Abstract

This research investigates the factors influencing the loyalty of Sharia e-money users in Makassar City, Indonesia, amidst the rapid development of digital payment systems, including sharia-based e-money. The study emphasizes the importance of Trust and Interest in driving user loyalty. A quantitative approach with a causal-associative design was adopted, involving 100 randomly selected respondents from a population of 1.5 million. Data were collected through a closed questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with SmartPLS. The results revealed that both Trust (β = 0.199; p = 0.010) and Interest (β = 0.670; p < 0.001) significantly influenced loyalty, with Interest emerging as the dominant factor. The research model accounted for 69.5% of the variation in loyalty (R² = 0.695), and the instrument met the required validity and reliability criteria. The study concludes that boosting Interest through effective promotion, innovative services, and a strong Sharia image is more influential in fostering loyalty compared to solely focusing on Trust, though both factors remain crucial. This research contributes valuable insights to Sharia e-money service providers and regulators, offering strategic guidance for the development of policies aimed at enhancing user loyalty. Furthermore, it enriches the Sharia digital finance literature, particularly in the context of Makassar, which presents unique market characteristics.

Abstract

This text examines consumer safety in sale and buy transactions through the lenses of financial justice and Sharia ethics, with precise interest in virtual marketplaces. Despite the existence of complete legal frameworks, customer protection law remains in large part procedural and reactive, failing to address structural electricity imbalance, information asymmetry, and unfair preferred contracts that systematically disadvantage clients. Using a socio-criminal studies layout, this observation integrates normative felony evaluation with maqāṣid al-sharīʿah as a great justice benchmark. The findings screen that conventional patron protection mechanisms often legitimize unequal transactions via prioritizing formal consent and contractual validity over fairness outcomes. digital systems in addition exacerbate customer vulnerability through centralizing control over information disclosure and dispute resolution. This newsletter proposes an integrative client protection model that mixes legal enforceability with Sharia-based totally ethical accountability, repositioning purchaser protection law as a preventive and justice-orientated regulatory framework. The take a look at contributes to patron law scholarship by way of demonstrating that Sharia ethics can be characterized as a normative evaluative framework that complements the legitimacy and effectiveness of client protection regulation in digital markets.

Abstract

Electoral logistics represent one of the most risk-prone components of election administration, particularly in large and decentralized democracies. This study aims to examine how electoral logistics were managed under conditions of uncertainty in Indonesia’s 2024 Simultaneous Election, with a specific focus on risk management, coordination, and institutional learning. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study in Jambi City. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with election officials and stakeholders, field observations of logistics distribution, and analysis of electoral regulations and official documents. The findings indicate that although logistics management formally complied with national regulations, risk anticipation remained limited, coordination mechanisms were largely reactive, and institutional learning was weak. Logistical disruptions were addressed through ad hoc solutions rather than systematic risk mitigation strategies. This study concludes that strengthening electoral logistics requires a shift from procedural compliance toward adaptive risk governance and structured learning mechanisms to enhance electoral integrity and administrative resilience.

Abstract

Sharia Savings and Financing Cooperatives (KSPPS) constitute an essential component of Indonesia’s Islamic microfinance sector, providing Sharia-compliant financial services to micro and small economic actors. However, the regulatory framework governing KSPPS remains fragmented and predominantly administrative, offering limited financial supervision and insufficient protection for members’ funds. This regulatory condition creates structural disparities between KSPPS and other Sharia financial institutions and raises concerns regarding institutional stability and public trust. This study examines the legal position of KSPPS within Indonesia’s national legal framework and proposes a regulatory reconstruction aimed at integrating supervision and deposit guarantee mechanisms. Using a qualitative juridical-normative approach combined with institutional analysis and public policy evaluation, the research analyzes statutory regulations, ministerial policies, DSN-MUI fatwas, and existing supervisory practices. Comparative analysis with Islamic banking supervision is employed to identify regulatory gaps and best practices. The findings reveal that KSPPS are legally positioned as general cooperatives, resulting in fragmented oversight between administrative authorities and internal Sharia supervisory bodies that lack prudential and enforcement authority. Furthermore, the absence of a Sharia-based deposit guarantee scheme exposes members to financial risk and contradicts the Sharia objective of wealth protection (ḥifẓ al-māl). To address these challenges, the study proposes an integrated regulatory model that repositions KSPPS as Sharia microfinance institutions subject to risk-based, Sharia-compliant supervision and supported by a Sharia-based deposit guarantee scheme grounded in the principles of tabarru’ and ta‘āwun. This research contributes to Islamic financial regulation scholarship by offering a coherent normative and institutional framework that strengthens legal certainty, consumer protection, and the sustainability of Sharia cooperative finance.

Abstract

Concrete is a widely used construction material whose mechanical performance is strongly influenced by the properties of its constituent materials, particularly coarse aggregates. This study investigates the comparative effect of coarse aggregates sourced from Merak and Batu Gadur on the compressive strength of normal strength concrete. An experimental laboratory-based method was employed using concrete cube specimens measuring 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm. Three mixture variations were prepared: concrete with 100% Merak coarse aggregate, concrete with 50% Merak and 50% Batu Gadur coarse aggregate, and concrete with 100% Batu Gadur coarse aggregate. All specimens were cured and tested for compressive strength at 7 and 28 days. The results indicate that concrete containing 100% Merak aggregate exhibited stable and continuous strength development, while the 50% substitution mixture maintained relatively consistent compressive strength across curing ages. In contrast, concrete produced with 100% Batu Gadur aggregate achieved high early-age strength but showed a significant reduction at 28 days. These findings demonstrate that Batu Gadur aggregate can be utilized as a partial replacement for Merak aggregate at proportions not exceeding 50% without compromising concrete performance. This study supports the use of local aggregates to enhance sustainability in construction practices.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the impact of early marriage on the increasing number of stunting cases in Jepara Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques in this study include interviews, observations, and documentation. The data obtained were then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s data analysis techniques, which consist of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that the practice of early marriage in Jepara remains high. Early marriage is caused by premarital pregnancy, traditions, low economic status, and low levels of education. Stunting cases in Jepara are also relatively high despite showing a decline. In 2024, stunting cases in Jepara reached 2,731. The factors contributing to stunting in Jepara include inadequate nutrition for pregnant women and toddlers, limited parental knowledge regarding nutrition and parenting, poor sanitation, low economic conditions, and early marriage. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that the case of early marriage and stunting in Jepara are quite high. Based on the analysis, it found that early marriage has significant influence toward the growth of stunting in Jepara. This study is expected to give contribution in preventing early marriage and stunting.
