In connection with an extensive health education project in Finland, the so-called North Karelia Project, a pretest program was carried out with the object of studying the relative effectiveness of three different channels as disseminators of a nutrition education leaflet addressed to housewives. A total of 256 20–49-year-old housewives were interviewed in the investigation. The telephone interview method was shown to be suitable for this type of information acquisition despite the problems arising in telephone number sampling. Statistically significant differences were noted between the channels used. Almost half of the leaflets taken home from school by pupils failed to reach the housewife, whereas the loss rate in cases where the leaflet was sent as a circular letter or as a supplement to the local newspaper was below 30%. Although the majority of all those who received the leaflet said that they had read it, only a quarter of these could be said to have familiarized themselves with the contents of the leaflet. There was only a weak correlation between background variables and reading of the leaflet or recall of its contents. The results indicate that the efficacy of distributing single educational leaflets is questionable, but the use of leaflets could be defended as part of a largescale information campaign.

One of nutritional problems experienced by toddlers is stunting, which is a short or very short body condition in children due to chronic malnutrition that occurs from pregnant women to children aged 2 years. Nutrition education is a method and effort to increase knowledge of nutrition and eating behavior in order to create optimal nutritional status. Education for the “My Plate” poster is important for pregnant women to implement a healthy diet and to meet daily nutritional needs as an effort to prevent stunting. This research was conducted by interview method. From the result of this research, a poster of “My Plate-Pregnant Women” has been designed as a nutrition education media.   Keywords: Nutriotion Education Poster, Pregnant Women, Stunting

Abstract Objectives Information satisfaction is an essential component of the acceptability and efficacy of nutrition education programming. However, few studies have explicitly sought to identify factors associated with consumer information satisfaction, particularly regarding infant feeding information. This is a critical gap given the urgent need for evidence-based nutrition and obesity prevention guidance for infants 0–24 months old. This study explored how parents’ satisfaction with infant feeding information was associated with information need and information acquisition characteristics. Methods First-time parents (N = 423; 89% Female; 75% White; 26% WIC participants) of infants ≤24 months of age completed an online survey on their most recent search for advice or information about infant feeding. Participants reported their search topic, information need (i.e., information urgency, topic interest), and the information channels they accessed during this search. Participants then reported on information acquisition characteristics (i.e., perceived utility, trust, clarity, ease of information acquisition) and information satisfaction for up to two randomly selected information channels, which constituted the repeated measures aspect of this cross-sectional study. Linear mixed models estimated parents’ information satisfaction from information need and information acquisition characteristics, controlling for education. Results Descriptive information on search topics and information channels is presented in Table 1. As shown in Table 2, all information acquisition characteristics were positively associated with information satisfaction, with the strongest associations observed for perceived utility and trust. Information need characteristics were not associated with information satisfaction. Conclusions Parents’ satisfaction with infant feeding information was strongly and positively associated with perceived information utility and trust. Future research on nutrition education programming development should explore how content and delivery approaches promote consumers’ perceived utility and trust by drawing on existing research on common elements of effective evidence-based interventions and cognitive heuristics of trust.

In order to overcome the problems of long time and low accuracy of traditional methods, a cloud computing data center information classification and storage method based on group collaborative intelligent clustering was proposed. The cloud computing data center information is collected in real time through the information acquisition terminal, and the collected information is transmitted. The optimization function of information classification storage location was constructed by using the group collaborative intelligent clustering algorithm, and the optimal solutions of all storage locations were evolved to obtain the elite set. According to the information attribute characteristics, different information was allocated to different elite sets to realize the classified storage of information in the cloud computing data center. The experimental results show that the longest time of information classification storage is only 0.6 s, the highest information loss rate is 10.0%, and the highest accuracy rate is more than 80%.

This experimental study aims to determine the effect of audiovisual aided observational learning activities in a scientific approach to student learning outcomes. The population of this research is all students of class V in pioneering primary school 2013 in Buleleng district which amounted to 330 students. The sample was determined using random sampling technique on 63 students. Research design using Post Test Only Control Group Design. Data collection using interview method, observation, documentation and test, but data analyzed that is test. The student test scores were the post-test average score for the experimental class of 29.25 and the control class of 22.45 which was then analyzed by t-test for independent sample with the polled variance formula so that t-calculated = 9,33 with relative effectiveness Amounted to 73.13%. T-test> t-table (9,33> 2,000). These results indicate that there is a significant effect of audiovisual -aided observation learning activities on the results of V grade students in SD Buleleng lesson year 2016/2017

Line Loss

The line loss rate of power supply enterprises is an important economic and technical index, which directly reflects the lean level of marketing professional management of power supply enterprises. At present, the confusion of transformer-user archives in transformer area is still widespread, which is a key issue in line loss management in power supply enterprises. As the downlink communication channel, low-voltage power line carrier can realize cross-station reading, which brings great difficulties to the identification of transformer-user relation. Because the data of calculating the line loss rate of the transformer area depends on the electrical information acquisition system, the running state of the electrical information acquisition equipment is also one of the important factors affecting the line loss rate of the transformer area. This paper will focus on the fault diagnosis technology of electrical information acquisition equipment, and use it to carry out the identification of transformer-user transformers.

The Impact

Intake of vitamins A, C, and E was evaluated and age and time trends were assessed on the basis of 3-day weighed dietary records (n = 5121) of 2- to 18-year old boys (n = 417) and girls (n = 425) enrolled in the DONALD Study (Dortmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed Study) 1986–2001. Intake of vitamin A remains stable over time, intake of vitamin C increases linearly, and intake of vitamin E follows a nonlinear trend. Age trends of vitamins A and C (per MJ) were nonlinear with a minimum at the beginning adolescence, while intake of vitamin E (per MJ) increased linearly. Girls had higher nutrient densities but lower intakes expressed as percent of reference values. Fortified food in total had a higher impact on time trends of nutrient intake than other single food groups defined here. Our results point to the impact of the food industry on long-term nutrient intake, but also underline the necessity of nutrition education even in young age groups to improve vitamin intake.
