Published: June 2019

Indonesian government agencies under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources still use manual methods in determining and selecting proposals for operational activities to be carried out. This study uses the Decision Support System (DSS) method, namely Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Decision (Fmadm) and K-Means Clustering method in managing Operational Plan activities. Fmadm to select the best alternative from a number of alternatives, alternatives from this study proposed activity proposals, then ranking to determine the optimal alternative. The K-Means Clustering Method to obtain cluster values for alternatives on the criteria for activity dates, types of activities, and activity ceilings. The last iteration of the Euclidian distance calculation data on k-means shows that alternatives that have the smallest centroid value are important proposal criteria and the largest centroid value is an insignificant proposal criteria. The results of the collaboration of the Fmadm and K-Means Clustering methods show the optimal ranking of activities (proposal activities) and the centroid value of each alternative.

Published: June 2019

Library activities that are directly felt by users are services, which are considered the spearhead of libraries. Guarantee and empathy aspects of the Servqual Model and effect of service aspects on the LibQual + TM model are all closely related to one of the factors, namely librarian language skills, both verbal and non-verbal. Moreover, users who have used these services can be effective promotional tools to affect other users through Word of Mouth (WOM) promotion. WOM in an Islamic perspective can mean ‘da'wah’, an invitation to do good. This study aimed to examine perceptions of satisfaction with the librarian language skills and their relationship with WOM among UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Library users. Librarian language skills are divided into two categories, namely verbal and non-verbal. Verbal aspects consist of vocal parameters, word selection, sentence structure, and convenience aspects to be understood. Non-verbal aspects include gesture parameters, body position, tone, and intonation. The research method used survey method with a total sample of 400 users. Determination of the number of samples was performed by Slovin method and selected by accidental sampling technique. Results showed, Consumer Satisfaction Index (CSI) for verbal communication was 3.325, and non-verbal communication was 3.253. Both were in the "moderate" satisfaction range on a scale of 5. More than 22% of satisfied and very satisfied users stated that their satisfaction would continue with various WOM activities to invite others to visit the library. This shows the influence of satisfaction with WOM activities, although still on a small scale.
Perempuan, media dan profesi jurnalis
Authors: Stellarosa Yolanda , Silaban Martha Warta
Published: July 2019

Tahun 2018, reformasi di Tanah Air memasuki usia 20 tahun. Era di mana kebebasan berpendapat dan berekspresi hadir hampir di setiap sudut kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia, tidak terkecuali pada pekerja media. Namun, kondisi ini rupanya tidak sepenuhnya dialami jurnalis perempuan. Sebagian besar dari mereka masih mengalami diskriminasi di organisasi tempat bekerja dan saat bertugas di lapangan. Standarisasi jurnalis perempuan di setiap media belum sama. Semua itu tergantung pada kebijakan masing-masing redaksi. Pandangan bahwa pekerjaan ini lebih cocok untuk laki-laki, masih tampak dengan lebih banyak jumlah jurnalis pria dibandingkan perempuan. Penelitian ini ingin melihat perbedaan perlakuan perusahaan media terhadap jurnalis perempuan di dunia kerja dan bagaimana jurnalis perempuan berupaya untuk memperjuangkan nasibnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan melakukan wawancara kepada tiga jurnalis perempuan dari tiga media cetak nasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jurnalis laki-laki masih dominan dibandingkan perempuan di sektor media, dan sedikitnya jurnalis perempuan yang berada di jajaran puncak manajemen. Perbedaan perlakuan dalam hal fasilitas pekerjaan pun masih dijumpai, misalnya saja, fasilitas kesehatan, tunjangan keluarga yang dikaitkan dengan status single walaupun sudah berkeluarga, dan penyediaan ruang laktasi. Walaupun gerakan memperjuangkan kesetaraan gender di sektor media telah dilakukan oleh para jurnalis perempuan ini, akan tetapi budaya patriarki yang masih tertanam lekat membuat para jurnalis perempuan terutama yang telah menikah kehilangan semangat dan profesionalisme untuk menuju jajaran puncak.
UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUES OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Authors: Abdul Malek Jalaluddin , Lim Sengboon , Tahir Zurinah
Published: June 2019

Citizen participation is a much contested and conflicting term, whereby the general consensus highlighted its value for a democratic society. However, various complex issues regarding its understanding and implementation from power holders and citizens alike are abundant in practice. Therefore, this paper aims to make sense of the issues of citizen participation from the perspective of different stakeholders, such as power holders and have-not citizens. Purposive sampling on 45 informants was utilized in this study to facilitate a qualitative research design using in-depth interviews. Meanwhile, open and axial coding allowed the formation of themes regarding the understanding on the specific phenomenon of citizen participation in city programs conducted by the local authorities of the state of Selangor, Malaysia. The themes that surfaced as issues included the dependency on government resources, mismatch of interest, organized and collective citizen force, and life cycle approach and realistic volunteerism. This study contributed to the enrichment of knowledge on citizen participation issues, clarifying for citizens and power holders alike in fostering genuine participation that truly benefited all. Additionally, it underlined findings fundamental for further academic quantitative participation research. Keywords: Citizens’ dependency, conflicting needs, organized and collective opinion, power distribution, realistic volunteerism.Cite as: Abdul Malek, J., Lim, S., & Tahir, Z.

TEACHER BELIEF AND PRACTICE IN A SCHOOL-BASED ENGLISH LANGUAGE CLASSROOM IN EASTERN INDONESIA
Authors: Too Wei Keong , Saimima Eka J.
Published: June 2019

This study examines an English language teacher’s beliefs and practices within the context of implementation of school-based curriculum in Eastern Indonesia. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between teacher belief and practice in the school-based curriculum through two research questions: “What are the teacher’s beliefs about teaching English in a school-based curriculum setting?” and “How does the school-based curriculum influence the teacher’s beliefs and practices?”. This case study adopts purposeful sampling involving a volunteered public junior high school English language teacher. It derives its qualitative data from semi-structured interviews, observation field notes and lesson plans. It identifies two themes of this teacher’s belief: “pragmatic views of teaching” and “conformity to practice”. When the beliefs were examined in relation to the practices, another two themes emerged, and they were “negotiation between expectations and practices” and “tension between conformity and practice”. The findings of this study indicate that negotiation was a constant practice while teaching within the context of the school-based curriculum. Although the teacher demonstrated autonomy in classroom management and teaching strategies, the freedom was not extended to the selection of teaching materials and activities. The identified tensions between conformity and practice highlight issues in teacher readiness and teacher support on the implementation of school-based curriculum. Keywords: Classroom practice, English language teacher, Indonesia, school-based curriculum, teacher belief. Cite as: Too, W.

DO FATWAS HAMPER MUSLIM WOMEN’S SOCIO-ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION IN MALAYSIA?
Authors: Mohammad Monawer Abu Talib , Grine Fadila , Abdullah Md Faruk , Mohd Nor Mohd Roslan
Published: June 2019

A number of studies show that, in Malaysia, women continue to make significant contributions to the country’s economic and social development. Moreover, women’s access to health and education has increased rapidly over the years. However, some studies claim that socio-economic discrimination against Muslim women persists. Although several factors contribute to this discrimination, fatwas (a legal opinion of Muslim jurists on Muslim affairs) are accused of discriminating against Muslim women in Malaysia such as prohibiting the appointment of female judges in shariah courts, employment of women for night shifts i.e. in the electronic factories, police force, and hospitals. Women’s socio-economic participation is important as it empowers them and creates gender equality. This paper reviews 16 fatwas on five topics relevant to women’s socio-economic participation in Malaysia issued by 11 state muftis (who issue fatwa) during the period of 1970 to 2012 in order to realize whether they hamper their participation. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, this paper concludes that fatwas had neither affected their socio-economic participation nor shaped their life negatively. This paper is hoped to positively shape the society’s impression of fatwas and help Muslim women in Malaysia abide to Islamic teachings by realizing the good impacts of fatwas issued.  Keywords: Fatwa, Muslim, women, socio-economic participation, Malaysia. Cite as: Mohammad Monawer, A.

THE MEDIATING ROLE OF SELF-EFFICACY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT AND ORGANISATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOUR
Authors: Abdullah Meor Rashydan , Marican Sabitha , Mohd Kamil Nurul Liyana
Published: June 2019

Organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) is important in the organisational behavioural research. OCB contributes significantly to the success of an organisation through proactive behaviour in extra-role activity and active involvement in organisation operation to ensure efficiency and productivity in service delivery. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between work-family conflict as the antecedent of OCB and the role of self-efficacy as the mediating variable. Data were collected from 510 public administrators at Public Service Department, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health in Putrajaya, Malaysia. Data analyses were conducted using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the research model hypotheses related to the relationship between work-family conflict, self-efficacy and OCB. The findings confirmed that there is a significant negative relationship between work-family conflict and self-efficacy and there is no relationship between work-family conflict and OCB. Self-efficacy is proven to be a fully mediation variable in the relationship between work-family conflict and OCB. The results suggest that organisations should be aware of individual characteristics and work-family domain to foster participation and engagement in OCB. The findings of this study contribute to the literature especially on OCB and open new avenues for future research by providing new perspective on factors that influence individual behaviour and also the role of personal efficacy on those relationship. Keywords: Mediation analysis, Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB), self-efficacy, SmartPLS, work-family conflict. Cite as: Abdullah, M.

Published: June 2019

Two important features in Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) education are integration and solving real world problems.  Despite the efforts to promote STEM education awareness and interest among students and teachers, documented studies on how to explicitly integrate the existing STEM subjects curriculum standards in solving real world problems are limited. This paper describes the planning of after-school STEM education program focusing on relevant global issues related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that integrates the existing curriculum standards of three STEM subject in the lower secondary level. The data collection is mainly through document analysis of the three individual STEM subjects’ standard documents and the planned curriculum map for the school, along with the document on ‘Education for Sustainable Development Goals Learning Objectives’.  Four possible design challenges were formulated based on the themes in SDG incorporating selected standards from the three STEM subjects as well as addition of a few new related concepts and skills.  The description offers a way to assist educators in planning similar STEM education lesson or programmes or activities through integration of the existing individual STEM disciplines curriculum standards for different level and context relevant to the students.   Keywords: Contextual problem solving, integration, standard-based, STEM education, Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Cite as: Loh, S.

LEARNER-DRIVEN ORAL ASSESSMENT CRITERIA FOR ENGLISH PRESENTATION
Authors: Idris Mardiana Binti , Abdul Raof Abdul Halim Bin
Published: June 2019

Learner-centred assessment has been widely propagated in learner-centred approach. However, learners are rarely given the opportunity to engineer their own assessment. Therefore, this study attempted to gauge (1) the functionality of learner-driven oral assessment criteria scaling structure and (2) the reliability of learner-assessors in applying their own assessment criteria during oral presentation. In this study, 11 participants from an electrical engineering group, which consists of one year programme matriculation students, participated in assessment criteria development. First, participants discussed suitable criteria and scaling structure in small groups. Secondly, each group presented their oral assessment criteria for peer feedback. Thirdly, participants discussed and finalised the oral assessment criteria for the class. Fourthly, to test the learner-driven assessment criteria, three speakers from the group volunteered to present their speech. While presenting, these speakers were assessed by their peers. Participants’ ratings and scores were later analysed using the Many-Facet Rasch Measurement (MFRM) software. Findings show that despite the criteria being developed by learners, the scaling structures were functioning usefully with the Rasch Threshold measure indicated more than 1.4 logits between assessment levels and the learner-assessor reliability was > 0.80. The significance of this study lies in raising awareness for improving learners’ oral presentation skills as well as developing learner autonomy. Keywords: Learner autonomy, learner-centred, oral skills, Rasch measurement. Cite as: Idris, M. & Abdul Raof, A.

LINGUISTIC VARIATION AMONG SOUTH ASIAN ENGLISHES: A CORPUS-BASED MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Ali Sadia , Shehzad Wasima
Published: June 2019

Pakistani English is considered to be a distinct variety of English on the basis of its comparison with British English and American English. However, this claim is partial as its distinction from other varieties of English particularly used in South Asia has not yet been established. Thus, there is a need to investigate the similarities and differences between Pakistani and South Asian Englishes, and to analyse how far Pakistani English is distinct from other South Asian Englishes. Therefore, the present study aims at analyzing the linguistic features of Pakistani English as a separate variety from other varieties of English used in India and Bangladesh. For this purpose, a corpus of Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi English newspaper reportage was developed and analyzed using Biber’s (1988) multivariate/ multidimensional approach. The findings indicated that Pakistani press reportage is different from Indian and Bangladeshi press reportage on all the five dimensions, especially on Dimension 2, in which Pakistani press reportage is narrative, while Bangladeshi press reportage is non-narrative in nature. On Dimension 3, the press reportage of Pakistan is highly explicit as compared to Indian and Bangladeshi press reportage. Further, the sub-categories of Pakistani press reportage also exhibit variation when compared to the sub-categories of Indian and Bangladeshi press reportage. The possible causes of linguistic variation among these countries are their culture and geographical origin. It is further suggested that South Asian Englishes are evolving rapidly and linguistic variation among them certainly be a worth researchable area. Keywords: Multidimensional analysis, Pakistani English, press reportage, South Asian Englishes, world Englishes. Cite as: Ali, S. & Shehzad, W.

Authors: Knošková Ľubica , Garasová Petra
Published: June 2019

In recent years fast fashion has become a new trend. Fast fashion has changed the way how consumers are dressed and think about fashion. Clothes became cheaper, and shopping became a form of entertainment. The aim of the paper is to identify the economic impact of consumer purchases in fast fashion stores. Authors discuss fast fashion situation using results of own consumer survey, case studies, research studies and secondary data applying analysis, Abstraction, synthesis, deduction, comparison, description, and specification. Authors conclude that consumers’ purchases have a big impact on economics, because how we found out, fast fashion has a growing trend both in stores and in ecommerce. Form our survey it is evident that majority of consumers cannot link the high perceived quality of the clothing during shopping in fast fashion stores with achieved low level of durability during wearing. Increasing customer consumption can have a positive effect on economics, but also a negative impact on environment.

Authors: Nyoni Wonder , Pillay Manikam , Rubin Mark , Jefferies Marcus C
Published: July 2019

Organizational factors have long been suspected to have the greatest influence on individual and group behavior in the workplace, although there is little research on their influence in mining workplaces. In addition, there is little research on the influence of organizational factors on residual risk management in the mining industry. Consequently, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is needed in order to explore and understand this gap. This paper is a protocol developed using guidance from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015 to update a previous systematic review on a similar topic. The SLR protocol provides information related to the three sections (Administrative Information, Introduction and Methods) suggested by the PRISMA-P 2015. Eligibility criteria is divided into inclusion and exclusion criteria, which also provides the scope of the review. The search strategy will involve identifying studies published between 1980-2018 from the following electronic databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Proquest, EMBASE, ASCE and CINAHL). Quality appraisal of studies will be achieved through a non-structured approach (for non-empirical studies) and a Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool for empirical studies. The review will be presented as a narrative synthesis due to the qualitative nature of the topic under review.

In this study, cases of necrobasillozis detected
in a sheep herd in Kars province were described.A total of 12 deaths were noted
in 2-4 month-old sheep in a herd containing 210 animals. Three of dead animals
were brought to Kafkas University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Department of
Pathology for necropsying. Systemic necropsy was performed and tissue samples
were collected for histopathological and microbiological investigations. On
gross examination, yellow-white multifocal necrotic areas sizing up to 3 cm in
liver of one case, and up to 1 cm in lung of another animal were recognized. No
gross lesions were detected in the third animal. In microscopic examination of
these two cases in which lesions were detected, coagulation necrosis with
central calcification and peripherally located crumbs of leukocyte nucleus were
noted. In the animal with lung lesions, alveolar capillary hyperemia and
mononuclear cellular infiltration including neutrophil leukocytes were also
detected. In microbiological analysis, samples were inoculated onto specific
agars, incubated at aerobic, microaerobic and anaerobic conditions for 48 hours
and finally colonies grown on anaerobic environment in Eugon agar and blood
agar were evaluated. In inoculations made from the 2 lungs and 1 liver samples
that were collected from different animals, colonies that produce large
hemolytic areas were viewed. In gram staining, fusiform and gram (-) bacteria
were named as Fusobacterium necrophorum. The
results of the study indicate that necrobasillozis might be an important cause
of death in lambs in Kars province. It was also concluded that death due to
necrobasillozis might be seen in lambs with no apparent gross lesions.

Korean wave has became a current booming popular culture; reaching all continents of the world. This phenomenon is the result of cooperation from various actors, namely state and non-state actors. This paper aims to determine the role of the South Korean government in the accomplishments achieved by the Korean wave to date, by studying the literature that focuses on the Korean wave success. This paper concludes that the South Korean government acts as a stimulator, regulator and facility provider for the cultural industry to develop. While the success of the Korean wave in penetrating the world market is the result of the formulation of strategies and promotions conducted by non-state actors involved in the process of producing the Korean wave.
RESOURCE AMASSEMENT AS A TOOL OF MAXIMIZING SEA POWER IN THE INDIAN OCEAN
Authors: Khan Ramla
Published: June 2019

The paper discusses the fundamentals behind the Indian Ocean as the new pivotal of the twenty-first century cauldron, bearing high-yielding economic driving potential analyzed from the sparsely deliberated Classical Realist vistas of Morgenthau that form an intertwine between accumulation of resources and maximization of power. The aim of paper is to provide new dimensions to the IOR rivalry between the power-players whose preponderance remains vital to the control of the sea resources. The present geopolitical settings embedded in the virtues of multifaceted interdependence would not allow for war to be denominated as an appropriate strategy to win the concentrated control of sea wealth. Indian Ocean residues abundant possessions vibrant for the sustenance of human society, economic upheavals and for the purpose of modernizing military capabilities. The Blue Economy approach is subject of discussion in the study offers a way-out, stipulating joint development of resources as the rational approach which would foster cooperation, stability of the Sea-Lines of Communications and smooth running of the economic engines. The proposed approach would provide benefits extending to major littoral and regional states including India, China and Pakistan but also to the foreign stakeholders in the form of United States and Europe.   Key words: Sea Power, Power Maximization, Resource Politics, Blue Economy

Biodiesel sebagai bahan bakar nabati pengganti bahan bakar minyak memiliki fungsi yang sangat penting demi tersedianya pasokan energi jangka panjang, biodiesel dapat dibuat dari limbah minyak goreng bekas. Industri makanan
siap saji memproduksi limbah minyak goreng bekas bagi lingkungan, oleh karena itu sebaiknya limbah yang sudah tidak digunakan lagi, dikonversikan menjadi bahan bakar alternatif. Dari hasil test pendahuluan terhadap limbah
Minyak goreng bekas restoran siap saji, minyak tersebut mengandung asam lemak bebas diatas 5%. Oleh karena itu dilakukan proses esterifikasi dua tahap, yaitu esterifikasi asam dengan katalis H2SO4 dan esterifikasi basa (transesterifikasi) dengan katalis KOH. Pada tahap esterifikasi dilakukan beberapa variasi penelitian yaitu variasi mol metanol (5.3:1, 6.3:1, 7.3:1, 8.3:1, 9.3:1), variasi suhu (60oC,70oC,80oC), variasi waktu (30’,60’,90’,120’) dan variasi katalis (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%). Dari esterifikasi didapatkan hasil FAME terbaik yaitu pada metanol 9.3 mol sebesar 96.46 %. Kemudian dilakukan analisis transesterifikasi dengan variasi mol metanol (5.3:1, 6.3:1, 7.3:1, 8.3:1) dan variasi waktu (90’ dan 120’). Dari transesterifikasi dapat diketahui bahwa waktu optimum pembentukan biodiesel adapada waktu 90 menit dengan metanol 7.3 mol. Namun jika ditinjau dari sisi ekonomis, FAME sebesar 95.21% diperoleh saat metanol 6.3 mol. Presentase pembentukan FAME tiap satuan waktu juga diamati dalam penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kinetika pembentukan FAME serta penguraian trigliserida yang terjadi. Pada metanol 5.3 mol diperoleh konstanta reaksi sebesar 0.003170506/menit, sedangkan untuk metanol 5.5 mol diperoleh konstanta reaksi sebesar 0.006668549/menit dan untuk metanol 6.3 mol sebesar 0.004073389/menit.

Akurasi pH sebagai Parameter Tingkat PencemaranLogam Berat dalam Tanah
Authors: Widyatmoko H.
Published: June 2019

Parameter pH dapat digunakan untuk memperkirakan mobilitas unsur-unsur kimia dalam tanah. Penelitian ini menggunakan 100 conto soil yang telah dihomogenisasi. Untuk menentukan pH masing-masing conto sebanyak 30
gram dicampur dengan 75 ml 0,1 N KCl diaduk selama 30 menit menggunakan magnet. pH diukur menggunakan H+ ion-selective glass electrode pada kondisi, proses dan waktu pengukuran yang sama. Penentuan pH berlangsung setelah
tidak ada perubahan angka selama 1 menit. Untuk kalibrasi pH-meter digunakan Phosfat untuk pH 7.02 dan Phtalat untuk pH 4. Analisis logam terpilih Mn, Pb dan Cd dilakukan dengan melarutkan 5 gram conto ke dalam 40 ml aqua
regia, dipanaskan selama 1 minggu pada suhu 80oC dan kemudian dianalisis dengan AAS. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi total logam berat dalam tanah berkorelasi positif terhadap pH dan berkorelasi negative terhadap Eh.
Korrelasi ini bersifat spesifik sesuai untuk setiap logam dan dipengaruhi oleh keberadaan oksigen, senyawa organic dan fraksi butiran tanan. Sebagian besar logam dalam tatah terikat pada partikel-partikel tanah.

Hubungan Kadar Debu Lingkungan Kerja Unit Pengepakan Semen terhadap Kesehatan serta Upaya Pengendaliannya di PT Holcim, Bogor
Authors: Maria Sintorini Margareta
Published: June 2019

Kesehatan karyawan dalam suatu perusahaan sangat penting karena berhubungan dengan kinerja perusahaan tersebut. Penelitian pada perusahaan ini untuk mengetahui kadar debu pada lingkungan kerja, mengetahui keluhan dan gangguan yang diderita pekerja, dan mengetahui peranan alat pengendali debu terhadap keluhan dan gangguan penyakit saluran pernapasan dan iritasi. Pengamatan dilakukan di bagian pembuatan kantong semen dan pengepakan semen. Metodologi yang dipakai adalah cross sectional dengan pengukuran kadar debu dan penelusuran kasus keluhan gangguan pernapasan pada pekerja. Kadar debu rata-rata PM10 pada ruang pengepakan semen 7752,78 µg/m3 dan pada ruang pembuatan kantong semen adalah 103,3 µg/m3. Hasil penelusuran keluhan gangguan pernapasan 75% responden pada unit pengepakan semen dan 35% pada pembuatan kantong mengalami gangguan saluran pernapasan dan iritasi. Pada bagian pengepakan resiko pekerja mengalami gangguan kesehatan adalah 4,9 kali lebih besar dibandingkan resiko pekerja yang ada di lokasi pembuatan kantong. Pada lokasi pengepakan rsiko pekerja mengalami gangguan saluran pernapasan 10 kali lebih besar disbanding dengan pekerja dibagian pembuatan kantong. Untuk gangguan iritasi mata dan kulit pada pekerja di pengepakan semen mempunyai resiko 14,5 kali lebih besar dibandingkan di bagian pembuatan kantong. Hasil analisis spirometer pada ruang pengepakan semen menunjukkan 5 pekerja yang diambil dari 5 pekerja dalam sampel dinyatakan restrictive, berarti telah terjadi pengecilan kapasitas total paru. Sedangkan pada ruang pembuatan kantong semen terdapat 3 pekerja yang diambil dari total 5 pekerja dinyatakan restrictive dan 2 dinyatakan
normal. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah resiko gangguan pernapasan dan iritasi pada pekerja di ruang dengan kadar debu tinggi lebih besar dibandingkan dengan yang bekerja di bagian kadar debu rendah. Karena itu tetap
disarankan semua pekerja menggunakan masker sebagai alat pelindung diri utama selain helm, sarung tangan dan sepatu kerja. Alat pengendali pencemaran udara yang ada sebaiknya dipelihara dan dibersihkan secara berkala sehingga kerusakan dapat diminimalisir dan alat dapat bekerja maksimal.

Upaya Pengendalian Pencemaran Sungai yang diakibatkan oleh Sampah
Authors: Indrawati Dwi
Published: June 2019

Timbulan sampah dari hari ke hari cenderung meningkat dan bervariasi, sehingga seringkali sampah menjadi masalah karena pengelolaan yang belum baik. Pola pikir, pola sikap, dan pola tindak yang masih keliru terhadap sampah telah menimbulkan permasalahan sosial, lingkungan, dan kesehatan. Permasalahan lingkungan antara lain terjadinya kerusakan dalam sistem air, sehingga terjadi pencemaran air yang disebabkan aktivitas membuang sampah ke badan air. Ditinjau dari segi kualitas, kondisi perairan sungai di wilayah DKI Jakarta semakin menurun. Menurunnya kondisi tersebut salah satunya disebabkan karena pembuangan sampah ke sungai. Kegiatan pembuangan sampah ke sungai umumnya dilakukan oleh penduduk yang tinggal dan/atau beraktivitas di bantaran sungai. Oleh karena itu, prioritas untuk mengurangi jumlah sampah yang dibuang ke sungai lebih ditekankan kepada masyarakat yang tinggal dan/atau beraktivitas di dekat sungai. Upaya pengendalian pencemaran sungai yang diakibatkan oleh sampah masih terbatas dan diperparah dengan rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat dalam menjaga lingkungannya serta kurangnya penegakan hukum bagi pelanggar pencemaran lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pendekatan yang komprehensif dan holistik bagi pengendalian pencemaran sungai yang diakibatkan oleh sampah, agar dapat dipertahankan kualitas lingkungan perairan yang baik. Pemerintah hendaknya mengeluarkan kebijakan yang pada dasarnya merangsang penduduk untuk melakukan pengelolaan sampah dengan pendekatan 3R (Reduce, Reuse dan Recycle).
