Abstract

Background: Narcotics-related crimes continue to be a significant issue worldwide, with prison sentences often viewed as a primary deterrent. However, there is limited empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of incarceration in reducing the incidence of narcotics crimes. The question remains whether prison sentences lead to long-term reductions in drug-related offenses or merely function as a short-term punitive measure without addressing underlying issues such as addiction and socio-economic factors. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of prison sentences in preventing narcotics crimes, focusing on recidivism rates and rehabilitation outcomes for offenders. The research investigates whether incarceration contributes to long-term crime prevention or if alternative approaches, such as rehabilitation programs, offer more sustainable results. Method: A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data analysis of recidivism rates from convicted drug offenders and qualitative interviews with legal professionals, offenders, and rehabilitation experts. The data collected spans a five-year period and includes case studies from various correctional facilities. Results: The findings indicate that while prison sentences temporarily reduce narcotics crime, they are less effective in preventing recidivism. Rehabilitation programs integrated into the prison system significantly contributed to reducing reoffending rates, particularly when combined with post-release support. Conclusion: Prison sentences alone are insufficient in preventing narcotics crimes. A more comprehensive approach, including rehabilitation and social reintegration efforts, is necessary for long-term success in reducing narcotics-related offenses.

Abstract

Local culture significantly influences customary practices within Muslim societies, shaping unique expressions of Islamic teachings across diverse regions. In Central Java, Indonesia, traditional practices are deeply intertwined with Islamic values, creating a distinctive cultural-religious identity. While these practices enrich local traditions, they also raise questions about the balance between cultural preservation and religious orthodoxy. This study aims to explore the influence of local culture on customary practices in Central Java’s Muslim communities, examining how cultural elements align with or diverge from Islamic principles. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews with community leaders, religious scholars, and practitioners of traditional customs in three rural areas. Observational data and document analysis of local texts and records supplemented the interviews, offering a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between culture and religion. The findings reveal that local culture plays a pivotal role in shaping religious practices, particularly in rites of passage, social ceremonies, and communal worship. These findings highlight the dynamic relationship between religion and culture, emphasizing adaptation and negotiation. The study concludes that cultural sensitivity and context-specific approaches are essential for understanding and preserving the diversity of Islamic expressions.

Abstract

Tropical Asia is home to a rich diversity of species and ecosystems, yet it faces significant threats from habitat loss, climate change, and human activities. Identifying biodiversity hotspots in this region is crucial for prioritizing conservation efforts and ensuring the protection of unique species and habitats. This research aims to evaluate biodiversity hotspots in tropical Asia and establish conservation priorities based on ecological significance and vulnerability. The study seeks to provide actionable recommendations for policymakers and conservationists to enhance biodiversity preservation in these critical areas. A spatial analysis was conducted using geographic information systems (GIS) to map biodiversity hotspots across tropical Asia. Data from various sources, including species distribution records and habitat assessments, were analyzed to identify regions with high biodiversity and significant conservation needs. Stakeholder interviews were also conducted to gather insights on local conservation challenges. The findings revealed several key biodiversity hotspots, including the Indo-Burma region and the Sundaland region, which are critically endangered due to deforestation and habitat fragmentation. The analysis indicated that targeted conservation efforts in these areas could significantly enhance species protection and ecosystem resilience. This study concludes that prioritizing conservation actions in identified biodiversity hotspots is essential for mitigating biodiversity loss in tropical Asia. Collaborative efforts among governments, NGOs, and local communities are vital to developing effective conservation strategies that address both ecological and socio-economic challenges.

Abstract

Chili farming in arid regions of East Java faces persistent challenges related to water scarcity, inefficient irrigation practices, and inconsistent nutrient managment, which negatively affect crop productivity and farmers’ livelihoods. Traditional irrigation methods often result in excessive water use and uneven fertilizer distribution, limiting plant growth and increasing production costs. Recent advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technology offer promising solutions for precision agriculture by enabling automated, data-driven irrigation and fertigation systems tailored to specific crop and environmental conditions. This study aims to develop and evaluate an IoT-based automated drip irrigation and fertigation system designed for chili farming in arid areas of East Java. The system is intended to optimize water and nutrient usage while improving crop growth and resource efficiency. The research adopts a research and development (R&D) approach combined with experimental field testing. The system integrates soil moisture sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, nutrient solution controllers, and an IoT microcontroller connected to a cloud-based monitoring platform. The system was tested in selected chili farms over one growing season, with performance evaluated based on water consumption, fertilizer efficiency, plant growth indicators, and yield outcomes. The results indicate that the IoT-based system reduced water usage by approximately 30% and fertilizer consumption by 25% compared to conventional irrigation methods. Chili plants managed under the automated system showed more uniform growth, improved plant health, and a yield increase of 20%. Farmers also reported improved ease of irrigation management and real-time monitoring capabilities. The study concludes that IoT-based automated drip irrigation and fertigation systems are effective in enhancing water efficiency, nutrient management, and chili crop productivity in arid regions. The system demonstrates strong potential for supporting sustainable agriculture and climate-resilient farming practices in East Java.
