HUBUNGAN ANTARA SIKAP KERJA DENGAN KELUHAN LOW BACK PAIN PADA PENGRAJIN GAMELAN DI DESA TIHINGAN

Low back pain is a part of musculoskeletal disorders that often occur during work activities. Low back pain complaints are experienced among public and mostly occur among workers such as gamelan craftsman. The process of making gamelan through several stages causes pain that is felt in the body. One factor that influences the onset of pain is work attitude. Non-Ergonomic work attitude will increase the risk of low back pain among workers. This study aimed to determine the correlation between work attitude and low back pain complaints among gamelan craftsmen. This study was a correlative descriptive study. Total sampling was used to recruit 57 respondents. Work attitudes and low back pain complaints are measured using Nordic Body Map (NBM) and REBA questionnaires. Data analysis that used was the Spearman rank test. The result shows that there is a significant and strong correlation with positive direction between work attitudes and low back pain complaints among gamelan craftsmen with p-value < 0,0001, r = 0,653. The result also show that determinant coefficient is 42,6%, it means work attitude has a correlation with low back pain complaints among gamelan craftsmen by 42,6%, Thus, the gamelan craftworkers require to adjust with body position and control the work duration to escape from health risk, such as low back pain.

Rotating Night Shift Work, Sleep, and Thyroid Cancer Risk in the Nurses’ Health Study 2

Night shift work has been associated with breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer, but evidence on other types of cancer is limited. We prospectively evaluated the association of rotating night shift work, sleep duration, and sleep difficulty with thyroid cancer risk in the Nurses’ Health Study 2 (NHS2). We assessed rotating night shift work duration (years) at baseline and throughout follow-up (1989–2015) and sleep characteristics in 2001. Cox proportional hazard models, adjusted for potential confounders, were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for (a) shift work duration, (b) sleep duration, and (c) difficulty falling or staying asleep. We stratified the analyses of night shift work by sleep duration and sleep difficulty. Over 26 years of follow-up, 588 incident cases were identified among 114,534 women in the NHS2 cohort. We observed no association between night shift work and the risk of thyroid cancer. Difficulty falling or staying asleep was suggestively associated with a higher incidence of thyroid cancer when reported sometimes (HR 1.26, 95% CI 0.95, 1.66) and all or most of the time (HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.00, 1.81). Night shift workers (10+ years) with sleep difficulty all or most of the time (HR 1.47; 0.58–3.73) or with >7 h of sleep duration (HR 2.17; 95% CI, 1.21–3.92) had a higher risk of thyroid cancer. We found modest evidence for an increased risk of thyroid cancer in relation to sleep difficulty, which was more pronounced among night shift workers.

Association between occupational noise-induced hearing loss and genotoxicity among textile factory workers

Background/aimHearing loss caused by exposure to noise is still among the most prevalent health risks for industrial workers. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between Shebien El-kom textile factory workers’ occupational noise exposure, genotoxicity, and noise-induced hearing loss.MethodsThis cross-sectional case–control study was performed in a textile industry in Shebin Elkom, Egypt. The participants of this work were 36 exposed male workers from the spinning section of the textile factory and 36 subjects as the control male group from administrative staff in the same factory, in the age range of 25–45 years. A pure-tone audiometer and portable sound level meter were utilized for the measurement of hearing threshold and noise level, respectively. Genotoxicity was assessed using the Comet assay technique.ResultsThere was no significant difference between both groups regarding age and the mean duration of work was 18.94 ± 4.88 for exposed workers. The average level of noise was 95–105 dB (A). The exposed workers’ mean hearing thresholds for the left and right ears at frequencies between 2000 and 8000 Hz were substantially greater than those of the control group (P < 0.05). In the exposed workers, there was not a marked variation between the hearing thresholds of the left and right ears (p > 0.05). The exposed workers’ percentage of DNA damage was substantially greater than that of the control group (p < 0.001). Among exposed workers, a positive correlation between DNA damage, the degree of hearing loss, and the duration of time exposed to noise was demonstrated.ConclusionThe majority of exposed workers suffered from occupational noise-induced hearing loss. A positive correlation was found between the percentage of DNA damage, duration of exposure to noise, and hearing threshold in exposed workers.

Barriers experienced by community midwives to provide basic emergency obstetric and newborn care in rural Pakistan

BackgroundConsidering the high maternal mortality rate, the government of Pakistan has deployed Community Midwives (CMWs) in rural areas of Pakistan. This relatively new cadre of community-based skilled birth attendants has previously reported to experience several challenges in providing maternal and child healthcare. However, what barriers they experience in providing basic emergency obstetric and newborn care needs to be further studied.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study conducted in twelve districts in Sindh province, Pakistan, with poor maternal and child health indicators. A total of 258 CMWs participated in this study and completed the questionnaire on a pretested, validated tool in their community-based stations. The trained data collectors completed the questionnaires from the respondents. The problems identified were categorized into three major issues: financial, and transport and security related; and were analyzed accordingly. Ethical approval was obtained from the institutional review board (IRB) of Health Services Academy (HSA) Islamabad, Pakistan.ResultsThe majority (90%) of 258 CMWs had formal training in maternal and neonatal care from the recognized institutions. Financial difficulties faced by CMWs were identified as the most frequent barriers and others were transport, security, and other issues. In univariate analysis, 38.1% and 61.9% of the community midwives who faced financial difficulties had completed a graduation or intermediate level of education, respectively (p = 0.006). Round-the-clock availability for emergencies was inversely associated with having financial difficulties, i.e., 71.4%, in contrast to 28.4% who had financial difficulties were available round-the-clock for emergency calls in their community clinics (p = 0.008). Formal training (p = 0.001), work experience (p = 0.015), longer duration of work (p = 0.003), and liaison with health workers and posting district (p = 0.001) had statistically significantly higher transport related issues. Security difficulties faced by CMWs and a set of correlates such as formal training (p = 0.019), working experience (p = 0.001), longer duration of work (p = 0.023), 24 h of availability on call (p = 0.004), liaison with traditional birth attendants (TBAs) in the community (p = 0.002), and district of posting (p = 0.001) were statistically significantly different. Other issues like working experience (p = < 0.001) and Liaison with TBAs in the community (p = < 0.001) were found statistically significant.ConclusionFinancial, transportation and security related barriers were commonly reported by community midwives in the delivery of basic emergency obstetric and newborn care in rural Pakistan.

METHODICAL APPROACHES TO DETERMINING THE COST OF ENGINEERING SERVICES AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF THE OBJECT'S LIFE CYCLE

The article summarizes and analyzes the methods of determining the cost of engineering services in construction. The research methods are content analysis - to find information on pricing methods for design works and engineering services, analysis and synthesis - selection of pricing methods for design works and engineering services, for theoretical generalization of methodical approaches to pricing in the specified areas. &#x0D; In world practice, there are three main methods of calculating the cost of engineering services in construction (consulting engineer): one-time fee; time rate; interest charge. Analysis of the international practice of approaches to determining the cost of the services of consulting engineers, the experience of own engineering activities allowed us to determine that in the field of pre-project, project services, administration, construction management, technical supervision, it is recommended to use all three methods of payment for the work of a consulting engineer, while when providing consulting services services, tender procurement, dispute resolution and arbitration - time rate or one-time fee. &#x0D; The "time rate" method is universal and can be applied at any stage of the life cycle of an investment and construction project. The main difficulty of using this method is the need to develop a detailed program of the engineer's work. The basis for determining the labor-intensiveness of work should be internal company standards, determined on the basis of the analysis of "best practices", information on the duration of similar work performed by competitors, and own observations. &#x0D; It is proposed to develop percentage indicators that will be differentiated depending on the scale and complexity of the project. The scale of the project is measured by the cost of construction (according to chapters 1-9 of the consolidated estimate), and the complexity is the class of consequences of the object (СС1, СС2, СС3).

DEVELOPMENT OF RAPID SET PLASTERING MORTAR FOR USING IN THE ASEAN REGION

Currently, a conventional plaster is widely used for wall plastering and occurs in various operational steps. The hardening time necessary for the plasters plays one of the most important roles in determining the duration of plastering work. Rapid-setting plasterers can assist in accelerating the process. However, plastering mortar with a hardened consistency is an imported product with very high shipping costs and import obligations, making it less competitive compared to local products in ASEAN. To maintain the quality and shelf life, transporting it also requires considerable time. Consequently, plaster products may agglomerate and lose their distinctive qualities. Besides, the climate in the ASEAN region differs from the country in which rapid-setting plaster products are produced. This has a direct effect on the plastering processes employed by ASEAN plasterers. This study focuses on the production of plaster mixes using raw materials in Thailand. To accelerate solidification, the addition of 3-4% calcium aluminate cement was conducted. In addition, it is compatible with Thai standards. The experimental results demonstrated that the manufactured plaster satisfied Thailand’s quality and usability standards. Consideration is given to material performance parameters such as flowability, setting time, compressive strength, constructability of user field study, and carbon footprint regarding the life cycle assessment.

The influence of age and occupational experience of fire protection workers for chronic non-infectious morbidity

Introduction. The study of the occupational risk of fire protection workers (FPW) is mainly aimed at the hygienic aspects of the work of firefighters, their impact on injuries, primary and general morbidity, as well as stress resistance to emergency situations and the likelihood of the formation of mental and somatic health disorders. At the same time, the associations between the psychological and physical adaptability of firefighters to the working environment, their relationship with morbidity, age, and duration of work in the occupation remain insufficiently studied.&#x0D; Materials and methods. Seventy 30–61 year FPWs with an occupational experience of 5–38 years were examined. The level of reactive (RA) and personal anxiety (PA) in them was measured on the Spielberger – Khanin scale, adaptive stress (AS) – in accordance with MR 2.2.9.0148–19. The level of chronic &#x0D; non-communicable morbidity (CNCM) was expressed through the indicator of the point prevalence. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, two-sample t-test with different variances, time series analysis, paired and multiple correlation, and regression analysis.&#x0D; Results. A direct average correlation (0.521–0.648) was established between the variables as follows: age → stage, age → RA, age → PA. Moderate positive correlations (0.349 – 0.425) between the variables: age → CNCM, RA → AS, PA → AS, AS → CNCM. A weak positive relationship (0.167–0.288) was found between the signs: stage → RA, stage → PA, stage → CNCM. A statistically reliable multiple regression model has been constructed describing the influence &#x0D; of independent variables: age, occupational experience, RA and AS on the point prevalence of examined FPWs, with a moderate closeness of the relationship (R = 0.6101) between CNCM and the set of selected predictors.&#x0D; Limitations. The work did not take into account the behavioural risk factors of CNCM.&#x0D; Conclusion. The priority factors influencing the point prevalence of CNCM in this cohort of FPWs were age, reactive anxiety, and adaptive stress. A statistically less significant correlation between occupational experience and CNCM could be due to the effect of a healthy employee.

Tumpangsari-Agroforestry Practices and Its Socioeconomic Impact on Communities in the Gunung Arjuna-Lalijiwo Forest Reserve, East Java, Indonesia

The issue of poverty remains a significant and persistent challenge in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas. Agroforestry has been practised in the Gunung Arjuna Reserve Forest, which has been managed by Perhutani since the 1970s. However, the absence of effective oversight and guidance has hindered substantial socioeconomic progress. In 2016, the management of 544.74 hectares of this forest was taken over by Universitas Brawijaya (UBF). This study focused on the Karangploso sub-district, specifically within the Tawangargo, Donowarih, and Ngenep villages under UBF&amp;#39;s management. The study aimed to assess the impact of the transition from Perhutani&amp;#39;s management to UBF&amp;#39;s current administration of the Gunung Arjuna Reserve Forest. It did so by (i) analyzing factors influencing the total area of cultivated land in the tumpangsari-agroforestry system and (ii) evaluating the socioeconomic consequences of this management shift. A quantitative approach and convenience sampling technique were employed, selecting respondents based on accessibility and proximity to the researcher on-site. The results indicated that 34% of respondents cultivated crops on land areas ranging from 1.0 to 1.5 hectares. The regression analysis demonstrated a strong relationship (R2 = 0.847) between factors such as work duration, plant diversity, education level, income, and the number of family members engaged in farming and the total cultivated land area. The study also found that the transition from Perhutani to UBF management had a significantly positive impact on socioeconomic aspects, such as total income, social interactions, and infrastructure, as perceived by 67% of respondents. Furthermore, 70% of respondents acknowledged their reliance on the agroforestry system for income, with 88.86% strongly agreeing that it contributed to family income, and 84.57% strongly agreeing that it was a vital source of raw materials for sustenance. The implication of transferring the 544.74-hectare reserve forest to Universitas Brawijaya had a favourable outcome, enhancing the living standards of the communities in the vicinity. The tumpangsari-agroforestry system not only improved socioeconomic conditions but also fostered social interactions, improved infrastructure, and preserved the forest&amp;#39;s ecology. It is recommended that the community continue cultivating a variety of crops with guidance from UB Forest management and other stakeholders. Creating national awareness about the benefits of agroforestry in rural poverty reduction is vital, emphasizing the need to explore and adopt diversified livelihood strategies.

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL, PHYSICAL, AND PSYCHOSOCIAL RISK FACTORS AND OCCUPATIONAL FATIGUE AMONG COMMUTER LINE TRAIN WORKERS

Introduction: Occupational fatigue affects workers in various industries including transportation. Commuter train drivers and office workers are subjected to high levels of physical and psychosocial stress, which can lead to occupational fatigue. Aims: to examine the relationship between individual, physical, and psychosocial risk factors and occupational fatigue in commuter train workers in Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang, and Bekasi. Methods: Individual (i.e., age, gender, marital status, type of work, duration of work, and smoking status), psychosocial (i.e., effort, reward, overcommitment, monotonous work, social support, job satisfaction, and work stress) factors, and occupational fatigue were investigated in 78 commuter line train workers (both drivers and officers). Observing workers' activities yielded physical factors (awkward posture, repetitive work, prolonged work, and material manual handling activities). The association between each risk factor and occupational fatigue was investigated using a logistic regression model. Results: Commuter line officers (OR 4.96, 95% CI 1.77 – 13.85), those with high overcommitment (OR 3.16, 95% CI 1.25 – 8.00), and those with high work stress (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.19 – 2.00) were more likely to report occupational fatigue than train drivers, who reported low overcommitment and low work stress, respectively. When compared to those who reported low job satisfaction, those who reported high job satisfaction were less likely to report occupational fatigue (OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.07 – 0.52). Conclusion: Job position, overcommitment, and work stress were associated with occupational fatigue.

Metal levels in waste pickers in Brasilia, Brazil: hair and nail as exposure matrices

ABSTRACT The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare workplace conditions and metal exposures in 431 waste pickers who worked nearby at the Estrutural Dump in Brasilia utilizing hair (n = 310) and nail (n = 355) as matrices of exposure. Waste pickers were grouped according to their workplace (open waste dump: G1 and sorting plants: G2). Hair and nail samples were collected and analyzed using ICP-MS. The work duration in the facilities was significantly different between the groups with averages of 16.46 (8.48) yrs and 9.26 (6.28) yrs for hair donors in G1 and G2, and 15.92 (7.72) yrs and 8.55 (5.77) yrs for toenail donors in G1 and G2, respectively. The arithmetic means (μg/g) of cadmium, copper, lead, and manganese in hair were significantly higher in G2 (0.076 ± 0.133; 19.61 ± 18.16; 2.27 ± .56 and 3.87 ± 5.59, respectively) compared to G1 (0.069 ± 0.235; 15.72 ± 15.18; 1.72 ± 4.04 and 3.65 ± 5.5, respectively). Concentrations of arsenic, barium, cadmium, copper, cobalt, lead, manganese, and molybdenum in nail were significantly higher in G2 (0.57 ± 0.39; 22.74 ± 42.06; 0.1 ± 0.08; 22.7 ± 51.60; 0.48 ± 0.45; 4.69 ± 9.43; 19.07 ± 20.75; 1.80 ± 1.76, respectively) compared to G1 (0.40 ± 0.28; 15.32 ± 22.31; 0.08 ± 0.11; 11.91 ± 16.25; 0.37 ± 0.37; 3.94 ± 15.04; 13.01 ± 19.08; 1.16 ± 1.80, respective. Our findings suggest that the studied population was exposed to toxic metals and indicates the need for chemical exposure prevention policies to monitor chemical risk exposures in waste pickers.

Association of ocular surface and meibomian gland alterations with silicone hydrogel contact lens wear

PurposeTo evaluate silicone hydrogel contact lens (SH-CL) effects on the meibomian glands, corneal structure, and ocular surface parameters. MethodsFifty SH-CL wearers for at least 6 months, and 50 sex and age-matched control subjects were recruited for this cross-sectional study. Visual display terminal (VDT) work and CL wear duration were questioned, ocular surface and tear functions were evaluated using OSDI questionnaire, tear break-up time (TBUT), corneal fluorescein staining, and Schirmer test. Corneal sensitivity was measured with Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometry. Meibography and in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) were performed to evaluate meibomian glands and corneal structure. Intergroup comparisons were made using the Chi-square test, Wilcoxon test, or Kruskal–Wallis test. ResultsIn the CL group, TBUT was shorter (P = 0.01), corneal fluorescein staining (P = 0.04), OSDI scores (P < 0.001), and meiboscores (P < 0.001) were higher than the control group. The biomicroscopic evaluation revealed meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) in 34 % of the CL group and 20 % of the control group, which was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). IVCM showed that endothelial cell density was lower (P = 0.01) and polymegethism was higher (P < 0.001) in the CL group. Subbasal nerve density and corneal sensitivity measurements were similar in the two groups (P > 0.05). The longer VDT work duration was associated with increased CFS in the CL group (P = 0.05). ConclusionThe results showed that SH-CL wear increased dry eye symptoms and ocular discomfort, especially in longer VDT work duration. Meibography revealed significantly worse results in SH-CL wearers. SH-CL-related ocular discomfort seems to be more associated with MGD rather than neurosensorial alterations.

PRAKTIK SAMSÂRAH DALAM JUAL BELI SEPEDA MOTOR DI KABUPATEN BONDOWOSO PERSPEKTIF FATWA DSN-MUI

Brokers, now known as intermediaries in the world of commerce, play a significantly more crucial role in the present compared to earlier periods. The strong interconnection between collective traders and individuals in trade renders the broker's role highly important. A broker is someone who sells goods belonging to others in return for compensation commensurate with their efforts. In fiqh literature, activities of this nature are referred to as Samsârah. This research employs a qualitative research method utilizing data collection techniques such as observation and interviews. The primary sources in this study are traders or owners of motorcycles and individuals working as brokers. The research findings indicate that before commencing work as a broker, one must first transact with the motorcycle owner to establish the terms of the job contract. This involves determining the duration of work and the amount of commission earned. Based on the actual facts, the samsarah transactions occurring in Bondowoso align with the principles established by DSN MUI.

Evaluating the ergonomic deficiencies in computer workstations and investigating their correlation with reported musculoskeletal disorders and visual symptoms among computer users in Bangladeshi university

BackgroundNowadays, computer users are facing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and visual symptoms. Prolonged sitting in inappropriate, awkward, and static postures on the computer workstation may cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Similarly, inappropriate placement of monitors, illumination, and other factors such as prolonged usage of computers are related to visual symptoms. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the ergonomic deficiencies of computer workstations and their correlation with MSDs and visual symptoms. Methods: This study involved 271 university employees from a Bangladeshi engineering university. Ergonomic deficiencies were evaluated through direct observations and Occupational Safety and Health Administration checklists. In addition, the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used to assess the prevalence of MSDs and visual discomforts. Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) analysis was also used to examine the correlation between musculoskeletal symptoms and ergonomic deficiencies. Results: Results showed serious deficiencies in workstation setup, seating arrangement, monitor orientations, keyboard orientations, other input device orientations, and accessory setup. Employees reported that the MSDs in different body regions during the last 12 months including lower back (62 %), upper back (53 %), shoulders (47 %), and neck (25 %). Moreover, itchy eyes (69 %), tired eyes (83 %), and unclear vision (56.83 %) were the most common visual discomforts or visual symptoms among the participants. Results also revealed that monitor ergonomics and its orientation deficits were significantly associated with visual discomforts. Gender, job type, age, BMI, work experience, duration of computer work, and beak taking after 2 h were the independent variables reliably predicting the MSDs and visual symptoms. Conclusion: It is evident that MSDs and visual symptoms were associated with computer workstation deficiencies and other work-related factors.

Professional Quality of Life Among Professionals Working with People with Eating Disorders: The Interplay Between Meaning in Work, Optimism, and Career Duration.

Scientific literature findings reflect the challenges experienced by healthcare professionals (HCPs) whose work is dedicated to helping clients with eating disorders (EDs) in various treatment centers (wards). These challenges can affect the professional quality of life (comprised of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress) of HCPs. The present study delved into this relationship and explored the moderating role of dispositional optimism and the role of career duration in ED wards in the link between meaning in work and professional quality of life. Two hundred HCPs working in ED wards in Israel were recruited through their professional social networks. Participants completed self-report questionnaires related to socio-demographic and work data, professional quality of life, meaning in work, and dispositional optimism. Career duration in ED wards was negatively associated with secondary traumatic stress, while dispositional optimism and meaning in work were positively associated with compassion satisfaction and negatively associated with burnout and secondary traumatic stress. With respect to the moderation effect of dispositional optimism and EDs ward career duration, the findings revealed that the positive relationship between meaning in work and compassion satisfaction weakened as dispositional optimism scores increased. Additionally, the negative relationship between meaning in life and burnout was significant only when the career duration in EDs wards was less than 12.31 years. HCPs working in ED wards could draw on the findings to improve their professional quality of life, especially through enhancing meaning in work. Attention should be paid especially toward HCPs with many years (>12.31) of experience in the ED wards.

Methods: This is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional method. It utilizes the sample selection method of purposive sampling. The information collection tool consists of questions covering personal information, length of service, and physical examination sheets. Statistical test implemented with Chi-square. Results: The number of cigarette rolling workers used as the sample for this study was 103 people. The statistical test results applying chi-square work duration obtained p-value = 0.005 (p ≤0.05), a p-value of 0.000 (p ≤0.05) was obtained for years of service, indicating a correlation between length of Work and working time with the possible occurrence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) in workers. Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between length of Work and duration of Work on the emergence of CTS symptoms. As a form of prevention, occupational health and safety nurses can provide adequate education to cigarette companies to pay attention to employee conditions and the possibility of health problems occurring for their employees.

Hubungan Karakteristik, Riwayat Penyakit, dan Obesitas dengan Keluhan Carpal Tunnel Syndrom (CTS) Pada Komunitas Ojek Online Wilayah Kecamatan Ciracas Jakarta Timur Tahun 2022

Activities involving intensive use of hands over an extended period are often associated with the occurrence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). According to the 2013 ILO report, CTS is consistently detected in almost every incident of work-related diseases in several countries. One type of occupation at risk of CTS is online motorcycle taxi drivers. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between characteristics, medical history, and obesity with CTS complaints in the Online Motorcycle Taxi Community of the Ciracas District, East Jakarta, in the year 2022. The study design is cross-sectional. The sample consists of 107 online motorcycle taxi drivers from the Ciracas District. The research was conducted from April to September 2022. Data collection was done using questionnaires. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate (Chi-square test), and multivariate (Logistic Regression test). The research findings reveal that respondents with CTS complaints in the at-risk category are 29.9%. The majority of respondents are below 40 years old (52.3%), have a work experience of less than 4.5 years (51.4%), work for more than 8 hours per day (59.8%), have no medical history (59.8%), and are not obese (71.0%). The bivariate analysis results show that variables significantly associated with CTS complaints include work experience (p = 0.012 and OR = 3.3), work duration (p = 0.021 and OR = 3.297), medical history (p = 0.046 and OR = 2.571), and obesity (p = 0.049 and OR = 2.654). The multivariate analysis results indicate that there is no single dominant factor with the highest influence on CTS complaints within the online motorcycle taxi community (p &gt; 0.05). The recommendation is to provide Health Education to online motorcycle taxi drivers regarding preventive measures for CTS complaints. This aims to help them manage their work schedule effectively and take preventive actions against CTS issues, such as regular breaks, supportive nutrition, and so forth.&#x0D; Keywords: characteristics, medical history, obesity, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) complaints, Online Motorcycle Taxi

THE EFFECT OF MENTAL HEALTH AND WORK PERFORMANCE LEVEL OF HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES ON OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY CULTURE

In this study, it is aimed to determine the relationship between mental health and work performance levels of hospital employees and occupational health and safety culture. The study is cross-sectional, and was conducted in 2022 among employees of a university hospital. No sample selection was made in the study, and the study was conducted with 208 people who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using a socio-demographic questionnaire, Occupational Health and Safety Culture (OHSC) scale, Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21) and Work Performance Scale (WPS). Data were evaluated by ANOVA, correlation and linear regression analysis. Of the employees, 33.7% stated that their duration of work in the institution is less than 3 years, 84.6% of them received in-service training about OHSC, and 41.3% of them stated that their knowledge about OHSC is sufficient. In order of importance, the OHSC total score average is increased by decreasing the duration of work in the institution (β= -0.352), receiving in-service training at OHSC (β=0.209), increasing work performance (β=0.190) and working as medical staff (β=0.183) (p&amp;lt;0.05), while depression, anxiety, stress, age, gender, marital status, income level, health perception, and received OHS training were not found statistically significant (p&amp;gt;0.05). The OHS culture level of the hospital employees is medium, and the increase in work performance is to increase the OHSC level. No relationship was found between OSHC and mental status. Hospital administrations should implement policies that increase the OHS culture and work performance in the institution.

Analisis Yuridis PERPPU Cipta Kerja No.2 Tahun 2022 Besaran Pesangon Pasca PHK

One of the problems for workers in Indonesia is termination of employment (PHK) between workers and employers, in 2020 the government issued Law No. 11 of 2020 concerning work copyright or the omnibus law getting pros and cons from society, of course there are also many people disagree about this work copyright law. Then in 2022 the Government has also officially promulgated Law Number 2 of 2022 Concerning Job Creation which in outline has revised this omnibus law, at least covering 11 sections that have regulated strategic policies, including one of them related employment. This research wants to discuss the comparison of severance pay for employees who have been laid off according to Law no. 2 of 2022 regarding the copyright of this work.

ANALYSIS OF ACCELERATION OF STRUCTURE WORK TIME USING CPM METHOD IN THE 57 NGANJUK HOTEL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Structural work is a major job in a project for the construction of high-rise buildings and other buildings, because the structure is a strengthening foundation of a building. In the Nganjuk Guest House 57 Hotel development project, it becomes a place to conduct research. Accelerating the duration of structural work on a schedule in a project is the beginning of an acceleration in other project work, because if structural work can be completed quickly, other work can also be completed earlier too. In this study, the acceleration of the schedule uses the CPM (Critical Path Method) method and with the help of Microsoft Project 2013 software which in this study aims to serve as a reference for contractors to work on the next project. Microsoft Project 2013 functions to make normal scheduling and determine work that is on a critical path, and the CPM method is a method of speeding up the duration of a job in a critical area. The data analysis carried out by the researchers was from the master schedule, RAB, and HSPK in 2022 which were then processed in such a way and with the help of Microsoft Project 2013. In the normal structural work duration data it was written for 246 days with a total overall construction cost of Rp. 15,881,406,908.69 and after acceleration with the CPM (Critical Path Method) method, acceleration is obtained for 81 days by adding 3 hours of overtime each day on critical work with an overtime fee of Rp. 211,214,347.45. Then the duration of the change is obtained to be 165 days with a processing fee of Rp. 16,092,621,256.14
