Norma Perkembangan Motor Milestone Anak Sehat Dan Bergizi Baik Dalam Rangka Pengembangan Suatu Rujukan

Norm of Motor Milestone Achievements In Healthy and Well Nourished Children Leading To The Development A Reference. Background: The prevalence of malnutrition is still high in Indonesia, and one of its functional consequences is level of the intelectual capacity of children. Motor development is an essential of cognitive performance, and it is generally believed related with nutritional status of children, however very few studies had been carried out in the field condition. Objectlves: To describe the ceiling of motor milestone achievements of healthy and well nourished children aged 3-18 months in the development of norms for Indonesian children. Methods: The study was conducted in 4 big cities: Surabaya, Malang, Bandung and Bogor in 2100 healthy and well nourished children aged 3-18 months came from high SES (socio-economic status) families who had no constraints on achieving normal growth and development. There were 17 milestones observed by well trainned enumerators following standard procedure. Analysis of percentiles 5, 10, 50, 90, and 95 for age against motor achievement were carried out for all children. Results: The difference in the attainment of the ceiling of motor milestones between males and females were not significant at any points of observation, therefore sex combined norm curve of motor development for children aged 3-18 months was ilustrated. Conclusions: The norm of motor milestone development for Indonesian children aged 3-18 months has been developed. Before being used as a reference, it needs to be evaluated or it is reliability and feasibility. Keywords: motor milestone, motor development, reference of motor development.

Pengetahuan Dan Sikap Terhadap Kegemukan Pada Anak Di Antara Ibu-ibu Murid SD Usia 9-10 Tahun Di Kota Bandung

KNOWLEDGE AND ATIITUDES TOWARD CHILDHOOD OBESITY AMONG MOTHERS OF 9-10 YEARS OLD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN BANDUNG CITY Background: Obesity is a major contributor for many degenerative diseases. In some populations, metabolic consequences of weight gain were onset as moderate overweight. There is a consistent trend of overweight and obesity in Indonesia and this was tendend to increase in younger adults and children. Objectives: This research aimed to explore and analyze the knowledge and attitudes in revand to childhood obesity among mothers of the Elementary School children (ESC). Methods: One hundred and twelve mothers who owned children aged 9-10 years who studied at the favorites ESC in Bandung City, West Java Province, involved in a cross-sectional study. The ESC was purposively selected, based on observation and data from the provincial government's education office showed that have many overweight students. Results: Mothers of the ESC who haved complete knowledge about obesity (3.6%). The mothers were lack of knowledge about obesity problem (63.4%). Most of the mothers felt unhappy or not proud if they have obese children (94.6%). Many mothers of the ESC felt not proud if their children were obese shown that they had a positive attitude if they got an appropriate information. Conclusions: Socialization of family nutrition awareness should be needed,with this way,every family, especially parents, is more care on childhood nutrition among others how to assess the children's nutritionalstatus and how to monitor their growth status. Childhood obesity could be prevented as early as possible if the nutrition awareness among parents is achieved. Keywords: childhood obesity, knowledge and attitudes, mother, Elementary School children

Public transport demand estimation by calibrating a trip distribution‐mode choice (TDMC) model from passenger counts: A case study in Bandung, Indonesia

AbstractA problem always found in developing countries is the lack of information required for short, medium and long term planning purposes due to money and time constraints. This becomes even more valuable for problems which require ‘quick‐response’ treatment. A flexible model approach allows monitoring a long term plan in order to check its short term performance at regular intervals using easily‐available data. If found necessary, changes to the plan may be evaluated and eventually implemented. For this reason, the approach is deemed appropriate for long term planning and project evaluation even in the case of rapid changes in land‐use, socio‐economic and population parameters usually occurs in most of developing countries.A key element of the approach is a system to update the forecasting model (in particular its trip distribution and mode choice elements) using low‐cost and/or easily‐available information. Traffic counts are particularly attractive to be used in developing countries for planning purposes. The estimation of public transport demand, particularly important for planning purposes, is an expensive and time consuming undertaking. The need for a low‐cost method to estimate the public transport demand is therefore obvious.The objective of this paper is the development of methods and techniques for modelling the public transport demand using traffic (passenger) count information and other simple zonal‐planning data. We will report on a family of aggregate model combined with a family of mode choice logit models which can be calibrated from traffic (passenger) counts and other low‐cost data. The model examined was the Gravity (GR) model combined with the Multi‐Nominal‐Logit (MNL) model. Non‐Linear‐Least‐Squares (NLLS) estimation method was used to calibrate the parameter of the combined model. The combined TDMC model and the calibration method have been implemented into a micro‐computer package capable of dealing with the study area consisting of up to 300 zones, 3000 links and 6000 nodes.The approach has been tested using the 1988 Public Transport Data Survey in Bandung (Indonesia). The model was found to provide a reasonably good fit and the calibrated parameter can then be used for forecasting purposes. General conclusion regarding the advantageous and the applicability of the approach to other environments are given.

Evaluation of risk factors for acute respiratory infections in under-five children in a transmigratory urban area at Bandung, Indonesia. The Respiratory Diseases Working Group.

In April 1988 research assistants interviewed 1617 households in Cikutra in Bandung Indonesia to determine the incidence and prevalence of acute respiratory infection (ARI) and the effect of some risk factors and vitamin A supplementation on the 1961 US$140) were less likely to have had an ARI than those from middle and low income families (p<.05). 95% of the infants were breast fed and breast feeding did have a protective effect against ARI. The small proportion of infants not breast fed was so small that the researchers could not demonstrate a significant protective effect of breast feeding. 48.7% of the 1-5 year children had received at least 1 vitamin A capsule during the last year. Children who had received vitamin A supplements experienced mild-moderate ARI more often than those who did not receive such supplements (59% vs. 52%; p<.05). They also were more likely to experience severe ARI. The Fisher discriminate analysis identified income to be the strongest ARI risk factor in every age group followed by age but its effect was minimal and vitamin A essentially did not affect ARI. The researchers are continuing this study with the same population. It includes clinical and serological examinations of vitamin A status.

Body constitution and muscle strength of becak drivers in Bandung City, Indonesia.

Some anthropometric values and muscle strength of becak drivers who work in Bandung City (West Java province) were assessed. A becak is a non-motorized man-powered tricycle which is used for transportation of people, and goods in the city area. Becak drivers had a heavier body weight, longer leg length, greater thigh girth, and greater back muscle strength than a control group of farmers. It is suggested that these differences between these two groups (becak drivers and farmers) were due to the working conditions of becak driving

Estimation of solid waste generation rates in the city of Bandung, Indonesia

This paper deals with the estimation of solid waste generation rates by empirical methods. A study conducted in the city of Bandung in Indonesia using seven solid wastes sources, residential areas, theatres, streets, restaurants, offices, stores and markets, indicated that some variables had strong correlation with solid waste generation rates. For obtaining the significant level of the variables concerned with each solid waste source, the multiple linear regression programme of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used. From the result obtained, it was possible to obtain a correlation between moisture content and composition of each component of the solid waste.
