Abstract

Introduction: Gastrointestinal parasitic infections in pigs remain a significant problem, especially in smallholder farming systems with traditional management practices. Parasite detection is generally carried out through fecal examination, but the sensitivity of the results is greatly influenced by the methods and reagents used. This study seeks to assess and contrast the efficacy of flotation and sedimentation techniques in identifying parasite eggs and larvae in pig feces from Marga Sari Village, Tangerang Regency. Research Methods: A comparative descriptive study using fifteen pig feces samples obtained through purposive sampling. Each sample was examined using four examination methods, namely the flotation method with a 33 ZnSO4 solution, the flotation method with a saturated NaCl solution, the sedimentation method with a 0.9 NaCl solution, and the sedimentation method using distilled water. All samples were examined once using each method, resulting in a total of 60 preparations observed. Microscopic examination was performed to identify the presence and type of parasite eggs and larvae based on their morphological characteristics. Research Results: The flotation method using a 33 ZnSO4 solution showed the highest percentage of positive samples, namely 53.3, followed by the saturated NaCl flotation method at 40.0. The sedimentation method with a 0.9 NaCl solution and distilled water showed positive percentages of 33.3 and 26.7, respectively. Ascaris lumbricoides eggs were the most commonly found parasites, while hookworm eggs were only detected using the flotation method. Conclusion: The flotation method, particularly using a 33 ZnSO4 solution, is the most sensitive method for detecting parasite eggs in pig feces. A combination of flotation and sedimentation methods is recommended to obtain a more comprehensive diagnosis of gastrointestinal parasites.

Abstract

Introduction : Psychological distress among university students remains a significant mental health concern, and environmental exposure is one of the contributing factors to this condition. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between environmental exposure and psychological distress among students in an industrial area. Method: This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach conducted at Politeknik Kesehatan Kerta Cendekia from August 2025 to March 2026. The sample consisted of 105 students who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using an environmental exposure questionnaire developed by the researchers and the DASS-21 questionnaire to assess psychological distress, which includes three indicators: stress, anxiety, and depression. Data were analyzed using SPSS with the Spearman Rank Correlation test. Result: The results showed a positive relationship between environmental exposure and psychological distress, with p-values of 0.047 for the stress indicator, 0.006 for the anxiety indicator, and 0.026 for the depression indicator. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a  positive relationship between environmental exposure and psychological distress among students in industrial areas. Educational institutions and the government need to collaborate on promotive and preventive efforts to minimize the impact of environmental exposure on students’ psychological distress
