Performance appraisal system is of important apprehension of any organization while administrating its human resources. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance appraisal system for teachers in private schools and elaborate the problems align with this system. The Educators School has been taken as a case study. A quantitative research approach has been applied which consist on a self administered questionnaire to get primary data for exploring different parts of current performance appraisal system and perceptions of teachers regarding performance appraisal approaches in their school. Research results shows that The Educators School is using performance appraisal system that is closely related with traditional ACR (Annual Confidential Report) conducted annually. This study is conducted on a small level only on one franchise of the school system with small sample size. Researchers suggest that school administration should provide continuous feedback to their teachers and a solution to overcome their weaknesses and this system should only be used for performance improvement purpose.
This was a cross-sectional study conducted to explore the patterns of refractive errors found in infantile esotropia patients from newborns to the age of 15 years, attending the Pediatric clinic of Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. Data was collected on a pre-designed proforma. A total of 79 patients (total of 158 eyes) including 44 males (55%) and 36 females (45%) were recruited. All these patients had infantile esotropia. The study showed out of 79 patients (158 eyes), 89 eyes had hyperopia, 15 eyes had myopic astigmatism, 44 eyes had hyperopic astigmatism, while 4 eyes had mixed astigmatism, and 6 eyes had myopia. The hypermatropia was found to be the most commonly occurring refractive error in infantile esotropia resulting in inward eye deviation.
This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted to measure the contrast sensitivity in different types of glaucoma patients. The patients for this study were identified using a non-probability convenient sampling method from 01st February 2020 to 30th August 2020. The diagnosis and sensitivity were tested using lea contrast sensitivity, Snellen visual acuity charts, trial box, and occluder. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 20.0). Out of 60 patients, including 37 males and 23 females, between 16-80 years of age. 33 (55 %) patients were diagnosed with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma(POAG), 17 (28.3 %) patients with Primary Close Angle Glaucoma, 7 (11.7%) patients with Acute Closure Glaucoma(PCAG), and 3 (5%) patients with Secondary Glaucoma. Similarly, with glasses, 46 (76.7 %) patients had visual acuity 6/6 to 6/12, 11 (81.3%) patients had 6/18 to 6/36 and 3 (5 %) patients had 6/60. According to contrast sensitivity 30 (50%) patients had 1.25% (80%), 21 had 2.50% (40%) and 9 had 5% (20%). 15 subjects had 1.25% (80%), 13 subjects had 2.5 %( 40%) and 5 subjects had 5% contrast sensitivity in POAG. Around 11 subjects had 1.25% (80%), 4 subjects had 2.5 % (40) and 2 subjects had 5% contrast sensitivity in PCAG, 3 subjects had 1.25% (80%), 3 subjects had 2.5 % (40) and 2 subjects had 5% contrast sensitivity in PCAG. There was a reduction in contrast visual acuity with and without refraction. Most of the patients had variation at the level of Contrast Visual Acuity in POAG.
Cataract is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. However there is surgical option available for treatment with complete cure in majority of patients. For dense cataract Maddox Rod was evaluated. A total of 200 patients were recruited. Maddox Rod test for macular function appears to be useful in a great majority of patients. The assessment of macular function in dense cataract is difficult but the Psycho physiological test like Maddox rod test was found to be the reliable in patients with cataract and its quick and understandable
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
