Kilkari is an outbound service that makes weekly, stage-based, prerecorded calls about reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health directly to families’ mobile phones, starting from the second trimester of pregnancy and until the child is 1 year old. Since its initiation in 2012–2013, Kilkari has scaled to 13 states across India. In this analysis article, we explored the subscriber’s journey from entry to programme to engagement with calls. Data sources included call data records and household survey data from the 2015 National Family Health Survey. In 2018, of the 13.6 million records received by MOTECH, the technology platform that powers Kilkari, 9.5 million (~70%) were rejected and 4.1 million new subscribers were created. Overall, 21% of pregnant women across 13 states were covered by the programme in 2018, with West Bengal and Himachal Pradesh reaching a coverage of over 50%. Among new subscriptions in 2018, 63% were subscribed during pregnancy and 37% after childbirth. Of these, over 80% were ever reached by Kilkari calls and 39% retained in the programme. The main causes for deactivation of subscribers from the system were low listenership and calls going unanswered for six continuous weeks. Globally, Kilkari is the largest maternal mobile messaging programme of its kind in terms of number of subscribers but the coverage among pregnant women remains low. While call reach appears to be on the higher side, subscriber retention is low; this highlights broader challenges with providing mobile health services at scale across India.

In 2018, India had 1.2 billion subscribers, and it was the second largest telecommunications market in the world. The industry had witnessed the emergence, ascendency, and dominance of private sector players during the last two decades. The telecom sector was characterized by a growing wireless user base and Internet subscriber base. The dwindling average revenue per user (ARPU) in the mobile telephony segment and the declining average cost to subscriber per GB of data were manifestations of the intense rivalry in the sector which had led to price wars among incumbent players. The Supreme Court of India’s judgement on Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) in October 2019 obligated the industry players to pay ₹1,470 billion as payment towards their licence fee and spectrum usage charges. Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel, two leading players, collectively owed 60% of the aforementioned liability. Declining revenue had already squeezed the profitability and liquidity of these companies. The AGR liability augmented their challenges.

Competitor pressures, plummeting sales revenue and outdated marketing strategy are some reasons behind a company’s need to reposition itself and remain financially viable. India's telecommunication network is the second largest in the world based on the total number of telephone users (both fixed and mobile phone). It has one of the lowest call tariffs in the world enabled by the mega telephone networks and hyper-competition among them. This research sought to know the impact of rebranding on the loyalty of the network’s subscribers and the general attitude of the People towards branding in the telephony business. A survey was carried out on subscriber attitude towards Airtel as a result of the multiple rebranding through which it emerged

Bike share programs are becoming increasingly popular across U.S. cities. However, their impact on persistent disparities in cycling by gender, race, and socioeconomic status remains understudied. We examined whether subscribers of Citi Bike, New York City’s (NYC) largest bike share program, reflect the sociodemographic profile of NYC cyclists. Using NYC Community Health Survey data, we described adult NYC residents of neighborhoods with ≥1 Citi Bike stations who rode a bicycle at least once a month. Citi Bike members were also described using first-time subscriber survey data. We compared the sociodemographic characteristics of these groups via a z-score with pooled variance. Approximately 2.2 million residents lived in 15 NYC neighborhoods with ≥1 Citi Bike station, and 449,000 (20.5%) reported cycling at least once a month in the past 12 months. Among first-time Citi Bike subscribers, 23,223 (11.5%) completed the survey. Compared with NYC cyclists, Citi Bike subscribers were more likely to be women, aged 24 to 45, White, college graduates, and from a household with an income >400% than the poverty level. Compared with the general population, cyclists were more likely to be White, male, and from a household with an income >400% than the poverty level. Race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (not gender) disparities were larger among Citi Bike subscribers than NYC cyclists. With the emergence of cycling as an alternative transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic and the extension of bike share programs, this highlights the need for ongoing, systematic monitoring of bike share user socioeconomic characteristics to evaluate equitable use and access.

Various streaming entertainment platforms, or often referred to as SVOD, have become entertainment for Indonesian viewers, shifting television as their daily entertainment channel. However, research that raises this issue is still very rare, especially in looking at how the viewers and subscribers of these various streaming services are. This paper aims to see, firstly, how entertainment streaming subscribers respond to this development, and secondly, how streaming subscribers negotiate local Indonesian shows on these various SVOD channels. The research was conducted by distributing questionnaires filled out by 264 respondents and then followed by qualitative interviews through FGDs with 25 participants who identified themselves as heavy viewers. Research shows that Netflix is still the most-subscribed streaming channel, although many also subscribe to it illegally. Regarding local content, participants expect Netflix to imitate similar streaming channels by producing works by local Indonesian directors, not just as a distribution channel. Indonesia as the largest streaming subscribers in Asia deserve recognition not only in terms of audienceship, but also in terms of auteurship by producing netflix originals by Indonesian filmmakers.

The Nigerian Telecommunications Industry is classified as the fastest-growing and most competitive Telecommunications industry in the world. It has the largest subscriber base in Africa with over 150 million subscribers. Due to the increased competitiveness in the telecommunication industry in Nigeria, customer retention has become the focus of telecommunication providers. It is in this light that this paper is built. Hence, the general objective of the paper is to determine the effect of experience marketing on customer retention in the Nigerian Telecommunications industry. The study made use of primary data gotten through a validated set of structured questionnaires which was distributed to a selected sample of 402 respondents within the six states of the south-south geo-political zone of the Niger Delta Area of Nigeria, which are Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa, Calabar, Edo, Delta and River States. The paper adopted correlation and regression analysis to test the formulated research questions and hypotheses. After the analysis, it was discovered that there was a strong and positive effect of experience marketing on customer retention in the Nigerian Telecommunications industry. The study, therefore, concluded that Customer Service Quality, Customer Brand Relationship, and Customer Emotional Experience are good indicators and dimensions of Experience Marketing that could increase the degree to which customer retention is enhanced in Telecommunication Firms in Nigeria. Hence, it was recommended, among others, that Telecommunication operators in Nigeria must switch from the traditional marketing approach to an experience-based marketing strategy if they want to remain relevant and competitive in the globalised telecommunication industry.

Abstract Java Madura Bali (Jamali) system is the Indonesian largest grid, which contributes approximately 61%, with the Coal Thermal dominates by 59% and followed by the New Renewable Energy (NRE) of 9%. Solar Photovoltaic Power Plants (SPP) contribute only 1% from the NRE itself. Low voltage customers (TR) are approximately 61% with the residential contribute approximately 42%. The rates of the national SAIDI is 12.72 hours/subscriber/year and the national SAIFI is 9.25 times per subscriber/year. There is some challenge in regulating voltage in area with high penetration of solar PV, case of voltage fluctuation in response to the fluctuating of solar irradiance, as well as other factors such as load transient. This voltage fluctuation is proportional to the amount of current generated by the PV system and also proportional to the solar irradiance. Hydrogen energy storage (HES) is an alternative to NRE-based energy storage technology. Integrating solar PV with hydrogen energy storage and optimisation device may mitigate PV-driven voltage fluctuation, preventing excessive reserve power flow on the grid. The hydrogen energy storage system can cover variation of the loads at the nearby solar PV system in the microgrid and the ability to manage those loads, as mentioned in the energy management system. Integrating the HES within Solar PV system can improve the curve shape, improve system reliability and voltage stability, especially in the Residential Microgrid. Also may build the opportunities to earn new revenues from wholesale electricity markets, enhancing the reliability rate and competitive monetary value.

The Indian telecom market is the second-largest telecommunication market in the world. The market is fiercely competitive due to the rising subscriber base and increasing demand for network connectivity. The present study tries to analyze the strategies and policies that determine the survival of the mobile telecom operators of India. The focus is also on the benefits and drawbacks of various factors that eventually lead to the success or failure of these companies. The study is based on an exploratory research method where 30 doctoral theses have been reviewed, and secondary sources, namely valuable reports, and websites, have been referred to. Gleaned from the literature review, it is found that with efficient policy-making, the Indian telecom industry deliberated on infrastructural support, technological advancement, and industrial development. The success of an organization depends not only on effective telecom policy structure but also on customer loyalty, customer retention, marketing mix, service quality, and corporate image of the telecom operators. All these factors positively influenced customer perception and satisfaction and motivated customers’ buying decision to have a competitive edge in the telecom market.

Along with the global telecom sector, the Indian telecom market has evolved over the past three decades. From the first generation technology in the 1990s, the telecom industry in India offered 4G services in 2012. From microwave technology it has moved into underground fibre optic cables, enhancing the quality and variety of telecom services. Ahead of several emerging markets, subscriber demand in India shifted to data from voice telephony. Subscriber base grew substantially, but average revenue per user (ARPU) has fallen significantly. Intense competition has led to consolidation in the industry. The mobile services faced market disruption from Reliance Jio (R-Jio). The latter launched a strategy of predatory pricing resulting in data wars. R-Jio’s network was based on 4G technology, while other competitors were still offering 2G- and 3G-based services. In comparison to competitors, R-Jio laid more fibre optic cables. Therefore, it could effortlessly upgrade the services offerings to 5G and other future technologies, which competitors could not match so they experienced fall in profits or outright losses. R-Jio also moved into providing fibre-to-the-home technology accompanied with ultra-high-speed internet that could provide a host of entertainment features. As a virtual knee-jerk reaction to the severity of the competitive challenge facing it, Vodafone initiated merger talks with Idea Cellular and soon achieved its culmination. This merger resulted in the largest telecom service company in India. However, Vodafone Idea Ltd.’s balance sheet was over leveraged, rendering it incapable of playing the price cutting game. Besides, it was unclear if it would be able to build the formidable infrastructure required to invest in 5G spectrum, offer superior content as well as smart devices. It soon became obvious that the merger could catapult Vodafone to the pole position in the industry but staying and flourishing there would require it to be more resourceful, imaginative and aggressive. Balesh Sharma, the CEO of Vodafone-Idea Ltd., and his top management team had to respond to the challenges the company was facing and emerge successful.

Organizational performance monitoring and management are crucial in today’s fast-paced corporate world. Performance metrics show how much an organization improves. The study’s objective was to quantify the non-financial performance metrics (NPMs) in the telecommunication business performance from the customers’ perspective. The method of quantitative research and standardized questionnaire was used to obtain primary data from Nepal’s renowned and the largest telecommunication corporation cell phone subscriber. The questionnaire contained three general demographics-related inquiries and 32 non-financial performance metrics on a 6-point Likert-type scale. The study gathered a total of 389 responses using a convenience sampling technique. The findings revealed that non-financial performance metrics contributed to around 54% of the success and capabilities of Nepalese telecommunications enterprises. The study resulted in the development of a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the performance of the emerging market for telecommunications services using non-financial performance criteria. The study confirmed Adhikari and Chalise’s (2021) conclusions that the Nepalese telecommunication industry’s performance assessment has been a significant managerial instrument, evolving to reflect strategic aims by including non-financial performance criteria. Non-financial performance measurements help the company integrate its business performance with its strategy, enhancing market success.

The Indian telecom industry is one of the fastest growing in the world and second largest mobile market globally. The Indian cell phone market is characterized by a large subscriber base (545 million connections as on May, 2010, expected to reach 876.6 million in 2013), low average revenue per user (INR 209 as on March 2009) and high churn rates (53.2% in 2009, and is expected to increase to 59.6% in 2013). The Indian consumers are enjoying a wide range of services along with the world�s lowest local call rates. The mobile phone operators in India are faced with the challenge of reducing customer churn in the ever-increasing prepaid subscriber market. Under such circumstances, the success of mobile phone service providers in India mainly depends on developing innovative schemes to increase customer loyalty. In service organizations, customer loyalty is considered as prime determinant of long-term financial performance of firms. One of the crucial issues of today is to understand how or why a sense of loyalty develops in customers. Loyalty definitions and metrics are mostly in behavioural and attitudinal terms. Consensus is absent in the marketing literature on how loyalty should be conceptualized and measured in the service industry. The present study addresses both the conceptual and measurement issues related to customer loyalty amongst the cell phone users. Building on existing literature, the antecedents of customer loyalty are reassessed in a service setting namely, customer satisfaction, trust, commitment, corporate image, and switching costs. This paper reports the development and validation of scales for measuring customer loyalty and its antecedents. The scale development and validation process was divided into three phases. Phase 1 consisted of the item generation process, assessment of content validity, and initial purification of measures. Item analysis and exploratory factor analysis were used on data collected from 250 postgraduate business students of a major university in India for initial purification of the instrument. In Phase 2, additional data were collected from 855 cell phone users in northern India to assess the latent factor structure through confirmatory factor analysis. In Phase 3, the discriminant validity and convergent validity of the measures were established. The managerial implications of the major findings of this study are as follows: It contributes to the existing literature by developing a theory-based framework for understanding the direct effects of satisfaction, trust and commitment, switching costs and corporate image on behavioural and attitudinal loyalty. By measuring loyalty as composite measure consisting of both behavioural loyalty and attitudinal loyalty, it provides evidence of the multidimensional nature of loyalty construct. Using data collected from mobile phone users, the reliability and validity of the scale are established. The newly refined and validated measures can be used by future researchers to study customer loyalty and its antecedent factors. The loyalty measures developed in this study provides managers with an easy tool to identify attitudinal and behavioural differences among customers. Marketing managers can draw meaningful distinctions between customers who buy out of habit and those who buy because of emotional attachment to the company.

My first contact with the Lawtel service was when we initiated a trial of the database for the Law School at the University of Birmingham in the mid-1990s. Following that trial we decided not to subscribe – a decision which seemed to confound the sales representative at the time. However, about nine to twelve months later we had a second trial. This was largely “encouraged” by new members of staff who had joined the School in the intervening period and by the fact that the service had been revamped and relaunched. Following that trial we took out a subscription. My own continuing inclination was not to subscribe. But there was enough of a feeling in the School at that time for me to accept the wishes of my academic colleagues. I have subsequently moved to the University of Nottingham Law School and although we also subscribe, some of the reasons that influenced my decision not to want to subscribe to the service persist today and they are as follows.

We consider the structure of the social graph of VKontakte social network users — members of groups promoting the criminal youth subculture of AUE (banned in Russia as an extremist organization). We show that this phenomenon cannot be judged as a large-scale and ramified criminal organization because about 90% of subscribers of AUE groups are unfamiliar with each other. We reveal that non-isolated members of these groups (i.e. remaining 10% of all subscribers) do not form a single connected subgraph, but are included in one of 24 separate connected subgraphs. The largest connected subgraph consists of 59 nodes. This study is for the city of Irkutsk because it is one of the places where this subculture originated. In the engineering part of our work, this study is based on using of the application programming interface (API) of the above social network and a set of libraries for the high-level programming language Python 3.7.

Foreign investments represent a well known topic in the literature which has resulted from their economic, financial, technological, managerial and social contribution at the national and regional level of the receptive country. North-West region is part of the richer and more developed regions of Romania. Based on the statistical data provided by NTRO (2018, p.24), North-West region of Romania is ranked on the third position by the number of companies with foreign participation in the share capital and on the fourth position in terms of the value of the total subscribed capital in companies with foreign participation. The main objective of our study is to analyze the distribution of the number of registered companies with foreign participation in the share capital between the counties of North-West region of Romania and also to analyze the evolution of the value of subscribed capital in companies with foreign participation in the share capital within the counties of this region. We also analyzed the evolution of some selected indicators that we consider relevant for assessing the level of economic development of the counties located in North-West region of Romania. After pointing out the existing disparities in the level of development of the region’s counties, an important finding of our study is that there are major intra-regional disparities regarding both the value of subscribed capital and the number of registered companies with foreign participation in the share capital. There is a clear separation between the counties Cluj, Bihor and the rest of the region’s counties. Between 1991 and 2017, Cluj and Bihor counties attracted the largest number of foreign investors and recorded the highest values of the total subscribed capital in companies with foreign participation. At the opposite pole there are Bistriţa-Năsăud and Sălaj counties. This paper also provides a ranking of North-West region’s counties according to the two aspects regarding foreign participation, subject to analysis, i.e. the number of registered companies with foreign participation in the share capital and the value of subscribed capital.

The Library for Natural Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences possesses unique collections of the national and foreign science literature. It acts as a federal STI authority in the natural and engineering sciences. Therefore, one of the Library’s key functions is delivering materials (originals and fragment copies) from its collection to other libraries within the ILL system. The RAS Library for Natural Sciences heads the country’s largest centralized library system (CLS) embracing 49 affiliates of research organizations in Moscow region. The CLS collections, including those of the Central Library, make the single distributed collection to provide services to ILL subscribers. The peculiar feature of the Library’s ILL services is that it delivers materials to its subscribers (the CLS libraries) not only from the CLS collections alone but also from other Moscow and Russian major library collections. The authors describe the computerized system designed at the Russian Academy of Sciences Library for Natural Sciences and characterize the used ILL technology. The structure of the information base comprises ‘Clients’ and ‘Orders’ units. Order dispatching and cash settlements with subscribers are provided by the system’s management unit; the retrieval and statistical tasks are also accomplished. The user unit supports order generation based on union e-catalogs. Specific features of order generation based on various Internet-catalogs, i. e. journals, books and periodicals, image catalogs of national and foreign books, are examined.

Methods: This study adopted both longitudinal and naturalistic controlled trial designs. It examined clinical outcomes in young adult (≤26 years old) subscribers of Text4Hope who completed surveys at baseline and six weeks and compared clinical parameters in two groups of subscribers. The first group comprised the intervention group (IG) (young adult subscribers who received once-daily supportive text messages for six weeks and completed sixth-week evaluation measures between 26 April and 12 July 2020), and the second group was the control group (CG) (young adult subscribers who joined Text4Hope in the same time frame and completed a baseline survey and were yet to receive any text messages). The prevalence of moderate to high stress, anxiety, and depression was measured at baseline and six weeks in the longitudinal study and between the two groups for the naturalistic controlled study using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Inferential statistics, including the t-test, McNemar test, chi-square, and binary logistic regression analyses, were used to evaluate the differences in the prevalence and severity of the psychological symptoms. Results: In the longitudinal study, of the 9214 subscribers to Text4Hope who completed the baseline survey, 1047 (11.4%) were identified as youth. For the young adult subscribers who completed both the baseline and sixth-week surveys (n = 114), a significant reduction in the prevalence of moderate to high stress (8%) and likely GAD (20%) from baseline to six weeks was reported. Similarly, there was a significant reduction in the mean scores on the PSS-10, GAD-7, and Composite Mental Health score but not the PHQ-9 from baseline to six weeks. The largest reduction in mean scores was for the GAD-7 scale (18.4%), with a small effect size overall. For the naturalistic study, the IG included 173 young adult subscribers of Text4Hope who completed the sixth-week survey compared to 92 subscribers in the CG who completed the baseline survey during the designated period. There was a significantly lower prevalence for likely Moderate Depressive Disorder (MDD) (25.2%) and suicidal thoughts/thoughts of self-harm (48.4%), with a small effect size in the IG compared to the CG. Similarly, lower mean scores were reported for all outcome variables in the IG compared to the CG, with a small to medium effect size. The receipt of daily supportive text messages for six weeks resulted in significantly lower odds of both likely GAD and experiencing thoughts of self-harm or death wish while controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Conclusions: The Text4Hope service is an effective tool for mental health support for young adult subscribers. Young adults receiving the service exhibited a reduction in psychological symptoms, including thoughts of self-harm or death wish. This population-level intervention program can be used to effectively support young adult mental health and in suicide prevention programs.

Kilkari is one of the largest maternal mobile messaging programmes in the world. It makes weekly prerecorded calls to new and expectant mothers and their families from the fourth month of pregnancy until 1-year post partum. The programme delivers reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health information directly to subscribers’ phones. However, little is known about the reach of Kilkari among different subgroups in the population, or the differentiated benefits of the programme among these subgroups. In this analysis, we assess differentials in eligibility, enrolment, reach, exposure and impact across well-known proxies of socioeconomic position—that is, education, caste and wealth. Data are drawn from a randomised controlled trial (RCT) in Madhya Pradesh, India, including call data records from Kilkari subscribers in the RCT intervention arm, and the National Family Health Survey-4, 2015. The analysis identifies that disparities in household phone ownership and women’s access to phones create inequities in the population eligible to receive Kilkari, and that among enrolled Kilkari subscribers, marginalised caste groups and those without education are under-represented. An analysis of who is left behind by such interventions and how to reach those groups through alternative communication channels and platforms should be undertaken at the intervention design phase to set reasonable expectations of impact. Results suggest that exposure to Kilkari has improved levels of some health behaviours across marginalised groups but has not completely closed pre-existing gaps in indicators such as wealth and education.

Abstract Subscribers to cable television typically pay Franchise and Public–Educational–Governmental (PEG) Fees. Ostensibly, these monthly fees exist to compensate communities for the private use of public goods and to bolster the marketplace of ideas. Little empirical research, however, assesses the utility of these fees as policy mechanisms. In this article, we track the existence and dispensation of the fees in the 20 largest American cities by examining their recent annual budgets. This provides a foundation to consider the fees' contributions in the context of ongoing legal challenges to their existence and the increase of digital television services beyond their purview.

Abstract This paper presents the findings of a study on the performance of the initial public offerings (IPO) of shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx), which has been the largest IPO market in the world since 2009. One indicator of the success of an IPO is its subscription rate, which can be used as a proxy for the level of investor confidence in the stock being offered. This paper examines the relationship between the performance of an IPO and its subscription rate, and the corporate factors that may affect an investor's decision to subscribe to an IPO. The Hong Kong evidence can help shed light on the importance of agency cost in the pricing of IPOs.

The point of departure for this debate (and the SAA forum) was the question ‘does archaeological theory exist?’ Matthew Johnson's answer is wisely mixed, but mostly negative. Archaeological theory does not exist, he tells us, because there is hardly any distinctive archaeological way of theoretical thinking ‘to which most or even the largest group of archaeologists would willingly or knowingly subscribe’ (p. 117). I shall not spend much time on Johnson's denial, which for several reasons may well be justified, just note that if we apply his rather rigorous consensual criterion to other disciplines, we would probably be searching in vain also for any sociological, economic or even philosophical theory – which Johnson still seems quite convinced do exist.

To the Editor.— In the past I have been critical of the dearth of genetic communications in pediatric journals such as Pediatrics. The genetic articles, instead, have been published largely in genetic specialty journals to which most pediatricians do not subscribe. When the late Stanley Wright was alive (he was a pediatrician and pioneering medical geneticist at UCLA), he urged me and other fledgling pediatric geneticists to report our results and their meaning in the pediatric journals.

There has been exponential growth in the numbers of ‘digital development’ programmes seeking to leverage technology to solve systemic challenges. However, despite promising results and a shift from pilots to scale-ups, many have failed to realise their full potential. This paper reflects on lessons learnt from scaling and transitioning one of the largest mobile health programmes in the world to the Indian government. The complementary suite of services was designed by BBC Media Action to strengthen families’ reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health behaviours. Mobile Academy was a training course to refresh frontline health workers’ (FLHWs) knowledge and improve their interpersonal communication skills. Mobile Kunji was a job aid to support FLHWs’ interactions with families. Kilkari delivered weekly audio information to families’ phones to reinforce FLHWs’ counselling. As of April 2019, when Mobile Academy and Kilkari were transitioned to the government, 206 000 FLHWs had graduated and Kilkari had reached 10 million subscribers. Lessons learnt include the following: (1) private sector business models are challenging in low-resource settings; (2) you may pilot ‘apples’ but scale ‘oranges’; (3) trade-offs are required between ideal solution design and affordability; (4) programme components should be reassessed before scaling; (5) operational viability at scale is a prerequisite for sustainability; (6) consider the true cost of open-source software; (7) taking informed consent in low-resource settings is challenging; (8) big data offer promise, but social norms and SIM change constrain use; (9) successful government engagements require significant capacity; (10) define governance structures and roadmaps up front.

With more than 500 million subscribers, India is the second largest mobile phone market in the world after China. In the last decade, an average of 15 Telecom operators has started operations in India. The market has been flamboyant for Indian as well as Foreign investors. Many of them are entering through the Merger and Acquisition route. The Governing Regulatory Authorities have a responsibility that no irregularity occurs and that every investor is given equal opportunity. Spectrum which is a constrained essential input for mobile services is also highly fragmented leading to possible industry inefficiencies. This paper critically examines the Merger and Acquisition scenario in the Telecom industry in India and the current policy framework that provides policy prescriptions for the future.

In the article, an Instagram page is considered as part of mass communications which brings money and other benefits to its holder. Deep interviews with Russian Instagram bloggers confirmed our hypothesis: each account represents a separate medium with its own information and advertising policy. The article explores such parameters as content planning, interaction with subscribers, advertisers and other bloggers, as well as ROI assessment via the Statistics tool. Promotion in Instagram is achieved through the observance of aesthetic norms and thematic and stylistic unity. In-depth interviews with domestic bloggers confirmed our hypothesis: each separate account is actually a mini-media with its information and advertising policies. The author of the blog thus functions as a curator, or "issuing editor": there is a careful selection of photos that correspond to the concept, themes, and most importantly-the style of the account. There is an important difference between a business SM manager and an independent Instagram blogger: while the former makes content plans for approval with the client, the latter does not rely on long-term planning; instead, he/she procures posts the night before or creates them just before publication. This achieves the effect of sincerity, the sense of "being in the moment", which subscribers appreciate. Graphic content plays the primary role in the promotion of the profile. Additional coverage is provided by hashtags, interaction with subscribers, participation in the #sfs flashmob and symmetric content exchange between bloggers of the same level. It is possible to measure ROI via independent audit by means of the "Stats" tool built into Instagram. This allows to better understand the audience and adjust communication to expand influence. Cooperation with brands starts on average from 10K subscribers. The blogger presents his/her audience and proposes a joint project. The success of advertising placement largely depends on how well the ad post corresponds with the established aesthetics of the profile. Affiliate publications are placed in the main profile, as well as in Stories-a special section with photos and 15-second videos, which are deleted 24 hours after the publication. Reach of such publications is lower, but they are better perceived by subscribers, and placement in Stories costs advertisers cheaper than in the grid. The greatest coverage comes from getting a post featured in the "Trends" section; however, this is regulated by proprietary algorithms within Instagram, and is not possible to predict.

As founding subscribers will know, the establishment of QAR in 1984 was prompted by my perception that too little substantive archaeological information was being published. Major journals were largely publishing overviews, preliminary reports and syntheses and a great deal of the detail pertaining to sites lay in theses and reports which were often difficult to access. Thus, over the past eight years QAR has provided a vehicle for the wider dissemination of such information, as least that which pertains to research in and adjacent to Queensland.

The telecommunication industry in Bangladesh, with the global trends, has been considerably grown up during the last two decades. At the end of December 2020, the number of cellular phone subscribers reached 170.137 million under four operators in the country. The telecommunication industry has been experiencing increased competition because the government has introduced uniform call rates for all operators and launched mobile number portability (MNP) in 2018, resulting in an easy switching for a customer to other operators. This situation has originated a great challenge for the cellular service providers in Bangladesh to retain the existing customers, especially the young subscribers who have more switching trends. The hyper-competition in the industry also induced mobile operators to work hard to attract new customers and retain the existing ones. The paper, therefore, aims to find out the determinants of young customer retention in the cellular industry of Bangladesh. This study is exploratory based on primary data collected from 415 young cellular phone users of the age of below 40 years in the two largest cities (Dhaka and Chittagong) in Bangladesh. The study examined eight determining factors of customer retention using the statistical tools: mean and standard deviation. The study found that price perception, customer satisfaction, switching barriers, and brand image are the strongest customer retention determinants. This study's findings have important implications for cellular phone operators to tailor their services and strategic priorities for maximizing customer satisfaction, loyalty, and retention to gain market growth and higher returns.

<p>The increasing number of internet users in Indonesia, especially mobile internet users, has changed consumer habits and behavior in consuming entertainment. Internet penetration leads to the increasing consumption of streaming video on demand (SVOD) services in Indonesia, which is increasingly popular. Netflix is one of the largest SVOD service providers in the world that has a customer subscription system. The tight competition in the SVOD industry caused Netflix to experience a significant reduction in the number of global subscribers. Therefore, the researcher's goal is to predict which factors influence the consumer's decision-making process to continue to use Netflix in view of the model of consumer attitudes toward technology adoption. The research data come from non-probability sampling with judgmental sampling techniques of 237 Netflix’s subscribers across Indonesia that have subscribed Netflix for more than three months, and having an intensity of use for 2-5 hours or more per day. This research was conducted with a quantitative descriptive method using Structural Equation Modelling method. This study <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> </span>indicate that there’s a positive relationship between perceived system quality and perceived enjoyment of attitude to use. Furthermore, there is a negative influence between the perceived price level and attitude to use. This study also reaffirms that the SVOD attitude to use is a predictor of continuance intention to use SVOD. This research also proved that perceived ease of use, perceived content quality, customization, and perceived psychological risk did not affect the attitude to use SVOD.</p><p><em><strong>Abstrak dalam Bahasa Indonesia.</strong> Dengan semakin meningkatnya jumlah pengguna internet di Indonesia, khususnya dari sisi pengguna internet seluler, telah mengubah kebiasaan dan perilaku konsumen dalam mengonsumsi hiburan.

One of the main constituents of the so-called Islamofascism is, in the eyes of those who subscribe to this conception, the close affinity of Arabs (and sometimes, Muslims) to Nazi ideology and possibly practice. To bolster this notion, its proponents do basically three things: first, they try to prove that a massive majority of Arabs took a pro-Nazi stand during the Third Reich and especially during World War II and that important Arab figures collaborated with Nazi Germany during the War. Secondly, they point to widespread—real and alleged—anti-Jewish beliefs among present-day Arabs. And thirdly, they claim that there is a personal, political and ideological continuity between both phenomena and that, thus, present-day Arab Judeophobia has the same character, scope and possible effect as the anti-Semitism of the Nazis. During the War, so the argument goes, Arab attitudes were part and parcel of Nazi ideology, and they largely retained this quality although, after the War, Nazism was overcome in Europe. In this article, three more recent publications which subscribe to the above mentioned argument will be critically discussed.

The need to meet the demands of subscribers of wireless services is imperative to Global System for Mobile (GSM) Communication companies. These demands, which revolve around the maintenance of good network coverage and improved Quality of Service (QoS), depend largely on the nature of cellular network masts. Greedy Algorithm Model was implemented on network masts for small size populated areas to effectively have optimal network coverage. Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM) and Java programming language was used for its implementation. The analysis of the results shows that Greedy Algorithm performed optimizing cellular network masts hoisting optimally for small populated areas.

Society 5.0 represents an opportunity to transform the economy and create a digital society with the goal of long-term sustainable development and economic growth. There is a growing importance of boosting ICT as an effective and efficient means of achieving this transformation, and Target 9c of the UN Sustainable Development Goals is to ‘Significantly increase access to information and communications technology and strive to provide universal and affordable access to the Internet in least developed countries’. Mobile telecommunication systems have become the most effective and convenient means of communicating in the world, and as such, they are revolutionizing business operations. Nigeria is the fastest growing telecommunication market in Africa, with approximately 298 million subscribers accommodated by over 53,000 base transceiver stations (BTSs) which are largely concentrated in urban areas. As a result of increasing subscribers, all mobile network service providers in Nigeria are building new BTSs, often without considering existing infrastructure. This has led to a proliferation of masts, defacing the environment and causing unnecessary environmental pollution as BTSs are largely powered by diesel generators. It is therefore becoming paramount for the telecommunication regulatory body in Nigeria to enforce principles of infrastructure sharing and the colocation of sites for all mobile network service provider BTSs to improve network availability, reliability, scalability, customer satisfaction and sustainability. This paper argues, through the development of ICT tools and their application to a case study, that infrastructure sharing and colocation of sites is not only feasible if supported correctly but also offers the potential to reduce operational and capital expenditure, reduce the number of BTSs required for the rapidly growing mobile telecoms industry in Nigeria and in doing so reduce environmental pollution.

The recent high-profile financial difficulties of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, the largest HMO in Massachusetts and consistently rated as one of the top ten HMOs in the nation, shed light on many problems common to health insurers throughout the country. This article explores those difficulties in the context of the short but complicated history of Harvard Pilgrim, and its regulatory and competitive environments. The state legislation which made a receivership proceeding possible for Harvard Pilgrim offered some protection for subscribers, but failed to provide the means for achieving a long term solution. The statute merely presented a method for staving off immediate collapse by temporarily protecting the plan from dissolution, and forcing the plan's contracting providers to continue delivering care even if owed money by the plan. The article concludes by drawing lessons for understanding and ideally avoiding similar managed care nearfatalities in the future.

Until very recently, the commercialization of Earth observation systems has largely occurred in two ways: either through the detuning of government satellites or the repurposing of NASA (or other science) data for commercial use. However, the convergence of cloud computing and low-cost satellites is enabling Earth observation companies to tailor observation data to specific markets. Now, underserved constituencies, such as agriculture and energy, can tap into Earth observation data that is provided at a cadence, resolution and cost that can have a real impact to their bottom line. To connect with these markets, OmniEarth fuses data from a variety of sources, synthesizes it into useful and valuable business information, and delivers it to customers via web or mobile interfaces. The “secret sauce” is no longer about having the highest resolution imagery, but rather it is about using that imagery – in conjunction with a number of other sources – to solve complex problems that require timely and contextual information about our dynamic and changing planet. OmniEarth improves subscribers’ ability to visualize the world around them by enhancing their ability to see, analyze, and react to change in real time through a solutions-as-a-service platform.

The study sought to assess differences in innovation practices in the telecommunication industry, customer perception of service innovations, and how service innovation practices influence the loyalty of mobile subscribers. A quantitative research approach was adopted to study 250 samples from active subscribers of the leading mobile telecommunication companies in Ghana. Descriptive and regression analytical approaches were used to analyze the study’s objectives. The result indicates service innovation practices significantly influence loyalty. Innovative service concepts, innovative service processes, and new technologies significantly influence customer loyalty with the latter having the strongest influence. The study contributes to the scanty literature on the mentioned subject within the Ghanaian context. Additionally, this study focused on the service sector. Despite the sector’s contribution to the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), previous studies have largely focused on the manufacturing sector. Based on the findings, the study recommends that the management of MTN, Vodafone, and Airtel-Tigo in collaboration with R&D and Marketing departments must invest financial and cognitive resources to develop innovative technologies, processes, and services to address the service convenience, efficiency, and effectiveness needs of customers. The study further recommends that financial and cognitive investment should be based on market and consumer research, and customer interaction. This study recommends similar studies using qualitative research methods in other industries such as banking and insurance.

The objective of this research is to determine the importance of the implementation of a corporate governance system in the Mexican company Megacable in its development, from the review of the theoretical and empirical literature. Therefore, a descriptive and explanatory study was carried out that describes the concepts related to the aforementioned elements. and financial reports of two periods are analyzed, as well as the main attributes that explain the success of the company. Among the main results obtained are that the Megacable group is the cable operator; Mexico’s largest internet and telephony in terms of subscribers, its structure as a controlling company that is managed through a series of subsidiaries and controlling companies and smaller operating companies in the same sector. It can be concluded that implementing efficient corporate governance among small and medium enterprises will have a clearer way of how to implement and execute the plans and best practices that will allow them to be leaders in their sector.

For a variety of reasons, the study and teaching of both United States history in general and the history of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era in particular should be thriving in Canada more than in other nations. Geographic proximity and shared language would advance this probability, even if the pervasive presence of American mass media did not. For students in Canadian colleges and universities, a combination of exposure to American doings through television and little prior academic opportunity to explore the history of the United States often whets an appetite for study at the post-secondary level. Interest in the GAPE arises — if for no other reason — from the fact that during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, both Canadians and Americans witnessed the emergence of corporate capitalism as a, perhaps the, principal shaper of their societies. At the last count in December 2001, Canada contained the largest concentration of H-SHGAPE subscribers outside the United States (25).

A clear understanding of destination image is crucial for developing effective marketing and positioning strategies. The purpose of the study is to examine the images of Brookings perceived by actual tourists. An online questionnaire was developed and sent to email subscribers of the largest local event center. A total of 344 valid responses were received. Overall tourists had positive perceptions of Brookings as a tourism destination. The study identified six Brookings’ image dimensions, including Outdoor Activities and Natural Scenery, Atmosphere, Tourism Infrastructure, Value for Money and Convenience, Historic Attractions, and College Town Style. The social and cultural environment is the most favored element in Brookings. As a college town, Brookings was differentiated from other rural tourism destinations. It is suggested that the city and the university work in partnership to increase visitation both to the campus and the community. To enhance Brookings’ image, destination marketers should focus on the low-rated image items and incorporate them in destination marketing materials.

Purpose – Despite being the second largest mobile market in Latin America regarding subscribers, Mexico’s penetration levels remain lower than the regional averages. The aim of this paper is to evaluate whether the Mexican 2013 Telecommunications and Broadcasting Reform helped mitigate or exacerbate the digital divide. In particular, we evaluate if the Reform had an impact on fixed-line internet penetration in Mexico.
Methodology/approach/design – For the assessment, the 2010 Census and 2015 Intercensal Survey data used to create impact indexes through Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) estimations.
Findings – Through a quintile analysis were confronted by results, with the intention of showing the average of internet penetration in each income group. The data obtained suggest that internet penetration had positive variations in all the quintiles indicating that recent regulatory changes in telecommunications matter had helped to reduce the digital divide.
Practical implications – The poor and vulnerable groups remain at the digital exclusion; these groups need more digital inclusion actions.

The largest video hosting service in the world is currently the YouTube platform. Having originated in the USA in 2005 the video hosting service very quickly expanded the scope of its geographical presence due to the ability to use the service in different countries. YouTube's monetization was based on an advertising model from the very beginning. The YouTube Premium service created inside the platform (previously called YouTube Red) allows you to watch content without ads by subscription. But the content model is not developing so rapidly and main financial flows continue to come from advertising. That is why it is worth understanding the possibilities of advertising on YouTube. The research identified integrated advertising on YouTube blogs which were selected according to various criteria: total number of subscribers, broadcast language, regular content publications (at least 1 publication per quarter), genre, ranking position and number of views. Advertisements were found present in all analyzed blogs while the types of advertising varied depending on the genre of the blog. The time a blogger spent on advertising also largely depended on the genre characteristics of the blog. Currently, one of the most popular types of advertising is self-promotion, since it is directly related to third-party bloggers' earnings. In the current research we analyzed advertising in the blogosphere based on monitoring several diverse thematic blogs and identified most common forms of advertising. The attempt to classify advertising opportunities in the video hosting user content seems important to us because it allows us to streamline the terminology and in the future develop a system of interaction between channels and advertisers.

India is one of the most populous country in the world. In last few years, it has shown unprecedented development in its digital infrastructure. India has the second-largest telecom subscribers and the 3rd largest Internet users in the world. India is known to be a young nation with a 65% population below the age of 35. In 2020, the average age of an Indian is 29 years, people are more techno-savvy and use Internet more. The Covid-19 pandemic has increased social media usage in India. This research studied the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Indian consumer behaviour towards social media. The basic objective was to study the change in behaviour of people towards social media pre and post the start of the pandemic. The literature review was done to understand this change. It was evident from the study that people have started using social media more after the pandemic was started. It was used to gather information about the products, compare the products, understand the review of products, and finally purchase the product. The study also found out about the social media platforms that are more popular in India. It was also observed from the study that people will continue to use social media even afterlife will come to normal post-pandemic.

I write with the aim of keeping subscribers and readers informed about forthcoming changes concerning Polar Record, the journal of the Scott Polar Research Institute, that is published by Cambridge University Press. Many will be aware that the journal dates from 1931 and that its name arises from the need to record activity in polar areas, and in those days this largely consisted in setting out the heroic deeds of the various pioneering expeditions. The very first issue (priced at 1 shilling or 5 pence in today's currency!) contained information about Mawson's British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition, Byrd's first Antarctic Expedition and referred to the then recent deaths of Nansen, Sverdrup and Royds.

(1) Introduction: Most studies rely on in-hospital data to predict cardiovascular risk and do not include prehospital information that is substantially important for early decision making. The aim of the study was to define clinical parameters in the prehospital setting, which may affect clinical outcomes. (2) Methods: In this population-based study, we performed a retrospective analysis of emergency calls that were made by patients to the largest private emergency medical services (EMS) in Israel, SHL Telemedicine Ltd., who were treated on-site by the EMS team. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Mortality was evaluated at three time points: 1, 3, and 12 months’ follow-up. The first EMS prehospital measurements of the systolic blood pressure (SBP) were recorded and analyzed. Logistic regression analyses were performed. (3) Results: A total of 64,320 emergency calls were included with a follow-up of 12 months post index EMS call. Fifty-five percent of patients were men and the mean age was 70.2 ± 13.1 years. During follow-up of 12 months, 7.6% of patients died. Age above 80 years (OR 3.34; 95% CI 3.03–3.69, p < 0.005), first EMS SBP ≤ 130 mm Hg (OR 2.61; 95% CI 2.36–2.88, p < 0.005), dyspnea at presentation (OR 2.55; 95% CI 2.29–2.83, p < 0001), and chest pain with ischemic ECG changes (OR 1.95; 95% CI 1.71–2.23, p < 0.001) were the highest predictors of 1 month mortality and remained so for mortality at 3 and 12 months. In contrast, history of hypertension and first EMS prehospital SBP ≥ 160 mm Hg were significantly associated with decreased mortality at 1, 3 and 12 months. (4) Conclusions: We identified risk predictors for all-cause mortality in a large cohort of patients during prehospital EMS calls. Age over 80 years, first EMS-documented prehospital SBP < 130 mm Hg, and dyspnea at presentation were the most profound risk predictors for short- and long-term mortality. The current study demonstrates that in prehospital EMS call settings, several parameters can be used to improve prioritization and management of high-risk patients.
