REGULAR GARDEN OF THE 18TH CENTURY AT MEDZHYBIZH CASTLE IN DOCUMENTS AND CARTOGRAPHY
Authors: Zapadenko Igor
Published: March 2024

There is a widespread opinion in local history and some scientific publications that in the 18th century, especially in the ownership of the Czartoryski princes, Medzhybizh castle was transformed into a luxury romantic residence. The decorative garden was allegedly created as a result of Izabella Czartoryskas interest in English parks, as a continuation of the architectural program of the main residence in Pulawy. There is even a statement that the garden was arranged in the inner territory of Medzhybizh castle. Nonetheless, the inventories of the Medzhybizh estate indicate that during the 18th century, Medzhybizh castle was utilized not for residential purposes, but also for economic and occasionally military purposes. The notion of a grandiose ornamental garden at the Medzhybizh castle is merely an adaptation of the romantic descriptions of the real romantic park at the Czartoryski main residence called Pulawy (in Poland). Only the Polish researcher Rafal Nestorow has provided real information about the existence of the Medzhybizh garden, which was called the Italian garden. TThis garden was established by Jan Baptista Dessieur in the year 1713. Nestorows research is based on archival documents obtained from the library of Princes Czartoryski in Kraków (Poland). Nonetheless, in his perspective, the precise location of this “Italian garden” remains ambiguous. This article extends and clarifies the research initiated by R. Nestorow. The archival inventories from the 1750s provide a thorough description of the "Italian garden" near the Medzhybizh castle, which was not located in the town of Medzhybizh, but in a nearby suburb called Stawnica. The article explains the location, description of buildings, and list of plants in the so-called “Italian garden”, which belonged to the owners of the Medzhybizh in the 18th century. The differences between this garden and the classic Italian landscape are also explained. The location of the Italian garden surrounding the castle and the streets of the modern Stawnica is revealed by archival maps of Medzhybizh from the 18th and 19th centuries. The article explains where the Italian garden is, what houses it has, and what plants it has. The garden was owned by the Medzhybizh family in the 18th century. The elucidation of the distinctions between this garden and the traditional Italian landscape is also provided.
FEATURES OF INTEGRATION OF NEW FUNCTIONAL ELEMENTS IN THE PLANNING AND SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF HISTORICAL CASTLE COMPLEXES
Authors: Andrusiak Uliana
Published: March 2024

In a period of extreme political instability and the threat of constant enemy attacks, people looked for a means of security. This basic need became the main factor in the evolution of the stages of existence of historical castle complexes. Later, the threat of internal and external attacks from outsiders and feudal neighbors decreased due to the strengthening of royal power. Such changes in the military and political situation became the main reason for the beginning of the decline of castle complexes. By order of the ruling authorities, some castle fortifications and structures were destroy partially or completely. This done in order to prevent possible military uprisings. The loss of the original functional purpose led to the absence of the necessary repair measures of the castle complexes. The constant influence of wind, precipitation and seasonal temperature changes caused the destruction of many unique objects of cultural heritage. Thus, until our time, most of the historical castle complexes have survived in fragments. The first step for the preservation of objects of cultural heritage is the search for a new modern functional adaptation. The main goal of functional adaptation is to enrich and complement the historical environment of castle complexes. At the same time, an important condition is the preservation of authenticity. The requirements for the integration of new functional elements into the formed historical environment of castle complexes are regulate by legislative and regulatory documents. The concepts of perspective development of the authentic through the integration of the modern based on two principles. The first principle is the maximum preservation of the character of the historical layout of the castle complex. The second principle is the protection of the conditions of species disclosure and visual connections of the complex with the surrounding buildings and natural environment. During the integration of new functional elements into the authentic environment of historical castle complexes, differentiation of these elements is carry out. This differentiation based on a rather broad interpretation of the concept of "function". At the same time, it is envisage combining several of the most promising functions to reveal the potential of a specific object of cultural heritage.
MAPPING OF THE PENTAGONAL TOWERS OF EUROPE IN CONNECTION WITH RESEARCH OF THE "KNIGHT'S TOWER" OF THE MEDZHYBIZH FORTRESS
Authors: Vietrova Tatiana , Snitko Iryna , Vietrov Viktor
Published: March 2024

Our research is related to elucidating the features of the construction, existence, and modernization of the pentagonal tower of the Medzhybizh fortress (Khmelnytskyi region, Ukraine). One of the stages of our work is based on comparative analysis and the search for analogies. The search for a wide range of such objects requires systematization and a comprehensive approach. That is why, to solve this task, we launched the research project “Pentagonal Towers of Europe”. One of the directions of this project is to create a database of European pentagonal towers. Such a database is the basis of complex research and searches for an analogy for the Medzhybizh Tower in such areas as dating, construction technology, architectural specificity, roles in the fortification ensemble, and so on. In the first stages of the project, while the database is being formed, there is an opportunity to solve research questions. These include the mapping of pentagonal towers. Thus, with the help of cartographic methods, it is possible to study their geographical location. In our work, along with mapping, the pentagonal towers were systematized according to four positions (defensive complex, dating, construction specifics, architectural solutions), plus visualization and geographic location of the object. So, using the cartographic approach allows us to better understand the geographical location and distribution of the pentagonal towers, their relationships with other defensive objects. In the future, this may provide an opportunity to search for historical and geographical patterns of the existence and development of the style of fortification architecture, which was embodied in such a specific construction of pentagonal towers.

Authors: Nagurnyi Yevhenii
Published: March 2024

Based on the available materials of archaeological research, architectural surveys, and documents on emergency and restoration works, the article examines the problems associated with the attribution, research, preservation, and restoration of historical and architectural monuments that have been repeatedly rebuilt. The Round Tower with the Bastion and the Barbican of the Medzhybizh fortress are laid at the base of the analysis. A review and brief analysis of previous studies of the structures mentioned above has been carried out over the past fifty years. The article provides a short historical excursion into the “evolutionary development” of the defensive complex of the Medzhybizh fortress in the 14th-17th centuries. The architectural features of the construction and numerous reconstructions of each presented research object, as well as the historical and military-political prerequisites that led to such large-scale reconstructions, are revealed. The author describes the architectural solutions by which each of the elements is combined with the others into a single defensive complex. Light is also shed on the reasons that caused most of the destruction and damage to the structures. The technical condition of the object and the measures taken during emergency and restoration work during the period of active reconstruction of the complex from 2016 to 2021 inclusive are determined. The list of existing damages with their characteristics and the level of danger they may pose is indicated. The article proposes appropriate measures to eliminate the existing problems, which ultimately will enable the preservation of the objects, their museumification and involvement in the general exhibition space of the Medzhybizh fortress. Finally, the article concludes with conclusions about the current status of architectural conservation of objects and the people's safety there. The sequential order of emergency, conservation, restoration, and additional cleaning and archaeological measures that must necessarily precede the museumification of the south-eastern defensive complex of the Medzhybizh fortress are compared.

Authors: Chen Lesia
Published: March 2024

The article examines the fortified monastery complex of the princely period in Pidhoryany, which has survived to this day in a half-ruined state on the territory of Western Ukraine. The history of the construction of the monastery and its restoration is followed. The monastery complex had not only spiritual significance, it was supplemented with defensive structures, acting as a fortified complex for protection from external enemies in the southern part of Terebovla. The architectural-spatial and artistic solution of the monastic buildings of the historical architectural monastery-fortress was analyzed. Diverse in functional monastic purpose, compositional and architectural-artistic solution, proportions, stone monastic buildings are important structural elements of the monastery-fortress and unique artistic works of defensive architecture. Artists, applying three main rules: utility, strength and beauty, created a perfect architectural work of defensive architecture that reflects the culture of a certain era and makes an impression on the viewer. The Pidgoryan monastery complex is a unique urban development that has historical and cultural value and belongs to the cultural heritage of Ukraine. Different in size, proportions and compositional solution, the monastery buildings harmoniously fit into the structure of the monastery and the environment, which reflect the skill and talent of the builders. In the process of research, the technical condition of the monastery buildings was studied, and a program of restoration measures was determined in order to preserve them from further destruction. The protection and preservation of the authentic monastery-fortress can be a contribution to the preservation and development of the cultural values of the Ukrainian people.

Published: March 2024

The study of Tarakaniv Fort, the largest defensive fort in Ukraine, which has survived to this day with partial losses of material substance as a result of military operations, which is decaying under the influence of atmospheric factors, is extremely relevant in our time, when the country is in a state of war. The purpose of the article is to analyze the planning and architectural-spatial structure of the Tarakan Fort, to reveal its architectural-constructive features, to determine the current technical condition and to propose a functional adaptation. The outpost fort was of great strategic importance for the defense of the eastern border on the eve of the First World War at the end of the 19th century. 20th century A powerful fortification object was built according to the drawings of the outstanding military fortification engineer E. Totleben in 1860-1890. The head of the construction of the main structures of the fort was the engineer colonel Borisov, the modernization of the fort was carried out under the leadership of Belikov. The analysis of the latest researches and publications showed that the unique engineering and fortification complex of the Tarakan Fort-outpost is practically unexplored, without archaeological excavations and thorough research. The monument of defense architecture refers to the monument of military architecture of local importance and has great architectural value. In the process of research, the main factors of the construction of the Tarakan Fort were determined. The article examines the peculiarities of the layout and spatial arrangement of the fort in the village of Tarakaniv near the city of Dubno, Rivne region. Three stages of formation of the structure of the fort-outpost complex are defined. The functional and constructive solution of the "Dubno" fort outpost complex was considered and analyzed. The modern state of the defensive structures of the Tarakan Fort was studied. In order to preserve the monument of defensive architecture, a program of priority repair and restoration measures was developed and it was proposed to adapt the researched outpost fort to a tourist function.
PROBLEMS OF PRESERVATION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF FRAGMENTS AND REMAINS OF HISTORICAL FORTIFICATIONS OF THE BEREZHANY
Authors: Tychy Bohdan
Published: March 2024

The aim of the work was to preserve for future generations of researchers and archaeologists the remains of the defensive belt that protected the town in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries from Turkish-Tatar invasions, as at that time Berezhany's fortifications were the most powerful in Opillya. To achieve the desired result, the maps of Major Johann von Fürstenhoff (1720) and Captain de Pyrch (1755) were used, and the map of Friedrich von Mieg (1792) was processed, i.e. the defensive structures built by the owners of Berezhany - the Syniavsky family in the eighteenth century - were considered, with their superimposition on a modern map. Fragments of defensive ramparts and ditches that remained after the demolition of the city's fortifications by the Austrian authorities in 1809 and 1812 are studied. Their locations on the streets of the city with their current names are identified and their connection to the numbering of the houses opposite which the former defensive ramparts and bastions are visible. The article also mentions the project by M. Haida and L. Hornytska to preserve the remains of the northeastern bastion around the castle fortress, which was not developed by the owners of the former furniture factory (now a restaurant, hotel, and shopping centre) where it is located. The problems of preserving defensive structures were studied and proposals for their preservation were considered. The most acute problem with the protection of our history's monuments is the control of state bodies over their preservation, and the lack of funds for their maintenance, conservation, restoration and restoration in the context of a hybrid war. The author suggests issues and problems that should be taken into account by urban self-government communities when writing strategies for the future to preserve unique and rare monuments of the past.

Authors: Lytvynchuk Illia , Rybchynskyi Oleh
Published: March 2024

In the article, the authors emphasise that the early modern wooden and earthworks fortifications of Podillia have been virtually unexplored. For the first time, the results of field research of the preserved castle in the village of Kokhanivka of Turbivka settlement community of Lypovets district, Vinnytsia region, and in the seventeenth century - in the city of Kohanhorod (Kokhaniv) are introduced into scientific circulation. This object interested researchers for several reasons: first, even in the poorly preserved outline of the fortifications, the remains of defensive structures of the newest fortification for the early modern period can be read, and second, there is a well-known historical reference about this fortified private-owned city and its owner, the Bratslav judge Olbricht Kokhanovskyi, formed in the nineteenth century. The field research was carried out using photogrammetric aerial photography. The results were processed in software adapted for working with point clouds and translating them into 3D models. The resulting model was made in real scale, which made it possible to make its measurements. The article reveals the architectural features and presents the current state of preservation of the castle. Using the materials of field research, historical cartography and descriptions, a graphic reconstruction of the castle was made. Recommendations for further research and measures to preserve the monument of the early seventeenth century are developed.
HYPOTHETICAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PLANNING STRUCTURE AND ARCHITECTURE OF THE HIGH DEFENSIVE WALL OF THE MIDTOWN OF LVIV FOR THE 13th-14th CENTURY
Authors: Bevz Volodymyr , Bevz Mykola
Published: March 2024

Lviv is one of the cities in Ukraine that had a highly developed system of medieval fortifications. This system of fortifications was built in the XIII-XIV centuries, modernized many times and served until the 18th century. However, today in Lviv, only small remains of the medieval fortifications of the city center have been preserved in the form of architectural objects - several fragments of the defensive wall and only one defensive tower, which was rebuilt into a tower in the 16th century. These preserved objects belong to the so-called High defensive wall. These are: a fragment of the lower part of the defensive wall on 16 Svobody Avenue, a fragment of the wall and the Povoroznyk tower (connected to the building of the City Arsenal), a fragment of the wall on the Pidvalna Street (to the Royal Arsenal is attached), a fragment of the wall and the remains of the corner Rymarska tower, the remains of the foundations of the corner Shevska tower, a preserved and superimposed fragment of the wall near the Vienna coffee house (12 Svobody avenue), the remains of the wall in the basements of the building on 9 Mickiewicz Square. The rest of the remains of the High Wall are underground in the state of archaeological objects. These unique objects of military construction are not registered as architectural monuments. Also, they are not listed as monuments of archeology. Every fragment of city defense fortifications preserved today is, as a rule, a valuable document of its era and requires careful protection and preservation. Therefore, the study of the architecture of the medieval defense complex of the Lviv city center, which was created before the appearance of firearms, is important both for the history of the city and for the history and theory of domestic military architecture. This paper presents an analysis of the first stage of the construction of the High Defense Wall around the Lviv midtown and presents a hypothesis regarding its architectural solution. Special attention is paid to the issue of the planning structure of the fortified belt. The hypothesis that initially the defensive contour of the High Wall had a rounded shape has been substantiated. The argumentation about the towerless nature of the defensive belt at the first stage of the development of its fortifications is presented. There were two gates at the first stage of the construction of fortifications, which were called Tatarska and Halytska. The architectural solution of the gates was specific. The gate was formed by two towers (semicircular in plan). The gate-entrance with drawbridge was located between two high towers. At the second stage of development, the defensive High Wall was modernized, raised and a number of defensive towers were built. At the third stage, the planning scheme of the fortified belt changes. The line of the High Wall in the eastern span acquires a rectangular character with outward-projecting towers and corner towers.

Authors: Ruan Xinbei , Wardatul Akman Din
Published: March 2024

Nowadays in China, the English proficiency of non-English majors in universities and colleges, in general, is not as satisfactory as expected. One of the reasons is supposed to be the sharp decrease of English input during classroom time, compared with that in junior and senior high school. The research investigates whether monolingual teaching is a possible answer to the problem and the role of the monolingual classroom in improving students’ listening performance. The research is quantitative in nature. It adopts a quasi-experimental design, with two classes of freshmen as participants, one being the experimental group, receiving monolingual teaching while the other is the control group, which receives traditional bilingual teaching. In each class, there are 40 students. Before and after the implementation of 15 weeks’ monolingual teaching, all the students have to take the pretest and posttest respectively. Besides, all the students have to take The Self-assessment Scales in China’s Standards of English Language Ability before and after the implementation of monolingual teaching to see whether they themselves consider their listening ability as having improved. Together with the interview on some students, the research finds that students’ listening performance in the experimental group does have a statistically significant improvement, compared with the control group and that L2 can help to change the class atmosphere and inspire students to learn English. The research serves as an empirical evidence for the effectiveness of monolingual teaching on students’ listening ability, as well as an indication for the direction in how to help the reform of foreign language teaching, especially English teaching in universities and colleges in China in the future.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have emerged as a promising educational innovation, aiming to democratize access to quality education on a global scale. In the context of Malaysian public universities, MOOCs have garnered significant interest in enhancing educational outreach, improving learning outcomes, and fostering lifelong learning opportunities. However, the implementation of MOOCs in this setting faces several challenges that impact their effectiveness and long-term sustainability. This review was written based on a careful analysis of the published MOOC literature (2008-2023) identified through journals, database searches, searching the Web, and chaining from known sources to form the base for this review. The review intends to understand how the evolution of MOOCs affects the prospects of MOOCs and how universities incorporate MOOCs into their educational frameworks. In addition, this paper aims to explore the current and anticipated future challenges that hinder the successful integration of MOOCs especially in public universities across Malaysia. The key challenges identified in the present implementation include limited faculty buy-in and engagement, lack of appropriate technological infrastructure, concerns over course quality and accreditation, and difficulties in assessing and recognizing learners’ achievements. Additionally, issues related to cultural barriers and language diversity within the Malaysian context are also found to influence the effective utilization of MOOCs. Looking into the future, this paper will also explore additional potential challenges that may arise in the continued implementation of MOOCs in public universities in Malaysia. Anticipated challenges include evolving pedagogical practices, ensuring equitable access for all learners, addressing the digital divide, and keeping pace with rapidly advancing technology. By shedding light on the current and future challenges faced by public universities in Malaysia in implementing MOOCs, this research aims to provide valuable insights for policymakers, administrators, and educators to enhance the efficacy of MOOCs and leverage their potential for advancing education in the country. Recommendations stemming from this research may include faculty training and development, investment in technological infrastructure, fostering collaborations with private sectors, and designing inclusive and culturally sensitive learning environments. Ultimately, understanding and addressing these challenges are crucial to ensuring the successful integration of MOOCs within the Malaysian higher education landscape, contributing to the nation’s efforts to provide accessible, high-quality education to a diverse and aspiring population.

Published: March 2024

During pregnancy, women commonly experience both psychological and emotional changes, leading to concerns about childbirth and potential labor complications. Therefore, education programs became essential for preparing mothers mentally for delivery with the engagement of health workers and families. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Sehat Jiwa education on the length of the first active stage of labor. Using a Quasi-experimental design with a two-group control approach, the sample comprised 64 respondents (34 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group). The instruments adopted were the Sehat Jiwa (English: Soul Health) education module, questionnaires, and partograph sheets. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the length of the first active phase between the intervention and control groups, with a p-value of 0.061 > 0.05. However, the average duration for the intervention group (5.88 hours) was slightly shorter than the control group (6.40 hours). Emphasizing Sehat Jiwa-based education for pregnant women was crucial, fostering smoother delivery processes and reducing the likelihood of increased labor complications.

Published: March 2024

Spatial analysis approach is capable of identifying spatial clustering of Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) across districts/cities in Indonesia. This information is essential for policymakers when developing appropriate health interventions at districts/cities level. At delivery, maternal age is one of the strongest predictors of infant mortality, which is closely related to child marriage. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between child marriage and IMR in Indonesia, which was controlled by the influence of maternal, household, and health factors. The results showed that there were spatial dependency on IMR in Indonesia. Analysis Regression Spatial Durbin Model showed that child marriage had a positive and significant relationship with IMR. Furthermore, it was discovered that IMR was influenced by several explanatory variables in districts and neighboring cities. To reduce mortality rate, there was a need to increase health services by developing neighboring areas and building access to areas with good health facilities. Educational initiatives are also important, emphasizing the importance of delaying the age of marriage and enforcing the minimum age limits. This approach empowered every child to marriage carefully and had good reproductive health knowledge that could decrease IMR in Indonesia.

Despite government and non-governmental organizations' efforts, contraceptive utilization in Nigeria remains low. Similarly, Cameroon faces high maternal mortality and low contraceptive prevalence. Adolescent pregnancy remains a significant social and public health concern globally, necessitating efforts to promote contraceptive use. Parent-adolescent sexual communication is often viewed as taboo in Nigeria and Cameroon, hindering awareness about contraceptive use. This study examines the role of parents in creating awareness of contraceptive use among female university students in Nigeria and Cameroon.    The study adopts a comparative approach, investigating the cultural role of parents in awareness creation for contraceptive use in Nigeria and Cameroon. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 420 female university students in both countries. The findings highlight the valuable role of parents in shaping adolescents' knowledge and behavior regarding contraceptive use. Recommendations include enhancing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education, promoting parent-adolescent communication, addressing cultural barriers, improving contraceptive access, and conducting further research. Implementing these recommendations can empower adolescents with accurate information, foster supportive parent-adolescent relationships, and enhance sexual and reproductive health outcomes among young people.

Decreased immunity is a risk factor for viral respiratory infections, underscoring the crucial role of balanced diets to support the immune system. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the eating habits of people in the location based on balanced nutrition guidelines during the Covid-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional design was used and the samples included 3394 respondents who met the criteria of being ≥15 years old and living in the provinces of Central Java, East Java, Riau, and Southeast Sulawesi. Data were collected using a Google form-based online questionnaire filled out independently by respondents. The gathered data comprised compliance with balanced nutrition recommendations for consuming staples, protein-rich foods, fruits, vegetables, water, salt, sugar, and oil. In addition, diet was also observed based on several sociodemographic variables. The results showed that during the Covid-19 pandemic, 75.7% of respondents had not fulfilled intake according to balanced nutrition advice due to insufficient fruit consumption. However, about 60.6% consistently used dietary supplements, and 77.8% did not limit salt, sugar, as well as oil intake. The population at more risk of inadequate nutrition included younger age groups, males, those with low education, unemployed, and living in areas with high Covid-19 cases. This study concluded that during the Covid-19 pandemic, many Indonesians did not implement a diet based on the principles of balanced nutrition. Therefore, education on the importance of balanced nutrition consumption, local food campaigns, cheap markets, and food aid was needed, specifically for rarely consumed diets such as fruit, by targeting the most vulnerable groups.

Published: March 2024

During the COVID-19 pandemic, pregnant women were reported to face a disproportionately high death rate, reaching nearly 25% of the global pregnant population. According to data from POGI (Indonesian Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology) as of April 2021, 536 pregnant women in Indonesia were exposed to COVID-19 resulting in 16 deaths. This implies an estimated mortality rate of 32 per 1000. Family with pregnant women experience more worries about the COVID-19 infection, which reduces resilience capacity. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the impact of certain factors including husband education, profession, family size, and wealth, as well as the presence of pregnant women on the resilience of family in facing the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional design and analytical observational method were used, while the samples comprised 100 households selected using g-form and accidental sampling. In addition, the data collected were analyzed with the chi-square test. The results showed that family income OR = 2.46 (95% CI = 1.08 - 5.61; p-value = 0.03) and the presence of pregnant women OR = 5.40 (95% CI = 2.25 - 12.96; p-value 0.01) had a significant relationship with family resilience. Specifically, low family resilience was related to lower income and the presence of pregnant women in the household.

Infants who are not exclusively breastfed often have the potential to experience implications for their future quality of life. Furthermore, the extent of this impact is influenced by the concerted efforts of both the father and mother in promoting and implementing exclusive breastfeeding. Several studies have also shown that father’s proactive support is an essential factor in its successful implementation. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between paternal control behavior and exclusive breastfeeding. A quantitative cross-sectional method was used and the sample population comprised 326 fathers with children aged < 2 years old. The procedures were carried out in the working area of the Situ Udik Health Center in July 2023. The sample size was calculated using the Slovin size formula, followed by the selection of 77 respondents based on the random sampling technique. The data obtained were then analyzed using the chi-square test to assess the association between the variables. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between father's knowledge (p=0.001), attitude (0.006), and trust (p=000.0) with exclusive breastfeeding. Meanwhile, breastfeeding fathers (0.339) and intention (0.341) had no significant influence. Based on these results, father played an essential role in providing support during this practice

The prevalence of stunting among children in 2021 and 2022 was 25.3% and 24.4% respectively, according to Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey in Mataram City. The Religious Court of NTB Province reported that the rate of early marriage among children was 16.59%. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between early marriage and pregnancy history with stunted children in Mataram City. An analytical survey method was used with a case-control design, questionnaire, and anthropometric measurements conducted in a single session. The samples were selected using cluster random sampling, reaching 61 children aged 24-59 months for normal and stunted groups. The results showed that the samples were predominantly male, while increased weight during pregnancy <10 kg (p=0.009, OR=2.948, CI=1.285-6.766) and maternal height <150 cm (p=0.004, OR=2.937, CI=1.406-6.135) were associated with the incidence of stunted children. On the other hand, early marriage (p=0.926, CI=1.31) had no significant relationship with the incidence of stunting. A history of pregnancy and early marriage simultaneously influenced stunting by 30.5%, with the highest predictor being the height of the mother. Therefore, pregnancy history greatly influenced the incidence of stunting among children in Mataram City.

The Healthy Indonesia Program with Family Approach (PIS-PK) is a primary initiative enforced by the current government to enhance the quality of family life and public health. In this context, the assessment of the Healthy Family Index (IKS) is essential for implementing appropriate interventions and efforts to prevent chronic diseases at the family level. Measurement indicators of IKS include healthy, pre-healthy, and unhealthy family categories. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze IKS based on PIS-PK in Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi in Indonesia. A quantitative design with an analytical survey was used to measure IKS across the entire family population in the Jeneponto Regency Health Center working area, totaling 1,321 households. The total sampling method was applied, and data from 12 healthy family indicators were evaluated following the IKS formula. The results showed that the average IKS value ranged from 0.59 to 0.77, representing unhealthy, pre-healthy, and healthy family, which constituted 12%, 54.35%, and 33.5% of the examined population, respectively. High numbers of family fell in the pre-healthy and unhealthy categories due to limited participation in family planning program (55.11%), non-utilization of official facilities for childbirth (11.65%), lack of exclusive breastfeeding practices over 7–23 months (10.14%), and absence of weight monitoring at Posyandu (5.59%). Consequently, integrated efforts and cross-sectoral engagement are crucial for improving IKS status.

Gizi kurang merupakan masalah gizi yang rentan dialami oleh anak usia balita hingga anak usia sekolah. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk meminimalisir gizi kurang pada anak yaitu pemberian makanan tambahan berupa snack yang terbuat dari labu kuning. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui daya terima (warna, aroma, tekstur, rasa), kandungan kalori dan beta karoten snack bar substitusi Cucurbita moschata. Jenis penelitian adalah deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa daya terima warna sebanyak 61,5% panelis menyatakan sangat suka 55,4% panelis sangat suka dengan aroma snack bar. Daya terima tekstur sebanyak 63,1% panelis menyatakan sangat suka dan 81,5% panelis menyukai rasa snack bar substitusi labu kuning. Kandungan gizi snack cucurbita moschata mengandung kalori sebesar 359,65 kkal/100gr dan beta karoten sebesar 18,60µg/100gr. Snack bar cucurbita moschata dapat diterima dikalangan anak sekolah namun nilai gizi dalam hal ini protein yang terkandung pada snack bar labu kuning (cucurbita moschata) masih kurang, sehingga disarankan untuk dilakukan modifikasi bahan snack bar dalam menambah dan meningkatkan kandungan gizi yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan gizi anak sekolah.
