Sustainable Practices and Microbial Quality of Cattle Offal in Slaughterhouses
Authors: Cândido Ana Raquel , Soares Kamila , Moura-Alves Márcio , Saraiva Cristina , Esteves Alexandra
Published: February 2025

As global income levels and population increase, meat consumption and production are rising, raising concerns about climate change, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability. Offal offers a sustainable, nutrient-rich, and economical alternative to muscle meat, providing proteins, vitamins, and minerals. This study was triggered by the scarcity of information on the microbiological quality of edible bovine offal, which is often associated with poor hygienic conditions during handling and processing at slaughterhouse. This study assessed the superficial microbiota present on cattle liver and tongue in a vertical slaughterhouse across various stages of the procurement process and on days with different slaughter volumes, with three sampling points: immediately after post-mortem inspection (Point 1); after the arrival of the viscera in the preparation room (Point 2); and in the refrigeration chamber at 3 °C (Point 3). Samples were analysed according to ISO methods for enumeration of mesophilic aerobic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, generic Escherichia coli, presumptive Escherichia coli O157, and Staphylococcus aureus and detection of presumptive Escherichia coli O157, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp. Microbiological counts were within the acceptability values stipulated in the amendment of Regulation EC 1441/2007 to Regulation EC 2073/2005 for cattle carcasses. In general, both viscera showed higher microbial counts on days with higher slaughter volumes, with the exception of Enterobacteriaceae and Staphylococcus counts on the tongue. There was also an increase in microorganism levels across the offal processing stages. Out of 144 samples, 20.83% were contaminated with presumptive Escherichia coli O157, 3.47% Salmonella spp., and 25% S. aureus. Therefore, although 20.83% of the samples tested were presumptive for E. coli O157, it is important to note that a considerable number of these presumptive positives may in fact have been negative after confirmation by molecular methods. However, the presence of presumptive E. coli O157 at high levels is one reason that the prevention of offal contamination requires more stringent measures. Preventing offal contamination requires stricter measures during slaughter procedures to ensure safety, reduce food losses, and enhance sustainability in meat production.

Background: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) hernia repair is the method of choice for many surgeons in treating inguinal hernias. While there have been many studies by domestic and foreign authors interested in recurrence, the problem of chronic pain after surgery has not received much attention, especially in domestic studies. This study evaluated the treatment outcome and chronic pain after laparoscopic extraperitoneal surgery for an inguinal hernia.

Methods: Including 113 male patients with 131 inguinal hernias scheduled for totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital and Hue Central Hospital from June 2019 to May 2021.

Results: The average age was 56.6 ± 16.7 years old. There was 15.1% chronic pain after surgery, mostly scrotum/testicular pain, with the mean sf-IPQ score of 2.4 ± 1.3. There was a statistically significant difference in operative time between the 2 groups of patients with and without chronic pain after surgery. The incidence of recurrent hernia was 2.2% at 3 months after surgery.

Conclusions: Totally Extraperitoneal repair in treating inguinal hernia is a safe indication with low rates of chronic pain and postoperative recurrence

Narva in the Economic System of the Livonian Order State
Authors:   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University, Bessudnova M. B. , Yakunina V. A. ,   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University
Published: February 2025

The article discusses the role of the Livonian Order in the development of commercial business in Narva as a town under the jurisdiction of the Order at the turn of the medieval and modern periods. The attention of Narva’s vogts towards its economic situation was marked by their personal responsibility for ensuring the needs of the castle and the town of the Order, which, due to its border location, was of strategic significance. Various forms of business activity, led by commercial fishing, served this purpose. However, the limited internal resources of Narva’s domain economy due to the small size of its hinterland and the limited support from other Livonian towns, forced the leadership of the Livonian Order and vogts acting on its behalf to focus on Narva’s external trade, particularly with Russia. The Order granting trading privileges, which was supported by the vogts’ positive impact on the town’s commerce, partially compensated for its absence of Hanseatic status and ensured close collaboration between the Order and local authorities. During periods of increased tension in Livonian-Russian relations, both governments have used Narva’s non-Hanseatic status to violate Hanseatic restrictions on trade with Russia, contributing to Narva’s transformation into a hub for “unusual” trade between Russia and Livonia. In order to ensure the uninterrupted flow of Russian export goods to Narva, bypassing posts of Reval and the Hanseatic League, vogts used their administrative resources to guarantee the inviolability of merchant transactions at both the local level and the level of the Reval town council.

Se concluyó que el networking emerge como un instrumento crucial para vencer los obstáculos que las pequeñas y medianas empresas del cantón la Maná requieren para su incorporación en mercados competitivos al fomentar su crecimiento sostenible.
La problemática constitucional y convencional de la aplicación de la condena del absuelto en el proceso por razón de la función pública
Authors: Núñez Pérez Fernando Vicente
Published: February 2025

La institución más polémica que incorporó el Código Procesal Penal de 2004 fue la condena del absuelto, es decir, la potestad que tiene la Sala Penal Superior, al resolver el recurso de apelación que se haya podido interponer contra una previa sentencia absolutoria dictada a favor del imputado (sede de primera instancia), en poder reformarla en una sentencia condenatoria en contra de este mismo sujeto procesal (sede de segunda instancia), decisión de condena que en su origen solo podía ser cuestionada por medio del recurso de casación. Sin embargo, el legislador nacional, a través de la Ley n.o 31592, del 26 de octubre de 2022, decidió reformar escuetamente esta norma adjetiva, en donde la novedad legal es que esta persona condenada tiene la posibilidad de impugnar su condena vía un nuevo recurso de apelación en el que se habilita que la Sala Penal de la Corte Suprema actúe como una instancia judicial, esto de acuerdo con las reglas exclusivas del proceso penal común (proceso base). Empero esta modificación legal ha omitido referirse a las reglas especiales del proceso por razón de la función pública (proceso especial), en el que el imputado es un aforado; con esta laguna legal se afecta la pluralidad de instancia, el doble conforme y la revisión integral, aspecto que ha quedado totalmente inadvertido por la doctrina especializada y la jurisprudencia nacional. Así, se plantean una serie de recomendaciones que se dirigen a cada uno de estos cuatro subprocesos y giran en torno a la necesidad de habilitar la posibilidad de impugnación vía recurso de apelación por parte del condenado por primera vez en segunda instancia, y se establece además la competencia respectiva a la Sala Penal Suprema que corresponda; por lo que de no darse dichas modificaciones no se podrá condenar en segunda instancia al previamente absuelto.

Authors: Varsi Rospigliosi Enrique Antonio , Torres Maldonado Marco Andrei
Published: February 2025

El Título preliminar de los códigos civiles es una pieza clave en el derecho comparado, pues ofrece las directrices esenciales para la interpretación y la aplicación de las normas. Aunque su regulación clásica ha mostrado cierta eficacia frente a las nuevas realidades jurídicas, económicas y tecnológicas, sigue siendo fundamental para mantener la coherencia del sistema legal. Este artículo busca proponer un marco teórico integral para el análisis del Título preliminar del Código Civil peruano, con el cual se cubre una carencia identificada en la doctrina jurídica nacional y se resalta su función estructural y normativa dentro del sistema jurídico, al establecer los principios rectores que orientan la interpretación y la aplicación del derecho civil. A través de un análisis detallado y un enfoque comparatista, se revaloriza la importancia del Título preliminar en la prevención y la resolución de conflictos sociales, la promoción de la justicia y el respeto al Estado de derecho. En resumen, se subraya su función como pilar para la regulación de las relaciones privadas y públicas, así como su influencia en todo el ordenamiento jurídico, lo que reafirma su vocación constitucional.

Published: February 2025

In the context of learning, there are several aspects that need to be considered by teachers in designing meaningful teaching and learning conditions, one of which is the interaction of teaching and learning activities. Maharah Kitabah learning in particular really needs good interaction between teachers and students, as well as between students. This study aims to determine the effect of interaction of learning activities on the ability of Maharah Kitabah Arabic language of students in grade XII Madrasah Aliyah and to determine how much influence the interaction of learning on the ability of Maharah Kitabah students in Arabic language subjects. This Reserch uses quantitative research using a regression approach with a sample of 64 respondents selected using population research techniques. Data collection techniques using questionnaires, interviews, observations and documentation. While data analysis uses two tests, namely: hypothesis testing and assumption testing with a logistic regression approach.. The results of this study indicate that, (1) 85.94% of students believe that there is a significant influence between learning interactions and Maharah Kitabah skills, the results of the regression analysis show that the p value = 0.558, which is greater than ???? = 0.05, indicating that the influence is statistically significant. (2) The magnitude of the influence given by the learning interaction variable (X) on students' Arabic language Maharah Kitabah skills with a G value of 51.331 and a Nagelkerke R Square of 0.010 indicates that the learning interaction variable only explains 1.0% of the variation in Maharah Kitabah skills, while 99.0% is explained by other factors.
Exploring Viscoelasticity: An Outreach Workshop for Middle and High School Students
Authors: Kardashina Tatiana , Pallarez Jessica A. , Talipov Marat R. , Serrano Elba E. , Drach Borys
Published: February 2025

Engaging students in hands-on activities and providing out-of-school experiences have been shown to improve academic performance and spark interest in science. Our interdisciplinary team developed a workshop for middle and high school students as part of a summer program at a Hispanic-serving institution in southern New Mexico. The goal was to foster interest and readiness for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers and college entry. The workshop introduced students to viscoelasticity, a key concept in biophysics that describes the mechanical behavior of biological tissues, which is vital for understanding their structural and functional properties under various physical forces and conditions. The curriculum included a presentation, a discussion linking mechanical properties with biology, and hands-on experiments that demonstrated viscoelastic principles. Pre- and postworkshop surveys assessed students’ experiences and understanding of the material. Analysis revealed that students could relate the concepts to their daily lives, gained a basic understanding of mechanical properties, and found at least one experiment enjoyable and interesting.
A ChatGPT-Assisted Reading Protocol for Undergraduate Research Students
Authors: Sambar Marcus , Vázquez Gonzalo R. , Vázquez Anne V. , Vázquez Frank X.
Published: February 2025

A major challenge for undergraduate students is reading scientific literature. This is especially true in biophysics, where many of the concepts may not have been covered in undergraduate courses. Students can become overwhelmed, which may lead to less overall engagement with the scientific literature. In response, we have developed a guided reading protocol that combines prereading strategies, structured note-taking, and ChatGPT to help students clarify unfamiliar concepts in an interactive way. To test the protocol, participants in this study were given an initial survey to determine their experience with reading scientific literature. After this, they were given an abridged biophysics paper and the protocol. The ChatGPT transcripts were analyzed by using open coding, and the students were given a poststudy survey. We found that most students did not appear to regularly engage with the literature, possibly because of content barriers they encountered. Analyzing their transcripts, we observed that students asked for definitions, explanations, summaries, and simplifications. Overall, students reported that using ChatGPT was a positive experience and that they expected to use ChatGPT in the future. From this work, we expect that this new protocol may be a way to keep novice students from becoming discouraged when reading scientific papers and keep them engaged with the current literature.
Sobre uma possível definição do Bildungsroman
Authors: Koval Martín Ignacio
Published: February 2025

There are two disadvantages to using the term Bildungsroman. On the one hand, none of the works traditionally considered Bildungsromane really fit the concept of a harmonious integration of the individual into society. On the other hand, this is a label that, in recent decades, seems to apply to practically any cultural product featuring a teenager as the protagonist. Here, we will try to overcome these two extreme positions by delimiting what we prefer to call the Bildungs/Anti-Bildungsroman system in relation to the broader macro-genre of the developmental novel. The assumption for this is that in the first case, a generic competence of a more specialised reader is activated and it is this that allows the recipient to link the given work to its hypotext, J. W. Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister. This dependence on a fundamental work, which only a certain type of recipient is in a position to recognise, is thus elevated, along with the premise of the historicity and “Germanness” of the “system”, to a central criterion.
Apicultura em Columela e Paládio
Authors: Trevizam Matheus
Published: February 2025

This article examines two pieces of technical literature written in ancient Rome. We are referring to the treatises De re rustica (1st century AD) and Opus agriculturae (4th–5th century AD). To begin, we provide the two works listed in terms of their basic structure and themes, with the goal of easing an introduction to the topic examined. Then, focusing on bees, we discuss the importance of honey, which was similar to sugar in antiquity, and beeswax in ancient Rome. Next, we distinguish the organization of the books in the works De re rustica and Opus agriculturae. Furthermore, we reiterate, with a deeper focus, beekeeping issues in both works. We also compare Columella’s style (richer and varied) to Palladius’ (briefer and “objective”) using selected extracts.

Niveles de reflexión que devela el estudiantado de Pedagogía en Educación Diferencial, una mirada del último año de formación
Authors: Sierra Suazo Priscilla Aracelly , Mansilla Sepúlveda Juan Guillermo
Published: February 2025

En Chile, los estudiantes de Pedagogía a nivel nacional evidencian bajos niveles de reflexión en la Evaluación Nacional Diagnóstica desde el 2018 al 2023. La presente investigación pretende describir el nivel de reflexión que presenta el estudiantado de último año de Pedagogía en Educación Diferencial de la Universidad Católica de Temuco en Chile. Para ello, se implementó una investigación cualitativa, con diseño de estudio de caso instrumental, y se trabajó con 8 estudiantes que desarrollaron su práctica profesional. En la recogida de información, se utilizaron las técnicas de entrevista semiestructurada y análisis documental del diario del profesor. De los resultados emergió una red conceptual que devela el proceso reflexivo del estudiantado, donde se observa una categoría central denominada "niveles de reflexión" asociada a dos subcategorías: la primera es el nivel de acción que da cuenta de las propuestas de mejora que plantea el estudiantado y la segunda el nivel de cambio, que muestra las acciones de mejora implementadas; ambas subcategorías se encuentran vinculadas a sus respectivos códigos. Se concluye que el programa insta a una reflexión para la mejora de la propia práctica; sin embargo, el nivel que exhiben las reflexiones dista de un nivel profundo y crítico de reflexión.

Published: February 2025

El uso de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC), y los algoritmos, se imponen hoy en lo que a gobernanza digital respecta, razón por la cual el presente artículo aborda esta problemática focalizándose en términos de administración de justicia, con el objetivo de analizar las implicaciones éticas y legales de que un algoritmo reemplace a un juez en la toma de decisiones judiciales. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cualitativo, con apoyo en la recolección de datos que consistió en la revisión de literatura o estado del arte, y análisis jurídico comparado. Los resultados señalan el riesgo de vulnerar derechos y principios procesales fundamentales como el de tutela judicial efectiva, el debido proceso y el principio de igualdad cuando se utiliza la IA en el poder judicial. De este modo, se obtuvieron como conclusiones que, a pesar de los beneficios de la implementación de algoritmos en los procesos judiciales, estos deben ser tomados como herramientas de agilización y no como un reemplazo directo, esto debido a la racionalidad que exige el papel del juez en la impartición de justicia y    la propia humanización que axiológicamente caracteriza la misma y que bajo ningún concepto debe tergiversarse.

Through a hermeneutic approach, the complications in Mexican basic education are analyzed when converting subjects into formative fields and the elimination of special textbooks for telesecundarias with the New Mexican School (NEM) project. In this way, the educational challenges in telesecundarias are understood when using the same textbooks as in general secondary schools starting in the 2023-2024 school year.
Evaluation of Heavy Metals Pollution in the Soil around a Few Industrial Sites in Wasit Governorate, Iraq
Authors: Farhan Bassim Hussein
Published: February 2025

A case study was conducted on the potential pollution in the soils surrounding three industrial facilities in Wasit City, Iraq. This includes the Zubaidiya Thermal Power Plant, the Textile Factory in Kut, and the Brick Factories in the Hai region, examining the impact of emissions resulting from incomplete fuel combustion and their liquid waste discharged into the river from these sources on the surrounding areas in terms of heavy metal pollution in the soil, such as titanium (Ti), iron (Fe), gallium (Ga), arsenic (As), bromine (Br), rubidium (Rb), strontium (Sr), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), molybdenum (Mo), and barium (Ba). Soil samples were collected from distances ranging between 0-500 meters and depths of 0-30 cm and 30-60 cm near the pollution source to assess pollution levels based on global soil pollution standards. Comparison samples were also obtained 4 kilometers away from the pollution source at both depths, with three replicates for each site in October and March of 2023. In general, this indicates that industrial sites have an impact on pollution of the environment because the study found that the total concentration of heavy metals in soils affected by residues from these sites was higher than in control soils. When comparing the concentrations of heavy elements in the soil for October samples with the world average according to Kabata 2011, we found that the elements Iron, Gallium, and Rubidium were close to the world average, as well as the element Bromine, except for the first depth in the soil contaminated with the brick factory, where it was higher than the average. As for the elements Titanium, Arsenic, Strontium, Yttrium, and Molybdenum, their concentrations exceeded the world average, whether in the comparison soil or the contaminated soil. As for the elements Zirconium and Barium, they were lower than the world average, despite the fact that the concentrations in the contaminated soil were higher than the control samples, but their concentrations were lower than the average, according to Kabata 2011. As for the March samples, they followed the same trend as the October samples, indicating the extent of the contribution of pollution sources to the increase in concentrations of heavy elements in the soil in particular and the environment in general.

Published: February 2025

Cardiac syndrome is a varied condition, both clinically and pathophysiologically, including several pathogenic pathways. The management of this illness poses a significant challenge to the treating physician. Patients frequently want medical attention due to persistent and debilitating chest discomfort, sometimes necessitating recurrent and expensive invasive and non-invasive evaluations. Thoroughly examining the patient to find underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and ruling out other possible causes of chest pain, along with taking into account psychosocial factors, can help reduce the stress and distress these people are feeling. This article examines the existing research on the pathophysiology and ongoing debates over the therapy of this challenging disease.

This study analysed and compared changes in self-image pre- and post-mastectomy among women with breast cancer in selected hospitals in Southwest Nigeria. A descriptive exploratory design was adopted; purposive sampling was used to select 56 women aged between 18-70 years diagnosed with breast cancer who subsequently had a mastectomy. The study was conducted at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, and Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile Ife. Data was collected using two instruments. These were the Breast Impact of Treatment Scale (BITS) and the Situational Discomfort Scale (SDS. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20 using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings showed that pre-operative self-image scores of respondents ranged from 2 to 39, with a mean of 13.68 ±5.74. None of them had severe distress, however, 77.3% had mild distress; and 22.7 % had moderate distress. During post-mastectomy, the scores ranged from 11 to 62 with a mean of 43.29 ± 5.50. None of the respondents had mild distress but 89.8 % had severe distress while the rest had moderate distress. The study found a significant difference between pre- and post-mastectomy self-image, the pre-operative mean score was 13.68, while the post-mastectomy mean score was 43.26 at p =0.0001, with a t value of -24.78. This study concluded that, while the respondents had mild self-image distress before mastectomy, severe distress was attributed to post-mastectomy periods.

Introduction

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common mental health condition encountered in primary care settings. GAD screening, diagnosis, and management are challenging, among other issues that capture the attention of primary care physicians (PCPs). Measurement-based care (MBC) involves the systematic assessment of patients’ symptoms and treatment progress using standardized tools. Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item (GAD-7) is a well-known screening and symptom-monitoring tool for GAD. It quantifies subjective symptoms objectively by measuring the patient’s anxiety level. We aimed to increase utilization of GAD-7 in outpatient clinics to improve diagnosis and management of GAD through educational interventions and by educating PCPs to access the GAD-7 tool in the EPIC electronic medical record (EMR) with ease.

Methods

This study employed a quasi-experimental interrupted time series design over 12 months. The intervention involved displaying posters educating family physicians on accessing GAD-7 screening tools in EMR and using smart phrases to document GAD-7 results in two outpatient family medicine clinics. SlicerDicer measured total anxiety encounters and GAD-7 utilization 3 months before and 9 months after intervention. Statistical process control was used, and control charts were created using the statistical software JMP Pro-16. A Poisson regression model was used to detect statistically significant differences using statistical software SAS 9.4.

Results

GAD-7 utilization increased from 4.5 in the preintervention period to 20.5 in the postintervention period. There was a significant increase in GAD-7 utilization over time after implementing our QI intervention. The control chart phase analysis showed a shift in the process with an increase in the average rate of GAD-7 utilization from 11.5 per 100 encounters per week in the preintervention phase to an average of 35.8 per 100 encounters per week postintervention phase. The effect was sustained over a year postintervention. The Poisson regression model also showed a 21% increase (p < 0.0001) in the incidence rate ratio in the post-intervention period as compared with the preintervention.

Conclusion

Utilization of GAD-7 as an application of MBC improved with the implementation of a bundled intervention using quality improvement tools. Other programs may replicate this in their similar quality improvement endeavors.

Introduction

Integrating process improvement tools into healthcare has shown promising results, yet the application of “training within industry” (TWI) still needs to be explored in this context. This study focuses on implementing job instruction (JI), one of the three components of TWI, within a large breakthrough series collaborative (BTS) in a middle-income country.

Methods

We evaluated the deployment of JI during a nationwide initiative aimed at reducing three critical healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)—central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI)—across 189 Brazilian public intensive care units (ICUs). Our quality improvement (QI) project outlines the integration of JI to enhance the reliability of care bundles and empower frontline teams to reduce variation, one fundamental condition to maintain ongoing improvements.

Results

The implementation strategy included structured JI training for the hub’s leaders, which facilitated the gradual adoption and customization of JI and visual management techniques into daily ICU care. We detailed the four stages of JI training, the content of each session, and how they were incorporated into the existing BTS framework alongside visual management tools. The mean compliance to prevention bundles exceeded 90%, and the project results reached an overall reduction of 44%, 52%, and 54% for CLABSI, VAP, and CAUTI, respectively.

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that JI can be seamlessly integrated into routine QI activities. This structure promotes consistency in carrying out each aspect of care bundles, preventing HAI and strengthening patient safety.
LEGAL REVIEW OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AGRICULTURAL LAND SHARECROPPING AGREEMENTS IN PIJORKOLING VILLAGE, DOLOK DISTRICT, NORTH PADANG LAWAS REGENCY

The purpose of this research is to understand the implementation of agricultural profit-sharing conducted by the customary law community in Pijorkoling Village, Dolok District, North Padang Lawas Regency, and to determine the compliance of agricultural land profit-sharing implementation with Law No. 2 of 1960. The research method used is a sociological juridical approach, with descriptive-analytical specifications, and purposive non-random sampling for sample determination. The analysis was conducted qualitatively to address the research problem. The research findings indicate that the implementation of the profit-sharing agreement for agricultural land in Pijorkoling Village, Dolok District, North Padang Lawas Regency does not use the profit-sharing agreement according to Law No. 2 of 1960 concerning profit-sharing agreements for agricultural land. Instead, they conduct profit-sharing agreements based on customary law that has been passed down through generations, which are agreements based on the approval and agreement between the landowner and the prospective cultivator, conducted verbally on the basis of trust. Regarding rights and obligations as well as the balance of profit-sharing, it is also based on the agreement of both parties. The profit-sharing ratio from the research is referred to as "mertelu" or 1:3, one part for the landowner and two parts for the cultivator from the total net harvest. Then, the termination or dissolution of the working relationship between both parties occurs when the agreed-upon period ends at the end of the harvest season, or it can also be the termination of the agreement due to one party breaching the initial agreement.

Stunting remains a significant public health issue in Donggala Regency, impacting long-term human resource quality. This study analyzed stunting determinants through a family-based approach using a cross-sectional survey on November 13–18, 2024, involving 908 families at risk of stunting. Data were collected through questionnaires, body length measurements using Length Board Measuring (LMB), and age verification from birth certificates or KIA books. Statistical analysis employed Chi-Square, Logistic Regression, and T-Test with STATA software, while the WHO-Antro 2005 software calculated Z-Score TB/U values. Most respondents were housewives (90.7%), educated >9 years (80.1%), aged ≥20 years (94.4%), and lived in rural areas (93.6%). Families receiving assistance showed a lower stunting prevalence (22.7%) compared to controls (30%). Proper sanitation and clean water access reduced stunting prevalence to 24.1%, versus 63.6% in families lacking access. Boys aged 12–23 months were the most vulnerable group. Family assistance improved knowledge of balanced diets and hygiene, reducing stunting prevalence. Expanding family assistance programs, enhancing sanitation infrastructure, and increasing access to clean water are crucial. Strengthening posyandu to provide targeted nutritional interventions, especially for children aged 12–23 months, is recommended to combat stunting effectively in Donggala Regency.
