Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and significantly affects physical function and quality of life. This study aimed to describe the management and clinical outcomes of acupuncture treatment for patients with musculoskeletal low back pain at the MCO Ladies Clinic, Bekasi. This study employed a qualitative case study design involving one participant diagnosed with chronic low back pain. Comprehensive assessments were conducted using the four Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) examination methods (Wang, Wen, Wen, and Qie). The participant underwent six acupuncture treatment sessions between May 6 and May 16, 2025. Therapy was administered according to TCM syndrome differentiation using acupuncture points BL23 (Shenshu), BL25 (Dachangshu), GV3 (Yaoyangguan), BL40 (Weizhong), KI3 (Taixi), BL60 (Kunlun), and Ashi points. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing clinical findings and therapeutic outcomes across treatment sessions. The participant was diagnosed with Kidney Deficiency accompanied by Qi and Blood Stagnation. Progressive clinical improvement was observed throughout the six treatment sessions. Pain intensity decreased from 6 to 1 on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), muscle spasms diminished, lumbar range of motion improved, and daily functional activities became easier to perform. No adverse events were reported during therapy. Acupuncture management based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes in reducing pain, improving lumbar function, and enhancing daily activities in a patient with chronic low back pain. These findings support acupuncture as a promising complementary intervention for managing chronic musculoskeletal low back pain.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of Visionary Leadership, Teacher Competence, and Learning Innovation on Education Quality, both partially and simultaneously, in private high school teachers in Tangerang City. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 115 selected respondents using sampling techniques, then analyzed using analytical prerequisite tests (normality, homogeneity, and linearity) as well as simple and multiple linear regression analysis with the help of SPSS 25. The results showed that Visionary Leadership had a positive and significant effect on the Quality of Education (?yx1 = 0.703; count 9.761 > table 1.981), Teacher Competence had a positive and significant effect on the Quality of Education (?yx2 = 0.162; count 2.008 > table 1.981), and Learning Innovation had a positive and significant effect on the Quality of Education (?yx3 = 0.035; count 1.987 > table 1.981). Simultaneously, these three variables also have a significant effect on the Quality of Education with a Fcal value of 89.794 at a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, forming a regression equation Y = 0.703X1 + 0.162X2 + 0.035X3. Visionary Leadership proved to be the most dominant variable that affects the Quality of Education compared to the other two variables. These findings confirm that improving the quality of education in private high schools will be more effective if it is focused on strengthening the visionary leadership of school principals, without neglecting teacher competency improvement and continuous learning innovation.

Abstract

This study compared the top-down and cut-and-cover construction methods for tunnel construction in the Jakarta MRT Phase II project. The objective was to evaluate the differences in excavation volume, construction duration, and labor efficiency between the two methods. This study employed a descriptive-analytical case study approach using secondary data, including project drawings, work quantities, equipment productivity data, and construction schedules. The analysis involved calculations of excavation volume, duration of each construction phase, and labor efficiency for both construction methods. The results showed that the top-down method required an excavation volume of approximately 179,162.15 m³ with a construction duration of approximately 2,007.5 days (±66 months), whereas the cut-and-cover method required an excavation volume of approximately 9,714.62 m³ with a duration of approximately 562 days (±18.5 months). The difference in construction duration between the two methods was 1,445.5 days, indicating that the cut-and-cover method enabled faster completion. However, the cut-and-cover method requires a larger construction area and may cause greater environmental disturbances, whereas the top-down method provides better excavation stability and is more suitable for densely populated urban areas. In conclusion, neither method can be considered universally superior; instead, the selection of a construction method should be based on site conditions and project requirements. The top-down method is more appropriate for dense urban environments where structural stability and limited surface disruption are priorities, while the cut-and-cover method is more suitable when rapid construction is required and sufficient working space is available.

Abstract

Interpersonal communication is a key factor in determining service quality in the tourism industry, particularly in interactions between tour leaders and tourists, as it contributes to tourists’ sense of security, comfort, and emotional connection. However, these interactions often encounter various challenges, including tourists’ reluctance to express complaints, misunderstandings of information, and situational pressures during tours. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of interpersonal communication between tour leaders and tourists at Cakrawala Perdana Tour and Travel and to identify barriers encountered during the communication process. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with two tour leaders as primary informants and two tourists as supporting informants. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model and DeVito’s five dimensions of interpersonal communication effectiveness: openness, empathy, supportiveness, positiveness, and equality. The findings indicated that effective interpersonal communication was demonstrated through clear information delivery, attentiveness to tourists’ feelings, the creation of a sense of security, consistently friendly interactions, and equitable and participatory treatment. The identified communication barriers included tourists’ reluctance to express complaints, misunderstandings arising from sudden schedule changes, difficulties in recognizing tourists’ emotions in crowded situations, time constraints, emotional pressure, and the dominance of certain participants in group interactions. To overcome these barriers, tour leaders employed several communication strategies, including the use of digital communication channels, emotional validation, personalized communication approaches, and priority setting.

Abstract

Modern lifestyle changes have led to increased consumption of processed foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG), which, at excessive doses, may induce oxidative stress and impair male reproductive function. This study investigated the fertility-related effects of red ginger rhizome extract (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) on sperm quality in MSG-induced rats (Rattus norvegicus L.). The experimental study employed a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of four treatment groups with six replications: the control group received 1,600 mg MSG, while P1, P2, and P3 received red ginger extract at doses of 500, 750, and 1,000 mg/kg body weight (BW), respectively. MSG induction and extract administration were performed orally for 14 days, with the extract administered two hours after MSG exposure. On day 15, the rats were euthanized, and sperm quality parameters, including motility, viability, and morphology, were assessed. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a least significant difference (LSD) post hoc test at ? = 0.05. The results demonstrated that red ginger extract significantly improved sperm quality impaired by MSG induction, with the greatest improvement observed at 1,000 mg/kg BW (P3): motility reached 88.89%, viability 83.89%, and normal morphology 82.79%. These findings suggest that red ginger may exert protective antioxidant effects against MSG-induced reproductive damage. This study contributes to the exploration of red ginger as a potential herbal intervention for supporting male reproductive health.

Abstract

Global audience studies often portray Generation Z as autonomous digital natives who have shifted toward private digital platforms. However, this study identifies a “Digital Native Paradox” in a developing regional context, where adolescents’ digital agency remains constrained by domestic structures. This study aimed to map conventional broadcast media consumption, particularly television and radio, among high school students in Bengkulu City and to assess the implementation of the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission’s P3SPS regulations. Using a quantitative descriptive design with a macro-survey approach, data were collected from 277 adolescents aged 14–18 years across nine public and private senior high schools and validated through field-method triangulation. The findings show that conventional broadcasting remains embedded in adolescents’ daily routines. Approximately 55% of respondents relied on free-to-air antennas, while 67% accessed television in shared living rooms, reinforcing parental influence over viewing choices and positioning adolescents largely as spontaneous or passive viewers of national and local television networks. In contrast, adolescents demonstrated greater autonomy in radio consumption, particularly as selective listeners of music programs during morning commuting hours (07:00–10:00 WIB). Television viewing was concentrated between 19:00 and 21:00 WIB, with some respondents reporting exposure of up to 7–8 hours daily. Moreover, 57% watched television without parental supervision, indicating limited household-level protection from adult-classified content. These findings suggest that P3SPS regulations alone are insufficient and should be complemented by stronger family-based media governance to protect adolescents within domestic environments.

Abstract

Grassroots political campaigns depend not only on programs and party organization but also on candidates’ ability to establish relationships with voters. This study examined how empathy, homophily, and rapport talk operated in Hj. Ela Dahlia’s Citizen Greeting Program during the 2024 Depok City legislative election. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the candidate and four citizens from diverse social backgrounds, supported by observation, documentation, media reports, and literature review. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, while research validity was strengthened through source and technique triangulation. The findings showed that similarities in social status, geographical background, values, language, and everyday experiences reduced social distance and facilitated the development of initial trust. Rapport talk, expressed through active listening, familiar language, familial framing, modest appearance, and egalitarian interaction, enabled citizens to feel respected and included. Empathy further transformed initial acceptance into relational trust by acknowledging citizens’ concerns and providing appropriate responses. Together, these mechanisms strengthened the candidate’s political credibility and may have contributed to electoral support; however, they could not be considered the sole determinants of electoral outcomes. The study concluded that consistent, empathetic, and relationship-oriented communication could strengthen grassroots political representation during electoral processes.
