Abstract

Palm oil is a key global commodity, accounting for nearly 60% of the global vegetable oil trade. However, it faces significant criticism from Europe and the US due to issues such as deforestation, illegal resettlement, forest burning, wildlife endangerment, and human rights violations. Recently, the Covid-19 pandemic posed additional challenges, disrupting production through labor restrictions. This study explores Malaysia’s responses to these challenges, including those posed by the pandemic. Employing a qualitative exploratory design, data were gathered through document analysis and semi-structured interviews, analyzed using inductive thematic analysis with Atlas.ti 8 software. The findings highlight Malaysia's strategies, such as the Sustainable Palm Oil Manifesto, the establishment of the Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries, campaigns against anti-palm oil propaganda, and the creation of palm oil-related institutions, alongside measures to address the Covid-19 crisis. Malaysia’s responses emphasize sustainable agricultural practices aligned with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil principles while adapting to pandemic-related disruptions. These efforts demonstrate the nation’s commitment to balancing economic priorities with sustainability and resilience in the face of global challenges.

Abstract

This research examines the influence of the South China Sea (SCS) conflict on Indonesia's resilience and security. Indonesia began to be drawn into the SCS conflict in 2010, after China claimed Indonesia's EEZ in the northern region, specifically the Natuna Islands. China's unilateral claims continued and peaked in 2016 when Chinese fishing vessels carried out illegal fishing activities in Natuna waters. Until now, Chinese ships still often enter Indonesia's borders. China's assertive behavior is considered an action that violates Indonesia's national sovereignty, therefore Indonesia is trying to maintain and secure its sovereignty and national interests in the Natuna Islands even though it is not part of the countries in dispute. By using qualitative research methods that combine the strengths of primary and secondary data, the findings show that if left unchecked, SCS conflicts could threaten Indonesia's resilience, security and sovereignty. Under Joko Widodo's government, Indonesia responded to the SCS conflict through diplomatic efforts and military alertness.

Abstract

Effective teaching requires connecting with students and addressing their emotional needs. This study examines the relationships among academic performance, effort, self-efficacy, enjoyment, hopelessness, and teachers' affective support in mathematics education. Using PLS-SEM with WarpPLS 7.0, data from 261 Bongabon Senior High School learners were analyzed. Results show that lower-performing students may exert more effort to improve, as academic performance negatively influences effort. Teachers' affective support enhances self-efficacy and belonging but negatively impacts performance. Enjoyment significantly influences effort, self-efficacy, and hopelessness but not performance. Belonging improves self-efficacy and enjoyment but does not affect hopelessness. Findings highlight emotional support's role in fostering self-efficacy and enjoyment, recommending further exploration of mediators and strategies to enhance student achievement.

Abstract

Achieving the criteria of a SAMARA family (Sakinah, Mawaddah, Rahmah) in a household involves cultivating an environment of peace, love, and compassion within the family. Islamic Sharia provides a divine framework for family life, emphasizing the importance of faith, mutual respect, and fulfilling the duties and rights of each family member. The pursuit of a SAMARA family begins with mutual understanding, trust, and support between husband and wife, underpinned by a shared commitment to religious values and the application of these principles in daily life. This study explores the essential components of a SAMARA family, which include emotional harmony (Sakinah), love and affection (Mawaddah), and compassion (Rahmah), all of which contribute to a balanced and sustainable marital relationship. By adhering to these principles, families can overcome challenges and create a nurturing environment that fosters both individual and collective well-being. The goal of this study is to outline the steps and strategies necessary to build a SAMARA family, ensuring the stability and prosperity of the household, in line with Islamic teachings.

Abstract

This article explores the demographic and economic factors influencing Uzbekistan's pension system, including economic employment, retirement age, life expectancy, and family-related trends such as marriage, divorce, and birth rates. It also considers the cultural traditions and mentality of the Uzbek population, which significantly impact the system's development. Adopting a qualitative approach, the study analyzes the existing methodology for calculating old-age pensions and its alignment with demographic and socio-economic realities. The findings highlight that demographic characteristics and economic conditions, such as employment rates and population structure, contribute to disparities in pension provision. Additionally, cultural norms and traditions play a role in shaping public expectations of the pension system. The article identifies shortcomings in the current methodology for pension calculation, particularly in addressing socio-economic justice. Proposals are made to enhance fairness, recognize unpaid work, and improve transparency in the pension system. The study underscores the need for reforms to align Uzbekistan's pension system with the socio-economic and demographic context, ensuring greater equity and sustainability.

Abstract

The agricultural sector plays a crucial role in meeting societal needs but is undergoing significant transitions. Farmers are increasingly shifting from cultivating food crops, such as rice and vegetables, to industrial crops like oil palm. This shift is driven by economic factors, with farmers perceiving industrial crops as more lucrative due to their higher market value. The transition also reflects broader social changes, as described by Gillin and Gillin's concept of social change, where variations in material culture and ideology influence community lifestyles. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores the socio-economic drivers of this phenomenon and its implications. Findings suggest that dissatisfaction with the economic value of traditional crops and increased awareness of new agricultural opportunities, facilitated by innovation and information access, are key factors. This trend aligns with Etzioni Halevy's linear societal development patterns, highlighting the interplay between economic incentives and social evolution. Understanding these dynamics is essential for managing agricultural transitions to ensure sustainable practices, food security, and socio-economic stability.

Early marriage is rampant in society. The lack of understanding and knowledge about this is the reason the author wants to raise and provide explanations to the community. Quoting from Indonesian Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, which is contained in article 7 paragraph 1, it is stated that marriage is permitted if the prospective groom has reached the age of 19 (nineteen) years and the prospective bride has reached the age of 16 (sixteen) years. Amendments to the Law have been outlined in Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 16 of 2019. The provision of the ideal age limit for marriage is stated in Article 7, which confirms that marriage is only permitted if the man and woman have reached the age of 19 (nineteen) years. Early marriage is problematic, both from the perspective of the Compilation of Islamic Law and the Marriage Law. Regarding the age limit of marriage, in Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974 which was later revised and became Marriage Law Number 16 of 2019. Based on this, the author will discuss the Sociological Impact for underage people who marry prematurely and the Legal Consequences of Underage Marriage According to Civil Law in Indonesia.
