Abstract

The development of strategic industries in Muslim countries in general, and specifically Indonesia, has found stagnant conditions, not developed and not even made a top priority in the concept of state development they are designing. This is in contrast to capitalist countries which are competing to become a new face as a country with the forefront strategic industry. The purpose of this article is to provide a conceptual description of thinking of Muslim countries in viewing sovereignty. Sovereignty in these days means independence from various dependencies, especially political-economic dependence. This study used a qualitative library research method. the results of the study found gaps in the concept of development in Muslim countries in the concept of development towards sovereignty through strategic industries. The novelty of this concept is to see the potential of ASEAN countries, especially Indonesia, to be able to take a big role in an important strategic industrial position for Muslim countries.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Pandeglang is recorded as the district with the highest poverty rate in Banten Province until 2023. This is in contrast to the potential of the resources owned by the region. The superior plantation commodity in the form of coconut is one of the best and most abundant commodities in Banten Province. The problem found in Cilentung Village, Pulosari District, Pandeglang Regency is that people sell coconuts in bulk to the city, then the coconut waste is returned to the village, causing environmental pollution and no innovation in diversification of coconut waste derivative products. The purpose of PkM is to train the community in making Liquid Smoke from coconut waste to support the economic independence of the people of Cilentung Village, Pandeglang Regency. The methods used to answer this problem are socialization of liquid smoke waste into Liquid Smoke, application of pyrolysis technology and coconut waste shredding machines, training in Making Liquid Smoke from Coconut Waste, mentoring and evaluation of activities.

Abstract

This research aims to show the effect of the value of the halal label and celebrity endorser on purchasing decisions for halal cosmetic products with religiosity as a moderating variable. The method uses descriptive quantitative by analyzing the responses to questionnaires distributed to 228 respondents in Indonesia. Based on previous research, four hypotheses were built, and the collected data were processed using a path analysis tool through the Smart PLS 3.3.3 application. The results showed that the halal label variable and celebrity endorser significantly affected purchasing decisions for halal cosmetic products, with religiosity as a moderating variable. Meanwhile, the religiosity variable does not moderate the effect of the halal label and celebrity endorser on the decision to purchase halal cosmetic products. This finding confirms that religiosity has not sufficiently strengthened the influence of the halal label and celebrity endorser on the decision to purchase halal cosmetic products. In order to increase knowledge of Muslim halal in purchasing decisions for halal cosmetic products, the role of halal guarantee institutions and cosmetic manufacturers is needed in optimizing halal certification both from the content and production process. Business actors must increase awareness of the halalness of a product that can convince and encourage Muslim consumers, especially the millennial generation, to make decisions to purchase halal cosmetic products in Indonesia. This study is the first to examine the halal label and celebrity endorser on the decision to purchase halal cosmetic products with religiosity as a moderating variable and reveal its strength and weakness.
