This paper examines why and how government department personnel functions should reorient their activities to take a more strategic and developmental approach to human resource management (HRM). Currently, human resource (HR) policies are, in the main, centrally determined and developed. There is a commitment to decentralise and devolve HR responsibilities. Allied with this more strategic focus...

hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a major global health problem and one of the most common causes of chronic liver diseases. the current study was carried out to investigate the ability of high resolution melting (hrm) method in hcv genotyping. 40 hcv-positive sera with unknown and 12 sera with known hcv genotypes were collected from different clinical laboratories in tehran as well as rasht in north ...

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) represents an important genetic marker for manipulation to improve the health and productivity of cattle. It is closely associated with numerous disease susceptibilities and immune responses. Bovine MHC, also called bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA), is considered as a suitable marker for genetic diversity studies. In cattle, most of the polymorphisms are lo...

This paper argues that employee attitudes and behaviour need to be explicitly incorporated into models of HRM and performance and into related empirical studies if we are to improve our understanding of the HRM – performance relationship. At the same time, employee concerns have been neglected in the stream of research on HRM and performance. A simple model is presented and two large-scale cros...

Positive identification of the nature of biological material present on evidentiary items can be crucial for understanding the circumstances surrounding a crime. However, traditional protein-based methods do not permit the identification of all body fluids and tissues, and thus molecular based strategies for the conclusive identification of all forensically relevant biological fluids and tissue...

BACKGROUND Improved management of clinicians' time and practice is advocated to address increasing demands on healthcare provision in the UK National Health Service (NHS). Human resource management (HRM) is associated with improvements in organisational performance and outcomes within and outside of healthcare, but with limited use in managing individual clinicians. This may reflect the absence...

BACKGROUND In HIV-infected children, viral diversity tends to increase with age in the absence of antiretroviral treatment (ART). We measured HIV diversity in African children (ages 6-36 months) enrolled in a randomized clinical trial comparing two ART regimens (Cohort I of the P1060 trial). Children in this cohort were exposed to single dose nevirapine (sdNVP) at birth. METHODS HIV diversity...

High-resolution manometry (HRM) is the primary method used to evaluate esophageal motor function. Displayed and interpreted by esophageal pressure topography (EPT), HRM/ EPT provides a detailed assessment of esophageal function that is useful in the evaluation of patients with nonobstructive dysphagia and before foregut surgery. Esophageal motility diagnoses are determined systematically by app...

1. Explain the meaning of strategic management and give an overview of its conceptual framework. 2. Describe the three levels of strategy formulation and comment on the links between business strategy and human resource management. 3. Explain the two models of strategic HRM, the matching model and the resourcebased model. 4. Comment on the various strategic HRM themes of re-engineering, workpla...

This paper presents the need of an organization like educational institution to redefine its strategy to address the HRM changes due to globalization. The HRM practices in the said organization were discussed and the different challenges/problems with each functions. The factors to be considered before adoption to e-HRM were discussed to determine the level of implementation to this technology....
