Over-the-counter and restricted over-the-counter medications are commonly used by students because they are easily accessible and can be purchased when feeling unwell. The aim of this study is to understand the purchasing behaviour of over-the-counter and restricted over-the-counter medicines labelled as halal among students in the Jabodetabek region. In particular, this study examines the influence of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), which includes behavioural control, subjective norms and attitudes, on the purchasing behaviour of halal labelled medicines. The research results show that behavioural control and subjective norms significantly influence the purchasing behaviour of halal medicines among students in the Jabodetabek region. However, contrary to initial expectations, no significant influence of the attitudinal variable was found on halal medicine purchasing behaviour among students in the Jabodetabek region.

This research aims to determine the influence of the halal label, knowledge and religiosity on local cosmetics labeled halal. Looking at the surrounding environment, many generation Z people still don't care about choosing local cosmetics that are labeled halal. Apart from that, this research advises consumers or cosmetic users to be careful in choosing the cosmetic brands they use, especially local cosmetics. Therefore, the author decided to conduct research on generation Z, both men and women who live in Jabodetabek. Around 112 respondents completed the survey, and data collection was done using questionnaire. The data were analyzed using software SmartPLS 3.0 with analysis method structural equation modeling (SEM).Result showed that consumers' decisions to buy are significantly and favourably influenced by the halal label. This shows that consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of choosing locally produced cosmetics that are halal certified.Further evidence of a noteworthy degree of awareness of the significance of selecting halal-labelled products comes from the significant link that exists between customers' knowledge of local cosmetics and their shopping decisions. This study suggests further exploration of the specific factors that drive the positive influence of the halal label and emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between religiosity and purchasing decisions, thereby contributing valuable insights for industry stakeholders.

Substance or drug abuse is one of the biggest threats to the nation. One of the main factors contributing to the failure of staying abstinent is the lack of social support from the community. The models of prevention programs are mostly adopted from the Western model, which seems to be unfit for the local context. Hence, there is a significant need to explore new strategies in which the protective and spiritual elements are practiced in the community in Malaysia against drug abuse. The emerging themes for Malaysians’ protective and spiritual factors are useful for conceptualizing and developing a psychospiritual prevention module for the community in Malaysia using the Sidek Module Development Model (2005). The objective of this research is to evaluate the influence of a psychospiritual prevention module on (1) spiritual awareness, (2) locus of control, (3) knowledge, and (4) self-assertiveness. To achieve this, participants were assigned to either an experimental or control group during both the initial assessment and follow-up evaluation. This study employed a quasi-experimental design involving two distinct youth cohorts, each consisting of 33 individuals in both the experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in a psychoeducational intervention conducted in seven sessions by trained staff, whereas the control group received no intervention. The comparative analysis between the pre- and post-tests revealed a significant increase in the mean scores for spirituality (from 172.24 to 188.12 in the post-test and 191.79 in the follow-up test), locus of control (from 68.76 to 76.79 in the post-test and 87.52 in the follow-up test), knowledge (from 28.91 to 41.48 in the post-test and 72.09 in the follow-up test), and self-assertiveness (from 99.48 to 106.42 in the post-test and 119.42 in the follow-up test) in the experimental group. In contrast, the three variables examined did not exhibit noteworthy increases within the control group. The new evidence-based module can create synergy between government agencies and the community in drug prevention.

This study examines the complex dynamics of protective and risk factors that impact substance abuse among youth in high-risk neighborhoods. Using a qualitative methodology based on interviews with young people from these neighborhoods, it illuminates the nuanced subtleties that shape their experiences. Internally, the findings reveal significant vulnerabilities among young people, with a notable proportion experiencing a lack of spiritual knowledge and practice (43%)and succumbing to curiosity (38%). Stress pressure (14%) and initiation through smoking (5%) were also identified as factors contributing to their vulnerability. From an external perspective, the negative influence of peers (28) emerged as an important risk factor, followed by inadequate parental education (24%) and family involvement with drugs (19%). The negative effects of a negative neighborhood environment (17%), parental separation (9%) and type of occupation (4%) were also evident. However, amidst these risks, certain protective factors were also identified. Internal spiritual knowledge and practice (33%), awareness of the dangers of drugs (30%), positive peer influence (24%) and assertiveness (13%) demonstrated resilience to negative influences. Robust external protective factors included the ability to choose friends (42%), the positive influence of family (43%) and the ability to avoid drug hubs (14%), emphasizing the importance of social support structures and informed choices in risk reduction. This research emphasizes the complexity of protective and risk factors impacting young people in high-risk areas and provides valuable insights for policy makers, practitioners, and communities to develop targeted interventions aimed at promoting resilienceand safeguarding the wellbeing of vulnerable young people.

This study examines the spiritual and religious engagement of young people in high-risk neighborhoods to uncover their role as internal protective mechanisms against substance abuse. Through qualitative research, the study explores participants' perspectives and practices related to spirituality. The findings reveal a nuanced understanding of spirituality, with religious devotion and internalization emerging as prominent themes for nearly a third of participants (29.35% overall). The importance of connecting with Allah, fostering inner strength, ethical considerations, and the intertwined pursuit of self-knowledge and knowledge of God are emphasized and comprise about one-fifth, nearly one-fifth, about 15%, and nearly 12% of participants, respectively. In addition, religious practices such as obligatory prayer, recitation of ma'thurat, participation in zikir and reading religious texts, especially the Qur'an, are widely practiced among the participants. These practices are practiced by more than 30%, about 22%, over 17% and about 15% of the participants, respectively. These findings highlight the multiple ways in which religious engagement fosters discipline, spiritual empowerment, leadership, community support and personal reflection, and is thus a critical component in promoting healthy lifestyles and resilience to substance abuse among youth in a high-risk environment.

The integration and comprehensiveness of the halal system are essential for ensuring halal assurance. The issue of halal certification has become a topic of interest, particularly when considering micro and small businesses. Various perspectives have been examined in the study of halal certificates. In Indonesia, the implementation of Halal Assurance Law no 33 Year 2014 has made halal certification mandatory at the national level. This requirement poses challenges, particularly for small and micro businesses that typically have limited resources. Various bibliometric studies have been done on small and micro businesses and similarly have been conducted on halal topics as well. However, no bibliometric study has been done on small and micro businesses in the context of halal and halal assurance implementation. This research analyzes current trends and discussions surrounding halal studies in relation to micro and small businesses. The Google Scholar Database is utilized to ensure broader coverage. The research employs bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review to address the research questions. The study reveals that limited resources are frequently cited as a significant problem for micro and small enterprises. To ensure the implementation of halal assurance practices in these businesses, sustainable support is necessary, considering their constrained financial capabilities

Research on halal has been conducted in various disciplines and on various topics. Bibliometric analysis on halal-related studies has also been conducted several times. As information technology and computer-based applications develop rapidly, digitalization in the halal industry has become an emerging concern. This study aims to analyze the articles indexed by Google Scholar on the topics of halal and digitalization. This index is used to allow for wider coverage and to include articles in Bahasa Indonesia. This is important since halal certification has now become mandatory in the country. This has attracted researchers to conduct more studies on halal-related research. The keywords used are limited to halal and digital. Bibliometric and content analysis is used to structure the discussion and answer the research question. The result for articles in Bahasa Indonesia and articles in English are separated to see whether there is any difference. The result shows that the research topics in Bahasa Indonesia are dominated by Muslim-friendly tourism and digital marketing for almost all halal industry sectors. Papers in English have more varied topics including cryptocurrency but are dominated by cases in Indonesia and Malaysia. Therefore, research in Bahasa Indonesia related to halal and digitalization may cover uncovered topics such as halal bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Research in English may adopt cases from the two most mentioned cases, but with implementation in other countries.

e integration of Islamic commercial and social finance is receiving increasing attention, especially as the global economy attempts to recover from the aftermath of Covid-19. Therefore, it is important to examine what factors contribute to the success of the integration of Islamic commercial and social finance. One form of integration is operational integration between Islamic banks and ZISWAF institutions (zakat, infaq, sadaqa, and waqf). These institutions could offer various joint products, including specialized savings accounts where profit sharing is distributed directly to the social institution rather than to the account holders. The objective of this study is to analyse the determinants of Generation Z's intention to support the program. The Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model is used to analyse the responses of 425 Muslim Gen Z in Bogor. The result shows that attitude, religiosity, knowledge, functional factor, and trust have a significant and positive influence on the intention to support the Islamic commercial and social integration. Moreover, trust also moderates the positive influence of knowledge on Gen Z intention
