Abstract

This study explores the effect of PBL-STEM on students' systems thinking skills in global warming topics. This research is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design. This study was conducted in one of the public high schools in South Tangerang. The participants involved were 72 students. In the experimental class, students learned with PBL-STEM, and the control group used conventional learning. The system thinking instrument was developed using 24 tested multiple-choice questions with a reliability of 0.83. The results showed that PBL-STEM significantly affected students' systems thinking skills (p < 0.05). The experimental class students' systems thinking was higher than the control class' systems thinking. Furthermore, systems thinking skills in the experimental class increased, but the highest value was at level 1 with the essential difficulty; in the control class levels 1 and 2, there was a more significant increase. This study can be continued for future research investigating the effect of PBL STEM on systems thinking skills in different contexts.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe how the profile of lecture needs related to content in quantum physics at the UNTIRTA Physics Education Study Program. The methods used in this field study are: 1) paper, in the form of curriculum documents, national curriculum and RPS; 2) person, lecturer in quantum physics; 3) the place is located in the Department of Physics FMIPA UNTIRTA. Data collection techniques in field study activities are carried out using non-test instruments carried out through document analysis, questionnaires, interviews and tests.  The results of the analysis show that the curriculum of the Quantum Physics Study Program (compulsory) in semester V has not been well developed and is not specifically designed to consider students' deep conceptual understanding, the assessment system has not been able to appropriately follow the 21st century learning system, and learning has not been student-centered. Therefore, an analysis is needed based on the needs of a more in-depth study program to determine the topic of study materials in the Quantum Physics course if it is to be applied in the curriculum.

Abstract

The study addresses the challenges often associated with the abstract nature and mathematical complexity of physics, particularly in relation to the concept of magnetic fields. To facilitate visual learning, the study aims to assess the efficacy of a teaching aid centered around a toroid, the researcher developed using Arduino Uno and Hall effect sensors. The research employs a quantitative one-group pretest-posttest design, measuring outcomes through test scores and student questionnaires. The N-Gain test indicates a moderate increase in student understanding concept. The results of the analysis of student responses through questionnaires had shown that students had found it easier to understand the magnetic field material when using Arduino-based magnetic field teaching aids, and the learning media used had made it easier for students to remember the magnetic field material. The findings support the effectiveness of the Arduino Uno-based digital magnetic field teaching aid in improving students' understanding of toroidal magnetic fields.

Abstract

Tin Sulfide (SnS) thin films were fabricated using vacuum evaporation techniques under a pressure of approximately 2×10⁻⁵ mbar. Cleaned microscope glass substrates were utilized, with a substrate temperature maintained at 300 K. The deposition of the SnS thin films was conducted by placing spacers between the substrate and the source at distances of 10 cm, 15 cm, and 25 cm. The study of SnS thin films included X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive analysis X-ray (EDX). The XRD patterns of the SnS thin films revealed good crystallization and confirmed the presence of an orthorhombic crystal structure with lattice parameters for sample 1 (10 cm spacer): a = 4.308 Å, b = 11.142 Å, c = 4.132 Å; sample 2 (15 cm spacer): a = 4.305 Å, b = 11.101 Å, c = 4.217 Å; and sample 3 (25 cm spacer): a = 4.081 Å, b = 11.135 Å, c = 4.292 Å. The preferred orientation was along the (0 4 0) planes for all films. Lattice parameters, grain size, and microstrain in the films were calculated from XRD patterns and correlated with the substrate spacer. Grain size distributions were derived from SEM micrographs, revealing a grain size of approximately 0.5 μm. EDX analysis indicated the chemical composition of the sample, with elements Sn = 37.86% and S = 13.58%.

Abstract

Indonesia has a geothermal potential of 24 Gigawatts (GW), making Indonesia the second largest country with geothermal potential. High investment costs are still a challenge in the development of geothermal energy, where the cost of drilling geothermal wells is the most expensive with a cost of more than 50% of the total project cost. One solution to this problem is retrofitting abandoned wells with a closed loop well system (double pipe heat exchanger). Reusing abandoned wells to extract heat energy only costs about a third of the cost of making a new geothermal well. However, the low heat transfer value of this system makes it rarely applied as a power plant. Therefore, the thesis research analyzes the effect of adding CuO nanoparticles in the base fluid (water) of a double pipe well as a solution to improve heat transfer performance. The effect of nanoparticles on closed loop wells is modeled using a CFD simulation approach. The results of the CFD simulation will be used as input in calculating the performance of the Organic Rankine Cycle system which is used to determine the potential for electricity generation. Based on the calculation results, it was obtained that CuO nanoparticles with a concentration of 4%wt had the greatest heat transfer among other nanoparticle variations and this was in line with the power output produced, which was 2045 kW.

Abstract

Pre-service physics teachers must have Scientific Inquiry Literacy (SIL) to prepare to teach physics. This research aims to describe the SIL profile of Pre-service physics teachers using the Rasch model. The mixed method with Convergent Parallel Design was chosen for this research. The mean value of the knowledge aspect is 6.1 (the top score is 35). Person measures -1.96, person separation 0.45, and person reliability 0.17. This condition shows that the consistency of the answers is still low, and the ability is low. The mean value, person measure, and separation of the skill aspect are 10.8 (the top score is 39), -1.10, and 0.00. This condition shows low ability and low diversity. The mean value for the attitude aspect is 79.5 (the top score is 108). Person size, separation, and reliability are 1.33, 2.01, and 0.8. This condition indicates a high ease of agreement on items with a wide variety and a good consistency of answers. The interviews and lesson plan analysis results show that pre-service physics teachers have yet to become accustomed to applying scientific inquiry in learning. Thus, the SIL in the knowledge and skills aspects of and the ability to design inquiry teaching still needs to be improved.

Abstract

CoFe2O4/PEG and MnFe2O4/PEG materials have been successfully prepared using the coprecipitation method with a synthesis temperature of 90 °C. Doxorubicin (DOX) was successfully loaded and released in both samples. Based on the XRD results, the crystal structure of CoFe2O4/PEG is cubic spinel while the structure of MnFe2O4/PEG is hematite with the lattice parameters for CoFe2O4/PEG and MnFe2O4/PEG is 8.40 nm and 8.41 nm, respectively. Based on the SEM results, the morphology of the two samples is quite homogenous and the particle size of CoFe2O4/PEG is smaller than MnFe2O4/PEG’s. There is a vibrational spectrum of Fe – O  in both samples at wave numbers of 600 - 690 cm-1. Based on VSM characterization, CoFe2O4/PEG is included in hard magnetic materials with a saturation magnetization of 54.85 emu/g and coercivity of 788 Oe. Meanwhile, MnFe2O4/PEG is classified as soft magnetic materials with lower saturation magnetization of 11 emu/g and coercivity of 7.42. In addition, based on the UV-Vis characterization obtained the efficiency of drug loading of CoFe2O4/PEG is higher (98.8 %) than the MnFe2O4/PEG sample (96.3 %). It is the opposite for the drug release percentage that CoFe2O4/PEG has 30.6 % which is lower than the MnFe2O4/PEG (51.6 %).

Abstract

Indonesia has a reasonably large area with a high level of weather and climate diversity, causing various parts of the region to experience rain with different characteristics, one of which is influenced by the topography of the area so that it is not possible to use just one rain gauge to describe the rain in a region. Therefore, it requires the average rainfall from several nearby rain measurement stations or posts. This research aims to describe the influence of regional topography on the distribution of rainfall in Serang City using the Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation method by varying the power value and processing and analyzing using the Geographic Information System (GIS). The research method used is non-experimental quantitative with spatial reclassification analysis. The data used is secondary data collected from previously existing data. The results of the research show that in areas that are at low altitudes and have gentle slopes, the average rainfall will be low, namely 1414.91 mm/year, and vice versa; if areas are at high altitudes and have steep slopes, the average rainfall is The rainfall will be high namely 1644.6 mm/year.
