The methods used include community-based health education, blood pressure checks, pre- and post-tests to measure changes in knowledge, and structured healthy exercise activities. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge after the intervention, reflected in the difference in pre- and post-test scores with a p value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). In addition, healthy exercise activities increased community participation and involvement, and encouraged the formation of sustainable physical activity habits. Overall, the SERASI program has proven effective in increasing community knowledge, awareness, and behavioral changes towards hypertension prevention, thus potentially supporting risk factor control and improving the quality of local community health. These findings are relevant for planning sustainable local and national community-based public health programs.

The Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) is characterized by high seismic activity due to its proximity to the subduction zone and the presence of active fault systems, particularly the Opak Fault. The 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake revealed significant vulnerability in local building structures and highlighted the complex geological conditions governing seismic wave propagation. This study aims to calculate and map the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) distribution in Prambanan District, Klaten Regency—one of the areas closest to the 2006 earthquake source. PGA values were estimated using the McGuire attenuation relationship, based on a moment magnitude of Mw 6.3 and the hypocentral distance to 88 observation points distributed at approximately 900-meter intervals. The resulting PGA map indicates values ranging from 26.7 to 31.7 gal, with a clear spatial trend showing increasing intensity from the northern to the southern parts of the study area. Higher PGA values occur in regions near the Opak Fault and in areas dominated by unconsolidated volcanic deposits of the young Merapi formation. These loose sediments amplify seismic waves, resulting in stronger ground motion compared to areas composed of more compact sedimentary rocks. The spatial pattern of PGA corresponds well with the distribution of structural damage recorded during the 2006 earthquake. The findings emphasize the significant role of local geology and fault proximity in shaping seismic hazard levels. Consequently, this study provides essential insights for disaster mitigation strategies, land-use planning, and structural vulnerability assessment within the Prambanan area.

Closed distal humerus fractures are injuries involving the distal portion of the humeral bone without disruption of the overlying skin, most commonly resulting from direct trauma such as the impact of a heavy object or blunt force to the elbow region. Although relatively uncommon in adults, this type of fracture presents considerable complexity due to its proximity to neurovascular structures and the elbow joint. Diagnosis is established through targeted anamnesis, comprehensive physical examination, and radiographic imaging in two standard projections to assess the location, fracture pattern, and degree of displacement. Additional modalities such as computed tomography (CT) may be indicated in cases of articular or comminuted fractures to enhance operative planning. Management depends on fracture stability, the extent of displacement, and the condition of surrounding soft tissues. In unstable or comminuted fractures, operative intervention such as Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) is the preferred approach to restore bony continuity, reconstruct articular anatomy, and enable early mobilization. The primary therapeutic goals are to optimize elbow function, maintain joint stability, and prevent long-term complications including stiffness, malunion, delayed union, or non-union. Postoperative rehabilitation plays a crucial role in preventing restricted range of motion and restoring extremity strength. This case report describes a 49-year-old male with a comminuted closed distal humerus fracture of the left arm following direct trauma from a heavy object. The patient underwent complete clinical and radiological evaluation and was treated with ORIF. Early outcomes demonstrated adequate restoration of stability and alignment, affirming that accurate diagnostic assessment and timely intervention significantly contribute to optimal functional recovery of the affected extremity.

The effectiveness of a retail store layout plays a crucial role in supporting operational efficiency, service flow, and customer experience. Brother Parfume, a perfume refill retail store, currently applies a bar-service layout designed based on intuition and daily operational needs rather than systematic planning. This often results in inefficient movement patterns, limited space utilization, and suboptimal coordination among functional areas. This study aims to redesign the store layout by applying the Entity Relationship Chart (ERC) and Total Closeness Rating (TCR) methods to identify functional relationships and determine the ideal spatial arrangement. Data were collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with the store owner to understand the interaction between service areas, product displays, and storage sections. The ERC analysis shows that the service area, perfume display, and bottle display have the highest functional interdependence, while the storage area has the lowest necessity for proximity. TCR results confirm these findings, with the service area and perfume display each scoring 90, bottle display 21, and storage 3. Based on these results, two alternative layouts are proposed that integrate high-priority areas into a unified service zone and position storage separately to minimize unnecessary movement. The redesigned layout is expected to enhance service speed, optimize space utilization, support operational procedures, and strengthen the store’s servicescape. This research contributes practical insights into the application of ERC and TCR methods for small-scale retail operations, particularly in the perfume refill sector, where service efficiency and spatial constraints are critical.

This study aims to analyze the role of teachers in strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile (P5) as an effort to develop the character of third-grade students at SDN Kestalan. Strengthening P5 is an essential component of the Merdeka Curriculum because it functions to shape students’ character holistically through six main dimensions. However, the implementation of P5 in elementary schools still faces several challenges, such as uneven teacher understanding, less structured planning, and diverse student characteristics. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with observation, interview, and documentation techniques to obtain in-depth data on teacher practices, integration strategies, obstacles, and the impact of P5 implementation. The results show that teachers have an adequate understanding of the P5 concept and strive to integrate it through interactive lectures, question-and-answer sessions, simple experiments, the habituation of the 5S culture, and creative projects that actively involve students. The obstacles encountered are generally related to discipline issues, emotional immaturity, limited facilities, and suboptimal parental involvement. However, these challenges can be reduced through personal approaches, positive motivation, support from school facilities, and collaboration with parents. The implementation of P5 has been proven to have a positive impact on students’ character development, especially in the aspects of politeness, cooperation, responsibility, and self-confidence. Therefore, the strategic role of teachers and the support of a conducive learning environment are key factors in the success of character strengthening through P5.
