Abstract

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a relatively safer technology for killing cancer cells, one of which is the Glioblastoma multiforme. One of the main components of the BNCT equipment is the collimator which functions as an exit point for epithermal neutron particles that hit cancer cells. In addition to the experimental method, BNCT research can be carried out by modeling, including using the MCNPX software based on the Monte Carlo Method. This research aimed to determine the flux distribution of fast and epithermal neutrons and the dose rate of fast neutrons and gamma that hit the target cancer cells in the phantom head of ORNL MIRD. Modeling using the MCNPX software has three main parts: cell cards, surface cards, and data cards. A tally is used on the data card to calculate the neutron flux. Based on the calculation of the modeling results, the flux of epithermal neutron is 2.87 x 109 n/cm2.s. The dose ratio of the epithermal to the fast neutron flux is 2.29 x 10-14 Gy.cm2/n. Then, the balance of the dose rate of the epithermal to the gamma is 1.64 x 10-14 Gy.cm2/n, and the ratio of epithermal to thermal neutron flux is 0.004. In this study, the epithermal neutron flux hitting the target cancer cells in cell target was moderated at 4 cm so that at a depth of 8 cm, the energy was converted into thermal neutrons. Based on the analysis of the results, it can be concluded that the neutron flux that will interact with cancer tissue is thermal neutrons, not epithermal neutron flux.

Abstract

This study aims to find out class VII students’ profiles of Pancasila abilities of MTs SA Miftahul Huda Bumijawa. The dimensions of the meticulous Pancasila student profiles include four dimensions, namely critical reasoning, creativity, mutual cooperation, and independence. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive. Data collection instrument were observation and interview guidelines. Based on research data, the results showed that the ability of students to the Pancasila student profiles were still very low. 70% of students were in category of very low and another 30% were in category of low on the critical reasoning dimension. 57% of the students were in category of very low and another 43% were in category of low on the independent dimension. Overall students where in category of very low on the dimensions creative and mutual cooperation dimensions. It indicates that the applied learning media and learning models have not been able to strengthen Pancasila student profiles. The Integrated Science learning process still uses conventional methods and rarely does practicum or projects. The media used is still limited to textual. One of the potential solutions in order to strengthen the Pancasila student profiles are to develop an e-module based PjBL.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a cognitive ability test instrument based on Bloom's taxonomy revision. The test instrument covers the cognitive domains C1 (remembering), C2 (understanding), C3 (applying), C4 (analyzing), C5 (evaluating), and C6 (creating). The research was carried out using research and development methods using a 4-D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The research data obtained is analyzed quantitatively to determine the validity, discriminatory power, reliability, and level of difficulty of the cognitive ability test instrument. Results of research based on the analysis of the validity test showed that the test instrument was declared valid by material experts and evaluation experts with an average value of 92.65. Based on the analysis of the validity of the item validity test, there are two invalid questions, namely questions number 2 and 10. Based on the results of analyzing differentiating power, the results of question number 20 are obtained, 64 for essay questions. Based on the analysis of the level of difficulty, the results showed that the test instrument was at 5% percent of the questions at the difficulty level, 20% at the sufficient level, 70% at the medium level, and 5% at the easy level. Overall, the test instrument is valid, reliable, has good discriminating power, and has varying levels of difficulty.

Abstract

The development of education needs to adapt to the needs of 21st century skills, including collaboration and problem solving. This study aims to analyze and describe the profile of Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) online learning, as well as to describe the problem solving skills after learning. This research was conducted at SMA N 1 Gubug in class XI MIPA 1 for the academic year 2021/2022 with a qualitative descriptive method. CPS online learning is divided into virtual meetings using Microsoft Teams and discussions via text messages in WhatsApp. The research data was obtained through data observation’s, interviews, and written posttests. Data processing using a fixed comparison method with three stages, namely; data reduction, categorization, synthesis, and determination of hypotheses. The results showed that the role of the teacher appeared with almost the same frequency, namely as a motivator (37%), communicator (32%) and facilitator (31%). Students' problem-solving skills are dominated by the ability to plan and identify problems with the frequency of occurrence of 35% and 31%, respectively. The next two stages of problem solving, namely implementing the plan and checking back only appeared with a percentage of 19% and 15%.

Abstract

Weather is a very important factor in supporting various human activities. However, weather is a natural event that keeps on changing due to various air conditions that affect it. One way to anticipate weather changes that may occur early is to create a system that can predict weather changes. Fuzzy logic is one of the methods that can be used in system prediction to find out the cause at a certain time and place. In this system, two fuzzy logic methods were used, they are the Mamdani and Sugeno methods, with three supporting criteria, including air temperature, humidity, and air pressure. In this research, data levers were carried out in June 2022 and resulted in a percentage accuracy of 73.34% for the Mamdani method and 70% for the Sugeno method.

Abstract

The purpose of this research  was to examine the value of the Wien’s constant using PhET Simulation virtual laboratory and simple numerical approach. The independent and dependent variable is blackbody temperature (T) and maximum wavelength (λ_max). In the use of a virtual laboratory, research is carried out by shifting the black body temperature feature so  the graph will display a spectral power density that varies to the wavelenght. Numerical approach was used in this research is Newton Raphson methods by Python program. Both of simulation and numerical approach yield the value of the maximum wavelength (λ_max) for a black body temperature variation. The black body temperatures and their appropriate maximum wavelength data then analyzed using linear regression. Final result show that value Wien’s constant using PhET is 2,93 × 10-3 mK with relative error obtained is 1,07 % while using Newton Raphson the Wien’s constant value obtained is 3,07 × 10-3 mK with relative error is 5,90 %. The two approachs carried out produce data that slightly different, but still in a very good accucracy range when compared with theory. So, PhET Simulation and Newton Raphson methods effective to examine the value of the Wien’s constant.
