An alarming rise in the atmospheric level of CO2 beyond safe limits has posed an immediate threat to mankind. It has become necessary to look for new economic processes for its capture and for options that can lead to reduction in the cost of existing processes. Hot potassium carbonate is one of the most viable processes. Efforts are continuously being made to improve on the capacity and rate of absorption of this solvent primarily by the use of activators. The latest activators in this category belong mostly to amines like piperazine and other cyclic nitrogen compounds. However, their study so far has been very haphazard. The first systematic study on alkanol monoamine activators was initiated and reported earlier by the authors. This paper extends the study and discusses the effect of some acyclic and cyclic diamines and polyamines as activators on absorption and regeneration of CO2 in K2CO3 solution. The effect of the cyclic or acyclic nature of the molecule, number of substituents, their chemical nature and their spatial arrangement was investigated. The parameters studied for this effect are rich and lean amine loading of CO2, CO2 regenerated and pKa of activators. Interestingly, it was observed that the bulkiness and spatial arrangement of substituents is the most dominant factor. An unsubstituted cyclic diamine (piperazine) performs best in enhancing the absorption capacity of solvent whereas diethylenetriamine is the best in enhancing rate of absorption. The study reveals no specific correlation of pKa value of the amines with their effect as activator.

The lack of repeated visits of old patients will increase the cost of promotion to get new patients, one way to maintain old patients is to grow patient loyalty. Some patients in Arosuka General Hospital are still not loyal because they come to the hospital only for the first examination, then the patient goes to another hospital, some patients have not recommended the hospital to others, one of the factors that influence patient loyalty is the quality of service. This study aims to determine the relationship between service quality servqual dimensions and patient loyalty in Arosuka Hospital. The type of this study is cross sectional. The population in this study were all patients who came to the Arosuka Hospital polyclinic in 2018, a sample of 203 people with a proportional random sampling sampling technique conducted in April 2018 with the analysis used was the chi square test. The statistical test results obtained 60.1% of respondents not loyal, 61.6% of respondents stated that tangible was not good, 37.9% of respondents stated that reliability was not good, 51.2% of respondents stated that they were less responsive, 43.3% of respondents said assurace was not good, and 48.8% of respondents said empaty not good. There is a significant relationship between tangible, reliability, responsive, assurance, empathy and patient loyalty in Arosuka Hospital with a value of p <0.05 (p = 0.001, p = 0.015, p = 0.010, p = 0.002, p = 0.022). Tangible is the most dominant factor associated with patient loyalty. It is expected that the director will make a policy on service hours, sanctions for those who do not obey the service hours, coordinate with the local government in procuring transportation for patients, the head of the ward designing a comfortable waiting room, and providing suggestion boxes for patients.

Abstract Virtual polymeric materials were created and used in computer simulations to study their behavior under uniaxial loads. Both single-phase materials of amorphous chains and two-phase polymer liquid crystals (PLCs) have been simulated using the molecular dynamics method. This analysis enables a better understanding of the molecular deformation mechanisms in these materials. It was confirmed that chain uncoiling and chain slippage occur concurrently in the materials studied following predominantly a mechanism dependent on the spatial arrangement of the chains (such as their orientation). The presence of entanglements between chains constrains the mechanical response of the material. The presence of a rigid second phase dispersed in the flexible amorphous matrix influences the mechanical behavior and properties. The role of this phase in reinforcement is dependent on its concentration and spatial distribution. However, this is achieved with the cost of increased material brittleness, as crack formation and propagation is favored. Results of our simulations are visualized in five animations.

This study aims to determine the dominant factor of the positive impact of ownership of work competency certificates in the perception of artisan on highrise building projects in the city of South Jakarta. Based on existing data the number of workers who already have work competency certificates is still very minimal. That is caused by several factors, namely the process of implementing certification which is considered complicated to the cost which is considered expensive. But behind these constraints, work competency certificates can have a positive impact on construction workers who have them. In this study conducted by quantitative methods by analyzing the percentage of respondents' perceptions. This research was carried out on the Cithaland Tower project, Alamanda Tower, Dharmawangsa Office Tower. The total number of respondents to be studied is 44 people. In this study the dominant factor studied was measured through four indicators namely work motivation, work productivity, work ability and competitiveness. With each percentage acquisition namely for Work Motivation 26.44%, Work Productivity 24.40%, Work Ability 24.66%, and Competitiveness 24.50%. Of the four indicators there is one indicator with the highest percentage and is the most dominant factor, namely the Work Motivation indicator with a percentage of 26.44%.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a theoretical model that integrates various dimensional factors which influence decision-making process of class selection and enrolment, analysing different angles of this process and explaining those factors which determine students’ decision. Design/methodology/approach This study uses quantitative design to determine and explore students’ decision making in class selection and enrolment. There were 396 students who participated in this study. The data were analysed using principle component analysis to determine the dominant factor for class selection and enrolment. Findings The study has analysed different factors that can influence students’ decision for class selection and enrolment. Five important underlying factors have been identified which includes the class and lecturer factor, time-space factor, ease and comfort factor, course mate factor and commitment factor. Moreover, the Kruskal–Wallis test shows that there is a significant mean difference in choice and selection behaviour between genders and students’ personal attitudes. Research limitations/implications This study is an early attempt to explore the wide fields of decision making in class selection and enrolment. It is hoped that follow-up studies would provide more coverage relative to the findings of this research. Practical implications One particular dimension of micro decision making faced by students is class (course) selection in the beginning of every academic semester/term. Class selection is very critical decision for students as it would reflect students expected outcome for their future career directions. More importantly, the decision made by the students may also affect their academic performance throughout their study. Social implications From the perspective of the university’s administrators, this issue is very critical for planning purposes. Understanding the students’ behaviour in class selection could improve the cost effectiveness as well as the scheduling of course offering to enhance students’ and instructors’ teaching and learning experience. Originality/value While many studies try to explore the questions of what makes a student choose a specific college/university or a specific field, limited number have investigated the behaviour of students in class selection and enrolment. This paper contributes to bridging that gap.
