Challenging and encouraging halal certification in handicraft MSMEs

Halal certification, a crucial aspect of the halal product industry in Indonesia, is mandatory for food and beverage products. However, awareness and understanding of halal certification remain low among Handicraft MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises). This research explores the perceptions, understanding, awareness, and challenges Handicraft MSMEs face regarding halal certification. A qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews was employed as the data collection method, followed by NVivo software analysis. The results indicate that Handicraft MSMEs lack an understanding of the importance of halal certification and are unaware of the obligations and procedures involved. We identified insufficient socialization as a significant obstacle, underscoring the urgent need for more awareness campaigns and educational programs. The complexity of the certification process and lack of coordination among halal institutions are also significant obstacles. This research provides profound insights into the challenges and opportunities in implementing halal certification for Handicraft MSMEs, emphasizing the crucial role of the government in promoting and facilitating halal certification implementation for Handicraft MSMEs to support growth and competitiveness in the market.

Evaluasi Usability Aplikasi English Competency Test (ECT) Menggunakan Metode Computer System Usability Questionner (CSUQ): Studi Kasus Pusat Bahasa Institut Teknologi Telkom Purwokerto

The advancement of the digital era provides many conveniences in various fields. This is because its presence can support the sharing of human activities. One of the conveniences that can be felt is the digital transformation in the implementation of English certification to improve the effectiveness and quality of its implementation. English certification through a web-based English Competency Test (ECT) is a form of digital transformation used to certify English at the Telkom Institute of Technology Purwokerto. However, in practice, the use of the English Competency Test (ECT) system still has several shortcomings, such as the appearance on the English Competency Test (ECT) is less attractive and difficult to understand, the access process is less responsive and some features are not functioning properly. Therefore, to correct the existing deficiencies, it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of use. This study is here to analyze the quality assessment of the English Competency Test (ECT) system. By using the Computer System Usability Questioner (CSUQ) instrument in the form of a questionnaire to assess the effectiveness, efficiency and convenience provided by ECT. The results showed that the usability of the English Competency Test (ECT) system was “Neutral” with a feasibility percentage of 58%. Neutral indicates that the English Competency Test (ECT) can be used, but still cannot be said to be good. Based on the research results, improvements can be made to the Information Quality section by providing error messages and improvements and improvements to the Interface Quality section to make it more user friendly.

Implementation of monitoring and certification with the developed China heavy-duty vehicle energy consumption and carbon emission calculation model

Owing to escalating concerns regarding global warming, there has been a heightened focus on greenhouse gases emitted by vehicles. To effectively monitor and certify the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of heavy-duty vehicles, this study proposes a calculation model named the China Heavy-Duty Vehicle Energy Consumption and Carbon Emission Calculation Model (CHECM). The CHECM is a simulation tool based on longitudinal dynamics. A classification learner was utilised to obtain shifting strategies, achieving accuracies of 92.9% and 93.5% under regulated driving cycles. A fuel-consumption model was incorporated to predict the transient performance of the engine and transmission. In addition, the Sobol method was used to assess the sensitivities of rolling resistance, air drag and rotational mass conversion coefficients to the driving force and a method was proposed to obtain the road resistance correction factor. The test results of three China-6 heavy-duty vehicles over two regulatory test cycles were obtained and used for model accuracy evaluation. The results showed that the deviations between the measured and calculated fuel consumption were 1.25–3.57%, whereas those between the measured and calculated CO2 emissions using the Chinese World Transient Vehicle Cycle were 3.23–4.16%. The CHECM has the potential to accurately replicate various driving conditions and vehicle configurations, particularly when specific sources of uncertainty are constrained.

LOCAL TOUR GUIDE COMPETENCE PERSPECTIVE IN SUPPORTING SERVICE PERFORMANCE IN SESAOT TOURISM VILLAGE

Currently, there is no urgency in the context of Local Tour Guide competency which is the main concern in developing the quality of human resources, especially in one of the tourist destinations, namely the Sesaot tourist village. In several studies, it is stated that the level of competence has an important role as an indicator in supporting service performance in a tourism destination, but there has been no research regarding the perception of local tour guides regarding their competence. Therefore, this research raises this issue using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data in this research was obtained through a process of observation, interviews and documentation. Interviews were conducted with three informants from BUMDES, tourism awareness group (POKDARWIS) and local guides, where these three components influence the resource competency development program in the Sesaot tourist village. The data collection process was carried out for 3 months, followed by data analysis using the Creswell approach for qualitative research. Based on the results of observations and interviews, it was found that village administrators and local tour guides have the same view regarding the importance of competency certification for local guides and expect assistance from the government or related agencies in assisting local tour guide competency certification in supporting service performance in the Sesaot tourist village. However, the implementation of competency certification for tour guides has not been implemented due to minimal government support or suboptimal planning. Considering this, annual planning for increasing human resources in the Sesaot tourist village needs to be included in the village's annual planning

The problem of psychologist certification: A comparative analysis of international experience

As the war in Ukraine poses a significant threat to national mental health, professional psychological support has become more crucial than ever for Ukrainians. The need to regulate the profession and establish a safe environment for consumers of psychological services has led to the implementation of psychologist licensing and certification. In Ukraine, this system is imperfect and requires optimisation, one of the ways to achieve which is to study and adapt the best international experience. In light of this, the aim of this article was to examine the characteristics of psychologist certification in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and China to identify prospects for developing the psychologist certification system in Ukraine. The methodological tools used included the dialectical method, as well as systemic, informational, theological, and functional approaches, which allowed for the presentation of the features of certification in the current conditions of professionalisation of psychological activities. It has been established that certification has historically been one of the methods for measuring competence in professional psychology. For this purpose, professional associations create voluntary certification systems. The features of the most developed psychologist certification systems (USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom) were examined, and an attempt was made to compare them with similar certification models in the European Union and China. Common requirements for psychologist certification in these countries were identified, including requirements for the content and duration of specialised education; requirements for supervised psychological practice; requirements for professional development in both practical and research areas; and requirements for the moral and ethical qualities of the psychologist. Conceptualising and measuring psychologist competence is an ongoing dynamic process as the field of psychological practice continues to evolve. The practical value of the results lies in their potential use to identify ways to improve the national psychologist certification system and the possibilities for transitioning from voluntary certification to mandatory certification

Using ISO 14001 certification to signal sustainability equivalence: an examination of the critical success factors

Organisations employ third-party certification for various purposes including to signal commitment to sustainability compliance and equivalence with stakeholders. However, while successful certification implementation requires a focus on its ‘Critical success factors’ (CSFs), its proliferation in the literature impedes its usefulness. To, therefore, gain insights into how individual CSFs can be employed to signal relevant compliance and equivalence, we conduct an in-depth case study with a public sector organisation based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). We employ a three-staged study consisting of (i) literature-based CSF identification, (ii) interpretive structural modelling (ISM) relationship modelling/visualisation, and (iii) fuzzy Cross-impact matrix multiplication analysis (MICMAC)/Social network analysis (SNA) metric relationship analysis. Five key CSFs (‘Top management commitment and support’, ‘Environmental policies and objectives’, ‘Government policies and Environmental legislation’, ‘Employee involvement’, and ‘Teamwork’) are identified as requiring maximum priority for successful ISO 14001 certification in public sector organisations. Building on the findings, the originality of the paper is twofold. First, we explore the phenomenon of the public sector subjecting itself to certification undertaken by private sector institutions. While this phenomenon is not very unusual, its exploration in an operations context is largely unknown. Second, we explore and explain to what extent information exchange emanating from the intricate and iterative interrelationship between the various CSFs driving successful third-party certification can be employed to signal sustainability compliance and stakeholder equivalence in public sector organisations.

Implementation of Primary School Teacher Certification Policy

A teaching certificate serves as proof of recognition of a teacher's status as a professional. This study aims to determine the implementation model of the primary school teacher certification policy in Seluma Regency, Bengkulu Province. This qualitative research method collects data through a qualitative approach and descriptive approach to explain and describe the implementation of the teacher certification policy. The results obtained show that the lack of socialization facilities and infrastructure, coupled with the absence of socialization of teacher certification since 2012 until now, has made the primary school teacher certification policy in Sukaraja Sub-district, Seluma Regency, difficult to implement. Relevant parties from the Seluma District Education Office have not been able to offer the most effective solutions to the problems faced by teachers, especially in responding to regulations that are almost never consistent in the implementation of teacher certification.

A review of the developed methods for the analysis of lard and pork in food and pharmaceutical products for halal authentication

The development of an analytical method for halal authentication analysis is urgent to assure the halalness of food and pharmaceutical products. Halal authentication analysis is widely applied for the analysis of non-halal components present in food and pharmaceutical products using some analytical methods. Non-halal components typically found in products are pig derivatives, any components derived from a pig (Sus scrofa), and alcohol. Pig derivatives such as lard and pork are widely applied in food and pharmaceutical products. Some methods based on chromatographic and molecular spectroscopy are widely applied for the analysis of pork and lard. The analytical responses obtained during the analysis of lard and pork are complex and involve a large dataset, therefore, the employment of multivariate data analysis is a must. This review described comprehensively the application of chemical analytical methods, mainly based on chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, for the analysis of pork and pork fat (lard) in food and pharmaceutical products. The successful application of analytical methods for halal authentication can assist the regulatory bodies in confirming the absence of non-halal components in the products which support the implementation of halal certification.

Ecological modernization at construction industry enterprises as an innovative production and management technology

The article delves into the pivotal role of ecological modernization, specifically the environmentalization of production at enterprises in the building materials sector. A comprehensive study was conducted on the product range of Ivano-Frankivskcement PJSC, one of the largest enterprises in the Western region. This case study serves as a tangible example, demonstrating that the adoption of environmentally friendly production necessitates both the environmentalization of production processes and management. The implementation of a comprehensive environmentalization strategy involves the incorporation of ecologically oriented measures in both the internal and external environments of the production system, while the environmentalization of the management system entails a restructuring of organizational forms and management methods to align with ecological principles. It was established that an essential part of ecological modernization is the introduction of environmental management systems. This includes requirements for waste and its processing, control over the use of water resources, and implementation of environmental certification and standards. Ecological modernization at enterprises in the construction industry helps to reduce the sector's ecological impact on the environment, contributes to the preservation of natural resources, and improves people's quality of life. It is proposed that enterprises producing building materials switch to the use of a dry method of production - an innovative technology that will contribute to the reduction of morbidity in the population and will protect the natural environment from harmful impurities and combustion products. The main advantage of this is energy-saving and highly efficient cement production technologies. It is emphasized that when carrying out production activities, enterprises in the field of production of construction materials should also apply management technologies of controlling, outsourcing, foresight, etc., with the help of which adverse environmental and economic problems can be detected promptly, and suggestions for their elimination can be made. Keywords: ecological modernization, "green" technologies, enterprise, business entity, management, production, ecological situation.

Methods: This study focuses on the application of the theory of Esman and Uphoff in (Abriandi et al., 2019), mentioning several roles of farmer institutions, with indicators namely: Interorganizational Tasks, Resource Tasks, Services Tasks, and extra–organizational tasks. This study uses a mixed research method, which combines the process of a quantitative approach in data collection and a qualitative approach in analyzing descriptively. Findings: Researchers finding the importance of building collaboration in strengthening ISPO regulations in the future, because Independent Smallholder Institutions play an important role in influencing the success or failure of the implementation of ISPO certification, in general, ISPO certification policies are still in demand by large companies while the majority ownership of oil palm plantations is owned by Independent Smallholders so need to encourage Independent Smallholders to play an active role in implementing ISPO certification. Practical Implications: By uncovering the obstacles faced by independent smallholders and assessing the effectiveness of institutions in the ISPO certification process, the research provides actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders. The study's emphasis on developing responsive plans and strengthening the independent smallholder ecosystem adds a practical dimension to the broader discourse on sustainable palm oil development. Originality/Value: This research stands out through its specific focus on independent smallholders, the nuanced examination of ISPO challenges at the grassroots level, the adoption of a comprehensive institutional concept, the significance of the chosen geographical context, the integration of multi-disciplinary insights, and the exploration of readiness and conventional practices. These elements collectively contribute to the novelty and originality of the study, offering a unique contribution to the existing body of knowledge on sustainable palm oil governance.

Differentiating behavioral impact with or without vaccination certification under mass vaccination and non-pharmaceutical interventions on mitigating COVID-19

As COVID-19 vaccines became widely available worldwide, many countries implemented vaccination certification, also known as a “green pass”, to promote and expedite vaccination on containing virus spread from the latter half of 2021. This policy allowed those vaccinated to have more freedom in public activities compared to more constraints on the unvaccinated in addition to existing non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). Accordingly, the vaccination certification also induced heterogeneous behaviors of unvaccinated and vaccinated groups. This makes it essential yet challenging to model the behavioral impact of vaccination certification on the two groups and the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 within and between the groups. Very limited quantitative work is available for addressing these purposes. Here we propose an extended epidemiological model SEIQRD^2 to effectively distinguish the behavioral impact of vaccination certification on unvaccinated and vaccinated groups through incorporating two contrastive transmission chains. SEIQRD^2 also quantifies the impact of the green pass policy. With the resurgence of COVID-19 in Greece, Austria, and Israel in 2021, our simulation results indicate that their implementation of vaccination certification brought about more than a 14-fold decrease in the total number of infections and deaths as compared to a scenario with no such a policy. Additionally, a green pass policy may offer a reasonable practical solution to strike the balance between public health and individual’s freedom during the pandemic.
