Boudu salvado de las aguas: apuntes sobre la mirada de lo cotidiano y motivos en el cine de Jean Renoir
Authors: Bellido Allison
Published: September 2021

En esta punzante sátira social de 1932 vemos cómo se desprenden varias de las características estilísticas del autor francés que encontramos a lo largo de su filmografía, así como las temáticas recurrentes en su obra. A través de dos personajes que representan y contrastan mundos completamente opuestos, se construye un relato en el que se examina la naturaleza humana a partir de los impulsos que contiene o deja salir.
Skyrmion generation and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy modification in Heusler alloy ultrathin films
Authors:   , Zhang Yao
Published: September 2021

This thesis explores the magnetic properties of Heusler alloy thin films for spintronics applications. The skyrmion generation under different externalstimulation was focused in MgO/Mn2CoAl/Pd ultrathin films and the anomalous Hall effect of Co2MnGa thin films.

The perpendicularly magnetized MgO/Mn2CoAl/Pd ultrathin films were firstly optimised by changing the thickness of Pd layer so that the effective magnetic anisotropy can be tuned and various magnetic textures can be obtained for different purposes. Based on the understanding of Pd dependence of magnetic properties, The skyrmion generation by applying an in-plane magnetic field was investigated to fine tune the effective magnetic anisotropy. Further the fractal analysis was used to describe the evolution of the magnetic states and categorise the formation of skyrmions.

Then skyrmion generation by ionic liquid gating has been investigated in this trilayer. Both non-volatile and volatile skyrmions can be generated by applying a range of voltage sequences. The potential mechanisms, magneto-ionic and electrostatic charge effects, have been discussed as well.

Finally, the thickness dependence of Co2MnGa thin films was studied. This material can be used as a spin-orbit generator for manipulating skyrmions. A large anomalous Hall angle (AHA) was demonstrated in Co2MnGa thin films (20 - 50 nm) showing a AHA ~11.4% at low temperature and ~9.7% at room temperature, which can be ascribed to the nontrivial topology of the band structure with large intrinsic Berry curvature. However, the anomalous Hall angle decreases significantly with thicknesses below 20 nm, which band structure calculations confirm is due to the reduction of the majority spin contribution to the Berry curvature.

Authors: J. Dr. Chandrakala , Srinath Dr. Sahana , Chakrabarty Dr. Abhisikta , Yadav Dr. Satish T. , Srinath Dr. S. K
Published: September 2021

Mucormycosis (phycomycosis, zygomycosis) is an severe opportunistic infection 2 caused by a saprophytic fungus found in soil, bread molds, decaying fruits and vegetables. This disease is commonly found in immunodeficiency patients like diabetes, tuberculosis, renal failure, leukemia, Cirrhosis and in severe burn cases. The fungal spores enter paranasal sinuses through inhalation and infection spreads to orbital and intracranial structures via blood vessels or by direct invasion. These organisms invade the arteries leading to thrombosisand subsequently cause necrosis of hard and soft tissues. We report a rare case of mucormycosisinvolving extensive area of palate in a 48-year old male patient with a medical history of diabetes andliver cirrhosis and met with accident a month back. Histopathological examination of H&E stainedsections revealed fungal hyphae in a connective tissue stroma. Non-septate branching hyphae were better appreciated through Gomori methenamine staining. Early diagnosis andtimely treatment can reduce the mortality and morbidity of this fatal condition.

Published: September 2021

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 1999-2002 recorded that 21% of children and 23% of adults had untreated dental caries in the permanent dentition. Ten percent of adults had untreated root caries. Though considerable literature exists on rampant caries in children, because of the lack of strict diagnostic criteria, there is little published data on the incidence and prevalence of adult rampant dental caries. Diagnosis requires assessment of caries activity, oral dryness, dietary risks and medical risks. Management of this condition requires a disease control phase involving Caries risk assessment and evaluation, with reassessment throughout the program. Restoration of all cavitated lesions and use of fluoride releasing materials followed by preventive and therapeutic control strategies, including diet modification. This is followed by extensive multidisciplinary corrective phase involving endodontic, periodontal and prosthetic rehabilitation. The maintenance phase involves preventive and therapeutic agents employed from several different fronts simultaneously, tailored to the source of the caries risk. This case report highlights the importance of proper diagnosis, treatment planning and comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to achieve the function, esthetics and to regain self confidence of the patient in a rare case of adult rampant dental caries.
Evaluation of the community-oriented medical education in two medical schools in Sudan
Authors: Azizi F.
Published: September 2021

An evaluation was made of the extent and impact of community-oriented medical education in the Khartoum and Gezira medical schools in the Sudan. Competency of graduates 3-7 years after graduation and health indicators of the provinces of both medical schools were examined. Gezira had a more community-oriented curriculum although it was deficient in other aspects. The degree of partnership of both schools with the Ministry of Health and the community was weak and the schools’ research programmes had no community orientation. Graduates had similar profiles of job satisfaction, community service, knowledge, attitudes and self-learning. Although Gezira had more emphasis on community medical education, graduates of both schools adapted themselves to the environment dictated by the health care delivery system and cultural values

Published: September 2021

Westudied patterns of antenatal care in low- versus high-risk pregnancies in Lebanon comparing 538 women after delivery in urban Beirut with rural Baka’a. Most women had 9 antenatal care visits with an obstetrician, starting in the first trimester. Care for high-risk and low-risk pregnancies was similar in terms of type of provider, number of visits and timing of first visit. More high-risk women had advice about special diets, supplements and laboratory tests. Maternal and fetal outcomes showed that, controlling for area and pregnancy risk, more antenatal visits were associated with fewer preterm deliveries, more caesarean sections and fewer cases of postpartum depression. Overall, differences between risk groups were small

Wecarried out a prospective, r and omized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the clinical efficacy of ceftriaxone and ampicillin/cloxacillin prophylaxis in decreasing the frequency of post-caesarean section infection-related morbidity. Two hundred patients randomly received either ceftriaxone [single dose] or ampicillin/cloxacillin [3 doses] intravenously at induction of anaesthesia. There was no statistical difference in incidence of endometritis [P = 0.34], wound infection [P = 0.44], or other febrile morbidity [P = 0.5]. Eleven babies had a low Apgar score [< 8] in the ceftriaxone group and 13 in the ampicillin/cloxacillin group [P = 0.82]. There were 2 perinatal deaths in each group. One dose of ceftriaxone was as effective as ampicillin/ cloxacillin in preventing post-caesarean section complications and is easier to administer
Modernization of the electromechanical equipment the trigger device: description of the design and testing
Authors: Volkov M. V.
Published: September 2021

At present, modern spacecraft use high-precision equipment that is sensitive to influence impacts. In this regard, there is a need to create shock-free trigger devices for mechanisms for holding and releasing movable structural elements. These tasks determined the vector of development of electromechanical trigger devices that do not contain pyrotechnic devices in their design. Along with the new tasks, there are constant problems of rocket and space technology – the improvement of mass-dimensional characteristics. However, pyrotechnic elements force the use of massive housings and brackets for structures that can withstand a sharp increase in pressure and the impact of the executive parts. The use of universal pyropatrons does not always allow optimizing the design of the retention mechanism. Also, one of the disadvantages of working with pyrotechnic media is the increased risk of working. The paper presents the results of a study of the possibility of modernizing the design of trigger devices, improving their mechanical and electrical characteristics. The research was carried out using calculated and experimental methods, and experimental samples of trigger devices were manufactured and released. As a result of the work, an upgraded trigger device was developed, better electrical characteristics were achieved, power consumption was reduced (the response time was reduced), mass-dimensional characteristics were improved, and the number of structural parts was reduced.

El análisis de conducta es un campo que aborda problemas complejos tratando de generalizar a partir de situaciones más simples. Inductivo, empírico y meticuloso, es un campo que, desde sus inicios, aspiró a lidiar con las formas más elaboradas de conducta humana y, sin embargo, se acercó a esa complejidad con una estrategia que bien podría parecer descabellada: centrarse en las acciones instrumentales de ratas y palomas. Incluso los propios analistas de conducta en ocasiones malinterpretaron esa estrategia, y los demás psicólogos ciertamente lo hicieron. Esta estrategia nunca se apoyó en el reduccionismo, ni en la creencia de que la conducta de los animales no humanos debía proporcionar una guía adecuada para el análisis de la conducta humana compleja. Más bien, fue un camino escogido de forma estratégica hacia lo complejo; un camino que los analistas de conducta esperaban que condujese a la creación de herramientas útiles para el análisis de situaciones complejas, aun sin tener la certeza de que así sería...

La mayor contribución al análisis de la cognición y el lenguaje humanos realizada por B. F. Skinner ha sido el tratar estos temas de una manera monista, contextual y no reduccionista (un atributo que compartía con J. R. Kantor y con la mayoría de los demás teóricos de la conducta descritos en este volumen). El enfoque de Skinner era elegante en el sentido de que señalaba cuestiones clave para el uso de los principios conductuales que permitían la comprensión de cualquier conducta compleja, como, por ejemplo, la causalidad múltiple. De hecho, este volumen asume muchas de estas ideas. Por ejemplo, no hemos incluido una sección sobre la causalidad múltiple. En su lugar, tal y como hacen la mayoría de los analistas de conducta modernos, simplemente asumimos este concepto...

Haggbloom et al. (2002), resultado de una combinación de indicadores cuantitativos y cualitativos, señalan a Burrhus Frederick Skinner (1904-1990) como uno de los más eminentes psicólogos del siglo XX. Entre estos indicadores destacan la frecuencia de citas en la literatura especializada (posición 8) y en libros de texto de introducción a la psicología (posición 2), el haber sido elegido receptor del premio a una vida de contribuciones a la psicología por la American Psychological Association o el uso de su apellido como epónimo (p.ej., skinneriano, postskinneriano, caja de Skinner). La obra que nos ocupa nos devuelve a los albores de la que sería una de las más destacadas trayectorias en la historia del pensamiento y la investigación psicológicas. La conducta de los organismos es el primero de una larga serie de libros (hasta 20) que publicó B. F. Skinner, entre los que se encuentran títulos tan conocidos como Walden dos (1948/2001), Ciencia y conducta humana (1953/2022), Programas de reforzamiento (1957/1979) (con C. B. Ferster), Conducta verbal (1957/2022), Más allá de la libertad y la dignidad (1971/1986), o Sobre el conductismo (1974). En una entrevista que concedió Skinner el mismo año de su fallecimiento a Aubrey Daniels (un conocido analista de conducta y fundador de la gestión conductual del rendimiento), y en respuesta a la pregunta de cuál de las cosas que había hecho en su vida le producía mayor satisfacción, respondió: “La conducta de los organismos. Fue algo diferente, un golpe de suerte. En mi autobiografía dejé claro la extraordinaria variedad de accidentes afortunados que me llevaron a ello”. Algunos de ellos los revisaremos aquí.

Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) is one of the high-grade lymphomas, characterized by a rapid growth. They are usually treated with intensive chemotherapy regimens, being normally chemo-sensitive, but at the expense of high toxicity secondary to treatment. Additionally, the compromise of the central nervous system (CNS) implies a major risk as well as greater toxicity, taking into account a worse clinical prognosis with a requirement of more intensive schemes to achieve control of the disease. This implies doubts in the management of older patients with BL with CNS compromise, in whom toxicity is a limitation to these therapies, and there are no other alternatives that offer better benefit in terms of less frequent or severe adverse events, with similar outcomes in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS). Therefore, clarifying cases such as the one we report below allows us to provide a therapeutic alternative for older or unfit patients, in whom the intention of treatment should be to seek a good tumor response, but without ignoring the potential toxicity of chemotherapy.

Published: September 2021

The article analyses the most relevant aspects of Arctic research, which are gaining momentum in recent years. The most dynamic thematic ar- eas include the humanitarian issues of the development of the Russian North. The research focuses on the assessment of the peculiarities of the formation and reproduction of human capital in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation the development of the creative and intellectual potential of Russian polar cities. The author notes that research into the social well-being of the population of the Rus- sian Northern regions has become an important direction of research work carried out over the past decades. In studies of the social well-being of the inhabitant of the Arctic region, the authors problematize the key “zones of disadvantage” in the system of assessing the population, and, first of all, the issues of protection from those social dangers that the population find for itself. Summarizing the state of the Arctic research, the author proposes to move away from overly localized coverage of Arctic problems. Large-scale sociological works, which, in our opin- ion, have a certain substantial scientific potential, provided that they are fully implemented, it seems, are now at the stage of their theoretical conceptualization and methodological search.
ACTUALIZATION OF THE ETHNIC: YOUTH BETWEEN FAMILY EXPECTATIONS AND PEAR GROUPS

Published: September 2021

The article deals with various aspects of on the reproduction of young people’s ethno-cultural identities in the contexts of everyday family practices, ethno-religious education and peer group interactions within a wider multiethnic environment. The focus is on the problems of harmonizing the regulatory require- ments of the family and the wider socio-cultural environment of the multi-ethnic region, within which ethnic constructions are redefined. Actualization of behavior model occurs in the process of realizing all the barriers and resources that are signif- icant at a given time. One of the factors that determine the family practices of main- taining traditional culture and personal adaptation in foreign cultural conditions is the involvement in social networks, migration plans, and intra-family careers. At the same time, the problem of reconciling different regulatory requirements of the family and the social environment is most clearly manifested in the space of gender roles and regimes. In addition, in multi-ethnic and multi-confessional communi- ties, the confessional aspect of the “friend-foe” opposition is clearly manifested in everyday interaction with pear groups, and ethnic identity, based on the ideas of one’s own people, traditions, lifestyle, character and behavior of others, is the basis for the formation of interethnic relations among young people.

Mobilidade religiosa dos católicos no Sul do Brasil

O presente trabalho aborda esta questão procurando analisar dois pontos interdependentes: de um lado, compreender se os indivíduos que foram educados segundo o modelo católico e hoje frequentam as religiões mediúnicas e pentecostais o fazem simultaneamente à participação em rituais católicos não renunciando à sua identidade católica, ou se o fazem exclusivamente, abandonando em definitivo as práticas ritualísticas e o sentimento de pertença ao catolicismo; de outro lado, compreender os sentidos subjetivos da “mobilidade religiosa” dos católicos, ou sua “migração religiosa”, como se expressam outros autores (Monteiro de Lima, 1987: 47, Muniz de Souza, 1983: 90).
As romarias de Juazeiro

As romarias de Juazeiro representam, sob o ponto, de vista histórico, a resistência e a reação das camadas populares na defesa do seu tradicional catolicismo luso-brasileiro, diante do avanço do catolicismo romanizado na área rural.

Essa reação assume características muito típicas, pois consiste essencialmente na aceitação exterior das novas formas religiosas do catolicismo romanizado, e, simultaneamente, na sua apropriação e reinterpretação, a partir de uma cosmovisão popular.

Antes de analisar o caso específico de Juazeiro, é importante ter presentes alguns elementos do processo de romanização do catolicismo a partir de meados do século passado...
Os Padres e a Catequese Renovada
Authors: Cansi Bernardo
Published: September 2021

Não é a única, mas uma das mais importantes tarefas do sacerdote é ENSINAR. O profeta Oséias tem profecias contra os sacerdotes. Descreve os pecados deles. Dentre as falhas maiores consta o pouco ensino da ALIANÇA (Ex 19,5; 20,1-26) ao povo. O profeta acusa-os de estarem interessados em deixar o povo pecando, pois comiam as carnes oferecidas em expiação dos pecados do povo (Lv 6,19-22; 7,7); fala que o sacerdote pode comer desta carne, mas sem deixar o povo pecando. Por isso Oséias diz: “Farei perecer tua mãe” (4,4-10). Na verdade, os sacerdotes prostituíram-se. Foram infiéis no culto (Os 9,1). A ignorância da Aliança e dos preceitos do Senhor destrói o povo: “Meu povo será destruído por falta de CONHECIMENTO. Porque tu rejeitaste o conhecimento eu te rejeitarei do meu sacerdócio; porque esqueceste o ENSINAMENTO de teu Deus, eu também me esquecerei dos teus filhos. Eles se alimentam dos pecados do meu povo e anseiam por sua falta” (Os 4,6-8). O sacerdote, recebendo uma parte vantajosa nos sacrifícios pelo pecado (Lv 6,19-22), e nos sacrifícios de reparação (Lv 7,7), tirava vantagem dos pecados do povo (ISm 2,12-17). Eis a lei, a respeito da qual os sacerdotes deviam ENSINAR O POVO: “Eles ensinam as tuas normas a Jacó e tua lei a Israel. Eles oferecem incenso em tua presença e holocaustos em teu altar”. Também Malaquias fala do dever dos sacerdotes quanto ao ensino da Aliança: “Porque os lábios do sacerdote guardavam o CONHECIMENTO, e de sua boca se procurava o ENSINAMENTO, pois ele era um mensageiro de Javé” (Ml 2,5-8)...
Risky sexual behavior and the HIV gender gap for younger adults in sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Daniels Elad , Gaumer Gary , Newaz Fairooz , Nandakumar Allyala K
Published: September 2021

Background

HIV/AIDS continues to persist as a major global public health issue in Africa. Within the younger adult population, adolescent girls and younger women aged 15 to 29 years have been identified as having a heightened risk of contracting HIV. Risky sexual behaviors are important drivers behind the HIV prevalence gender gap among younger adults in sub-Saharan Africa.

Methods

We used nationally representative survey data from three sub-Saharan African countries, Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia, to explain the relationship between HIV prevalence and having an older partner and/or having multiple partners using a logit model. We then proceeded to conduct a Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition analysis to better understand the gap drivers.

Results

We found that while the gender gap is driven largely by women having higher levels of risk for sexual behaviors and other risk factors in two of the study countries, this was not found in the third. We also found that different sexual behaviors vary in their riskiness across countries. Having multiple partners and having an older partner carried a similar risk with regard to younger adults contracting HIV in Malawi; in Tanzania and Zambia the risk associated with having multiple partners was greater than the risk associated with having an older partner. In all three countries the risk of being a younger adult female was higher than men, other risk factors the same.

Conclusions

Risky sexual behavior contributed to increased prevalence of HIV in the study countries. Policies aiming to encourage younger women to form relationships with men among their cohort would be most impactful in Malawi, where currently many younger women have partners who are more than five years their senior compared to younger men. Other policies can attempt to reduce non-monogamous relationships among younger adults, wherein multiple partners are a key driver of the HIV gender gap.

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite the availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy, many people with this disease still present with its ocular complications. Cataracts remain the commonest reason for blindness in Nigeria and globally. The prevalence of HIV infection among cataract patients in south east Nigeria has remained unknown. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus among cataract patients in south east Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study. The case files of all who had cataract surgery between September 1st, 2020 to March 31st, 2021 at City of Refuge Specialist Eye Clinic Onitsha, Nigeria was obtained from the Medical Record Department of the hospital to extract relevant information and demographic data. The outcome measures included the prevalence of HIV, as well as the gender and the age of affected cataract patients. Data was analyzed using SPSS 26.0 IBM Corporation. Fisher’s exact test was performed for categorical data, and Student’s t-test was applied to continuous variables depending on their distribution. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In this study, 423 participants who underwent cataract surgery were included for analysis of which 16 were HIV positive. The overall seroprevalence of HIV among the study population was 3.78% with HIV prevalence showing the female to male ratio of 1:1. Up to 70.81% of the patients were at least 60 years of age. Although there was a statistically significant difference between the prevalence of HIV and seasonal presentation (p=0.015), there was no statistically significant relationship between the participants age and gender (p=0.195), prevalence of HIV and the participants’ age categories (p=0.149) or participants’ settlements (p=0.219). Conclusion: The prevalence of HIV among cataract patients in this study was 3.78%. This study confirms that HIV infections are an important public problem among cataract patients in Nigeria. Our findings draw attention to the significant burden HIV has on cataract surgery in Nigeria. We recommend advocacy for the national policymakers to initiate HIV tests in routine ophthalmology services.
Effect of legume type and nitrogen source on milk yield among dairy cows fed maize (Zea mays) stover treated with groundnut (Arachis hypogea) and soybean (Glycine max) stover

The main objective of the study was to develop technology for improving utilization of abundant quantities of under- utilized crop residues and leguminous plants during the dry season to mitigate effects of dry season on milk yield. The study was set up to test practical ways of upgrading low quality roughage and their effect on milk yield. A 22 factorial experiment within a Completely Randomised Design (CRD) was used. The study involved improving the quality of maize stover using urea fertilizer (UF), chopped groundnut (cGS) and soybean (cSS) stover, mineralized groundnut (mGS) and mineralized soybean (mSS) solution as sources of nitrogen. Research findings revealed superiority of UET over both groundnut and soybean stover in improving the quality of maize stover. Across legume types, groundnut stover had a higher positive effect on improving the quality of maize stover in terms of milk yield. Within legume stover type mGS showed superior milk yield values than cGS. The reverse was true for soybean stover. The study indicated the effect of improving maize stover with cSS on milk yield was higher than that of mSS in improving the quality of maize stover. It was generally observed that the use of mineralization of legume stover in improving the quality of maize stover is more effective than chopping. Pooled result of effect of mineralised groundnut and soybean stover on milk yield was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of the chopped forms for the same legume stover. When evaluated across legume type the effect of legume type on milk yield did not differ significantly (p>0.05) for both processing methods.

Published: September 2021

Inadequate safe and portable water supply particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries has been associated with posing serious public health implications, especially as water related diseases continue to be a major health challenge in resource limited settings worldwide. Physicochemical and bacteriological parameters of borehole and spring water sources in a sub-urban community were assessed to determine their potability and correlation index. Twenty (20) water samples, 10 from boreholes and 10 from springs were randomly collected from different locations and analysed using standard microbiological and physicochemical methods. The results were compared with NIS and WHO standards for drinking water. Physicochemical parameters including; temperature, pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, total hardness, total dissolved solid, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Chloride, Sodium, Nitrate, Ammonium and Potassium were determined following the procedures prescribed by American Public Health Association Standard Method. Results obtained revealed that 99.3% of the analysed physicochemical parameters were within the maximum acceptable limits of NIS and WHO guidelines for drinking water except borehole iron concentration (0.52mg/L) and Manganese concentration (0.14mg/L). The total heterotrophic bacterial count (THB), total coliform count and faecal coliform count ranged from 1.6x103cfu/100ml to 4.7x103cfu/100 ml, 8.0cfu/100ml to 25cfu/ml, 0cfu/100ml to 14cfu/100ml respectively for boreholes, and 1.7x103cfu/100ml to 4.6x103cfu/100ml, 10cfu/100ml to 21cfu/100ml, 9cfu/100ml to 17cfu/100ml respectively for samples from spring water supply. Phenotypic characterization of the samples revealed the presence of certain organisms with pathogenic potentials such as Staphylococcus aureus 27.5%, followed by E. coli 19.6%, P. aeruginosa 11.8%, Klebsiella spp. 9.8%, Enterobacter spp. 7.8%, Enterococcus spp. 7.8%, Lactobacillus spp. 5.9%, Proteus spp. 3.9%, Shigella spp. 3.9% and Vibrio cholerae 2.0%. Pearson’s correlation analysis showed significantly strong positive correlation between total heterotrophic bacteria count and total coliforms (r = 0.643) and strong negative correlation between pH and total dissolved solids (r = -0.640). Other parameters such as faecal coliform, temperature, pH, turbidity, Zinc, Ammonium and Sodium shows significant correlation among variables.

Published: September 2021

This study aims to explore the bottlenecks of the Online Travel Portals while catering to business travelers. Data collection was done from Online Travel Portals and 379 foreign tourists using varied scales to determine their comprehensive perceived experience, technology adoption perception, the bottlenecks encountered and the ability to adapt while selecting online travel portals. Findings revealed that building trust is a major bottleneck for business travelers as they are skeptical of online transactions, cases of online thefts and internet security issues is another bottleneck. Safe and secure payment gateway is a big hurdle. Hotels booked through Online Travel Portals are sometimes not up to the mark and quality is a major bottleneck Online Travel Portals felt that expected tour components by the business travelers was the most problematic factor for them. Another problem was the unfavourable payment terms with the suppliers as well as non-availability of right accommodation demanded by the business travelers. Another bottleneck included not meeting the special needs of Business Travelers.
Determinative Factors of Customer Satisfaction with Local Government Offices’ Counter Services: On-site Survey Examining Service Quality at Higashihiroshima City Hall
Authors: Moteki Yasutoshi
Published: September 2021

This study empirically investigated the major determinative
factors regarding customer satisfaction in local government offices in Japan,
comparing them with the results of similar surveys conducted by the author in
2020. The surveys comprise three categories of questions, referring to (1) customer
satisfaction research in various countries, especially the expectancy
disconfirmation model; (2) the SERVQUAL model; and (3) subsequent methods that
emphasize the customer’s direct experience. A total of 1,000 questionnaires
were distributed over four weekdays at the City Hall. As of September 27, 2021,
there were 537 respondents (response rate: 53.7%). The regression analysis
showed that the independent variables of group C (service delivery) were most
influential, followed by those of groups B (human-related factors) and A (office
hardware) (adjusted R2 value: .58). This is consistent with the
results of the author’s Internet survey of users of Osaka City Government’s
ward offices.
