Enhancing customer experiences in airline code sharing: Understanding impact, expectations, and strategies for improvement
Get PDFThis research project aimed to explore the impact of airline code-sharing on customer satisfaction and identify potential strategies for improving these services. Code-sharing, where multiple airlines share the same flight, has become a common practice in the aviation industry, especially among major alliances like Star Alliance, OneWorld, and SkyTeam. However, the effectiveness of these arrangements in enhancing customer experiences remains a topic of interest. Our study involved surveying 169 participants to gather insights into their familiarity with code-sharing, satisfaction levels, and preferences for potential improvements.https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rsc25pres/1010/thumbnail.jp
A Descriptive Study of Baseline Activity Levels of Tursiops truncatus
No full textWell-being of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) has been measured in many ways, including activity levels. Activity levels are composed of behaviors that vary with intensity and range from floats, breaches, perimeter swims, and aerials. Deviations from baseline behavior or activity level may be indicative of changes in state of well-being. The purpose of this study was to assess the activity level of a large social grouping of bottlenose dolphins in human care during baseline observations. A total of 215 5-min observation sessions were collected for a population of 15 to 18 bottlenose dolphins located in Roatán, Honduras between 2019-2024. The findings indicated the lowest and highest levels of activity changed across years, which may have been related to social composition. Future research should evaluate the impact of different social compositions (e.g., presences or absences of males) on activity levels.https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rscpos24/1044/thumbnail.jp
Isn’t it a partnership?: Physician Partner Life Satisfaction
Get PDFThe American Medical Association Alliance (AMAA) conducted the Physician Family Experience Survey in early 2023.There has been an increase in physician burnout and suicide; suicide for physicians being at a higher rate than that of the general public. This is shown with 1 out of 10 physicians attempting considering suicide in 2021(7).
Literature has indicated that physician burnout leads to secondary burnout in the physician family (4).This survey sought to understand the current state of the physician family experience and compare this with historical studies through statistical analysis. This statistical study aims to identify and model predictors of life satisfaction among physician families via standard tests, modeling and item response theoryhttps://commons.stmarytx.edu/rscpos24/1025/thumbnail.jp
The Effect of Supranational Organizations on Investment Project Success
Get PDFSupranational organizations, such as the World Bank, associate with member countries from across the world that cede an aspect of their authority and sovereignty. 137 countries partner with supranational organizations for the purpose of seeking benefits whether financially, militarily, or politically. Without understanding the effectiveness of supranational organizations, international communities risk becoming negatively impacted through the means of inaccurate support via financial aid through investment projects. This study examines the link between investment project success and support from supranational organizations. Analyzing 4,273 projects across 137 countries from the World Bank’s Private Participation in Infrastructure (PPI) 2022 report, it suggests a positive correlation between bilateral and multilateral support and project success.
The application of this study is to illustrate the effectiveness of supranational entities in terms of investment project success through the means of bilateral and multilateral support to provide a more insightful view to foreign aid in investment projects.https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rscpos24/1021/thumbnail.jp
