Abstract

This article aims to analyze the dichotomies and intersections of public interest, evaluation studies, and policy changes, so as to provide policy evaluators with substantial understanding at both a conceptual and a comprehensive practice level. This research uses a type of research in the form of library research. Sources of data obtained from relevant literature, such as books, journals, or scientific articles related to the selected topic. The results of the research in this article show that the views of experts are focused on how the dynamics of policy issues vary. The main challenges in evaluation studies include the uncertainty of policy objectives, causality relationships, spread of policy influence, difficulty in obtaining data, and official resistance. Policy changes influenced by proposals for new policies may overlap, at least in part, with existing programs. Policy may create conditions that require change because of inadequate or conflicting effects.

Abstract

By Applying the CTL learning model, classroom action research offers benefits that allow students to produce content according to their understanding so that they can relate it to everyday life. The low student learning outcomes in the social studies class in class IV SD Negeri Gambarsari II are the first problem articulation, and the lack of student involvement in the IPS class in class IV SD Negeri Gambarsari II is the second. The research method used is classroom action research with a qualitative approach, which presents research data descriptively in the form of a presentation of the data studied. The results showed that 64.28% of students had acquired knowledge during the first cycle and 89.28% in cycle II. In other words, the CTL learning paradigm improves the ability of fourth-grade students in public elementary schools in the Gambarsari II social studies subject.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a non-communicable disease which is a global health problem with a control strategy that requires patient independence in self-care. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and self-care behavior in Diabetes Mellitus patients in the Working Area of ​​UPT Puskesmas Tubaan. This research is a type of correlational quantitative research with a cross sectional design. There is a significant relationship between family support and self-care behavior in Diabetes Mellitus patients in the Working Area of ​​UPT Puskesmas Tubaan (p-value = 0.006). So it can be concluded that family support with low Diabetes Mellitus patients is 2 times more likely to result in low self-care behavior. It is necessary to take a family approach so that the patient is able to get family support to achieve better self-care behavior.

Abstract

Efforts to achieve the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) start from infancy by providing Mother's Milk so that humans can live in a healthy and prosperous life. There are still many breastfeeding mothers who have less milk production and lack of innovation based on family medicinal plants to overcome the problem of lack of milk production in breastfeeding mothers using cassava leaves. This study aims to determine the effect of cassava leaves (Premna corymbosa) on the smooth production of breast milk in breastfeeding mothers at the UPT Puskesmas Tanjung Redeb. This type of research is comparative quantitative with a true-experiment research design using a pre-post-test without control group design. The bivariate test showed smooth milk production (sig 0.000; t-count 8.375) and increased milk production (p-value 0.004; t-count 3.161). So it can be concluded that there is a significant effect on cassava leaves (Premna corymbosa) on the smoothness and increase in milk production in breastfeeding mothers at the UPT Puskesmas Tanjung Redeb.
