Pemanfaatan Limbah Serbuk Kayu dengan Zat Aditif Anti Stripping Agent Terhadap Uji Durabilitas AC-WC (Asphalt Concrete–Wearing Course)

The increasing number of vehicles each year in Indonesia causes excessive repetition of loads that occur on road pavements, as well as extreme weather changes resulting in damage to the pavement layer, especially at the level of durability, especially in the AC-WC layer. The use of sawdust waste in the AC-WC mixture has met the marshall test values/characteristics, but it is necessary to test its durability; a high durability value indicates that the road is more durable and resistant to weather and water. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality of road pavement by adding anti-stripping agent additives at levels of 0.3%, 0.4%, and 0.5% to the AC-WC mixture of 25% wood powder waste substitution in order to improve the properties of asphalt in increasing the coating of asphalt with aggregates in a wet state to produce stronger bonds to extend the life of the road. This study aims to determine the effect of adding anti-stripping agent additives in AC-WC mixtures with sawdust waste on durability tests. Experimental tests were conducted using the research method at the Civil Engineering Laboratory of Diponegoro University Vocational School Semarang. The study results obtained a durability value based on the calculation parameters of the Residual Strength Index (IKS) based on the General Specifications of Bina Marga 2018 (Rev 2), which shows the durability of AC-WC asphalt. The results of marshall testing obtained based on averages include VIM 4.11%, VMA 13.15%, VFA 77.33%, Stability 1893.73 Kg, Flow 2.17 mm and MQ 1070.03 kg/mm from 25% wood powder waste variation with anti-stripping agent additives 0.3%; 0.4%; 0.5% in AC-WC wear layer has met the General Specifications of Bina Marga 2018 (Rev 2). The average durability values of IKS with sequential soaking time are 24 hours 92.24%, 48 hours 88.87%, and 72 hours 80.08%.

Improving Bodily Kinesthetic Competence Through Simple Bowling Game to Kindergarten Chlidren of Jungle School Semarang in the Academic Year 2023/2024

This research was conducted to explain the application of simple bowling game to improve bodily kinesthetic competence to the kindergarten children of Jungle School Semarang in academic year of 2023/2024 and to find out the result of conducting simple bowling game to improve children’ bodily kinesthetic competence. This classroom action research applied 2 cycles. In each cycle consisted of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Subject of this research was the children of Jungle School kindergarten Semarang which consisted of 15 children. The researcher got data collection through observation and documentation. The result of this research found in before cycle that only three children or 20% who passed standard criteria of BSH (expected progress). On the other hand, there were 12 children or 80% in criteria of MB (starting on progress). In the first cycle, there was improvement in each meeting. Children with the criteria of BSH was 7 children (46,7%). Based on the result so can be inferred that in the cycle I has not passed the passing grade of research indicator, so the researcher moved on to the cycle II. The result on cycle II showed that one child (6.6%) passed the indicator standard of BSB (well progress). In addition, there were about 12 children (80%) passed the criteria of BSH (expected progress). Then only 2 children (13,4%) who did not pass the criteria or they were in the criteria of MB (starting on progress). Based on the result on the cycle II, it showed that 80 % of children have passed the passing grade criteria, so the research did not continue to the next cycle.

A Comparative Analysis of Theme and Thematic Progression in Descriptive Texts

<p><strong>This study aims to analyze the theme and thematic progression and compare both student’s and standardized descriptive texts. Additionally, the research would delve into the pedagogical implication in teaching a descriptive text. A text from a student of a senior high school in Semarang, Indonesia and a TOEFL Practice text were collected in the document analysis. Thematic analysis was done by applying SFL principles. The result showed that both texts employed textual and topical theme system mostly with model’s text using an interpersonal theme once. the student’s descriptive text had few missing themes which also indicated that it had grammatical mistakes that need to be given attention when teaching language to learners. Both texts served the thematic progression of zig-zag and reiteration as descriptive text aims to describe and identify an object. Although, the student had chosen few multiple patterns and seldom had no pattern in the text. Furthermore, the integration of thematic system studies and thematic development towards a descriptive text through modeling and construction activities can contribute greatly to providing substantial learning benefits to promote language proficiency and efficient communication skills.</strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong> - <em>Theme progression; SFL; Descriptive text; ELT</em>.</p>
