Waste is one of the materials that can pollute the river. Most waste is disposed of into the river so that it will cause pollution in the river. The problem of river pollution, one of which occurs in the Loji River located in Pekalongan City, which still discharges a lot of batik waste carelessly into rivers and waterways. The research was conducted in Loji River, Pekalongan City. The purpose of this study was to determine the water quality and level of water pollution in the Loji River Pekalongan due to batik industry waste. The determination of location used survey method. The sampling method was purposive sampling based on land use activities and ease of access to water collection, which was divided into three segments, namely segment I, segment II, segment III. In each segment, two sample points were taken. Water quality was determined based on Government Regulation Number 22 of 2021 according to river water quality standards. The level of water pollution was determined by the Pollution Index (IP) method. The results showed that based on the parameters that had been tested, the water quality of the Loji River no longer met the class II water quality standards. The level of water pollution in Loji River was categorized as lightly polluted based on the pollution index. The lowest Loji River water pollution index value was 0.731 which was in the good category and the highest value was 1.725 which was in the lightly polluted category.

The School Health Unit (UKS) program has been implemented since 1984. Although this program has been done yearly, the children's health status has not been optimized yet. Studies have been done to evaluate this program, however very limited studies have been done to explore the stakeholders of the program, their roles, and their conflicts, especially at the school level. This study aimed to stakeholder analysis of school health programs at school level. This was a qualitative case study of 4 elementary schools in North Jakarta. Data collection was carried out by means of in-depth interviews. Stakeholder analysis was performed by using steps which consist of identifying stakeholders, identifying interests, analyzing the influence of identified stakeholders and identifying risks, and anticipating risk management. Stakeholder mapping is done using the Grid mapping model. This study shows that in private primary schools, the most influential actors were foundations, namely as “context setters”. In public elementary schools, UKS teachers were the “subjects” and the education authorities were the powerful party in the development of infrastructure. This study also found that there was a conflict between the interests and influence of the main stakeholders, namely foundations and Education Authorities. Foundations and Education Authorities were not directly involved in implementing UKS in schools. This research concludes that the actors have not been maximal in carrying out their roles in the UKS policy at elementary schools in North Jakarta. Cooperation between actors needs to be improved.

Sepsis is a medical emergency that describes the body's systemic immunological response to infectious processes that can lead to end-stage organ dysfunction and death. The role of nurses in tackling sepsis patients is critical to identifying the initial condition of sepsis and reducing the continuation of even more severe sepsis. This narrative review aims to identify the role of nurses in treating sepsis patients in critical care units. This research method was the narrative review by analyzing online search databases namely Pubmed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. The search inclusion criteria were an English-language article, published in 2008-2021, full text, the keywords used were "sepsis", "the role of nurses", "critical care". Our search found 11 articles showed that the role of nurses in treating sepsis patients is early introduction to sepsis to start treatment, team training to ensure a safe and effective approach and the implementation of infection prevention and control measures as prevention of sepsis. So the role of nurses in tackling sepsis patients is critical to identifying the early conditions of sepsis, controlling and preventing sepsis, preventing the progression of the disease and contributing to decreased morbidity and mortality.Keywords: sepsis; the role of nurses; critical care ABSTRAK Sepsis merupakan keadaan darurat medis yang menggambarkan respons imunologi sistemik tubuh terhadap proses infeksi yang dapat menyebabkan disfungsi organ stadium akhir dan kematian.

TRAINING OF ANTY-HYPERTENSION CADRES IN RW 15, PENJARINGAN, NORTH JAKARTA. The prevalence of NCD Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) in Indonesia is increasing, including hypertension. DKI Jakarta is one of the provinces with high prevalence of hypertension. To prevent complications due hypertension, regular screening and monitoring of risk factors is needed. Screening and monitoring of risk factors have been carried out by health officers through Posbindu PTM, also the active role of the community is needed. RW 15 Penjaringan is one of the RW with high prevalence of hypertension (29.9%) even though they already have Posbindu. The problems that occur in their Posbindu are the low number of visits by people with hypertension, the cadres lacks of knowledge about hypertension, lack of skills in measuring blood pressure, and lack of tensimeter to cover people with hypertension. To overcome this problem, RW 15 runs an anti-hypertension program that requires active and skilled cadres. It is necessary to train cadres for the sustainability of the program. These cadre training includes a pre-post test to measure cadres' knowledge, provide education about hypertension, then demonstrations and simulations of blood pressure measurement. After that, the cadres' knowledge of hypertension increased, and all cadres were able to measure blood pressure using a tensimeter. It is hoped that when the program run, cadres will be able to apply what was done during the training properly, and material refreshment should be done to maintain the quality of cadres’ knowledge.

Background: Since 2006 evaluation of scientific writing process, as graduation requirement in Faculty of Medicine Atma Jaya Catholic University, has not been done. The objective of this study is to find out supervisors perceptions on quality of under graduate theses and its relationship to supervisors’ characteristics. Method: This descriptive study was done to 29 supervisors. Interviews were done using questionnaire. Dependent variable was perceptions on quality of under graduate theses (idea, proposal, writing process, presentation and publication). Independent variables were characteristic, knowledge, attitude and behavior of supervisors related to process of scientific writing. Data was analyzed using chi-square test. Results: There was equal proportion (50% vs 50%) between good perception and bad perception on quality of undergraduate theses. Significant relationship was found between perception on quality with supervisors attitude (p=0.04) and master degree (p=0.02). Supervisors aged 45 years old and less (53% vs 47%), have taught for 10 years and less (64% vs 39%), have academic position as assistant and lectur (5% vs 47%), have published articles within the last 3 years (40% vs 60%), have more than one research within the last 3 years (56% vs 4 %), have non positive attitude (78% vs 27%), supervise students twice or more (57% vs 43%), meet student for less than 45 minutes per meeting (67% vs 33%), were more like to perceive low quality of under graduate theses. Conclusion: Supervisors generally perceive that qualities of under graduate theses are still low. Positive attitude and non-magister supervisors tend to perceive the quality of theses to be good.
