The White-Bellied Planthopper (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) Infesting Corn Plants in South Lampung, Indonesia. Corn plants in South Lampung were infested by newly-found delphacid planthoppers. The planthopper specimens were collected from heavily-infested corn fields in Natar area, South Lampung. We identified the specimens as the white-bellied planthopper Stenocranus pacificus Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), and reported their field population abundance.
The integration of educational technology is one of the necessary ways to improve the competence of qualified graduates. This study aims to create an integration of website learning model to improve the quality of students. The Current Study Provided does not indicate the incorporation of existing websites so that students are less aware of the benefits of this lesson. The Participants of this study were lecturers, undergraduate and postgraduate students and educational practitioners throughout Indonesia using online form. Methods Data collection used is direct interview and online survey and needs analysis using waterfall method. The results obtained show the merging of learning that will lead to the needs in the industry era 4.0. This study resulted in a complete innovative learning incorporation as required by Policy Makers.
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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
