Ocktarini R, Prasetyo DH, Sjarifah I. 2011. Effect of herbal extract of anting-anting (Acalypha australis) on blood glucose level of Balb/C mice with induction of Streptozotocin. Biofarmasi 9: 12-16. This study was conducted to determine the effect of herbal extract of anting-anting (Acalypha australis L.) on the decrease of blood glucose level of Balb/C mice induced with Streptozotocin. This research was an experimental laboratory with pre and post-test control group design, conducted in Laboratory of Biochemistry and Histology, Faculty of Medicine, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta. The test animals used were 16 male mice, about 4-6 weeks of age with approximately 20-30 grams induced with Streptozotocin in 0.02 M citric buffer solution, and a dose of 65 mg/kg body weight. Furthermore, the mice were divided into two groups (Metformin in a dose of 1.3 mg/mice/day and herbal extract of anting-anting 1000 mg/kg BB/day) randomly, each group consisted of 8 mice. All mice were observed for GDS level after 14 days treatment period. The data obtained was processed by using the Independent-Samples T-test statistical test (unpaired t-test) with SPSS for Microsoft Windows Release 18.0. Mean of decreased GDS levels on Metformin group vs herbal extract of anting-anting (145.87 mg/dl vs 144.62 mg/dl, p=0.965). The treatment of herbal extract of anting-anting in a dose of 1000 mg/kg body weight/day could decrease blood glucose level of Balb/C mice induced with Streptozotocin that equal with Metformin.
Increasing the earth’s temperature is one of the impacts of climate change that happened in Indonesia, which can increase the risk of fire disasters that can be happened in the workplace. Hospitals have high fire risk from varied medical activities, the use of electrical equipment, kitchen parts, electricity tools, flammable, explosive, and oxidation chemicals. Nurses play an important role in the event of a disaster as an educator and responsible for the evacuation of victims, emergency relief providers to patients and visitors. This study aims to determine the correlation of fire knowledge with disaster response and preparedness practice among hospital nurses. This research is an observational analytic study with cross-sectional approaches. Respondents in this study were adult inpatient nurses in the X hospital located in Klaten, Central Java. The study used simple random sampling to select 71 respondents. This study uses questionnaires to measure nurses’ knowledge and disaster response and preparedness practice. Sommers’ D correlation test showed a significant correlation between fire knowledge and disaster response and preparedness practice with p-value=0.037 and r=0.283.
Tenaga kerja Indonesia yang bekerja di sektor formal sebesar 46,4 % dan 53,6 % bekerja di sektor informal. Sektor industri informal memiliki peran dalam menyumbang perekonomian nasional. Saat ini sektor industri informal belum memperoleh perhatian yang maksimal dari segi keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja terutama keluhan MSDs yang dirasakan oleh tenaga kerja dengan sifat pekerjaan yang repetitive. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis tingkat keluhan MSDs pada pekerja konveksi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasional analitik pendekatan cross sectional dengan subyek penelitian 32 orang pekerja konveksi perempuan di Desa Bangsri, Karangpandan. Penilaian keluhan MSDs menggunakan NBM dan postur kerj menggunakan REBA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masa kerja (0,034) dan postur kerja (0,012) berhubungan signifikan dengan keluhan MSDs. Umur, masa kerja dan postur kerja mampu menjelaskan sebesar 47,1 % terhadap keluhan MSDs dan sisanya 52,9 % dijelaskan oleh variabel lain yang tidak dimasukkan dalam penelitian ini. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah 62,5% pekerja (20 orang) mengalami keluhan MSDs tinggi dan 37,5% pekerja (12 orang) mengalami keluhan MSDs sedang. Olahraga dapat mengurangi risiko keluhan MSDs pada sekitar bahu.
Anemia is still a public health problem in the world and in Indonesia. WHO (2008) reported more than 75% of anemia in Asia is iron deficiency and 63.5% anemia in Indonesia is caused by lack of nutrition. Previous studies described that lead (Plumbum /Pb) can decrease hemoglobin levels. Sriwedari markets book sellers and Solo Wholesale Centers street vendors are susceptible populations exposed to Pb as a result of motor vehicle exhaust. Approximately 70% of Pb in vehicle exhausts emissions are emitted into the air. This study aimed to analyze the effects of Pb exposure on blood Pb concentration and hemoglobin levels. This study was a quantitative observational analytic study with cross sectional design conducted in 2015-2016 at Sriwedari Market. Samples were 97 respondents obtained through random sampling and Spearman correlation was used for data analysis. Result showed that there were association between Pb exposure in the air and blood Pb levels (p=0,000; r=0,606) and blood Pb levels and hemoglobin levels (p=0,000; r=-0,623)
