Safety Education through Risk Analysis in the Printing Informal Sector

The printing industry is one of the most informal industries in university environments, such as in Universitas Negeri Semarang which has many printers, ranging from printing books to banners. The printing industry is not free from risks of danger, even though it is only in a small sector, but all workplaces have their own risks of danger. The method used in this research was descriptive research. Analysis was carried out by collecting data through field observations and analysis using JSA. The population and sample in this study were 10 workers in three printing houses in the Universitas Negeri Semarang area. There are a total of 6 routine work processes carried out by workers in the printing industry with 38 hazards identified. The highest intensity risks were found in muscle, bone and skeletal disorders as well as skin irritation and respiratory problems. This was because when working the position of the worker was not ergonomic and the work involved chemicals in the form of ink. The recommended improvement for printing owners is the use of APB to minimize risks arising from identified hazards such as wearing masks to reduce exposure to chemical vapours.

Rapid and low cost ground displacement mapping using UAV photogrammetry

Ground displacement mapping has become a crucial issue for landslide hazards assessment. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) offers many advantages in mapping applications. The objective of this study is to analyze ground displacement by UAV. This study utilizes UAV DJI 4 Pro for the landslide area in conservational forest Semarang, Indonesia. The study area for mapping is 12 ha, divided into 8 points. Three Control Points 2 × 2 meters were applied. Aerial photographs were taken during the rainy season, August 21st, 2021 and March 30th, 2022. Agisoft software was used to obtain the point cloud and Cloud Compare was used to estimate the landslide surface area. The final results show there are 2 point areas occur ground displacements. In the first location, the landslide surface area is 3420 m2, with the depth of landslide 19 m. The ground displacement occurs in 79.4 m western. The second location landslide surface area is 3576 m2, with the depth of landslide 4 m. The ground displacement occurs in 60.3 m to the west. This study concludes that UAV is applicable in photogrammetry to analyze ground displacement. The procedures in this study can be used for monitoring a landslide area with rapid results and a low-cost budget.

Modeling social interaction and metapopulation mobility of the COVID-19 pandemic in main cities of highly populated Java Island, Indonesia: An agent-based modeling approach

IntroductionCoronavirus transmission is strongly influenced by human mobilities and interactions within and between different geographical regions. Human mobility within and between cities is motivated by several factors, including employment, cultural-driven, holidays, and daily routines.MethodWe developed a sustained metapopulation (SAMPAN) model, an agent-based model (ABM) for simulating the effect of individual mobility and interaction behavior on the spreading of COVID-19 viruses across main cities on Java Island, Indonesia. The model considers social classes and social mixing affecting the mobility and interaction behavior within a sub-population of a city in the early pandemic. Travelers’ behavior represents the mobility among cities from central cities to other cities and commuting behavior from the surrounding area of each city.ResultsLocal sensitivity analysis using one factor at a time was performed to test the SAMPAN model, and we have identified critical parameters for the model. While validation was carried out for the Jakarta area, we are confident in implementing the model for a larger area with the concept of metapopulation dynamics. We included the area of Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, Bandung, Semarang, Surakarta, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, and Malang cities which have important roles in the COVID-19 pandemic spreading on this island.DiscussionOur SAMPAN model can simulate various waves during the first year of the pandemic caused by various phenomena of large social mobilities and interactions, particularly during religious occasions and long holidays.
