Used cooking oil cannot be reused due to its changed physical and chemical structure, or commonly referred to as “minyak jelantah”. Repeated use of minyak jelantah can pose a risk of various diseases. Meanwhile, “minyak jelantah” is included in waste that is difficult to decompose if it is just thrown away. The utilization of used cooking oil into candles is a solution to this problem. Based on research using observation methods in Sarimukti Village residents, and experimental research methods and documentation, minyak jelantah waste can be reduced by being utilized into aromatherapy candles. Based on the organoleptic test, the results show that the color is not suitable, while the shape and smell are suitable based on the concentration of stearic acid and telon oil added. Based on the burn time, the more telon oil added, the faster the candle runs out.

The problems in this study are the lack of students' ability to understand the lessons given, the results of the Mathematics learning exam that have not reached the KKM, and the teacher has not applied various innovative media. This study aims to determine the effect of learning outcomes of class V students of SDN 101746 Klumpang Kebun in learning Mathematics on flat shape material using Geoboard learning media, which consists of two classes. The researcher took class V A and class V B to be used as samples totaling 24 people as the experimental class and 22 people as the control class. The type of research used in this study is quantitative quasi-experimental (Quasi Experimental Design). The design in this study is Nonequivalent Control Group Design, this design the experimental group and the control group are not selected randomly. Data collection techniques with observation, testing and documentation. After the pretest ability is obtained, the next step is to conduct learning with Geoboard learning media for class V. So that the posttest ability is obtained in the experimental class students with an average learning outcome of 88 and the control class 74. It is clear that the increase in the experimental post-test score is on average higher than the control class. After the pre-test and post-test values ​​are known, a hypothesis test is carried out using the t-test. The basis for taking the independent t-test at the sig level (2-tailed) of 0.01 <0.05, which means that the hypothesis is accepted, namely that there is an influence of the use of Geoboard learning media on the learning outcomes of mathematics on flat building material for grade V students of SDN 101746 Klumpang Kebun.

The problem faced by the Bmrsign Wallgallery company is that products are found that do not match the specifications set by the company. The types of product damage are wrong size frames, broken frames, and uneven corners. To solve this problem, the SQC method is used to reduce the causes of defects in the product. The purpose of this method is to reduce the risk of damage to the product. The object studied was Bmrsign Wallgallery with a sample of 29 days. The use of the SQC method is accompanied by analysis tools in the form of control charts (p-charts), Pareto diagrams, cause and effect diagrams (fishbone). Based on the results of data analysis implementing the Statistical Quality Control (SQC) method using the P-Chart control map, the largest value of the Upper Control Limit (UCL) can be shown as 0.272, while the Lower Control Limit (LCL) is -0.013. The results show that the number of defective products during the frame making process is still within normal control limits. The analysis using the Pareto diagram shows that the types of frame defects are dominated by broken with a percentage of 35% or a total of 66 pcs, inappropriate size shapes as much as 33% or a total of 62 pcs, and uneven corners as much as 32% or a total of 60 pcs. Based on the results of the fishbone diagram analysis, defective products are caused by workers who are not focused, work standards are not adhered to, machine maintenance is not given attention, and there is a decrease in the quality of raw materials.

The thyroid gland is an endocrine organ that has a dual role in regulating the level of metabolism and regulates fat and carbohydrate metabolism. The shape resembles a butterfly and is the largest gland in the human body (Jamal & Maracilu, 2023). The thyroid gland is in the front of the neck just below the larynx and sticks to the trachea. This gland has two lobes, namely the right lobe and the left lobe that is connected by Isthmus which is a small piece of tissue (Arsana, 2023). The thyroid gland produces important hormones such as T4 and T3 needed by the body for metabolic functions. The production of this hormone depends on the intake of iodine from food and salt (Dewi et al., 2023).

Similarly, “Entrok” depicts the New Order era in Indonesia, where the state employs indoctrination intimidation to maintain power, affecting individuals and their communities. Through  comparative literature theory, this study highlights the similarities and differences in the  portrayal of state dominance in these two novels. The findings reveal that both novels  illustrate the pervasive and multifaceted nature of hegemony, emphasizing the role of  ideological control and the subtle mechanisms of power that shape societal behavior and  beliefs.

Ecoprint is one of the activities of making batik through the process of transferring color and shape to fabric through direct contact. Ecoprint training was chosen because it was based on the discovery that there were many natural resources that had not been utilized, which was one of the reasons for conducting ecoprint training. In supporting the village's creative economy by utilizing natural resources, ecoprint is one solution that can be implemented. Apart from being able to provide ecoprint training experience, it can be used as an example of a business that supports the village economy. This training uses material delivery and discussion methods, a participatory approach and local potential.  The results of this training were to increase the experience and skills of the PKK mothers of Beringin Makmur village regarding ecoprinting. PKK mothers can find out how to make Ecoprint and can apply it at home. Another hope is that mothers can still produce work even though they are stuck at home. Apart from that, the participation method applied not only adds to the learning experience, but also builds a social environment that supports business development. Thus, this activity contributes to community economic empowerment and environmental preservation through creativity and innovation in the use of natural materials found around.
