BACKGROUND: The association of air pollution with children’s health and growth has been proved. AIM: This study aimed to assess the length attainment and stunting prevalence of children living in the areas of clay brick kiln and non-clay brick kilns. METHODS: The study was a cross-sectional study conducted from February to December 2020. The location of the study was in Pagar Merbau Subdistrict, Deli Serdang District, North Sumatera Indonesia. Four villages were selected purposively to be the location of study. The total participants were 192 families who have children aged 0–24 years old. To assess the length attainment, the median WHO standard was determined as reference. The growth curve of children was presented in a bubble growth chart. To determine whether the groups were comparable, pair t-tests were applied. RESULTS: Compared to the median WHO standard, the length attainment of boys aged 18–24 months shorter 1.1–1.9 cm and 0.8–1.9 cm (CBK vs. non-CBK, respectively), whereas for girls shorter 1.5–2.0 cm and 0.8–1.2 cm (CBK vs. non-CBK, respectively). The difference length between non-CBK and CBK children at age 18–24 months is 0.8–1.9 cm. Growth curves of children since born until aged 24 months were around −1SD–0SD. The prevalence of stunting is 18.6% versus 19.8%. CONCLUSION: The presence of clay brick kilns in villages treated children’s growth. Government should manage the establishment of clay brick kilns in villages. Children cognitive and height of children at school age need to investigate.
Flies are Arthropoda insects that belong to the order of Diptera. Flies can transmit the disease through allthe limbs such as feces, vomit, body hair, limb hair and especially on the legs that have fine hairs so that theseeds of the disease can stick. Flies have a life activity interacting with a place that is a habitat for diseasessuch as trash, feces and carcasses. Plus its ability to fly 1-2 miles of several species of flies can spreadseveral diseases such as Thgypoid Fever, Parathypoid, bacillary dysentery, amoebic dysentery, and severaleye diseases from various places that have been visited. Flies are insects in general having sensitivity todifferent light wavelengths (colors). This research is a field experiment and includes a Pre Experiment that isPostest Only Design which aims to analyze differences in the density of flies that land on Fly Grill which aredifferent colors in Singa Kabanjahe Tax to plan control efforts which are about when, where and howcontrol will be carried out. in the Singa Kabanjahe Tax TPS for 10 days and the number of flies perched withdifferent fly grill colors (orange, pink, light blue, light green and yellow) for 30 seconds, calculating 10 timesthe calculation with the highest average. The data obtained were analyzed by ANOVA test with an error rateof 0.05. From the ANOVA test data with = 0.05 shows p = 0.221, which means that there is no difference indensity of flies perched on a different color fly grill. The average density of flies, from the lowest to thehighest is as follows: fly grill in orange, light green, light blue, pink and yellow ... The conclusion that can bedrawn is that flies do not like orange, light green and light blue. Meanwhile, the color favored by flies isyellow
The World Health Organization (WHO) collected stunting data showing that Indonesia is one of the three countries with the highest prevalence in the South-East Asia Region (SEAR). Health problems that affect infants are stunting or short stature due to chronic malnutrition where malnutrition is a global problem, including in Indonesia. This research is an analytic observational study with a case control study. The design was carried out at the Titi Papan Health Center, Mabar Hilir District, Medan Deli Regency in 2021 to analyze the influence of risk factors on stunting events with a sample of 88 children under five, 44 cases and 44 controls, sampling was carried out purposively where cases and controls were taken in one population. Data were obtained from Puskesmas, Medan City Health Office, observations, direct interviews with respondents using questionnaires. The results of the study concluded that the most influential variable on the incidence of stunting was family income (p = 0.000, Exp(B) = 9.208). Factors that significantly influence the incidence of stunting are birth weight (p = 0.001, OR = 2.375), education (p = 0.001, OR = 6.923), family income (p = 0.000, OR = 15.857), availability of clean water facilities . (p = 0.000, OR = 9.643), family latrine facilities (p = 0.001, OR = 2.333), sewerage ownership (p = 0.000), OR = 0.405. The need for intensive counseling by health workers regarding factors related to stunting, to increase public awareness to change bad habits that are contrary to health and can cause stunting in toddlers.
Sexuality issues until recently an interesting topic that is always discussed. One of the sexual problems that are often discussed premarital sex.

This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of students of SMA Negeri 1 Berastagi Karo District Berastagi about premarital sex. Research is descriptive research, sample number as many as 50 people. Sampling technique using total sampling technique that is all the population sampled data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. Data analysis using desscriptive statistics. Test results of students' level of knowledge of SMA Negeri 1 Berastagi Karo District Berastagi regarding premarital sex by 58% were categorized with poor knowledge. From the results of these studies are expected to the school and parents can play an active role in providing information on reproductive health and sex education to the students.
