Meeting customer needs is considered to be vital for product success. Identifying users’ needs and requirements ensures maximum customers experience. Customers experience was looked from customers’ expectations and customers’ retention and the need of the customers was seen from latent needs, immediate needs and perceived users’ needs. This article does a study of iPhones usage in Nigeria with special consideration to immediate, perceived and latent users’ needs and also went on to address the problems of non satisfaction of the needs of customers and the frequent production of new iPhone without determining the effect the older versions have on the needs and requirements of their customers. The study concludes that differences exist between users’ needs and users’ requirement, the study went on to conclude also that using several information sources to obtain customer needs and requirement as not yielded much result. Based on these conclusions, the article recommend that Apple, the manufacturer of iPhones, should engage their customer more by creating a sort of awareness medium that is targeted at enlightening their customers on the purchase of its products. If such awareness is created, customers can in turn identify their needs and requirements adequately, and these will make them serve as good ambassador for Apple products and iPhones in particular in Nigeria.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

The proposed method uses state of the art convolutional neural networks CNNs and transfer learning to automatically recognize persons who are not wearing masks in a variety of circumstances. We discuss how this strategy improves public health and safety by providing an efficient manner of enforcing mask wearing standards. The report also discusses the obstacles, ethical concerns, and prospective applications of face mask detection systems in the ongoing fight against the pandemic.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

(Nudd, 2011 cited in Johnson, Li, Phan, Singer&
Trinh, 2012).
However, know-matter the global market position and
the amount of money spent by Apple in promoting
iPhones, it has not reflected the extent of its customer
experience in Nigeria. Customer experience which is
a process of interactions between an organization and
a customer over the duration of their relationship as
not been totally addressed (Wereda&Grzybowska,
2016). These interactions include customer's
attraction, awareness, discovery, cultivation,
advocacy along with purchase of goods and use of
services. IPhones users in Nigeria although attracted
to the devices have not been able to discover their
user’ needs and users’ requirement for the product.
And this is because Apple the producer of iPhones
has not created the sort of awareness that allows
customers to attain maximum experience for the
product.
Against the above paragraph comes the issue of
driving user’s requirement. Wereda&Grzybowska
(2016) user requirements often referred to as user
needs, describe what the user does with the iPhones
he or she acquires. The activities those using iPhones
must be able to perform with the device. Rather,
Apple concentrates in extracting records about
customers from all points of contacts and channels
across the entire organization. Apple gathers and
process customers’ data quickly and efficiently with
precision and accuracy without creating awareness for
the customers on how the device will satisfy their
needs and requirements. This single act has
continuously place the customers at a disadvantage
position. As customer experience which is a crucial
differentiator in today’s competitive global
marketplace has been relegate to the back by the
producer of iPhones.
Despite debates on the issue of users’ needs and
users’ requirement with emphases on customers
experiences. Most scholarly articles have looked at
customer experience from different dimensions and in
different geographical locations. For example,
Schmitt (2010) looks at customer experience from
strategic management of the consumers’ entire
interaction with the firm and their product. Mala
Srivastava and Dimple Kaul (2016) have proven in
their work “Exploring the link between customer
experience – loyalty – consumers spends” that there is
direct correlation between three independent
variables: how much people enjoyed dealing with the
firm, behavioural and attitudinal loyalty to the brand,
and their spending on the company’s products. As
such, this article falls under one of two categories.
Either they examine the business concepts at hand
with a generalized view, analyzing data collected
from multiple companies, as in the examples above,
or they look at a case of a specific brand, as in
“Scoring Points: How Tesco Continues to Win
Customer Loyalty” (Humby, Hunt and Phillips, 2008)
for instance. This article does a study of iPhones
usage in Nigeria with special consideration to
immediate, perceived and latent users’ needs and also
addresses the problems of non-satisfaction of the
needs of customers and the frequent production of
new iPhones which has made the Nigeria iPhones’
users even more vulnerable to exploitation.
2. Literature Review
2.1. Customers Experience
According to Oracle research (2012) customer
experience (CX) is a complex practice area that
requires clear vision, the right tools, and great
execution to succeed. There is substantial business
value in managing the customer experience
effectively. Good customer experience management
can strengthen brand preference through great
experiences; increase revenue with incremental sales
from existing customers; new sales from positive
word of mouth; improve customer loyalty and create
advocates through valued and memorable customer
interactions and lower costs by reducing customers’
fluctuation (Wereda&Grzybowska, 2016). Customer
experience is the internal and subjective response
customers have to any direct or indirect contact with a
company (De Keyser, Verleye, Lemon, Keiningham&
Klaus, 2020). Direct contact generally occurs in the
course of purchase, use, and service and is usually
initiated by the customer. Indirect contact most often
involves unplanned encounters with representations
of a company’s products, services, or brands and
takes the form of word-of-mouth recommendations or
criticisms, advertising, news reports, reviews, and so
forth.
To determine customer experience, the organization
should know its customers better than competitors do.
This means the organization should understand and
measure customers' journeys at the point of his/her
first contact till the completed purchase, use and
lastly return of products or warranty/claim procedure,
when needed. The more an organization knows about
its current and prospective customers, the more
effective it will be at delivering relevant offers to
them. The more relevant offers are, the closer
relationship between business and customers becomes
driving metrics like loyalty and retention up due to
the positive customers’ experience. Hence to
determine the experience of the customer, the level of
acquisition of the firms’ products, the ability to retain

customers and the product or service efficiency all
combine to show the experience customer derive.
Customer Acquisition
To thrive and prosper in today’s competitive business
environment, whether an organization is commercial,
public or not-for-profit, and such an organization
need to be focused on the needs of its customers
because if customers do not get what they want, they
will go elsewhere (Whalley&Headon 2001).
Customer acquisition refers to an organization’s
ability to increase its customer base. Customers are
assets that need to be acquired before they can be
managed for profit. Customer acquisition, however, is
still hugely important for companies in many
contexts: for new business start-ups, when entering
new geographic or customer market segments, when
launching a new product or service, when exploiting
new applications for an existing product or service,
when marketing low involvement products and
services, when repeat purchases are infrequent, and
when switching costs are low. Customer acquisition is
important because it has been observed that 25% or
more of customers may need replacing annually
(Hanan 2003; Buttle 2004). Hence the need to have
replacement for them is paramount.
Customer Retention
Retention is the ability to keep and grow current
customers. Customer retention is clearly a most
important objective in competitive and mature
markets. It is the activity that a selling organization
undertakes in order to reduce customer defections
(Osei, 2011). Customer retention is more than giving
the customer what they expect; it is about exceeding
their expectations so that they become loyal
advocates for the brand. Customer retention can be
defined as how companies or organizations are able to
maintain the existing customers’ base on establishing
good relations with all who buy the company’s
product (Kotler citedAnifowose, Alaba&Olatunde,
2020).
Users’ Needs and Users Requirements
Understanding user requirements is an integral part of
any business design. It is critical to the successful
interaction between the customers or users of the
company’s products and the organization itself. If an
item is produced and such item do not in any way
addresses what the user of the product so desires, the
user requirement for such a product have to be looked
into if customers’ experience or expectation is a thing
to consider. Understanding user requirements and
making them available as part of the development
process is a key activity in human-centred design
(Coelho, 2014). It provides the basis for an
appropriate design solution and its evaluation.
Without proper statements of user requirements, the
development process cannot be informed about what
is required from the perspective of the use of the
interactive system (Bevan,Carter, Earthy,
Geis&Harker, 2018). Cohelo emphasizes the need to
specify 'experience' requirements relating to users’
expected perceptions and responses about a system or
service in addition to task-related requirements and
usability requirements (Coelho, 2014).
Wereda&Grzybowska (2016) the need for any
product is bound around customers’ immediate,
perceived and latent needs. Customer needs can be
defined as the problems that customers intend to solve
with the purchase of a good or service. The
requirements of a customer can be further categorized
in to three: Normal requirements – requirements
typically what one gets by just asking customers what
they want. Expected requirements – these are the
obvious / compulsory requirements. For example, if
meal is served hot, customers barely notice it. If it's
cold or too hot, dissatisfaction occurs. Exciting
Requirements– These are beyond the customer's
expectations. If provided, customer would be excited.
If not, they would hardly complain.
Customers have needs related to their problems and
what the products enable them to do (Griffin, 2005;
Peppers and Rogers, 2011). Needs depend on a
situation, have different priorities, and can be
identified without knowing how to address them
(Ulrich and Eppinger, 2012; Peppers and Rogers,
2011). A customer’s need is the customer’s own
description of a desired product benefit. Customer
needs often correlate with the customer’s values and
behavior (Peppers and Rogers, 2011). A deep
understanding of needs helps when selecting the best
technology and features for products development
(Griffin, 2005).Various challenges exist in customer
need identification and gathering. Identifying real
customer needs requires understanding real problems
and what products enable customers to do (Cooper,
2011).
Customers often cannot articulate their requirements,
they have unprofitable requests, are unaware of
possibilities, propose incremental improvements they
believe suppliers will implement, and propose the
same things to competitors (Griffin, 2005). Hence the
methods and techniques for gathering customer needs
include but not limited to interviews, observations
and focus groups, becoming a user, customer
advisory boards, websites, panels and groups.
Furthermore, brainstorming, innovation summits,
customer integration into a product development
team, discussions with customers, ethnography,
identifying lead users, and market surveys (Alam,

2005; Griffin, 2005; Cooper, 2011; Ulrich and
Eppinger , 2012; Kotler and Keller, 2009).
3. Customers Experience and Users’ Needs and
Users Requirements
Customer needs and customer experience can be
considered as something that is at the center of every
successful business. Every business needs a reason
for their customers to buy from them and not their
competitors. Badran& Al-Haddad (2018) investigate
the impact of user experience variables (utility,
usability, aesthetics, identification and value) on
customer satisfaction of smartphones in Jordan. A
convenience sample (393) questionnaires were
measured. Simple and hierarchal regression was used
for statistical analysis, covering (78.6%) response
rate. Adoption of the UX style was high and
customer’s satisfaction was also significant. There
was a statistical significance in adopting UX pattern
for smartphone users due to gender, experience and
age.
Majava, Nuottila, Haapasalo& Law (2014) this study
explores customer need identification and related
challenges in product management and research and
development (R&D) in a market-driven context,
where a large number of customers exist. Customer
need identification and challenges from product
management and R&D managers’ perspectives are
studied in two new product development (NPD)
projects: one in business-to-business (B2B) and the
other in business-to-consumer (B2C) market. While
differences between B2B and B2C markets exist, the
results indicate that product management
professionals must collaborate with various
stakeholders and utilize many information sources to
obtain and interpret diverging customer needs.
Recommended practices for companies to tackle
various customer-need related challenges include
systematic ways of working, small cross-functional
teams in product definition, and avoiding early
handovers between product management and R&D.
4. Conclusion and Recommendations
Meeting customer needs is a key prerequisite for a
product success. However, understanding these needs
is difficult and increasingly complex. Many
challenges exist, especially in a market-driven
context, where a company typically has a large
number of customers instead of only one who decides
on product functionality. This study explores user’s
needs and driving users’ requirement for maximum
customers’ experience. Related challenges in
customers experience inusers and requirement needs
of iPhone usage in Nigeria. Despite rich literature on
customers experience and users’ needs, the viewpoint
has been inadequately addressed. While differences
exist between user’ needs and users’ requirement, the
results indicate that customers experience includes
retentions and acquisition of various stakeholders and
using several information sources to obtain customer
needs as not yielded much result. As the needs
diverge significantly in a large customer base, and
understanding them requires a lot of interpretations.
Base on this conclusion, the study recommend as
follow:
1. Apple the manufacturer of iPhones should engage
their customer more by creating a sort of
awareness medium that is targeted at enlightening
their customers as it rates to the purchase of its
products. If such awareness is created the
customers can in turn serve as an ambassador for
the products in Nigeria and issue of the product
not meeting users’ needs and requirement will be
fully addressed.
2. Since customer's are attracted to IPhones usage,
the government of Nigeria should set down laws
that will compel Apple the manufacturer of
IPhones to differentiate the benefits associated
with the different IPhones series they produces.
This will help the customers to know if the new
device the purchase meets the effort spent in
getting the money use for the purchase of the
item.
3. Customers on their part should identify or make a
list of their expectation and experience in the
usage of the old and new iPhone devices. This
will enable them to decide as to whether their
buying habit is rational or irrational.
