Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), especially in the snack industry sector, such as cassava crackers, play an important role in supporting the Indonesian economy through job creation and contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, MSMEs often face challenges in maintaining and expanding their market share amid increasingly fierce competition. This study aims to analyse the role of social capital in strengthening market segmentation strategies at Sadariyah Cassava Crackers Business in Blitar Regency. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. The informants in this study were five people, consisting of business owners, employees, regular customers, and local community leaders. The results show that social capital, which includes strong social networks, trust between businesses and consumers, and the application of local social norms such as gotong royong, contributes significantly to expanding the market and maintaining customer loyalty. The market segmentation strategy applied based on demographic, psychographic, and consumer behaviour factors proved effective in reaching various customer groups. These findings imply that the synergy between social capital and the right market segmentation strategy can improve the competitiveness of MSMEs in a competitive market and promote sustainable business growth.

Abstract

The hadith narrative regarding flies—stating that one wing carries disease while the other carries an antidote—presents a contradiction that necessitates scientific study to support the integration of Islam and science in education. This experimental study employed a completely randomized design with four treatments and seven replicates to assess the inhibitory effect of housefly (Musca domestica) body parts on Salmonella typhi growth in vitro. The results demonstrated that fly wings provided significantly higher growth inhibition ($p < 0.05$) than other body parts and the control. However, no significant difference was found between the right and left wings ($p > 0.05$). These findings establish an epistemological framework for science education through a "two-language dialogical paradigm." This model bridges religious narrative with empirical facts, promoting synergy between Islamic teachings and scientific discovery, while advancing natural-based antimicrobial research and strengthening the integration of Islamic values in science learning.
