The incidence of hypertension in Southeast Sulawesi tends to increase each year. Many people with hypertension are tired of taking blood pressure-lowering drugs because they are addictive and have side effects. The objective of the study was to understand the effect of watermelon juice supplementation to decrease blood pressure on early adult hypertension sufferers in the working area of the Public Health Center of Poasia Kendari city. This study was a true experiment through pretest-posttest with a control group design. The sample size was 30 people who were determined by purposive sampling technique and was allocated by matching within 15 people for both treatment and control groups. The statistical test result showed that there were different blood pressure both systolic and diastolic blood pressures before and after receiving watermelon juice supplementation for 7 days with the dose was twice 350/gr/glass/day on treatment group with significance value ρ = 0,000 (α = 0,05). Meanwhile, for the control group, there was no different blood pressure before and after receiving supplementation with significance value ρ = 1,000 (α = 0,05) for systolic pressure and ρ = 0,499 for diastolic one. There was different blood pressure after receiving watermelon juice supplementation between treatment and control groups with significance value ρ =0,031 (α = 0,05) for systolic pressure and p = 0,012 for diastolic one. Hence, it’s concluded that there was a significant effect of watermelon juice supplementation to decrease the blood pressure on early adult hypertension sufferers.

The farmers in Indonesia have not maximally taken advantage of the existence of rice husk; therefore the huge number of the husk becomes disturbing waste, which spoils environment. The waste of rice husk is potentially capable of improving the farmers’ economy amidst the people’s lack of knowledge about its potential to commercially produce charcoal briquettes from it, make it a plant growing medium, and change it into manure. This research aims at knowing if the training of recycling waste of rice husk can improve the farmers’ entrepreneurship motivation. The subjects of the research were farmers in groups at Bimomartani village, Ngemplak district, Sleman regency. They were 60 participants divided into experintal and control groups. The planned experiment used <em>untreated control group design with dependent pretest and posttest samples.</em> The <em>paired sample t-test</em> and <em>independent sample t-test</em> were used as the techniques of analysis in this research. The result of t-test on <em>paired sample t-test</em> for the experimental group resulted in the value of t = -6.659 with p = 0.000 (p&lt;0.01), which means there was a significant difference of entrepreneurship motivation before and after the training of recycling rice husk. The analysis for <em>Independent sample t-test</em> resulted in the value of t = 7.411 with p = 0.000 (p&lt;0.01), which means there was a significant difference of entrepreneurship motivation between experimental and control groups. It can be concluded that the training of recycling waste of rice husk was effective in improving the farmers’ entrepreneurship motivation.

Objective of this study was to determine the effect of prayer on pre-hemodialysis blood pressure of CRF patients in the hemodialysis room of the Jakarta Islamic Hospital. Data collection was done through purposive sampling. This study examined 32 respondents. The results of the study indicated there was a decrease in blood pressure in the intervention and control groups before and after giving prayers on systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The results of the paired t-test before and after being given prayers in the intervention and control groups produced a sig value of <0.05 in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which means that there were differences before and after giving prayers. The unpaired t-test results in the intervention and control groups of systolic blood pressure produced a sig value> 0.05, which means that there was no difference between the intervention and control group. On the contrary, diastolic blood pressure produced a sig value <0.05, which means that there were differences between the intervention and control group. Finally, it can be concluded that the provision of a prayer intervention in pre-hemodialysis was effectively proven to reduce blood pressure.

Hypertension is a condition of systolic pressure above 140 mmHg and diastolic above 90 mmHg. Hypertension is more prevalent in elderly people aged 55 years and over, as we age, blood pressure increases. Hypertension can cause complications including heart damage, stroke, kidney failure. Non-pharmacological therapy to reduce blood pressure is one of them by using watermelon which has potassium content in helping the heart work and normalizes blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in the effectiveness of the administration of watermelon juice for 5 days and 7 days against changes in blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. The study used the True Experimental method with Randomized Pre-Post Test Design. The sampling technique uses Simple Random Sampling with the number of respondents as many as 36 elderly people divided into two treatment groups. The results of the Wilcoxcon test for administration of watermelon juice for 5 days obtained p = 0,000 (0.05) and the watermelon juice supply for 7 days obtained p = 0,000 (0.05), meaning that there was a change in blood pressure before and after watermelon juice administration watermelon juice for 5 days and 7 days. The results of the Mann-Whitney test comparing the two groups obtained systolic values p = 0.490 ( 0.05) and diastolic p = 0.732 ( 0.05) meaning that there was no difference in the effectiveness of the watermelon juice for 5 days and 7 days for changes in blood pressure. Based on the results of the analysis there was no difference in the long-term effectiveness of giving watermelon juice for 5 days and 7 days to changes in blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. This therapy is equally effective in lowering blood pressure, so that more effective consumption of watermelon juice for 5 days has been able to reduce blood pressure.
