The main method to encourage women to achieve gender equality is education. Women have greater opportunities to improve their quality of life, fight for their rights, and actively participate in various aspects of life through education. However, social reality shows that women still face various challenges, such as unequal access to education, patriarchal cultural construction, and limited roles in the public sphere. In this article, the importance of education as a way to encourage women to achieve fair gender equality is discussed. Education not only teaches women what they need to know, but also gives them a critical understanding of their roles and potential. In this context, education must be designed inclusively and responsive to the needs of women, taking into account the social, cultural, and historical aspects that affect their lives. Women's education is essential to building a just, equal, and sustainable society because achieving gender equality in education is not just an individual effort; it also requires systemic support from policies, curricula, and a supportive social environment.

This study concludes that the future of medicine will be greatly influenced by advances in medicinal chemistry, with the main challenges being safety, regulation, and accessibility.More intensive multidisciplinary collaboration is needed between chemists, biologists, pharmacologists, clinical medicine, and informatics to optimize the potential of medicinal chemistry in the future medicine revolution.

This study aims to analyze the causes of bottlenecks in lip balm production at PT Rumah Rumput Laut by using a survey approach and fishbone diagram analysis method. The research method used is a descriptive method with survey approach which was conducted at PT Rumah Rumput Laut, Bogor Regency, West Java. Data were collected through observations and interviews with related parties in the production process based on previously identified problems. A fishbone diagram was used to identify the factors causing bottlenecks, which were grouped into six main categories, namely: manpower, machine, method, material, measurement, and environment. The results of the fishbone diagram analysis show that bottlenecks in lip balm production are caused by the irregular flow of material transfer, long waiting time for the quality control process, and limited production capacity. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to improve the operator supervision system, implement a regular machine maintenance schedule, rearrange the production space layout, and use technology to monitor machine conditions in real time.

The behavior of littering in tourist attractions is caused by many factors, such as: (1) Lack of socialization from the government, (2) Insufficient cleanliness facilities around the beach. People litter carelessly because the trash bins are located far away, which makes them dispose of waste around the areas where they sit and relax. (3) A dirty environment. The dirty state of the environment also serves as a reason for people to litter. The Community Service activity of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Pelita Bangsa will be conducted online and offline (hybrid), located at the Cifest Culinary Market, Jalan Cibarusah Raya, Sukaresmi, South Cikarang, Bekasi Regency, West Java, and also via Zoom.

Red galangal (Alpinia officinarum) is a medicinal herb rich in phenolic and flavonoid compounds, which offer significant health benefits. This study aimed to optimize the fermentation duration using Lactobacillus plantarum FNCC 0026 to maximize the bioactive content in red galangal flour. The research method involved fermenting red galangal flour for periods ranging from 1 to 7 days, followed by drying and a staged maceration extraction using 70% ethanol. The analyzed parameters included the final pH of the fermentation medium, total phenolic content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC). The results indicated that a longer fermentation period decreased the pH, although no significant differences were observed among the 1- to 7-day treatments. Otherwise, the fermentation duration had a highly significant effect on TPC (p0.01) and TFC (p0.05). The highest accumulation of both TPC and TFC was achieved after 5 days of fermentation, with values of 1468.78 mg GAE/100 g and 41.49 mg QE/100 g, respectively. It is concluded that a 5-day fermentation period is the optimal duration for enhancing the bioactive compounds in red galangal, offering an effective biotechnological approach for developing functional food ingredients.

Red galangal (Alpinia officinarum) is an Indonesian native herb rich in bioactive compounds. Fermentation is a promising method to enhance these components. This study aimed to determine the optimal fermentation time using Lactobacillus plantarum to maximize the bioactive content of red galangal flour. A Randomized Block Design was employed, with fermentation times ranging from 1 to 7 days. The fermented flour was extracted using a two-step aqueous maceration process. Total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were analyzed spectrophotometrically. The results showed that fermentation significantly increased both TPC and TFC compared to the unfermented control. The optimal fermentation duration was 5 days, yielding the highest TPC of 1100.74 mg GAE/100 g and a significantly higher TFC of 34.30 mg QE/100 g (P 0.01). After this point, the bioactive content began to decline. This study demonstrates that a 5-day fermentation period is optimal for enhancing the phenolic and flavonoid compounds in red galangal flour, highlighting a viable method for developing functional food ingredients.

Crystal guava farmers in Cikarawang Village, Bogor Regency, face challenges in accessing information related to proper cultivation techniques, from seedling to harvest. The lack of access to valid and easy-to-understand sources of information causes farmers to have difficulty in dealing with various cultivation problems, such as pests, diseases, and effective fertilization. In response to these problems, an innovation was developed in the form of a digital agricultural website containing a complete summary of material on crystal guava cultivation. This website is designed to be easily accessible to farmers and functions as a practical and efficient one-way information media. In addition, this website is also equipped with an online community feature through a discussion group connected to expert mentors in the field of crystal guava cultivation. This feature allows farmers to share experiences, discuss, and obtain direct guidance from experts. This innovation is expected to improve farmers' knowledge, skills, and independence in managing crystal guava cultivation sustainably.

This study aims to provide empirical insight into the interaction of financial factors, investment decisions, dividend policy, and profitability and their effects on firm value using the Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach. This quantitative study uses data from 150 manufacturing companies in West Java selected through stratified random sampling, with data collected through structured surveys and interviews with key decision makers. The results of the analysis show that investment decisions have a positive and significant effect on firm value, indicating that proper capital allocation can increase business value. Dividend policy shows a complex relationship with firm value, so a balanced dividend distribution strategy is needed. Profitability has a strong positive correlation with firm value, emphasizing the importance of maintaining profit sustainability. This research model is able to explain 65% of the variation in firm value, indicating the strength of the relationship between the variables analyzed. The practical implication of this study is the importance of financial strategy decision making in the manufacturing sector, especially in terms of investment and dividend policy. Companies are advised to implement a careful investment strategy, moderate dividend policy, and focus on profitability to increase market valuation. This study makes an original contribution by presenting empirical data from the under-researched manufacturing sector of West Java and presenting a comprehensive model that explains the key dynamics that determine firm value in the industry.
