One of the efforts made is through the tahfidz Al-Qur’an program, which aims not only to provide memorization skills but also to cultivate students’ religiosity and good character in line with the vision of the madrasah. This study aims to describe the implementation of the tahfidz Al-Qur’an program in shaping students’ character at MTs Negeri 3 Banyumas. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a field research approach conducted at MTs Negeri 3 Banyumas. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the implementation of the tahfidz program is carried out in three stages: (1) the planning stage, (2) the implementation stage, and (3) the evaluation stage. Specifically, the implementation at MTs Negeri 3 Banyumas also consists of three phases: (1) the preliminary stage, (2) the core stage, and (3) the closing stage. Meanwhile, the evaluation of students’ abilities is conducted through formative and summative assessments. The program has successfully shaped students’ character to become religious, disciplined, responsible, tolerant, resilient, independent, and honest. The challenges faced include differences in students’ memorization abilities and limited time, but these can be overcome through intensive guidance and support from both the school and parents. The Tahfidz program at MTs Negeri 3 Banyumas makes a significant contribution to character building, making it worthy of continuous development as part of Qur’an-based character education.

Physiotherapy plays an important role in promotive and preventive efforts through education for the community, including children’s health posts (posyandu). Children aged 1–5 years often experience eating difficulties that reduce appetite, increasing the risk of malnutrition and growth retardation. Low appetite is often related to oral-motor function disorders, such as difficulty chewing or swallowing. This activity aimed to increase mothers’ knowledge about oral-motor-sensory stimulation as an effort to improve children’s appetite. The community service program was conducted at Posyandu RW 02, Kota Lama Subdistrict, Malang City, involving 15 mothers or caregivers of toddlers. The method included physiotherapy counseling using interactive discussions and poster media, with knowledge evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge, from 0% in the pre-test to 85% in the post-test. This counseling effectively enhanced mothers’ understanding and practical skills in performing oral-motor-sensory stimulation independently at home. With regular implementation, this stimulation is expected to increase children’s appetite, improve nutritional status, and support optimal growth and development. Moreover, it reinforces the role of physiotherapy in preventing nutritional problems and improving the quality of life of children from an early age.

The implementation methods included field observations, interviews with business actors, training to improve product quality, trial application of new packaging, and program evaluation. The results indicated significant improvements in product packaging quality, entrepreneurial skills in branding, and the utilization of social media as a promotional tool. A key achievement was the shift in entrepreneurs’ mindset from merely producing for local consumption to targeting broader markets. The program’s contribution lies in producing more competitive fish paste products, enhancing entrepreneurial literacy among the community, and strengthening the competitiveness of local MSMEs. Therefore, this KKN activity not only creates short-term impacts but also opens opportunities for sustainable community economic development.

This research aims to analyze the optimization of digital marketing in increasing the competitiveness of Bank Jateng, formulate the main challenges in the implementation of digital-based public service innovations, and develop an integration strategy between digital marketing and public service innovation to strengthen the role of Bank Jateng in regional economic development.

Gender mainstreaming (PUG) is a development strategy that integrates gender equality as a key principle in planning and budgeting. The city of Semarang has adopted this approach in various policy documents; however, its implementation still faces significant challenges. This study aims to evaluate the achievement of the seven prerequisites for PUG according to the guidelines from the Ministry of PPPA, including commitment, policies, institutional frameworks, resources, sex-disaggregated data, gender analysis tools (GAP and GBS), and community participation. The research utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach, employing in-depth interviews, document studies, and questionnaires. Key informants include local government organizations (OPDs) and civil society representatives. Data analysis is carried out using Miles & Huberman's interactive model with thematic analysis. The findings show that normative prerequisites such as policies and institutional frameworks are in place, but implementation remains weak, particularly in the use of sex-disaggregated data and the application of GAP-GBS. Supporting factors for success include leadership commitment from specific OPDs and the existence of cross-sector coordination forums, while the main obstacles are limited human resource capacity and insufficient gender-responsive budget allocation. This study reinforces the relevance of policy implementation theory in bridging the gap between normative frameworks and operational practices. Recommendations include ongoing training, mainstreaming sex-disaggregated data, and technical regulations that all OPDs must follow to enhance the effectiveness of PUG.
