Abstract

One of physical factors contributing to the increasing number of work accidents and deaths is the hot working climate. One of the effects of hot working climate is work fatigue. The purpose of this study is to analyze the strength and direction of the relationship between the hot work climate and work fatigue in indoor production workers. This is an observational descriptive study using a cross sectional design. The sample was 33 workers. This study collected data of workers weight, workers height, pulse rate, Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, reaction timer and Subjective Self Rating Test. Data was analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis. The result showed that only working area of Oven 1 and Oven 2 that have the hot work climate exceeding the threshold limit value. All of 6 workers in those areas reported to experience subjective work fatigue. This study found that hot work climate and work fatigue has fairly strong and unidimensional relationship.

Abstract

Benzene is one of the aromatic hydrocarbon compounds that are widely used in the industrial sector. Benzene exposure in the work environment has been set a threshold value. Benzene exposure in humans can provide health effects especially disrupting the central nervous system, hematopoietic system, and immune system. Acute effects can include laryngeal irritation, dizziness, pallor, shortness of breath, headache, fatigue, drowsiness, and fainting. While the chronic effects can be cancer. This research is a study with an environmental health risk analysis approach with the aim to assess and make predictions that will occur due to exposure to benzene in public fuel station (SPBU) officers around the area of Diponegoro University, Semarang. The Environmental Health Risk Analysis (ARKL) approach consists of several steps, namely hazard identification, response dose analysis, exposure analysis, and risk characteristics. The results of the measurement of benzene concentrations in gas stations around the Diponegoro University in Semarang at point 1 were 0.38 ppm and at point 2 was 0.51 ppm. So that the concentration is still below the Threshold Value (NAB) according to the Minister of Manpower Regulation Number 5 of 2018. Based on manual calculations for safe limits benzene concentration is obtained 0.08538 mg / m3 or 0.02672 ppm. This means that the highest concentration of benzene in the work environment is 0.51 ppm, with an average body weight of 55.67 kg, height of 159 cm with a working time of 8 hours, and safe concentration so as not to cause a non-carcinogenic risk is 0.08538 mg / m3 or 0.02672 ppm.

Abstract

Background: Trismus is defined as painful limitation in mouth opening due to a muscle spasm. Trismus, also called lockjaw, (restricted jaw range of motion).There are various causes of trismus, one is spasm of the muscles of mastication. Assessment of the effect of local anesthesia and extraction on mouth opening ability. Methodology: Total sample of 40 patients included both genders (27 male and 13 female) participated in this study, all Patients were healthy with no allergy to local anesthesia, don’t use alcohol or any drug therapy. Lidocaine HCL 2% with epinephrine 1:80,000 is used to anesthetize the inferior alveolar nerve using IAN block technique, while surgical tools were used for extraction in the usual way. Baseline mouth opening was evaluated pre-operatively, during the effect of local anesthesia and post-operatively by using digital Vernier caliper. Results: significant difference in mouth opening between the measurements (pre-operative, during anesthesia, post-operative) is found , mouth opening decreases when measurement is directed toward postoperatively.

Abstract

Our study was carried out during the period from November 2018 to May 2019. 24 rats were used assigned and divided into three groups. The first group was the control group and a second group were injected with aqueous extraction of Eucalyptus leaves extract at concentrations of 100 and 150 mg /Kg experiment lasted 30 days. Zn, Pb, Cd, and Cu were measured in the leaves of plant and after confirming the presence of these heavy metals, we exposed the laboratory animals to the Eucalyptus aqueous extract and after the end of the period rats were sacrifice and blood collected. Blood were used to measure study parameters and relative gene expression of (SOD and catalase). Moreover, antioxidants and enzymes AST and AL were measured from serum. Results showed that the concentration of Pb in the plant was 0.19?g/g. The highest mean Zn was 14.23?g/g. The Cd concentration was 0.35?g/g and the copper concentration were 2.31?g/g from previous data we can find out that the amount of heavy metals is not really high. we would be expected low impact on animals since not high concentration found. The results of blood parameters of rats showed different outcome where it has been noticed that a significant increase in Hb, PLT and RBC at the 100mg/kg exposure and an increase in WBC in both concentrations. In addition, our results showed a significant decrease in RBC and Hb at the 150mg/Kg decrease MDA, MCV and MCH levels are decreased at both concentrations. A significant decrease in AST at 150mg/kg while the results showed a significant increase in lower concentration.
