COPD is a condition characterized by airflow obstruction that cannot be completely corrected. This limitation generally worsens over time and is associated with abnormal permeability to noxious particles or gases, resulting in narrowing of the airways, increased mucus secretion, and changes in the vascular system. The increase in chest expansion capacity is caused by the activity of respiratory muscle contraction. The activity of the respiratory muscles plays a role in chest expansion, which also affects lung growth. It is stated that the strength of the respiratory muscles decreases with age. Loss of intercostal muscle mass and strength are factors that reduce the ability of chest wall presence or development. This study used a case report design research method. Physiotherapy management for COPD is increasingly focused on exercise-based rehabilitation, both in outpatient and inpatient settings. Some therapies such as breathing exercises, thoracic expansion exercises and muscle release.

The problem of this research is that passing is still not right on target, has not mastered the upper passing technique correctly, lack of mastery and control of the ball, so the problem in volleyball extracurricular is the lack of volleyball upper passing ability. The research method used in this study is the experimental research method. The design in this study uses Two Group Pretest Posttest. This Two Group Pretest Posttest only has measurement result data, namely pretest and posttest measurements. the results of the t value in the experimental group using a plastic ball are -19.312> 1.7613 and in the experimental group using a rubber ball are -18.862> 1.7613. From the results of the T test table, the comparison of the results of training using plastic balls and rubber balls is to see the average value (Mean) on the pretest results using a plastic ball, the average value is 15.33, the posttest using a plastic ball obtained an average value of 27.13 with a difference in increase of 11.8. While the average value (Mean) on the pretest results of the exercise using a rubber ball, the average value was 15.27, the posttest using a rubber ball obtained an average value of 27.73 with a difference of 12.46. Thus, it can be concluded that training using a rubber ball is more effective in improving upper passing skills compared to training using a plastic ball.

Plyometric training is an effective training method in increasing muscle power, especially in the lower body which is very much needed in various sports. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of two types of plyometric training, namely Single Leg Hop and Double Leg Hop, on increasing leg muscle power. The study was conducted using a literature review approach to eight previous relevant studies. The results of the review showed that both types of training had a positive and significant effect on increasing leg muscle power. However, most studies concluded that Single Leg Hop training was superior in increasing unilateral strength and specific muscle explosive power, especially in sports such as futsal, basketball, and long jump. Thus, Single Leg Hop training can be recommended as a more effective method for developing lower muscle power, although the selection of training types still needs to be adjusted to the characteristics and needs of athletes.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a peripheral neuropathy disease that occurs due to compression or pressure on the median nerve which causes narrowing of the carpal tunnel. Common symptoms of CTS are pain, numbness, and paresthesia which usually spread to the fingers, especially the thumb, index finger, and middle finger. To determine the effectiveness of non-operative therapy in cases of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome using modalities of tools and exercise therapy in the form of nerve gliding exercise, free exercise with resistance, hand grip, and manual therapy techniques. Case report study is used as a research method by taking samples from 1 patient with a case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). The measuring instruments used are Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for the pain scale, Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) to measure muscle strength, Goniometer to measure Range Of Motion (ROM), and Wrist Hand Disability Index (WHDI) to measure functional activity ability. After the implementation of the 3rd therapy there were changes, namely decreased pain, increased muscle strength, increased ROM and increased functional activity.  This case study shows that there is effectiveness in providing exercise therapy, manual therapy and electrotherapy in cases of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most common progressive musculoskeletal disorder among adolescents, characterized by a lateral curvature of the spine with an unknown cause. This condition often results in postural asymmetry, chronic low back pain, and reduced mobility. This case report involves a 17-year-old female high school student diagnosed with AIS, presenting with lower back pain and functional limitations. The physiotherapy intervention included three sessions over two weeks, utilizing Microwave Diathermy (MWD) as a physical modality, along with Schroth method and strengthening exercises. The outcomes demonstrated a reduction in pain intensity, improved muscle strength, increased spinal mobility, and enhanced thoracic expansion. Additionally, the patient showed an improvement in quality of life as measured by the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire. These findings suggest that structured conservative physiotherapy, combining physical modalities and specific exercises, is effective in alleviating clinical symptoms, improving postural awareness, and supporting the functional well-being of AIS patients. This case highlights the importance of early and consistent physiotherapeutic intervention to manage symptoms and potentially slow curve progression.

High blood pressure is a problem that is widely suffered by the community, especially in Indonesia. Hypertension that is not detected early and treated properly can trigger coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, chronic kidney failure, blindness due to hypertensive retinopathy and peripheral arterial disease. The purpose of community service is to lower blood pressure in people with hypertension. It is hoped that through this activity it will be a source of information to increase the knowledge of people with hypertension about finger grip gymnastics techniques to lower blood pressure. The implementation method in this community service is to carry out finger grip gymnastics activities and before the activity, blood pressure measurements are carried out. This community service activity was carried out on people with hypertension aged >40 years as many as 36 elderly people at the Posyandu, Bogoarum Village, Plaosan District, Magetan Regency, East Java Province. The results of the blood pressure of people with hypertension who participated in finger grip gymnastics obtained pretest blood pressure with a mean blood pressure value of 157.78 / 92.22 mmhg. While the posttest blood pressure with a mean blood pressure value of 145 / 83.3 mmhg. It was concluded that there was a decrease between the pretest and posttest blood pressure values. This service is expected to be a preventive recommendation that can be given to hypertension sufferers, namely so that the community remains active in participating in finger grip gymnastics activities that can be done routinely at the integrated health post so that it can reduce the number of hypertension complications.

The acceleration of globalization and advances in information technology have brought about significant changes in the economic field. In this context, collaboration between individuals is a key element in forming business groups that aim to achieve economic benefits. These business groups can take the form of informal businesses that do not yet have legality, as well as legal entities known as corporations. When individuals join a corporation, this also strengthens the corporation's position as a legal subject in economic activities. A legal subject (subject tumjuris) is an entity that can have and exercise rights and obligations. This situation can trigger abuse of power by corporations against the public interest, which is then known as corporate crime. Such crimes are usually committed for the sake of the company's business interests and fall into the category of white collar. crime. One form of corporate crime that is rampant is the violation of the economic rights of creators and copyright owners

A separatist creditor are those holding proprietary security rights over a debtor’s assets, granting them preferential claims in the satisfaction of debts through the execution of the collateral. Article 59 of the Indonesian Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations Law (UU KPKPU) restricts the exercise of such execution rights to a period of two months following the declaration of bankruptcy. This limitation raises issues of fairness, as it treats all creditors equally without regard to the legal priority attached to secured creditors. The provision risks undermining the absolute nature of proprietary security rights and deviates from the principle of proportional justice as articulated by Aristoteles. This article adopts a normative legal approach, examining statutory provisions, legal principles, and relevant doctrinal opinions. The findings suggest that the uniform treatment of secured and unsecured creditors after the expiry of the execution period is inconsistent with the fundamental characteristics of secured rights, namely their priority and enforceability against third parties. Accordingly, a revision of the existing legal framework is necessary to ensure the proper and equitable enforcement of secured creditors' rights in bankruptcy proceedings.

The Kanjuruhan tragedy on October 1, 2022, marks one of the deadliest disasters in Indonesian sports history, resulting in the deaths of over a hundred spectators during a post-match riot. This study explores the tragedy through the lens of sports sociology by examining how crowd behavior, institutional failures, and the use of excessive force reflect deeper socio-political dynamics. Using a library research method, this paper analyzes academic literature, official reports, and sociological theories—particularly those of Gramsci, Bourdieu, and Foucault—to understand the normalization of violence, the exercise of hegemonic power through sport, and the systemic weaknesses in match organization. The study finds that the convergence of commercial interests, inadequate crowd management, and institutionalized violence created the conditions for this disaster. The findings call for structural reforms in sports governance and advocate for a sociologically informed approach to fan education, crowd control, and ethical media representation.

Language is crucial for human interaction, making foreign language education, especially Japanese, increasingly vital in the global era. Indonesia holds the second-highest number of Japanese learners globally.

The application scored an average effectiveness of 4.3 out of 5, with 85% of users gaining confidence in basic Japanese. While generally well-received, suggestions include offline features, varied exercises, adjustable game difficulty, and more audio, daily conversations, and JLPT-standardized tests. These insights guide further development for a more comprehensive and adaptive learning platform.

Survey results from 97% of pregnant women in Indonesia and Central Java related to sleep disturbances in 2016 show that pregnant women in the second and third trimesters often wake up at night, and in the second and third trimesters, pregnant women often experience sleep disturbances. An increase in the gestational age of the mother causes this. Based on the results of a preliminary study conducted in January 2023 by the researcher at BPM (Independent Practice Midwife) Indri Sujarwo Demak on ten pregnant women who filled out a questionnaire, it was found that seven pregnant women experienced poor sleep quality and three pregnant women experienced good sleep quality. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the frequency of pregnancy exercise and the sleep quality of pregnant women. This type of research was observational, using an analytic survey method. The design of this study used a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was all pregnant women who participated in pregnancy exercises with 50 students. Retrieval of data using a total sampling technique. The instrument used is the sleep quality questionnaire (PSQI). The statistical test used was the Chi-Square test. The results of the study were that there was a p-value of 0.000, so that the p-value (0.000) < α (0.05), it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the frequency of pregnancy exercise and sleep quality with an R-value of 0.619, which means that the level of the relationship is strong. It is hoped that this research can practice and expand information for pregnant women about the importance of attending pregnancy exercise classes and applying it at home so that pregnant women sleep better and reduce discomfort during childbirth.
