Predictors of Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty in the Mobile Communication Industry in Ho Municipality, Ghana | Chapter 09 | Emerging Issues in Science and Technology Vol. 1

Aims: The objective of this research was to find out whether subscribers are satisfied with services of the mobile network providers and identify the predictors of customer satisfaction and loyalty in the mobile communication industry and to develop model that links these satisfaction factors and loyalty for any customer in the industry.

Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study design.

Place and Duration of Study: Ho Municipality in Volta Region, Ghana, between July 2016 and September 2016.

Methodology: We included sampled subscribers of the five mobile network operators (MTN, Vodafone, Tigo, Airtel and Glo) in the Ho Municipality. A total of 500 subscribers of the five mobile networks in the Municipality were selected for the research. The study employed a purposive sampling technique in selecting the subscribers located in various parts of the Ho Municipality in Volta Region, Ghana.

Results: Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of customer satisfaction and loyalty. Results show that quite a significant proportion of respondents were satisfied with the services provided by the network providers in Ho Municipality. Furthermore, the study revealed that five (5) factors; “X1 (Perceived service quality)”, “X3 (Wide network coverage)”, “X4 (Network quality or Signal strength)”, “X8 (Availability of high-speed internet service)” and “X12 (Perceived price fairness or Call/SMS Rate)” were significant to the prediction of customer satisfaction and loyalty with a predicted satisfaction and loyalty rate of 80.15%.

Conclusion: Mobile network providers should place a focus on delivering the best possible service quality as well as use advanced techniques to improve network quality and increase the network coverage to all areas in order to achieve better customer satisfaction and loyalty. Management of network providers should improve the service quality and make their services more economical so that customers can afford and have better value for money in using the service.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Occipital Dermal Sinus Tract Causing Craniospinal Infection: A Review | Chapter 13 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Dermal sinus is a rare congenital condition characterized by a pathological tract connecting the skin to deeper tissues of the central nervous system, potentially leading to severe infectious complications. It arises from a failure in the separation of ectodermal layers during early gestation. Diagnosing dermal sinus tract in newborns requires a careful physical examination, focusing on midline dimples in the occipital region associated with cutaneous abnormalities like hairy nevus or hyperpigmentation. The presence of drainage, abnormal hair distribution, or localized swelling may indicate a sinus tract. Regular examination for dimples or sinuses is recommended for infants and children with recurrent meningitis or infections. Early detection is crucial to prevent severe complications like meningitis, with Staphylococcus aureus being a common causative organism. Neuroradiological studies, including computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with histopath...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...
