“…Rapid changes in technology have changed the role of ergonomics. To adapt to this change, management must include direct worker participation and awareness in designing workplaces (Dimberg et al, 2015). Participatory ergonomics programs are the best way to get rid of, rethink, or redesign manual jobs in order to reduce the number of occupational musculoskeletal illnesses (Burgess-Limerick, 2018).…”

“…For an office to meet ergonomics standards, it needs to use the most up-to-date technology to make sure employees are comfortable. Replacing this technology costs a lot of money for the company (Dimberg et al, 2015). Regular training in the workplace can help employees learn how they can make a big difference in ergonomics (Pickson et al, 2017).…”

Background: The modern history of ergonomics can be traced back to the world war from 1939 to 1945. From the 1960s to the 1990s, there were many changes made to ergonomics. Some of these were cognitive ergonomics, organizational ergonomics, positive ergonomics, and spiritual ergonomics. Ergonomics is becoming more of an issue in organizations in both developed and developing countries since the rise of occupational safety and health. Today, every company in the world puts more thought into making their workplaces safe. Objective: The goal of this study is to fill in the gaps in the evidence between ergonomics and employee well-being, focusing on ergonomics, ergonomic practices, and employee performance. Methods: This study uses an exploratory research design and gathers information from secondary sources to back up the title. Research papers are carefully chosen from scientific databases like Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar by making criteria for each part to make sure the idea goes into depth and analyzes the role of ergonomics in improving employee performance. Results: Most research is done on physical ergonomics and organizational ergonomics. When people do research on ergonomics, they don't think much about how people act and think. Most ergonomics research is also done in industrial and developed countries, which makes sense. When it comes to research and use of ergonomics, developing countries are a long way behind. Most small businesses in developing countries don't care about ergonomics in the workplace. Conclusion: Accessing and improving ergonomics in the workplace could improve employee performance and productivity while reducing burnout, absenteeism, and turnover rates. So, it's important to study ergonomics more, especially for places like Nepal.

“…Panjang kursi pembatik tidak boleh melebihi panjang pantat popliteal dari pengguna terpendek. Sehingga, persentil yang digunakan adalah persentil 5 karena panjang kursi yang baik adalah tidak menekan bagian belakang lutut atau bagian kaki pengguna (Dimberg et al, 2015). Dimensi panjang kursi pembatik yang digunakan yaitu 39,25 cm.…”

Batik Tulis Tengah Sawah merupakan salah satu UKM yang terdapat di Pacitan dan bergerak dalam bidang kerajinan batik tulis. Dalam proses produksi, pembatik melakukan proses canting dengan posisi duduk pada kursi pendek (dingklik) terbuat dari kayu tanpa sandaran punggung. Kompor yang digunakan untuk melelehkan malam berukuran kecil dan tidak terdapat meja untuk meletakkan kompor serta digunakan oleh 2 pembatik sehingga mengharuskan pembatik duduk serong menghadap gawangan dan menyebabkan pembatik duduk dengan keadaan sedikit membungkuk. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan perbaikan mengenai fasilitas kerja dan stasiun kerja proses canting. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi postur kerja pembatik dan melakukan perancangan usulan stasiun kerja proses canting bagi pembatik. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan lima tahap, yaitu penilaian level risiko postur kerja, perancangan usulan kursi pembatik, perancangan usulan meja kompor, perancangan usulan gawangan dan perancangan usulan stasiun kerja proses canting. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah kursi pembatik dengan fitur sandaran punggung, busa duduk, sandaran tangan dan wadah tempat minum. Meja kompor digunakan untuk menambah ketinggian kompor dan gawangan untuk menyesuaikan dengan ketinggian pembatik ketika duduk di kursi pembatik. Serta perancangan stasiun kerja untuk menciptakan stasiun kerja lebih tertata dan memberikan kenyamanan pembatik selama proses canting sehingga dapat meminimasi postur tubuh membungkuk.

“…Approximately 50% of the coffee will be discarded and becomes by-product. The byproduct of the dry process is coffee husk, which consists of dried skin, pulp and parchment, whereas by the wet process, the by-products are coffee pulp and coffee silver skin [7]. In every 2 tons wet-processed coffee, almost 1 ton of pulp is formed and in every 1 ton of dry-processed coffee, 0.18 tons of coffee husk will be produced [8].…”

Approximately half of the coffee will become by-product in coffee processing. This by-product needs a special focus because of its content can be pollutant for nature. One of the coffee by product that underutilized is cascara, composed by pulp and husk. The major by-product of dry process is husk whereas pulp is the major by-product from wet process. Nowadays, there are various ways to utilize coffee by-product. Previous studies have shown that coffee has a potent antioxidant activity which can be a solution in dermatology problem. This research aims to identify the antioxidant component of coffee arabica husk and pulp of Gayo, Aceh Tengah, Aceh using GC-MS method. One of the compounds that identified in both coffee husk and pulp is caffeine. Caffeine is a potential natural antioxidant and it also has anticellulite effect to skin. The other compounds found in coffee husk and pulp also have benefit in dermatology. We conclude that coffee arabica husk and pulp can be a potential natural source to eradicate dermatologic problem.
