The effectiveness of humanitarian assistance often depends on the effectiveness of the resources utilized such as predictive logic, relief partners, logistics technology, and relief personnel. Analysis of the most recent yet more vulnerable disasters have pointed out that the relief workers often created a difference. Lack of appropriate access to standardized models to train the relief workers has created a need to develop a competency model that can further be validated with the relief organizations to create a standard. The current study aims to develop and test a hypothetical model that proposes a relationship between the competencies of the emergency relief workers, job performance, and job satisfaction through empirical analysis of primary data. The study reveals a good relationship between the competencies, job performance, and job satisfaction and shows a significant impact of the three variables on each other. The study culminates into recommending the key findings of the personnel to be able to improve the efficiency of the relief operation.

Over the last century, Science and Technology moved forward and witnessed exceptional inventions and discoveries due to individual and collaborative research efforts. This momentum opened doors for the deep understanding of biological systems by which it permitted the advancement in technologies and designing of new tools in biomedical field. Since 1901, discoveries and inventions in various fields of science (Chemistry, Physics, Physiology and Medicine, Economics) including literature which can influence the betterment of human race were being awarded with Nobel Prize. Over the past decade, numerous groundbreaking discoveries in physiology and medicine have been reported. This short note is intended to summarize the significance of these findings and few remarkable controversies associated with them.
