This study examined the relationship between human resources policies and employee job satisfaction in some selected banks in Delta State, Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study are to ascertain effect of the influence of the measures of human resources policies, namely; Recruitment & Selection (RS), Training & Development (TD), Performance Appraisal (PA), Compensation & Reward (CR) and Employee Participation (EP) on Job Satisfaction (JS). Survey research design was adopted in this study and a total of two hundred and sixty-six (266) copies of the questionnaire were administered, out of the two hundred and sixty-six (266) questionnaire administered to staff of deposit money banks in Delta State, specifically First Bank of Nigeria Plc, UBA Plc, Zenith Bank Plc, Fidelity Bank Plc and Ecobank Plc branches in Abraka, Asaba, Warri, and Sapele, all in Delta State, Nigeria; that served as the respondents, which two hundred and thirty-nine (239) were retrieved and properly filled. Survey research design was adopted for this study and the responses gathered from the questionnaire were coded and analyzed with descriptive statistics, correlation statistics and multiple regressions with the aid of SPSS version 23. The findings revealed that there is significant positive relationship between Recruitment & Selection (RS) and Job Satisfaction (JS); there is a significant positive relationship between Training & Development (TD) and Job Satisfaction (JS); there is a significant positive relationship between Performance Appraisal (PA) and Job Satisfaction (JS); Compensation & Reward (CR) has a positive significant relationship with Job Satisfaction (JS) and Employee Participation (EP) has a positive effect with Job Satisfaction (JS) in selected deposit money banks in Delta State, Nigeria. From the findings of the study, it can be concluded that, overall the human resources policies had a positive significant effect on employee job satisfaction in some selected banks in Delta State, Nigeria. It was recommended that employers must not interpret it as the only basis for retaining their employees because among other things, employees must deserve the kind of compensation they receive. Certainly their qualifications, experience and productivity must be commensurate with the compensation they receive.

Clinical and Instrumental Swallowing Assessments for Dysphagia
Authors: Haas Robyn , Bailey Sharon 
Published: February 2024

What Is the Issue?

Dysphagia, or swallowing impairment, is a common complication of many health conditions. To assess patients for dysphagia, speech-language pathologists may use instrumental swallowing assessments or clinical assessments.
Instrumental swallowing assessments are more accurate and comprehensive, but they also require more time and resources.
To help inform decisions about whether it is appropriate to increase use of clinical assessments and limit the use of instrumental swallowing assessments, it is important to understand current best practices as well as the comparative clinical utility and diagnostic accuracy.

What Did We Do?

We searched for literature evaluating the clinical utility and diagnostic accuracy of instrumental swallowing assessments versus clinical assessments for patients with suspected dysphagia. We also searched for evidence-based guidelines that provide recommendations about the use of instrumental and clinical assessments for suspected dysphagia.
An information specialist searched for peer-reviewed and grey literature sources published between January 1, 2019, and November 30, 2023.

What Did We Find?

Four diagnostic test accuracy studies compared various clinical evaluations to instrumental swallowing exams. The tests ranged in their sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values. Three of the 4 studies concluded that the clinical assessments they examined could be used to identify dysphagia. One of these 3 studies examined multiple clinical evaluations and noted the varying degrees of accuracy among the tests and indicated which of these is most accurate. The fourth study found that further evidence is needed to determine if a clinical feeding evaluation can predict aspiration. We did not find any studies directly evaluating the clinical utility of instrumental swallowing assessments versus clinical evaluation for patients with suspected dysphagia that met the inclusion criteria for this review.
Six evidence-based guidelines made recommendations related to instrumental and clinical swallowing assessments for dysphagia. These recommendations generally indicated that instrumental assessments should be used when resources allow, or that they should take place in addition to clinical swallowing assessments.

What Does This Mean?

Health care practitioners may wish to conduct an instrumental swallowing assessment, such as a fibreoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing or a videofluoroscopic swallowing study for patients for whom there are sufficient resources to do so.
Clinical assessments for dysphagia have the potential to help clinicians diagnose patients with dysphagia without the use of instrumental swallowing assessments, particularly in settings with limited resources. However, this is not the case for all clinical assessments and needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Assessment of Proteinase and Phospholipases Enzymes Isolated from Pathogenic Candida species from Women Attending Antenatal Clinic at Mbeya Zonal Referral Hospital, Southern Highland Regions of Tanzania
Authors: Chaula Y , Swilla JD , Lyatuu F , Namkinga L A. 
Published: February 2024

Fungi are a global cause of vaginal infections, with vaginal candidiasis largely afflicting tropical regions including most parts of sub-Saharan Africa. In Tanzania, baseline studies have established the prevalence of Candida species among symptomatic and asymptomatic pregnant women in Dar es Salaam (Namkinga et al., 2005; Namkinga 2012) and in Mwanza (Mushi et al., 2019). However, no study that has been done to determine the above-mentioned enzymes form Candida species in Southern Highland Regions of Tanzania. Several factors have been reported to contribute to the virulence and pathogenicity of Candida, among others the production of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes, particularly phospholipase and proteinase. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the in vitro production of phospholipases and proteinases enzymes from isolated pathogenic Candida spp from pregnant women.Of the 280 samples collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic pregnant women attending antenatal clinics at Mbeya Zonal Referral Hospital were tested for several microbiological methods such as the wet mount microscopic preparations (hanging drop) and the Gram stained smears for microscopy, cultures on Sabouraud’s dextrose agar and on Conidia enhancing medium (Corn meal agar), germ tube test, biochemical tests, sugar fermentation-assimilation tests and molecular test to characterize Candida species.Phospholipase production was performed in egg yolk medium while the production of proteinase was done in a medium containing bovine serum albumin. All analyses were performed in triplicates. The results showed that; out of the 280 tested, 155 (74.3%) isolates were phospholipase positive while 201 (96.6%) were positive for proteinase activity. C. albicans was the species with the highest number of positive isolates for proteinase and phospholipase 110 (95.6%), and most strains of C. albicans produce both enzymes (phospholipases and proteinases). The non-albicans Candida isolates were also producers of hydrolytic enzymes that, consequently, might be able to cause infections as favorable conditions arises.
