Cattle farming plays a strategic role in rural economic development by generating employment, supplementary household income, and contributing to food and nutritional security. However, in Indonesia, most smallholder cattle enterprises remain traditional and small-scale, leading farmers to treat livestock farming primarily as a secondary livelihood. While previous studies have largely focused on technical adoption and production performance, limited attention has been given to farmers’ psychological interest as a foundation for sustaining livestock enterprises. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the level of community interest in cattle farming and examine the influence of farmers’ characteristics (age, education level, herd size, number of family dependents, farming experience, and primary income) on such interest. A quantitative survey was conducted involving 34 cattle farmers in Taji Village, Jabung District, Malang Regency, selected using total sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that community interest in cattle farming is generally high, as reflected in emotional (3.93), cognitive (3.81), and conative (3.74) dimensions measured on a four-point Likert scale. Regression results indicate that age has a significant positive effect (p = 0.022), whereas farming experience has a significant negative effect (p = 0.025) on interest levels. Other variables show no statistically significant influence. These findings highlight that psychological engagement in cattle farming is shaped more by demographic and experiential factors than by formal education or income level. The study contributes to the literature by positioning interest as a psychological determinant of livestock sustainability. Policy implications emphasize the urgency of risk-mitigation extension programs to address farmer burnout, incentivized intergenerational knowledge transfer, and cooperative-based institutional support to ensure smallholder livestock sustainability.

The development of the digital economy has led to increasing complexity in tax management for technology-based companies. Various digital business activities, such as cross-border transactions, the utilization of intangible assets, and evolving tax regulations, require companies to adopt appropriate tax strategies. This study aims to analyze the strategic role of tax consultants in supporting business decision-making within technology-based firms. The research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method, examining various scientific journals, books, tax regulations, and relevant professional publications. The findings indicate that tax consultants no longer function solely as compliance supporters but have evolved into strategic partners for companies in tax planning, the utilization of fiscal incentives, tax risk mitigation, digital transaction management, and investment and business expansion decision-making. This role contributes to improved financial efficiency and reduced tax-related legal risks. This study emphasizes that the involvement of tax consultants from the business planning stage can enhance the quality of managerial decision-making in technology-based companies.

Financial technology growth via digital wallets in Indonesia offers transaction convenience but challenges Sharia compliance. The main issues involve managing floating funds and cashback rewards, which risk exposure to riba. This study aims to examine and compare riba risk mitigation strategies in both areas. Employing normative legal research with qualitative, comparative, and conceptual approaches, it utilizes library research from DSN-MUI Fatwas, the Qur’an, Hadith, and fiqh muamalah literature. The findings reveal that floating fund riba risks can be minimized by depositing assets in Islamic financial institutions using wadiah or mudharabah contracts to avoid riba nasi’ah. Meanwhile, cashback riba risks are prevented by shifting the contract from qard to ju’alah or hibah mu’allaq, treating incentives as transaction rewards rather than loan benefits. Comparative analysis shows floating fund mitigation is structural, while cashback is reconstructive. Both work effectively under Sharia Supervisory Board monitoring. In conclusion, compliance requires practical execution via appropriate contracts, transparent supervision, and public education. Therefore, contract standardization by DSN-MUI and OJK, alongside enhanced Islamic financial literacy, is necessary.

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are no longer viewed solely as religious educational institutions but also as socio-economic entities that play a strategic role in community empowerment and the development of the Islamic economy. The emergence of various pesantren business units, including Islamic cooperatives, Islamic microfinance institutions, agribusinesses, and service enterprises, reflects the transformation of pesantren into productive and economically independent institutions. However, many pesantren continue to face challenges in achieving economic sustainability, including weak governance systems, limited managerial professionalism, inadequate human resources, and excessive dependence on charismatic leadership. This study aims to develop a conceptual model of pesantren business governance based on Islamic governance principles to achieve institutional economic sustainability. Using a qualitative approach and library research method, this study analyzes relevant literature on pesantren economics, Islamic governance, sustainability, and risk management. The findings indicate that sustainable pesantren economic development requires the integration of Islamic governance values, namely amanah (trustworthiness), transparency, justice, and maslahah (public benefit), with modern management systems and comprehensive risk management practices. The study proposes a conceptual governance framework linking pesantren resources, sharia governance, professional management, and risk mitigation as key determinants of economic independence and institutional sustainability. This framework is expected to provide strategic guidance for strengthening pesantren-based economic development in a sustainable and socially beneficial manner.

The implementation of Occupational Safety and Health aims to ensure the protection of employees’ safety and health from potential hazards arising from work, while ensuring a safe and sustainable work environment. The implementation of OSH and environmental health also provides broad strategic benefits such as worker protection, cost efficiency, increased productivity, regulatory compliance, and enhanced corporate reputation.  

The implementation of healthy and safe school standards is a strategic effort to create a learning environment that supports the health and safety of elementary school students. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of healthy and safe school standards at SDN 6 Kendari, which is characterized by its proximity to a market and a main road. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design, involving field observations, the completion of a healthy and safe school indicator questionnaire, and interviews with educators. The results indicate that SDN 6 Kendari has met most of the healthy school indicators, evidenced by well-maintained buildings, adequate ventilation and lighting, proper sanitation and waste management, and students’ consistent practice of clean and healthy living behaviors. Regarding the safe school aspect, the school’s social environment is relatively conducive and free from risky behaviors, supported by the availability of a monitoring system and collaboration with relevant parties. However, several areas still require improvement, such as the equitable distribution of handwashing facilities, more strategic placement of portable fire extinguishers, and strengthening traffic risk mitigation measures due to the school’s location. Overall, the implementation of healthy and safe school standards at SDN 6 Kendari has been proceeding well, but requires continuous improvement to achieve optimal compliance with the standards.

The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Indonesia continues to face various challenges, particularly those related to poverty, social inequality, and increasing environmental degradation caused by climate change. These conditions highlight the need for an instrument capable of integrating social welfare objectives with environmental sustainability. This article aims to analyze the role of green zakat as an Islamic social finance instrument in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a library research method through the collection and analysis of various sources, including academic journals, books, official reports, and other relevant documents related to zakat, Islamic social finance, green economy, and sustainable development. The findings indicate that green zakat has significant potential to support the achievement of the SDGs through environmentally based economic empowerment programs, such as sustainable agriculture, reforestation, waste management, and the development of eco-friendly businesses for vulnerable communities. In addition to contributing to poverty alleviation, green zakat can support climate change mitigation efforts and environmental conservation in line with the principles of maqashid sharia. However, its implementation still faces several challenges, including limited public literacy, inadequate regulatory support, and suboptimal governance of environmental-based programs. Therefore, stronger collaboration among government institutions, zakat management organizations, and society is needed to develop a more effective green zakat model. Future studies are recommended to conduct empirical research to measure the impact of green zakat implementation on specific and measurable SDG indicators.

The proliferation of social media interactions frequently results in an increased risk of cyberbullying. This study aims to evaluate the impact of digital literacy, digital security, and digital communication on cyberbullying prevention among Generation Z TikTok users. Employing an explanatory quantitative approach, data were collected through online questionnaires distributed to Generation Z students in the Information Systems Study Program at Universitas Internasional Batam. The respondent data were then analyzed using the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The analytical results reveal that digital literacy does not significantly affect cyberbullying prevention. Conversely, both digital security and digital communication demonstrate a significant impact on cyberbullying prevention. Among the investigated variables, digital communication exerts the most dominant influence on preventing cyberbullying. These findings suggest that preventing cyberbullying requires more than merely digital knowledge; it heavily relies on the implementation of digital security measures and the capacity for ethical communication in digital environments. Ultimately, this research is expected to serve as a valuable reference for formulating effective cyberbullying mitigation strategies for Generation Z across social media platforms.

Background: The rising global burden of hypertension presents a massive public health challenge, with its mitigation heavily tied to modifiable dietary factors. Among these, the escalating intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has emerged as a significant dietary risk. Objectives: This study aims to synthesize recent epidemiological evidence regarding the association between various types of sweetened beverages and the risk of hypertension. Methods: A narrative-analytical review was conducted by retrieving observational studies and meta-analyses published between 2023 and 2026 from the Scopus database using explicit keyword combinations targeting SSBs, prospective cohorts, and blood pressure outcomes. Findings: Synthesized data reveals that high consumption of traditional SSBs significantly increases hypertension risk by 13% (RR: 1.13) and elevates systolic blood pressure in children, primarily driven by excess liquid calories. Artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) show a 14% risk increase in observational data, potentially confounded by reverse causation, whereas acute pure fructose ingestion triggers rapid transient blood pressure elevation. Energy drinks induce rapid 24-hour blood pressure spikes due to high caffeine content. Conversely, 100% pure fruit juice exerts a protective effect (RR: 0.74) via endothelial-improving polyphenols, while honey demonstrates a neutral effect. Implications: Public health policies must implement aggressive regulatory interventions, such as taxation on SSBs and energy drinks, alongside targeted dietary counseling that differentiates between harmful liquid sugars and protective natural fruit juices.

Flooding remains a recurrent hazard in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta (DKI Jakarta), causing substantial disruptions across multiple dimensions community life, including social well-being and economic activities. The availability of flood-related information through the Jakarta One Data Portal (Satu Data Jakarta) provides significant opportunities for broader data utilization; however, transforming such information into meaningful assessments regional vulnerability requires a systematic analytical approach to generate more comprehensive understanding of the conditions of individual urban villages (kelurahan). This study focuses on the classification areas based on the characteristics and impacts of flood events occurring throughout DKI Jakarta. The analysis utilizes flood event records from 2023 to 2025 and incorporates several indicators, including the number of flood occurrences, the number of affected neighborhood associations (RW), the number affected households, the number of affected residents, the number of evacuees, the number of evacuation sites, and floodwater depth. Data processing was conducted using the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) framework, encompassing data selection, cleaning and preprocessing, transformation, pattern exploration, result evaluation, and knowledge extraction. The findings demonstrate that three-cluster solution effectively captures variations in flood vulnerability levels, corresponding to low-, moderate-, and high-risk categories. A total of 96 urban villages were classified as low-risk, 27 as moderate-risk, and 46 as high-risk areas. The resulting clustering patterns provide a clearer spatial representation of flood-risk distribution across urban villages, thereby offering valuable insights for the development more targeted mitigation strategies, the prioritization of flood management interventions, and the enhancement of evidence-based decision-making processes in DKI Jakarta.

The growth of the nickel mining industry in Indonesia, particularly in Southeast Sulawesi Province, has made this sector one of the main contributors to the Regional Gross Domestic Product (RGDP). However, the development of supporting infrastructure—especially mining haulage roads—still faces various risks that could potentially cause project delays and disrupt operational efficiency. Therefore, a systematic risk identification process is necessary to ensure that project implementation proceeds in accordance with established time, cost, and quality targets. This study aims to identify and assess risks in mining infrastructure development projects using a stakeholder-based approach. This approach is employed to gain an understanding of the risks that arise from the perspectives of the parties involved in the project. The results of this study describe the dominant risks that could potentially occur in nickel mining projects, namely opposition from the local community surrounding the project, conflicts with community organizations, denial of access to project roads, and disruption of project security due to inadequate security measures by authorities. It is hoped that these dominant risks can serve as a basis for developing effective risk mitigation strategies to support the successful and sustainable development of mining infrastructure.

This article examines the urgency of strengthening Islamic creed (aqidah) as a preventive instrument in addressing religious radicalism. The rise of extremism is not merely driven by sociological factors, but is also rooted in a theological crisis, namely textual interpretations that give rise to exclusivism and takfiri doctrines. Employing a conceptual literature review method, this study deconstructs the pathology of radicalism and reconstructs the preventive dimensions of aqidah. The findings reveal that ideological mitigation is grounded in three dimensions of aqidah: Tawhid as a means of liberating reason from group arrogance, wasathiyyah (moderation) in maintaining tolerance, and the absolute integration of faith with social morality. To be effective, these values must be institutionalized within Islamic education through the transformation of critical pedagogy, the strengthening of religious digital literacy, and the development of an inclusive school culture. Strengthening aqidah is therefore not merely a transfer of dogma, but the formation of a moderate worldview as a strong shield against the infiltration of radical ideologies.

The high volatility of cryptocurrency assets, particularly Ethereum, poses a significant challenge for investors during market downturns. Traditional passive strategies often lead to substantial capital erosion in bearish conditions. This study explores the application of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) through the Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithm to develop an adaptive trading agent. By integrating technical indicators—Relative Strength Index (RSI), Simple Moving Average (SMA), and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)—the proposed model aims to optimize decision-making processes. Experimental results using historical data from 2020 to 2026 demonstrate that while the market experienced a significant decline of 19.55%, the DQN agent successfully maintained capital stability with a marginal deviation of only -0.54%. This finding suggests that the DQN-based approach offers superior risk mitigation and capital preservation capabilities compared to conventional buy-and-hold strategies in volatile financial environments.

The modern construction industry confronts complex challenges that require the built environment to transcend mere structural compliance and actively promote psychological well-being, productivity, and human safety. This study explores the integration of color psychology as a fundamental element in the engineering of the built environment through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing Architecture, Civil Engineering (specifically Occupational Health and Safety/OHS), and Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) engineering. Drawing upon a systematic literature review following the PRISMA guidelines for structured article identification and screening, and conceptual synthesis, the findings indicate that color operates as a crucial neurobiological catalyst. Within architecture, color modulates cognition, emotion, and thermal perception (examining the hue-heat hypothesis and thermal reflectance index). In civil engineering and OHS, standardized color coding elicits heuristic responses for instantaneous hazard mitigation on-site, specifically serving to minimize visual work fatigue. Furthermore, in MEP engineering, color is utilized as an ontological mapping system to navigate critical infrastructure; this is subsequently integrated with Building Information Modeling (BIM) to facilitate spatial conflict resolution. The synergy of these disciplines, further supported by Human-Centric Lighting (HCL), is proposed as a holistic framework for optimizing the building life cycle and ensuring worker safety.

Dredger operations in water-based mining areas have a high occupational risk because they involve a combination of wet environments, mechanical equipment, and electrical systems. The presence of electrical panels, power cables, terminal connections, electric motors, inverters/drives, and protection components on the Dredger requires a sound understanding of Occupational Health and Safety, particularly electrical safety. Water splashes, wet walking surfaces, high humidity, and improper procedures during inspection or cleaning may increase the risk of short circuits, protection trips, and electric shock. Therefore, structured basic safety training is required so that operators are able to identify electrical hazards and implement safe working procedures. This activity aimed to improve operators’ understanding of hazardous electrical components, initial safety briefing procedures, measurement practice and safe handling during trips or short-circuit indications, and the correct and safe use of water pumps for unit cleaning. The activity was carried out through field observation, technical briefing, direct demonstration on the electrical panel and work area, simple measurement practice, and safe cleaning practice. The results indicate that field documentation can serve as an effective learning medium to strengthen operators’ understanding of electrical hazard sources on the Dredger, the application of simple lock out-tag out procedures, the control of wet areas, and the limitation of water spray direction during cleaning activities. Overall, the activity shows that improved compliance with safety procedures may reduce the risk of short circuits and electric shock during operation and maintenance.

This study aims to examine flood disaster mitigation efforts carried out by the Regional Disaster Management Agency in Sukamakmur Village, Karawang Regency. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. The theory used in this study is the Strategy Theory proposed by James Brian Quinn (2003:10), which consists of three dimensions: objectives, policies, and programs. The study identifies problems related to flood disasters that occur almost every year in Sukamakmur Village. To address these issues, it is necessary to analyze the mitigation efforts implemented by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), as well as the related policies and programs concerning flood disasters. The findings show that the objective of disaster mitigation is directed toward improving community preparedness and capacity in dealing with flood risks. Mitigation policies are implemented through strengthening community capacity based on non-structural mitigation, such as the establishment of Disaster Resilient Villages (DESTANA), village disaster volunteers, and disaster risk assessments. The mitigation programs carried out include disaster awareness socialization, mitigation training, and dissemination of daily weather information. In its implementation, BPBD also coordinates with the village government, sub-district task forces, and the River Basin Management Agency (BBWS). These mitigation programs have had a positive impact on increasing community knowledge, preparedness, and participation, although there are still obstacles in the form of limited budgets, infrastructure, human resources, and suboptimal cross-sector coordination. The contribution of this research is to provide additional insight and new information regarding the role of the Regional Disaster Management Agency in flood disaster mitigation.

Bintan Regency, as a coastal area with a strategic geographical location as an international shipping route, is vulnerable to marine pollution caused by oil spills. Repeated incidents throughout 2023-2025 show that this problem has not been resolved. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of MARPOL Annex I as a regulation that prevents pollution caused by oil spills at sea, particularly in Bintan Regency. This study identifies gaps in the implementation of regulations at the national level and formulates a more integrated form of prevention through strengthened supervision and the application of technology. The method used is a qualitative descriptive method through a literature review approach, with secondary data from scientific journals, articles, media reports, YouTube, and other supporting documents related to the incident. The results of the study show that: first, mitigation efforts are still focused on post-spill responses, such as manual cleanup involving institutions and the community. Second, weak border patrols make it difficult to find the perpetrators. Third, Bintan Regency has not utilized technology such as blockchain as a potential tool that can help prove ship compliance with MARPOL Annex I. Although MARPOL Annex I has been implemented in accordance with national regulations, its implementation has proven ineffective as spills continue to recur to this day. Therefore, changes are needed in terms of prevention through integrated maritime surveillance and the introduction of digital technology for reporting ship compliance with MARPOL Annex I in the Bintan Regency area.
