ABSTRACT
Teaching is a highly noble profession and teachers are always a boon to the society. The ultimate process of education could be simpli?ed as a meaningful interaction between the teacher and the taught. The teacher thus plays a direct and crucial role in moulding a pupil towards education. Since a teacher is a role model for the students, job satisfaction and professional commitment of teachers become very vital in the ?elds of education. Thus, the researcher felt the need to investigate the job satisfaction in relation to professional commitment of secondary school teachers. An attempt was made in the present investigation is Job Satisfaction Among Secondary School Teachers. To Aim: Objective: study the differences between gender (male & female) and management (government & private) on Job Satisfaction among secondary school teachers. Sample of the present study consists of 400 teachers in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy Sample: districts of Telangana State. Job Satisfaction scale developed by Meera Dixit (1993) was used. Results Tool: Conclusion: revealed signi?cant differences between gender (male & female) and management (government & private) with regard to Job Satisfaction.
ABSTRACT
Aims: In view of significant role of osteocalcin and adiponectin in the onset of insulin resistance and diabetes in rat model and cell line studies we aimed to study the influence of family history for diabetes on osteocalcin and adiponectin levels and their role in initiating the changes in diabetic markers in healthy adult springs of diabetic parents, thus a hypothesis can be drawn on their role in developing diabetes in high risk population. Methodology: Age between 18 to 22 years was selected and divided into three groups. Group I: control group consists (n=81) with no family history of diabetes. Group II: (n=147) with one of their parents with history of type 2 diabetes. Group III: (n=47) with both parents having history of type 2 diabetes. In all the groups we estimated fasting plasma glucose, lipid profile, insulin and adiponectin and osteocalcin. Results: We observed significant lower levels of adiponectin 8.7 ± 1μg/ml in group-III and 9.5 ±1.3 μg/ml in group-II when compared to control 11.0 ± 1.2 μg/ml (p<0.01) and HOMA-IR in children of diabetic parents had a statistically significant correlation with plasma Adiponectin with Pearson’s coefficient -0.504. Through linear regression analysis parental diabetes influences plasma adiponectin p <0.01 (B -1.50, 95% CI -1.79 - -1.20) but not osteocalcin P>0.05 (B .313, 95% CI -.114 - .740) levels in children of diabetic parents. Conclusion: family history for diabetes does not influence osteocalcin levels but may influence adiponectin gene expression leading to a decrease in its plasma concentration, which might play a key role in developing diabetes in near future.
