Kajian Ekonomi Program Bank Sampah Di Makassar (Study on Economic Benefit of Garbage Bank Program in Makassar)

Garbage bank is established as a place to foster, train, assist, buy and market the results of waste management activities from the community. Garbage bank is a form of a local community initiative in efforts to solve community-based waste issues. Garbage banks are expected to provide high economic benefits for improving community welfare. The population of this study is all customers of garbage bank in Makassar as many as 40,114 people. The number of samples as many as 105 respondents. Both descriptive statistical analysis and SWOT analysis was used as the method of analysis. Then, in-depth interviews with stakeholders that consists of government, academic, private, NGO, and community leaders in formulating strategy and policy to develop of garbage bank program in the future. The results of the study indicate that generally the community associated with the garbage bank comes from the socio-economic group with the middle to lower class. The level of knowledge and community participation is still relatively low on waste management and 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle) principles in waste segregation. The garbage bank program brings blessings and economic benefits to society. Beside as a source of additional income for the community, garbage banks can also encourage changes in people's behavior to live healthy and clean, care for the environment and other socio-economic benefits. Furthermore, development strategy of garbage bank should be directed to innovative and strategic programs that can increase the interest of the community to participate actively as the participants/customers of garbage banks. Then, commitment and synergy between regional government and stakeholders is a key factor in improving both economic benefits and development of garbage bank programs in the future

Performance analysis of sigfox deployment

Low-power wide area network (LPWAN) has become a promising communication technology as alternative solutions on long range communications, low power consumption and low cost that overcome the problems faced by traditional communications. An example of LPWAN technology is Sigfox that uses a zero generation (0G) technology. However, there is not many literatures discussed on this technology especially on its applications. The objective of this paper is to study the coverage of Sigfox in Malaysia by tracing its network coverage using a Sigfox module that is integrated with an Arduino microprocessor. In this paper, we reported the experiments performed on real device and field test as well as observed the performance of the proposed technology. This system was tested using two different Sigfox development module which has device ID 4126D0 and 3E3D05. Two locations were selected to observe the connectivity of the Sigfox network. The results showed Sigfox deployment gave impact on a coastal location compared to urban area. Based on this finding, Sigfox is expected to have an improvised performance in the future especially applications in rural and coastal areas

Pre-Injury Demographic Patterns of Patients Sustaining Hip Fractures in Malaysia

INTRODUCTION: Hip fractures entail a growing economic burden on the health care system. Study is warranted to further our understanding of its patterns and to create increased awareness in health care providers and the public. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data was extracted from the ongoing National Orthopaedic Registry of Malaysia (NORM), for the period June 2008 till December 2009. Patients aged 50 years and above without previous pathological fracture hip fractures were included in the study. RESULTS: Most hip fracture patients were 70 years and above (69.5%) with a mean (SD) age of 73.8 (10.3) years. Females represented the majority of the patients in this study (68.4%). Low energy trauma (i.e. trivial fall) was to the main mechanism of hip fractures in this study (81.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Aging adults should be made aware of timely preventive strategies (including osteoporosis prevention) fall prevention measures, and encouraged to maintain physically active lifestyles

Multi-ancestry study of blood lipid levels identifies four loci interacting with physical activity.

Many genetic loci affect circulating lipid levels, but it remains unknown whether lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, modify these genetic effects. To identify lipid loci interacting with physical activity, we performed genome-wide analyses of circulating HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in up to 120,979 individuals of European, African, Asian, Hispanic, and Brazilian ancestry, with follow-up of suggestive associations in an additional 131,012 individuals. We find four loci, in/near CLASP1, LHX1, SNTA1, and CNTNAP2, that are associated with circulating lipid levels through interaction with physical activity; higher levels of physical activity enhance the HDL cholesterol-increasing effects of the CLASP1, LHX1, and SNTA1 loci and attenuate the LDL cholesterol-increasing effect of the CNTNAP2 locus. The CLASP1, LHX1, and SNTA1 regions harbor genes linked to muscle function and lipid metabolism. Our results elucidate the role of physical activity interactions in the genetic contribution to blood lipid levels

Knowledge, attitudes and practices on sunscreen usage in preventing skin cancer among university students

Solar ultraviolet radiation is one of predisposing risk factors for skin cancer. The use of sunscreen plays a vital role in the prevention of skin cancer. A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices related to sunscreen use in the prevention of skin cancer among undergraduate students of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (n=78) in the Faculty of Health Sciences (FSK), Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment (FKAB) and Faculty of Social Sciences & Humanity (FSSK). Majority of the students used sunscreen. The mean level of knowledge for FSSK students was the highest compared to FSK and FKAB students. Next, the mean level of attitude for FSSK students was higher than the FSK and FKAB students. Meanwhile, there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in attitude between FSSK and FKAB students. FSSK students demonstrated highest mean level of practice compared to FSK and FKAB students. Finally, FKAB recorded the lowest number of students with high knowledge and the usage of sunscreen with statistical significance (p<0.05) between the level of knowledge and the use of sunscreen. This indicates that there was a linear association between level of knowledge and the use of sunscreen among FKAB students. In conclusion, knowledge, attitudes and practice were generally satisfactory among UKM students. However, periodic awareness could be applied to instill a healthy habit of using sunscreen in future
