Otoritas Mufti Kerajaan Kubu: Subyektifitas, Kontestasi, dan Produksi Makna al-Qur’an

This paper discusses questioning the meanings based on the Quran. The main problem is how the meaning is produced in the contemporary context while still paying attention to the text of the Koran which came down almost 14 centuries ago. In this context, the researcher then uses the sociology of knowledge approach in analyzing while to ensure the research object is analyzed using religious anthropology.

That the meaning of the Koran is formed by social dimensions. With the conclusion that reading Ismail Mundu's interpretation in his society shows how the conditions of reality he faces. While the contestation of meaning between fiqh thinking and royal power which has the genealogy of Alawiyyin places its subjective role which is dominated by Sufistic-traditional ideas that it has acquired in social dialectical spaces

Narrative Policy Analysis: Utilization of Dimethyl Ether as an LPG Mixed Fuel (Case Study in Indonesia)

Dimethyl Ether (DME) utilization as an LPG fuel mix policy has become a polemic among several groups. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of narrative constructed by Government, analyze the counter narrative, and formulate a strategy to strengthen the Government narrative regarding the use of DME as an LPG mixed fuel. This research uses the Narrative Policy Analysis (NPA) method. The counter narrative is compared with Government narrative to obtain a meta narrative. The level of analysis in this research is meso. The conclusions from this research are: 1) Indonesia Government continues to use DME as a mixed fuel for LPG; 2) The obstacles of policy narrative constructed by the Indonesia Government are differences viewpoints regarding the availability and use of coal as raw material for DME and differences in belief system regarding greenhouse gas emissions. The recommended strategy to strengthen the Government’s policy narrative are: 1) Comprehensive discussion by involving groups that oppose the narrative, 2) present the result of the feasibility study on greenhouse gas emmision resulting fro DME production process from coal which has been carried out by the Government by providing socialization regarding tax policy carbon as well as technical implementation of carbon economic value and controlling greenhouse gas emmision

Variasi Jenis Pahat Terhadap Tingkat Kekerasan Permukaan Baja ST. 41 Pada Proses Bubut CNC HJ-28

CNC mempunyai ketelitian yang tinggi, ketepatan dimensi, waktu produksi yang lebih efektif, dan produktivitas tinggi. Hasil pengerjaan mesin CNC bergantung pada parameter permesinan, seperti cutting speed, federate, depth of cut, material benda, pendinginan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mencari variasi pahat agar diketahui pahat yang baik selama proses permesinan CNC bubut sehingga mendapatkan setting yang sesuai sehingga menghasilkan kualitas yang baik pada kekasaran permukaan dan kekerasan permukaan. Bahan yang digunakan adalah Baja ST.41, alat yang digunakan adalah mesin bubut CNC HJ-28  dengan variasi jenis pahat insert, HSS bohler, karbida, kemudian  Baja ST.41 diproses dengan mesin bubut CNC dengan kecepatan putar spindle (spindle speed) tetap 500 rpm dan gerak pemakanan pahat tetap 50 mm/menit dengan kedalaman 2 mm, kemudian  melakukan uji kekasaran permukaan dan kekerasan. Nilai kekasaran pada pahat insert =1,33 µm, pahat HSS bohler = 1,14 µm, dan pahat karbida = 1,84 µm, pengujian kekasaran pemukaan hasil yang paling halus yaitu pahat HSS bohler = 1,14 µm sedangkan yang paling kasar yaitu pahat karbida = 1,84 µm. Nilai kekerasan untuk pahat insert  = 144 kg/mm², pahat HSS bohler = 140,33 kg/mm², dan pahat karbida = 140,33 kg/mm². Pengujian kekerasan hasil yang paling keras yaitu pahat insert = 144 kg/mm²

ANALISIS BISNIS DAN VALUASI PENGEMBANGAN BRANCHLESS BANKING

Analisis bisnis dan valuasi pengembangan branchless banking bertujuan menganalisis layak atau tidaknya bisnis agent branchless banking dijalankan oleh bank serta besarnya switching cost transformasi layanan kantor konvensional ke layanan agent branchless banking. Metode pendekatan kuantitatif, hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa pengembangan bisnis branchless banking, dengan alat analisis break even point, payback period dan discounted cashflow factor, menunjukkan bisnis branchless banking feasible dan workable dijalankan oleh bank penyelenggara, karena sebelum 2 (dua) tahun sudah memberikan benefit dan hasil analisis berdasarkan tipologi switching cost agent branchless banking, biaya transaksi hanya sebesar 40% dari total biaya transaksi di kantor konvensional, lebih efisien dibandingkan biaya transaksi di kantor konvensional. Layanan agent branchless banking dapat dijadikan solusi alternatif atas keterbatasan jangkauan layanan kantor konvensional bank pada wilayah terpencil dan pedesaan, sementara itu layanan operator telekomunikasi sudah dapat menjangkau wilayah tersebut, sehingga kehadiran agent branchless banking yang berbasis internet ini, dapat membantu masyarakat dalam mengakses layanan bank. Layanan branchless banking dapat juga dijadikan sebagai terobosan inovasi untuk melayani lapisan masyarakat non-bankable dan underserve

Physical activity and subjective well-being in old age in Indonesia

Old age is characterized by many problems including physical health, psychological health, and overall well-being problems. Most studies indicate a decline in subjective well-being in the geriatric population. Although many studies have investigated the relationship between physical activity and subjective well-being in old age, few have been conducted among the aging Indonesian population. This study was aimed at investigating the association between physical activity and measures of subjective well-being among older adults in Indonesia using data from a community survey. After restricting the sample to individuals aged 60 and older, a sample of 1,813 old individuals was yielded. Two models of multiple regression were estimated. In the first model, subjective well-being was predicted by physical activity. The second model added to the first model a wide range of confounding variables in order to check whether the relationship between physical activity and subjective well-being was still significant after adjusting for covariates.  The main findings revealed that staying physically active was associated with high levels of life satisfaction but not with happiness beyond the contribution of gender, education, marital status, religiosity, personality, and self-rated health. Physical activity yields well-being benefits in old age and these findings are relevant for policymakers, health professionals in the geriatric field, and public health professionals

The interpretation of Koran by using the experimental sciences has produced many books of scientific interpretation (tafsîr 'ilmy) and became an important reference. However, did not rule out this development led to the shift of functions of the Koran as a guidance holy book to the book of knowledge by some mufassir which interpreted influenced by foreign cultures, so that Koran interpretation was leaning on ra'yi (pure opinion) and exit from the rules of correct interpretation (tafsîr). This incident makes Muslims scholars in Egypt and Syria encouraged to determine the position of the correct scientific interpretation (tafsîr 'ilmy) of the incorrect scientific interpretations (tafsîr 'ilmy)
