Abstract 

Digital financial inclusion represents the integration of digital technology to extend financial services to traditionally underserved or unbanked populations, particularly in remote and low-income areas. It addresses key barriers such as limited physical banking infrastructure, high transaction costs, and lack of credit histories by leveraging tools like mobile money platforms, block chain, and artificial intelligence. These innovations enable secure, efficient, and affordable access to banking, credit, insurance, and payment systems. The transformative potential of digital financial inclusion is immense, fostering economic growth, reducing inequality, and empowering marginalized groups such as women, rural populations, and small businesses. Digital payment solutions simplify commerce, while peer-to-peer lending and micro insurance ensure financial resilience during emergencies. Moreover, digital platforms contribute to financial literacy by making educational resources and tools more accessible. However, challenges remain, including the digital divide, regulatory constraints, and cyber security risks. Bridging these gaps requires collaborative efforts among governments, private sectors, and non-profits to develop policies, invest in digital infrastructure, and ensure inclusive design of financial products. Digital financial inclusion thus not only serves as a catalyst for economic empowerment but also aligns with sustainable development goals by reducing poverty, fostering equality, and promoting inclusive growth.

Abstract
This research investigates how various e-banking service quality dimensions are reliability, responsiveness, accessibility, ease of use, and security along with demographic factors influence customer satisfaction and loyalty. It underscores the critical role of service quality in shaping customer experiences, with reliability and security emerging as pivotal elements. Demographic variables such as age, gender, marital status, occupation, and income are identified as moderators in these relationships. Employing structural equation modelling (SEM), the study analyses the direct effect of service quality on satisfaction and how satisfaction mediates customer loyalty. The results demonstrate that satisfied customers are more inclined to remain loyal to e-banking platforms. These findings offer valuable insights for financial institutions to enhance their e-banking services and tailorofferings to meet diverse customer needs. Strengthening security and simplifying usability are highlighted as significant drivers of satisfaction. Customizing marketing efforts based on demographic segments can further boost loyalty. Overall, the research provides strategic guidance for optimizing customer experiences and fostering long-term trust in e-banking services.
Keywords: e-banking services, customer loyalty, customer satisfaction, customer experiences, marketing efforts.

Abstract

        In the aviation sector, manufacturers are now researching hybrid electric aircraft with the goal of lowering the cost index and environmental effect. Wide-body aircraft, on the other hand, are prepared for takeoff once their check-list requirements are met. An aircraft is ready for landing when it has reached its maximum operational altitudes after a period of flight. Keeping the battery at its maximum level is therefore a significant task between these two stages. During takeoff and landing, the aircraft's thrust and reverse thrust require high battery levels. Exporting oil is a little difficult for some countries, but not all of them, especially those who run tiny airlines.

Abstract

     Industry 5.0, often known as the Fifth Industrial Revolution, is changing the workplace around the world. Driven by cutting-edge technologies like big data, robotics, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence (AI), this era requires a workforce that is extremely talented, flexible, and nimble. Under these circumstances, reskilling and upskilling have become essential tactics for businesses to maintain their competitiveness while enabling their staff to flourish in a changing workplace.Industry 5.0 marks a transformative phase in industrial development, emphasizing the collaboration between humans and advanced technologies. As industries transition into this era, the role of human resources (HR) in facilitating reskilling and upskilling becomes critical. This review article explores the concepts of Industry 5.0, the changing nature of work, and the strategies HR can adopt to prepare the workforce for this transition.
