There is no relationship smoking habits (0.093), long exposureto  dust (0.057) and lung  function in workers of wooden furniture. &nbsp

The Effect of Workplace Stretching Exercise on Reducing Musculoskeletal Complaints in Ndao Ikat Weaving Workers in Rote Ndao District

Musculoskeletal complaints in Ndao weaving workers are a problem of muscle disorders for weavers. As a result of this process is a long time and repeatedly will cause musculoskeletal complaints. Workplace Stretching Exercise is designed with the principle of muscle stretching, which is an attempt to extend muscle rest or relaxation. This activity will improve blood circulation so that it helps relax nervous tension and train muscles to be stronger so they don't get tired easily while working. This study aimed to analyze the effect of workplace stretching exercises on the reduction of musculoskeletal complaints in Ndao weaving workers in Rote Ndao Regency. This is a quantitative research with a pre-experimental design type one-group pretest-posttest design method. The population in this study were active weavers in Ikat Ndao weaving, Lobalain District as many as 40 weavers. The selected research sample has met the eligibility criteria for as many as 18 active weavers. The type of analysis test used is the paired sample t-test. The results showed that there was a difference in the level of musculoskeletal complaints before the intervention was in the moderate complaint category with a percentage of 77.8% and after the WSE intervention, the complaints decreased to the low complaint category with a percentage of 66.7% with a significant decrease in value of 19.39%. The results of the analysis show that there is an effect of Workplace Stretching Exercise on the reduction of musculoskeletal complaints in Ndao tie weaving workers, where there is a large difference in value (p = 0.007 ) ≤ (0.05), so it is expected that Ndao tie weaving workers will carry out Workplace Stretching Exercise activities every day in between weaving activities to reduce musculoskeletal complaints

Respons Pertumbuhan Tanaman Jeruk Keprok Batu 55 pada Beberapa Interstock Melalui Metode Top Working

Pengembangan jeruk keprok berwarna kuning dapat dilakukan dengan menanam benih baru atau menerapkan metode top working yaitu metode mengganti suatu varietas tanaman yang ada dengan varietas baru sesuai selera konsumen. Metode top working dapat dilakukan pada batang bawah tanaman atau pada batang atas tanaman yang berfungsi sebagai batang antara atau interstock. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk mengetahui respons pertumbuhan tanaman jeruk keprok Batu 55 pada beberapa interstock melalui metode top working. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kebun Percobaan Tlekung, Balai Penelitian Tanaman Jeruk dan Buah Subtropika (Balitjestro), Batu, Jawa Timur (950 m dpl.), mulai Bulan April sampai Oktober 2012. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok dengan 10 perlakuan yaitu kombinasi antara interstock (pamelo, jeruk manis, jeruk siam, jeruk purut), dan kontrol (batang bawah Japansche Citroen) pada metode top working cara okulasi dan sambung kulit. Penelitian diulang sembilan kali. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan KB/P/JC-Ok (keprok Batu 55/interstock pamelo/Japansche Citroen-okulasi), KB/M/JC-SK (keprok Batu 55/interstock jeruk manis/Japansche Citroen-sambung kulit), dan KB/M/JC-Ok (keprok Batu 55/ interstock jeruk manis/Japansche Citroen-okulasi) menghasilkan persentase sambungan jadi 100%. Perlakuan KB/JC-Ok (keprok Batu 55/Japansche Citroen-okulasi) menghasilkan pecah tunas paling cepat, sedangkan perlakuan KB/S/JC-Ok (keprok Batu 55/ interstock jeruk siam/Japansche Citroen-okulasi) menghasilkan pertumbuhan terbaik pada pertambahan tinggi tunas dan jumlah daun. Kombinasi perlakuan interstock-top working mempunyai rasio C/N lebih tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan tanaman jeruk muda (pembanding). Hasil penelitian ini untuk memberikan rekomendasi kepada petani tentang penggunaan interstock melalui metode top working pada tanaman jeruk keprok Batu 55

Hubungan Perilaku dengan Kejadian Penyakit Demam Berdarah Dengue di Wilayah Kerja Puskemas Bakunase Kota Kupang

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through mosquito bites. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main vector. However, other species such as Aedes albopictus can also be vector transmitters. Some of the factors that influence the occurrence of DHF include low immunity status of community groups and increased mosquito population density due to the large number of breeding places in the rainy season. Currently, DHF is still a common disease and is one of the main public health problems in Indonesia. The number of cases of dengue fever in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province in 2015 was 665 cases, in 2016 as many as 1,213 cases, and in 2017 as many as 542 cases. This study aims to analyze the relationship between behavior and the incidence of dengue fever in the working area of ​​the Bakunase Health Center, Kupang City. This study was an analytic observational study with a case-control design. Data were collected in January-February 2020. The results of this study indicate that there is no significant relationship between knowledge and attitude with the incidence of DHF, while action has a significant relationship with the incidence of DHF. Community empowerment efforts related to preventive measures need to be prioritized so that the risk of DHF disease can be reduced
