The acidity level of saliva pH is one of the factors that influences oral health. In the context of toddlers experiencing stunting, high saliva pH acidity can increase the risk of serious oral health issues. This research aims to explore the potential impact of cassava chips consumption on changes in saliva pH in stunted toddlers. The study utilized an experimental pretest-posttest design. The research population consisted of 190 stunted toddlers in the working area of UPT Puskesmas Pekkae, Barru Regency, in May-July 2023. The sample comprised 16 stunted toddlers selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon statistical test. The research results indicated that the consumption of cassava chips by stunted toddlers during the first four weeks resulted in a significant increase in saliva pH. There was a significant difference between saliva pH levels before and after consumption in the first week (p = 0.002), second week (p = 0.001), third week (p = 0.001), and fourth week (p = 0.001). However, in the fifth week, there was no significant change in saliva pH (p = 0.020). This means that cassava chips can increase saliva pH to a more neutral level in stunted toddlers during the first four weeks, but this change does not continue into the fifth week.

Indonesia merupakan daerah yang sering mengalami gempa bumi karena itu, konstruksi bangunan harus didesain sesuai dengan standar peraturan yang berlaku. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perilaku struktur dan skema terjadinya plastifikasi pada elemen struktur, serta menentukan level kinerja struktur gedung agar tetap kokoh saat terjadi gempa. Analisis pushover dengan displacement coefficient methode FEMA 440 (2005) yang berbasis statik nonlinier digunakan untuk mengetahui level kinerja struktur bangunan. Studi kasus dilakukan pada gedung beton bertulang RND PT Bernofarm Sidoarjo yang berfungsi sebagai kantor dan laboratorium di bidang farmasi. Gedung tersebut dibangun pada tahun 2015 dengan 6 lantai dan tinggi 28 meter. Sendi plastis baru dapat diketahui dengan melakukan analisis pushover. Digunakan program ETABS v.19 dan SAP2000 v.22 untuk analisis pushover sehingga diperoleh nilai perpindahan untuk arah X dan Y sebesar 0,311 m sehingga level kinerja struktur gedung ialah Damage Control. Pada kategori ini, bila terjadi gempa, elemen struktural gedung mengalami kerusakan minimal sehingga gedung masih dapat digunakan setelah terjadi gempa, namun fasilitas atau kelengkapan operasional gedung mungkin ada yang tidak dapat digunakan sehingga diperlukan perbaikan sebelum digunakan kembali.
