The Food Estate project in Indonesia aims to enhance food security. However, it has resulted in significant environmental impacts through the conversion of forests into agricultural land. Particularly, the peat ecosystem is vulnerable, threatening the natural balance and environmental sustainability. In evaluating the project's impact, this research adopts a normative legal approach focusing on literature analysis. Research findings indicate that land conversion for Food Estate sacrifices crucial environmental aspects, such as vulnerable peatlands prone to fires and soil quality degradation. Policy alternatives, such as agricultural diversification and ecosystem protection, are proposed as solutions to support food security without harming the environment. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the need for stricter environmental law enforcement between the government and community participation in decision-making to ensure the sustainability of agricultural projects like the Food Estate.

Learning and teaching, two familiar words in the realm of education, are like two sides of the same coin, inseparable from one another. They form the main pillars guiding individuals toward the gates of knowledge and wisdom. Learning, akin to an adventurous journey, is a continuous process of self-transformation. The interaction between individuals and their environment acts like a map guiding their steps. Every experience, every interaction, is like a footprint etched in the soil, leading individuals towards positive, active, and directed behavioral changes. This transformation, much like the metamorphosis of a butterfly, does not happen overnight. It requires time, patience, and proper guidance, much like the mentorship of a wise teacher, to help individuals reach their full potential. Teaching, on the other hand, is a well-orchestrated symphony. Under the direction of the maestro, the educators, the teaching process is meticulously designed, implemented with dedication, and carefully evaluated.

In the Christian context, the resurrection of the dead is based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ after the crucifixion, which forms the basis of the Christian faith that all people will experience resurrection at the end of time to face the final judgment. In the Old Testament, death is understood as the separation between body and spirit. After we die, our bodies will decompose and become soil again while the spirit will leave our bodies for the afterlife, also known as Sheol. There is also a belief in the resurrection of the dead, which is the physical return of the body from the dead. This belief is reflected in books such as Daniel and Isaiah, which state that at the end of time, God will raise the dead to eternal life or eternal punishment. This concept of resurrection affirms the belief in divine justice and restoration, where each person will receive reward or punishment according to their deeds. In Christian theology, the resurrection of the dead provides hope for eternal life as well as complete redemption, and simultaneously reminds the faithful of the importance of living righteously and faithfully to God's teachings.  

Poor environmental sanitation and malnutrition are the leading causes of STH infection. This study aims to determine the relationship between ecological sanitation, nutritional status, and STH infection incidence in elementary school children. This type of research is descriptive research. The research location is UPT SDN 060831, Medan City. The sample was 32 respondent, Medan City students, obtained using the total sampling technique. Data was collected using questionnaire instruments, Body Mass Index (BMI) examinations, and fecal examinations. The data were further analyzed univariately. The results showed that most environmental sanitation conditions did not qualify, such as latrine conditions (68.8%), SPAL conditions (75.0%), trash can conditions (87.5%), and clean water facilities (68.8%). Nutritional status (BMI/U) was most in the normal category (65.6%), and no helminth eggs were found in respondents (negative STH), so a relationship analysis could not be carried out. It is suggested that the school and parents support government programs related to providing mass worm- prevention drugs.

Land, or soil, is the part of the earth's surface that can be used by humans for survival. Land is the terrain on the earth's surface and includes solid, liquid and gas. Things that affect land use are climate, relief, hydrology, vegetation, animals and the consequences of past and present human activities. land use is the process of utilizing land gradually to obtain results and to increase land use value without changing the physical form of land.

This study aims to identify morphological and reproductive characters in Thallophyta and Bryophyta in UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. Bryophytes have high species diversity and are known as the second largest group of plants after flowering plants. They play an important role in maintaining ecosystems, especially water balance and nutrient cycles, and serve as bioindicators due to their sensitivity to environmental changes. The study was conducted by taking samples of leaf lichens and crustose lichens on various substrates such as rocks, soil, and trees, then observed using a stereo microscope and binocular microscope. The results showed that Thallophyta, such as crustose lichens, have unique morphological structures and can reproduce through ascospores, while Bryophyta, such as leaf mosses, have a life cycle that includes gametophyte and sporophyte stages. Reproduction in leaf mosses occurs sexually through the antheridium and archegonium, and asexually through stolon fragmentation. In addition to their ecological role, lichens also provide important habitat for a variety of organisms and help maintain the balance of tropical forest ecosystems. The adaptation of lichens to a wide range of environmental conditions allows them to survive in various substrates and extreme situations. This study provides new insights into the role of lichens in ecosystems and their potential applications for environmental conservation and restoration. The results of this study can serve as a basis for biodiversity conservation efforts and sustainable environmental management. Therefore, it is important to take appropriate conservation measures to preserve the vital role of lichens in ecosystems and the overall health of the environment.

Waste management in Ciburial Village, Cimenyan District, Bandung Regency still faces various challenges. Waste produced by households is usually processed individually, such as burning or landfilling it with soil. However, this method is still not effective because urban communities have limited space. Other waste management is on a paid basis, where the rubbish will be picked up by the rubbishman at each house and will end up in the final disposal site. The mass use of non-degradable and uncontrolled items, as well as deficiencies in waste processing and management, have negative implications for health and the environment. Efficient and environmentally friendly waste management is an urgent problem, and we are making every effort to bring this problem to light. Efficient and environmentally friendly waste management is an urgent need, and we are making every effort to bring attention to this problem.

A shipyard company in Surabaya, which is one of the major industries, generates a large amount of organic waste, including food waste, vegetables, fruits, leaves, and wood. Although this organic waste is a potential source of humus and essential nutrients for the soil, most of it has not been optimally managed. Composting is an effective method to process organic waste into compost, which can reduce the negative impact of toxic compounds and pathogens on the environment. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using two types of activators, namely PROMI and ecoenzymes, in accelerating the composting process and improving compost quality in accordance with SNI 19-7030-2004 standards. PROMI activator, which contains various microorganisms such as Trichoderma Harzianium, Pseudokoningii, and Aspergilus sp., and ecoenzymes, which is produced through fermentation of organic materials, were applied to shredded organic waste. The results showed that the use of both activators could accelerate the decomposition process of organic materials and produce high-quality compost within 21 days. With the final measurement results of both composts, both with PROMI and ecoenzymes treatment, the same pH and temperature values were obtained, namely pH 7 and temperature 30℃. Parameters such as pH, temperature, colour, smell, and texture of the compost are recorded periodically to ensure the composting process is going well. Thus, the use of PROMI and ecoenzymes activators not only increases composting efficiency but also provides a sustainable solution for organic waste management in the shipyard industry.

Indonesia is one of the countries that is the lungs of the world. This country has extraordinary environmental potential, starting from natural resource conditions (biological and non-biological diversity), geographical conditions, and demographic conditions that other countries do not have. The gifts given by Allah SWT to all His creatures, especially humans, must be used well or wisely. Utilizing these gifts to meet the needs of living creatures must be accompanied by great responsibility in protecting and managing them so that their sustainability is maintained (sustainability). Ironically, if we look at the current facts, the situation is the opposite. Our various daily activities, from small to large scale, individually and collectively (society), contribute to air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, land degradation, loss of biodiversity and germplasm, resource and energy crises, and the peak is global warming. The behavior of throwing rubbish and waste carelessly, wasting energy, using vehicles with high emissions, and various other bad activities among the majority of Indonesian people is still very worrying. This is still done by many people who are highly educated or not, rich or poor, young and old, and men and women.

Cooking oil that has been heated three times is very dangerous for human health if reused, but if it is thrown away directly it can pollute the environment, such as blockages in sewer pipes, pollution of clean water, river pollution and soil pollution. This community service activity aims to increase motivation and equip residents, especially housewives, in processing cooking oil waste, which was previously liquid waste that could pollute the environment. This service activity includes several stages, namely the service team planning, coordinating with the PKK Chair in Joyusuran Village, socializing and the process of making soap products from used cooking oil. This activity simulates processing used cooking oil into solid laundry soap as an environmentally friendly product and can reduce environmental pollution due to disposal of used cooking oil.

The number of incidents occurring on the island of Sumatra, especially West Sumatera and Jambi provinces that affect the vibration of the earthquake in Rengat City on a large scale can lead to the movement of land such as landslides and stagnant ground water sources can lead to liquefaction. The purpose of this research is to know how the arrangement of soil type at research location Rengat City and to know the location reviewed in Rengat City, and its surrounding experience potential liquefaction based on some existing penetration test data. This research was conducted to predict liquefaction potential that occurred in Rengat City of Indragiri Hulu Regency with secondary data of penetration test of konus with Seed and Idriss method (1971). The calculation of potential liquefaction prediction is done by determining the number of soil layers, estimating the weight of the soil volume, determining the soil overburden, determining the effective soil stress, determining the corrected confront resistance, calculating Cyclic Strees Ratio (CSR), calculating Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR). After calculating the value of Magnitude Scalling Factor (MSF) and calculating the value of safe factor by comparing the value of Cyclic Strees Ratio (CSR) with Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR) if the calculation <1 factor is safe then potentially liquefaction occurs. Based on the results of the analysis of the 7 locations with a total of 2 cone penetration test conus analyzed in this study in Rengat City, obtained the type of soil structure is not uniform and based on the results of analysis, from the 7 research sites with tottal 21 point penetration test konus reviewed at magnitude 5 to 10 in Rengat City Indragiri Hulu Regency. In the type of sand soil in the dominant study area can not be achieved liquefaction, this is reinforced from the calculation (SF)> 1 safe factor (SF: 1.0).
