Factors Influencing the Carbon Footprint of Major Road Infrastructure—A Case Study of the Učka Tunnel
Authors: Grofelnik Hrvoje , Kovačić Nataša
Published: March 2023

In addition to its positive socioeconomic impact, tourism also has some negative effects on the environment, particularly through carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Although the impact of tourism on the environment is visible, many of the cause–effect relationships have not yet been adequately explored. In order to determine individual factors regarding the temporal variation in the carbon footprint of a major road infrastructure facility (the Učka Tunnel, Croatia), a regression analysis was conducted. The study analyzes the carbon footprint of the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods and uses factors at the national and regional levels influencing the region of Istria County, as representative of the developed tourism regions in the Mediterranean. The results of the research provide theoretical insight into the sustainability and cause–effect relationships between the economic and social factors of road transport in tourism-developed destinations, with characteristic seasonality. At the application level, the research results can be used to predict the temporal variations in the environmental impacts of road infrastructure, as well as economic parameters that can be used in the prediction process and crisis management models of major road facilities.

Published: March 2023

Tourism is being impacted by climate change all around the world. Tourism is now seen as one of the economic sectors least equipped for the risks and opportunities provided by climate change, and it is just now establishing the capacity to advance the knowledge required to teach businesses, communities, and governments about the concerns and potential solutions. As a small coastal island, Prince Edward Island (PEI) on Canada’s Atlantic coast is highly vulnerable to climate change extremes, including coastal erosion, sea-level rise, and flooding. The island’s tourism industry generates substantial revenue for businesses and the government, yet it is highly vulnerable to the climate extremes that impact beach and sea-faring attractions. Limited research has been reported on this topic, and most information on island tourism and how sustainable tourism is achievable is out of date. Here, we present evidence of climate-related impacts and vulnerabilities in tourism within PEI and highlight existing and future adaptation strategies to support sustainability in this sector. Key information gaps are highlighted, and recommendations are proposed to facilitate climate resilience in Prince Edward Island’s tourism sector.
Does Financial Resource Misallocation Inhibit the Improvement of Green Development Efficiency? Evidence from China
Authors: Han Yaqing , Wang Qiangqiang , Li Yushui
Published: March 2023

Improving the efficiency of green development is an important means of achieving high-quality development, and the optimal allocation of financial resources is the core factor in promoting green development. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China taken from 2005 to 2021, this paper constructs a financial resource misallocation (FM) index and green development efficiency (GDE) measurement system, empirically examining the impact and transmission path of FM on the GDE from the dual perspectives of financial resource element mismatch and structural mismatch. First, the results show that financial misallocation is the key factor inhibiting the improvement of GDE, and with the improvement of GDE, the inhibitory effect of financial misallocation decreases first and then increases in an inverted V-shaped trend. Second, the inhibitory effect of financial resource structure mismatch on GDE is greater than that of financial resource element mismatch. Moreover, after the degree of financial marketization is distinguished, this inhibitory effect is more evident in the regions with a low degree of financial marketization. Third, through mechanism analysis, we found that FM affects the improvement of GDE by inhibiting financial resource agglomeration through enterprise technological innovation and industrial structure height.

Published: March 2023

Computer networks can be alerted to possible viruses by using kill signals, which reduces the risk of virus spreading. To analyze the effect of kill signal nodes on virus propagation, we use a fractional-order SIRA model using Caputo derivatives. In our model, we show how a computer virus spreads in a vulnerable system and how it is countered by an antidote. Using the Caputo operator, we fractionalized the model after examining it in deterministic form. The fixed point theory of Schauder and Banach is applied to the model under consideration to determine whether there exists at least one solution and whether the solution is unique. In order to calculate the approximate solution to the model, a general numerical algorithm is established primarily based on Haar collocations and Broyden’s method. In addition to being mathematically fast, the proposed method is also straightforward and applicable to different mathematical models.

Published: March 2023

This review provides a detailed introduction to chiral gauge theories, renormalization theory, and the application of dimensional regularization with the non-anticommuting BMHV scheme for γ5. One goal was to show how chiral gauge theories can be renormalized despite the spurious breaking of gauge invariance and how to obtain the required symmetry-restoring counterterms. A second goal was to familiarize the reader with the theoretical basis of the renormalization of chiral gauge theories, the theorems that guarantee the existence of renormalized chiral gauge theories at all orders as consistent quantum theories. Relevant topics include BPHZ renormalization, Slavnov–Taylor identities, the BRST formalism, and algebraic renormalization, as well as the theorems guaranteeing that dimensional regularization is a consistent regularization/renormalization scheme. All of these, including their proofs and interconnections, are explained and discussed in detail. Further, these theoretical concepts are illustrated in practical applications with the example of an Abelian and a non-Abelian chiral gauge theory. Not only the renormalization procedure for such chiral gauge theories is explained step by step, but also the results of all counterterms, including the symmetry-restoring ones, necessary for the consistent renormalization, are explicitly provided.
The Hidden Side of Electro-Mobility: Modelling Agents’ Financial Statements and Their Interactions with a European Focus
Authors: Gómez Vilchez Jonatan J. , Pasqualino Roberto
Published: March 2023

While much attention has been given, to date, to subsidies and taxes, the literature on the topic is yet to address less visible aspects of electro-mobility. These include the interactions among players, including money exchanges, and balance sheet issues. Analysing these is needed, as it helps identify additional mechanisms that may affect electro-mobility. This paper reports a modelling exercise that applies the system dynamics method, with its focus on stock and flow variables. The resulting simulation model captures the financial statements of several macro agents. The results show that the objective of the study is met: the model remains ‘stock-flow consistent’, meaning that assets and equity and liabilities balance out. By attaining this, the model serves as a coherent framework that makes the “hidden” side of electro-mobility visible, for the first time, based on current state-of-the-art, with the implication that it facilitates the analysis of potential financial factors that may either jeopardise or be conducive to faster road electrification. We conclude that the incorporation of the financial statements of key electro-mobility agents and their interlinkages in a simulation model is both a feasible and desired property for policy-relevant models.

Published: March 2023

Confronting the age of artificial intelligence, exploring art through technology has become one of the directions of interdisciplinary development. Not only does artificial intelligence technology explore sustainability on a technical level; it can also take advantage of itself to focus on the visual perception of the living environment. People frequently interpret environmental features through their eyes, and the use of intuitive eye-tracking can provide effective data that can contribute to environmental sustainability in managing the environment and color planning to enhance the image of cities. This research investigates the visual responses of people viewing the historic city of Macau through an eye movement experiment to understand how the color characteristics of the physical environment are perceived. The research reveals that the buildings and plantings in the historic district of Macau are the most visible objects in the environment, while the smaller scale of St. Dominic’s Square, the Company of Jesus Square, and St. Augustine’s Square, which have a sense of spatial extension, have also become iconic environmental landscapes. This also draws visual attention and guides the direction of travel. The overall impressions of the Historic Centre of Macau, as expressed by the participants after the eye movement experiment, were mainly described as “multiculturalism”, “architectural style”, “traditional architecture”, “color scheme”, and “garden planting”. The 60 colors representing the urban color of Macau are then organized around these deep feelings about the environment. Therefore, for future inspiration, the 60 colors can be applied through design practice to create color expressions that fit the local characteristics, and thereby enhance the overall visual image of the city.

Freshwater snails are intermediate hosts for several snail-borne diseases affecting humans and animals. Understanding the distribution of snail intermediate hosts and their infection status is very important to plan and implement effective disease prevention and control interventions. In this study, we determined the abundance, distribution, and trematode infection status of freshwater snails in two agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia. We sampled snails from 13 observation sites and examined them for trematode infections using a natural cercarial shedding method. A redundancy analysis (RDA) was used to examine the relationship between snail abundance and environmental variables. Overall, a total of 615 snails belonging to three species were identified. Lymnea natalensis and Bulinus globosus were the dominant snail species, representing 41% and 40% of the total collection, respectively. About one-third of the total snail population (33%) shed cercariae. The cercariae species recorded were Xiphidiocercaria, Brevifurcate apharyngeate distome (BAD), Echinostome, and Fasciola. Snail species were found in high abundance in aquatic habitats located in the agricultural landscape. Therefore, land-use planning and protection of aquatic habitats from uncontrolled human activities and pollution can be considered as important strategies to prevent and control the spread of snail-borne diseases in the region.

Published: March 2023

Rotavirus (RVA) G8 is frequently detected in animals, but only occasionally in humans. G8 strains, however, are frequently documented in nations in Africa. Recently, an increase in G8 detection was observed outside Africa. The aims of the study were to monitor G8 infections in the Brazilian human population between 2007 and 2020, undertake the full-genotype characterization of the four G8P[4], six G8P[6] and two G8P[8] RVA strains and conduct phylogenetic analysis in order to understand their genetic diversity and evolution. A total of 12,978 specimens were screened for RVA using ELISA, PAGE, RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing. G8 genotype represented 0.6% (15/2434) of the entirely RVA-positive samples. G8P[4] comprised 33.3% (5/15), G8P[6] 46.7% (7/15) and G8P[8] 20% (3/15). All G8 strains showed a short RNA pattern. All twelve selected G8 strains displayed a DS-1-like genetic backbone. The whole-genotype analysis on a DS-1-like backbone identified four different genotype-linage constellations. According to VP7 analysis, the Brazilian G8P[8] strains with the DS-1-like backbone strains were derived from cattle and clustered with newly DS-1-like G1/G3/G9/G8P[8] strains and G2P[4] strains. Brazilian IAL-R193/2017/G8P[8] belonged to a VP1/R2.XI lineage and were grouped with bovine-like G8P[8] strains with the DS-1-like backbone strains detected in Asia. Otherwise, the Brazilian IAL-R558/2017/G8P[8] possess a “Distinct” VP1/R2 lineage never previously described and grouped apart from any of the DS-1-like reference strains. Collectively, our findings suggest that the Brazilian bovine-like G8P[8] strains with the DS-1-like backbone strains are continuously evolving and likely reassorting with local RVA strains rather than directly relating to imports from Asia. The Brazilian G8P[6]-DS-1-like strains have been reassorted with nearby co-circulating American strains of the same DS-1 genotype constellation. However, phylogenetic analyses revealed that these strains have some genetic origin from Africa. Finally, rather than being African-born, Brazilian G8P[4]-DS-1-like strains were likely imported from Europe. None of the Brazilian G8 strains examined here exhibited signs of recent zoonotic reassortment. G8 strains continued to be found in Brazil according to their intermittent and localized pattern, thus, does not suggest that a potential emergence is taking place in the country. Our research demonstrates the diversity of G8 RVA strains in Brazil and adds to the understanding of G8P[4]/P[6]/P[8] RVA genetic diversity and evolution on a global scale.

Immunogenicity after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is known to be impaired in liver transplant (LT) recipients, but the results after the application of a third dose show significant improvement in seroconversion rates. In the general population, the antibody response wanes over the course of time after two doses of the vaccination, but seems to be more robust after the application of three doses. Still, the durability of the antibody response in LT recipients who receive a third dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination has not been analyzed yet. We therefore assessed antibody responses in a total of 300 LT recipients and observed antibody titers for six months each after patients had received the second and the third doses of the vaccination, explicitly excluding all patients who had suffered from SARS-CoV-2 infection. The initial antibody response was compared to a control group of 122 healthcare workers. After the application of two doses of the vaccination, 74% of LT recipients (158 out of 213) developed antibodies against SARS-CoV-2; this result depended significantly on whether the patients were taking the medication mycophenolate mofetil, and on the age of the patients. Antibody titers declined significantly within six months from 407 BAU/mL (IQR: 0–1865) to 105 BAU/mL (IQR: 0–145) (p ≤ 0.001), but increased after the application of the third vaccine dose in 92% of patients (105 out of 114), showing an antibody response (p ≤ 0.001). After a further six-month period, despite showing a decline from 2055 BAU/mL (IQR: 500 to >2080) to 1805 BAU/mL (IQR: 517 to >2080), the waning of antibody titers was not significant (p = 0.706), and antibody durability appeared to be more robust than that after the second dose. In conclusion, our study confirms the high efficacy of the application of a third dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in LT recipients, and a reasonably sustained humoral response with superior durability in comparison to antibody kinetics after the application of the second dose of the vaccination.

Published: March 2023

Rapid population growth and urbanization have resulted in a multi-fold increase in water consumption over the last few decades, resulting in the generation of large amounts of sewage and sewage sludge that impose severe environmental burdens if not handled properly. Sludge management itself accounts for up to 50% of the total operating costs of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Conventional sludge management practices such as incineration, landfilling, and ocean disposal have been deemed difficult in light of today’s stringent environmental legislation and compliance standards. As a result, progress has been made toward developing more sustainable approaches for sludge management. This study reviews recent advancements in sewage sludge management techniques that not only ensure the safe disposal of sewage sludge but also focus on utilizing the potential of sewage sludge as feedstock for energy and resource recovery. Energy could be recovered by subjecting the pre-treated sludge to controlled anaerobic digestion (AD) to produce biogas or by utilizing the lipid content of the sewage sludge through esterification or direct sludge pyrolysis to produce biodiesel/bio-oil. Heavy metals such as Ag, Au, Cu, Fe, Ga, Cr, and others, as well as nutrients such as N, P, K, Mg, S, and others, could also be recovered. If energy and resource recovery from sewage sludge is practiced on a global scale, it could significantly contribute to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. This review discusses the commercially developed and still-under-research technologies for energy and other resource recovery of sewage sludge. Additionally, techniques, along with their limitations and potential measures to improve their yields, are also discussed.

This type of research is normative juridical through the approach of statutory regulations, as well as legal principles. The nature of this research is analytical descriptive, namely describing the problems that occur next, discussed and analyzed. Sources of data obtained from secondary data through government publications / websites and data collection tools are carried out through documents or data from the Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection of North Sumatra Province, the data analysis used is qualitative analysis. The role of the mediator is to prioritize the rights interests of the child over the interests of the parents. In the mediation process, the role of the mediator is as a formality for the parties to be able to proceed to the legal process in order to convict one of the parties. In addition, the mediator cannot force the parties to carry out or enforce the court's decision due to the parties' perception that the authority to execute court decisions including child custody lies in the court, and not in the Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection of North Sumatra Province. The mediator's efforts provide education to the parties that mediation is a tool in law enforcement in the police.

Poverty is a crucial problem that often occurs in Indonesia, including in the province of Bali. The poverty rate rate in Bali has increased significantly over the last 3 years, so further analysis is needed so that this poverty rate can be reduced. The pattern of poverty between regions is different because it depends on the geographical and socio-cultural conditions in each area. The effect of location on poverty cases can be identified by global and local spatial autocorrelation methods. This study aimed to analyze the spatial autocorrelation of poverty data in Bali Province using the global autocorrelation test with the Moran’s and Geary’s C indices as well as the local spatial autocorrelation test with the Local Indicator of Spatial Association (LISA) and Getis-Ord G to obtain an overview of the spatial distribution of poverty data. Based on the global autocorrelation test, it is concluded that using Moran’s index there is a negative spatial autocorrelation in the 2020-2022 data for a=10%. Similar results were also obtained when using the Geary’s C test. In the local autocorrelation test using LISA, it was found that districts had negative spatial autocorrelation, namely in 2020 Buleleng Regency (high-low) and Klungkung (low-low), for 2021 there is Buleleng Regency (high-low) and Jembrana (low-low), while for 2022 only Buleleng Regency (high-low) has negative spatial autocorrelation. For local autocorrelation testing with the Getis-Ord G test, it was found that there were no districts/cities that showed spatial grouping or that there was no spatial autocorrelation locally.

Появление и активное развитие интернет-сервисов в современных сетях связи предопределено как востребован­ностью таких услуг широким кругом пользователей, так и необходимостью экономного отношения к дорогостоящей телеком­муникационной инфраструктуре. Как и любое новое направление, эти технологические решения опережают их нормативное регулирование. На стадии становления такое естественное утверждение новых прогрессивных технологий дало импульс про­рывным достижениям. Однако в процессе масштабного развития отставание нормативного регулирования начинает создавать серьезные проблемы для самих технологий и для безопасности их пользователей. Отсутствие в современной нормативной базе целого ряда определений или допустимость их неоднозначной трактовки становится все менее приемлемым для эффективной работы отрасли связи. В статье анализируются возможные конкретные законодательные и нормотворческие инициативы и их последствия для поэтапного приведения нормативной базы в соответствие с новыми требованиями.

The emergence and active development of Internet services in modern communication networks is predetermined both by the demand for such services by a wide range of users and by the need for an thrifty attitude to expensive telecommunications infrastructure. Like any new direction, these technological solutions are ahead of their regulatory regulation. At the nascent stage such a natural approval of new progressive technologies gave impetus to breakthrough achievements. However, in the process of large-scale development the regulatory backlog begins to create serious problems for the technologies themselves and for the safety of their users. The absence of a number of definitions in the modern regulatory framework, or the permissibility of their ambiguous interpretation, is becoming less and less acceptable for the effective operation of the communications industry. The article analyzes possible specific legislative and rule-making initiatives and their consequences for bringing the regulatory framework in line with the new requirements.

Published: March 2023

Motion capture systems are a key tool for performing quantitative analysis and evaluation of complex in movements sports. The prospect of the development and practical application of markerless motion capture tecnology in applied biomechanics increases research interest regarding the features of using such systems, as well as evaluat ing their accuracy and reliability in comparison with marker-based motion capture systems, which are the gold standard nowadays. Markerless motion capture systems have incomparable advantages over marker-based ones.

In particular, significantly reduced time costs for the registration and data processing procedures, since registration is represented by filming a video from different angles, and processing is accompanied by the use of software algorithms for tracking the silhouette of an athlete using a presetted computer avatar. However, there is still no clear answer regarding the accuracy and reliability of the data recorded using markerless motion capture systems in relation to specific sports movements. Thus, the purpose of the presented work is to assess the statistical relationship of the data based on the correlation analysis of biomechanical variables on the example of a golf swing recorded using the Qualisys motion capture system and Simi Reality Motion markerless motion capture system.

Published: March 2023

When conducting electrophysiological studies, electrodes are used to register bioelectrical signals, the correct choice and use of which determine the reliability and diagnostic significance of the data obtained. Recording an electrocardiogram is a standard procedure in medicine, but its monitoring is often limited to 24 hours.

This is due to the limited performance of the electrodes. The properties of the skin/electrode interface determine the performance of medical equipment. Therefore, the surface conditions and the composition of the material from which the electrode is made should comply with the requirements of the electrocardiogram recording device. It is important to implement fast transmission of a useful signal with low losses and without artifacts. Modern electrodes using Ag/AgCl have a limited-service life, since their dehydration and surface degradation lead to the formation of various artifacts on the electrocardiogram record. Alternative – dry flexible electrodes. Such electrodes can be based on carbon materials (reduced graphene oxide or a diamond-like coating) on a plastic (film) substrate. The emphasis of modern research is aimed at carrying out work on the development of dry electrodes, which would provide an opportunity to carry out high-quality long-term registration of electrocardiosignals without gels and adhesives.

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread around the world resulting in a very rapid increase in morbidity and can lead to death. Since the beginning of 2020 there has been an increase in the number of cases of COVID-19 virus infection.  The ratio of deaths and exposure to COVID-19 for nursing personnel in Indonesia is among the highest compared to other countries. Therefore, efforts are needed to make "Medical Safety and Protection" namely with the application of Standard Precaution. This study aims to find out what factors affect nurse compliance in the implementation of Standard Precaution to prevent COVID-19 transmission. This type of research is correlative quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was the nurse of the emergency room and the men's internal medicine room Tgk Abdullah Syafi'i Hospital. The sampling technique in this study is a total sampling with the number of nurses as many as 87people. The results of  the study  were analyzed  univariately  and  bivariately  using  Spearman  rank statistics  and  multivariate analysis  with logistic regression tests. The results showed that 86.3% of nurses adhered to the implementation of standard precaution in preventing the transmission of Covid-19 Tgk Abdullah Syafi'i Hospital. from  the results of bivariate  analysis  shows  there is  a  significant  relationship  between  Attitude  (p  value  =  0.007), barrier to application of  standard  precaution  (p  value  =  0.005),  Availabilityanmeans infection  prevention facility   (p  value  =  0.000) against the  application  of  standardd  precaution. The results of  multivariate analysis  showed  that  Availabilityan meansof  infection  prevention facilities  is the most dominant  factor in the  prevention of covid-19  transmission with an OR value of 12. 936.  The conclusion is that     there  is  a  meaningful  relationship  between  the application  of  standard transmission of  covid-19 in  nurses. It is expected to the   hospital   to pay   full attention to the availabilityof infection prevention facilities in emergency departments and internal medicine rooms.

Wound healing is a complex event involving both cellular and molecular activities. Fibroblasts play an important role and are keys to wound healing through cell proliferation and migration. Honey has anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory properties, which are used for various benefits such as wound healing. This study aims to explore the effect of honey on the viability and migration ability of fibroblast cells. The method used is the viability test using the MTT Assay calculated by the formula for the percentage of cell viability. Migration test using In Vitro Wound Scratch Assay. The results of the migration test images were analyzed using ImageJ. Giving honey doses of 0.5% and 0.1% increased cell viability and migration after 24 hours of intervention. Decreased cell viability after 48 hours of treatment, but there was a difference in the meaning of honey 1%, 0.5%, and 0.1% compared to control. Honey doses of 1%, 0.5%, and 0.1% increased fibroblast cell migration compared to control. The lowest honey increases the viability and migration of fibroblasts so that the possibility of wound healing.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDONESIAN VERSION OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL ASSESSMENT OF PAIN SCALES (MAPS-I) TO MEASURE POST OPERATIVE PAIN IN CHILDREN
Authors: Wardin Ito , Wardani Wahyu Vera
Published: March 2023

Currently, postoperative pain management in children has not been adequate. There are about 40% of children get postoperative pain of moderate to severe scale. Ineffective pain management will cause chronic persistent postsurgical pain (CPSP) with an incidence of 50% in children. The fact is that postoperative pain management in children is due to the difficulty of assessing children's pain. The method used to assess pain in children is to use a multidimensional self-report to assess the scale of postoperative pain in children. The Multidimensional Assessment of Pain Scale instrument is an instrument that assesses postoperative pain in children multidimensionally but has not been translated into Indonesian validly and reliably. The purpose of this study was to determine the development of the Multidimensional Assessment of Pain Scale to measure postoperative pain in children. The Indonesian version of the Multidimensional Assessment of Pain Scale (MAPS-I) instrument consists of 5 categories with 3 scoring scores from 0-2. This research is quantitative research with a cross sectional design. The validity test that was measured was content validity and construct validity. The reliability test was measured using Cronbach Alpha. The MAPS-I instruments with postoperative child respondents showed good validity with Aiken's value range of 0.83-1. The results of the construct validity of the MAPS-I instrument are all valid items. The results of the factor analysis stated that there were 2 valid items (factor loading>0.5) with 2 factors formed (Eigenvalue>1). Internal consistency reliability shows the results of Cronbach Alpha of 0.804 (> 0.482) for postoperative child respondents. The MAPS-I instrument can be used as an instrument to measure the level of pain in postoperative children that is valid and reliable.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROGRESSIVE MUSCLE RELAXATION ON BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS OF TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS
Authors: Bistara Difran Nobel , Susanti Susanti
Published: March 2023

During the pandemic diabetes itself becomes the most dangerous comorbid because diabetes increases the risk of more severe complications when infected with the Corona virus. With restrictions on activities outside the home during the pandemic, inevitably many people have to do all activities at home, but precisely because of this, many people are neglectful of lifestyle management which ends up running a sententary life. Thus, people with diabetes mellitus do not carry out one of the pillars to stabilize blood sugar levels, namely physical activity. In addition, many diabetics do not know that controlling blood sugar levels can be done non-pharmacologically, one example is relaxation techniques. Most people with Diabetes Mellitus never apply this management because they are considered to have no function. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation on blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The design of this study was quasi-experimental with the type of pretest and posttest intervention. The research population was 36 people and the sample was taken using simple random sampling, each with 18 people. The research instrument used an observation sheet and a glucometer to measure blood sugar levels. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon sign rank test with the result <0.05. The results showed that the results of blood sugar levels before and after Progressive OOT relaxation in the treatment group had a P value = .016, P value <0.05, the hypothesis was accepted that progressive muscle relaxation was effective in reducing blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. 2. Future studies are expected to compare other complementary therapies to stabilize blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
