Gamifikasi sebagai Metode untuk Mendapatkan Customer Loyalty: Review Literatur

Customer loyalty merupakan salah satu hal penting dibidang bisnis. Hal tersebut dikarenakan customer loyalty dapat memberikan tambahan pendapatan bagi sektor bisnis. Customer loyalty diterapkan tidak hanya pada bisnis retail saja, tetapi banyak sektor bisnis lainnya yang menerapkannya. Customer loyalty memiliki beberapa variabel dan faktor yang dapat mempengaruhinya. Hal tersebut antara lain adalah engagament, satisfaction dan brand. Ketiga faktor tersebut dapat dihasilkan dari penerapan gamifikasi. Oleh karena itu, dalam penelitian ini akan dijelaskan mengenai gamifikasi yang dapat mempengaruhi customer loyalty. Pada penelitian ini juga akan dibahas elemen game apa yang sesuai dengan konteks ini, bagaimana cara penerapannya dan apa dampak yang akan dihasilkannya. Hasil dari penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat beberapa elemen gamifikasi yang dapat diterapkan. Ditunjukkan pula implementasi gamifikasi yang cocok untuk permasalahan ini.Customer loyalty is one of the important things in the business area. This is because customer loyalty can provide additional revenue for the business sector. Customer loyalty is applied not only to the retail business, but many other business sectors that implement it. Customer loyalty has several variables and factors that can influence it. These include engagament, satisfaction and brand. These three factors can be generated from the application of gamification. Therefore, in this study we will explain about gamification that can affect customer loyalty. In this study, the elements of the game will be discussed in accordance with this context, how to implement them and what impacts they will produce. The results of this study conclude that there are several gamification elements that can be applied. Also demonstrated the implementation of gamification that is suitable for this problem

Three Dimensional Printing of Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt Using a Cobalt Oxide Precursor

Tungsten Carbide 10 wt% Cobalt parts were formed by Slurry-based Three Dimensional Printing (3DPTM). The slurry contained a mixture of Tungsten Carbide and Cobalt Oxide powders, as well as dispersing and redispersing agents. The cobalt oxide is fully reduced to cobalt metal during the early stages of the sintering process. A new binder system, polyethylenimine, is described for use with powders with acidic surfaces, such as WC. Sintered densities approach the theoretical values for WC-10% Co, and the microstructures produced are similar to those of conventionally processed (press and sinter) materials. Up to four parts were produced in a single print run using a layer thickness of 25 Pm, with good dimensional agreement between them, and within the range of target dimensions after sintering.Mechanical Engineerin

Flat bands in twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides

The crystal structure of a material creates a periodic potential that electrons move through giving rise to the electronic band structure of the material. When two-dimensional materials are stacked, the twist angle between the layers becomes an additional degree freedom for the resulting heterostructure. As this angle changes, the electronic band structure is modified leading to the possibility of flat bands with localized states and enhanced electronic correlations. In transition metal dichalcogenides, flat bands have been theoretically predicted to occur for long moir\'e wavelengths over a range of twist angles around 0 and 60 degrees giving much wider versatility than magic angle twisted bilayer graphene. Here we show the existence of a flat band in the electronic structure of 3{\deg} and 57.5{\deg} twisted bilayer WSe2 samples using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Direct spatial mapping of wavefunctions at the flat band energy have shown that the flat bands are localized differently for 3{\deg} and 57.5{\deg}, in excellent agreement with first-principle density functional theory calculations.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures.

Cardiac Complications in Acute Ischemic Stroke

<p>Introduction: To characterize cardiac complications in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients admitted from an urban emergency department (ED).</p> <p>Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study evaluating AIS patients admitted from the ED within 24 hours of symptom onset who also had an echocardiogram performed within 72 hours of admission.</p> <p>Results: Two hundred AIS patients were identified with an overall in-hospital mortality rate of 8% (n¼ 16). In our cohort, 57 (28.5%) of 200 had an ejection fraction less than 50%, 35 (20.4%) of 171 had ischemic changes on electrocardiogram (ECG), 18 (10.5%) of 171 presented in active atrial fibrillation, 21 (13.0%) of 161 had serum troponin elevation, and 2 (1.1%) of 184 survivors had potentially lethal</p> <p>arrhythmias on telemetry monitoring. Subgroup analysis revealed higher in-hospital mortality rates among those with systolic dysfunction (15.8% versus 4.9%; P ¼ 0.0180), troponin elevation (38.1% versus 3.4%; P , 0.0001), atrial fibrillation on ECG (33.3% versus 3.8%; P ¼ 0.0003), and ischemic changes on ECG (17.1% versus 6.1%; P ¼ 0.0398) compared with those without.</p> <p>Conclusion: A proportion of AIS patients may have cardiac complications. Systolic dysfunction, troponin elevation, atrial fibrillation, or ischemic changes on ECG may be associated with higher inhospital mortality rates. These findings support the adjunctive role of cardiac-monitoring strategies in the acute presentation of AIS. [West J Emerg Med. 2011;12(4):414–420.]</p

A Simple Explanation for DAMA with Moderate Channeling

We consider the possibility that the DAMA signal arises from channeled events in simple models where the dark matter interaction with nuclei is suppressed at small momenta. As with the standard WIMP, these models have two parameters (the dark matter mass and the size of the cross-section), without the need to introduce an additional energy threshold type of parameter. We find that they can be consistent with channeling fractions as low as about ~ 15%, so long as at least ~70% of the nuclear recoil energy for channeled events is deposited electronically. Given that there are reasons not to expect very large channeling fractions, these scenarios make the channeling explanation of DAMA much more compelling.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure

Review of Benefit Using Gamification Element for Countryside Tourism

Gamification theory right now has drawn researchers in many areas. This is because gamification has many effects to improve engagement, motivation, learning outcome, entertainment, etc. Gamification in tourism has an effect on tourists, places of tourism and the economy around tourist attractions. In addition, gamification can also be applied to manage workers in tourism places. How gamification can improve tourism attraction to travel to the countryside tour and the benefit of using gamification element will be discussed in this literature review. This literature review collected data about gamification element and its effect from other researchers. Data about gamification of tourism, how that work and what gamification element can support this context will be collected too. The results of this study are that the application of gamification in the tourism sector can be beneficial, ranging from visitors, managers to communities around tourist attraction
