Abstract

This study reviews the potential of organic substances (organic infusion) as an attractant for oviposition of gravid mosquito trap in surveillance and control of the mosquito mosquito-borne disease basedon literature indexed by Scopus and Web of Science (WOS), such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, MDPI, Springer, Wely, SiELO, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. A total of 1,804 scientificpapers were obtained, and only 12 articles met the inclusion criteria. All selected articles were quantitative studies (laboratory, semifield, and field studies). The results showed that the Ae. aegypti,Ae. albopictus and various species of Culex are attracted to organic infusion. The organic infusion is effective in attracting mosquitoes to lay eggs in traps, especially Aedes spp. It can be used assurveillance and the best solution in environmentally friendly disease vector control.

Abstract

The use of pesticides by spraying can cause health problems such as pesticide poisoning, respiratory system problems which can affect lung capacity and can cause death if help is not given immediately. This study aims to determine the factors that influence lung capacity disorders in pesticide-using vegetable farmers in Kanreapia Village, Gowa Regency, Indonesia. The type of research used is quantitative with an analytical approach and uses a cross sectional study design. The population in this study was 216 farmers so that the sample size in this study was 83 farmers. The instruments used in this research were questionnaires and spirometry. The results of this study show that there is a relationship between spraying method p-value 0.003 and lung capacity, while age p-value 0.484, working duration p-value 0.117, working period p-value 0.959 and use of personal protective equipment p-value 0.367 have an insignificant relationship with lung capacity. Working period is the variable that has the greatest influence on lung capacity. It is recommended that farmer group leaders directly monitor work in the field regarding pesticide spraying carried out by farmer group members which could endanger them due to the risk of exposure to pesticides.

Abstract

Work climate refers to the interaction of environmental factors in the workplace. Fatigue is a common occupational health issue and can be affected by multiple factors such as work climate, age, gender, length of employment, and daily working duration. This study aimed to examine the relationship between work climate and work fatigue among furniture workers in Hertasning, Indonesia. A quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in several furniture workshops in December 2023. The study involved 30 furniture workers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the questionnaire to assess subjective feelings of work fatigue and a Heat Stress Monitor to measure workplace climate conditions. The results showed a statistically significant relationship between work climate and work fatigue (p = 0.028; p < 0.05), indicating that workers exposed to unfavorable work climate conditions were more likely to experience fatigue. These findings suggest that work climate plays an important role in influencing workers’ fatigue levels. Therefore, it is recommended that furniture business owners improve workplace comfort by providing adequate rest areas with appropriate temperature control and installing cooling facilities, such as fans, to reduce heat exposure and prevent work-related fatigue.

Abstract

Stunting is a manifestation of chronic undernutrition that occurs during critical periods of growth and development, beginning in early life. Adolescents play an important role in stunting prevention, as they represent future parents whose knowledge and awareness can influence child health outcomes. This study aimed to improve adolescents’ knowledge regarding stunting, its causes, and preventive measures as an early strategy to reduce stunting prevalence. A quantitative study design was employed using a pre-test and post-test approach. Health education sessions were delivered to adolescents in Tanetea Hamlet and Lembang Loe Hamlet, with knowledge levels measured before and after the intervention using the same questionnaire. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in adolescents’ knowledge after the intervention (p = 0.016; p < 0.05), indicating a meaningful difference between pre- and post-education scores. These findings suggest that health education interventions are effective in increasing adolescents’ understanding of stunting. It is recommended that structured training programs on stunting prevention be continuously provided for adolescents. Additionally, strengthening adolescents’ communication skills may enable them to disseminate stunting-related information to peers, families, and the wider community, while regular evaluations should be conducted to assess knowledge improvement and behavioral change outcomes.
