Abstract

Vocational schools equip students with practical skills and expose them to industry-related hazards, making Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) a crucial aspect of the school environment. This study aims to identify key factors behind the weak implementation of OHS in vocational schools. A literature review used articles published between 2017–2024 from national and international journals. The review found poor OHS implementation stems from lack of awareness, inadequate policies, insufficient infrastructure, weak safety culture, and negligence in accident prevention. To address these issues, the study recommends OHS education and training, improvement of school infrastructure, curriculum integration, formation of safety teams, and routine monitoring. These strategies aim to foster a safety-oriented school culture and reduce accident risks for students, teachers, and visitors.

Abstract

Second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure in the home environment has become a public health emergency, especially in countries with very high smoking rates, such as Indonesia. SHS exposure has already presented evidence of symptoms of the respiratory category, like a cough and shortness of breath. This study aimed to assess the association between exposure to SHS at home and the presence of respiratory symptoms among non-smoking adults in Depok, Indonesia. Convenience sampling was adopted for enrolling 108 non-smoking adults aged 18-30 who were jointly exposed to SHS in their homes for a cross-sectional study. Data aggregations of gatherings were performed using a standardized, interviewer-structured questionnaire of symptoms of the respiratory category, which is cough and shortness of breath. Descriptive statistics were used to sum up participant characteristics, and the correlation of SHS frequency and location with occurrences of the duration of the respiratory symptoms was tested using the Chi-square test. The study findings indicated a statistically significant correlation between SHS exposure in particular locations of residence (bedroom, kitchen, and living room) and self-reported frequency of shortness of breath (χ² = 59.02, p = 0.00001) and coughing (χ² = 53.94, p = 0.000168). Our study, therefore, suggests that household SHS exposure has a strong correlation with shortness of breath and coughing in non-smoking adults. The study calls for smoke-free home policies and greater public health awareness of the risk of SHS exposure.

Abstract

Sea transport plays a vital role in the movement of goods and passengers, yet it simultaneously poses a potential risk for the transmission of infectious diseases, both nationally and internationally. Ship hygiene and sanitation inspection (HSI) is a strategic measure to control such risks, and the outcomes of these inspections are influenced by the expectations of the implementing officers. This study explores how staff expectancy at the Banten Class I Port Health Quarantine Office affects the quality of HSI. A qualitative study using the Rapid Assessment Procedure (RAP) was conducted with 80 staff members across five work units. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations, and analyzed using triangulation of sources and methods. Findings indicate that expectancy is shaped by perceived ability, work experience, and technical skills, all of which affect motivation and inspection quality of HSI. Officers with high expectancy demonstrated stronger motivation and performance, while limited experience and competency hindered those with lower expectancy. This study recommends strengthening staff capacity through continuous training, establishing multidisciplinary inspection teams, and enhancing institutional support through performance-based incentives. The findings highlight staff expectancy as a critical factor in improving the quality of HIS.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the influence of compensation, including wages, incentives, and benefits, on the performance of health workers in primary health centers and hospitals. A literature review was conducted using Google Scholar and PubMed, focusing on articles published in the last 5–10 years. From an initial search yielding 1,021 articles, nine were selected based on inclusion criteria. The results show that direct compensation (salary) and indirect compensation (benefits) have a positive impact on health worker performance. However, the effect of incentives varies depending on implementation. Motivation and job satisfaction were mediating factors that strengthened the relationship between compensation and performance. These findings highlight the need for fair, performance-based compensation systems to improve the productivity and retention of health workers in Indonesia.

Abstract

Compulsory paternity testing at birth has sparked significant legal, ethical, and social debate due to its potential impact on family dynamics, child well-being, and parental responsibility. This review explores the ethical, legal, and societal implications of such testing, using Bioecological Systems Theory and Rawls' Theory of Justice to frame the discussion. This review evaluates the benefits and challenges of mandatory DNA testing at birth, particularly in reducing paternity fraud, ensuring fairness in child support allocation, and enhancing socio-economic outcomes, especially in low-income households. This qualitative review draws on multidisciplinary literature from family law, genetic counseling, social policy, and fathers' rights advocacy. Sources were identified through PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, alongside grey literature such as policy briefs and advocacy reports (e.g., Fathers 4 Justice SA). Search terms included "paternity fraud," "mandatory DNA testing," "child support," and related ethical and legal concepts. The literature reveals paternity fraud is a significant concern, which compulsory DNA testing could help mitigate; however, privacy, parental autonomy, and the social implications of mandatory testing present challenges. The review emphasizes the importance of balancing the benefits of transparency with protecting individual rights, particularly in societies with strong traditional family structures. Compulsory paternity testing could promote fairness and reduce financial exploitation, but its implementation must address ethical concerns, including informed consent and privacy. Policymakers are urged to develop balanced regulatory frameworks that consider both the benefits and the ethical challenges. Special attention should be given to cultural values and protecting children's rights.
