Abstract

Noise exposure can occur at any time and interfere with a person's psychological and biological condition. Alternative materials from banana midrib and soybean dregs can be used as sound absorbers based on their characteristics and abundance. This research aims to analyze the optimal composition for sound-absorbing composite materials from banana midrib and soybean dregs and the effect of adding a layer of varnish to its absorption capacity. The method includes the manufacture of the sample, the impedance tube, the box acoustic approach, and the CCD test. The drying process of banana midrib is divided into two types, namely those that are dried in the sun and oven with the banana midrib having gone through a 5% NaOH immersion process before drying. The application of varnish on the sample used the cold spray technique so the layer is not thick and provides durability and resistance to the sample. The impedance tube was carried out to analyze the value of the sound absorption coefficient of the sample at several frequencies which were then averaged. After being tested with the box acoustic approach, the sample has the ability to reduce sound when applied to the walls of the room with an average percentage decrease of 10.84%. Through the CCD test, it is known that the size and number of pores distribution affects the sound absorption capacity. Banana midrib and soybean dregs can be used as an alternative to sound absorbers with the average value meeting the ISO 11654 standard, which is 0.15.

Abstract

Water is an important need in human life which is a natural resource which must be maintained availability. Changes in the land usage and weather can cause changes in the condition of water sources. These changes can affect the availability of water. Currently the river  in Kranji Village, Kedungwuni Timur District, Pekalongan Regency, has decreased in quantity. If efforts to protect and repair the springs are not carried out, it can lead to the lost of water source. To better understand the problem of water availability in Kranji Village, East Kedungwuni District, Pekalongan Regency, it is necessary to conduct research that aims to determine the condition of water availability. The research was conducted by collecting data and information that can be used in the analysis of water availability. The data obtained in the form of secondary data, namely data from BMKG. The data were then be analyzed with the influence of climate change.  The results showed that the rainfall in the Kranji Village area from 2011-2016 experienced fluctuations in regional rainfall. In 2017-2020 the rainfall rate in the region decreased to 91.8 mm. Design rainfall data in the Kranji Village area from 2011-2020 has an average Log X of 1.972.  The amount of surface water has increased to 19% in the 10th year, reached 28.5% in the 15th year and reached 39% in the 20th year which were generated from the 2011-2020 study. Due to climate change, the mainstay flood discharge from runoff is estimated to decrease drastically, as well as rainwater that will seep into groundwater.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the pattern of problem formulation skills and hypothesize students of class XI MIPA at SMAN 2 Grabag and SMA Islam Sudirman Pakis. The research design is qualitative research. The technique used in the data collection was an interview technique with 20 students and two physics teachers, as well as documentation during the research. Before the interview, the students observed 3 physical phenomena, namely (1) phenomenon 1 regarding the effect of oxygen on the flame of a candle, (2) phenomenon 2 regarding water surface pressure on razor blades and needles, (3) phenomenon 3 regarding eggs that put in various solutions with different density. The data analysis technique was qualitative analysis. Based on the research, all students were able to formulate problems according to the video of the observed phenomena, and based on the problem formulation proposed by the students found that there are three patterns of problem formulation in phenomenon 1, two patterns of problem formulation in phenomenon 2, and three patterns of problem formulation in phenomenon 3, with all problem formulation patterns proposed by students being problem formulations that correspond to each previously observed phenomenon. This shows that all students have good problem formulation skills, it can be seen that students can identify problems in each video phenomenon and ask them in the form of questions. The results showed 2 question words, those are "why" as much as 77% and the question word "what" as much as 23%. Students who formulate problems using the question word "why" can be categorized at the formal operational stage and students who formulate problems using the question word "what" can be categorized at the concrete operational stage. This difference in students' cognitive development can be a guide for teachers to use a student-focused learning model.
