Abstract

Modification of conventional radiography systems into a digital radiography system was conducted at the Laboratory of Physics Unnes. The image quality of digital radiography system that was developed in the Laboratory of Medical Physics Unnes need to be tested. The computed radiography (CR) system owned by Diponegoro National Hospital was chosen as a comparison with contrass to noise ratio (CNR) methode. Radiograph image generated by both radiography system then analyzed by software based on MATLAB. This study uses a copper plate phantom exposed to X-rays with a variation of anode-cathode voltage of 50 kV, 60 kV, 70 kV and 80 kV. For each voltage to vary the electrical current and expotion time of 1.6 mAs, 2.0 mAs, mAs 4.0, 8 mAs, 16 mAs and 32 mAs. Comparison of CNR for both systems to variations of tube voltage (kV) have a fixed value for the current and expotion time 4 mAs. Comparison of CNR for both systems to variations in current and ekspotion time (mAs) selected tube voltage 70kV.

Abstract

This research was conducted to verify the effect of the color of the object's surface on the absorption of solar radiation. The purpose of this study was to determine how the effect of surface color on the absorption of solar radiation. The activity used an acrylic box covered by stickers of various colors, placed under the sun, then measured the heat absorption of the covered liquid using a digital thermometer. The results showed that there was an effect of the color of the object's surface on the absorption of solar radiation which was indicated by the difference in the temperature increase of the covered liquid. The hypothesis can be accepted at the 95% confidence level. The order surface color of objects on the absorption level of solar heat is black, green, red, purple, yellow, pink, blue and white from the highest to the lowest.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

The development of technology needed humans that qualified and high in order thinking. Hyphotetical deductive thinking is one of high order thinking. It is appeared on students of senior high school in Tambakboyo by their scientific research. Result of observation physics teacher’s RPP still used to talkative methode. Understanding abstract concepts need laboratory activity to formed thinking student. This study aims to know correlation between hyphotetical deductive thinking and concepts understanding, profile of thinking and concept understanding. The subjects was selected using saturated sampling. Design of study using sequential explanatory. There is positive correlation between hyphotetical deductive thinking and concept understanding. Correlation category on XI IPA is medium and strong. Correlation both of them was influenced by another factors like the difficulty of students and trouble in lack of time when do hyphotetical deductive test and direct current resistive electrical circuits test is easy because this subject was learned in X class. Profiles thinking in XI IPA is dominant on transition and hyphotetical deductive thinking. Profiles  of concepts understanding by XI IPA on good and good enough category.

Abstract

Problem solving is important for learning physics at any level which involves the process of analysing, interpreting, reasoning, predicting, evaluating and reflecting. However, researches about problem-solving strategies or techniques based on students’ personality have not been widely practiced. This strategy is important to be studied based on thoughts, characters and actions of students. Therefore, the aims of the research are to connect students problem solving of physics based on their personality and identify students problem solving pattern based on their personality according to The Four Temperament Theory of Keirsey (1998). The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative research with the type of Investigation of Lived Experience that explores inner experiences (Gall et al, 2003). Subjects in this study are 12th grade students of science class program of MAN 1 Banyumas which is determined by stratified sampling approach. They were divided into homogeneous groups. The grouping is based on Keirsey's four personality types: Idealist, Artisan, Guardian and Rational. Each personality type, selected nine students as research subjects are determined using purposive sampling technique. The results showed that the strategy of physics problem solving of Idealist type was conceptual problem solving, Artisan type used intuitive-analogic for solving the problem, Guardian type used intuitive for solving the problem, and Rational type used analogic strategy for solving the problem.

Abstract

Good physics teaching materials are teaching materials that present physics concepts that can be understood by students easily and can attract students to read and study physics. However, its implementation is currently not running perfectly. The Q-SETS-based physics teaching materials containing characters are expected to be a solution to encourage students' interest in learning physics, given that interest in learning is an important factor in achieving the success of education. This study intends to analyze the increase in students' interest in learning after using these teaching materials. The method used in this study is an experimental method with students of class X RPL 2 and X MM 3 SMK Negeri 8 Semarang as research subjects. The results of the students' interest in learning before and after being given the Q-SETS-based physics teaching materials containing the characters were 70.08% and 80.51%, respectively. Then, there was a medium category containing an increase in learning interest with an N-gain of 0.35.
