2024-11-30T13:21:58+00:00

The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019, (Act) narrows India's path to citizenship and calls into question its secular beliefs. This is the first time that India has been designated as a Hindu country. The Act grants Hindu, Christian Sikh, Parsi, Buddhist,, and Jain immigrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh Indian citizenship. The legislation offers them citizenship if they arrived in India before December 14, 2014. Due to its multicultural, multilingual, and multi religious communities, India is known for its unity in diversity. This article focuses on the Indian Parliament's approval of the Citizenship Amendment Act of 2019 (CAA) impacting minority populations in India and its neighbouring states. Minority populations in modern South Asian countries suffer a number of challenges. As a result, numerous countries create policies and adopt laws to safeguard the weak. Minorities worldwide form diverse cultures and communities. For nations to transform their organisations and cultures into a civilized world that achieves unity in diversity, empowerment is required. Majority-minority tensions are surfacing at an alarming rate in Asia and Africa's emerging and poor nations. This article examines the flaws in the Indian government's Citizenship Amendment Act of 2019, which discriminates against some minority groups' fundamental rights and the Indian Constitution's secular ethos. This research also aims to address issues that have plagued minority populations since antiquity. South Asian governments and majority-minority organisations are encouraged to use innovative ways. Culture, customs, religion, race, color, caste, and creed separate minorities. This study looks into many facts, causes, and interactions in the Amendment Act of 2019, with an emphasis on religious minorities and their rights. Many issues that impact minority communities in South Asian countries are being investigated for their cause-and-effect relationships.

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF OIL PALM CULTIVATION WITH GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES (GAP) AND GOOD HANDLING PRACTICES (GHP) FOR SUPPORTING ISPO IN KUALA PESISIR DISTRICT NAGAN RAYA REGENCY

2024-11-02T22:57:14+00:00

Nagan Raya District, with an area of 52,228 hectares of oil palm plantation with CPO production of 98,620 tons in 2023 (Plantation Office of Nagan Raya District, 2023). These plantations are managed by large companies and smallholders who are members of cooperatives or farmer groups, making it the main economic sector in the area. The development of Nagan Raya's oil palm plantations, continues to increase thanks to the replanting program conducted by the government and the private sector to replace old plants with superior seedlings that are more productive and disease-resistant. The implementation of better agricultural practices, such as Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Handling Practices (GHP), also plays an important role in improving productivity and crop quality. The training was conducted over two days, on September 10-11, 2024, at the Kuala Pesisir sub-district Vocational Training Center (BLK). The training method included detailed material explanations and discussion sessions. The materials were delivered systematically using real-life examples to facilitate participants' understanding. GAP and GHP training is necessary for farmers in Kuala Pesisir sub-district to improve the productivity and quality of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) and to preserve the environment. The training supports compliance with certification standards such as the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO), which opens access to global markets and increases the competitiveness of Indonesian palm oil products. The training ensures that all palm oil businesses meet permitted agricultural standards, including sustainable cultivation practices and good environmental management. So that palm oil products are recognized as sustainable and environmentally friendly products in accordance with ISPO standards. In addition, improving the welfare of oil palm farmers will support them in better providing for their families. Prosperous farmers are not only able to fulfill their daily needs but also contribute to the region and country.

Education and health assessments for the elderly are essential for the community, particularly for senior citizens, and should be delivered using appropriate methods to ensure that the information is effectively received and can be applied in their daily lives. The aim of the health check-up is to identify diseases affecting the elderly in Luthu Lamweu village and to provide them with knowledge about effective prevention and treatment options. The team are conducted to help the elderly understand how to prevent and manage the illnesses they may encounter. Additional empowerment techniques involve performing health checks by monitoring vital signs, assessing blood glucose levels, and measuring oxygen saturation. The activities took place at the Luthu Lamweu meunasah, with participation from 25 elderly individuals. The health check-up results indicated that hypertension, and diabetes mellitus were the most prevalent conditions among the elderly in this village.

THE INFLUENCE OF BLOCK CHAIN TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION OF CONTRACTS IN FIQH MUAMALAH

2024-07-09T00:07:13+00:00

This paper discusses the use of blockchain technology in the perspective of Islamic economics/Islamic finance. Blockchain technology has changed various sectors, including the financial sector, by providing a secure, decentralized and transparent system. In the context of Islamic economics, blockchain can provide additional benefits by ensuring compliance with sharia principles. This paper outlines how blockchain technology can be used in Islamic finance, such as payment, financing and investment systems that comply with sharia principles. Apart from that, this paper also discusses the potential for using smart contracts in Islamic economics to increase efficiency and transparency in transactions. Through this paper, it is hoped that it can be seen how blockchain technology can strengthen the principles of Islamic finance and facilitate the development of a sharia-based financial sector.

ADVANCING HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION FOR ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN HEALTHCARE

2025-01-24T12:39:38+00:00

The integration of robotics into healthcare has the potential to revolutionize patient care and support for caregivers, particularly through assistive technologies. However, effective Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) remains a critical challenge, limiting the adaptability, trust, and usability of these systems. This study explores advanced methodologies to enhance HRI for assistive robots, focusing on improving emotional intelligence, adaptability, and user experience. Key innovations include the implementation of AI-powered emotion recognition systems, adaptive interaction models using reinforcement learning, and multimodal communication that combines speech, gestures, and visual cues. These features aim to create intuitive and empathetic robotic systems that can better understand and respond to diverse patient needs. The proposed framework is tested in simulated healthcare environments, evaluating its effectiveness through metrics like usability, trust, and patient outcomes. Preliminary findings indicate that enhancing HRI significantly improves patient engagement and reduces caregiver burden. By addressing ethical considerations and cultural sensitivities, this research contributes to the development of socially acceptable, technically advanced assistive technologies, paving the way for a more human-centered approach to robotics in healthcare.
