Background: The Grade Point Average (GPA) is an essential factor in medical education, since it is used to evaluate the quality of graduates, with a correlation between a higher GPA and higher-quality doctors. College admission selection system, which is aimed at identifying prospective students who are most likely to succeed in completing education at Faculty of Medicine and has Predictive Validity for undergraduate GPA, is one of factors that can influence GPA.Objective: Knowing the connection between college admissions selection system and grade point average for medical graduates.Methods: This research is an analytic observational study using a Cross Sectional design conducting to utilize a questionnaire on medical graduates for 2020 and 2021 periods. Total Sampling was utilized with a total sample size of 125 people (57 medical graduates for 2020 period and 68 medical graduates for 2021 period) who matched the research criteria. The research was evaluated univariately and bivariately using Somers'd correlation and One Way ANOVA tests, respectively.Result: The bivariate analysis for medical graduates for 2020 period produced a p value = 0.349. For medical graduates, a value p = 0.001 and r = 0.280 were obtained for 2021 period. The value of p = 0.010 was achieved in the One Way ANOVA test.Conclusion: For 2020 period, there is no relationship to college admission selection system and GPA of medical graduates. However, for 2021 period, there is a significant relationship between college admission selection system and GPA of medical graduates, and relationship is included in a weakly positive correlation. In addition, the average GPA of medical graduates varies according on college admission selection system. Graduates who enter tertiary institutions by SNMPTN route have the highest average GPA, followed by those who enter through SBMPTN and SMMU.Keywords: College Admissions Selection System, GPA, Medical Graduate Graduates

Background : Currently, there are many antibacterial soap products circulating in the community. To inhibit or kill bacteria, some soaps add an active substance that acts as an antimicrobial. However, repeated use of synthetic soap can cause skin irritation, dry skin, rashes and bacterial resistance. Some soap products add herbal ingredients to reduce side effects, including soap made from green betel, lime and aloe vera.Objective : This study was conducted with the aim of knowing the differences in antibacterial inhibitory ability of hand soap products made from green betel, lime and aloe vera on the market against the growth of staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Methods : The type of research used is a Quasi Eksperimental disc diffusion method with a research design of the Posttest – only Nonequivalent control group design. The treatment group in this study consisted of a positive control (triclosan), a negative control (Sterile distilled water) and commercial handwashing soap made from green betel, lime and aloe vera with 5 repetitions for each group against the staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Data analysis used One Way Anova statistical test with 95% confidence level.Result : Based on the measurement result, the largest inhibition zones were soap made from lime which was 26.4 mm, aloe vera 22.0 mm and green betel 18.8 mm which indicated that each experimental preparation had antibacterial potential and soap made from lime had a more effective inhibitory power in inhibiting the growth of staphylococcus aureus. Analysis of One Way Anova and Dunnet T3 tests obtained p result smaller than a = 0.05, whuch means that there is a significant difference in the mean diameter of the inhibition zone between the treatment groups. Conclusion : There is a significant difference in the antibacterial effectiveness of hand washing soap made from green betel, lime and aloe vera against staphylococcus aureus bacteria.Keywords : Hand soap, Antibacterial, Inhibition, Staphylococcus aureus, Latar Belakang :Saat ini berbagai produk sabunantibakteri sangat banyak beredar di masyarakat.Untuk menghambat atau membunuhbakteri,beberapa sabun menambahkan zat aktif yang berfungsi sebagai antimikroba.Tetapi denganpenggunaan sabun sintesis secara berulang – ulangdapat menyebabkan iritasi kulit,kulitkering,ruam,dan resistensi bakteri.Beberapa produksabun menambahkan kandungan herbal untukmengurangi efek samping diantaranya sabun berbahansirih hijau,jeruk nipis dan lidah buaya.

Kelompokperlakuan pada penelitian ini terdiri atas kontrolpositif triclosan, kontrol negatif aquadest steril, dan kelompok sabun cuci tangan komersial berbahan sirihhijau, jeruk nipis dan aloe vera dengan pengulangan 5 kali untuk setiap kelompok terhadap bakteri uji Staphylococcus aureus. Analisis data menggunakanuji statistik One Way Anova dengan derajatkepercayaan 95%. Hasil : Berdasarkan hasil pengukuran menunjukkanzona hambat terbesar adalah sabun berbahan jeruknipis yaitu 26.4 mm, lidah buaya 22.0 mm dan sirihhijau 18.8 mm yang menunjukkan setiap sediaan cobamemiliki potensi antibakteri dan sabun berbahan jeruknipis memiliki daya hambat yang lebih efektif dalammenghambat pertumbuhan staphylococcus aureus. Analisis uji One Way Anova dan Dunnet T3 diperolehhasil p lebih kecil dari α = 0,05 yang artinya terdapatperbedaan rerata diameter zona hambat yang signifikan antara kelompok perlakuan. AKesimpulan : Adanya perbedaan secara signifikandari efektifitas antibakteri sabun cuci tangan berbahanSirih Hijau, Jeruk Nipis dan Lidah Buaya terhadapbakteri Staphylococus aureus Kata Kunci : Sabun cuci tangan, Antibakteri, Dayahambat, Staphylococcus aureus
