The current COVID-19 pandemic has affected many countries, including Indonesia. Many parties, including educational institutions, have to deal with pandemic conditions. This paper aims to describe how the academic institution, Jenderal Soedirman University, is handling the pandemic situation. Various activities led by the COVID-19 Unsoed Task Force undertook several efforts to respond to the pandemic, such as conducting active supervision for all academics, mentoring teams, educating, conducting real work lecture programs, and forming COVID-19 joint volunteer teams. During data monitoring, several activities were completed such as handling patients in surveillance, tracking, and follow-up. Other efforts in the education field were also carried out to keep running the activity, but with a joint security procedure COVID-19 as well as several policies set such as changing the way of teaching to be online. Best possible efforts have been made by the university to respond to the pandemic quickly and effectively.

Introduction: Online motorcycle taxi drivers spend most of their time outside as either driving or waiting for their customers. Therefore, chances of exposure to various air pollutants are higher and may cause various health problems, especially the respiratory problems. Methods: This is a descriptive study that used the Environmental Health Risk Analysis method to estimate the Risk Quotient (RQ) from exposure to PM10, SO2, CO, O3, and NO2 in drivers. The RQ was calculated based on exposure concentrations from the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Environment Agency; daily working hours, working days in a year, and working period obtained from interviews; additionally, body weight measurement, reference concentration (RfC), and the default value of inhalation intake were also collected. The population of this study was adult online motorcycle taxi drivers who operate around areas which become the air quality measurement stations in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta with a total sample of 81 people. Results and Discussion: The RQ for all minimum, average, and maximum concentrations of SO2, CO, and NO2 were <1. While for the average and maximum concentrations of PM10 and the maximum concentration of O3, the RQ was >1. The safe concentrations, work duration, and the number of working days also surpassed the maximum safety limit levels. Conclusion: PM10 and O3 ambient exposures are categorized unsafe for drivers. Environmental health efforts are necessary to reduce the concentration of air pollutants, and the guidelines to reduce pollutants exposure should be provided for drivers.

This study assessed seasonal and annual variations as well as the health risks associated with exposure to PM2.5, PM10, and SO2 in the ambient air of Tehran from 2019 to 2021. The findings revealed that the average annual concentration of PM2.5, PM10, and SO2 varied from 28.24 to 32.34 µg/m3, 69.57 to 82.22 µg/m3, and 14.94 to 17.98 µg/m3, respectively. The amounts of PM2.5 and SO2 were the greatest in the west and southwest, while PM10 was the most abundant in the east and northeast which were above WHO guidelines. In exposure duration scenarios of 8 and 12 hours, the mean hazard quotient (HQ) for PM2.5 and PM10 was >1, suggesting an unacceptable risk to human health. There was no risk to human health according to the mean HQ for SO2 at all exposure periods of 3, 8, and 12 hours. Further evidence that exposure time plays a significant part in health hazards was provided by the fact that the mean HQ values of exposure to PM2.5 and PM10 in exposure times of 3 hours were both <1. The Sobol sensitivity analysis revealed that the PM2.5 concentration in HQ was the most sensitive indicator of the populace.
