Attracting and retaining customers is considered essential for success of any business entity operating all across the globe. Therefore, customer needs and demands need to be emphasized in order to earn a profitable market share. The present study has focused on the independent role of customerization and customer engagement with the mediating effect of brand performance (brand awareness, brand image and brand satisfaction) on brand love. The study has been conducted in a cross-sectional and causal manner. Data was collected through convenience sampling technique from 230 respondents, out of which 183 questionnaires were fully attempted, with a response rate of 79. 5%. Responses were analyzed through frequency distribution, correlation, simple linear regression and structural equational modelling analysis. The findings of the study have indicated positively significant relationships of customerization and customer engagement with brand performance and brand love.

This perspective article gathers the latest developments in mathematical and computational oncology tools that exploit network approaches for the mathematical modelling, analysis, and simulation of cancer development and therapy design. It instigates the community to explore new paths and synergies under the umbrella of the Special Issue “Networks in Cancer: From Symmetry Breaking to Targeted Therapy”. The focus of the perspective is to demonstrate how networks can model the physics, analyse the interactions, and predict the evolution of the multiple processes behind tumour-host encounters across multiple scales. From agent-based modelling and mechano-biology to machine learning and predictive modelling, the perspective motivates a methodology well suited to mathematical and computational oncology and suggests approaches that mark a viable path towards adoption in the clinic.

Positive Effect

The African Aerospace and Defence military expo is held biannually in South Africa and is classified as the biggest military expo (event) on the African continent. This study sought to determine the effects that travel motives, and life domains have on visitors’ quality-of-life. The study followed a convenience sampling technique, with fieldworkers administrating the measuring battery to visitors at the African Aerospace and Defence military expo. Data was gathered from 293 visitors regarding their travel motives, life domains, life domains overall, and quality-of-life. A structural equation modelling analysis indicated a positive linear relationship between the visitors’ travel motives, life domains (social life, leisure life, and self-life), life domains overall, and quality-of-life; all of which attained good composite reliabilities. The findings indicate that travel motives have an influence on visitors’ life domains, positive and negative, relevant to their perceived importance. Overall, a visit to this military expo had a positive effect on visitors’ quality-of-life. Managerial recommendations include maximising the uniqueness and novelty of the event, which cannot be done generically. Digital marketing should be aimed at certain lifestyle aspects that are most appealing to visitors, such as social, leisure, or military life. The approach would likely appeal to the higher-order needs of potential visitors, which could contribute to their overall life satisfaction. This research contributes to the literature and methodology in tourism, positive psychology, and quality-of-life.

This study aimed to establish the effects that travel motives and life domains have on visitors’ quality-of-life. Based on the setting, a convenience sampling technique was used in which fieldworkers administered the questionnaire to visitors at Comic Con Africa 2019. Data from 433 (N) completed questionnaires were captured regarding their travel motives, life domains, life domains overall, and quality-of-life affect, and analysed. A structural equation modelling analysis indicated a positive linear relationship between the visitors’ travel motives, life domains measured, life domains overall, and quality-of-life; all of which attained good composite reliabilities. The findings indicate that travel motives have an influence on visitors’ life domains, positive and negative, relevant to their perceived importance. Overall, a visit to this pop culture event had a positive effect on visitors’ quality-of-life. Based on the visitor demographics, social media marketing should be aimed at niche lifestyle aspects that are most enticing to visitor’s pop culture life. The approach would most likely appeal to the markets’ higher-order needs, which could increase visitor numbers and help improve their quality-of-life overall. This research opened the door to the new pop culture life domain, and contributes to the literature and methodology in tourism, life domains and quality-of-life.

Sustainable Development (SD) is a rich, challenging and thought-provoking construct in social sciences. The main purpose of this paper was to identify and explore the role played by primary school teachers in building up the idea of sustainable development (SD) among students. This paper was intended to identify that how a teacher can successfully execute the concept of SD by influencing students’ minds at the primary level. Quantitative survey technique were utilized for data collection. All the primary school teachers of Lahore division comprised the population of the study. Through multistage sampling technique, 352 primary school teachers were selected as participants of the study. A self-developed SD questionnaire incorporating four major factors (teachers’ awareness, pedagogy, curricular and co-curricular activities) with Cronbach’s alpha value = .93 was used to measure the role of teachers in building the sustainability concept among students at primary level. The results indicated a significant mean score difference among SD scores of teachers, sector wise (private and public). Furthermore, the results also reconnoitered the significant difference (p=.04) between the mean scores of female and male teachers in building up the SD concept in students’ minds.
