Abstract

Physical growth and sexual maturity are two important events in the childhood phase. Measurement and assessment of development of body size is the best ways to understand the adaptive respond when face enviromental challenges of the traditional population. Several populations show that girls and boys tend to show varying ages and rates of growth and sexual maturity. The aim of this study was to study the growth patterns of height, weight and age at menarche in children of the Biak tribe in the Padaido Islands Region, Biak Regency, Papua Province. Cross-sectional research was designed to the children consisting of 130 boys and 153 girls. In order to determine the age at menarche using the status quo method.  The growth curve was analyzed using the Generalized Linear Model for Location, Shape and Scale (GAMLSS) model and the age of menarche was analyzed using the Probit-GLM analysis. Although geographic condition of Padaido island was isolated, the infrastructure and sosioeconomic conditions were indequate, however the age at menarche of Padaido girls (13,2 years) was included in the same category as the age at menarche nationally. The physical growth curve (height and weight) for girls exceeds that of boys before and during menarche, then decreases after menarche. This pattern is in line with previous research that girls have a larger stature at puberty because they accumulate body fat in preparation for menarche and the development of secondary sex characteristics. The environmental challenges have implications for the limited availability of energy to regulate maximum skeletal growth achieved at a young age, while the development of fat mass is achieved more slowly after sexual maturity. This describes a shift that deviates from the normal growth and development of the body..

Abstract

Papua has a high level of species diversity and endemism. This community service activity (PKM) is motivated by the decreasing of Papua's biodiversity due to anthropogenic activities and global warming, so it is necessary to make efforts to increase public awareness, especially among the children about the concept of protection, management, and use wisely and sustainably for Papua's diversity. Therefore, we carried out socialization about the Papuan animals and their conservation status to students at SMA Negeri 1 and SMA YPPK St. Arnoldus Jansen in Bintuni Bay District, West Papua Province on 10-11 December 2021. Socialization activities involve lectures, questions, and answers, filling out questionnaires, and giving rewards. The results showed that 61.54% of participants did not know the conservation status of animals in Papua based on Indonesian and international regulations. In addition, as many as 87.18% of participants stated that some animals in Papua were sold in the market and participants also consumed some of these animals. However, the participants' desire to protect Papua's animals is quite high (94.87%).
