Pengaruh Kualitas Pelayanan dan Kepuasan terhadap Loyalitas

The research aims to find out the impact of service quality and satisfaction on loyalty. Five dimensions of service quality i.e. issue program, academic reputation, physical aspect, career opportunity, contact personnel, responsiveness, and communication were analyzed. This research is descriptive – quantitative in nature. Data were obtained by using questionnaire which was distributed to the students of SMK Negeri 11, Jakarta. Using proportionate stratified random sampling technique, total sample of 87 respondents were obtained. Data were examined using both descriptive and statistical analysis. Results indicated physical aspect, responsiveness, and communication had the influence on the student satisfaction, meanwhile contact personnel, responsiveness, communication, and satisfaction had the effect on loyalty. Physical aspect had an indirect influence on student loyalty. It is suggested that the management pay more attention to program, academic reputation, career opportunity, and contact personnel. There is also a need for more research to answer which physical aspect is the most dominant

Strategi Public Relations Dan Pencak Silat Tradisional

- Pencak silat is a facet of Indonesian culture. It has been emerging in Indonesia in recent years because of some issues. The primary issue is that traditional pencak silat is dying in its homeland, Indonesia. The number of people who learn traditional pencak silat is decreasing. Meanwhile, some countries have claimed that pencak silat originated from their lands. To prevent traditional pencak silat from vanishing, public relations efforts may be an option. How does public relations become helpful to put the public back to pencak silat? A literature study has been performed. In-depth interviews were organized to gain insights from an organization focused on traditional pencak silat. The study offered both online and offline PR approaches. The community may take the advantages of community relations to build engagement with the public. The spirit of pencak silat may also be shared through direct communication with audiences. Finally, all activities must be published on online media to strengthen online presence and to increase internet publicity. Keywords: culture, pencak silat, public relations, internet, social medi

Ferrofluid surface and volume flows in uniform rotating magnetic fields

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2006.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (p. 255-260).Ferrofluid surface and volume effects in uniform dc and rotating magnetic fields are studied. Theory and corroborating measurements are presented for meniscus shapes and resulting surface driven flows, spin-up flows, and Hele-Shaw cell flows and instabilities. To characterize the water-based and oil-based ferrofluids used in experiments, measurements were made of the magnetization curve, surface tension, viscosity, density, and the speed of sound. Extensive measurements of the height and shape of ferrofluid menisci in applied uniform dc magnetic fields show that the height of the meniscus increases for vertical applied magnetic fields, whereas horizontal magnetic fields decrease meniscus height. An approximate energy minimization analysis agrees with the observed trends in ferrofluid meniscus height. The effects of ferrofluid meniscus curvature on spin-up flow were modeled under simplified assumptions. Analytical solutions were derived for two dimensional low Reynolds number flows and extended results were obtained numerically using COMSOL's Multiphysics finite element software package (FEMLAB) to solve for three dimensional recirculating flows at higher Reynolds numbers.(cont.) Familiar magnetostatic energy expressions in linear magnetic media were extended to non-linear magnetization relations. These energy expressions were applied to study the effects of linear and non-linear magnetization on flows and instabilities in Hele-Shaw cells with simultaneously applied in-plane rotating and dc axial magnetic fields. Ultrasound velocimetry of the spin-up flow in the bulk region of water-based ferrofluids conclusively demonstrates the co-rotation of the bulk of the ferrofluid with the applied rotating magnetic field with and without a free surface. Careful ultrasound investigation of flow profiles at different heights in uncovered ferrofluid cylinders showed flow direction reversal between the counter-rotating top free surface and the co-rotating bulk region of the ferrofluid. A framework for a numerical solution of the coupled governing equations of conservation of linear and angular momentum in magnetic spin-up flows that considers all the terms in the first Shliomis magnetization relaxation equation was formulated and solved. Previous solutions in the literature which decouple the magnetic and fluid mechanical dynamics by neglecting the linear and spin velocities in the magnetization relaxation equations result in no spin-up flow in uniform magnetic fields in the absence of spin diffusion effects.(cont.) Contrary to the commonly held view in the literature, spin-up flows develop in rotating uniform magnetic fields even in the absence of spin diffusion effects. Including the linear and spin velocity terms in the magnetization relaxation equation results in non-zero spin-up flow. Numerical solutions using FEMLAB software are shown for flow profiles with zero and non-zero spin viscosity. Fitting numerical simulations to velocity profile ultrasound measurements allows the estimation of the magnetization relaxation time and the spin viscosity for Ferrotec Corp.'s MSG Wll and EMG705 water-based ferrofluids.by Shihab Mahmoud Elborai.Ph.D

The Mirrornet : Learning Audio Synthesizer Controls Inspired by Sensorimotor Interaction

Experiments to understand the sensorimotor neural interactions in the human cortical speech system support the existence of a bidirectional flow of interactions between the auditory and motor regions. Their key function is to enable the brain to `learn' how to control the vocal tract for speech production. This idea is the impetus for the recently proposed "MirrorNet", a constrained autoencoder architecture. In this paper, the MirrorNet is applied to learn, in an unsupervised manner, the controls of a specific audio synthesizer (DIVA) to produce melodies only from their auditory spectrograms. The results demonstrate how the MirrorNet discovers the synthesizer parameters to generate the melodies that closely resemble the original and those of unseen melodies, and even determine the best set parameters to approximate renditions of complex piano melodies generated by a different synthesizer. This generalizability of the MirrorNet illustrates its potential to discover from sensory data the controls of arbitrary motor-plants
