Abstract

This research investigates the construction of religious messages and the efficacy of cultural preaching (da’wah) within the Pepe’-pepeka ri Makka (Fire in Mecca) dance tradition in Paropo Village, Makassar. While traditionally viewed as a cultural spectacle, this dance functions as a sophisticated medium for Islamic proselytization. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this study utilizes Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic framework—comprising signs, objects, and interpretants—to analyze the ritual’s poetry and choreography. Data were collected through participatory observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with key informants, including traditional maestros and religious figures. The findings reveal that the dance is a complex symbolic system representing core Islamic tenets, specifically Tawhid (monotheism), angelic hierarchies, and Thaharah (ritual purification). The fire serves as a potent index of divine light (Nur) and a symbol of spiritual resilience, echoing the miracle of Prophet Abraham. However, the analysis through the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model indicates a significant gap in public reception. While the performance elicits strong affective responses, such as awe and emotional engagement, the cognitive and behavioral impacts remain limited. This disconnect is attributed to linguistic barriers in the classical Makassarese poetry and the lack of explicit narrative interpretation. The study concludes that for cultural da’wah to achieve its transformative potential, "intersemiotic translation" is required to bridge the gap between traditional symbolism and contemporary public understanding.

Abstract

General Background: Marriage harmony requires effective interpersonal communication, particularly amid increasing household conflicts in urban communities. Specific Background: The Religious Affairs Office (KUA) in Biringkanaya Makassar provides marriage consultation services where registrars (penghulu) act as mediators through structured communication. Knowledge Gap: Studies have rarely examined the specific interpersonal communication strategies of penghulu in practical consultation contexts. Aims: This study analyzes communication stages, forms, supporting factors, and obstacles in marriage consultation. Results: Findings show a staged process consisting of building trust, exploring problems, clarifying and reflecting issues, and facilitating solutions and commitments. Communication forms include persuasive verbal, empathetic nonverbal, and religious symbolic communication. Supporting factors involve registrar credibility, institutional legitimacy, and alignment with religious values, while obstacles include emotional instability, cultural and educational differences, and limited time. Novelty: The integration of empathetic communication with religious values emerges as a key strategy to foster openness and resolve domestic conflicts. Implications: The study contributes to interpersonal communication theory and provides practical guidance for improving marriage consultation services in religious institutions. Highlights• Structured stages guide consultation toward shared solutions• Combined communication forms address emotional and cognitive aspects• Value-based interaction supports conflict resolution KeywordsInterpersonal Communication; Communication Strategy; Marriage Consultation; Religious Institutions; KUA

Abstract

Penggunaan tungku biomassa tipe heat exchanger dalam proses pengeringan hasil pertanian merupakan solusi yang efisien dan ramah lingkungan untuk menggantikan metode pengeringan konvensional yang bergantung pada cuaca. Biomassa sebagai sumber energi terbarukan seperti sekam padi, tongkol jagung, dan limbah kayu memiliki potensi besar sebagai bahan bakar alternatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang serta mengevaluasi kinerja tungku biomassa tipe heat exchanger yang digunakan pada sistem pengering hasil pertanian. Metode penelitian meliputi tahap perancangan alat, perakitan sistem, serta pengujian kinerja dengan menganalisis karakteristik perpindahan panas dan suhu udara pengering yang dihasilkan. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa tungku mampu menghasilkan suhu udara pengering pada rentang 40–80°C yang sesuai untuk proses pengeringan berbagai komoditas pertanian. Penggunaan bahan bakar biomassa menunjukkan karakteristik pembakaran yang berbeda, di mana sekam padi terbakar cepat namun kurang stabil, tongkol jagung menghasilkan pembakaran yang lebih stabil dengan kadar abu sekitar 1–2%, sedangkan limbah kayu memberikan pembakaran paling stabil dengan kandungan abu rendah sekitar 0,2–1%. Selain itu, sistem heat exchanger mampu memisahkan gas pembakaran dari udara pengering sehingga mencegah kontaminasi asap pada produk. Sistem ini juga mampu mempercepat proses pengeringan hingga sekitar 50% dibandingkan metode pengeringan alami. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tungku biomassa tipe heat exchanger memiliki kinerja yang efektif dan berpotensi diterapkan sebagai teknologi pengering hasil pertanian yang hemat energi, ramah lingkungan, dan mendukung pemanfaatan limbah biomassa lokal.

Abstract

Empty palm oil bunches (EPOB) are one of the most abundant solid wastes generated from the palm oil industry, accounting for approximately 30–35% of fresh fruit bunch weight. Despite their availability, their utilization remains suboptimal, particularly as a renewable energy source. This study aims to design, fabricate, and evaluate the performance of an EPOB shredder intended to support co-firing applications in cement plants and coal-fired power plants. The shredder was designed to produce particle sizes of 8–12 cm with an initial target capacity of ±100 kg/h. The research was conducted at the Energy Laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Department, Politeknik Negeri Ujung Pandang, over a four-month period. Experimental testing was performed at three rotational speeds, namely 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm, and 2500 rpm, to determine the optimal operating condition. The results show that the highest performance was achieved at 2500 rpm, producing a maximum capacity of 381.05 kg/h. Furthermore, the processed EPOB exhibited a calorific value of 4173.54 Cal/kg and a moisture content of 9.4%, indicating its suitability as an alternative fuel for co-firing systems. Although higher rotational speeds increased fuel consumption, the overall performance demonstrated a significant improvement in productivity and fuel quality. The developed shredder effectively enhances the physical characteristics of EPOB, enabling its utilization as a sustainable biomass fuel. This study contributes to waste management strategies and supports the transition toward renewable energy in industrial applications.

Abstract

Kecamatan Maros Baru merupakan kawasan minapolitan dengan potensi besar dalam pengembangan sektor perikanan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi komoditas potensial serta menganalisis kesesuaian lahan tambak di wilayah tersebut. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan Location Quotient (LQ), Shift Share (SS), Tipologi Klassen, serta analisis spasial berbasis Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG). Data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara, dan data sekunder dari Badan Pusat Statistik Kabupaten Maros tahun 2018–2022. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ditemukan sektor unggulan yang memenuhi kriteria simultan (LQ > 1 dan SS > 0), namun terdapat komoditas potensial yang meliputi ikan bandeng, udang windu, udang vaname, dan ikan nila dengan kecenderungan pertumbuhan positif, sedangkan rumput laut tergolong komoditas tertinggal secara ekonomi. Analisis kesesuaian lahan menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar tambak berada pada kelas S1 (sangat sesuai) seluas 1.459 ha dan S2 (cukup sesuai) seluas 346 ha, yang mencerminkan potensi biofisik yang tinggi. Namun, produksi perikanan relatif stagnan sehingga menunjukkan pemanfaatan lahan yang belum optimal. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, ikan bandeng dan udang diprioritaskan sebagai komoditas pengembangan utama karena memiliki pertumbuhan relatif positif dan nilai ekonomis tinggi, sedangkan rumput laut memiliki potensi pengembangan secara biofisik namun terbatas dari sisi ekonomi sehingga direkomendasikan untuk dikembangkan secara selektif.
