Abstract

Pregnant women have a high potential for infectious infections including Covid-19. This study focused on analysing the characteristics and outcomes of 95 maternal deaths that were caused by COVID-19. This observational-retrospective study descriptively analysed 95 maternal deaths due to COVID-19. The study was conducted in June – July 2021 at the COVID-19 Referral hospitals in Central Java Province. The study found that the majority of these deaths occurred in women between the ages of 20 to 35, with 74% falling in this age range. Furthermore, the study found that 63.2% of the patients required treatment for more than 48 hours. The study also noted that almost all of the women who died (98.9%) had not been vaccinated against COVID-19. Of the patients who received treatment, 73.7% received standard therapy. Additionally, 55.8% of the patients had a moderate condition when admitted to the hospital. More than half of the patients (52.6%) died in the intensive care unit (ICU). Furthermore, 63.2% of the patients arrived at the hospital alone. This data may suggest that some of these women were not receiving adequate support or medical care before their hospitalisation.

Abstract

Indonesia is an agricultural country with dry-milled grain production reaching 55.6 million tons in 2022. Besides producing an abundance of rice, milled dry rice also results in waste in the form of rice husks. The handling of rice husk waste is mostly by burning. The smoke from burning is toxic, so it has a poor impact on environmental health. This study is regarding the effect of improper management of rice husks on environmental health, the utilization of rice husks in biogas energy, and its potential in Indonesia. Air quality measurement in areas burning rice husks on the parameters SO2, CO, NO2, and PM10 regarding the method of the Indonesian National Standard. Then anaerobic laboratory-scale research to convert rice husk into biogas. Chemical pretreatment was carried out with 3% NaOH and the C/N ratio determined was 25. Condition variations were determined for L-AD with 7% TS and SS-AD with 17% TS. We found that burning rice husks harm on environmental health. It is indicated by the SO2 and PM10 parameters exceeding the quality standards, namely 167 and 132 µg/m3.The NO2 parameter almost reached the quality standard, namely 178 µg/m3. Generated rice husk can be converted into renewable energy in biogas with good productivity in SS-AD conditions, with biogas production reaching 75.2 mL.gTS-1. Biogas potential from rice husks reached 1.5 million liters. It can support energy security for Indonesia.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the musculoskeletal disorders as a result of incorrect ergonomics. The impact caused by low back pain is bad posture, stiffness, pinched nerve, and muscle weakness. This study aims to determine the relationship between ages, years of service, length of sitting, work posture, and the chair’s ergonomics with complaints of low back pain in tailors at Pasar Petisah, Kota Medan, with 35 workers based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research tools are interviews, observations, and filling out questionnaires. This sampling technique is used purposive sampling methods. Data were analyzed using the STATCAL application with a 5% chi-square test. Based on the result, we concluded that there is a long relationship between ages (p=0,02), years of service (p=0,04), length of sitting (p=0,01), and work posture (p=0,03) with the occurrence of low back pain tailors. Tailors in the Petisah Market in Medan City are at risk for complaints of low back pain based on age, long years of service, a risky length of sitting, and a risky work posture. If the workers ignore low back pain, the impact is the emergence of serious problems such as stiffness in the spine, fractures, pinched nerves, and can even cause death.

Abstract

LBW is one of the highest predictors of infant and child mortality. In Indonesia, more than 100 thousand newborns experience LBW cases. In addition to birth intervals, there are maternal sociodemographic factors that can explain cases of LBW, such as age, parity, location of residence, marital status, education, and level of maternal welfare. For this reason, this study aims to analyze the association between birth intervals and maternal sociodemographic factors in LBW cases using the 2017 IDHS data. The study results show that 1 in 10 babies is born with LBW. More than half are found in rural areas, with secondary education of the mother, and in the poorest conditions. SRS results show that birth interval has no significant association with LBW. However, from the results of MLR, birth interval, parity, mother's age, residency, education, and the interaction between education and birth interval are significant determinants of LBW. Mothers who have children with short (24 months) or long (48 months) birth intervals, live in urban areas, have a lower level of education, and are under 20 or over 35 years old have a greater chance of giving birth to LBW babies. Meanwhile, mothers with more children have a slight chance of giving birth to LBW babies. These findings show the critical role of family planners in educating partners and parents in Indonesia regarding the potential risks of LBW babies according to the mother's sociodemographic condition.

Abstract

Indonesia is a dengue-endemic country with cases of death every year, including East Kalimantan. One house one jumantik/larva monitor (G1R1J), has been carried out in Samarinda, East Kalimantan but has never been evaluated and implemented. This study aims to determine the communities’ knowledge, attitudes, and actions regarding G1R1J, as well as to see the effect of mentoring by cadres. This research is a quasi-experimental research with a control design. The research activities took time from March - November 2019. Measurements were taken before and after treatment by conducting a pre-test and post-test in Sidodadi Village as an intervention and Dadimulia as a control. The sample size in this study was 300 respondents with the criteria of the occupants of the house/building appointed/person in charge of implementing G1R1J. The instrument used is a questionnaire. T-test statistics are used to determine differences in the control and treatment areas, as well as before and after the intervention. The results showed an increase in knowledge, attitudes, and actions regarding the understanding, symptoms, and causes of dengue fever, as well as about one house one jumantik/larva monitor (G1R1J) after assisting cadres when compared to the control area. There was a statistical difference between the treated areas when compared to the good control areas. Optimum utilization of cadres should be an alternative to reduce the incidence of DHF in the community.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has been running in Indonesia for more than two years. The first case was found in March 2020. DKI Jakarta as the capital city of the country with a high population density and an economic center that was threatened because the area has a high vulnerability to the spread of COVID-19. The number of confirmed cases that continue to soar and the spread that is difficult to be controlled have resulted in the DKI Jakarta government taking policies such as implementing large-scale social restrictions (PSBB), which aims to stop the spread of COVID-19 and to look for patterns of spread of COVID-19. This study uses a geographic information system in looking for patterns of the spread of COVID-19. The analytical method used is spatial autocorrelation, which is carried out using the Moran Index. In addition, the autocorrelation test was also carried out using a Local Indicator of Spatial Autocorrelation (LISA) with the results in the form of a cluster map and a map of significance. The Ordinary Least Squares analysis method is a regression technique that provides a global model for understanding and predicting variables in research. The correlation variables used in this research are Markets, Supermarkets, Buses, and Stations. The result of this study is the spatial autocorrelation of the pattern of spread of COVID-19 between villages and spatially the distribution pattern is clustered. In the OLS regression distribution pattern, the supermarket variable with an R-Squared value of 0.128555 or 12% affects the spread of COVID-19. Based on the calculation of R-Square, Koenker (BP) in addition to the OLS model, the assumption of homoscedasticity is not met, so the model is Ordinary Least Squares not good compared to other models in analyzing the pattern of the spread of COVID-19 in DKI Jakarta.
