Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is still a public health problem in the world, including Indonesia. This study aims to determine the relationship of ecological, epidemiological factors with the endemicity status of DHF in Makassar City in 2013. This study used a cross-sectional study design. A sample of 14 subdistricts in Makassar City, South Sulawesi Province, was categorized based on the endemicity status of DHF. Sampling using exhaustive sampling. Data collection is done through secondary data analysis, observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Mann Whitney test. The results showed that the ecological factors associated with the endemicity status of DHF in Makassar City were population density (p 0.05). Therefore, more attention needs to be paid to districts with high population densities and the need to establish trends in the spread of dengue cases based on ecological factors to determine areas prone to dengue fever and their treatment priorities.Keywords

Background: Benzene was a dangerous chemical compound which was one of the products of gas stations and one of the chemicals contained in gasoline and it was carcinogenic. TTo reduce and eliminate toxin of benzene from human body, could be used the detoxification process. One of the detoxification process approach was using foods. The aim of this research was to calculate the foods intake containing CYP2E1 enzyme, sulfation, and glutathione to improve benzene detox.
Method: The type ofr esearch was descriptive study. The subjects was 15 workers. Location of this research was in gas station Pancoranmas Depok. Variables were body weight, duration of work, working time perweek, working time perday, and benzene concentration. After getting all variables above, breathing rate and intake non-carcinogen per respondent can be calculated. Then, effective doses of foods containing CYP2E1 enzyme, sulfation, and glutathione would be obtained.
Results: All respondents were at workplace shows benzene concentration below the TLV. The highest effective dose of foods containing CYP2E1 enzyme was cow brain, sulfation was tuna, and glutathione was carrot.
Conclusion: The level of adequacy of enzyme of each respondent was different. Effective dose of each respondent depending on body weight, duration of work, and benzene concentration at workplace. Every respondent could choose foods depending on their needs and taste.

Introduction:Poor hospital building environment quality is due to presence of potential sources of airborne microbial and may lead to HAIs (Hospital Acquired Infections). The research aimed to find out the relationship between the Bacillus sp. and Enterobacter sp. in the air with HAIs incident potential.
Material and Method:This research was conducted in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo hospital. This was an analytic observational research with the cross-sectional study design. Samples taken were human samples based on the criteria of the research as many as 61 patients, and the environmental samples were as many as 8 ICU rooms. The data were analyzed using the Chi-square test.
Findings and Discussion:The research result indicates that the air quality related to the microbial pollution in the air in intensive care unit room does not qualify. The result of the microorganism culture and identification is found the HAIs causing bacteria namely Bacillus sp. and Enterobacter sp. Based on the statistic test, the value of p=0.014 (95% confidence intervals) is obtained, so there is the relationship between Bacillus sp. with HAIs incident potential. The Enterobacter sp. bacterium indicates the value of p=0.437 (95% confidence intervals), so there is not have the relationship between the Enterobacter sp. bacterium with HAIs incident potential.
Conclusion:Bacillus in the air has the potential to cause HAIs in the ICU. Aspects of hygiene and sanitation appeared to be important factor in maintaining low microbial load in the air and further research is needed related to fungi and viruses in the air because of the potential source of HAIs.
