Abstract

Backrgound: Air pollution is a major issue in developing countries, with PM10 concentrations serving as a crucial parameter for determining air quality. PM10, which originates from the transportation, industrial, and domestic sectors, significantly contributes to air pollution. Street vendors, operating along roadsides or sidewalks near vehicle pollution sources, are at high risk of exposure to air pollutants if they remain in these environments for extended periods. Objective: This study aims to analyze the concentration of Particulate Matter (PM10), the activity patterns of street vendors, and the health risk levels (Risk Quotient, RQ) in the study area. Methods: This study employed a descriptive observational method and an Environmental Health Risk Analysis approach. Air quality measurements were conducted over two days at four measurement stations, with three measurements each day (morning, noon, and afternoon). Respondent data were collected using purposive random sampling with questionnaires. Results: The PM10 concentration measurements, adjusted to a 24-hour measurement period, revealed that Station 1 recorded 75.08 µg/m³, Station 2 recorded 73.33 µg/m³, Station 3 recorded 69.34 µg/m³, and Station 4 recorded 77.27 µg/m³. RQ analysis indicated that all 48 street vendors had RQ values ≥ 1, indicating health risks due to PM10 exposure. Risk management revealed that the safe concentration level was 0.0051 µg/m³. Exposure management at Station 4 was achieved by adjusting exposure time to 8.4 hours per day, exposure frequency to 228 days per year, and exposure duration to 5.5 years. Conclusion: The PM10 concentrations at several street vendor locations exceeded the established air quality standards. The highest exposure was found at one location, with significant health risks indicated by high RQ values. Managing exposure by regulating time, frequency, and duration of exposure was proven effective in achieving safe concentration levels.

Abstract

Background: AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is a severe viral infection caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). Patients with HIV/AIDS require antiretroviral therapy to reduce viral load, prevent the spread of the virus, and maintain their quality of life. Adherence to antiretroviral treatment is crucial for achieving virological and therapeutic success and for preventing drug resistance. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing adherence to antiretroviral medication among HIV/AIDS patients at the Kendari City Regional General Hospital. Methods: This quantitative study included 73 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression statistical tests. Results: The study found that both awareness of HIV/AIDS and family support significantly affected adherence to antiretroviral therapy, with a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conversely, the side effects of antiretrovirals did not significantly impact adherence, with a significance value of p = 0.095 (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Awareness of HIV/AIDS patients is the most significant factor influencing adherence to antiretroviral treatment among HIV/AIDS patients at Kendari City Hospital. Keywords: HIV/AIDS awareness; family support; antiretroviral side effects; patient adherence

Abstract

Background: A fly trap is a physical-mechanical method for controlling adult flies, designed to manage fly populations in areas with high fly density. Factors such as food sources, humid environmental conditions, inadequate sanitation, and substandard waste management are suspected to contribute to elevated fly populations in poultry slaughterhouses Objective: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of different bait types and trap colors in capturing flies. Method: A pure experimental design with a 3x3 factorial arrangement was employed, involving two factors: bait type and trap color. A cube-shaped fly trap, measuring 30 cm x 30 cm, was utilized. The bait types tested included chicken offal, fish offal, and shrimp, while the trap colors tested were yellow, green, and red. Data were analyzed using factorial ANOVA with SPSS software. Results: The fly trap with chicken offal bait captured 288 flies, compared to 190 flies with fish offal and 124 flies with shrimp. Among the trap colors, yellow captured 229 flies, green captured 270 flies, and red captured 103 flies. Statistical analysis revealed that bait type had a significant effect on the number of flies trapped (p = 0.032 < 0.05), as did trap color (p = 0.021 < 0.05). However, the interaction between bait type and trap color did not significantly affect the number of flies trapped (p = 0.995 > 0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that fly traps using chicken offal bait and those colored green were most effective in capturing flies. Both bait type and trap color significantly influenced the number of flies trapped, while their combination did not have a significant impact. Keywords: bait, color, fly trap, flies, poultry slaughterhouse
