Judul: Implementasi Kebijakan Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja pada Industri Mebel Skala Mikro dan Kecil di Kabupaten Jepara
Abstrak: Industri mebel Jepara berskala mikro dan kecil sangat penting bagi Kabupaten Jepara, karena mampu menciptakan lapangan kerja bagi 280-350 ribu usia produktif. Kontribusi nyata sektor industri mebel ini pada Produk Domestik Regional Bruto Jepara mencapai lebih 22,6% pada tahun 2010. Para pekerja di industri mebel berperan penting di balik kondisi ini. Kondisi tempat kerja industri mebel kayu menunjukkan kondisi yang tidak aman. Namun upaya perlindungan terhadap Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3) bagi para pekerja belum tampak. Penelitian dengan pendekatan kualitatif ini menguraikan implementasi kebijakan K3 di industri mebel kayu di Jepara, mengidentifikasi aktor yang terlibat dalam kebijakan K3 dan menemukan alternatif strategi pengembangan K3. Informan dalam penelitian ini adalah para pekerja di industri mebel, pemilik/pengurus usaha mebel, lembaga legilatif, dinas tenaga kerja, dinas kesehatan, puskesmas, perguruan tinggi dan LSM. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlindungan K3 belum diterapkan pada industri mebel skala mikro dan kecil. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya antara lain terkait dengan masalah yang tidak mudah dikendalikan menyangkut perilaku, kebijakan yang ada saat ini belum dapat menstrukturkan implementasi dan faktor di luar kebijakan seperti kondisi sosial ekonomi pekerja. Alternatif strategi implementasi K3 yang disarankan yakni peningkatan kesadaran para pekerja dan pemilik/pengurus usaha tentang K3, peningkatan kapasitas pemda baik kualitas maupun kuantitas dalam menjalankan fungsinya dalam implementasi K3, pelibatan para pemilik/pengurus usaha melalui asosiasinya untuk mengintegrasikan K3 dalam aspek bisnisnya, dan penyusunan perda tentang K3 di Jepara.

Judul: Identifikasi Kondisi Lingkungan Kerja dan Persepsi Pekerja Industri Mebel Kayu Jati terhadap Perlindungan K3 di Kabupaten Jepara
Abstrak: The forestry sector is an activity that has a high level of risk because of work must be faced with the difficult working conditions. One of the works included in the forestry sector is the timber industry, or better known as the furniture industry. Event furniture industry consists of activities forming component (sawmill), sanding and finishing. These activities can lead to potential accidents at work if the worker does not understand the dangers that can occur from these activities, and therefore required considerable knowledge of occupational safety and health (OSH) protection to prevent accidents. This study aims to describe the working conditions and the general perception of the teak wood furniture industry workers about OSH protection in the Mulyoharjo Village Regency of Jepara. Collecting data in this study was obtained through in-depth interviews about the occupational safety and health protection against 90 respondents were included in the category of workers with the types of activities such as the formation of the components (sawmill), sanding and finishing. The results obtained in this study showed a dangerous working conditions with physical and chemical factors values above threshold value and the presence of significant difference between the value of self-assessment and control value-based assessment in which respondents are overestimates and has a poor level of knowledge.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
