Judul: Keragaan hasil penimbangan dan pencatatan berat badan serta ujicoba penggunaan bubble chart oleh kader posyandu di desa pemenang lomba UPGK tingkat Kabupaten di Yogyakarta
Abstrak: Penimbangan dan pencatatan berat badan merupakan salah satu kegiatan program gizi di Posyandu. Pakaian yang dikenakan anak balita seharusnya turut diperhitungkan untuk mengetahui berat badan yang sebenarnya, namun kenyataan di lapangan biasanya hal ini tidak dilakukan. Demikian pula masih ditemukan kader posyandu yang melakukan kesalahan dalam pengisian dan penafsiran data berat badan pada Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan kader posyandu memperoleh data berat badan anak balita serta melakukan ujicoba penggunaan Bubble Chart sebagai salah satu bentuk kartu pertumbuhan disamping KMS.

Judul: Tingkat Pengetahuan, Sikap, dan Praktik Gizi Kader Posyandu dan Status Gizi Balita di Kelurahan Baranangsiang, Bogor Timur
Abstrak: Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis gizi pengetahuan, sikap dan praktik pengkaderan serta status gizi anak di Baranangsiang, Bogor Timur. Penelitian ini menerapkan studi cross sectional. Jumlah seluruhnya dari 69 subjek kader di 15 Posyandu terpilih diambil sebagai sampel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 58% kader mempunyai gizi yang baik pengetahuan dan 5,8% kader mempunyai pengetahuan gizi cukup. Ada sebagian besar kader (94,2%) mempunyai sikap gizi baik dan 5,8% mempunyai sikap gizi cukup sikap. Kajian tingkat praktik menunjukkan 65,2% kader sudah baik praktik gizi dan 8,7% lebih sedikit dari yang lain. Ada 9 kasus anak dengan di bawah garis merah berdasarkan grafik pertumbuhan berat badan mereka dan lokasinya di 7 dari 15 Posyandu. Pengetahuan gizi kader mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan pengetahuan kader praktik gizi (p<0,05). Sikap gizi kader tidak ada korelasinya baik dengan praktik gizi maupun pengetahuan gizi (p>0,05).

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.
