This research examines the legal safeguards for children born outside of marriage in Indonesia after the release of Constitutional Court Decision (MK) No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010, which represented a pivotal shift in national family legislation. Up until now, children born outside of marriage have frequently encountered bias and unfair treatment, both socially and legally. The Constitutional Court (MK) Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 marks an important advancement in enhancing the civil status of children born outside of marriage, establishing connections not just with their mother and her relatives, but also with their biological father if scientifically validated, for instance, via DNA testing. In this research, the author will examine how judges define legal protection for children born outside of marriage in light of Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 and how this decision is executed in legal practices and everyday life, especially concerning the acknowledgment of rights for children born outside of marriage and the obligations of their biological fathers.This study uses a normative research method with a legislative approach and a case approach.  Data was collected through library research covering primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, namely by collecting legal materials through studies of books, journals, legal research results,  as well as various official institutional documents such as regulations and other literature relevant to the issues being studied.  The research findings indicate that legal protection for children born out of wedlock needs to be further strengthened through legal reform, public education,  and legal recognition and validation mechanisms, so that the basic rights of children can be optimally fulfilled in accordance with human rights principles and applicable laws and regulations.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of liquid organic fertilizer (POC) derived from kirinyuh (Chromolaena odorata) leaves on the growth and yield of potted corn plants. The research was carried out at the Agricultural Development Center (BPP) of Malimbong Balepe’, Tana Toraja District, South Sulawesi Province, located at an altitude of 815 meters above sea level. The experiment was designed using a simple randomized block design (RBD) consisting of four treatments: K0 = control (without treatment), K1 = 20% concentration of kirinyuh leaf POC (200 ml POC + 800 ml water), K2 = 40% concentration of kirinyuh leaf POC (400 ml POC + 600 ml water), and K3 = 60% concentration of kirinyuh leaf POC (600 ml POC + 400 ml water). Parameters observed included plant height at 5 and 7 weeks after planting (WAP), number of leaves at 7 WAP, ear length, ear diameter, and ear weight per plant. The results showed that kirinyuh leaf POC significantly affected the growth and productivity of potted corn plants. Application of POC at 60% concentration (K3) produced the best results, indicated by increased plant height, greater number of leaves, longer ear length, larger ear diameter, and higher ear weight compared to other treatments and control. This finding suggests that kirinyuh leaves, which are often considered as agricultural weeds, have potential as an alternative source of organic fertilizer that is environmentally friendly, low-cost, and effective in improving crop growth and yield. In conclusion, kirinyuh leaf-based liquid organic fertilizer, particularly at a concentration of 60%, demonstrated the highest effectiveness in supporting corn growth and productivity. These results provide practical insights for farmers to utilize locally available organic materials as an alternative to chemical fertilizers in sustainable agricultural practices.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Tallang bamboo root PGPR on the growth and production of peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea L.) elephant variety. The study was conducted from March 2025 to July 2025 in Lion Tondok Iring Village, North Makale District, Tana Toraja Regency, at an altitude of 828 meters above sea level. The research method used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with one treatment factor, namely the concentration of Tallang bamboo root PGPR, which consisted of four treatment levels: P0 = without Tallang bamboo root PGPR (control), P1 = 15 ml/L water, P2 = 30 ml/L water, and P3 = 45 ml/L water. The variables observed included the number of pods per plant, fresh weight of pods per plant, dry weight of pods per plant, seed weight per plant, seed weight per plot, seed yield per hectare, and harvest index. The results showed that the application of Tallang bamboo root PGPR at a concentration of 30 ml/L water (P2) had the best effect on all growth and yield parameters, namely the number of pods per plant, fresh weight of pods per plant, dry weight of pods per plant, seed weight per plant, seed weight per plot, seed yield per hectare, and harvest index, compared to the control or other concentration treatments. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of Tallang bamboo root PGPR at a concentration of 30 ml/L water is the most effective dose to increase the growth and production of Gajah variety peanut plants.

The agricultural sector plays a vital role in supporting Indonesia's economy, particularly in food provision and increasing rural household income. One of the promising horticultural commodities is California papaya (Carica papaya L.), known for its high productivity and short harvesting cycle. This crop is favored by farmers due to its stable market demand. However, to ensure the financial feasibility of this farming enterprise, a comprehensive financial analysis is necessary. This study aims to analyze the revenue, production costs, income, and financial feasibility of California papaya farming in Hinai Subdistrict, Langkat Regency. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method through a survey approach, with a purposive sample of 34 farmers. Data were analyzed using a farm income analysis approach, including the calculation of fixed costs, variable costs, total revenue, net income, and the Revenue/Cost (R/C) ratio. The results showed that the total production cost was IDR 590.734.000, while the total revenue reached IDR 1.970.685.000. The net income obtained by farmers amounted to IDR 1.379.951.000, with an average income of IDR 40.586.794 per farmer. The R/C ratio was calculated at 3.33, meaning that every IDR 1 spent on production costs generated IDR 3.33  in revenue. California papaya farming in Hinai Subdistrict is financially feasible, provides significant profit, and has strong potential to be further developed as a primary income source for horticultural farmers.

The growing demand for organic fertilizers as an alternative to chemical fertilizers is in line with increasing public awareness of environmentally friendly agriculture. Meanwhile, livestock waste, particularly rabbit urine, remains underutilized and is often discarded, despite its high nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content and potential as a raw material for liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). This study aims to design and develop a simple technological innovation for processing rabbit urine into economically valuable LOF, offering new business opportunities for local communities. Another objective is to advance bioactivator-based processing technology to produce an effective, marketable, and eco-friendly organic fertilizer that enhances plant growth. The research employed an applied research method with an experimental approach, including collection and processing of rabbit urine, simple production of LOF, effectiveness testing on horticultural crops with local farmers, and analysis of business feasibility and local marketing strategies. The study resulted in a simple bioactivator-based technology for converting rabbit urine into LOF through a fermentation process of more than 14 days, producing fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The LOF improved horticultural crop growth by 25–30% compared to control plants. The group business model provides livestock farmers with new business opportunities, achieving profit margins between 40% and 50%. This research produced a replicable technology guide and usable LOF product, contributing to waste reduction and supporting sustainable agriculture through community-based entrepreneurship.

This study aims to analyze the financial performance differences of Bank Syariah Indonesia before and after the merger based on three key ratios: Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR), Operational Expenses to Operating Income (BOPO), and Return on Assets (ROA). A comparative quantitative approach was applied using financial statement data from the 2017–2024 period, analyzed with normality tests and paired sample t-tests. The normality test results indicate that all data are normally distributed. The paired sample t-test reveals no significant difference in the FDR ratio before and after the merger, while significant differences are found in BOPO and ROA. These findings indicate that the merger affected the efficiency and profitability of the bank, but not directly the effectiveness of fund distribution. The study implies that Bank Syariah Indonesia needs to strengthen operational efficiency and asset management post-merger. Future researchers are encouraged to include non-financial variables and apply qualitative approaches to gain more comprehensive insights.

Purple sweet potato yogurt is a form of local food innovation made from milk fermented by lactic acid bacteria (LAB), with the addition of purple sweet potato paste to enhance flavor and color, thereby increasing consumer appeal. During fermentation, LAB require carbon derived from carbohydrates as an energy source for their metabolism and growth. Differences in carbon sources are expected to influence and produce distinct yogurt characteristics. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of various carbon sources on the characteristics of purple sweet potato yogurt. The experiment was conducted using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with a single treatment factor: the type of carbon source. Six treatments were tested, namely: no sugar (control), granulated sugar, palm sugar, sugarcane juice, coconut sugar, and honey. The results indicated that different carbon sources caused variations in total dissolved solids, total lactic acid bacteria, total titratable acidity, and total reducing sugars. Carbon sources significantly affected titratable acidity, reducing sugar content, total dissolved solids, color, taste, and the overall sensory evaluation of purple sweet potato yogurt. The yogurt produced exhibited titratable acidity values ranging from 1.69% to 1.86%, reducing sugar content from 1.11% to 1.46%, total LAB counts from 0.28 to 89.50 × 10¹0 CFU/g, and total dissolved solids from 10.25 to 17.75 °Brix. Sensory evaluation scores ranged as follows: color preference 2.83–4.26 (dislike to like), texture 3.43–3.76 (like), aroma 3.53–3.70 (like), taste 2.67–3.70 (dislike to like), and overall acceptability 3.43–3.90 (like).

Tofu is a common food made from soybeans. However, because soybeans have limitations in terms of availability, other alternative ingredients such as palm kernel meal (BIS) are needed. The purpose of this study was to determine the best concentration of palm kernel meal added to tofu making so as to reduce dependence on the use of soybeans. The study was designed using a completely randomized design with 1 factorial, namely the concentration of BIS and soybeans. The concentration variations used were: A1 (control, 100% soybean), A2 (25% BIS: 75% soybean), A3 (50% BIS: 50% soybean), and A4 (75% BIS: 25% soybean). The parameters tested were BIS crude fiber, proximate analysis and tofu organoleptic. The results showed that BIS after fermentation experienced a decrease in crude fiber from 27.25 to 18.375%. Based on the proximate analysis, the variation of 75% BIS: 25% soybean is the best concentration with the highest protein content of 45.14%. Likewise, the moisture, ash, fat and carbohydrate content obtained were 79.05; 1.00; 6.20; and 0.96%. The organoleptic showed the level of panelists' liking for color, aroma, texture and taste with the value of panelists' liking level respectively 3.11; 4.09; 3.6 and 3.96 which indicates that this product can be accepted by the community.

Indonesia has many types of junk food that have a strong taste, but are generally not nutritionally balanced, namely high in fat, salt, or sugar and low in fiber. One of the most popular is nuggets which are generally made from meat. As a healthier alternative, nuggets are made using oyster mushrooms which are low in fat and higher in fiber, and combined with gluten-free and high-fiber corn and tapioca flour to replace wheat flour which contains gluten. This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of corn and tapioca flour on the physicochemical characteristics of oyster mushroom nuggets. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with 5 treatments in duplicate. The formulation was used with a combination of corn and tapioca flour, namely 60: 0 (P1), 45: 15 (P2), 30: 30 (P3), 15: 45 (P4), and 0: 60 (P5). The results of the analysis have an effect (P <0.05) on chemical characteristics with a range (db%) of ash content of 3.9% -4.71%; fat content 1.37% - 7.76%; protein content 6.79% - 18.79%; carbohydrate content 71.46% - 77.43%; crude fiber 3.9% - 8.27%, and on physical characteristics with a textured range of 1.1N-2.69 N; color L 50.55- 53.73; color a 2.78- 4.64; color b 10.89-13.71. The implications of this study indicate that online substitution into mushrooms with a combination of corn flour and tapioca can affect the nutritional value and quality of nuggets.

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder marked by hyperglycemia resulting from the body's failure to synthesize insulin. Nutritional therapy is effective in controlling glucose levels by providing low glycemic index and high in antioxidant foods, including sweet potatoes and red beans. The primary objective of this study was to elucidate the influence of wheat flour replacement with composite flour consisting of sweet potato and red bean flour on anthocyanin content and the sensory preferences of muffins. A single-factor completely randomized approach was used in this experimental investigation. The treatment involved substituting wheat flour with a composite flour consisting of sweet potato and red bean flours, in the following ratios: 30:20:50 (F1), 30:35:35 (F2), 30:50:20 (F3), and 100:0:0 (F0, control). Anthocyanin content was analyzed using the differential pH method, while sensory preferences were evaluated by 30 semi-trained panelists using a hedonic scale test. The results showed that substituting wheat flour with composite flour high in sweet potato content increased anthocyanin levels. However, the substitution of wheat flour generally reduced the overall sensory preference for muffins. Despite this, formulations with a higher proportion of sweet potato flour improved the preference scores. In conclusion, the substitution of wheat flour with composite flour rich in sweet potato increased anthocyanin content and improved sensory preferences for color, aroma, and taste in muffins
