Abstract

Latar Belakang: Jawa Tengah, salah satu provinsi utama Indonesia, menghadapi peningkatan Case Fatality Rate (CFR) pada tahun 2021, naik dari 4,4% menjadi 6,2%, menempatkannya di antara tiga provinsi teratas dengan CFR tertinggi di Indonesia. Tujuan: Untuk menganalisis faktor sosial demografi, lingkungan, dan layanan kesehatan terhadap CFR COVID-19 di Provinsi Jawa Tengah. Metode: Desain penelitian ini adalah studi ekologi exploratory. Data dihimpun dari 29 kabupaten dan 6 kota di Jawa Tengah selama periode 2020-2023. Variabel dependen adalah Tingkat Kematian Kasus COVID-19 (CFR), sedangkan variabel independen meliputi faktor sosio-demografis (kepadatan penduduk, Indeks Pembangunan Manusia/IPM, kunjungan wisatawan), cakupan layanan kesehatan (jumlah seluruh tenaga kesehatan, tenaga kesehatan komunitas, tenaga sanitasi lingkungan), dan faktor lingkungan (akses sanitasi yang layak, akses air minum bersih, curah hujan, dan jumlah hari hujan). Analisis statistik dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji korelasi dan regresi linier sederhana. Hasil: Korelasi positif yang signifikan antara jumlah tenaga kesehatan per luas wilayah dengan CFR (r = 0,43, p = 0,009) dan antara rasio populasi terhadap tenaga kesehatan dengan CFR (r = 0,43, p = 0,010) pada 2021-2022. Selain itu, akses rumah tangga ke air minum bersih menunjukkan korelasi yang signifikan dengan CFR (r = 0,40, p = 0,018). Namun, faktor-faktor seperti kepadatan penduduk, HDI, dan curah hujan tidak menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan dengan CFR. Kesimpulan: distribusi tenaga kesehatan dan akses air minum bersih memainkan peran penting dalam mengurangi angka kematian COVID-19, Studi ini memberikan wawasan berharga untuk pembuatan kebijakan dalam upaya mitigasi pandemi, terutama di daerah dengan karakteristik demografis dan lingkungan yang serupa.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Kabupaten Konawe, Sulawesi Tenggara, merupakan wilayah dengan aktivitas pengolahan nikel yang cukup intensif, yang berpotensi menyebabkan pencemaran lingkungan perairan, khususnya di Kecamatan Morosi. Paparan logam berat seperti merkuri (Hg) pada ekosistem perairan menimbulkan risiko terhadap biota akuatik, termasuk ikan nila (Oreochromis niloticus), yang merupakan salah satu sumber pangan utama masyarakat setempat..Tujuan:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kualitas air, mengukur konsentrasi merkuri dalam jaringan ikan nila, serta menilai potensi risiko kesehatan masyarakat akibat konsumsi ikan yang terkontaminasi.Metode:Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode pengukuran parameter fisik kualitas air, yang meliputi oksigen terlarut (DO), total zat terlarut (TDS), konduktivitas, salinitas, dan kekeruhan. Analisis risiko kesehatan lingkungan (ARKL) dilakukan melalui perhitungan Risk Quotient (RQ) untuk menilai tingkat risiko paparan. Sampel ikan nila dikumpulkan dari lima lokasi strategis dan dianalisis menggunakan spektrofotometri serapan atom (AAS) untuk mendeteksi kadar merkuri. Responden masyarakat ditentukan secara purposif, dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 100 orang berdasarkan perhitungan rumus Slovin. Hasil:Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa parameter fisik kualitas air bervariasi pada lima lokasi, dengan beberapa parameter mendekati batas ambang minimal kualitas air. Konsentrasi merkuri dalam jaringan ikan nila berkisar antara 0,000971 hingga 0,0021 mg/kg, dengan nilai tertinggi ditemukan pada lokasi yang berdekatan dengan aktivitas industri. Hasil perhitungan RQ untuk pajanan harian (realtime) menunjukkan nilai sebesar 1,643, sedangkan RQ untuk pajanan jangka panjang (lifetime) mencapai 4,383 pada durasi paparan hingga 40 tahun, yang mengindikasikan adanya potensi risiko kesehatan yang signifikan. Kesimpulan: Konsumsi ikan nila dari perairan Morosi berpotensi menimbulkan risiko kesehatan jangka panjang akibat akumulasi merkuri, terutama pada individu dengan durasi paparan yang tinggi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya mitigasi melalui pengurangan konsumsi ikan dari wilayah terdampak, penguatan pengawasan terhadap pencemaran lingkungan, serta edukasi masyarakat mengenai bahaya kontaminasi logam berat dan strategi pencegahannya.

Abstract

Background: The management of organic waste from restaurants in urban areas remains a significant environmental challenge because it contributes to pollution and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Bioconversion using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae offers a promising solution for the rapid decomposition of organic waste while producing biomass products that have economic value. This study aims to evaluate the performance of BSF larvae with different initial weights (10 g, 20 g, and 30 g) in processing organic waste from restaurants. Methods: This experimental study with an observational approach used organic waste collected from restaurants in Tanjung Ayun Sakti Village. Five-day-old BSF larvae, which were cultivated under controlled conditions, were used in three treatment groups based on the initial weight of the larvae (10 g, 20 g, and 30 g). Larval performance was measured through waste reduction index, bioconversion rate, and feed conversion ratio. Results: The results showed that the waste reduction index for the use of 10 g, 20 g, and 30 g of larvae was 40.37%, 55.15%, and 59.27%, respectively. The bioconversion rate for the use of 10 g, 20 g, and 30 g of larvae is 2.96%, 6.67%, and 7.78%, respectively. The feed conversion rate when using 10 g, 20 g, and 30 g of larvae, respectively, was 33.75, 15.00, and 12.86. larvae biomass increased significantly with final yields of 267 g, 600 g, and 700 g. Conclusion: The results showed that the use of 30 g of larvae was the most effective compared to 10 g and 20 g of larvae based on the data waste reduction index, bioconversion rate, and feed conversion ratio. Overall, the significant increase in final larval biomass, reaching up to 700 g, confirms that higher larval quantities have a markedly positive impact on bioconversion efficiency and biomass productivity.
