Purpose of the study: This study aims to find the stability of changes in string deflection and the angle of string deflection when an object is launched along a flying fox. Methodology:This study uses a model developed by Kusumastuti et al. (2017). There are two models analyzed, namely the discrete model of the string deviation y(t) and the angle of the string deviation θ(t). The analysis steps include model reduction, model discretization, model linearization, fixed point search, and stability analysis. Stability is analyzed based on the eigenvalues it has. Main Findings:Based on the research conducted, the following eigenvalues were obtained: λ1 = -0.005h + (0.14565h)i, λ2 = -0.005h - (0.14565h)i, λ3 = -0.005h + (0.1331480769h)i, and λ4 = -0.005h - (0.1331480769h)i. The results of the study indicate that the system is in a stable condition (sink) because all eigenvalues obtained are complex numbers with negative real parts. Thus, it can be concluded that the rope deflection, rope deflection velocity, rope deflection angle, and rope deflection angular velocity are in a stable condition. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides a new contribution to the understanding of discrete system dynamics in flying fox string vibrations, by showing that the stability of the system can be analyzed through the negative complex eigenvalues generated from the model.

Purpose of the StudyThis study aims to modify the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method based on the contra harmonic mean. The research discusses the theoretical modification of the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. MethodologyThe research was conducted using a literature study method. The study begins by introducing the general form of the Runge-Kutta method up to the nth order. This general form is then specialized to the fourth order. Additionally, the concept of the contra harmonic mean is introduced. After obtaining the general form of the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method and the contra harmonic mean, these two general forms are modified to derive a new formula. Main FindingsBased on the results, the modified fourth-order Runge-Kutta method has the following equation form:yi+1 = yi + (h/4) * [(k1^2 + k2^2) / (k1 + k2) + 2 * (k2^2 + k3^2) / (k2 + k3) + (k3^2 + k4^2) / (k3 + k4)],with an error of order O(h^5). Numerical simulations demonstrate that the modified method provides better results compared to the original fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. Novelty/Originality of this StudyThe numerical simulations using the RKKCM method show improved accuracy compared to the unmodified fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, highlighting the innovation and contribution of this study.

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in the size of the venturimeter neck on the velocity coefficient and pressure drop using a numerical simulation method. Methodology: The method used in this study is numerical simulation using SolidWorks 2014 software. The simulated venturimeter model has a neck length variation of 20 mm and 30 mm, with a throat diameter of 10 mm. The fluid used is water with a temperature of 25°C, and the simulation is carried out in the Reynolds number (Re) range of 1000 to 5000. Main Findings: The results of the study showed that the greater the velocity of the incoming fluid, the Reynolds number, flow rate, and pressure drop also increased. In addition, the difference in the length of the venturimeter neck affects the pressure drop, where the venturimeter with a longer neck experiences a greater pressure drop due to the longer duration of the fluid flow. The resulting velocity coefficient is also influenced by the velocity of the incoming fluid, where the higher the velocity, the greater the flow rate value. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty in this research lies in the numerical approach in analyzing the relationship between the venturimeter neck size and the velocity coefficient and pressure drop. This approach allows faster and more efficient calculations compared to conventional experimental methods, thus contributing to the development of more accurate and applicable fluid flow measurement techniques.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of critical thinking skills on students' mathematical problem solving based on the TIMSS framework. Methodology: This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational survey design. The population of the study was junior high school students with a sample of 200 students selected by random sampling. Data collection used the Critical Thinking Ability Test and the Mathematics Problem Solving Test based on TIMSS. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation tests, and simple linear regression using SPSS. Validity tests used content and construction tests, and reliability was tested with Cronbach's Alpha (0.745). Main Findings: The results of this study indicate a significant positive relationship between students' critical thinking skills and mathematical problem solving. The average score of critical thinking skills and mathematical problem solving is in the moderate category. The evaluation indicator has the highest score, while inference and synthesis have the lowest scores. The results of the Pearson correlation test showed a moderate relationship (r = 0.550), and the simple linear regression test showed that critical thinking skills significantly affect mathematical problem solving (R² = 0.303, p < 0.05). Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a fresh perspective by examining students’ critical thinking skills within the context of mathematical problem-solving using the TIMSS framework. The results enhance existing literature by demonstrating a strong link between critical thinking and effective problem-solving.
