The study adopted survey approach in its design. The researchers used a sample of 101 insurance sector workers drawn from ten insurance firms in Portharcourt. The major instrument for data collection was a five point Likert scale questionnaire titled employee welfare scheme and workers performance questionnaire (EWSandEPQ), data analysis was based on the 98 questionnaire that was accurately filled and returned. click here The statistical tools for data analysis are: simple percentage and the Non-Parametric Kruskalwallis test using the 23.0 version of the statistical package for social sciences software (SPSS). This paper concludes therefore that employee’s welfare scheme provided by insurance firms has significant effect on the performance of their employees. It is the recommendation of this paper that to achieve the above, insurance firms must improve on the welfare schemes they offer to their employees especially as it affects the facilitative and economic welfare scheme which has shown to have direct impact on employees performance (H = 0.001 and 0.000 respectively). Furthermore, the provision of recreational welfare scheme shouldn’t be made priority policy issue.Keyword: Economic, Facilitative, OCB, Productivity, Proficiency, Recreational.

Author’s Name : Ricardo De Leon Ortega1, Jose Fabrega2 Article Type : ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Country from : REPUBLIC OF PANAMA Date of Publication: 15-11-2018 Journal Name : Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries [ ISSN : 2456-1045 ] Article Identification : Vol. 30.0/Issue-I/Chapter-IV/Page – 19-25 [ OCTOBER-2018 EDITION ] Article Code : BM-V30-I1-C4-OCT2018 Status : Officially published Publisher : International Journal Foundation Download: Full article —————————————————————————————————————————– Abstract : The atmospheric modeling has simple fast-running models with little data demands, which require some academic preparation from users, but the accuracy of their results is questionable and they are recommended only for screening to determine if a complex modeling is necessary or not. SCREEN3 was the screening model used in this research. click here The use of more complex modeling will depend on the atmospheric conditions in the study area, the complexity of the topography and the variability in terrestrial coverage. The Panama Canal being a complex area, with undulating topography, the presence of the change in water-soil cover that contributes to a three-dimensional variability of the meteorological conditions and the phenomena of fumigation, it was proposed to use the Lagrangian model CALPUFF. However, it was important to consider the evaluation, through a correlational analysis of the results, of the advantage of using CALPUFF instead of SCREEN3. The results of both models yielded Pearson coefficients for the three modeled pollutants (PM10, NO2, SO2) in a range of 0.7 to 0.84, indicating a considerable correlation; however, the values of CALPUFF hourly concentrations were greater than the SCREEN3 values up to a factor of 5, which would suggest the use of CALPUFF.Keyword: Atmospheric Contamination, atmospheric modeling, CALPUFF, Panama Canal, SCREEN3, Thermoelectric Plant.

Author’s Name : Monika Rezacova1, Vineet Batta2 & Yegappan Kalairajah3 Article Type : ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Country from : UK Date of Publication: 15-11-2018 Journal Name : Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries [ ISSN : 2456-1045 ] Article Identification : Vol. 30.0/Issue-I/Chapter-VIII/Page – 42-47 [ OCTOBER-2018 EDITION ] Article Code : MDS-V30-I1-C8-OCT2018 Status : Officially published Publisher : International Journal Foundation Download: Full Article (pdf) —————————————————————————————————————————– Abstract: The primary aim of this study was to examine the correlation between the dabigatran administration initiation time (0-4 h vs. > 4 h post-surgery) and the respective blood loss in patients undergoing elective total knee replacement.click here Patients facing major orthopaedic operations, including total knee and total hip replacement, are at risk of venous thromboembolism. Dabigatranetexilate is a new oral, direct thrombin inhibitor, clinically approved for prophylaxis of thromboembolism in patients undergoing elective orthopaedic joint replacements.Patients selected for the study were split into two groups differing in the time of DE administration initiation (0-4 h vs. > 4post-surgery). The formula of Nadler was used for the quantitative determination of the peri-operative blood loss in these patients.There was no significant difference in the calculated mean blood loss between the two groups. The calculated mean blood loss for the 1-4 h group was 331ml, compared with 331 ml in the > 4 h group (p > 0.05). This showed no reduction in bleeding even with a delayed DE administration. Investigation of the delayed initiation ofdabigatran administration suggested that the late dabigatran administration have been due surgeon’s decision based on increased risk of bleeding.The efficacy and safety of DE administration was comparable at both times (0-4 h vs. > 4post-surgery) and no clinically significant disadvantage concerningperi-operative blood loss could be observed when performing an early administration initiation of DE.
