This study aimed to identify aspects and relationships between aspects and sub-aspects of Food Biodiversity Conservation (FBC) management to meet the nutritional needs of students in schools. The research findings are new, as there is a lack of literature that can be used to solve current problems regarding the plan to implement free nutritious meals in schools with limited infrastructure, facilities, and budget conditions. The results of this study are expected to help overcome the major problems faced by the Indonesian community and government, and improve student nutrition in Indonesian schools. The results of this study propose a conceptual model of the “triangle and five pillars of food biodiversity conservation management aspects in schools”. This study was exploratory and used mixed methods. The research subjects were teachers, principals, non-teaching work teams, and supervisors in schools that have implemented Food Biodiversity Conservation (FBC) to meet students’ nutritional needs. The samples were sequentially determined and gradually reduced according to the criteria. Questionnaires, observation sheets, and workshops were used. Data validation was performed using triangulating methods, namely, surveys, interviews, workshops, and triangulating sources, including teachers, principals, non-teaching FBC working teams, and school supervisors. MAXQDA-2020 was used for the data analysis. The results revealed three aspects of FBC in schools: philosophy, policy, and implementation. The dominant sub-aspects were obtained from three aspects: curriculum, principal, work team, innovation, and collaboration.
Keywords: conservation, biodiversity, food, nutrition, school.

This paper intends to build a Synthetic Unit Hydrograph based on watershed characteristics, not from rainfall and runoff data. The geomorphology parameter from the synthetic unit hydrograph model is the most useful approach for predicting run-off and the simplest method for understanding the different hydrology behaviors of watersheds, mainly in ungauged watersheds or those with a lack of data. This research was conducted in 10 sub-watersheds in Indonesia that were completed using an automatic water level recorder (AWLR) and an automatic rainfall recorder (ARR). The methodology consists of data collection of watershed characteristic parameter hydrology, feature selection using genetic algorithm (GA), processing the initial data, assessment of SVR model by optimal subset model, hyperparameter tuning using particle swarm optimization (PSO), building Model of Support Vector Regression (SVR), and evaluation model. The results are as follows: 1) formulation of peak discharge: f(X) = 1.1627 X1 + (-0.5060 X2) + (-0.0315 X3) + (-0.1493 X4 + 0.0775 X5 + (-0.0340 X6); 2) formulation of time to peak: f(X) = (-0.8013) X1 + 0.9282 X2 + 0.0162 X3 + 0.5461 X4; and 3)formulation of time base: f(X) = 0.1771 X1 + 0.3323 X2 + 0.1128 X3 + 0.7149 X4; explanation: X1 = watershed area; X2 = river length; X3 = river slope; X4 = river drainage density; X5 = watershed shape; and X6 = run-off coefficient.
Keywords: Synthetic unit hydrograph, model, watershed characteristic, peak discharge, time to peak, time base.

This study determines the trends and perspectives regarding the development of communication skills in Colombian early education. For this purpose, a documentary review was established in different databases and digital repositories based on the following theoretical bases: principles of early education, pedagogical practices associated with communicative skills, and cognitive development for learning in preschool. The literature review process includes a first stage focused on qualitative data collection and analysis. Through an exhaustive review of various databases and digital repositories, the theoretical foundations and basic principles of early education and pedagogical practices related to communication skills and cognitive development for learning at preschool level will be explored. In this step, the search and selection of articles according to the research topic begin, focusing on the criteria of originality, sufficiency, and quality. As a result of this process, a cultural identity emerges that allows children to see themselves as autonomous individuals who are simultaneously part of a family and a wider culture.
Keywords: Identity, early education, communicative skills, Epistemological trends, communicative development, pedagogical practice.

In Malaysia, slope failure is often caused by intense and prolonged rainfall. Commonly, the groundwater table in the affected areas has increased, and the ground faces erosion and runoff. Some Malaysian terrains are steep and hilly, increasing the risk of landslides. This scenario can result in significant consequences including loss of life, property damage, and environmental degradation. This study investigates the effect of rainfall infiltration on landfill slope stability using the finite element method (FEM) of Plaxis2D modeling. The study adopted the Mohr-Coulomb parameters and analyzed two main conditions: with and without rainfall infiltration. The behavior of landfill slope stability is determined by the generated pore water pressure. The highest pore-water pressure was 260.84 kPa at the slope toe. In addition, the safety factors were calculated for slope angles of 1:3, 1:4, and 1:5, yielding values of 2.237, 2.553, and 2.907, respectively. The slope of 1:5 represents the highest safety factor. The results show that rainfall infiltration dramatically reduces the safety factor, underlining the destabilizing effect on landfill slopes. Furthermore, the varying slope height, which is believed to be a crucial factor, was also studied. At steeper slope ratios, the slope is prone to failure. These findings provide an important understanding of the long-term stability of landfill slopes that are generally located in areas with heavy rainfall. This discussion provides valuable information for developing better risk assessment and mitigation strategies.
Keywords: landfill, slope stability, rainfall, safety factor.

This study is development research investigating how geometric products can be made from wood waste materials and used to foster artistic expression and imagination in early childhood. Art is an important development in the early childhood. This study uses the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ADDIE) model development approach. The subjects of this study were kindergarten children in a special region of Yogyakarta. The goal of this study is to produce geometric products from wood waste. These products are in the form of means of transportation such as pedicabs, planes, bicycles, motorcycles, boats, and locomotives. The art of transportation. The use of wood waste is for artistic expression and imagination when children use colors according to what they want. These colors represent a form of children’s exploration of pouring art as a means of transportation.
Keywords: Geometry, Art, Early Childhood.
