Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five due to chronic malnutrition. One cause of stunting is poor parenting patterns such as feeding in the first 2 years after birth. Exclusive breastfeeding is the best nutrition a baby receives in the first 6 months of life. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of exclusive breastfeeding with the decrease of stunting in children aged 6-23 months in Sosor Lontung Village, Siempat Nempu District, Dairi Regency.  This study used a cross-sectional study design. The sample of this research was children aged 6-23 months as many as 39 people. Data collection was carried out by interview and measurement of children's length / height. Univariate and bivariate data analysis used Chi Square test with ƿ-value <0.05. Based on the bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting with ƿ-value 0.037. The results showed the percentage of stunting in children aged 6-23 months was greater in children who were not given exclusive breastfeeding (50%) than those who received exclusive breastfeeding (17.65%). The results of bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting with a value-value of 0.037. That is, exclusive breastfeeding can reduce the risk of stunting is getting smaller. It is hoped that all babies will receive exclusive breastfeeding so that the baby can grow optimally.

Air susu ibu (ASI) adalah sebuah cairan tanpa tanding ciptaan Allah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan gizi bayidan melindunginya melawan kemungkinan serangan penyakit. Produksi ASI dipengaruhi oleh dua hormone,yaitu prolaktin dan oksitosin serta laktogagum dalam bahan makanan mampu meningkatkan produksi ASIsehingga daun bangun-bangun cocok untuk peningkatan ASI karena mengandung laktogagum.Tujuanpenelitian: Mengetahui pengaruh daun bangun-bangun terhadap peningkatan produksi ASI pada ibumenyusui di Desa Selayang Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Selesai Kecamatan Selesai Kabupaten Langkat.Metodologi penelitian yaitu menggunakan desain penelitian Quasi Experiment Design dengan menggunakanpendekatan Non-Equevalent Control Group. Penelitian ini melihat bagaimana pengaruh pemberian seduhanteh daun bangun-bangun terhadap produksi ASI pada ibu menyusui dengan jumlah sampel 20 orang.HasilPenelitian: Pada hasil penelitian ini didapatkan p value = 0,000 (p value < 0,05) berarti Ho ditolak, yangartinya Ada pengaruhdaunbangun-bangun terhadap produksi ASI di desa SelayangWilayahKerjaPuskesmas Selesai Kecamatan Selesai Kabupaten Langkat tahun 2018.Kesimpulan : Diharapkan agarinstitusi dapat memfasilitasi pengembangan penelitian dengan menambah sumber-sumber buku danmenjalin kerjasama dengan instansi terkait dan pada peneliti selanjutnya diharapkan dapat mengembangkanpenelitian ini dengan menggunakan daun bangun-bangun sebagai obat herbal untuk menyembuhkanpenyakit lainnya.

Anemia is a health problem throughout the world, especially in developing countries, an estimated 30% of the world's population suffer from anemia. In Indonesia based on the results of the Basic Health Research (BHR), the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women of Indonesia in 2018 was 48.9% higher than in 2013 which was 37.1% and in 2007 of 24.5%. Dates palm are type of fruit that is rich in iron. Iron is needed in the formation of heme which can increase hemoglobin levels. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Ajwa date palm to increase hemoglobin levels in third trimester pregnant women at the Sumiariani Clinic and Pratama Sari Clinic in 2019 This type of research was quasy experiment with one group pretest-postest approach with accidental sampling, the population is third trimester pregnant women as many as 40 respondents. Based on data collection and analysis and data is normal. The results of univariate analysis: the average change in hemoglobin levels before and after the administration of date palm extracts that is before the intervention (9.97 gr / dL) and after (10.38 gr / dL). And the results of bivariate analysis are the results of Dependent T-Test statistical test, the average hemoglobin level obtained before and after the intervention with p value = 0.00 <α = 0.05. The administration of date palm extract is effective against increasing hemoglobin levels in third trimester pregnant women at Sumiariani Clinic and Pratama Sari Clinic in 2019. For pregnant women, it can make date palm extracts together with other micronutrients such as Vitamin C to form soluble Fe complex absorption compounds that are easily dissolved, easily absorbed and made an alternative choice to increase hemoglobin levels during pregnancy.

Penelitian pengembangan desain dengan menggunakan mesin rajut bundar (MRB) jacquard (seamless)telah dilakukan, dan bahan baku yang digunakan meliputi benang poliester (150 D dan 75 D), nilon (50 D), sutera(70 D), kapas (Ne1 30’S dan Ne1 40’S), rayon (Ne130 dan Ne1 40’S) dan benang lycra (20 D dan 30 D). Adapuntujuan penggunaan bahan baku yang beragam dengan nomor benang yang berbeda ini adalah untuk menambahvariasi warna dan tampilan struktur desain serta sebagai salah satu alternatif dalam membuat ukuran (size) bajujadinya. Selain itu untuk mempermudah dalam pembuatan program desain, maka digunakan program perangkatlunak desain diagraph-6. Penelitian ini dilakukan di PDDC BBT yang menghasilkan produk berupa kain dalam(underwear) yang terdiri dari bra, tank top, baju renang, celana dalam, legging biasa, legging terusan dan rok.Selain itu hasil penelitian ini adalah berupa teknologi pembuatan desain dan baju pada mesin rajut bundar seamlessdengan program desain secara on-line dengan mesin proses, yang diharapkan dapat dijadikan referensi, sertaprototype bagi kepentingan industri perajutan kain tanpa jahitan yang ada di Indonesia.
