<![CDATA[Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) was a vector-borne disease that spreads rapidly and could cause death. Weather changes and climate change indirectly affects the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever. Conducive tropical weather and climate elements such as rainfall, air temperature and air humidity that are supported by the existence of habitat for Aedes aegypti mosquito could increase the risk of dengue cases. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between weather variability and the incidence of DHF in Tegal Regency during the period of 2012-2018. The design of this study was ecological study whereas unit analysis of the study is at population level. The data obtained was analysed by using correlation test spearman to identify correlation of the moran index on weather variability and dengue morbidity rates. The results of variability analysis were rainfall (p = 0,879; r = 0,071), air temperature (p = 0,023; r = -0,821) and air humidity (p = 0,879; r = -0,071). It was showed that the significant risk factors for the incidence of DHF in Tegal Regency was air temperatures. The study concluded that Tegal Regency has weather variability conditions that have the potential to increase the chances of dengue fever therefore intervention such as mitigation are expected to stifle the pace of climate change, and adaptation are needed to facing future impacts that related to the eradication of DHF.]]>

<![CDATA[Introduction: Hearing loss events often occur in communities who exposed to high-intensity noise and for long periods. Residents who lived around the railway tracks had a high risk of experiencing hearing loss. This study aims to analyze the potential risk of hearing loss in housewives who for 1x24 hours was always exposed to train noise. Method: This research was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The sample of this study was 42 housewives who were divided into 2 groups: 21 people exposed to noise and 21 people not exposed to noise. Respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Research data obtained through interviews and observations. Measurement of noise intensity using a whisper test. Result and Discussion: Measurement of day and night noise (L = 65,9 dBA) has exceeded the noise quality standard set for residential areas which were 55 dBA. The results showed that noise (p = 0,030; OR = 5,846) had a strong correlation with hearing loss. While age (p = 0,416), length of stay (p = 1,000), the presence of a barrier (p = 0,465) did not have a significant correlation with hearing loss. Conclusion: Housewives who were exposed to noise have the potential risk of hearing loss. Therefore, efforts must be made to adjust the distance of the settlement and the installation of sound dampers to reduce the risk of hearing loss.]]>
