Risk Factors for Low Back Pain (LBP) in Tofu Industry Workers in Palembang, Indonesia
No full textTofu industry workers are at risk of experiencing Low Back Pain (LBP) because they work with heavy loads and risky work postures for a continuous period of time. The study aims to analyze the relationship between work posture, work period, and knowledge with LBP.: Descriptive analytical research with a cross-sectional design, conducted in Palembang City from March to April 2024. The study involved 40 participants. Data collection was carried out by observation and interviews. Work posture was assessed using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method, while the variables of length of service, knowledge, and LBP were obtained from interviews. All data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test and Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) at a 95% confidence level. The study found that 17 (42.5%) respondents experienced LBP, 13 (32.5%) had risky work postures, and 22 (55%) respondents had a work period of 6-10 years. The analysis results found that there was a significant relationship between work posture (P= 0.007) and work period (P= 0.010). At the same time, knowledge did not show a significant relationship with LBP (P= 0.167). Risk factors for LBP in tofu industry workers are work posture (POR= 9.524) and work period (POR= 9.750). The study results found that LBP is closely related to work posture and work period. Muscle stretching, getting enough rest, and using ergonomic work tools are research recommendations
Perbedaan MoL Bonggol Pisang dan EM4 sebagai Aktivator terhadap Lama Pengomposan Sampah dengan Metode Takakura
No full textPengomposan dengan metode Takakura merupakan proses pengolahan sampah yang sangat mudah diterapkan, agar waktu penguraian lebih cepat maka dapat digunakan activator sebagai dekomposernya. Bonggol pisang dan EM4 (Effective Microorganism) merupakan salah satu activator yang dapat mempercepat pengomposan. MoL (Mikroorganisme Lokal) adalah kumpulan mikroorganisme yang yang berfungsi dalam penguraian senyawa organik karena mengandung Azotobacter sp., Lactobacillus sp., ragi, bakteri fotosintetik dan jamur pengurai selulosa. Tahapan penelitian yang dilakukan adalah pembuatan MoL, pengaktifan EM4 dan tahap pengomposan. Perlakuan diproses dalam 2 unit keranjang takakura dengan ulangan sebanyak 4 kali sehingga jumlah sampel sebanyak 8 dan 1 kontrol. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis efektivitas mikroorganisme lokal bonggol pisang dan EM4 sebagai aktifator terhadap lama pengomposan sampah organik dengan metode Takakura. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan rancangan penelitian eksperimen yaitu melakukan pengamatan terhadap proses pengomposan. Manfaat yang diperoleh adalah proses pengomposan dapat dilakukan oleh ibu rumah tangga, metodenya sederhana, biayanya murah dan pembuatan MoL cukup 1 kali untuk proses pengomposan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa MoL bonggol pisang dapat digunakan sebagai aktivator pengomposan dan memiliki kemampuan yang sama dengan EM4 dengan lama waktu pengomposan adalah 21 hari.. Kesimpulan tidak ada perbedaan penggunaan MoL bonggol pisang dengan EM4 terhadap alam pengomposan dengan metode Takakura
Analisis Tingkat Intensitas Kebisingan terhadap Kelelahan Kerja Karyawan Bagian Produksi PT Sinar Sosro Palembang
No full textOccupational fatigue will increase the level of work errors and reduce performance or producti- vity. If work errors increase, there will be opportunities for workplace accidents in the industry. The purpose of this study was to determine the analysis of noise level intensity on occupational fatigue among workers at PT Sinar Sosro Palembang. The research method uses total sampling or the entire population as the study sample i.e. 40 workers of production unit. The study results obtained p-value of 0,864, which means there is no relationship between the level of noise and work fatigue among production unit workers. Nonetheless, the workers who experience mild and medium fatigue are recommended to take a short break for 5-15 minutes every 1 to 2 hours and it is expected for employees to comply more fully with PPE regulations in order to avoid work accidents

SOSIALISASI PENCEGAHAN DAN PEMBERANTASAN PENYAKIT DBD (DEMAM BERDARAH DENGUE) DI DESA MARIANA BANYUASIN I
No full textDBD (Demam Berdarah Dengue) merupakan penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh nyamuk Aedes aegypti. Kasus DBD di wilayah Palembang juga cukup tinggi, meski mengalami penurunan jika dibandingkan tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan dalam penanggulangan DBD, hingga saat ini DBD dapat dikatakan masih menjadi epidemi di Indonesia termasuk Kota Palembang. Tujuan dari program ini adalah mensosialisasikan kepada masyarakat yang berada di Desa Mariana tentang bagaimana cara pencegahan dan pemberantasan DBD di lingkungan. Metode yang digunakan berupa penyuluhan interaktif, demonstrasi dan evaluasi. Metode tepat guna untuk mencegah DBD adalah dengan pemberantasan sarang nyamuk (PSN) melalui 3 M (Menguras, Menutup, Mengubur) dan menabur larvasida serta penyebaran ikan pada tempat penampungan air, dan kegiatan lainnya yang dapat mencegah/memberantas nyamuk Aedes berkembang biak. Diharapkan masyarakat tersebut mampu memahami tentang epidemi DBD dan cara penanggulangan dan pemberantasan DBD
Effectiveness of Lime Leaves (Citrus aurantifolia) as a Natural Mosquito Repellent
No full textThe tropical climate gives rise to various kinds of tropical diseases, one of which can be caused by mosquitoes. The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness concentration of lime leaf extract (Citrus aurantifolia) in repelling the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The research method used was an experiment by observing the effect of lime leaf extract as a natural mosquito repellent. Data processing used the one way anova statistical test, namely by using treatment plus 1 control in each treatment with 3 repetitions of the experiment. The results of this research were that there were differences in the treatment of orange leaf extract with a p-value (0.0005). The conclusion of the research is that the significant extract group is the 60 mg - 40 mg, 60 mg - 50 mg treatment, meaning that 60 mg of orange leaf extract treatment is the most effective as a natural insecticide
Risk Assesment of Air Pollution Exposure (NO2, SO2, Total Suspended Particulate, and Particulate Matter 10 micron) and Smoking Habits on the Lung Function of Bus Drivers in Palembang City
No full textNitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), Particulate Matter (PM10) and TSP are the most common and harmful air pollutants to humans. In short period, air pollution exposure at 5 ppm for 10 minutes to humans causes dyspnea, and when the level is increase to 800 ppm could cause 100% mortality in animals. This study was an analytical research, with cross sectional design and risk analysis. One hundred subjects were analyzed in this study. The results showed that non-cancer Hazard Index (HI) for realtime exposure with mean value was NO2: 1.85; SO2: 2.92; TSP: 7.09; and PM10: 11.7 (HI value ≥1). The results of the analysis test for FVC lung capacity to non-cancer risk estimation of NO2, SO2, TSP and PM10 indicated that there was no significant relationship (p > 0,05). Variable of smoking habit is the most dominant variable (OR = 12,542) which affect respiratory disorders. The exposure of NO2, SO2, TSP and PM10 in Palembang City bus drivers is considered risky to non-cancer health subjects, so control is needed. This control could be performed by lowering the level of inhalation intake (I) of the RfC and the first simulation model for exposure could start from the second year to the sixth year.
