Abstract

Background: Stunting is considered a chronic nutritional problem with serious impacts. In 2021, SSGI reported a 24.4% prevalence of stunting in East Nusa Tenggara, with South Central Timor (48.3%) experiencing the highest cases. Stunting causes are multifactorial, influenced by inadequate nutrition, sociodemographic factors, and paternal roles affecting parenting and infection susceptibility. Objectives: This study aims to determine the risk factors for stunting according to sociodemographic characteristics and fathers' role in the South Central Timor Regency. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative design was used, including 280 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Inclusion criteria were children aged 6–59 months residing in Noesiu and Tobu Villages, possessing a Child Health Card (KIA), and providing informed consent. Exclusion criteria were families of stunted children who were absent or had relocated. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, anthropometric measurements, and secondary sources. Logistic regression was used for both bivariate and multivariate analyses. Furthermore, variables with p-values<0.25 in the bivariate stage were incorporated into the final model. The Kupang Health Polytechnic's Health Research Ethics Committee provided the ethical permission (No. LB.02.03/1/0156/2024). Results: Stunting was found to be significantly associated with low birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, a history of infectious diseases, mothers' nutritional status (chronic energy deficiencies), and paternal role (p-value<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified maternal nutritional status and exclusive breastfeeding as the most influential factors. Conclusions: Maternal nutritional status and low rates of exclusive breastfeeding were identified as major risk factors for stunting. Further studies should include variables such as immunization status, smoking habits, and diet.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between Treasury Single Account and the performance of public sector in Nigeria. Quarterly secondary data were sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria’s Statistical Bulletin over the period 2010Q1 to 2020Q2. The paired-sample t-test as well as the Least Squares regression estimation techniques were employed to analyze whether significant differences existed in government revenue, expenditure, debt and GDP before and after the implementation of TSA as well as to ascertain the effect of TSA on the economy. Findings revealed that TSA has an insignificant negative influence on GDP and concluded that TSA implementation has not contributed positively to GDP in Nigeria. The study recommended that government should reappraise existing fiscal policy framework in order to enhance macroeconomic performance. Further, the legal framework for TSA should be reinforced to improve disbursement efficiency so as to ensure that it is not used as a tool in achieving political dominance.
