Stunting can occur in the womb due to inadequate nutritional intake during pregnancy. This study aims to examine the effect of mentoring on the knowledge and behavior of pregnant women in focus-stunting villages. The intervention is nutritional counseling using standard operating procedures and booklets. Mentoring is carried out by nutritionist one times a week for one month. The study is a quasi-experiment with a non-randomized control group design pre-test - post-test design. The subjects were 60 people who were selected purposively from the population of pregnant women in 6 villages in East Lampung Regency. Data analysis used Wilcoxon Rank Test and Mann Whitney. The results showed that there were significant differences in knowledge energy and protein intake. No difference in consumption of sulfas ferosus supplements between the two groups. Nutritional assistance for pregnant women increases knowledge and nutritional intake. A nutritionist can take the mother's class to strengthen nutrition assistance to pregnant women. Assistance to breastfeeding mothers can be used as a topic in further research.ABSTRAK        Stunting adalah kondisi gagal tumbuh pada anak balita akibat dari kekurangan gizi kronis sehingga anak terlalu pendek untuk usianya.

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of using the mind mapping strategy on learning vocabulary for Saudi Learners. Fifty female students from the English Language centre at Taibah University in Saudi Arabia were selected to participate in this study. All students were homogenous in terms of their English language proficiency. The students were performing at the intermediate level of the English language. Their level of English language proficiency was determined by the Oxford Placement Test. Participants were divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. Twenty-five students in the experimental group were taught vocabulary using the mind mapping strategy for six weeks. The control group was taught using traditional methods of vocabulary teaching, such as memorising. To test the effectiveness of the mind mapping strategy, two types of tests were applied for both groups: a pre-test and a post-test. At the end of the treatment, the results of the post-test showed a significant improvement in Second language (L2) vocabulary acquisition by Saudi learners in the experimental group. The findings of this study indicate some important implications for L2 learning, such as that mind mapping facilitates vocabulary learning by increasing the knowledge and the acquisition of the meanings of the vocabulary words used. It also helped with the vocabulary learning process by increasing the level of the motivation of Saudi students in learning new words.

The present study offers a solution to students’ difficulties in reading by examining the effect of two instructional strategies for teaching reading: semantic mapping and morphological analysis, using multimedia as a vehicle for achieving the desired goals. Technology in the present study incorporates fun, meaningful resources that enhance the experimental group students’ vocabulary, and allow the reading instructor to assess the students’ progress in reading. 58 EFL university students enrolled in the first year of the English Department at Al-Imam University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia participated in the present study. They were chosen randomly and were divided into two groups; an experimental group and a control one. Each group had 29 participants aged between twenty and twenty one years old. A pre-test was applied to check out their standard in comprehending the reading texts before the inauguration of the experiment. During the time of the experiment, the control group was taught by the traditional method which focuses on relying on their memorization of long lists of vocabulary, rote learning, reading aloud, repetition and the translation of the new vocabulary. Participants of the experimental group were taught by semantic mapping and morphological analysis that focus on the comprehension of the key vocabulary and concepts included in the reading texts. The experimental group only was taught in the reading classes by implementing the semantic mapping and morphological analysis strategies while the control group was taught by the traditional previously mentioned way. The post-test was applied on both groups of the study at the end of the experiment to check out the students’ reading comprehension standard. The experiment lasted for three months’ time during the first semester of the year 2015. The findings revealed that teaching reading by semantic mapping and morphological analysis strategies improved experimental group students’ comprehension of the reading texts.

Background: Intravenous therapy is a kind of therapy which is often given to children patients. The use of intravenous in a long time will cause phlebitis. Non pharmacology action to cure phlebitis is by applying aloe vera compress on it. Aloe vera is useful because it has low electrolyte concentrate, so it will not cause extravation. This research aims to learn the effect of giving aloe vera to phlebitis children.Methods: The research method is using Quasi experiment with randomized control group pre-test and post-test design. The sample of the research is 30 phlebitis children who are taken randomly. The sample is divided into two groups; 15 phlebitis children are cured with aloe vera compress, and the other 15 are cured by using pure aloe vera. The treatment is done 3 times a day for two days. Phlebitis degree is measured by using phlebitis scale infusion nurse society (INS) before and after interruption.Results: his research finds that the average degree before the act is 3 with minimum-maximum score 1-4. The degree of phlebitis after the act becomes 2 with minimum-maximum score 1-3. Aloe Vera is effective for lowering the degree of children phlebitis with p=0.0000.
