Cholesterol is a type of fat naturally found in the body and plays a vital role in biological functions such as cell membrane formation and hormone production. However, elevated cholesterol levels can lead to plaque buildup in arterial walls, which is a major risk factor for peripheral artery disease. This condition is characterized by the narrowing of arteries that impedes blood flow, particularly to the extremities. A cholesterol screening program is conducted to detect elevated cholesterol levels early and to provide education about healthy lifestyle habits to adults. This program employs the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, which includes planning, implementing education and screenings, evaluating effectiveness, and taking follow-up actions based on the results. The total cholesterol screenings revealed an average level of 181.81 with a standard deviation (SD) of 34.18. While this average is within the normal range, it approaches the upper limit, warranting caution to prevent further increases that could affect cardiovascular health in the future. Regular cholesterol screening can help minimize the risk of peripheral artery disease, thereby maintaining the quality of life for adults.

Iraq needs to correct public finances to achieve stability and rebuild financial reserves, by adopting a program to measure and analyze the current situation and forecast macroeconomic policies to eliminate the imbalance between domestic demand and aggregate supply, which is usually manifested in the problems of the balance of payments, high inflation, and low output growth, and financial programming is an essential tool for managing policies to achieve stability and rebuild financial reserves.Analyze the current situation and forecast macroeconomic policies to address economic imbalances. However, there is a difficulty in applying the financial programming tool because of  the lack  of accurate information systems to estimate the rate of inflation, unemployment, economic growth, exchange rate, balance of payments and the general budget, in addition to irrational fiscal policy that depends on excessive expansion of government spending, with the sovereignty and control of the public sector over the macroeconomy, compared to the weak and weak role of the private sector. As a result of the policies pursued by successive governments and thus constitute weaknesses for the application of financial programming.

This research was motivated by field observations at MAN 2 Payakumbuh City in October 2021, which found that most students did not perform dhuha prayer. The reasons found include lack of facilities such as clean mukena, laziness, and lack of understanding of the virtues of dhuha prayer. This habit shows the low awareness of students of the importance of familiarizing dhuha prayer as part of daily life. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The research informants consisted of MAN 2 Payakumbuh students as key informants, and PAI teachers as supporting informants. The results showed that PAI teachers' efforts in developing students' disciplinary character through habituation of dhuha prayers included the application of punishments such as ruku for several minutes and additional assignments, such as memorizing verses of the Qur'an. In addition, teachers provide motivation, advice, and good examples. Support from the school, teachers, and student guardians is a supporting factor for the success of this program. However, there are obstacles such as differences in student characters, lack of collaboration between teachers, and lack of parental support. One of the main obstacles is the lack of understanding provided by other teachers about the importance of dhuha prayer, which results in low participation.
