The risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) can occur in a variety of occupations including in traditional jewelers. The complaint is caused by an awkward position during work activities. The study aims to identify complaints of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). This study used qualitative approach through in-depth interviews on 5 key informants and 2 key expert informants and ergonomic risk determination referring to the BRIEF method. The results showed that all informants experienced complaints of the upper neck, lower neck, right shoulder, back, right elbow, right upper arm, and right forearm. Measurements through the BRIEF sheet show that complaints on the left and right elbows, left and right shoulders, neck, and back include high category ergonomic hazards while complaints on the hands and wrists of the right include moderate category ergonomic hazards. High risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) is found at all stages of work (smelting, grinding, posturing, jewelry formation, and gilding). Therefore, workers are recommended to perform muscle relaxation for (8-12 seconds) every half hour.

This controlled, exploratory laboratory study was conducted to measure hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposures when using a bucking bar fitted with three different handles: 1) a typical plastic handle, 2) a similarly designed handle with an aluminum core and a built-in dampening spring, and 3) a steel core handle with the same built-in spring. Using two experienced machinists, tri-axial HAV exposures were measured at the bucking bar handles; small, battery-powered, self-contained Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) were used to measure the vibration transmitted through the tool operator’s left and right arms; and a wearable device worn on the operator’s right wrist estimated the HAV exposures occurring at the tool handle. The plastic handle produced the highest HAV exposures while the aluminum-spring and steel spring handles reduced exposures by 19% and 39%, respectively. On average, 74%, 65% and 40% of the tool-measured vibration was transmitted to the right hand, forearm and upper arm, respectively. The wrist mounted sensor appeared to accurately estimate HAV exposures measured at the hand-tool interface.

PURPOSE: To determine whether rocuronium would provide safe, short-term immobilization in Podocnemis expansa. METHODS: Twenty P. expansa, weighing on average 1.59 ± 0.28 kg, were subjected to two protocols: G1 0.25 mg/kg IM of rocuronium and 0.07 mg/kg IM of neostigmine, while G2 received 0.50 mg/kg IM of rocuronium and 0.07 mg/kg IM of neostigmine. The drugs were applied, respectively, in the left and right thoracic members. Assessments were made of the anesthetic parameters of respiratory frequency, heartbeat, righting reflex, cloacal relaxation, palpebral and pupilar reflexes, easy handling, muscle relaxation, locomotion, response to pain stimuli in the right thoracic members, pelvic members and tail, ambient humidity and temperature. RESULTS: They were not found statistical differences between the dosages for the majority of the assessments. G1 was as efficient as G2. A consistent neuromuscular blockade effect was recorded 12 ± 4.21 minutes in G1 and G2. All the animals were recovered in 150 minutes. CONCLUSIONS: Administration of rocuronium at dose of 0.25 to 0.5 mg/kg IM is a safe and effective adjunct to clinical proceedings or pre-anesthetics in P. expansa. Because rocuronium does not provide any analgesic or sedative effects, the duration of neuromuscular blockade without anesthesia should be minimized to avoid undue stress.

AbstractThe Tolaki tribe, which is a native who inhabits the mainland areas of Southeast Sulawesi Province, some still manage their lives through traditional natural resource management. Until now, strong traditions and traditions for preserving the environment and forests in the Tolaki ethnic group are still maintained. This custom and tradition is always inherited from generation to generation. Shifting cultivation or monda'u (Tolaki language) is the main livelihood of the Tolaki tribe. Shifting cultivation activities have astrong dependence on natural environmental conditions. The concept of monda'u for the Tolaki community is one form of institutional management of fields and forests that points to the entire process of processing land fields from land clearing to storing crops. This study was directed to find out and study the local wisdom of the Tolaki people in shifting cultivation activities (monda'u) related to disaster mitigation, especially floods, landslides and fires. The research approach used is a qualitative approach with the main data collection techniques are observation and in-depth interviews. The results of the study showed that in the monda'u institution, there was a lot of local wisdom that had been maintained for generations so that it still paid attention to the carrying capacity and sustainability of the forest. This shows that in the activities of monda'u, the Tolaki tribe has long provided education to avoid natural disasters from generation to generation. Norms related to determining the location of fields, the right time for farming, rules and procedures for opening, burning, and clearing land in the monda'u tradition are full of mitigation of natural disasters floods, landslides and fires.   AbstrakMasyarakat suku Tolaki yang merupakan penduduk asli yang mendiami wilayah-wilayah daratan Provinsi Sulawesi Tenggara, sebagian masih mengelola kehidupannya melalui pengelolaan sumber daya alam yang dilakukan secara tradisional. Hingga kini masih terpelihara kuat adat dan tradisi pemeliharaan kelestarian lingkungan dan hutan di kalangan suku bangsa Tolaki. Adat dan tradisi ini senantiasa diwariskan secara turun temurun. Perladangan berpindah atau monda’u (bahasa Tolaki) merupakan mata pencaharian hidup utama masyarakat suku Tolaki. Aktivitas perladangan berpindah memiliki ketergantungan yang kuat terhadap kondisi lingkungan alam. Konsep monda’u bagi masyarakat Tolaki merupakan salah satu wujud kelembagaan pengelolaan ladang dan hutan yang menunjuk pada keseluruhan proses aktivitas pengolahan tanah ladang mulai dari pembukaan lahan hingga penyimpanan hasil panen. Kajian ini diarahkan untuk mengetahui dan mengkaji kearifan-kearifan lokal masyarakat Suku Tolaki dalam aktivitas perladangan berpindah (monda’u) berkaitan dengan mitigasi kebencanaan, terutama bencana alam banjir, tanah longsor dan kebakaran. Penedekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data utama adalah observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada pranata monda’u, terdapat banyak kearifan lokal yang secara turun temurun dipertahankan sehingga tetap memperhatikan daya dukung dan kelestarian hutan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pada aktivitas monda’u, masyarakat suku Tolaki sudah sejak lama memberikan pendidikan menghindari bencana alam secara turun-temurun. Norma-norma yang terkait dengan penentuan letak lokasi ladang, waktu yang tepat untuk berladang, kaidah dan tata cara membuka, membakar, dan membersihkan lahan dalam tradisi monda’u sarat dengan mitigasi terhadap bencana alam banjir, longsor dan kebakaran

Education is very important in life and it can support the future. Everyone has the right to education, both formal and informal, as well as scavenger children. Based on field data, we can see that many scavenger drop out of school because they cannot afford to pay for their children's education. Although there are some scavengers who go to school, only elementary and then do not continue to a higher level. The purpose of this study is to describe the experiences of scavengers who drop out of school at the level of formal education. The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach and the type of research is descriptive because to describe the data in the field, the informants in this study were scavengers and data croschecks conducted interviews with parents and the school. Data were collected by means of in-depth interviews with informants, and documentation, data were analyzed by means of an interactive model of Mathew Milles And Huberman. The results of this study Some of the scavenging children had unfavorable experiences when they were on school benches and there were also some scavenging children who had a pleasant experience for them. Experiences that are felt to be not good for scavengers like when they are in school they get actions ostracized.

The aim of the experiment conducted by the author was to research and analyse the possibilities of leaving of latent papillae pattern prints on the skin of a dead person by natural sweat and grease substance, possibilities of transferring of them to papillae pattern prints (trace-leaving object) from other parts of the body without additional sweat and grease substance, as well as possibilities of recovery and visualization of these prints using combinations of different adhesive reagents and reagents used for their recovery. In the framework of a series of experiments 1419 latent papillae pattern prints were deposited onto the skin of 43 dead persons. 33 of them were men aged 25 to 81 years and 10 women aged 37 to 95 years. Experimental papillae pattern prints were deposited onto such parts of the body: neck, shoulders, upper arm and forearm, thigh and shin, ankles, chest, abdomen and hips. Prints were deposited by simulating the mechanism of formation of grip and pressure prints. The length of the contact was from 10 to 180 seconds. Depositing them the variable crushing force was used. After visualization and recovery of experimentally deposited latent papillae pattern prints 37 of them were recognized as valid for person identification, 66 prints contained papillae patterns, but there were not enough special features of papillae pattern to recognize them as valid for person identification. Shape of finger phalanges and palm was reflected in 202 prints, but 1114 experimentally deposited prints were not visible. The summary of the results obtained during the experiment let to conclude that the most papillae pattern prints valid for person identification were deposited onto the left and right side of the chest – 18 prints, onto the knee part of the right and the left leg – 6 prints, but onto the right and left upper arm – 3 prints. Swedish Black B-421000 and White silicone with paste hardener C-1400 (21 prints valid for person identification), Special Blower Black B-35000 and Gelatin Lifters White (FOMA) (9 prints valid for person identification), Swedish Black B-421000 and Gelatin Lifters White (FOMA) (4 prints valid for person identification were recognized as the best combinations of adhesive reagents and reagents used for recovery. The results obtained during the experiment also let to conclude that: - Microrelief of the skin (trace-perceiving object) does not always have an impact on the quality of a print; - A victim’s age and gender do not affect the quality of a print; - There is no particular proportionality between the number of deposited prints and the number of prints valid for identification.

The extended model of different forms of work satisfaction ( Büssing, 1991 ), originally proposed by Bruggemann (1974) , is suggested as a distinctive qualitative approach to work satisfaction. Six forms of work satisfaction—progressive, stabilized, resigned satisfaction, constructive, fixated, resigned dissatisfaction—are derived from the constellation of four constituent variables: comparison of the actual work situation and personal aspirations, global satisfaction, changes in level of aspiration, controllability at work. Preliminary evidence from semi-structured interviews with 46 nurses shows that the dynamic model is headed in the right direction (qualitative differentiation of consistently high propertions of satisfied employees, uncovering processes of person-work situation interaction). Qualitative methods demonstrated their usefulness in accessing underlying cognitive and evaluative processes of the forms, which are often neglected by traditional attitude-based satisfaction research.

Penelitian ini menguji teori Marx yang mengatakan bahwa dalam proses kapitalisasi, petani lahan kecil akan tergusur oleh petani lahan besar. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode Participatory Action Research (PAR). Menggunakan teknik observasi partisipasi di lapangan, studi ini melakukan wawancara mendalam terhadap petani. Analisis data yang digunakan bersifat induktif. Penelitian ini menghasilkan kesimpulan, bahwa teori Marx tidak terjadi di malar Aman. Adapun penyebab menurunnya pertanian disebabkan menurunnya unsur hara tanah, mahalnya biaya produksi, alih fungsi lahan dan perubahan cuaca. Sedangkan strategi petani lahan kecil untuk mempertahankan kehidupan yaitu melakukan pola tanam tumpang sari, melakukan pekerjaan tambahan, dan mengatur keuangan.This study examines Marx's theory which says that in the process of capitalization, small land farmers will be displaced by large land farmers. This study uses a qualitative approach with the method of Participatory Action Research (PAR). Using the techniques of participatory observation in the field, the study conducted in-depth interviews on farmers. Analysis of the data used is inductive. This study led to the conclusion that Marx's theory does not happen in Aman malar. The cause of the decline of agriculture due to declining soil nutrients, the high cost of production, land use and climate change. While the strategies of small land farmers to sustain life is to do the planting patterns of intercropping, do extra work, and manage finances.

Background In 2002, the Nepalese abortion law went from being highly restrictive to fully liberal. This study aimed to explore a local community’s perception of the situation for unmarried Nepalese women wanting to practice their legal right to abortion.Methods The study comprised a cross-sectional survey and in-depth interviews with men and women above the age of 16 years living in the Makwanpur District, Nepal. The final data included 55 questionnaires and 16 interviews. The questionnaire data was univariate analysed, while a condensation of meaning analysis was carried out on the interviews.Results The overall awareness of abortion being legal was high, although the extent of knowledge of the specific legal grounds varied. Unmarried women were believed to have access to abortion services, although they risked stigmatisation due to their marital status. The community attitude towards these women having abortions was very negative, hence it differed from the legal acceptance of all women having the right to abortion. This was explained by societal norms on premarital sexual activity. Generally, the participants felt that changing attitudes would be difficult but possible over time.Conclusion A considerable gap exists between the legal acceptance of abortion and community attitudes when it comes to unmarried women as this group encounters barriers when wanting to practice their right. Therefore, these barriers need to be addressed to allow unmarried Nepalese women access to safe abortion services without the risk of being stigmatised.One possible alternative is educational initiatives such as disseminating information vigorously through mass media to create awareness.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hprospect.v12i2.9869 Health Prospect Vol.12(2) 2013: 24-30
