Abstract

Green building practice has been gaining its popularity nowadays due to its significant benefits in protecting environment from threat caused by construction activities. It appears that there is a poor perception among construction players about green building in Indonesia. The students also play an important role in the development of construction especially green building in the future. This study aims to analyze the students’ perceptions of civil engineering and architecture students of University of Sriwijaya towards green building practices. The questionnaires were used for data collection which covered the basic understandings, criteria, benefits, and challenges of green building. There were about 240 respondents consisting of 153 from civil engineering and 87 respondents from architecture. The validity and reliability tests were conducted. The results showed that there is a positive impact on the perceptions among students towards green building adoption. Based on the analysis, the major benefit perceived by students was to reduce construction waste with a mean value of 4.67. Therefore, the reduction of construction waste will minimize the environmental damage and conserve natural resources. It was also found that the lack of knowledge from project team members about green building became the most significant challenge towards green building practices based on students’ perception. This study could offer valuable information related to benefits and challenges towards green building implementation among university students so that university could improve teaching materials and methods by applying the current issues in the construction sector.

Abstract

The pandemic of COVID-19 gave a great impact on college students learning activity, especially medical students. Thus, they may become vulnerable to have psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, and stress. The study aimed to investigate anxiety, depression, and stress rates among medical students during the pandemic of COVID-19 and the affecting factors. This cross-sectional study used DASS questionnaire online survey. 312 medical students, a total sampling in Muhammadiyah Palembang University participated in this study. The univariate analysis was used to determine the level of psychological problems while the bivariate analysis was carried out to determine the affecting factors. The study findings showed that 50.6% of the students reportedly had anxiety (12.2 % mild, 17.3% moderate, 10.9% severe, 10.3% very severe), 33% of the students had depression (13.5% mild, 11.9% moderate, 3.8% severe, 3.8% very severe), and 22.4% of the students had stress (10.6% mild, 9.3% moderate, 5.1% severe, 1.3% very severe). There were no differences between gender for anxiety, depression and stress (p=0.335, p=0.261, p=0.134 respectively). Junior students were more anxious than senior students (p=0.015). More than half of medical students experienced anxiety with moderate anxiety mostly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and junior students were more likely to suffer anxiety.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of combination of motor vehicle particular matter exposure and high-fat diet in kidney histopathology, creatinine levels, and MDA levels in Wistar rats. This study used a posttest-only control group design. Eighteen healthy male Wistar rats were divided into three groups. The intervention groups received motor vehicle fume exposure for 100 s with normal diet (X1) or high-fat diet (X2), and the control group received no exposure (C). Data analysis was processed with a SPSS 25.0 computer program by using the one-way ANOVA test followed by post hoc LSD. The degree of kidney histopathological damage showed significant differences between the X1 and X2 groups when compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The results of the creatinine level examination found a significant difference between the X2 and C groups (p < 0.05) and the treatment groups X1 and X2 (p < 0.05). The results of kidney MDA level examination showed a significant difference between the treatment groups (X1 and X2) and the control group (p < 0.05). The combination of particular matter of motor vehicle fumes exposure and high-fat diet could induce kidney damage through histopathological change and increased creatinine levels and kidney MDA levels in Wistar rats.

Abstract

The study was conducted to assess the air quality of Can Tho city. Data including meteorological factors (wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity) and air pollutants (TSP, SO2, NO2 and noise) of air quality were collected from the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Can Tho city at 15 monitoring locations (KK01-KK15) in 2020. The air quality parameters were compared with QCVN 26:2010/BTNMT for noise and QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT for ambient air quality. The results wind speeds ranged from 0.28±0.26 to 0.83±0.59 m/s, temperature from 30.13±2.12 to 31.70±2.48 oC, and humidity from 64.16±9.13 to 78.95±3.88%. TSP, SO2, NO2 and noise were 171.99±44.86-265.81±18.75 µg/m3, 15.01±2.14-45.23±5.39 µg/m3, 11.78±1.87-37.64±5.02 µg/m3, 68.73±2.48-79.54±1.95 dBA, respectively. In general, air quality parameters were still within the allowable limits, except for noise. All air quality variables in the dry season were higher than those in the wet season except for humidity and wind speed. The air quality in Can Tho city is affected by emissions from vehicles and factories in which intersection locations, major traffic routes and industrial production areas often have higher concentrations of pollutants and noise. Spatial and temporal Cluster analysis showed that air quality in Can Tho city was spatially and seasonally changed. Air monitoring should also focus on toxic air pollutants in future monitoring. The current results provide a scientific basis for future air quality management.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate groundwater quality in Bac Lieu province, Vietnam using multivariate statistical methods and groundwater quality indices (GWQI). Eleven groundwater quality parameters including pH, chloride (Cl?), total dissolved solids (TDS), nitrate (N-NO?3), ammonium (N-NH+4), sulfate (SO2?4), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), Arsenic (As), hardness and coliforms were collected at seven monitoring sites in May 2020. These parameters were compared with the national technical regulation on groundwater quality (QCVN 09-MT:2015/BTNMT). Cluster analysis (CA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to elaborate on the groundwater quality variation and pollution sources. The results indicated that groundwater in the study area was polluted by N-NH+4 while other parameters were within the national regulatory limits. The high concentration of N-NH+4 could be attributed to intensive agricultural practices, especially fertilizer usage. CA resultsdivided the monitoring sites into three clusters by the parameters of pH, N-NO?3, Cl?, TDS, SO2?4, Fe, Mn, and hardness. The results of PCA revealed that the groundwater quality variation could be caused by four potential sources. The main parameters that influenced groundwater quality were pH, Cl?, TDS, N-NO?3, N-NH+4, Fe, and Mn. The GWQI values were in the range of 2.0-12.6, which means that groundwater quality at all studied sites is of excellent quality. Preventive measures should be strictly implemented to avoid groundwater pollution since this water source is more pivotal under the effects of surface water pollution and climate change.

Abstract

Although industries had taken measures to control environmental pollution, quality, and occupational health and safety, they did not receive comparable benefit, particularly in terms of corporate sustainability. The objective of this study is to examine the impacts of environmental pollution control, quality control, and occupational health and safety control on corporate sustainability through a comprehensive review on past conceptual and empirical researches. As environmental pollution control is the outcome of environmental management system that reduces waste and consumption of water and energy and increases the amount of recycled waste, quality control as the result of quality management systems enhances manufacturing process, product and service quality, customer loyalty, sales and profits, and continuous improvements, while occupational health and safety control improves employees’ competence, health, and safety at work as well as customer’s wellbeing for better competitiveness. The control over the three aforementioned aspects enhances corporate sustainability. The result of this study is a conceptual model for environmental pollution, quality, and occupational health and safety controls that support sustainability in manufacturing industry.

Abstract

Rainwater harvesting technology is needed today. The development fast that occurs has the impact of increasing the use ground water. Rainwater harvesting technology is the main solution in this case. Apart from being a water source, it can also restore the groundwater level to its original condition. Rainwater harvesting technology currently still needs a lot of development in order to produce better rainwater quality. For this reason, in this study modifications will be made to the initial filter to separate the initial sediment from pure rainwater when it rains. The centrifugal system in this case will be used to take part in separating sediment from rainwater. Centrifugal filtration systems are made using several tools and easily available materials. Based on the results of this study, it is known that the level of TDS reduction from before the use of centrifugal filters to after use is 62.2%. This decrease can be seen from the TDS value before the use of an average of 12.2, while after the use centrifugal filter the average TDS is 4.6.
