No full textThis internship report is submitted in a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration,2014.Cataloged from PDF version of Internship report.Includes bibliographical references (page 63).Airtel is the sixth telecom operators in Bangladesh. This company is the subsidiary of Telecommunications Company Airtel India in Bangladesh .Airtel Bangladesh Limited is one of the fastest growing mobile services providers in Bangladesh and is a concern of Bharti Airtel Limited, a leading global telecommunications services provider. The company offers a wide array of innovative mobile services, including voice, value added services, data and m-commerce products and is focused on expanding its state-of-the-art mobile network both for coverage and capacity. Since, all of the operators are offering almost same categories of products it has become a big challenge to retain the existing subscribers and acquisition of new customers. At this moment Airtel is trying to reach the Retailers with various promotional activities and is attempting to make their brand presence felt. Through their significant advances in Bangladesh, Airtel is moving ahead on the track to achieve their goals. As a student BBA program, I got the opportunity to complete my internship program in such a multinational telecom company. The internship program is the partial requirement of my BBA program and the duration of the internship session was 3 months. I worked in the central sales department at Dhaka -1 Zone of Airtel Bangladesh. The report has been prepared in align with my job responsibilities and experiences at Airtel. I have conducted a research survey among Airtel retailers who sells both SIM and recharge. After that I have designed the research in a descriptive way and collected data are analyzed quantitatively. The research findings show that there are several factors that make the retailers dissatisfied regarding Airtel. Insufficient SIM delivery, Poor network quality, delay on SIM replacement, poor commission structure and bad internet service etc. are the areas for customer dissatisfaction. On the other hand, the retailers are satisfied for the low call rate of prepaid connection, higher commission payment, availability of the prepaid Ezee load, tariffs of the prepaid packages, lives enriching value added service, and for customer supports after sales. However, the overall analysis describes that the most of the Airtel prepaid subscribers are moderate subscribers. At the end of the project, some recommendations are given to help the Airtel management so that they can deploy appropriate decisions to reduce the retailer’s dissatisfaction.Muhammad Atiqur RahmanB.

Reflections on humanizing education for Economics and Management Sciences
No full textThis book compiles 15 written expressions of the participants of 2021 KENMS ‘Ibadah Camp with the theme “attributes of true believers in the Qur’an and Sunnah” within the framework of humanizing education with Maqasid al-Shari’ah. The attributes of true believers should be rooted in spirituality.
Gairuzazmi contended that humanizing education at the Kulliyyah of Economics and Management Sciences has started with the humanization in the Islamisation of economics and management sciences. Each Islamic value has been incorporated in various disciplines. Mohamed Aslam and Hassanuddeen have incorporated the concept of zuhd into the value of responsible consumption in economics, finance and management. Rafikul Islam pointed at managing time with some practical tips.
Ahasanul Haque and Md Atiqur Rahman Sarker argued that the Sejahtera Academic Framework (SAF) has been used to guide humanizing education in marketing and business studies. Rafikul Islam contended that the manifestation of humanising education has been related to embracing priorities. Indeed, Suhaimi, Yusof and Nur Arfifah argued that the “Sejahtera” synonyms have been used in humanizing management studies. More importantly, Muhammad Irwan pointed at the Sejahtera heart and spirituality that derived from ahadiths.
Fatimah Noor Rashidah argued that humanizing education as sustainability allows one to act. The argument has been reflected by Nurdianawati Irwani on humanising students with five reflections. In lieu of that, Hamdino argued the role of patience and tawakkal in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Nur Fariza argued that humanizing education requires a second chance in managing human resources. Marhanum argued that the humanizing education process requires ibda’ binafsi. Thus, Rafiqa pointed at the practices of dhikr in daily life with ikhlas.
Suhaimi, Yusof, Dolhadi and Rohaziah argued that humanizing education in Business Ethics was commendable from Maqasidh al-Shariah. In fact, humanizing education through sejahtera community edible gardens as the immediate application of humanizing education
Introducing a tentative framework for adopting e-learning systems in developing countries
No full textIn order to develop quality and excellence in e-Learning environment, manyinitiatives have been carried out in developing countries. In Bangladesh Informationand communication technologies (ICTS) are considered valuable tools for educationbut there is no proper framework for the country to develop a quality e-Learningsystem. Though it is somewhat used in higher level of studies but it is still new inprimary education system. If primary education system can be developed through elearning,then it will be more beneficial for higher level of studies.Our goal is to introduce a possible framework to adopt a quality e-Learning system inprimary educational institutes. So that the primary level education system can bedeveloped and take the advantages of e-Learning system.The result of this study would create an impact for the community who are stillindifferent about the development of primary education system and prompt thedecision makers of the primary educational institute to introduce e-Learning system intheir institutes through quality framework for e-learning.Program: Magisterutbildning i informati
Biosynthetic and natural nanocarbon production
No full textCarbon, with its various allotropes, is one of the most common elements in the universe. Nanocarbon is an example of an allotrope with a well-defined structure and a particle size on the nanometer scale (Vivekchand et al., 2004). The utilization of various carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) has gained significant traction in recent years, with extensive
global research efforts dedicated to exploring their exceptional properties. It is crucial to acknowledge the remarkable technological advancements that can be achieved through the utilization of bio-based carbons, as their
potential should not be underestimated (Dalvand et al., 2016; Murthy et al., 2021; Dutta et al., 2022). Exclusively, the vast majority of porous carbons are regarded as cost-effective and possess environmental prominence potential
Bioelectricity in Malaysia: economic feasibility, environmental and deforestation implications
No full textWe investigate the economic feasibility of bioelectricity production from biomass in Malaysia and its impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and storage, agricultural prices, agricultural employment and deforestation. For this purpose, we develop a partial equilibrium model that projects agricultural prices, production, imports, exports, domestic consumption and land use in 5-year increments between 2015 and 2065. Our results show that by 2030 biomass-generated electricity can supply 36.5 per cent of the electricity generated in Malaysia, 16 times more than the 2016 electricity supply from biomass. Increased bioelectricity production from biomass will significantly reduce GHG emissions and will help Malaysia meet its commitment in the Paris Agreement to mitigate GHG emission by 45 per cent before 2030. Our modelling shows that biomass-generated electricity creates a derived demand for waste biomass that expands the area of oil palm plantations. The expansion lowers agricultural prices, boosts agricultural employment and leads to some deforestation as landowners clear rainforest to plant oil palm trees. Nonetheless, the deforestation does not increase GHG emissions since GHG gains from bioelectricity significantly exceed GHG losses from deforestation
Synthesis and characterization of Mg-Zn ferrite based flexible microwave composites and its application as SNG metamaterial
No full textIn this article, we propose SNG (single negative) metamaterial fabricated on Mg-Zn ferrite-based flexible microwave composites. Firstly, the flexible composites are synthesized by the sol-gel method having four different molecular compositions of MgxZn(1-x)Fe2O4, which are denoted as Mg20, Mg40, Mg60, and Mg80. The structural, morphological, and microwave properties of the synthesized flexible composites are analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and conventional dielectric assessment kit (DAK) to justify their possible application as dielectric substrate at microwave frequency regime. Thus the average grain size is found from 20 to 24 nm, and the dielectric constants are 6.01, 5.10, 4.19, and 3.28, as well as loss tangents, are 0.002, 0.004, 0.006, and 0.008 for the prepared Mg-Zn ferrites, i.e., Mg20, Mg40, Mg60, and Mg80 respectively. Besides, the prepared low-cost Mg-Zn ferrite composites exhibit high flexibility and lightweight, which makes them a potential candidate as a metamaterial substrate. Furthermore, a single negative (SNG) metamaterial unit cell is fabricated on the prepared, flexible microwave composites, and their essential electromagnetic behaviors are observed. Very good effective medium ratios (EMR) vales are obtained from 14.65 to 18.47, which ensure the compactness of the fabricated prototypes with a physical dimension of 8 x 6.5 mm2. Also, the proposed materials have shown better performances comparing with conventional FR4 and RO4533 materials, and they have covered S-, C-, X-, Ku-, and K-band of microwave frequency region. Thus, the prepared, flexible SNG metamaterials on MgxZn(1-x)Fe2O4 composites are suitable for microwave and flexible technologies. 2021, The Author(s).This work is supported by the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia, the Fundamental Research Grant Schemes (FRGS), having the research Grant Number of FRGS/1/2018/TK04/UKM/01/1.
