Nutritional Status Of Children

Anthropometric measurements have been taken on 162 children of Methodist, Dharma Wanita USU and Aisyiah pre-elementary schools in Medan to assess their nutritional status. This study was done cross sectionally from january to February 1990. The nutritional status of those children were then compared among those schools with the assumption that father's income and educational level of mothers were different. By the parameters of W!A, HI A. q.nd WIH it showed that the nutritional status of children in the pre-elementary schools were generally quite good. Using parameters W/A and W/H there was a significant difference between the children in Methodist and in Aisyiah (p <0.001). University graduated mothers could be found in Dharma Wan ita USU, whereas in Methodist and Aisyiah pre-elementary schools the mothers were mostly secondary high school graduates. Father's income above Rp. 150.000,- could be found in Methodist pre-elementary school subsequently followed by Dharma Wanita USU pre-elementary schools, whereas in A isyiah pre-elementary school the father's income was mostly between Rp. 100.000,and Rp. 149.999,-. By using the Water/ow classification we found 9.88% children with acute Protein Calorie Malnutrition, whereas chronic Protein Calorie Malnutrition only 2.46%. The nutritional status of children in the three pre-elementary schools could be concluded as good.

Nutritional Status Of Children

Background: Adequate nutrition is an important concern in children with leukemia. Malnutrition and weight lost are common and are due to verity of mechanism involving the tumor, the host response to the tumor such as infection and pharmacokinetics of chemotherapeutic drugs. Objective: To evaluate and compare the nutritional status of children with ALL at diagnosis and after completion of induction therapy. Methodology: This prospective observational study included 60 children newly diagnosed as ALL, aged 2-15 years, over a period from April 2012 to September 2012 in the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, BSMMU. The anthropometric measurements and serum albumin level were taken. Anthropometric indices are calculated by NCHS (WHO-2000) and classified as Z score. Children <-2 SD are considered as underweight (WFA), stunted (HFA) and wasted (WFH). Serum albumin level below 21g/dl is considered as severely malnourished. The Hb values of the children are compared with normal values by age. The children got induction chemotherapy according to MRC-11 protocol. They were in regular follow up and again anthropometric measurements and serum albumin level were taken after completion of induction. Results: Out of 60 children with ALL, 48 (70%) were underweight, 45 (75%) were stunted 36 (60%) were wasted at diagnosis. Incidence of malnutrition among leukemia children after completion of induction were 24 (40%) underweight, 45 (75%) were stunted and 6 (10%) were wasted. The results showed that children in the newly diagnosed stage had a higher prevalence of malnutrition. However no statistically significant difference in the nutritional status was found among newly diagnosed and after completion of induction in term of underweight and stunting but newly diagnosed patients had statistically significant wasting than patients who had completed induction chemotherapy. No patient showed severe malnutrition based on the cut-off point for serum albumin on both stages. All the children (100%) had less than normal range hemoglobin levels. Conclusion: Malnutrition was higher in children with newly diagnosed leukemia. Children had significant differences in the nutritional status in term of wasting at diagnosis than after completion of induction therapy. So, the nutritional status of children with leukemia should be monitor periodically.

What training is necessary to prepare high-school graduates to teach arithmetic and other subjects in the modern elementary school? This question has come to be a very important one in every normal school and particularly in those normal schools which still have a two-year course at the end of which the students accept positions to teach. This question is a difficult one to answer because teachers to-day need a much broader professional training than formerly. One attempt to solve this problem has been to increase the length of the normal-school course from two years to four years, but even in those schools where the four-year course exists comparatively few students remain to complete it, the large majority accepting positions after finishing the two-year or three-year curricula offered in those schools. Hence, how to Prepare students in two or three years to teach effectively in elementary schools is still a vital question in practically all our normal schools.

This research aims to determine the significance of the difference in science learning results between the group of fifth-grade students in Gugus I Elementary Schools, North Kuta District, in the school year of 2017/2018, that take lessons with the multimedia-assisted probing-prompting learning model and the group of students that take lessons with the conventional learning. The design of this research is a quasi-experimental research with the nonequivalent control group design. The population of this research are all the fifth-grade students of Gugus I Elementary Schools in North Kuta District that still implement the KTSP, which consists of 10 classes with a total of 339 students. The sampling is conducted using the random sampling technique. The sample in this research are the students of class VB in SD (Elementary School) No.7 Dalung, with 36 students as the experiment group and the students of class VB in SD No.4 Dalung with 28 students as the control group. The data collection is conducted using the test method in the form of the multiple choice objective test. The science learning results are analyzed using the t-test. Based on the average the experiment groups =80,89 > the control group =72,85, which means that the multimedia-assisted probing-prompting learning model has an influence on the science learning result. Based on the hypothesis test, tvalues =4,517> ttable =2,000, with dk=62 and a significance level of 5%. Based on the test criteria, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Thus, it can be interpreted there is a significant difference the science learning result between the group of students that were taught using the multimedia-assisted probing-prompting learning model and the students that were taught using the conventional learning. It can be concluded that the the multimedia-assisted probing-prompting learning model has an influence on the science learning result of the fifth-grade students in Gugus I Elementary School, North Kuta District, in the school year of 2017/2018.

Echocardiographic Findings

We compared the physical growth, nutritional status, and echocardiographic findings in children aged 3-7 years with Down syndrome who had no congenital heart disease. Thirty such patients who consecutively referred to the Division of Cardiology, Department of Child Health, Medical School, University of Indonesia/Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, were compared with sex and age matched controls consisted of normal children attending the Department. It appears that growth and nutritional status of children with Down syndrome tended to be retarded when compared to those of the controls. However, no significant difference were found on the M-mode echocardiographic values of the left ventricle, except that the left ventricular posterior wall thickness in study subjects was more that that of the controls. We concluded that although the pulmonary architecture of patients with Down syndrome is thought to be less developed than that of normal children, it does not affect the left ventricular measurements and function as measured by M-mode echocardiography.

Objectives Vascular access is a lifeline for the patients who are in need of long-term hemodialysis. Native arteriovenous fistula is the most intensively preferred vascular access method owing to its longevity and convenience of use. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine whether there might be a relationship between hemodialysis patients’ educational levels and arteriovenous fistula patency. Methods A total of 349 patients who were attending in a chronic hemodialysis program between June 2018 and September 2018 at Bursa Uludağ University, Faculty of Medicine Dialysis Unit and in a private dialysis center in İstanbul were included in this study. The patients were grouped into two: those who have had arteriovenous fistula primary failure at least once and those who have never had arteriovenous fistula primary failure. Educational levels of the patients were classified according to Turkish National Education system (illiterate, primary school graduate, secondary school graduate, high school graduate, and university graduate). Mann–Whitney U and Chi-square tests were performed for statistical analyses. Risk factors were determined by applying backward binary logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 349 patients, 161 (46.1%) females and 188 (53.9%) males, were examined retrospectively. The median age of the patients was 64 years (range: 18–90 years). Educational level comparison revealed statistically significant difference in terms of fistula patency ( p = 0.016). In particular, fistula patency was significantly lower in illiterate, primary, secondary, and high school graduates in comparison with university graduates ( p = 0.001, p = 0.015, p = 0.003, and p = 0.018, respectively). When each group of educational level was analyzed separately in terms of fistula patency, it was observed that the higher the educational level was, the lower arteriovenous fistula primary failure rates were. Conclusions In this study, we observed a lower rate of fistula patency in patients with a low level of education. Hence, we are of the opinion that the trainings delivered on arteriovenous fistula care in dialysis centers are required to be shaped in accordance with educational levels of patients.

The Impact

Worms are still a serious problem for poor and developing countries. Children, especially school-age children, are more at risk of infection. Efforts need to be made to prevent the effects of worms. Prevention can be done through a promotive approach. This observational study with a pre-posttest and cross-sectional approach is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of health education on healthy and helminthic behavior and analyzing the impact of helminthiasis on the deficit in the diet and children’s learning achievement. The number of samples is 60 students from five grade 3 and 4 elementary schools in North Pontianak, West Kalimantan. The sampling technique was carried out by proportional random sampling. Worm infection in elementary school students was 16.7%, anemia was 55%, and learning achievement scores were less than the average grade of 55%. There was a significant difference in health counseling towards a decrease in the worm number (p=0.046). There was a significant relationship between healthy living behavior and helminthiasis (p=0.005). There was a significant relationship between helminthiasis and anemia (p=0.017). There is a relationship between helminthiasis and learning achievement in elementary school children (p=0.017). There is a relationship between anemia and learning achievement (p=0.005). It is necessary for public health centers to provide treatment services for worms and health education about the effects of helminthiasis on health and learning achievement. The school should provide hand washing facilities in schools, and parents should play an active role in improving clean and healthy lifestyle habits at home.

This research was motivated by several reasons: (1) there was a misconception of some elementary school geometry materials that were considered essential; (2) the form of evaluation given was dominantly objective/multiple choice; (3) teachers' teaching methods tend not to be contextual; and (4) students' way of thinking simply to take the practical one. Through this research, it is expected to obtain information about: geometrical reasoning in elementary schools according to Bruner's theory, problem solving and mathematical representations. Theresearch was conducted in a descriptive analytic form, with the following steps: (1) giving questions for the geometry reasoning test for SMP; (2) analyzing answers according to the criteria of reasoning; and (3) mapping students' answers to the results of the analysis according to the profile criteria. The data obtained were analyzed, and the results were described to illustrate the condition of the geometric reasoning abilities of elementary school students. Theresults obtained in this study were: (1) The Mastery of the concept of geometry in each junior high school/equivalent. The target with the acquisition of an average score from all schools was 55, which was quite low because there were some students who did not master the concept of geometry and there were other mathematical concepts related to solving test questions; (2) There was no significant difference in the mastery of geometry concepts for male or femalestudents for each SMP/equivalent target, except for one school, namely SMP Negeri 17, which was because males are superior to females in three questions with a difference in the percentage of numbers of significantly correct; (3) The mastery of geometry concepts in each junior high school. The target of studying each geometry material was considered good, except for question number 1 with the subject of the Pythagorean Theorem, because students were dominant in not being able to use the relationship between concepts, especially the operation ofthe compounding form and the roots.

Nutritional Status Of Children

The study assessed soybean utilisation and child nutrition among households in Chikun LGA of Kaduna State. This was done by examining trained and untrained households with respect to nutritional status of children below the age of five. Data was obtained through questionnaires. This was supported by anthropometric measurement of children’s weight and height. Most (58.4%) household heads were between the ages of 36-40 years and majority (78.3%) of the household members had formal education. Primary occupation engaged in by households were farming (35.3%) and trading (25.0%). Plant protein constitutes the main source of protein and the most preferred by respondents. Only one soybean product - dadawa was being used by untrained households. However, trained households were using soybean to make dadawa, moinmoin, soymilk, soy ogi and soup. Majority (62.3%) of the children below the age of five years were normal. Children from trained households suffer less malnutrition than those from untrained households. Also, 18.1% of children from trained households were better off in terms of normal growth than 10.7% of those from untrained households. Lack of processing equipment and time factor were major constraints to soybean utilisation. A significant difference in soybean utilisation existed between trained and untrained households (t = 12.4. p ≤ 0.01). There was a significant relationship between nutritional status of children and soybean utilisation (r = 0.34. p ≤ 0.01). Also, there was a significant difference in nutritional status of children from trained and untrained households (t = 2.32. p ≤ 0.01). The study concluded that effective training on soybean utilisation innovations is key to improved protein malnutrition and child health in the study area.Keywords: Soybean utilization, rural households, child nutrition
