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.

The Official Travel Order (SPPD) Management System at the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province is an important innovation in enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of official travel administration. Prior to the implementation of this system, SPPD management was carried out manually, leading to various obstacles such as slow processes, administrative errors, and lack of transparency. With the adoption of an information technology-based system, the entire process from creation, approval, to reporting of SPPD can be done electronically. The system provides features for data validation, fillable templates, and automatic notifications to expedite the approval process. Integration with the regional financial system enables more efficient and accurate budget management, while a centralized database simplifies data storage and retrieval. The implementation results show significant improvements in time efficiency, reduction of administrative errors, and enhanced transparency and accountability in the use of official travel budgets. The system also facilitates better data management and supports easier audit processes. Thus, the SPPD Management System at the DPRD of NTB Province has successfully delivered positive impacts on the performance of official travel administration, creating a more productive and responsible work environment.

The high maternal and newborn mortality rate is a burden for governments globally, considering that the maternal and newborn mortality rate is an indicator of a country's health. Various efforts have been made to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, including reproductive health literacy, screening programs for pregnant women, improving pregnancy nutrition, and increasing accountability of health workers. This research aims to determine the level of interpersonal communication skills required by midwives, pregnant women and their families. A qualitative research approach using the case study method is used. This research involved six informants from three groups: program creators, program implementers, and program recipients. This research shows that every communicator must improve communication competencies, such as listening effectively, keeping secrets, opening up, and empathizing, to establish successful interpersonal communication between midwives, pregnant women, and the mother's family. Empathy is essential for effective communication between midwives, pregnant women and their families. The empathy in question occurs when communicators understand each other's position and do not force each other's will, giving the impression that the other party is ignoring them. Efforts to save mothers and newborn babies are a responsibility that must be carried out by all parties; This is not only the responsibility of the government, midwives or mothers of newborn babies, but collaboration is needed collaboratively so that efforts to save mothers and newborn babies can have a positive impact and bring about significant change with mutual benefits.

Systematically, this paper describes the reasons for the importance of educational entrepreneurship in character building for students and assumes that educational entrepreneurship will encourage students to start entrepreneurship. The many problems of poverty do have consequences on competition in getting jobs because in Indonesia it is very limited. It is only fitting that as the next generation of the nation in the future, students should be persistent in encouraging the spirit of entrepreneurship so that they do not rely on limited job opportunities but must become job providers and creators. The method used in this study is the Literature Review method, which is to review the themes raised. The way to collect information from this library activity is from various library sources which are needed as a source for developing new ideas in the form of a framework which will eventually become a theory. Entrepreneurial character through learning about entrepreneurship can be built through higher education. For students to cultivate entrepreneurial traits, they must start early because truly reliable and successful entrepreneurs start from small to large things or businesses, not the other way around. Students must get rid of thoughts about entrepreneurship, namely when starting a business they must have large capital money and feel unable to take risks that will be faced in the future.
