Thermal stresses in 304 stainless steel plate-fin structure at steady condition were calculated by finite element method. A squential coupling calculation procedure was developed to obtain the temperature and thermal stress distribution. The effects of plate thickness, fin thickness and filler metal thickness on thermal stresses were discussed. The results show that the thermal stresses in plate-fin structure are complex and nonuniform. The peak thermal stresses are shown in the fillet. With the plate thickness and fin thickness increasing, the thermal stresses are increased. The peak stresses are decreased as the filler metal thickness increasing.

This research studies the accountability and performance of public sector organizations. It provides empirical evidence about the relationship between the use of a performance measurement system and the organizational factors of accountability and organizational performance. We investigate the three roles of a performance measurement system (its operational use, incentive use, and exploratory use), and three organizational factors (contractibility, the legislative mandate, and management commitment). A mixed method approach with squential explanatory design was used to answer the research question. The hyphoteses testing used Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Our findings were based on survey data from 137 SKPD officers in the local government of Yogyakarta Province, and showed that management commitment had a positive association with accountability and organizational performance. We also found a positive association between the legislative mandate and accountability. However, this research did not find any significant association among the three roles of the performance measurement system with accountability and organizational performance. Based on the institutional theory, our findings show substantial contributions by the institutional isomorphism, which was used in an appropriate manner to explain the context of public sector organizations, especially in the local government of Yogyakarta Province.Keywords: the use of performance measurement system, organizational factors, accountability, mixed method

Akreditasi rumah sakit adalah suatu pengakuan yang diberikan oleh pemerintah pada rumah sakit karena telah memenuhi standar yang disyaratkan dan merupakan salah satu syarat dalam berbagai perizinan dan kerjasama. Dalam pelaksanaanya terdapat kesenjangan yang mempengaruhi perubahan implementasi hak pasien dan keluarga terhadap standar akreditasi yang ada. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor – faktor yang mempengaruhi implentasi kebijakan HPK sesuai standar akreditasi rumah sakit versi 2012 di RS Santo Yusup. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kombinasi (mixed metode) dengan mengunakan desain tipe squential explanatory. Populasi penelitian 220 dan sampel 142 dan 6 orang informan. Analisis yang digunakan, analisis bivariat dan kualitatif menurut Miles dan Huberman. Hasil univariat menunjukan jenis kelamin 86% perempuan, 45,1% dewasa awal, 90,8% pendidikan tinggi, lama bekerja hampir sama, 62% belum pernah mengikuti pelatihan dan 50,7% implementasi kurang. Hasil analisa bivariat dan kualitatif pada jenis kelamin, usia, pendidikan, pelatihan, tingkat pengetahuan dan motivasi tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan (p > 0,005). Sedangkan pada lama kerja, supervisi dan pengaruh organisasi p < 0,005. Kesimpulan adanya pengaruh lama bekerja, supervisi dan pengaruh organisasi terhadap perubahan implementasi kebijakan HPK. Sehingga perlu diadakan promosi, rotasi dan mutasi serta pengaturan komposisi dan meningkatkansupervisi, komunikasi, koordinasi dan kerjasama bagian/ unit

This study aims to analyze the effect of the marketing mix strategy on customer decisions at Toko Sugeng. This research uses the mix method. The strategy used is squential explanatory. The research were obtained from questionnaires, interviews, observation and documentation. The population in this study are all customers who have made repeat purchases. Samples taken as many as 100 customers. Result research shows the effect of price on customer satisfaction is 14,726%. The effect of the product on customer satisfaction is 13.764%. Effect of location on customer satisfaction of 18,470%. The effect of promotion on customer satisfaction is equal to 37.074%. The effect of price, product, location, and promotion on customer satisfaction is 84%. The marketing strategy applied by Toko Sugeng in increasing customer satisfaction, namely by implementing a marketing formulation strategy, segmenting, targeting, positioning and the marketing mix strategy or marketing mix which consists of four elements, namely product, price, place, promotion. The purpose of this is to attract buyers and retain existing customers. Toko Sugeng uses a SWOT analysis for improve customer satisfaction. In the calculation of the SWOT analysis both in terms of the matrix, EFAS and IFAS and the Cartesian diagram, show that Toko Sugeng is in the quadrant I position, namely (+, +). This position proves a strong and likely shop. Tactic recommendations given is progressive. So that it is really possible to continue to expand, enlarge growth and achieve maximum progress. Keywords: marketing mix, strategy, customer satisfaction

For the last several decades, sequential change point problems have been studied in both the theoretical area (sequential analysis) and the application area (industrial SPC). In the conventional application, the baseline process is assumed to be stationary, and the shift pattern is a step function that is sustained after the shift. However, in biosurveillance, the underlying assumptions of problems are more complicated. This thesis investigates several issues in biosurveillance such as non-homogeneous populations, spatiotemporal surveillance methods, and correlated structures in regional data. The first part of the thesis discusses popular surveillance methods in sequential change point problems and off-line problems based on count data. For sequential change point problems, the CUSUM and the EWMA have been used in healthcare and public health surveillance to detect increases in the rates of diseases or symptoms. On the other hand, for off-line problems, scan statistics are widely used. In this chapter, we link the method for off-line problems to those for sequential change point problems. We investigate three methods--the CUSUM, the EWMA, and scan statistics--and compare them by conditional expected delay (CED). The second part of the thesis pertains to the on-line monitoring problem of detecting a change in the mean of Poisson count data with a non-homogeneous population size. The most common detection schemes are based on generalized likelihood ratio statistics, known as an optimal method under Lodern's criteria. We propose alternative detection schemes based on the weighted likelihood ratios and the adaptive threshold method, which perform better than generalized likelihood ratio statistics in an increasing population. The properties of these three detection schemes are investigated by both a theoretical approach and numerical simulation. The third part of the thesis investigates spatiotemporal surveillance based on likelihood ratios. This chapter proposes a general framework for spatiotemporal surveillance based on likelihood ratio statistics over time windows. We show that the CUSUM and other popular likelihood ratio statistics are the special cases under such a general framework. We compare the efficiency of these surveillance methods in spatiotemporal cases for detecting clusters of incidence using both Monte Carlo simulations and a real example. The fourth part proposes multivariate surveillance methods based on likelihood ratio tests in the presence of spatial correlations. By taking advantage of spatial correlations, the proposed methods can perform better than existing surveillance methods by providing the faster and more accurate detection. We illustrate the application of these methods with a breast cancer case in New Hampshire when observations are spatially correlated.
