Abstract

Pantai Labu sub-district is one of the sub-districts located on the coast but has a high number of stunting cases, stunting cases in Paluh Sibaji village are 5 toddlers. Health problems in Paluh Sibaji village have stunting cases that are very concerning even though it has marine potential with protein sources from fish. The village has a variety of abundant fisheries and marine resources. Local food diversity has the potential to be utilised as a source of cheap and easily available nutrition. The village has an abundant variety of fisheries and marine resources. The existence of tamban fish as a local food product has a low selling price and is underutilised as a source of animal protein. This community service aims to utilise local food ingredients as a source of protein for the community. The methods used are atmosphere building, socialisation, community empowerment and the formation of family groups concerned about stunting. This community service activity produced two local food innovations, namely characterised spinach tamban fish balls and moringa leaf tamban fish sticks. Both products are processed from cheap and easily available local raw materials in the village, namely tamban fish and moringa leaves.

Abstract

Introduction: Inadequate livestock pen sanitation has been demonstrated to increase fly populations in the surrounding environment, thereby elevating the risk of diarrhea transmission among communities living in proximity to the pens. Additionally, wells constructed without adherence to proper construction standards have been associated with an elevated risk of water contamination, which, in turn, can lead to an increased incidence of diarrhea. The objective of this study is to ascertain the correlation between livestock pen sanitation, fly density, and well conditions with diarrhea incidence in the community of Aek Banir Village, Panyabungan Sub-District. Method: A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was utilized, involving 40 livestock owners as the sample, selected through total sampling. The collection of data was executed through the utilization of observation sheets, questionnaires, and fly grills. The analysis of the data was conducted using the chi-square test and Fisher's Exact Test. Results: The results indicated that 60.0% of livestock pens did not meet sanitation standards, 52.5% exhibited high fly density, 50.0% of wells were in poor condition, and 55.0% of livestock owners had experienced diarrhea. The chi-square test with Fisher's Exact Test indicated a significant relationship between livestock pen sanitation, fly density, and well conditions with the incidence of diarrhea. Conclusion: The present study posits that there is a relationship between livestock pen sanitation, fly density, and well conditions with diarrhea incidence in the community of Aek Banir Village, Panyabungan Subdistrict.

Abstract

Background: Air pollution is currently dominated by the transportation sector, which is the second-largest contributor after the energy sector in Indonesia. Its impacts not only damage the environment but also pose serious health risks. As an educated group, students need to take mitigation actions. This study aims to analyze the correlation between environmental knowledge and climate change mitigation efforts in the transportation sector among students of the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Sumatera Utara. Method: This research used an analytical survey design. The population consisted of 1,403 undergraduate students from the 2021–2024 cohorts, with a sample of 93 respondents determined using the Slovin formula and selected through accidental sampling. The inclusion criteria were students who owned private transportation. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods. Results: Most respondents were female (87.1%) and aged 20–22 years (68.8%), with monthly allowances ranging from Rp500,000 to Rp5,000,000. Motorcycles were the most common mode of transport (83.9%), used 5–6 days per week (71%), with 73.1% using Pertalite fuel. The average weekly travel distance was 78.494 km, with fuel consumption of 7.819 liters and a cost of Rp105,903.23. The mean annual CO₂ emission was 0.74784 tons, ranging from 0.038 to 2.89 tons. Students demonstrated good knowledge (87.1%) and attitudes (89.2%), but mitigation actions remained low (57%). Conclusion: Public Health students at Universitas Sumatera Utara possess good knowledge and attitudes toward climate change mitigation, yet their practical actions remain limited, such as not turning off vehicle engines when idling.

Abstract

Agricultural land around the Medan Industrial Estate (KIM) 3 is currently facing a serious threat from cadmium (Cd) contamination, which impacts food security. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Saccharomyces cerevisiae-fermented rice bran in suppressing the availability and accumulation of Cd in rice plants grown on Cd-contaminated soil. The treatments tested were P0 (control), P1 (100 g S. cerevisiae), P2 (125 g S. cerevisiae), and P3 (150 g S. cerevisiae), with each treatment mixed with 300 g rice bran and applied to 100 m2 of land cultivated with rice plants. The results showed that P3 was the most effective treatment for reducing Cd concentration in rice grain from 0.2 ppm to 0.010 ppm, below the Indonesian Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) threshold. The P3 treatment also significantly improved pH and the availability of N, P, and K nutrients of the soil, leading to better plant growth and grain yield. An effective immobilization mechanism that inhibits the translocation of metals into plant tissues makes this innovation a practical, economical, and applicable solution for farmers to restore land function while ensuring food security.

Abstract

Indonesia ranks 80th in the world’s happiness index, lagging behind neighboring countries such as Singapore (30th), Malaysia (59th), and Thailand (58th). The happiness index consists of three dimensions: life satisfaction (education, work, and home facilities), feelings (happiness, anxiety, and depression), and meaningfulness of life (independence, environmental mastery, and self-acceptance). In 2021, North Maluku was the happiest province while North Sumatra had the lowest happiness index, nationally ranking seventh lowest and being one of the provinces with poor incomes, education, and housing facilities experienced by fishermen in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the Life Satisfaction Level among fishermen. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with 107 samples taken based on the Slovin formula from the population of 700 people. The data was obtained by using a questionnaire that had been tested for the validity and reliability. A univariate data analysis was performed by using SPSS version 25. The results showed that 47.66% respondents were >45 years old, 43.93% completed junior high school, 7.67% had 5-10 years of work experience, and 57.94% smoked. While 52.34% perceived their quality of life as not good, 85.98% felt not secure about old age, 77.57% felt their jobs did not meet financial needs, 82.24% reported their finance was not good enough, 60.75% felt their health quality was not good, and 74.77% found their living conditions were inadequate. Moreover, 64.49% considered that their sleep quality was not good, 77.57% had bad social relationships, and 64.49% struggled to manage negative emotions. Only 47.67% of the fishermen considered that their quality of life was good. Most of these traditional fishermen had low levels of life satisfaction. Therefore, improving welfare through expansion of economic opportunities, access to health services, and community-based social support is needed to enhance the quality of life and resilience of the fishermen. Keywords: Fishermen, Life, Satisfaction, Traditional , Worker.

Abstract

Residents of Paropo I Village face serious challenges accessing clean water due to Lake Toba's declining quality and reduced mountain spring flow, especially during the rainy season. KJA (Keramba Jaring Apung) workers often use untreated lake water for hygiene, increasing dermatitis cases. A community service program was developed to address this issue, supporting SDGs 3 and 6 by promoting environmental stewardship and appropriate clean water technologies. Previous research identified underutilization of clean water facilities (CWF) due to low public awareness and poor maintenance. The program fosters behavior change and public health improvement through community engagement, educational videos, and mentoring KJA workers on hygiene practices. It also strengthens local capacity via the PANRAIR (Pantau dan Rawat Air Bersih) initiative, empowering KJA owners to lead sustainable CWF management. Expected outcomes include better sanitation knowledge, improved hygiene, and stronger governance. Outputs include media coverage, educational content, and increased community participation. Partners contribute by offering meeting spaces and mobilizing support for CWF revitalization

Abstract

Urban functional areas are currently facing waste and environmental problems due to increasing social and economic activities, urbanisation rates, and urban population growth. One effort to reduce household waste volume is the utilization of a waste bank. This research aims to analyze the relationship between waste bank utilization behaviour and the volume of domestic waste at the household level in Aur Village, Medan Maimun Sub-district in 2024. This type of research is an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The sample in this study amounted to 40 people using the total sampling technique. Data analysis method in 2 stages: univariate analysis with frequency counts and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test and Spearman's correlation, with a significance level of α = 5% (0.05). The results showed that there was a significant relationship between housewives' knowledge (p = 0.003) and housewives' attitude (p = 0.02) with the behaviour of using the waste bank. There was no significant relationship with a positive pattern between the utilization of waste bank and domestic waste volume (r = 0.069) and (p = 0.673). This research provides the government with information on the use of waste banks to improve the program's effectiveness in reducing waste in the community. Furthermore, Non-Governmental Organizations can continue to provide education to improve customers' knowledge and attitudes, particularly in the area of waste management.
