Measles remains a significant public health problem, particularly among school-aged children. Outbreak Response Immunization (ORI) is a key strategy to prevent measles outbreaks; however, its effectiveness depends greatly on community participation and cross-sectoral support. Data from Tanah Garam Primary Health Center in 2025 showed that measles-rubella ORI coverage among primary school children was still low, reaching only 44.15% of the 5,060 targeted children. This community service activity aimed to support the optimization of measles ORI implementation through an educational and community-based assistance approach. The methods included health education for parents and teachers, assistance during school-based ORI implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of immunization coverage. The results indicated improved community understanding of the importance of measles immunization, increased support from schools, and strengthened coordination between the primary health center and schools. This community service activity contributes to promotive and preventive health efforts and supports the prevention of measles outbreaks in the working area of Tanah Garam Primary Health Center.

Waste management remains one of the major challenges in urban areas, including Rungkut Menanggal Subdistrict, Surabaya. Although two active waste banks already exist, community participation and the optimization of social and material assets remain limited. This community empowerment program aims to optimize local potential through the strengthening of social and material assets based on waste bank activities using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. This approach emphasizes the utilization of existing community strengths and resources to create sustainable social transformation. The program was carried out through five participatory stages: discover, dream, design, define, and destiny. The results show a significant improvement in the community’s capacity for household waste management. Residents were able to process approximately 100 kg of organic waste into compost and create creative products such as decorative bags made from plastic waste. Moreover, collaboration among local institutions such as Karang Taruna Arkidli, PKK, Posga Venus, Posga Bumi, and KSH increased, strengthening collective action in environmental management. This program demonstrates that the ABCD approach effectively enhances social capital, increases community participation, and generates both economic and environmental benefits. Waste bank management based on local asset empowerment can serve as a model for inclusive and adaptive community development in urban environmental contexts.

Background: Posterior tooth loss can impact masticatory function, aesthetics, and quality of life. Bridges are a restorative solution, but conventional pontic designs often make it difficult to maintain periodontal hygiene and health. Sanitary pontics offer a design that minimizes tissue contact, facilitates cleaning, and reduces plaque accumulation. Case report: A 23-year-old male patient lost his mandibular right first molar and sought to restore chewing function. After clinical and radiographic examinations, it was decided to restore the edentulous area of tooth 46 using a PFM bridge with a sanitary pontic design. Teeth 45 and 47 underwent abutment preparation, impressions, and fabrication of the bridge. Discussion: The sanitary pontic design has been shown to facilitate oral hygiene, especially under the pontic. The space between the pontic and the alveolar mucosa facilitates effective brushing or flossing, reducing plaque and the risk of gingival inflammation. PFM materials provide appropriate strength and durability for posterior restorations. Conclusion: A Porcelain Fused Metal (PFM) bridge with a sanitary pontic design is an effective restorative alternative for posterior tooth loss, improving hygiene and supporting long-term periodontal health.

The implementation of online zakat payments by BAZNAS Jambi Province faced several challenges, including suboptimal use of the Simba application due to system errors. Additionally, there was a lack of public trust in online zakat payments, insufficient public literacy on the matter, and inadequate socialization and education from BAZNAS Jambi regarding the online payment process. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collection via interviews. To optimize digital zakat management, BAZNAS Jambi implemented a strategy involving both their website and the SIMBA system, offering two digital payment options: transfers and QRIS codes. They also pursued partnerships with companies and promoted zakat payments through social media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Google Ads, Meta Ads, as well as TVRI and RRI television. However, there were challenges, including human resource limitations at BAZNAS Jambi, which resulted in delays when verifying factual data. Additionally, high IT operational costs limited the effectiveness of SIMBA and the website. The coordination issues, including both functional and institutional coordination, were also identified as significant problems. To address these challenges, BAZNAS Jambi has been working on solutions such as community education, socializing zakat management with the public and local government agencies (OPDs), and improving internal coordination.
