The high volume of fishery waste often poses an environmental burden if not managed appropriately. Conversely, the circular economy concept offers sustainable solutions aligned with Maqasid Shariah principles in environmental preservation (Hifz al-Alam). This study aims to educate and implement the processing of fish waste into high-quality animal feed that meets halal standards (halalan thayyiban). This research employs a qualitative approach using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method. The stages include socializing the concept of Sharia circular economy, technical training on waste processing, and nutritional content testing of the feed. The findings indicate an 80% increase in community understanding regarding the economic value of waste. Technically, the fish waste processing successfully produced an alternative animal feed with high protein content, free from najis (impurity) through a purification process according to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). This education proves that the integration of circular economy and Sharia principles not only reduces environmental impact but also creates sustainable economic added value for local communities.

Indonesia, as an agricultural country, has a large population working in the agricultural sector. Agricultural activities often involve the use of chemicals that can cause skin disorders, one of which is contact dermatitis. Contact dermatitis is an occupational disease with a high prevalence, both globally and nationally. As a form of concern for the increasing number of dermatitis cases among farmers, a community service activity was conducted in Mlati Village, Grobogan Regency. This activity aimed to increase farmers' awareness and knowledge regarding contact dermatitis prevention. The intervention included educational sessions, interactive discussions, role-plays, pre- and post-tests, and the distribution of skin health information leaflets. The activity was carried out by the Health Promotion Team from the Faculty of Medicine, Semarang State University. The evaluation results showed an increase in participants' understanding of the symptoms of contact dermatitis by 11.86% of the 21 participants who attended. Materials considered important by participants included the importance of maintaining personal hygiene after contact with chemicals, as well as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) during work. The participants' enthusiasm was also evident in their active participation in the discussion sessions and hands-on practice. However, there was still a lack of in-depth understanding of skin health care. This demonstrates the need for regular follow-up education to reinforce the program's positive impact. Overall, these activities demonstrate the critical importance of community-based health promotion in reducing the risk of occupational skin diseases and encouraging healthier and safer behavior changes in farmers.

Background: Pregnancy is a natural process, but if you do not receive proper care during pregnancy it can cause morbidity and even death in the mother. In Indonesia, the maternal mortality rate is still quite high and still below the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) targets. The causes of maternal death can be reduced and can be prevented through quality care, one of which is early detection of complications during pregnancy. Apart from that, pregnant women must also know about the danger signs of pregnancy by making maximum use of the KIA Book which contains information about Maternal and Child Health. If the mother knows about the danger signs within herself, the pregnant woman will be more aware of her condition.

Degenerative diseases are chronic diseases that affect a person's quality of life. There are various degenerative diseases that should be treated as early as possible, such as diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, heart stroke and other degenerative diseases. Indonesia bears a double burden of disease in the health sector, namely infectious diseases are still rampant and coupled with chronic degenerative diseases. Efforts to promote health are very important in efforts to prevent degenerative diseases in adolescence. This health promotion is carried out in adolescents because of the unhealthy lifestyle of adolescents, this can be seen from the smoking habits of adolescents and the habit of eating unhealthy foods or snacks carelessly, lack of consumption of vegetables and fruits, and minimal physical activity such as sports in efforts to prevent degenerative diseases in adolescents.
