Porous concrete is commonly used in road linings with minimal traffic, parking areas, pedestrian paths, and parks. The strength of porous concrete depends on the size of the aggregate and the correct composition of water and cement. The objective of the study was to analyse the effect of cement water factor in uniformly graded porous concrete on compressive strength and permeability in uniformly graded porous concrete on permeability values. The relationship between the compressive strength of concrete tends to decrease as the value of cement water factor increases. The water-cement factor strongly influences the permeability value. The greater the value of cement water factor, the smaller the permeability of uniformly graded porous concrete, this is due to the deposition of cement water at the base of the slab. The use of super plasticizer (SP) in porous concrete accelerates the pavement process, but does not improve permeability. cement water factor 0.35 with a 28-day treatment period obtained a Slump test value of 178 mm, cement water factor 0.5 of 192 mm, cement water factor 0.6 with a 28-day treatment period obtained a Slump test value of 196 mm. while porous concrete with a cement water factor of 0.35 has an average compressive strength of 6.13 Mpa, while a cement water factor of 0.50 has an average compressive strength of 5.47 Mpa, and a cement water factor of 0.60 has an average compressive strength of 5.00 Mpa.

The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing technologies has introduced new security challenges due to the distributed, heterogeneous, and dynamic nature of these environments. Conventional static security mechanisms, such as rulebased authentication and fixed trust models, are often inadequate for addressing evolving threats and abnormal behaviors in largescale IoT systems. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes a machine learningbased trust evaluation framework for enhancing security in distributed IoT environments. The proposed approach dynamically assesses the trustworthiness of IoT nodes by analyzing behavioral and interactionbased features collected at the edge layer. Machine learning models are trained to classify nodes into trusted and malicious categories and continuously update trust values in response to changing network conditions. Based on the predicted trust levels, adaptive security decisions are enforced to allow or restrict node participation in data sharing and computation processes. A quantitative experimental evaluation is conducted using simulated distributed IoT scenarios that include both normal and malicious behaviors. The performance of the proposed framework is evaluated using standard metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1score, and detection effectiveness, and is compared against conventional static trust and rulebased security mechanisms. The results demonstrate that the proposed machine learningbased trust evaluation approach achieves significantly higher detection accuracy and robustness while maintaining low computational overhead. Overall, the findings confirm that integrating machine learning into trust management provides an effective and scalable solution for securing distributed IoT systems under dynamic and adversarial conditions.

The skin is the widest organ that makes up the human body which is the outermost and covers the entire surface of the body. The outermost location causes the skin to receive stimulation for the first time such as touch stimulation, pain, or bad influences from outside. This causes the skin to stretch due to disease. One of the most common skin diseases suffered by people is acne. Acne occurs generally triggered by the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes (gram positive bacteria). Effective acne treatment can use antibiotics, but inappropriate use of antibiotics can lead to resistance. Therefore it is necessary to have alternative therapies from plants that have the potential as antibacterial. One of the natural ingredients from plants that have antibacterial properties is mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn.)This research was conducted using a descriptive experimental method with the aim of knowing the presence of antibacterial activity in cream preparations of ethanol extract of mangosteen rind (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) against Propionibacterium acnes bacteria as seen from the inhibition of bacteria with varying concentrations of 10%, 15% and 25% by using paper disc diffusion method and solid liquid dilution method. The positive control used clindamycin cream and the negative control used 1% DMSO. Analysis of the diameter of the inhibition data was carried out using the One Way ANOVA test. The preparation formulation that has the largest diameter in the diffusion test is F3 with a concentration of 25% with an average inhibition of 6.36 in the medium category.  The MIC and KBM values in the dilution method were at a concentration of 12.5%. The results of a normally distributed One Way ANOVA are measured with a value (P> 0.05). Mangosteen peel extract (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) has antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes bacteria.

This study explores the impact of religious values on Muslim consumers' behavior toward green financing and eco-friendly products within the framework of Islamic economics. The research utilized a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey method, surveying 250 Muslim consumers from urban areas in Indonesia. A structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale was employed to measure religiosity and eco-friendly purchasing behavior. The multiple regression analysis showed that religiosity significantly influences green purchasing behavior, with higher religiosity scores correlating with greater engagement in environmentally conscious purchasing decisions. Additionally, the t-test and ANOVA revealed significant differences between Sharia-compliant and non-Sharia-compliant groups, with the Sharia-compliant group exhibiting stronger eco-friendly purchasing behavior. These findings suggest that Islamic principles related to environmental stewardship, such as Khalifa (guardianship of the earth) and Israf (avoiding wastefulness), play a significant role in shaping consumer attitudes toward sustainability. The study concludes that religious values are a crucial determinant of green purchasing behavior and that incorporating these values into sustainability initiatives can effectively promote eco-friendly behavior, especially in communities where religion plays a central role. Policymakers and educators can leverage religious frameworks to foster sustainability and encourage more responsible consumer behavior in Muslim-majority communities.

The importance of Christian learning and formation became very significant, especially in the era of an independent curriculum that emphasized character development as the core of education. This process is more than just moral and intellectual formation, but it is a step towards transformation into a "new man" influenced by the Holy Spirit. Involving the values of the Kingdom of God such as love, justice, and peace in the building of Christian character is important. An independent curriculum provides an opportunity to unify Christian character building by rooting the values of the Kingdom of God, forming customs that support mission, and developing character that reflects Christ. The importance of Christian character-building in education must not be overlooked, for it forms not only extraordinary individuals, but also individuals who are ready to be God's instruments in the realization of His mission in the world..
