The Influence of Fitness Level on Al Qur’an Memorization Ability among UMY UNIRES Students
Full text linkOne of the activity programs that students at UMY University Residence (UNIRES) must complete within the first year is memorizing Al-Qur'an juz 30. Physical fitness has been linked to good memorization abilities and improving overall cognitive function. More evidence is needed to see how fitness level influences the ability to memorize Al-Qur'an, especially among students. This research aimed to determine the effect of providing an aerobic fitness program on the ability of UNIRES students to memorize Al-Qur'an. The quasi-experimental pre-post test research method without a control group involving 29 participants was conducted; it consisted of 15 male and 14 female residents of UNIRES, who were taken using convenience sampling. The intervention was an aerobic exercise fitness program guided by an instructor, which is carried out every two days for 30 minutes for 14 days and can be followed independently via the YouTube link provided. The fitness test is carried out using the 6-minute walk test method, given before and after students are given aerobic treatment and determined by measuring VO2 max. Participants were asked to memorize Al-Qur'an Surah An Nisaa verse 23 and measured the duration of memorization. This verse was chosen because of the trickiness and complexity level of the words; there are several similar words/sentences repeated (words ending in تُكُمْ) in the verse. The average VO2 max before and after intervention was 40.97 ± 9.87 and 42.68 ± 5.00, while memorization ability was 2,496.21 ± 1,654.53 seconds and 1,162.62 ± 726.33 seconds. There was no significant difference in VO2max before and after training with p 0.508, greater than 0.05. Conclusion: No significant correlation exists between memorization time and VO2max, either before or after training. The interventions need to be extended to get more optimal results, and the number of participants needs to be increased, besides the involvement of a control group
The Effect of Aloe Vera Tea on Constipation Management And Safety of Fetal Growth
Full text linkConstipation is one of the 60% of gastrointestinal discomforts in pregnancy. WHO (2018) states that 11-38% of pregnancies will experience constipation.

Methods: This research is an experimental study, a laboratory pre-clinical study using a pre-post test randomized control group design in-vivo method. Against 24 pregnant mice constipated by induced oral extract of gambier 1 ml. Results: The control group intervention (Dulcolax 0.1 ml/20grBB) had a higher mean frequency than the aloe vera tea treatment. The results of the ANOVA test of 0.013<0.05 showed a significant difference between the four groups after five days. The category of the fastest onset of action of laxatives was shown in K3 (aloe vera tea dose of 0.2gr/20grBB) at 03:08 minutes compared to the control group (Dulcolax 0.1gr/20grBB) at 04:35 minutes. The ANOVA test of 0.000<0.05 showed a significant difference between K1, K2, K3 and K4. Based on the weight of the fetuses from the four groups was not significantly different (0.764>0.05). Conclusion: Dulcolax 0.1 ml and aloe vera tea 0.2gr/20grBB effectively increased the frequency of defecation in mice. Aloe vera tea 0.2gr/20grBB was very effective, with the fastest onset of laxative action compared to the control group. Aloe vera tea affects fetal growth in the form of a decrease in body weight at the highest dose of 0.4gr/20grBB.
