Abstract:Households, as the smallest environment in society, contribute to the generation of waste. To reduce the occurrence of soil, water and air pollution in the environment due to household waste, organic waste can be processed…
ed into compost. The purpose of this activity is to increase the knowledge of partners through awareness and demonstration and invite the community to manage organic waste in their environment to be composted. The service was conducted in Bukit Permata Sumbari II Housing located in Pekanbaru. The partners are housewives who live in the housing with a total of 15 people. Activity methods include awareness raising, counseling, demonstration and evaluation. The knowledge and understanding of housewives in Bukit Permata Sumbari II Housing towards processing household waste into compost increased by 23.70%. Participants had basic knowledge about the utilization of household waste into compost by 69.63%, while after counseling it increased to 93.33%. Housewives have the skills and are able to make compost, although the results are not optimal because the organic waste is still large, so the composting process takes a long time.

The article discusses the stability of fixed points using the Jacobian matrix and the Routh-Hurwitz criterion as well as the Castilo-Chaves and Song Theorems, reproduction numbers, and their numerical analysis. The results of the analysis show that the stability of fixed points is related to the basic reproduction number determined by the next-generation matrix, stability analysis in accordance with the theorem and the distribution of the population is shown in a numerical graph.
Abstract:The aim of this study is to assess whether the application of the three-step interview method affects the ability to write observation report texts among 10th-grade students at Madrasah Aliyah Swasta Al-Washliyah Binjai…
Serbangan. This research is an experimental study using a posttest-only design. The population consists of three 10th-grade classes, with two classes selected as samples: X IPA 1 and X Agama, chosen randomly using simple random sampling. The X Agama class was taught using the three-step interview method, while the X IPA 1 class served as the control group with conventional teaching methods. After the completion of the instruction, the post-test results showed an average score of 87.5 for the experimental class and 61.29 for the control class. The t-test results revealed a Thitung value of 79.15, exceeding the Ttabel value of 2.00, which means the null hypothesis (H0) can be rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) accepted. This indicates that the three-step interview method has a significant effect on the ability to write observation report texts among 10th-grade students at Madrasah Aliyah Swasta Al-Washliyah Binjai Serbangan.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the impact of using the mind mapping method on the ability to write procedural texts by utilizing Canva media among 11th-grade students at Air Joman Private High School during the 2023/2024 academic…
demic year. This research employs a true experimental design with a posttest-only control group design, involving 124 students randomly selected to be placed in two classes: the control class and the experimental class. The results indicate that the experimental class, which implemented the mind mapping method with Canva media, had an average score of 81.84, higher than the control class, which only used Canva media without the mind mapping method, with an average score of 74.39. Statistical tests revealed that the mind mapping method had a significant impact on improving procedural text writing skills, with a to value of 106.42, far exceeding the critical t-value at the 5% significance level (2.01) and the 1% significance level (2.68). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis is accepted, demonstrating that the use of the mind mapping method along with Canva media is proven to be effective in enhancing students' ability to write procedural texts.
Abstract:Online learning uses the internet network during the learning process, making it easier for students to access material and facilitating interaction with lecturers and other students. The aim of this research is to understand…
stand the impact of online learning on the interest and learning outcomes of Basic Mathematics for Civil Engineering students. The population of this research is first semester Civil Engineering students T.A. 2021/2022 totaling 30 people. The methods used to understand the impact of online learning on the interests and learning outcomes of Basic Mathematics for Civil Engineering students are qualitative and quantitative methods. The r test results show that rcount > rtable or 0.9998 > 0.306. This means that online learning influences students' interest in learning Basic Mathematics in the Civil Engineering Study Program. The results of the t test show that tcount ≥ ttable is 4.01 ≥ 2.045 so that online learning also influences the Basic Mathematics learning outcomes of Civil Engineering Study Program students. Students' ability to answer test questions during online learning was 76.67%.

lationship between the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and the incidence of overweight among adolescents at SMP Negeri 28 Surabaya. This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 164 respondents were selected using proportional random sampling. Data on sugar-sweetened beverage consumption were collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), while nutritional status was assessed using Body Mass Index-for-Age (BMI-for-Age). Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed a significant association between the consumption of sweetened tea (p = 0.023) and carbonated soft drinks (p = 0.000) with overweight, whereas the consumption of coffee, bubble tea, sweetened milk, isotonic drinks, syrup, and yogurt was not significantly associated with overweight (p > 0.05). It can be concluded that frequent consumption of sweetened tea and carbonated soft drinks is associated with an increased risk of overweight among adolescents. Therefore, nutrition education and limiting the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages are recommended as preventive strategies to reduce overweight among adolescents.
