Latar belakang. Obesitas pada balita menjadi perhatian World Health Organization (WHO) dengan menetapkan masalah obesitas sebagai salah satu indikator untuk mengatasi masalah melalui Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Pada tahun 2015, prevalensi obesitas balita secara global mencapai 6,2% atau 42 juta balita. Faktor penyebab obesitas di antaranya adalah durasi tidur, asupan makanan, dan aktivitas fisik.Tujuan. Untuk menganalisis hubungan durasi tidur, asupan makanan, dan aktivitas fisik dengan kejadian obesitas pada balita usia 3-5 tahun beserta tingkat risiko di wilayah Kota Yogyakarta. Metode. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kasus-kontrol dengan jumlah total subjek adalah 144 balita di wilayah Kota Yogyakarta. Jumlah subjek pada masing-masing kelompok adalah 72 balita. Data durasi tidur diperoleh melalui kuesioner Children’s Sleep Habit Questionnaire (CSHQ) tervalidasi, data asupan makanan dikumpulkan dengan kuesioner recall makan 2x24 jam, dan data aktivitas fisik diperoleh dari kuesioner recall aktivitas fisik 24 jam. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Chi- square dan regresi logistik. Hasil. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara durasi tidur, asupan makanan, dan aktivitas fisik dengan kejadian obesitas pada balita usia 3-5 tahun (p<0,005). Balita dengan durasi tidur kurang (lama tidur <10 jam) berisiko menjadi obesitas 2,5 (OR=2,49; IK95%: 1,04-5,93) kali lebih besar dibandingkan dengan balita dengan durasi tidur yang cukup (lama tidur ≥10jam). Balita dengan asupan makanan lebih (asupan energi >110 % AKG) berisiko menjadi obesitas 4,4 (OR=4,42; IK95%: 2,02-9,69) kali lebih besar dibandingkan dengan balita dengan asupan makanan cukup (asupan energi 80-110% AKG). Balita dengan aktivitas fisik sangat ringan (PAL<1,5) berisiko menjadi obesitas 6,1 (OR=6,15; IK95%: 2,73-13,85) dibandingkan dengan balita dengan aktivitas fisik ringan atau sedang. Kesimpulan. Durasi tidur, asupan makanan, dan aktivitas fisik, secara signifikan berhubungan dengan kejadian obesitas pada balita usia 3-5 tahun.

Dengue circulates endemically in many tropical and subtropical regions. In 2012, the World Health Organization (WHO) set out goals to reduce dengue mortality and morbidity by 50% and 25%, respectively, between 2010 and 2020. These goals will not be met. This is, in part, due to existing interventions being insufficiently effective to prevent spread. Further, complex and variable patterns of disease presentation coupled with imperfect surveillance systems mean that even tracking changes in burden is rarely possible. As part of the Sustainable Development Goals, WHO will propose new dengue-specific goals for 2030. The 2030 goals provide an opportunity for focused action on tackling dengue burden but should be carefully developed to be ambitious but also technically feasible. Here we discuss the potential for clearly defined case fatality rates and the rollout of new and effective intervention technologies to form the foundation of these future goals. Further, we highlight how the complexity of dengue epidemiology limits the feasibility of goals that instead target dengue outbreaks.

Sustainable development is not only a national goal but also a global concern as climate change and the impacts of environmental pollution are changing the quality of life and threatening human existence. Sustainable development goals are covered in all aspects of life, including medical activities and community health care. As a component of the health system, hospitals not only perform medical examination and treatment as well as research on treatment methods but also ensure the conditions for achieving sustainable development goals and other non-medical targets of the health sector. The paper focuses on analyzing the Green hospital model and the need to build this model in the implementation of the sustainable development goals.

Tujuan nomor 3 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) adalah memastikan kehidupan yang sehat dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan untuk semua usia. Beberapa target dari tujuan tersebut adalah menurunkan angka kematian ibu pada tahun 2030 menjadi tidak lebih dari 70 per 100.000 kelahiran hidup dan mencapai cakupan kesehatan universal. Salah satu cara menurunkan risiko kematian pada ibu yang punya komplikasi kehamilan adalah secara normal adalah operasi sesar meskipun bukan berarti operasi sesar tidak memiliki efek samping. World Health Organization berpendapat bahwa angka persalinan sesar suatu negara diatas 10 persen tidak ada hubungannya dengan angka kematian ibu, kondisi ini belum terpenuhi di Indonesia pada tahun 2017 dimana angka persalinan sesar menyentuh angka 17 persen. Persalinan sesar juga lebih sering terjadi pada wanita perkotaan dimana sebesar 66,5 persen persalinan sesar dilakukan di perkotaan. Tidak hanya itu, hanya sebesar 25 persen wanita miskin yang memanfaatkan fasilitas ini. Meskipun angka persalinan sesar sudah terlalu tinggi, persalinan sesar lebih sering dimanfaatkan oleh golongan tertentu. Penelitian ini berjenis cross section menggunakan regresi logistik multilevel dengan tujuan menemukan gambaran umum dan karakteristik persalinan wanita tanpa komplikasi kehamilan dan variabel individual serta kontekstual yang mempengaruhinya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 13,8 persen persalinan wanita tanpa komplikasi kehamilan dilakukan secara sesar. Dari hasil analisis ditemukan bahwa 7,52 persen keragaman disebabkan oleh variabel kontekstual. Variabel-variabel yang berpengaruh secara signifikan adalah usia, pendidikan formal yang ditamatkan, riwayat keguguran, anak yang pernah dilahirkan dan karakteristik wilayah pdrb per kapita dan persentase rumah sakit swasta.

The chapter argues that whether or not the world is successful in attaining sustainability, political systems are in a process of epoch-defining change as a result of the unsustainable demands of our social systems. This chapter theorizes a framework for analyzing the political “translation” of sustainability norms within national polities. Translation, in this sense, denotes the political reinterpretation of sustainable development as well as the national capacities and contexts which impact how sustainability agendas can be instrumentalized. This requires an examination into the political architecture of a national polity, the norms that inform a political process, socioecological contexts, the main communicative channels involved in the dissemination of political discourse and other key structures and agencies, and the kinds of approaches toward sustainability that inform the political process. This framework aims to draw attention to the ways in which global economic, political, and social systems are adapting and transforming as a result of unsustainability and to further understanding of the effectiveness of globally diffused sustainability norms in directing that change.

The  The World Environment Conference in Stockholm in 1972 became clear evidence that environmental problems began to be a concern of various countries around the world, including Indonesia. Humans can not continue to exploit environment for resources and landfills. Environmental project management includes sustainable development aimed at improving the welfare of the community, conserving available natural resources, and ensuring the sustainability of the life of the surrounding environment. This concept is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals which are peace and prosperity for humans and earth, for now and in the future. Indonesia is not the only country that cares about the environment in accordance with the goals of the SGDs. Philippines divides project-affected communities into direct and indirect affected communities. United Kingdom has The European Union (EU) biodiversity strategy which aims to maintain and restore ecosystems. Denmark has The Innovation Network for Environmental Technology (Inno-MT) which is a partnership that supports projects related to waste, air, water and soil. This study aims to understand the principles of sustainable development related to environmental project management and its implementation in Indonesia. In addition, the researcher lists the actions taken by other countries regarding environmental project management to get a wider perspective.   Konferensi Lingkungan Hidup Sedunia di Stockholm tahun 1972 menjadi bukti nyata permasalahan lingkungan mulai menjadi perhatian dari berbagai negara di seluruh dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Manusia tidak dapat terus mengeksploitasi lingkungan untuk sumber daya dan tempat pembuangan limbah. Manajemen proyek lingkungan mencakup pembangunan  berkelanjutan yang bertujuan meningkatkan kesejahteraan  masyarakat,  melestarikan  sumber daya alam  yang tersedia, dan  menjamin   keberlangsungan   kehidupan   lingkungan   disekitarnya. Konsep ini sejalan dengan tujuan Sustainable Development Goals yaitu perdamaian dan kemakmuran bagi manusia dan bumi, baik saat ini maupun di masa mendatang. Indonesia bukan satu-satunya negara yang peduli mengenai lingkungan sesuai dengan tujuan SGDs. Negara-negara yang menandatangani PBB juga melakukan hal yang sama. Filipina membagi masyarakat terdampak proyek menjadi masyarakat terkena dampak langsung dan tidak langsung.  Inggris memiliki The Eurpean Union (EU) biodiversity strategy yang bertujuan untuk mempertahankan dan memulihkan ekosistem. Denmark memiliki The Innovation Network for Environmental Technology (Inno-MT) yaitu kemitraan yang mendukung proyek yang berhubungan dengan limbah, udara, air dan tanah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk  memahami prinsip-prinsip yang digunakan  dalam rangka pembangunan berkelanjutan yang berkaitan dengan manajemen proyek lingkungan dan pengimplementasiannya di Indonesia. Selain itu, peneliti mencantumkan tindakan-tindakan yang dilakukan oleh negara lain terkait manajemen proyek lingkungan untuk mendapatkan sudut pandang yang lebih luas

The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, incorporating the Business and Sustainable Development Commission (BSDC), has stated more rapid attention needs to be directed to implementation of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (also known as Global Goals) by 2030, and this is particularly the case in developing countries. Strategy with this type of inclusion is at the forefront of the solution to current global climatic change and escalating social problems such as poverty, hunger, and inequality. This chapter argues that multinational enterprises (MNEs) are in an excellent position to implement Social Initiatives (SIs) as part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) framework and incorporate this into their CSR strategy. This will allow MNEs to be key instigators of SDG implementation and collaboration across sectors, governments, and public and private entities. This chapter provides an explanation of the various frameworks that support MNEs to implement SDGs, and describes the requirements for implementation, followed by a summary of 15 case studies where SDGs have been successfully implemented within a Shared Value and CSR context.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) began in 2016 with great hopes that they will promote social development, economic development, and environmentally sustainable development with the motto, “Leave No One Behind” (UN 2016). In particular, SDGs’ goal 5, “Achieve Gender Equality and Empower All Women and Girls” (UN 2016). However, persistently high gender gap was found in many countries around the world whether they are developed or developing. The 2016 Global Gender Gap Index (GGGI), which examines gender inequality across four key areas of health, education, economy and politics, showed that the gender gap widened in many countries, and the gap in “economic participation and opportunity” showed the largest gender gap compared to health, education and political participation (World Economic Forum 2016). Interestingly, the GGGI do not match the global ranking of countries based on their GDP size, GDP per capita, or even the level of poverty. Thus, in order to deal with the underlying causes of deep-rooted and persistent gender inequality we must develop more culturally nuanced and contextualized approaches in the SDGs to tackle gender inequality (Song & Kim 2013). Gender inequality is simply not acceptable in the world where half of the world’s citizens are not provided with the same rights as the other half. It is also economically less productive to rely on only half of the world’s labor force to help eradicate poverty. Education, employment, and full empowerment of women and girls must be a priority for the SDGs.
