Organic agriculture plays a vital role in Indonesia’s agricultural development, with a key challenge being how to boost productivity efficiently and sustainably. Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) derived from natural materials provides an eco-friendly option to improve soil fertility and crop yields. Bamboo shoots (Bambusa spp.), rich in organic carbon and gibberellin, present strong potential as LOF raw material to support plant growth. This study evaluated the effect of bamboo shoot-based LOF on the growth and yield of white radish (Raphanus sativus). The research was conducted from May to August 2025 in Kalolok, Batupapan Village, Tana Toraja Regency, South Sulawesi, at an altitude of 775 m. LOF was produced by fermenting 200 kg of ground bamboo shoots with 4 kg palm sugar, 1 liter EM4, and 200 liters water for 14 days. Treatments consisted of 0, 100, 200, and 300 ml per liter of water, applied twice at two-week intervals starting 14 days after planting. Using a randomized block design with four treatments and three replications, variables observed included plant height, leaf number, tuber size, and yield. Results showed that 300 ml/liter LOF gave the best outcomes: tallest plants (27 cm), most leaves (15.89), largest tubers (29.37 cm length; 6.06 cm diameter), and highest weight (731 g/plant; 6936.67 g/plot). These effects are linked to balanced nutrients (N, P, K, Mg, Ca) enhancing vegetative growth and tuber development. Thus, bamboo shoot-based LOF at 300 ml/liter is recommended as an effective organic fertilizer for white radish.

Breast tumors are masses or lumps in the breast. Treating breast tumors requires several treatment methods, such as surgery. One of the impacts that arise after surgery is infection. One effort to prevent infection during hospitalization and after the patient returns home from the hospital is by providing sterile kit care education to increase independence in preventing infection in post-operative wounds. The purpose of this study was to determine of the effectiveness of "Sterile Kit Care" education on the level of patient independence in preventing infection in post-operative wounds of breast tumors at Harapan Anda Islamic Hospital, Tegal. The research design used in this study was a quasi-experimental with a pretest and posttest design with a control group. The sample of this study was 70 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis techniques used the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. Before the intervention, the intervention and control groups had a sufficient level of independence. After the intervention, the intervention group had a sufficient level of independence, while the control group had a sufficient level of independence. There was a difference in the level of patient independence in preventing infection in post-operative wounds of breast tumors after being given sterile kit care education between the intervention group and the control group p value (0.000). Sterile kit care education was effective in increasing the level of patient independence in preventing infection in post-operative wounds of breast tumors at Harapan Anda Islamic Hospital, Tegal (0.018). It is hoped that sterile kit care education can be a routine activity for all mothers with a history of breast tumors by providing an explanation of good and correct wound care regarding the prevention of post-operative wound infections of breast tumors.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation techniques in reducing headache pain in hypertensive patients in the inpatient ward of Harapan Anda Hospital in Tegal City. Hypertension is often accompanied by complaints of headaches, which is a significant problem for patients. One non-pharmacological approach that can be used to alleviate headaches caused by hypertension is progressive muscle relaxation therapy. In this study, 55 respondents with hypertension and complaints of headache were involved. The research used a quasi-experimental design with a quantitative approach. Before and after the intervention, patients underwent progressive muscle relaxation therapy for three consecutive days, with a duration of fifteen minutes per session. Pain levels were assessed using a pain scale before and after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that 53 patients (96%) experienced a decrease in pain levels after the therapy. The average pain scale significantly decreased, with moderate pain levels reducing from 89.1% to 3.6%, while mild pain increased from 10.9% to 85.5%. The Wilcoxon test results indicated a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that progressive muscle relaxation therapy is effective in reducing headache pain in hypertensive patients. This therapy has been shown to be a simple, safe method that can be applied both independently by patients and in healthcare services. Therefore, progressive muscle relaxation can be an effective alternative in managing headaches in hypertensive patients.

Fever in children, if not properly managed, can lead to several negative effects such as excessive fluid loss through evaporation, dehydration, seizures, decreased consciousness, and even death if left untreated. Non-pharmacological interventions to reduce fever include water tepid sponge therapy and cool patch therapy. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and posttest three-group approach. Respondents were divided into three groups: water tepid sponge, cool patch, and control. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. The Wilcoxon test showed a significance value of 0.000 in the Water Tepid Sponge group, 0.000 in the Cool Patch group, and 0.002 in the control group. The Mann-Whitney test showed no significant difference between the pre-test body temperature of the Water Tepid Sponge group and the control group (p = 0.063 > 0.05), while a significant difference was found in the post-test (p = 0.000 < 0.05). For the Cool Patch group, there was no significant difference in the pre-test compared to the control (p = 0.672), but a significant difference was found in the post-test (p = 0.001). The Mann-Whitney test comparing the pre-test and post-test temperature differences between the Water Tepid Sponge and Cool Patch groups showed a significance value of 0.000. The mean rank for temperature reduction in the Water Tepid Sponge group was 35,27, while in the Cool Patch group it was 17,73. Both Water Tepid Sponge and Cool Patch therapies have an effect on reducing fever in pediatric patients in the Parkit Ward of QIM Hospital Batang. Water Tepid Sponge therapy is more effective than Cool Patch therapy in reducing fever.

This research is a development study that aims to create a product in the form of a learning aid, namely audio-visual media through the GeoGebra Classic application, which is used for 3-dimensional geometric shapes lessons in grade V of YPNU Elementary School Medan. This research was conducted because teachers still do not utilize technology optimally in teaching, especially in mathematics subjects related to spatial shapes. The lack of engaging and interactive teaching methods for complex topics like 3D geometric shapes often leads to reduced student interest and understanding. To improve the mathematics learning process on the topic of spatial shapes, audio-visual media was created with the help of the GeoGebra Classic 5 application. The goal is to provide variations in mathematics learning media and increase student interest in the lesson. The development of this media allows students to visualize 3D geometric shapes more clearly and interactively. The instrument used to collect data was a questionnaire that included questions to assess the effectiveness of the media from the perspective of educators and students. The results of the evaluation revealed that learning using this media received 93% responses from teachers and 87% from students, which indicates that the media is very effective. The positive feedback from both groups suggests that this audio-visual tool can enhance students' understanding of spatial geometry concepts and improve the overall learning experience. This study offers an innovative approach to teaching mathematics and highlights the importance of integrating technology into the classroom to foster better engagement and learning outcomes.

Psychological fatigue is a common condition experienced by nursing students due to heavy academic workload, clinical practice demands, and emotional pressure during the learning process. This condition may negatively affect concentration, learning motivation, and overall mental health. One non-pharmacological intervention strategy proven effective in reducing stress and psychological fatigue is Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) based on Jacobson’s technique. In this community service program, PMR was combined with instrumental music to provide a more optimal relaxation effect and to be easily applied by students independently. The purpose of this activity was to provide education, training, and hands-on experience for students in practicing Self-Guided PMR combined with instrumental music as a preventive and promotive effort for mental health. The program was carried out on Thursday, August 14, 2025, involving 15 nursing students as participants. The stages of implementation included delivering material on PMR concepts and mental health, demonstrating Jacobson’s technique, independent practice of PMR with instrumental music, and a reflection session to explore participants’ experiences. The evaluation results indicated that most students reported feeling calmer, more relaxed, experiencing reduced muscle tension, and decreased symptoms of psychological fatigue after the intervention. In addition, students stated that this technique was easy to practice independently, making it a potential simple strategy to maintain mental health throughout their nursing studies. In conclusion, the implementation of Self-Guided PMR based on Jacobson’s technique combined with instrumental music was effective in reducing psychological fatigue among nursing students and in increasing awareness of the importance of independent relaxation practice as part of maintaining mental and physical balance.
