radial and ulnar is between 70%-85% and supination and pronation and is between 65%-85%. The limitation of the system is the angle sensor which has a non-working area, the precision of the angular movement of the motor varies from the system and the mounting mechanism of the motor has some stability issues. The future works of the system is to have a stepper motor with precise angle movement, better motor mounting mechanism to increase stability.

Abstract: The awareness about the harmful effect on fiberglass as sound absorbing material on human health and environment has increased. Thus, the demand for natural fiber to replace fiberglass panel is expanding due to low cost in fabrication and more environmentally friendly. This research has studied the thickness effects on microstructure and acoustic properties of low density fiberboard (170 kg/m3) based natural fiber of OPT. The morphologies and acoustic properties of all samples were examined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Impedance Tube Method (ITM), respectively. The SAC values for all samples showed a minimum value of 0.8 at frequency range of 2500 Hz – 6400 Hz except for sample with thickness of 10 mm. However, the SAC values of sample with thickness of 10 mm almost reach unity (~0.99) at frequency range of 6000 Hz – 6400 Hz. SAC values are found to increase with increasing in thickness at frequency range of 0 – 3500 Hz except for sample with thickness of 12 mm. As the frequency increased from 5500 to 6400 Hz, the SAC values increased with decreasing in thickness with exception of sample 12 mm. Tortuosity, where it reflects the percolation paths may play a crucial role in determining the SAC at frequency range of 0 – 3500 Hz. The SAC values in frequency range of 0 – 2500 Hz have been fitted in linear equation. The results show that the experimental SAC values for all samples fitted well in linear equation, where the linear correlation, R2 for all samples is above 0.98.

deals with the impact test of the shoulder protectors, which differ with the use of foams of different densities. The acceleration and displacement of an impactor having the mass of five kilograms were measured. The impactor dropped from a height of one meter. For each sample, two impacts were used. The results show how the use of the different foams affects the deceleration of the impactor and the distance between the impactor and the base block (compression of the protector). Moreover, the results show how the deceleration and the distance change when the impact is repeated. The ideal protector would have low density, low maximum impact deceleration, low maximum protector compression, and its properties would not change when impact is repeated. The foam with good compromise properties was evaluated.

5 011-pkt Perception, Gap and Reflection of S-OOCBs Dimensions and Their Influence on Servqual From the Perspective of Banking Employees and Customers in Indonesia Soni Harsono1, Harry Widyantoro2, Tjahjani Prawitowati3, Basuki Rachmat4 1STIE Perbanas Surabaya, [email protected] 2STIE Perbanas Surabaya, [email protected] 3STIE Perbanas Surabaya, [email protected] 4 STIE Perbanas Surabaya, [email protected]

Abstract: There are not many studies that integrate Service-Oriented Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (S-OOCBs) and service quality, in the banking industry in an effort to seize and maintain customer loyalty. The purpose of this study is to explore perceptions, gaps and relationships between the dimensions of S-OOCBs and servqual in terms of banking employees and customers. This study used a quantitative approach, involving 399 respondents consisting of 74 employees and 325 customers of Bank Perkreditan Rakyat (BPR) and Bank Pembangunan Daerah (BPD). Data were collected using questionnaires and the data analysis was done using WarpPLS. This study proves that the average perception of BPR customers and employees on S-OOCBs and servqual is higher than that of BPD customers and employees. Based on the average gap of perceptions of the dimensions of S-OOCBs and servqual, the customers perceive that the employees have the dimensions of S-OOCBs in the same category as the employees’ self-evaluation. According to BPR/BPD employees and customers, all dimensions examined are the reflection of S-OOCBs. The S-OOCBs of both employees and customers of BPR and BPD have a significant positive effect on servqual. The results of this study have managerial implications because they are viewed from two sides, banking employees and customers, and are useful for banking management.

and brainstorming. The result indicates that the needs for further education among students, mostly female, aged between 19-21 years old. A total of 72.30 % require the logistics disciplines in future businesses (X̅= 4.31, SD = 0.962). The nature of the curriculum should be focusing on logistics theory (X̅= 4.35, SD = 0.962). The equation of multiple regressions showed that the logistics education meets the labor market (Dem), income level of the parents (inc), distance from home to schools (Dis) and the labor demand in Logistics felled even at the Northeast. The entrepreneurs and the private sectors indicated to 70 %, 18 %, state agencies, enterprises and other organizations in 12 % which agreed on education for better growth in logistics market. Personnel in logistics is critical in future (X̅= 4.31, SD = 0.692), demand for logistics in trades border (X̅= 4.12, SD = 0.798), transportation movement at the Northeast links with neighboring countries (X̅= 4.12, SD = 0.798) and personnel logistics with a good command of English (X̅= 4.01, SD = 0.561). The exhibit shows reduction on logistics trend at the Northeast due to knowledge and education. Logistics shall be the important factors due to the increasing of business volumes, enhance its competitiveness and focusing on costs reduction. The government policy was very encouraging towards logistics businesses. The demand for logistics personnel are increasing and this will contribute to the economic growth at the North East. Suggestion for future development is to have a real learning on the logistics theory through government and private partnership. This will enable for the best of logistics education towards improvement and quality labor for better economic growth in Thailand.
