Seven types of plastic waste have been used in the manufacture of tile includes, PET, PVC, PS, PP, LDPE, HDPE, and PC. In stainless steel mold 250g of different weight percentages of grinded plastic waste have been packed, heated for 30min at ~170{\textdegree}C and then pressed inside piston give pressure of 5ton/in2 equal to (44.2MPa) and for 5min. The produced tile was cooled gradually inside its mold till reached 5oC. Different mechanical test for the manufacture tiles were done, where the best result was found for specimen3 plastic mixture, where shows compression strength 17.0MPa for square tile form, tile 17.4 MPa for circular tile form, which means the tile form play an important role in its strength. Similarly, the tensile strength and elongation\% tests were also be the highest for specimen3 with values equal 3.4MPa and 2.0\%, respectively. The Rockwell hardness of the tile shows HRR=95 where large numbers correspond to harder material. Finally the Charpy impact test shows the specimen2 has the highest impact energy 2.421kg.m and toughness 2.968kg.m/cm2. All previous mechanical values clear the manufactured plastic tiles are suitable as building materials.</p>

	abstract = {<p class="rtejustify">The marketing mix is a core business that is very closely related to the targeted patients, so that hospital efforts are specifically closely related to patient behavior in utilizing services. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between the marketing mix and the patient{\textquoteright}s decision to choose health services in outpatient and inpatient installations at Sandi Karsa Hospital, Makassar. The type of research used is quantitative research with a cross sectional study design. The population in this study was 97 outpatients and 76 inpatients. Sample determination was carried out using the accidental sampling method. Data analysis used univariate, bivariate with chi square test and multivariate with multiple logistic regression test. The results showed that in outpatient installations, there was a relationship between product (p=0.003), staff (p=0.009), physical evidence (p=0.001), process (p=0.000), and performance (p=0.000), there was no relationship between price (p=1,000), promotion (p=0.554), place (p=1,000), and strength (p=1,000) with the patient{\textquoteright}s decision to choose health services at Sandi Karsa Hospital. Meanwhile, in inpatient installations there is a relationship between product (p=0.005), place (p=0.017), staff (p=0.000), process (p=0.002) and physical evidence (p=0.006), there is no price relationship (p= 0.674), promotion (p=1.000), performance (p=1.000), and strength (p=0.358) with the patient{\textquoteright}s decision to choose health services at Sandi Karsa Hospital Makassar.</p>
