Abstract

Critical thinking is the ability to solve problems through an investigation so as to produce conclusions or rational decisions. This study aimed to obtain an improvement of critical thinking skills of students in Grade XI at SMAN 3 Palu after the implementation of the guided inquiry learning model on Colloid Systems. This study was a pre-experiment with one group pretest-posttest design. The sample was run by simple random sampling with the sample of Class XI Science 1 as the replication class 1 (n = 36) and Class XI Science 3 as the replication class 2 (n = 35). Data on students' critical thinking was taken using tests that were given before and after learning. An improvement in students' critical thinking skills in replication class 1 and replication class 2 was by 50%. Data of students' critical thinking skills were tested using non-parametric statistical analysis, namely the Mann-Whitney test. The test results obtained the Zh value -0.076, so -1.96 ≤ -0.076 ≤ +1.96. This result is in the reception area of Ho, and H1 is rejected. It means that the average score of critical thinking ability of students in the replication class 1 is the same as in replication class 2. This study concluded that the implementation of the guided inquiry learning model on Colloid Systems improves the critical thinking skills of students in Grade XI at SMAN 3 Palu.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the conceptual changes of students after participating in learning with a blended learning approach on Thermodynamics material. This research is a type of pre-experimental (pre-experimental design) with a One Group Pretest-Postest Design. The blended learning approach is applied using the Problem Based Learning model. The research sample was Class C Odd Semester 2019/2020 students which consisted of 34 students who programmed Physical Chemistry courses. The instrument used is a two-tier multiple choice test which includes concepts in Thermodynamics material which is equipped with a valid CRI. The blended learning approach is one approach that can be used that facilitates student activities in utilizing ICT through the delivery of materials, discussion of task completion, and training in the search for teaching materials on Thermodynamics material. The results showed that misconceptions still occur in every concept of Thermodynamics. The average reduction of misconceptions (MC) is 11.2%, the increase in the number of students to knowing concept (KC) classically is 19.2%, and the decrease in the number of students unknowing concept (UKC) is classically 8.1%. Students' conceptual changes to the material of Thermodynamics are still low. Students are required to understand well the content of the material related to basic concepts, mathematical equations (formulas), and the applicative forms of concepts in everyday life in accordance with the characteristics of the thermodynamic material.

Abstract

An extraction method based on a combination of hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction with high-performance liquid chromatography diode array detector (HF-LPME HPLC-DAD) has been developed and demonstrated to analyze pesticide residues in vegetables. This study aims to determine the optimum extraction conditions and validation performance of this method. Diazinon pesticide was selected as the target model analyte. HF-LPME is performed by stacking microliter organic solvent droplets through an HPLC syringe coated with polypropylene hollow fiber by directly dipping it into the sample solution and stirring it during the extraction process. Finally, the organic solvent was put into an HPLC syringe at the end of the extraction. Then, it was injected into the HPLC-DAD at the wavelength of 247 nm. Several important extraction parameters have been optimized. The optimization results showed the type of organic solvent of n-hexane, the length of the hollow fiber of 1.5 cm, the volume of the sample solution of 20 mL, and the stirring speed of 600 rpm. The validation performance obtained a limit of detection (LoD) of 0.10 mgL-1, limit of quantification (LoQ) of 0.33 mgL-1, percent recoveries of 99.88%, a coefficient of variation of 3% (n=15), and the enrichment factor of 19,982 times. Under optimal conditions, the developed method was applied to extract diazinon in vegetable matrix samples using the spiking method. Mustard green was selected as a model matrix sample. From the research, the percentage recoveries of diazinon obtained in the mustard green matrix sample are 98.80% - 100.41%.

Abstract

The flavonoid content in wungu (Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griff.) leaves has the potential as a sunscreen. The study aims to identify isolates of flavonoid compounds from wungu leaves and determine the SPF value. Steps are followed by extraction, fractionation, phytochemical test, separation by chromatography, identification, and SPF test. Extraction was carried out with methanol, followed by fractionation with n-hexane and dichloromethane. Dichloromethane fraction was chosen to proceed to the separation step because the results of the phytochemical test showed a vigorous color intensity for the content of flavonoids. The isolate (3.6 mg; dark green; amorphous; mp. 132-136 °C) was identified using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer using methanol as a solvent with a shift reagent NaOH, AlCl3, and a mixture of concentrated AlCl3 and HCl. Based on the UV-Vis spectra, the isolate was predicted to be flavonoid compounds belonging to the catechin group, which have a hydroxyl group at positions C-3, C-7, and do not have an ortho-hydroxy group in ring B. The SPF value of the isolate of 2.3244 at 100 ppm was determined in vitro and calculated by the Qian equation. Therefore, isolate was categorized as sunscreens that provided minimal protection

Abstract

This study discusses the implementation of redox reactions on the thickness test of the galvanized (zinc-coated) layer using the JIS-H-0401 standard to help Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) industries. Some of the finished products go through the galvanizing process in the metal processing industry. Quality constraints, especially related to the thickness of the galvanic (zinc-coated) layer, have become an object that is less controlled because of the limitations of the test equipment used. This research uses an experimental method applied to one of its products: a flat washer with SPCC material and a thickness of about 2.20 mm. SPCC - SD material is classified as low carbon steel based on its carbon content. 5-unit flat washers were identified with sample codes A, B, C, D, and E. Flat washers have an internal diameter of 22.65 - 22.7 mm. In comparison, the outer diameter is between 43.75 - 43.80. The redox reaction process uses HCl (hydrochloric acid) with a concentration of 1 M, which is diluted with water (H2O). The zinc thickness test results show that the flat washer has an average thickness of 10.52 microns with a minimum and maximum thickness variation of 10.66 -10.72 microns.

Abstract

Rare earth metals (REM) are scarce elements and are only found in the form of complex compounds of phosphate and carbonate. REM consists of 17 elements classified into light REM, medium REM, and heavy REM. This article is focused on lightweight REM, which is widely applied in various industrial fields. Many REM applications are increasing the demand for high-purity and bulk REMs. However, REM has almost the same physical and chemical properties, making it difficult to separate. Therefore, the separation of REM is interesting to study with various methods, one of which is Emulsion Liquid Membrane (ELM). ELM is developing a solvent extraction method involving three phases: the external phase, the internal phase, and the membrane phase. The key to the success of ELM lies in the stability of the emulsion, which is very dependent on the type and concentration of surfactants, so in the ELM process, it is necessary to choose the right concentration and type of surfactant. Therefore, this article was made to know the effect of surfactants such as span-80, span-85, and T154 in separating light REM using the ELM method.
