Abstract

Introduction: Geohelminth infections are a neglected global health problem. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020 show that more than 24% of the world population is infected by geohelminths. The condition of the agricultural soil, which tends to be loose and moist, supports the development of the infective form of the geohelminth. This makes agricultural communities susceptible to geohelminth infections. This study aimed to determine a spatial map of geohelminth infection in agricultural communities and its contamination in the soil of Jatian Village, Jember Regency. Methods: This study used an observational analytical design and a spatial analysis approach. Sampling was performed using a random sampling method that included 43 samples. Data were obtained by examining soil and stool samples and the coordinates of the sampling locations. Data were analyzed using spatial analysis. Results and Discussion: The results of this study indicated that the prevalence of geohelminth infection in agricultural communities was 23.3%, and its contamination in the soil was 6.98%. Hookworms caused infections among respondents, and contamination in the ground was caused by Hookworms and Strongyloides stercoralis. Clustering analysis results showed that geohelminth infection formed two secondary clusters. Spatial autocorrelation and buffer analysis showed clustering of geohelminth infections within the buffer range (<100 m), indicating that the infection spreads more easily within the cluster. Conclusion: The spatial map showed the distribution pattern of clustered geohelminth infection cases and their contamination in soil within proximity, thereby increasing the risk of geohelminth transmission.

Abstract

Introduction: Arthropod-borne diseases are infectious diseases mediated by mosquitoes that have incurred a considerable health problem. The prevalence of this disease is notably high in some rural areas, such as Papua, due to some environmental conditions that support mosquitoes breeding sites and leads to high rate of disease transmission. Methods: This experimental research aims to determine the breeding site, mosquitos' diversity, and susceptibility to temephos insecticide through an entomological survey to find out the breeding site of the larvae. The positive breeding sites of the larva were captured and identified in the laboratory. The temephos test were carried out for each species of larvae at dose 0,02 ppm for Aedes albopictus and Culex sp, and 0.25 ppm for Anopheles sp. Results and Discussion: Entomology survey showed that 5 of 27 stagnant water were positive breeding site of mosquito larvae. The following larvae were found: Aedes sp, Culex sp and Anopheles sp. Culex sp and Anopheles sp prefer dirty stagnant water covered with leaves, while Aedes albopictus likes puddles that are exposed to direct sunlight. The three species were known to be susceptible to temephos. Conclusion: There are three species of Diptera in Naena Muktipura village, with different characteristics of breeding site, but those mosquitoes are all susceptible to temephos.

Abstract

Introduction: Indoor air quality can affect the spread of airborne microorganisms which can lead to healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). The quality and quantity of airborne microorganisms are responsible for mortality and morbidity in infection-prone hosts such as patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The research aims to determine the quality of microorganisms in the air, identify the types of aerobic bacteria, and assess the physical parameters of the air in the ICU. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study with a descriptive observational method. Air specimens were collected using the MAS-100 NT tool with blood agar plate solid culture media, which then incubated in an aerobic atmosphere for 24 hours at 37±2°C. Observation and measurement of air microbiological quality was by counting the number of microorganisms in CFU/m3 and identification of bacteria using MALDI-TOF MS. Results and Discussion: The maximum concentration of microorganisms in the air exceeds the standard value, and the average value of the concentration of microorganisms in the air is 736 CFU/m3. The most common types of aerobic bacteria in the air were Bacillus sp. (n=12), Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (n=5), and Staphylococcus aureus (n=5). There was an increase in physical parameters in the form of average temperature (26.24°C) and humidity (70%) with a ventilation system and air regulation using mechanical ventilation sourced from a split air conditioner with an exhaust fan without a high-efficiency particulate-absorbing (HEPA) filter. Conclusion: Low indoor air quality has the potential to increase the concentration of microorganisms and bacterial findings in the air

Abstract

Introduction: In Indonesia, the average dengue cases are 121,191 each year with a Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of 0.69%. Mosquito control with common chemical methods will negatively impact the environment and human health and can cause mosquitoes to develop resistance. Environmentally-friendly replacement chemicals derived from plants such as citronella contains 16.27% citronella and 19.88% geraniol. In addition, lavender plants also contain 35% alcohol comprising linalool and geraniol as well as other chemicals such as borneol. Furthermore, 8-20% of camphor and borneol in rosemary can also be a natural mosquito repellent ingredient. Methods: This study is a True Experiment with The Posttest-Only Controlled Group Design. The number of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes used for each treatment was 20. The study subjects were divided into 4 groups comprising 0.4 ppm of citronella, lavender, and rosemary essential oils and aquades as control. Replication was carried out 3 times and observations were conducted for 20 minutes. Results and Discussion: The Anova Factorial test resulted in a p-value of ≤ 0.05. In addition, there was a significant difference in the number of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes expelled from humidifier vapor. Furthermore, the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test showed that citronella essential oil was most effective in repelling mosquitoes because it has a p-value of ≤ 0.05 and largest average difference between other essential oils. Conclusion: Essential oils from citronella are most effective and stable for 30 seconds to 20 minutes to repel mosquitoes compared to lavender and rosemary essential oils

Abstract

Introduction: Lymphatic filariasis, a neglected tropical disease (NTD), is a parasitic disease caused by microscopic worms that live only in the human lymphatic system. Mosquitoes, as vectors of lymphatic filariasis, play an important role in the prevention of this disease. The aim of this study was to identify agent, vector, and physical environment risk factors for filariasis in developing countries through a literature review. Discussion: This study was conducted using the narrative literature review method. The main sources for this study were articles from Google Scholar, Research Gate, PubMed, Springer, Scopus, and DOAJ databases. The criteria for articles were published between 2012 and 2022, observational studies including cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort designs, open access, and articles were organized according to STROBE guidelines. This study showed that from a total of 100 articles found, 14 articles met the predetermined criteria. Wuchereria bancrofti is the most common agent of filariasis. Culex and Anopheles are the vectors. The presence of bed nets and sewerage conditions were physical environment risk factors for filariasis in developing countries. Conclusion: Prevention of filariasis can be achieved by using mosquito nets or insect repellent when sleeping at night. In addition, open drains should be cleaned regularly to prevent them from becoming breeding sites for mosquitoes as vectors.

Abstract

Introduction: Environmental contamination, especially water quality, is a global issue. The association between river water quality and human health is explored in Banjar Regency, rich in natural resources and essential rivers, utilizing dissolved organic components concentration as an indicator. Methods: A mixed-methods study in Banjar District, South Kalimantan, Indonesia, examined the impact of river water quality on human health, using dissolved forganic components as a primary indicator. Water quality assessments, nutrient content measurements, consumption surveys, and water-related disease epidemiology provided data. The statistical studies revealed key correlations and patterns. Results and Discussion: Water quality metrics varied among sampling locations. The dissolved fish feed negatively correlated with dissolved oxygen, while nutrient content weakly correlated with gastrointestinal disorders. High water temperatures increased respiratory illnesses. Drinking water from sources with high dissolved fish feed content caused digestive and respiratory problems. The study confirms previous research linking water quality parameters to health effects. The complex relationship between water quality and health is location-dependent, illustrating how environmental factors, especially water quality, shape illness trends. Conclusion: The study illuminates the complex links between river water quality, human health, and water usage in Banjar District. Dissolved fish feed content affects digestive and respiratory disorders, emphasizing the need of water quality management for regional health. These findings guide Banjar District water resource management and public health measures and help solve worldwide environmental pollution issues.

Abstract

Introduction: Plastics are rendered as a symbol of this disengagement – a psychological and physical barrier between us and what we consume. People have been involved in preparing and consuming food folds since the 1900s. From the method of making a particular traditional sweet from Atreyapuram, Andhra Pradesh, this study attempted to create folds from ‘Ragi'. The main objective is to create soluble food folds that serve as a versatile bio-packaging unit that is 100% consumable and contributes to zero wastage, which the common womenfolk of community can prepare. Methods: Raw and germinated millets were processed to create edible folds. Subsequently, phytochemical and antioxidant analyses were conducted to evaluate the potential health benefits of the folds. Results and Discussion: Both the folds were relatively compatible to hold the dry contents inside. The highest percentage of scavenging activity is observed for aqueous extract of Germinated ragi fold (G), which scavenged 79.13 % radicals at a 100 μg/ml concentration. The low absorption percentage was expressed by an aqueous extract of Non- Germinated ragi fold (NG), which scavenged 5.22 % radicals at a concentration of 500 μg/ml. However, there is no significant difference between the phytochemical components between folds made from germinated ragi and non-germinated ragi. Conclusion: Edible food folds present a novel strategy for diminishing plastic waste and promoting eco-friendly food habits. Continued research could facilitate widespread acceptance, encouraging a greener approach to food packaging and consumption.

Abstract

Introduction: High levels of phosphate in water are caused by wastewater pollution such as laundry waste water causing eutrophication. Adsorption is a method that can be used to reduce phosphate level. Banana stem that contains high levels of cellulose can be used as the main ingredient for making activated carbon. The aims of this study were to analyze the adsorption capacity and adsorption kinetics of banana stem activateld carbon in relducing phosphatel lelvells. Methods: The design of this research was true experiment with a pretest-posttest controlled group. Adsorption process was carried out with batch method that used three variations of adsorbate concentration and four variations of mixing time. Adsorption took place at pH 3 and 30 rpm of mixing time. Adsorption capacity was analyzed using the Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich isotherm models. Adsorption kinetic was analyzed using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Results and Discussion: The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) difactogram and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) results prove that the activateld carbon was successfully made. The iodine number of banana stelm activateld carbon was 698.12 mg/g. The results showed that activated carbon from banana stem successfully reduced phosphate levels in water with adsorption capacity 0.10708 mg/g and following the Langmuir isotherm model. The kinetics adsorption of banana stem activated carbon was validated by the pseludo-selcond-ordelr kinetics model with a kinetics constant of 0.17137 g/mg.min. Conclusion: The Langmuir models indicated that adsorption of phosphate occurred in monolayer. Modifications of activated carbon were needed based on characterization results.
