Assessment of Predictors that Influence Parents’ Satisfaction towards Private Kindergartens : A SERVQUAL Analysis

This study examines parents’ satisfaction towards the service quality of private kindergarten in Kuching. Five dimensions in SERVQUAL are applied as the indicators that influence parents’ satisfaction. In total 400 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents. Data collected is analyzed by employing descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, correlation and multiple linear regressions. In this research, the Pearson Correlation shows the five SERVQUAL dimensions have a positive and relationship on parents’ satisfaction. In order to identify the best predictor that contributes to parents’ satisfaction, the multiple linear regressions are used to predict the impact on the five SERVQUAL dimensions on parents’ satisfaction. In a nutshell, responsiveness is the most significant and dominant dimension that influences parents’ satisfaction. The results suggest the private kindergarten operators emphasize more on ensuring continuous communication with parents. Teachers play an important role as they should regularly tell and ask parents in order to understand each child's situation. Teachers are suggested to promptly respond to children’s needs and make efforts to address them

Characterization of early host responses in adults with dengue disease

BACKGROUND: While dengue-elicited early and transient host responses preceding defervescence could shape the disease outcome and reveal mechanisms of the disease pathogenesis, assessment of these responses are difficult as patients rarely seek healthcare during the first days of benign fever and thus data are lacking. METHODS: In this study, focusing on early recruitment, we performed whole-blood transcriptional profiling on dengue virus PCR positive patients sampled within 72 h of self-reported fever presentation (average 43 h, SD 18.6 h) and compared the signatures with autologous samples drawn at defervescence and convalescence and to control patients with fever of other etiology. RESULTS: In the early dengue fever phase, a strong activation of the innate immune response related genes were seen that was absent at defervescence (4-7 days after fever debut), while at this second sampling genes related to biosynthesis and metabolism dominated. Transcripts relating to the adaptive immune response were over-expressed in the second sampling point with sustained activation at the third sampling. On an individual gene level, significant enrichment of transcripts early in dengue disease were chemokines CCL2 (MCP-1), CCL8 (MCP-2), CXCL10 (IP-10) and CCL3 (MIP-1α), antimicrobial peptide β-defensin 1 (DEFB1), desmosome/intermediate junction component plakoglobin (JUP) and a microRNA which may negatively regulate pro-inflammatory cytokines in dengue infected peripheral blood cells, mIR-147 (NMES1). CONCLUSIONS: These data show that the early response in patients mimics those previously described in vitro, where early assessment of transcriptional responses has been easily obtained. Several of the early transcripts identified may be affected by or mediate the pathogenesis and deserve further assessment at this timepoint in correlation to severe disease

A Survey of Parent Satisfaction Level Using Service Quality Towards Private Kindergarten in Kuching

This study examines parents' satisfaction towards service quality of private kindergarten in Kuching. Five dimensions in SERVQUAL are applied as the indicators to influence parents' satisfaction. There are 400 sets of questionnaire distributed to the respondents and the response rate is 100% in this research. Data collected is analysed by employing descriptive statistic, reliability analysis, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regressions. In this research, Pearson Correlation shows the five SERVQUAL dimensions have positive relationship with the parent satisfaction. The multiple linear regressions is used to predict the impact of independent variable on dependent variable in order to explore the best predictors of parents' satisfaction out of the five dimensions in SERVQUAL. In a nutshell, empathy is the most significant and dominant in this research
