ABSTRAK Tuberkulosis Paru termasuk penyakit menular kronis yang disebabkan oleh Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Berdasarkan Survei Pravelensi TB oleh Badan Litbangkes Kemenkes RI, dewasa ini diketahui bahwa Indonesia merupakan negara peringkat kedua dengan kasus TB terbanyak di dunia. Waktu pengobatan yang panjang dengan jenis obat lebih dari satu menyebabkan penderita sering terancam putus berobat selama masa penyembuhan dengan berbagai alasan, oleh karena itu penyakit ini sangat perlu mendapat perhatian untuk ditanggulangi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan dan kepatuhan penderita dalam program pengobatan TB paru di Puskesmas Pekauman Kota Banjarmasin. Jenis penelitian kuantitatif dan menggunakan desain deskriptif korelasional. Pengambilan data dilakukan menggunakan angket dalam bentuk kuisioner dengan teknik purposive sampling. Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS) versi 23 digunakan untuk menganalisis data yang telah dikumpulkan. Sebanyak 20% responden berpengetahuan baik, 42,5% berpengetahuan cukup, 35% berpengetahuan kurang dan 2,5% berpengetahuan sangat kurang, 92,5% patuh dan 7,5% tidak patuh selama pengobatan. Analisa data dilakukan dengan uji Spearman Rho dengan jumlah responden sebanyak 40 orang. Berdasarkan analisa statistik α = 0.05 diperoleh r = 0,383 dan ρ = 0,015, sehingga terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat pengetahun dengan kepatuhan penderita TB paru. Semakin baik tingkat pengetahuan penderita terhadap penyakit, cara penularan dan pengobatan TB Paru maka akan semakin baik pula kepatuhan yang dimiliki, dan begitu pula sebaliknya. Diharapkan kepada dokter, farmasis, perawat, dan petugas kesehatan lain dapat berkolaborasi membangunpartnership yang baik untuk memberikan pendidikan kesehatan yang adekuat bagi penderita terutama terkait pentingnya kepatuhan dalam menjalani terapi.

This article is organized around the idea that a person can be a part of kinesiology without being in kinesiology. Trained as a sociologist and never having a faculty appointment outside of a sociology department, I am an outsider in kinesiology. However, my participation in kinesiology and relationships with scholars in kinesiology departments have fostered my professional growth and my appreciation of interdisciplinary approaches to studying sports, physical activities, and the moving human body. The knowledge produced by scholars in kinesiology subdisciplines has provided a framework for situating and assessing my research, teaching, and professional service as a sociologist. The latter half of this article focuses on changes in higher education and how they are likely to negatively impact the social sciences and humanities subdisciplines in kinesiology. The survival of these subdisciplines will depend, in part, on how leaders in the field respond to the question, Kinesiology for whom?

Environmental policy represents one of the important administrative issues for organizations that seek to have a bright future. They are required to make great and real efforts to diagnose the environmental dimension, evaluate environmental efforts, and think about effective means, mechanisms and ways to protect the environment in the future and to correct past mistakes. The aim of this research is to show the impact that the environmental policy can play in achieving the requirements of sustainability. The research relied on the independent variable represented by the environmental policy, and the dependent variable 17 السياسة البيإية ودور ا ف تحقيق متطلبا االستدامة Millennium Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences 2(4): (2021) on sustainability and its requirements represented by (rationalization of resource consumption, reducing pollution, reducing the impact on human health, and using renewable energy). The descriptive analytical approach was adopted in the completion of this research, and it included answering the questions related to the research problem by testing two main hypotheses, with regard to correlation and influence relations. The General Battery Industry / Babel 1 Factory in Baghdad, and the statistical program (SPSS.V.23) was used to extract the results. This research reached a set of conclusions regarding environmental policy, the most prominent of which is that it has a continuous and effective positive impact that occurs due to internal and external environmental factors in achieving sustainability, which was represented by the validity of the two hypotheses of the research with the existence of a link and impact of environmental policy on sustainability.

In this article, we examine whether cross-national studies disclose enough information for independent researchers to evaluate the validity and reliability of the findings (evaluation transparency) or to perform a direct replication (replicability transparency). The first contribution is theoretical. We develop a heuristic theoretical model including the actors, factors, and processes that influence the transparency of cross-national studies and provide an overview of the measures currently taken to improve research transparency. The second contribution is empirical, in which we analyze the level of transparency in published cross-national studies. Specifically, using a random sample of 305 comparative studies published in one of 29 peer-reviewed social sciences journals (from 1986 to 2016), we show that, even though all the articles include some methodological information, the great majority lack sufficient information for evaluation and replication. Lastly, we develop and propose a set of transparency guidelines tailored for reporting cross-national survey research.
