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

academic year. The study was conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 22 students who were involved in learning activities using instructional pictures and number-pocket media to strengthen conceptual understanding. Data were collected through observation sheets, learning outcomes tests, and teacher reflections. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ learning outcomes and participation. Initial observations showed low understanding of norms and rules, reflected in students’ low discipline, responsibility, and adherence to class regulations. After the implementation of picture media in Cycle I, students’ average score increased from the pre-cycle score of 46.2% to 71.1%. In Cycle II, after using more varied and engaging visual media, students’ average score further improved to 79,36%, surpassing the minimum completeness criteria. The use of picture media was effective because it facilitated concrete understanding, increased motivation, and encouraged active engagement. The study concludes that picture-based media enhances students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral competencies in learning. It is recommended that teachers integrate more innovative visual media to create meaningful, interactive, and enjoyable learning experiences in civics education and other subjects

dampak pada penurunan kualitas air, kerusakan ekosistem, serta peningkatan emisi karbon dioksida (CO₂) dan sulfur dioksida (SO₂). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji efektivitas pengelolaan AAT di Indonesia dan keterkaitannya dengan pencapaian Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (SDGs), khususnya SDG 6 (Air Bersih dan Sanitasi Layak) dan SDG 13 (Penanganan Perubahan Iklim). Metode yang digunakan adalah studi literatur (library research) melalui analisis hasil penelitian, laporan lembaga internasional, dan regulasi nasional yang relevan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa perusahaan tambang besar telah menerapkan sistem pengelolaan AAT yang relatif baik, sementara perusahaan skala menengah dan kecil masih menghadapi keterbatasan teknologi, biaya, dan pengawasan. Lemahnya penegakan hukum serta koordinasi antarinstansi menyebabkan kebijakan lingkungan belum optimal, sehingga pencemaran air dan emisi karbon dari sektor pertambangan tetap tinggi. Kajian ini menekankan pentingnya penerapan teknologi ramah lingkungan, penegakan hukum yang tegas, dan kolaborasi lintas sektor antara pemerintah, industri, dan masyarakat. Penelitian ini memberikan perspektif baru mengenai integrasi antara instrumen hukum dan pendekatan teknologi dalam mewujudkan tata kelola pertambangan berkelanjutan di Indonesia.
