A Systematic Review on the Effectiveness of Biological Larvaside the Vector Control Efforts in Dengue Fever Disease

The use of temephos as larvasida in the prevention of the disease dengue fever in Indonesia has already lasted for 40 years. Currently the most widely used larvacide for controlling Aedes sp larvae is 1% temephos. The use of in- secticides for a long time for the same targets provides unmatched pressure, which encourages the development of the population of Aedes aegypti to Become more resistant faster. One effort to overcome this problem is to find a more selective and safe biological insecticide. Biological insecticides are interpreted as an insecticide whose basic ingredients come from plants that Contain chemicals (bioactive) that are toxic to insects but are biodegradable in nature, so they do not pollute the environment and are relatively safe for humans, besides biological insecticides are also selective

Increased Thyroid Hormone Levels in Pesticide Sprayer at Agricultural Area

Pesticides used massively in the agricultural sector would cause many poisoning and serious health problems. Organophosphate pesticides have been identified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals. This study aimed to compare thyroid hormone levels between the sprayers chronically exposed to pesticides and the control respondents who had never been exposed to pesticides. This study was an analytical observational with a cross-sectional design. The total number of respondents was 150, 50 as sprayers and 100 as control respondents. The venous blood samples were examined using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The findings significantly showed that the sprayer had a higher level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (4.776 ± 1.1166), lower triiodothyronine (T3) (108.822 ± 18.810), and lower thyroxine (T4) (7.808 ± 1.067). Determinant factors among sprayers that significantly correlated to TSH levels was age (p-value = 0.006); work duration (p-value = 0.000); personal protection equipment (PPE) (p-value = 0.045); body position (p-value = 0.014); type of pesticides (p-value = 0.004), correlated with T3 levels was age (p-value = 0.037); body position (p-value = 0.045), correlated with T4 levels was age (p-value = 0.000); PPE (p-value = 0.045). It could be concluded that chronic organophosphate exposure would increase TSH and decrease T3 and T4

Determinants of COVID-19 prevention equipment readiness in families during pandemic in Indonesia

Indonesia was the country with the second-highest case of COVID-19 in the South East Asia Region (SEAR) of the World Health Organization (WHO) data until August 1, 2021. As an infectious disease, the high level of COVID-19 rate transmission requires everyone always to prepare a prevention tools kit to minimize the risk of coronavirus exposure. This study aimed to analyze the determinant factors of readiness of the COVID-19 prevention tools kit. This study used a cross-sectional design with a mix-method technique because data collection and analysis combine quantitative and qualitative approaches in several phases of the research process. Data collected from 18 representative provinces in Indonesia with a total of respondents involved were 2,196 people. The Binary Logistic Regression tests were used to analyze the variable correlation. The multivariable analytic showed that the determinant factors with a significant correlation which affected the readiness of COVID-19 prevention tools kit in each family during pandemic in Indonesia were age 37-46 years old (p=0.000; odds ratio=8.039), female gender (p=0.000; odds ratio=8.653), self-employed jobs (p=0.028; odds ratio=2.239), income > 5 million per month (p=0.000; odds ratio=7.267), good knowledge (p=0.000; odds ratio=3.311), and good perception (p=0.001; odds ratio=2.015). The supply of tools and medicines to prevent COVID-19 is indispensable during the pandemic to protect against COVID-19 infection. Masks and hand sanitizers become the main kits most individuals have, especially when doing outside home activities. At the same time, the oximeter becomes the least kit in the family. This preparation also teaches citizens to practice a healthy lifestyle. Cross-sector coordination is needed to improve public awareness of COVID-19 prevention equipment

ANALISIS PENGELOLAAN SAMPAH RUMAH TANGGA (SAMPAH MEDIS DAN NON MEDIS) DI KOTA SURABAYA SELAMA PANDEMI COVID-19

ABSTRACT  Community activities during the Covid-19 pandemic that runs from home such as school and work led to an increase in non-medical household waste and medical waste (masks). The aim of study was to analyze the implementation of the management of household waste (medical and non-medical) by the community in Surabaya during the pandemic Covid-19.  The study was a descriptive cross-sectional design.  Data was collected through observation and questionnaires online for one month. The variables analyzed were the level of community knowledge and actions in the application of 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) and waste sorting. Results of research on the level of knowledge demonstrated 57,73% out of 220 people with a good knowledge level. A total of 30,9% of the people implementing the 3R, as many as 47,7% of people apply organic and non-organic waste sorting, while 16.4% of people who apply medical and non-medical waste segregation. From these results, it can be concluded that the level of knowledge of the people of Surabaya City is high but the application of waste management by the people in the City of Surabaya (application of 3R, sorting organic and non-organic waste, and sorting medical and non-medical waste) is low. Encouragement and strict regulation are needed from central and local government in waste management to support the health and environmental hygiene.
