Abstract

Communication is a way for humans to interact with other living things. Communication is used to convey information, messages, and news. Usually tomato farmers communicate with each other in coffee shops at night after returning from working in the garden. So far, communication between tomato farmers has been quite good, but tomato farmers only discuss plants, the economy, harvests and pesticides. No tomato farmers communicate about health news. Thus, this study aims to increase tomato farmers' awareness of the importance of health that starts from themselves. This study uses TANNITO (Tomato Farmers' Recommendation Response) as a message to be conveyed to tomato farmers in Semangat Village, Merdeka District, Karo Regency. TANNITO is five health messages that can help tomato farmers to be aware of the dangers of pesticide exposure when working in tomato gardens. The study was conducted on 40 tomato farmers in Semangat Village, Merdeka District by looking descriptively at the influence of age on tomato farmers' understanding of the health messages conveyed in TANNITO.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, including in Medan City. Malnutrition among TB patients worsens prognosis and delays recovery. Nutrition-based interventions such as Food Baskets combined with environmental health education are expected to improve nutritional status while preventing TB transmission at the household level. This study applied a quasi-experimental design with a pre-post test control group. A total of 30 pulmonary TB patients were enrolled and divided into an intervention group (n=15; received Food Baskets + environmental health education) and a control group (n=15; standard care). Data collected included body weight, energy intake, protein intake, hemoglobin, albumin, knowledge score, and environmental health behavior score. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests, with significance set at p < 0.05. The intervention group showed a significant increase in body weight (+2.6 ± 0.9 kg) compared to the control group (+1.0 ± 0.8 kg, p < 0.001). Energy intake increased by +370 kcal/day in the intervention group versus +110 kcal/day in the control (p < 0.001). Protein intake increased by +15 g/day in the intervention group versus +4 g/day in the control (p < 0.001). Knowledge scores improved from 58 to 82, while environmental health behavior scores increased from 60 to 83 (p < 0.001). Food Baskets combined with environmental health education are proven effective in improving nutritional status, knowledge, and health behavior of pulmonary TB patients. This intervention can serve as an additional strategy in community-based TB control programs.

Abstract

Liquid waste from tofu industries contains high levels of organic matter, as indicated by COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) values that exceed environmental quality standards. This can lead to water pollution and harm aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) in reducing COD and BOD levels in tofu industry wastewater through the phytoremediation method. The research was conducted using a post-test only experimental design. The Treatments were applied by placing 500 grams of water lettuce into the wastewater for durations of 3, 6, and 9 days. The results showed that COD levels decreased from 784 mg/L to 132 mg/L on the 9th day (a reduction of 83.16%), and BOD levels decreased from 272 mg/L to 41 mg/L (a reduction of 84.92%). The findings indicate that water lettuce is effective in lowering COD and BOD levels, and the duration of exposure significantly affects the level of effectiveness. Phytoremediation using water lettuce can be a simple, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective alternative for treating liquid waste, especially in small-scale or household tofu industries.

Abstract

Tomato cultivation is an intensive agricultural activity that demands high physical exertion and exposes workers to considerable ergonomic and environmental risks. Most cultivation processes including planting, maintenance, and harvesting are still performed manually, often involving prolonged bending, squatting, and static standing postures. These conditions substantially increase the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This literature review aims to integrate recent findings on the interrelationships among working posture, physiological workload, and environmental factors affecting the health and productivity of tomato farmers. The synthesis revealed a high prevalence of MSDs among agricultural workers, particularly affecting the lower back, neck, and shoulders, primarily due to repetitive and static working postures (Widyanti, 2018; Akbar et al., 2023). Physiological workload studies demonstrated that workers in greenhouse environments experienced elevated body temperatures and fatigue correlated with work intensity and ambient heat (Silalahi et al., 2017; Jung & Kim, 2022). Environmental stressors especially heat and humidity further exacerbate these conditions, leading to heat stress that compromises physical performance and health (FAO, 2018; El Khayat et al., 2022). Furthermore, improper postures during manual harvesting negatively affect both worker well-being and tomato fruit quality, whereas ergonomic practices enhance both efficiency and yield quality (Kuta et al., 2023). Recommended interventions include improved tool and workplace design, task rotation, adequate ventilation and shaded rest areas, and training on ergonomic harvesting techniques (FAO, 2018; Ahamed et al., 2023). The review also highlights research gaps, notably the lack of longitudinal studies and intervention evaluations within smallholder tropical farming contexts. Future research should adopt mixed-method approaches combining physiological, postural, and environmental assessments to develop sustainable, safe, and efficient agricultural work systems.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) in children remains a significant public health issue, particularly in the context of household transmission. This study aimed to analyze the time-to-event of TB incidence among children and to identify environmental and family behavioral factors influencing its occurrence in Medan Tuntungan District, Medan City, in 2025. This study employed an analytical observational design with a retrospective cohort approach and survival analysis. A total of 40 children aged 6–10 years were selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods, Log-Rank tests, and Cox proportional hazards regression. The results showed that the median time to TB incidence was 8 months. Significant factors associated with TB incidence in children included exposure to cigarette smoke (HR=3.12; p<0.05), poor household ventilation (HR=2.78; p<0.05), household crowding (HR=2.15; p<0.05), and inadequate family preventive behavior (HR=2.40; p<0.05). In conclusion, environmental and family behavioral factors play a crucial role in determining the timing of TB incidence in children. Survival analysis provides a more comprehensive understanding of risk periods and determinants. TB prevention strategies should focus on improving household environmental conditions and family health behaviors.

Abstract

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has significantly transformed workplace ergonomics through the integration of advanced technologies such as wearable sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), exoskeletons, and markerless motion capture systems. This literature review aims to examine recent innovations in ergonomic technologies that enhance work efficiency while safeguarding workers’ health and safety. Findings from studies published between 2023 and 2025 indicate that these technologies substantially reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, improve productivity, and enable real-time monitoring of workers’ physical conditions. Wearable sensors and AI-based systems play a crucial role in detecting hazardous postures and providing corrective feedback, whereas exoskeletons effectively reduce biomechanical strain during physically demanding tasks. Despite these promising outcomes, several challenges remain. The adoption of ergonomic technologies is often hindered by limited technical validation, inadequate user training, and ethical issues concerning worker data privacy. Moreover, user acceptance is influenced by factors such as comfort, trust, and perceived usefulness of the technology. Emerging debates also highlight potential risks of workplace discrimination associated with data-driven systems. Consequently, a human-centered design approach is essential to ensure that ergonomic innovations prioritize human well-being rather than solely focusing on operational efficiency. This study concludes that the success of ergonomic technologies in the Industry 4.0 era should be evaluated not only by their contribution to productivity but also by their ability to promote long-term occupational health, safety, and overall worker well-being.
