The large amount of used cooking oil that is thrown into the environment by the community is an urgency that must be addressed. Therefore, it is necessary to handle it efficiently so that it can be used as a product and has economic selling value. Based on the existing urgency as an effort to reduce the impact of environmental pollution, this service was held with the aim of utilizing used cooking oil into solid soap through a saponification process with the help of a strong base such as Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH). The method used was a demonstration of making solid soap which was witnessed by residents of Karang Tunggal village. Apart from preventing the impact of environmental pollution, used cooking oil that is used repeatedly can also harm health, so this service activity is expected to solve this problem and increase public awareness and skills regarding the procedures for processing used cooking oil into solid soap. The results of service activities are training in soap making and distribution of solid soap to the community. It is hoped that service activities can increase understanding and skills in waste management to become more useful and have economic value.

The rapid evolution of digital technology has significantly impacted various sports, including niche ones like petanque. This study explores the perceived benefits and barriers of using an Android-based application for scoring and statistics management in petanque, a sport gaining popularity in Indonesia. Traditionally, performance assessment in petanque relied on manual, paper-based methods, prone to inaccuracies and inefficiencies. An Android app, Petanque Match Statistics, was developed to address these challenges, offering real-time data accuracy, improved workflow, and enhanced performance analysis. This study employed a quantitative approach, surveying 50 participants (35 players and 15 coaches) in Surabaya, Indonesia, to assess their impressions of the app's usability, accuracy, efficiency, and overall satisfaction. Results indicated high ratings across all parameters, with no significant differences between players and coaches. The app was commended for its intuitive design, reliability, and time-saving efficiency. Findings highlight the potential of digital solutions to modernise petanque match administration, enhance strategic decision-making, and improve the user experience. The study underscores the importance of user-centred design in facilitating the adoption of digital advancements in sports, offering valuable insights for future developments in petanque and other emerging sports.

Background: As you get older, health problems increase, one of which is stress. Stress is very important because stress will have an impact on the quality of life and psychological well-being of the elderly.

Objective: This research is to analyze the relationship between stress levels and psychological well-being in elderly people at the Pucang Gading Semarang and Wening Wardoyo Ungaran Elderly Social Service Homes. Method: This research is a type of correlational quantitative research using the cross-section method. The sample taken in this study was 105 elderly people who were in the Pucang Gading Semarang and Wening Wardoyo Ungaran elderly service homes. The instrument for measuring stress levels and psychological wellbeing in the elderly uses a questionnaire. The test used in this research is the Gamma test.

The declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari that he is willing to reduce the rising expenses of managing public affairs is a major surprise. Newspapers everywhere have stated that he will face the confront the problem head-on by reforming numerous government agencies, merging others, and dismantling others. We are still figuring out the specifics. The only information that has been made public thus far is that the plan's first casualties will be the Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the National Examinations Council, and the National Poverty Eradication Programme. It is evident from the announced strategy that the president and his officials either do not understand the seriousness of the issue or are once again manipulating a terrible sickness that is plaguing the nation. In what way would eliminating NECO and instructing WAEC to take on the personnel reduce costs? Or how would renaming NAPP contribute to improving governance value? How does he make sure that each and every Kobo that goes into counted national treasuries? What steps is he taking to guarantee that public policy is geared toward reducing people's suffering? The cost of governance during Jonathan's administration is examined in this study. It examines the cost of government from a thematic perspective, emphasizing its main points with specific examples. According to the paper's conclusion, the so-called clause of "senior ministers and junior or ministers of state" has led to the current unhealthy rivalry and widespread bitterness, but it has also resulted in needless waste of public funds in the payment of entitlements due to over-bloated administrative costs.

Background : Smoking is a dangerous habit that causes various diseases and death.  Passive smokers, especially children and teenagers, are more susceptible to disease than active smokers.  The prevalence of passive smoking in Indonesia is quite high, especially among women (66%) and teenagers (12.7%).  Jambi Province has a high number of active smokers (27.47%), resulting in an increase in passive smoking among children and teenagers.  Therefore, this study aims to analyze the factors that influence passive smoking behavior among elementary school children in Jambi Province. Methods : This research uses quantitative methods with an analytical observational design.  The design of this research is cross-sectional, where each subject is only observed once.  Data collection was carried out through approaches, observations and data collection simultaneously on students at Elementary School 59/IV, Jambi City. Results : The results showed that 9 respondents (13.8%) were passive smokers, while 56 respondents (86.2%) did not smoke passively.  Statistical analysis found a significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes and passive smoking behavior (p < 0.05).  However, the influence of peers and family did not have a significant relationship. Conclusion : This research concludes that increasing knowledge and positive attitudes can reduce the risk of passive smoking behavior in elementary school children.  Therefore, prevention programs should focus on health education and the formation of positive attitudes.

Science and technology became something that developed very rapidly in the classical period and Islamic civilization. And this proves that epistemology developed at that time. Even though in the past Muslim scholars studied a lot in the field of Islamic civilization, with their epistemology they were able to provide the best in the field of science and technology and develop it to all corners of the world. Technology is a source of information today. It is necessary to know that the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad contain many Hadiths about Science and Technology. What is contained in the hadith is mentioned implicitly in the rules of explanation of creed and faith. That is why, hadith will always coexist with the development of the times and there will be no conflict between the two forever. The "Hadith-Hadith Science" application is research that uses the R&D (Research and Development) method and in its development uses the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development and Evaluation) method.  Then this application was developed via the Kodular.Io website which can be accessed on Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Google. This application contains 40 selected hadith themes about Science in hadith. By developing the "Scientific Hadiths" application, researchers hope that this application can be useful for users.
