Physical modification of starch using microwave heat treatment (MHT) technology serves as an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to enhance the functional properties of starch without chemical additives. This article aims to examine the influence of microwave power and heating duration on the swelling power and solubility of various starch types, including tapioca, taro, sago, and lotus rhizome. A review of four studies revealed that power and time parameters significantly affect the crystalline structure of starch granules, resulting in either enhancement or reduction of their functional properties. High power or prolonged heating may decrease swelling power due to crystal restructuring and granule disruption, while solubility increases as a result of amylose and amylopectin degradation. MHT has proven to accelerate the heating process in a volumetric and efficient manner, improving water absorption capacity and viscosity. Despite its drawback of uneven heat distribution, this method remains relevant as a physical modification technique aligned with green processing principles in the food industry.

Study was to emit various strategies to develop buffalo cattle in a semi-intensive rearing system at BPTU HPT Siborongborong. Primary data, collected through observation, focus group discussion (FGD), and secondary data, collected through relevant reports and literature. Development potential, challenges and opportunities were identified using desirability evaluation, descriptive analysis and SWOT. The results show that the semi-intensive system implemented has improved animal productivity, with adult buffaloes averaging 500 kilograms in weight and 0.7 kilograms in daily growth. The system also offers significant economic benefits, with an average net profit of IDR 800,000 for each head each month. However, a lack of protected human resources and seasonal forage shortages remain constraints. Feed diversification, farmer training and analysing the use of advanced technology are the plans made based on SWOT. The Siborongborong semi-intensive system has a great opportunity to become an example of effective and sustainable buffalo management in Indonesia.

The findings show that this approach does not only focus on solving clients' problems, but also encourages self-development and deeper awareness, resulting in individuals behaving positively in daily life. Therefore, Kejatmikaan counseling is expected to be a model of counseling practice that is harmonious with the cultural values of the community. The results of this study include: (1) Basic philosophy, (2) Main concepts, (3) Objectives of Kejatmikaan counseling, (4) Counseling relationships, (5) Counseling techniques.

This study aims to evaluate the transparency and effectiveness of the use of the 2025 Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) in flood management in DKI Jakarta Province. Although the provincial government has allocated a large budget, the problem of flooding is still an annual issue that has not been resolved. Using a qualitative case study approach and George C. Edward III's policy implementation theory as an analytical tool, this study examines four key variables: communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results of the study indicate that policy implementation faces various obstacles such as communication with minimal public participation. Limited technical and human resources, implementer caution due to bureaucratic pressure, and weak integration between agencies. This study concludes that the problem of flooding in Jakarta is not only related to technical aspects, but is also a reflection of the suboptimal regional financial governance and sustainable and accountable public policy implementation system.

This study explores the synergy between investment decisions and sharia compliance validation in developing financial products for SMEs, with a case study of PT Syariah Sejahtera. The research emphasizes the importance of integrating halal principles into investment analysis using methods such as Payback Period (PBP), Net Present Value (NPV), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The validation process involves systematic steps, including initial identification, legal analysis, consultation with the Sharia Supervisory Board, and issuance of fatwas to ensure products comply with Islamic law. Results demonstrate that effective integration enhances product credibility, attracts market interest, and contributes to economic and social welfare, especially in the agricultural SME sector. The findings suggest that combining financial analysis with strict halal validation fosters sustainable growth of sharia-based financial services, reinforcing trust and regulatory compliance.

This study discusses 5G network security regulations and policies from a national and international perspective, with a focus on the challenges and handling of global cyber threats. Given the cross-border threats, security and regulation are important issues in the implementation of 5G technology. The approach used is qualitative interpretive with additional limited experiments, including cyber attack simulations. The result of the study show that cyber policies in Indonesia are not yet fully coordinated, unlike countries such as the US, the European Union, and China which have more comprehensive regulations. Experiments prove that the implementation of protocols such as IPSec and TLS can reduce risks in 5G networks. Therefore, Indonesia is advised to form more integrated regulations that comply with international standards. This study also suggests further research in real scenarios and the development of a more in-depth policy evaluation system.
