Abstract

This study aims to analyze the standardization of Islamic healthcare services by exploring the implications and challenges faced in various countries. The research approach used is qualitative, with data collection methods through literature studies, policy document analysis, and in-depth interviews with experts and practitioners of Islamic healthcare services to obtain comprehensive data. Thematic analysis methods are applied to identify key themes such as the integration of Islamic principles, the standardization process, and obstacles that arise in its implementation. The research findings show that several countries have adopted Islamic healthcare standards such as halal certification for medical products and sharia-compliant medical procedures even though there is no universal standard that is accepted globally. Key challenges include regulatory inconsistencies, limited human resources, infrastructure gaps, and cultural variations in the application of Islamic values ​​in the healthcare environment. Opportunities for international collaboration are a promising path to developing more inclusive and globally recognized standards. Strengthening the role of certification bodies and religious authorities is also key in supporting the adoption of Islamic healthcare standards. This study emphasizes the need for a more comprehensive approach to ensure that Islamic healthcare services are aligned with global quality standards, while respecting religious and cultural values.

Abstract

Agile project management has gained wide adoption for managing complex, dynamic projects, yet its success depends on various enabling factors. Despite its popularity, organizations frequently encounter challenges in implementing Agile practices successfully. This study systematically reviews existing literature to identify and synthesize the critical success factors (CSFs) that facilitate Agile project effectiveness, while simultaneously examining the prevalent obstacles organizations face during Agile adoption. Results indicate that Agile project success is largely facilitated by executive support, effective teamwork, active customer involvement, clear communication, and disciplined Agile execution. Conversely, significant barriers identified include organizational resistance, inadequate training, limited understanding of Agile principles, and coordination complexities in scaled or hybrid implementations. Successful Agile adoption necessitates balancing these enabling factors while proactively addressing prevalent challenges through robust leadership, comprehensive training, and tailored implementation strategies. Future research should explore longitudinal impacts, detailed failure analyses, and implications of emerging technologies on Agile effectiveness.

Abstract

The development of the maritime defense industry ecosystem is a strategic step in increasing national defense independence. This research aims to optimize the use of local resources in the maritime defense industry to reduce dependence on imports and increase the competitiveness of the domestic industry. The methods used include descriptive-qualitative analysis with a literature study approach, interviews with stakeholders, and case studies on the application of local technologies and materials in the maritime defense industry. The results of the study show that local resources, natural fiber-based composite materials, domestically produced high-strength steel, as well as experts in the field of maritime engineering, have great potential in supporting the defense industrial ecosystem. However, the challenges of limited technology, infrastructure and regulations have not fully supported it, so it is still an obstacle. In conclusion, the optimization of local resources can be carried out through synergy between the government, industry, and research institutions in technology development, human resource capacity building, and policies that support innovation and investment. The strategic implications of the research on defense policy are that the maritime defense industry based on local resources is a solution in maintaining national maritime sovereignty and security.

Abstract

This study analyzes the strategy of the Nasdem Party in responding to the dominance of major parties in the 2024 election in Tuban Regency. The research background highlights the complexity of local political competition, which is dominated by religion-based parties, as well as the crucial role of community leaders and local identity in shaping voter preferences. This study aims to identify the political strategies employed by the Nasdem Party and to reveal the challenges faced in enhancing electability and vote acquisition. A descriptive qualitative method is utilized, incorporating a data triangulation approach that includes in-depth interviews, document studies, and direct observations of political activities in the field. The findings indicate that the Nasdem Party adopts a strategy based on recruiting high-quality cadres, internal consolidation, and political marketing through the 4P approach (product, price, place, promotion), tailored to the socio-cultural characteristics of Tuban’s society. The primary challenges encountered include the dominance of major parties such as PKB and Golkar, shifts in voter preferences due to local and national issues, and competition among regional political figures. Although there has been an increase in electability at the regency DPRD level, the results have not yet met the targets for the provincial DPRD and national DPR-RI levels. In conclusion, the strategies implemented by the Nasdem Party have led to several positive achievements but still require further evaluation and refinement to address greater challenges in the future. This study provides practical contributions to the development of political strategies and offers recommendations for political parties in navigating elections, particularly in regions with complex political dynamics such as Tuban Regency.

Abstract

Single Cell Protein (SCP) is a biotechnological product designed to enhance biomass or extract proteins and lipids from a given material. One of the methods to utilize single-cell protein is bioencapsulation. Bioencapsulation is a nutrient enrichment technique that involves adding specific substances to natural feed to improve its quality and quantity, thus enhancing its overall nutritional value. The single-cell protein used in this study is Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris), while the bioencapsulation material or observed subject is Artemia salina (A. salina). This study aims to analyze the nutritional content based on the retention or absorption capacity of A. salina using the SCP bioencapsulation method from C. vulgaris and to determine the optimal SCP dosage for bioencapsulation in A. salina. The tested dosages in this study were 100 mg/L, 200 mg/L, 300 mg/L, and 0 mg/L (without SCP administration as a control). The results showed that the SCP retention value in A. salina was significantly different (P<0.05) across the tested dosage treatments. The highest retention value was observed at a dosage of 300 mg/L, with the highest retention of soluble protein and fat recorded at 85.65% and 0.27%, respectively. However, the overall results indicate that as the administered SCP dosage increases, the retention or absorption of SCP nutrients in A. salina also increases.

Abstract

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes in various sectors, including public services. The implementation of AI in the government sector has the potential to increase efficiency, transparency, and speed of services to the public. However, the application of AI also raises various ethical challenges, such as personal data protection, potential algorithmic bias, and accountability in decision-making. This study aims to analyze the role of artificial intelligence in advancing public services and identify ethical opportunities and challenges that arise in the implementation process. The research method used is a qualitative approach, which involves reviewing various sources, such as previous research results, academic studies, and relevant policy documents. The collected data was analyzed systematically to identify key patterns and ethical implications related to the application of AI in the public sector. The results of the study show that AI has the potential to increase the efficiency of public services, but challenges related to privacy, transparency, and accountability are still major obstacles. The readiness of infrastructure and human resources are key factors in implementing AI in government bureaucracy. Therefore, strict regulations, cross-sector collaboration, and ongoing supervision are needed to ensure the ethical and equitable implementation of AI.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the opportunities and barriers in integrating sharia principles into Islamic hospital management. Such integration is not only important in clinical aspects, but also at managerial levels such as finance, human resources, strategic decision-making, and governance. This study analyzed 40 scientific articles published between 2013 and 2024 using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, collected through the Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases. Data analysis was carried out with the help of NVivo software to identify key themes that emerged consistently in the literature. The results showed that integration opportunities arise from the increasing awareness of the Muslim community, the need for service differentiation, and the compatibility of sharia values ​​with modern management principles. Significant barriers remain, such as the lack of human resources who understand sharia management, the absence of international standard standards, and dualism of regulations between medical and sharia. This study also presents case studies and provides practical recommendations for hospital managers, academics, and policy makers in strengthening the implementation of sharia-based management systematically and sustainably.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of work-life balance and job satisfaction on employee performance at the Data and Information Center (Pusdatin) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek). Specifically, the study investigates: (1) the individual impact of work-life balance on employee performance, (2) the individual impact of job satisfaction on employee performance, and (3) the combined impact of work-life balance and job satisfaction on employee performance. Utilizing a quantitative method, the research draws on both primary and secondary data collected from a population of 70 administrative staff members. Data were gathered through questionnaires and observations, employing a saturated sampling technique. Validity and reliability tests confirmed that all items were valid and reliable, with the data also meeting assumptions of normality and the absence of multicollinearity. The findings reveal that work-life balance alone does not significantly affect employee performance, whereas job satisfaction has a significant individual effect. However, when combined, work-life balance and job satisfaction exert a significant and positive influence on employee performance.
