The halal industry is constantly developing into a broader concept of the Islamic economy, an economic activity that follows the Islamic-based principle. As a populous Muslim country, Indonesia follows the growth trend by aiming to dominate the global halal market. The strategy is to improve the current halal assurance process. Presently, the technology and procedure do not provide enough process transparency, traceability, and granularity of information. To achieve the strategic goal, a technological change is needed. A new emerging technology, blockchain, may potentially answer the challenge. This study’s first objective is to discuss improving the current assurance practice in the Indonesian halal supply chain ecosystem, particularly in the meat industry. The second objective is to construct a traceability system model for the supply chain. Our goal is to propose a blockchain-based halal traceability system model. The model can be enhanced to be a national standard tool to develop the economy towards a sustainable supply chain.

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the effect of perceived quality, price fairness, brand experience, and accessibility towards repurchase intention. The sample in this study is 107 respondents who are the customer of Chatime Purwokerto. The determination of the sample used purposive sampling method. The data was analyze using multiple regression analysis. The result of this study indicates that perceived quality, price fairness, and brand experience affects on repurchase intention partially. While, price fairness have no affect on repurchase intention. The adjusted coefficient of determination R Square is 0,407, which means that perceived quality, price fairness, brand experience, and accessibility are affects on repurchase intention by 44,7%, while remaining 59,3% is affected by other variables that not examined in this study. The most dominant influence variable in this study is brand experience..

<p>Tanah ekspansif adalah salah satu tanah yang bermasalah karena tanah mengalami kembang susut sesuai dengan perubahan kadar air di dalamnya. Sifat tanah ekspansif yang kembang susut menyebabkan kerusakan struktur diatasnya. Permasalahan pada tanah ekspansif tersebut maka perlu dilakukan suatu metode perbaikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperbaiki sifat tanah ekspansif dengan menggunakan garam sebagai bahan pengisi tanah. Parameter perbaikan yang ditinjau adalah nilai pengembangan, korelasi batas batas <em>Atterberg</em>, dan nilai kohesi tanah. Pengujian pengembangan dilaksanakan dengan tanah didalam drum dalam kondisi kering ditanami dengan garam dalam bentuk kolom, kemudian diberi pengaliran. Perubahan vertical tanah diukur setiap hari. Pengujian batas batas <em>Atterberg</em> dan pengujian kuat tekan bebas dilaksanakan setelah pengujian pengembangan selesai. Hasil penelitian adalah penambahan garam dapat mengurangi nilai pengembangan, menurunkan indeks plastisitas, dan meningkatkan nilai kohesi pada tanah ekspansif. Penambahan garam mereduksi nilai pengembangan tanah dengan rata rata 10,76 %. Penambahan garam menurunkan nilai indeks plastisitas yang awalnya 71,76 % menjadi 61,63 %. Penambahan garam meningkatkan nilai kohesi tanah, dimana tanah tanpa garam memiliki nilai 3,47 kN/m² kemudian tanah dengan garam memiliki nilai 51,07 kN/m².</p>
