Abstract

The development of telecommunication antenna technology is increasingly being considered with the need for high and practical antenna performance. The antenna technology can be realized by using the split ring resonator (SRR) metamaterial structure. SRR metamaterial is a periodic material that has minimal manufacturing dimensions and is able to work at high frequencies. The ability of this metamaterial has the potential to be implemented in microstrip antenna structures as telecommunication applications. This study aims to design, simulate and analyze the characteristics of SRR-Circle metamaterials against the frequency function and application performance as a telecommunication antenna. The process is carried out using the Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Studio Suite Software which is operated at a working frequency of 0.009 – 9 GHz. The metamaterial structure is combined from 1 – 4 SRRs in the shape of a Circle with a fixed radius of 3.5 mm. The results of this study indicate the characteristics of metamaterials with negative values in relative permittivity (ɛᵣ), relative permeability (μᵣ) and refractive index (n) with the highest values in the metamaterial structure of the combination of 4 SRR-Circles, each with values of -144.33 Farad/m, -9.29 H/m and -9.07. In its application as a telecommunications antenna, metamaterials have succeeded in improving antenna performance. The highest antenna performance was obtained in the combination structure of 4 SRR-Circles with a return loss value of -34.37 dB, and a bandwidth of 1.00 GHz at a VSWR of 6.77 – 7.77 GHz. The results of this antenna performance have the potential to be applied to telecommunications antenna technology such as satellites, radars and 5G networks.

Abstract

Teacher competency standards serve as benchmarks that can be utilised to assess the attributes deemed essential for professional competence in educators. Educators play a crucial and strategic role in the pursuit of national development objectives, particularly within the realm of education. However, the objective of education appears to be a reduction in competency standards at the conclusion of each academic year for specific subjects, particularly in the realm of science and Basic Physics. Consequently, this initiative seeks to inspire educators and students in secondary education to enhance their understanding of the educational process by engaging in the study of science, specifically Basic Physics, utilising appropriate tools and resources. The suggested mode of engagement involves the processes of instruction and education within secondary educational institutions across the Meranti Islands Regency, encompassing SMA, MAN, MTs, and SMP levels. This activity further offers insights into experiments and demonstration tools for educators in the realm of science and Basic Physics, facilitating a comprehension of concepts that range from simple to intricate natural phenomena through accessible demonstration media designed for practical application. In this manner, educators are anticipated to exhibit motivation and enthusiasm throughout the learning process, accompanied by a thorough and nuanced comprehension of the subject matter. To enhance teacher competency standards significantly, ensuring they become more qualified and professional.

Abstract

Teacher competency standards are indicators that can be used as a measure of teacher characteristics that are considered professionally competent. Teachers have a very strategic role in efforts to realize national development goals, especially in the field of education. However, the goal of education is to experience a decline in competency standards at the end of each year for certain subjects, especially science / Basic Physics. Therefore, this service aims to motivate educators and students at the secondary school level to raise awareness of the education process through the practice of learning science / Basic Physics using adequate equipment and materials. The proposed form of activity is in the form of teaching and learning in secondary schools throughout the Meranti Islands Regency including SMA, MAN, and MTs, and SMP levels. In addition, this activity also provides guidance on experiments and demonstration tools for science / Basic Physics teachers regarding understanding concepts from simple to complex natural phenomena through simple demonstration media for practical tools. That way, teachers are expected to be motivated and enthusiastic in the learning process with a good and comprehensive understanding of the material. So that it can increase teacher competency standards intensively to be more qualified and professional.

Abstract

Acacia crassicarpa bark powder showed potential as an adsorbent due to its high cellulose content of approximately 50%. This research aimed to determine the optimum contact time, stirring speed, and adsorption kinetic models of Acacia crassicarpa bark powder for Cd(II) removal. Adsorbent characterization was conducted using a Surface Area and Pore Size Analyzer, FTIR, and SEM-EDX, while batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate performance. The adsorbent exhibited a specific surface area of 0.460 m²/g and pore diameters ranging from 32.707 to 45.426 Å, indicating mesoporous characteristics. FTIR analysis identified functional groups such as O–H, C=O, and O–Cd. SEM-EDX analysis before adsorption revealed a rough surface with open, irregular pores and dominant elements including C, N, and O. After adsorption, the surface appeared smoother, with pores filled by Cd(II), as confirmed by Cd peaks in the EDX spectrum. Optimum conditions were obtained at a contact time of 70 minutes and a stirring speed of 120 rpm, resulting in an adsorption efficiency of 96.93% and a 1.3613 mg/g capacity. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.9985), indicating that the adsorption mechanism occurred via chemisorption.
