Abstract

Rat are a reservoir for bubonic plague, as well as a host for ectoparasites of the flea type (Xenopsylla cheopis) as the main biological vector that contributes to the transmission of bubonic plague. Traditional markets are one of the places where rats can be found in quite high numbers. This study aims to determine the density of rats and the presence of fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis) in rats at the Gorontalo City Central Market. The type of research used in this research is descriptive quantitative. The samples were rats caught using mouse traps which were spread at 10 points for 3 days and fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis) that lived on rats. The data is presented using tables and then analyzed descriptively The results showed that the density of rats at the Gorontalo City Central Market was 60%, meaning that it was classified as high density (exceeding the Environmental Health Quality Standards according to Permenkes No. 50 of 2017, namely > 5%). The density of fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis) at the Gorontalo City Central Market is 0.116, meaning that it does not have the potential to transmit bubonic plague (under the Environmental Health Quality Standard according to Permenkes No.50 of 2017, namely <1). It is suggested to market managers be able to control the rat vector using physical control in the form of setting traps and chemical control in the form of administering rat poison, as well as improving the environment around the market to reduce the rat population.

Abstract

Manual Material Handling (MMH) is an activity that carries the risk of causing muscoskeletal problems in workers. The results of interviews with workers at Faninda Jaya Meubel, they do their work manually, so many experience musculoskeletal complaints due to improper work posture. The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between body posture and musculoskeletal complaints in Faninda Jaya Meubel workers. The methods used in this research are Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and Nordic Body Map (NBM). The population in this study was all workers who worked at Faninda Jaya Meubel totaling 23 workers and samples were taken using total sampling techniques. Data analysis used the Chi Square test. The research results found that as many as 43.48% of respondents had a body posture with a very high risk level and as many as 60.87% of respondents had MSDs complaints in the severe complaint category. The results of statistical tests using chi-square showed that there was a relationship between body posture and musculoskeletal complaints among Faninda Jaya Meubel workers (p=0.025). Suggestions for companies to provide facilities for workers such as ergonomic work equipment and machines for working so as to minimize occupational risks.

Abstract

The prevalence of anxiety disorders among university students is high, particularly during periods of high stress, such as when students are completing their final projects. This research aimed to investigate how self-confidence and anxiety levels relate among students working on their final projects at the Statistics Department at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. Research was conducted on 86 students aged 21-26 years old using an online questionnaire. Self-confidence, self-efficacy, and social support were independent variables, while anxiety levels (mild, moderate, and severe) were dependent variables. Self-confidence was found to be significantly correlated with anxiety levels, while self-efficacy and social support were not significantly correlated. The result of ordinal logistic regression analysis indicated that students with high self-confidence were 0.13 times more likely to experience mild or moderate anxiety compared to those with moderate self-confidence. Those with high levels of self-confidence, however, are more likely to suffer from severe anxiety (26%) than those with moderate levels of self-confidence (4%). In certain academic situations, high self-confidence may not be a hindrance against anxiety. A more comprehensive understanding of anxiety will require further research considering additional factors that contribute to anxiety, factors that were not considered in this study.
