Identifikasi Kepuasan Pasien Terhadap Pelayanan Klinik Utama Ramanathan di Kota Medan
No full textThe increasing demand for beauty treatments has made customer satisfaction a critical factor in determining the success of beauty clinics. This study aims to evaluate patient satisfaction with the services provided by Klinik Utama Ramanathan in Medan. Using a quantitative approach with survey methods, data was collected from 60 respondents who had received treatments at the clinic. The analysis was based on five dimensions of service quality: tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. Results indicate that the overall patient satisfaction level is high, with the assurance dimension receiving the highest rating (4.4) and responsiveness scoring the lowest (4.1). Regression analysis revealed that assurance had the most significant impact on patient satisfaction, followed by tangible aspects, empathy, reliability, and responsiveness. Although the clinic performs well in service quality, improvements in responsiveness, such as faster response times and enhanced customer interaction, could further enhance patient satisfaction. The study highlights the importance of continuous service quality improvements in maintaining competitiveness in the beauty clinic industry

Supply chain strategies, issues and models
No full textIn the 21st century, supply chain operations and relationships among supply chain partners have become highly challenging, necessitating new approaches, e.g., the development of new models. Supply Chain Strategies, Issues and Models discusses supply chain issues and models with examples from actual industrial cases. Expert authors with a wide spectrum of knowledge working in various areas of supply chain management from various geographical locations offer refreshing, novel and insightful ideas and address possible solutions using established theories and models. Supply Chain Strategies, Issues and Models features studies that have used mathematical modeling, statistical analyses and also descriptive qualitative studies. The chapters cover many relevant themes related to supply chains and logistics including supply chain complexity, information sharing, quality (six sigma), electronic Kanbans, inventory models, scheduling, purchasing and contracts. To facilitate easy reading, the chapters that deal with supply chain related issues are first, followed by studies on inventory, scheduling, purchasing and logistics. This book can be used as a useful resource of supply chain management by academics, students and practitioners. This book can serve as a helping tool in managerial decision making for investments in collaboration and information exchange to improve forecasts, scheduling and inventory management, and for supply chain managers to leverage product and process complexities into competitive advantage. Some interesting mathematical models can appeal to students and researchers interested in modeling the impact of information sharing in supply chains
Concentration in Knowledge Output: A case of Economics Journals
Get PDFThis paper assesses the degree of author concentration in seven economics journals, which were published in India during 1990-2002. To measure the degree of author concentration, Lotka's Law was used. Moreover, we also make an exploratory analysis of the geographic, economics subfield and institutional concentration in 704 economics journals. An important finding of this paper is that specialized journals in the sample report the highest degree of author concentration. This result is quite similar to the findings by Cox and Chung (1991). Furthermore, there are several instances showing that the journals lean towards certain norms; this may affect the flow of innovative ideas into economics. We conclude that a knowledge activity, involving the high degree of concentration and a biased publication process, may affect the flow of new ideas into the discipline.Concentration, Lotka's Law

Effect of leaf extract of Pongamia glabra (Vent.) (Fabaceae) on histological changes of fat body of Periplaneta americana (Linn.) adult male
No full textThe fat body of Periplaneta americana usually contains trophocytes, urocytes and mycetocytes. The fat body showed some marked changes in insects injected with a sublethal concentration of Pongamia glabra [P. pinnata] leaf extract (0.05 ml of 5% concentration) through the intra-peritoneal membrane. In treated insects, the lipid vacuoles of the trophocytes disintegrated, and swollen and irregular shaped nuclei were conspicuous. The mycetocytes decreased in size, and the urocytes mostly disintegrated..RE: 16 ref.; SC: ZA; HE; VE; CA; TR; PA; 0JSource type: Electronic(1) http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=0378-9519&isbn=&volume=21&issue=4&spage=355&pages=355-359&date=1997&title=Journal%20of%20Entomological%20Research&atitle=Effect%20of%20leaf%20extract%20of%20Pongamia%20glabra%20%28Vent.%29%20%28Fabaceae%29%20on%20histological%20changes%20of%20fat%20body%20of%20Periplaneta%20americana%20%28Linn.%29%20adult%20male.&aulast=Ramanathan&pid=%3Cauthor%3ERamanathan%2c%20B%3bRajasekarapandian%2c%20M%3bSelvi%20Sabhanayakam%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E19980505846%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3
