NCICD is one of the national strategic programs to deal with coastal problems in Jakarta. One alternative structure to be built is WLP or known as coastal resort. As an initial step to make it happen, BAPPENAS plans to build a WLP pilot plan around the S. Cisadane estuary. One of the main considerations for designing the WLP layout is the process and pattern of sedimentation around the Cisadane estuary. Therefore, computational modeling of sediment transport around the Cisadane estuary was carried out for a period of 1 year (August 2020-July 2021). This modeling uses MIKE-21 module MIKE21/3 Integrated Models software which combines hydrodynamics and cohesive sediment transport models. Based on the results of this modeling, it is known that there are differences in sediment transport patterns in the west and east monsoons. During 1 year, changes in the thickness of the bottom sediment around the estuary of S. Cisadane ranged from -0.4 to 0.7 m with a mean of 0.086 m. Coastal reservoir design must take into the very dynamic sedimentation process around the Cisadane estuary.   Pengembangan Terpadu Pesisir Ibukota Negara (PTPIN) merupakan salah satu program strategis nasional untuk menangani permasalahan pesisir di Jakarta. Salah satu alternatif struktur yang akan dibangun adalah WLP atau dikenal sebagai coastal reservoir. Sebagai langkah awal mewujudkannya BAPPENAS merencanakan membangun pilot plan WLP di sekitar muara S. Cisadane. Salah satu pertimbangan utama untuk mendesain layout WLP adalah proses dan pola sedimentasi di sekitar muara Cisadane. Oleh karena itu dilakukan pemodelan komputasi transpor sedimen di sekitar muara Cisadane selama kurun waktu 1 tahun (Agustus 2020-Juli 2021). Pemodelan ini menggunakan software MIKE-21 module MIKE21/3 Integrated Models yang menggabungkan model hidrodinamika dan transpor sedimen kohesif. Berdasarkan hasil pemodelan ini diketahui bahwa terdapat perbedaan pola transpor sedimen di musim barat dan musim timur. Selama 1 tahun, perubahan ketebalan sedimen dasar di sekitar muara S. Cisadane berkisar -0,4-0,7 m dengan rerata 0,086 m. Pola sedimentasi yang sangat dinamis harus mendapatkan perhatian khusus dalam merancang waduk lepas pantai.

Latar Belakang: Kebisingan lingkungan kerja merupakan stresor penyebab stres kerja pada tenaga kerja. Stres kerja menyebabkan kenaikan tekanan darah yang menjadi penyebab hipertensi.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh tidak langsung antara kebisingan terhadap tekanan darah melalui variabel mediator stres kerja.Metode: Penelitian dilakukan secara observasional analitik melalui pendekatan cross-sectional, pada populasi pekerja perempuan yang terpapar kebisingan lingkungan kerja di industri tekstil. Jumlah subjek penelitian sebanyak 139 orang yang diambil secara random. Uji statistik menggunakan model analisis jalur yang dihitung menggunakan software AMOS versi 22.Hasil: Rerata skor variabel stres kerja = 22,1 point, tekanan darah sistolik = 131,7 mmHg dan diastolik = 88,1 mmHg. Pada model analisis jalur dihasilkan ada hubungan langsung antara kebisingan dengan stres kerja (kenaikan 1 point kebisingan meningkatkan 0,5 point skor stres kerja), dan ada hubungan tidak langsung antara kebisingan dengan tekanan darah melalui variabel mediator stres kerja (kenaikan kebisingan 1 point secara tidak langsung meningkatkan tekanan darah, masing-masing adalah sistolik sebesar 1,8 point dan diastolik sebesar 0,8 point).Kesimpulan: Ada hubungan positif secara tidak langsung antara kebisingan dengan tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik melalui stres kerja sebagai variabel mediator.

Dermatitis kontak iritan (DKI) dapat diderita oleh semua orang dari berbagai golongan umur, ras dan jenis kelamin. Jumlah penderita DKI diperkirakan cukup banyak terutama yang berhubungan dengan pekerjaan (DKI akibat kerja), namun dikatakan angkanya secara tepat sulit diketahui. Hal ini disebabkan antara lain oleh banyaknya penderita dengan kelainan ringan tidak datang berobat, atau bahkan tidak mengeluh. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh paparan zat pewarna batik terhadap kejadian dermatitis kontak iritan pada pekerja batik di Surakarta. Penelitian menggunakan jenis observasional analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Populasi penelitian adalah pekerja batik di industri batik “Mahkota” dan “Merak Manis” di Surakarta. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan consecutive sampling. Jumlah sampel 40 orang dengan kriteria masa kerja mimimal 1 tahun dan umur minimal 20 tahun. Pengambilan data penelitian dilakukan pada tanggal 4 Mei 2018. Alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuesioner dermatitis kontak iritan dan checklist. Variabel umur, masa kerja, dan pemakaian alat pelindung tangan digunakan kuesioner lembar isian data. Analisis data menggunakan Chi Square Test dengan perhitungan menggunakan software SPSS versi 23, pada taraf signifikansi 5%. Faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan dermatitis kontak iritan pada pekerja batik adalah paparan zat pewarna (p=0,007), pemakaian alat pelindung diri (p=0,024), masa kerja (p=0,044), umur (X2=0,048), dan jenis kelamin (p=0,112). Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah ada hubungan paparan zat pewarna batik terhadap kejadian dermatitis kontak iritan pada pekerja batik di Surakarta secara signifikan (X 2 = 7,376; p = 0,007; OR = 6,78; CI95%: 1,59 – 28,86).

Purpose: This study aims to determine the role of village funds in improving community welfare. Village funds are funds sourced from the APBN (State Budget and Expenditure) allocated to villages which are transferred through the district/city regional budget. According to applicable regulations, these funds must be used properly, such as to finance government administration, conduct development, community development, and empowerment. Design/methodology/approach: The research uses a quantitative descriptive research methods. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires to several villages in West Bandung Regency and conducting interviews with related parties at the local Community Empowerment Service. Findings: The results of this study indicate that the management of village funds has an effect on improving community welfare. In general, the management of village funds in the West Bandung Regency has been managed in a transparent and accountable manner and involves community participation. Paper type: Research paper

Noise is a stressor for hearing loss among workers. Unfortunately, hearing loss also affect worker’s quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between hearing loss and quality of life among workers in textile industry. The study design was a cross-sectional survey.  The study population were 200 workers exposed to the noisy textile industry. The data were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The findings showed a significant relationship between hearing loss and the quality of life of the workers (rs=-0.698; p=0.000). The dimensions of quality of life associated with hearing loss were the Physical Functioning (rs=-0.493; p=0.000), Role-Physical (rs=-0.501; p=0.000), Bodily Pain (rs=-0.516; p=0.000), General Health (rs=-0.497; p=0.000), Vitality (rs=-0.527; p=0.000), Social Functioning (rs=-0.521; p=0.000), Role-Emotional (rs=-0.521; p=0.000), and Mental Health (rs=-0.517; p=0.000). This study concludes that hearing loss decreases the quality of life among workers exposed to the noise of the textile industry.

A safe and comfortable human life could be achieved by controlling the work environment so that the release of energy that is harmful to human health can be avoided. Noise often arises from an uncontrolled work environment and currently, more than 600 million people are exposed worldwide. Increased cortisol levels were one indicator stress-inducing of the occurrence of health effects because the worker's body is exposed to noise. If left longer it could increase sugar levels and cause diabetes mellitus. This study aims to analyze the effect of noise exposure on increasing blood cortisol levels and blood sugar levels in garment workers. This type of research was an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The respondents were chosen by using a stratified random sampling method and the total amount of respondents with a mean difference formula. As many as 75 people became respondents after being counted using the mean difference formula and chosen by the stratified random sampling method. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Pearson Correlation. The results showed that respondents who exposed to noise above the threshold limit value had higher average blood cortisol levels compared to other respondents (p<0,000). Furthermore, an increase in blood cortisol levels was also positively correlated with an increase in blood sugar levels (r=0,898; p=0,000). Therefore, workers must be disciplined in using personal protective equipment.

Noise intensity is a dangerous stressor in the working environment of the textile industry that can have an impact on the decrease in hearing loss of workers. The decrease in hearing loss will disrupt the workers’ activities in their daily work. Textile industry workers exposed to noise while working every day will potentially be affected by a decrease in hearing loss. Activities that are constantly exposed to noise intensity can also result in a decrease in the quality of workers’ life. This research was conducted to prove the correlation between noise intensity and quality of life through hearing loss using path analysis. Path analysis can explain the correlation between variables indirectly. The research method was used namely analytic survey with the cross-sectional design. The population of the study was workers in 5 textile industries in Central Java Province, Indonesia. The number of subjects was determined based on purposive sampling, each industry was 40 people thus, and the total number was 200 people. The correlation was included independent variables namely noise intensity, work period and age; the mediator variable was a loss of hearing loss, and the dependent variable was quality of life. Path analysis was used as the statistical analysis with Stata 13 software at a significance level of 5%. The research results showed that there was a direct correlation between hearing loss and decreased the quality of life of workers (p = 0.026). The decrease in the quality of workers’ life was also influenced indirectly by noise intensity (p = 0.000) and age (0.012). The working period did not affect the decrease in quality of life (p = 0.210). Increased noise intensity can reduce hearing loss that decreases the quality of life.
