Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the optimal concentration of chitosan for microplastic remediation using the coagulation-flocculation method. The chitosan concentrations employed in this study include 10, 20, 30, and 40 ppm. The process of coagulation was conducted for one minute, with a rotational speed of 120 rpm. The process of flocculation was performed for 30 minutes with a rotational speed of 60 rpm. The findings of the study indicate that chitosan demonstrates a high efficacy in microplastic removal, resulting in a removal rate of 68.3%. Furthermore, the research findings indicate that the optimal concentration of chitosan for microplastic remediation was determined to be 30 ppm. The concentration of chitosan has a direct impact on the pH, TDS, COD, and BOD values. In general, an increase in chitosan concentration leads to a drop in pH and TDS values; conversely, an increase in chitosan concentration results in a rise in COD and BOD values.

Abstract

The use of clean water around the world continues to increase along with the increase in population and is increasing when the whole world is hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, research is carried out to treat greywater waste effectively in a simple and inexpensive way. The method used in this study is a single method, namely filtration (a mixture of soil and sand, activated char- coal and gravel), Lepironia articulata and a combination of the two methods, namely constructed wetland subsurface vertical flow. The results of this study showed a decrease in BOD and COD levels reaching 97%, 88% phosphate, 18% pH and 95% MBAS in the constructed wetland. This is due to the synergistic interaction between plants, media and microorganisms in removing pollutants effectively. This research needs to be developed further and explore the capabilities of each constructed wetland element, especially the Lepironia articulata.

Abstract

Adolescents are prone to nutrition problems due to low nutrition literacy and unhealthy eating patterns. In Indonesia, the prevalence of chronic energy deficiency (CED), central obesity, and anemia in adolescents is still high, potentially increasing infectious diseases in adulthood. The literature review method was used in this study through a systematic search through BioMed, Googe Scholar, Pubmed, Science Direct, and SAGE databases. Articles that met the inclusion criteria and were published between 2020-2024 and were relevant to nutrition literacy, eating habits, and nutritional status of adolescents were further analyzed. Analysis of the 7 selected articles showed that good nutrition literacy was positively associated with healthier food choices. However, good nutrition literacy is not sufficient without a supportive environment and behavioral skills. Nutritional literacy and adolescent diets are influenced by factors such as socioeconomic status, maternal education, and access to health services. A comprehensive approach through school education, family roles, and policies that contribute to improving nutrition literacy in adolescents is needed. Preventing obesity and non-communicable diseases in the future is important by strengthening nutrition literacy. Prioritizing applicable skills such as healthy cooking, and reading food labels in support of sustainable behavior change is recommended for future interventions.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a profound global health challenge, contributing to an estimated 17.9 million deaths annually worldwide. In Indonesia, the burden of CVD is particularly significant, with coronary heart disease prevalence at 1.5% and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), including CVD, accounting for 73% of all fatalities. Community-based programs, such as Prolanis, have been implemented as key intervention strategies. This systematic review analyzes the effectiveness of these programs in reducing CVD risk factors among NCD patients in Indonesia, examining their impact within the complex environmental and socio-cultural context. The methodology involved collecting articles from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, applying keywords in PICO format, and filtering using the PRISMA flow diagram, ultimately including six articles for detailed analysis. Findings indicate that community-based programs generally contribute positively to controlling cardiovascular risk factors through health education and regular monitoring. However, effectiveness varies, influenced by intervention duration, participant adherence, and individual health conditions. This variability underscores the profound influence of broader environmental factors, including air and water quality, food environment, green space access, waste management, and noise pollution, all prevalent challenges in Indonesia. Furthermore, socio-cultural factors, such as traditional health beliefs, communal habits like gotong royong, and socioeconomic disparities, significantly mediate program acceptance and adherence. This analysis highlights the imperative for holistic, context-specific, and interdisciplinary approaches to CVD prevention in Indonesia, integrating public health interventions with environmental improvements and culturally sensitive strategies to enhance overall program effectiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

The ineffectiveness of hygiene and sanitation standards in the food industry, including the tofu industry in Indonesia, remains a significant issue. This condition increases the risk of Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination, which can negatively impact public health. This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of hygiene and sanitation practices in tofu businesses in Jomblang, Semarang City, and serve as a basis for improving food safety and hygiene standards. A descriptive quantitative approach was used, with data collected through interviews, observations, and laboratory tests. The analysis revealed that many hygiene aspects, such as equipment and raw material handling, did not meet the required standards, posing a risk of microbial contamination. Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of Escherichia coli in tofu soaking water samples, indicating potential health hazards for consumers. The implementation of hygiene and sanitation principles in food production must be optimized to improve product quality and prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Abstract

The oil palm plantation industry is currently expanding rapidly, making Indonesia the world's largest producer, followed by Malaysia and Thailand, which are also major producers. However, one negative consequence is the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among oil palm farmers. A large portion of this problem is caused by the extremely heavy physical workload and non-ergonomic postures adopted during work. A systematic search was conducted using databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar. Articles meeting the inclusion criteria were published between 2020 and 2025, and were relevant to musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) complaints, disorders in oil palm farmers, and non-ergonomic work postures, which were then further analyzed. An analysis of 9 selected articles showed that the most common musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) complaints occurred in the neck, shoulders, wrists, lower back, feet, and knees. These complaints stem from manual harvesting activities, such as cutting fronds and fresh fruit bunches (FFB) using egrek and dodos tools, as well as transporting the fruit during harvest. Identified risk factors include awkward postures, repetitive movements, long working hours, heavy physical loads, age, and years of service. The manual harvesting tools force farmers to work at extreme joint angles, leading to muscle fatigue and injury. Although efforts to modify manual harvesting tools into mechanical ones can reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), their success is highly dependent on ergonomic design and the farmers' readiness to adopt them. The use of advanced sensor technologies such as Electromyography (EMG) and Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) has proven effective in measuring muscle activity and risky postures, offering a solution for preventing musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) complaints. Therefore, the main recommendations include coordinating with the industry to design more ergonomic harvesting tools, implementing regular training on safe harvesting techniques, and conducting early health monitoring for workers.
