BACKGROUND: In Indonesia, particularly in the coastal area, there is a growing number of seaweed farmers who work in the informal sector as a home-based industry. It is generally assumed that this sub-group of workers is also experiencing work fatigue. AIM: This research aims to explore information-related factors that are associated with fatigue among seaweed workers. METHODS: The study was conducted in Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The research used a mixed-method design combining quantitative and qualitative approach. One hundred sixty-one samples were taken from four districts Mangarabombang, Mappakasunggu, Sanrobone, and North Galesong. RESULTS: More than half of the respondents feel fatigue 67.1%. Furthermore, based on bivariate analysis, it was found that there were significant associations between work hour p = 0.041 and work period p = 0.031 with work fatigue. For the qualitative approach, three focus group discussions were conducted to explore more information related to factors that were found associated with work fatigue from the quantitative study. This research found that a large number of employees experienced work fatigue. CONCLUSION: The factor that associated with work fatigue is work hour and work period. It is suggested that health providers and stakeholders related need to pay attention to this subgroup of the working population regarding their occupational health and safety problems.

BACKGROUND: Airline crew are being exposed to extended workdays and compressed work periods, with quick returns between duties, implying a heightened physiological and psychological strain that may lead to sleep deprivation and fatigue. The aim of the study was assessment of the effect of an extended day of flight duty and a compressed work week with regard to recovery, cumulative fatigue, and neurobehavioral performance.METHODS: We followed 18 pilots and 41 cabin crewmembers during four consecutive days of flight duty, comprising a total of ≥ 39 h, where the first day was ≥ 10 h. Information on demographics, work characteristics, health status, and physical activity was collected at baseline. Subjects completed logs for the first and fourth workday, including the Samn-Perelli Fatigue Checklist at three time points during these workdays. Two computer-based neurobehavioral tests were completed the evening prior to the first shift, and after the first and the fourth day of the work period.RESULTS: Number of flight sectors during the work period was 10-20. Self-reported fatigue levels increased during the workdays. Neurobehavioral test-scores did not deteriorate. The effects of each additional flight sector during the work period was elevated reaction times (RT) both among cabin crewmembers (B = 5.05 ms, 95% CI 0.6, 9.5) and pilots (B = 4.95 ms, 95% CI 0.4, 9.5). Precision was unaffected.DISCUSSION: Airline pilots and cabin crewmembers seem to obtain satisfactory sleep before and during the period of 4 consecutive days. The association between multiple flight sectors and increased fatigue supports previous findings.Goffeng EM, Wagstaff A, Nordby K-C, Meland A, Goffeng LO, Skare O, Lilja D, Lie J-AS.

One of the photokeratitis risk factors is acute reversible radiation of ultraviolet (UV) rays, which injure the cornea's epithelial tissue. Informal welding workers are susceptible populations to UV rays exposure. This study aimed to confirm the influence of UV radiation exposure on photokeratitis complaints in welding workers in Cimanggis, Depok, West Java. A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to June 2019 and used to select 100 welding workers purposively. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to determine photokeratitis complaints, age, education level, eye protection, safety knowledge, and work period; the UV radiation measured by A UV meter. Data were analyzed using a logistic regression test. We found the proportion of photokeratitis to be 84.0%, with 76.0% of UV radiation exceeding the Threshold Limit Values (TLV). The logistic regression test showed a significant effect of UV radiation on photokeratitis after controlling confounding variables (education level, eye protection, safety knowledge, and welding distance) (p-value = 0.006; AdjOR = 7.236; 95% CI: 1.74–30.07). It can be concluded that UV radiation, more than TLV, constitutes the primary risk factor for photokeratitis complaints. Risks for photokeratitis were influenced by low education level, poor eye protection, limited safety knowledge, and welding distance ≤ 45 cm.

Objective This study aimed to identify differences in perceptions between healthcare and non-healthcare personnel when it comes to wearing scrubs in non-healthcare settings. Methods An anonymous survey with 11 closed-ended questions sent via e-mail to healthcare students and employees at The University of Texas Health San Antonio and non-healthcare students and employees at The University of Texas at San Antonio. The answers were scored from 1 to 5 for each question, with a total score ranging from 11-55. Total scores were analyzed and compared between the two groups using a sample t test. Results 2730 people responded to the survey. The mean healthcare-related group responses scored 33.96 ± 7.65, while the non-healthcare group scored 34.47 ± 8.08, (p=0.096). Conclusions In this study, we found no significant difference in attitudes about wearing scrubs in public between healthcare and non-healthcare; it appears that both groups are concerned about wearing scrubs in public. Both groups agree with the value of wearing scrubs in the clinical settings only. Healthcare professionals in this study did not endorse the need to change out of scrubs after work, while non-healthcare subjects believed changing one's scrubs before leaving a clinical setting was proper. The authors believe healthcare institutions should emphasize wearing scrubs only in professional circumstances, make a distinction between uniform and surgical scrubs, provide clean surgical scrubs to their employees, and designate locker rooms to encourage staff to change before the end of the work period.

Quantification of airborne dust exposure is an essential step in eliminating lung diseases caused by overexposure to dust. A large number of workers employed in coal boilers are potentially exposed to significant amount of airborne coal dust during the work period. The objective of the study was to assess the efficiency of water mist system in reducing airborne coal dust concentration in the working atmosphere near a coal fired boiler. Samples from eight workers were taken, representing approximately 80% of the total workforce involved in the coal handling operations. Exposure monitoring was conducted for 480 min during regular working hours. A personal dust sampler was used to capture the airborne coal dust (PM5) before and after installation of water mist system. After quantification and comparison, it was observed that the water mist system successfully reduced up to 81% of airborne dust from the worker’s breathing zone. Further, the airborne dust concentration was reduced from 7.17 to 1.26 mg/m3 which is significantly below ACGIH recommended Threshold limit value (TLV) of 2 mg/m3. The same technology may be used in comparable work environments to reduce high airborne dust levels.

To better understand sleep quality and sleepiness problems offshore, we examined courses of sleep quality and sleepiness in full 2-weeks on/2-weeks off offshore day shift rotations by comparing pre-offshore (1 week), offshore (2 weeks) and post-offshore (1 week) work periods. A longitudinal observational study was conducted among N=42 offshore workers. Sleep quality was measured subjectively with two daily questions and objectively with actigraphy, measuring: time in bed (TIB), total sleep time (TST), sleep latency (SL) and sleep efficiency percentage (SE%). Sleepiness was measured twice a day (morning and evening) with the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale. Changes in sleep and sleepiness parameters during the pre/post and offshore work periods were investigated using (generalized) linear mixed models. In the pre-offshore work period, courses of SE% significantly decreased (p=.038). During offshore work periods, the courses of evening sleepiness scores significantly increased (p

Patient safety is an important component in care and measures to improve the quality of service quality. The strategy of implementing patient safety has been carried out with various efforts in the hospital environment. The highest number of patient safety data by province in Banten is 125 reports, and Jakarta is 105 reports. This study aimed to determine factor-factors related to the behavior of the application of patient safetyto the nursein the Emergency Room Installation of RSUD dr. Dradjat Prawiranegara in 2018.The study design was cross sectional in which the samples were taken by total sampling method. The study population was nurses in the emergency room of RSUD dr. Dradjat Prawiranegara Serang numbered 37 people. Data collection using a questionnaire. Univariate research results showed that of 37 respondents 30 respondents (81.1%) had a good level of knowledge, 21 respondents (56.8%) had positive attitudes, 30 respondents (81.1%) had years of service≥5 years, and 20 respondents (54.1%) have good behavior. Bivariate analysis results show that there is a significant relationship between knowledge(P value = 0.002), attitude (P value = 0.003) and work period ≥5 years (P value = 0.027) with the application of patient safety behavior to nurses. Researchers expect that the hospital able to refresh the application of patient safety to all nurses on a regular basis every six months.

The aim of this study was to investigate fluctuations in heart rate variability (HRV), which reflect autonomic nervous system (ANS) function and potential psychological and physical strain, among 24 health care workers during work and sleep during four consecutive extended work shifts. Data included 24/36/12 h of HRV measurements, two logbooks, and a questionnaire. A cross-shift/cross-week design was applied. HRV was measured during work, leisure time, and sleep. The HRV data included time-domain [mean RR, SD of normal to normal R-R intervals (SDNN), and root mean square of the successive differences (RMSSD)] and frequency-domain [low frequency (LF)/high frequency (HF) ratio] parameters. HRV parameters revealed significant differences among work, leisure time, and sleep. Mean RR, RMSSD, and SDNN values were lower and the LF/HF ratio was higher on the first versus last day of the work period; however, the differences were most prominent in the morning hours. The results indicate higher levels of cardiovascular stress on the first versus fourth day of the working period, and measurements at night indicate a satisfactory recovery from the extended shifts.

Background: Fabry disease (FD) is an X‐linked disorder of glycosphingolipid catabolism caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha‐galactosidase A (GLA). FD is still an underdiagnosed disorder worldwide. Moreover, there is delay between symptom onset and Fabry diagnosis of at least 10 years. Family screening offers an important benefit for detection of new patients. The aim of this work is to present the approach along with the results of a targeted genetic strategy for pedigree analysis for FD in Argentina. Methods: By this strategy as soon as a new index Fabry patient is diagnosed, the pedigree group contacts the physician and a meeting is arranged with the physician and the family to build the family tree. Results: Pedigree analysis was carried out for full in 31 families. In the work period, we have tested 1,462 relatives, and 501 were diagnosed FD. The proportion of positive detection was 33%. Conclusion: The targeted family screening approach is successful to detect undiagnosed Fabry patients. By this approach, the highest ratio index to pedigree ever reported for FD pedigree analysis of 1:15 was obtained., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Instituto de Estudios Inmunológicos y Fisiopatológicos

The objective of this study is to know the association between stress at workand dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea has a direct big impact on individual andcompany. Problems that arise are associated with increased absenteism,resulting in reduced productivity. A cross-sectional study has been carriedout, using total sample of 165 workers who operate sewing machine at ‘PTX’ Jakarta. The instruments used for this study is Stres Diagnostic Surveyquestionnaire to measure stress at work and another questionnaire foridentifying dysmenorrhea and other risk factors. Analytical techniques usedChi-Square and logistic regression. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was37%, and prevalence for stres at work was 25,4%. High level stres at workhave arise 2,24 times with dysmenorrhea (p=0,029 ; OR = 2,27 and 95%CI: 1,08 – 4,76) also with work period over five year (p=0,010 ; OR = 0,36and 95% CI : 0,16 – 0,78) is decrease dysmenorrhea 64% . This study hasshown that dysmenorrhea among workers of sewing machine operate at ‘PTX’ Jakarta was correlation with high level stress at work and work periodless than five year.

Background Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) before and after specific inhalation challenge has been postulated as an additional tool in the diagnosis of occupational asthma (OA), but little is known about serial FeNO measurements at home and at work. The aim of the present study was to assess the contribution of serial measurements of FeNO off and at work toward the diagnosis of OA. Methods Forty-one subjects with suspected (n = 35) or diagnosed (n = 6) OA performed FeNO measurements once daily during a 2-week holiday and a subsequent 2-week work period. A work-related increase in FeNO by 20 ppb (parts per billion) or more was considered positive. Subjects with negative or doubtful specific inhalation challenge but a FeNO increase of 20 ppb or more were evaluated individually by an overall expert rating taking into account all available information. Results Seven of 35 subjects (20%) with suspected and three of six subjects (50%) with diagnosed OA showed a work-related FeNO increase of 20 ppb or more. Six of the seven with suspected OA were reclassified as having an OA diagnosis by the overall expert rating which also considered these FeNO changes. Conclusions Serial FeNO measurements off and at work provide complementary information in the diagnosis in about one-fifth of cases with suspected OA, especially if specific inhalation challenges are negative or cannot be performed.

Multi-frequency wave method and single-frequency wave method can be used in anti-seismic qualification for nuclear-safety-class equipment. At present, multi-frequency wave is the most commonly method used for anti-seismic qualification. Due to long work period of qualification, large input of manpower and high test cost, multi-frequency wave method has become the bottleneck for the development of anti-seismic qualification techniques for nuclear-safety-class Instrumentation & Control equipment. As the qualification techniques for nuclear-safety-class I&C Equipment in China are becoming increasingly mature, the single-frequency wave method has become an efficient and low-cost method with reusable results for the qualification techniques of nuclear-safety-class I&C equipment. This paper puts forward an anti-seismic test method by use of sine beat in accordance with the requirements on anti-seismic tests for I&C equipment of nuclear power plants in the national standards of nuclear industry and in combination with the test features of Single-frequency wave method. Viewing from specific cases of sine beat tests on nuclear-safety-class I&C equipment, the sine beat method has been proven to be applicable and feasible, serving as an economical, efficient and reliable anti-seismic qualification method for equipment of nuclear industry.

Background: The major occupation of Sumberejo villagers is a vegetable farmer. A lot of farmers use organophosphate pesticide spray. Improper use of spraying pesticide may cause harmful health impact in human. Organo­­phosphate pesticide is poison­ous and it affects the blood profile of far­mers. This study aimed to examine the asso­ciation bet­ween organo­phosphate pesticide exposure and erythrocyte sedimenta­tion rate (ESR) among far­mers in Sumbe­rejo Village, Magelang, Central Java. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Sumberejo Village, Magelang, Central Java, on April 2017. A total sample of 43 farmers was selected from a population of 110 farmers for this study by purposive sampling. The dependent varia­ble was ESR. The independent variables were frequency of spraying (exposure/week), number of pes­ticide, dose of pesticide, length of work (exposure/day), work pe­riod (years of exposure), the use of personal protection equipment (PPE), and level of cho­line­s­te­rase. The ESR data were collected by laboratory test. The other data were col­lected by questionnaire. The bivariate analysis used the chi-square test. Results: Frequency of spraying, number of pesticides, length of work, work period, the use of PPE, and level of choli­nes­­terase, were associated with ESR, but they were not statistically significant (p>0.050). The association between dose of pesticide and ESR was statistically significant (p= 0.048). Conclusion: Dose of pesticide is associated with ESR. However, PPE usage, length of work, work period, number of pesticides, frequency of spraying, and level of choli­nes­te­rase, do not show statistically significant association with ESR in this study. Keywords: exposure, organophosphate pesticide, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, farmer, level of choli­nes­te­rase

Objective This study aimed to examine the effects of accumulating nursing work on maximal and rapid strength characteristics in female nurses and compare these effects in day versus night shift workers. Background Nurses exhibit among the highest nonfatal injury rates of all occupations, which may be a consequence of long, cumulative work shift schedules. Fatigue may accumulate across multiple shifts and lead to performance impairments, which in turn may be linked to injury risks. Method Thirty-seven nurses and aides performed isometric strength-based performance testing of three muscle groups, including the knee extensors, knee flexors, and wrist flexors (hand grip), as well as countermovement jumps, at baseline and following exposure to three 12-hour work shifts in a four-day period. Variables included peak torque (PT) and rate of torque development (RTD) from isometric strength testing and jump height and power output. Results The rigorous work period resulted in significant decreases (−7.2% to −19.2%) in a large majority (8/9) of the isometric strength-based measurements. No differences were noted for the day versus night shift workers except for the RTD at 200 millisecond variable, for which the night shift had greater work-induced decreases than the day shift workers. No changes were observed for jump height or power output. Conclusions A compressed nursing work schedule resulted in decreases in strength-based performance abilities, being indicative of performance fatigue. Application Compressed work schedules involving long shifts lead to functional declines in nurse performance capacities that may pose risks for both the nurse and patient quality of care. Fatigue management plans are needed to monitor and regulate increased levels of fatigue.

Contact dermatitis is one of the most common occupational diseases, with serious impact on quality of life, lost days at work and a condition that may be chronically relapsing. Regular prophylactic skin cream application is widely acknowledged to be an effective prevention strategy against occupational contact dermatitis; however, compliance rates remain low. To present a simple programme for skin cream application in the workplace with focus on implementation to drive down the rate of occupational irritant contact dermatitis, an expert panel of eight international dermatologists combined personal experience with extensive literature review. The recommendations are based on clinical experience as supported by evidence‐based data from interventional studies. The authors identified three moments for skin cream application in the work place: (i) before starting a work period; (ii) after washing hands; and (iii) after work. Affecting behaviour change requires systematic communications, monitoring and reporting, which is proposed through Kotter's principles of organizational change management. Measurement tools are provided in the appendix. Interventional data based on application of this proposal is required to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Disarankan kepada Dinas Tanaman Pangan dan Holtikultura Provinsi Riau untuk mengadakan senam pagi setiap minggunya guna memperkuat masa tulang, menurunkan nyeri sendi kronis pada pinggang, punggung dan lutut mengingat kejadian low back pain ini berhubungan dengan umur dan masa kerja.

Farmers in Indonesia are very dependent on pesticides to protect their crops from pests. Farmers are one of the subjects who are susceptible to pesticides and can cause disease due to pesticide accumulation. One of the disease that can arise due to exposure to pesticides is liver damage. This study wanted to determine the effect of pesticide exposure on liver damage seen from AST and ALT enzyme levels using farmer respondents in the Mojokerto area of 25 respondents. From the results of the study it was found that AST levels were influenced by age (P = 0.017), length of work (P = 0.035), and PPE usage (P = 0.044), while age, work period, length of work and usage of PPE did not significantly influence to ALT levels. It can be concluded that age, length of work and use of PPE affect AST levels. Therefore, to prevent the occurrence of pesticide poisoning, farmers must obey the rules on the use of pesticides such as using PPE regularly and always consuming healthy food.

HMCS Victoria Repair Work Period was a strategic partnership between a naval repair facility and an industry partner fostering ground up cultural change and pushing the limits of integration at the waterfront. Many traditionalists might argue that partnering with industry via in-service-support (ISS) contracts is a precursor to rendering naval maintenance facilities redundant, thus accelerating their obsolescence. However, the HMCS Victoria Repair Work Period (VIC RWP) in the Royal Canadian Navy’s (RCN) dry dock in Esquimalt, BC presented a unique opportunity to further a philosophy predicated on an integrated and synergetic approach. A vast work scope, complex submarine design, supply chain issues exacerbated by specialized labour shortages, spurred a change to a long standing approach to submarine maintenance, namely with a Request for Proposal for integrated support resulting in a long-term partnership aimed at achieving the operational requirements of the RCN.

Introduction Increased rates of leukaemia have been found among tanker crews. Exposure to benzene could be a cause since many products transported on tankers contain benzene. In a cohort of seafarers we studied cancer incidence among tanker crews. Methods All persons in the Swedish Registry of Seafarers 1985–2011 with registered work periods were included in the total cohort (n=75 745) and followed up for cancer incidence from 1985 or first work period to emigration, cancer or 2011. A sub-cohort of tanker crews (n=14 596 with at least one month on tankers) were used for this study. Standardised incidence ratio (SIR) were analysed with 95% confidence intervals (CI) in relation to the Swedish population. Result Total cancer risk for tanker crews was SIR 1.07 (cases n=1006, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.14). The risk for lung cancer and leukaemia was increased, SIR 1.86 (n=127, 95% CI: 1.54 to 2.19) and SIR 1.40 (n=43, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.82), respectively. The risk for lymphoma and multiple myeloma was not increased. Most (90%) of the crew members were men. There was a trend to normalised cancer incidence with time, analysing first employment before 1985, 1985 to 1991 and after 1991, significant for lung cancer (p=0.03). In the total cohort the risk for lung cancer was SIR 1.52 (95% 1.37–1.66) and for leukaemia SIR 0.94 (95% 0.78–1.11). Discussion Seafarers working on tankers had an increased risk for leukaemia, which other seafarers did not have. Measurements on product tankers have shown that the deck crew could be exposed to rather high concentrations of benzene, especially during loading, unloading and tank cleaning operations. During the last decades, benzene exposure on tankers has presumably decreased (lower benzene content in gasoline, modern shipping with closed loading and unloading of tankers), possibly also resulting in decreased leukaemia incidence.

In the US tree fruit industry, in attempt to improve the efficiency of orchard workers; harvest-assisting mobile platforms have been introduced. However, the effect these mobile platforms have on physical exposures, i.e. non-neutral work postures, has not been evaluated. The purposes of this study were to compare ergonomic risk factors between a new apple harvesting method using mobile platforms and the traditional method using ladders. Twenty-four workers participated in this study and were equally divided into three groups, harvesting apples from ladders (n = 8), mobile platforms (n = 8) and the ground (n = 8). Upper arm and back inclinations were continuously monitored and calculated over the whole work period, excluding breaks. Upper arm posture was characterized in terms of the percent of time when upper arm flexion and abduction exceeded 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 80 and 90 degrees. Back inclination was characterized as the percent time forward bending exceeded 10, 20 and 30 degrees. The results showed that the workers on the mobile platform typically had lower postural exposures than the ground and the ladder workers, respectively.
