Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by airway hyperactivity due to inflammation and reversible airflow obstruction. The most common triggers of asthma are allergies (food or inhalants such as dander, dust, pollen), exposure to cold temperatures, and upper respiratory infections. Non-pharmacological therapy can be carried out with the buteyko breathing technique which aims to reduce dyspnea, asthma attacks, wheezing, reduce symptoms of nasal congestion and stop coughing experienced by sufferers. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of buteyko exercise on dyspnea symptoms in asthma sufferers. The research method used was a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest to see differences in the dyspnea scale in the intervention group before and after the buteyko exercise. The results of the pre-test and post-test statistics p = 0.025 <0.05 where there were differences in the dyspnea scale after being given buteyko exercises. Prior to the Buteyko exercise, it was shown that 4 respondents (40%) had mild dyspnea, 4 respondents (40%) had mild, 2 respondents (20%) were mild. After doing the buteyko exercise, it was shown that 7 respondents (70%) had mild dyspnea, 3 respondents (30%) had mild symptoms. Research shows that there is a decrease in the level of dyspnea after being given buteyko exercises with an average dyspnea scale decreasing (negative rank) with a result of 3.00. It was concluded that there were differences in the dyspnea scale after being given buteyko exercises, that there were significant results for a decrease in the dyspnea scale in asthma sufferers.

The theory of consonants in English phonology is an important aspect in understanding the sound system in that language. Phonology is the study of how the sounds in language are used to form meaning. In English, consonants and vowels have different roles in forming word structure and sound articulation.Consonants in English are defined as sounds that experience resistance or airflow shift when spoken. There are various types of consonants in English, such as hissing consonants, popping consonants, sliding consonants, and so on. These consonants have certain characteristics, such as the place and manner of articulation, which distinguish one consonant from another.Places of articulation refer to the parts in the mouth or throat that are used to produce consonant sounds. For example, the lips, teeth, tongue, palate, and throat can play a role in the production of consonants. For example, the consonant /p/ is pronounced by bringing the lips together, while the consonant /k/ is pronounced by moving the back palate with the back of the tongue.The manner of articulation refers to the type of resistance or shift in airflow that occurs when pronouncing the consonant. Some examples of how consonants are articulated in English include complete closure of the airflow (eg /p/), partial obstruction of the airflow (eg /s/), or passage of air through the nose (eg /m/). The theory of consonants and vowels in English phonology helps to explain how these sounds form a distinctive language system. Knowledge of the place and manner of consonant articulation, as well as the position of the tongue and the tilt of the vowel lips, allows linguistics to analyze the differences in sounds in English. In the study of phonology, this theory also helps to understand sound patterns, sound changes, and the placement of sounds in words as well as in the broader structure of language.     

Background: Most respiratory disorders are caused by problems or diseases of the respiratory system, including the lungs. Inability of the lungs to expand (elasticity), as well as structural (anatomical) and functional airway obstructions that prevent the creation of breathable airflow, are signs of impaired lung function. Restriction and blockage are two types of lung function problems.Purpose: To analyze the application of the tripod position and pursed lip breathing technique to the increase in oxygen saturation in congested patients in the emergency room at PROF Hospital. Dr. SABOE TONGUE.Methods: Case report, which is a narrative report. The case study in this paper examines the use of a tripod position and pursed lip breathing technique to increase oxygen saturation in shortness of breath patients. Patients with asthma, lung cancer, TB, and COPD constitute the study population. Four patients with asthma, lung cancer, tuberculosis, and COPD were sampled for the study.Results: After the nurse's intervention was carried out, which was related to airway management in the fourth patient, the overall evaluation results were obtained, then the intervention was continued in the patient's treatment room.Conclusion: Based on the description above, people with respiratory problems often experience decreased functional daily activities, decreased concentration, and mood swings. As a result, if the condition of shortness of breath is allowed to continue unnoticed it will reduce oxygen saturation which in turn can cause cyanosis in patients who experience recurrent infections.  

Comfort can be provided from a building, inseparable from the existence of the building itself in the context of an environment that is limited by consideration of natural factors. In an effort to achieve comfort in buildings in tropical climates such as Indonesia, especially the city of Maumere, with characteristics of wind speed, humidity and relatively high air temperature and solar heat radiation can reach levels outside the human comfort zone. This study compares the speed and direction of wind flow in different lecture halls, seen from the level of height, direction and contour of the ground. The method used is data taken using equipment measured in the field and the results are simulated using WinAir4 from ECOTEC. The results obtained are the effect of altitude level, direction and contour orientation on wind speed and air flow in the design of the lecture hall in relation to thermal comfort.
