Background: Faculty of Medicine, YARSI University has experienced a paradigm shift in higher education from a content-based curriculum to a competency-based curriculum that has been applied since the academic year of 2007/2008 using a problem-based learning approach. Progress test is an evaluation that is used to measure the student’s competency in the field of knowledge in its entirety. Faculty of Medicine, YARSI University has yet to apply these progress test. Thus, this research is aimed to execute a progress test trial in attempt to use it as a standard measurement to observe student capabilities in the field of knowledge, either as the individual or as a whole class.Method: This research uses a qualitative method. The research sample consists of 200 students from the faculty of medicine chosen by using a randomized approach for each class, starting from the class of 2013 (first year students) until the class of 2010 (fourth year students).Results: Based on student entrance levels in years, 4th year students had acquired a higher score on the progress test trial in comparison to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students. The results had also shown that the students in their first year of study had lower scores when compared to the students in their last year of study (4th year). This indicates that the longer the period of study or the more time spent in the study process, the better the scores achieved on the progress test.Conclusion : Faculty of Medicine, YARSI University has successfully executed the progress test trial in the first week of the third block in the odd semester of the academic year of 2013/2014. The progress test itself consisted of 200 questions and was taken by 200 student samples that were chosen in a randomized manner. The results of the progress test had revealed that there was an increase in the average examination grades of students in the 1st year until the 4th year, which is consistent with the level of understanding of lectures accordingly to each year. Item Analysis on the test showed a good distribution in the level of difficulty, where the majority of questions were held in the moderate level of difficulty.
Kegiatan dilakukan sosialisasi pembekalan pengetahuan tentang kehalalan. pre test dilakukan diawal pelatihan, pos test serta ujian praktek di akhir pertemuan. Hasil kegiatan sosialisasi kehalalan dan ketahyyiban ini berhasil karena terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan dan pengalaman peserta.
Diabetes Melitus merupakan penyakit metabolik dengan karakteristik kadar gula darah tinggi akibat kelainan sekresi dan atau kerja insulin. Beras hitam (Oryza sativa L. indica) secara empiris dipercaya dapat mengendalikan kadar glukosa darah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui aktivitas antidiabetes dari infusa beras hitam dengan menggunakan metode uji toleransi glukosa dan inhibisi ?-glukosidase. Uji toleransi glukosa dilakukan secara oral menggunakan 15 ekor tikus (Rattus novergicus) yang dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok, yaitu Na-CMC, glibenklamid dan infusa O. sativa dengan konsentrasi 10, 50 dan 100%. Tiga puluh menit setelah semua kelompok diberikan perlakuan, semua hewan uji diberikan glukosa 50%. Kadar glukosa darah diukur pada menit ke-0, 30, 60, 90 dan 120 dengan menggunakan glukometer. Aktivitas inhibitor ?-glukosidase diuji secara in vitro dengan menggunakan substrat p-nitrofenil-?-D-glukopiranosida dan enzim ?-glukosidase. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan infusa O. sativa dapat mempengaruhi toleransi glukosa darah pada konsentrasi infusa beras hitam 50% dan inhibisi ?-glukosidase diuji secara in vitro didapatkan niai IC50 sebesar 77,92 µg/mL. Nilai ini lebih baik dibanding acarbose yang hanya memberikan dengan nilai IC50 sebesar 421,55 µg/mL. Hasil ini menunjukkan O. sativa berpotensi menurunkan kadar glukosa darah dan inhibisi ?-glukosidase.
