Abstract

Inflation is one of the macroeconomic symptoms associated with a decline in the exchange rate (money). Inflation has always been a heated topic of discussion in various economic circles. This indicates that the effects of the economic crisis depend on the nature of each group's income and fortune. The condition is severe if the income is stable or rising but less than the inflation rate. Their material well-being improves if their income grows faster than the inflation rate. This study examines the impact of inflation and the rupiah exchange rate on Islamic banking Mudharabah savings. The data utilized are time series data from the Sharia Banking Statistics Report and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) published by Bank Indonesia. This research method falls under the category of library research, namely searching for research data or information by reading scientific journals, reference books, published financial statements, and other library-accessible support materials for this paper. The findings of this study indicate that the variables Inflation and Exchange Rate have a significant effect on Mudharabah Savings simultaneously.

Abstract

Solok rice is an important agricultural commodity that contributes significantly to the economic prosperity of the West Sumatra region. As indigenous knowledge from West Sumatra, the development and preservation of Solok rice can stimulate a nationwide increase in rice production. The cumulative effects of the entire sequence of activities comprising Solok rice production will impact environmental quality due to increased output. Therefore, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)-based environmental impact assessment of Solok rice production is necessary. The analysis results indicate that the total greenhouse gas emissions from Solok rice production equal 1.94 kg CO2eq per kilogram of rice. The subsequent potential effects include acidification at a rate of 0.06 kilograms of SO2-equivalent per kilogram of rice and eutrophication at a rate of kilograms of PO43-equivalent per kilogram of rice. The calculation of net energy yielded a Net Energy Value (NEV) of 18.36 GJ and a Net Energy Ratio (NER) greater than 1. To mitigate emission values in the land and environment, the current system improvement emphasizes fertilizer consumption, increasing the use of organic materials, and instituting production waste recycling.

Abstract

During the coffee harvest season, coffee skins are generated as a byproduct of the coffee processing procedure. The quantity of coffee skin generated is substantial, typically 40% to 50%. Coffee skins are commonly subjected to a drying process and afterward provided to goats as a supplementary feed, typically without undergoing any specific treatment. The cellulose concentration of dried coffee skin is significantly elevated, which can lead to a decrease in its digestion. By employing technological advancements such as fermentation, it is possible to reduce the cellulose content or crude fiber present in coffee skins. This fiber reduction enhances the coffee skin's digestibility and shelf life. The utilization of fermented coffee skin as a concentrated feed source for goats has been observed. Based on scholarly sources, it has been suggested that goats require approximately 10% of their body weight in daily forage feed. Additionally, it is deemed essential to supplement their diet with concentrate feed, ideally amounting to 1% of their body weight, to offer additional nourishment. To sustain a population of 25-50 goats, each weighing an average of 25 kg, farmers are required to supply a daily feed quantity ranging from 75-125 kg. Therefore, group members must possess imperative for group members to possess an adequate provision of feed, including grass and concentrates, to consistently fulfill goats' dietary requirements the group to possess an adequate provision of feed, including both grass and concentrates, to fulfill the dietary requirements of goats consistently. One potential approach to addressing the challenges partners encounter is imparting knowledge, enhancing skills, and introducing suitable technology for by partners is imparting knowledge, enhancing skills, and introducing suitable technology to the strategic provision of goat animal feed. This can be achieved by fermenting coffee skins and producing silage, of fermenting coffee skins and producing silage, augmenting the feed's quantity and quality of the feed while extending its storage duration. The utilization of coffee skin waste, which is produced during coffee bean processing, as a viable feed option for goats is a promising solution. This approach eliminates the practice of stockpiling coffee skin waste beneath coffee trees, eliminates the practice of stockpiling coffee skin waste beneath coffee trees, and eliminates the practice of stockpiling coffee skin waste beneath coffee trees but also mitigates environmental pollution.
