The main goal of every business is to create customers, since client satisfaction and trust will bring repeat purchases to the firm and thus improve the firm¿s organizational performance. Customers are extremely price-conscious, smarter, less forgiving, and with more demands. The challenge therefore is to produce loyal and delighted customers such that if they are retained within the organisation, they turn out to be really profitable and eventually become ambassadors for the organisation. Many organisations are realizing that it might not be easy for the intangible aspects of a relationship to be duplicated by the competition, which therefore provides a unique competitive advantage. There is a major problem with customer churn in Zenith Bank. The bank has ¿passion for customers¿ as one of its core values yet, this seems to be a thing of the mouth as staff of the organisation would not be overly bothered about customer satisfaction, loyalty and retention. Relationships with customers are still at the transactional level and officers seem not to be in a hurry to take this to a relational level even in the face of a seemingly competitive banking industry.

Abortion complications are a major contributing factor to maternal mortality, especially in Africa. 31% of maternal deaths in Nairobi are attributed to abortions complications. While Post abortion Care (PAC) is a proven approach in addressing mortality and burden of abortion complications, determinants of use among women who need the service, PAC health seeking behavior's, the health systems capacity to provide PAC and experiences of women and providers on PAC is not well documented. Health providers training and a supportive system in the provision of a comprehensive PAC effectively improves women's access to PAC services. Perceived patient centeredness, communication and autonomy received while seeking PAC services have shown to influence by a large extent utilization of PAC services. There is need to better understand what drives PAC services use, women PAC seeking behavior's in order to contribute to reducing maternal mortality and morbidity. If not addressed, complications from abortion, including from unsafe abortion will continue to claim more lives, a huge economic burden and put a strain on already stretched-out health care system. This forms the basis of this study.

Scholars in African feminisms have tended to address the issue of patriarchy pitted against matriarchy but have left out questions regarding power and the legitimacy or illegitimacy of such power and hegemony in African fiction. This book seeks to demonstrate why and how characters in literary works legitimately or illegitimately control hegemonies and the language they use to acquire power legitimacy. The book is guided by Motherism, an accommodative version of West African Feminism, and Gynandarism, male writing that champions women¿s causes, as the theoretical approaches. The novels included in the analysis are Mariama Bäs Scarlet Song, Nawal El Saadawi¿s God Dies by the Nile, and Assia Djebar¿s Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade, among other fictional and non-fictional works from Africa. The sampled works offer a panoramic view of the African literary landscape by both male and female authors and are representative of the established literary traditions in these regions. The book concludes that overt appearances of power, as found in literary texts, may be enervated by covert realities ensconced within discourses on power illegitimacy.

Na-ion batteries, promising for electric vehicles and grids due to the abundance and uniform distribution of sodium, face challenges in achieving sufficient energy density through cathode materials chemistry. Among various cathode constituents explored for Na-ion batteries, scientists have investigated Nasicon compounds. The open framework of Nasicon structures facilitates Na+ ion diffusion, making them excellent cathode materials. Recognized for structural and thermal stabilities, a wide range of electrochemical potentials, and superior ionic conductivity, Nasicon-based materials are considered significant cathode constituents. However, their poor electronic conductivity limits practical applications, prompting researchers to employ strategies such as carbon coating, size reduction, and elemental doping to enhance electronic conductivity. This paper provides an overview of the recent progress in the development of Nasicon-based cathode constituents for Na-ion batteries.

Advent of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology, enables embedding of a large class of electronic circuits within a chip. As per Moore¿s law, transistor counts are getting doubled every two years. Chip multiprocessors (CMPs), therefore, integrates thousands of on-chip cores and multi-layer on-chip cache to support the memory demand of those cores that accredits complex multi-programmed environment. But the large sized cache consumes huge percentage of total power and occupies an appreciable chip floor area. On-chip nonvolatile memory (NVM) is advantageous as compared to SRAM or DRAM. However, NVM more specifically Resistive memories suffer from write endurance issue under workload variation and Malicious attacks. Variable cell lifetime is also observed in such memories. Multiple cells of ReRAM encounters stuck-at faults. Cellular automata (CA) technology is considered almost everywhere in physical and biological systems as powerful models. CA is applied in pattern recognition, networking, cryptography, VLSI testing, computer architecture etc. The objective is to introduce design of a robust ReRAM based memory subsystem for CMPs with cache write management techniques.
