ABSTRACT
Restriction in activities during the Pandemic Covid-19 in. Semarang lowland areas needs to be evaluated to groundwater. This research aims to assess groundwater quality, especially in physical characteristics such as pH and Electrical Conductivity/EC in 2019-2021. Groundwater samples were collected from 30 dug wells. The results show the minimum pH in 2019-2021 has a range of 6.13-8.26. Furthermore, the EC has a range from 287 μS/cm to 11,780 μS/cm. The low coefficient of determination values (R2) in both pH and EC indicates that the pH and EC have no strong spatially relationship in the study area every year. © 2023 Author(s).
ABSTRACT
Background. Possession of motor skills from an early age by interacting with the outdoor environment has a long-term effect on physical activity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a restriction to interacting directly with it especially kindergarten students when doing online learning or learning from home due to pandemic health measures.

The method used in this research is described with a quantitative approach. 80 kindergarten students were included in the sample, consisting of 45 boys and 35 girl students in the city of Padang, Indonesia with an age range of 4 to 5 years. A motor skills test was conducted using TGMD-2. Results. After dealing with all data, findings showcased that the level of motor skills of these students was reduced during the pandemic when compared to before the outbreak. While before the pandemic, such a level of motor skills was in the average category whereas during the pandemic it shifted to the poor category. Conclusion. This study provides the actual state of the impact of the pandemic COVID-19 on kindergarten students on their motor skills development. © (2023). All Rights Reserved.
ABSTRACT
The study aims to test the effectiveness of the online Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy in increasing the resilience of the Covid-19 patients through a cyberpsychology approach in the form of a website as a digitalization medium in providing Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy interventions to the Covid-19 patients. The Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy online program consists of six sessions and is carried out in four meetings of 30-120 minutes per meeting. The study is pre-experimental research using one group pretestposttest experimental design. The study participants were 5 Covid-19 patients with mild and asymptomatic symptoms, males and females aged 20-27 years. The scale used as a measuring tool is the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The hypothesis test results using analysis Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a value of Z = -2.023 (p<0.05), positive ranks with a mean rank of 3.00, and the sum of ranks 15.00. Thus, it indicates that online Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy can increase the resilience of the Covid-19 patients significantly. © 2022
