Studies on association amongst relationship marketing and loyalty of patients are still trying to establish its presence in the healthcare management. Also, the variables impacting this association are still in exploratory phases. The research is being carried out for determining the nature of that relationship and also examining mediating and moderating effect of different variables. Data collected through various Scopus and other online databases have been used for this study. Literature review has been carried out by dividing it into three parts, relationship marketing, patient loyalty and variables like patient satisfaction, age, gender, family size, health insurance, etc. Primary data was collected from 938 patients of private healthcare providers by administering questionnaire online as well as in person. PLS-SEM was applied to analyze the data, which was used after testing the instrument for reliability and validity. After Covid-19 pandemic everyone felt need of a good health insurance but in actual many people were not having a simple health insurance cover also. Hospitals will have a major role in promoting health insurance and in turn providing quality service, but their role is currently limited to processing of health insurance and nothing more. Model from the study will help understand organizations the strength and direction of relationship between patient loyalty and efforts taken for marketing along with impact of moderating and mediating variable on the same. Future research can look into the other variables that will moderate or mediate the relationship in turn will help not only healthcare organizations but insurance companies also to develop product or service according to requirement of relationship. Research focuses on impact of moderating effect of health insurance on association amongst marketing efforts taken for relationship marketing and loyalty of patients through patient satisfactions’ mediation which was not studied before this. The study aims to test the conceptual model of moderating impact of health insurance on association between relationship marketing, patient loyalty and patient satisfaction using SEM.

Agriculture and food production has been immensely impacted by digitalization; paving the way for advanced data processing techniques and technologies possible in the field of agriculture. The aim of Smart farming is to extract information from agricultural entities to resolve issues and challenges faced with regard to rising demand, food security, and climate change. Digital Twin is a concept that has the potential to increase production and efficiency while reducing the use of energy and other materials. The potential for digital twins to succeed in sustainable agriculture is enormous. Since the agriculture sector is dynamic and complicated, it needs an advanced management system. The necessity for automatic and self-reliant agriculture set up at the initial level is critical due to the frequent occurrence of natural disasters like floods and diseases. Due to problems with soil-based systems such as erosion, heavy manual labor, water availability, and productivity issues, soilless agriculture is becoming more and more popular. Digital techniques are expected to increase the optimization of processes and assist in agricultural decision-making.

Farming is the backbone of the Indian economy, with a critical role in its GDP growth. By 2050, the world’s population is expected to reach 9.7 billion, requiring a 70 percent increase in global food production. Traditional agricultural practices are becoming increasingly inefficient and unreliable because of several issues, including soil degradation, water stress, nutrition shortage, insufficient infrastructure linkages, post-harvest loss, and information asymmetry. However, detrimental climate change is one of the most severe concerns confronting this industry. Thus, smart farming or digital agriculture is now regarded as a far more sustainable practice as it includes the management of farms via edge cutting technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), drones, big data etc. to maximize the quantity and quality of crops while minimizing the abundance of human work needed. It entails using sensors and automated irrigation procedures to monitor agricultural land, temperature, soil moisture, pH level, etc. Employing these technologies increases profitability, decreases waste, and preserves environmental quality. Although the smart agriculture business is expanding rapidly due to the world’s growing population and rising food consumption, this field still has a scope of academic literature. This paper aims to describe the different cutting-edge technologies currently being used in smart farming, their use cases, and their future directions. For this paper, a case study technique has been employed to study several technologies and their prospects in this endeavor. This study will be helpful to academicians and Government officials that can further help farmers to create a smart and more sustainable agriculture industry.

Healthcare has always been a very profitable and resource-intensive industry, and it is also one of the only ones that have never reached a digital transformation peak. A network of 3D virtual worlds centered on social interaction is known as a metaverse. As the world becomes more dependent on technology, more consideration must be given to both individual privacy and the solutions offered by cybersecurity companies. In the metaverse, patient data security is a challenge. High-tech wearables including glasses, gloves, sensors, and other wearables that can detect patients' vital signs are needed in order to fully utilize the metaverse in healthcare. Technology is constrained since the hardware is still pricey and cannot be accessed by many members of society. The health Metaverse framework primarily focuses on telemedicine and online health management, multimodal medical information standards, the fusion of medical and social data, and medical artificial intelligence. Additionally, it offers crucial inventive dynamism in surgical procedures, medical education, and the interactions between service providers and clients. Technology improvements, gamification of healthcare, patient privacy protection, and barriers stopping individuals from giving up reality are all obstacles. This technological advancement had a lot to offer the ailing medical infrastructure industry, including telemedicine services, virtual examinations employing VR, AR, and blockchain to assure secure data and financial transmissions, as well as a variety of other as-yet untapped possibilities. Data security, data interoperability, and laws are just a few of the difficulties that the healthcare sector in the metaverse will face. To address these issues, new infrastructure, standards, and procedures will be required. This study looks at a number of issues that affect the healthcare industry and how to address them when the metaverse enters the mainstream of healthcare.

This study aimed to elicit the critical factors influencing Indian domestic vacationers' travel intention for leisure vacation destination choice amidst COVID-19. The study proposed a new model based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), expanding it by adding contextual variables like perceived risk, perceived knowledge of COVID-19, and information search behaviour. The study used a quantitative approach using online social media platforms and emails of 312 respondents to analyze and test the hypotheses using IBM SPSS and AMOS tools. The results indicated that physical and functional risk negatively influenced attitude;whereas, psychological risk negatively influenced travel intention. Perceived knowledge of COVID-19 significantly influenced travel intention. Attitude strongly mediated subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and perceived knowledge of COVID-19 to travel intention. This explains the strong implications for travel destination marketers for marketing safer destination choices to vacationers. © 2022, Associated Management Consultants Pvt. Ltd..
