This study applied SERVQUAL scale of Parasuraman et al to measure factors affecting customer satisfaction on service quality at Vietnam Technological and Commercial Joint Stock Bank - An Giang Branch (Techcombank An Giang). The study was conducted to survey 207 customers who have been using the service at Techcombank An Giang. The survey results were analyzed by the Cronbach's Alpha reliability test method, then used Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to verify and evaluate the scale of service quality. The results of the regression analysis show that customer's satisfaction about service quality at Techcombank An Giang includes four factors: The factor with the highest level is the Empathy with Beta = 0.253, the second of factor is the Responsibility with Beta = 0.248, ranked third in the influence level is the Tangible with Beta = 0.235, and the lowest impact level is the Reliability with Beta = 0.144. The research also uses statistical methods to describe and test the differences of demographic factors with customer's satisfactionon service quality.The analysis results show that there is no difference between customer's satisfaction on service quality and factors such as gender, age, income, number of transaction banks, regular transaction banks, and time to use the service at Techcombank An Giang. Through the research results, the author would like to propose some ideas to improve the quality of services, thereby attracting new customers and importantly, keeping traditional customers because the development orientation of Techcombank is to take care of old customers to cross sell other products of the bank. The Stud results offer a basis for the branch to identify the factors influencing customer satisfaction on their service quality, thereby having an appropriate strategy to improve customer satisfaction.

While project management success focuses upon the processes and the successful accomplishments of cost and time objectives, product success deals with the quality of the final product. Recently, quality of the constructed highway has been considered highly important reason for the pavement response and its design life. The main objective of this paper is to improve the management of highway projects in Egypt by determining the most important factors influencing the quality performance of this industry. In total, 39 factors that may influence the quality of highway projects have been defined through a detailed literature review. The factors are tabulated in a questionnaire form, which is sent out to 13 owners of divided highways, 27 owners of regional roads, and 15 consultants. The analysis of the respondents’ perspectives using fuzzy triangle approach shows that the most important factors affecting the quality are availability of experienced staff in the owner’s and contractor’s teams during the project execution; efficiency of the owner’s inspection team; clarity of responsibilities and roles for each owner, consultant, and contractor; pavement which is not designed according to the regional conditions (e.g., soil type, temperature, and traffic volume); and asphalt quality and type used in the construction process.

The article deals with the results of the analysis of international and domestic experience in the use of network services, which can independently evaluate the quality of electronic publications and scientists’ publication activity. It can be achieved by the analysis of the values of scientometric indicators included in the bibliometric open electronic systems. This approach is associated with certain risks of objective evaluation of researchers’ scientific activity efficiency. The conditions for the inclusion of scientific publications in the search systems like Google Scholar are considered. It is concluded that the scientometric base, which is today an international and widely used in practice, should be developed to provide a more adequate reflection of the character and level of scientists’ scientific activity, as well as their personal contribution to the development of certain areas of science.

Tujuan dari tulisan ini difokuskan untuk mengkaji persepsi masyarakat pesisir (nelayan) terhadap penggunaan energi alternatif untuk melaut, selain itu juga akan dianalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi nelayan untuk mengganti solar dengan biodiesel dalam mengatasi kelangkaan BBM. Lokasi penelitian yang dipilih adalah Cilacap dan penelitian dilakukan pada tahun 2006. Dari hasil pengolahan data, sebesar 72,50 persen nelayan mempunyai persepsi yang tinggi (positif) terhadap keberadaan biodiesel sebagai energi alternatif dalam mengatasi kelangkaan BBM. Persepsi nelayan yang rendah (negatif) akan menghambat pelaksanaan program desa nelayan mandiri energi, sedangkan persepsi yang tinggi (positif) merupakan dukungan dalam mencapai tujuan program desa nelayan mandiri energi. Terdapat 27,50% nelayan yang masih ragu-ragu tentang keberadaan biodiesel. Menurut nelayan keberadaan biodiesel belum tentu harganya lebih murah dibanding solar. Ada juga responden yang meragukan kualitas biodisel. Ada tiga faktor yang sangat mempengarugi responden dalam proses keputusan pembelian biodiesel harga, kualitas (keamanan), dan distribusi. Pada uji signifikansi 0,05 hasil analisis Spearman memperlihatkan adanya hubungan yang sangat tinggi (derajat asosiasi tinggi) antara harga dengan keputusan membeli biodisel, yaitu sebesar 1 (nilai koefisien korelasi), artinya semakin murah harga biodisel maka semakin besar keinginan responden untuk mengganti solar dengan biodiesel. Faktor distribusi menunjukkan adanya korelasi yang rendah, yaitu sebesar -0, 293 pada uji signifikansi 0,05.  Tittle: Coastal Community Perception to Use Alternative Energi for FishingThis paper was focused on analyzing the coastal community perception on the use of alternative energy for fishing, as well as the factors influencing the fisher to substitute diesel fuel by biodiesel to overcome the high cost problem of fossil fuel. Research was conducted in Cilacap in 2006. The results showed that 72,50% of fishers indicated a high perception (positive) to biodiesel as alternative energy while 27,50% of fisher were uncertained to the use of biodiesel. According to fishers biodesel price was not lower then the solar price.Some fishers were also doubted to the quality of biodesel. There were 3 factors affecting responden to decide on the use of biodiesel : price, quality and distribution. The decision was highly affected by the price (coefficient value=1) based on Spearman analysis. It means, the cheaper the price, the more probability of respondents to use the biodiesel will be. Distribution factor shows a low correlation with value of = -0,293 at level significancy of 0.05.

The article is devoted to the role and contribution of major repairs of tenement buildings for sustaining a comfortable human living environment, which is directly linked to a region’s living standards. The author identifies the constituents of a living environment and the factors influencing its maintenance in the framework of normative regulation. Major repairs include the maintenance of the performance properties — eliminating the physical deterioration and obsolescence of a tenement building, as well as ensuring the tenants’ and other persons’ safety (in terms of a wide variety of microclimate-creating factors like the quality of breathing air, lighting, noise, vibration, etc.) during and after the repair works. However, it does not target the principal technical and economic characteristics. In compliance with legal and normative regulations, major repairs programs target parts of hard assets and public premises of a tenement building. The author proposes a methodological approach to the assessment of the factors affecting the quality of life during and after the major repairs. The approach is based on the well-known method of socio-economic research involving a systemic analysis, which incorporates the multitude of interdependent and interrelated living-environment-forming factors.

One of the most important conditions for the effectiveness of science is the motivation of academic staff of universities as key and direct producers of new knowledge. The purpose of the article was to substantiate the factors of efficiency in managing the publication activity of Russian universities. The nature and density of the relationship between the number of scientific publications and the level of citation of 19 leading countries in the world, including Russia, were determined by means of statistical analysis and the method of clusters. It has been empirically proven that the priority model for the development of publication activity should be an intensive model, which aims at improving the quality of scientific publications and the level of their citation. Moreover, a survey of 1573 young scientists (under the age of 39) and 2461 senior scientists from 14 universities in Russia was conducted. It investigated the factors of effective management of the publication activity at Russian universities. The results contribute to a better understanding on how Russian universities can activate and foster the flow of high-quality publication outputs by their researchers.

The effectiveness of research teams and scientists is largely estimated by their publication activity. One indicator of the quality of scientific work is the absence of plagiarism. The purpose of this paper was to consider the problems that arise with the formal-mechanistic approach to the detection of plagiarism in scientific papers. The questions of the correlation of meaning and plagiarism; quoting your own work; quoting and inaccurate quoting; the use of generally accepted expressions, laws, definitions; the need to refine anti-plagiarism systems are considered. It is shown that due to the fact that anti-plagiarism systems do not analyze the meaning of the text, “overdiagnosis” occurs. As a result of an uncritical approach to the conclusions of such systems, the writing of scientific papers becomes more complicated. The necessity of developing more accurate criteria for determining what is plagiarized in scientific papers is noted. Some suggestions were made to reduce the shortcomings of the formal approach.

A visitor's decision to use a particular recreational site is influenced by the individual's taste as well as the characteristics of the site. For this reason, improved knowledge of the visitors' interests and factors influencing their choices are vital for both planning and policy formulations in coastal development. This study examines visitor characteristics and desired site-specific characteristics in order to determine the factors affecting use of the Louisiana coast for specific recreational purposes. We use a multinomial logit model and internet survey data to evaluate the factors affecting individuals' decisions to visit coastal Louisiana for a specific use. Results suggest that the major variables affecting the choice of coastal recreational activities include environmental quality of the site, income, and travel time.
