The results highlight the potential of eco theology as a transformative model in Christian higher education, equipping students with both ethical and practical tools to address the global ecological crisis.

Stunting is a significant health issue in Indonesia caused by chronic malnutrition starting during pregnancy. A healthy lifestyle for pregnant women is an essential step to prevent stunting and support the continuity of a healthy generation. This community service activity aimed to increase the knowledge of pregnant women, prospective brides, health cadres, and the community about the importance of a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy. The activity was conducted in Lubok Sukon Village, Ingin Jaya Subdistrict, Aceh Besar District, on December 23, 2023, through counseling, interactive discussions, and free medical check-ups. A total of 84 respondents participated in this program. Based on pre-test results, only 19.04% of respondents had good knowledge about a healthy lifestyle. However, after the education, this number increased to 69.05%. The education covered topics such as nutritional intake, regular pregnancy check-ups, physical activity, and family support. The results indicate that this program effectively improved respondents' understanding. It is expected that this initiative can serve as a starting point in reducing stunting rates in the community.

of Higher Education Dharma. When the functions of instructors and students become an integral part of the activity. It is believed that through participation in PKM (Community Service activities), lecturers, students, and community members will work together in harmony to raise awareness of the unique needs of the community. The goal of the government, both local, sub-district, and village governments, is to ensure that all citizens are treated fairly when applying and receiving population documents through the implementation of the Population Administration Service system. Observation, interviews, and documentation are the main tools to collect information in this qualitative descriptive research method. Population administration services based on the principles of good governance are very important to improve the quality of public services. This is driven by the need for public service providers in population administration services that show good governance, as well as people's aspirations for quality public services in this era of decentralization.

The threat of disease for people in the world is cancer. Breast cancer is a cancer that worries women. The Indonesian government prioritizes the management of breast cancer without neglecting the treatment of other types of cancer. One of the efforts to detect breast cancer is by doing breast self-examination (BSE). The BSE examination is most appropriate to be carried out routinely, at least once every month, to be precise on the 7-10th day after menstruation because at this time the breasts feel soft. The purpose of being aware of it regularly is to feel and get to know the curves of the breasts, so that if there is a change it can be detected immediately. Based on the problems found, the methods used in this community service activity are: 1) Counseling on breast self-examination (BSE), 2) Demonstration of BSE examination. Community service activities carried out in face-to-face events and counseling regarding Health Education Regarding Breast Self-Examination (Sadari) at SMP Paba Sampali are in accordance with the planning and are well implemented. Activities carried out face to face with the lecture method (counseling). This counseling will be held on Saturday, November 20 th from 15.00 to 16.00 WIB. There were 23 participants in the activity.. The results of the implementation of the activity showed that 70% of the participants were correct in answering the pre-test questions distributed. While the results of the post test showed an increase to 90% of participants answered correctly, so it can be concluded that this activity was successfully carried out.

Stunting is a health problem that is still a challenge in Indonesia, especially in areas with low economic conditions. One of the contributing factors is less than ideal parenting due to limited knowledge in managing household income to meet children's nutritional needs. This community service activity aims to improve housewives' understanding of financial management and the selection of nutritious food at low cost to support stunting prevention. This activity was carried out in Wera Village, Pamona Puselemba District, Poso Regency, involving seven families with stunted children, integrated health post cadres, and community leaders. The method used was practice-based training that included lectures, group discussions, household budget preparation simulations, and demonstrations of selecting nutritious food at low cost. Evaluation was carried out through pre-tests and post-tests, participatory observations, and activity documentation. The results of the pre-test and post-test showed an increase in participants' understanding by 75.7%, with an average score increasing from 45.8 to 80.5. The indicator with the highest increase was the ability to prepare a simple family budget (87.5%), followed by an understanding of the importance of balanced nutrition (70.0%) and the selection of nutritious food at low cost (70.8%). The response of the participants was very positive, shown by enthusiasm in the discussion and active involvement in the practice of preparing a budget and demonstration of selecting food ingredients. This activity succeeded in increasing household financial literacy and awareness of the importance of nutrition in the family. The practice-based approach has proven effective in improving participants' understanding and skills. For the sustainability of the program, further assistance and collaboration with posyandu cadres and the village government are needed to ensure sustainable implementation in preventing stunting.

Background:Supplemental Feeding (PMT) is an activity of providing food in the form of safe and quality snacks along with other supporting activities by considering aspects of food quality and safety. There are two types of supplementary feeding, namely supplementary recovery feeding and supplementary counseling (PMT). Supplemental feeding (PMT) of local food is one of the strategies for handling nutritional problems in toddlers. The PMT activity needs to be accompanied by nutrition and health education for behavioral change, for example with support for breastfeeding, education and counseling on feeding, cleanliness and sanitation for families. Nutritional status is a state of the body as a result of food consumption and use of nutrients, where nutrients are needed by the body as a source of energy, growth and maintenance of body tissues, and regulators of body processes. Nutritional status is greatly influenced by nutritional intake. Objective: To determine the effect of providing local supplementary feeding (PMT) on the nutritional status of toddlers aged 12-59 months. Method: This type of research uses quantitative research using a pre-experimental design pretest-posttest research design. Results: Based on the results of the study, it was shown that a p-value of 0.41 (> 0.05) was obtained. Conclusion: Provision of Local Supplementary Food (PMT) Has No Relationship with Toddler Nutritional Status at UPTD Siriwini Health Center. Suggestion: It is expected that mothers who have toddlers pay more attention to the growth and development of toddlers.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by abnormal blood sugar levels whose prevalence is increasing in Indonesia, including in Tasikmalaya City. Based on the Tasikmalaya City Health Office report in 2023, there were 11,782 DM patients, with 744 cases recorded in the Tawang Health Center working area. Tawangsari Village, namely RW 01, has health problems related to DM where people are less aware of the importance of implementing a healthy lifestyle, especially doing physical activity and limited posyandu services. The purpose of this “SEMANGGI” program is to increase community knowledge and awareness about DM prevention through education and joint gymnastics. The method used was participatory-based, involving health education through lectures, questions and answers, and the completion of pre-test and post-test to measure knowledge improvement. In addition, joint exercises designed to support a healthy lifestyle were conducted. Evaluation results showed a significant increase in community knowledge scores from an average of 2.65 in the pre-test to 4.45 in the post-test (p<0.001). This program demonstrates the effectiveness of participatory-based community empowerment in improving knowledge and promoting a healthy lifestyle to prevent DM. The sustainability of activities like this is needed to optimize its positive impact on public health.

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are a serious health challenge in Indonesia, especially in Setiajaya Village, where low public awareness of NCD risk factors makes the condition worse. This study aims to increase public knowledge and awareness regarding NCDs through the "GEMPITA" program which teaches the use of organic waste to grow Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA). The community service method was used, involving planning, direct education, and pre-test and post-test based evaluation. The results showed a significant increase in participant understanding (p-value = 0.001) with 92% of participants showing increased knowledge. Enthusiasm and active interaction during the education session were indicators of success. These results suggest that the use of waste for TOGA can be implemented as a community step in preventing NCDs. The implications of this study point to the importance of expanding this education program to other areas and involving various stakeholders so that the impact is more significant.

Based on the record owned by the cadre, there are currently 97 babies and toddlers. However, the attendance rate of mothers and toddlers at the Mawar Indah Posyandu  (integrated health service post) averages only 35% each month. This low attendance rate attracted researchers to initiate a community counseling program with goals to increase awareness and participation among mothers of infants and toddlers in the area.  The approach to community empowerment adopted in this study is centered on a public health education campaign, highlighting the critical role of Posyandu in supporting the growth and development of infants and toddlers. The initiative included key steps starting with presenting the benefits of Posyandu for children's growth and developments, engaging participants in a discussion session, and providing door prizes as incentives. The result of the outreach program is attended by 28 mothers along with their children. However, at this level of attendance achieved an average at 28.8%, falling short of the defined success indicators and lower than the previous rate. This outcome was influenced by several factors as outlined in H.L. Bloom’s theory, including environmental factors, individual behavior, healthcare services, and genetic predispositions. The findings indicate that despite efforts to increase awareness and participation, the involvement of mothers with infants and toddlers in the area remains insufficient. Contributing factors include environmental, behavioral, and healthcare service factors. To achieve more optimal results, improvements in these aspects are essential to increase maternal participation in Posyandu programs.

This community service activity was carried out to answer the challenges of modern education, especially in designing assessments that are inclusive and responsive to the diverse learning needs of students. The program involved 25 teachers from five elementary schools in Gunung Anyar Sub-district, Surabaya. The training method includes preparation through a needs survey, exposure to the basic concepts of differentiated assessment, collaborative practice, implementation simulation, and ongoing mentoring. The results of the training showed a significant increase in teacher competence, especially in understanding the concepts of formative, summative, and diagnostic assessments, as well as the ability to design flexible rubrics and assessment formats. As many as 85% of participants understood the objectives of the activity well, 78% felt that they understood the material very well, and 82% felt helped by simulations and hands-on practice. In addition, the training created a culture of productive collaboration between teachers, which was felt by 88% of participants. However, there are challenges in the form of the need for more time for technical deepening of rubric development and implementation assistance in the classroom. Collaborative practice-based training proved effective in improving teachers' competence in differentiated assessment. For the sustainability of the program, further training, the establishment of teacher learning communities and increased school support are recommended. This program is expected to create a more inclusive, innovative and responsive basic education for students' diversity.
