Abstract

Stunting is a condition of growth failure in toddlers, with the incidence rate in the North Lombok Regency reaching 19.3% in 2023. Although melongas, a traditional message technique widely practiced by the local community, is believed to support growth and development, there is currently no scientific evidence validating it in addressing stunting. The research aims to determine melongas massage’s effectiveness on stunted toddlers’ appetite and sleep quality. The research method uses a quantitative approach, a quasi-experimental with a nonequivalent control group design. The sampling technique uses saturated sampling. The research population consisted of 96 toddlers. Massage for toddlers using melongas method is carried out 2 times a week, lasting 10 to 15 minutes for 4 weeks. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The result revealed that most stunted toddlers who received massage therapy based on the melongas method experienced a significant improvement in appetite (47.91%) and sleep quality (75%). This study examines the relationship between massage therapy based on the melongas method and stunted toddlers’ appetite ( -value 0.021) and sleep quality ( -value 0.025). Toddler massage using the melongas method effectively increases stunted toddlers’ appetite and sleep quality.

Abstract

Tropical peatlands in West Kalimantan are severely constrained by extreme acidity (pH < 4.5), limiting maize productivity to 15 to 35% of genetic potential. Traditional peat burning exacerbates environmental degradation through CO₂ emissions and particulate matter release. This study evaluated red mud-KCl fertilizer combinations on soil nutrient availability and maize growth. A randomized complete block design examined five treatments with five replications (n = 25). Four treatment levels (R1 to R4) were applied with red mud doses (0.75 to 3.0 kg plot-1) with KCl fertilizer (42.6 g) versus controls. Red mud, an alkaline bauxite waste (pH 10 to 12), maintained heavy metal concentrations below regulatory thresholds. Statistical analyses employed ANOVA (α = 0.05) and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Treatments significantly elevated soil pH from 4.41 (control) to 5.45 to 5.67, transforming strongly acidic to moderately acidic conditions. Exchangeable K increased from 2.02 to 4.40 cmol(+) kg-¹, representing a 118% improvement in K availability. Available P improved by 13.4%, enhancing nutrient uptake capacity. The optimal treatment (R4: 3.0 kg red mud + KCl) demonstrated superior maize performance with significantly greater plant height, stem diameter, and maize ear weight than controls. Treatment R4 achieved the most favorable soil chemical properties, including optimal cation exchange capacity and nutrient retention, creating ideal growing conditions that maximized maize genetic potential expression in previously unproductive acidic peatland soils. Results indicate substantial potential for sustainable peatland agriculture through red mud-KCl soil amendments. Future investigations should assess long-term environmental sustainability, socio-economic viability, and farmer adoption mechanisms for implementing this amelioration strategy in tropical peatland systems.

Abstract

Termites function as soil engineers and play a crucial role in the decomposition of organic matter. This study was conducted in the Alas Bromo Educational Forest under pine stands of various age classes. The objective of the research was to investigate the influence of termite activity on soil fertility, as indicated by the levels of soil organic matter (SOM), soil organic carbon (SOC), and soil pH. The method employed involved baiting pinewood stakes placed in polyvinyl chloride pipes (PVC) to assess termite activity, which was evaluated based on the level of damage to the stakes and classified into damage classes. The stakes used were made of pine wood, similar to the species of the overlying stands. This study identified four termite genera in the Alas Bromo area: Macrotermes, Microtermes, Odontotermes, and Schedorhinotermes. The findings revealed significant differences in SOM and SOC across the stake damage classes within each stand. In general, the highest values were observed in soils with the highest levels of termite activity, as reflected in damage class 4. However, soil pH values did not show significant differences across the varying levels of termite activity. These findings highlight that termites, as soil engineers, play a vital role in enhancing soil fertility and hold promising potential for application in the pursuit of sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

Environmental damage has become an increasingly evident global threat, urging humanity to become more environmentally conscious. One effort to address this is by purchasing environmentally friendly products, such as eco-labeling bottled water. This study analyzes the influence of ecological labels, advertising, price, attitudes, and environmental awareness on Generation Z’s purchasing decisions for ecologically labeled bottled water in Tangerang City. The basic method of this study is causal-comparative. The location of the study was determined purposively, namely in Tangerang City, Banten. This study used primary and secondary data, analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS version 3. The study used an accidental sampling technique, with 150 respondents from Generation Z aged 18 to 27 who had purchased eco-labeled bottled water. The analysis results show that eco-label, price, attitude, and environmental awareness positively and significantly influence the purchasing decision of eco-labeled bottled water among Generation Z in Tangerang City. In contrast, advertising has a positive but insignificant influence. Attitude influences the purchasing decision of eco-labeled bottled water, followed by price, environmental awareness, and eco-label. Industry players should continue to innovate to create products without ignoring environmental sustainability and set optimal prices comparable to product quality. In addition, industry players need to improve communication of the benefits of ecological products through education with clear information on the packaging or eco-label campaigns.

Abstract

One indicator of community nutritional status is the nutritional status of children under five. Efforts to achieve good nutritional status for children under five cannot be separated from the role of parents, especially mothers, as caregivers because mothers are responsible for organizing family meals, including for children under five. Therefore, this study aims to assess the dominant risk factors related to maternal parenting in feeding with the nutritional status of toddlers. The research method used was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. Data collection was conducted at the integrated health post (Posyandu) Mampang Village, Depok City, in May 2024, which coincided with the month of monitoring toddler growth and development. The population of this study was 1,853 toddlers. While the number of samples taken was 92 toddlers using the purposive sampling technique. The instrument used was a maternal parenting questionnaire modified from the Ministry of Health’s infant and young child feeding guidelines, and the reliability test results of this questionnaire were 0.722. Data analysis used the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis used the logistic regression risk factor model. The results showed that 87% of toddlers had good nutritional status and 13% were malnourished. Based on the study result, the factor that plays the most role in the nutritional status of toddlers is the provision of main meals 3 times (p-value 0.000) and snacks 2 times a day (p-value 0.046). Training in feeding the type and amount, how to serve, and variety of food diversity is necessary to improve toddlers’ optimal growth and development.

Abstract

Functional foods rich in bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, have gained attention for their potential role in managing blood pressure. Physalis angulata L., commonly known as Ciplukan, is a tropical fruit with a high quercetin content, a flavonoid known for its antioxidant and vasodilatory properties. This study aims to evaluate the application of Ciplukan juice as a nutritional therapy on blood pressure in patients with hypertension. The study used a quasi-experiment pretest-posttest control group design. The quercetin content in the Ciplukan juice was analyzed using the High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method at the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) Integrated Laboratory Universitas Diponegoro. The sample in this study was 47 individuals with hypertension from Gambirsari Health Center, Surakarta, Indonesia. Subjects were randomly divided into control and treatment groups. The control group was given amlodipine per day and nutrition education. The intervention group received amlodipine, nutrition education, and 250 ml of Ciplukan juice per day. The research was conducted for 30 days. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon test. The test results showed a significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the control and treatment groups with a p-value of 0.000. The reduction in systolic blood pressure in the treatment group was 20.5 mmHg greater than the control group. The decrease in diastolic blood pressure in the treatment group was 10.8 mmHg greater than in the control group. Consuming Ciplukan juice 250 ml per day for 30 days was suggested to reduce blood pressure in hypertension effectively.

Abstract

Bagasse, one of the largest agricultural wastes with suboptimal utilization, could improve Entisols in the tropics by enhancing soil fertility and crop productivity. This study aimed to determine the changes in humic substances and nutrient levels in Entisols and their effects on shallot yield. The study was designed using a completely randomized design, consisting of four treatments of organic matter combinations with NPK fertilizer, four single organic matter treatments, one standard NPK fertilizer dose, and one control. Each was replicated three times. The results showed that using bagasse improved soil conditions by increasing C content and nutrient levels in the soil, enhancing nutrient absorption by plants, and consequently boosting crop yields. The biochar + bagasse compost (2:4) (bio-compost) + NPK resulted in high soil organic C, humic acid, fulvic acid, nutrient availability, and plant nutrient levels, which were comparable to the manure treatment, and significantly increased shallot yield in Entisols. The findings of this study could support the development of nutrient management strategies utilizing bagasse as a potential soil amendment for Entisols.

Abstract

Land clearing after harvest in sugarcane cultivation is often done by burning. However, burning influences the ecosystem, such as the chemical and biological characteristics of soil. This research aims to analyze the impact of different methods of clearing sugarcane fields on the chemical and biological conditions of the soil. This research used a non-factorial, completely randomized design (CRD) with two treatments: land clearing with burning and without burning. Each treatment was carried out on an area of 50 m2 with two blocks as repetitions. For chemical and biological analysis, soil samples were taken from pitfall traps and soil monoliths (1 m x 1 m x 30 cm). Two treatments showed significant differences in the total N and available P, and burning reduced 21% the number of organisms significantly. There were significant differences between the two treatments regarding the macrofauna diversity index, species evenness value, and dominance index. Post-harvest burning significantly reduces total N and available P and negatively impacts biological indicators such as organism numbers, diversity, evenness, and dominance index. This decrease in organic matter causes a reduction in the populations of organisms, thus disrupting soil health. Therefore, this study recommends that sugarcane residues be returned to the land as a source of organic matter to maintain soil health, biodiversity, and optimal productivity.
