Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis often experience anxiety due to therapy dependency, changes in health conditions, and uncertainty regarding the disease. Unresolved anxiety can reduce quality of life, comfort, and patient adherence to treatment. Therefore, non-pharmacological interventions are needed that are safe, easy to implement, and aligned with the patient's spiritual values. Mantram Tri Sandya has the potential to provide relaxation and psychological calm, thus helping to reduce anxiety. However, scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of this therapy in hemodialysis patients is still limited, making this research crucial.  Purpose: The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the Tri Sandya mantra on reducing anxiety levels in CKD patients who are undergoing hemodialysis at the Buleleng Regency Regional Hospital. Methods: Pre-Experimental One Group Pre-Test & Post-Test research design with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test conducted at the Buleleng Regency Regional General Hospital. Data were collected using the HARS (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale) questionnaire sheet with Purposive Sampling technique with a sample size of 88 people. Results: The results obtained from this study were that there was a decrease in anxiety levels when given Mantra Tri Sandya therapy to CKD patients who were undergoing hemodialysis with a P value <0.001 (p<0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant effect of administering the Tri Sandy mantra on reducing anxiety levels in CKD patients who are undergoing hemodialysis at the Buleleng Regency Regional Hospital.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis praktik pembelajaran tafsir Al-Qur'an menggunakan bahasa Bali sebagai media instruksional di Desa Pegayaman, Buleleng. Di tengah arus globalisasi yang mengancam eksistensi bahasa daerah, masyarakat Pegayaman menunjukkan resiliensi budaya melalui integrasi nilai-nilai Islam dengan kearifan lokal Bali. Melalui studi kasus pada kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat di Masjid Safinatussalam pada 04 April 2026, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana Ustadz Zihni Hasan mentransformasikan pemahaman Surah Al-Baqarah kepada jamaah remaja putri dan ibu-ibu melalui medium bahasa Bali. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan etnopedagogi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan bahasa daerah bukan sekadar alat komunikasi, melainkan strategi "pribumisasi" Islam yang memperkuat identitas "Nyama Selam"( penduduk islam yang telah lama menetap dan mengadopsi budaya bali dalam kehidupan sehari-hari). Penggunaan bahasa ibu terbukti efektif menurunkan hambatan kognitif dan emosional dalam memahami teks suci, sekaligus berfungsi sebagai sarana konservasi bahasa daerah. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya pendidikan agama Islam berbasis budaya sebagai model moderasi beragama di Indonesia.

Awig-Awig (traditional customary law) is a form of written customary law that exists and continues to develop within indigenous communities, particularly in Bali and Lombok. As part of Indonesia's pluralistic legal system, Awig-Awig plays a significant role in regulating social order, maintaining harmony, governing inter-community relations, and preserving local cultural and religious values. This study aims to examine the existence of Awig-Awig as a binding source of law within indigenous communities, as well as to analyze its relationship with the national legal system. The methods used in this research include juridical-normative and sociological approaches, supported by case studies conducted in several indigenous villages in Bali and Lombok. The results show that Awig-Awig remains highly relevant, respected, and effectively implemented as a community guideline. However, harmonization with state law is necessary to prevent potential norm conflicts and ensure legal certainty. These findings highlight the importance of formal recognition, protection, and integration of customary law within Indonesia’s national legal framework.

This research aims to examine and analyze the phenomenon of speeding and illegal racing, which poses a significant threat to traffic safety within the legal jurisdiction of the Buleleng Resort Police (Polres Buleleng). The study employs empirical legal research methods, gathering primary data through observations and interviews with traffic police officers, alongside secondary data from legal literature and previous studies. The findings indicate that the speeding phenomenon in Buleleng is predominantly carried out by teenagers and young adults, often motivated by social media trends, peer pressure, and the search for identity. This reckless behavior leads to a high rate of traffic accidents, frequently resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. Furthermore, law enforcement efforts by Polres Buleleng face several challenges, including the high mobility of the perpetrators, lack of personnel during specific hours, and low legal awareness among the public. Preventive measures such as counseling in schools and repressive measures like electronic traffic law enforcement (E-TLE) and routine patrols need to be optimized. This study concludes that an integrated approach involving the police, educational institutions, and parents is crucial to mitigating the speeding phenomenon and ensuring traffic safety.

This study aims to analyze the effect of e-government implementation, Transparency and Maturity of Internal Control System (SPI) on the Quality of Buleleng Regency Government Financial Reports. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a survey method through the distribution of questionnaires to 74 respondents consisting of heads of financial sub-sections and financial report preparation staff at 37 Regional Work Units (SKPD) in Buleleng Regency. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. Data are analyzed using multiple regression with the help of SPSS 26. The results of the study indicate that the e-government variable does not have a significant effect on the quality of Buleleng Regency government financial reports. Meanwhile, the Transparency and Maturity of Internal Control System (SPI) variables have a positive and significant effect on the quality of Buleleng Regency government financial reports. This finding indicates that the higher the level of implementation of transparency and maturity of the internal control system (SPI), the better the quality of local government financial reports. However, the implementation of e-government has not yet made a significant contribution, possibly due to the suboptimal implementation of the reporting system, which focuses solely on service and administration, and the limited use of technology by human resources. Therefore, the Buleleng Regency government is expected to improve the effectiveness of its e-government implementation and continue to strengthen the transparency and maturity of its internal control system (SPI) to improve the quality of its financial reports. Keywords: E-Government, Transparency, Internal Control System Maturity, financial report quality

Purse seine is one of the most commonly used fishing gears in pelagic fisheries due to its high efficiency in catching large quantities of fish. However, to ensure the sustainability of fish resources and marine ecosystems, its use must comply with the principles of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), which emphasizes responsible and environmentally friendly fishing practices. This study aims to analyze the environmental friendliness level of purse seine fishing gear, with a focus on its operation in Bali waters. The methods used in this study included field observations, interviews with fishermen, and literature review from various sources related to sustainable fisheries. Purse seine is widely operated in the waters of Bali, particularly using a single boat system. Data were collected through interviews with 30 respondents. The study revealed that the total catch obtained by fishermen in the waters of Buleleng Regency, Bali Province reached 18,436 tons. The findings suggest that while purse seine fishing is highly productive, its sustainability is dependent on adhering to responsible fishing practices that minimize negative environmental impacts, ensuring the long-term viability of marine ecosystems and fish populations.

Tabuh Rah in Bali is part of a Hindu religious ceremony involving animal sacrifice to maintain harmony between nature and human life. In practice, it is often accompanied by tajen (cockfighting) involving monetary or valuable bets, potentially violating Article 303 of the Indonesian Criminal Code concerning gambling. This study examines the regulation of cockfighting as a criminal offense under Article 303 and the criminal liability of perpetrators of tajen within the context of the Tabuh Rah ceremony. The research employs a normative legal method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that cockfighting conducted as part of the Tabuh Rah ritual is permissible based on the Batur Agung Inscription (933 Saka) and the Batuan Inscription (944 Saka) without requiring official authorization. However, cockfighting conducted outside the ritual context and involving betting constitutes gambling in violation of the Criminal Code and Law No. 7 of 1974. Perpetrators may be held criminally liable for intentionally committing an unlawful act.

The fundamental issue in sustainable tourism management that remains less than optimal can be seen from the limited involvement of local communities and the lack of integrated management of tourism potential in the Pura Maduwe Karang area. The purpose of this study is to analyze sustainable tourism management in the management of Pura Maduwe Karang. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method through observation, interviews, literature review, and documentation. The theoretical foundations used include the concepts of Sustainable Tourism, the Triple Bottom Line, and Tourism Impact Theory.The results show that the implementation of sustainable tourism management at Pura Maduwe Karang is still basic and has not been structured professionally. The socio-cultural aspect is relatively well preserved through customary roles and ceremonial activities; however, the economic aspect has not provided significant benefits for individuals in the local community, as contributions remain limited to collective interests of the traditional village. The environmental aspect is currently well maintained due to the temple’s sacred status but may decline if tourist numbers increase without proper management. The main constraints lie in the lack of promotion, facilities, and human resource capacity in management. This study emphasizes the importance of tourism management strategies that balance the dimensions of profit, people, and planet, and encourages collaboration among traditional villages, local governments, and communities to maintain the sustainability of the temple as both a cultural heritage site and a tourist destination.

Data analysis was conducted qualitatively based on the achievements of participatory observation, interviews, choreography training, and workshops. The results: 1) the loss of pride among the local community and the difficulty in finding Rejang Dewa dancers indicate a crisis; 2) the reconstruction of the Rejang Dewa dance was carried out through replication and integration of art and education in PKM activities based on local cultural studies; 3) the reconstruction of the Rejang Dewa has impacted on strengthening the aesthetic aspects and the function of religion and fostering a sense of pride in the culture of the Tukad Mungga Village community.

This community service program aims to enhance the English communication skills of strawberry farmers in Pancasari Village, Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, as an effort to strengthen tourism competitiveness through agrotourism. The activity was carried out through practical English training using a participatory and context-based approach that reflects the farmers’ real communication needs. The training consisted of two main stages: a classroom session employing the role-play method and a field practice session held directly at the strawberry farm with the involvement of local tourists and student assistants. The training materials covered daily expressions commonly used in interactions with visitors, including greetings, product explanation, offering activities, and basic transaction language. The primary learning media were a bilingual communication booklet and situational training modules, both developed from the results of a prior needs analysis. The evaluation results showed a significant improvement in the participants’ English communication abilities. Based on the pre-test and post-test results, the average improvement reached 43%, particularly in speaking confidence, vocabulary mastery, and fluency. Participants also demonstrated increased enthusiasm and professionalism when interacting with tourists in English. This program proves that practical and role-play–based training is effective in developing both linguistic competence and communicative confidence among local farmers. It also strengthens their role as tourism actors who contribute to the sustainable development of the Pancasari agrotourism area.

Method: This study employed a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design with a total sample of 76 students. Data were collected using the DASS-21 questionnaire. The statistical test used was the Wilcoxon test. Results: The results of this study indicate that the sig. (2-tailed) or p-value = 0.000. Since the p-value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Conclusion: There is an Effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) Therapy to Reduce Stress in Nursing Students of STIKes Buleleng in Facing the SKS Load.

Plantation agriculture encompasses all activities involving the cultivation of specific crops and the commercialization of their products and services, supported by science, technology, capital, and management, with the aim of improving the welfare of plantation business actors and the wider community. This study aims to analyze the production scale, input elasticity, and factors affecting clove production in Umejero Village, Busungbiu District, Buleleng Regency. Given the high dependence of farmers on harvest outcomes and price fluctuations, this analysis is essential to understand the impact of economic and agronomic variables such as working capital, labor, land area, and selling price on production output. The study employs a quantitative method using multiple linear regression based on the Cobb-Douglas production function. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with clove farmers in Umejero Village using purposive sampling. The results indicate that all four variables simultaneously have a significant effect on clove production, with each variable also having a partial positive influence. The analysis of production scale shows increasing returns to scale, meaning that a proportional increase in all input factors leads to a more than proportional increase in output. The elasticity analysis indicates that capital input is elastic, suggesting that a small increase in capital leads to a disproportionately large increase in output. In contrast, labor, land area, and selling price are inelastic, implying that increases in these inputs result in only modest increases in output. These findings highlight the need for solid policy foundations and strategic initiatives to enhance clove productivity both at the farmer and local government levels. Furthermore, the study’s results are expected to assist farmers in making more informed and sustainable decisions in farm management, ultimately contributing to the improved welfare of clove-farming communities in the region.
