Kebisingan adalah bunyi yang tidak diinginkan dari usaha atau kegiatan dalam tingkat dan waktu tertentu yang dapat menimbulkan gangguan kesehatan manusia dan kenyamanan lingkungan. Salah satunya kebisingan pada wilayah bandara yang terpancar dari gelombang suara mesin pesawat udara dan dapat mengganggu lingkungan. Menurut World Health Organization (WHO) suara bising sekeras 85 dB hanya dapat didengar secara terus menerus maksimal selama 8 jam per-hari. Setiap peningkatan suara bising sebesar 3 dB maka suara bising bertambah dua kali lipat. Suara bising dapat menjadi salah satu penyebab gangguan pendengaran (Noise Induced Hearing Loss). Penelitian ini menyajikan perencanaan mekanisme identifikasi sistem yang mencakup perencanaan skema identifikasi, pembentukan pasangan data identifikasi, dan penurunan algoritme identifikasi. Metode Extended Kalman Filter digunakan dalam mekanisme identifikasi untuk menemukan model hubungan antara komponen dominan pembentuk suara bising dengan suara bising secara keseluruhan yang kemudian dilakukan validasi terhadap model tersebut. Pengujian terhadap model dilakukan menggunakan sinyal-sinyal hasil pengukuran yang tidak diikutsertakan selama proses identifikasi. Hasil dari penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa frekuensi noise saat pesawat tinggal landas berkisar antara 50 Hz – 7000 Hz dengan model matematis spreaded continuous frequency.

The coronavirus pandemic of 2019 has increased the risk of occupational cross infections among dentists. Dental procedures are inherently risky in this scenario due to the need for close proximity with patients and generation of aerosols and splatters. Regulatory dental health bodies, including World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control, and American Dental Association, have devised guidelines for various forms Personal protective equipment for routine outpatient procedures during this pandemic and in the post-COVID-19 world. Stringent regulations are also advisable to conserve these resources at a time when the threat of COVID-19 is likely to persist indefinitely.

Background The World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a global pandemic on 11th March, 2020. In Ethiopia, more than 90,490 and 1,300 confirmed cases and deaths were reported by the Federal Ministry of Health at the time of writing up this project. As health care providers are frontline workers managing the COVID-19 pandemic, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the pooled level of knowledge, attitude, and practice towards COVID-19 among health professionals in Ethiopia. Methods PubMed, Google Scholar, Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE), Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and African Journal of Online (AJOL) were searched. The data were extracted using Microsoft Excel and analyzed using STATA version 14. Publication bias was checked by funnel plot and more objectively through Egger’s regression test, with P < 0.05 considered to indicate potential publication bias. The heterogeneity of studies was checked using I2 statistics. Pooled analysis was conducted using a weighted inverse variance random-effects model. Subgroup analysis was done related to geographic region and time. A leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was also employed. Result A total of 11 studies with 3,843 study participants for knowledge, eight studies with 2,842 study participants for attitude and 10 studies with 3, 435 study participants for practice were used to estimate the pooled level of good knowledge, positive attitude and poor practice among health professionals. The overall estimated good level of knowledge, positive attitude and poor practice towards COVID-19 was found to be 79.4% (95% CI: 73.5%-85.2%; I2 = 96%), 73.7% (95%CI: 63.09%-84.4%; I2 = 98.3%) and 40.3% (95%CI: 31.1%-49.6%; I2 = 97.1%) respectively. Conclusion Study findings showed that there were significant gaps in COVID-19 related knowledge, attitude and practice with respect to World Health Organization recommendations on COVID-19 management and personal protection practices. This study therefore recommends that institutions provide with immediate effect accurate and up-to-date information on COVID-19 and training that encourages improved knowledge, attitude and practice to mitigate this pandemic.

AbstractThere are numbers of Indonesian Youtube Videos that show steps to wear and remove Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Corona Virus Disease (COVID19). However, the conformity with the current guidelines remains unknown. This paper aims to determine the validity of these videos based on the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. We searched on the Youtube website for videos in donning and doffing PPE for droplet precaution and selected the videos using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Included videos were then evaluated with a checklist derived from WHO course on donning and doffing PPE for COVID-19 and WHO recommendation on PPE for Covid-19. The search that was undertaken resulted in 66 videos, and 40 videos were included for evaluation. There is no significant difference in the donning and doffing score between account types (personal, organizational/institutional, news). The average number of viewers of all videos is more than 2700 viewers. The average score of donning is less than 70% of the total score, and the average doffing score is under 65%. The vast majority of the videos do not follow the WHO recommendation on the PPE type and use more equipment than recommended. There are several contamination risks shown by the videos. Indonesian Youtube videos on PPE procedures for COVID-19 must be selected carefully to be used as an instructional or educational media since most of it presents a high risk of cross-contamination.Keyword: personal protective equipment, audiovisual, cross-contamination, trainingAbstrakTerdapat video dalam Bahasa Indonesia yang terkait cara memakai dan melepaskan Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) untuk Corona Virus Disease (COVID19). Namun, kesesuaian video terhadap pedoman terkini belum diketahui. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan validitas video berdasarkan pedoman World Health Organization. Kami menelusuri Youtube untuk memperoleh video instruksi mengenakan dan melepas APD pencegahan kontaminasi droplet dan menyeleksi video tersebut berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Video yang telah diseleksi kemudian dievaluasi menggunakan checklist yang diturunkan dari langkah-langkah yang ditunjukan dalam kursus APD COVID-19 yang disediakan oleh WHO, serta rekomendasi APD dari WHO. Penelusuran Youtube menampilkan 66 video, dan dipilih 40 video yang sesuai dengan kriteria kelayakan. Tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan dalam skor mengenakan dan melepaskan APD antara akun personal, organisasi/institusi, dan berita. Rata-rata jumlah penonton video adalah lebih dari 2700. Skor rata-rata pemakaian APD kurang dari 70% dari skor total, dan skor pelepasan APD kurang dari 65%. Sebagian besar video tidak mengikuti rekomendasi WHO dalam pemilihan tipe PPE dan menggunakan alat yang lebih banyak dari yang direkomendasikan. Terdapat sejumlah risiko kontaminasi yang dapat diobservasi dari langkah-langkah yang ditunjukan dalam video. Video Youtube prosedur APD untuk COVID-19 perlu diseleksi dengan cermat untuk digunakan sebagai media instruksi maupun pendidikan karena sebagian besar menunjukan risiko tinggi kontaminasi silang.Kata Kunci: alat pelindung diri, audiovisual, kontaminasi silang, pelatihan

In April 2020—only weeks after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic—the New York Times published an article titled “Why Zoom Is Terrible.” Quoting a gustatory simile from Sheryl Brahnam of Missouri State University, the article declared, “In-person communication resembles video conferencing about as much as a real blueberry muffin resembles a packaged blueberry muffin that contains not a single blueberry but artificial flavors, textures and preservatives.”1 It has been a year marked by the absence of “in-person” connection, or in the language of our field, of spatial copresence. The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally disrupted our ability to share space. Spatial copresence, it turns out, is what the coronavirus requires to spread. The virus, in this sense, is a phenomenon of the live. While technologies like Zoom have maintained our capacity for temporal copresence, the now ubiquitous status of “Zoom fatigue” points to new ways to consider spatial copresence, and by extension “liveness.”
