Abstract

Research has been conducted on the inflation theory by Einstein scalar-Gauss-Bonet theory with inflation potential to study the scenario of inflation. The purpose of this study is to calculate the inflation solution of the ESGB model. The research method used is a literature study with a mathematical approach. In this model, the Gauss-Bonet term is coupled with a scalar field so that it significantly modifies the dynamics of the early universe. The form of the scalar field used is f(Phi) = lambda(Phi)2 and the inflation potential is quadratic, V = (Phi)2 . The lambda values used are 0.1; 0.2; 0.5; 1.0; 2.0; 10. For lambda less than or equal to 0.5, successfully demonstrate the inflationary solution, namely obtaining an exponentially expanding scale factor and a fixed value of the Hubble constant. In addition, the linear e-fold value is obtained by a linear graph and an exponentially decaying scalar field is obtained and an exponentially decaying scalar field is obtained. These results indicate that the ESGB model with inflationary potential can demonstrate the existence of an inflationary solution.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the ethnophysics characteristics of Javanese gamelan and to analyze how these characteristics can be integrated into STEAM-based physics learning. Specifically, the research seeks to identify the ethnophysics phenomena embedded in gamelan instruments, examine their cultural meanings, and formulate pedagogical implications for culturally responsive science education. Using a qualitative ethnographic design, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving gamelan craftsmen, pengrawit, and cultural experts. The findings show that instruments such as saron, demung, peking, kenong, gong, and kendang embody fundamental physics principles, including vibration, resonance, frequency, amplitude, and damping, which arise naturally from their material composition, construction processes, and performance techniques. At the same time, these instruments carry symbolic values rooted in Javanese philosophy, representing harmony, balance, collectivism, and spiritual interconnectedness. The combination of scientific and cultural dimensions demonstrates that gamelan can serve as an authentic learning medium that bridges traditional knowledge with modern physics concepts. Pedagogically, integrating ethnophysics into STEAM supports interdisciplinary learning that blends scientific investigation, engineering design, mathematical reasoning, technological tools, and artistic expression. This approach enhances contextual understanding, creativity, inclusivity, and cultural identity. The study proposes the Ethno-STEAM model as an innovative framework for decolonizing science education by positioning cultural heritage as a legitimate source of scientific insight. Overall, the ethnophysics of Javanese gamelan offers a transformative pathway for physics learning that is both scientifically rigorous and culturally grounded.
