Effect of Job Design on Employee Satisfaction (A Study of Fertilizer Companies Listed in Lahore Stock Exchange)

Human is declared as “Better” in all living creation. That is the reason behind the importance of the Human Resource whether in Business Organizations or Non-Business Organization. It is the asset which can neither be copied nor be created. In the past two decades, the importance of Human Resource becomes shinier for the organizations especially for the business sectors. Human Resource Management, now a day, is the most important area for Business Organizations and Vital Topic for the Researchers as well. Achieving target and goals, capturing new markets and niches, acquiring and selling are one dimension of success for the organization, but now organizations are putting a valuable consideration to Human Resource Management and its issues. Job Design, Job Enrichment, Job Enlargement, Employee Satisfaction and Motivation, Brain Drain, Performance and Reward are some factors which captured the attention of the organizations. This Research exist in the orbit of the topic “Effect of job design on Employee Satisfaction” and declare 6 Variables of job design which is Independent Variable and find the relation of these variables with employee satisfaction through correlation and linear regression technique. Through Questionnaire, Primary data is collected and by the use of SPSS and Excel 2007, the results are concluded that there is a strong positive correlation between Job Design and Employee Satisfaction and both of these variables move in the same direction.

Association of serum hormone profile and semen quality of infertile males in and around Chennai

Background: The infertility rate in India has also increased gradually along with population growth. Based on the geographic, the prevalence of male infertility varies. It is noticed that around the world 60–80 million couples with infertility problem every year. The aim of the study was to assess the correlation between the serum hormones and semen quality in infertile males.Methods: This research study was conducted in 60 infertile males aged from 20–50 years who reported at the Department of Andrology, Kanmani Fertility Centre (Pvt. Ltd.), Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The semen and hormone analysis was done in all study participants and its correlation was studied using SPSS (statistical product and service solutions) software.Results: The results demonstrate that among the study participants, 15.0% of them were normozoospermia, asthenozoospermia (26.6%), asthenoteratozoospermia (21.6%), oligoasthenozoospermia (16.6%) and oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (20.0) respectively. The results of Pearson correlation revealed that TSH, FSH, LH and PRL show a negative correlation but TST level shows a positive correlation with semen parameters.Conclusions: This study concludes that the serum hormones concentration was observed abnormal in infertile males which show negative correlation with semen parameters of the study participants

First report of anthelmintic resistance in Haemonchus contortus in alpacas in Australia

BACKGROUND: Parasitic nematodes can cause substantial clinical and subclinical problems in alpacas and anthelmintics are regularly used to control parasitic nematodes in alpacas. Although anthelmintic resistance has been reported in ruminants worldwide, very little is known about anthelmintic resistance in alpacas. The present study was carried out to confirm a suspected case of anthelmintic resistance in Haemonchus contortus in alpacas in Australia. METHODS: Post mortem examination of an alpaca was conducted to determine the cause of its death. To confirm a suspected case of macrocyclic lactone (ML) resistance in H. contortus in alpacas, a faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) was performed using closantel (7.5 mg/kg) and ivermectin (0.2 mg/kg). Nematode species were identified by morphological and molecular methods. RESULTS: Post mortem examination of a 1-year-old female alpaca that had died following a brief period of lethargy, anorexia and recumbency revealed severe anaemia, hypoproteinaemia and gastric parasitism by adult Haemonchus contortus, despite recent abamectin (0.2 mg/kg) treatment. Based on these findings and the exclusive use of MLs in the herd over the preceding six years, ML resistance in parasitic nematodes of alpacas on this farm was suspected. FECRT revealed that the efficacy of closantel was 99% (95% CI 93-100), whereas that of ivermectin was 35% (95% CI 0-78), indicating that the treatment failure was likely due to the presence of ML-resistant nematodes. Larval culture of faecal samples collected following ivermectin treatment consisted of 99% H. contortus and 1% Cooperia oncophora, a result confirmed using a PCR assay. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides the first evidence of ML resistance in H. contortus in alpacas in Australia. Based on the extent of anthelmintic resistance in sheep gastrointestinal nematodes in Australia, veterinarians and alpaca owners should be encouraged to implement integrated parasite management strategies to improve nematode control in alpacas

A temperature characterization of (Si-FinFET) based on channel oxide thickness

This paper presents the temperature-gate oxide thickness characteristics of a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) and discusses the possibility of using such a transistor as a temperature nano-sensor. The investigation of channel oxide thickness–based temperature characteristics is useful to optimized electrical and temperature characteristics of FinFET. Current–voltage characteristics with different temperatures and gate oxide thickness values (Tox = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 nm) are initially simulated, and the diode mode connection is considered to measure FinFET’s temperature sensitivity. Finding the best temperature sensitivity of FinFET is based on the largest change in current (∆I) within a working voltage range of 0–5 V. According to the results, the temperature sensitivity of FinFET increases linearly with oxide thickness within the range of 1–5 nm, furthermore, the threshold voltage and drain-induced barrier lowering increase with increasing oxide thickness. Also, the subthreshold swing (SS) is close to the ideal value at the minimum oxide thickness (1 nm) then increases and diverges with increasing oxide thickness. So, the best oxide thickness (nearest SS value to the ideal one) of FinFET under the conditions described in this research is 1 nm

Endocrine complications in patients of beta thalassemia major in a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan

OBJECTIVE: To determine the major endocrine complications present in patients of Thalassemia major presenting to a tertiary care center in Karachi, Pakistan. METHODS: Records of all thallasemia major patients at a Haematology Department in a tertiary care hospital of Karachi were retrospectively reviewed from May to August 2009 with specific focus on endocrine data and investigations. The patients\u27 data was recorded in a questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS v.17, frequencies and percentages along with corresponding 95% confidence interval were computed. RESULTS: Our data revealed that a significantly small percentage of those under care received regular endocrine follow-up. Male hypo-gonadal abnormalities had the highest probability; 100% of the tested patients had decreased levels of testosterone, while 95.2% had raised serum creatinine levels. Parathyroid dysfunction was noted in 40% of the patients. Of those screened 29.4% had blood glucose levels in the diabetic range and 11.8% of the tested patients had reduced levels of FT4. CONCLUSION: A high frequency at endocrine dysfunctions seen in thalasaemia patients included: male hypogonadism, parathyroid dysfunction, deranged blood glucose and FT4 levies
