Preliminary Study

AIM: This study is a preliminary study to analyze the etiology and pathophysiology of exposure to wood dust and diisocyanates in the wood processing industry in Jepara, Central Java, Indonesia. This study also provides a diagnostic evaluation of occupational asthma (OA) for ongoing exposure. METHODS: The research method was carried out with a systematic review of various previous findings and with a preliminary study of workers in the processing industry in Jepara, Indonesia. RESULTS: The results show that from a sample of 32 respondents who have been carried out in a wood processing factory in Jepara, it shows that the suspect OA in sanding workers by hand is 75%, with the distribution of signs and symptoms: Chest tightness and pain (90%); cough (53%); shortness of breath (50%); and wheezing (2%). From the signs and symptoms felt, workers felt a continuous increase (progressivity) of OA by 75%. CONCLUSION: Theoretically, this preliminary study is useful to provide information about exposure to wood dust and diisocyanates as a risk factor for OA, especially among workers in the wood industry.

Chemical Hazards

Industrial activities have to comply with protective measures. For this reason, it is essential to know the maximum allowable concentration of chemical hazards (gas, steam and dust) which can occur in the workplace. In wood industry, a large amount of wood dust is produced during the mechanical wood processing. Unless adequate measures for its removal are undertaken, there may be potential hazards for the workers’ health. The research has been carried out for purpose of determining the level of dust emission in different machines in wood processing workshops with no de-dusting system included, by measuring concentrations of wood dust produced during the processing of wooden material. Key words: wood processing, wood dust, concentration measuring

The working conditions in textile and wood processing industries have been investigated using a simple risk assessment method and questionnaires worked out for the purpose. A simple/flexible risk assessment method (beginning with a two-stage model that could be enlarged into a six-stage model) is worked out by the authors (Tint & Kiivet) and the implementation possibilities are presented. It is necessary to increase interest from the side of employers for using the method and analyzing the work environment with the aim of improvement implementations. The main complaints in textile industry are high temperature in the workroom, bad ventilation, intense work and the dependence of workers' work results from the others. The main risk factors in wood processing industry are hazardous tools and equipment, also heavy physical load, noise, wood dust and odors of chemicals originating from polishes.

Dust Separator

In order to design an ESP (electrostatic precipitator) used for the domain of wood processing, electrical resistively of Wood dust should be understand clearly. The ESP could be applied to the dust of which the specific resistance was 104~1011Ω·cm. Dust specific resistance was related with temperature, humidity, the ingredients of dust and so on. Therefore it must be firstly that the specific resistance of wood dust was researched to decide whether the electrostatic dust separator was applied in wood industry.

The number of industries in Central Java Province has experienced a significant increase, however, economic growth in the of the manufacturing sector is experiencing a slowdown. This study aims to analyze the effect of processing industry credit, working capital credit, investment credit, regional minimum wages and investment on the economic growth of the manufacturing sector in Central Java Province in 2011-2018. The data analysis technique used multiple linear regression with panel data with eviews sofware . The results showed that working capital credit has a positive and significant effect on economic growth in the of the manufacturing sector in Central Java Province in 2011-2018. The regional minimum wage has a negative and significant effect on the economic growth of the of the manufacturing sector in Central Java Province in 2011-2018. Processing industry credit, investment and investment credit not a significant on economic growth of the of the manufacturing sector in Central Java Province in 2011-2018. This research implies the need to increase working capital credit distribution and  the need to necessary to determine the ideal UMR.

Wood dust in the air will bring serious health problems if it is prolonged. Wood Dust has effect for health due to  its effect on , pulmonary function via respiratory system entrance. The aim of this study was to analyze the  association of worker characteristics and dust exposure to pulmonary function status in jumping saw division workers in wood industry Sempu, Banyuwangi. The research was observasional with cross sectional desain. Research data was obtained by giving questionnaire to respondent, measurement of dust level by using HVAS and lung physiology examination using spirometry tool. The sampel in this research was 7 workers in the part of jumping saw and 6 worker in the part of office. Data were analyzed with chi square statistical test  to analyzing the association and statistical t-test to analyzing difference  pulmonary function status between to 2 groups. The result showed that dust level in the exposure groups of jumping saw workers was 19,90 mg/m3 and non-exposure group  (office) was 0,089 mg/m3, suitable with Permenakertrans No. 13/MEN/X/2011 is 5 mg/m3. Results of lung function measurement showed that normal 15,38% and impairment 84,62%. It is concluded that no associoation between age, length of employment, smoking habit, respiratory ptotective equipment usage habit, respiratory diseases history and  dust exposure to pulmonary function status, except association between nutrion status with pulmonary function status. The company should monitor the levels of wood dust, to ensure that it does not exceed the NAB and regular lung physiological health checks.

Comprehensive Survey

Research background: Despite the fact, that green growth is one of the main goals of the European Union, a sufficient attention is still not given to it in conditions of Slovakia. The green growth represents compliance of the need to protect environment with economic development of society. So far, a comprehensive survey has not been carried out in Slovakia, which would focus on the issue of green growth and sustainable development in enterprises in the Slovak wood-processing industry. Purpose of the article: The aim of the presented paper is to identify key external and internal determinants preventing the implementation of green growth and sustainable development in enterprises in the Slovak wood-processing industry. Methods: Current information on the research issue was obtained through an empirical survey in the form of a questionnaire. Subsequently, the results were processed descriptively and graphically. Findings & Value added: The achieved results show that the key internal determinant preventing the implementation of green growth and sustainable development in enterprises in the Slovak wood processing industry is the orientation of production to the end of the production process in the context of environmental pollution. The enterprises consider insufficient state support to be the main external determinant.
