Aproksimasi Bragg-Williams pada model Ising 2D material feromagnetik disajikan dalam makalah ini berdasarkan tinjauan mekanika statistik. Mekanika statistik menjelaskan fenomena fisika pada skala makroskopik ditinjau dari bentuk interaksi materi penyusun sistem tersebut. Berdasarkan tinjauan mekanika statistik, jika ungkapan energi sistem diketahui maka fungsi partisi sistem tersebut akan dapat ditentukan sehingga besaran-besaran termodinamik pada skala mikroskopik dapat ditentukan. Sistem makroskopik tersusun oleh materi dengan kuantitas yang sangat besar dengan karakteristik yang juga sangat kompleks sehingga tidak bisa lagi didekati dengan mekanika klasik. Berangkat dari permasalahan ini, Ising membangun sebuah model sederhana untuk menjelaskan fenomena pada skala makroskopoik dengan melihat keteraturan interaksi yang terjadi pada skala mikroskopik. Dengan menggunakan model tersebut, Ising berhasil menyatakan ungkapan energi total dan fungsi partisi sebuah sistem material feromagnetik. Banyak pendekatan yang telah dilakukan untuk mencari solusi model Ising ini, pendekatan yang paling sederhana adalah aproksimasi Bragg-Williams. Dari hasil aproksimasi Bragg-Williams pada model Ising 2D diperoleh informasi bahwa kemagnetan bahan feromagnetik ditentukan oleh tingkat keteraturan spin dari atom-atom dalam kristal (short-range order dan long-range order). Keteraturan spin-spin ini akan berkurang dan akhirnya lenyap saat mencapai temperatur kritis. Temperatur kritis merupakan temperatur transisi material feromagnetik dari sifat magnet ke bukan magnet. Pendekatan ini berhasil menjelaskan fenomena magnetisasi spontan dan peristiwa perubahan capasitas panas yang terjadi secara drastis pada material feromagnetik. Miskipun pada awalnya model Ising digunakan untuk menjelaskan terjadinya fenomena kritis pada material feromagnetik, namun saat ini sudah dikembangkan untuk memodelkan berbagai fenomena fisika yang lain seperti binary alloy, kisi gas, cacat kristal, ketidak teraturan material kaca, bahkan sejumlah fenomena di luar bidang fisika.

Semarang is the capital of Central Java Province and is the most developed city in Java island. This city is one of the most important cities in the north coast of Java. Most of Semarang’s landscape consists of lowland areas that become floodplain of the large rivers that flow through the city. Water is not only used for drinking but also for other necessities such as bathing, washing, agricultural and industrial needs, electricity generation, etc. The objective of this study was to determine the conductivity value of groundwater from several locations in Semarang as the conductor of electricity. This study used groundwater samples from seven locations in Semarang. The tests conducted including TDS (Total Dissolved Solid) test by inserting TDS meter into the water and recorded the value after 3 seconds of observation. The conductivity test was done by water electrolysis using a buzzer circuit. The test was conducted by inserting the electrode into the water for 3 seconds, then observed the buzzer sounding (soft or loud). Afterward, the water temperature was recorded using the thermometer. Results of this study showed the different water conductivity of groundwater collected from different locations. The lowest conductivity was obtained from S-1 sample with TDS value of 50 ppm, while the highest conductivity was obtained from S-7 sample with TDS value of 549 ppm. The higher the TDS and temperature value, the higher the electrical conductivity.ÂÂ

Conceptual problem solving skills are one of the factors for student success in learning physics. Problem solving skills have a close relationship with reasoning skills. This study aims to analyze conceptual problem solving and student’s empirical inductive reasoning in learning physics in elasticity subject. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a one-shot case study research design. The research data were obtained from written tests. For conceptual problem solving skills, the average score percentage for principle aspects was 50.79%, justification aspects 3.17%, and plan aspects 38.49%. The results showed that the aspects of student justification in the elasticity subject were still low. Students have not been able to provide a complete explanation of why a principle or law of physics applies to a problem. For empirical inductive reasoning skills, the percentage score for the class inclusion pattern average was 31%, the conservation pattern was 10%, and the serial ordering pattern was 38%. Students have not been able to apply conservation thinking to an object, meaning that students do not understand that if nothing is added or removed from an object, then the properties or characteristics of the object will remain the same even though their appearance is different. The research results are expected to provide benefits, namely: (1) for students, as motivation to improve learning performance so that good learning outcomes are achieved, and (2) for teachers, as a basis for applying appropriate learning methods to develop student’s conceptual problem solving and empirical inductive reasoning skills.

The 21st-century skill standards in Indonesia include 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration); ICTs (Information, Media and Technology Skills); Character Building; and Spiritual Value. All 21st-century skills need to be possessed by students as a provision to face all the challenges of life. Therefore, we need a guide who can instill all skills. The purpose of this study was to improve the students' 21st-century skills. The 21st-century skills in this study focused on increasing 4Cs skills. The development model used is Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate (ADDIE Model). Research subjects were 75 eighth-grade students of junior high school. Data collection method used was an experimental method. Data collection used a product assessment questionnaire, an observation rubric of 21st-century skills, and tests. Meanwhile, the product content validity test uses the v Aiken index. The modified Gasik game (Gasik version 2.0) received ratings from the experts on the material aspect of 83.68% and in the media aspect of 87.61%. The value of the content validity v Aiken is 0.82 with a high category so that the Gasik 2.0 game can be stated as very good to be applied to 21st-century learning. The n-gain value between the pretest and posttest values in the experimental class is 0.12, while in the control class is -0.01. The results of the analysis indicate that the use of the Gasik 2.0 game can grow 4Cs skills with low categories.
