This study aims to explore the root growth patterns of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cultivated in a polybag system, and examine the implications for nutrient absorption efficiency and plant survival. The method used was a systematic literature review, with narrative analysis of recent studies in the last five years. Data were analyzed to identify the relationship between root architecture, growing medium, and nutrient absorption efficiency.  The results showed that the polybag system, with its limited root growing space, promoted adaptation of root growth patterns, including an increase in lateral root density and a reduction in primary root length. Coconut fiber- and vermiculite-based growing media were shown to increase nutrient absorption capacity by up to 30%, while inoculation of rhizosphere microorganisms, such as mycorrhiza, increased phosphorus use efficiency by up to 25%. In addition, optimal root zone temperature plays an important role in supporting root metabolic activities.  The conclusion of this study confirms that optimizing root growth patterns through growing media, temperature management, and utilization of microorganisms can significantly increase the productivity of cucumber plants. These findings provide a basis for developing more efficient and sustainable cultivation strategies in modern horticultural systems.

Background: Critical care developed starting from a need for patients experiencing life-threatening illnesses that could be better met if the patient was cared for in a different room. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is defined as a decrease in kidney function characterized by a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 that occurs for more than 3 months (Mahesvara, 2020). Nutrition is an important part of the management of critical patients such as those suffering from advanced Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Providing nutrition to critical patients is to encourage the healing process. Inaccuracy in administering enteral nutrition can cause complications such as high gastric residual volume, gastric retention, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. High gastric residues during enteral nutrition increase the risk of pulmonary aspiration which is the most severe complication of enteral nutrition. Intermittent feeding is one method of providing enteral nutrition to prevent these complications. The aim of this research is to provide comprehensive nursing care for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). This writing method uses patient intervention and observation carried out for three days, to determine the patient's condition and provide appropriate nursing care which is then documented. Results: Based on the results of the intervention and monitoring carried out, it can be concluded that there are differences in the conditions of gastric residue production before and after the enteral feeding intervention using the intermittent feeding method. With the result criteria of maintaining nutritious food intake increases. Conclusion: In critical patients there is a slowdown in gastric emptying and intestinal motility so that if enteral nutrition is given quickly into the stomach there will be an increase in gastric residue. Nursing action as an evidence base that can be given is in the form of providing enteral nutrition using the intermittent feeding method so that the stomach can be better prepared to receive nutrition because it is given gradually, a stomach that is not completely filled will be able to digest food better and the stomach will empty more quickly, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration.

Children require special attention as the nation's next generation who will become valuable assets for future development, so that quality human resources can be formed. The first five years of human life greatly influence a child's growth and development for the next stage, especially for physical growth and intelligence. One of the factors that influences the child's growth process is nutritional status which determines success in improving the quality of human resources (Nurrizka and Saputra, 2015). The main causes of death in the group of children under five (12-59 months) were diarrhea at 10.3% and pneumonia at 9.4%. Other causes of death include dengue fever, congenital heart defects, drowning, injuries, accidents, other congenital disorders, COVID-19, parasitic infections and other causes. (Indonesia Health Profile, 2021). Undernutrition or overnutrition (malnutrition) will happen if food consumption patterns are wrong (Oemar, Novita, 2015). In 2017, 22.2% or around 150.8 million children under five in the world experienced malnutrition. However, this figure has decreased compared to data in 2000, namely 32.6%. In 2017, more than half of children under five experiencing malnutrition in the world came from Asia (55%) while more than a third (39%) lived in Africa. (Indonesian Ministry of Health, 2019).   OBJECTIVE To analyze the pattern of nutritional intake on children's growth at the Pegajahan Community Health Center, Pegajahan District, Serdang Bedagai District in 2023. METHOD chi square test p value < 0.05 means H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, the statistical test results show a significant relationship. RESULTS: There is a significant relationship between nutritional intake patterns and child growth, showing that the majority of respondents with good nutritional intake patterns have children with normal growth, namely 14 (77.8%). From the results of the chi-square test, it was found that the p value was 0.001 or less than 0.05, meaning that Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted that Nutritional Parenting Patterns on Child Growth at the Pegajahan Community Health Center, Pegajahan District, Serdang Bedagai District in 2023
