EFFECTIVENESS OF "SM" TOOL TO REDUCE DETERGENT LEVELS IN LAUNDRY WASTEWATER

Introduction: The use of detergent every year is increasing in line with the population growth rate in Indonesia. The impact of excessive use of detergent will result in pollution and damage to ecosystems and aquatic biota. The nature of detergents is to damage microorganisms. The dominant laundry waste comes from softeners and detergents. The research aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the "SM" tool to reduce detergent levels in laundry wastewater. Methods: This type of research was pre-experimental with a one-shot case study design. The independent variable was a tool to recycle laundry liquid waste into clean water "SM." The dependent variable was the detergent level (MBAS). The sample came from the laundry in the Kecamatan Baturraden area. Replication was carried out six times. Analyzing differences in detergent levels before and after being treated with the "SM" tool. The analysis used a paired T test. Result and discussion: The experimental results showed the “SM” tool could treat 960 liters of wastewater/day. The physical quality of the water after being treated using the “SM” tool, the water was colorless or clear, but it still smelled slightly fragrantly. The average level of detergent level checks before processing was 2.52 mg/L and after processing was 0.01 mg/L. The effective detergent parameter (MBAS) decreased by 99.51%, categorized as quite effective. The analysis using the paired T Test showed the p value of 0.239 with the lower and upper values being at one pole, meaning there was a significant difference between detergent levels before and after being processed utilizing the "SM" tool. Conclusion: Detergent levels (MBAS) after processing met the chemical quality requirements of clean water in accordance with Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 32 of 2017 concerning Environmental Health Quality Standards and Water Health Requirements for Sanitation Hygiene, Solus Per Aqua and Public Bathing Needs

A Set of Smart Practices for Public Health Department Accreditation by Public Health Accreditation Board

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to determine smart practices that could be used by a public health department to have an efficient, productive and successful accreditation by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). Methodology: Accreditation coordinators of eight accredited Ohio-based public health departments were interviewed in 2016. A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with funneling. Results were generated using a hybrid model of analysis that included a content analysis to make valid inferences from the interview data. Results: The accreditation coordinators identified a series of smart practices. Six prominent themes that were identified and labeled as smart practices included: Mock Drill, Documentation, Tools, Program & Process Planning, Leadership & Staff Support, and Ask for Help or Reach-out. Recommendations: The use of the smart practices identified in this research may assist a public health department in efficiently achieving accreditation and in the process help it to better serve the needs of the community

Assessing the biodiversity value of degraded lowland forest in Sumatra, Indonesia

Forest degradation, forest fires, and wildlife poaching have devastated biodiversity in Indonesia. To assess the impact of forest degradation and the potential for recovery, we used birds as a proxy for biodiversity and assessed density estimates (hereafter density) in the degraded lowland forest of Harapan Rainforest Ecosystem Restoration Concession (HRF) in Sumatra. In this study, a total of 149 bird species (from 5,317 individuals) were recorded. Of the 103 species for which densities could be calculated, 45% were lowland bird specialists (i.e. species occurring below 200 m above sea level in Sumatra), including three globally threatened and 41 Near-Threatened species. Comparison with bird densities in degraded forest of Borneo revealed that there was broad similarity across taxa but three species had significantly higher density, and four had significantly lower density, in HRF. The mosaic of degraded forest habitats in different stages of regeneration in HRF appears to support more individuals of some species, especially woodpeckers, than the Bornean sites, but fewer individuals of other species. Determining bird densities is essential to establish population baselines, allowing comparisons between sites and over time. The present study fills one gap, but we urge others to conduct similar studies to provide a better understanding of the temporal and spatial variation in bird density in Southeast Asia’s degraded forests

Kualitas dan Kuantitas Air Bersih pada Gerbong Kereta Api Stasiun Purwokerto

Abstrak Air bersih pada gerbong kereta api digunakan untuk kamar mandi pada setiap gerbong. Air bersih pada kereta api berperan penting bagi penumpangnya, apabila air bersih yang digunakan kualitasnya tidak sesuai dengan peraturan , maka dapat berdampak bagi pengguna air bersih tersebut. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif. Pengumpulan data dengan pengamatan, wawancara, dan pemeriksaan. Data ini disajikan dengan menggunakan editing, coding, tabulating dan saving. Hasil penelitian pada kereta api ekonomi yaitu kualitas fisik, kimia, dan mikrobiologi telah memenuhi standar Permenkes 32 Tahun 2019, dengan hasil tidak berbau, tidak berasa, pemeriksaan warna 10,7 TCU, kekeruhan 5 NTU, TDS 258mg/l, suhu 29˚C, pH 8, dan total coliform 41CFU/100ml. Keadaan sarana sanitasi pada kereta api ekonomi kurang baik, dengan reservoir sudah berkarat, dan toilet yang berbau urine. Air bersih  pada kereta api eksekutif yaitu kualitas fisik, kimia, dan mikrobiologi telah memenuhi standar Permenkes 32 Tahun 2019 yang meliputi hasil air tidak berbau, tidak berasa, warna air 5,5 TCU, kekeruhan 5 NTU, TDS 353mg/l, suhu 24˚C, pH 8,4, dan total coliform 23CFU/100ml. Keadaan sarana sanitasi pada kereta api eksekutif kurang baik terdapat pada reservoir yang berkarat. Pada kedua kereta kondisi sarana perpipaan sudah baik. Kuantitas pada kereta api ekonomi tidak memenuhi syarat yaitu hanya dapat memenuhi kebutuhan air bersih sebanyak 166 orang, yang seharusnya 212 orang, sedangkan untuk kereta api eksekutif kuantitas air telah memenuhi syarat. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah kualitas dan kuantitas air bersih sudah memenuhi syarat dengan kondisi baik. Keadaan sanitasi dari reservoir gerbong kereta tidak memenuhi syarat dan keadaan sanitasi toilet tidak memenuhi syarat untuk kereta api ekonomi. Saran peneliti pada PT. KAI yaitu melakukan pemeliharaan terhadap reservoir dengan melakukan pengurasan dan pembilasan secara rutin. Serta memelihara jaringan-jaringan perpipaan air bersih
