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.

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.
