Pengaruh Kualitas Pelayanan, Word of Mouth, Dan Brand Image Terhadap Keputusan Penggunaan Jne Cabang Semarang

High levels of population mobility caused the need for courier services is important in supporting the mobility of global society , either for personal or business interests.

This type of research is using explanatory research. The sample of this research are 100 respondents, and data collection techniques through questionnaires and interview using accidental sampling. Quantitative data were analyzed through the validity, reliability, crosstab, correlation, coefficient of determination, simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, t test and F test using SPSS for Windows version 15. The results show that service quality, word of mouth and brand image have partial and simultaneous effect to using decision. Brand image provides the most effect on using decision of JNE Branch Semarang. The suggestions that can be given in this research are the company expected to increase the service quality especially for the JNE\u27s employee, and also can re-arrange the capacity of service providers facility, and increase the quality of delivery so there\u27s no delay anymore

Relationship Between TNF-238G>A Polymorphism and Predisposition to Pulmonary Tuberculois Infection in the Indonesian Population (a Pilot Study)

Previous studies suggested that genetic factors exerted huge influence in susceptibility to Tuberculosis. Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-a), which is encoded by the TNF gene, play a role on pulmonary macrophage function in isolating and controlling Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Polymorphisms on the promoter region of the TNF gene have been predicted to affect its transcriptional activity. Therefore, these polymorphisms are an excellent candidate to further study the role of TNF-a in susceptibility to Tuberculosis. 100 pulmonary tuberculosis patients (case) and 100 healthy individuals (controls) were recruited for this pilot study. DNA samples from cases and controls were genotyped for the TNF -238G>A SNP (rs361525) using LightSNip genotyping assay. Our results showed no significant difference in the distribution of TNF -238 genotypes in case and control subjects (P = 0.4335). Further investigation on TNF -238 allele frequencies between case and control studies also yields no significant difference (P=1.000; OR=1.000; %95CI [0.246597 4.055200]) which may suggest that there are no association with predisposition to Tuberculosis infection. In conclusion, this pilot study showed that the TNF -238G>A SNP is not associated with susceptibility to Tuberculosis
