Judul: The Influence of Nutrition Education on Mother's Knowledge about Balanced Diet and My Plate
Abstrak: Pengetahuan gizi ibu merupakan salah satu hal penting dalam perbaikan gizi ibu, anak, dan masyarakat karena ibu berperan utama sebagai pengasuh dan sumber informasi gizi dan kesehatan bagi anggota keluarga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh edukasi gizi terhadap pengetahuan ibu tentang gizi seimbang dan isi piringku. Penelitian ini menerapkan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain pre-test post-test intervention menggunakan data sekunder program Gerakan Edukasi Gizi dan Makan Bubur Bergizi (GEMA BUGIZI). Jumlah total subjek yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi penelitian sebanyak 542 ibu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa edukasi gizi yang dilakukan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan skor pengetahuan gizi seimbang, isi piringku, serta skor total gizi seimbang dan isi piringku. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa edukasi gizi yang dilakukan pada kegiatan “GEMA BUGIZI” berhasil meningkatkan pengetahuan gizi ibu., Mother’s nutritional knowledge is one of the important things in improving the nutrition of mothers, children, and society because mothers play a major role as caregivers and sources of nutrition and health information for family members. This study aims to analyze the effect of nutrition education on mother’s knowledge about balanced diet and my plate. This research applies a quantitative approach with a pre-test post-test intervention design using secondary data from the Nutrition Education Movement and Eating Nutritious Porridge (GEMA BUGIZI) program. The total number of subjects who met the research inclusion criteria was 542 mothers. The results of the study showed that the nutrition education carried out had a significant effect on increasing the knowledge score of balanced diet, my plate, as well as the total score of balanced diet and my plate. This shows that the nutrition education carried out in the

Judul: Pengaruh Pendidikan Gizi melalui Media Cakram Gizi Seimbang terhadap Pengetahuan dan Sikap Gizi Ibu serta Konsumsi Pangan Balita
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh pendidikan gizi melalui media cakram gizi seimbang terhadap pengetahuan dan sikap gizi ibu serta konsumsi pangan balita di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Pemenang. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi experimental study dengan pre-post test yang dilaksanakan pada bulan Juli 2018 di Desa Pemenang Barat, Kabupaten Lombok Utara. Subyek yang digunakan berjumlah 30 orang ibu balita. Penelitian ini terdiri dari 4 tahap, terdiri dari baseline/pre test, intervensi, post test 1 dan post test 2. Intervensi yang diberikan adalah pendidikan gizi dengan metode ceramah dan tanya jawab. Materi yang diberikan yaitu pedoman gizi seimbang menggunakan alat bantu berupa media cakram gizi seimbang. Subyek diberikan kuesioner berisi 19 pertanyaan tentang pengetahuan gizi dan 10 pernyataan tentang sikap gizi saat pre test, post test 1 dan post test 2. Survei konsumsi pangan balita dilakukan sebelum intervensi dan seminggu setelah intervensi dengan menggunakan kuesioner food recall 2x24 jam. Nilai rata-rata pengetahuan gizi pre test subyek adalah 82 ± 14 meningkat pada post test 1 dan post test 2 yaitu menjadi 95 ± 6 dan 96 ± 6. Hasil uji Wilcoxon berdasarkan nilai pengetahuan gizi saat pre test-post test 1 dan pre test-post test 2 masing-masing menunjukkan ada perbedaan yang signifikan (p=0.000; p<0.05). Uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan signifikan (p=0.365, p>0.05) antara nilai post test 1 dan post test 2 untuk pengetahuan gizi. Sikap gizi subyek berdasarkan hasil uji Wilcoxon masing-masing menunjukkan ada perbedaan yang signifikan (p=0.000; p<0.05) saat pre test-post test 1 dan pre test-post test 2, sedangkan post test 1-post test 2 menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan signifikan (p=0.063, p>0.05). Rata-rata tingkat kecukupan energi balita saat sebelum intervensi adalah 82.5 ± 16.8 %, meningkat menjadi 92.4± 19.2% setelah intervensi. Peningkatan yang sama pada tingkat kecukupan protein dengan rata-rata tingkat kecukupan protein balita saat sebelum intervensi adalah 83.6 ± 22.9%, meningkat menjadi 95.8± 19.0% setelah intervensi. Tingkat kecukupan energi dan protein balita menunjukkan adanya perbedaan nyata (p=0.000; p<0.05) sebelum intervensi dan setelah intervensi. Secara umum, pengetahuan dan sikap gizi ibu serta konsumsi pangan balita setelah mengikuti pendidikan gizi melalui media cakram gizi seimbang menjadi lebih baik dibandingkan sebelumnya.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
