From the hypothesis test above using the Paired T-Test test because the research data was normally distributed and homogeneous. The results showed that for the acupuncture therapy Group, the p-value<0.001, which means the p-value <0.05, so Ha is accepted and H₀ is rejected. In the acupuncture therapy Group, p<0.001, which means the p-value <0.050, the results show that electroacupuncture is more effective on blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Low back pain is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects the muscles, bones, joints, and connective tissues, potentially impairing function and reducing quality of life. This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of acupuncture therapy with red ginger steeping on pain scale reduction and functional improvement in patients with low back pain. A quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest approach was used, involving 32 participants selected through total sampling at the Jakarta Hajj Dormitory from October 2023 to May 2024. Participants were divided into two groups: one receiving acupuncture therapy alone, and the other receiving a combination of acupuncture and red ginger steeping. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test yielded a p=0.010, indicating a significant improvement in pain scale and Back Pain Functional Scale (BPFS) scores in both groups after the intervention. The findings suggest that the combination of acupuncture and red ginger steeping is effective in reducing pain and enhancing functional ability in patients with low back pain.

Overweight is caused by many factors, including age, physical activity, gender, hormones, genetics, and environment. Acupuncture therapy can be used as a support for weight loss efforts because acupuncture can affect the central nervous system and activate specific areas in the brain. This study aims to determine the effect of ear and body acupuncture therapy on reducing waist circumference and body mass index in overweight cases at the Rinjani Sragen Gymnastics Studio. This study used a quantitative method of research using a “Quasi-Experimental” research design. The study sample was 45 people who were divided into 3 treatment groups, namely group I ear acupuncture therapy, group II ear and body acupuncture therapy, and group III body acupuncture therapy. The study began in January to March 2025 and was conducted at the Rinjani Sragen Gymnastics Studio. One-way ANOVA test analysis on waist circumference has a significant value of ρ of 0.017 (ρ <0.050) and for body mass index, p=0.004 (ρ <0.050), which means that ear and body acupuncture therapy affects reducing waist circumference and body mass index in overweight cases.

Abstract

The climate in Indonesia, which tends to be hot due to sunburn, can cause various skin problems. Although sunlight can be beneficial in the synthesis of vitamin D for the body, its adverse effects can also cause atrophy, pigment changes, wrinkles, sunburn, and malignancy (cancer), so the use of sunscreen is essential. The development of cosmetics now leads to natural ingredients, one of which is corn cobs. Corn cobs contain phenolic compounds that have been proven to have the ability as antioxidants that play a role in preventing the adverse effects of sunlight. This study aimed to determine the extract and water fraction SPF value and corncob chloroform originating from the Klaten area. This research was conducted in-vitro using UV-Vis spectrophotometry to assess the SPF of the test material. The results showed that the average SPF of the extracted gel, chloroform fraction gel, and corncob water fraction gel were 9.92; 9.56; 9.08, which means that corn cobs have sunscreen with a maximum SPF value category (SPF between 8-15).
