Handling of dental disease problems requires that it be handled quickly and correctly, but not all teams of dental experts can carry out treatment quickly due to the lack of a team of dental experts who are in the workplace or hospital 24 hours a day.  Apart from that, the public also has very little knowledge of information about dental disease, so that to treat dental disease, people have to consult a dentist. To classify images of dental disease, feature extraction is needed. Feature extraction is taking characteristics of an object that can describe the image. One example of image feature extraction used is Red, Green, Blue (RGB). This feature extraction is often used to identify or classify an image. Dental image data that will be used in the classification process are tooth abrasion, anterior crosbite, cavities and gingivitis. K-Nears Neigbor is the simplest data mining algorithm.  The aim of this algorithm is to find the results of the closest distance classification for each object.  In determining the distance, the data is initially divided into two parts, namely training data and testing data. After receiving the training data and testing data, the distance from each testing data (Equilidence Distance) to the training data is calculated. The K-Nearest Neighbors method can be applied to classify dental disease based on images of types of dental disease using Matlab software. As a result of the image data training process, 40 image data were input, training results obtained were 100%.

The background of the problem in this research is the quality and understanding of the hadith about performing ablution after consuming processed food. The aim of this research is to determine the quality and understanding of the hadith. This is a qualitative research conducted through library research method, using the takhrij hadith approach with contextual approach. The hadiths are then evaluated to determine their quality. The understanding of these hadiths is then extracted from various books of Hadith commentary. Furthermore, the hadiths are interpreted using a contextual approach by understanding the context, situation, and purpose of the Prophet's hadith. The result of this research is that the hadith about performing ablution after consuming processed food is considered authentic (sahih) in terms of quality, but there are differences in its sources, some are marfu' (directly attributed to the Prophet) and some are mauquf (attributed to a companion). In understanding the hadith about performing ablution after consuming processed food, according to the scholars of Salaf, eating something that has been touched by fire does not nullify ablution, while another group believes that it is obligatory to perform ablution according to sharia because of touching something that has been touched by fire. The hadith that explains this command is to be understood as a sunnah (recommended) and not as an obligation.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative technology that makes our environment smarter, with IoT devices as an integral part of home automation. Smart home systems are becoming increasingly popular as an IoT service in the home that connects via a network. Due to the security weakness of many devices, the malware is targeting IoT devices. After being infected with malicious attacks on smart devices, they act like bots that the intruders can control. Machine learning methods can assist in improving the attack detection process for these devices. However, the irrelevant features raise the computation time as well as affect the detection accuracy in the processing with many features. We proposed a machine learning-based IoT security framework using feature correlation. The feature extraction scheme, one-hot feature encoding, correlation feature selection, and attack detection implement an active detection mechanism. The results show that the implemented framework is not only for effective detection but also for lightweight performance. The proposed system outperforms the results with the selected features, which have almost 100% detection accuracy. It is also approved that the proposed system using CART is more suitable in terms of processing time and detection accuracy.

The increasing use of conventional medical supplies has led to significant environmental challenges due to waste accumulation and the chemical exposure risks faced by healthcare workers. Despite ongoing efforts to adopt environmentally friendly materials, there is a lack of comprehensive studies that combine Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) with direct monitoring of worker exposure. This study aims to compare the environmental and health impacts of biodegradable versus conventional medical supplies by assessing their life-cycle stages, energy consumption, carbon footprint, and hazardous exposure risks. A novel comparative approach was adopted, integrating LCA to evaluate raw material extraction, production, usage, and disposal processes, alongside monitoring the occupational exposure to chemical residues from medical supplies. The results indicate that biodegradable medical supplies reduce environmental footprint by approximately 40%, lower energy consumption, and generate less waste compared to conventional plastics. Additionally, the study shows that biodegradable materials pose a significantly reduced risk of chemical exposure to healthcare workers, offering a safer alternative. However, biodegradable materials present limitations, such as availability, durability, and higher initial costs, which need to be addressed for widespread implementation. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating sustainable practices in healthcare settings, offering actionable insights for hospital management and regulatory bodies. Future research is recommended to further explore the cost-effectiveness of biodegradable materials, conduct large-scale trials, and investigate alternative material types. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on environmental sustainability and occupational safety in healthcare, providing a valuable framework for future policy and operational decisions.
