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

Kelelahan mata merupakan suatu kondisi di mana otot-otot mata dipaksa untuk bekerja berlebih, khususnya saat digunakan untuk melihat objek pada jarak dekat dalam durasi waktu yang cukup lama. Gangguan penglihatan, khususnya kelelahan mata, dapat terjadi karena penggunaan komputer. Berdasarkan data dari Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), dilaporkan bahwa sekitar 80% dari 40 juta pengguna komputer mengalami kelelahan mata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kelelahan mata pada karyawan Perusahaan Telekomunikasi di Sumatera Utara. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi dan sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh karyawan pengguna komputer di PLN Icon Plus SBU Regional Sumatera Utara yang berjumlah 51 orang. Pengumpulan data diambil melalui kuesioner VFI, meteran saku, dan lux meter yang kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji Korelasi Pearson. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 36 karyawan (70,6%) mengalami kelelahan mata dan 15 karyawan (29,4%) tidak mengalami kelelahan mata. Keluhan kelelahan mata yang selalu dirasakan oleh karyawan adalah mata terasa berat, penglihatan terasa kabur, penglihatan terasa ganda atau berbayang, mengantuk, sering mengucek mata, dan sakit kepala. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara durasi penggunaan komputer (p value = 0,000), jarak pandang komputer (p value = 0,001), dan tingkat pencahayaan (p value = 0,004) dengan kelelahan mata. Disarankan agar karyawan melakukan istirahat mata dengan metode 20-20-20, mengatur jarak pandang mata dengan monitor minimal 50 cm, instansi diharapkan dapat menerapkan pencahayaan yang sesuai dengan standar, mengadakan program pemeriksaan mata secara rutin, dan memasang antiradiasi pada layar monitor untuk meminimalisir risiko terjadinya kelelahan mata.

Abstract

Background: Gizi status is a measure of the balance between gizi asupan and bodily needs. Negative gizi status in infants, whether it be kelebihan or kekurangan, can increase the risk of PTM and reproductive health problems. The rising prevalence of obesity among Indonesian women indicates changes in eating habits and lifestyle, including in rural areas. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to understand the gizi status of the people in Desa Kranggan, Kabupaten Sampang. Methods: The study, which was conducted in July 2025, used a quantitative deskriptif design with cross-sectional data. The study's population consists of all 19–49-year-olds living in Desa Kranggan, with a sample size of at least 25 respondents using total sampling. The gizi status is determined using the Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT), which is classified according to the Kementerian Kesehatan RI (2020) standard. Results: According to the study's findings, the majority of respondents had a higher gizi status, with 56.0% being overweight, 28.0% being obese, and 16.0% being normal. This indicates that the gizi's problems in Desa Kranggan are gradually the obesity. One contributing factor is the consumption of foods high in energy and fat, the level of physical activity, and the level of nutrition knowledge. Conclusions: The issue of nutrition has shifted from undernutrition to overnutrition, particularly in rural areas, leading to confusion and frustration among mothers. Interventions focused on nutrition education and promotion of physical activity are needed to prevent the rise in obesity and related diseases.

Abstract

Breakfast is an important habit to support learning concentration, energy fulfillment, and prevent nutritional disorders in elementary school children. However, most children still skip breakfast due to a lack of knowledge and awareness about the importance of a healthy breakfast. This study aims to determine the effect of health education on increasing knowledge about the importance of breakfast among elementary school students in Medan Sunggal District, Medan City. This study used a pre-experimental one group pretest–posttest design. Data collection was conducted through interviews using a structured questionnaire that measured the level of student knowledge before and after being given health education. Education was carried out through an interactive lecture method with video media about balanced nutrition. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test at a 95% confidence level. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge scores after health education (p < 0.000). This indicates that health education has an effect on increasing student knowledge about the importance of breakfast. It is hoped that schools and parents will collaborate continuously through educational activities about nutrition and health as an effort to prevent nutritional problems in elementary school students who are the next generation of the nation

Abstract

English proficiency is an essential skill for public health students to meet global demands, particularly in health promotion, which requires cross-cultural communication and understanding of international literature. English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is considered a relevant learning method because it aligns instructional materials with students’ academic and professional needs. Through this approach, students can improve their English competence specific to the health field, thereby enhancing job readiness and health promotion competence. This study employed a quantitative survey approach to analyze the effect of ESP on public health students’ job readiness and knowledge in health promotion. The sample consisted of 50 students selected using a purposive sampling technique who had previously taken ESP courses. The independent variable was the ESP method, measured through indicators such as material relevance, technical health vocabulary, reading skills, report writing, and presentation abilities. The dependent variable was job readiness, indicated by communication ability, mastery of health promotion, and access to international literature. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression and Pearson correlation with SPSS version 28. The results showed a Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.732 with a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a strong and significant positive relationship between ESP and students’ job readiness. The regression equation Y = 1.12 + 0.76X with an R² value of 0.536 indicates that the ESP method contributes 53.6% to improving job readiness and health promotion knowledge, while 46.4% is influenced by other factors. Thus, better ESP implementation significantly enhances students’ preparedness for careers in public health.

Abstract

The laundry business is growing rapidly in Indonesia, but the management of liquid waste from laundry activities is still inadequate and has the potential to pollute the environment. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of pumice wood (Pistia stratiotes) in reducing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) levels and Power of Hydrogen (pH) values in laundry wastewater in Biru-Biru District, Deli Serdang Regency. This study was a quantitative descriptive study with contact times varying from 2, 4, and 6 days. Twenty liters of laundry wastewater were used as samples, and water quality was measured before and after treatment using a spectrophotometer and pH meter. The results of the study showed that COD levels decreased significantly from 585 mg/L (before treatment) to 194 mg/L on the 6th day, or by 66.84%. The pH value also decreased from 9.5 to 8.0, or by 15.79%, which meets the liquid waste quality standards (6.0–9.0). The effectiveness of pumice wood in the phytoremediation process is due to its ability to absorb organic matter and support the activity of microorganisms around its roots which accelerates the pollutant degradation process. In conclusion, Pistia stratiotes has been proven to be effective, environmentally friendly, and low-cost in reducing COD levels and stabilizing pH in laundry wastewater. It is recommended for small-scale laundry businesses as an alternative simple and sustainable waste processing system.

Abstract

Hospital service quality is an important aspect in determining the level of patient satisfaction, especially in outpatient installations that have direct and repeated interactions. This study aims to determine the relationship between service quality and outpatient satisfaction at the Internal Medicine Clinic of Sembiring Deli Tua General Hospital in 2025. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive analytical design and cross-sectional method. A sample of 87 respondents was taken using the Lemeshow formula. The research instrument was a questionnaire that measured five dimensions of service quality based on the SERVQUAL model, namely tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The results of univariate analysis showed that the majority of respondents rated the service as "good", and patient satisfaction was also high (93.1%). Bivariate analysis with the chi-square test showed a significant relationship between each dimension of service quality and patient satisfaction of tangibles (p = 0.006), reliability (p = 0.003), responsiveness (p = 0.031), assurance (p = 0.022), and empathy (p = 0.005). Thus, the better patients' perceptions of service quality, the higher their perceived level of satisfaction. These results suggest the need to improve service quality across all dimensions to enhance patient satisfaction and hospital loyalty.

Abstract

Fermented Soybean is a traditional food made from fermented soybeans and it is widely favored by the Indonesian population. In 2018, Indonesia became one of the largest producers of processed soybeans, with production reaching 982.5 thousand tons. The popularity of soybean is supported by its affordability, making it accessible to all levels of society (Pakpahan et al., 2021). Industrial wastewater discharged directly into water bodies has become one of the main causes of environmental pollution, particularly water pollution. This study aimed to analysis the wastewater treatment system applied by the factory in reducing Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) levels before being discharged into the environment. This study was experimental in nature, with laboratory analysis. Wastewater sampling was conducted using the composite sampling method. Samples were taken from two points: the raw wastewater (inlet) and treated wastewater from the drainage outlet (outlet). The results showed a decrease in BOD and COD levels before and after wastewater treatment at the Tempe Factory in Marindal 1, Hamlet 9, with BOD values of 91,000 and COD values of 56,000, and an Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000. Since the significance value was < 0.05, it was concluded that there was a significant reduction in BOD and COD levels. In conclusion, the wastewater treatment system at this tempe factory was able to reduce organic pollutant levels. It is recommended that the factory establish a wastewater treatment plant (WTP) to ensure that discharged wastewater is safe for the environment

Abstract

Unsafe behavior in the workplace remains a major factor contributing to occupational accidents across industrial environments. Such behavior includes neglecting operational standards, using personal protective equipment (PPE) incorrectly, performing work hastily, or lacking sufficient alertness while carrying out tasks (Istih, 2017). Data reported by the Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association (JISHA) indicate that every year approximately 10,000 fatal incidents and more than two million workplace injuries occur in the United States, causing economic losses estimated at over 65 billion USD. In Indonesia, the Employment Social Security Agency (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, 2022) recorded 35,291 occupational accident cases in 2020, which accounted for about 42.2% of all cases in West Java Province. These figures underscore the urgent need for effective and structured Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) implementation in various industrial sectors. This study investigates the relationship between workplace supervision and OSH training with unsafe work behavior among employees at PT. Prima Abadi Jaya Medan in 2023. The research applies a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional framework, observing conditions at a single point in time. The study population consisted of 120 workers, from which 51 respondents were chosen according to specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through a pre-tested structured questionnaire that met validity and reliability standards. Analytical techniques involved univariate and bivariate assessments using the Spearman rank correlation test, followed by linear regression through the enter method. The statistical analysis confirmed significant associations between supervision (p < 0.001) and OSH training (p < 0.005) with unsafe work behavior. The results indicate that both variables significantly influence unsafe actions, with supervision emerging as the most dominant factor in reducing unsafe practices at PT. Prima Abadi Jaya Medan.
