Nutritional problems among toddlers remain a public health issue in Indonesia, including in the Central Lampung region. A mother’s knowledge, as the primary caregiver, plays a crucial role in determining a child’s nutritional status. Good knowledge can help mothers provide balanced nutrition for their children. This study aimed to determine the relationship between mothers’ knowledge of toddler nutrition and the nutritional status of toddlers at Posyandu Tanjung Jaya, Bangun Rejo Subdistrict, Central Lampung. This research used an analytic design with a cross-sectional approach and was conducted from January to February 2024. The respondents were 75 mothers with children aged 1–5 years who visited Posyandu Tanjung Jaya. Mothers’nutritional knowledge was collected through questionnaires, while data on children’s nutritional status were obtained from Posyandu records. Analysis was performed using Fisher’s Exact Test. The results showed that most mothers (93.8%) had good nutritional knowledge, and 94.7% of them had children with good nutritional status. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between maternal knowledge and toddler nutritional status (p < 0.001; PR = 11.29). Mothers with good knowledge were 11 times more likely to have well-nourished children. These findings highlight the importance of continuous nutrition education as a preventive effort against toddler malnutrition.

Mining roads play an important role in supporting the smooth running of mining activities, especially in the process of transporting materials. The bearing capacity of the soil as a road subgrade greatly affects the stability and resistance of the road to heavy equipment loads. This study aims to analyze the effect of the plasticity index and compaction parameters on the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value, as well as to determine the thickness of the road layer based on the laboratory CBR value. Testing was carried out at the South Pit of PT. Bina Sarana Sukses site PT. Baramulti Suksessarana with a field test method using the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) and laboratory tests such as proctor tests, Atterberg limit tests, and CBR tests on various variations of clay and sand soil mixtures. The results showed that increasing the plasticity index decreased the CBR value, while increasing the maximum dry density and decreasing the optimum water content increased the CBR value. Based on the laboratory CBR value, recommendations were obtained for the appropriate road layer thickness to ensure optimal bearing capacity for heavy equipment passing through the research area.

Internal combustion engines generate thermal energy through the combustion of an air-fuel mixture. The incoming air must be filtered, as it contains impurities and particles. While air filters are commonly made from paper, they can also be developed using organic waste materials such as sugarcane bagasse and rice husk. This study aims to analyze the effect of biocomposite air filters on engine power, torque, and specific fuel consumption (SFC), by varying the material composition and the number of pleats, and comparing the results with those of a standard air filter. The method used is a quantitative experimental approach involving dyno testing on a 150 cc motorcycle engine. The tested material compositions include 50:50, 40:60, 30:70, 60:40, and 70:30 (sugarcane bagasse\:rice husk), with pleat counts of 28, 26, and 24. Results showed that the biocomposite filter with 28 pleats and a 30:70 composition delivered the best performance, producing 18.47 Hp and 16.66 Nm of torque—higher than the standard filter’s 17.98 Hp and 15.52 Nm. In terms of fuel efficiency, the 26-pleat filter with a 50:50 composition recorded the lowest SFC at 41.90 g/kWh, significantly better than the standard filter’s 53.03 g/kWh. Conversely, the 60:40 composition resulted in the highest SFC due to increased airflow resistance.

Stockpiles are accumulations of materials such as coal or ore stored at specific locations. Accurate stockpile volume measurement is crucial in the mining and logistics industries for inventory management and cost efficiency. Conventional methods like Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS rely on surface coordinate measurements but require numerous points, especially for irregular-shaped objects. Newer technologies like Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) offer high-precision alternatives by capturing thousands of points per second, expediting and enhancing the resolution of volume measurements. This study compares TLS and RTK GPS methods in measuring the volume of andesite rock stockpiles at PT Bara Tabang. This research uses a quantitative approach, involving six Ground Control Points (GCPs) measured using the Sokkia GRX2 RTK GPS on October 24, 2024. TLS generated over 8.6 million point cloud data filtered down to 35,197 points, while RTK GPS yielded 2,276 coordinates. Accuracy testing showed very small RMSE values (RMSEr: 0.008 m; RMSEz: 0.007 m), and both LE90 and CE90 demonstrated 90% confidence within a 0.012 m range. Volume calculation using Surpac software with the cut and fill method showed TLS produced a volume of 18,766 bcm (51,982 tons/m³), while RTK GPS resulted in 18,694 bcm (51,782 tons/m³), with a difference of 72 bcm or 0.211%.These results indicate that both methods offer acceptable accuracy; however, TLS provides greater data density, efficiency, and precision, particularly for complex or large-scale stockpile objects. Therefore, TLS is recommended for high-accuracy volume measurement in mining operations that require efficiency and detailed analysis.
