Overview of emotional regulation in teachers with problematic students
This study aims to find out the picture of emotion regulation in private junior high school (SMP) teachers in Sleman Regency when dealing with problematic students. Emotion regulation is understood as the ability of individuals to recognize, control, and express emotions adaptively so as not to have a negative impact on themselves or others. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The research subjects consisted of three private junior high school teachers who were selected using purposive sampling techniques. The data collection technique was carried out through in-depth interviews and observations, then analyzed using phenomenological analysis. The results of the study show that teachers' emotional regulation can be seen through four aspects according to Gross's theory, namely: (1) emotion regulation strategies, which are shown by implementing religious teachings, self-control, and self-introspection; (2) the ability of individuals not to be affected by negative emotions, through an attitude of seeking solutions, being patient, avoiding emotional triggers, and reflecting on the responses that arise; (3) emotional control response, which can be seen from the ability to deal directly with emotional causes, calm down, and divert one's mind; and (4) acceptance of emotional responses, in the form of venting emotions in a certain way, recognizing the emotions felt, having the desire to change, and not caring too much about the views of others. Overall, this study confirms that teachers who are able to manage their emotions well will be more effective in creating a conducive and harmonious classroom atmosphere. Emotional regulation is not only important for the well-being of teachers themselves, but also has an impact on the quality of interaction with students.
Community participation in sustainable waste management in Yogyakarta City
The increasing volume of waste in Yogyakarta City has prompted the government to implement the zero inorganic waste policy, the success of which largely depends on community participation. This study aims to examine the level of citizen participation in waste management policies to achieve the goals of sustainable development, particularly Goal 11. The research employed a qualitative case study with a descriptive approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, and document analysis. Interviews were conducted with relevant stakeholders, including the Environmental Agency, bank sampah managers, community members, and environmental non-governmental organizations. The findings indicate that community participation in waste reduction tends to be relatively low due to their limited involvement in the policy planning process. Participation remains largely a formality, driven in a top-down manner. Therefore, the government needs to develop a collaborative approach that emphasizes participatory principles from the initial stages of policy planning. In this way, the vision of a sustainable city can be effectively realized.
The effect of counseling using video media on knowledge of dysmenorrhea among adolescent students
The high incidence of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls is often not balanced with sufficient knowledge about its management. Limited information and lack of education cause adolescents to be unable to manage pain properly, which results in disrupted learning activities. This study aimed to determine the effect of counseling using video media on the level of knowledge of adolescent girls regarding dysmenorrhea management. This study applied a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test approach. A sampel total of 29 adolescent girls were selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of counseling delivered through video media. The research instrument was a knowledge questionnaire, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with a significance level of 0.05. The findings showed an improvement in knowledge categories from fair (51.72%) and poor (48.28%) to good (51.72%) and fair (48.28%). The Wilcoxon test indicated a significant difference (p = 0.001). In conclusion, counseling using video media had a significant effect on improving the knowledge of adolescent girls regarding dysmenorrhea management. Routine education is recommended so that adolescents are able to manage dysmenorrhea independently and remain active in learning.

Post appendicitis surgery with acute pain in the PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital Wonosobo
Appendicitis is one of the most common cases of acute abdominal surgery, with appendectomy as the main treatment. Postoperatively, acute pain becomes the dominant complaint that can interfere with mobilization, slow down wound healing, and decrease the patient's quality of life. This study aims to describe nursing care in post-appendectomy patients with acute pain through a combination of pharmacological therapy and Benson's relaxation technique. The design used was a descriptive case study on two male patients aged 16 and 18 years old in Room Khadijah 2 of PKU Muhammadiyah Wonosobo Hospital. Interventions included the administration of analgesics (ketorolac-tramadol and metamizole) as well as training in Benson's relaxation techniques for three days. Pain evaluation was performed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant decrease in the pain scale: the first patient from a scale of 6 to 4, and the second patient from a scale of 5 to 2. Patients with a higher intensity of relaxation exercises showed a more optimal reduction in pain. These findings confirm that a holistic approach that integrates pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies can improve the effectiveness of postoperative pain management. The active role of nurses in education and assistance in relaxation techniques and family support is an important factor in the success of therapy. This study recommends the integration of Benson's relaxation technique in nursing practice as a supportive modality for post-appendectomy pain control.
Differences in the effect of manual therapy combination in the exercise on the functional neck of workers with neck pain

Effectiveness of a mindful eating intervention on eating habits of gen-z college students
Background. Generation Z students are vulnerable to academic stress, body dissatisfaction, and maladaptive eating behaviors such as emotional eating. Mindful eating is considered a promising intervention to improve eating patterns through greater self-awareness. Objective. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of psychoeducational mindful eating on eating behaviors among Gen-Z college students. Methods. A quasi-experimental design was conducted in intervention and control groups. Of 74 recruited participants, 69 students (34 control; 35 intervention) were included in the final analysis. The two-week intervention combined nutrition education, mindful eating practice, and stress management. Eating behavior was assessed using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) and analyzed with independent t-tests. Results. Most participants were female (91.18%) and aged 20–22 years. In the intervention group, 97.14% reported normal eating behavior, while 14.71% of the control group still demonstrated abnormal eating patterns. Independent t-test results indicated no statistically significant difference between groups (p = 0.2792), though the intervention group had a lower mean score (M = 6.74) compared to the control group (M = 7.94), reflecting a positive trend toward healthier eating behaviors. Conclusion. Although the psychoeducational mindful eating program did not yield statistically significant improvements, it showed a favorable direction in reducing abnormal eating behaviors. Further research with stronger methodology, extended duration, and structured home practice is recommended to enhance effectiveness
The influence of instagram social media on youth political participation in the 2024 regional election in Karimun Regency
This study aims to analyze the influence of Instagram social media on youth political participation in the 2024 Regional Election (Pilkada) in Karimun Regency. The background of this research is based on the low level of political participation in Karimun Regency, where nearly half of the Permanent Voter List (DPT) did not exercise their voting rights. The research employed a quantitative explanatory method with data collected through an online questionnaire. The sample consisted of 397 youth respondents selected using purposive sampling, with criteria of being active Instagram users and registered in the 2024 Pilkada DPT. Data analysis was carried out using validity, reliability, and normality tests, as well as simple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS. The results show that Instagram has a significant influence on youth political participation, as evidenced by a regression coefficient value of 0.730 and a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05). The R² value of 0.496 indicates that 49.6% of the variation in youth political participation is explained by Instagram usage, while the remaining 50.4% is influenced by external factors such as formal political education, social environment, and organizational experience. These findings reinforce the Uses and Gratifications Theory, which posits that individuals actively use media to fulfill specific needs, including obtaining political information and engaging in democratic processes. The study concludes that Instagram plays an important role in enhancing youth political participation, both through seeking political information, discussions, digital campaigns, and exercising voting rights. The practical implication is that political parties and election organizers need to optimize creative and relevant digital campaign strategies to engage the younger generation.
Hypertension exercise as an intervention to reduce blood pressure among the elderly in Kalipetir Lor
Hypertension is a significant health issue in the elderly, as it elevates the likelihood of cardiovascular complications. Management efforts are not only limited to pharmacological therapy but also include non-pharmacological interventions such as hypertension exercise. This study aimed to assess how hypertension exercise influences blood pressure reduction in older adults at Padukuhan Kalipetir Lor. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest format was implemented in this study. The sample consisted of 18 respondents selected via total sampling. Blood pressure levels were recorded before and after the intervention and evaluated using the paired t-test. The findings revealed that the mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 157.17 mmHg to 155.28 mmHg; however, the change was not statistically significant (p = 0.427). In contrast, the mean diastolic blood pressure significantly decreased from 92.39 mmHg to 89.22 mmHg (p = 0.010). The study’s outcomes highlight that engaging in hypertension-specific exercise can substantially lower diastolic blood pressure among older adults and can be recommended as a non-pharmacological intervention for hypertension management if performed regularly and continuously
Comparison of male and female candidates' perceptions in interpreting failure in the 2024 central java legislative elections
The phenomenon of legislative candidates experiencing depression or psychosis recurs every election. This is due to the increasing number of candidates entering this free political market, while the quota is limited. Ultimately, competition is inevitable, even though they are not mentally or psychologically prepared. However, some candidates are not "deterred" by their failures. Instead of experiencing stress, they run again in the next election period. These differing actions raise questions about the relationship between perceptions and views on how failures are interpreted during elections. The purpose of this study is to analyze the comparative perceptions of male and female legislative candidates regarding the meaning of failure in the 2024 Central Java Legislative Election. Perception is the process by which a person provides a response, meaning, image, or interpretation to what they see, hear, or feel through their senses. The results of this process are reflected in the individual's attitudes, opinions, and behavior. Psychologically, men and women have different characteristics influenced by biological, social, and cultural factors. This study is a mixed-methods (qualitative and quantitative) study. Based on the research conducted, the results showed that there were differences in the meaning of failure in the Central Java legislative elections between male and female legislative candidates. Female legislative candidates interpreted failure more emotionally and less rationally, while male legislative candidates interpreted failure less emotionally and more rationally. Based on the results of the study, there was a gap between the meaning of failure according to men and women, men view women's positions as privileged (positive meaning), while women view women's positions as inferior to men (negative meaning). Women are only considered to fulfill the 30% representation requirement. Meanwhile, women dared to run for candidacy more because of the support of those closest to them, while men dared to run for candidacy more because of the support of their party. Male legislative candidates have a positive meaning, failure as part of learning, while female legislative candidates have a negative meaning, where failure is something that hurts.Men and women are naturally different, including in their perceptions. However, it's best to prepare beforehand, especially psychologically, so that losing an election doesn't become a psychological issue. Being prepared is crucial when running for office.
Implementation of generalist therapy in schizophrenia patients with auditory hallucinations nursing problems
Mental disorders remain a global health problem, with schizophrenia being one of the most complex forms due to its chronic nature, relapses, and high risk of disability. Auditory hallucinations are the most common symptom experienced by schizophrenia patients and have the potential to impact self-control and social functioning. Method of this case report illustrates the application of generalist therapy to a 38-year-old man with a history of schizophrenia since 2012 who was admitted to Grhasia Mental Hospital in Yogyakarta after experiencing a relapse due to medication withdrawal. The patient exhibited typical symptoms of hearing whispers, talking to himself, pacing, and disorganized behavior. Nursing interventions were provided over four days, focusing on techniques for addressing hallucinations, medication adherence, conversations with others, and implementation of scheduled activities. Results showed gradual progress, from only being able to name strategies at the beginning of the intervention to being able to consistently practice them on the fourth day. Conclusion of this report confirms that generalist therapy is an effective and simple approach to help patients control hallucinations and improve adaptive functioning. These findings are expected to enrich the literature on psychiatric nursing care, particularly by providing concrete examples of the application of theory to clinical practice, and serve as a reference for students and healthcare professionals in developing professional skills in caring for patients with schizophrenia.
Fall risk identification in elderly: implementation of screening program at Giriloyo Posyandu
Falls among the elderly pose a significant health risk resulting in injuries, disabilities, and heightened morbidity. Preventive measures can be implemented via early identification through screening initiatives at community health centers (Posyandu Lansia). This community initiative sought to identify fall risks in elderly individuals by utilizing the Functional Reach Test (FRT) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test at the Giriloyo Community Health Post. Employing an action research methodology, the phases encompassed planning, execution, monitoring, assessment, and contemplation. The event took place on August 9, 2025, and included 35 senior participants. FRT findings indicated that 9 participants (25.71%) fell into the low category, 22 participants (62.86%) were classified in the moderate category, and 4 participants (11.34%) belonged to the high category. TUG findings indicated that 9 participants (25.71%) were not at risk, 22 participants (62.86%) were at risk, while 4 participants (11.34%) were at very high risk of falling. The majority of elderly fell into the moderate risk category, exhibiting reduced balance and mobility as they aged. This screening effectively recognized fall risk factors early and served as the foundation for education and preventive actions to enhance the quality of life for elderly individuals
The The effect of adding pineapple honey fruit extract (ananas comosus (l) merr.) concentration on the characteristics of butterfly pea flower kombucha tea
Kombucha Kombucha is a fermented beverage containing bioactive compounds with various health benefits. Honey pineapple was chosen because it contains vitamin C and bromelain, which function as antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, while butterfly pea flower was chosen because it is rich in anthocyanins, which are natural antioxidants. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in the formulation of butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.) and honey pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) on the chemical parameters, microbiological parameters, and organoleptic parameters of kombucha. The study used a completely randomized design with three treatments and three replications, namely Purblu kombucha, Sunblu kombucha, and Goldblu kombucha. The parameters observed included chemical parameters (pH, alcohol content, total acetic acid content, vitamin C content, antioxidant activity (DPPH)), microbiological parameters (total lactic acid bacteria, antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli bacteria), and organoleptic parameters (taste, aroma, color, and level of preference). The data were analyzed using ANOVA at a confidence level (α ≤ 5%) and followed by Tukey's test. The Goldblu kombucha formulation provided the best results based on chemical and microbiological parameters. Goldblu kombucha with 30% honey pineapple extract had a significant effect on chemical and microbiological parameters but did not have a significant effect on organoleptic parameters. Goldblu kombucha produced the highest levels of acid (1.26%), vitamin C (88.23 mg/100 mL), antioxidant activity (82.93%), and antibacterial activity (17.65 mm), with an alcohol content below the MUI safety limit (0.48%). The combination of butterfly pea flowers and honey pineapple with a formulation of 70% butterfly pea flowers and 30% honey pineapple extract was able to increase bioactive compounds that have the potential to ward off free radicals and inhibit pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, Kombucha Goldblu has the potential as a functional drink in the prevention of degenerative diseases

The Comparison of Hemoglobin and Leukocytes Examination Between Whole Blood and Pre-Diluted Modes on Hematology Analyzer
Hematological testing plays a vital role in assessing the condition of blood and its components, such as hemoglobin and leukocytes. One of the commonly used methods is the automatic hematology analyzer, which operates with two measurement modes: whole blood for standard sample volumes (±1 mL) and pre-diluted for non-standard volumes (>20 µL to <1 mL), typically due to pre-analytical factors. This study aims to compare hemoglobin levels and leukocyte counts between the whole blood and pre-diluted modes. The study applied an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design involving 30 randomly blood samples. Each sample was analyzed using both modes, and the results were statistically evaluated using a paired t-test. The findings revealed a significant difference in hemoglobin levels between the whole blood and pre-diluted modes (p = 0.002), while no significant difference was observed in leukocyte counts (p = 0.40). Although the difference in hemoglobin levels was statistically significant, it was not clinically relevant, and both modes obtained results that were acceptable for clinical interpretation.

Challenges in the application of CRISPR-Cas9 for genetic engineering of nile tilapia (oreochromis niloticus): systematic review
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is an important aquaculture commodity in Indonesia, but productivity and disease resistance remain major challenges. CRISPR-Cas9 technology offers the potential to precisely improve growth, disease resistance, and other superior traits in a single generation. This study aims to identify technical, biological, and applied challenges in the application of CRISPR-Cas9 in tilapia and strategies that can be used to optimize gene editing results. The research method was conducted using a systematic literature review (SLR) approach to identify the challenges of applying CRISPR-Cas9 in tilapia genetic engineering. The application of CRISPR-Cas9 faces technical challenges such as mosaicism, off-target effects, and low editing efficiency, which can be overcome by optimizing sgRNA, Cas9 quality, injection methods, and multi-omics approaches. Biological challenges include infertility due to reproductive gene mutations, hormonal imbalances, and genetic compensation phenomena, which can be minimized through conditional knockout, rescue experiments, and dual targets. At the application level, mutants are often difficult to utilize due to reduced viability, so marker-based selection strategies, selection of appropriate target genes, and public regulation and socialization are necessary to support successful implementation. CRISPR-Cas9 has great potential to increase the productivity and resilience of tilapia. Its successful implementation requires an integrated approach that combines technical optimization, attention to biological effects, and application strategies that consider regulations and public acceptance.
