Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze activities related to using plastic waste in ecobricks for elderly school students. Methods: This type of research is qualitative and has a case study design. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. The data analysis used is thematic research. Results: The description of implementing plastic waste into eco-bricks, as well as the preparation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation stages. The results of this eco-brick-making activity are assessed from the quantity, three or four eco-bricks a month; the quality results are the weight of the eco-bricks according to the standard, and they are made in the form of tables, chairs, and decorations, so that they are more valuable. Environmental changes have occurred since the existence of eco-bricks; no plastic waste is thrown carelessly, and no plastic waste is burned. Conclusions: Elderly school students have carried out eco-bricks-making activities so that they impact environmental health for the better.

Abstract

Background: The fluoride, CaCO3, and pH levels in clean well water are chemical requirements that must be considered to ensure water quality. In terms of dental and oral health, fluoride, CaCO3, and pH in clean well water can increase the risk of dental calculus. Dental calculus contributes to the prevalence of periodontal diseases due to bacteria and plaque. Objective: This study aims to determine, analyze, and explain the correlation between the levels of fluoride, CaCO3, and pH in clean, well water that is consumed among the people of Wukirsari Ward, Imogiri Subdistrict, Bantul Regency, the Special Region of Yogyakarta with the calculus index. Methods: This is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The subjects were 169 individuals aged between 20 and 44 years who consumed well water. Primary data were obtained directly from interviews, assessments of the calculus index, and measurements of the chemical parameters of water quality. Meanwhile, secondary data were obtained from Imogiri 1 Community Health Center. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses with multiple linear regression. Results: Results showed significant variations in moderate fluoride levels, hard CaCO3, and alkaline pH. The predominant correlation was found between low fluoride levels, high CaCO3 levels in clean well water, and age with the calculus severity index. Conclusion: CaCO3 levels in clean well water were the most strongly correlated variable and stood out as a key factor. A potential solution includes increasing fluoride levels by drinking water fluoridation and reducing CaCO3 levels by boiling water. Education about water quality and dental hygiene is key to reducing the prevalence of periodontal diseases and improving public health.

Abstract

Purpose: The 2018 healthcare waste management crisis catalyzed a critical review of the concerns expressed by the Health Office (dinkes) and healthcare facilities regarding healthcare waste management in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). Due to this crisis, the Ministry of Health hired Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) to look into potential solutions and promote DIY government policy responses. This paper examines the management strategy during crisis times and possible alternative solutions. Methods: This paper uses focused group discussions reports involving separate groups of (1) environmental health officials from community health centers, (2) hospitals, (3) environment health officials of district health authorities, and (4) cross-sectoral province officials in the Yogyakarta Special Region. It is part of a project 'A case study of strengthening regional-based medical waste management model', fund from the Environmental Health Directorate, Directorate General of Public Health, Ministry of Health (Project KN 01.03/6.1/0198/2019). Result: A simulation of policy options based on health facility managers suggests that a province-based system is the most profitable in the long term for DIY, with several possible options. The national policy roadmap was considered inadequate to respond to DIY's urgent local needs. Furthermore, the series of meetings succeeded in forming an informal forum between health facilities, provincial health offices, and associations of hospital environmental sanitation experts, monitoring medical waste management. Conclusion: The 2018 medical waste management crisis led to the formulation of policy response choices tailored to the capacity of DIY. These choices considered the expenditures and legal sanctions faced by healthcare facilities and the economic value of a region-based waste system for local government authorities. This comprehensive approach highlights the importance of local capacity. It needs to shape effective and sustainable medical waste management policies, underscoring the necessity of region-specific strategies in the face of national health crises.
