Dampak Pembiayaan Terhadap Kinerja Usaha Mikro

This study aims to analyze the relationship between financing and the performance of microenterprises in three provinces in Indonesia: the Special Region of Yogyakarta, the Special Region of Aceh, and the Special Capital Region of Jakarta. The panel data combines cross-sectional data from these three provinces with time-series data for the period 2019Q1-2023Q4. The analysis method used is panel regression with NFD2 least squares. The results indicate a positive relationship between financing and microenterprise performance; however, the relationship is weak. These findings suggest that microfinance alone is not sufficient to improve the performance of microenterprises and must be supported by other factors.

Determinants of early marriage in rural areas Aceh Province Indonesia.

Early marriage often occurs in the low and middle income countries because of thetradition and cultural belief that girls must be married off immediately. The data was obtained from the Aceh Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion, from a population of all married women under the age of 19 years, totaling 507 respondents. The study used a total sampling technique. Data analysis consisted of the use of collinearity tests, chi-square, and multiple logistic regression analysis. The results showed that parental and economic factors have significant relationships to early marriage. The poorest women are 2.23 times more likely to experience early marriages than the richest women. Poor women are 1.68 times more vulnerable to early marriage than the richest women.Women who have parents with a very strong role have a risk of early marriage of 10.34 times compared to women whose parents do not play much of a role, namely 9.10 times. We conclude that parental factors play dominant in the incidence of early marriage in Aceh Province in Indonesia.

Numerical Investigation of Archimedes Screw Turbines under Low-Head Conditions

The development of screw turbines for micro-hydro power generation has garnered heightened interest lately, attributed to their capability to perform efficiently despite low head and low discharge. The present numerical work aims to evaluate the prospect of low-head water energy widely available in the Aceh region. In this region, the Archimedes Screw turbine is the most commonly used. In the present numerical study, the characteristics of the Archimedes screw turbine were studied under the constant of the head of 1 meter and the inclination angle of 30o, with the flow rate served as the varying parameter. In the simulation, a three-dimensional numerical investigation of pressure characteristics, flow velocity, and kinetic energy turbulence due to the change in the flow rates was carried out using the Navier-Stokes equations. Next, the turbulence model of K-Epsilon was also implemented. The comparisons between the experimental and the simulation results were carried out to ensure the accuracy of the simulation model, and the results indicated that the changes in flow rates have a marked influence on pressure distribution, the flow velocity field, and turbulent kinetic energy. It was found that the performance of the Archimedes double screw turbine was improved by increasing the flow rate due to the uniform distribution of pressure, flow velocity, and turbulent kinetic energy. Moreover, the optimum condition was achieved in a turbine with 8 screws. Therefore, maintaining the inflow rate is crucial as it significantly impacts the efficiency of the Archimedes Screw Turbine.

Integration of disaster risk reductionand climate change adaptation in Aceh: Progress and challenges after 20 Years of Indian Ocean Tsunamis

The Indian Ocean Tsunami (IOT) of 2004, which tragically claimed 168,000 lives and displaced about half a million people in the Aceh region of Indonesia, established Aceh's reputation as one of the most geologically volatile areas in Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, the 2004 IOT also altered some geomorphological changes, particularly land subsidence in the coastal areas of South, Southwest, and West Aceh, making these regions more susceptible to coastal floods and inundation over the last 20 years. The 2004 tsunamigenic earthquakes had been compounded by hydroclimatic hazards (and required to reduce risk beyond geological disasters) that continued to cause loss and damage, compromise communities' well-being, and reproduce vulnerabilities. This article examines the progress and challenges for integrating disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in Aceh, with a focus on the capital city, Banda Aceh using in-depth stakeholder interviews and document reviews. Anticipating gaps in meeting Sendai Framework 2030 target, as also observed elsewhere in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, the findings suggest various key challenges for the integration, including (1) fragmented DRR and CCA policies leading shaped the gap in coordination and collaboration among actors; (2) nurturing political commitment remains a challenge at local level; (3) lack of fiscal capacity and lack of earmarked allocation hampers the potential integration; (4) and deficits in community participation delayed adaptation and integration. The study offers recommendations for policy insights and consideration.

Tourism Education Development on the Coastline: Challenges Empirical Study on Islamic Law Province

Tourism is one of the contributors to the country’s foreign exchange. Aceh has abundant natural resources. However, natural wealth without adequate human resources cannot be processed as natural resources. Apart from that, the issue of sharia tourism or halal tourism is a debate that affects the smooth running of tourism in Aceh. This research aimed to explore the challenges of developing tourism education in the coastal region of Aceh. The method used was a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out using in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, observation, and searching for important documents from both tourism education institutions and agencies related to tourism development in Aceh. The research results found that Aceh has abundant natural resources both in terms of religious tourism, natural tourism, and historical and cultural tourism. However, educational institutions in Aceh to support tourism were still very minimal, especially for universities; Aceh only had one study program at a private university. Meanwhile, the challenge faced in developing tourism education was the lack of professional teaching staff in the tourism sector, apart from educational institutions, which were also still minimal. Likewise, Sharia tourism regulations were not yet legally strong. This research recommends that the government pay more massive attention to Tourism Education Institutions in Aceh.

Morphology of Bacteria and Fungi From The Fermentation of Asam Drien as a Local Food Ingredient of West Aceh

A typical food ingredient of the Aceh region, especially the western and southern, is Asam drien (language from the West Aceh region). Asam drien is made from durian fruit meat, usually due to the abundance of durian fruit, or because the durian fruit is of poor quality such as the taste of the bland fruit meat, then most of the people utilize the durian fruit into Asam drien which can be used as a seasoning for cooking. The purpose of this study was to identify the morphological characteristics of bacterial and fungal colonies in Asam drien processing, this study used a qualitative descriptive method for colony characteristics, and biochemical tests. The results of research on bacteria and fungi in Asam drien found 14 colonies from the entire fermentation both at home and in the laboratory, namely irregular and diffuse, elongated, round, and threaded shapes; colony color characteristics obtained only one color, namely cream color; characteristics of colony edges there are 5, namely: wavy, squiggly, smooth, serrated, and threadbare. Colony elevation characteristics obtained 2 forms, namely flat and raised. There are 2 types of colony surface characteristics, namely rough and smooth shiny. Then reisolated on selective media DeMan Rogosa Sharpe Agar (MRS Agar) for lactic acid bacteria. The results of observations found 11 colonies from the entire fermentation each consisting of 2 types of isolates Ka and Kb which are Gram-positive bacteria bacillus and coccus cell forms. As well as fungi that grow on Asam drien, namely the genus Rhizopus and the type of yeast found from the genus Saccharomyces. The catalase test on Asam drien bacteria is positive, has proteolytic, amylolytic, and cellulolytic potential, but is not able to hydrolyze fat and alcohol.

The Role of Traditional Salt Production in Achieving Halal Standards of the Ulamaconsultative Council: Implications for Sustainable Development Goals

Objective: The fact in salt production by traditional coastal communities is a lack of understanding of the halal standards for salt production formulated by the Ulama Consultative Council in the Aceh region. Supposedly, Muslim salt farmers already have basic knowledge about halal salt production standards under Islamic sharia rules. This article, therefore, describes the salt processing process that conforms to halal production standards, including the main raw materials, workers, facilities, production processes, product packaging, and product distribution under Islamic law. Method: The data used in this study were observations of Lancang coastal salt (coastal salt fields), interviews with the head of LPPOM MPU and secretaries, the head of the Banda Aceh Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Service, 241 coastal salt farmers, and three staff supporting salt farmers. Data were also obtained through a focus group discussion attended by all elements involved in the Acehnese halal salt production. Results: The results of this study highlighted that four standards had been met: raw material standards, worker standards, packaging standards, and distribution standards. Meanwhile, two standards have not been fulfilled: the standard for processing and the standard for the facilities used. Both have not met halal standards according to the guidelines of the Ulama Consultative Council in Aceh. SDGs Review | São Paulo (SP) | VOL. 4 | e01594 | pag: 01-47 | Jan-Dec | 2024. Contribution: this research helps improve the quality of salt produced by traditional farmers in Aceh by introducing and guiding them to comply with the halal standards set by LPPOM MPU Aceh. Education and awareness-raising among farmers about the importance of halal production are key points, where they are taught how to apply halal principles at every stage of the salt-making process. With a better understanding of these standards, farmers can not only improve the quality of their products but also obtain halal certification, which in turn increases the market value and consumer trust in the salt they produce. Furthermore, this research positively impacts the local economy by opening up broader market opportunities for traditional salt farmers. Halal certification allows them to sell their products to a larger market segment, including consumers who prioritize halal products, thus increasing the income and well-being of the farmers. Additionally, this research emphasizes the importance of preserving traditional methods in salt production, ensuring that techniques passed down through generations remain relevant and comply with current halal standards. The findings of this research also provide valuable input for the government and related institutions in formulating policies that support halal production and the sustainability of traditional salt farmers. As a model or example of best practices, this research can be adopted by other regions with traditional salt production, enabling them to follow Aceh's lead in implementing halal production standards. Thus, this research not only directly benefits traditional salt farmers in Aceh but also has the potential to inspire and drive positive changes at the national level.

Performance Comparison of Two Portable Near-infrared Devices for Rapid Authentication of Aceh Aromatic Rice ‘Sigupai’

Sigupai rice, Indonesia local aromatic rice varieties grown in South-West region of Aceh, is highly valued for its fragrance and quality, making it susceptible to adulteration. This study compares the performance of two portable Near-infrared (NIR) devices, SCiO and NeoSpectra, for rapid authentication of Sigupai rice. We evaluated 86 samples for qualitative analysis (i.e. authentic vs adulterated rice) and 44 samples for quantitative analysis (i.e. the level of adulteration). For the qualitative analysis using partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), the best estimation model could differentiate authentic and adulterated samples with an accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and false positive rates of 89.29%, 92.86%, 85.71% and 14.29% for the NeoSpectra and 97.44%, 100%, 94.87%, and 5.13% for the SCiO, respectively at the validation stage. For quantitative analysis using partial least squares-regression (PLS-R), the best estimation model could estimate the level of adulteration with a coefficient of determination (R²), RMSEP, RPD, and consistency values of 0.92, 1.50%, 5.93 and 100.69% for the NeoSpectra and 0.96, 1.31%, 6.83 and 104.78% for the SCiO. Both portable NIR devices could be used as a rapid analysis tool for the authenticity of Sigupai rice with high accuracy. However, in this study the SCiO device showed a better performance. Keywords: Portable NIR device, Authentication, Aromatic rice, Rapid analysis, Sigupai variety.

Navigating Sustainability and Inclusivity: Women-Led Community-Based Businesses in Post-Disaster Recovery

Community-based businesses have emerged as a means of addressing socio-economic challenges in the aftermath of disasters. This study investigates the contribution of women-led community-based businesses to recovery and their long-term sustainability. It draws upon case studies in the Tohoku region of Japan and Banda Aceh, Indonesia, areas impacted by major earthquakes and tsunamis over a decade ago. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that the community-based businesses surveyed had evolved from mere “reconstruction goods” by maintaining sustained commitment and developing products. Enhancing organizational credibility through quality improvement efforts was crucial for securing long-term contracts with private companies, a key factor for business continuity. However, prioritizing sustainability often came at the cost of diminished community inclusivity, as differences in skill levels and misaligned values among participants led to departures. This study highlights the challenges in balancing business longevity with maintaining businesses’ role as spaces for social interaction and community rebuilding.

Application Programs for Learning Arabic in the Industrial Era 4.0: A Qualitative Analysis of Teachers and Students in Aceh

This article describes learning Arabic using online applications in secondary and tertiary schools in the Aceh region. It analyzes the benefits and obstacles faced by teachers and students. This research uses the qualitative-analytical approach using Creswell's analysis theory, including data preparation and processing, building a general sense of information, and coding and interpreting the data. This research shows that learning the Arabic language through online applications is an activity that provides information, especially Arabic language studies, through the Internet, such as via WhatsApp, Google Classroom, Zoom, Kahoot, and Quizizz applications. Using these applications makes them more knowledgeable in developing their technology capabilities. Technology can accustom students to independent learning and not rely on the teacher's explanation alone, creating the habit of reading and analyzing educational materials. One of the obstacles to learning through electronic media is the lack of access to the Internet in rural areas of Aceh. There are no computers or laptops for students, and there are materials that are difficult to understand.

FT-IR Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of Patchouli Oil from West Aceh and Aceh Jaya using PCA and HCA

This study aims to characterize and compare the chemical composition of patchouli oil from various regions in Aceh, Indonesia, using Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) combined with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA). Patchouli oil samples from five distinct locations within West Aceh and Aceh Jaya Regencies were analyzed, focusing on the 1800-500 cm⁻¹ range. The FT-IR spectra revealed significant chemical markers, with notable absorption bands corresponding to aliphatic C-H, C=O, and C=C stretching vibrations. Multivariate analyses showed distinct clustering patterns, with four samples (POSM, POSP, POT, and POW) exhibiting high chemical similarity and clustering together, while one sample (POP) formed a separate cluster, indicating a lower degree of similarity. PCA analysis of the original spectra in the 1800-500 cm⁻¹ range yielded a cumulative PC1 and PC2 value of 89%. The HCA dendrogram highlighted a significant relative distance of 10 between the POP sample and the other four samples, indicating minimal relatedness, with the closest relatedness observed between POSM and POSP, having a relative distance of 1.1. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of FT-IR spectroscopy combined with PCA and HCA in distinguishing chemical profiles of patchouli oil from different regions, providing insights into geographical and varietal influences on oil composition. The findings are crucial for quality control and standardization in the patchouli oil industry, with further molecular studies recommended to corroborate and enhance understanding of genetic diversity among patchouli varieties in Aceh.

Urgency of Establishing Qanun on the Functional Duties of the High Prosecutor's Office in Aceh Province

The success and sustainability of the implementation of Islamic Shari'a in Aceh is not only the burden of local law enforcement agencies such as Wilayatul Hisbah, the Syar'iyah Court and the Islamic Shari'a Office, law enforcement agencies on a national scale are also involved such as the Indonesian National Police through the Aceh Regional Police and the Attorney General's Office in Aceh Province in charge of transferring Jinayat (Islamic criminal law) cases to the Syar'iyah Court. However, this task of the prosecutor's office is considered by the researcher to need improvement because the role of the prosecutor's office is responsible for the delegation of cases to 2 (two) different courts. Of course, this improvement is needed through Qanun which has legitimacy as a regional regulation in the Indonesian legal system. Based on this description, this research is a typology of normative (legal) research. The results and discussion in this study conclude: First, the area of Islamic shari'a law enforcement has a synchronization between Law Number 1 of 2021 concerning the Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Indonesia with the Aceh Qanun in the enforcement of Islamic shari'a in Aceh. The presence of Islamic law enforcement agencies in Aceh does not mean that the task of enforcing Islamic law is only government agencies. Second, the Urgency of the establishment of Qanun Aceh Prosecutor's Functional Duty is a social condition that requires improvement in the enforcement of Islamic shari'a in Aceh

Impacts, Challenges, And Opportunities Of Rohingya Immigrants For Aceh's Regional Economy And Indonesia's National Security

The fundamental problem of Rohingya immigrants coming to Indonesia in large numbers has been a hotly debated issue in recent years. Rohingya immigrants are a group of ethnic minorities from Rakhine state, Myanmar. They have experienced discriminatory treatment that has caused them to flee Myanmar and seek safety in other countries, including Indonesia. The arrival of immigrants to Indonesia has the potential to impact the regional economy of Indonesia's national security. The regional economy is an economic activity carried out by economic actors (households, companies, and government) in a region to meet the needs of its people. Meanwhile, national security is an effort and strategy undertaken by the state to protect the integrity, sovereignty and sustainability of life and aims to ensure the safety and security of the state. In resolving national security through diplomacy between countries. For Indonesia, this is very important to achieve national development and ensure the safety and welfare of the community. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the arrival of Rohingya immigrants on Indonesia's national security, the impact can be in the form of threats or opportunities, in this case government policies to deal with the problem. This research uses a systematic literature review method with national and international approaches. This is to draw conclusions from several previous studies related to Rohingya immigrants: Threat or opportunity for Indonesia's national security. It is hoped that this research can provide a reference to the government in determining policies related to Rohingya immigrants for Indonesia's national security.

Implementation of Financial Aid for Local Political Parties in Banda Aceh City

<p><em>This study examined the </em><em>allocation</em><em> of financial aid funds from the Banda Aceh Regional Government Budget (APBK) to Local Political Parties X and Y in Banda Aceh. This study conducted empirical juridical research and presented the findings of field research using two analytical frameworks: Legal Effectiveness theory and Siyasah Maliyah Fiqh theory.</em><em> It focused on local political parties since they represent a unique kind of democracy in the Aceh region</em><em>.</em><em> From the standpoint of legal effectiveness theory, the findings of this study suggest that the supporting facilities in the form of financial aid and legal factors are adequate and suitable. Nevertheless, barriers remain present within law enforcement, society, and culture. From the accumulated results of the components of the theory of legal effectiveness, a fiqh siyasah maliyah perspective is obtained. Thus, it can be concluded that the principles of ownership and management are still hampered by transparency, accountability, and openness of information to the community. The principle of abuse and corruption is already working well, but the accuracy of targeting financial funds must be improved The people's benefit has not been completely realized as a result of the aid use not being targeted.. The principle of amar ma'ruf nahyi mungkar has also not been fully implemented because it is hampered by a crisis of public trust, the party's understanding of regulations, and the infrastructure supporting transparency and accountability.</em></p>
