Digital stores are spreading their tentacles slowly in Vietnam, the most upcoming economy of the ASEAN region, so it is a relevant and contemporary study to know the perceptual thought and socioeconomic profiles of customers. Since there is a lack of independent study in this area, the relationships can be researched and presented. The context of digitization and consumerism is slowly growing in the Vietnamese market. So, this article studies the factors influencing online consumer perception and purchase orientation for digital stores operating in Vietnam through apps and websites. This study is a bi-phase study. In the first phase, constructs, such as digital store images, digital customer loyalty, satisfaction and digital socio-economic profiles of consumers, are examined. In the second part, the empirical analysis is carried by the authors. The study is done by SPSS 22, R studio, and R-cran software packages. Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, very simple structure (VSS) criterion, and parallel analysis are used for the study. Customers have an almost balanced view of shifting to other stores and the image of the digital store, which makes the price have a substantial effect on the digital store image. The education and empathetic nature of employees also affect the way customers complain, and the way delivery is handled, which is Factor 1 for the model. Factor 2 is promotion, pricing, billing ease, or proper billing, which influence the purchasing power of the customer. So, the service provider or digital store has to be cautious of a specific socioeconomic variable. Digital store image is significantly about complaint handling methods, promotional aspects, and image-driven pricing. So the digital store has to be more careful about these factors. So, from the model, it can be concluded that digital consumers’ socioeconomic profiles, the price of the product, and the digital store’s image appear to have a significant relationship. A consumer pattern is having the education and the period of purchase, which explains the relationship better. The level of education and the period of purchase from a digital store also have significant differences among each other. Thus, the digital service provider should consider the level of education and the period of continuous purchase from a digital store as the criteria for evaluating digital customer loyalty. The price of the product seems to be significant as a variable too. The digital store image appears to be substantial for grievances, promotion, and image driven by price. So this considerable relationship has to be taken into consideration by the service provider while focusing on making decisions for customer loyalty.

This research work confirms the effects of Covid-19 on Higher Education Institutions in India. Analyzing the consequences of pandemic on teaching and learning system in different states in India and the impact of the same on tertiary education as well. The illustrative and informative structured surveys and library analysis are used to gather the data, analyzed in this research. The gathered data analyzed through chi sq. measurable instrument at five percentage level of significance that was bestowed within the style of frequency and percentages. The examinees for this study are 1100 lecturers from different states of India. The examination and analysis revealed that viral outbreak has significant effects on Higher Education Institutions in India.

Recent years witnessed lots of advancements in Internet of Medical Things, Innovations in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics based health care practices. Further, recent pandemic has compelled health care institutions to adopt remote patient care practices throughout the world and India is not an exception. Growth in mobile infrastructure and cheap mobile data packages also encouraged adoption of telemedicine and m-health care practices in India which eventually supports attempts of health care policy makers for transition of traditional health care systems to Health 4.0 in the lines of industry4.0. However, success of Health 4.0 depends upon the coordinated efforts from all the stakeholders. In this regard this research has been conducted to investigate the current status of Health 4.0 implementation in India and readiness of Indian health care sector towards its adoption. This paper further employs the SWOT-AHP analysis to identify the current areas that need immediate improvement to facilitate Health 4.0 adoption.

Introduction. Teaching pedagogy has become more advanced and techno friendly. The goal of this study is to inspect effectiveness of e-LMS (learning management system) prevalent for students of West African University, mainly at Private University Colleges. Materials and Methods. The samples were collected from Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Togo and Benin. The research design is based on a survey method. Data were collected from 435-undergraduate students using questionnaires out of which 410-were found useful. Results. The result hints towards enhancing infrastructure for technology, more seminars and encouraging students to use the same. Discussion and Conclusion. Efficient use of LMS ought to be on obligatory institutional objectives and policies. The study recommends integration of LMS in curricula of undergraduate students of West African countries. The study further recommends efficient and useful information technology education to be made mandatory institutional policy for students and criteria for getting accreditation for organization.

The purpose of the study was to delve into the challenges faced in the use of e-learning at the University of Ghana. In all, 190 graduate students were selected for the study. The main instrument used for data gathering was questionnaire. The findings revealed that when using the SAKAI LMS, graduate students encounter issues such as poor internet access, lack of computer skills, among others. In comparison to their male counterparts, female graduate students faced more obstacles when using the e-learning platform. From the data analysis, there were no statistically significant variations between age and the problems graduate students had when using the e-learning platform. Based on the findings, graduate students should obtain sufficient instruction on how to use the SAKAI LMS. In order to facilitate lifelong learning and human resource development, the study recommends the incorporation of e-learning into the curriculum of higher education teaching and learning.
