Faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Indeks Populasi Lalat pada Tempat Penampungan Sementara (TPS) Sampah di Pasar Kota Malang dan Kota Batu

Abstract: The temporary shelter of garbage in the market is an ideal location for the life of flies. The temperature and humidity of the air in the temporary shelters support the increasing fly population in the market. The increasing population of flies is feared to contaminate food and drinks sold in the market. This is because flies are mechanical vectors for various pathogenic microorganisms that can endanger human health. This study uses a survey method with a cross-sectional approach. Temperature and humidity were measured using an android-based application, while the fly population was measured using a flygrill. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Correlation test to see the correlation between the average temperature and average humidity with the fly population index. The results of this study indicate that there is no correlation between the average temperature and the fly population index. There is a correlation between the average humidity in the afternoon and the Flies Population Index in the morning. The correlation between the two is a strong negative. Abstrak: Tempat penampungan sementara sampah pasar merupakan lokasi yang ideal bagi kehidupan lalat. Suhu dan kelembaban udara yang ada di tempat penampungan sementara mendukung meningkatnya populasi lalat di pasar. Meningkatnya populasi lalat dikhawatirkan akan mengkontaminasi makanan dan minuman yang dijual di pasar. Hal tersebut dikarenakan lalat merupakan vektor mekanik bagi berbagai mikroorganisme patogen yang dapat membahayakan kesehatan manusia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan pendekatan cross Sectional. Suhu dan kelembaban diukur dengan menggunakan aplikasi berbasis android, sedangkan populasi lalat diukur dengan menggunakan fly grill. Data dianalisis dengan uji Pearson Correlation untuk melihat korelasi antara suhu rata-rata dan kelembaban rata-rata dengan indeks populasi lalat. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan tidak terdapat korelasi suhu rata-rata dengan indeks populasi lalat. Terdapat korelasi antara kelembaban rata-rata pada waktu sore hari dengan Indeks Populasi Lalat pada waktu pagi hari. Hubungan korelasi di antara keduanya bersifat negatif kuat.

Background: Musculoskeletal complaints have been common for dentists since their body is unknowingly often in inappropriate positions when caring for patients. For example, they bend towards patients, suddenly move, and then rotate from one side to another. The repetitive movements are done in long term. High activities and sufficient recovery time can cause a buildup of lactic acid in their blood leading to obstruction of the energy intake from the aerobic system in their muscle cells, resulting in fatigue. As a result, such conditions trigger decreased muscle performances. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the correlation between working positions and lactic acid levels with the risk of musculoskeletal disorders among dentists at Public Health Centers in Surabaya. Method: This research was an analytical observational research using cross sectional approach. Sampling technique used in this research was cluster random sampling with nineteen samples. To evaluate the working positions of those samples, a rapid entire body assessment (REBA) method was used. Meanwhile, to observe the musculoskeletal disorders of those samples, a Nordic body map was used. Data obtained then were analyzed using Pearson correlation test with a significance level (p<0.05). Result: Results of data analysis using the Pearson correlation test showed that the significance value obtained was 0.036. It indicates that there was a correlation between the working positions and the lactic acid levels with the musculoskeletal disorders in those dentists. The results of the Pearson correlation test also revealed that there was a correlation between the working positions and the lactic acid levels among those dentists with a significance value of 0.025. Conclusion: It may be concluded that the wrong body positions during working can increase lactic acid level in the body of dentists. The increased level of lactic acid then can affect their muscles, leading to the high risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
