PENGARUH PENYAJIAN LAPORAN KEUANGAN DAN AKSEBILITAS KEUANGAN DAERAH TERHADAP AKUNTABILITAS PENGELOLAAN KEUANGAN DAERAH KABUPATEN ACEH UTARA

This literatur target to examine the impact of regional financial accessibility and the presentation of financial reports on the accountability of regional financial management in the North Aceh Region. The researchers employed purposive sampling to collect primary data from a sample of 104 individuals. Multiple linear regression analysis and standard assumption tests were conducted to assess the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The findings indicate that the accountability of regional financial management in the North Aceh Region is significantly influenced by the accessibility of regional financial resources. However, the introduction of budget summaries does not have a substantial impact on the accountability of territorial financial management in the same region. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the availability of regional finance and the introduction of financial reports significantly affect the accountability of regional financial management in the North Aceh Region.

Phytochemical screening, phenolic and flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity of Rhizophoraceae methanol extracts from Langsa, Aceh, Indonesia

Abstract. Indriaty, Djufri, Ginting B, Hasballah K. 2023. Phytochemical screening, phenolic and flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity of Rhizophoraceae methanol extracts from Langsa, Aceh, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 2865-2876. Bruguiera cylindrica (L.) Blume,Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (L.) Lam., Ceriops decandra (Griff.) Ding Hou, Rhizophora apiculate Blume, and Rhizophora mucronata Lam. are mangrove plant species belonging to Rhizophoraceae that have been used as medicinal plants. Studies on phytochemical screening and bioactivity of Rhizophoraceae mangrove plants from the Aceh region are still limited. This study aimed to analyze the chemical compounds in Rhizophoraceae from Aceh and determine total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant activity. The chemical compounds were determined using qualitative assay, TLC, and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometry (GC-MS). The antioxidant activity was tested against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Twenty extracts from various plant parts of Rhizophoraceae (roots, bark, leaves, and fruit/hypocotyl) were used in this study. The phytochemical screening of Rhizophoraceae plants revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics (tannins), terpenoids, steroids, and saponins. The highest TPC content was obtained from the bark of R. mucronata (484.39 mg GAE/g extract). Furthermore, the highest TFC was found in the leaves of R. apiculata ( 15.23 mg QE/g extract). Nineteen extracts had very high antioxidant activity (IC50: 2.35 ± 0.01 - 29.84 ± 0.19 µg/mL). The bark and roots of C. decandra had the most potent antioxidant activity (IC50: 2.35 0.01 and 3.23 0.01 µg/mL, respectively). The GC-MS revealed the presence of pyrocatechol (15.85%), antiarol (1.44%), and hexadecanoic acid (1.69%), that act as antioxidants. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Rhizophoraceae methanol extract contains phenols in the stem bark and flavonoids in the leaves with very high antioxidant activity as a good source of natural ingredients for future pharmaceutical product development. It is highly recommended to do further research to obtain pure compounds from these plants.

The Impact of Regulation on Islamic Financial Institutions Toward the Monopolistic Practices in the Banking Industrial in Aceh, Indonesia

The ratification of Aceh regulation (Hereafter called Qanun) Number 11 of 2018 concerning Islamic Financial Institutions (Hereafter called Qanun LKS) has provided special rights for Islamic banking institutions, while non-Islamic banking institutions are not permitted to run their business in the province. At the same time, the central Government also decided to merge three state-owned Islamic banks, namely BNI Syariah, BRI Syariah, and Mandiri Syariah, to become Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI). These policies have potentially violated Law on Antitrust, especially in Aceh Province. This article aimed to analyze whether the local Government's policy in enacting the Qanun LKS and consolidating the BSI is part of monopoly practices and unfair business competition in the banking sector in the Aceh region. This research was classified as normative qualitative research, where data was obtained from secondary sources, such as laws, books, journals and related studies. The results showed that the enactment of Qanun LKS has restricted conventional banking from expanding its business in the region. In addition, the Government’s policy to consolidate three state-owned Islamic banks, which control more than seventy-five of the market share in Aceh province, was considered contrary to the law on the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition Number 5 of 1999.

Penghentian Penyidikan Oleh Kepolisian Dalam Penegakan Hukum Pidana Dengan Pendekatan Keadilan Restoratif (Studi Pada Kepolisian Daerah Aceh)

The formulation of the problem in this study is related to regulation, the actualization of stopping investigations with a restorative justice approach at the Aceh Regional Police Office, and efforts to overcome obstacles to the application of restorative justice in the process of handling criminal cases from a legal perspective. The method used is empirical juridical research. Empirical juridical, namely a study that besides looking at positive legal aspects also looks at its application or practice in the field, in this case the approach is used to qualitatively analyze the termination of investigations with a restorative justice approach at the Aceh Regional Police Office. From the results of the study, the legal arrangements governing the termination of investigations using a restorative justice approach are regulated in Perpol 08 of 2021 which in practice contain formal and material requirements. The actualization of the application of stopping investigations with a restorative justice approach has been carried out 10 (ten) times at the Aceh Regional Police and has been running well in accordance with the internal rules of the police institution. Judging from the legal aspect, the Criminal Procedure Code does not regulate the termination of investigations on the grounds of restorative justice, so that it raises doubts for investigators in actualizing the termination of investigations with a restorative justice approach.

Pelestarian Adat dan Budaya Aceh Melalui Pelatihan Ranup Meususon Pada Generasi Milenial

Meususon ranup (the activity of stringing betel leaves) is a tradition that exists in the Aceh region as a preparation for the handing over of the bride and groom. Meanwhile, the assembled betel leaves are called ranup meuson in the Acehnese language. Ranup (betel leaf) is a symbol of glory for the people of Aceh to glorify guests (peumulia jamee). In Acehnese wedding customs, ranup meususon is an important delivery for the bride and groom as a symbol of glory and a means of communication for the two families of the bride and groom. Betel stringing activities are generally carried out by parents in villages, while the younger generation is almost not involved in these activities. It is feared that there will be no heirs in making ranup meuson so that it can result in the loss of national identity. The solution offered to the problems that occur is to provide meususon ranup (betel nut) training to the millennial generation. The purpose of this service is to preserve Aceh's customs and culture for the millennial generation as cultural heirs. The implementation method in this service uses 2 (two) stages, namely deepening the material and practice in groups. The results of the dedication which was attended by 18 students can be seen from the enthusiasm and seriousness of the participants in the training activities and the success of arranging betel leaves in the form of a Teuku Umar kupiah neatly and proportionally.

Phenotypic performance of F3 progenies from crossbreeding of Sigupai and IRBB27

Sigupai is one of Aceh’s indigenous rice varieties originating from the Southwestern region of Aceh. This variety has advantages in the form of fluffier and good rice cooking performance and fragrant aroma, easy maintenance, and minimal fertilizer requirements. This variety has agronomic characteristics that need to be improved such as a harvesting age of up to six months with high plant stature that makes it easy to fall. A series of breeding processes and analyses have been conducted to improve the performance of this variety by crossing it with IRBB27. The phenotypic characters of the F3 progenies (genotypes T11, T22, and T25) were carried out. The purpose of this study was to identify the phenotypic character of the F3 progenies belonging to (genotypes T11, T22, and T25 ). These genotypes originated from the selected plant in F2 progenies by crossbreed between Sigupai and IRBB27. This research was carried out at the Experimental Farm and Genetics and Plant Breeding Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University, Darussalam Banda Aceh, from December 2021 to June 2022. The planting medium used was a mixture of soil and manure with a ratio of 2:1. The seeds planted consisted of F3 progenies (genotype T11, T22, T25, as well as their parents Sigupai, and IRBB27. The results showed that there were 3 plants in the F3 Sg/IRBB27 prospective to be developed. These plants originated from genotype T11 (plant no. 6), genotype T22 (plant no. 6), and genotype T25 (plant no. 2). These prospective progenies have medium harvesting ages ranging from 122-132 DAS, and shorter plant heights compared to their mother parent ‘Sigupai’ (121-127 cm), with their products ranging from 5.13-7.40 tons ha−1.

Antibacterial potential of leaf and fruit of citrus extract (Citrus aurantifolia) against klebsiella oxytoca

Antimicrobial agents play a crucial role in decreasing the impact of infectious diseases worldwide. Many medicinal plants have been identified as rich sources of natural antimicrobial compounds that can be used as an alternative to traditional treatments for bacterial infections. Indonesia, particularly in the Aceh region, has a warm and humid climate that supports a diverse range of plants that have medicinal properties. One example is the lime (Citrus aurantifolia) which can be used for medicinal purposes.This study aimed to determine the inhibitory effects of leaves and fruit extracts of lime on the growth of Klebsiella oxytoca.The method used was an experimental method with a post-test only control group design. The results showed that both types of extracts contain flavonoid, alkaloid, and saponin compounds. However, triterpenoids were only found in the fruit extract, and steroids were only found in the leaf extract. The antimicrobial test of lime fruit and leaf extracts against Klebsiellaoxytoca bacteria showed that both types of extracts were able to inhibit the growth of the test bacteria at all concentrations.

COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE: ACEH TRADITIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE SDGS LOCAL WISDOM OF ACEHNESE COASTAL COMMUNITIES IN INDONESIA

Dynamic village institutions and adaptive village culture are in accordance with the local wisdom of coastal communities on Simeulue Island to realize the development of SDGs based on local wisdom which is the right strategy in government organizations to fulfil public services. Targets and development carried out with the strength of the social values ​​of coastal communities that have been determined with the provisions of public policy, namely Qanun Number 10 of 2008 concerning customary institutions in Aceh. The explanation in the Qanun is that customary institutions can adjust village institutions and culture that are adaptive in managing rice fields by the Keujreun Blang customary institution. Methods This research was carried out using a descriptive approach and qualitative analysis. The data sources of this research consist of primary and secondary data, interview data collection techniques and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction and data presentation as well as data verification in drawing conclusions according to the results of the research objectives. The result of the research is that with the implementation of customary institution policies, Keujruen Blang handles cases according to their duties and functions as rice field management to improve welfare. Thus, the village government in the Aceh region requires an interactive participatory approach by the village government to coastal communities to grow sustainable village development goals. Specifically, the development targets have realized the solidarity value of planning the development of rice plants in rice fields simultaneously, but the supervision inherent as an embodiment of sustainable development policies is still weak, not controlled by a directed mechanism in accordance with public policy provisions. The realization of participatory village development requires a method of implementing targeted policies guided by standard mechanisms and operational procedures that are integrated with binding government regulations in accordance with an adaptive culture in accordance with the local wisdom of coastal communities on the island of Simeulue Aceh.

Strengthening Zakat Rules in Indonesia: A Legal Study of the Law on the Government of Aceh

Aceh is a province with special authority under the Law Number 11 of 2006 on the Government of Aceh (Undang-Undang Pemerintahan Aceh/UUPA). The special authority is mentioned, among other regulations, in Article 180, which makes zakat the source of original income of the Aceh Region and the district or city. This study is a normative juridical research, that is, a study that analyses the regulations of laws that set law as a system of norms.The data collection technique used in this research is a literature studies of laws and regulations. This study concludes that zakat management in Aceh is regulated based on the UUPA of 2006. Baitul Mal Aceh and Baitul Mal districts or cities manage the institutions that regulate it. In addition, this legal regulation also explains that the amount of zakat paid is a deductible expense from the taxpayer's income tax liability. However, the existence of zakat, as stipulated in a number of UUPA articles, has not been implemented as expected. The absence of government regulations governing the implementation of taxes as a deductible factor for the amount of income tax payable is one of the reasons for not implementing Article 192. This government regulation is an essential factor towards strengthening the law on the Government of Aceh as part of the Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding mandate. The principle of lex specialis derogate lex generalis must be used as a legal argument in order to encourage the implementation of these regulations. Since Aceh is a region with special autonomy, the application of its law must also be handled specifically.

Pemberlakuan Sanksi Cambuk, Qanun Jinayat di Aceh dalam Perspektif Hak Asasi Manusia

A Feasibility Study of The Bubon Port to Improve Maritime Affairs in West Aceh District

Kuala Bubon Port, a maritime axis in the west-south Aceh region is one of the crossing facilities that connects shipping activities by the surrounding community. The need for passenger departures and logistics transportation is increasing every year. Therefore, to facilitate inter-island crossing activities, it is planned to develop buildings and facilities at Kuala Bubon Port. It is necessary to carry out a feasibility study for these infrastructure development activities to determine the feasibility of the development project. Besides that, the feasibility study also avoids the risk of loss. Research This feasibility study uses data analysis, including the Budget Plan analysis and the cash flow (cash flow) analysis. The method for analyzing cash flow uses 4 methods, namely Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Break Event Point (BEP). The four methods refer to the calculation of direct, indirect, and annual costs. This calculation is obtained from processing primary and secondary data and assuming an interest rate of 3.50%, and the project's economic life is set at 25 years. For NPV analysis, the investment is feasible if the results are positive. Conversely, if the NPV is negative, the investment is not feasible. Furthermore, if the BCR value ≥ 1, the IRR value ≥ the interest rate, and the BEP are obtained when the NPV = 0, then the project can be feasible. After calculating, the NPV value obtained is IDR 1,730,821,838,222, the BCR value is 162.93%, the IRR value is 5.25%, and the BEP was obtained in year 4, day 39. Based on the results of these calculations, the project can be said to be feasible to implement. The results of this study are expected to be one of the references and information for the Department of Transportation, Water Resources Public Works, and the Government to plan the right design for development projects at ports. The long-term target is that the results obtained can be used as data in other water construction projects so that they are effective from a financial perspective.

Evaluation of Geochemical Signature in Soil Sampled from a 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami-stricken Region in Aceh Province Located in the Western Part of Indonesia Using Scanning Electron Microscopy–Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) Spectroscopy and Its Compatibility with X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Measurement

Chemical elements in soil samples collected from the area struck by the massive Indian Ocean tsunami on 26 Dec 2004, were identified using scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) to find out potential candidates for the geochemical signature of the 2004 Indian Ocean giant tsunami. All tsunami-affected soils were collected from three areas in Aceh Province, Indonesia, the worst stricken region by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. SEM analysis showed that the damaged soil samples exhibited smaller particles and an inhomogeneous particle size distribution, which could be attributed to dissolved chemical element sedimentation after flooding by tsunami saltwater. Moreover, our findings revealed that the tsunami-affected soil samples contain many chemical elements – including marine signatures (Na, Ca, Mg, K, Al, and Si), terrestrial sources (Ti and Fe), and organic components (C and O). Organic elements detected as oxygen (O) dominated those impacted soils from the Aceh region, accounting for more than half of all samples, followed by carbon (C) and silica (Si). Furthermore, the concentration ratio of a series of elements in those impacted soils – namely, Si/Ti, Si/K, and Fe/Ti – demonstrates values that are exclusively different among the various elements evaluated in this work. The distinguishing difference in the concentration ratios of the elements matches well with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurement results. Therefore, the concentration ratios of the elements are good geochemical signatures of marine inundation for identifying the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami soil samples in Aceh Province, Indonesia.

ACEH FARMERS AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS PROBLEMS (Study of Aceh Peasant Judgment in the South West Coast Agricultural Zone)

Agriculture is an activity carried out as a fulfillment of various human needs, so it becomes an important sector to be maintained. In the implementation of agricultural business various problems are faced by farmers in the Southwest Region of Aceh. The results of research conducted using the Judgment Study show that there are 11 problems faced by farmers with 4 problems being above the average score, including agricultural development assistance from the government such as capital, superior seeds, production inputs, counseling and program supervision are not appropriate and complete ; agricultural development programs are not planned until a good market is available; it is difficult to get fertilizer, especially subsidized fertilizer, and the prices of agricultural products tend to be low and are detrimental to farmers. While 7 problems are below the average score with the lowest score problem being the plants that are developed are difficult to care for. Solving the problem is an effort to help farmers in running their agricultural business. This problem is also an obstacle in regional development, so that it can become the basis for planning in the implementation of regional development.

Peran Bea Cukai dalam Penegakan Hukum terhadap Tindak Pidana Penyelundupan Bawang Merah

This paper is motivated by the rise of criminal acts of smuggling of goods and services in Indonesia. The Customs and Excise Party as a government agency has conducted supervision and inspection of imports of goods both from within and from abroad to eradicate smuggling. The Sumatra region, one of which is the Aceh region, is one of the places for committing the crime of smuggling shallot products. If this crime always occurs every year, then every year the state suffers losses. This study used qualitative research methods. The data sources for this research are field data (field research) and literature (libray research). The results showed that the role of Langsa City Customs and Excise in law enforcement against the criminal act of smuggling shallots was by conducting patrols, strengthening intelligence and community information, carrying out law enforcement, collaborating with other agencies. Many obstacles were faced by the Customs and Excise of Langsa City in enforcing the law against the crime of smuggling shallots, these obstacles were due to the country's vast geography, lack of facilities, lack of personnel, safety of officers, and lack of public awareness of law.

Pengaruh Pemberian Subsidi BBM Solar terhadap Peningkatan Persepsi Keuntungan Pelaku Usaha Mikro Kecil di Kabupaten Aceh Barat

Diesel subsidies are very important for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in the West Aceh Region. This area is a center of agriculture and industry which is experiencing difficulties where everything depends on income in terms of agriculture and fisheries. These two processes are currently very much underpinning production machines driven by diesel-powered e-engines. The purpose of this research is to see how far the perception of the recipient of the subsidy is in receiving the subsidy itself. The 63 samples for this study were taken from the database of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) receiving diesel subsidies owned by the West Aceh District Industry and Trade Agency. From the results of the dissemination it is known that the subsidies given are still considered insufficient and need to be increased and the subsidy recipients state the amount of their income as the basis of the benefits they received.

Development of SMI (Small and Medium Industry) Centres for Fisheries Sector in the Northern Region of Aceh through Community Empowering Around the Coast by Strengthening Networks, Digitization and Downstream Products

Pusong Baro Village and Ulee Jalan Village are two villages located in Banda Sakti district, under the administration of Lhokseumawe City. It has abundant natural wealth from the fishery sector, and has great potential as a dry fish producing village in the Lhokseumawe City area. However, the development of the community's dry fish processing business production is still not good. Problems in the management of dried fish are constrained by the lack of processing of existing dried fish, products that are packaged not yet on standard packaging, marketing of products that are still conventionally so that the sales commodities are small, as well as less qualified marketing management. In overcoming the obstacles of dry fish production in Pusong Baro Village and Ulee Jalan Village, this community service activity provides facilities to the community villages in the form of business tools that facilitate the production process such as vacuum sealer machines, fish drying ovens, oil slicing machines and making fish drying houses . The output of community service activities in Pusong Baro Village and Ulee Jalan Village is that they can develop better dry fish processing, product packaging which has been standardized and interesting, increased ability of community business management, publication of service journals, simple IPR , creation of an introduction catalog website dried fish products as well as uploading videos of service activities on the YouTube platform. With this service activity, it is hoped that production activities can increase to be even better than before and can expand the dried fish market commodity community production of Pusong Baro Village and Ulee Road Village.

Builder's Competency Improvement About Simple Earthquake Resistant Houses in Blang Pulo Village, Lhokseumawe City

The Indonesian region has a very high seismic intensity. Its geographic location is on three active tectonic plates, namely Indo Australia, Eurasia and the Pacific and is part of the circum Pacific belt, a series of volcanoes (ring of fire) that reaches 40,000 km in length, causing Indonesia to be frequently hit by tectonic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. . Incident after incident seemed to alternately hit various regions in Indonesia. An earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1 on the Richter scale followed by a tsunami wave devastated the Aceh region in 2004. Another major earthquake occurred in Jokjakarta in 2006, which was followed by dozens of earthquakes in various regions in Indonesia. The most recent event was an earthquake with a magnitude of 6, 6 on the Richter scale in Banten on January 14 2022 which is reported to have damaged more than 3000 buildings. Simple houses are the group of buildings that most often experience collapse, heavy damage and minor damage.
 This community service activity will try to improve the ability of builders in five villages around the Malikussaleh University campus on simple earthquake-resistant housing technology. Efforts to increase these competencies will be carried out through theoretical explanations using examples and drawings, which will then be followed up with direct practice of making key components that have a major influence on the ability of buildings to withstand earthquake loads.
