Early child development is a critical phase for lifelong health, resulting from the influence of various factors. The present study assessed the factors associated with children’s deviant development. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 88 infants aged 6-12 months in six Public Health Centres in East Pontianak, West Kalimantan. Breastfeeding duration at each session, the frequency in a day and the length of breastfeeding in months, mothers’ knowledge, behavior, and the habit of squeezing in children were the risk factors for early development. A chi-square analysis of the relationship between risk factors and children’s development. Overall, the results indicated that shorter breastfeeding duration at each session (p=0.027), non-exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.050), and low mothers’ knowledge (p=0.032) significantly affected children’s development. These results suggested that exclusive breastfeeding and enough knowledge enhance infant development

Telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai perbandingan udang rebon dengan kacang merah dan konsentrasi tepung tapioka terhadap karakteristik dari bakso kering. Penelitian utama meliputi dua faktor, faktor pertama adalah perbandingan udang rebon dengan kacang merah terdiri dari tiga taraf yaitu (6:1), (5:2), dan (4:3). Faktor kedua adalah konsentrasi tepung tapioka terdiri dari tiga taraf yaitu 10%; 12,5% dan 15%. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan pola faktorial 3x3 dan ulangan tiga kali. Respon dalam penelitian ini berupa pengujian organoleptik (uji hedonik warna, aroma, rasa, dan tekstur), analisis kimia (kadar protein metode Kjeldahl, kadar air metode gravimetri, dan kadar serat kasar metode gravimetri), dan analisis fisik (uji waktu masak, dan uji volume pengembangan). Produk yang dipilih diuji secara kimia mulai dari kadar lemak, kadar karbohidrat, kadar abu, dan kadar kalsiumnya. Hasil penelitian utama didapat perbandingan udang rebon dengan kacang merah berpengaruh terhadap rasa, kadar protein, kadar air, kadar serat, dan volume pengembangan. Konsentrasi tepung tapioka berpengaruh terhadap warna, aroma, rasa, tekstur, kadar protein, kadar air, waktu masak, dan volume pengembangan. Interaksi antara perbandingan udang rebon dengan kacang merah dan konsentrasi tepung tapioka berpengaruh terhadap warna, aroma, rasa, tekstur, kadar protein, kadar serat, dan volume pengembangan. Produk yang dirpilih yaitu produk a2b1 (perbandingan udang rebon kering dengan kacang merah (5:2) dan konsentrasi tepung tapioka 10%) yang memiliki waktu masak 9,93 menit; volume pengembangan 24,93%; kandungan protein 19,27%; kadar air 10,25%; kadar serat 3,14%; karbohidrat pati 33,328%; lemak 1,23%; kadar abu 2,737%; dan kadar kalsium 74,469 mg.
