Enhancing community concern for orphans is an essential aspect of inclusive and sustainable social development. This community service activity aims to implement strategies of empathetic communication and social management to improve the quality of social interactions and community attention toward orphans. The method applied was a participatory and qualitative descriptive approach, involving both the community and orphans in all stages of the activity, from planning, implementation, to evaluation. The results indicate a significant improvement in social interaction quality between the community and orphans. The children exhibited positive emotional responses, such as comfort, acceptance, and appreciation, while the community demonstrated increased participation, collective responsibility, and structured social management skills. The integration of empathetic communication and social management produced dual impacts: enhanced emotional well-being of orphans and strengthened social empathy within the community. These findings suggest that this strategy can serve as a sustainable model for social care activities and can be replicated in other communities. Therefore, the application of empathetic communication and social management has the potential to support inclusive social development, foster community solidarity, and improve the welfare of vulnerable groups sustainably.

One of the stunting locations in East Tanjung Jabung Regency is located in Geragai Sub-district, Pandan Lagan Village. According to data from the Puskesmas in 2019, the incidence of stunting in Pandan Lagan Village was 35 toddlers, in 2020 it was 17 stunting children out of a total of 70 children in Pandan Lagan Village. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal nutritional status, history of maternal conditions, and maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK with the incidence of stunting in Pandan Lagan Village. This type of research is quantitative research, using a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples to be studied with the Lemeshow Formula is 45 respondents. The dependent variable is stunting and the independent variables are maternal nutritional status (pre-pregnant maternal BMI and weight gain during pregnancy), history of maternal conditions (maternal age during pregnancy, birth spacing), and maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK. The research instrument used a questionnaire sheet, then the data was processed through data editing, data coding, data entry, data cleaning, and data processing, then analyzed univariate, bivariate with a chi-square test, and multivariate with multiple logistic regression test. Based on the results of the study, there is a relationship between pre-pregnancy maternal BMI with a risk of 4,464 times, weight gain with a risk of 3,75 times, maternal age during pregnancy with a risk of 3,0 times, and spacing of babies with a risk of 2,444 times with the incidence of stunting. There is no relationship between maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK and the incidence of stunting with a p-value = 0,114, and it is known that the pre-pregnancy mother's BMI variable is the variable that has the greatest influence on infants with stunting nutritional status (odds ratio = 15,943). For this reason, it is expected to be more intensive in educating couples of childbearing age, pre-pregnant mothers, or early on to adolescent girls to pay attention to factors that affect stunted children, especially to have an ideal BMI so that it will reduce the risk of having children with stunted nutritional status.

The period from infancy in the womb to the first few years of birth is known as the Golden Age, which is a golden period in growth and development in human life. The Golden age is also known as a critical time which, if not used properly, will cause permanent damage. Nutritional intake has an important role in the Golden Age period. Not fulfilling adequate nutritional intake at this time will greatly affect the growth and development of children. The provision of complementary food for ASI (MP-ASI) is one of the factors that can influence this growth and development. Given the importance of nutritional intake during this golden period of child development, it is necessary to provide complementary feeding education to mothers. As the smallest and foremost structure in government health services, posyandu cadres are expected to be able to empower mothers to pay attention to children's health, especially in providing MP-ASI. This community service was carried out with the target of posyandu cadres in Padanglampe Village, Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi. This community service activity uses an action research approach. This activity succeeded in increasing the knowledge and attitudes of the cadres which were measured using questions before and after the intervention. Sustainability coaching is needed for cadres in order to obtain updated knowledge and skills, especially those related to balanced nutrition, so that they have sufficient provisions in empowering family nutrition.

Petai (Parkia speciosa Hassk) is a horticultural plant as a vegetable that is beneficial for health. Petai can help treat digestion to help neutralize stomach acid. Petai has a fairly high nutritional content, namely vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron so it is necessary to make efforts to cultivate petai plants as a business opportunity. Petai trees grow and develop in Kenayan village, namely on vacant village treasury land, cliff land and yard. This service aims to increase the knowledge of farmers in the cultivation of petai. Service activities are carried out using a participatory method. The service activities were carried out 4 times, namely counseling on petai cultivation related to the provision of plant materials, care, harvesting and post-harvest, socialization about the propagation of petai plants by grafting, handing over assistance of a number of grafted petai seeds in the hope of fruiting more quickly and assistance in socialization about petai cultivation. Public knowledge about petai cultivation and how to propagate petai by grafting has increased. Grafting is one way to improve the quality of plants by attaching a piece of tree bark with buds from the scion to a slice of the bark of another tree from the rootstock so that it grows together to form a new plant. Planting petai in the yard of the house is an alternative as an herbal treatment to improve health and increase family income.

Background: Nutritional problems that occur in early life have serious consequences. Underweight in children under five accounts for 4.7% of deaths or two million deaths from all deaths of children under five in the world. Mother's Milk Breast milk is the best food because it contains balanced and perfect nutrition for baby's growth and development. However, considering that when mothers are unable to breastfeed or can only breastfeed partially, there is a legitimate market for breast milk replacement products (PASI) for infants as an effort to fulfill infant nutrition. Methods: This research is a quantitative research with a correlational approach using a cross sectional design. This study aims to determine the relationship between the provision of breast milk substitutes with the nutritional status of infants at the UPT Puskesmas Aek Natolu, Lumban Julu District, Toba Regency in 2021. The population in this study were all infants aged 6 months in the working area of the UPT Puskesmas Aek Natolu as many as 32 babies. The sampling technique in this study was total sampling so that the number of samples was 32 infants. Data analysis was carried out by statistical tests using chi-square with a significance degree of = 0.05. Results: Most babies were not given PASI, as many as 22 people (68.7%) and a small portion were given PASI, namely 10 people (31.3%). Most of the reasons why babies were given PASI were recommended by family/friends as many as 5 people (50%), because 3 people did not get breast milk (30%) and a small part because the mother worked as much as 2 people (20%). Most of the baby's nutritional status is normal, as many as 25 people (78.1%.) and a small portion of the abnormal status is as many as 7 people (21.9%). The results of the chi square test obtained a p-value = 0.019, this value < 0.005, this means that there is a significant relationship between the provision of Breast Milk Substitutes (PASI) and the nutritional status of infants.  

 Assessment of food consumption can be used to determine the amount and source of nutrients eaten. This can help show the supply of nutrients in the body that is sufficient or less regular with balanced nutrition that supports stamina and body health, especially for children. This habit supports physical and mental growth. Familiarizing children with healthy eating patterns is easy. Many parents complain about their children's poor eating habits, such as refusing to eat rice complete with side dishes, choosing only sweet foods or refusing to eat the same for various reasons. Of course it makes parents worry about the development of the baby (Luchan, 2014). The results of the research obtained, can be seen from research on 32 respondents about the relationship between diet and nutritional status in toddlers aged 1-4 years in Huta III Village Tanjung Pasir Simalungun Regency can be drawn as follows: Based on the largest frequency of eating respondents have a good frequency of eating as many as 25 people (78.12%), respondents have a frequency of eating that is not good that is 7 people (21.88%). Based on the portion of food the majority of respondents had a good portion of food, namely 21 people (65.62%), the portion of food that was not good was 11 people (34.38%). Based on the main food, respondents have a good type of food, namely 19 people (59.38%) and 13 people (40.62%).

Complementary breast milk food (MP ASI) is food that is easy for babies to consume and digest. MP ASI given must provide additional nutrition to meet the nutritional needs of a growing baby. Even though breast milk is the best food for babies, babies aged > 6 months need more vitamins, minerals, protein and carbohydrates. This high nutritional need cannot only be obtained from breast milk, but also requires additional complementary foods from breast milk. So, what are the benefits of giving MP ASI to babies? MP ASI makes babies have a more complete source of nutrition. Even though breast milk is the best food for babies, after the age of >6 years babies need more vitamins, minerals, proteins and carbohydrates. This high nutritional need cannot only be obtained from breast milk, but also requires additional complementary foods from breast milk. However, MP ASI ~ does not mean stopping breastfeeding because during the first year MP ASI is only a means to supplement breast milk. MP ASI makes the baby less dependent on consuming excess breast milk. Giving MP ASI aims to train and get the baby used to consuming food that contains nutrients. that his body needs as he ages. Apart from that, MP ASI also helps develop the baby's ability to chew and swallow food.

We hope that in future counseling, there will be more focus on nutrition during the first, second and third trimesters of pregnant women.

Some residents, sometimes use herbal plants to treat perceived health complaints, but their utilization is not optimal because so far the use of traditional medicinal plants is only based on the opinions of friends or neighbors and hereditary traditions. The use of traditional medicine that is not in accordance with the rules, is feared to reduce the efficacy of the drug itself. If the use is too much, it is feared that it will also have a toxic effect that will be dangerous for the community. For this reason, it is necessary to educate the public, so that the utilization of family herbal plants can be optimal, and the health status of the community increases. Sweet potato leaves can also increase milk production because in the sweet potato leaves there are galactagogue substances that can increase breast milk production so that they can meet the nutritional needs of babies through breast milk. The socialization activity was carried out on Wednesday, February 16, 2022 at 09.00 WITA, located in Tanakaraeng Village, Manuju District, Kab. Gowa. This activity aims to provide information to the public about various plants that have efficacy as herbal plants, how to use herbal plants, especially for obstetric services, which includes how to use, process and dose/dose herbs. This educational process uses a lecture method with the help of powerpoints and leaflets.

Humans need nutrients to live, grow, develop, move, and maintain health. Nutritional needs are not the same for everyone. The growth and development of school-age children, especially teenagers, depends on providing adequate and balanced nutrition. Teenagers have more a lot of activities that affect the amount of energy the body needs. If there is an imbalance between food intake and output of energy for a long time, it can also affect the value of a person's nutritional status. Nutritional status is one of the important elements in shaping health status. Nutritional status is a condition caused by a balance between food intake and nutritional needs. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between food intake, physical activity, and nutritional status in students of Vocation High School 1 Tegal City.

Chloramphenicol was used as a positive control as a positive control. It was then incubated at 37o for 24 hours, then the inhibition zone formed was then measured. The result of this research is pumpkin seed extract (curcubita moschata) has antibacterial activity in the presence of inhibition around the wells of each extract concentration. At a concentration of 10% extract with an inhibitory diameter of 19 mm, a concentration of 15% in an inhibitory diameter of 20 mm, a concentration of 20% in an inhibitory diameter of 21 mm and for a concentration of 15% with an inhibitory diameter of 24 mm, it can be concluded that the extract of pumpkin seeds (curcubita) moschata.) has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

Kekurangan gizi merupakan permasalahan serius, sekitar 30% penduduk dunia termasuk Indonesia, terutama anak-anak, berisiko menderita kekurangan gizi Zn. Kekurangan gizi Zn juga menjadi salah satu faktor kekerdilan (stunting) yang prevalensinya cukup besar dan merata di Indonesia. Demikian pula masalah anemia karena kekurangan asupan zat gizi mikro terutama zat besi. Beras adalah makanan pokok sebagian besar penduduk di Indonesia. Sebagai pangan utama, beras diketahui memiliki nilai gizi mikro yang tidak memadai sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan kekurangan gizi bagi konsumen. Biofortifikasi merupakan salah satu inovasi dalam meningkatkan mutu gizi beras. Keuntungan biofortifikasi antara lain : (1) dapat dikembangkan pada bahan makanan pokok, (2) lebih murah dan menguntungkan dari aspek budidaya karena benih yang sudah melalui proses fortifikasi akan terikut pada generasi selanjutnya, (3) bermanfaat bagi masyarakat konsumen rawan gizi. Kandungan mineral penting seperti Fe (besi) dan Zn (seng) pada beras dapat ditingkatkan melalui biofortifikasi menjadi beras kaya Fe atau Zn. Beras kaya gizi mineral hasil biofortifikasi dapat dimanfaatkan dan dikembangkan Pemerintah guna menanggulangi masalah gizi pada masyarakat, terutama dari golongan ekonomi lemah.
