This quantitative study investigates the effect of customer satisfaction on customer loyalty in yoghurt companies. The research utilizes survey and cross-sectional research designs to collect data from respondents, employing a systematic sampling technique. Given the infinite population size, data was collected from a sample of 397 customers of these yoghurt companies. Regression was applied to analyze the data and test the hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that customer satisfaction impact on customer loyalty. It was recommended that managers should foster customer satisfaction as this will ultimately lead to increased customer loyalty.
Risk Perception and Occupational Health and Safety: Evaluation in National and Global Context
Authors: Özbakır Okan
Published: June 2024

Risks can be prevalent problems both within national borders and beyond. Examples of recent global infectious diseases such as natural disasters, man-made disasters (such as exposure to radiation), Covid, H1N1, and Ebola viruses can serve as examples of this. Interpretations and subjective judgments about risk are called risk perceptions and are important determinants of health and risk-related decisions (such as policy decisions about nuclear power plants, genetically modified foods, processed meats). We conducted research on studies on perception around the world, trends and what can be studied in the future. In this study, we identified 137 relevant publications from the SCOPUS database between 1987 and 2023. All the data obtained were analyzed using the Bibliometrix computer program based on R-studio. Analyses included the analysis of co-occurrences of networks, thematic maps, and trending topics. According to the findings of the present study, all reports were published in 101 sources since 1987. These documents have an annual growth rate of 5.55, increasing significantly after 2009. The countries with the highest number of publications are Australia, followed by Canada, Italy, Portugal, and the United States. Due to the nature of the topic, the occurrence of joint publications among countries is quite low. Individuals’ awareness of occupational health and safety issues increases their awareness of workplace risks and, therefore, the likelihood of preventing workplace accidents and occupational illnesses.

Published: June 2024

Tugs are an important part in port activity and navigational safety issues. Port tugs ensure the safety of large vessels while they are entering, maneuvering, mooring and unmooring, and are of huge importance during other port operations. They are also used for other important port functions and activities, such as fire protection and search and rescue operations. To achieve efficient tug operations, investigating the features of tug activities is of crucial importance. This study aims to characterize Automatic Identification System (AIS) data for further maneuver services identification and characteristics analysis of tug activities in harbor areas.
The AIS data from seven tugs in the port of Barcelona, Spain, in March 2023 were characterized for future identification of maneuvers. The finding of this research will help to improve the planning, timing, and assessment of tug services for docking and undocking vessels and evaluation of tug fleet operation. In this study, Speed Over Ground (SOG), Navigational Status of tugs (NS), ping frequency and data gap information on different variables are analyzed. Initial findings describe SOG ranging from 0-13 knots and a scattered use of the NS definition throughout the fleet. Ping frequency and data gaps are also initially described depending on the variable and the outcomes indicate that it relies on external factors such as the equipment used, technical issues, human factors and dense traffic etc.  Hence, investigating the attributes of tugboat operations can enhance the efficiency of tugboat fleets in port areas.

Published: June 2024

The accurate prediction of future climate patterns is of paramount importance in understanding and mitigating the impacts of climate change on various ecosystems and human societies. This study focuses on the utilization of Global Circulation Models (GCMs) to project forthcoming climate data. GCMs are indispensable tools that simulate the Earth's atmospheric and oceanic processes, enabling us to gain insights into the complex interactions driving climatic shifts. 2 climate models namely HadGEM2-ES and MIROC-ESM were selected to generate future climate data for the period 2010-2090 from MarkSim daily weather generator and also generated climate data compared with the observed data for the period 2010-2021. By comparing model predictions with observed trends, it helps to validate the performance of GCMs and identify potential areas of improvement. Results reveals that both RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios predicted substantial rise in precipitation and temperature for future years. HadGEM2-ES with RCP 8.5 show very high temperature whereas MIROC-ESM with RCP 4.5 shows very low temperature. There is an increasing trend in prediction of climate data from 2010 to 2090 with highest precipitation and temperature in 2090 and lowest in 2010. From the prediction it is expected to increase in rainfall from 49.75 mm to 1341.66 in the future and maximum and minimum temperature about 32.98-36.84 °C and 24.37-28.58°C. It was also observed that minimum temperature was increasing drastically compared to the maximum temperature. Mean monthly observed and predicted precipitation and temperature was compared for the period 2010-2090. Statistical analysis was done to compare both data. RCP 8.5 scenario is more correlated with observed data. Models had underestimated 1-3°C temperature and 30-49.7 mm rainfall this bias has to be corrected. RCP 8.5 scenario was having highest R2 about 0.88 for precipitation and 0.97 for temperature low correlation was observed for RCP 4.5 scenario compared to 8.5. Statistical analysis results confirms that data obtained from MIROC-ESM with RCP 8.5 scenario are in close agreement with the observed data with low bias in data, hence this model and scenario can be used for future projection of climate data. The findings provide crucial insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders working towards a comprehensive understanding of the Earth's changing climate and the formulation of effective strategies to address its far-reaching consequences.

FUELS OF THE FUTURE
Authors: Kumar Samala Dr. Rajesh
Published: June 2024

There are unconventional fuels that may serve as near term major replacements for conventional mineral oil and natural gas. These include fuels from oil shale and bitumen, liquid fuels from coal, methane from methane hydrates, biofuels and the secondary fuel hydrogen. Here, these fuels will be reviewed as to their presumable stocks and life cycle wastes, emissions and inputs of natural resources. The unconventional fuels are usually characterized by a relatively poor source-to-burner energy efficiency when compared with current conventional mineral oil and gas. Apart from some varieties of hydrogen and biofuel, their life cycles are characterized by relatively large water inputs, emissions, and wastes. The unconventional fuels shale oil, bituminous oil, coal liquids, and methane from methane hydrates are based on natural resources which are practically finite. This does not hold for biofuels, but the sustainable supply thereof is severely limited when large numbers of people also have to be fed. In view of the problems associated with unconventional fuels, there is a case to consider fuel-less replacements for many fuel applications.

Authors: M G Shalini , Naveen K B Dr.
Published: June 2024

The design and optimization of an energy harvesting antenna that can effectively capture electromagnetic energy over a broad frequency range, specifically from 2.4 GHz to several GHz, are discussed in this study. The antenna design and analysis were carried out only using the High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) tool, a highly sophisticated electromagnetic modeling programme extensively used in the field of antenna engineering. This research's main objective was to develop an antenna that could efficiently gather energy from background electromagnetic waves, especially in the frequency ranges that are often used by various wireless communication devices. Utilizing the sophisticated capabilities of the HFSS tool, which enables precise modeling of complex antenna designs and accurate projections of radiation patterns and antenna performance, the antenna design was rigorously adjusted to increase energy harvesting efficiency. The research methodology includes a number of crucial procedures. First, a comprehensive analysis of the research on energy harvesting antennas and their performance traits was conducted. After that, the modeling and simulating of various antenna designs, combinations, and parameters using HFSS started the design process. Based on simulation results, the antenna design was improved repeatedly in order to get the best performance possible within the target frequency range. The energy harvesting antenna, which was totally constructed with HFSS, functions admirably in the necessary frequency ranges of 2.4GhZ to 60GhZ, according to the results of both simulations and actual measurements. The results of this work pave the way for future improvements in wireless energy harvesting devices by providing useful insights and beneficial practical ideas for the design and optimization of energy harvesting antennas using modern electromagnetic simulation techniques.

Published: June 2024

Anesthesia is an ancient science which has undergone progressive evolution over time. Over the last few decades with the advent of nanotechnology the administering anesthesia has become easier, safer and is associated with much favorable outcomes; mainly due to the precision with which nanotechnologically derived anesthesia drugs act. The anesthesia world was introduced to nanotechnology by Sir Richard Feynman. Nanotechnology based drug delivery platforms have evolved and increased in sizable numbers so as to facilitate the administration of commonly used anesthesia drugs, even though only a few drugs have till now received US-FDA approval for use, the number is likely to increase in the coming future with the growing research. Nanocrystals, organic nanoplatforms (Liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, polymeric micelles, hydrogels, protein-based nanoparticles, dendrimers and inorganic platforms are the commonly used nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems). Drugs which have been experimented upon and have brought encouraging results include propofol, ketamine, benzodiazepines, opioids, inhalational agents, reversal agents like atropine and neostigmine etc. A major drug category which has taken the world of anesthesia by storm is the local anaesthetic especially bupivacaine. Additionally, we can expect nanobots to stand beside us and work shoulder to shoulder in patient welfare. However, the fact that nanotechnologically derived drug delivery systems are free of side effects is not true and a number of issues in terms of adverse drug reactions and ethical issues still exist. But they are likely to be overcome in the coming future.

Published: June 2024

Digital Smile Design (DSD) in dentistry is a modern technique that facilitates the planning and visualisation of expected treatment outcomes by digitally simulating and previewing the final smile design. It has emerged as a transformative approach to treatment planning and visualization, allowing for a dynamic and patient-centred methodology. This digital technique involves active patient participation, enabling the customization of smile designs based on individual preferences and morpho-psychological characteristics. This collaborative approach establishes a psychological connection with the patient, fosteringtrust in the treatment process and boosting confidence in authorizing planned dental procedures. Dentists employ reference lines and shapes on both extra and intraoralphotographic images to better assess the limitations, risk factors, and aesthetic principles of a case. This comprehensive perspective enhances diagnostic accuracy and contributes toimproved outcomes across all phases of treatment. The incorporation of dynamic smile documentation in the Digital Smile Design protocol not only refines diagnostic precision but also ensures consistency in the treatment regimen. Digital Smile Design represents a paradigm shift in dentistry, offering a holistic and patient-centric approach that combines technology and artistry to achieve aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound results with minimal risks.

The widespread use of computers and digital gadgets in an age marked by rapid technological growth and digital innovation has definitely changed the way we live, work, and interact. These technological wonders have improved convenience, connectivity, and efficiency by seamlessly integrating themselves into our daily lives. The rising tide of electronic garbage, or e-waste, is a challenge that demands our immediate attention and collective action in the midst of this incredible progress. An international environmental crisis that threatens the delicate balance of our world has been sparked by the growth of technological devices. Discarded smart phones, televisions, computers, and other digital devices all add to the growing stream of e-waste, which is full of both potential and danger. Beyond their sophisticated designs and cutting-edge features are dangerous elements, harmful compounds, and unavoidable ecological effects. The need for "green recycling" has arisen as a result of the pressing need to address this complex issue. This innovative strategy for managing e-waste calls for a paradigm shift away from traditional disposal techniques and towards a paradigm that is ecologically friendly and sustainable. Green recycling prioritizes resource conservation, pollution prevention, and the development of a circular economy in order to lessen the negative effects of electronic waste. This chapter, on the other hand, is meant to be a beacon of hope, a call to action, and a road map for change. With a strong focus on sustainability, green recycling presents a way out—a route to responsible e-waste management that protects the environment, saves priceless resources, and maintains the innovation legacy for future generations.

Organizations evolve based on the external and internal environment. The impact of technology and society changes the way organization structures govern the employer-employee relationship. The IT revolution has ensured that one need not be bound by time and space to perform one’s job roles in the organization. Gig economy is a means where employer and employee are free to realize each other’s potential. Gig economy makes it possible for the employee to get rewarded as per his/her capabilities. There is no limitation that is posed by traditional hierarchical structures. Simultaneously, the employer can increase the productivity of the task by assigning it to the best possible candidate. It’s a win-win scenario where both the parties enjoy the best of work conditions. As time progresses, the corporates and Government have to come up with models of social security for such employees.

Published: June 2024

Transcriptomics are methods for examining an organism's transcriptome, which is the totality of all of its RNA transcripts. Transcription is the process through which an organism's information is expressed and stored in the DNA of its genome. In order to gain knowledge about a cell's transcriptome, RNA sequencing method makes advantage of potential of other advanced sequencing techniques. RNA-seq analysis can be used to investigate genes and the transcripts that accompany them for a number of functions, including as finding new exons or entire transcripts and analysing gene expression. The functional complexity of transcription has been further understood thanks to recent improvements in the RNA-Seq methodology, which include sample preparation, library creation, and data analysis. We go over every significant stage in RNA-seq data analysis, including experimental design, quality assurance, read alignment, measurement of gene and transcript levels, and differential gene expression. We also emphasise the difficulties that each phase presents. We outline a general bioinformatics workflow for the quantitative analysis of RNA-seq data as well as a few recently released computational tools that can be used at different stages of this workflow. These tools are part of a pipeline for RNA-seq data quality assessment and quantification that starts with raw sequencing files and is targeted at finding and analysing genes that exhibit differential expression under various biological situations.
