Pandemi COVID 19 sangat berdampak pada berbagai bidang kehidupan terutama di bidang kesehatan. COVID 19 sangat menular dari manusia ke manusia lainnya, sehingga proteksi amatlah penting. Membludaknya kasus ini tentu saja menimbulkan masalah terutama pengadaan alat pelindung diri (APD) bagi tenaga kesehatan (nakes) yang sangat minim. Cara menggunakan APD yang benar sangat berpengaruh terhadap angka penularan COVID 19. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengetahuan dan sikap tentang penggunaan APD pada nakes di puskesmas yang ada di wilayah Kota Cimahi. Penelitian ini melibatkan 72 nakes secara langsung dalam penanganan COVID 19 di 13 puskesmas Kota Cimahi dalam contact tracing, pengambilan sampel swab, dan penanganan pasien COVID 19 yang datang ke puskesmas. Pengetahuan nakes tentang APD menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar memiliki pengetahuan cukup baik (75%) dan sikap positif (63%). Pengetahuan yang masih kurang dipahami terutama penggunaan APD saat tatap muka pelacakan kontak, indikasi pemakaian APD, prosedur pemakaian APD level 3, dan APD pada pemeriksaan pasien dengan ISPA. Sikap yang masih perlu ditingkatkan adalah dalam pentingnya penerapan protokol kesehatan saat istirahat kerja, efektivitas proteksi penggunaan penutup sepatu, kesadaran tidak menurunkan masker ke bawah dagu saat makan, dan tetap memprioritaskan penggunaan APD yang tepat dibanding kenyamanan. Pengetahuan dan sikap merupakan faktor predisposisi yang mendorong perilaku nakes dalam penggunaan APD. Pengetahuan dan sikap yang baik berpengaruh terhadap praktik penggunaan APD yang benar diharapkan dapat memberikan perlindungan yang optimal bagi nakes.

Flash fire caused by electric arc is different than that caused by flammable liquids/fumes or combustible dusts. A suitable protective clothing for protection against electric arc-flash must be designed as per Indian weather conditions. Currently available garments are manufactured using two or three layers of woven/nonwoven combinations to achieve higher Hazard Risk Category (HRC) rating (level 3 and above). However, they are heavy and not comfortable to the end users. Savesplash® is a single layer inherent flame-retardant knitted fabric. Its arc rating was determined using ASTM standards. It achieved arc thermal performance value (ATPV) of 41 cal/cm2, breakopen threshold energy (E_BT) of 42 cal/cm2 and heat attenuation factor (HAF) of 94% when tested as per ASTM F1959/F1959M-14 which translated into an arc rating of 41 cal/cm2. This is equivalent to HRC level 4 ratings as per National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 70E standard (USA). Further, cut and sewn gloves (HM-100) developed using Savesplash® fabric reinforced with leather on palm area achieved ATPV of 63 cal/cm2 and HAF of 94.5% when tested as per ASTM F2675/F2675M-13.

The COEL database and database software, a combined reference and research tool created by historians for historians, is presented here through Screenshots illustrating the underlying theoretical model and the specific situation to which that has been applied. The key emphases are upon data integrity, and the historian's role in interpreting and manipulating what is often contentious data. From a corpus of sources (Level 1) certain core data are extracted for separate treatment at an interpretive level (Level 3), based upon a master list of the core data (Level 2). The core data are interdependent: each record in Level 2 is of interest in itself; and it either could or should be associated with an(other) record(s) as a specific entity. Sometimes the sources are ambiguous and the association is contentious, necessitating a probabilty-coding approach. The entities created by the association process can then be treated at a commentary level, introducing material external to the database, whether primary or secondary sources. A full discussion of the difficulties is provided within a synthesis of available information on the core data. Direct access to the source texts is only ever a mouse click away. Fully query able, COEL is formidable look-up and research tool for users of all levels, who remain free to exercise an alternative judgement on the associations of the core data. In principle, there is no limit on the type of text or core data that could be handled in such a system.
