“…This situation indirectly affected family health status, especially for toddler, due to the difficulty of providing quality foods. The research result that related to stunting incidence in toddler was also related to the income factor in family according to the conceptual framework of UNICEF where the root of problem of nutritional issues in family would affect the growth and development of the children due to various factors, one of which was financial crisis issue, where the family was unable to fulfill the nutritional adequacy for children qualitatively or quantitatively, and resulted in poor children growth and development (Merita, 2017;Oktia, 2017). Our result showed that the average population of Aileu Regency had low income.…”

Stunting can affect the health of toddlers. The prevalence of stunting in Timor Leste in 2014 is 50.2%, whereas in Aileu District is 52.3%. Stunting can interfere intellectual growth and development. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between stunting determinants. The research design was cross sectional. The population of this study was toddlers 24-59 months old, with a sample size of 102 people. Sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Data were analyzed bivariately using simple linear regression, while multivariate analysis was performed using multiple logistic regressions. Bivariate analysis revealed variables that have significant relationship with stunting: immunization (p=0.026), infectious disease (p=0.049), income (p=0.003), total family member (p=0.045). Multivariate analysis obtained two variables as determinant factor of stunting: infectious disease (p=0.025; OR=0.355; 95% CI=0.144-0.877), income (p=0.028; OR=0.332; 95% CI=0.124-0.887). The incidence of stunting in toddlers in Aileu District is very serious (54.9%). Toddlers with stunting demonstrated the adverse effects of stunting on growth, development, and the quality of human resources. Stunting is not only a health sector issue. It is necessary to have appropriate interventions with early and liable management through various related sectors.

“…The mother has the role of being the first educator for the child, the first guardian in the life of the child, and the mother is the first example in the child so that the movements and behavior of the mother are always seen by the child. This causes a mother to be able to give an example to consume healthy food so that children can get used to and maintain eating behavior to choose healthy and balanced foods according to their nutritional needs (Keyle & Carman, 2015;Merita et al, 2017).…”

Improper feeding practice in children is one of the causes of nutritional problems in developing countries. This case causes 1.5 million children to die. Feeding practice is a behavior to control the types and the amount of food for children. This study aimed to identify the mother feeding practice to children in the provision of nutrition in a PAUD at Jatinangor sub-district. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach. The population in this study were mothers who had children aged 3-6 years, respondents were chosen using total sampling technique. There were 55 respondents in this study. Data collection used a CFPQ questionnaire (Comprehensive Feeding Practice Questionnaire) to identify the mother's feeding practice. Data were analyzed using the 75 percentile value of the total score of the questionnaire. Data is presented using frequency distribution. The result showed that 39 (70.9%) mothers had poor feeding practice and 16 (29.1%) mother had good feeding practice. These results illustrate that mother feeding practice is still not appropriate in fulfilling nutrition for children. Nurses as a health worker are expected to improve mothers’ knowledge regarding how to apply good and balanced food that appropriate with children's need.Keywords: Children, feeding practice, nutritional status of children.

“…A total of 68% of those studies use mixed methods, 21% use quantitative methods, and 11% used qualitative methods. The normal PD approach covered studies that tackled issues including health care–associated infections (de Macedo et al, ; Marra et al, ), enhancing health outcomes of women in disadvantaged circumstances (Long et al, ), cancer prevention (Vossenaar et al, ; Vossenaar, Bermúdez, Anderson, & Solomons, ), child marriage (Lackovich‐Van Gorp, ), child rearing (Aruna, Vazir, & Vidyasagar, ), infectious disease control (Babalola, ; Babalola et al, ; Nieto‐Sanchez, Baus, Guerrero, & Grijalva, ), improving pregnancy outcomes (Ahrari et al, ), counselling for family planning (Kim, Heerey, & Kols, ), child malnutrition (Aday, Hyden, Osking, & Tomedi, ; Bolles, Speraw, Berggren, & Lafontant, ; Guldan et al, ; Kanani & Popat, ; Merchant & Udipi, ; Merita, Sari, & Hesty, ; Roche et al, ; Sethi, Kashyap, Seth, & Agarwal, ; Shekar, Habicht, & Latham, ; Shekar, Habicht, & Latham, ; Wishik & Van Der Vynckt, ), neonatal mortality (Marsh et al, ), and managing medico‐social problems through self‐care (Gidado, Obasanya, Adesigbe, Huji, & Tahir, ).…”

Positive deviance is a growing approach in international development that identifies those within a population who are outperforming their peers in some way, eg, children in low-income families who are well nourished when those around them are not. Analysing and then disseminating the behaviours and other factors underpinning positive deviance are demonstrably effective in delivering development results. However, positive deviance faces a number of challenges that are restricting its diffusion.In this paper, using a systematic literature review, we analyse the current state of positive deviance and the potential for big data to address the challenges facing positive deviance. From this, we evaluate the promise of "big data-based positive deviance": This would analyse typical sources of big data in developing countries-mobile phone records, social media, remote sensing data, etc-to identify both positive deviants and the factors underpinning their superior performance. While big data cannot solve all the challenges facing positive deviance as a development tool, they could reduce time, cost, and effort; identify positive deviants in new or better ways; and enable positive deviance to break out of its current preoccupation with public health into domains such as agriculture, education, and urban planning. In turn, positive deviance could provide a new and systematic basis for extracting real-world development impacts from big data. KEYWORDS big data, developing countries, machine learning, mobile data, positive deviance, systematic literature review 1 | INTRODUCTIONMany development practitioners continue to use a traditional "needs-based" approach to development, involving top-down identification of needs and problems, and the external imposition of solutions that meet those needs. This type of approach can work well in addressing specific technical challenges. But it works much less well where development requires learning and behavioural change by beneficiary groups, something which necessitates much greater knowledge of and engagement with beneficiary communities (Nel, 2018;Pascale, Sternin, & Sternin, 2010;Saïd Business School, 2010;Singhal, 2011). As a result, more bottom-up "asset-based" approaches have come into existence, which capitalize on a community's inherent assets and capabilities-including knowledge-in solving development problems. Positive deviance (PD) is one such assetbased approach. It is based on the observation that in every group or community, a few individuals use uncommon practices and behaviours to achieve better solutions to problems than their peers who face the same challenges and barriers (Pascale et al., 2010). Those individuals are referred to as "positive deviants" (PDs), and adopting their solutions on a wider basis is referred to as the PD approach.The term "positive deviance" was first used in 1976 to describe a practical strategy for the design of food supplementation programmes in Central America, a strategy that was derived endogenously rather than exogenously through identify...
