Employees in an organization form the most important segment of productive capacity. Therefore, effective employee relations management is essential to achieve organizational success. In modern organizations employees need counselling, mentoring, and involvement, among other intrinsic drivers to motivate and boost their morale for necessary superior performance.

The exploratory research design was used for the study involving 108 respondents. Data generated through primary and secondary sources were analyzed through descriptive and regression statistical techniques and the result showed very strong positive relationship between managing employee relations and organizational success. The study was not exhaustive; therefore, further study could examine the relationship between organizational commitment and employee performance. It was suggested that modern organizations must cultivate the culture of open communication to enhance employee motivation and performance.

Observational healthcare databases offer significant potential for generating evidence about the effects of medical products. Recent US and international efforts attempt to coordinate analysis activities across observational data networks for active drug safety surveillance and comparative effectiveness research. Several statistical challenges exist that require further research to inform the appropriate use of observational data for identifying and evaluating temporal relationships between medical product exposures and outcomes. This review highlights current work across the areas of data quality, methods development, and performance evaluation that promise to contribute to our understanding of best practices for observational analyses moving forward.

The paper investigates temporal relationships between leading drivers of success, non-financial outputs, and financial outcomes as suggested by the Balanced Scorecard. Based on a sample of 42 companies with a four-year survey data, we find partial confirmation of temporal causality between selected actions and performance. The effects of the leading variables on the non-financial outputs are the strongest in the same year. Also, the influence of innovation and HR policies via the number of patented innovations and new products (services) on profit growth is the strongest within one year. These findings have important implications for the design of cause-and-effect relationships schemes (strategy maps) and the development of contemporary performance measurement systems.

It has repeatedly been show that with conventional electron microscopes very fine electron probes can be produced, therefore allowing various micro-techniques such as micro recording, X-ray microanalysis and convergent beam diffraction. In this paper the function and performance of an SIEMENS ELMISKOP 101 used as a scanning transmission microscope (STEM) is described. This mode of operation has some advantages over the conventional transmission microscopy (CTEM) especially for the observation of thick specimen, in spite of somewhat longer image recording times.Fig.1 shows schematically the ray path and the additional electronics of an ELMISKOP 101 working as a STEM. With a point-cathode, and using condensor I and the objective lens as a demagnifying system, an electron probe with a half-width ob about 25 Å and a typical current of 5.10-11 amp at 100 kV can be obtained in the back focal plane of the objective lens.
