Parole is one of the objectives of the prisoner guidance system which is implemented based on the Correctional system. The goal is to prepare prisoners to be able to integrate with society in a healthy way and return to their role as free and responsible members of society. This process is subject to regulations such as the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia Number 03 of 2018 concerning the Requirements and Procedures for Granting Remission, Assimilation, Visiting Family Leave, Parole, Leave Before Release, and Conditional Leave. This study aims to analyze the implementation of granting parole to recidivist prisoners in the Class IIA Correctional Institution (Lapas) of Gorontalo City. This study uses a normative-empirical research type in the non-judicial case study category, namely a case study conducted without any conflict, so it does not involve the court. The results of the study indicate that the process of granting parole for recidivist prisoners in Class IIA Penitentiary in Gorontalo City is still faced with various obstacles, including the lack of effective guidance, weak supervision, and inconsistent policies. In addition, there is a negative perception from the community towards granting parole to recidivists, which has an impact on their social reintegration. Based on these findings, it is necessary to review policies and improve guidance and supervision programs for recidivist prisoners to reduce the rate of recidivism and increase the effectiveness of parole as a tool for social reintegration.

This study aims to analyze the role of social media in the spread of Indonesian among students and evaluate the potential of the language to become an international language. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to students at the Faculty of Economics, State University of Medan. The results of the study showed that 87.9% of respondents used social media every day, and 69.7% considered the role of social media to be very important in introducing Indonesian internationally. Although most respondents believe that Indonesian has the potential to become an international language, they identified several barriers, such as inappropriate language use and lack of support from the community and government. The recommendations put forward include active promotion of the Indonesian language on social media, improvement of the overseas education curriculum, and collaboration with international influencers.

The placement of Civil Servants (ASN) in the Mentawai Islands Regency, West Sumatra Province, faces significant challenges, such as difficult transportation access, limited communication networks, and budget constraints for improving ASN competency. This study aims to analyze these challenges and their impact on public services in remote areas. The research method used is a literature review, gathering data from various related sources. The findings show that ASN in the Mentawai Islands often face long and costly journeys to attend training due to limited sea transportation. Inadequate communication networks hinder the ASN's duties and efforts to improve education quality. Budget limitations for training and competency development also pose challenges, negatively affecting discipline and the quality of public services. The remoteness of the area and its vulnerability to disasters are additional concerns for ASN, and the lack of infrastructure hampers their activities. Therefore, better management strategies for ASN in remote areas are needed to enhance the effectiveness of public services and support the development of policies that are more responsive to the needs of the local community.

Along with the development of the times, the use of information technology using computers as its media has increased rapidly. Indonesia is currently starting to adopt the concept of society 5.0 or what is known as Society 5.0, where this kind of activity focuses on community settings that are oriented towards IT-based human activities (Wijayanti et al., 2022). The application of the concept of "society 5.0" has brought many technological advances in various fields of life that are connected to the internet, especially in Indonesia. The base64 technique produces values ??during text encoding that are difficult for laypeople to understand. This encryption program has the ability to convert plain text to cipher text and reverse cipher text after it is received. Several recommendations for the development of better applications in further research can be made based on the test findings of this study and the conclusions mentioned above. These include the following: The Vigenere Chipper application can only encrypt text messages
 
 

Mathematics is a science that is structured deductively and systematically. Proof in Mathematics is important because it can enable critical thinking logically, and the truth of a hypothesis can be tested.  Mathematical induction is a proof method that has 2 steps, namely basis and induction. With advances in technology today, there are many applications that can make this proof easier, such as Python. This research uses quantitative and qualitative approaches to prove the effectiveness of using Python compared to manual proof. The results show that Python not only speeds up work but also minimizes errors that could occur if done manually. With this research we recommend further exploitation of mathematical induction in other programming applications.

Customer segmentation plays a pivotal role in driving marketing strategies and improving customer retention across various industries. This study explores the application of the RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) model for customer segmentation in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business, using Python for efficient data processing and analysis. By analyzing one year of customer purchase data, we segmented customers into key groups such as "Champions," "Loyal Customers," and "At Risk." The results highlight that targeted discount strategies significantly affect profitability, especially for high-value customer segments. Furthermore, the research builds upon existing methodologies, demonstrating how Python-based implementations streamline RFM analysis and allow for scalable solutions in business contexts, as illustrated in prior works by Hermawan et al. (2024). This study offers actionable recommendations, including tailored discounting, loyalty programs, and personalized engagement strategies, to enhance customer retention and business profitability. The findings underscore the importance of data-driven marketing approaches for customer segmentation and engagement, reinforcing the relevance of the RFM model in modern business environments.

Maahad Tahfiz Al-Qur’an Darul Falah, Selangor, Malaysia, is an institution focused on Qur’an memorization for female students. Due to their intense activities, including memorization requiring high concentration, balanced nutrition is essential for supporting their academic performance and health. However, their nutritional intake has not been fully optimized. Initial observations indicated that some students have limited knowledge of balanced nutrition, which may affect their health and nutritional status. This community service program aimed to raise awareness about the importance of balanced nutrition through education, nutritional status checks, and counseling. The program included three main activities: (1) Nutrition education through lectures and interactive sessions, covering basic concepts of balanced nutrition, the food pyramid, and guidelines from the Ministry of Health Malaysia; (2) Nutritional status checks through height and weight measurements to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI), identifying students' nutritional categories and related issues; and (3) Nutritional counseling, conducted after the status checks, teaching students how to achieve or maintain an ideal weight and offering advice on healthy eating and lifestyle habits. The program, which involved 40 students, found that 60% of them had a normal nutritional status, while some were underweight (12.5%), overweight (20%), and obese (7.5%). The education and counseling sessions helped improve the students' understanding of the importance of balanced nutrition and provided guidance on how to maintain or achieve a healthy weight, supporting their overall health and academic.
