Cervical cancer is the first health problems for women in Indonesia with the highest risk of death. Delay diagnosis in late-stage cancer, vulnerable state, social status, low financial status, limited resource and facilities, type of histopathology and level of education determine patients’ prognosis. Fluor Albus is not a type of disease. It is a symptom of disease in female reproductive organs which can cause cervical cancer if it is not treated. Predisposition factors of Fluor Albus are including age, marital status, parity of menstrual cycle, contraception method, history of reproductive disorder, education, and job status. This community service aims to detect characteristic of fluor albus and to treat those identified with fluor albus atearly stage. The predisposition characteristics of fluor albus were collected from anamnesis while the Fluor Albus characteristic data were collected through direct observation of portio state of the uterian cervix. The activity was conducted from July to August 2017 in 3 different areas in Medan, North Sumatra with a total of 40 samples of women in their fertile age. Based on the analysis, 15 respondents (37.5%) found to suffer from Fluor Albus. Every woman is expected to be able to have early detection of Fluor Albus or symptoms of inflammatory infection of reproductive organs in order to prevent complication caused by Fluor Albus by paying more attention to personal hygiene, early screening by Pap Smear, IVA, and IHC (Immunohistochemistry).

The debate about the arrival of Islam in Southeast Asia is usually related to three main issues, i.e., the time and place of origin of the arrival of Islam, and the person who brought the religion. At least, there are four main theories about the origins of Islam in the Archipelago, which are debated in discussing the arrival, spread, and Islamization of the Archipelago, i.e., “Indian Theory,” “Arabic Theory,” “Persian Theory,” and “Chinese Theory.” This study intends to examine the main pathway of Islamization through Islamic Education in Southeast Asia, then the political development of Islamic Education in Southeast Asia, and the challenges faced by Islamic schools in Southeast Asia. This research uses a qualitative method with the type of literature study. The results showed, first, that trade and ulama were moderating variables at the beginning of Islamization in the Archipelago, while the primary variable was Islamic Education taught by Ulama and traders who came to this region to the local population. Second, the development of Islamic Education is different from one country to another. This is undoubtedly influenced by the geographical location, the culture of society, to politics that influenced the existence of these differences. Third, school development, especially in Indonesia, is understood as a social movement that did not only succeed in educating students but also formed a network of social ideologies that would later influence social transformation, even national development. The implications of this study provide a deeper understanding of the History and dynamics of Islamic Education in Southeast Asia.

Indonesia is known as an energy-rich country, both fossil and renewable. In 2019, the national energy supply still relied on oil, coal and natural gas, with a total proportion in the primary energy mix of 91.5%. Import dependency on petroleum and the high burden of the state budget for fuel subsidies are why the Indonesian Government implements biofuel policies in Indonesia. Biofuel development in Indonesia has been implemented from 2006 with Presidential Regulation No. 5 of 2006 to Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 41 of 2018. Since 2008, the Government has issued a mandatory policy for using biodiesel with a mixture content of 2.5%. The Government gradually encouraged increasing biodiesel content to 7.5% in 2010, 10% in 2011, 15% in 2015, and 20% in 2016. By 2020, biodiesel mandatory is targeted to be 30%. Over the years, the biodiesel industry has shown an increase in quantity and capacity. Using biofuels has many positive impacts, such as reducing diesel import and CO2 emission and increasing CPO and labour’s added value. On the other hand, the mandatory biofuel policy negatively impacts the environment due to the possibility of land expansion. This study aims to review biodiesel policies in Indonesia since 2006 and analyze the problems and outputs in each policy and challenge for future biodiesel development.

Kelanting, a traditional snack food, usually made from fresh cassava roots. In this study we tried to modified the kelanting processing by replacing fresh cassava roots with high-quality cassava flour in order to improve the processing method primarily in raw material stocking. Kelanting produced from high-quality cassava flour were subjected to sensory evaluation using attributes included color, aroma, crispiness, taste, and overall acceptance on a 10-point scoring scale. The best kelanting was found in a 210 and 240 min of drying, with the sensory mean scores of 8.15, 7.15, 6.75, 6.8, and 7.7 were obtained correspondingly for crispness, color, aroma, crispiness, taste, and overall acceptance. Scores for these attributes indicated that the kelanting were acceptable. The study showed the suitability of high quality cassava flour for replacing the cassava roots in kelanting processing.
