solar energy a necessary investment in a Developing Economy
International Journal of Sustainable Energy, 2006Co-Authors: O I Okoro, T C MaduemeAbstract:Electrical energy is the pivot of all developmental efforts in both the developed and the Developing nations. Because sources of conventional energy are finite and fast depleting, most industrialized countries have started research on solar energy as a renewable source of energy. This paper presents the present state of conventional energy generation in a Developing Economy like Nigeria. The efforts made in solar energy research and utilization are highlighted. A case is made for a systematic and coordinated financial investment in solar energy research and adaptation to complement energy generation from conventional sources.

solar energy investments in a Developing Economy
Renewable Energy, 2004Co-Authors: O I Okoro, T C MaduemeAbstract:Almost all technical development efforts in both the developed and the Developing nations depend on electrical energy. However, the sources of conventional means of electricity generation are fast depleting. Consequently, most industrialised nations have research on solar energy as a way to avert impending energy crisis.

customer perceptions of service quality in the banking sector of a Developing Economy a critical analysis
International Journal of Bank Marketing, 2003Co-Authors: G S Sureshchandar, Chandrasekharan Rajendran, R N AnantharamanAbstract:Focusses on investigating the critical factors of customer perceived service quality in banks of a Developing Economy – India. Compares and contrasts the three groups of banks in India with respect to the service quality factors from the perspective of the customers. There seems to be a great amount of variation with respect to the level of service quality offered by the three groups of banks. Identifies the factors that discriminate the three groups of banks. Customers in Developing economies seem to keep the “technological factors” of services such as core service and systematization of the service delivery as the yardstick in differentiating good and bad service while the “human factors” seem to play a lesser role in discriminating the three groups of banks. The service quality indices with respect to the three groups and the Indian banking industry as whole, offer interesting information on the level of service quality delivered by banks in India.

prehospital care training in a rapidly Developing Economy a multi institutional study
Journal of Surgical Research, 2016Co-Authors: Dinesh Vyas, Michael Hollis, Rohit Abraham, Neeti Rustagi, Siddharth Chandra, Ajai K Malhotra, Vikas Rajpurohit, Harshada PurohitAbstract:Background The trauma pandemic is one of the leading causes of death worldwide but especially in rapidly Developing economies. Perhaps, a common cause of trauma-related mortality in these settings comes from the rapid expansion of motor vehicle ownership without the corresponding expansion of national prehospital training in developed countries. The resulting road traffic injuries often never make it to the hospital in time for effective treatment, resulting in preventable disability and death. The current article examines the development of a medical first responder training program that has the potential to reduce this unnecessary morbidity and mortality. Methods An intensive training workshop has been differentiated into two progressive tiers: acute trauma training (ATT) and broad trauma training (BTT) protocols. These four-hour and two-day protocols, respectively, allow for the mass education of laypersons—such as police officials, fire brigade, and taxi and/or ambulance drivers—who are most likely to interact first with prehospital victims. Over 750 ATT participants and 168 BTT participants were trained across three Indian educational institutions at Jodhpur and Jaipur. Trainees were given didactic and hands-on education in a series of critical trauma topics, in addition to pretraining and post-training self-assessments to rate clinical confidence across curricular topics. Two-sample t-test statistical analyses were performed to compare pretraining and post-training confidence levels. Results Program development resulted in recruitment of a variety of career backgrounds for enrollment in both our ATT and BTT workshops. The workshops were run by local physicians from a wide spectrum of medical specialties and previously ATT-trained police officials. Statistically significant improvements in clinical confidence across all curricular topics for ATT and BTT protocols were identified (P < 0.0001). In addition, improvement in confidence after BTT training was similar in Jodhpur compared with Jaipur. Conclusions These results suggest a promising level of reliability and reproducibility across different geographic areas in rapidly Developing settings. Program expansion can offer an exponential growth in the training rate of medical first responders, which can help curb the trauma-related mortality in rapidly Developing economies. Future directions will include clinical competency assessments and further progressive differentiation into higher tiers of trauma expertise.
