Nutritional problems still being main problems in countries such as Indonesia developing. Nutrition status is the one of indicators. Nutrition status of someone affected by variety of factors. The purpose to know what a correlation between the consumption level of energy and protein with nutrition status of kids under five years old in the work Public Health Centre Talise Mantikulore Palu. The method used is analytic survey that use crross sectional, with 73 respondent as sample, the analytic used in this research are univariat and bivariat analyzes by chi-square test.The results of statistical chi square test showed that is meaningful relation between the adequacy of energy and nutrition status of under five children by the P Value 0,001and there is no meaningful relation between the adequacy of protein and nutrition status ofunder five children by the P Value=0,222.Expected to health workers in Public Health CentreTalise to increase the health services for public especially nutrition program. To hold information about the importance of the consumption level of energy or protein. That decline of under five childrenexperienced lack of energy and protein so that it can be create degrees public health maximum. Keyword : Consumption Level of Energy, Protein, Nutritional Status

Background: Physical activity refers to the movement of the body that causes the expenditure of energy for the maintenance of physical and mental health and is produced by skeletal muscle which is repeated over a period of time. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of physical activity on blood glucose level in high school teachers in Palu, Indonesia.Methods: This was a descriptive analytic research with a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted in Palu city. Seventy-five pre-diabetic high school teachers in Palu city meeting the inclusion criteria participated in this study. Data analysis in this research was done using Ordinal Regression Test.Results: Overall, 40 respondents (53.3%) had moderate physical activity (600-1500 Mets), 32 respondents (42.7%) had heavy physical activity (>1500 Mets), and 3 respondents (4.0%) had light activity (<600 Mets). Spearman correlation test indicated a significant correlation between physical activity and blood glucose level in high school teachers in Palu City.Conclusions: Higher level of physical activity is associated with lower level of blood glucose.

Biomass of sweet corncob and birdlime that is much found in society is the garbage that until now have not widely used as a product that have value added. This research aims to use biomass of sweet corncob and the birdlime as an alternative fuel to substitute fossil energy sources. One alternative to make sweet corncob and birdlime as an alternative fuel is process them into charcoal briquettes so it can produces high calorific value. The process to make charcoal briquettes from corncob and birdlime is very easy which includes charcoal raw material drying, preparation of the adhesive, printing and drying the Briquettes. Besides, the testing of briquettes quality of sweet corncob includes: density (0.54 – 0.78 gr/cm3), calorific value (4936.454 cal/gr), water level (6.39%), ash level (3.8%), vaporized substance level (16.72%) and bonded carbon level (79.48%. Whereas, birdlime corncob include: density (0.61 – 1.3 gr /cm3), calorific value (6033.650 cal/gr), water level (6.83%), ash level (4.8%), vaporized substance level (18.41%) and bonded carbon level (76,48%).
