Kesehatan kerja dan penyakit akibat kerja kasus kondisi emergensi di tempat kerja
Get PDFWorkplace accidents refer to unintended incidents or events resulting in human loss, disruption of work processes, or property damage in industrial work environments. The impacts of workplace accidents include physical injuries, work-related illnesses, property damage, economic losses, and social consequences. Various steps can be taken to prevent workplace accidents, including the implementation of workplace safety regulations and standards, compliance with safety requirements, provision of safety education and training for workers, safety supervision and inspections, and the formation of a safety culture in the workplace. The Indonesian government has taken steps through various policies to reduce workplace accident incidents. The aluminum industry is one sector with a high risk of workplace accidents. This is due to the aluminum production process involving hazardous stages, heavy machinery use, specialized equipment, and complex chemical processes. One emergency situation that can occur in the aluminum industry is fire, as seen in the case of the fire at PT Aluminium Indonesia's factory in Pergudangan Manis, Curug, Tangerang. This fire was caused by sparks from welding that hit aluminum coils intended for making aluminum foil near the welding site. The author aims to delve deeper into this case, including the risk factors, hazards faced, and ways to prevent and handle such fire incidents. This objective aims to provide a better understanding of workplace accidents, especially fires, in the aluminum industry and how to prevent them
The contemporary issues related to conventional treatment of acne and the way forward
Get PDFABSTRACT
Background: People perceive acne as a minority disorder (not a major health concern), but it has a significant impact and burden on the victims. Although conventional drugs are available for its treatment, which are applied directly to the affected skin, such as azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid etc. or formulationAcne vulgaris is a common skin condition that can have a significant impact on individuals, yet conventional treatments often come with various contemporary issues. This paper discusses the contemporary issues related to the conventional treatment of acne and explores a way forward. Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous unit, with a high prevalence globally and in Nigeria. Although conventional drugs are available for treatment, there are several contemporary issues related to their usage that need to be addressed. Method: Relevant literature, including stakeholder reports and studies conducted globally and locally, were searched and reviewed to identify the contemporary issues related to conventional acne treatment. The key contemporary issues identified include economic, environmental, emotional, social, and spiritual concerns. Findings: The economic burden of costly conventional medications makes them inaccessible for many. Environmental issues arise from the use of potentially harmful chemicals that can pollute water sources and contribute to climate change. Acne can also lead to emotional distress, social stigma, and spiritual conflicts, especially due to the side effects of conventional treatments. Given the limitations of conventional treatments, the article recommends the use of scientifically-proven herbal remedies as a promising alternative strategy. Herbs such as tea tree oil, green tea, chasteberry, black seed, and spikeweed have demonstrated antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-androgenic properties that can effectively manage acne without the adverse effects of conventional drugs. Conclusion: The use of evidence-based herbal medicines offers a way forward in the treatment of acne, addressing the contemporary issues associated with conventional approaches. Further clinical research and regulatory approval are necessary to integrate these herbal remedies into conventional acne management and ensure their widespread and safe use. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study proposes an integrated acne treatment framework that combines conventional therapies with evidence-based herbal medicine. This approach addresses contemporary issues in acne treatment by considering economic, environmental, and socio-cultural aspects
Berbagai genus bakteri pada eksoskeleton lalat di pasar tradisional: Kajian pustaka

The fly species strongly suspected to be the most pathogen-carrying agent was Chrysomya megacephala as it was present in all markets. It can be concluded that in Traditional Markets there are three dominant fly species that carry seven genus of bacteria that can be identified and Chrysomya megacephala is the most pathogen-carrying agent
Biofortified biscuits with indigenous plants: An innovative approach to prevent stunting in early childhood
Get PDFBackground: The increase in human living standards is in line with the demands of public health quality. Stunting in Indonesia has reached 37.2%, placing it in fifth place in the world and becoming one of the five major health problems being addressed by the government. This study aims to find the right biscuit formulation from cassava leaves and cowpea seeds as an effort to prevent stunting. Methods: Making biscuits needs to be preceded by making cassava leaf paste and winged bean seed flour and then determining various formulations. Variations in winged bean seed flour formulation: cassava leaf paste, namely F1 (20:10), F2 (25:15), F3 (30:10). Biscuits are made using the cream method, namely mixing sugar, skim milk, margarine and egg yolks until homogeneous then adding wheat flour, winged bean seed flour, cassava leaf paste, water and leavening agent. The dough is rolled, molded and baked at 170 o C for 30 minutes. Findings: after carrying out organoleptic tests to measure product quality and determine the best formulation, it turned out that F2 was the biscuit formulation that the panelists liked most. Conclusion: The development of stunting prevention biscuits from cassava leaves and winged bean seeds is a potential solution. The next step is to disseminate this product as part of a stunting prevention strategy in the community. Novelty/Originality of this Study: The use of local agricultural resources, specifically winged bean seeds and cassava leaves, to develop a nutritious and affordable biscuit aimed at preventing stunting is an innovative approach that not only addresses the chronic malnutrition problem but also supports local economies by utilizing underutilized crops
Hubungan pengetahuan dan konsumsi vitamin c dengan kadar timbal dalam urin remaja di kecamatan Curug
Get PDFLead is a toxic and pervasive metal. Chronic exposure to low levels is responsible for significant health effects, particularly in early adolescent. Prevention remains the best option for reducing lead exposure. The objective of the present study was to determine the association between knowledge and consumption of vitamin c with lead exposure in early adolescents’ urine. This research is a quantitative study with cross sectional study design. Research subjects were 52 adolescents aged 12-16 years from Kadu Village, Curug. We examined associations of levels of knowledge and consumption of vitamin c with urine lead levels (Pb-U). We used a brief questionnaire on prevention for lead poisoning, included to measure knowledge (from Chicago Lead Knowledge Test Questionnaire) and daily intake of vitamin C (from Food Frequency Questionnaire) completed by respondents. Pb-U was measured using ICP-OES. The average urine lead levels of the early adolescents was 28,88 μg/L (median: 27,70 μg/L; CI 95% 24,85-32,90) (n=52), and Std. 14,46 μg/L. There was a significant difference between knowledge and the levels of Pb in the urine of early adolescent (p = 0,045). There was no significant difference between the consumption of vitamin c and the levels of Pb in the urine of early adolescent (p = 0,379). The hypothesis proved that the levels of knowledge affects lead levels in the urine of early adolescents. Therefore, it is suggested that government should educate the public about lead and its preventive actions and collaborate with policy makers to be more efficient
