LAYANAN KEBERSIHAN MASJID BERBASIS ANDROID UNTUK MENDUKUNG PELAKSANAAN PROTOKOL KESEHATAN PENCEGAHAN COVID-19

ABSTRAKMenjaga kebersihan masjid merupakan suatu hal yang harus dilakukan secara rutin. Namun masih terdapat beberapa masjid yang melakukan kegiatan bersih-bersih tidak sercara rutin dan kurang optimal. Keberadaan organisasi yang memberikan layanan kebersihan masjid merupakan salah satu solusi yang dapat mengatasi masalah ini. “Tim Bebersih Masjid (TBM)” merupakan suatu organisasi non profit yang salah satu aktivitasnya memberikan layanan kebersihan masjid tanpa biaya. Beberapa kendala yang ditemui TBM dalam operasional diantaranya: terbatasnya fasilitas media penyebaran informasi layanan kebersihan masjid, terbatasnya informasi bagi masyarakat yang akan menjadi donatur, terbatas jumlah tim personil kebersihan. Agar operasional kegiatan TBM lebih optimal, dalam kegiatan pengabdian ini diusulkan untuk membuat Aplikasi Tim Bersih-bersih Masjid (TBM) berbasis mobile yang terhubung dengan aplikasi berbasis web. Metode pelaksanaan pengabdian terbagi menjadi tiga bagian, diantaranya: persiapan, pengembangan aplikasi TBM berbasis web dan berbasis Android, pelaksanaan.Aplikasi dirancang untuk dapat menghasilkan informasi: data masjid yang akan dibersihkan, jadwal membersihkan masjid, narahubung Dewan Kemakmuran Masjid (DKM) dan histori aktivitas kebersihan. Setelah dilakukan kegiatan pengabdian, informasi layanan kebersihan masjid dapat diakses melalui tautan http://masjidbersih.org dan permintaan layanan kebersihan dapat diakses melalui aplikasi berbasis android yang tersedia di google playstore dengan nama “Tim Bebersih Masjid – Layanan Bebersih untuk Umat”. Kata kunci: android; aplikasi; bersih; masjid. ABSTRACTMaintaining the cleanliness of the mosque as a place of worship for Muslims is something that must be done regularly. However, in its implementation, there are still several mosques that have not carried out routine cleaning activities and are less than optimal. The existence of an organization that provides mosque cleaning services is one solution that can overcome this problem. The existence of mosque cleaning services is one of the ideas to overcome this problem. “Tim Bebersih Masjid (TBM)” is a non-profit organization whose activities include providing mosque cleaning services at no cost. Some of the obstacles encountered by TBM in its operations include: limited media facilities for disseminating information on mosque cleaning services, limited information for people who will become donors, limited number of cleaning personnel teams. In order for the operation of TBM activities to be more optimal, in this service activity it is proposed to create a mobile-based Tim Bebersih Masjid (TBM) Application that is connected to a web-based application. The application is designed to be able to generate information: mosque data to be cleaned, mosque cleaning schedules, contact person for the Dewan Kemakmuran Masjid (DKM) and history of cleaning activities. After the service activities have been carried out, information on mosque cleaning services can be accessed via the link http://masjid Bersih.org and requests for cleaning services can be accessed through an Android-based application available on the Google Playstore under the name “Tim Bebersih Masjid – Layanan Berbersih untuk Umat”.

Kegiatan preservasi naskah kuno Syekh Abdul Manan di Museum Bandar Cimanuk Indramayu

The spread of Islam in Indramayu stems from trading activities at Cimanuk Port, Indramayu. This is completely contained in the hundred years old manuscripts of Sheikh Abdul Manan. This study aimed to determine how the preservation of Syekh Abdul Manan's ancient manuscripts at the Bandar Cimanuk Museum, Indramayu. The research used a qualitative approach through descriptive research method. Based results of research, the Bandar Cimanuk Museum has carried out activities for the preservation of Sheikh Abdul Manan’s ancient manuscripts through restrictions to direct access to museum users, routine cleaning of manuscripts and the museum environment, fumigation, and digitization. Restrictions to direct access to museum users by placing the ancient manuscripts in glass covered displays and special boxes. Routine maintenance of the museum is conducted by regulating the light and humidity, using camphor in every corner of the room, dehumidifier settings, and directing the museum visitors. Fumigation is conducted through pesticide compund to eliminate pests once a year. The digitization of ancient manuscripts into the form of a digital book (flipbook) which is carried out in collaboration with museums with various institutions, such as, a collaboration with researchers and students from Padjadjaran University. The entire process of preservation activities was carried out in a structured and panned methods. The study concludes that the importance of preservation to maintain and preserve the heritage of ancient manuscripts to be accessed and utilized by wider societies.

Bird-feeder cleaning lowers disease severity in rural but not urban birds

Animals inhabiting urban areas often experience elevated disease threats, putatively due to factors such as increased population density and horizontal transmission or decreased immunity (e.g. due to nutrition, pollution, stress). However, for animals that take advantage of human food subsidies, like feeder-visiting birds, an additional mechanism may include exposure to contaminated feeders as fomites. There are some published associations between bird feeder presence/density and avian disease, but to date no experimental study has tested the hypothesis that feeder contamination can directly impact disease status of visiting birds, especially in relation to the population of origin (i.e. urban v. rural, where feeder use/densities naturally vary dramatically). Here we used a field, feeder-cleaning experimental design to show that rural, but not urban, house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) showed increased infection from a common coccidian endoparasite (Isospora spp.) when feeders were left uncleaned and that daily cleaning (with diluted bleach solution) over a 5-week period successfully decreased parasite burden. Moreover, this pattern in rural finches was true for males but not females. These experimental results reveal habitat- and sex-specific harmful effects of bird feeder use (i.e. when uncleaned in rural areas). Our study is the first to directly indicate to humans who maintain feeders for granivorous birds that routine cleaning can be critical for ensuring the health and viability of visiting avian species.

The use of a UV-C disinfection robot in the routine cleaning process: a field study in an Academic hospital

Background Environmental surface decontamination is a crucial tool to prevent the spread of infections in hospitals. However, manual cleaning and disinfection may be insufficient to eliminate pathogens from contaminated surfaces. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation deploying autonomous disinfection devices, i.e. robots, are increasingly advertised to complement standard decontamination procedures with concurrent reduction of time and workload. Although the principle of UV-C based disinfection is proven, little is known about the operational details of UV-C disinfection delivered by robots. To explore the impact of a UV-C disinfection robot in the clinical setting, we investigated its usability and the effectiveness as an add-on to standard environmental cleaning and disinfection. Additionally, its effect on Candida auris, a yeast pathogen resistant to antifungals and disinfectants, was studied. Methods After setting the parameters “surface distance” and “exposure time” for each area as given by the manufacturer, the robot moved autonomously and emitted UV-C irradiation in the waiting areas of two hospital outpatient clinics after routine cleaning and/or disinfection. To quantify the efficacy of the robotic UV-C disinfection, we obtained cultures from defined sampling sites in these areas at baseline, after manual cleaning/disinfection and after the use of the robot. Four different C. auris strains at two concentrations and either in a lag or in a stationary growth phase were placed in these areas and exposed to UV-C disinfection as well. Results The UV-C irradiation significantly reduced the microbial growth on the surfaces after manual cleaning and disinfection. C. auris growth in the lag phase was inhibited by the UV-C irradiation but not in the presence of the rim shadows. The effects on C. auris in the stationary phase were differential, but overall C. auris strains were not effectively killed by the standard UV-C disinfection cycle. Regarding usability, the robot’s interface was not intuitive, requiring advanced technical knowledge or intensive training prior to its use. Additionally, the robot required interventions by the technical operator during the disinfection process, e.g. stopping due to unforeseen minor dislocation of items during the clinical service or due to moving individuals, making it a delicate high-tech device but not yet ready for the autonomous use in the clinical routine. Conclusions Presently, the UV-C robot tested in this study is not ready to be integrated in the environmental cleaning and disinfection procedures in our hospital. The single standard disinfection UV-C irradiation cycle is not sufficient to inactivate pathogens with augmented environmental resilience, e.g. C. auris, particularly when microbial loads are high.

Boots and Bugs: The Beginning of an Intervention for Firefighters

Background: Multiple studies have demonstrated that pathogens are present in both apparatus and stations within the fire service. Pasco County Fire Rescue’s (PCFR’s) 500+ firefighters routinely wear boots to trauma scenes and into patient’s residences and then into the dormitory and living areas of the fire stations. Pasco County Fire Rescue (PCFR) recently participated in a larger effort to identify the bacteria, yeast, and mold that firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and paramedics are exposed to on apparatuses and the station living environment during a typical shift. During these efforts to swab multiple touch points within apparatus (ambulances and engines) and common areas of the stations, firefighters’ boots were identified as a significant source of bacterial contamination. Methods: Swabs of 191 surfaces in 23 vehicles and 5 fire stations were collected, including 3 swabs from the bottom of firefighter boots. Results: Firefighter boots had the highest bacterial CFUs of all locations swabbed, with >900,000 and 378,000 CFUs per boot. Disinfection with a quaternary ammonium product sprayed through an electrostatic sprayer system effectively reduced the bacterial contamination on boots. Conclusions: PCFR recognizes firefighter boots as a critical vector of contamination between the environment encountered on emergency medical calls and the fire station environment and, as a result, has started a preliminary education campaign for agency firefighters regarding the need for regular boot disinfection. These efforts include regular submissions to the biweekly employee newsletter, as well as reminders on interoffice mailing envelopes (see example below) in hopes of increasing informal, self-directed boot cleaning and disinfection efforts. The next steps include verifying the effectiveness of specific disinfectant cleaners on boots; addressing logistical and practical barriers to routine cleaning and disinfection of boots; and developing, implementing, and evaluating a protocol for regular boot cleaning and disinfection.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

Continuously Active Antimicrobial Coating Remains Effective After Multiple Contamination Events

Liquid-based disinfection of environmental surfaces is a momentary intervention while the recontamination of these surfaces is continuous. In between disinfection cycles, contaminated surfaces remain a potential source of infection. The use of continuously active antimicrobial surface coatings would reduce the risk of transmission between routine cleaning and liquid disinfection events by serving as an always-on approach to reduce pathogen burden. We have recently reported on a surface coating having antiviral properties. Here, the spectrum of activity was broadened assessment efficacy of the coating to withstand multiple contamination events against viruses and pathogenic bacteria.

“To clean or not to clean?” Reducing daily routine hotel room cleaning by letting tourists answer this question for themselves

Changing default settings has proven to be a powerful approach to influencing consumer decisions without denying consumers the possibility of choosing freely. This is only the second study investigating the effectiveness of defaults in tourism, and the first testing also the combined effect of default changes and pro-environmental appeals in the context of changing room cleaning defaults in hotels from automatic daily cleaning (with the choice of opting out) to no daily routine cleaning (with the choice of opt-in and requesting a free room clean every day). Results from a quasi-experimental study conducted in a three-star city hotel suggest that the change in defaults significantly reduced room cleaning, with only 32% of room cleans requested on average. Adding a pro-environmental appeal to the change in defaults did not further reduce room cleaning overall, but has an effect on certain segments of hotel guests.

A novel imaging system for rapid visualization of bacteria on surfaces

The ability to identify locations that are missed in routine cleaning is important. Visual inspection, ATP bioluminescence systems, and fluorescence or ultraviolet light are monitoring methods that indicate overall cleanliness, but not contamination removal. In this study, we use Staphylococcus aureus to evaluate a novel imaging system that provides a rapid, visual confirmation of the presence of bacteria on surfaces at four log concentrations ranging from approximately 4.7x100 to 1.8x104 CFU/cm2. We found that the combination of the illuminator spray and imaging software was able to detect the presence of bacteria on the surfaces and indicate relative concentration by visualizing the contamination as a heat map.
