The influence of perceived job tension on stress reaction among hospital and university workers in Nigeria was the focus of this study. 160 participants randomly selected from hospital and university settings were used for the study. The age of the participants ranges between 25 years and 50 years with a mean age of 35. Four hypotheses were tested and results shows that job stress is directly proportional to personal distress. Also, no significant difference was found in the job related tension between hospital and university workers. Result of this study shows that females have the same perception of work environment and they react to stress in the same manner. However, a significant difference exists in the level of stress between female and male university workers. Key words : 1. Job tension: The rigours and stress workers undergo on the job. 2. Stress reaction: It the way workers react to stress on the job. This could be positive or negative. 3. Stress: It is the unfavorable conditions that workers pass through in the course of discharging their job duties. 4. Stressors: These are conditions that bring about stress on the job.  DOI = 10.3329/bjsir.v43i3.1150Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 43(3), 353-358, 2008

Quality of work life is the major factor to be considered in working environment of any organization. The performance of employees and the organization lies on the ability of the employees based on working environment. The QWL leads to better working environment which improves the performance of organization. The present study has made an attempt to find the level of factors causing QWL and the impact of outcome of QWL in banks. Since the profile of the banks may be associated with the level of outcomes of QWL, the present study has made an attempt to examine it with the help of one way analysis of variance and t-test. The included outcomes of QWL are job satisfaction, job stress, organizational climate, organizational commitment, employees retention behaviour, service quality employees and service productivity of employees. The highly associated determinants of QWL and the significant difference among the PUSBs and PRSBs have been noticed. The significantly associating important profiles of the banks regarding the existence of outcome of QWL are identified.

Determination of oxalate-extractable Si and Al is useful in assessing the degree of accumulation of allophane-like materials in Podzolic soils. Three procedures were tested for determining Si: manual spectrophotometry, automated spectrophotometry and atomic absorption. For concentrations of oxalate-extractable Si above 0.5 g kg−1, there was no significant difference among results by the three procedures. For lower concentrations of Si, results by atomic absorption were higher than those by the spectrophotometric procedures. Determination by Si by autoanalyzer is the preferred procedure as it is convenient, sensitive and reliable. Key words: Oxalate Si, Podzolic soil, autoanalyzer

Kajian deskriptif ini berdasarkan kaedah tinjauan dengan menggunakan 480 orang pengguna yang membeli–belah di tiga pasaraya terbesar di Johor Bahru (Pasaraya Giant di Plentong dan Tampoi serta Carefour). Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa faktor kesempurnaan merupakan faktor yang paling tinggi mempengaruhi gaya pembuatan keputusan pembelian barangan di kalangan pengguna. Manakala tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan dalam gaya pembuatan keputusan pengguna berdasarkan jantina. Kajian ini juga menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan signifikan gaya pembuatan keputusan dalam pembelian barangan berdasarkan etnik Melayu, Cina dan India. Kata kunci: Gaya pembuatan keputusan, tingkah laku pengguna, pengguna The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence decision–making style among consumers as well as to identify consumers’ decision–making style differences based on gender and ethnics. Eight factors which influence decision making style among consumers were investigated such as confusion caused by too many choices, loyalty to brand, impulsiveness, novelty fashion consciousness, perfect quality, price conscious, recreational and brand conciousness. This descriptive study used a survey method which involved 480 consumers of three supermarkets in Johor Bahru (Giant at Plentong and Tampoi, and Carrefour). Results indicated that the perfect quality factor was the dominant influence on decision–making styles among respondents and that there is no difference of decision–making style based on gender. However, there is a significant difference of decision–making styles based on Malay, Chinese, and Indian ethnicity. Key words: Decision-making style, consumer behavior, consumer

Primiparous sows were vaccinated against follistatin to determine the effect on ovulation rate following typical commercial estrus induction and synchronization. Seventy-five gilts received four vaccinations against a recombinant porcine follistatin (FS) or a sham vaccine (CTL). At 85 kg, gilts were induced into estrus with a combination of PG600 and hCG and synchronized using PGF2α. At the second estrus, antibody titers ranged from 0 to1:6400 in the FS-vaccinated treatment group and no FS antibodies were detected in the CTL group. Late in the second subsequent luteal phase the reproductive tracts of the gilts that had displayed two estruses were collected. There was no significant difference in the number of corpora lutea (FS = 13.2 ± 0.5, CTL = 14.5 ± 0.7) or corpora albicantia (FS = 12.1 ± 1.9, CTL = 12.3 ± 2.0) between treatments. Follistatin-vaccinated gilts displayed an increased number of luteal structures which resembled corpora hemorrhagica (P = 0.04). This study shows that vaccination of gilts against FS concurrent with estrus induction and synchronization affected ovarian morphology, although an effect on ovulation rate was not apparent. Key words: Swine, follistatin, immunoneutralization, fecundity, ovulation rate

AimsTo assess the degree of psychological morbidity and burnout in 138 psychiatrists in three Manchester teaching hospitals.ResultsThe results for senior house officers (SHOs), registrars, senior registrars and consultants were compared. The overall response rate was 76.8%. There was no significant difference in psychological morbidity between the three training grades, but SHOs and registrars reported significantly higher levels of burnout than either senior registrars or consultants. Dealing with violent patients was stressful for all psychiatrists, no matter what the grade.Clinical implicationsFactors related to job stress in psychiatry need to be addressed. In particular, the provision of safer working environments needs to be considered for psychiatrists at all levels of training.

Bovine uterine horns with both ovaries containing a corpus luteum (CL) were compared for progesterone (P4) and oxytocin (OT) concentrations during the luteal phase of the estrous cycle. Uterine tissue samples from five Holstein cows with bilateral CL obtained from the slaughterhouse were used for this study. No significant difference was observed in P4 and OT levels in the right and left horns with corpora lutea in both ovaries. The data clearly indicate that both sides of the uterine horn having a functional CL are exposed to similar levels of P4 and OT, supporting the hypothesis that luteal products are delivered locally to the uterus. Key words: Progesterone, oxytocin, uterine horn, bilateral, corpus luteum, cow

Background: The cervix has to play dual role in human reproduction. During pregnancy, it should remain firm and closed allowing the fetus to grow in utero until functional maturity is attained while during labour it should soften and dilate, allowing the fetus to pass through the birth canal. Objective of present study was to know and compare the effect of oral Mifepristone with intracervical dinoprostone gel for cervical priming prior to induction of labour at term in an unfavorable cervix of primigravida.Methods: This was prospective randomized comparative study. 100 primigravid patients were included, 50 were placed in each group A and B. Tablet Mifepristone 200mg orally was given in group A patients and intracervical dinoprostone gel induction was done in group B patients. Pre induction Bishop’s score was noted at beginning to compare improvement in Bishop’s score after induction. Mode of delivery and induction to delivery interval in both the groups were studied.Results: After induction with Mifepristone 76% women had successful cervical ripening as compared to 56% with dinoprostone. Rate of vaginal delivery was 70% with Mifepristone and 58% with dinoprostone. There was no significant difference in induction to delivery interval between the groups. Ten percent and 2% belonging to mifepristone and dinoprostone group respectively, required NICU admissions.Conclusions: Mifepristone is more effective than dinoprostone for preinduction cervical ripening as it has high success rate of achieving cervical ripening, however there is no significant difference in the vaginal delivery rate and other maternal and fetal outcome.
