Indonesia, as the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, has a significant demand for halal products, including pharmaceuticals. Halal certification serves not only as a regulatory compliance requirement but also as a strategic tool to build consumer trust, ensuring that products meet both religious and quality standards. This article aims to descriptively examine the process and challenges of preparing for halal certification in the pharmaceutical industry, focusing on the evaluation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients. The study is based on firsthand experience during a pharmacist professional practice (PKPA) at a national pharmaceutical company. Key areas of focus include material flowchart analysis, identification of critical non-halal points, and the implementation of the Halal Product Assurance System SJPH, in line with Indonesian halal regulatory frameworks. The findings highlight the importance of systematically identifying critical points, especially in evaluating the origin and status of materials such as alcohol, enzymes, and activated carbon, which frequently raise concerns in halal compliance. Furthermore, successful implementation requires comprehensive documentation, revision of standard operating procedures (SOPs), and staff training to ensure traceability and consistency throughout the supply chain. Collaboration with the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) is also vital for technical guidance and certification processes. The study concludes that a structured and integrated approach to halal assurance not only facilitates certification but also enhances operational quality and market competitiveness. This study is expected to provide practical insights for pharmaceutical industries in effectively and sustainably implementing halal regulations, contributing to broader consumer protection and industry accountability.

The palm oil industry is a vital component of Indonesia's economy, significantly contributing to foreign exchange earnings and employment opportunities, particularly in rural and plantation-based regions where economic alternatives are limited. However, the sector is increasingly challenged by global sustainability concerns, particularly the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which poses a threat to Indonesia’s palm oil exports due to its strict environmental standards and traceability requirements. This study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature review to explore the role of innovation and legal protection in strengthening the sustainability and global competitiveness of Indonesia’s palm oil industry. Specifically, it investigates how the development of superior plant varieties and the application of Plant Variety Protection (PVP) under the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) framework contribute to long-term industry resilience. The findings indicate that superior varieties such as DxP Topaz, DxP PTPN V, and Lonsum DxP have been instrumental in boosting productivity, reducing the need for land expansion, enhancing oil yield per hectare, and improving overall resource efficiency. Moreover, legal protection through PVP not only secures exclusive rights for breeders but also incentivizes further agricultural innovation and prevents the unauthorized use and duplication of valuable genetic resources. In light of international regulatory pressures, strengthening the national PVP system, promoting the registration of local superior varieties, and integrating legal instruments with research and development are essential. These efforts can safeguard Indonesia’s genetic sovereignty and support sustainable practices in compliance with international environmental standards. Ultimately, aligning agricultural innovation with a robust legal framework is key to maintaining the industry’s market access, environmental credibility, and long-term sustainability.

Good Corporate Governance (GCG) refers to the practices and processes that guide a company's operations and decision-making, significantly influencing its financial performance. This study employs secondary and quantitative data, utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, with sources obtained from the Google Scholar website. The research focuses on the impact of the Independent Board of Commissioners, the Audit Committee, and Managerial Ownership on financial performance. The findings indicate that effective corporate governance, particularly the presence of an independent Board of Commissioners, positively influences financial performance as assessed by Return on Assets (ROA). Additionally, the Audit Committee is shown to have a significant and positive effect on financial performance. In contrast, while Managerial Ownership does not appear to impact financial performance when evaluated through ROA, it does exhibit a positive correlation when assessed using Tobin's Q. This suggests that higher managerial ownership can enhance market perceptions of the company's long-term value and stability. The study concludes that the successful implementation of Good Corporate Governance practices can lead to improved financial performance for companies. Conversely, inadequate execution of these governance principles may result in diminished financial performance and overall company value. Therefore, it is crucial for organizations to prioritize and effectively implement GCG to foster better financial outcomes and enhance their market standing. This research underscores the importance of governance structures in shaping financial results and highlights the need for companies to focus on governance practices to achieve sustainable growth and value creation.

Air circulation and natural lighting are among the key aspects influencing the comfort of room usage, particularly in dormitory buildings inhabited by university students. This study aims to explore thermal comfort more deeply, focusing on air circulation and natural lighting within student dormitory rooms in the Riau Islands. A qualitative method was employed, collecting up-to-date data on the selected building. Building simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and DIALux were conducted to analyze the speed of air circulation and the quality of natural lighting within the rooms. The results reveal that prior to evaluation, the dormitory rooms faced thermal issues related to poor air circulation and insufficient natural lighting. Wind speed was recorded at less than 2 m/s, and the incoming and outgoing airflow collided due to the presence of only one ventilation access. The evaluation using cross-ventilation through room openings showed a positive impact on indoor air circulation, increasing wind speeds to 2–4 m/s. The cross-ventilation concept also enhanced the discharge and exchange of indoor air, preventing air stagnation. In terms of natural lighting, the simulation showed that lighting intensity in several rooms was below the minimum standard of 250 lux, particularly in areas far from the window openings. After modifications to the window layout and the addition of secondary light-transmitting elements, the lighting level significantly improved to meet the recommended standard. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating both passive ventilation and natural lighting strategies in student dormitory designs. Improving these environmental aspects not only enhances thermal comfort but also supports the health, productivity, and well-being of the residents. This study contributes to the growing body of research on sustainable dormitory design and can be used as a reference for future architectural planning and policy improvements.

This study aims to examine the extent to which social media is utilized in agribusiness learning among students at Universitas Adzkia. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, using a Likert scale-based questionnaire as the research instrument. The collected data were tabulated and classified into score percentages to determine the category of social media utilization. The research was conducted from June to July 2024 using a census method, involving all 38 students enrolled in the Agribusiness Study Program at Universitas Adzkia. The findings indicate that overall, the use of social media in agribusiness learning falls into the moderate category, with a score percentage of 55.76%. When broken down into agribusiness sub-systems, the results show that the use of social media in the agricultural input supply sub-system was 55.76%, in farming activities 56.14%, agricultural product processing 49.67%, marketing 44.08%, and agribusiness support services 47.20%. These results suggest that although social media has been used in the learning process, its utilization is still at a moderate level and not yet evenly distributed across all agribusiness sub-systems. This presents both opportunities and challenges for lecturers and educational institutions to develop more innovative, technology-based learning strategies. To enhance the effectiveness of agribusiness learning, it is recommended that lecturers actively encourage students to use social media in a productive manner. This could be implemented through the assignment of structured tasks that require the use of social media platforms for academic discussions, information searches, and the creation or sharing of relevant agribusiness content. Such efforts are expected to make social media not only a tool that enriches students' learning experiences but also a means to deepen their understanding of the dynamic and ever-evolving field of agribusiness. Ultimately, integrating social media into learning can support the development of digital competencies and practical insights among agribusiness students in higher education.

This study investigates the monetary transmission mechanisms influencing inflation and exchange rates across seven Southeast Asian countries (Myanmar, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) over the period 2010–2023, with special focus on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research addresses the problem of macroeconomic instability, particularly the volatility in inflation and currency values during crisis periods, and aims to identify the dominant monetary factors affecting these indicators. The study employs a mixed quantitative approach using Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR), Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL), and Paired Sample t-Test to analyze the short-term and long-term relationships among key variables: Gross Domestic Product (GDP), investment, money supply (M2), interest rates, inflation, and exchange rates. Findings reveal that GDP is the most influential factor impacting both inflation and exchange rates, followed by money supply and interest rates. The variance decomposition analysis confirms that these monetary variables significantly explain macroeconomic fluctuations in both pre- and post-pandemic contexts. The t-Test further indicates statistically significant changes in inflation and exchange rates before and after the pandemic, highlighting the disruptive effect of COVID-19 on economic stability. The results demonstrate that inflation declined significantly in most countries during the pandemic, while exchange rate behavior varied depending on economic resilience and policy responsiveness. The study concludes that maintaining macroeconomic stability requires not only monetary policy coordination but also effective public health crisis management. This research contributes to the regional policy discourse by offering empirical insights and evidence-based recommendations to strengthen economic resilience in Southeast Asia.
