Abstract

Work is important in daily lives. ASEAN countries, especially in Indonesia and Thailand, the two countries are facing the era of improving industrial. The more increasing industry, the higher the level of accidents and diseases that will burden to the workers. In Indonesia, small industry is the biggest industry with a frequency of 83.70%. Accidents and illnesses to workers is still relatively high, eight workers died every day. In Thailand, 62.6% from 39.3 millions of workers, working as an informal and mostly in the agriculture sector. The number of workers who suffered accidents and diseases is also high, 129.632 in 2011 workers injured at work and accident and 37.933 of them were severe. Furthermore, due to the higher number of accident and diseases related with work in these two countries, it must take a more optimal prevention in order to reduce those problems.

Abstract

Rubber is one of the important commodities in the world. Globally, workers are facing so many problems of hazards that produce by rubber process. In Indonesia, there are several data of occupational problems such as respiratory diseases, muscle and skeletal diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, diseases of the teeth and oral cavity, skin diseases and skin tissue. In Iranian rubber factory, Iran, workers had suffered from some kind of musculoskeletal symptoms. Stomach and liver cancers in workers are having in Shanghai tire factory. In addition, Germany has cancer problem of their workers who work in rubber factory. Most of the rubber process in the factory can cause some hazards of the workers. In unloading area and area that operator is taking the dirt manually, workers are facing ergonomic problems. The possible control is reduce weight of load, team lift the object with two or more workers and Use mechanical assist. Machine safeguarding is essential for protecting from Cutting process that can make workers amputation organs such as hands, and fingers. In bale process, the workers need to cut raw rubber into bale in bale cutting. Furthermore, workers are facing with amputation problem. To manage that, It must be designed as a standard which has interlocking guards to prevent access to the cutting area. When wrapped using plastic, workers use a heated iron and sticked in plastic so that it blends neatly. The risks are fingers can cut accidently and then the workers also get contamination from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The possible preventions are use an automatic plastic wrapping machine with palletized product sitting on a turntable and respirator. Another problem is contact dermatitis that has been reported frequently among rubber workers. The prevention for that problem is using Gloves. The aim of researcher is to provide the profile of occupational injuries and illnesses, potential hazards in rubber factory to prevent the workers.

Abstract

Background: A cluster of suspected shigellosis was reported from health center in Pemagatshel district to Royal Center for Disease Control on 14th May 2012. The investigation was done to determine the cause and risk factor for the outbreak so that appropriate control and prevention measures can be implemented.Methods: A descriptive study was used for the outbreak investigation. The food items and drinks served to boarding students were collected from the mess in-charge in order to assess their risk for the outbreak. The kitchen and its premises were inspected to study the likely contamination by rodents and other animals. The water and stool specimens were tested in the laboratory to identify all possible enteric pathogens.Results: 82 boarding students were affected with an overall attack rate of 28% (82/294). Diarrhea was the predominant symptom followed by abdominal pain and headache. The onset date of the cases varied between 11th and 18th May, 2012. Shigella species was isolated from stool specimens that showed resistant to amoxicillin, nalidixic acid, chloramphenicol and sulfamethoxazole. Water specimen collected from source, distribution reservoir and tap water at school were found grossly contaminated.Conclusion: The outbreak was caused by novel strain of Shigella species which was not detected earlier in Bhutan. The promotion and provision of boiled water will greatly reduce the incidence of shigellosis especially in boarding facility.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic that may complicate the active detection of Tuberculosis (TB) and increase the mortality rate. This pushes for more effective and efficient case finding to mitigate the possible growing number of TB mortality.Objective: The purpose of this research was to identify TB among workers and to analyze the correlation between human, environmental, behavioral, and economic factors with TB findings among workers during the COVID-19 period.Methods: This research employed a case-control method conducted from January to December 2020. In total, 120 employees were included in this research. The employees were divided into two groups, sixty workers were involved in the TB case group, and another sixty workers were in the control group. We reported TB patients from several Public Health Center (Puskesmas) in each regency of South Sumatera, Indonesia. Sputum testing was performed by the rapid molecular tests (GeneXpert) and Ziehl-Neelsen to confirm the diagnosis of TB infection. We performed a Chi-square analysis to analyze factors that can influence TB cases.Results: In comparison to the control group, we found the association of age, body mass index, occupation, and sun exposure to the incidence of active TB cases (p<0.05).Conclusion: Since statistically significant differences between the two groups have been identified, the incidence of TB in workers might be affected by age, occupation, BMI, and exposure to sunlight. Associated significant variables can be integrated into the TB control program for better case-finding practice to recognize concealed burdens of TB that are overlooked due to COVID-19. This research was funded by Sainteks Sriwijaya University 2020.

Abstract

COVID-19 cases in Indonesia are still quite high. However, community mobility continues to increase. If in a family there is a vulnerable and / or comorbid age group, it will certainly be increasingly threatened when a productive family member leaves the house but is negligent in implementing health protocols. People who live in market areas, of course, are in direct contact with high economic activities and of course also indicate high mobility. The purpose of this activity is to increase family awareness of COVID-19 transmission in vulnerable communities with comorbidities. The target audience for this community service activity is 31 people who live in the Jakabaring Main Market area of ​​Palembang City. This community service activity results in an increase in knowledge about the importance of health protocols that are carried out in a disciplined and correct manner. This health protocol is carried out in order to protect each other starting from the family and for the community, especially for vulnerable communities. Apart from home visiting activities, the construction of hand washing facilities will also be used by the surrounding community and at the same time become a symbol to remind that washing hands with soap in running water is not only an obligation of the health protocol for preventing COVID-19 but will also save many lives from various threats of other infectious diseases.
