BACKGROUND: The housefly, Musca domestica L., spreads disease by contaminating food. However, chemical insecticides used to combat houseflies can pollute the environment and can harm non-target insects and humans; this demands safer alternatives and pest control options. AIM: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Piper betle L. leaf extract as a bio-pesticide against houseflies. METHODS: This study using a factorial design with six variations in concentration (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%), four variations in contact time (15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes), and 5-day-old M. domestica adults that were bred from residential areas. RESULTS: The results show that mortality was affected by concentration (p-value < 0.000), contact time (p-value < 0.000), and the interaction between concentration and contact time (p-value = 0.0007). Of the three, concentration had the greatest effect. CONCLUSION: As such, the use of Piper betle L. extract is a suitable, cheap, and environmentally safe method for controlling M. domestica.
Photoreactivation Risk on Microbiological Quality of Drinking Water Refills in Bandar Lampung City. Photoreactivation is a direct process of repairing a damaged DNA with the help of ultraviolet in the range of 320-370 nm. Research is designed to acknowledge the effect of time exposure and UV vis ray's intensity to numbers of Coliforms and E.coli. The results prove the effect of UV exposure time on the increase of coliform which is 60,2% (p-value=0,0001). The increase of coliform happens after 180th minutes of exposure. But, in this research there is no effect of UV's intensity towards both numbers of coliform (p-value = 0,152) and E.Coli (pvalue=0,578). Besides buying a refilled mineral water from a water depot whose disinfecting with UV ray and ozone combined, closing the gallon of mineral water since the first day being used to avoid being exposed by UV vis ray from the sun is a must-do to avoid photoreactivation process. Keywords:Coliform, E.coli, Photoreactivation, UV vis Abstrak: Risiko Fotoreaktivasi terhadap Kualitas Mikrobiologi Air Minum Isi Ulang di Kota Bandar Lampung. Fotoreaktivasi merupakan proses perbaikan DNA yang rusak secara langsung dengan bantuan sinar ultraviolet dalam rentang 320-370 nm. Penelitian dirancang untuk mengetahui pengaruh waktu pemaparan dan intensitas sinar UV vis terhadap jumlah Coliform dan E.coli. Hasil penelitian membuktikan adanya pengaruh waktu pemaparan sinar UV vis terhadap peningkatan jumlah Coliform yaitu sebesar 60,2% (p-value=0,0001). Peningkatan jumlah Coliform terjadi setelah menit ke-180 pemaparan. Namun, pada penelitian ini tidak terdapat pengaruh intensitas sinar UV vis terhadap jumlah Coliform (p-value=0,152) maupun E.coli (pvalue=0,758). Selain membeli air minum isi ulang dari depot air minum yang melakukan proses desinfeksi dengan kombinasi sinar UV dan ozon, menutup galon air minum sejak pertama digunakan agar tidak terpapar sinar UV vis dari matahari merupakan upaya yang harus dilakukan untuk menghindari proses fotoreaktivasi. Kata kunci: Coliform, E.coli, Fotoreaktivasi, UV visHasil Riskesdas tahun 2013 mendapatkan bahwa proporsi rumah tangga di Indonesia yang memiliki akses terhadap sumber air minum sebesar 66,8%, yaitu membeli air kemasan atau isi ulang (30,7%), sumur gali terlindung (22,5%), PDAM (13,5%), sumur bor (12,8%), mata air terlindung (7,6%), penampungan air hujan (2,9%), dan sumber air tidak sehat (10%). Pada kelompok yang membeli air kemasan atau isi ulang, proporsi masing-masing sebesar 9,7% dan 21%. Data ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan air minum isi ulang merupakan proporsi terbesar setelah sumur gali terlindung.Air minum isi ulang diproduksi di depot air minum. Depot air minum adalah badan usaha yang mengelola air minum untuk keperluan masyarakat dalam bentuk curah dan tidak dikemas (Kemenkes RI, 2010).Proses pengolahan air minum yang dilakukan di depot air minum melalui dua tahap, yaitu penyaringan dan desinfeksi (Deperindag, 2004). Ada tiga metode yang sering digunakan pada proses desinfeksi air minum, yaitu metode sinar ult...
<p>Environmental-based diseases (PBL) are a health problem and occur in almost all geographical regions in the world. Every year, environment-based diseases are always found and reported to spread evenly at every Puskesmas in Bandar Lampung City. Settlement sanitation is an important aspect directly related to health and society. "Waterborne Disease" disease is still high, proving that there are still sanitation problems in settlements. The study aims to determine the relationship of settlement sanitation with environmental-based diseases in the city of Bandar Lampung. The study used a cross-sectional design, the population is all households in Bandar Lampung City. The sample was 384 respondents, taken randomly using multistage sampling. The results found 14,3% of respondents had a physical component of an unhealthy house, 45,3% of respondents had an unhealthy sanitation facility, 40,1% of the occupants of the house behaved in an unhealthy manner. The test results statistically concluded that there was a significant relationship between settlement sanitation and the incidence of environmental-based diseases.</p>
Latar belakang: Indonesia, bahkan dunia masih memikili masalah kesehatan serius yaitu diare, kasusnya meningkat dari tahun 2016-2018. Distribusi kasus di Kabupaten Lampung Selatan terbanyak pada Desa Taman Sari Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Penengahan. STBM dinyatakan sebagai proyek yang dapat membawa perubahan besar terhadap kejadian diare. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui determinan diare berdasarkan pilar STBM.Metode: penelitian ini dilakukan dengan rancangan cross sectional. Populasi adalah penduduk Desa Taman Baru Kecamatan Penengahan Kabupaten Lampung Selatan berjumlah 267 kepala keluarga (KK), dan semuanya dijadikan objek penelitian. Pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dan pengamatan menggunakan instrumen yang merujuk pada instrumen Kemenkes RI. Data dianalisa secara bivariat dengan chi square. Pengolahan dan analisa data menggunakan program komputer.Hasil: masyarakat telah memiliki pengetahuan yang baik tentang STBM, akan tetapi belum diterapkan dengan benar. Pemaparan yang dilakukan petugas belum memberikan dampak terhadap penurunan angka diare. Hal ini dapat diasumsikan bahwa informasi yang disampaikan oleh petugas tidak sampai kepada masyarakat. Metoda penyampaian yang kurang tepat atau model pemberdayaan masyarakat yang kurang menyebabkan masyarakat tidak tergugah untuk melakukan perubahan perilaku hidup sehat.Simpulan: faktor dominan yang berhubungan dengan diare adalah penerapan pilar STBM. Perlu dilakukan strategi promosi kesehatan untuk penerapan pilar STBM dan peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pencegahan diare. Penelitian lanjutan dapat dilakukan berkaitan dengan model yang tepat dan efektif dalam penyampaian informasi kepada masyarakat dengan dukungan tokoh masyarakat. ABSTRACT Title: Determinants Of Diarrhea Based On Pillars Of Total Community-Based SanitationBackground: Diarrhea remains a health problem around the world, including in Indonesia. Cases increased from 2016 to 2018. The distribution of cases in South Lampung district is mainly in Taman Sari village, the working area of Puskesmas Penengah. STBM is considered a program that could make a big difference in diarrhea incidence. This study aimed to identify determinants of diarrhea according to the STBM pillars.Method: the research was conducted with a cross-sectional design. The population is 267 families who are residents of Taman Baru Village, and all of them are used as the research object. Data were collected through interviews and observations using instruments referencing the instruments of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. Data were analyzed by chi-square statistical test using a computer application.Result: research shows that people have good knowledge about STBM, but it has not been implemented properly. The officer's exposure has not had an impact on reducing diarrhea rates. It can be assumed that the information submitted by the officers did not reach the public. Inappropriate delivery methods or community empowerment models that are less likely to cause people to not be moved to make changes to healthy living behaviorConclusion: the dominant factor associated with diarrhea is the implementation of the STBM pillar. There is a need to implement health promotion strategies to implement the STBM pillars and increase public awareness of diarrhea prevention. With the support of community leaders, further research can be conducted on appropriate and effective modalities for providing information to the public.
Pesticide poisoning is still an important health problem in agricultural areas, especially horticultural agriculture. Various chronic health effects can be caused by long-term exposure to pesticides. This study aims to determine the risk factor of pesticide poisoning in horticultural farmers in West Lampung Regency. The study used a cross sectional design which was conducted in four different areas as the center of horticulture agriculture, West Lampung Regency, Lampung Province. The study involved 289 participants by interviewing, observing and examining blood samples to measure cholinesterase levels as an indicator of pesticide poisoning. In this section, we have applied research ethical procedures. The obtained data were analyzed using Chi squre test, Odds Ratio test and Logistic Regression. The results showed that the risk factors for pesticide poisoning were incomplete use of personal protected equipment (PPE), spraying with the wrong dose and spraying frequency. Unwearing a complete PPE had a 4.54 times (OR = 4.54; 95% CI 2.09-9.83) higher risk of experiencing pesticide poisoning, and statistically suggested, a very significant relationship (p-value = 0.0001). While the use of excessive dosage has a risk of 4.39 times (OR = 4.39; 95% CI 1.87-10.33; p-value = 0.001); and the frequency of spraying more than twice a week had a 2.33 times higher risk of experiencing pesticide poisoning (OR = 2.33; 95% CI 1.24-4.40; p-value = 0.009). Excessive use of pesticide dosage and the frequency of spraying with the cover blanked method are the main factors of pesticide exposure to farmers. On the other hand, the use of PPE is a method of protection from exposure. It needs joint efforts through increasing knowledge about the dangers of pesticides, pesticide management, how to work safely, and the use of PPE.
