This study seeks to examine gender perceptions in Turkey. After completing a literature review, the research compiles and analyzes academic studies on Turkish undergraduate students and their gender perceptions. Of the 763 studies included in the literature review, 15 were included in the meta-analysis. The study uses Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) Software (Biostat Inc, 2021) for the analysis and has concluded four different sociodemographic variables to be suitable for the meta-analysis. The variables used are undergraduates’ (1) gender, (2) school year, (3) mother’s education, and (4) father’s education. The paper presents the findings for each variable separately. The results show gender assigned at birth to have the biggest effect on undergraduate students’ gender perceptions, mother’s education to have a small effect, and father’s education to have no effect. The most striking and notable result from the meta-analysis is the lack of difference between the gender perceptions of freshman and senior undergraduate students.

Background: Growth faltering is a condition of growth disturbance that marked by slower growth velocity compared with previous growth chart. Growth faltering can cause effects in immune response, cognitive, & physical and psychomotor disturbance, behavioral disorder, learning problems, higher risk of infection and mortality.Objectives: To analyze risk factor of growth faltering in infant aged 2-12 months.Materials and Methods: A case control study was conducted in Public Health Center in Semarang city. Subject were infants aged 2 until 12 months with growth faltering. Variables were divided to exclusive breastfeeding, mother’s education, mother’s employment, social economic status, infection, mother’s nutrition and gestational age. Anthropometric and questionnaire data were obtained and analyzed among 116 infants. Statistic test used Chi square and multivariate analysis.Results: Chi-square analysis showed that breastfeeding (p=0.016) and gender (p=0.04) had a significant relationship with growth faltering in infant 2-12 months. Under standard parent’s income (p=0.809), Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARTI) (p=0.377), diarrhea (p=0.243), mother’s nutrition (p=1.00), gestational age (p=0.77), low mother’s education (p=0.83) and working mother (p=0.26) didn’t have a significant relationship with growth faltering in infant aged 2-12 months. Multivariate analysis showed that gender (p=0.035) and breastfeeding (p=0.019) were the most influencing variable to growth faltering. In 2-6 group, breastfeeding pattern had significant relationship with growth faltering (p=0.77)Conclusions: Breastfeeding and gender were risk factors of growth faltering in infant aged 2-12 months. Further research needed on how to prevent growth faltering in first 1000 days of life so it may avoid stunting in later life.

Background: stunting is the result of non-fulfillment of nutrients as per the terms ofnutrition in growth between the period of conception to age 24 months. Stunting reflectsthe accumulated growth retardation before and after birth. Failure of growth duringchildhood and often irreversible effect on adult life is short stature. The cause stuntingvery complex.Objective: the aim of this literature review to analyze the effect of risk factors on theincidence of stunting in children under five.Methods: the literature review conducted by Critical appraisal. The inclusion criteriainclude children with stunting, aged 0-59 months, have KMS, still have a father and amother. While exclusion criteria specified are children who do not have KMS, childrenwho have no parents. Data extracted from multiple sources and then synthesized into areview article from 6 different articles.Results: factor nutritional status and body weight ≥ 2,500 grams, socioeconomic for classC (poorest), aged 12-23 months, the duration of breastfeeding a child for 6-12 monthsand the mother's education with secondary and higher education have a significantinfluence on the incidence of stunting children (ρ-value = <0.001; <0.001; <0.001; <0.001;<0.002 and <0.008). Nutritional status and body weight ≥ 2,500 grams, socioeconomic forclass C (poorest) and the duration of breastfeeding a child for 6-12 months is a risk factorfor children to experience stunting, while the mother's education at secondary and highereducation is not a risk factor stunting of children ( OR = 0.83 and 0.73).Conclusions: social and economic factors are dominant factors on the risk of childrenexperiencing stunting (OR = 4.8).Keywords: stunting, toddler, risk factors
