There is a definite link between employee attitudes and patient satisfaction. If employees are unhappy or dissatisfied, despite their best efforts; it is difficult for them to conceal this factor when interacting with patients and other staff members. One of the primary reasons for evaluating employee satisfaction is to identify problems and try to resolve them before they impact on patient care and treatment. Improving the quality of patient care in hospitals is a vital and necessary activity. Patients report they receive less individual attention than ever before. They complain that doctors and nurses are too busy tending to the technical aspects of care to provide the much needed attention to patients' personal needs. Not only is it important in terms of quality of patient care, assessing employee satisfaction is a critical component in retaining qualified health professionals. Many health care providers feel frustrated and disillusioned in jobs they expected to find fulfilling. They have less time to do a quality job of caring for patients; This leads to low morale, staff turnover, and overall disenchantment with job opportunities in health care.

The purpose of doing this project is to design and implement a three floor elevator control system. Each floor was to have its own illuminated push button to call the elevator to a demanded floor. The elevator door was to be simulated with the use of a 12VDC bench-top mounted motor that opened, stayed open, and reversed after ten seconds at each floor after being called. A 12V DC motor was used to hoist the elevator and IR sensors were used to indicate when the elevator was at the floor in position to open. The entire system included a master start-stop circuit to ensure that the operation could be completely shut down for emergencies or repair. The final aspect of this experiment was to intelligently organize the ladder logic to make troubleshooting easier. To do this, all of the subroutine jumps were placed in the second ladder and the actual subroutines in its respective ladder.

The huge growth of internet has exposed the problem of scaling and management in a big datagram based packet communication. New algorithms, architectures and routing protocols are regularly being developed. New protocols on internet layer and improvements to existing protocols are continuously being planned. Because of this rapid boom in the internet world, a lot of applications and devices are being developed. All of these applications and devices needs to show better consistency, performance and effectiveness for transferring data over a network. Router plays a crucial role in sending the data from one network to another network. IP based routing is used for exchange of data on internet in spite of better functionality, it also have some drawbacks as well because of large amount of growing demand by the new internet applications and software. The term Traffic Engineering (TE) is used to resolve the issues related to IP routing. It is used to produce the expected and definite services to the users of internet service. Traffic Engineering can be applied with the help of multiple networks.

Due to the regulations of Basel II and the present financial crisis the demand for Factoring and Forfaiting services is increasing. The rise in receivables means more business but at the same time more risk. The aim of this work is to present an overview of the risk management strategies involved in Forfaiting and Factoring services as the convention of Basel II forces the financial institutions to introduce higher standards of risk assessment and management. Besides documentary analysis of relevant material, expert interviews were conducted with nine professionals working in the factoring and forfaiting industry and analysed using ground theory. Results from the interviews and literature stress that the present economic downturn exposes Factoring and Forfaiting companies and banks to a higher credit risk, nevertheless they also benefit when compared to the conservative lending of banks. Finally this work concludes that a Factor must define its organisational goals focusing on clear identification and awareness of risk with the capability to adjust to changing business conditions.
