    Pengaruh Modern Marketing Management terhadap Kepuasan Konsumen Membeli Handphone Samsung pada Brand Store Samsung di Kota Palu

    Get PDF
    This study aims to identify and analyze: 1) the level of importance of Modern Marketing Management variable that includes People, Process, Programs and Performance to meet customer\u27s satisfaction in Samsung Mobile Phones purchasing at Samsung Brand Store in Palu City; 2) significant influence of Modern Marketing Management (People, Process, Programs and Performance) simultaneously and partially on customer\u27s satisfaction in Samsung Mobile Phones purchasing at Samsung Brand Store in Palu City. Sampling technique used in Non-probability Sampling by applying incidental sampling method to select 150 respondents, who shopped Samsung mobile phones more than once. Method of analysis applied are Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). The result of IPA method indicate that: 1) in quadrant A, variable that need to be improved are programs and performance; in quadrant B, variable needs to be maintained is people; in quadrant C, the variable that shows low performance but do not require urgent action is process. It is suggested that the focus of the company should be on quadrant A; 2) the variable of Modern Marketing Management (People, Process, Programs and Performance) simultaneously have positive and significant influence on customer\u27s satisfaction in Samsung Mobile Phones purchasing at Samsung Brand Store in Palu City; 3) People, Process and Performance partially have positive and significant influence on customer\u27s satisfaction in Samsung Mobile Phones purchasing at Samsung Brand Store in Palu City, while programs has a positive but insignificant influence on customer\u27s satisfaction in Samsung Mobile Phones purchasing at Samsung Brand Store in Palu City

    This presentation will present and analyze the French and the United States\u27 system of freedom and civil rights. This presentation will outline the history of each country\u27s legal system, and their constitutions. It will define the differences between the Executive Branch, Legislative Branch, and Judicial Branch of each country. It will compare each country\u27s ideology, philosophy and ways of thinking due to the history of their own democracy. The presentation will analyze and compare each country\u27s civil liberties, court systems, and counter-terrorism laws recently enacted. It will make an in-depth analysis of the way each country negotiates, which affects their international relations and affairs, as well as their legal systems. It will analyze the current affairs in each country and how their legal systems impact international law with each new crisis occurring in the world today

    Strain-Rate Frequency Superposition in Large-Amplitude Oscillatory Shear

    In a recent work, Wyss, {\it et.al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett., {\bf 98}, 238303 (2007)] have noted a property of `soft solids' under oscillatory shear, the so-called strain-rate frequency superposition (SRFS). We extend this study to the case of soft solids under large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS). We show results from LAOS studies in a monodisperse hydrogel suspension, an aqueous gel, and a biopolymer suspension, and show that constant strain-rate frequency sweep measurements with soft solids can be superimposed onto master curves for higher harmonic moduli, with the {\it same} shift factors as for the linear viscoelastic moduli. We show that the behavior of higher harmonic moduli at low frequencies in constant strain-rate frequency sweep measurements is similar to that at large strain amplitudes in strain-amplitude sweep tests. We show surface plots of the harmonic moduli and the energy dissipation rate per unit volume in LAOS for soft solids, and show experimentally that the energy dissipated per unit volume depends on the first harmonic loss modulus alone, in both the linear and the nonlinear viscoelastic regime.Comment: 10 pages, 25 figures, accepted for publication in Physical Review E.

    Designing new thermoreversible gels by molecular tailoring of hydrophilic-hydrophobic interactions

    We have shown that the lattice fluid hydrogen bond (LFHB) model can successfully quantify the first-order volume transition in hydrogels. The model predicts that a critical balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions is required for a gel to exhibit a discontinuous volume transition. In this work we will report the swelling behavior of a new thermoreversible copolymer hydrogel, which has been synthesized from two monomers, whose homopolymers do not show any volume transition in water in the observable range of temperatures. The discontinuous volume transition phenomenon in the copolymer gel was observed only at a critical balance of hydrophilic-hydrophobic interactions. The discontinuous nature of the volume transition is lost with a subtle change in the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance. The copolymer gel was synthesized from 2-acrylamido 2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS), which is a hydrophilic monomer, and N-tertiary butylacrylamide (N-t-BAm), which is a hydrophobic monomer. The hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance in the gel was altered by either changing the composition of the co-monomers or by substituting the N-t-BAm with another hydrophobic monomer, N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm)
