Abstract

Oil palm agribusiness involves many upstream and downstream stakeholders, including the middleman in marketing activities. Traders play a significant role and influence the economy of oil palm farmers in Serdang Bedagai Regency. This research aims to evaluate the part of the middleman in supporting the performance of oil palm smallholders in Serdang Bedagai Regency, North Sumatra and the obstacles in marketing fresh fruit bunches (FFB) faced by farmers and the middleman. The samples of this study were 6 middlemen and 40 oil palm farmers. The sampling method used was purposive sampling. The method used in the analysis is a qualitative descriptive method, which explains the role of intermediaries in supporting the performance of smallholder oil palm farmers. The results showed that marketing support, capital and quality were the essential roles of the middleman as perceived by the smallholders. Apart from that, in the smallholder palm oil plantation, there are obstacles, namely in terms of price, road access and weight. Meanwhile, the barriers for the middlemen are in terms of price and buying and selling contracts. Policy recommendations for stakeholders include educating smallholder oil palm growers through counseling about access to information, improving access to the main roads in Serdang Bedagai Regency, periodic government monitoring, and drafting a written or legal sale and purchase agreement as not to harm both parties.

Abstract

Soybean is a highly nutritious and strategic food. The harvested area and production of soybeans tend to decrease, not sufficient for national needs, which must be met through imports. Breakthroughs are needed to develop soybean, with specific strategies to adapt to particular conditions, including in Gunungkidul Regency. This study aimed to reveal the soybean development strategies in the dryland agroecosystem in Gunungkidul Regency. Survey and interview methods were used in this research, supported by secondary data analysis and data from the previous year's research. The correlation analysis was used to determine the decrease in harvested area. Other data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed a significant decline in soybean harvested area between 2009 to 2020. The soybean development strategy is area-based, from upstream to downstream, involving both main soybean products and by-products. Soybean planting was carried out in the first, second and third growing seasons, using site-specific soybean cultivation technology, providing seeds through the Jabalsim System supported by irrigation. Policies are needed within the organization's scope, rules, guidance and protection. The final results of this research are embodied in the form of an area-based soybean development diagram in Gunungkidul Regency, which can be used as a development reference.

Abstract

Yogurt is a popular functional drink that can be flavored and enhanced with a variety of spice extracts. Variants of flavors with a combination of spice extracts increase their uniqueness and practical value because of their bioactive components. However, it is necessary to study the physicochemical characteristics and sensory acceptance after adding the flavor variants of the spice extract combinations produced. This study aimed to determine the physicochemical and sensory attributes of the small and medium enterprise of Sehati yogurt drink, which added the flavor combination of ginger, lemongrass and galangal spice extracts in the kunir asem, wedang uwuh and wedang telang flavor variants. The variations were 5% v/v kunir asem, 5% v/v wedang uwuh and wedang telang 5% v/v and 0% for the control used a completely randomized design (CRD) with five replications. Based on the results, the Sehati yogurt drink with 5% kunir asem flavor variant had the highest viscosity, fat content and carbohydrates with 53.4 cP; 3.15%; and 14.61% respectively. The wedang uwuh flavor variant had the most elevated moisture and ash content with 0.3% and 81.27% respectively while the wedang telang flavor variant had the highest protein content value of 1.74%. Moreover, the highest score in terms of taste (sour), aroma, color, thickness and level of preference (sensory attributes) was the wedang telang flavor variant. This research will contribute to further developing functional drinks combined with traditional spices.

Abstract

Complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common in workers with a reasonably heavy workload, such as workers at refill drinking water depots. MSDs can be caused by repetitive activities such as daily bending, lifting and lowering liters of drinking water refills. This study aimed to identify the risk factors of MSDs among workers at refilled drinking water filling depots and analyze the dominant factors that influence MSDs. This study was quantitative research with an analytical survey using a cross-sectional design conducted in Simpang Selayang Village, Medan City, Indonesia. A total of 40 refilled drinking water depot workers were involved in this study with a comprehensive sampling approach. Data was collected directly by distributing questionnaires to workers at refill drinking water filling depots. Data were tested statistically using the Chi-Square test and logistic regression. The analysis showed that work posture, workload, tenure and length of work are associated with MSDs complaints. The results of the logistic regression test showed that the dominant variable influencing MSDs complaints is work posture. Refillable drinking water depot workers with non-ergonomic working postures were likely to experience MSDs complaints 11 times as often as those with ergonomic work postures. The findings highlight the need for local health agencies to educate or empower workers at water refilling stations regarding MSDs complaints. Musculoskeletal disorders associated with work involving heavy loads could be prevented if workers know ergonomic work postures well. In addition, adequate rest is recommended to avoid musculoskeletal injuries.

Abstract

Urban development and increasing population impact improving the demand for non-agricultural land. Through the issuance of Law No. 41 of 2009 concerning the Protection of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land, the government has attempted to reduce the conversion rate of agricultural land by protecting paddy fields that are considered the potential for food supply. This study aims to examine the impact of the transformation of agricultural land to non-agricultural land on food security and the implementation of the of Law No. 41 of 2009. The research method used is survey and descriptive. The focus of discussion includes population growth, land change, land area, harvested area, production and food availability needs data. The data was gathered from field observations, interviews and a literature study. The results showed that the average decrease in paddy fields in the last three years was 98.87 ha. The population density in Sleman Regency is classified as high. In 2018 to 2019 the population density increased by 22.88 people km-2. In 2019 to 2020 the population density decreased by 163.35 people km-2. In 2018 to 2019 rice productivity increased by 625 tons ha-1, although harvested area and production have declined. There is no correlation between the location of paddy fields, population and rice productivity. The food security condition in Sleman Regency is generally stable, but the site of paddy fields that continues to decrease yearly must still be a concern.

Abstract

Agricultural land in Sleman Regency has changed many functions, including constructing toll roads and settlements. The conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural land, without being balanced by the creation of new farmland, resulted in the threat of crisis. This research aims to adjust the spatial plan and its application in the field to suppress and control the rate of agricultural land conversion, thus supporting the maintenance and the realization of food security and good health. It was implemented in the Sleman Regency area covering 17 sub-districts. This research uses the institutional survey method, which collects secondary data from development policies and programs from relevant agencies via email, website or coming directly to the office. The results show that the total area of agricultural land conversion in Sleman Regency is 69.93 ha per year. Agricultural land needs to increase its size by 356 ha in 2019 to meet the demands of the applicable laws and regulations. Land use unrelated to the area's function can impact ecological imbalances and potential disasters. Efforts to optimize land use include land certification, granting, signage and tightening permits. Finally, this research study concluded that by optimizing land use, it is hoped that it will be able to maintain and realize food security and good health, especially in Sleman Regency.

Abstract

The highest prevalence of stunted in the Kedundung Health Center working area in Mojokerto City exceeds the Stunting Prevalence Threshold. Stunted is influenced by the adequacy status of nutritional intake consumed by children, especially the level of protein nutrition intake. Both indirect and direct factors influence protein intake status. This research aims to identify indirect factors using quantitative cross-sectional method. This research used secondary data on stunted under-five children at the Kedundung Health Center, with more than 48 under-five children. The sampling technique used is nonprobability-purposive sampling, which then eliminates missing data through technical data analysis using the Chi-square correlation test. The results obtained for the five independent variables studied, the variable family income level, the father’s education and the mother’s education, have a significant relationship. The father’s employment status variable can not be concluded. The father’s employment status in the literature is related to protein intake through the father’s role in regulating the low protein intake of under-five children. The mother’s employment status variable has no significant relationship with the intake status of under-five children. Mothers do not have sufficient knowledge and skills to regulate under-five children’s intake patterns, including prioritizing food spending and controlling the adequacy of protein intake. The implications of this study show that the family’s economic conditions and the parent’s knowledge affect the protein intake status of under-five children; also, regional financial stability impacts the family economy.

Abstract

Air pollution is a significant problem in Nigeria due to its negative effects on human health. This study is an empirical investigation into how local populations in Nigeria evaluate the impact of air pollution on public health. A structured questionnaire was used and distributed via an online Google form. One hundred thirty respondents provided information regarding the relationship between air pollution and its health effects in 6 cities in Nigeria. The analysis utilized descriptive and inferential statistics, and the data was statistically evaluated using the chi-square and ANOVA with a 95% confidence level. The mean and standard deviation values of respondent’s sex are 65 and 84.8, respectively. The mean and standard deviation of the respondent’s age are 43 and 35 years, where 4% were female (n = 5) and 96% were male (n = 125). The two inferential statistics revealed that the city did not significantly influence the health treatment, whereas the health treatment preferences were significantly affected by the city and the age range. Respondents are aware of air pollution in their communities and acknowledge that it is widespread; 41% of respondents strongly concurred and 55% agreed that air pollution and its adverse effects on health are prevalent. Consequently, people’s health will deteriorate and air pollution will negatively impact public health due to the significant health hazard. Public health is being seriously endangered as a direct result of the threats that are posed by airborne contaminants.

Abstract

Efforts to promote stunting prevention from an early age can be carried out by media that is effective at targeting youth, where youth activities cannot be separated from the digital world. This systematic review uses a scoping review approach and aims to identify media as an intervention in efforts to prevent stunting in adolescents. Article searches were conducted through Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed published in 2018 to 2022 with criteria of full text, open access and keywords such as ‘media AND prevention AND stunting AND effective AND teen’ found 16,508 articles which were then obtained based on the inclusion criteria 8 selected papers. This research describes 5 media interventions for adolescent stunting prevention, including audiovisual; Android applications, social media, leaflets, and booklets. Social media is the most influential media in preventing stunting in adolescents with an increase in the pre-test and post-test difference by TikTok (36.75%), Instagram (22.29%), Twitter (20.25%), Youtube (16.66%), and Facebook (12.61%). Audiovisual videos accompanied by explanations are the second medium that is effectively used, marked by an increase in knowledge from 50.9% to 76.6% compared to the use of videos without reasons. The media interventions have proven effective in increasing adolescents understanding of stunting prevention. Information dissemination to the public, especially youth, is expected to utilize digital media to increase adolescents’ knowledge of stunting prevention which is more effective and efficient.
