B lymphocyte cells and T lymphocyte cells are two important types of cells in the human body's immune system. B Lymphocyte cells are responsible for producing antibodies that identify and help eliminate pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. They also play a role in the adaptive immune response and can become memory cells, allowing the body to respond more quickly if exposed to the same pathogen in the future. T lymphocytes on the other hand, function in the recognition and destruction of cells infected by viruses as well as in regulating the immune response. T cells can be divided into several subtypes, including cytotoxic T cells, which directly destroy infected cells, and helper T cells, which help coordinate the immune response by secreting cytokines. These two types of cells work together to provide effective protection against infection and contribute to immunological memory, which is important for long-term immunity

The implementation of Universal Precaution in hospitals is crucial to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases through blood and body fluids between patients and healthcare workers.

The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a *Pre-Test and Post-Test with Non-Equivalent Control-Group Design* approach. The study population consisted of 36 nurses, all of whom were included as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods with a paired *t-test* at a 95% confidence level (P<0.05). The results showed that health promotion through leaflets significantly improved knowledge (sig. 0.004) and skills (sig. 0.000) of nurses regarding Universal Precaution for HIV/AIDS. It is recommended that nurses continue to enhance the implementation of Universal Precaution in hospital settings to optimize infection prevention. Education through leaflets can be an effective method to improve the understanding and skills of healthcare professionals. 

Children are individuals who are still very innocent and have not been able to distinguish between the words of parents or sexual harassment. Considering that many cases of sexual harassment are committed by people closest to the child who should be the protector of the child. The family is the school or the initial foundation of a child, therefore sexual education should be given by the family to the child since the child has begun to be able to speak or since toddler age. But in reality there are still many children who don't even know the names of their body parts, which body parts can and cannot be held by others. This service aims to provide an understanding to children about the names of their body parts including the names of their genitals and provide an understanding of body parts that can and cannot be held by others, and what to do when someone else will hold their private area. This educational activity begins with planning, implementing activities and evaluation. Based on the results of the activity, it was found that after the educational activities were carried out, children understood which areas of the body could and could not be held by others and ran to ask for help from others when someone would hold their private areas.

Nutritional knowledge is knowledge about food and nutrients, sources of nutrients in food, food that is safe to consume so that it does not cause disease and how to process food properly so that the nutrients in food are not lost and how to live healthily. One of the factors that influences eating patterns is the level of nutritional knowledge. A person's level of nutritional knowledge influences eating behavior in choosing food which determines whether it is easy for a person to understand the benefits of the nutritional content of the food consumed. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between nutritional knowledge and instant noodle eating patterns among Papuan students at Halu Oleo University. This research uses quantitative research and the type of research is observational analytics with a cross sectional design. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a poor level of nutritional knowledge (75%), while only 25% of respondents had high nutritional knowledge. This shows that even though students are in a higher education environment, their knowledge about nutrition still needs to be improved. Most respondents (52%) consume instant noodles 2-3 times a week, with the main reasons being ease of preparation (65%) and affordable price (20%). This consumption is more dominant among students who live in boarding houses or dormitories compared to those who live with their families. It is hoped that this research will be useful for subjects to balance their eating patterns and have self-control because the majority of subjects have uncontrolled eating patterns due to living in boarding houses or dormitories so that their body health continues to be maintained. Apart from that, subjects can also pay more attention to nutritional balance in consuming food in order to achieve optimal nutritional status.

Human breathing involves a process that brings oxygen from the outside air to body tissues and expels carbon dioxide from the lungs. This mechanism is characterized by decreased inspiratory pressure, reduced minute ventilation, and increased tension in the respiratory muscles. So that breathing for humans is very important, in certain conditions, the respiratory tract can be disrupted and cause various symptoms, one of the respiratory disorders is pneumothorax. Pneumothorax is the presence of air in the pleural cavity. This can cause problems with ventilation, oxygen supply, or both. When these symptoms occur in the absence of lung trauma or obvious pathology, the patient is said to have primary spontaneous pneumothorax. If the pneumothorax is accompanied by complications or the presence of pulmonary disease, the prognosis of the disease will be worse and treatment will be more difficult. One of the actions in pneumothorax cases is physiotherapy rehabilitation. The purpose of this study is to find out whether physiotherapy intervention can reduce complaints in pneumothorax patients. .  Patients are given exercise therapy in the form of pursed lip breathing, thoracic expansion exercise and gentle massage. From the therapy given as much as 3x therapy, the results were obtained in the form of decreased shortness of breath, increased thoracic expansion and increased functional activity.

Background: Anemia is a condition that describes the total number of red blood cells that operate to carry oxygen has decreased to meet the body's physiological needs. Pregnant women are said to be anemic if their hemoglobin (Hb) level is <11g/dL. Anemia in pregnant women is caused by lack of intake of iron-rich foods, lack of vitamin C intake, short pregnancy intervals (parity). Objective: To carry out midwifery care for Mrs M G1P0A0H0, 25 years old, 30-31 weeks pregnant with a mild case of anemia. Methodology: with a midwifery care approach, namely SOAP which includes subjective, objective, assessment, plan, and implementation and evaluation sheets, carried out on 09 September 2024 to 23 September 2024 at the patient's house in Aik Are Hamlet, Ubung Village, Jonggat District. The results of the midwifery care that was carried out on Mrs M G1P0A0H0, 25 years old, 30-31 weeks pregnant with mild anemia, were carried out by giving Fe blood supplement tablets, Vitamin C, Vitamin B complex, and Calcium lactate. After 1 week of midwifery care, the mother experienced improvement. Hb 11.3 gr/dL and no discrepancy was found between theory and case. Conclusion: There was an increase in Hb in pregnant women after consuming Fe tablets, vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, and Calcium lactate for 1 week. Health workers are expected to be able to carry out health promotions about the importance of consuming Fe tablets, Vitamin C, Vitamin B complex, and Calcium lactate to increase iron absorption in the body.

Physics plays a major role in the world of health, including nursing. Various processes in nursing apply and consider the principles of physics to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of nursing actions, the validity of measurement results and patient safety. Knowledge of physics is also used to help understand the conditions and situations faced. The use of physics in the world of health affects two important aspects, namely physiology, pathophysiology and therapy. Physiological physics can explain the function of the human body and related conditions, both in healthy and sick conditions. In terms of therapy, knowledge of physics is used in many aids used for diagnosis, healing and rehabilitation of patients. The material to be discussed below includes biomechanics, biooptics, bioacoustics and thermodynamics. These topics are some of the other topics that will be related and encountered in the nursing care process.  

This abstract will discuss the three main currents in modernism that emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries, namely Rationalism, Empiricism, and Materialism. These three schools have had a major influence on the development of philosophical and scientific thought in the modern era. Rationalism pioneered by René Descartes emphasized that reason (ratio) is the main source of valid knowledge. Rationalist philosophers argue that truth can be achieved through deductive reasoning and innate ideas that exist in the human mind. They believe that mathematics and logic are ideal models for achieving definite knowledge. Empiricism developed by John Locke and David Hume holds that sensory experience is the main foundation of knowledge. Empiricists reject the concept of innate ideas and assert that the human mind is initially a "tabula rasa" (blank slate) which is then filled in by experience. They developed an inductive method of gaining knowledge through observation and experimentation. Materialism promoted by philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes views that reality is basically material or physical. This school rejects mind-body dualism and assumes that mental phenomena can be explained through material processes. Modern materialism developed in line with advances in science and provided the basis for a mechanistic understanding of nature and humans. These three schools have shaped the modern perspective on knowledge, scientific methods, and the nature of reality. Although each has limitations, their contributions remain relevant in philosophical discussions and contemporary scientific developments.
