Introduction: The elderly experience various decline in life and cause a decrease in body's functional balance. Thus will affect the quality of life. Balance can be measured using various assessment instruments, one of them is the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Qigong exercise is not widely known or well known among the elderly in Indonesia, in fact it has many benefits and is suitable for them. This study wanted to prove the effect of Qigong exercise on improving functional balance in elderly. Methods: This study is a randomized controlled trial with pre and post test controlled group design. The sampling method is using consecutive sampling method. The sample was 20 people and divided into intervention group (n=10 people) and control group (n=10 people). Participants in the intervention group performed Qigong exercises 3 times a week for 8 weeks. The control group received common elderly exercise 3 times a week. Balance was measured before and after the intervention using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Results: There was an increase in BBS scores before and after treatment in the elderly exercise group (p=0.003), and in the Qigong group (p=0.004). The Berg Balance Scale value in the control group (44.30±0.68) was higher than the Qigong group (44.18±0.60) at the beginning of the study but the difference was not significant (p=0.632). The Berg Balance Scale value in the control group (46.60±0.84) was lower than the Qigong group (48.45±1.13) at the end of the study and the difference was significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Qigong exercise improves balance better than the elderly exercise.

ABSTRACT Introduction: An exercise program like prehabilitation exercise is expected to contribute in improving outcomes in Osteoarthritis (OA) postoperatively such as Total Knee Replacement (TKR). Elastic resistance products in prehabilitation exercise programs have been widely used in rehabilitation and are an effective method. Resistance band is one of elastic resistance products that have several advantages. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of prehabilitation exercise intervention with a resistance band on the quality of life of patients under going TKR using the SF-36 questionnaire. Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial pre-test and post-test control group design knowing the effects of prehabilitation exercise in patients underwent TKR. 16 subjects were allocated to treatment group (n = 8) which received additional prehabilitation exercise using resistance band and control group (n = 8) with conventional therapy (ergocycle and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)) preoperatively. Quality of life assessment using SF-36 score was carried out 4 weeks preoperatively and 8 weeks postoperatively. Results: The mean baseline value of SF-36 in the treatment group is 41.18 ± 9.40 and control group with mean 43.78 ± 5.66, did not differ significantly with p > 0.05. Both groups experienced a significantincrease in their SF-36 post-test scores for the control group (p <0.05) and the treatment group (p <0.05). Comparison between groups showed a significant difference (p <0.05) between the pretest and posttestSF-36 scores where the control group (6.32±3.21) and treatment group (23.95±9.75). Discussion: The SF-36 pre-test score between groups showed no significant d ifference. While the posttest results had significantly increased in SF-36 mean score in both groups. This might be caused byalthough the exercises performed by the two groups were different, they still did exercises that had an effect on joints. Despite of that, treatment group post-test results still had significantly betterimprovement than those of the control group. Conclusion: Prehabilitation exercise intervention using resistance bands improving the quality of life of patients undergoing TKR. The quality of life improving more in those who do prehabilitation exercisethan those who do conventional therapy.Keywords: Prehabilitation exercise, quality of life, total knee replacement.

The aims of this study was to describe the application of the model of transparency and accountability in the NCO recruitment process at Polresta Malang City. Registration for recruitment of members of the National Police for Fiscal Year 2020 on March 19, 2021 to April 15, 2021, with the results at the NCO for registrants who passed the verification as many as 52 men and 2 women or 54 people. As many as 23 people who passed the verification for IT Special Competency Officers and all of them were men. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques with in-depth interviews, observation and secondary data. The results of the study show that the implementation of the acceptance of the National Police Officer for the 2020 fiscal year at the Malang City Police in the Governance perspective shows indicators of transparency in the implementation of the process of the National Police Officer acceptance test for the 2020 budget year at the Malang City Police from the beginning to the end that has met the transparency aspect, but related to socialization to high school/high school. SMK is not optimal. Meanwhile, if viewed from the accountability indicators for the implementation of the National Police Officers' acceptance, in general, they have fulfilled the aspects, although there are still phenomena of differences in measuring instruments. This explains that the accountability of the tools used as support is still not optimal.
