Low back pain is a complex condition that is influenced by biological, psychological and social factors and poses considerable challenges for effective treatment. The biopsychosocial model of pain emphasizes the importance of incorporating various factors into treatment strategies. In this context, the placebo effect emerges as a remarkable phenomenon that offers insights into the interplay of persuasion and relief in the treatment of low back pain. This paper explores the multifaceted nature of low back pain and highlights the role of the placebo effect in shaping treatment outcomes. It looks at recent research highlighting the influence of patient-practitioner interactions, contextual factors and neurobiological mechanisms on placebo responses. It also discusses how placebo interventions, ranging from inert substances to sham surgery, have shown significant efficacy in relieving low back pain symptoms. Neuroimaging studies have provided valuable insights into the neural mechanisms underlying the placebo effect, enabling the development of targeted interventions. In addition, ethical considerations related to the use of placebos, including transparency, informed consent and harm minimization, are addressed to ensure ethical practice. Healthcare providers are encouraged to harness the placebo effect through evidence-based interventions and patient-centered care. Through the use of positive communication, empathy and complementary therapies, clinicians can optimize treatment outcomes and improve the overall well-being of patients. Looking to the future, interdisciplinary collaboration and advances in neuroscience promise to further unlock the therapeutic potential of the placebo effect in the treatment of low back pain. By combining scientific rigor and compassionate care, healthcare providers can navigate the complexities of placebo use in an ethical and effective manner, ultimately improving outcomes for patients with low back pain and other chronic conditions.

Examining the factors that influence the utilization of Long-Term Contraceptive Methods (MKJP) at the Noemuti Health Center in the North Central Timor District is the purpose of this research. The principal issue is the inadequate utilization of MKJP, one of the safest and most effective contraceptives.This research employed a quantitative methodology and a cross-sectional design. In 2021, the entire active family planning acceptor population at the Noemuti Health Center in North Central Timor Regency comprised the study population of 1,899 individuals. As indicated by the results, the proportion of the low education variable that utilized MHJP was 36.8%, whereas the high education variable accounted for 33.3%. In relation to the use of MHJP, the employment variable revealed that 43.9% of acceptors who were employed utilized MHJP, whereas the employment variable of those who were unemployed utilized MHJP. The statistical analysis indicated that age, occupation, and level of education did not have a statistically significant impact on the utilization of MHJP. Nevertheless, the hypothesis was validated as the statistical data revealed that mothers with a higher level of education exhibited a greater utilization of contraceptives. This research offers valuable insights that can be utilized to bolster the family planning initiative and promote greater utilization of MHJP in Puskesmas Noemuti, North Central Timor District.

The issues in the research area include a high concentration of built-up residential areas with the potential for slums and warehousing activities dominating trade and service areas or residential areas, leading to congestion. This requires attention, considering that the Eastern Part of Medan City has a high built-up area, necessitating the provision of affordable infrastructure and basic services for both newcomers and existing residents in the city. Several development theories and concepts can assist in determining and conceptualizing development in the research area. The study focuses on examining the Sub-Central Service System of the City as a center serving sub-urban areas. Various methods are used in determining service centers, including the scalogram method, Marshall's centrality index, and rank-size rule, which will ultimately provide recommendations for the central service system. After issuing recommendations from these three analyses, the determination of the existing urban internal structure is conducted using a scoring method to identify the central service location. Calculations from multiple service center analysis methods are scored and summed to obtain a total score. The neighborhood with the smallest score has the highest hierarchy value, and vice versa. It is revealed that the Sub-Central Service System is present in all sub-districts in the Eastern Part of Medan City, meaning each sub-district in each neighborhood already has comprehensive facilities. Consequently, the four sub-districts in the Eastern Part of Medan City have the potential for development as they meet service needs and can be directed to become service centers serving their respective sub-districts.

This research aims to identify the socio-economic characteristics of the community in the Binjai Kota District, especially in the Kartini Region. It involves categorizing areas based on social and economic categories within slum areas and formulating appropriate handling strategies. The research methodology used is the SWOT Model with a descriptive and qualitative approach. Purposive sampling is employed for sample selection and informant determination. Overall, the socio-economic category of the community in the slum area tends to show low levels, as manifested in the majority having elementary school education, the dominance of laborers and farmers in the job sector, and low income levels, including land ownership with limited legality. However, there are some socio-economic categories that indicate better conditions, such as the productive age of household heads, housing density in accordance with standards, sanitation and clean water availability, and building ownership. Considering these findings, the slum area improvement program based on social categories proposed in this research should focus on strategies involving the implementation of development missions, community skill enhancement, sanitation preservation, building maintenance, and the development of non-governmental organizations. It should also encompass community empowerment, job diversification, cooperation for land ownership legality, drainage improvement, community awareness enhancement, and holistic assistance. This involves the government in the implementation of environmental cleanliness programs, collaboration between the government, regional authorities, and the community, as well as the maintenance of public facilities, improvement of community institutions, involvement of regional government within budget constraints, and collaboration between the government and the community in area arrangement.

Climate change, characterized by high-intensity rainfall, coupled with inadequate drainage systems, small and shallow river dimensions, and a lack of community awareness, has caused flooding and inundation in Medan Sunggal District. This study aims to understand the characteristics and management of drainage infrastructure in Medan Sunggal Subdistrict, Medan City, to identify its characteristics and implement suitable management efforts. The research adopts a positivism paradigm with a positivistic approach, relying on empirical facts (sensual empiricism). The research methodology used is purely qualitative descriptive, focusing on an in-depth understanding related to the characteristics, context, and research subjects. Data collection methods include Guest Tour and comparative techniques. The results of this study show that the characteristics of drainage infrastructure in the study area form a network pattern. The types of channels in the study area are primary channels, secondary channels, and tertiary channels. They consist of artificial channels with open concrete construction, located above the ground with a combined drainage system. While most of the physical conditions are good, some exhibit minor damage. A significant portion of the drainage water is stagnant. Flood-prone areas constitute 41%, areas with infrequent flooding are at 43%, and areas that have never experienced flooding are at 16%. Management recommendations for the study area include providing green open spaces, creating biopore infiltration holes, constructing detention and retention ponds, using paving blocks/grass blocks, conducting maintenance (normalization and rehabilitation) of drainage, and involving the community in each management aspect.
