Abstract This paper introduces a technique that can efficiently identify symptoms and risk factors for early childhood diseases by using feature reduction, which was developed based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. Previous research using Apriori algorithm for association rule mining only managed to get the frequent item sets, so it could only find the frequent association rules. Other studies used ARIMA algorithm and succeeded in obtaining the rare item sets and the rare association rules. The approach proposed in this study was to obtain all the complete sets including the frequent item sets and rare item sets with feature reduction. A series of experiments with several parameter values were extrapolated to analyze and compare the computing performance and rules produced by Apriori algorithm, ARIMA, and the proposed approach. The experimental results show that the proposed approach could yield more complete rules and better computing performance.

Dental caries is one of the most common childhood diseases, and people continue to be susceptible to it throughout their lives. Although dental caries can be arrested and potentially even reversed in its early stages, it is often not self-limiting and progresses without proper care until the tooth is destroyed. Early childhood caries (ECC) is often complicated by inappropriate feeding practices and heavy infection with mutans streptococci. Such children should be targeted with a professional preventive program that includes oral hygiene instructions for mothers or caregivers, along with fluoride and diet counseling. However, these strategies alone are not sufficient to prevent dental caries in high-risk children; prevention of ECC also requires addressing the socioeconomic factors that face many families in which ECC is endemic. The aim of this paper is to systematically review information about ECC and to describe why many children are suffering from dental caries.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the early childhood education teachers’ knowledge about first aid before and after the participation in an educational action. Method: Quantitative research with a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design, carried out with 45 teachers from four early childhood education schools. For data collection, an instrument with questions regarding the characterization of the participants and knowledge about first aid was used. Data were analyzed through statistical techniques, using the Shapiro Wilk and Wilcoxon tests. Results: There was an increase in the number of correct answers to the questions and improvement regarding grades, with an increase in the score from pre- to post-test by 5.17 points and with a significant comparison of sums. Conclusion: Carrying out educational actions on first aid increases the knowledge of early childhood education teachers on the subject and the nurses’ role as health educators is highlighted.

first aid treatment is given to the person who got the accident or sudden pain that comesbefore getting help from medical personnel (Haryanto, 2013). The culture of women working in thepublic sphere encourages moms to find a replacement for his role in a while to nurture and educate herchild for Working Moms (Ariani, 2013). Infant and preschool child had an accident prone (Short andGray, 2009). Some of the things that encourages authors to perform community services through first aidtraining in infants and the sick children to early childhood education Teachers. The partners in thisactivity was PGTK Yaa Bunayya Kalipang Lodoyo;10 people and all of the early childhood educationteacher ABA 2 add up to 17 people. The method of this activity was to do a pre test, applications trainingthrough lectures and demonstrations continued with the post test and evaluation skills. After it wasdone an evaluation of the satisfaction of caregivers against first aid on sick children conducted by theteacher. The results were of 80 71% caregivers said satisfied with the first aid on babies and sickchildren, 71% of teachers have a good skill in providing first aid on babies and sick children. Based onstatistical tests with Wilcoxone signed rank test p = 0.000 showed any change of teacher knowledgeabout first aid on babies and sick children. Therefore, health and education should be create a newprogram in providing health services especially in early childhood education level.

One of the levels of education for early childhood is Kindergarten. The presence and development of technology has a considerable influence on the development of learning media that utilizes video-based media. The use of video as a medium for learning color recognition in English in Kindergarten is expected to enhance childrens’ understanding. The aim of this research was to develop learning media to recognize colors in English through the implementation of motion graphics and to convey material about color in English through learning media in the form of motion graphics that have been made. This product was developed using the Luther Sutopo method and distributed to Ibn Khaldun's Islamic Kindergarten. Previously, a test was conducted where it was found that this media was very good to use and it was proven that the students' average score had increased by learning to use this media.

Background: Data on early childhood disease collected in clinics has accumulated into big data. Those data can be used for classification of early childhood diseases to help medical staff in diagnosing diseases that attack early childhoods.Objective: This study aims to apply Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) Classifier for the classification of early childhood diseases.Methods: Data analysis was performed using PCA to obtain variables that had a major influence on the classification of early childhood diseases. PCA was done by observing the correlation between variables and eliminating variables that have little influence on classification. Furthermore, data on early childhood disease was classified using the K-Nearest Neighbor Classifier method.Results:  The results of system evaluation using 150 test data indicated that the classification system by applying PCA and KNN Classifier had an accuracy value of 86%.Conclusion: PCA can be used to reduce the number of variables involved so that it can improve system performance in terms of efficiency. In addition, the application of PCA and KNN can also improve accuracy in the classification of early childhood diseases.

Introduction The rate of cesarean delivery (C-section) has been increasing worldwide, including Bangladesh, and it has a negative impact on the mother and child's health. Our aim was to examine the association between C-section and childhood diseases and to identify the key factors associated with childhood diseases. Methods We used four nationally representative data sets from multiple indicator cluster survey (MICS, 2012 and 2019) and Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS, 2011and 2014) and analyzed 25,270 mother-child pairs. We used the frequency of common childhood diseases (fever, short or rapid breaths, cough, blood in stools, and diarrhea) as our outcome variable and C-section as exposure variable. We included mother’s age, place of residence, division, mother’s education, wealth index, child age, child sex, and child size at birth as confounding variables. Negative binomial regression model was used to analyze the data. Results In the BDHS data, the prevalence of C-section increased from 17.95% in 2011 to 23.33% in 2014. Also, in MICS, the prevalence almost doubled over an eight-year period (17.74% in 2012 to 35.41% in 2019). We did not observe any significant effect of C-section on childhood diseases in both surveys. Only in 2014 BDHS, we found that C-section increases the risk of childhood disease by 5% [Risk Ratio (RR): 1.05, 95% CI: 0.95, 1.17, p = 0.33]. However, the risk of childhood disease differed significantly in all survey years by division, child's age, and child’s size at birth after adjusting for important confounding variables. For example, children living in Chittagong division had a higher risk [(2011 BDHS RR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.08, 1.38) and (2019 MICS RR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.08, 1.35)] of having disease compared to Dhaka division. Maternal age, education, and wealth status showed significant differences with the outcome in some survey years. Conclusion Our study shows that C-section in Bangladesh continued to increase over time, and we did not find significant association between C-section and early childhood diseases. High C-section rate has a greater impact on maternal and child health as well as the burden on the health care system. We recommend raising public awareness of the negative impact of unnecessary C-section in Bangladesh.

This article describes an early intervention program designed for speech-language pathologists enrolled in a master's-level program. The program provided students with courses and clinical experiences that prepared them to work with birth to 5-year-old children and their families in a family-centered, interdisciplinary, and ecologically valid manner. The effectiveness of the program was documented by pre- and post-training measures and supported the feasibility of instituting an early childhood specialization within a traditional graduate program in speech-language pathology.
