Environmental Sanitation

The prevalence use and handling of plastics have become a global menace to the environment. This menace has even led to a national discourse on banning plastics in Ghana. The plastic waste situation seems to be an oblivious less concerned by some Ghanaian sculptors, engineers and scientists on its artistic exploration and contribution to the quota of environmental sanitation in Ghana. However, having identified the artistic qualities of plastics, this article seeks to transform plastic waste into art by exploring and analysing non-biodegradable polyethylene as a viable and unconventional material for sculpture. The focus of this studio-based research employed the Praxis with arts-based recycling approach as technique and procedures to create a bust from plastic waste as a means of establishing its viability as an unconventional material for sculpture. It was established from the outcome of the research that plastics as non-biodegradable material should not be seen as an environmental menace, but a viable and unconventional material for sculptors and other professionals like engineers and scientists beyond Ghana must also expand on this research further.

Flu burung (avian influenza) adalah suatu penyakit menular pada unggas yang disebabkan oleh virus influenza tipe A subtipe H5N1. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui kondisi sanitasi lingkungan dan perilaku peternak berkaitan dengan flu burung. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dengan menggunakan kuesioner disertai pengamatan lapangan. Besar sampel sebanyak 7.200 yang tersebar di 18 kelurahan, dengan 1.536 responden peternak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar jenis unggas yang dipelihara oleh masyarakat adalah ayam. Sebagian besar responden mengandangkan unggasnya. Sebesar 65,63% mencuci tangan dengan sabun setelah memegang unggas. Unggas yang mati dimusnahkan dengan cara dibakar 41,08% dan dikubur 50,06%. Tidak menjual unggas peliharaan, baik yang mati maupun yang sakit 86,39%, dan tidak mengonsumsi unggas mati 86,06%, membersihkan kandang secara berkala 43,42%, namun yang melakukan desinfektan kandang hanya 16,66%. Sewaktu ada unggas peliharaannya mati yang mengenakan alat pelindung diri 26,82%, sedangkan yang melapor kepada yang berwenang ketika ada unggas mati hanya 5,17%, dan ketika unggas peliharaanya sakit 18,20%, mengobati unggas yang sakit 21,48%, dan memisahkannya dengan unggas sehat 38,54%. Kegiatan vaksinasi proporsinya relatif kecil. Perilaku sebagian besar peternak masih kurang menunjang upaya pencegahan flu burung.Avian Influenza is a comunibable desease among poultry that coused by influenza type A virus subtipe H5N1. This study aimed to emphasize the discussion of environmental sanitation of the cage and behavioral aspects of poultry keepers. Data were collected through interviews using questionnaire and field observations. Sample as many as 7,200 people across 18 villages, and was gathered 1,536 of poultry keepers. The results illustrated that most of birds that are kept by the people in the study area was chicken and most of the respondents keep poultry into the cage. Washed hands with soap after handling poultry was 65.63%. Burned poultry that found death by 41.08%, and 50.06% by buried it. Not selling and consumed dead or sick by 86.39%, and 86.06%. Periodically clean the cage by 43.42%, and 16.66% disinfectant the cage. Wearing protective instrument when handling dead birds were found 26.82%. Report to the Board of RT/RW when found dead poultry was 15.17%, and 18.20% when the birds was sick. Treat the sick poultry was 21.48%, and separate the sick birds was 38.54 %. Small percentage on vaccinate the poultry. As the conclusion, the behavior of the owner poultry keeper still lacking to support the efforts on the prevention of aviant influenza.

Abstract: Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) has increased every year. The DHF case ini Sidoarjo district has increased in 3 years. The case was experienced by many children of primary school age. One factor that can increase the risk of this disease is the environmental sanitation of the school. The study aims to determine the relationship between environmental sanitation of elementary school with the incidence of dengue in the Candi subdistrict, Sidoarjo. This type of research is Analytical Survey. The study population is 29 state elementary schools in Candi subdistrict, Sidoarjo. Samplers using cluster random sampling technique, that obtained 24 schools. Collecting data used for the assessment from Health Office of Sidoarjo District. Analysis of data is used statistical test of Rank Spearman. Based on the study results showed that there is no significant relationship between elementary schools environmental sanitation with the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (0,570> 0,05), with the translation of sub variables studied as follows: there is no significant relationship between the availability of clean water to the incidence of dengue fever dengue (0,293> 0,05), there is no significant relationship between the means of waste disposal with the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (0,729> 0,05), and no significant correlation between the density of mosquito larvae with the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (0,031 <0,05). The conclusion of this study is there is no relationship between the school environmental sanitation, sub variable of water supply and waste disposal facilities with the incidence of dengue fever. There is a relationship between sub variable density of mosquito larvae with.Keywords: school environmental sanitation, dengue fever, SidoarjoAbstrak: Penyakit demam berdarah dengue (DBD) mengalami peningkatan setiap tahunnya.

Sample Data

The prevalence of soil transmitted helminths (STH) is closely related to the defecation facilities for rural communities, such as: the habit of defecating openly on the ground, in gardens and using open latrines in rivers. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of environmental sanitation risk factors on the prevalence of STH infection. This study was included in an analytical epidemiological study at two locations, using a cross sectional study as the research design. The location were Sri Kembang Village, Bukit Village, which is included in Betung District, Banyuasin Regency, and South Sumatra, Indonesia for 30 days. There were 252 students as the research sample. Data analysis showed that the prevalence of T. trichiura was higher in Sri Kembang State Primary School Number 1 with mild to very severe infection degrees. The intensity of A. lumbricoides infection in Bukit State Primary School Number 1 got a higher prevalence than Sri Kembang. Open defecation, gardens or open latrines, and types of houses with dirt floors indicate environmental sanitation factors that are sufficient to support the prevalence of STH. For further research, it is recommended to examine socio-economic risk factors.
