Mild Cognitive Impairment Associated with Pesticides use Among Vegetable
Farmers and Their Wives in Sukorambi Village Jember Regency
- Authors: Rosidah Fidiyaningrum, Anita Dewi Prahastuti Sujoso, Reny Indrayani
  Abstract: Introduction: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), according to several studies, has been discovered to be related to exposure to pesticides. Sukorambi Village is the largest vegetable producer village in Jember Regency and pesticides are used in the vegetable cultivation process. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the age of vegetable farmers and the frequency of pesticide spraying with the incidence of MCI and to analyze differences in the incidence of MCI in farmers and their wives. Methods: This research is an analytical research with a cross-sectional design which was carried out in Sukorambi Village, from June to December 2022. The samples of this research are 142 people, obtained from a proportional stratified random sampling technique and represented groups of farmers in each hamlet. In this case, the research variables include age, frequency of pesticide spraying, as well as the incidence of MCI in vegetable farmers and their wives. Data were further collected through direct interviews, which were then analyzed through bivariate analysis using Spearman and paired t tests. Results: The results showed that the majority of vegetable farmers were above 55 years old and most of them sprayed pesticides for 3-4 and 5-6 times a month. Most farmers and their wives experience MCI. Conclusion: The farmer's age and the frequency of spraying pesticides are related to the incidence of MCI in farmers. There is a significant difference between the incidence of MCI in vegetable farmers and their wives, where MCI is more experienced by vegetable farmer wives.

Hypoxia and Time of Useful Consciousness in Hypobaric Chamber at 25,000
- Authors: Nabila Tita Azalia Putri, Pritha Maya Savitri, Melly Kristanti, Agneta Irmarahayu Irawan
  Abstract: Introduction: Hypoxia is a condition characterized by insufficient oxygen supply to tissues which causes body tissues to fail to get adequate oxygen supply. Hypobaric hypoxia is generally recognized as the most serious physiological hazard during high-altitude flight. This puts active crew members at risk for hypoxia and so they rely on effective performance time (EPT) or time useful consciousness (TUC) to take appropriate corrective and protective actions when hypoxia occurs. This study aimed to describe TUC scores and hypoxia symptoms experienced by active flight crew at dr. Saryanto Health Institute of Aeronautics and Space in 2021. Methods: A descriptive research design using medical record data from 99 flight crew with simple random sampling. The variables in this study consisted of hypoxia symptoms and TUC scores. This study uses univariate analysis to see the frequency distribution of the variables of hypoxia symptoms and TUC score. Results: The results showed that 18.2% experienced cognitive symptoms, 4% experienced psychomotor symptoms, 16.2% experienced visual symptoms, 3% experienced psychological symptoms, 54.5% experienced non-spesific symptoms, and 37.4% did not feel any symptoms. Most of the flight crew (68.7%) had sufficient EPT/TUC scores (3-4 minutes). Conclusion: Active flight crews feel symptoms of hypoxia and have sufficient TUC scores.

The Effect of Using Earmuffs on Hearing Loss Complaints and Subjective
Stress: A Quasi-Experimental Study among Weaving Workers in Surakarta,
Indonesia
- Authors: Haris Setyawan, Isna Qadrijati, Ratna Fajariani, Ratih Andika Akbar Rahma, Tofan Agung Eka Prasetya
  Abstract: Introduction: Noise pollution from machine operations is one of industry's long-standing issues, especially in the textile manufacturing industry. High noise levels produced by weaving machine operation can harm employees' health, most notably hearing loss and stress at work. Since 1975, IT Co. Ltd., one of the biggest textile corporations in Surakarta, Indonesia, has struggled to find a solution to the issue of excessive noise, particularly in the weaving manufacturing facility. This study aims to determine the effect of employing earmuffs as a type of intervention to alleviate hearing loss complaints and subjective stress on weaving workers who are exposed to high-intensity noise. Methods: A time series design was used in this quasi-experimental study. This study’s participants were divided into 2 groups. The first group was weaving workers who used earmuffs as ear protection (Intervention Group), and the second group did not use earmuffs (Control Group). Data collection was carried out for 6 working days to see whether there was a significant effect of using earmuffs on hearing loss complaints and subjective stress. Results: From the second to the sixth day, using earmuffs as ear protection did not significantly reduce hearing loss complaints. However, it showed significant findings that increased the average score of subjective stress. Conclusion: Using earmuffs should protect the ears from noise exposure and its effects on workers' health. However, it has been shown that using earmuffs can increase the average score of hearing loss complaints and subjective stress.

Risk Analysis of Work Posture and Body Mass Index to Musculoskeletal
Disorders among Librarians at Universitas Airlangga
- Authors: Adellian Nugraha, Noeroel Widajati, Ng Yee Guan, Eka Cahya Febriyanto, Nurul Dewi Oktavia
  Abstract: Introduction: Potential ergonomic hazards at work can lead to complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The Global Burden of Disease estimated that, by 2019, there were about 1.71 billion people in the world living with musculoskeletal problems. One of the jobs that has this risk is librarians because their jobs are dominated by static postures. This study aims to determine the correlation between work posture and body mass index (BMI) with MSDs complaints among librarians at Universitas Airlangga. Methods: This study is an analytical observational research with a cross-sectional design. The sample of this study consists of the total population of librarians at Universitas Airlangga that met the inclusion criteria, totaling 28 librarians. Primary data were obtained through the direct distribution of questionnaires to librarians, observations of work posture and musculoskeletal complaints in librarians. The data in this study were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. Results: The research results showed that the level of mild MSDs complaints was reported by 7 librarians (25.0%), moderate complaints by 13 librarians (46.4%), and severe complaints by 8 librarians (28.6%). The statistical test results indicate a strong and positive correlation between work posture and MSDs complaints (r = 0.444), while a weak and positive correlation was found between BMI)(r = 0.222) and years of service (r = 0.158) with musculoskeletal disorders complaints. Conclusion: This study concludes that librarians in high-risk work postures may experience musculoskeletal disorders complaints, especially in the neck, shoulders, and back areas.

Characteristics, Exercise Habits, and Work Stress'
- Authors: Pindi Dwi Irwansyah, Shintia Yunita Arini, Endang Dwiyanti, Dominikus Raditya Atmaka, Bian Shabri Putri Irwanto
  Abstract: Introduction:Emotional eating is a person's response to stress or inadequate and ineffective stress coping and is shown by the behavior of eating more than needed and is associated with increased body weight. Emotional eating is caused by age, gender, exercise habits, and work stress. Based on the observations carried out at Kalla Group Office, employees tend to work in a monotonous and static manner that has the potential to increase the risk of emotional eating. The aim of this research is to determine the strength and weakness of the correlation between age, gender, exercise habits, and work stress with emotional eating in Kalla Head Office workers. Methods: This quantitative research was carried out through analytical observational design. The number of samples taken is 133 people using purposive sampling. In this case, the independent variables measured are age, gender, exercise habits, and work stress. Meanwhile, the dependent variable studied is the level of emotional eating using "The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire of 13 items (DEBQ-13)". Data were further analyzed using Spearman correlation coefficient test (Spearman rho). Results: The research results show varied relationship with the independent variables including age (r = 0.052), gender (r = 0.251), exercise habits (r = -0.128), and stress (r = 0.048). Conclusion: Age is a variable that has the weakest relationship, while gender has the strongest relationship with emotional eating compared to the variables exercise habits and work stress.

Work Fatigue among Women Fish Processors on the South Coast of Jember
District, Indonesia
- Authors: Ana Islamiyah Syamila, Isa Ma'rufi
  Abstract: Introduction: Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) problems need to be addressed because the cause of the high number of work accidents is work fatigue. One of the factors that causes work fatigue is workload. Coastal women, who are identified as a marginal group with a low level of education, have a large role in fishing households and have a high workload. This research aims to analyze work fatigue based on workload. Methods: This research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The respondents involved were fishermen's wives who lived in the research locus (Puger District). The number of respondents in this study was 75 people using proportional stratified random sampling techniques. The quantitative data collected include sociodemographic factors, namely demographic factors (age and body mass index) and work factors (work period, workload, and work climate), as well as work fatigue factors. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and measurements. The data in this study were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient test which was presented in table form accompanied by narrative. Results: The results show that 44.0% have a level of heavy work fatigue. The risk factors of age, working time, and workload have a significant relationship with work fatigue at work. Body mass index (BMI) and work climate were not significantly related to work fatigue. Conclusion: The high workload of women fish processors causes a lot of work fatigue, so it requires attention from industry owners to manage working time.
