(Faculty of Sharia Universitas Islam Negeri K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan, 2025-06-01) Manswab, Mahsen Abdulrahman; Adang, Sonjaya; Fauzan, Ali Rasyid; Chaerul,Shaleh
Internet control has a close relationship with human rights because the digital space is becoming increasingly integral to social, political, and economic life. The purpose of this study is to discuss Internet control policies that support or hinder human rights and identify the right approach to solving problems related to existing problems. The research method adopts a normative juridical approach with a statute and conceptual approach. This study found that internet and social media regulations, namely Electronic Information and Transactions Law, have rubber articles that can be misused to limit freedom of expression, thus having implications for socio-political conditions, namely reducing people’s space to express their opinions, threatening democracy and political participation, including the implementation of Islamic Law in local governments based on Sharia. The researcher argues that a collaborative approach based on Islamic law, which includes truth and honesty (Sidiq), justice and equality (Adil), politeness and respect (Hilm), and preventing damage and conflict (Munkar), can be the most appropriate solution to solve existing problems in Indonesia. This study contributes to the formation and implementation of policies to address potential conflicts between freedom of expression and national security in Indonesia and various countries that have the same problems.

The Impact of Belief in the Hereafter on Muslim Moral and Ethical Conduct
(Jurnal Usuluddin, 2025) Manswab, Mahsen Abdulrahman
Belief in the afterlife constitutes a fundamental pillar of Islamic faith, profoundly influencing both the devotional practices and moral conduct of Muslims. This study examines how this belief shapes Muslim behavior guiding acts of worship and fostering virtues such as honesty, justice, and compassion. Despite Islam’s emphatic teachings on the hereafter, many Muslims exhibit behaviors incongruent with this belief, such as neglect of worship, ethical lapses, and excessive worldly preoccupations. Consequently, the study’s central research question emerges: What are the most significant manifestations of afterlife belief in a Muslim’s daily life? The study employs a descriptive-analytical approach, examining Quranic texts and Hadith to elucidate concepts related to the afterlife. It also analyzes contemporary Muslim behavior through this lens. The deductive method derives behavioral and moral principles from religious texts, while the inductive method evaluates real-world examples of conduct influenced (or uninfluenced) by this belief. The findings affirm that genuine belief in the afterlife serves as a powerful motivator for religious and ethical adherence. When internalized, it fosters a cohesive Muslim society striving for holistic success—balancing temporal well-being with eternal salvation.
Competencies of lower-level community health centre leaders in annual health work planning and their influence on district performance in Busoga sub-region:
(PLoS One, 2020-07-30) Muluya,Kharim Mwebaza; Muwanguzi,Gangu David; Aremu,Abdulmujeeb Babatunde; Naziru,Rashid; Wananda,Irene; Kayemba,Jonah Fred; Ogara,Collin; Waib,Musa; Mugisha,John Francis; Waiswa,Peter
Introduction
Lower-level community health centres play a crucial role in the delivery of primary healthcare services, and the competencies of their leaders can significantly influence district performance. Annual health work planning in local governments faces imple- mentation obstacles every year. This mostly affects lower-level community health centres in Busoga region. It is evidenced by late submission of annual health work plans to authorized offices and also these work plans are poorly made by lower-level community health centres in Busoga region. This prompted a retrospective study to understand the competencies of leaders in the lower-level community health centres in annual health work plan development.
Effectiveness of the Box Savings Initiative for Transport Costs on Health Facility- Based Deliveries:

Introduction:
Access to maternal healthcare is crucial for reducing maternal and neonatal mortality, especially in rural areas where barriers such as transport costs limit facility-based deliveries. This study explores the effectiveness of Mothers' Box Savings Initiative on transport costs and its influence on health facility-based deliveries in the Busoga region of Uganda. Franchisor-franchisee transport model is important in building bond between mothers and local transporters. Mothers' Box Savings Initiative is a community-based saving scheme where expectant mothers save small amounts regularly to afford transportation to health facilities during delivery and when develop complications.
Methods:
this was an interventional study with mixed-methods approach employed for 6 months. The franchisor- franchisee model was aimed at bringing local transporters closer to pregnant mothers. However, the Box Savings Initiative was required for mothers to afford transport costs to health centres for deliveries and treatment of maternal related complications in the Busoga region.
Results:
After the initiation of box savings for transport costs affordability to health centres, deliveries in the intervention arm drastically increased to 70.5 percent and lethargically to 51.2 percent in the control arm. There was statistically significant change effect with the intervention (change average value at 0.314 and p-value at 0.000). The findings indicate that women involved in Mothers' Box Savings and can afford to meet transport costs are significantly more likely to have health facility-based deliveries (AOR=0.117; p-value=0.009; CI= 0.135 – 2.374 and AOR=2.290; p-value=0.011; CI=1.001 – 5.216 respectively).
Conclusion:
This suggests that the financial empowerment provided by savings initiatives directly contributes to improved maternal health outcomes by reducing barriers to accessing skilled birth attendants. The study underscores the importance of community savings mechanisms as a cost-effective strategy for enhancing maternal healthcare accessibility in low-resource settings.
