Abstract

Kendari Bay is currently experiencing considerable physical pressure and pollution due to heavy metals. This study aims to determine the content of heavy metals mercury and chromium in sediment and seawater in Kendari Bay. This study uses an observational design with a descriptive approach. The study was conducted in April 2019 in five Port areas with three sampling points in each region. Samples taken are sediment and seawater. Samples taken were analyzed by the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method. The results show that all sampling points at five Ports have been contaminated with mercury and chromium in sediment and seawater. The levels of mercury and chromium have exceeded the quality standards stipulated by Minister of Environment Decree No. 51 of 2004. The highest levels of mercury and chromium in seawater and sediment are highest in the Dermaga Tempat Pendaratan Ikan (TPI). This is due to the dense traffic activity of fishing vessels, residential waste, Hospital waste, hospitality waste, tourist waste, paints on ships, oil spills, rust from shipwrecks, and heavy equipment activities from the construction of the Bahteramas Bridge or the Kendari Bay Bridge. Technology needs to control heavy metal contamination as well as policies and law enforcement regarding activities at sea that have the potential to pollute waters.

Abstract

In 2015, the Health Office of Banyumas Regency records 7 cases of maternal deaths, 243 cases of infant deaths, and 41 cases of under-five deaths. Compared to 2015, maternal mortality increases in the first three months of 2016. This research aims to identify the causes of maternal deaths that occur in 2016 in Banyumas Regency using the Health Belief Model conceptual framework. The results show that the cause of maternal death in Banyumas Regency is the lack of antenatal services due to the lack of knowledge and awareness of mothers, social status of women in the community, availability of health facilities, vulnerabilities received, benefits of antenatal services, barriers to access to health services, and quality of health facilities and health workers. The problem solving plan is based on the HBM concept framework that can be prepared consisting of stakeholder advocacy, health promotion programs through counseling for pregnant women, programs to improve access to health facilities, and intervention programs for health workers.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the concentration of traffic air pollution and the level of testosterone, fasting glucose, cortisol, and lipid profile among traffic police in Jakarta. Testosterone plasma and blood biochemicals in traffic police and the police officer were analyzed using ELISA kit. Air quality data from the Regional Environmental Agency (BPLHD) Jakarta 2012 were used for the characterization of exposure. The analysis used a t-test and linear regression test to show the relationship levels of pollutants exposure with the effects of reproductive dysfunction (p<0.05). The average plasma levels of testosterone in the traffic police 543.6 ± 170.5 mg/dL, which is higher than the police at the office 456.2 ± 133.2 mg/dL. The average plasma cholesterol levels of police at the office is 212.3 ± 42.0 mg/dL, which is higher than the traffic police 200.0 ± 40.2 mg/dL. On average fasting glucose levels police at the office is 90.0 ± 13.1 mg/dL, while traffic police 84.2 ± 5.9 mg/dL. The testosterone levels of traffic police are higher than the official police, and traffic police exposed to pollutants have lower fasting glucose levels than police officers in offices. Keywords: PM, plasma testosterone, reproductive function.

Abstract

Depression is a common mental disorder, characterized by persistent sadness and a loss of interest in activities that you normally enjoy, accompanied by an inability to carry out daily activities, for at least two weeks. Female prisoners represent groups at risk of depression where depression in prisoners is more vulnerable to female prisoners than men. This study aims to determine the factors associated with depression among prisoners in Women’s Class II-A Prison Jakarta. The study design used was cross-sectional with multivariate analysis, multiple logistic regression. The number of research samples is 200 prisoners taken using random sampling techniques. The results showed that the prevalence of depression among prisoners in Women’s Class II-A Prison Jakarta is 56,5%. Based on the results of the multivariate analysis, it can be seen that factors related significantly to depression are age (p-value = 0.012; POR = 2.144; 95% CI = 1.185 - 3.879) and recidivism status (p-value = 0.043; POR = 3.926; 95% CI = 1,047 –14,729) which the most influential factor on the incidence of depression is recidivism status. Government attention needs to be given to the mental health of prisoners by conducting various mental health programs and services such as regular screening and rehabilitation programs.

Abstract

ECG is a routine, accessible, inexpensive, and non-invasive tool for diagnosis of CVD and has been commonly described in medical reports as a suitable diagnostic tool for assessing ‘silent’ heart disease. An observational descriptive study, in Gisikdrono Urban Communities, found 72% elderly with hypertension, and higher than the reported national prevalence in 2013 (25.8%). We gained 38% of elderly with abnormal ECG which is: 5% Old myocardial infarction, 3% IMO Anteroseptal, 5% LVH, 8% LAD, 3%) of Inferior Ischemia, 3% dysrhythmia, and 13% bradycardia, without complaint of heart disease before. Aging became one of the factors of declining protection in the heart and increases the risk of destruction of heart failure. Considering examination of other organs that can affect the cause of heart anomalies to the elderly and expected to raise awareness of the importance of maintaining the blood pressure.

Abstract

One of the informal sectors that absorbs labors in Indonesia is informal work in the household. This job can absorb workers but having health problems and safety risks if they do not apply safe behavior. Factors influence safe behavior are knowledge and motivation. This study is to determine the relationship of knowledge and motivation to safe behavior in the informal sector female workers. This research is cross-sectional quantitative observational design. The sample are 45 workers. The independent variables are knowledge and motivation. The dependent variable is safe behavior. The instrument is questionnaire. Research data is analyzed by chi-square. The result of the study showed no significant relationship between knowledge and safe behavior (p=0,496>0,05). Chi square analysis showed there is no significant relationship between motivation and safe behavior with p=0.545> 0.05. This study gives insignificant results, so the next researcher can discuss more factors that influence safe behavior with different research methods so that they can enrich new findings in the field of Occupational Safety and Health, both of which later give significant or insignificant results. Therefore, this research is important to be published. The conclusion from the study is no significant relationship between knowledge and motivation to safe behavior.
