Background: Stunting rates in Badung Regency show an upward trend while information on funding and utilization and who is the beneficiary is still very limited. Therefore, through the District Health Account, it is expected that decision makers will be able to overcome the problem of adequacy, equity, efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability. Objective: to analyze the cost of stunting prevention using the District Health Account Approach. Method: This research is descriptive using cross-sectional studies, data collection through in-depth interviews to the manager of the District Health Office in Bandung District and the manager of the Provincial Health Department of Bali Nutrition and documentation studies. Results: Most stunting prevention costs came from the central government (70.16%), and the highest proportion of the budget was managed by puskesmas (56.74%). Most of the stunting prevention funding was used for operational expenditure (79.43%), and the financing was mainly directed towards all age groups (48.53%). In the lowest 40% (poor families) the average monthly expenditure is only Rp.438,944 or equivalent to 1,962.55 Kcal per person per day, this figure is below the stipulated calorie adequacy rate of 2,200 - 2,500 Kcal per person per day. Conclusion: The cost of stunting prevention program is only sourced from the government, where most costs come from the central government (70.16%), far exceeding the Badung Regency Government (21.16%) and the Provincial Government of Bali (8.69%). The cost of puskesmas stunting prevention program is used for operational expenses for the bottom 40% (poor families) whose average monthly expenditure is only equivalent to consuming 1,962.55 Kcal of food per person per day. Badung Regency Government to increase the financing of stunting prevention which is prioritized for the lowest 40% population (poor population).Keywords: Stunting; Financing; Badung Regency

Product distribution is a crucial element of the supply chain system that ensures the smooth flow of goods from producers to consumers at minimal cost and with high reliability. Distribution efficiency not only reduces operational costs but also improves customer satisfaction, market competitiveness, and business sustainability. In the context of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), distribution efficiency becomes even more critical due to limited financial, human, and infrastructural resources. This study aims to analyze the product distribution efficiency of UMKM Kerupuk Jaya Pesona, located in Cinanggung Village, Serang Regency, Banten Province, by applying two classical transportation methods: the North West Corner (NWC) and Least Cost (LC) methods. Both methods were used to determine the allocation pattern that minimizes total transportation cost across three destination regions: Serang, Cilegon, and Pandeglang. The data include three couriers (as supply sources) and three market destinations (as demands), totaling 18,000 product units per distribution cycle. The results show that both NWC and LC methods yield the same total transportation cost of Rp 358,000,000, although their allocation patterns differ. This indicates that the supply–demand and cost structure of the UMKM’s logistics system is balanced. This research concludes that simple optimization methods such as NWC and LC can serve as practical decision-support tools for MSMEs without requiring complex computational models. The study also recommends the application of the Modified Distribution (MODI) method to verify the optimality of the solution and highlights the importance of logistics efficiency in strengthening MSME competitiveness in the digital era.

Load imbalance in three-phase distribution transformers can increase neutral current and power losses, thereby reducing the efficiency and reliability of electric power distribution systems. This study aims to analyze the level of load imbalance, power losses caused by neutral current, and the effectiveness of manual load balancing using the two-time-point method, namely peak load time (PLT) and off-peak load time (OPLT). The research was conducted on the PNIAI007 distribution transformer at PT PLN (Persero) ULP Enarotali using a quantitative descriptive approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through measurements of phase currents and neutral current, which were then analyzed to compare conditions before and after load balancing.The results show that the load imbalance level was significantly reduced from more than 29% to 2.47% during daytime operation and 1.21% during nighttime operation. The neutral current decreased from 37.81 A to 14.58 A during the daytime and from 51.76 A to 19.83 A at night. In addition, power losses due to neutral current were reduced by more than 85%. These results indicate that the two-time-point load balancing method is effective in improving the efficiency and operational reliability of distribution transformers.
