Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure above normal values ​​due to various factors. Normal hypertension values ​​are in the range of 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg. Systolic pressure values ​​of more than 139 mmHg and diastolic pressure of more than 89 mmHg are categorized as hypertension. With increasing prevalence, hypertension is becoming a global health problem. In the world, an estimated 1.13 billion people aged 30 to 70 years suffer from hypertension, and this disease is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension is estimated to reach more than 40% in the adult population in 2019 (WHO, 2019). The purpose of this activity is to prevent an increase in the prevalence of hypertension. The method used is to provide counseling and screening for hypertension risk factors. The results obtained are blood pressure data, anthropometry and hypertension exercises. It can be concluded that this activity was successful because there was an increase in the pre-test to post-test value of 25.21 points so that this activity can be sustainable to prevent hypertension patients.

E-commerce represents the largest sector within Indonesia's digital economy, with a Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of USD 62 billion in 2023, projected to grow to USD 82 billion by 2025. However, amidst this rapid growth, the practice of deceptive discounts—manipulating prices to create the illusion of significant price cuts—frequently occurs, causing harm to consumers. Such practices are inherently at odds with the principles of honesty and fairness in Islamic economics. This study examines the role of hisbah in monitoring and preventing deceptive discount practices in e-commerce. The primary objective of this research is to propose solutions to address the prevalence of deceptive discount practices on e-commerce platforms. The study employs a qualitative approach through library research. Data were gathered from primary and secondary literature, including books, journal articles, regulations, and related documents. The analytical method used is descriptive-analytical, aimed at understanding the relevance and application of hisbah principles in the oversight of e-commerce. The findings reveal that hisbah can complement existing regulations by emphasizing moral supervision, social sanctions, consumer education, and policy advocacy grounded in Islamic values. The implementation of hisbah not only ensures transactional integrity but also fosters an e-commerce ecosystem that is fair, transparent, and aligned with Sharia principles.

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is a health problem that can affect the mother and fetus. Age and number of pregnancies (gravida) are thought to be related to the incidence of CED. This study aims to analyze the relationship between age and number of pregnancies with the incidence of CED in pregnant women at the Lau Baleng Health Center, Lau Baleng District, in 2023.Methods: This study used an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 56 pregnant women selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews and measurements of the Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), then analyzed using the chi-square test.Results: The results showed that 23.2% of respondents experienced CED. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between age and the incidence of CED (p = 0.004), where mothers aged <20 years or >35 years had a higher risk of experiencing CED than mothers aged 20-35 years. In addition, there is a significant relationship between the number of pregnancies (gravida) and the incidence of CED (p = 0.004), where mothers with a history of more than five pregnancies (grandemultigravida) have the highest prevalence of CED (62.5%). Conclusion: The age of pregnant women and the number of pregnancies have a significant relationship with the incidence of CED. Therefore, prevention efforts are needed through nutritional education for pregnant women, especially in the at-risk age group and mothers with high parity, to reduce the incidence of CED.
