Pramana Sharir: An Ancient Method of Measurement of Body Constituents and its Utility in Various Fields of Ayurveda
Authors: Lahange Sandeep
Published: December 2023

Anthropometry is systemic, quantitative representation of human body. Anthropometry is a Latin word. Anthropos means human and metry means measurement. Anthropometry is the study of the measurement of the human body in terms of the dimensions of bone, muscle, and adipose (fat) tissue. Anthropometry was first used in 19th and early 20th century in criminalities to identify criminals. Now it has wide application in the field of medicine, space programming and archeology. Anthropometry plays an important role in industrial design, clothing, design, ergonomics and architecture where statistical data about the distribution of body dimensions in the population are used to optimize products. Changes in life styles, nutrition and ethnic composition of populations lead to changes in the distribution of body dimensions (e.g. the obesity epidemic), and require regular updating of anthropometric data collections. In ancient Anthropometry the overall measurements were done in Swa-Angula Pramana. Our Seers explained the concept of Swa-Angula Pramana. It can be ideal parameter irrespective of sex, race and place. The growth of the body varies indifferent ages and gets ceased after a particular stage, though the average measurement of the body is fixed by random study, the variation of measurement in growing age may take place. If we see the development of modern Anthropometry it helps in various fields of Science, Art and Business, but the concepts of Ayurveda are unique as on the basis of these Pramana one can know not only about the prognosis diagnosis of diseases but also about the longevity of an individual. So it is necessary to explore the concept of Anthropometry practiced in ancient era as Pramana Sharir and its utility in clinical, Para clinical and surgical fields.

Indonesia is a developing country that is trying to carry out national development. National development in Indonesia is philosophically based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, as Pancasila is the way of life of the Indonesian nation. The essence of national development is to realize national goals, one of which concerns social welfare. Social welfare is closely related to economic development. The Indonesian nation is currently making efforts to accelerate economic development towards stability and economic growth by paying attention to aspects of economics overeignty. Efforts to accelerate economic development are achieved through investment by making maximum use of fertilization and utilization of domestic investment and foreign investment. In 2022, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia promulgated Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning the National Capital which regulates there location of the National Capital, one of which is due to the economic gap between Java and outside Java and there are studie swhich show that Jakarta is no longer able to carry out its role as the capital city. The Government of the Republic of Indonesia needs investors to support facilities and infrastructure in the new National Capital.  The Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning or the National Land Agency emphasized that it would provide convenience for land matters, spatial planning and business licensing to attract investors to invest in the National Capital City. One way to facilitate this matter is bygranting land rights in the form of building user rights for 160 (one hundred and sixty) years to investors. The convenience provided seems to only prioritize the interests of investors and if it is realized it will create legal uncertainty for investors.

Published: December 2023

Dietary supplements can provide the necessary nutrients for groups of people who need them, but their use comes with a few risks, such as excessive or unwarranted utilization, side effects, unwanted interactions, and the promotion of unhealthy behaviors or neglecting professional health care. This cross-sectional study analyzed 49 TV advertisements on three major news channels in Romania regarding their compliance with European and national laws concerning the advertisement of dietary supplements. A list of criteria was extracted from the current laws in Romania and was used to check the video promotional materials’ compliance systematically. Despite more than half of the commercials complying with the technical criteria, it was found that a concerning amount of advertisements targeted people with various or specific pathologies, while a third of the ads included non-compliant words or representations associated with pathologies and medical professionals or institutions. As a practical implication, the study suggests a need for more consistent and closer surveillance of dietary supplement commercials broadcasted in the Romanian media.

Diptera Pests Occurring on Vegetable Crops in Poland
Authors: Szwejda Jerzy Henryk
Published: December 2023

In Poland, the share of Diptera in the species composition of the harmful entomofauna occurring on vegetable crops ranges from 20 to 25%. They occur on all vegetables grown in Poland (over 80 species and botanical varieties). Since the systematic registration of pests inhabiting crops in Poland in 1919, over 70 species of flies have been listed as pests of vegetable plants. Species from three families dominate in terms of population and numbers: Anthomyiidae with 12 species (Delia radicum, on early and late cultivars of cruciferous vegetables, mainly broccoli, cauliflower, white cabbage, kohlrabi, and radishes; Delia platura occurs annually on bean and cucumber; Delia antiqua on onion and garlic; and Pegomya hyoscyami on beetroot), Cecidomyiidae with 10 species (two species dominate, Contarinia nasturtii and Dasineura napi, on cruciferous vegetables), and Agromyzidae with 23 species (Liriomyza bryoniae on cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers, and Phytomyza gymnostoma on leeks). Short-term, gradational occurrence of some dominant species was found, including Botanophila gnava (lettuce), Chamaepsila rosae (carrot, parsley), Delia platura (asparagus, bean), Delia radicum (broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, radishes, white cabbage), Phytomyza gymnostoma (leek), Oscinella frit (corn), and Suillia lurida (garlic). However, they did not affect the level of plant production in the following years of cultivation. Apart from phytophagous species, taxa with a different trophic structure are common. These are copro-, necro-, sapro-, and zoophagous species. The most numerous were flies from the Drosophilidae family (Drosophila busckii, Drosophila limbata, Scaptomyza pallida, Fanniidae (Fannia canicularis, Fannia scalaris), Heleomyzidae (Tephrochlamys tarsalis), and Muscidae (Muscina levida, Muscina stabulans, Phaonia trimaculata). Natural enemies of insects play an important role in vegetable agrocenoses. Species belonging to the order of Coleoptera beetles (Carabidae and Staphylinidae), Syrphidae, Tachinidae, and Muscidae, mainly Phaonia trimaculata larvae, play the most important role in reducing the number of Diptera. In addition, the number of phytophages is limited by other organisms, e.g., Diplopoda, Nematoda, Arachnida, and pathogens of viral, bacterial, and fungal origin.

Published: December 2023

The current study evaluated the effect of methanol and water extracts of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), wild marigold (Tagetes minuta L.), and garlic (Allium sativum L.) at 50 mg·mL−1 applied at different frequencies (weekly, biweekly, and monthly) on the control of potato bacterial wilt under field conditions (two growing seasons in 2021). Weekly and biweekly application of methanol extracts from tobacco and wild marigold showed higher efficacy of biological control of the pathogen (58% and 57%) on aerial parts of potato plants than monthly application (48%). In potato tubers, weekly and biweekly application of methanol extracts caused higher biological control efficacy (75.92% and 67.39%) than monthly application (52.49%). Weekly and biweekly application of methanol extracts of tobacco and wild marigold also reduced postharvest infection and postharvest yield losses caused by potato bacterial wilt during the storage period, among other treatments. These experiments conclude that weekly or biweekly application of methanol extract from tobacco and wild marigold at 50 mg·mL−1 is a practical approach to control potato bacterial wilt in the field and storage.
The need for wildlife research and improved management of protected areas in the face of increased nature-based tourism
Authors: Wójcicki Adam , Świtlik Weronika , Dobrowolska Dorota
Published: December 2023

Nature-based tourist destinations attract millions of visitors every year. In 2020, this trend was interrupted by the emergence of the COVID-19 disease and the introduction of global travel restrictions, which significantly reduced the number of tourists. However, with the lifting of these restrictions, the number of visitors to natural areas is increasing even faster. Many of these destinations are national parks and are poorly prepared for rapidly growing attendance, making the impact of human presence on wildlife in protected areas a concern. The main impacts of nature-based tourism on protected areas are: negative impacts on wildlife behaviour by increasing stress levels and spreading diseases and invasive species. There is a risk that nature-based tourism will cause even more damage to nature in the near future, as tourists’ knowledge of ecology and nature conservation is still insufficient, visitor numbers are increasing dynamically and the adaptation and management of protected areas is still inadequate. The most urgent research directions related to nature-based tourism are: large carnivores, ungulates, birds, amphibians and reptiles. Solutions for the management of protected areas should include: e.g. the establishment of educational centres, the provision of additional attractions, the temporary exclusion of certain parts of national parks and the reconstruction of tourism infrastructure in protected areas.

Authors: Mamian Luz Ayda Muñoz , Velázquez Osvaldo Jesús Rojas , Suarez David Enrique Uribe
Published: December 2023

In the context of the indigenous communities of Cauca, Colombia, the importance of promoting pedagogical approaches that value and respect culture and traditional practices has been recognized by policymakers. In this respect, the integration of various key concepts is considered to be essential, namely sustainability, science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics in indigenous cultures (ETHNOSTEAM). Through observation and interviews with elders of the community of the Huellas de Caloto reserve, the terms science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics from the ethno perspective are analyzed in the elaboration of some artifacts. The ETHNOSTEAM approach arises from the motivation to promote the learning of STEAM subjects through the integration of the culture of differentiated minority. This implies integrating traditional knowledge related to cosmovision, nature, architecture, and other areas, as a potentially useful starting point to teach in the classroom in a contextualized manner. The article presents, develops, and characterizes the notion of ETHNOSTEAM as a nascent pedagogical proposal. The goal is to explore how the integration of culture and STEAM approaches in indigenous communities can enhance mathematical thinking, teaching, and learning of mathematics and other sciences in problem solving, especially in diverse cultural contexts, such as the indigenous communities of Cauca, Colombia. The article addresses the way in which science, technology, art, and mathematics are made visible in indigenous practices.

Published: December 2023

Tomato quality is influenced by fertilization and matutity level. This study aimed to determine the best dosage of amino acid-enriched leaf fertilizer (Amiboost) and to determine the best nutritional content at several ripeness levels of ‘Optima’ tomatoes. Amiboost is an inorganic foliar fertilizer that is rich in amino acids that can be easily absorbed by plants. The experiment used a factorial (RCBD) with 3 repetitions. The ‘Optima’ tomatoes were grown at Wonosobo and fertilized with 4 levels of Amiboost fertilizer consisting of 0, 1, 2, 4 L ha-1 amino acid fertilizer, and 2 L ha-1 comparison fertilizer (standard fertilizer). The research was conducted at the Horticulture Sub-Laboratory, UGM at 27 °C with a relative humidity of 75%. The tomato quality observed was CO2 concentrations, visual quality rating (VQR), fruit weight percentage, fruit hardness, fruit color, total soluble solids, total titrated acid, vitamin C, carotenoids, lycopene, and flavonoids. The observation was terminated when the score of VQR reached 1 as the shelf life of tomatoes. The best dose of amino acid-enriched leaf fertilizer (Amiboost) is 2 L ha-1 for the lightness (*L) of fruit color, ascorbic acid, and lycopene. The maturity stage of fruit significantly affected vitamin C, flavonoids, total soluble solids, carotenoids, and lycopene.

Authors: Vîrgă Delia , Ștefan Alina Daniela , Moza Daniela
Published: December 2023

The present study aimed to investigate experimentally how flow, as a state, is influenced by inducing behaviors specific to conscientiousness, extraversion, and emotional stability in daily activities for ten days. Informed by prior research, an intervention was developed, requiring participants to adopt behaviors associated with these three dimensions. The methodology used was to randomize participants into two groups, one group benefiting from intervention and the other being a control group. Initial measurements were taken using a dispositional flow scale and a personality inventory. Subsequently, a flow state scale was applied on the 4th, 7th, and 10th days. The main findings indicated a significant increase in the flow of experience and subjective happiness for the experimental group compared to the control group. The study's conclusions suggest that it is possible to act more extraverted, conscientious, and emotionally stable in daily life, and doing so can potentially lead to an enhancement in the flow state. We discussed the practical implications in organizations.

Methods and Techniques for More Participatory and Emancipatory Management: A Systematic Review of Possibilities
Authors: Do Carmo Gisleine , Pereira José Roberto , Rezende Vânia Aparecida
Published: December 2023

Research objective: The objective of this article is to identify and describe methods and techniques that can contribute to more participatory and emancipatory management.
 
Theoretical framework: According to Fadul and Afonso (2018), participatory methodologies have an emancipatory potential, from the moment they strengthen the capacity of subjects to assist in decision-making that permeates their social spaces. They contribute to the process of listening to the needs of individuals, promoting actions to promote and defend rights.
 
Method: A literature search was carried out to map participatory methodologies, using a systematic review approach, to better outline the search and selection of studies. The systematic review uses explicit and rigorous methods for reviewing work and synthesizing knowledge, based on prior planning and protocols.
 
Results and discussion: The review employed identified several participatory methodologies, at an international level, which can be subdivided into methods and techniques. The method has a more comprehensive and complete character, and encompasses a set of specific operational procedures (techniques). They have greater flexibility and can compose and adapt to different methods. For example, the “photo-identification” and “enter and exit” techniques aim to understand how communities organize themselves and can form part of the Participatory Rapid Diagnosis (DRP) method.
 
Theoretical contributions: The repertoire of methodologies presented theoretically enriches the understanding of participatory management and offers a basis for the effective application of these options in practice, which highlights the growing relevance of a more collaborative and inclusive approach. Although aimed at different contexts, the methodologies express common characteristics, such as the formation of interdisciplinary teams to guide work, constant discussions, common objectives, sense of responsibility, promotion of autonomy. These are characteristics that come close to the core of social management.
 
Originality: Based on a systematic review, this article will address scientific production on participatory methodologies, at an international level, based on results found in various databases.
Perspectives of the Strategic Alliance of Science and Theology and Non-Violent Resistance to Global Challenges, Antagonism and Human (In)Security
Authors: HADŽİĆ Faruk
Published: December 2023

This study aims to analyze a synergy between Science and Religion within philosophical, socio-political, and human security approaches as the solution to the longing for a peaceful, secure, and just world. It indicates the perspectives of harmony and alliance of Religion and Science and examines the theoretical concepts of non-violent resistance related to numerous global challenges. The starting point of this paper is that Science and Religion, alongside social and political dynamics, have massive effects on global challenges such as conflicts (national, geopolitical, ideological, or religious), environmental matters, globalization and migrations, growing radicalism, nationalism, human security, or influence social justice. Historically, the relationship between Science and Religion has recently ranged from conflict to hostility. The normative action of mutual understanding and the interaction and cooperation between Science and Religion depends primarily on the participants (non-politized theologians and scientists) in constructive dialogue, particularly regarding global issues. Conflicting narratives between Science and Religion is an opportunity for joint learning and contribution to a better world and a compassionate culture. Therefore, the leading ideas of the discourse across borders are the promotion of synergy between sciences and religions and cooperation between nations in promoting a compassionate society – an empathetic civilization. Non-violent dissent to global challenges should be involved in changing the power imbalance as a source of structural violence. Nevertheless, liberation must focus on social justice, sociopolitical stability, and critical human security. In facing global challenges, Science and Religion must have diplomatic value by promoting mutual understanding and using a common language through collaboration. Religious traditions and Science, strengthened by global non-religious spiritualism as the valuable means of general spiritual growth, should assert a culture of peace and dialogue for transnational challenges. However, material science and theology are not explicitly formative to growing radical nationalism, racism, conflicts, hegemonism, destruction of the Earth, and socioeconomic inequality. The healthy strategic union between Science and Religion enforced by ethical and constructive politics can support and enhance the resolution of global issues and antagonistic practices. Such a normative-formative framework should ensure that knowledge is developed to advance human, social, economic, and environmental goals according to the moral principles of each Religion.

Bu amaçla, Almanya’da kültürel farkların eğitimde ayrımcılık üzerinde etkileri incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın temel araştırma soruları, “Almanya’da kültürel farkların eğitimde ayrımcılık üzerinde etkileri vardır” şeklindedir. Sosyal İnşacılık Kuramı çerçevesinde, betimsel yöntemin kullanıldığı araştırmada, problemle ilgili literatür taranmış, elde edilen veriler araştırmanın amacına uygun olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonunda, ulaşılan sonuçlardan en önemlileri şunlardır: Türk çocukları, Almanya eğitim sistemi içinde Alman ve diğer yabancıların çocuklarına göre nitelik ve nicelik olarak oldukça geri bir seviyededirler. Bunun en önemli nedenlerinden biri ayrımcılıktır. Bu ayrımcılığın en önemli nedeninin de kültürel farklılıklardan kaynaklı olduğu, bunun bilinçli olarak yapıldığı, Almanya’da uygulanan ve göçmenlerin eğitim durumunu iyileştirici politikalara, Türk çocuklarının diğer yabancı çocuklara kasıtlı olarak göre daha az dahil edildikleri söylenebilir.

Yönetim şekli demokrasi olan ülkelerde siyasal süreçte işleyen mekanizmaları etkilemek ve yönlendirmek bireylerin siyasal katılım sürecine katılmalarıyla etkilidir. Demokratik ülkelerin modernleşmesinin ilk koşulu siyasal katılımdır ve siyasal katılım karar almada önemli rol oynamaktadır. Siyasal katılım, bireyin toplumsal varlığa yönelik tutumunu ve bu tutumu belirleyen faktörleri içeren farklı bir süreçtir. Siyasal katılımı etkileyen bu faktörler kişiden kişiye toplumdan topluma farklılık göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada İstanbul seçim bölgelerinde ikamet eden seçmenlerden XYZ kuşağında olan seçmenlerin siyasal katılım oranı gözden geçirilmiş ve katılım oranının nedenleri arasında yer alan demografik özellikler üzerinden seçim bölgeleri arasında karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini İstanbul ili seçim bölgelerinde yaşayan herhangi bir hukuki kısıtlaması olmayan siyasal katılım erkine sahip tüm bireyler oluştururken, bu evren içerisinden XYZ kuşağında olan seçmenler ise araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Çalışmada anket aracılığı ile veriler toplanarak analiz edilmiş ve sonuçlar paylaşılmıştır. Buna göre XYZ kuşakları arasında, siyasal katılım düzeyi, siyasal katılım türü, siyasal katılımda etkili faktörlere ve oy verilen lidere bağlılık derecesine göre anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca siyasal katılım düzeyinin yaş, eğitim durumu, medeni durum ve gelir düzeyi gibi demografik özelliklere göre de farklılaştığı bulunmuştur.

Published: December 2023

Anayasa’nın 36. maddesinde düzenlenen adil yargılanma hakkının en önemli unsurlarından biri olarak kabul edilen “ne bis in idem ilkesi”, uluslararası kaynak olan Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesinin Ek 7 Nolu Protokolünün 4. Maddesinde düzenlenmiştir. Her ne kadar vergi hukukunda spesifik olarak düzenlenmemiş ise de aynı fiil sebebiyle hem vergi kabahati hem de vergi kaçakçılığı suçu oluştuğu takdirde; vergi kabahati için idari yargıda süreç işlerken vergi kaçakçılığı suçu için ise adli yargıda yargılama yürütülmektedir. 213 sayılı Vergi Usul Kanununun 367. maddesinin beşinci fıkrası gereği işletilen idari ve adli süreç sonucunda verilen kararlar birbirini bağlamamaktadır. Ancak Anayasa Mahkemesinin verdiği 4 Kasım 2021 tarihli kararı ile sözü edilen hüküm iptal edilmiştir. Söz konusu bu çalışmada öncelikle vergi ceza hukukunu oluşturan vergi kabahatleri ile vergi suçları hakkında kısaca bilgi verilecek, ardından Kanunun 367. maddesinde yer alan hüküm değişiklikten önceki haliyle incelenecektir. Son olarak, anılan hükmün iptali ile ortaya çıkan değişiklikler ve bu değişikliklerin hukuk boyutundaki etkileri değerlendirilecektir.

Stratejik yönetim, örgütlerin önceden belirledikleri hedeflere erişebilmeleri, orta ve uzun vadeli planlar yapma ve gelecekteki muhtemel gelişmeleri öngörerek hareket etmeleri bakımından oldukça önemlidir. Bu bağlamda kamu örgütleri tarafından stratejik yönetim anlayışının, örgüt kültürüne ve yönetim anlayışına ne derece etkide bulunduğunun incelenmesi gereken önemli bir konu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada konuya ilişkin olarak stratejik yönetimle ilgili kavramlar teorik açıdan ele alınarak, bazı büyükşehir belediyelerinin stratejik yönetime ilişkin dokümanlarında bu kavramlara ne ölçüde yer verilip verilmediği ile stratejik yönetim kültürünün ne derecede benimsendiği açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır. Çalışma kapsamında bir istatistiki bölge birimi olan TR32 bölgesindeki Aydın, Denizli ve Muğla büyükşehir belediyelerinin 2020-2024 stratejik planları ve her yıl sonu düzenlenen faaliyet raporları ele alınmış ve stratejik yönetim kültürü açısından analiz edilmiştir. Ancak söz konusu planlar döneminin ilgili büyükşehir belediyelerinin 2020 ve 2021 yıllarında yayınlanmış olan faaliyet raporlarıyla çalışma sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu doküman incelemesinden önce çalışmada ilgili teorik bilgiye değinme ve literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Ardından nitel veri yöntemi olan içerik analizi kullanılarak stratejik yönetimle ilgili belirlenen kavramların bu dokümanlarda kullanım düzeyleri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca her bir büyükşehir belediyesinin ayrı ayrı incelenmesi sonrası elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda belediyelerin karşılaştırılmasına yer verilerek değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Bu incelemeler sonucunda ilgili büyükşehir belediyelerinde stratejik yönetim yaklaşımının güçlendirilmesi gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Sisters-in-Waiting: A Case Study of Displaced Syrian Women Fostering New Senses and Memories of Home in Lebanon
Authors: Ouaali Ibtissam , Miedema Esther
Published: December 2023

Building on variously located Syrian women’s accounts of their day-to-day lives in Lebanon, this article illuminates meaning-making processes in protracted displacement, defined by the UNHCR (2004, p. 1) as a “long-lasting and intractable state of limbo.” We draw on the metaphor of a “constellation of homes” (Brun & Fábos, 2015) to explore various homemaking practices and the interconnected temporal and multi-sensorial dimensions thereof. In so doing, we counter narratives of displaced women as a homogenous collective and problematic assumptions of stasis and passivity associated with protracted displacement. Particular attention is paid to women’s narratives regarding “purposeful work” and, crucially, female friendship, which we argue can be understood as additional nodes in the constellation of homes. We argue that further and different forms of research are required to do justice to the multi-sensorial dimensions of homemaking and the novel concept of “sisters-in-waiting” in the lives of women in protracted displacement.
Characterizations of Cr3+- doped SnO2 Powders Via a Hydrolysis Method
Authors: Loan Trinh Thi , Hoang Huong Vu
Published: December 2023

In this work, the effect of annealing temperature and Cr3+ concentration on the structural and optical properties of the SnO2 host crystals has been investigated. The Cr-doped SnO2 samples were synthesized by a simple hydrolysis method, using SnCl4.5H2O as the host precursor and CrCl3.6H2O as the source of dopant. X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering spectra analysis revealed a tetragonal rutile structure of Cr3+-doped SnO2 samples. The Cr3+ concentration and annealing temperature have no influence on the lattice parameters of the SnO2 crystals, whereas affected the appearance and intensity of the Raman modes. The optical properties of the synthesized samples were explored by photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) analysis. Interestingly, besides the emission peaks related to the SnO2, emission transitions within Cr3+ ions in the octahedral field of SnO2 were observed.

Published: December 2023

In this paper, the synthesized and testing of H2 gas sensors using nickel zinc ferrite NiFe2O4 and Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles was shown here. The nickel zinc ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation combine annealed. Characterization of synthesized powders was made using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Nano powder resulting from milling was used to prepare gas sensing elements in pellet form. The gas-sensing properties were studied in presence of hydrogen as test gases. The gas response was found to be strongly influenced by the substitute concentration of Zn. A significant high sensitivity of ~ 90% was found for Zn = 0.5 in presence of 500 ppm H2 at an operating temperature of 250 °C.

Stunting and anaemia in pregnant women are global conditions that are interrelated with the risk of declining health status in children and pregnant women. Anaemia in pregnant women poses a risk of stunting in children, impacting growth and development, brain function, immune system, and learning abilities. For this reason, the purpose of community service is to detect the early risk of stunting in children and anaemia in pregnant women. The method used is an anthropometric examination of toddlers and pregnant women using weight, height, upper arm circumference, and haemoglobin examination to detect the risk of stunting and anaemia. Inspection and measurement data were processed using KMS online and SPSS and presented descriptively in frequency distribution tables and central tendency values. This activity was carried out at the Durian Tiga Batang Posyandu, Kuranji Health Center, Padang City, on 10 August 2023. Data was collected on 50 infants/toddlers and nine pregnant women who visited the Posyandu. The examination revealed that 48% of infants and toddlers were at risk of stunting (short and very short stature), and 11.1% of pregnant women had anaemia. Thus, early detection of stunting through the online KMS application facilitates data interpretation so that it can provide information quickly and recommend further treatment to mothers to achieve ideal child height growth. In addition, early detection of anaemia can prevent stunting in children.
