Hypertension is a condition characterized by an increase in blood pressure, defined as systolic values ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic values ≥ 90 mmHg, and it remains one of the most common health problems experienced by the elderly. Non-pharmacological approaches such as low-impact aerobic exercise are recommended, as this type of exercise is performed at a low to moderate intensity for 20–50 minutes, three times a week. It has been shown to strengthen and maintain the functions of the heart, lungs, blood circulation, muscles, and joints, thereby contributing positively to the management of high blood pressure. This study aims to determine the effect of low-impact aerobic exercise on blood pressure among elderly patients with hypertension through the application of evidence-based practice. A quantitative case study approach was employed to gain a deeper understanding of changes in blood pressure following the intervention. Three elderly respondents diagnosed with hypertension were involved and instructed to perform low-impact aerobic exercise for three consecutive days. The results showed a decrease in blood pressure among all respondents, although the outcomes varied. The first respondent experienced changes from 140/80 mmHg to 130/70 mmHg and 130/90 mmHg, the second respondent from 150/90 mmHg to 160/80 mmHg and then 150/70 mmHg, and the third respondent from 150/80 mmHg to 110/70 mmHg and 130/70 mmHg. These findings indicate that low-impact aerobic exercise has a positive effect in reducing blood pressure, despite some variability between individuals. In conclusion, low-impact aerobic exercise is proven to help control blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This study highlights the importance of encouraging hypertensive individuals to adopt regular and independent low-impact aerobic exercise as a simple strategy to maintain stable blood pressure and improve overall quality of life.

Dysmenorrhea is a painful cramping or aching sensation in the lower abdomen, often radiating to the lower back, hips, and thighs. This condition significantly affects daily activities, limiting women’s physical and academic performance, particularly among female students who frequently experience dysmenorrhea during menstruation. Various interventions can help prevent or reduce the prevalence and severity of dysmenorrhea, including specific physical exercises such as McKenzie exercises and Kegel exercises. McKenzie exercises focus on strengthening and mobilizing the lower back and abdominal muscles, whereas Kegel exercises target the pelvic floor muscles to enhance circulation and reduce uterine tension. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in effectiveness between Kegel exercises and McKenzie exercises in alleviating dysmenorrhea pain among adolescents aged 12–15 years at SMP Negeri 28 Semarang. The study employed an experimental two-group pre-posttest design with a total sample of 22 female students who met the inclusion criteria. The Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) technique was used to assign participants to the intervention groups. Pain intensity was measured using the Quadruple Visual Analog Scale (QVAS) both before and after the interventions, which were administered three times per week over a three-week period. The results showed a statistically significant reduction in pain for both groups, with a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating that both McKenzie and Kegel exercises effectively decreased dysmenorrhea pain. The study concluded that there is a measurable difference in the effectiveness of these two exercise interventions, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate physical exercises tailored to adolescent students for dysmenorrhea management. These findings provide evidence-based guidance for educators, healthcare providers, and adolescents seeking non-pharmacological strategies to reduce menstrual pain and improve quality of life.

This study aims to analyze the effect of transformer oil purification on oil breakdown voltage and evaluate its benefits in maintaining transformer performance and reliability. Oil purification is a crucial preventive maintenance step to preserve insulation quality and prevent operational failures caused by reduced dielectric properties. The study was conducted through several stages, including data collection, oil purification, measurement of breakdown voltage before and after purification, and evaluation of results. Data collection involved measuring the oil’s electrical properties according to SPLN 49-1:1982 and observing results using a Break Down Voltage (BDV) test. Purification of a Trafindo 400 kVA transformer was performed through visual inspection, connecting the inlet and outlet hoses to the purification machine, and circulating the oil until the breakdown voltage met the required standards. Results indicated that the oil breakdown voltage before purification was below standard due to reduced insulation quality caused by water contamination, charcoal particles, thermal degradation, and dissolved gases that weakened dielectric properties. Additional factors such as electrical stress, mechanical stress, and excessive loading also contributed to insulation deterioration. After purification, the oil breakdown voltage increased significantly to meet the standard of >30 kV/2.5 mm, demonstrating that purification effectively restores the oil’s insulating capacity and supports optimal transformer performance. Analysis confirms that the transformer oil remains suitable for use, and routine annual purification is recommended to maintain reliability, efficiency, and operational performance. This study highlights oil purification as an effective preventive measure for transformer stability, extending operational life, and reducing the risk of insulation failure. The findings provide valuable guidance for transformer maintenance in the electricity industry, ensuring safe and optimal long-term operation.

This study aims to analyze the responsibilities of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) and the state in implementing restitution for victims of sexual violence, particularly when the perpetrators are unable to pay or are sentenced to death. The background of this research lies in the weak implementation of restitution, which should be a fundamental right of victims, as illustrated by the case of Herry Wirawan based on the Bandung High Court Decision Number 86/Pid.Sus/2022/PT Bdg. The research addresses two main problems: (1) how the state and LPSK ensure the victims’ rights to restitution under such circumstances, and (2) what obstacles hinder the implementation of restitution based on the decision. The study employs a normative juridical method with a statutory and case study approach. The findings show that the implementation of restitution still faces serious obstacles, such as the absence of technical mechanisms, the lack of designated executing institutions, and the lack of coordination among law enforcement agencies. LPSK plays a role in proposing and calculating restitution amounts but lacks execution authority. Moreover, the state has not yet fulfilled its role as the ultimate guarantor for victims when the perpetrator is unable to comply. In conclusion, Indonesia’s legal system needs to strengthen technical regulations, ensure inter-agency coordination, and affirm the state's role as a guarantor of restitution to achieve meaningful restorative justice for victims of sexual violence

In late August 2025, Indonesia was rocked by nationwide political demonstrations, triggered by the death of a delivery driver at the hands of police. These protests turned violent, leading to multiple casualties, injuries, and arson attacks on government and commercial buildings. This unrest has raised international concerns regarding the country’s safety image. This paper uses a qualitative descriptive approach to analyze secondary sources, such as news media, government releases, and academic literature, to explore how hosting the 2025 MotoGP at the Mandalika Circuit could be used as a nation-branding strategy to counter negative perceptions. The study draws on nation branding theory, destination image concepts, event leveraging, and Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT). Findings suggest that Indonesian authorities are actively promoting MotoGP Mandalika 2025 as an opportunity to demonstrate the country’s resilience and safety standards. We analyze two scenarios: one in which the event is canceled and one where it is successfully executed. The paper argues that canceling the event, unless due to a legitimate health crisis, would signal weakness and harm the country's image, while proceeding with it would reflect confidence and effective crisis management. As a "brand shield," the MotoGP event is being leveraged to reinforce the narrative of Indonesia as a stable and safe international sports host, demonstrating the country's ability to manage crises while showcasing its commitment to safety and resilience.

This article examines the economic defense reforms implemented by China under Xi Jinping's leadership through a literature review. This research aims to examine the key strategies employed by the Chinese government to strengthen its economic resilience amidst global pressures, such as the trade war with the United States, the COVID-19 pandemic, and escalating geopolitical rivalries. The findings indicate that Xi Jinping prioritizes a dual-circulation strategy, namely strengthening domestic consumption while maintaining connectivity with international markets, as a crucial step in addressing global uncertainty. Furthermore, the Made in China 2025 policy serves as a key pillar for promoting technological independence, reducing dependence on imports, and enhancing the competitiveness of domestic industries in strategic sectors such as information technology, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China seeks to expand its economic influence globally, open new markets, and transfer excess domestic industrial capacity to partner countries. These reforms are not solely oriented toward economic aspects but are also closely linked to political and national security interests. This strategy demonstrates China's systematic efforts to build economic resilience integrated with geopolitical interests, using the economy as an instrument of both soft and hard power. This study demonstrates that Xi Jinping's economic defense reforms are not merely a short-term response to the global crisis, but rather part of a long-term vision to establish China as a dominant global power. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of understanding China's economic strategy holistically, as these reforms, in addition to significantly influencing domestic dynamics, also have significant implications for the future global economic and political order.
