Therefore a restricted test was run by the findings of the mean amount of the experimental class x1 = 82,851 and the mean of control class x2 = 70,04 and then t count > t table is revealed 0,2001 > 0,1647, it is indicating that there are variations in learner accomplishment comparing the control and experimental classrooms., so in the second years implementation product game education based VR, get more student in sultan agung islamic university get 90% student very anthusiastic to learning geometry with game education based VR.

ISLAMISASI ILMU DALAM PENGEMBANGAN PENDIDIKAN ISLAM

Islamization of Science is a necessity for the world of Islamic education today. Western civilization with its worldview has hegemony in almost all lines of the academic world. As a result, standards, policies, and concepts of science are more determined by Western perspectives than Islamic perspectives. This issue becomes an increasingly important issue for immediate response because the effects of secularization transplanted into science in the Islamic world have led to the confusion of the concept of science. This research was conducted at Sultan Agung Islamic University (UNISSULA) Semarang. Which aims to describe the concept and application of Islamic culture in terms of the perspective of Islamization of science. This study uses a qualitative research method using an evaluation approach as the analysis knife. Primary data and data sources were obtained from the head of the foundation, the Chancellor, the Vice Chancellor of three fields of curriculum and student affairs, initiators of Islamic Culture, leaders, lecturers, administrative staff, students, and UNISSULA alumni. The secondary data sources are from reading sources from libraries or various other sources that are considered relevant and supportive in providing research data. Thus the Islamization of contemporary science is a necessity that cannot be negotiable in the development of Islamic education.

Evaluasi Utilitas Bangunan Pada GKB UNISSULA

<p><em> In the construction of multi-storey buildings, every aspect must be considered in accordance with the rules set out in the Act. Article 7 Paragraph 3 of Law 28/02 states that building construction must meet four aspects, namely safety, health, comfort, and convenience. To support the realization of these aspects, it is necessary to have a building utility. The Joint Lecture Building (GKB) of Sultan Agung Islamic University in Semarang, is a building that has 10 floors and is a busy building because it is used by several faculties, such as the PGSD Faculty, Language Faculty, Communication Faculty, and Nursing Faculty. In the operation of the GKB building, there are several complaints that occur in the GKB such as electricity that often goes out, some rooms have less lighting / dark, queues of elevator users are piling up and visually, the GKB building has the potential of being struck by lightning because it has high above average.</em></p><p><em>Seeing these conditions, the authors conducted a study to evaluate the reliability of buildings based on the utility of the building with methods that have been used in other studies, namely the scoring method that is based on visual inspection and by adding measurement methods, and calculations. From these results found the reliability value of the GKB building on the criterion of health scores got a score of 81, the health and comfort criteria scored 99, the ease criterion scored a score of 98. So the reliability of the GKB building got a score of 92 and was included in the unfit category.</em></p>

Physical Activity Correlates to Body Mass Index among Medical Students

Physical activity (PA) has a positive effect on preventing risk on cardiovascular and metabolic syndrome, including obesity. Learning behavior that tends to be sedentary causes medical students to tend to be physically inactive. This present study aimed to associate the physical activity (PA) level with blood pressure, body mass index, and non-fasting blood glucose level (NFBG) among medical students. This cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March in 2019 on the first-year medical students at Sultan Agung Islamic University (UNISSULA). A total of 167 medical students (64.7% female and 35.3% male) were enrolled in this study. The international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ)-short form was used to measure the PA level. The activity level was classified into low, moderate, and high. Blood pressure and glucose level were measured using a digital sphygmomanometer and NFBG dipstick. The association between PA level and Body Mass Index (BMI), Blood Pressure (BP), and NFBG level were analyzed using Spearman's correlation test. Chi square test was done to analyse the difference of PA level between male and female groups. The majority of the respondents had a low PA level (64.7%). A positive association was shown between PA level and BMI (p<0.05, r=0.192). Female medical students tend to be physically inactive than males (OR 2.004, 95% CI (1.038-3.8690)). Female students need to be encouraged to do more physical activity. The university's policies that promote physical outdoor activity need to be suggested. Â
