Abstract

Background: The tutorial plays a central role in problem-based learning (PBL). The effective implementation of small group tutorials is one of the key contributors to the students success in examinations. This study aimed to identify factors perceived as the predictors for effectiveness of PBL group tutorial.Design and method: The subjects of the study were all of the students (year of 2008) of the Medical College of Sultan Agung Islamic University taking the Tropical Disease Module. The adapted version of the scales adopted in this study included the scale developed by Van den Bossche et al for assessing team (group) effectiveness, trust dimension and learning behavior, a scale developed by Dolmans & Ginns (2005) for assessing tutor’s performance, a 5 points likert scale was used to asses the student opinions. Quantitative approach with correlation and multiple regression analysis was applied.Result: Of 238 students included in the study 84 (37.3%) were male and 139 (62.3%) were female. There was a significantly positive correlation between the trust dimension related to the interpersonal relationship among the members of tutorial group with the effectiveness of tutorial group ( r = 0.631, p< 0.01). There was a medium correlation among cohesion, group potency and psychological (r= 0,700, p < 0.05 there was correlation among the variables of (r = 0,557, p < 0,001), group potency (r = 0,517, p < 0,001), and psychological assurance (r = 0,437, p < 0.001). These three variables contributed to the group effectiveness as much as 48.4% with a F value of 87.857. The component of independence was not found to be the predictive factors for group effectiveness. The correlations among the variables of cohesion, group potency and psychological assurance resulted in contingency coeficien of 0.700 with p<0.05.Conclusion: The higher trust related to the interpersonal relationship among the member of groups, the more effective the group will be. Cohesion, group potency and psychological assurance were found to be the predictive factors for group effectiveness (Sains Medika, 3(1):16-23).

Abstract

Introduction: Strenuous physical activities cause an increase in free radicals, physical stress, psychological stress and decreased immunity. Psychological stress affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis leading to increased levels of cortisol and blood cell apoptosis. However, the studies on the effect of strenuous physical activities on cortisol levels and leukocyte count showed inconsistent findings. Objectives: To examine the effect of strenuous exercise on cortisol levels and leukocytes count.Methods: In this study with post test only control group design, 15 male BALB/c mice were randomly assinged to the following 3 groups: control (non-exercised) group (G-0), once strenouse physical activity (G-1), 3 times strenuous physical activity (G-2). Cortisol levels were evaluated by ELISA.White blood count was determined. Data were analyzed by one way ANOVA test followed by Post Hoc and Pearson, with a confidence level of 95%.Results: The mean cortisol level in group G-0, G-1, G-2 were 11.86 ± 2.10μg/dL, 32.00 ± 0.86μg/dL, 44.58 ± 1.74μg/dL respectively. The number of leukocytes in G-0, G-1, G-2 were 6180±540.37/mm3, 4650±217.94/mm3, 4180±130.38/mm3 respectively. One way ANOVA showed a significant difference between groups (p <0.001). Post Hoc Test showed that the levels cortisol in G-1 and G-2 were significantly higher than thatof G-0 (p <0.001). The number of leukocyte in G-1 and G-2 was lower than that of G-0 (p <0.001). There was a significant negative correlation between cortisol levels and the number of leukocytes (r = -20.14, p <0.001).Conclusions: Strenuous physical activity increasescortisol levels and decrease the number of leukocytes in BALB /c mice.

Abstract

AbstractAntioxidants are compounds that can counteract or reduce the negative impact oxidants in the body. Antioxidants work by donating an electron to compounds that are oxidant so that the oxidant compound activity can be inhibited. Antioxidants are classified into two, namely antioxidant enzymes and non-enzyme. Antioxidant enzymes as enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), a non-enzyme antioxidant found in many vegetables and fruits, which include reduced glutathione (GSH), vitamin C, E, β- carotene, flavonoids, isoflavones, flavones, antosionin, catechins, and isokatekin, and lipoic acid. Low antioxidant enzymes can be used as a marker of high levels of free radicals in the body. Following review aims to provide an overview of the role of antioxidants in preventing the formation of free radicals in the body.
