Abstract

Tomato cultivation is an intensive agricultural activity that demands high physical exertion and exposes workers to considerable ergonomic and environmental risks. Most cultivation processes including planting, maintenance, and harvesting are still performed manually, often involving prolonged bending, squatting, and static standing postures. These conditions substantially increase the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This literature review aims to integrate recent findings on the interrelationships among working posture, physiological workload, and environmental factors affecting the health and productivity of tomato farmers. The synthesis revealed a high prevalence of MSDs among agricultural workers, particularly affecting the lower back, neck, and shoulders, primarily due to repetitive and static working postures (Widyanti, 2018; Akbar et al., 2023). Physiological workload studies demonstrated that workers in greenhouse environments experienced elevated body temperatures and fatigue correlated with work intensity and ambient heat (Silalahi et al., 2017; Jung & Kim, 2022). Environmental stressors especially heat and humidity further exacerbate these conditions, leading to heat stress that compromises physical performance and health (FAO, 2018; El Khayat et al., 2022). Furthermore, improper postures during manual harvesting negatively affect both worker well-being and tomato fruit quality, whereas ergonomic practices enhance both efficiency and yield quality (Kuta et al., 2023). Recommended interventions include improved tool and workplace design, task rotation, adequate ventilation and shaded rest areas, and training on ergonomic harvesting techniques (FAO, 2018; Ahamed et al., 2023). The review also highlights research gaps, notably the lack of longitudinal studies and intervention evaluations within smallholder tropical farming contexts. Future research should adopt mixed-method approaches combining physiological, postural, and environmental assessments to develop sustainable, safe, and efficient agricultural work systems.

Abstract

Drinking water is a fundamental necessity for human life. Safe drinking water should be clear, colorless, and free from odor. The presence of heavy metals such as iron (Fe) in refillable drinking water can occur due to contaminated raw water sources or inadequate water treatment processes at refill water depots (DAMIU). Based on the Decree of the Minister of Health No. 492 of 2010, the maximum permissible concentration of iron (Fe) in drinking water is 0.3 mg/L. This study employed a descriptive quantitative method using the Environmental Health Risk Analysis (EHRA) approach to evaluate the potential health risks associated with iron (Fe) exposure in drinking water depots located in Dwikora Village. Measurements of Fe concentrations from four water samples were compared with the maximum permissible standard stated in Permenkes No. 492 of 2010 and analyzed using the EHRA framework. The research population consisted of housewives who consumed water from DAMIU in Dwikora. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The findings revealed that the concentration of iron (Fe) in all four water samples remained below the permissible limit of 0.3 mg/L. This suggests that the Risk Quotient (RQ) values for Fe exposure in all samples were below 1, indicating that the drinking water from the DAMIU in Dwikora is still safe for public consumption.

Abstract

Diarrhea is an endemic disease of significant concern in Indonesia and ranks as the second-largest cause of mortality among children under the age of five. This study aims to identify the correlation between residential location and the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers aged 24–59 months in North Sumatra Province, utilizing data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI). This research used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach and included 3784 toddlers aged 24 to 59 months. Analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results of the analysis showed a p-value of 0,002 (p < 0,05), indicating a strong correlation between place of residency and the incidence of diarrhea. An odds ratio (OR) of 1,670 indicates that toddlers living in urban areas are 1,670 times more predisposed to experiencing diarrhea compared to their rural counterparts. The findings underscore the necessity of considering regional context in the fight against diarrhea in North Sumatera, necessitating interventions adapted to urban and rural settings to enhance the specificity and efficacy of prevention programs aimed at lowering diarrhea incidence in toddlers.

Abstract

Background: Human physical development is fundamentally characterized by body stature, which represents the cumulative length of skeletal structures forming the anatomical framework and overall body proportions. Anthropometric measurements of body height through various skeletal segment assessments have become essential tools in anatomical, anthropological, and forensic investigations. Objective : This study aimed to investigate the correlation between actual body stature and predicted height derived from ulnar bone measurements among women of reproductive age residing in Pabelan Village. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study employing descriptive-analytical methodology was conducted in Pabelan Village. The study population comprised 32 women aged 15-49 years without history of skeletal fractures affecting the spine, upper limbs, lower limbs, or cervical vertebrae, and free from genetic conditions impacting bone structure. Total sampling technique was utilized for participant selection. Anthropometric data were collected using microtoise for height measurement (precision 0.1 cm) and measuring tape for ulnar length assessment. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson correlation test via SPSS version 25.0. Results: Pearson correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant positive relationship (r=0.746, p<0.01) between ulnar length and body height, indicating a strong correlation between these anthropometric variables. Conclusions: This investigation demonstrates that ulnar bone dimension serves as a valid predictor for estimating Body Mass Index (BMI) calculations. Furthermore, the study validates World Health Organization inquiries by confirming that arm span measurements possess superior validity compared to knee height measurements, generating height estimates with greater approximation to actual values Keywords: Height Estimation, Ulnar Bone Dimension, Body Stature, Anthropometry

Abstract

Psychosocial hazards in the workplace arise from the interaction between the work environment, job content, and organizational conditions with the capacity, needs, culture, and personal factors of workers, and can affect health, performance, and job satisfaction. This study aims to analyze psychosocial factors related to the level of psychosocial risk in employees of University X. This quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in the period January–May with a sample of 188 respondents. Psychosocial risk was measured using the Pandemic-Related Perceived Stress Scale, while psychosocial factors were collected through the COPSOQ III questionnaire that has undergone validity and reliability tests. The results show that variables in the home and social arenas are not significant to the level of psychosocial risk. In the individual arena, age is significantly related to the level of risk. In the work arena, workload is a variable that shows a significant relationship with the level of psychosocial risk.
