The research design used is a randomized group of 4x3 factorial patterns with 3 repeats so that there are 12 combinations of treatments and 36 experimental units. The factors studied are the concentration of ACI super liquid organic fertilizer consisting of 4 levels, namely 0, 1.5, 3, 4.5 ml / L of water and varieties consisting of 3 levels, namely local Gayo, Cheery and Karina. The results showed that the concentration of super liquid organic fertilizer aCI has no real effect on the height of the plant, the diameter of the stems aged 15, 30 and 45 HST, the age of flowering, the number of fruits per day The growth and yield of higher tomato plants is found in the concentration of Super ACI liquid organic fertilizer of 1.5 ml / L of water. Tomato varieties have a very real effect on the height of plants aged 15 and 30 HST, flowering age, number of fruits per plant, weight of fruit per plant, weight of fruit, and potential yields but the effect is not noticeable on the height of the plant age of 45.HST, the diameter of the stem is 15, 30, 45 HST and the number of fruits per bunch. The best growth and yield of tomato plants is found in the treatment of local varieties. There is an unreal interaction between the concentration of Super ACI liquid organic fertilizers and varieties to the growth and yield of tomato plants.

Mangrove vegetation plays an important role and supplier of organic matter derived from litter fall and litter decomposition The purposes of this research was to obtain the productivity of mangrove vegetation by analyzing the litter fall, decomposition coefficient, and percentage of litter decomposed in the northern coast of Aceh Besar District. The research used purpossive sampling method to determine the 6 stations devided into 2 substations (landward and seaward). This research was conducted in July to September 2016. Each substation was put one of the litter trap. The litter trap method was used to know the mangrove litter production. Litter decomposition focused on R. mucronata leaves were studied by using litterbag technique. The litter bags were made of synthetic nylon which had size 20cm x 30cm and mesh size was 1 x 1.25 mm2. There were 3 types of mangrove found, litter production of Rhizophora mucronata as much as 79.21 g/m2/day, Avicennia marina as much as 0.70 g/m2/day and Sonneratia alba was 17.46 g/m2/day. Based on the substation influenced by tidal, mangrove litters found in the seaward higher than in the landward, the average litter fall was 52.05 g/m2/day and 43.32 g/m2/day. Result of mangrove decomposition showed that the percentage of decomposition for the 49th day in the seaward substation was 48.58% and the landward was 41.53%. Mangrove litter decomposition increased during the time at both substation. Decomposition rate of litter for Rhizopora mucronata species classified very quickly where the substation on the seaward was 0.012 (d−1) and landward was 0.010 (d−1). The half-time took in the leaf litter of mangroves for the landward was 69 days and seaward was 57 days, R. mucronata leaves litter decomposited in seaward substation was faster than landward.

Background: Prenatal care is one way to prevent complications of pregnancy, and educational approach is the best approach to improve the knowledge of mothers about prenatal care.Aim: This study aimed to determine the influence of education on knowledge, attitude, and behavior of pregnancy care in Kendari, IndonesiaMethods: This was Quasi Experimental study with pre-post design. There were 4 groups involved in this study, which were: 1) The group that received educational intervention using a modification module from the MHC book of the Department of Health, 2) The group that received educational intervention using MHC book of the Department of Health, 3) The group that only used modification modules from MHC book of the Department of Health, and 4) The group that only used the MHC book of Department of Health. The intervention was given for 6 months. Seventy eight of 4-months pregnant women were selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected by asking the respondents to fulfill the questionnaires, which adopted from the questionnaire of Faculty of Public Health, Hasanuddin University to measure knowledge (15 items), attitude (18 items), and behaviors (15 items) of respondents. Data were analyzed by using Wilcoxon test and Kruskal Wallis test.Results: Results showed thre was an influence of education on knowledge, attitude, and behavior of pregnancy care. Improvement in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of pregnancy care was higher in the group  of pregnant women using a modification moduleConclusion: Education through the class of pregnant woman has an impact to increase knowledge, attitude, and behavior of care of pregnant woman. It is therefore the efforts to maintain educational approach is necessary.

As one of the Local wisdom in Aceh, farmer prefers raising polled cow than horned cow for breeding purposes. They believe pole cow is more resilient in harsh conditions and reproductively better than the horned cow. The aim of this study was to evaluate blood profile and blood biochemistry of the aceh polled and horned cow. The blood profile examined includes erythrocyte value, erythrocyte indices MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume), MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin), MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration), thrombocyte, leukocyte, hematocrit, and hemoglobin, while blood biochemistry includes protein total, glucose, cholesterol, and ureum. Blood was collected from 15 aceh horned and 15 pole cow raised at Research Institute of Improved Livestock and Livestock Fodder (BPTU HPT) Indrapuri, Aceh Besar regency, province of Aceh, Indonesia. The cows were clinically healthy and aged 1,5-2,5 years old. Blood profile was measured using a hematology analyzer and blood biochemistry was measured using a Yuesen Med and Spectrophotometer. Based on the statistic analysis, blood profile and blood biochemistry of the aceh horned and polled cow on all parameters showed no significant difference (p>0,05). It is therefore concluded that there are no different value of blood profile and blood biochemistry between polled and horned cow.

Background: Energy metabolism speeds up during pregnancy that requires pregnant women to have extra amount of nutritions. Provision of education on nutrition during pregnancy is an effort to prevent and tackle malnutrition.Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of education using modification module towards nutritional intake during pregnancy in Kendari, IndonesiaMethods: This was Quasi Experimental study with pre-post design. There were 4 groups in this study, which were: 1) The group that received educational intervention using a modification module from the MHC book of the Department of Health, 2) The group that received educational intervention using MHC book of the Department of Health, 3) The group that only used modification modules from MHC book of the Department of Health, and 4) The group that only used the MHC book of Department of Health. The intervention was given for 6 months. Seventy eight of 4-months pregnant women were selected in this study. Data were collected by using 24 hours food recall instrument, and questionnaire adopted from Child and Maternal Nutrition Survey’s Questionnaire of Faculty of Public Health, Hasanuddin University. Data were analyzed by using Wilcoxon test and Kruskal Wallis test.Results: Results showed there was an effect of education by using the module modifications to the intake of nutritions during pregnancy. Increased nutrient intake was higher in pregnant women using a module class modifications.Conclusion: Education affects nutritional intake of pregnant women. Changes in nutritional intake was higher in group 1 (education modules with modifications), compared with the education group MCH handbook. It is suggested that mothers should improve the nutrition during pregnancy for the better growth of the fetus, composition and metabolic changes in the mother's body.
