Abstract

About a third of the food produced per year is thrown away and becomes food waste, affecting various fields on a global scale. According to Williams and Walton, food waste generated by hospitals is two to three times greater than in other service areas. If this food waste is processed and recycled, it will produce methane and CO2 emissions which will also worsen global warming. The purpose is to review the ethics of hospitals that contribute to food waste. This is a literature study that was carried out using the Pubmed and Google Scholar databases from 2014-2024 with the main keywords "food waste", "hospital", and "ethic", and obtained 17 journals in Indonesian and English. The results showed that vegetables were often the type of food left most in hospitals. Strategies to reduce food waste include attractive presentation, room service systems, and bioconversion innovations with BSF larvae. Indonesia itself has several policies to reduce food waste, but more focused management is still needed. It can be concluded that the main strategies for reducing food waste include improving food presentation, flexible services such as room service, bioconversion with BSF larvae, and recycling. More specific regulations for hospitals are needed in Indonesia

Abstract

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have been identified as predictors of the severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). Some factors like smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity, which are associated with NCDs, may potentially hinder the efficacy of vaccines, reducing their ability to prevent the severity and complications of infectious diseases such as the Covid-19. Objective: This study investigated the NCD, risk factors associated with the levels of quantitative antibodies after the second Covid-19 vaccination.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a Covid-19 vaccination centre in Jakarta. Ninety subjects, aged ≥18, completed demographic and NCDs risk factor questionnaires. Blood samples were collected and analysed by using the electro chemiluminescence immunoassay analyser (ECLIA) method to measure quantitative antibody levels 30 days after 2nd Covid-19 vaccination. The bivariate analysis was performed to explore associations among the variables. The logistic regression was subsequently performed to identify the factors that remained independent in influencing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody status. Results: The mean value of antibody level in this study was 191 U/ml. The results indicated that 35.5% (n=32) of respondents had SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels below average. The regression results suggested that the odds of having higher antibody levels were reduced for individuals with hypertension (Adjusted Odd Ratio [AOR] = 0.74, p value = 0.022), diabetes (AOR = 0.82, p value = 0.038) comorbidities accompanied with smoking (AOR = 0.55, p value = 0.044), drinking alcohol (AOR = 0.92, p value = 0.030), and low physical activity levels (AOR = 0.67, p value = 0.043). Conclusion: The study found that 35.5% of participants had SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels below the average. Factors such as hypertension, diabetes, comorbidities with smoking, alcohol consumption, and low physical activity were associated with reduced odds of higher antibody levels.
