Abstract
Aims: In sports activities, the structure of the upper body plays a very important role and is often the target of various kinds of injuries that harm the body. This study aimed to determine the effect of combined therapy manipulation on upper extremity injuries.
Materials & Methods: This experimental study with a randomized pre-test and post-test design was conducted on 60 people who experienced upper extremity injuries from February 14 to March 14, 2022. Subjects were divided into four groups, including three treatment groups (sports massage manipulation, trigger point manipulation, and chiropractic manipulation) and one control group. The treatment was carried out at the Gauging Massage Medical Manual Therapy practice in Yogyakarta. The degree of strain was measured using a Visual Analogue Scale . Multivariate Analysis of Variance was used to determine the effect of giving combined therapy manipulation on pain intensity in all groups of research subjects.
Findings: The administration of the combined therapy manipulation significantly reduced the intensity of strain-induced pain in all treatment groups of sports massage, trigger point, and chiropractic compared to the control group (p=0.001).
Conclusion: All combined massage manipulation groups, including sports massage, trigger point, and chiropractic can reduce pain intensity 15 minutes after treatment, and there is no significant difference between these three groups in reducing pain intensity.

Abstract
Aims: Due to their jobs, farmers are exposed to a high risk of pesticide and organophosphate exposure, which can lead to chronic diseases. However, such a problem could be overcome by implementing a healthy lifestyle. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the community-based program on promoting a healthy lifestyle (CP2HL) among farmers in Indonesia.
Materials & Methods: A randomized controlled trial was performed among 135 (intervention=68 and control=67) farmers in Indonesia. The CP2HL using transtheoretical model-lead (TTM) lasted for 24 weeks and included education, training, and follow-up sessions for the intervention group. Meanwhile, those in the control group attended a regular program at the local public health center to get their health measured. The modified healthy lifestyle among farmers was measured using six structured questionnaires. The inter- and intra-group differences were evaluated using paired t-test, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to assess the effect of intervention.
Findings: There was a significant difference in the modified healthy lifestyle after CP2HL (p<0.05), including in the areas of organophosphate pesticide exposure, farmers’ knowledge, attitudes, and behavior, nutrition knowledge, musculoskeletal symptoms, upper respiratory infection symptoms, and farmer burnout. During the follow-up period, the intervention group showed a healthier lifestyle than the control group.
Conclusion: CP2HL can significantly promote a healthy lifestyle among farmers after the intervention.

Abstract
To study the effect of baits type and three lights, green, blue, and white, on the fishing efficiency of Largehead hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus) handline fishing 11,951 samples were done from February to May 2022 in the northern coast of the Oman Sea, Remin Fishing Port. The results showed that only the season and bait had a significant effect on the weight and number of caught T. lepturus caught (P<0.05), while the type of lamp and its interactions did not have a significant effect (P>0.05). The highest CPUE was observed in the months of February and March, using Rastrelliger kanagurta as bait, green LED lamp, at a water depth of 60-110 meters, and a hook depth of 20-30 meters. The use of R.kanagurta bait compared to Sardinella gibbosa has led to a significant increase in the catch of T. lepturus (both in terms of relative frequency and weight), which is recommended to improve the efficiency of hook fishing for fishermen. Due to catch per unite effort and for efficiency of catch rate of T. lepturus in the area, it seems suitable bait, green light and suitable depth of the hook must be used.
