BACKGROUND: In intracranial tumors, glucocorticoids are the main therapy to treat peritumoral edema. Neurologic Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (NANO) score is an instrument that can assess neurological function objectively and practically in patients with intracranial tumors. AIM: This study aims to determine the effect of dexamethasone administration on the NANO score of intracranial tumor patients. METHODS: This study was a pre-experimental study with a pre and post-test design at the H. Adam Malik General Hospital in Medan from March to September 2020. The study population was intracranial tumor patients. The research subject were 37 subjects taken consecutively. Treated with dexamethasone injection, then examined the NANO score before and after receiving dexamethasone injection on days 1, 2, and 3. Statistical analysis with Friedman test. RESULTS: Based on the demographic characteristics of the research subjects, the mean age was 53.29 ± 8.5 years. Most of the research subjects were male (54.1%) while female (45.9%). Most types of intracranial tumors were secondary tumors (59.5%) while primary tumors (40.5%). The significant effect of dexamethasone on NANO score in patients with intracranial tumors (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: There is an effect of dexamethasone on the NANO score of patients with intracranial tumors.

Background : The use of smartphones and other digital devices such as laptops and tablets is familiar in Indonesian society. Excessive uses of the devices are associated with dry eye syndrome and tear film dysfunction. The intensity of blue light when penetrating the eye is believed to affect tear film stability. Thus it will encourage tear evaporation which proved by Schirmer test.Objective : To find out the difference of Schirmer test results before and after using a smartphone with  various screen brightness levels.Methods : This study used pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study. The research subjects were students of the Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University (n = 30) who were selected by purposive sampling. In this study, the research subjects used smartphones for an hour with a predetermined screen brightness level, with the same room lighting. Before and after treatment the subject was measured the quantity of tears using the Schirmer test. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, Mann Whitney U test, and Kruskal Wallis test.Results : The average pretest result on low brightness was 25,60 ± 9,44 and the post-test result was 17,60 ± 8,45. The pre-test result on medium brightness was 27,90 ± 9,46 and the post-test result was 24,80 ± 10,46. The pre-test result on high brightness was 23,60 ± 6,80 and the post-test result was 19,10 ± 7,95. The Schirmer test results before and after using smartphones with low brightness showed a significant different (P<0.05) and there was no significant difference for the pre-post test using smartphones with medium and high brightness. Comparison of Schirmer test results on low, medium and high screen brightness did not show a significant difference.Conclusion : There is no significant difference between the Schirmer test results among low, medium and high screen brightness after one hour of smartphone usage.

This research aimed at discovering the validity and effectiveness of the interactive media of "Venn Gram" to improve the conceptual understanding of the set operations. This research was a development research (research and development). The research subjects were the students of 7th grade who consisted of nine students. The data collection techniques were in the form of a validation questionnaire and test. The subjects were in the form of pre-test and post-test questions which later the answer sheets were used as an increase of students' conceptual understanding before and after using the media. The validation questionnaire results showed that 84% of the media were very valid, 83% of the material was very valid, and 82% of the test questions were very valid. The test results found that seven students experienced an increase in the pre-test and post-test scores. Meanwhile, two other students experienced a decrease. The results of students who had increased showed that the ability of students in understanding the concept of set operations was included in the high criteria before and after using the media. The media of the Venn Gram can be used to improve the conceptual understanding of set operations.

Data collection techniques using observation and test descriptions to determine student learning outcomes that are assessed using an assessment rubric. Before the data were analyzed, the instrument was tested for validity and reliability. After the research was carried out and the data collected, the pre-test and post-test results were analyzed. The pretest result reached an average of 64.98 into the sufficient category. Then at the posttest the average overall score is 71.28 in the good category. For the requirement test, data analysis was carried out by using the chi-square normality test, while the hypothesis testing technique used the t-test. Hypothesis test results obtained tcount>ttable. It means the conclution that there are differences in student science learning outcomes before and after the Science, Environment, Technology, And Society approaches are used based on CTL in grade IV SDN 6 Masbagik Selatan in the 2020/2021 academic year.

Trimester III is the period of pregnancy which is calculated from the gestational age of the 28th week to the 40th week. Psychological changes in pregnant women are estimated to occur 80%. third trimester. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of hypnobirthing, yoga and pregnancy exercise on the anxiety level of third trimester pregnant women at BPM Griya Bunda Ceria in 2020. Research method: quantitative research, using the shapiro wilt test method with pre-test and post-test approaches. in this study were all third trimester pregnant women who checked their pregnancy at BPM Griya Bunda Ceria Palembang. Sampling using purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out by means of observation using a questionnaire sheet. The results: obtained from a total of 15 respondents. Based on the results of the Shapiro Wilt test, the p-Value is 0.05 where >α = 0.05 means that there is a significant influence between before and after hypnobirthing is done.statistically, the p-Value is 0,000, meaning that there is a significant effect between before and after yoga. Thus the hypothesis which states that there is an effect of yoga on the anxiety level of pregnant women in the third trimester which is statistically proven based on the paired shapiro wilt test, the p-Value is 0.00 in yoga, p-Value is 0.00 in pregnancy exercise, and the statistical test results are said to be related if the value The calculated p-Value <= 0.05 then Ho is rejected, meaning that it is significant, so the conclusion is that the two variables have a relationship, on the contrary, if the calculated p-Value> = 0.05, then Ho is accepted, meaning that the two variables have no significant relationship.

This research is motivated by the lack of confidence of students in expressing opinions in the school environment or society. Confidence in expressing opinions makes students active in the teaching and learning process, daring to express their opinions, dare to reject something that is considered incorrect, not hesitating in attitude. By increasing students' confidence in expressing their opinions, it is expected that students can become individuals who are confident in their abilities.The method used in this study is a quantitative method using the Pre-Expansion Designs design in the form of a Pretest-Posttest group. this design to find out the results of the treatment more accurately, in this study conducted 2 observations (measurements), namely comparing the conditions before and after being treated.The results of the research obtained by the Pre-test Results of the sample showed that the average percentage of self-confidence before joining the Information Service increased students' self-confidence by 35.64% which was included in the medium category. After getting the treatment experience an increase and fall into the medium category. The post test results showed that the average percentage of self-confidence after taking treatment in the form of information services increased students' confidence in expressing opinions by 64.04%, which was included in the High category.The conclusion of this study is that there is a positive change in the form of increasing students' self-confidence after being treated with information services in expressing their opinions.
