The need for Sharia insurance products in the Muslim community continues to significantly increase. Sharia insurance offers sustainability in overcoming the risk of economic loss based on the principles of Islamic law. In addition, Sharia insurance can be a sustainable solution in providing risk management funds. This study aimed to analyze the development and sustainability of Islamic insurance as an alternative form of risk management, as well as its sustainability in the future. The general review is still in the form of the products offered and operational system models in the Sharia insurance industry. The systematic literature review method was used to obtain a visualization and general description of Islamic insurance, employing 774 data articles from 2010 to 2022. From the results of the analysis, it was found that research discussing Islamic insurance has demonstrated significant developments every year. Mitigating risks by offering the principles of Islamic law represents added value for the Islamic insurance industry. In addition, five models of Sharia insurance systems have been introduced and used; namely, the Mudharabah model, the modified Mudharabah model, the Wakalah model, the hybrid model, and the Waqf model. However, the products offered in Sharia insurance are not too numerous and are still focused on individual risk. Based on these results, Sharia insurance will undergo development in the future in terms of both the products offered and risk management. Of course, it can also lead to a transition to the development of sustainable Sharia insurance.

The influence of people's sociocultural practices on health has been a major focus in global health studies. In an era of rapid change, recognition of the complex impact of cultural practices, values, and traditions on physical and mental well-being is increasingly important. Health today is thought to be the result of interactions involving biological, social, environmental, and psychological factors. The study collected and analyzed literature, qualitative approaches, and field data to investigate the influence of sociocultural practices on health. The study's findings point to several key aspects in this context. Diet and physical activity have a significant role in sociocultural influences on health. People's diets that reflect cultural values and the availability of natural resources can contribute to chronic disease risk. Physical activity, which is also influenced by social and cultural factors, has an impact on overall health. Traditional medicine also has a great influence on health. Some communities still rely on hereditary medical practices, which can often complement modern medical care. Social support also has an impact on mental and physical health, with strong support networks playing a role in reducing stress and improving well-being. In addition, perceptions of disease and spiritual factors also play a role in sociocultural practices that affect health. Some communities may associate illness with spiritual aspects, while others are more likely to see it as a result of biological factors. In conclusion, the sociocultural practices of society have a strong influence on the health of individuals and communities. Diet, traditional medicine practices, social support, and perceptions of disease are all interrelated and form complex interactions. A deeper understanding of these factors is important in developing a holistic and sustainable health approach that considers cultural and social diversity. Collaboration between health professionals, social scientists, and the public is needed to optimize the positive impact and reduce the negative impact of sociocultural practices on health.

Purpose: This study aims to determine the perceptions of Muslim tourists interested in visiting halal West Java post Covid-19 pandemic has ended. Theoretical framework: West Java is a region of Indonesia that has the potential to become the cornerstone of Indonesia's halal tourism industry so that it can increase its income. However, the government and the community have yet to find solutions to issues with tourism management, particularly in promoting tourism to a larger community. Design/methodology/approach: The non-probability sampling technique used in the quantitative research method yields a sample of 260 respondents. The hypothesis is tested for significance utilizing Path and the Partial Least Square (PLS) analyses of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Findings: The result shows that halal tourism and destination image influence visiting intentions of Muslim tourists in West Java tourist destinations, and halal tourism indirectly influences visiting intentions through destination image as an intervening variable in West Java tourist destinations. Research, Practical & Social implications: This research contributes by examining Muslim tourists' behaviour patterns when visiting destinations in West Java. These findings' academic and managerial implications help design halal tourism marketing strategies in West Java, Indonesia. Originality/value: This study is the first conducted tourism interest on Halal tourism in West Java, Indonesia using SEM.

This research reviews the role of soméah culture in shaping the brand personality of the Sundanese people. Someméah reflects values such as friendliness, politeness, and openness which are reflected in daily communication behavior. The results showed that soméah culture influenced communication behavior, including the use of words such as "punten" and "mango." Apart from that, soméah culture also influences other aspects, such as a friendly physical appearance and a high sense of humor. Soméah culture plays an important role in building positive cultural relations, especially in interactions with non-Sundanese communities. This research also illustrates how soméah culture can be maintained and inherited and identifies the implications of personal branding and cultural transactions in preserving local culture.

In this study, we use restlessness as an input for a rice crisis indicator, since restlessness rather than rice price provides a comparable year-to year context. We outline the significant increase in the use of unprecedented restlessness (UR) as an indicator for rice crises. The UR approach involves a precedence analysis, in contrast with the existing approach, the price shock analysis. We test UR as a new indicator for rice crises at the national level, which can be applied in Asia and other countries around the world where rice is the staple food. Strong indicators point out the effectiveness of strategic government programs and are able to assess solutions and detect rice crises, while weak indicators are only reliable in detecting whether or not there has been a crisis. UR is tested across 43 countries using two new statistics: success probability (SP) and constraint probability (CP). As a consequence of SP and CP calculations, a large number of IMR control charts for UR analysis are constructed to provide evidence that UR is a strong indicator. The optimum validity measurement result is achieved with SP = 8/26 = 0.31 and CP = 8/14 = 0.57. This means that the UR detects and is followed by only 31% of riot events. Since the value of SP is less than 0.6, we can conclude that the UR indicator is not considered valid as an indicator of rice crises at the national level. The values of CP and SP are determined subjectively as equal to 0.6. This is the main cause of the emergence of new problems in the calibration of UR as an indicator of rice crises. The subjective success criteria trigger a question regarding why the value is 0.6, for which there is no scientific justification. Based on this background, we continue to objectively establish success criteria for UR validity. After conducting a risk analysis involving a crisis recovery cost (CRC) to crisis anticipation cost (CAC) ratio, it is found that the probability of the CRC-to-CAC ratio having values greater than 7 is 0.76, which means the CRC-to-CAC ratio tends to be higher than 7. Objectively, it is concluded that UR, which has been defined as rice crisis indicator at the national level, is an important indicator.
