Abstract This article attempts to explain how mobile phones influence how Sri Lankan Tamil refugees perceive cultural, psychological, and physical borders. Grounded in the information and communications technology (ICT) literature and diaspora communications, the lead author conducted twelve in-depth interviews with Mandapam camp residents in Tamilnadu, India, during Summer 2013. Results indicate that while camp refugees considered Sri Lanka their “motherland,” fear of government surveillance coupled with skepticism regarding the peace process impedes their return, even though official hostilities have ceased. However, mobile communications allow them to create a virtual community, which is important because camp life essentially separates them from both India and Sri Lanka.

The article is devoted to the analysis of legal acts of such countries as Ukraine, Argentina, Brazil, India, Turkey, Ireland, Great Britain, Spain, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands on the use of mobile communications while driving. The author draws attention to the fact that in Ukraine, the legal regulation of the rules of use of mobile communications while driving is reflected in the traffic rules and the Code of Administrative Offenses, which do not prohibit their use in the «hands-free».
According to the analysis of the legislation of Argentina, Brazil, India, Turkey, Ireland, it can be stated that these countries have strict rules on the above issue: strictly prohibit drivers from using phones not only manually but also in «hands-free». Despite this. these countries are in the top 100 of road deaths.
The countries with the "safest situation" on the roads include: Great Britain, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands. The legislation of these countries allows drivers to use mobile phones while driving in the «hands‑free» mode, but provides for large fines, penalty points, enshrined rights and responsibilities not only of drivers but also other road users, such as passengers, pedestrians.
It is possible to draw a conclusion based on the results of the analysis of national and international legislation on the regulation of the use of mobile communications while driving. Restraining factors of non-use mobile communications while driving are large fines, penalty points, clear rights and responsibilities for all road users; organize social campaigns, involve in such programs social networks, media insurance companies, car corporations, driving schools, etc.

Fifth Generation technology is proposed to be launched in India around 2020 and it is estimated to resolve the technological barriers to 4G technologies. The increased use of digital technology in all spheres of life has necessitated the use of efficient and reliable mobile communications. 5G has advantage over 4G in optimum use of technology. The paper discusses the legal and regulatory issues, feasibility in rural areas and architectural framework. The article highlights about the proposed 5G Architecture requirements, need of 5G, its launch in India and other suitable innovative technology that will suffice 5G operations smoothly. The article is basically written as a twofold. Extensive literature reviews on past studies of 5G and its assumed to be architectural features in near future are discussed based on current technological trends, innovations. Moreover, it is a descriptive and conceptual perspective. It is purely based on secondary data available in Internet and various other topic related research article publications. Lack of empirical data and 5G is not officially released worldwide, but except in some countries, it is given on a basis of beta testing unit. Practically 5G Mobile Technology will be launched in India around 2020 and only after that, comments would be taken into account. This paper discusses vividly about 5G penetration in rural India and its use in Big Data Analysis as small-scale cells called Heterogeneous networks.

<p>In the hasty budding plethoric technological space, mobile technology & devices play a noteworthy role. It’s imperative to take a cognizance of the fact that mobile market is contributing substantially to global economy as well as to an individual nation’s economy. Mobile devices market is predominantly consumer driven & this research work emphasizes on cross national comparative study among mobile consumers across India & USA. The study focuses on a thirty leading factors that influence consumers principally in their buying decision making process. An empirical survey of four hundred consumers was conducted across India & USA using a questionnaire. The study reveals that ‘Price’ is the pivotal factor that an Indian consumer considers at first place whereas an American buyer stresses upon ‘Brand Name’. Furthermore, it unveils that a US consumer looks for ‘EMI options’ for buying while Indian consumers concentrates on ‘Design of the device’. This study will aid mobile manufacturing firms to frame effective marketing strategies & help marketing managers to design effective marketing communications.</p>

Abstract: Courtesy the advancing technological innovations in the present day world we are gradually losing the touch and feel of actual money – currency notes as well as coins. This has its pluses as well as its minuses. The driving factors are manifold. The basic impetus to this has been the increasing technological advances in various fields – be it communications, security as well as the banking systems. World over there have been break throughs and these have all been responsible to place us a society where we are. In India the presence of a robust payment infrastructure and growing smartphone penetration has been primarily responsible for this tremendous growth. The article delves into the growth itself touching upon the various reasons which can be attributed to this, the actual (and unlikely) players who contributed to it and also tries to extrapolate the path ahead based on the status today in all spheres.

India’s cities are projected to grow by 300 million people by 2050, but this demographic transition may exacerbate fragile communal and infrastructural tensions. To address these challenges, the ‘Smart Cities’ agenda attempts to leverage India’s rapid embrace of technology to generate societal positive developmental outcomes in urban areas that emphasize the use of Internet and communications technologies (ICTs). However, local, regional and national government agencies struggle to balance embracing technology with inclusive development that protects civil rights and liberties. While the benefits are often stated, the acceleration of technology use in urban development can also create exclusionary cities, and many technologies that drive India’s modernization have also facilitated riots and violence between communities. This article explores these contradictions, examining scholarship on Smart Cities and ICTs in the context of the 2015–2016 Patel/Patidar agitation in Gujarat. We conclude by offering forward pathways for the Smart Cities and mobile technology agendas that support inclusive urban growth and development in India but are also mindful of civil liberties.

Abstract With advances in the mobile communications, many service-related tasks can be made quickly and easily. Mobile banking is one such service that has eliminated the need for a consumer to go to a branch to carry out many common transactions. In a country like India, where the last mile reach through brick-and-mortar banking facilities, mobile phones can complement the reach. This paper describes how mobile cloud architecture can be employed for banking and services to customers to enhance their banking experience as well as ensuring information security. This paper focuses on cloud-based risk architecture for banking solutions to address various issues related to mobile banking such as processing speed and storage capacity. Improved random forecast algorithm is used for the evaluation of the system. This proposed system achieves 99% of the system.

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to assess whether the dysfunctional structure of the Indian mobile communications sector has been improved by a large number of spectrum auctions during the period 2010-2016. Design/methodology/approach This paper provides a case study of developments in the Indian mobile communications sector primarily during the period 2010-2016. This period has witnessed a large number of spectrum auctions, the results of which are presented and analysed. The particular focus is upon the consequences of these auctions for the structure of the sector which began the period in what can best be described as a dysfunctional state. Findings The paper concludes that only limited progress has so far been made in improving the structure of the sector. This is due to factors such as political interference, delays in completing merger & acquisition (M&A) activity, badly organised auctions, a scarcity of the right amount of spectrum in the right places and a regional structure that inhibits operators from providing a nationwide presence. Practical implications The paper concludes that considerable progress still needs to be made: For example, political interference needs to be harmonised, auction prices need to become market-clearing and M&A activity needs to come to fruition. Originality/value The existing analysis of the sector has paid only limited attention to the significance of auctions for the structure of the sector, and this paper provides an analysis of all auctions and M&A activity virtually to the end of 2016, making it unusually up-to-date.

Snakebite envenoming causes up to 138,000 deaths and 400,000 permanently disabled victims worldwide every year. Flooding is one of the many factors that seems to influence the incidence of snakebite. The catastrophic floods from late 2018 in Kerala (India) were widely broadcast and are an example of how flooding events are related to the increased incidence of snakebite. This relationship has been mentioned regularly in scientific and grey literature, but usually quite scarcely in comparison to other topics linked to snakebite. Additionally, web media, mobile communications, and social media have started playing an important role not only in providing access to information on flooding-related snakebite events, but also in snakebite prevention at a larger scale. In order to better understand to what extent the relationship between snakebite incidence and flooding is reported and quantified and appraise the importance of mobile communications and social media in snakebite prevention and management, we performed multiple searches in generic (Google) and specialized (PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar) databases. We retrieved 68 scientific articles and 5 reports ranging from 1892 to 2018 mentioning or analyzing flooding and the increased incidence of snakebite. Additionally, we found 68 web media reports linking flooding and snakebite. This review indicates that the increase of snakebite incidence due to flooding has been repeatedly observed all over the world. This phenomenon could be exacerbated because of climate change, which is expected to increase the overall magnitude and frequency of flooding. However, it could also be mitigated by the role the Internet, mobile communications, and social media could play in snakebite prevention and human and animal rescue strategies during flooding.

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to discuss how minimum subsidy auctions have been implemented in Chile and India for Internet and mobile phone infrastructure to and identify lessons for governments considering reverse auctions as a tool. In a minimum subsidy auction (also known as a reverse auction), the government starts by offering the maximum funds available for a given public project; the company requiring smallest subsidy wins. Design/methodology/approach – The article investigates several case studies of subsidy auctions in both Chile and India. Findings – When firms compete for subsidies in reverse auctions, they have incentives to get the most result for the least funds. This furthers the government’s goal to achieve maximum public policy impact with minimum budget. Originality/value – For developing countries, very little research has been done on implementation of auctions in the communications sector.

The article examines the place and role of the public institutions and the economy digitalization in the implementation of the Indian innovation policy objectives such as the inclusiveness of innovations and the social problems of the country resolution on this basis. It is shown that digitalization reduces the cost and optimizes social communications, and as a result facilitates the interaction of the country’s citizens with public authorities, access of disadvantaged segments of the population to services that improve their quality of life, and activates their involvement in economic activity that can improve their standards of living. The article also examines the prerequisites that have been formed to implement large-scale digitalization in India. These are a digital identification system that has no analogues in the world, low cost mobile telephony services, a large number of mobile phone users, and a network of public broadband Internet access centers created by the state that covers the entire country. Thus, India has created a good base to provide access to electronic services for the general population. It is concluded that a broad base of digitalization was created due to the highly developed ICT industry in India. Examples of areas of digitalization include public services, healthcare, financial services, and agriculture. These are the areas where the social aspect of digitalization is most noticeable. And the digitalization of agriculture allows numerous farmers to conduct agricultural production effectively and efficiently, increasing their incomes. Thus, a systematic and integrated approach to digitalization allows the country to make significant progress in solving social problems caused by the poverty of the population, which persists despite rapid economic growth.

In this article, we look at the determinants of the new technology adoption by consumers in the case of mobile telecommunications. The dynamic nature of the telecom industry is a result of the frequent technological change. Consumers witness different technology standards in mobile communications, starting from the first generation (1G) to second generation (2G) subsequently to third (3G) and now experiencing fourth (4G) in some countries such as Norway, Sweden, South Korea, and the USA including ours. The movement from one standard to the other has been predicted to be smooth as all of them are vertical substitutes for each other. Given the various dimensions such as price, requirements, utility and so on, these technology standards are not perfect substitutes. The article investigates the prospect of a new technology standard roll out in India. A survey of 400 mobile phone customers in metro telecom circles has been carried out for this purpose. The study applies structural equation modeling (SEM) and explores the adoption intention of this new technology among the respondents. Results show that the presence of low-cost alternatives that is the availability of a lower technology standard poses a significant hurdle to the adoption of new technology services.

In the current scenario, mobile internet applications enable consumers to access a variety of services: Web information search, SMS (short message service), MMS (multimedia message service), banking, payment, gaming, e-mailing, chat, weather forecast, GPS (global positioning service), and so forth. Collectively, we denominate this wide array of services as “mcommerce.” These digital media are considered to potentially improve the possibilities to reach consumers by allowing personalization of the content and context of the message. Combining customer's user profile and the context situation, advertising companies can provide the target customers exactly the advertisement information they desire, not just “spam” them with irrelevant advertisements. Drawing from Nysveen, Pedersen, and Thorbjornsen's (2005) grid of mobile internet services classification, this study attempts to critically analyse “person interactive” (goal-oriented) information and “person interactive” (experiential) messaging, targeting both utilitarian and hedonic benefits from the consumers' perspective. It analyses the effectiveness of mobile advertising in its current format (as prevalent in India). ‘Effectiveness’ for the purpose of this study has been concretized in terms of impact of mobile advertising on the purchase decision of the consumer. However, results of binary logistic regression indicate that mobile advertising in its current format does not have a significant impact on the purchase decision of a consumer, and that there might be other significant factors like a firm's marketing efforts (marketing mix), a consumers' socio-cultural environment (family, informal sources, non-commercial sources, social class, culture and sub-culture), and an individual's psychological field (motivation, perception, learning, personality, and attitudes) that affect his purchase decision. Mobile advertising in its current format is very generic in its approach, as substantiated by factor analysis performed on the data — marketing communication through mobiles primarily lacked in contextualization and perceived usefulness (for the target customers), and were disruptive in nature. Although mobiles are a powerful mode of marketing communication, the important issues at stake here are— what to say, how to say it, to whom, and how often. Communications get more and more difficult, as a large number of companies clamour for getting the consumers' increasingly divided attention through various means. Hence the challenge lies in customizing the marketing communication to suit individual needs (Customerization), i.e., reaching the right target market with the right message at the right time. Also, variations in consumer responsiveness towards mobile advertising have been examined using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Finally, some features enhancing the utilitarian and hedonic benefits drawn (or expected) from mobile advertising are prioritized. This enhancement of benefits can be implemented by incorporating Intelligent Software Agents, which make customerization of marketing messages a reality—delivering all the desired benefits (utilitarian⁄hedonic) to the consumers. Software Agents are programmes which fulfill a task independently on behalf of the user and can be adapted to the individual preferences and parameters of its instructor; software agents operate without intervention of the user at a specific problem definition.

Executive Summary In today’s dynamic and competitive environment, customers have numerous choices to take decision on which products and services to use. In the wireless communications industry, the introduction of mobile number portability (MNP) may induce more and more consumers to switch their network operator, as MNP allows consumers to retain their original telephone number when switching from one carrier to another. This might have significant effect on price competition and market share of network providers ( Shi, Chiang, & Rhee, 2006 ). In this backdrop, the present study examines the effect of MNP on consumers’ switching intentions and also the factors affecting those switching intentions in Indian mobile phone services context. Further, the study investigates the relationship between switching intentions and actual switching (ASW) or actual staying (AST) behaviour of consumers. The main findings of the study are: After MNP implementation, consumers’ switching intentions have not changed, as they appear to be satisfied with the services of their current service provider and with regard to those who have already switched, they switched without MNP. Factors such as service quality, relational quality (i.e., satisfaction, trust, and commitment), price, reputation and image, attitude towards switching, perceived ease of use and usefulness, and switching costs (SCs) significantly affect consumers’ switching intentions. Consumers’ switching intentions predict both ASW and AST behaviour of consumers. However, switching intentions better predict AST than ASW behaviour. This implies that even if consumers have intentions to switch their current operator, they would not actually switch because of SCs involved in terms of time, money, and effort. The authors have suggested initiatives that the service providers as well as the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) need to undertake for proper implementation and acceptance of MNP among consumers.

IntroductionMobile Academy is a mobile-based training course for India’s accredited social health activist (ASHA) community health workers (CHW). The course, which ASHAs access by dialling a number from their phones, totals 4 hours of audio content. It consists of 11 chapters, each with their own quiz, and provides a cumulative pass or fail score at the end. This qualitative study of Mobile Academy explores how the programme was accessed and experienced by CHWs, and how they perceive it to have influenced their work.MethodsWe conducted in-depth interviews (n=25) and focus group discussions (n=5) with ASHAs and other health system actors. Open-ended questions explored ASHA perspectives on Mobile Academy, the course’s perceived influence on ASHAs and preferences for future training programmes. After applying a priori codes to the transcripts, we identified emergent themes and grouped them according to our CHW mLearning framework.ResultsASHAs reported enjoying Mobile Academy, specifically praising its friendly tone and the ability to repeat content. They, and higher level health systems actors, conceived it to primarily be a test not a training. ASHAs reported that they found the quizzes easy but generally did not consider the course overly simplistic. ASHAs considered Mobile Academy’s content to be a useful knowledge refresher but said its primary benefit was in modelling a positive communications approach, which inspired them to adopt a kinder, more ‘loving’ communication style when speaking to beneficiaries. ASHAs and health system actors wanted follow-on mLearning courses that would continue to compliment but not replace face-to-face training.ConclusionThis mLearning programme for CHWs in India was well received by ASHAs across a wide range of education levels and experience. Dial-in audio training has the potential to reinforce topical knowledge and showcase positive ways to communicate.

Our world has seen enormous improvements in mobile telephony, the internet, and ebusiness. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) play a critical and core role in today’s society. All over the world nations have recognized information and communication Technology (ICT) as a powerful tool in accelerating the economic activity, efficient governance and developing human resources. Whether it’s the electronic form of conducting business or social/professional networking over the World Wide Web, ICT has proved that it is a basic requirement for social and economic development. To increase the flow of Information and improving communications and to increase possibilities and opportunities, ICT infrastructure is a rudimentary need. ICT has proved that it is one of the major difference between developed and developing countries. Take for example India. India has achieved the status of the world’s 4th biggest economy, major fraction of which is basically IT driven. The information and communication technology could be used to empower the Women in Pakistan by making the resources available to them at home, where a nearby area / residential based environment could be created for working at home where they could fulfill their home based liabilities as well.

Background Many public health programs and interventions across the world increasingly rely on using information and communications technology (ICT) tools to train and sensitize health professionals. However, the effects of such programs on provider knowledge, practice, and patient health outcomes have been inconsistent. One of the reasons for the varied effectiveness of these programs is the low and varying levels of provider engagement, which, in turn, could be because of the form and mode of content used. Tailoring instructional content could improve engagement, but it is expensive and logistically demanding to do so with traditional training Objective This study aimed to discover preferences among providers on the form (articles or videos), mode (featuring peers or experts), and length (short or long) of the instructional content; to quantify the extent to which differences in these preferences can explain variation in provider engagement with ICT-based training interventions; and to compare the power of content preferences to explain provider engagement against that of demographic variables. Methods We used data from a mobile phone–based intervention focused on improving tuberculosis diagnostic practices among 24,949 private providers from 5 specialties and 1734 cities over 1 year. Engagement time was used as the primary outcome to assess provider engagement. K-means clustering was used to segment providers based on the proportion of engagement time spent on content formats, modes, and lengths to discover their content preferences. The identified clusters were used to predict engagement time using a linear regression model. Subsequently, we compared the accuracy of the cluster-based prediction model with one based on demographic variables of providers (eg, specialty and geographic location). Results The average engagement time across all providers was 7.5 min (median 0, IQR 0-1.58). A total of 69.75% (17,401/24,949) of providers did not consume any content. The average engagement time for providers with nonzero engagement time was 24.8 min (median 4.9, IQR 2.2-10.1). We identified 4 clusters of providers with distinct preferences for form, mode, and length of content. These clusters explained a substantially higher proportion of the variation in engagement time compared with demographic variables (32.9% vs 1.0%) and yielded a more accurate prediction for the engagement time (root mean square error: 4.29 vs 5.21 and mean absolute error: 3.30 vs 4.26). Conclusions Providers participating in a mobile phone–based digital campaign have inherent preferences for instructional content. Targeting providers based on individual content preferences could result in higher provider engagement as compared to targeting providers based on demographic variables.

Abstract Background Population structure and per capita mobile phones are related to the information infrastructure of countries. The association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a regional organization composed of Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam. In addition, South Asian countries include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Many previous studies have discussed strategies or countermeasures to deal with the problem of “China's rise” and the emotional behavior of Chinese people on mobile phones. The rise of China has almost balanced the trade differences between China and other countries such as the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and Japan. Research objects and methods The population structure and per capita mobile phones of the association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN & SA) and South Asian countries (ASEAN & SA) were classified by bilateral standard deviation method. The steps are: 1) clustering the population structure through bilateral standard deviation; 2) Analysis of mobile cellular network per capita in various countries; 3) The relationship between population structure and per capita mobile phone. 4) Using the method of questionnaire, this paper investigates the emotional micro behavior of using Chinese mobile phones in different countries and regions. This study also used the emotion regulation scale (ERs), which was compiled by Wang Li and others on the basis of gross's emotion regulation scale. The scale has a score of 7 points (1 completely disagree to 7 completely agree), with a total of 14 items. There were 7 items of re evaluation and expression inhibition strategies respectively. The higher the score of the scale, the higher the frequency of using the strategy. In this study, the internal consistency coefficient of the scale is 0.74. Re evaluation and expression inhibition of the two subscales α The coefficients are 0.84 and 0.77 respectively. Results The results show that India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Thailand have potential markets for mobile communications. According to the classification of countries, when these countries are included in the same cluster, the population structure is very similar. According to the analysis, the number of mobile phones per capita in Singapore is very high, and the population structure is also aging. Malaysia and Vietnam have high per capita mobile traffic and a general population structure. Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines all have mobile phones. Generally speaking, countries with elderly population structure have a high per capita mobile cellular network in ASEAN. In this process, we also analyzed the correlation between emotional behavior and telephone use. The results showed that there was a negative correlation between social support and anxiety level. There is a significant positive correlation between social re evaluation and social support. At the same time, social support was negatively correlated with expression inhibition, and expression inhibition was positively correlated with anxiety. The same statistical method was used to explore expression inhibition as an intermediary variable between social support and adolescent anxiety. It can be seen from table 4 that the regression coefficients of the first and second steps are significant. In the third step, after inserting the intermediary variable expression inhibition, the impact of social support on Teenagers' anxiety level is still significant. It can be seen that expression inhibition plays a partial intermediary role in the relationship between social support and teenagers' anxiety level, and its effect value is 0.01, accounting for the percentage of the total effect of -0.02 * 0.23 / - 0.05 = 9.2%. According to the calculation of bias corrected bootstrap method, the 95% confidence interval of the mediating effect of expression inhibition is [0.077, 0.381], and 0 is not within the upper and lower limits, indicating that expression inhibition plays an intermediary role in social support and adolescent anxiety. Conclusion The main contribution of this study is to explore the relationship between population structure and per capita mobile phone in ASEAN and southern African countries. The world's population is growing rapidly, which is a problem because the earth's resources are limited. The uniform probability distribution with time (year) as the variable is considered to be the optimal population distribution of a country, that is, the human resources of the country are constant. Therefore, the ideal shape of the pyramid of the times is square. It is also a standard form for examining population structure. In addition, it is reasonable to share the experience of China's rise, which supports the mobile business model of ASEAN and southern African countries.

In olden days the only phone system available to all the users was BSNL. BSNL had a monopolistic trade for long time since independence. But due to the globalization and privatization policy adopted by the government private entries in communication was encouraged by the government at all level. Due to this reason in modern scenario the public have enormous choices in selecting the services of communication system provided by the private sectors apart from the BSNL. So BSNL was in a position to update the technology and services, schemes offered to the customers. The AIRCEL communication is one of the familiar communications available in southern parts of India which provides various products to the customers mainly covering the rural public. Due to the effort taken by the union government particular in communication system the BSNL has developed well and launched various products which mainly attracted the public and customers in all parts of the country. It gives toughest competition to all the private sectors in communication system. So the customers have choices in selecting the mobile communication system. They are aware of all the services provided by various mobile communication systems. Further they frequently change their brand of services from time to time based on the scheme provided by BSNL, AIRCEL and other communication system. These decisions of the customers have considerable impact on the marketing of products both by BSNL and also AIRCEL. Frequently they lose the existing customers and get new customers also. Both of them (BSNL and AIRCEL) meet competition in the market and face problems to retain the existing customers. Though they offer attractive schemes to customers they could not stop the changing mind of the customers to select other brand. What are the reasons for it? What are the causes? How these problems can be solved? To know all these things a thorough study is to be undertaken. This is inevitable at present. Hence, the researchers as a preliminary step tried to write an article on "Comparative Study on Customers' Satisfaction towards Mobile Service Provided by Aired and BSNL in Erode Town". Through this article the research found the real causes for the changing attitudes of the customers in selecting the mobile phone services offered by both BSNL and AIRCEL, and found out the issues in the related area and the customers attitudes towards the services of BSNL and Aircel and also remedial measures to solve the issues faced by the customers in the mobile phone services offered by BSNL and AIRCEL.

Background: The COVID vaccination drive in India has recently crossed the one billion mark which is certainly a tremendous feat. Although women were initially hesitant, public propaganda and behaviour change communications encouraged them to come forward. The aim of the study was to assess the vaccination status of female population of the country through interrogation in obstetrics and gynaecology out patient departments (OBG OPD).Methods: Through this cross-sectional study, all women visiting OBG OPD were asked about type and number of vaccine doses received, dates of administration of first and second doses and whether they had any significant side effects following immunization.Results: A total of 1456 women were recruited in the study. Mean age of participants was 33.24±4.65 years. 36.26% participants were pregnant. 89.97% women had received at least one dose of vaccine and 48.76% participants were fully vaccinated. Majority received Covishield vaccine. Majority of the participants received first shot during the months of July, August and September. No women suffered from any adverse effect following immunization. Most women got motivated for vaccination from television (76.91%) and alert messages in mobile phones (61.59%). The results of our study reflects the success story of vaccination campaign as almost 90% of the participants had received at least one dose of vaccine.Conclusions: The proactive participation and untiring efforts of the frontline workers has been instrumental in achieving this remarkable landmark. India's successful vaccination campaign is a lesson to the world at large.

We are living in a world where technology is omnipresent. Due to the ubiquitous presence of technology the pedagogy of teaching methodology has also undergone a sea-change. The phrase “e-Learning” or “Technology in Education” has become the buzz word in every educational environment. Infusing technology into education is really important as it caters the needs of the contemporary learners. The classroom environment, today, is completely different from the conventional classroom. The traditional methods, which are mainly based on lecturing and rote learning reduce, English language learning to mechanical memorization and miserably fail in developing English language as a skill among the learners. New technologies like Internet, YouTube, Skype, tweeter, blogs, mobile phones, interactive boards and many more have added not only stimulus but also learners’ communication and true interactivity within the classroom. Learning is, of course, the main purpose of education. It is the goal of every student and the task of every teacher to increase knowledge and understanding in the classroom. The teachers can engage the learners to become skilled at English Language by using the innovative ELT techniques like English songs, movie clippings, dramatics, advertisements, sports commentaries and many more. This paper stresses on the need to make English language lessons easy and enjoyable through innovative ELT methods. This is done first by giving a brief review about the traditional teaching methods in India and further the focus will be on instilling Information and Communications technologies (ICT) tools in ELT. Thus this study confers the availability of various tools of ICT and their practical uses.

Introduction. The development of the information and communication technologies (ICT) market creates the conditions for further growth of other sectors of the economy. ICT companies provide companies, individuals and government with software, Internet, mobile and fixed communications, and so on. The purpose of the article is to study the current state of the ICT market in the world and in Ukraine, to identify major trends and threats for further development of the ICT market. Results. The ICT market is one of the largest dynamically developing markets in the world. Research conducted by leading consulting companies in the world shows that after 2020, the market can grow from 13 to 33 trillion and the blockchain market to 3.1 trillion $. International Data Corporation emphasizes that digital technologies and solutions can reach 60% of global GDP by the end of 2022. The world leader in the number of ICT corporations is the United States, with headquarters of the 65 world's largest companies, 20 in China, Taiwan - 17, Japan - 14, South Korea - 6, India - 5 companies. The IT services market accounts for 0,5% of the global IT services market. In Ukraine there are 125 registered self-employed individuals that are used by large companies to optimize their tax burden. Income of such American ICT companies such as Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft significantly exceeds the size of the state budget of Ukraine, and part of the revenues from the ICT market occupies only 4,5% of GDP, which is clearly insufficient and is evidence of an economic development lag. Conclusions. The imperfection of domestic legislation, the lack of incentives for ICT organizations, the possibility to monopolize the market, the insecurity of the interests of individuals and private companies do not stimulate foreign investments in this sector of the economy. In spite of this, Ukraine has a great potential for its growth, for which it is necessary to develop a national concept and model for the development of the ICT market, to restrain the departure of specialists abroad, to ensure the implementation of the business-state partnership strategy, etc. Keywords: telecommunications market, IT market, telecommunications market and IT services, marketing research, investments, ICT companies.

How do satisfaction and loyalty drive Indian consumers' continued use of mobile financial applications? Do age, education, and income moderate these relationships? An analysis of 1,060 Indian participants revealed that consumer satisfaction and loyalty were correlated with continuance intention. Satisfaction seemed to be a more emotional factor for the continuance of mobile wallet use, while loyalty was more cognitive behavior. Income and education showed opposite and significant moderating effects on the main driving factors. In general, the research findings can provide a deeper understanding of the continued use of mobile financial applications.

Objective - The world is moving towards continuous and ubiquitous availability of information. Entry of private operators in 1990's, competition has caused prices to drop and calls across India are one of the cheapest in the world. Technological advances combined with forces of globalization resulted in the transformation of the economy, industries, markets and customers resulting in a connected knowledge economy, borderless global economy, globalizing, covering and consolidating industries, fragmenting and frictionless markets and active, connected, informed and demanding customers. The objective of this research is to ascertain the constructs like customer satisfaction towards the mobile phone service providers, switching barrier and the customer loyalty factors. Methodology/Technique - Respondents in the study are the customers who use mobile phones. Primary data were collected with the help of the specially designed questionnaire, which was administered to the mobile users. The final questionnaire was pre-tested on 40 respondents and the coefficient values are all above .8 thus meeting Nunnaly's recommendation of greater than 0.7 as the acceptable reliability level. The overall alpha value was 0.8 and the instrument consists of customer satisfaction regarding the mobile service providers, which includes factors like price (5 items, 0.816), network coverage (4 items, 0.795), customer service (5 items, 0.852) and usage (8 items, 0.884). Switching barriers factors consists of 28 items like credibility factors (8 items, 0.863), congruency factors (7 items, 0.816), switching cast (8 items, 0.871), and value (5 items, 0.900). Final part of the instrument includes 17 customer loyalty factors like trust (7 items, 0.858), commitment (4 items, 0.848), word of mouth (3 items, 0.779) and cooperation (3 items, 0.691). Findings - Gender, location of the customers and service providers has a significant association with level of customer satisfaction. Gender and occupation have a significant association with level of customer switching barriers. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to analyze the main effect and the adjustment effect of those switching barrier factors and the relative effect. The contribution is that this study reviews theoretically and verifies empirically the relationship and mechanism between the customer retention and the switching barrier. Type of Paper - Empirical Keywords: Customer satisfaction factors; switching barrier factors; Customer loyalty factors.

To investigate factors that influence mobile health technology and application acceptance for health service delivery in India. The paper identifies a technology acceptance model that can be limited to the Indian rural populations. The data is collected from 60 semi-structured interviews with rural populations, including doctors. Contents of these phases were transcribed, and quotes are presented constituting a proposed technology acceptance model. Findings indicate that people in the rural community have mobile phones and are mainly used to communicate by phone calls their relatives, friends, and family members. The study also revealed that a lack of knowledge, mobile literacy, trust, social influence, individual cognitive factors, and technical infrastructure were found to influence mobile phone use for health activities. Triangulating the findings from the literature and interview, the study has identified a set of interrelated acceptance factors that the authors proposed as mobile health technology acceptance model for the rural community of India.

This paper focuses on determining the age-based differences among consumers in terms of the acceptance of mobile social media. In doing so, the younger age group is represented by Generation Y and the elderly by Baby Boomers. Further, the famous UTAUT2 model is applied, and relationships mentioned in it are evaluated for the two age groups. For this purpose, a sample of 249 respondents was obtained from the online survey conducted in the state of Punjab in India. The statistical technique of multi-group path analysis using structural equation modelling (SEM) is applied to the generated data. The findings of the study reveal that the young age and elderly groups differ significantly in terms of the impact of effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation on behavioral intention, and facilitating conditions on use behavior. It may provide important implications for future research related to internet marketing and mobile social media.

This study explores the critical elements driving the recommendation intention of mobile banking users in India. It explores the relationship between ease of use and recommendation intent via serially mediating roles of satisfaction and continued intention. It also explores the relationship between cost and recommendation intent by studying the serially mediating roles of satisfaction and continued intention. It combines the two resulting in an integrated framework. The study utilized the analytical approach by Hayes (2013) for testing the hypothetical model. The path coefficients were calculated using Model 6 (PROCESS). Our findings reveal that satisfaction and continued intention are serially mediating the relationship between ease of use and recommendation intention as well as cost and recommendation intention. The major contribution of this research study to existing literature is that it culminates with the ‘action’ of ‘recommendation to use’ rather than continued intention.

A typical telemedicine system involves a small set of hospitals providing remote healthcare services to a small section of the society using dedicated nodal centers. However, in developing nations like India where majority live in rural areas that lack specialist care, we envision the need for much larger Internet-based telemedicine systems that would enable a large pool of doctors and hospitals to collectively provide healthcare services to entire populations. We propose a scalable, Internet-based P2P architecture for telemedicine integrating multiple hospitals, mobile medical specialists, and rural mobile units. This system, based on the store and forward model, features a distributed context-aware scheduler for providing timely and location-aware telemedicine services. Other features like zone-based overlay structure and persistent object space abstraction make the system efficient and easy to use. Lastly, the system uses the existing internet infrastructure and supports mobility at doctor and patient ends.

The authors have tested the relationships between UTAUT constructs and the behavioral intention to use mobile internet technology with samples drawn from India and Germany. They have also tested the moderating role of age, gender, and user experience between UTAUT constructs and behavioral intention using hierarchical regression analysis. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS SEM) was used to test the UTAUT without moderating effects. The results show that UTAUT constructs influence behavioral intention. Behavioral intention also predicts the use of technology. Empirical evidence was established for the UTAUT model based on the samples from both countries. “Experience of use” moderated the relationship between effort expectancy and behavioral intention in the Indian sample. The last section of the article discusses the contributions of this research to theory, its practical implications, limitations, and the scope for future research.

This study aims to investigate factors influencing the formation of consumers' initial trust in m-payments in a developing country such as India. Despite being considered a significant pre-adoption factor, initial trust in m-payments has remained underexplored. To fulfill this research gap, a cross-sectional survey of 1,087 respondents has been conducted, and the analysis has been done using factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Results indicate that consumers' awareness about m-payments and perceived integrity of mobile service providers positively influence initial trust, whereas perceived risks have a significant negative influence, and perceived opportunism of service provider has a marginally significant influence on the formation of initial trust. The findings will be helpful to the m-payment vendors, mobile network operators, and technology providers to enhance trust-building mechanisms in mobile payment systems that can have a positive impact on the adoption and usage of m-payments.

Smartphones have made internet available at our fingertips. More children around the world are born mobile ready especially kids born after 2015 (Gen Alpha). The COVID induced lockdown had robbed children of other means of entertainment and combined with the easy access to smartphones due to the online classes, the overuse of smartphones is a concept of great concern to parents. An online survey was conducted in India among parents about the usage of smartphone in their children and the parents also filled out a self-constructed questionnaire to find the levels of smartphone addiction in their children. 1330 people participated in the study and their responses were used to analyze the various factors contributing to smartphone overuse. The amount of time spent in smartphone has increased exponentially during COVID 19 induced lockdown, with 14.7% of children spending 5 - 6 hours per day and a small percentage of children (3.3%) spending more than 9 hours per day. Children who owned a smartphone and adolescent children have higher scores in the smartphone addiction scale.

However, even though model generalization issues have been highlighted in many studies, the focus has always been on improving the accuracies of models using different sensing modalities and machine learning techniques, with datasets collected in homogeneous populations. In contrast, less attention has been given to studying the performance of mood inference models to assess whether models generalize to new countries. In this study, we collected a mobile sensing dataset with 329K self-reports from 678 participants in eight countries (China, Denmark, India, Italy, Mexico, Mongolia, Paraguay, UK) to assess the effect of geographical diversity on mood inference models. We define and evaluate country-specific (trained and tested within a country), continent-specific (trained and tested within a continent), country-agnostic (tested on a country not seen on training data), and multi-country (trained and tested with multiple countries) approaches trained on sensor data for two mood inference tasks with population-level (non-personalized) and hybrid (partially personalized) models. We show that partially personalized country-specific models perform the best yielding area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) scores of the range 0.78--0.98 for two-class (negative vs. positive valence) and 0.76--0.94 for three-class (negative vs. neutral vs. positive valence) inference. Further, with the country-agnostic approach, we show that models do not perform well compared to country-specific settings, even when models are partially personalized. We also show that continent-specific models outperform multi-country models in the case of Europe. Overall, we uncover generalization issues of mood inference models to new countries and how the geographical similarity of countries might impact mood inference.

The majority of the Indian population is not getting the advantages of inclusive growth and development in India, referred to as financial inclusion and has become a challenge for the Indian economy. The paper aims to investigate the use of available technology-enabled financial services and their role for financial inclusion in the current COVID 19 situation and the reaching rural and semi-urban India. The research is based on the in-depth analysis of the government policies and Fintech in the light of India's situation during COVID 19. The study reveals that the government showed the intent by opening a vast amount of banking accounts (411 million accounts) for financial inclusion in around six years. With radical changes in mobile subscribers and 4G, Internet, and Smartphone growth, India is close to achieving financial inclusion with full potential. However, significant change and development can be attained only if the government provides and motivates citizens to adopt the innovation services for financial inclusion.

<p>Though in this modern society men and women are said to be given equal rights, having no gender discrimination, women are still considered weak and endlessly facing rape, domestic violence, eve-teasing, workplace violence, physical assault, cyberbullying even being killed. In South Asian countries, like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan there are thousands of cases regarding violence against women. The use of ICT including smartphone applications can be an aid in building awareness and support against these issues. Although several applications were developed worldwide, but not out there online for sensible use. In this paper, we aspire to present women with a technical solution by providing them a mobile application “SuperWomen” that is centered on urban and rural women of Asian countries and also available online. Not only women, but its voice-controlled siren feature is also a great help for physically challenged individuals, that works even on the lock screen. Survey feedback of this application shows that it takes care of each pre-incidental and post-incidental condition like an expert. This application provides user-friendly navigation for women with less technical knowledge. Its key features are secret button emergency SMS alert, location sharing with any social media, lawyer chatbot, pictorial self-defense techniques, etc. The effectiveness of this application has been justified through extensive literature review, application benchmark, performance evaluation, user survey, deployment in Google Play Store. We believe that this will bring a holistic resolution to safeguard suppressed women worldwide.<strong> </strong></p>
