Abstract:This study examines how thematic organization contributes to the construction of state power and social positioning in international news discourse. Drawing on Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, with a specific…
c focus on Theme–Rheme structure, the study analyses a BBC news report published in November 2023 on the Russian Supreme Court’s decision to designate the so-called “international LGBT movement” as an extremist organization. Using a qualitative textual approach, the text is segmented into clauses and analyzed to identify patterns of thematic choice and progression. The findings reveal a consistent foregrounding of institutional actors, such as state authorities and legal bodies, in Theme position when reporting legal actions and policy decisions, while members of the LGBT community and civil society figures are predominantly thematized in clauses expressing reactions, personal experiences, and anticipated consequences. This asymmetric thematic distribution constructs a discourse in which state authority is positioned as the primary agent of action, whereas affected social groups are framed as respondents to institutional power. The study demonstrates that ideological meanings in news discourse may be realized implicitly through grammatical organization rather than explicit evaluative language, and it highlights the value of Theme–Rheme analysis for examining power relations in contemporary international news reporting.

Abstract:On January 27 and 28 2023, Manado City was hit by heavy rain which caused several areas to experience significant flooding. The high intensity of rain during that period reached extreme levels, resulting in the inundation…
n of several areas and submerging hundreds of residents' houses in 22 villages or sub-districts and 7 sub-districts in Manado. In studying this event, this research investigates the factors that influence extreme weather in Manado, observing sea surface temperature data, streamlines, air observations, the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). The analysis shows that the positive SOI and negative IOD phenomena significantly impact extreme weather in the region. Cumulonimbus (Cb) clouds drove the atmospheric conditions formed on January 27 and 28 2023 and air flows from the Indian Ocean which brought wet air masses into Indonesian territory. High sea surface temperatures, reaching 28-29°C, also play a role in the intensive growth of rain clouds. Based on atmospheric conditions seen from radiosonde observation data, the stability index value shows that unstable conditions trigger heavy rain which causes flooding

Increased blood pressure in patients before surgery is caused by psychological disorders, one of which is anxiety. Anxiety in preoperative patients can increase blood pressure. Elevated blood pressure if left untreated can lead to complications during and after surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between anxiety level and increased blood pressure in scheduled pre-surgery patients in the room of Imam Bonjol Hospital Tk. III dr. Reksodiwiryo Padang. This study is aquantitative research with a cross sectional design. The population in this study is 341 people with a sample of 77 people. The sampling technique is the proposive sampling technique. The instrument used anxiety with the Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HARS) and for blood pressure using a Sphygmomanometer using an observation sheet, then analyzed univariate and bivariate with the Chi-Square p-value test ≤ 0.05. The results of the univariate analysis obtained data from more than half of 50 (64.9%) respondents experienced an increase in blood pressure, and 35 (45.5%) respondents had moderate levels of anxiety in preoperative patients. The results of the Chi-Square test showed a significant association between anxiety levels and increased blood pressure (p-value = 0.000). The results of this study can be concluded that there is a relationship between anxiety level and increased blood pressure in scheduled pre-surgery patients in the Imam Bonjol room, Tk. III Dr. Reksodiwiryo Hospital Padang.

Hypertension is one of the most common noninfectious diseases that affects the elderly. Hypertension is also a leading cause of serious complications such as stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease. Non-pharmacological approaches such as the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) method have been proven effective in lowering blood pressure by reducing stress and increasing self-awareness. This study aims to determine the effect of relaxation therapy with the MBSR method on reducing blood pressure among elderly patients with hypertension. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The design used was a pre-test post-test design. The sample consisted of 30 elderly selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was conducted from April 14th to June 3rd, 2025. The intervention given was an MBSR treatment program for two months, eight sessions, including mindfulness meditation, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques. Blood pressure measurements were taken before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using the paired t-test. The results showed a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure of P< 0.000 and diastolic blood pressure with P < 0.011 after intervention. The average reduction in systolic blood pressure was 5.13 mmHg, and in diastolic blood pressure was 4.63 mmHg. These findings indicate that the MBSR therapy is effective in helping elderly individuals manage hypertension through stress reduction and enhanced self-awareness

SC meliputi nyeri, keterbatasan gerak, dan menurunnya kemampuan aktivitas sehari-hari. Untuk mengetahui apakah program fisoterapi rehabilitasi yang diberikan dapat mengurangi nyeri serta meningkatkan kemampuan aktivitas fungsional pada pasien pasca operasi caesarea. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode case study yang dilakukan secara langsung kepada pasien Ny. FR berusia 24 tahun, di diagnosis post partum setelah menjalani operasi sectio caesarea yang disebabkan oleh kondisi oligohidramnion, dan dirawat di RS PKU Muhammadiyah Selogiri pada bulan Februari 2025. Program fisioterapi yang diberikan meliputi deep breathing exercise, ankle pumping, pelvic floor exercise, pelvic tilt exercise, serta latihan mobilisasi. Untuk mengevaluasi tingkat nyeri digunakan alat ukur Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Curl Up Test untuk mengukur kekuatan otot dan Kenny Self Care Index untuk mengukur kemampuan aktivitas fungsional. Setelah dua kali sesi terapi, terjadi penurunan tingkat nyeri : nyeri saat diam menurun dari skor 3 menjadi 2, nyeri tekan dari 7 menjadi 5, dan nyeri saat bergerak dari 6 menjadi 4. Adanya peningkatan kekuatan otot dari fair menjadi fair+, serta hasil Kenny Self Care Index dari 10 menjadi 23. Intervensi fisioterapi yang terdiri dari deep breathing exercise, ankle pumping, pelvic floor exercise, pelvic tilt exercise dan mobilisasi terbukti efektif dalam mengurangi nyeri, meningkatkan kekuatan otot serta meningkatkan kemampuan fungsional harian pada pasien dengan Post SC.
