The Impact of Mining Activities on the Prevalence of Stunting in Children (A Comparative Study in the Mining Area of Langgikima Pesisir and the Non-Mining Area of Wawolesea)
type: item
description: Introduction: Stunting remains a major public health issue worldwide, with 149 million children (21.9%) affected in 2020. In Indonesia, despite the 2024 target of 14%, prevalence was still 21.6% in 2022. Beyond nutrition, stunting is influenced by environmental, socioeconomic, and maternal factors. In North Konawe, Southeast Sulawesi, mining activities further threaten water, sanitation, and food security. The aim of this study is to see Impact of Mining Activities on the Prevalence of Stunting in Children (A Comparative Study in the Mining Area of Langgikima Pesisir and the Non-Mining Area of Wawolesea). Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 58 children aged 24–59 months from mining (Coastal Langgikima) and non-mining (Wawolesea) areas. Data on water access, sanitation, breastfeeding, maternal nutrition, diet, and socioeconomic status were collected through questionnaires and anthropometry. Chi-Square and logistic regression were used to analyze associations and key predictors. Result: Stunting prevalence was higher in mining areas (48.3%) compared to non-mining (27.6%). Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations with access to clean water (p=0.008), sanitation (p=0.001), exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.001), maternal nutritional status (p=0.001), and socioeconomic status (p=0.035). Multivariate analysis showed that exclusive breastfeeding remained the most influential factor, while other variables lost significance after adjustment. Conclusion: Children in mining areas face greater risk of stunting due to combined environmental, maternal, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities. Exclusive breastfeeding emerged as the strongest protective factor. Policies should integrate nutrition programs with improvements in water, sanitation, and maternal health, alongside multisectoral collaboration between health, environment, and mining sectors.

A Cross-Sectional Study of Environmental Pollution Factors Associated with Heavy Metal Levels in Katamba Fish (Lethrinus nebulosus) in Baliara Village Kabaena Island
type: item
description: Introduction: Coastal environmental pollution is one of the biggest challenges for communities whose livelihoods depend heavily on marine resources. Kabaena Island, particularly Baliara Village, faces increasing pollution pressure due to nickel mining activities, unmanaged domestic waste disposal, and intensive fishing vessel operations. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between environmental pollution factors and heavy metal levels in Katamba fish (Lethrinus nebulosus), Method: This research employed a quantitative analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 97 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires as well as fish and seawater samples, which were analyzed in the laboratory using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) and ICP-OES. Data analysis was conducted using Spearman correlation to examine the association between environmental pollution activities. Result: The results showed that heavy metal concentrations in Katamba fish mostly exceeded the safe consumption limits set by WHO and Government Regulation No. 22/2021. Mining activities were significantly associated with Ni levels (r = –0.200) and seawater pollution (ρ = 0.438). Domestic waste exhibited a significant correlation with Pb levels in fish (r = 0.669), while fishing vessel activities were associated with Cd levels (r = 0.317). These findings highlight the substantial contribution of human activities to increasing heavy metal pollution in coastal areas. Conclusion: There is a relationship between environmental pollutants such as mining activities, domestic waste and fishing boat activities with heavy metal levels such as Hg, Ni, Pb and Cd in seawater and catamba fish.

type: item
description: Introduction: Chronic malnutrition among Indonesian children under five remains a challenge despite the implementation of the Supplementary Food Program. his study examined differences in mothers' perceptions of Supplementary Food Program between recipient and non-recipient groups, analyzing five influencing factors: past experience, thinking ability, motivation, feeding time, and social environment. Method: Using a comparative quantitative design, 361 mothers from Pamandati Community Health Center, South Konawe were surveyed through stratified random sampling (146 Supplementary Food Program recipients, 215 non-recipients). Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test and logistic regression. Result: Highly significant differences in perceptions on all factors. Supplementary Food Program recipient mothers showed more positive perceptions regarding past experience (Mean Rank 223.99 vs 151.80, p=0.000), thinking ability (225.86 vs 150.54, p=0.000), motivation (203.16 vs 165.95, p=0.000), feeding time (237.04 vs 142.95, p=0.000), and social environment (265.37 vs 123.70, p=0.000). Logistic regression identified thinking ability (B=2.817, p<0.001) and motivation (B=2.006, p<0.001) as the dominant predictors, explaining 88.4% of the variation in Not Supplementary Food Program acceptance. Conclusion: The study concluded that mothers' perceptions differed significantly based on all factors studied, with thinking ability as the strongest predictor. Health workers should prioritize educational interventions that target mothers' cognitive abilities and motivation. Local governments need to strengthen the social environment support system. Longitudinal studies with broader coverage are recommended to explore additional success factors in integrated nutrition programs.
