The Influence of Human Resource Management Practices on Employees Intention to Early Retirement: A Case Study of Ministry of Health, Kingdom of Bahrain
No full textAbstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the prior existence of push-pull factors that influence employees’ intention to early retirement and the influence of the new policy on these push-pull factors. Since the announcement of incentives for voluntary retirement, the issue has taken a serious level and caused unnecessary anxiety among current employees who otherwise have to take on extra burdens. A mixed approach is used to better understand this phenomenon. Opinion on the intention of early retirement of current employees is investigated through a survey and whether such opinion is supported among employees who have submitted for early retirement through interviews. The findings indicate a significant influence on HRM push factors and external pull factors on employees' intention to resign early. The external pull factor seems to override the HRM push factors. This observation is supported by those who have submitted for early retirement. This phenomenon seems to have been accelerated by the government monetary rewards policy introduced for employees to take on voluntary retirement. The findings indicate the importance of introducing targeted policy approaches rather than introducing a general policy to minimize negative implications on health employees in Bahrain.

Significance of first flight take-off delays: A case study of a low-cost hub in KL
No full textAbstract: Keeping to the set time for the first flight of the day is important for low-cost operators, otherwise it leads to delay in the return journey and the subsequent ripple effects may lead to cancellation of later flights. This research, therefore, aims to investigate the likelihood of a delay in the first flight of the day by Low-Cost Carriers (LCC) operating out of KLIA2 and how significant those delays are.
A sample of 61 first flights of the day operating out of KLIA2 per day was observed for a period of one month using secondary data to study the significance of delays beyond the allowed bench mark being 15 minutes’ delay allowed without being considered as delay. Furthermore, a random selection of 30 passengers were interviewed to understand how they manage waiting time during such delays. A summary and significance test were undertaken to analyze the data for patterns and significance of delays.
Research findings confirm that it is indeed a concern; there are often delays confirming the first flight on any given day. There is also a discrete expression of concern on the issue of matches, especially for the first flight of the day, from pilots and latent support for a better system in place.
Although the evidence of delay is an issue, the research focused on scheduling as an issue; a match between flight and pilot that is controllable. Other issues could also contribute to delays such as technical problems. The researcher believes that an efficient system is able to reschedule a different combination of flight and pilot within the given 15 minutes’ delay, which is an acceptable norm in this industry if an effective system is in place. Although the current research has not clearly correlated the schedule as an issue for the first flights, there is an indication that it does but not significantly for the current period. If left unchecked, it will become a routine for the operators to believe such delays are norms in this type of business and acceptable to the users, leading to a significant problem in the future.

A Survey of English Language Teaching in Higher Institutions of Learning in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
No full textThe aim of this study is to explore the extent of English language teaching in Higher Institutions of Malaysia and investigate the current changes, trends and challenges in this niche. A sample of 100 English learners from public and private institutions participated in this study. Analysis of the responses indicated that English language is remaining to be difficult to master, due to speaking environment, proficiency of the teachers and other factors. However, the Government is on the right direction to improve this situation by following Common European Framework of Reference of Languages. As any other system, it takes time to put into realization and start up the mechanism. This observation carries a pedagogical perspective and includes the overview of the general picture based on Private, Public and Stand Alone English educational institutions. This study has highlighted the practical importance of British Framework of English learning and suggests to focus on emphasis of the learning process instead of a result.</jats:p
ASIP data-plane processor for multi-standard wireless protocol processing
No full textEvolving Multi-Protocol Multi-Band Software Defined Radio (SDR) devices aim at supporting multiple protocols seamlessly and efficiently. The design of such radios necessitates flexibility in physical layer processing, flexibility in routing packets through processing engines and flexibility in radio frequency reception/transmission. This dissertation addresses an efficient implementation of flexible physical layer processing (PHY) for Interleaving, De-Interleaving and linear Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) detection in Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) receivers through Application Specific Instruction Set Processors (ASIPs). The thesis defines and develops a WINLAB cognitive radio (WiNC2R) compatible data-plane ASIP architecture along with suitable hardware-software partitioning of the Processing Engine unit. Given the requirement of very significant design time and the lack of the flexibility after design, dedicated ASIC for PHY may not be a viable option although it has the best performance among all available options. The software application running on general purpose processor cannot satisfy the throughput requirements of the wireless standards. ASIPs provide a better trade-off between flexibility and performance, with the advantage of considerably lower design time than ASICs. We design an efficient multi-standard (802.11a, 802.16e/m) supporting Interleaver/De-Interleaver ASIP, satisfying the throughput requirements for all the modulation-schemes/data-rates in both of the standards. It can be programmed to scale for supporting future wireless standards (that use Block Interleaving/De-Interleaving). We also study viability of a flexible MIMO MMSE detector ASIP supporting variable MR (Number of receiving antennas) * MT (Number of transmitting antennas) operations. We have analyzed the implementation of an hardware-centric algorithm for MIMO detection on an ASIP and also improved its performance with the help of techniques such as fixed point implementation, Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) and Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW). Analysis of the design performance results for MIMO ASIP indicates the limitations of hardware-implementation-specific algorithms on ASIP. We also provide the account of design decisions such as custom ports, memory interfaces and registers that are added to the data-plane processor ASIPs in order to substitute them for dedicated hardware engines in the WiNC2R platform.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Mohit Gopal Wan

Systems biology of breast cancer
No full textBreast cancer, with an alarming incidence rate throughout the globe, has attracted significant investigations to identify disease specific biomarkers. Among these, oestrogen receptor (ER) occupies a central role where overexpression is a prognostic indication for breast cancer. The cross-talk between the responsible contenders of ER-associated genes potentially play an important role in the disease aetiology. Investigation of such cross talk is the focus of this thesis. The development of high throughput technologies such as expression microarrays has paved the way for investigating thousands of genes at a time. Microarrays with their high data volume, multivariate nature and non-linearity pose challenges for analysing using conventional statistical approaches. To combat these challenges, computational researchers have developed machine learning approaches such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). This thesis evaluates ANNs based methodologies and their application to the analysis of microarray data generated for breast cancer cases of differing oestrogen receptor status. Furthermore they are used for network inferencing to identify interactions between ER-associated markers and for the subsequent identification of putative pathway elements. The present thesis shows that it is possible to identify some ER-associated breast cancer relevant markers using ANNs. These have been subsequently validated on clinical breast tumour samples highlighting the promise of this approach
