Factors Influencing the Employee Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment: A Study of Selected Commercial Banks in Bangladesh

This article strives to determine the most influential factors giving rise to employee job satisfaction and organizational commitment in the commercial banks of Bangladesh. Accordingly, the study aims at exploring the extent to which these employees are committed to their organizations and satisfied with different dimensions of their jobs.  This study was conducted   on the employees of commercial banks of Bangladesh. Out of the 300 survey questionnaires distributed among the respondents, 285 statistically usable questionnaires were received. A stepwise descriptive statistic, multiple regression analysis and one –way-ANOVA were used to confirm the research hypotheses.  The findings of the study indicated that reward and recognition, authority and feedback are highly influential factors influencing job satisfaction. Authority and feedback for affective commitment, work and working environment for continuance commitment and supervisor, and supervision for normative commitment have been found to be the most influential factors

The reported preparedness and disposition by students in a Nigerian university towards the use of information technology for medical education

Background: The computer and information technology (IT) revolution have transformed modern health care systems in the areas of communication, storage, retrieval of medical information and teaching, but little is known about IT skill and use in most developing nations.Objectives: The aim of this study has been to evaluate the reported preparedness and disposition by medical students in a Nigerian university toward the use of IT for medical education.Methods: A self-administered structured questionnaire containing 24 items was used to obtain information from medical students in the University of Ilorin, Nigeria on their level of computer usage, knowledge of computer software and hardware, availability and access to computer, possession of personal computer and e-mail address, preferred method of medical education and the use of computer as a supplement to medical education.Results: Out of 479 medical students, 179 (37.4%) had basic computer skills, 209 (43.6%) had intermediate skills and 58(12.1%) had advanced computer skills. Three hundred and thirty (68.9%) have access to computer and 451(94.2%) have e-mail addresses. For medical teaching, majority (83.09%), preferred live lecture, 56.78% lecture videos, 35.1%lecture handout on web site and 410 (85.6%) wants computer as a supplement to live lectures. Less than half (39.5%) wants laptop acquisition to be mandatory. Students with advanced computer skills were well prepared and disposed to IT than those with basic computer skill.Conclusion: The findings revealed that the medical students with advanced computer skills were well prepared and disposed to IT based medical education. Therefore, high level of computer skill is required for them to be prepared and favorably disposed to IT based medical education

Preliminary Investigation Into Some Aspects Of The Ecology Of Coastal Savannah Forest Soils In Ghana: A Case Study of the University of Cape Coast Nature Reserve

Stable Food Crops Turning Into Commercial Crops: Case studies of Teff, Wheat and Rice in Ethiopia The study was conducted in the University of Cape Coast Nature Reserve to investigate the levels of urease in the soils and to relate these levels to soil organic matter (SOM) content, soil moisture (SM) content, pH, temperature, particle size distribution and bulk density. The stratified random sampling method was employed to collect data within three 10 × 200 m belt transects. Soil samples were collected from 0 to 15 cm depth in different zones of the nature reserve between January and April, 2005. The mean soil urease levels ranged from 80.91 ± 4.72 to 132.36 ± 10.80 NH4+-N mg kg-1. Monthly variations in soil urease levels were highly significant (p < 0.01). The enzyme level varied significantly (p < 0.001) with topography. Multiple regression analysis showed that urease activity depended on SOM, SM, pH and soil temperature (p < 0.05). Soil texture and bulk density were similar in all the zones. SOM, SM, time and topography were the main factors which affected urease levels in the soils of the University of Cape Coast Nature Reserv

The Non-Isolated Resolving Number of Some Corona Graphs

An ordered set W = {w1, w2, ..., wk} ⊆ V(G) and a vertex v in a connected graph G, the representation of v with respect to W is the ordered k-tuple r(v|W) = (d(v, w1), d(v, w2), ..., d(v, wk)), where d(x, y) represents the distance between the vertices x and y in G. The set W is called a resolving set for G if every vertex of G has distinct representations. A resolving set with the minimum number of vertices is called a basis for G and its cardinality is called the metric dimension of G, denoted by dim(G). A resolving set W is called a non-isolated resolving set if the induced subgraph 〈W〉 has no isolated vertices. The minimum cardinality of a non-isolated resolving set of G is called the non-isolated resolving number of G, denoted by nr(G). The corona product between a graph G and a graph H, denoted by G⊙H, is a graph obtained from one copy of G and |V(G)| copies H1, H2, ..., Hn of H such that all vertices in Hi are adjacent to the i-th vertex of G. We study the non-isolated resolving sets of some corona graphs. We determine nr(G⊙H) where G is any connected graph and H is a complete graph, a cycle, or a path

Artificial escape from XCI by DNA methylation editing of the CDKL5 gene.

A significant number of X-linked genes escape from X chromosome inactivation and are associated with a distinct epigenetic signature. One epigenetic modification that strongly correlates with X-escape is reduced DNA methylation in promoter regions. Here, we created an artificial escape by editing DNA methylation on the promoter of CDKL5, a gene causative for an infantile epilepsy, from the silenced X-chromosomal allele in human neuronal-like cells. We identify that a fusion of the catalytic domain of TET1 to dCas9 targeted to the CDKL5 promoter using three guide RNAs causes significant reactivation of the inactive allele in combination with removal of methyl groups from CpG dinucleotides. Strikingly, we demonstrate that co-expression of TET1 and a VP64 transactivator have a synergistic effect on the reactivation of the inactive allele to levels &gt;60% of the active allele. We further used a multi-omics assessment to determine potential off-targets on the transcriptome and methylome. We find that synergistic delivery of dCas9 effectors is highly selective for the target site. Our findings further elucidate a causal role for reduced DNA methylation associated with escape from X chromosome inactivation. Understanding the epigenetics associated with escape from X chromosome inactivation has potential for those suffering from X-linked disorders

Bangladesh striving against double burden: Dengue outbreak surges amid COVID-19 pandemic

As one of the least developed countries of South Asia, Bangladesh continues experiencing a surge in the number of patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), while struggling with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The number of infected patients and deaths due to COVID-19 had risen rapidly since the beginning of July 2021 and broken all the previous records. The total number of dengue cases was also the highest in July. Now, the country is facing an unprecedented challenge of tackling a co-epidemic. Impoverished health infrastructure, ineffective intervention schemes against the disease and lack of awareness has made the country vulnerable to a risk of co-epidemic. Therefore, government and local authorities should take immediate actions, including capacity-building programs for both COVID-19 and dengue, while community engagement campaigns focusing on the destruction of breeding sources of Aedes mosquitoes can play a key role in reducing the effect of dengue at an early stage
