Abstract Low Back Pain (LBP) is pain in the back area between the lower ribs and lumbosacral (around the coccyx). The exact incidence of LBP in Indonesia varies from 7.6% to 37%. Cases in East Nusa Tenggara (Kupang City) for diseases of the muscle system and connective tissue show a total of 12,756 cases with a percentage of 7.3%, which ranks sixth out of 10 most diseases in Kupang City in 2018. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors associated with complaints of low back pain in weavers in South Letneo Village, Insana Barat Sub-District, Timor Tengah Utara District in 2020. This study was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sample used in this study consisted of 42 people. Data were analyzed using chi-square with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that of the four research variables studied, all of them had a relationship with complaints of low back pain. The p-value for each variable as follows: age (0,000); working period (0.001); length of work (0,000) and work posture (0.002). Weavers need to have correct work posture and do stretching to minimize the risk of LBP.
Traffic accidents are still a health problem in low-income and developing countries. Traffic accidents cause injury, trauma and death as well as property loss. There are many factors associated with traffic accidents, both human factors, vehicles, and environmental factors. One of the dominant traffic accidents occurring is an accident for a motorcycle driver. This study aims to describe the epidemiological characteristics of traffic accidents in motorbike drivers. This research is a descriptive study using a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all motorbike drivers who had an accident in the work area of the Loura Sector Police, Southwest Sumba Regency. The number of samples in this study were 81 people. The results of this study indicate that the largest proportion of those who experience traffic accidents are male respondents in the 30-34 age category. From the aspect of vehicle conditions, the number of traffic accidents experienced by respondents was the condition of the vehicle brakes not functioning (brake failure), tires that were not flat / broken, and the condition of the vehicle lights that did not turn on. From the aspect of the physical condition of the road, the incidence of traffic accidents proportionally occurs both in the environmental conditions of the road with potholes and without holes. Meanwhile, in terms of lighting conditions, more accidents occur in places with low/dark lighting conditions.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new infectious disease that has become a pandemic in all countries including Indonesia. The disease COVID-19 can be prevented by implementing health protocols recommended by the government in a disciplined manner such as wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining distance. Fish traders are one of the groups that are at risk of transmitting and spreading COVID-19 because they meet face to face with many people and the implementation of health protocols is not optimal. The purpose of this study was to describe the level of knowledge and attitudes of fish traders regarding efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 in the Kasih Market, Kupang City. This type of research is descriptive with a quantitative approach. The study population was 35 fish traders and all of them were used as research subjects (total sampling). The data analysis used was univariate. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge about the prevention of COVID-19 (77.1%) and were positive about the dangers and ways of preventing COVID-19 (88.6%). Continuous education and disciplined enforcement of health protocols are needed to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19 in the community.
Diarrhea problems due to contamination with Escherichia coli bacteria in drinking water depots have become known in Kupang City. This is supported by Telan of the 2015 study in the work area of the Oepoi Community Health Center in the city of Kupang, in which it is found that 20% of the DAMIU are contaminated with E. coli bacteria. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of the DAMIU operator, the hygiene of the DAMIU devices, the personal hygiene and the description of the bacteriological content in DAMIU in the village of Lasiana in 2019 and also the bacteriological content of drinking water in DAMIU. This research is done at DAMIU in Lasiana Village. The time of the study was carried out from January to July 2019. The population in this study was the total DAMIU in the Lasiana district, which was 21 DAMIU. This study uses a Purposive Sampling technique so that the sample of this study is 10 DAMIU families located in the Lasiana district. The results of this study show that: The total bacteriological content of E. coli that does not meet the requirements is 60% DAMIU. For the renovation of DAMIU devices that do not meet 80% of the requirement. The number of DAMIU operators with a good level of knowledge is 90%. This does not mean good criteria for DAMIU body care. The conclusion is that DAMIU in Lasiana still does not meet the requirements of both bacteriological requirements as well as device hygiene and personal hygiene of the operator. Suggestions for the health office and DAMIU owners to comply with DAMIU hygiene standards more carefully and decisively.
