Legal Aspects of use of QR Codes as a Tool of Payment in Cross Countries

Bank Indonesia stated that currently QR-Code Indonesia can be used in Southeast Asia and Asian countries, better known as QR-Codecross border or QR-Code across countries. Bank Indonesia as the banking regulator in Indonesia continues to promote the use of QR-Codecross border as a substitute for currency. physical money so that it can be used by people who travel abroad or tourists to Indonesia and/or people who carry out cross-border transactions, but on the other hand there are no special regulations yet to ensure the security and comfort of the public in using QR-Code across borders. The research method uses a type of normative juridical research, namely research that focuses on the study of legislation and how the law works. The data collection method uses the library research method or library research using secondary data in the form of legislation, books and previous research using the descriptive analysis method. Analysis The form of QRIS regulation between countries is an agreement outlined in the form of an MoU cooperation document. There are 5 central banks that have signed, namely Bank Indonesia, Bank Negara Malaysia, Bangko Sentral Pilipinas, Monetary Authority of Singapore, and Bank of Thailand. Currently, its use is only based on a cooperation agreement between Bank Indonesia and the Central Bank of a foreign country or the provision of foreign payments. Regulations for cross-border QRIS use in Indonesia are currently only based on the Regulation of Members of the Board of Governors Number 21/18/Padg/2019 concerning the Implementation of the National Quick Response Code Standard for Payments.

The complex marriage: interfacing open science and open indigenous knowledge

PurposeThe open science movement is growing in unimaginable ways and incorporating more knowledge areas such as Indigenous knowledge. We argue that open science and open Indigenous knowledge (OIK) go hand in hand and therefore must be explored and developed together as social justice for the benefit of the society that support knowledge. This paper conceptualizes the link between open science and open Indigenous knowledge with the aim of creating an understanding of the linkages and their manifestations.Design/methodology/approachThis is a conceptual paper that emerges from some traditional literature review and bibliometric analysis of Scopus (focusing on open science) and ebsco (focusing on Indigenous knowledge) ranging from 2010 to 2024 conducted to determine the magnitude of research on open science and open Indigenous knowledge. Experiential knowledge based on previous research by the author on IK was used in conjunction with the two approaches for holistic analysis and discourse.FindingsThis article recognises the fundamental pillars of access to knowledge within applied ethics and international (e.g. UNDHR, SDG) and national frameworks (e.g. IK policies and legislations). It underscores the value of understanding indigenous knowledge and open science so that they can be applied appropriately and correctly when dealing with open indigenous knowledge which depends on their understanding and development to thrive. The growth of research on OS and IK is recognised through the limited bibliometric analysis in the paper. It is acknowledged by analysis of both SCOPUS and EBSCSCO databases that there are hardly any studies on open indigenous knowledge. We note the possibility of interfacing OS and OIK despite the limitations and suggest areas of attention in Tables 2 and 3 worth further exploration. OIK is likely to benefit more from the IK and OS challenges and opportunities to find its rightful place in OS movement in the future. Library and Information science education and research should be part of OIK growth.Research limitations/implicationsIt is acknowledged by analysis of both SCOPUS and EBSCSCO databases that there are hardly any studies on open indigenous knowledge. Despite its limitations, a broader, deeper and better understanding of open indigenous knowledge for research and development is expected to originate from this paper.Practical implicationsThis paper contributes to ongoing research, discourse, teaching and learning on Indigenous knowledge by providing understanding and a framework for developing open indigenous knowledge now and in the future.Social implicationsThe paper will have an impact on policy, research, teaching and learning as well as Library information services.Originality/valueThe paper explores and provides new scope and a framework for understanding and developing open indigenous knowledge.

HOW CAN HUMANS DEVELOP LANGUAGE AS THEIR MEANS OF COMMUNICATION?

In term of language development, humans are indeed the most capable and the most amazing creatures. They are not only able to develop their own language, their vernacular as the first language (L1), but also are able to develop other languages either as the second language (L2) or as the foreign language (FL). Many of them are not only able to communicate in one language but also in various languages. They are also able to communicate with other creatures of non-human. Even, some “selected and distinguished” humans like the prophets, for instance, are able to communicate with the Creator of all creatures, God the Almighty. The main question that needs to be answered in this study was: “How can humans develop language as their means of communication?” This question was then elaborated into: (1) How do humans develop their L1?, (2) How do humans develop their L2, and (3) How do humans develop their FL? This study employed library research method. The data were not obtained from the direct observation of primary source. Instead, they were collected from the secondary sources, such as, documents, text-books, research reports, and other relevant documented materials as the sources of data. The data collected were then analyzed and described qualitatively. The findings of the study showed that (1) humans in general are able to develop their language as the means of communication is because of the activation of the Language Acquisition Device (LAD), (2) humans develop their L1 through the process of acquisition, and (3) humans develop their L2 and FL through the process of learning, and (4) the intensity of interaction between and among language communicators contribute to the development of one’s language.

Third, the strategy for cultivating children's awareness is based on the value of integrating subjects in the educational curriculum through the integration of allied lessons, material on the dynamics of the reality of life, self-control, and social movements, and understanding the noble value of the nation's philosophy for life.

Endorsement of Sharī'ah Label Product Influencers Through Social Media Efforts to Increase Interest in the Number of Muslim Consumers

The ease of people accessing information about a product has given rise to a new shopping system that can be done online. One of the social media applications that is currently often used is the TikTok application. It can be proven that Tiktok is the No. 1 application that is often downloaded in Indonesia according to Data Reports. The TikTok application algorithm is different from other applications, making it easier for people to go viral and be recognized by many people. Thus, the term influencer emerged as someone who can influence others. This study aims to examine and analyze the endorsement of Muslim influencers of fashion products through TikTok Shop social media to increase consumer interest. This study also explored how support affects economic outcomes for supporters and evaluates the impact of influencer marketing and content creators. This study used a library research method coupled with a data analysis framework rooted in Islamic economics and supported by inductive reasoning and qualitative data. The research findings revealed that influencers and content creators with significant followers have been shown to increase product sales significantly. The key factor for the success of social media promotion lies in implementing effective advertising strategies and collaborating with influential figures or media that resonate with target consumers. The existence of influencer support for a product significantly affects the number and interest of consumers so that it can improve the quality of marketing and increase the reach of a wide market.

KERUKUNAN UMAT BERAGAMA SEBAGAI WUJUD IMPLEMENTASI TOLERANSI

Religious harmony is a fundamental element in maintaining social stability and national unity, especially in a country with religious diversity like Indonesia. This study employs the library research method, analyzing various written sources such as books, scientific journals, research reports, and relevant official documents. A descriptive-qualitative approach is used to explore the supporting and inhibiting factors of religious harmony and examine the implementation of tolerance in society. The study's findings indicate that several factors contribute to religious harmony in Indonesia, including local wisdom values, the role of the government and religious institutions, multicultural education, and strong social interactions. However, several obstacles hinder religious harmony, such as intolerance and radicalism, the spread of religious-based hoaxes, social inequality, and the lack of interfaith dialogue. According to the Religious Harmony Index (Indeks Kerukunan Umat Beragama), Indonesia generally maintains a good level of religious harmony, yet challenges persist in certain regions. This study emphasizes the need for synergy between the government, religious leaders, academics, and society to strengthen religious moderation and prevent potential conflicts. Strategies such as improving digital literacy, strengthening interfaith dialogue, and ensuring social welfare equity must be continuously pursued to maintain interreligious harmony. With an inclusive and participatory approach, Indonesia is expected to remain a country that upholds the values of tolerance in religious life.

Ethical considerations for advancing research using organoid models derived from the placenta

Abstract BACKGROUND The advent of organoid culture systems has revolutionized our ability to model and study complex tissues in vitro. The placenta is one of the last human organs to have a functional organoid model developed: trophoblast organoids. These 3-dimensional structures, derived from placental tissue, offer researchers a valuable tool for studying previously inaccessible processes that occur within the womb and play a significant role in determining the health of the offspring. While primarily used for research, trophoblast organoids hold promise for clinical applications, including prenatal diagnostics and therapeutic interventions, both of which may have commercial interest. However, to ensure that research with organoid models derived from the placenta is conducted responsibly, the relevant ethics of these models need to be addressed. OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE Ethical considerations related to organoid models derived from the placenta, such as trophoblast organoids are important but remain unexplored in literature. Therefore, the goal of this review is to explore the ethical considerations related to trophoblast organoids. SEARCH METHODS Since there is no ethical research specifically addressing organoid models of the placenta to date, we have based our findings on discussions related to other organoid models and research involving fetal tissue, placenta, or umbilical cord blood. We employed a scoping review method to search PubMed, Embase, Medline (all), Bioethics Research Library, and Google Scholar for research articles, books, or other correspondence on ethical issues regarding these indicated topics, with no date limits. OUTCOMES Ethical considerations related to trophoblast organoids can be divided into three distinct categories. First, there is a need to assess the moral value of trophoblast organoids, including their potential relational and symbolic dimensions. Second, it is important to understand ethical issues associated with ownership and commercialization of trophoblast organoids. Last, there are considerations related to appropriate informed consent procedures. It is worth noting that these three categories are interconnected, with the second and third being largely dependent on the moral value attributed to trophoblast organoids. Future research should assess the perspectives of various stakeholders, including parents who may donate placental tissue for organoid research. WIDER IMPLICATIONS This review offers valuable insights into the ethical landscape surrounding the derivation of tissues or products from pregnancies, and their further application, highlighting areas that require attention and discussion within both the scientific community and the broader society.

Optimizing Green Waqf as a Solution to Overcome Environmental Crisis

The environmental crisis has been a problem for a long time, in fact environmental degradation is getting worse from year to year. One solution to minimize environmental damage is green waqf. The aim of this research is to describe and analyze the implementation of green waqf in Indonesia, as well as analyze the reasons why green waqf can be a solution to environmental damage. This research falls into the category of library research or "library research". The approach taken is qualitative. Data sources are secondary sources, namely collecting, understanding and analyzing previous articles, news and books on relevant topics. The research results show that in Indonesia, the green waqf movement has not been implemented very much. There are at least four activities that can be called green waqf, namely tamanu tree waqf, clean water source waqf, forest waqf, and mangrove tree waqf. Tamanu trees are beneficial for unproductive land, clean water can benefit the community and provide long-term access to life, waqf forests play a role in maintaining microclimate stability, preserving biodiversity, conserving air, and preventing natural disasters, while mangrove trees provide benefits for the environment coastline. The implication of this research is to create public awareness to maximize the potential of waqf, especially environmentally friendly waqf.

National Education Paradigm Ahmad Tafsir Perspective

This article examines Ahmad Tafsir's views on the national education paradigm aimed at enlightening the nation's life and building Indonesia fully integrated with religious values. The type of research used is library research, and the data sources in this study are taken from relevant books and journals. From the review of books and journals, an explanation according to Ahmad Tafsir can be obtained that education in Indonesia must be based on the paradigm of faith, where faith-based education shapes character and enhances the nation's morals, as well as emphasizes the importance of integrating moral and scientific values into the education system. Faith becomes the core of the curriculum based on God the Almighty, which is the national education goal to shape students' character and noble morals in the educational process. According to Ahmad Tafsir, the education curriculum has three main pillars: moral, knowledge, and artistic skills. By prioritizing morality as the core of education, this paradigm also drives change and meets the needs of society in the face of global challenges, ensuring adherence to religious values and rooting all activities in faith. Thus, faith is the core of Pancasila, faith is the core of the 1945 Constitution, and faith is the core of national education.

Legal Protection for Consumers in the Transportation Sector: An Analysis of Consumer Rights and the Responsibilities of Public Transport Service Providers

Consumer protection in the transportation sector is a crucial aspect of public service governance, ensuring that consumer rights are safeguarded while maintaining the accountability of service providers. This study aims to analyze the legal protection mechanisms for consumers in the transportation sector, focusing on the rights of consumers and the responsibilities of public transport service providers. Using a qualitative research methodology, this study employs a literature review approach (library research) to examine relevant legal frameworks, regulations, and case studies at both national and international levels. The findings indicate that while many legal frameworks exist to protect consumer rights in the transportation sector, enforcement and implementation remain inconsistent. Consumers are entitled to safety, security, accessibility, and fair treatment, yet challenges such as inadequate regulations, lack of transparency, and insufficient enforcement mechanisms often hinder their protection. Public transport service providers, on the other hand, have a responsibility to ensure service reliability, safety standards, and adherence to consumer protection laws. This study highlights the need for stronger regulatory oversight, improved legal enforcement, and increased consumer awareness to enhance consumer protection in the transportation sector. By analyzing legal principles and international best practices, this study contributes to the discourse on consumer rights and public transport governance. Strengthening legal frameworks and promoting responsible service delivery are essential to ensuring a fair and efficient transportation system.

Promoting AI literacy through U.S. academic libraries: an analysis of LibGuides from ARL and Oberlin group libraries using the EDUCAUSE AI literacy framework

Introduction. As the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly advances, academic libraries are increasingly pivotal in supporting AI literacy among students and faculty. Method. Through content analysis, the present study examines 70 newly developed generative AI LibGuides from academic libraries affiliated with the association of research libraries (ARL) and the Oberlin group, using the EDUCAUSE AI literacy framework. Analysis. Through a detailed examination, the present research reorganizes and improves the EDUCAUSE AI literacy framework, proposing a more comprehensive version tailored to higher education needs. The adapted framework fills the gaps in the original model and offers a nuanced approach to AI literacy, reflecting the unique challenges faced by academic libraries. Results. The findings reveal that most LibGuides emphasize foundational AI tools and responsible use, with less focus on advanced technical competencies related to AI creation. Significant differences were observed between ARL and Oberlin Group LibGuides, with ARL offering more comprehensive coverage. To address these differences, consistent training and knowledge sharing initiatives are recommended to ensure a common standard of AI literacy support across academic libraries. Conclusion. This study provides insights into the role of libraries in promoting generative AI literacy and identifies areas for future strategic partnerships and improvement.

Examining the Optimal Consumption Pattern from the Perspective of Islamic Economics and Conventional Economics

Consumption, as the driving force of production, has significant effects on individuals' lives and the economy of society. Since consumption in conventional economics and Islamic economics pursues different goals and outlooks, leading to distinct impacts on individual and social welfare as well as worldly and eternal well-being, examining these differences becomes crucial. The study of consumption initially began with Keynes and later gained an independent status alongside production and distribution through the contributions of Jean-Baptiste Say. In the process of addressing shortcomings and refining Keynes’s nascent consumption theory, the consumption models of Modigliani, Duesenberry, Friedman, and Barro-Ramsey converged on a common point: people use savings and transfer part of their income to the future to smooth consumption and strive for sustained well-being in their consumption patterns. This article compares consumption from the perspectives of Islamic and conventional economics, utilizing a library research method and content analysis. It poses the question: "How does optimal consumption in the framework of Islamic economics differ from that in conventional economics?" and tests the hypothesis that "Islamic optimal consumption does not necessarily pursue the goal of consumption smoothing but rather aims to achieve both material and spiritual well-being, as well as worldly and eternal prosperity." The article argues that consumption smoothing is not a path that all individuals desire or are capable of following. The study's well-founded conclusion is that, from an Islamic perspective, consumption is optimal when it ensures the material and spiritual welfare of an individual and their family, assists in meeting the material and spiritual needs of close relatives, and fulfills the rights of the needy in society. Furthermore, beyond ensuring worldly material and spiritual welfare, it also provides for individuals' eternal well-being. Additionally, a portion of an individual's income should be allocated to savings, investment, and development.

Educational Pattern of Gifted Children from the Perspective of the Qur’an (Study of QS. Ali ‘Imrān Verse 159 and QS. Al Isrā Verse 84)

Many people still do not understand that gifted children are children who have good strengths and have a positive impact on the people around them. For this reason, this study aims to reveal the pattern of gifted children's education from the Quran perspective in QS. Ali Imran verse 159 and QS Al Isra' verse 84. This study is library research with data collection from primary and secondary sources. The study results showed that in the interpretation of Al Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab and Tafsir Al Azhar by Buya Hamka, every human being has a tendency, potential, and innate that encourage his activities to work and develop talents, including intelligent children with unique talents (gifted). According to the two interpretations, the way parents nurture gifted children must take four steps: being gentle with children, forgiving if children make mistakes, inviting deliberation if children want something, and having faith in God through prayer and other worship.
