<em>In the perspective of sharia economy, production activities are linked to humans and their participation in economic activities. The problem is, then, how the Qur'an views production behavior as processing resources into outputs in order to increase public interests (maslahah) for humankind. This paper focuses on the study on how to picture the concept of production behavior in sharia economy, as understood through the contemporary commentary approach called maqashidi interpretation. This study is a literature research based on a review of texts related to economic recession with a focus on maqashidi interpretation. According to the results of this study, several terms are used to refer to the term 'production' in the Quran, such as 'amal, sina'ah, and other terms mentioned in the verses of the Quran in general. Maqashidi interpretation on production behavior seeks to comprehend the verses referring to production based on public interest values for those working, creating, and manufacturing products. In relation to the maqasid verses of the Quran, production behavior leads to human needs which encompass five preservations, such as preserving religion (hifz al-din), soul (hifz al-nafs), minds and creativity (hifz al-'aql), property and materials (hifz al-mal), and continuity of heredity (hifz al-nasl), all of which aim to benefit Muslims.</em>

Summary Background: The global crisis that began in 2007 has been the most prolonged economic recession since 1929. It has caused worldwide tangible costs in terms of cuts in employment and income, which have been widely recognised also as major social determinants of mental health (1, 2). The so-called “Great Recession” has disproportionately affected the most vulnerable part of society of the whole Eurozone (3). Across Europe, an increase in suicides and deaths rates due to mental and behavioural disorders was reported among those who lost their jobs, houses and economic activities as a consequence of the crisis.

This study aims to describe the effect of sanctions (individual sanctions, collective sanctions, and absence of sanctions) on cooperative behavior of individuals with medium trust in the context of corruption. Both collective sanctions and individual sanctions, are systemic, which means sanctioning behavior is exercised not by each individual but by the system. Cooperative behavior in this context means choosing to obey rules, to reject acts of corruption and to prioritize public interests rather than the personal interests. Conversely, corruption is an uncooperative behavior to the rules, and ignores the public interest and prioritizes personal interests. Research subjects were 62 students. The Chi-Square Analysis was used to see the association between the variables and the logistic regression model was applied to describe the structure of this association. Individual sanction is recommended as punishment to medium trust individuals to promote cooperative behavior in the context of corruption. The results showed that individuals with medium trust had more cooperative behavior.

Major environmental functions and human needs critically depend on water. In regions of the world affected by water scarcity economic activities can be constrained by water availability, leading to competition both among sectors and between human uses and environmental needs. While the commodification of water remains a contentious political issue, the valuation of this natural resource is sometime viewed as a strategy to avoid water waste. Likewise, water markets have been invoked as a mechanism to allocate water to economically most efficient uses. The value of water, however, remains difficult to estimate because water markets and market prices exist only in few regions of the world. Despite numerous attempts at estimating the value of water in the absence of markets (i.e., the “shadow price”), a global spatially explicit assessment of the value of water in agriculture is still missing. Here we propose a data-parsimonious biophysical framework to determine the value generated by water in irrigated agriculture and highlight its global spatiotemporal patterns. We find that in much of the world the actual crop distribution does not maximize agricultural water value.

This study examines the "Economic Impact of Craftsmen Statue on Community Base Tourism Development in Tohpati village Klungkung Bali". The core concept of economic problems is the imbalance between unlimited human needs and the means of satisfying the needs of a limited number. Economics should not be emphasized through the point, but it should be emphasized as an approach to explain human behavior (Gary Becker). The economic system is a means used to regulate all economic activities in society whether done by the government or private in order to achieve prosperity and prosperity together. The Economic system can be divided into three namely: a First capitalist economic system that is all economic activity submitted to the market. Second, the communist economic system is all things governed by the government. The third is a mixed economic system that is a combination of the two economic systems above (capitalist and communist). Indonesia should adopt a mixed economic system because firstly, Indonesia is an emerging country, where market failures often occur due to uneven information or accessibility to transportation and communication facilities. The second is that there are still many Indonesian people are below the poverty line. Thirdly most Indonesians have businesses that are still classified into small and medium enterprises that still can not compete perfectly with a bigger business.

From the standpoint of the dominant interest criterion the article examines the justification of the legislator`s decision to apply public law methods in order to regulate relations concerning the use of land for infrastructural facilities placing. The author gives the arguments in favor of understanding the public interest as the interest of the whole society as a system, rather than the interest of an indefinite range of persons or the majority of the population. The author concludes that there is the simultaneous presence in the specified legal relations and private interests of the participants of legal relations, and public interests of society as a system. Both types of interests in these legal relations are important, but in terms of different aspects of the legal impact mechanism. Public interest is important because its realization is the purpose of legal regulation of this type of legal relations, from this point of view it acts as a dominant interest. The private interest of the holder of a public servitude is important as an incentive to attract the efforts of private individuals to achieve a publicly significant goal. The private interest of a land plot owner is important from the point of view of securing the right of ownership. It is substantiated that the public servitude is not an arbitrary decision of the legislator, but an example of application of the incentive method in the land law, which provides a favorable legal regime for a socially useful activity.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world patterns including economic, human needs, and daily activity. Millions of people have been called to stay at home, keep physical distancing, and many economic activities are closed as a precautionary measure. As a result, many people are unable to work and earn money, especially those who receive a daily salary. For a certain group of people such as homeless children, this situation is bad. Without a proper home, lack of basic needs and social services makes them exposed to multiple deprivations. In this regard, in this conceptual chapter, the researcher will report the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on homeless children in Malaysia. Aside from that, the researcher will also explain the roles of a social services provider to help homeless children meet their needs during the pandemic. This conceptual chapter enables agencies who work with vulnerable children, policymakers, and child social services providers to utilize the input to frame special social care programs for homeless children during the spread of the pandemic.

Servitudes (easements) traditionally include the right to use foreign property. Specific types of servitudes are servitudes in the public interest. These are set up either in favour of the state, municipalities or operators of utilities. These servitudes are subject to some specific rules. For example, servitude in the public interest is established to carry out an undertaking for the operation of economic activity, i.e. to pursue public interests. It is needed for the duration of the use of public infrastructure; therefore, Article 227 of SPZ, under which a servitude may only be established for a limited duration of not more than thirty years, is not suitable for these servitudes. Furthermore, these servitudes are not independently transferable; they are transferred together with the right to operate economic public infrastructure. The authors discuss in particular the specific legal nature of a servitude in the public interest.

Despite labels like ‘failed state’ or ‘hub of terror’, Pakistan remains a somehow ‘normal’ postcolonial country. While many problems are shared by such nations, Pakistan’s complex journey into the future needs to be better understood. Among specific problems, militancy and terrorism have been mainly presented as resulting from interventions by external actors, blaming others. However, failures in internal management and (mis)-adventurous foreign policies have also led to turmoil, disrupting domestic economic development and slowing the pace of democratisation. Assessing the scope for future developments in Pakistan, this article argues that presently Pakistan’s power elites are still not fully ready to admit having learnt from the country’s past mistakes, repeating the same to secure proclaimed public interests, at the cost of killing many of their own citizens. Yet, while the overall picture remains one of precarity, there is also considerable progress. The final analysis explores how this precarious re-balancing has been achieved and is being maintained, and what this means for the future of Pakistan and South Asia.

<p><em>Waqf is a form of worship in Islam which has productive economic value. And Law no. 41 of 2004 concerning Waqf has opportunities for economic development for the benefit of social welfare. For this reason, it is necessary to have a study that analyzes the Waqf Law from a productive economy perspective. In this study, using content analysis method, which is an in-depth discussion of the content of written or printed information. In this case Law No.41 of 2014 concerning Waqf seeks to be coherent with productive economic theory. And the theory used as an analysis tool is the productive economic theory of Qutub Abdul Salam, in terms of the dimensions of productive economic goals and the main factors needed. Thus, this research actually aims to find the coherence of the articles in the Waqf Law with the Productive Economic Theory developed by Qutub Abdul Salam. From the results of data collection and analysis, it can be concluded that the Waqf Law is kohern with productive economic theory. The purpose of productive economic activities is to increase the benefit that can be realized in various forms, including: Meeting human needs at a moderate level, finding community needs and their fulfillment, providing supplies of goods / services in the future and fulfilling the means for social activities and worship of Allah. Among the articles in the Waqf Law which are coherent with productive economic objectives is article 5 of the Waqf Law, which explains that waqf functions to realize the economic potential and benefits of waqf assets for the benefit of worship and to promote public welfare. In productive economic theory, the productivity factors of a business include four things: natural resources, managers / workers, skills and capital. The natural resource factor as one of the factors in the development of the productive economy is coherent with the Waqf Law, namely waqf objects in the form of land, buildings or other immovable objects. The productivity factor in the form of managers or workers managing and carrying out waqf assets is nazir which includes; individual, organization, or legal entity. Skill is a very important productivity factor in managing waqf assets. Nazir as the manager of the waqf will receive guidance from the Minister of Religion and the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) both in terms of skills and managerial. And the capital factor in the context of the management of waqf assets is the object of waqf. In the Law on Waqf the objects of waqf include movable and immovable objects. With the issuance of the Waqf Law No. 41 of 2014, immovable objects have become important assets in the development of productive waqf. Movable property that cannot be used up due to consumption includes: money, precious metals, securities, vehicles, intellectual property rights, lease rights and other movable objects in accordance with the provisions of sharia and applicable laws and regulations.</em><strong><em></em></strong></p>
