 Introduction: School tables and chairs are needed amongst many other facilities which support the teaching and learning activities. Uncomfortable tables and chairs can cause health problems. The purpose of this study is to design school table and chair sizes in accordance with anthropometry of elementary school students, so the tables and chairs do not cause health problems for children. Methods: The population used in this study was 72 students of elementary school students in Surabaya, and the sample size was 61 students. The sampling method used in this research was a simple random sampling. The anthropometric data measured were shoulder height in the sitting position, elbow height in the sitting position, popliteal-buttock length, knee height, popliteal height, shoulder width, and distance from elbow to fingertips. Meanwhile, the dimensions of tables and chairs measured were chair height, chair width, back length, back height, table height, table width, and underneath desk height. Results: The results of the research show that the sizes of existing tables and chairs are mismatched with student anthropometry. There are 7 dimensions of proposed table and chair sizes which are based on anthropometric data. Specifically, the chair height is 33.25 cm, chair width is 33.25 cm, backrest length is 46.50 cm, backrest height is 49.60 cm, table height is 56.85 cm, table width is 39.05 cm, and underneath desk height is 47 cm. Conclusion: The sizes of existing tables and chairs still need improvement in all dimensions based on the students’ anthropometric measurements.Keywords: anthropometry, chair, elementary school students, table

The research to find out the existence, kinds, and prevalence of parasitic worm egg on the hands and nails of elementary school students lives in IPAL area also its existence in the water of housing dump has been conducted recently. It also analyze the correlation between the number of parasitic worm egg population on the elementary school students hands and nails lives in IPAL area and the water of housing dump in IPAL Terpadu Kota Malang. The research used descriptive explorative method and conducted on June–August 2004. The sample of parasitic worm egg is taken from elementary school students hands and nails ilves in IPAL area and the water of housing dump in IPAL Terpadu Kota Malang. The elementary shools taken as samples area SDN Tlogomas 1, SDN Bareng 3, SDN Mulyorejo 1, SDN Mergosono 1, and SDN Mergosono 2. The locations of IPAL Terpadu Kota Malang used in this research are Tlogomas, Bareng, Mulyorejo, Mergosono Gang 1, and Mergosono Gang 3 area. Identification of worm egg is conducted in Biology Departement, Faculty of Mathematics and Science, State University of Malang. The data taken are in the form of kinds of parasitic worm egg based on morphology characteristics and it will be analyzed descriptively. Then the prevalence of each kind of parasitic worm egg will bw counted. Then the researchers do some correlation analysis. Findings of this research show that from 5 samples of elementary school used in this research only the hands and nails of students in SDN Mulyorejo 1 have no human parasitic worm egg while in four others found 4 kinds of human parasitic Nematoda they are Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis, Trichuris trichiura, and Ancylostoma duodenale. From 5 areas of IPAL Terpadu Kota Malang used in this research only in Bareng area it is not found while in four others found 3 kinds of worm egg they are A. lumbricoides, E. vermicularis, and T. trichiura. Egg prevalence of each kind of parasitic worm species on the elementary shool students lives in IPAL Kota Malang area are A. lumbricoides is 65.22 percent, E. vermicularis is 21.47 percent, T. trichiura is 11.59 percent, and A. duodenale is 1.45 percent. Egg prevalence os each parasitic worm species in IPAL Terpadu Kota Malang are A. lumbricoides is 88.40 percent, E.vermicularis is 10.15 percent, T. trichiura is 1.45 percent, and A. duodenale is 0 percent. In general is a relationship between the number of parasitic worm egg on the hans and nails of elementary school students lives in IPAL area and worm egg in the water of housing dump in IPAL Terpadu Kota Malang.

The implementation of the newest curriculum (Curriculum 2013) leads some elementary schools to finally exclude English from the schools subjects. However, some elementary schools that keep teaching English as a subject still cannot provide appropriate English teaching media, especially to teach vocabulary. In this study, the researchers aimed to know the problems faced by the English teacher and the fourth grade students of SD N 2 Sekaran in the vocabulary teaching and learning, and also to know how to develop teaching media of Kangaroo Smart Frieze. The Research and Development (R & D) approach was adopted by conducting the preliminary survey, designing and developing the prototype of the product, conducting limited testing and product validation, having a revision process and describing the research result. The subjects of the study were the fourth grade students of SDN 2 Sekaran in the academic year of 2013/2014. The instruments used were questionnaires, interview guideline and test. According to the interview to the English teacher and students, it can be concluded that the vocabulary teaching media of Kangaroo Smart frieze needs to be developed with the focus on the quality of the media and also the variety of games played. The development of Kangaroo Smart Frieze was started by observing and interviewing the English teacher and students. After doing that, the process was continued by planning the data collecting instrument of vocabulary teaching media. The main consideration was based on the English curriculum (syllabus) of the fourth grade students of elementary school and also some related theories. Moreover, the data collecting instrument was arranged into two main parts which included the need analysis of the students and English teacher. The further step was designing the prototype. The development process was then followed by other steps; product validation, try-out (limited testing) and revision of Kangaroo Smart Frieze. The results of the students’ test by using Kangaroo Smart Frieze as the vocabulary teaching media, and also the assessment from the experts were very good. Therefore, it could be concluded that Kangaroo Smart Frieze has a good prospect to be used in the vocabulary teaching and learning process. As suggestion, the teachers should always try to choose appropriate vocabulary teaching media, and the future researchers should conduct better research and development to develop better vocabulary teaching media for elementary school students.

Food purchasing power is usually defined as a household's economic ability to obtain food which is determined by measuring the income allocated for food purchase, the price of food consumed, and the number of family members. More than 50% of the sub-districts in South Central Timor are vulnerable to food consumption due to their low purchasing power, thus causing low fruits and vegetables consumption. To analyze the correlation between purchasing power, fruits and vegetables consumption, with nutrition status of elementary school students. Analytic observational using a cross sectional design. Sample size of 108 students was achieved using simple random sampling method. Independent variables are purchasing power, fruits and vegetables consumption. Dependent variable is nutrition status. Fruits and vegetables consumption data was collected using food frequency, purchasing power data was collected using questionnaires, and nutrition status was collected by calculating IMT/U. The statistics tests used were chi square test. The mean number of fruits and vegetables consumption of the elementary students was 0,36±0,483 and the mean number of purchasing power was 2,80±0,405. Bivariate study test results show a significant correlation between purchasing power and nutrition status (p=0,039) and a significant correlation between fruits and vegetables consumption and nutrition status (p=0,000). There is a correlation between purchasing power, fruits and vegetables consumption, and nutrition status in elementary school students.

This research was an experimental study using a post only test research design. The procedure of this study consisted of a prerequisite test and a hypothesis test. The prerequisite test consisted of tests of normality and homogeneity and the hypothesis test consisted of the T test. The calculation results found that the t count of 12.2023 and t table 11.66895 at the level of significance α = 0.05 because t count waslarger than t table then Ho was rejected , and Ha was accepted. So it can be concluded that there was a significant influence on the use of thematic teaching materials using CTL on the learning outcomes of elementary school students.
