Introduction

Exom sequencing is also known as whole exom sequencing (WES). This sequencing technique is used to sequence all the expressed genes in a genome also called as exom. It is one of the most widely used targeted sequencing methods. The exom which is the protein coding region of the human genome consists of less than 2% of the genetic code. This region is responsible for containing more than 85% of known disease-related variants. Thus, whole exom sequencing is a cost-effective alternative to whole genome sequencing (WGS). This technique is efficient in identifying coding variants across a wide range of ...

Introduction

The negative or positive experiences of early childhood play a very significant role in the development of the social and emotional behavior of an individual.

This is because the social and emotional development of an individual are influenced by several factors that they encounter during their major stages of growth in their lifespan (McClelland, Ponitz, Messersmith, & Tominey, 2010, p. 35).

How can managers enrich or enlarge employees’ jobs?

The enhancement of a worker’s motivation by telling him or her to perform more duties might sound counter-intuitive. But job enlargement and enrichment can result in greater job productivity and satisfaction as long as the manager handles it skillfully. The concept of enrichment and enlargement particularly takes place in small enterprises where employees are not grouped into specific departments; hence, specialization cannot limit them to pitch in different tasks. The leader must review the current components and core functions before focusing on work enrichment and enlargement. He or she should also ask for the perspectives of the employees ...

Introduction

If a job is well-designed, it may foster employee well-being and engagement, and therefore contribute to work performance that leads to customer satisfaction (Bakker et al., 190). Job design provides a description of the way “jobs, tasks, and roles are structured, enacted, and modified and what the impact of these structures, enactments, modifications, are on the individual, group, and organizational outcomes” (Grant et al., 318). For a period spanning over half a century, job design theories have played a significant role in guiding scholars and practitioners to offer descriptions, explanations, and effect changes in the work experiences and behaviors ...

The complexities in the lives of human beings create the need for people to use a unique approach that utilises the combinations of poems and artistic works such as paintings and music that in turn create richness of words and images. This implies that literature offers the best ways to explain the moral and spiritual cultivations in ...
