The increase in the number of elderly residents demands the provision of residential facilities that not only meet physical needs, but also support the psychological and social well-being of their users. This study aims to formulate the concept of behavioral architecture-based nursing home design by focusing on the relationship between elderly activity patterns, privacy levels, and spatial relationships of space in the local context of Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach in the framework of architectural design, with data collection through observation of elderly activities, site analysis, and documentation studies. Activity data was analyzed to identify space needs and usage patterns, then synthesized with site characteristics to formulate the concepts of zoning, circulation, and behavior-based spatial relationships. The results of the study show that the activities of the elderly form a layered behavioral structure, including residential and health activities as primary needs as well as social, productive, and educational activities as support for psychosocial welfare. Hierarchically arranged space zoning based on privacy levels has been proven to improve the readability of the space, sense of security, and comfort of the elderly. The integration of green open spaces as part of the activity system also strengthens support for light physical activity and social interaction. This study confirms that the application of behavioral architecture allows the translation of data on elderly behavior and site conditions into a contextual, humanist, and quality-of-life-oriented design concept. These findings provide practical implications for designers and policymakers in the development of sustainable elderly housing.

The rapid expansion of digital technology has intensified the circulation of pornographic content, making it increasingly accessible across various online platforms and posing significant risks to social, psychological, and moral stability. This study aims to examine the underlying factors contributing to the spread of pornographic content, its impact on individuals and society, and the urgency of strengthening regulatory and preventive measures. Using a qualitative approach supported by interviews and questionnaires distributed to university students in Jatinangor and Bandung, the research explores public perceptions, access patterns, and social responses regarding pornography in digital spaces. The findings reveal that most respondents consider pornography dissemination a deviant behavior, with economic motives and revenge-driven actions emerging as predominant driving factors. The study also shows that existing legal regulations are perceived as insufficient in mitigating the rapid growth of pornographic content online. These results highlight the importance of enhancing digital literacy, strengthening law enforcement, and promoting moral education to reduce the risks associated with pornography exposure. The study contributes to a deeper criminological understanding of deviant behavior in digital environments and underscores the need for collaborative societal efforts to address this phenomenon.

Asthma is a non-communicable lung disease, with symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing and repeated coughing. Attacks can last for only a few minutes, hours, days or up to several weeks. The therapy given in this case using Infra red aims to relax the respiratory muscles and also improve blood circulation. Chest physiotherapy includes a nebulizer which aims to deliver drugs in the form of gas that can be inhaled by the patient's respiratory tract. Postural Drainage aims to drain mucus from various segments in the lungs to the larger airways with the help of gravity. Tappotement aims to divert sputum from the lungs. Works This Scientific Writing is a case study, raising patient cases and collecting data through the physiotherapy process. The modality provided is Infra red and Chest physiotherapy. The results showed significant improvements after six therapy sessions. Cough intensity decreased from frequent to no cough, while shortness of breath reduced from moderate to none. Auscultation revealed that wheezing and ronchi sounds, initially present in both lungs, eventually disappeared. Additionally, thoracic expansion improved, and the respiratory rate, initially 32 breaths per minute, decreased to 24 breaths per minute, approaching normal levels. In conclusion the combination of Infrared therapy and Chest physiotherapy is effective in managing Bronchial Asthma, particularly in reducing sputum production, improving thoracic expansion, and normalizing breathing patterns. This therapy can serve as a supportive approach in pediatric physiotherapy for respiratory disorders caused by inflammation and mucus accumulation.

The role of museums is very important, one of which is as a source of historical and cultural education by displaying high-value collection objects. Every collection object must have its own story and history, and also each collection object must have a different time of occurrence or period. Therefore, this research aims to determine circulation patterns that support the presentation of material in museums, especially circulation patterns at the Bank Indonesia Museum, Jakarta. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach whose preparation was carried out narratively. Data collection in this research was carried out by direct observation in the field and using secondary data such as via the internet and existing journals. The theoretical basis used by the author in this research is a book by Tissink entitled narrative architecture. The results of the research can be concluded that the circular circulation pattern is considered good for use in a museum because it has a connection between one room and another, so it can strengthen the storyline in it.

Understanding of the Earth's rotation is often limited to the alternation of day and night. However, its impact is far more complex, including the formation of time zones and varying climate patterns. The objectives of this study include analyzing the Earth's rotation's influence on the formation of time differences between regions based on longitude and the relationship between the Earth's rotation and climate variations caused by atmospheric movement and global wind patterns. This study employs literature review techniques using secondary data, which involves collecting data indirectly by studying the relevant objects. The use of secondary data related to Earth's rotational movement influences time and climate is based on findings from previous research. The findings of this study reveal that the Earth's rotation causes the alternation of day and night and time differences in each region, with each 15-degree difference in longitude resulting in a one-hour time difference. In terms of climate, the Earth's rotation produces the Coriolis force, which deflects the direction of wind and ocean currents, thereby forming atmospheric circulation patterns such as the Hadley, Ferrel, and polar cells. These circulation patterns determine temperature and precipitation distribution across various regions, so the Earth's rotation directly shapes the distinct global climate characteristics of each area

Microplastics have emerged as a serious threat to tropical marine ecosystems in Indonesia, particularly in coastal areas with dense populations, major river estuaries, and busy shipping routes. This study aims to develop a predictive model of microplastic dispersion using partial differential equations based on ocean current data. The data set includes ocean currents derived from satellite imagery, global oceanographic models, and field observations, combined with information on microplastic sources from coastal human activities. The modeling process was conducted through numerical simulations using the finite difference method, taking into account geographic boundary conditions and numerical stability. The results indicate that the spatial distribution of microplastics is strongly influenced by seasonal current patterns closely associated with the Asian-Australian monsoon system. Microplastic concentrations tend to increase in areas with closed circulation and complex marine topography, with the highest accumulation identified in the Makassar Strait and the Java Sea. These findings highlight the critical role of ocean currents and other oceanographic factors in governing the transport and accumulation of microplastics in tropical seas. Ecologically, the outcomes suggest serious risks for coastal ecosystems, marine biodiversity, and the fisheries sector that supports Indonesia’s coastal communities. The implications of this study emphasize the need for more comprehensive marine environmental management strategies, strengthened field monitoring, and the integration of scientific models into plastic pollution control policies.

As China accelerates Hainan's development into a globally competitive Free Trade Port (FTP), this study examines how strategic policies are transforming the island into an international tourism hub. Against the backdrop of China's dual-circulation economic strategy, the research employs policy analysis, tourism statistics (2018-2023), and case studies of key projects like the Haitang Bay duty-free shopping complex and Sanya's luxury resort developments to assess Hainan's transformation. The methodology combines quantitative analysis of visitor growth patterns with qualitative evaluation of infrastructure investments and marketing campaigns targeting international markets. Findings reveal that visa-free policies for 59 countries and expanded duty-free quotas (100,000 RMB annually per visitor) have increased foreign tourist arrivals by 48% since 2020, while digital initiatives like the "Hainan Travel App" have enhanced visitor experiences. However, results also identify persistent challenges including seasonal tourism imbalances, environmental pressures from coastal development, and competition with established Southeast Asian destinations. The study concludes that while Hainan has successfully elevated its status among Chinese domestic tourists, achieving global hub status requires improved air connectivity, cultural tourism diversification beyond beach resorts, and stronger sustainability measures - offering valuable lessons for tourism-led development in emerging economies.
