It is hoped that the implementation of this system can increase the efficiency of education and make it easier for the community to utilize medicinal plants in the ASMAN TOGA park.

Introduction: Hypertension is a chronic condition in which blood vessel walls experience increased blood pressure, requiring a faster heart rate to pump blood throughout the body. The presence of hypertension influences changes in the results of mean arterial pressure, if the mean arterial pressure is more than 100 mmHg it can cause cerebral circulation disorders resulting in cerebral vascular resistance in hypertensive patients. One non-pharmacological effort to overcome and reduce MAP can be done by providing foot massage therapy. Method: This type of research is quantitative research with a pre-experimental one group pre-post test design approach. The instruments used by researchers were a digital spygmomanometer and observation sheet. Results: Descriptive statistical results showed that the average MAP value before giving a foot massage was 112.49 mmHg and the average MAP after giving a foot massage was 108.43 mmHg. Conclusion: The results of the Wilcoxon sign rank test, a non-parametric statistical test, obtained a p value of 0.000 (? = 0.05). So that p < a, it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and H1 is approved, this shows that foot massage therapy can influence the results of mean arterial pressure in elderly hypertensive patients in the Kalijati Health Center working area. This research is expected to provide initial information by carrying out foot massage therapy 6 times in 6 consecutive days as an effort to control hypertension and reduce mean arterial pressure (MAP) results.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a degenerative disease with an increasing number of patients characterized by hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion. Ineffective management in managing DM disease will result in complications such as peripheral artery disease (PAP). One of the examinations that can be done to find out the condition of the blood vessels of the lower extremities is by measuring the Ankle Brachial Index. One of the efforts to prevent the occurrence of PAP is by exercising diabetic feet. The purpose of this study is to analyze the picture of the Ankle Brachial Index in the Persadia Community who undergo diabetic foot exercises at Subang Hospital. Method: The method used in this study is quantitative descriptive. The sample in this study was 59 people taken using a simple random sampling technique. Data collection in this study used a sphygmomanometer and observation sheet, data analysis using frequency distribution. Results: The results of the study showed that the characteristics of respondents in the Persadia Community were 59 women (100.0%) with an average age of 50.03 years, IRT jobs as many as 28 people (47.5%) with the last high school education level of 35 people (59.3%). Meanwhile, the majority of ABI scores in the persadia community with an average score of 1.02. Conclusion: This study can be an input for DM patients to conduct routine ABI examinations to detect early vascular disorders in the extremities and as a prevention of the risk of leg ulcers.    

Modern agriculture has experienced a significant transformation with the introduction of mechanization technology, one of which is the use of combine harvesters. This machine has a crucial role in increasing the efficiency and productivity of crop harvests, especially in the cultivation of cereal crops such as rice, wheat and corn. This research aims to determine the effect of using a combine harvester on lowland rice productivity. This research was carried out from September to October 2023 in Tanjung Alai Village. The data analysis used in this research is linear regression analysis to analyze the effect of yield loss due to the use of a Combine Harvester (CH) on productivity. The research results showed that the use of a Combine Harvester in Tanjung Alai Village, Mukomuko Regency was able to increase rice productivity by 487.56 kg/ha (11.21%) compared to harvesting without using a Combine Harvester. The T Test results show a significant value of 0.000, meaning that the significant value ˂ ɑ 0.05 indicates that the yield loss variable when harvesting using a Combine Harvester has a real or significant effect on rice productivity. Based on the regression equation formed, every 1% reduction in yield loss when harvesting using a Combine Harvester will increase rice productivity by 79,221 kg

Introduction: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a stretch of the median nerve caused by pressure on the median nerve in the carpal tunnel when the nerve passes through the tunnel. So that pain, paraesthesia, and numbness appear in the area through which the median nerve passes. Purpose: This case report was aimed to determine the effect of physiotherapy interventions in the form of Ultrasound Therapy, Wrist Stretching, and Tendon Gliding exercise on a female patient aged 66 years. Method: A Case report was conducted 3 times over two weeks by evaluating pain using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), a wide range of motion using a goniometer, and the patient’s functional activity using the DASH questionnaire. Result: There was a decrease in motion pain from the value of the NRS scale 6 to the NRS scale 4, and tenderness from the value of the NRS scale 2 to the NRS scale 1. An increase in the range of motion of the joint in dorsiflexion and active palmar flexion movements from T1 (S: 40̊ - 0̊ - 45̊) to T3 (S: 40̊ - 0̊ - 45̊), in the active radial and ulnar deviation movements from T1 (F: 15̊ -  0̊ - 20̊) to T3 (F: 15̊ -  0̊ - 25̊). Functional improvement in patients with DASH results from 61 to 50. Conclusion: The effects of ultrasound therapy, wrist stretching, and tendon gliding exercises are that they can reduce pain, increase ROM, and increase functional activity in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.
