Abstract

The high energy needs force the massive use of coal. PLTU as one of the largest energy-producing industries currently has a significant impact on the environment and social economy. One of the wastes from PLTU activities is fly ash and bottom ash (FABA). By taking a research study at the Tanjung Jati B PLTU one of the largest PLTUs in Indonesia, the authors try to see the impact of FABA waste on the environment and analyze the potential that can be utilized. The research approach used is quantitative by collecting data through literature studies. The results showed that FABA had a negative impact on the environment, especially when it was only left buried in landfills. On the other hand, FABA has the potential to improve the economy, especially for the people around the PLTU industry, including in the agricultural aspect. One of the benefits of FABA is for building construction purposes with a mixture of 20% to 35%. For agriculture, FABA is proven for soil enrichment on a small scale with a mixture of 35% to 50% and can increase the nutrients in the soil .

Abstract

PCB waste pollution from PLN (State Electricity Company) electrical activities is a serious problem that affects the environment and public health. This article discusses the sources and impacts of PCB waste pollution, as well as the steps that can be taken to address it. PCB waste originates from transformers, capacitors, and other electrical equipment used by PLN, and it can contaminate the soil, water, air, and surrounding living organisms. The consequences include ecosystem damage, disturbance of ecological balance, health risks, and even economic implications. To tackle this issue, effective waste management technologies such as retrofilling, thermal processes, and sodium processes need to be implemented. Additionally, strict waste management policies and regulations should be established, and public awareness of the dangers of PCB waste should be raised. By adopting these measures, we can mitigate the negative impacts of PCB waste pollution and work towards a cleaner and healthier environment.

Abstract

Background: The extent of a country’s development depends on the growth of its economy, the level of literacy, as well as the advancements in public health and the national healthcare system. Barriers to a sustainable development in the health sector of a country include financial and socio-political aspects as well as intergenerational communication and transfer of knowledge. Literature on health policy training in developing nations is scarce. Methods: This scoping review was carried out through academic literature search on related articles published from 2014 to 2024, supplemented with indirectly related articles, older academic articles and recent non-academic publications where necessary due to information insufficiency - in order to answer three main research questions regarding the trend in academic interest in this topic, the landscape of health policy education for medical students in developing countries and evidence that the students’ participation in health policy roles can have a positive impact on national healthcare. Findings: 56 articles on medical students’ health policy education and involvement were retrieved, which mostly originated from developed countries. Further investigation found some records of this topic in developing countries, which enabled its discussion and comparison to its counterparts in developed nations. Conclusion: Improving the delivery of health policy education in developing countries is crucial for sowing future physicians’ interest and ability in controlling and advocating for national health issues - which is ultimately important for the development of the national healthcare structure and its capability to overcome not only short term, urgent crises, but also satisfy the long-term needs in a continuously developing nation. Novelty/Originality of this article: No literature has previously been published as an overview of health policy education and involvement of medical students in developing countries and its comparative analysis with the scenario in developed countries as a means of development goal strategy mapping.

Abstract

Background: Employability is the capacity possessed by every worker and is a balanced value between personal resources and work factors. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study design with a research sample of 99 respondents obtained through simple random sampling technique. This research instrument uses The Workplace Stress Scale to measure work stress and the Work Ability Index to measure work ability. This study used chi-square test analysis and multiple logistic regression. Findings: Work ability can be affected by work stress because it disrupts individual health and has an impact on the company. This study aims to determine the relationship between work stress levels and work ability in employees of Company P in 2024. Conclusion: The results showed that the level of work stress was significantly associated with work ability (p=0.003; POR=4.209; 95% CI=1,708-10,369). The results of multivariate analysis showed that age (p=0.017; POR=0.222; 95% CI =0.065-0.761) and job rotation (p=0.000; POR=76.951; 95% CI=12.524-472.811) were confounding variables of the relationship between work stress level and work ability. Novelty/Originality of this article: In this study, the variable most related to work ability is job rotation. Companies can consider before rotating employees and facilitating training in specialized fields so that employees have skills in related fields.

Abstract

Background: Health services as the sector most affected by this situation must also prepare to face the Covid-19 pandemic. Hospitals must start thinking about the steps to be taken to continue treating Covid-19 patients but at the same time also provide services to general patients with minimal risk of transmission, so it is called a balancing act. Methods: This study was obtained by distributing questionnaires to respondents to determine the description of knowledge, attitudes, completeness, comfort, and supervision of respondents, namely nurses at Grha Permata Ibu Hospital. Findings: The gender characteristics of nurses at Grha Permata Ibu Hospital are dominated by female nurses as many as 75 people (92.4%) while male nurses as many as 6 people (7.6%). The majority of nurses at Grha Permata Ibu Hospital completed their last education at DIII as many as 65 people (79.7%), and Bachelor Degree+Ners as many as 16 people (20.3%). The average length of work of nurses at Grha Permata Ibu Hospital is 1-10 years, which is as many as 55 people (68.8%). The lowest length of work as a nurse is 1 month and the highest is 25 years. The level of knowledge regarding compliance with the use of PPE among nurses at Grha Permata Ibu Hospital is at a good level of knowledge, which is as many as 76.3% and less good, which is as many as 23.8%. Conclusion: People who are vulnerable to infection are people who are close to patients or nurses who treat Covid-19 patients. Nurses are currently at significant risk of contracting the infection so it is important for nurses to protect themselves from exposure to the virus. This is what makes nurses and doctors feel unsafe in using PPE because in providing care to patients, the corona virus has been proven to survive in the environment and will be a potential source of infection for hours or even days. Novelty/Originality: This study reveals that the most common reason for not using PPE among nurses was the unavailability of PPE—an operational gap that is often overlooked in previous research on PPE compliance in hospital settings during the pandemic.
