In the science and technology currently, also the success development have penetrated all aspects of the field of life, it is not only bringing the convenience and happiness, but also to new behaviors and issues. There are many issues that long time ago was never known, never imagined; now they are true. this reality is meant by contemporary issues. During this time the theme and scope of da'wah only revolves around the problems of hablum minallah (vertical relationship), or in akhhrawi problem; Syahadat, prayer, fasting, hajj and other religious ritual themes. While the theme of other Islamic da'wah, namely hablum minannas (horizontal relationship) is not much touched on, when in fact the scope or theme of da'wah is very broad. Issues of the ummah's interests are part of the themes of Islamic da'wah, such as democracy, the problem of increasing the resources of the ummah, the problem of economic improvement, work ethic and others. They are rarely alluded in the subject of da'wah material so that da'wah seems not to stand on the earth but in the air.

Amid the economic downturn, people must survive. Various alternative efforts were made so that people could still eat and receive education. Especially school children who are very risky if their education is stopped for a relatively long time. This condition motivates the HIMA Accounting and Management of Triatma Mulya University to implement the PHP2D program through the optimization of the Banjar Hall as a Learning Center in the Covid 19 Pandemic Era in Cepaka Village, Tabanan, Bali. used as an arena for monthly meetings.

PurposeGrocery sellers that have entered the online business must now carry out order fulfilment activities previously done by the customer. Consequently, in a context of online sales growth, the purpose of this study is to identify and implement best practices in order to redesign the order picking process in a retailer with a store-based model.Design/methodology/approachTo identify different work alternatives, an approach is developed to analyse the methods used in distinct stores of one large Spanish grocer. The methodology employed is a three-step statistical analysis that combines ANOVA and MANOVA techniques to settle on the best alternatives in each case.FindingsSubstantial improvements can be achieved by analysing the different working methods. The three-step statistical analysis identified best practices in terms of their impact on preparation time, allowing a faster working method.Practical implicationsTo manage business processes efficiently, online grocers that operate store-based fulfilment strategies can redesign their working method using a criterion based on their own performance.Originality/valueThis is one of the few contributions focusing on the improvement of e-grocery fulfilment operations by disseminating best practices through decision-making criteria. This study contributes by addressing the lack of approaches studying the order picking process by considering its various features and applying best practices.

The authors study the use of sales agents for network mobilization in a two-sided market platform that connects buyers and sellers, and they examine how the presence of direct and indirect network effects influences the design of the sales compensation plan. They employ a principal–agent model in which the firm tasks sales agents to mobilize the side of the platform that it monetizes (i.e., sellers). Specifically, the presence of network effects alters the agency relationship between the firm and the sales agent, requiring the platform firm to alter the compensation design, and the nature of the alteration depends on whether the network effects are direct or indirect and positive or negative. The authors first show how the agent’s compensation plan should account for different types of network effects. They then establish that when the platform firm compensates the agent solely on the basis of network mobilization on the side cultivated by the agent (sellers), as intuition would suggest, it will not fully capitalize on the advantage of positive network effects; that is, profit can be lower under stronger network effects. To overcome this limitation, the platform should link the agent’s pay to a second metric, specifically, network mobilization on the buyer side, even though the agent is not assigned to that side. This design induces a positive relation between the strength of network effects and profit. This research underlines the complexity and richness of network effects and provides managers with new insights regarding the design of sales agents’ compensation plans for platforms.

It is the Regional Disaster Management Agency’s (BPBD) onus of South Sulawesi to assist the Governor in organizing regional government administration within the scope of regional disaster management. Among BPBD’s duties in South Sulawesi in handling corpses of natural disaster are: intact Muslim corpses are handled normally, in which the bodies were washed, shrouded, sanctified and buried by following the procedures that have been determined by the Shari'ah. Afterwards, decaying and unrecognizable Muslim corpses were directly shrouded, sanctified then buried. Whilst the large numbers corpses that mixed between Muslims and non-Muslims, were immediately buried and sanctified by religious leaders from each of the existing religious representatives. Hereinafter, the constraints faced by the BPBD of South Sulawesi in handling the corpses of natural disasters include: limited equipment, difficulty in reaching the location and the identification process which requires a long time. The Islamic law view regarding the handling of the natural disasters corpses is that basically, in normal conditions, the corpses must be washed, shrouded, sanctified and buried according to the procedures that have been determined by Islamic law. When a disaster occurs, the handling of the body is still carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Shari'ah but in an emergency situation.

<p><strong>English</strong><br />Regional autonomy gives more authority to the regional governments, namely those regencies and municipalities, to take the initiative in designing and developing a locally specific policy. It includes in conducting agricultural development in each region. The regional authorities in policy implementation have both positive and the negative impacts on agricultural development. Most of the regional governments’ regulations are designed to improve regional government revenues. Most regional government officials think that agricultural development is costly, but it takes a long time to return the investment. This is why issues of importance of agriculture are less attractive to the regional policymakers, especially in supporting agricultural business and extension. The positive impacts of regional autonomy can be observed in some regional governments successfully develop regional agricultural policy but not supported through the regional regulations.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Kebijakan otonomi daerah memberi kebebasan kepada daerah untuk mengambil inisiatif dalam mendesain dan mengembangkan kebijakan lokal secara spesifik. Kewenangan di bidang pertanian merupakan kewenangan yang dilimpahkan pada kabupaten/kota. Besarnya kewenangan dalam pelaksana kebijakan daerah memberikan dampak positif dan negatif terhadap pengembangan pertanian. Sebagian besar Perda dibuat dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan pendapatan Pemerintah Daerah. Pembangunan pertanian dianggap oleh sebagian birokrasi dan legislator lokal sebagai bidang yang cost-center yang membutuhkan investasi besar namun return-nya cukup lama. Hal ini yang menyebabkan mengapa isu pentingnya pembangunan pertanian kurang menarik perhatian bagi sebagian besar pembuat kebijakan daerah. Kecenderungan umum menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan pemerintah daerah kurang berpihak pada kegiatan yang terkait dengan pembangunan pertanian terutama dalam perbaikan iklim usaha dan penyuluhan. Hal ini  merupakan dampak negatif kebijakan otonomi daerah terhadap sektor pertanian. Namun dampak positif dari kebijakan otda terlihat dari beberapa Pemerintah Daerah yang telah berhasil mengembangkan pertanian daerah dan mengimplementasikan beberapa kebijakan daerah yang tidak diterbitkan dalam Peraturan Daerah.</p>

Literature and language play important role in forming the character of a country. Language that is delicate, neatly arranged, and expressed with good manner in various occasions creates lovely, beautiful, well-mannered, civilized impressions either for the speaker or the listener. Therefore in a long time, whether when it is in the position as lingua franca for the Nusantara people or when it is in the position as regional language, Malay, and Malay literature, has played important role in forming Malay country’s character. Speaking and doing literature using Malay that is based on the ethical and aesthetic values not only colour the life of the noblemen in the kingdom palace, but also among the people. The delivery of certain messages orally through pantun or literary texts such as poem and gurindam that contain a lot of moral values, really contributes to the forming of Nusantara people’s personality and character. The problem is that country’s character is not the destiny or fate, not something that has been available on its own; it is a “course” or “duty”. It must be planted, internalized, built, formed, and kept ground inside the country’s children selves. In this context, language plays important role. Language is the symbolic system that with it men can form, raise, and develop their culture. In relation to it, the position and function of Indonesian and regional (Malay) languages must be reinforced: “schools oblige to develop Indonesian and regional languages to become the part of country’s character building.”AbstrakSastra dan bahasa memainkan peranan penting dalam membentuk karakter suatu bangsa. Bahasa yang halus, tertata rapi, dan disampaikan dengan tatakrama yang baik dalam berbagai kesempatan menimbulkan kesan elok, indah, santun, terhormat, beradab, baik bagi pembicara maupun pendengarnya. Demikianlah dalam waktu yang lama, baik tatkala berkedudukan sebagai lingua franca bagi masyarakat Nusantara maupun ketika berkedudukan sebagai bahasa daerah, bahasa Melayu, pun sastra Melayu, telah memainkan peran penting dalam membentuk karakter bangsa Melayu. Berbahasa dan bersastra dengan bahasa Melayu yang berlandaskan pada nilai-nilai etika dan estetika itu tidak hanya mewarnai kehidupan para bangsawan di istana kerajaan, melainkan juga di tengah rakyat jelata. Penyampaian pesan-pesan tertentu secara lisan melalui pantun atau melalui teks sastra seperti syair dan gurindam yang banyak mengandung nilai-nilai moral, sangat kontributif bagi pembentukan kepribadian dan karakter masyarakat Nusantara. Masalahnya adalah karakter bangsa itu bukanlah nasib bukan pula takdir, bukan sesuatu yang telah tersedia dengan sendirinya; ia adalah “ikhtiar” atau “tugas”. Ia harus ditanamkan, diinternalisasikan, dibangun, dibentuk, dan terus diasah di dalam diri anak-anak bangsa. Dalam konteks ini bahasa memainkan peranan penting. Bahasa adalah sistem simbol yang dengannya manusia dapat membentuk, memelihara, dan mengembangkan kebudayaannya. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, kedudukan dan fungsi bahasa Indonesia dan daerah (Melayu) harus diperkuat: “sekolah-sekolah wajib mengembangkan bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa daerah menjadi bagian dari pembangunan karakter bangsa.”

<p>Based on 10 authentic audio-recorded data, the study aims to explore the dynamics of the insurance sales agent-client interactions in transformational China’s rural areas from the perspective of topic management. The analysis of the interactions aims to understand the interactants’ roles in midst of social change. The relationship between sales agents and clients is ambiguous and conflicting. By identifying three types of talk, namely, friendship talk, institutional talk and task-oriented talk, we find both parties are consciously or unconsciously initiating, maintaining and managing different topics to their respective advantages strategically. Through the analysis, we hope to depict the transforming nature of the modern Chinese rural society, where old and traditional value system has been, for a large part, demolished, while new value system is yet to be established.</p>

This case describes the evolution of an IT architecture for Prudential Chamberlain Stiehl Realtors (PCSR), a 14-office, 250 sales agent real estate firm located in Southeast Michigan. Initially, the CIO of the firm concentrated on providing basic connectivity to sales agents and a simple World Wide Web (WWW) presence. Although this was accepted by users and moved the firm forward technically, management questioned the value of this technology. In the next phase of development, PCSR worked to build a rich set of applications that enhance the firms relationships with clients and agents. At the end of the case, the CIO ponders future moves in technology and their impact on the firms strategy.
