ABSTRACT
Expatriates successful assignment has brought very complex and challenging issues currently faced by multinationals. Failed assignments are reported to be very high among expatriate. In light of this, this study provides new empirical evidence of recent expatriation management practices. The majority of the expatriates were dissatisfied with their living conditions and wanted an improvement in cross – cultural training. The major factors influencing expatriates’ low performance at work were security, expatriates’ maladjustment and culture shock experience. Furthermore majority of the expatriates reported that they were provided with host country’s culture and language training and therefore did not experience so much culture shock, but content analysis evidence showed that they did actually experience adjustments issues and culture shock and more focus was to be put in host country preparation. In conclusion, some recommendations for best practices were made.

ABSTRACT
This paper examines the link between monetary and fiscal policy in controlling unemployment in Nigeria using Ordinary Least Square method of estimation between the period 1991 and 2015. The research work made use of money supply and government expenditure as independent variables while the dependent variable was unemployment rate. Data was sourced from National Bureau of Statistics and Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. A multiple linear regression was formulated as model for the study. The findings revealed that money supply and government expenditure have significant impact on unemployment rate in Nigeria as shown by t-test and their probabilities. The F-test also showed that the models are significant in explaining the relationship that exists between all the variables. Therefore, the study concluded that monetary and fiscal policies both have significant impact on unemployment in Nigeria. Based on the findings from the data analysis in this research work, one can conclude that money supply and government expenditure has an important role to play in reducing the level of unemployment that the country is faced with and that if monetary and fiscal policy tools such as these are properly managed and implemented the resultant effect will be positive. The study recommends that monetary policies implemented by CBN should promote favourable investment atmosphere. The use of capital expenditure as a tool for long term growth should also be considered by policy makers.
Keywords: Fiscal Policy, Monetary Policy, Money Supply, Government Expenditure, Unemployment.

To achieve the above objective, this study reviews extant literatures on the concept of management and its origin, management theories and its relevance to practicing managers, problem associated with the development of indigenous management theories and practice as well as the concept of management and culture. By implication, there is need for a detailed empirical study to test the applicability of management theories and practice in Nigeria and to ascertain whether Nigerian managers are on course or not. Also, there is need for sociological research viewpoint on how to solve most of the menace (corruption, bad leadership, tribalism, ethnic violence etc) that serve as the bane of societal growth and development in Nigeria.

ABSTRACT
Acute bacillary dysentery is a common health problem in the tropical countries. The routine method of microscopy culture and sensitivity (MC/S) for specimens sent to the medical microbiology laboratory, takes a minimum of 72hours for provisional diagnosis to be made and in developing countries where there is lack of modern technology for rapid diagnosis. Patients with acutebacillary dysentery suffer for longer period and this could be fatal. The purpose of this study therefore, was to determine the possibility of reducing the time spent on MC/S on stools from patients suffering from acute bacillary dysentery. A direct sensitivity test was carried out on carefully selected portion of blood and mucus stained stool specimens from 100 patients with acute bacillary dysentery sixty of the patients were in- patients in paediatric wards while forty of them were adults from out patients department, whose specimens were collected in the laboratory., fifty of the specimens yielded a heavy pure growth of Shigellaflexneri type 2,while the remaining fifty yielded a heavy pure growth of Shigellaflexneri type3 All the strains were sensitive to gentamici, neomycin and kanamycin, but resistant to ampicillin, erythromycine, chlorampheniocol and tetracycline. Al the patients were treated with 500mg/l of neomycine, mixed with mixed kaolin TD/S/7. Those on admission were discharge after three days, to continue their treatment at home. Direct sensitivity test can speed up treatment for patients with acute bacillary dysentery.

A total sample of 154 nurses/midwives were recruited for the study at Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital, Kano. The result showed that 87.0% of the nurses/midwives were aware of LSS, Majority of the nurses/midwives reported numerous challenges to implementation of LSS some of which include Shortage of skilled birth attendant (93.5%), Attitude of health care provider (79.2%), Inadequate equipment and supplies (81.8%) and Inadequate training for midwives (77.9%); they also identified some of the strategies to promote effectiveness of LSSsuch as Provision of lifesaving skills equipment (84.4%), Training and retraining of personnel in life saving skills (88.3%), Accessibility of patient to the life saving skills services (97.4%).
