PENGARUH MOBILISASI CHEST TERHADAP PENINGKATAN EKSPANSI THORAKS PADA PENYAKIT PARU OBSTRUKTIF KRONIS DI BALAI BESAR KESEHATAN PARU MASYARAKAT MAKASSAR

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic disease characterized by productive cough, dyspnea and airway obstruction even though this disease is chronic and is a combination of emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma, but in certain circumstances worsening of respiratory function occurs . In some circumstances, the worsening of COPD can lead to respiratory failure.Methods: This research is a pre-experimental study with a one group pretest-posttest research design using a purposive sampling technique, which aims to determine an increase in thoracic expansion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with a population of 16 people, a total sample of 15 people is obtained based on the sample size formula and meeting the inclusion criteria, each sample was given chest mobilization treatment.Results: The results showed that the average value of thoracic expansion before treatment was at the axilla point = 0.53, costa point 4-5 = 2.33 and point proc. xyphoideus = 4.47 using a measuring instrument, namely a measuring tape. Statistical results using the Wilcoxon test show that the p value for thoracic expansion at each point is p = 0.000 which is less than α = 0.05 (p<α) which means the working hypothesis is accepted.Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is by giving chest mobilization for 8 treatments can produce a significant effect on changes in thoracic expansion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, in other words giving chest mobilization is more effective in increasing thoracic expansion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Keywords: Chest mobilization, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, thoracic expansion

Pembiasaan Sikap Tasamuh Santri Melalui Pembelajaran Rebana Kolosal

This research is motivated by the low habituation of the tasamuh attitude possessed by students at the Tasywiqul Furqon Islamic Boarding School in everyday life. Besides that, the learning method used in learning does not activate students, so students are easily bored and don’t even focus when receiving lessons. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of learning the colossal tambourine in order to increase the habituation of the santri’s tasamuh attitude and whether there are significant changes to the learning of the santri colossal tambourine. This research is a pre-experimental study with a one group pretest posttest research design. Data were obtained using pretest and posttest worksheets. The result show that there is a significant result (2-tailed) 0.000<0.05 which means that H o is rejected and H 1 is accepted. This shows that there is an effectiveness and a significant change in the learning of colossal tambourine in order to increase the habituation of the student’s tasamuh attitude. The average acquisition score of N after learning is 85.98 and before learning is only 67.61

Correctability of Students’ Anthropomorphic and Teleologic Language and Reasoning in Human Reproduction

The impetus in the formation of teleologic-anthropomorphic explanation emanates from the stimulation of the learners’ personal culture and language. This study ascertains the correctability of teleologic and anthropomorphic language and reasoning of students to abstract ideas and concepts in human reproduction. Employing 24 prospective Elementary Grade teachers under the Explicative-Reductive Method of One Group Pretest-Posttest Research design, this study focused on the determinants of students’ affordance of teleologic-anthropomorphic reasoning to select concepts in human reproduction. It was found out that the respondents had intermittently afforded teleologic-anthropomorphic languages across ages, sexes, and ethnicity before the treatment procedures. However, their affordances were diminished after the initiated classroom interventions. The change attributed to the independent variable is accounted at .673, which implies a great margin affecting the affordances of the respondents’ anthropomorphic and teleologic language and reasoning in human reproduction by 67.30%. Moreover, the age of the respondents is found to be interacting with their ethnic affiliation. Hence, students’ anthropomorphism and teleological language and reasoning are correctable.
