Abstract

This research was conducted to analyze the correlation between standing work position and complaints of musculoskeletal disorders on rack frame bending workers in the informal industry of rack making in Surabaya, Indonesia. When doing rack bending, standing work position was affected by work position. The jobs forced workers to work with non-ergonomic standing work position. This caused workers to experience complaints on the skeletal system (MSDs) faster. This research was an observational research with cross sectional design. The sample used a total population of 5 workers. Data obtained by interview, measurement of height and weight and observation of work position. The data analysis method used was descriptive statistics. It was known that due to non-ergonomic standing work position, 40% of rack frame bending workers had a moderate and high MSDs risk category while 20% of other workers were in the low category. In addition, it was known that 40% of workers had low and moderate MSDs complaints category and 20% of other workers had high MSDs complaints category. Based on the results, the standing work position on the rack frame bending workers had a strong and positive correlation with a correlation coefficient of 0.655. In addition to the work position, there was a strong correlation between age, working period, and BMI with MSDs complaints of rack frame bending workers. It was recommended that the employer adjust the frame size on each bending machine and provide seat for workers to rest.

Abstract

In vitro tissue culture application in plant biotechnology is an efficient plant propagation tool in arising plants resistant to diverse a biotic stresses such as drought and salinity. In this investigation, the aim on the in vitro breeding process applied for plants resistant to heavy metal (HM) stress. The experiment included the following two sequent stages: (i) callus cells initiation, some of which are soma clonal variation with new characteristics, (ii) susceptibility of the callus to HMs as selective factor during multiplication to select variants with enhanced HM-resistance. Aloe callus was grown on media complemented with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mg/l cobalt (Co) plus the control treatment. Cobalt accumulation level, mineral status, and callus growth were examined. Results indicate that the increase of Co concentration in medium had influenced callus growth giving the best growth 737 and 56.6 mg for fresh and dry weight respectively at 0.5 mg/l Co concentration, and that growth decreased with increase of Co concentration in medium. With concern to mineral status, cobalt had increased dramatically in callus cells with the increase of Co concentration treatment reaching 108.63ppm at 2.0 mg/l Cobalt, Fe ion concentration reached its highest level 1712.0ppm at 2.0mg/l Cobalt, Mn ions give the highest accumulation level 126.07 ppm at 1.0 mg/l cobalt. While potassium (K)and magnesium (Mg) decreased with increase of cobalt in callus medium recording their highest accumulation level 22244.0 and 492.47 respectively at plant control treatment. Na ions reached its highest level of accumulation 104.3 ppm at 0.5 mg/l cobalt concentration and decreased with the increase of cobalt concentration in the medium.

Abstract

Air pollution can be caused by the number of dangerous gases that arise due to the process of accumulating decaying waste which has acute and chronic effects for people who are exposed. Judging from the data collection method, this study is observational. The study design used in this study was a cross-sectional study design. Risk agent toxicity is expressed in reference doses. For non-carcinogenic inhalation exposures expressed by the Reference Concentration (RfC). Based on primary data derived from the results of measurements of ambient air quality at the loading terminal IIB TPA Garbage Surabaya, the results showed that H2S gas levels of 0.04 where the levels are still below the ambient air quality standards based on East Java Governor Regulation No. 10 of 2009 concerning Quality Standards Air Ambient. From the calculation above, the researcher took the safe value by choosing the cancer risk safe value from the calculation data most likely to be applied by scavengers in the TPA Sampoerna Benowo Surabaya, namely C safe at 3 mg / m3, safe for 3 hours/day and safe for 2 years. Preventive efforts that can be carried out are by controlling the source such as not doing landfill with the open dumping method using the sanitary system. Routinely monitor and control emissions, so that the air quality around the waste picker environment is maintained. Reducing the number of exposures by using personal protective equipment (PPE) in the form of respirators (masks). Perform administrative control by reducing the time and frequency of exposure to H2S dangerous gases. It is better for the Surabaya government and PT X to socialize the hazards and impacts of H2S exposure to workers.

Abstract

Several estimates can occur in the status of blood haemoglobin levels, which can be rated lower or higher than average values. Some previous studies revealed several factors that can affect a person’s Hb levels, such as age and level of exposure. Data from the Banjarbaru City Health Office states that 2017 found farmers in Banjarbaru added to anaemia by 25% for the average age of 47 to 67 years. Meanwhile, the average cholinesterase level was 8.36 U / L. In the data it was also found that polycythemia was 13.33% with an average of 48 to 75 years, whereas the average cholinesterase level was 9.33 U / L. This study aim to analyze age, time off and pesticide exposure to hemoglobin levels in vegetable farmers in the Landasan Ulin Utara Sub-District, Banjarbaru City. This type of research is observational analytic with cross-sectional study design. The population in this study were vegetable farmers who used pesticides in the area of Landasan Ulin Utara Sub-District with a sample of 51 people. Based on the results of research related to age and exposure to pesticides or the levels of Acetyl Cholinesterase (AchE) to Hb levels of vegetable farmers in the Landasan Ulin Utara Sub-District, Banjarbaru City. Cholinesterase levels are the most dominant factor.
