Permasalahan tentang perlindungan lingkungan telah mencapai kepentingan tertinggi di era global saat ini, tetapi dalam praktiknya konsep dasar pengelolaan sampah sering diabaikan. Dalam hal ini setiap orang memiliki pengetahuan tentang pengelolaan sampah namun dalam penerapannya bersikap negatif atau buruk. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan dengan sikap pengelolaan sampah pada mahasiswa FKM UIN Sumatera Utara Medan. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional dengan sampel sebanyak 245 mahasiswa. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan 2 metode. Pada metode pertama, sampel diambil menggunakan Cluster Sampling dengan teknik PPS (Probability Proportionate to Size), kemudian metode kedua diambil menggunakan Simple Random Sampling. Kriteria inklusi adalah mahasiswa yang bersedia menjadi responden penelitian dan hadir pada saat penelitian berlangsung dan kriteri eksklusi adalah mahasiswa yang mengundurkan diri dan tidak hadir pada saat penelitian berlangsung. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis univariat dan bivariat. Hasil analisis hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan sikap pengelolaan sampah yang baik diperoleh bahwa ada sebanyak 141 (61,3%) mahasiswa yang pengetahuannya baik bersikap baik dalam melakukan pengelolaan sampah. Sedangkan diantara mahasiswa yang memiliki pengetahuan yang buruk, ada 11 (73,3%) mahasiswa yang bersikap baik dalam melakukan pengelolaan sampah. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan sikap pengelolaan sampah pada mahasiswa FKM UIN Sumatera Utara Medan.

Albuminuria is a pathological condition wherein the protein albumin is present in urine.Albumin levels can be used as biomarker of kidney damage caused by cadmium (Cd).Many factors influence albuminuria, including environmental conditions, lifestylerelated factors, and sociodemographic characteristics. This study examined the association of sociodemographic characteristics with both urinary Cd levels and urinary albumin levels among rural residents living close to a dumpsite in Namo Bintang village. This study used a cross-sectional design, and the study population consisted of adult men and women (n = 99) who were selected using the stratified random sampling method based on the distance from their homes to the landfill. The data were analyzed using Spearman's Rho and Mann-Whitney tests. Urinary albumin was determined using the urinary albumin (µg)/creatinine (mg) ratio, and urinary Cd levels were normalized to Cd (µg)/creatinine (g). Urinary albumin was measured by spectrophotometric and enzymatic analyses. Urinary Cd levels were determined using a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer in spot urine sampled at baseline. The characteristics of the participants, such as age, body mass index (BMI), sex, Cd exposure, occupation, and smoking status, were obtained through a direct interview using a questionnaire. The average urinary albumin level was 8.69 ± 14.55 µg/mg creatinine, and the average urinary Cd level was 35.1 ± 32.65 µg/g creatinine.Women had a higher risk than men of having albumin in their urine, pointing to an association between sex and urinary albumin levels (p = 0.041). Based on the findings of this study, local government officials should advise rural residents in dumpsite areas not to use well water for drinking and to check the water quality regularly to prevent urinary disease.
