Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between an instructor’s professionalism determined by Pilates participants, participants’ physical self-description, and their subjective happiness. Due to the rapid growth of Pilates, we aimed to provide basic data on Pilates instructors’ program management and understanding of members’ needs by verifying the factors that make participants feel happy and sustained through Pilates. The study involved women participating in Pilates in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province from June to August 2019. Correlation analysis was used before regression analysis to predict the correlation between variables, and a multiple regression analysis was used to identify the effect of relationships and significant factors between each variable. Finally, in order to verify the effect of the mediator variable in the process of the independent variable affecting the dependent variable, a three-step mediator analysis process of Baron and Kenny (1986) was conducted. As a result of the regression analysis, the teaching technique, a sub-factor of the instructor’s professionalism, influenced the physical self-description of participants. Physical attractiveness, physical activity, sport competence, sub-factors of physical self-description as a mediator affected on Subjective happiness. Only teaching technique, a sub-factor of instructor’s professionalism, showed a statistically significant effect on subjective happiness. Next, as a result of identifying the mediating effect of the physical self-description, it was verified that the physical attractiveness and sport competence of the physical self-description had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between the instructor’s professionalism and subjective happiness.

Abstract : Traditional medicine using plants, animal materials, mineral substances, serian (generic) preparations, or mixtures of these ingredients that have been used from generation to generation for treatment based on experience and applied by the prevailing norms in society are called jamu. The research objective was to determine the types of medicinal plants, the use of medicinal plants, the active compound content, and the potential of traditional herbal medicine as a fever-lowering bio-computation. This study used a direct interview method with a purposive sampling technique to determine the traditional herbal formula. We employed the software; AutoDock Vina Version 1.1 PyRx, PyMol Version 2.3.2.1, and Discovery Studios for phytochemical screening and molecular docking. Proteins were analyzed using COX2, while six ligands included Quercetin, Curcuminoid, Zingerone, Heyneanone, Zerumbone, and Sabinene. In this study, 22 types of medicinal plants found in Bangselok village, East Java, Indonesia. The Zingiberaceae family is a plant that often used as an ingredient in herbal medicine by the people of Bangladesh. Flavonoid compounds found in Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roxb), Lempuyang (Zingiber zerumbet (L.) JE Smith), Bangle (Zingiber purpureum Roxb), Temu Mangga / Pao (Curcuma Mangga Val), Temu Putih (Curcuma Zedoaria (Berg.) Roscoe.), Temu Giring (Curcuma heyneana Val. & V. Zijp). Based on the results of the phytochemical test, the docking results showed that Quercetin, Zingerone, Heyneanone, Zerumbone and Sabinene ligands were attached to domain A in accordance with the control of natural COX2 ligands, namely NAG and EDO, so it is predicted that they can be used as anti-inflammatory drugs. Based on the combination of active compounds that are recommended as anti-inflammatory, the plant combinations for herbal herbal medicine are as follows ginger with bangle, ginger with temu mango, temu giring with bangle and temu giring with temu mango
