Background: To determine the effects of an educational playful intervention on nasal hygiene behaviors among preschool (3-4 years old) children. Methods: A quasi-experimental before-after study was conducted with 39 children attending public daycare center in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A group-based intervention consisted of two educational sessions to promote healthy behaviors for nasal hygiene. It was adopted playful strategies such as a story told by puppets, card games and simulation of nasal hygiene in front of the mirror. The outcome was evaluated by observing six healthy behaviors for nasal hygiene one week before and after the intervention. Differences in the outcome before and after the intervention were tested using Wilcoxon signed rank test and McNemar’s test. Results: The median of healthy nasal hygiene behaviors went from 3.0 to 4.0 after the intervention, with a significant statistical difference (P=0.0004) and a difference of behaviors. After the intervention, forcing the air out of one opened nostril increased from 5.1%to 30.8% (P=0.001, CI 95%: 0-0.440), forcing the air out of the other nostril increased from 5.1% to 28.2% (P=0.003/CI 95%: 0-0.50), throwing the piece of toilet paper in the garbage increased from 53.8% to 87.21% (P=0.04, CI 95%: 0.035-0.65), and sanitizing the hands with soap and water increased from 15.4% to 43.6% (P=0.039-0.76). Conclusion: the educational playful intervention improved the autonomy of preschoolers to adopt healthy nasal hygiene behaviors.

The research design using one-group pretest-posttest design with students of SMAN 2 Ngawi as sample research. The student conception  status finding by knowing concept (TK), not knowing concept (TTK), and misconception (MK), whereas intensity of misconception be analized by CRI. Results and analysis of research data found that there is a shift in conception after inquiry learning p rocess. Based on Wilcoxon’s signed rank test, the T value of test TK, TTK, and MK is less than T table at α = 0.05 , so it was concluded that inquiry learning increase TK and decrease TTK and MK. The influence of inquiry learning for understanding the influence was strengthened by the results of the t test tests before and after understanding the concept of inquiry learning that indicate a significant difference.  t-test results on tests of critical thinking before and after the inquiry learning also showed a significant difference. Inquiry learning can not reduce all of misconceptions. Reduction step again is with conceptual change. Based on Wilcoxon’s signed rank test was concluded that conceptual change learning can reduce misconception significantlyPenelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari pengaruh pembelajaran inkuiri terbuka disertai latihan berpikir kritis yang dilanjutkan dengan conceptual change sebagai upaya mereduksi miskonsepsi pada materi asam basa. Penelitian eksperimen semu ini menggunakan metode one group pretest-postest design dengan subyek penelitian  siswa kelas XI SMA Negeri 2 Ngawi. Profil konsepsi siswa dinyatakan dengan status tahu konsep (TK), tidak tahu konsep (TTK), dan miskonsepsi (MK), sedangkan intensitas miskonsepsi diperoleh dari hasil analisis CRI jawaban siswa.  Hasil dan analisis hasil tes pemahaman konsep menemukan bahwa terjadi pergeseran konsepsi setelah proses pembelajaran inkuiri terbuka. Berdasarkan wilcoxon’s signed rank test diperoleh T hitung untuk semua status TK, TTK, dan MK kurang dari nilai T tabel pada α = 0,05 dan n = 25, sehingga   disimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran inkuiri meningkatkan jumlah TK dan menurunkan TTK dan MK.  Pengaruh pembelajaran inkuiri terhadap pemahaman konsep serta kemampuan berpikir kritis diketahui dari uji t hasil tes pemahaman konsep serta tes berpikir kritis sebelum dan setelah pembelajaran. Hasil uji t pada α = 0,05 menunjukkan adanya perbedaan signifikan pemahaman konsep serta kemampuan berpikir kritis antara sebelum dan setelah pembelajaran inkuiri. Miskonsepsi yang masih tersisa setelah pembelajaran inkuiri direduksi kembali dengan strategi   conceptual change.

Endometriosis is a gynaecological disorder that is often characterised by dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and or infertility. These symptoms are very common and often found as a symptom of other diseases so that endometriosis is more difficult to diagnose or often diagnosed late. Therefore, diseases like this would be better if we prevent them before they suffer. Although endometriosis is caused by multifactor, we can still do simple prevention and be positive. However, several other factors cause this prevention not to be applied in daily life such as lack of knowledge, inadequate facilities or an environment that does not support. Therefore, health promotion as a medium of information and the establishment of community self-reliance is expected to shift bad habits or form new good habits to be more vigilant and prevent endometriosis. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with the pretest-posttest method and was processed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Based on the results of data analysis, there is a significant increase in the behaviour of female students before and after health promotion.

A research has been done to compare the differences on the enzyme creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level and muscle soreness before and after 4-weeks swim practices on swimmers of College swimming club. Eighteen healthy male swimmers (mean ± SD; age: 19,94 ± 1,86 years; weight: 65,28 ± 6,14 kg; height: 1,72 ± 0,43 m) participated in this study. All subjects performed their 4-weeks swim practices which consist of 2x120 hours per week with 500 meters average daily swim distance and weight training. Blood was collected before and after the practices and CPK were analyzed. Questionnaires concerning muscle soreness were filled put before each blood draw. Results were analyzed using normality test and Wilcoxon signed rank test (p<0.05). There was significant increase in CPK level during 4-weeks swim practices by 59.41% (p=0.044). Whereas for muscle soreness (overall and specifically in arms and thighs), there was no significant differences between before and after the 4-weeks swim practices. As a conclusion, participation in 4-weeks swim practices resulted in significant serum CPK enzyme elevation, but there was lack of significance in muscle soreness differences on swimmers of College swimming club.

Background: Infant tongue-tie can cause breastfeeding problems, which may be improved by frenotomy. However, controversy exists among the medical community. Research aim: To examine the influence of frenotomy on infants with posterior ankyloglossia, by quantifying the changes in breastfeeding and maternal nipple pain using standardized tools. Methods: Newborns ( N = 30) below 12 weeks of age were recruited from the Herzl–Goldfarb Breastfeeding Clinic between April 2014 and April 2015. Diagnosis of posterior ankyloglossia was made clinically. Frenotomy was performed. Mothers received breastfeeding counseling before and after the procedure. Pain and breastfeeding were assessed before the procedure, immediately after the procedure, and after 2 days, 7 days and 14 days. Breastfeeding was assessed using the LATCH Tool and by subjective questioning. Maternal nipple pain was assessed using the Numeric Rating System. Results: No complications were reported with frenotomy. There was a significant improvement in LATCH score immediately post-frenotomy, with an increase in median scores from 7.5 to 8.5 ( p < .0001, Wilcoxon signed rank test). There was a significant decrease in median pain score immediately post-frenotomy, from 3.0 on the left nipple and 3.25 on the right nipple, to 0 bilaterally ( p < .0001, Wilcoxon signed rank test). Subjective improvement in breastfeeding was reported by 90% of mothers immediately after frenotomy and 83% of mothers at Day 14. Conclusion: Frenotomy for posterior ankyloglossia may improve breastfeeding and nipple pain.

The aim of this study is to investigate 8 weeks Thera-Band trainings' effects on male swimmers' 100 m freestyle swimming performance.The study group is created by 20 (n = 20) licenced male athletes that had trained at least 3 days in a week and have been active in swimming sport at least 3 years in Gebze Genclerbirligi Swimming Club 20 (n = 20). Athletes were divided into experiment group (n = 10) and control group (n = 10) randomly. Training programme was applied to the study group for 55-60 minutes for 3 days on alternate days and times when the club does not have swimming training. 12 different Thera-Band trainings were applied for 40-45 mins and each set was 15 minutes.Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze differences between groups and Wilcoxon signed rank test was applied for analyzing the differences of intra-groups. SPSS 21.0 Statistics package software was used for statistical analyzes. The results show that there are no significantly differences between experimental group's and control group's post test results. (p>0.05). Statistically significant differences are found as a result of intra-group comparison of the experimental group's pre-test and post-test results (p<0.05).Depending on the results obtained after reviewing the literature, it can be concluded that Thera-Band training is effective on the performance improvement of swimmers aged 13-15 years.
