The problem with this study is that many schoolchildren still complain about having trouble writing essays, texts, or stories. The issue with writing skills is that for students to write well, they also need a lot of extensive knowledge. The objective is to determine the effect of the problem-based learning model on the ability of class X students at SMA Negeri 1 Kutalimbaru to write negotiation text material for the 2023–2024 academic year. This will be done by measuring students' ability to write negotiation text material using class problem-based learning. This exploration technique is trial research. A scoring system for evaluating a person's capacity to write negotiation texts serves as the data collection method. The examination area is at SMA Negeri 1 Kutalimbaru. The information examination methods in this exploration are homogeneity test, ordinariness test and t test. Based on the calculations, this study came to the conclusion that, at the 95% significance level, or  = 0.05, tcount is 38.39 and ttable is 1.66.

Surabaya as the second-largest city in Indonesia, faces serious challenges in waste management with daily waste generation reaching 1,800.05 tons in 2023, exceeding the capacity of Benowo landfill of 1,400 tons per day. Responding to this excess of 300 tons of daily waste, the Environmental Agency (DLH) of Surabaya City initiated the Zero Waste Village program. This program aims to increase public awareness about environmental cleanliness and waste management, implemented through collaboration between DLH and students from UPN Veteran East Java. The methods used include waste banks, composters, takakura, and processing into ecoenzymes. The program stages include sampling determination, initial waste weighing, intensive socialization, and final weighing. The results are encouraging, with a significant reduction in waste generation to an average of 0.19 kg per day per person after socialization. This success demonstrates the program's effectiveness in changing community behavior and reducing waste volume, providing hope for more sustainable waste management in Surabaya and reducing the excessive burden on the Benowo landfill.

  Abstract, Fiscal and monetary policies have an important role in sustainable economic growth in Indonesia. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policies in achieving sustainable economic growth. The research method applied is descriptive analysis using secondary data obtained from various trusted sources. The research results show that fiscal policy, which includes budget regulation, taxes and subsidies, has made a positive contribution to economic growth. However, efforts are still needed to improve the efficiency of budget management and transparency in the use of public funds. Meanwhile, monetary policy, which includes setting interest rates and the money supply, also has a significant impact on economic growth. However, the need to balance price stability and economic growth remains a challenge. In conclusion, to achieve sustainable economic growth, close coordination between fiscal and monetary policies is needed. In addition, comprehensive structural reforms and increasing institutional capacity are very important to create a supportive environment to ensure sustainable economic growth in Indonesia.

Interfaith marriage is a complex and sensitive issue in Indonesia, presenting a conflict between positive law and religious values. Article 28 B of the 1945 Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, but its implementation is constrained by unclear regulations and different interpretations. Islamic law, as a source of law, provides a unique view on interfaith marriage, emphasizing individual rights and the principle of justice. To resolve this conflict, a holistic approach that integrates positive law and Islamic law is needed, as well as concrete steps such as the establishment of clear regulations, improvement of public understanding, capacity of legal officials, individual protection systems, interfaith dialogue, interfaith cooperation, and active community participation. Thus, it is expected to create a harmonious, inclusive and equitable marriage environment.
