Body composition refers to the various components that make up a person's body weight, such as lean mass (muscle, water, bones, ligaments, and tendons) and fat mass. As we age, significant changes occur in body composition, including increased fat mass and decreased muscle and bone mass, which often leads to sarcopenic obesity. This condition, which is common in older adults, is associated with frailty, disability, metabolic syndrome, reduced survival rates in certain cancers, and osteopenia/osteoporosis. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) method to measure the body composition of elderly participants at Hana Nursing Home, South Tangerang. A total of 40 participants underwent body composition examinations. The examination results showed that the average total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and skeletal muscle mass were 36.7% each; 8%; 27.6%; and 20.7%. We need to carry out routine body composition checks for early detection to provide timely management, ultimately improving long-term public health.

Aging is associated with significant changes in body composition, specifically a decrease in lean body mass and an increase in fat mass. These changes contribute to the prevalence of obesity and sarcopenia in the elderly population, impacting quality of life, morbidity and mortality. A complex interaction between hormonal decline, chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and reduced physical activity underlies these changes. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) methodology to screen for obesity and sarcopenia in the elderly at St. Mary's Church, Francis of Assisi. We use Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to measure body composition, which includes total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and muscle mass. Among 32 participants, the average total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and muscle mass were 36.5% each; 9.6%; 9.68%; and 21.5%. Body composition assessment using BIA is very important in managing the elderly's health. Preventive strategies, including tailored exercise programmes, nutritional counselling, and lifestyle modifications, are essential to maintain muscle mass and prevent excessive fat deposition, thereby improving quality of life and reducing morbidity and mortality.

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.

The shipbuilding industry produces organic and inorganic waste. The organic waste produced by the shipbuilding industry is dry leaves, dry grass, dry wood and other dry materials. Organic waste management is becoming increasingly important in this industry because the industry's very rapid growth has the potential to increase negative environmental impacts if not handled properly. Utilizing organic waste into fertilizer is an activity that can be carried out with the aim of reducing waste around the shipyard industrial environment. This organic fertilizer is made using a simple composting method so that it can be applied in this industry. The composting process involves 2 different treatments, namely the first is an activator solution in the form of a mixture of ecoenzymes, water and sugar solution and the second is using Effective Microorganism 4 (EM 4). The results of the research showed that these two treatments produced a pH that was not much different, namely 6.9 for EM4 and a pH of 7 for the ecoenzymes activator. The temperature of the compost produced in the ecoenzymes mixture treatment was 300C and in the EM4 treatment was 300C. This shows that the activity of decomposing microorganisms is running well.    

Shipbuilding industrial companies still produce a number of organic waste in the form of twigs, grass and leaves. In line with developments in the current era, organic waste that accumulates will become an issue for the environment if it is not managed properly. This activity was carried out to overcome the problem of organic waste in the shipbuilding industry, by utilizing organic waste for composting. Composting is a simple anaerobic method that can be easily carried out in the shipbuilding industry. This method turns organic waste into compost by carrying out a fermentation process. Organic waste in the form of leaves that are turned into compost can increase the nutrient content in the soil. The composting process is carried out using two different activator materials, namely using Effective Microorganisms 4 (EM 4) and Promoting Microbes (PROMI). The results of the compost research carried out have met the quality standards according to SNI 19-7030-2004. The final results of these two treatments are not too different, the pH resulting from the EM4 activator treatment is 6.9 and the pH from the PROMI activator treatment is 7. The temperature value for both does not exceed the ground water temperature, namely the final temperature of the EM4 activator treatment is 29.9oC and from PROMI activator treatment of 30oC. The observation results show that of the two activators EM4 and PROMI, the one that is more effectively used for composting is the EM4 activator because the microorganism content in EM4 has more classifications compared to the PROMI activator.    

The cereal products available in the market mostly focus only on practicality and ignore the nutritional content. It is necessary to increase the nutritional content of these products by using local Indonesian raw materials such as sweet potatoes and corn.  The objectives of this study are: 1) to determine the effect of temperature and proportion of purple sweet potato flour and corn flour on the characteristics of cereals produced, 2) to assess the level of preference of panelists for the physical, chemical and sensory qualities of cereals produced.

The waste piles in the landfill pose a higher environmental hazard compared to the waste at its source due to the potential formation of leachate and air emissions. Consequently, waste management from the source is essential to minimize the amount of waste in the landfill. The waste management methods at each location typically vary based on the composition, characteristics, and quantity of waste present in that specific area. In this study, an analysis of waste piles at facility X was conducted through the process of sorting and weighing the waste during October 2023, with the objective of providing research findings that can be utilized to determine suitable waste management options for the location. The research revealed that the dominating composition of the waste consists of organic waste, with garden waste accounting for 55.95% and food residue comprising 10.75%. Composting was selected as the recommended alternative for waste treatment in the area. Garden waste, primarily composed of dry leaves, is suggested to be treated using the pile composting method, while food residue is suggested to be treated through a combination of Black Soldier Fly larvae biotechnology and Takakura composting.

Rocks are naturally formed solid objects which are a collection of minerals, both similar and dissimilar, in certain proportions. Minerals are the building blocks of each type of rock. In the beginning, rocks came from magma. The types of rock that exist include pyroclastic rocks. Pyroclastic rocks contain contents that are of economic value and useful for human life. The type of method used is a qualitative research method. The data collection technique in this method is the literature study method. The method in this research focuses on in-depth observations from various reading sources such as books and scientific journals. Pyroclastic rocks are rocks formed by the lithification process of loose materials thrown from volcanic centers in explosive eruptions, which are then transported through the media of gas, wind and then deposited on dry land or in bodies of water. In fact, pyroclastics are almost the same as sedimentary rocks, but the difference is that sedimentary rocks come from the weathering of previous rocks. Meanwhile, pyroclastic rocks come from volcanic eruptions, meaning there is no weathering process.

Tujuan dari riset ini adalah untuk menguraikan proses pembentukan verba dalam bahasa Arab dan bahasa Indonesia, menganalisis perbedaan antara keduanya, dan menjelaskan implikasi dari perbedaan tersebut. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari sumber tertulis, baik yang terpublikasi dalam artikel, makalah, buku, maupun tulisan lain yang terkait dengan pembentukan kata kerja dalam bahasa Arab dan bahasa Indonesia, serta pembelajaran bahasa Arab. Metode pengumpulan data yang diterapkan mengacu pada pencatatan teknis. Data yang terkumpul kemudian dianalisis melalui pendekatan analisis kontrastif. Hasil penelitian ini menggambarkan bahwa pembentukan verba dalam bahasa Arab terjadi melalui modifikasi internal dan afiksasi, sementara dalam bahasa Indonesia, proses tersebut melibatkan afiksasi, reduplikasi, dan komposisi. Perbedaan yang paling mencolok antara keduanya adalah bahwa pembentukan verba dalam bahasa Arab selalu terkait dengan elemen waktu, kuantitas, dan jenis kelamin. Sementara itu, pembentukan verba dalam bahasa Indonesia tidak memiliki keterkaitan dengan waktu dan jenis kelamin, sehingga konsep semantik terkait waktu, kuantitas, dan jenis kelamin diwakili secara leksikal oleh kata kerja yang menyertainya.
