Identification of potential hazards is the basis of modern occupational safety management and hazards can threaten whenever and wherever including the agricultural sector. To develop the economic strength of the agricultural sector, it is necessary to increase productivity. One way that can be done is to increase employee productivity through the Employee Safety and Health program. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential physical hazards in the PPKS PTPN VII Bekri Business Unit. This type of research is interviews and observations that aim to find an overview of the assessment of physical potential hazards in the palm oil processing PT. Perkebunan Nusantara VII Bekri business unit. The physical potential hazards found in the Palm Oil Processing Plant (PPKS) are the potential hazards of noise generated by machines> 85dB, hot working climate inside the factory, vibrations from the processing process, and improper lighting in the factory. Physical potential hazards contained in the PPKS unit are auditory and non-auditory disturbances on the dangers posed by noise, headaches and dehydration as well as attacks that can arise due to heat, discomfort due to inappropriate lighting resulting in potential work accidents and the appearance of musculoskeletal disorders due to a potential vibration hazard

The IGD room is a unit that deals directly with the patient for 24 hours a day. Workload and high stress levels in the face of critical conditions require nurses to work quickly and appropriately. Based on data from the preliminary study of the researchers, nurses working in the Emergency Installation Room Anutapura Palu General Hospital are 31 nurses, aged between 23-45 years with an average work period of 7 years and the majority male. The data of accidents cases were 81 cases in bracket within 3 months January-March 2016, and most cases were found in IGD Anutapura Palu with 19 cases. The purpose of research to determine the factors associated with the incidence of occupational accidents in nurses in the Emergency Room of Anutapura Palu General Hospital. This research is a kind of quantitative analytic research with Cross Sectional design. Population in this research is all nurses who work in Emergency Room of Anutapura Palu General Hospital that amount 31 people, sampling with technique Total Sampling. The results of study were age (p = 0,002), sex (p = 0,019), use of APD (p = 0,007), regulation (p = 0,006), training (p = 0,007), supervision (p = 0,006) . However there is no working period relationship (p = 0,083) with Work Accident. It is expected that the management of the hospital to improve the quality of training and supervision and reinforce the rules that have been made by giving heavy sanctions to workers who get violated the rules.

Patient safety in the hospital is a system where the hospital makes the nurture of the patients safer which includes risk assessment, identification and management of patient-related risks. Patient safety problems in general in Anutapura Palu General Hospital are the occurrence of mismanagement by officers, including errors in discipline, communication, to technical errors.This research aimed to evaluate the implementation of patient safety policies for nurses at Anutapura Public Hospital at Palu. This research was quantitative in nature, as many as 72 respondents by using the Slovin formula. The results showed that the variable results in this research were input with value frequency of ≥50 % respondents who stated the good input. Process variables in this research were obtained from the value that in the process it was quite good seen from the value the frequency of ≥50 % respondents who stated that the process was good. The results of the analysis of variable output with value frequency of≥50 % respondents who stated that the output was good. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the results of the evaluation of the implementation of patient safety policies have been applied in Anutapura Public Hospital at Palu. It is expected that the hospital performs performance evaluation and monitoring complaints as well as satisfaction of service users on a regular basis in order todevelop the satisfaction of service users and the community.

Every year more than 36 million people die due to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD). Globally, the number one cause of death for NCD every year is cardiovascular disease. Coronary heart disease, heart failure, hypertension and stroke are cardiovascular diseases. Atherosclerosis can be a cause of cardiovascular disease. One of the therapies that can be done to treat atherosclerosis is curcumin compound. Curcumin is an active compound in turmeric (Curcuma domestica) which functions in reducing cholesterol, antioxidant, antitoxin and anti-inflammatory. Therefore, the potential effect of curcumin can be an alternative therapy to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. This study aims to prove the effectiveness of turmeric as an alternative therapy in reducing the risk of atherosclerosis. This type of research is a descriptive form of literature study that is made using secondary data in the form of sources obtained from library studies. The method used is collecting research results from various journals, case reports and research articles. From several studies conducted on humans, curcumin is safe to use and does not show toxic effects up to a dose of 500 mg given 2 times a day for 30 days. Curcuminoids found in turmeric have benefits as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant so that they can be used as alternative therapies for atherosclerosis.

Temperature, rainfall and relative humidity are considered important climatic factors that contribute to the growth and spread of mosquito vectors and potential dengue outbreaks. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of air temperature, humidity, and rainfall with the incidence of DHF in the city of Palu in 2013-2017. This type of research is quantitative with correlation design. The sampling technique uses total sampling. The data source uses secondary data, namely the number of DHF events from the Palu City Health Office and climate data from the Mutiara Palu Meteorological Station. Data analysis using Pearson correlation test, the results of the study showed the strength of the temperature relationship with the incidence of DHF was very weak (r = -0.087), negative patterned and there was no significant relationship (ρ = 0.253). The strength of the humidity relationship with the incidence of DHF was very weak (r = 0.029), positive patterned and there was no significant relationship (ρ = 0.412). The relationship strength of rainfall with the incidence of DHF was very weak (r = 0.001), positive patterned and there was no significant relationship (ρ = 0.496). The conclusion was not found a meaningful relationship between the variables of temperature, humidity, and rainfall with the incidence of DHF. To overcome the DHF incident, it is expected that the Palu City Health Office can increase efforts to control DHF by increasing environmental improvement by running programs such as 3M Plus, Mosquito Nest Eradication (PSN), Abatization, and fogging.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is a health problem that is contagious in tropical regions like Indonesia. Central Sulawesi data in 2017 the highest DHF cases are Palu City with 401 cases and Incidance Rate of 103.95 / 100,000 population with CFR of 0.49% and IR which is still above the national indicator that is 52 / 100,000 population. In 2017 the incidence of DHF in the South Bureau of South Bureau was reported as many as 26 cases of DHF with 1 person dead. The development of this disease is very fast and causes death in a short time, one of the factors causing DHF cases is climate change. The purpose of this study was to determine the Factors Associated with Efforts to Prevent Dengue Fever in the South Birobuli Village. The population in this study was the head of the family of 1,999 households using the Lameshow formula, the number of samples was 92 households taken by each RW. The sampling technique was using proportional stratified random sampling and using the chi-square test. Data analysis was performed univariately and bivariately at 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed knowledge (p = 0.021), attitude (p = 0.003), facilities (p = 0,000) and the role of health workers (p = 0,000), related to dengue prevention efforts. It is hoped that the P2 program manager in Dipuskesmas can increase counseling on dengue prevention efforts by eradicating mosquito nests such as the implementation of 3M plus regularly and continuously so that the community is able to be independent and routinely conduct dengue fever prevention efforts.
