Abstract
Development of 21st century skills becomes essential life skills in supporting individuals to adapt well to 21st century life. One of the 21st century skills that needs is critical thinking skills. Development of student skills can be done through learning and appropriate assessments. The application of assessment for learning is an effort that can be done to develop student skills. The feedback provided can help students to plan and improve their learning strategies. However, the application of assessments in the learning process is often not optimal. Therefore, it is necessary to do research on the application of assessment for learning to improve students critical thinking skills. This study uses quasy experiment method with the pretest posttest control group design. Assessment for learning through written feedback is applied to experimental class, while the control class is given of conventional assessment. Indicators of critical thinking skills in this study were developed based on the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. The results showed that the application of assessment for learning through written feedback can improve students critical thinking skills. This is indicated by the experimental class average N-gain value is 0.82 in Pteridophyta and 0,87 in Bryophyta subchapter.

Abstract
Generative and Connecting, Organizing, Reflecting, Extending (CORE) are two sets of learning design that can develop learners- critical thinking skill. The objective of this study was to point out the best model to develop learners- critical thinking skill. For this objective, a quasi-experiment was done in 12 Jakarta Senior High School. Two groups of eleventh grades learners were elected by random sampling method. Generative learning was applied to the first group, while CORE learning was applied to the second group. Learners- critical thinking was regulated by the test which produced based on critical thinking skill indicators. Before starting the program, each group took an initial ability test. The program lasted for four weeks, and four hours each week; and at the end of the program post-test works were taken from the candidates. The hypothesis was tested using independent sample t-test with a probability of significance value of 0.05.The results of the research shown that there was a significant difference between the t-test score points of the experimental groups (P<0.05) namely t-count = 3,092 > t-table = 1,667. The results also showed that the average of learners- critical thinking skill points with generative learning model was higher than the other group. It was observed that this paper previously uncovered a role for (1) Barbara L. Grabowski (2014) that generative learning model can increase critical thinking skill and (2) Robert C. Calfee (2004) that CORE can increase critical thinking skill. This manuscript builds on our prior study to compare both models and focus on the effects on critical thinking skill.

Abstract
This research was encouraged by students low mathematical representation ability with the findings of problems in the three-dimensional material of junior high school and the limited text books which povided by the teachers or students during the teaching and learning process, and the non technology-based teaching such as the developed digital teaching materials. The development of teaching materials which recently caried out is still in the form of conventional teaching namely printed-teaching materials. Whereas, the use of printed teaching materials in the three-dimensional subject is considered to be less to facilitate students geometry visualization ability. One of the solutions that can be carried out to overcome these problems is developing 3-dimensional digital teaching materials based on the ability of mathematical representation in the three dimensions material of junior high school which is valid and practical. This research is a kind of development research by using the ADDIE model namely Analysis, Desain, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. This teaching material was validated and tested for practicality. So, it can be concluded that digital teaching material can be used in the teaching and learning process and it was easy to use by students.

Abstract
Deaf students- hearing problem results in their mastery of language and mathematics lower than hearing students. Learning the topic of rounding is difficult for deaf students because it requires a good understanding of language and a true perception in math concepts, in which are abstract in nature. Learning concepts needs a special strategy for this type of students, as generally mathematics is difficult to be translated and communicated by sign language. This specificity forces them to possess unique behavior in understanding everything through visual power. This paper discusses a study of the creation of a book and smartphone applications as devices based on augmented-reality (AR) software on the topic of rounding accompanied by rich visualization to facilitate deaf students in achieving mathematical basic competencies. This study aims to describe and reveal the validity and the effectiveness of designed devices through their implementation in a classroom. The research and development method with ADDIE model is used in this study consisting of five stages, namely: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The results of this study show that the AR-Book and the AR-Smartphone application are valid used by deaf students and both devices are effective in achieving their mathematical basic competencies.

Abstract
Cases of vehicles theft in the Central Java region occurred 869 cases, the percentage was 57.86% against other crimes. To prevent vehicles theft, the police need public participation by increasing awareness of their vehicles. Vehicle theft can occur due to owner negligence and lack of safety locks on the vehicle. This study aims to create data mining application as monitoring vehicle position. The transmitter WiFi 2.4 GHz placed on a vehicle, then measured the RSSI signal by an android application based on fuzzy logic. Indication of theft is that the vehicle is positioned away from the owner, so the signal RSSI is less than -90 dBm. Fuzzy logic monitors this change in distance. When the membership function is lost, fuzzy logic instruct android to activated the alarm . Fuzzy logic was able to make decision give a alarm to user when RSSI signal less than -90 dBm. RSSI signal is less than -90 dBm when the distance is 20 meters if there is a wall barrier, without obstacle the distance is up to 80 meters. RSSI signal is influenced by the measurement environment.

Abstract
We succeeded in showing experimental evidence to prove Coulomb blockade taking place on Two-dimensional organic conducting polymer films. Electrical conductivity of hexylthiophene monolayer showed temperature-dependent threshold voltage in temperature range of 150K—4K and increased in power law of the current-voltage beyond the threshold. The onset of two-dimensional Coulomb blockade in the organic thin film was theoretically verified through the calculation of the delocalization of electric charge in the molecular film. This system meets the criteria to be a suitable building block for the physical realization of a cellular neural network. We further found a neuromorphic device that consist of extremely dense and random single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) complexed with polyoxometalate molecule generating spontaneous spikes similar to nerve impulses of neurons. A simulation calculation of the random molecular network model, which are able to store electric charges, replicate spikes generated from the network. This molecular model would very likely become a component of reservoir computing that is anticipated as next-generation artificial intelligence. These results indicate the possibility that complex functional networks can be constructed using molecular devices, and contribute to the development of neuromorphic devices.

Abstract
Transition-metal ions with d3 electronic configuration such as Cr3+ and Mn4+ are utilized as emission centers in various luminescent materials such as ruby (Cr3+-doped -Al2O3) or alexandrite (Cr3+-doped chrysoberyl). Since it is difficult to investigate the multiplet energy levels of Cr3+ in a wide variety of oxide crystals experimentally, the theoretical prediction of the energy of the emission level (2Eg) is indispensable for the efficient development of novel Cr3+-doped luminescent materials. In this study, we predicted the multiplet energy of the emission level (2Eg) of Cr3+ in oxides by first-principles calculations based on the discrete variational multi-electron (DVME) method using relatively small clusters consisting of seven atoms. However, the correlation coefficient between the calculated 2Eg energy and the experimental ones was relatively low (0.52). In order to improve the accuracy of the prediction, we also performed a machine learning modeling. By using the calculated 2Eg energy and the other electronic and structural parameters as the attributes, we created the predictive model of the 2Eg energy of Cr3+ in oxides. The predicted 2Eg energies are in good agreement with the experimental ones, showing a high correlation coefficient of 0.92.

Abstract
We introduce SuperAtom, which is called a modern alchemy and has been studied around the world. The SuperAtom is a nanocluster composed of multiple atoms, for example Al13. But very interestingly, the “SuperAtom” can mimic the chemical properties of “atom”, for example, the Al13 exhibits the halogen atom Cl. If this SuperAtom is constructed to an appropriate size and can be synthesized freely, there is the possibility to be placed as an "artificial atom" in a three-dimensional periodic table such as the conventional two-dimensional periodic table. In recent years, the exhaustion of rare metals has become a big problem, so that in the next generation of materials and devices, the SuperAtoms play as an important role, and it is expected to be used for various materials or as a substitute for expensive metal catalysts such as Pt. From these points of view, the SuperAtoms have been studied all over the world up to now, but there is not much studies on their electronic structures. Therefore, in this study, we have analyzed the electronic state of the chalcogen-inclusive type SuperAtom M@Al12 (M = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr) by means of DV-Xα molecular orbital calculation. Our analysis revealed that the electronic configuration of the SuperAtom, which changed only the central atom, depends largely on the kind of doped atom. And we can also confirm the “SuperAtomic hybrid orbital” composed of SuperAtomic orbitals, and chalcogen characteristics.

Abstract
Because of the chiral nature of the building blocks of living matter, an optical phenomena associated with the chirality constitute an important topic in physical chemistry. The specific optical rotation, which is a parameter for the characterization of the natural optical activity, depends strongly on the conformation of the molecule. In this study, we investigated the dependence of the optical rotation on a molecular conformation in the gas phase by calculating the electronic states of seven kind of chiral amino acids using the DV-Xα method. As a result, we can confirm the existence of an antibonding orbital on the side chain and the optical rotations are strongly related.

Abstract
The physical properties of metal complexes that are present in many places are due to the ligand field splitting of the d-orbital of the central metal ion, and the series representing the relationship of the ligand field splitting is called a spectrochemical series. This spectrochemical series represents the relationship of the ligand field splitting in the octahedral hexa-coordination structure, but no equivalent index has been shown in the tetrahedral four-coordination complex. In this study, we have investigated the creation of a novel spectrochemical series in tetrahedral four-coordinated metal complexes. As a result, it is possible to accurately understand the ligand field splitting of the tetrahedral four-coordinated metal complex, and to more effectively apply the energy for obtaining a spin crossover phenomenon in which the magnetic spin state reversibly changes. As a research flow, first, a tetrahedral structural model is created, and then the ligand field splitting is calculated using the DV-Xa method to create a spectrochemical series. As a result, we succeeded in creating a spectrochemical series of tetrahedral metal complexes. It has been found that the spectrochemical series of tetrahedral four-coordination complexes tend to hold as they are in octahedral hexa-coordination complexes to some extent, but there are cases where the series does not hold according to the peculiarity in the case of the four-coordinated metal complex.

Abstract
Metal complex indicates the significant physical properties such as magnetism, electrical conductivity and an optical property due to the electronic interaction between the ligand molecule and the central metal ion. We have evaluated the magnetism of the metal complex by controlling the ligand field splitting, which is the energy splitting of the d-orbitals. The magnetic phenomenon of such compounds are realized as a result of the electronic state based on the transition metal coordination complexes, and which can be switched between high spin (HS) and low spin (LS), that is called a spin-crossover (SCO) phenomenon. Our group have been investigated the way how to control the spin state according to the concept of a distortion. The five-coordinated metal complex ML5 has been experimentally confirmed to be a molecular distortion called the Berry pseudorotation (BPR). In the BPR process, both the axial and equatorial ligands can move at the same rate of increasing the angle between the other axial or equatorial ligands in five-coordinated metal complex. The classical BPR mechanism changes its molecular symmetry between two independent trigonal bipyramidals (TBPs) of D3h symmetry via a square pyramidal (SP) of C4v symmetry. The distortion parameters 5 are proposed in order to represent the distortion of the BPR process quantitatively. In this work, we predicted the possibility of the SCO phenomenon in intramolecular exchange mechanism through the BPR process in a five-coordinated metal complexes.

Abstract
Rare sugar is a monosaccharide that there are trace amounts in nature, natural sugars present in large amounts in nature is referred to as a natural monosaccharide. Recently, the isomerase called D-tagatose-3-epimerase (DTE) was discovered, and it has a possibility to synthesize quantity of the rare sugar from a natural sugar through the enzymatic reaction. And all of hexoses can be synthesized by four kinds of enzymatic reactions (oxidoreductase reaction, aldose isomerase reaction, aldose reductase reaction and DTE reaction). In this study, single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of a sugar alcohol and its derivative have been performed in order to determine the absolute coordinates of these sugar molecules. We give an electronic state calculation by means of the DV-Xα method using the obtained data of the absolute coordinates. We also consider that mechanism of the enzymatic reaction and intermolecular energy properly such as a hydrogen bond in order to synthesize the supramolecular rare sugars (SRSs) which can be controlled their structures and the hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
abstract The participation of the people in democracy era in Indonesia after the Presidential Election was seen to emerge and make noise, but the government did not take precautionary measures quickly. It is related to the 1945 Constitution article 28E paragraph (3) that states, "Everyone has the right to freedom of association, gather, and express opinions ". From the article the essence of the rights of every citizen express their opinions freely and responsibly in their shared lives. The phrase "responsibly" here gives an understanding that this freedom still has limits. With the study of juridical descriptions analyze the development of thinking that develops in the wider community in relation to the objectives of legal regulation. It is the right of every citizen to express their thoughts in writing and verbally freely and responsibly in accordance with the provisions of the applicable legislation. How the role of law enforcement is, without criminalization of law associated with the establishment of Coordinator Ministry of Politics, Law and Security of the State (Menkopolhukam) assistance.

Abstract
The Ministry of Manpower in Indonesia recorded about 89,625 workplace accidents and 1,193 of them have caused deaths in the past five years. In that period, there were also 34,075 companies reported because of alleged criminal acts in the field of occupational safety and 2,074 cases had gone through the police investigation process but there are only 4 cases up to court decisions. During this time the practice of resolving work accident cases that resulted in death was carried out in two ways, namely the court line and the outside court. However, the outputs of the two methods of resolution are not oriented towards legal protection utilities for the recovery of victims and improvement of working conditions so that the incidence of deaths in workplace accidents can be prevented from happening again in the future. Therefore, this paper will analyze the law enforcement regulations relating to occupational safety for workers who are victims of workplace accidents and see the possibility of restorative justice can be applied to settle deaths in workplace accidents in Indonesia. This study uses a sociological juridical approach. The used sources and types of data come from field studies through interview and literature review. The results in this study are that there are no regulations that specifically regulate out-of-court settlement mechanisms for death cases in workplace accidents. Settlement of death cases through the judiciary does not provide recovery for victims and the improvement of unsafe working conditions for workers as a preventative measure, so that the deaths accidents in workplace does not happen again in the future. The conclusion in this study is that restorative justice can be developed as a way of resolving death cases in workplace accidents in Indonesia.

Abstract
In medical society, there are controvery issues that called withholding and withdrawing life support. Withholding life support is delaying the provision of new or advanced life support therapy without stopping ongoing life support therapy, and withdrawing life support is stopping some or all of the life support therapy given to patients . This decision was not only decided based on medical aspects but also related to bioethics and medicolegal aspects. For medical practitioners, withholding and withdrawing life support are hard moral dilemmas to be implemented. From the medical aspect, withholding and withdrawing life support is not the same as euthanasia. There is a strong general consensus that withholding and withdrawing life support is a decision that allows the disease to progress naturally. This is not a decision to let the patient die, while euthanasia actively take patients at the end of their lives. In the bioetic aspect, doctors must respect the autonomy of patients and families in deciding the withholding and withdrawing life support. In medicolegal aspects, laws regarding withholding and withdrawing life support are regulated in the regulation of the Minister of Health No. 37 of 2014 chapter III where it is stated that the patients family can ask the doctor to withholding and withdrawing life support or ask to assess the patients condition to withholding and withdrawing life support. If there is a discrepancy between the familys request and the recommendations of the medical and ethical committee team, where the family continues to ask for a withholding and withdrawing life support, legal responsibility is with the family. Thus, according to what is regulated in the medical, bioethical and medicolegal aspects, doctors and ethical committee team cannot refuse requests to withholding and withdrawing life support.
