EVALUATION OF GOLDEN FACE PROPORTION AS AN INDICATOR OF FACIAL AESTHETICS IN STUDENT POPULATION.
Creators: name: Avinash, Baswaraju
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: BACKGROUND: The Purpose of this study was to assess the role of golden face proportion as an indicator of facial aesthetics in student population.

OBJECTIVES: 1.To determine the physiognomic height and width of Face among study population. 2. To identify individuals with long, normal and short Face. 3.To determine if there are significant differences in the measurements among genders.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This observational study involved 116 students aged 18-25 from Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences in Bangalore, comprising 84 females and 32 males. Facial proportions were assessed using vertical and horizontal measurements in centimeters, taken with a ruler. The study compared proportions relative to the golden ratio..

RESULTS: The facial analysis evaluated measurements such as vertical length from the top of the head to the chin, bizygomatic width, and the distances from trichion to intercanthal line, intercanthal line to subnasale, and subnasale to menton. Results showed that females had significantly longer faces than males with Horizontal Method-1, though no difference was found using the Vertical Method. Males had a significantly higher golden proportion with Horizontal Method-2, while females had a higher proportion using the Vertical Method.

CONCLUSION: It is imperative to state that the golden proportion is not a definitive factor in determining an individual's beauty or handsomeness. Individual perceptions demonstrated a disconnect between the perception of beauty and the golden proportion. Further studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to explore this relationship further.

description: This study empirically examines determinants of credit risk of commercial banks in Ethiopia and interprets the result by relating with theories , related empirical reviews and the regulations. The study used balanced panel model in examining the regression model and collected the secondary data from purposively selected 7 commercial banks out of 17 commercial banks currently operating in Ethiopia covering the 15-year period 2000 to 2014 and National Bank of Ethiopia annual. Accordingly model selection was done by Hausman test to determine the most suitable model to be used in this study and the result showed that Random Effect Model become appropriate. The study used one dependent variable credit risk (CR), five independent variables that are inflation (INF), financial sector development (FSD), competition (CON), loan to deposit ratio (LTD) and profitability (ROA). The result of the study showed that, inflation has a positive and significant influence on the credit risk. Financial sector development also shows positive and significant relationship with credit risk of commercial banks in Ethiopia. The study recommends that commercial banks managers employ a more flexible approach to dealing with the macroeconomic factors: such as with inflation, an increase in the loan loss provision was recommended when there was low inflation and a decrease in loan loss provision in cases of high inflation rate. There is a significant and negative inverse relationship between competition (CON), loan to deposit ratio and profitability with the credit risk of commercial banks in Ethiopia. The empirical result showed that the lagged nonperforming assets (credit risk) had a strong and statistically significant positive influence on the current non-performing assets (credit risk). The study reveals that both macroeconomic, industry specific and bank specific factors play crucial role in determining the credit risk of the commercial banking sector in Ethiopia. Keywords: Ethiopia, Credit risk, Bank-specific factors, Industry-Specific factors, Macroeconomic variables.

description: We give a construction of an odd spectral triple on the Cuntz algebra $O_{N}$, whose $K$-homology class generates the odd $K$-homology group $K^1(O_{N})$. Using a metric measure space structure on the Cuntz-Renault groupoid, we introduce a singular integral operator which is the formal analogue of the logarithm of the Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold. Assembling this operator with the infinitesimal generator of the gauge action on $O_{N}$ yields a $θ$-summable spectral triple whose phase is finitely summable. The relation to previous constructions of Fredholm modules and spectral triples on $O_{N}$ is discussed.

Non-perturbative effects and indirect exchange interaction between quantum impurities on metallic (111) surfaces

description: The (111) surface of noble metals is usually treated as an isolated two dimensional (2D) triangular lattice completely decoupled from the bulk. However, unlike topological insulators, other bulk bands cross the Fermi level. We here introduce an effective tight-binding model that accurately reproduces results from first principles calculations, accounting for both surface and bulk states. We numerically solve the many-body problem of two quantum impurities sitting on the surface by means of the density matrix renormalization group. By performing simulations in a star geometry, we are able to study the non-perturbative problem in the thermodynamic limit with machine precision accuracy. We find that there is a non-trivial competition between Kondo and RKKY physics and as a consequence, ferromagnetism is never developed, except at short distances. The bulk introduces a variation in the period of the RKKY interactions, and therefore the problem departs considerably from the simpler 2D case. In addition, screening, and the magnitude of the effective indirect exchange is enhanced by the contributions from the bulk states.

Bulk-edge correspondence, spectral flow and Atiyah-Patodi-Singer theorem for the Z2-invariant in topological insulators

description: We study the bulk-edge correspondence in topological insulators by taking Fu-Kane spin pumping model as an example. We show that the Kane-Mele invariant in this model is Z2 invariant modulo the spectral flow of a single-parameter family of 1+1-dimensional Dirac operators with a global boundary condition induced by the Kramers degeneracy of the system. This spectral flow is defined as an integer which counts the difference between the number of eigenvalues of the Dirac operator family that flow from negative to non-negative and the number of eigenvalues that flow from non-negative to negative. Since the bulk states of the insulator are completely gapped and the ground state is assumed being no more degenerate except the Kramers, they do not contribute to the spectral flow and only edge states contribute to. The parity of the number of the Kramers pairs of gapless edge states is exactly the same as that of the spectral flow. This reveals the origin of the edge-bulk correspondence, i.e., why the edge states can be used to characterize the topological insulators. Furthermore, the spectral flow is related to the reduced eta-invariant and thus counts both the discrete ground state degeneracy and the continuous gapless excitations, which distinguishes the topological insulator from the conventional band insulator even if the edge states open a gap due to a strong interaction between edge modes. We emphasize that these results are also valid even for a weak disordered and/or weak interacting system. The higher spectral flow to categorize the higher-dimensional topological insulators are expected.

Assessment of Community Participation in Sustainable Local Economic Development: A Case of three Selected Woredas in Lideta Sub-City, Addis Ababa City Administration (in the years: 2011 to 2014)
Creators: name: Tadesse, Dinberu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia

description: The study dealt with the link between sustainable local economic development and community participation in Three Woredas of Lideta Sub-city in Addis Ababa. The objective of the study is to assess the sustainability of community's participation in local economic development and the outcome. The issues observed to achieve the objective were areas of community participation, institutionalization of participatory practices, substantive coordination of the actors and outcomes of these processes and activities in the selected Woredas of Lideta Sub-city. Mixed approach (both Qualitative and Quantitative approach) is used. Semi-structured questionnaire is prepared, pre-tested and administered for randomly selected respondents from the list of households from woreda 8, 9 and 10. 369 respondents filled the questionnaire. In-depth interview, focus group discussion and observation tools were developed and employed to elicit important information from the community and triangulate with secondary and questionnaire data. The result of the study has shown that, PLCEDW is not a new thing that was started from zero; it was and is being under way at different time. The local communities are not fully involved in the PLCEDW from planning to evaluation phase. Concentration of the development projects on a locality development only; absence of market relation between the PLCEDWs and small and micro business organizations; loose relation between the PLCEDW actors and lack of awareness creation are the major problems that adversely affect participatory process. The study also identified the key problems that are visible in the study areas. They are: paternalistic role of professionals and officials; inhibiting and prescriptive role of the state; over-reporting of development success, selective participation; hard issue bias; miss representing the local community's development need; get keeping by local elites; excessive pressure for immediate results than long term goals, lack of public interest to be involved in PLCEDW. In general the observations of data results from various sources, the development activities are not sustainable in the sense also that the process didn't create sizeable employment to the local community. The PLCEDW has not been linked to small and micro enterprises. Therefore, the study concluded with the recommendation that the PLVEDAW should maintain link between the community, the SMEs and other actors in order to engage in sustainable processes and activities of local economic development in the Sub City selected for this study

description: This dissertation explores the healthcare status, concerns and access of Spanish-speaking, immigrant Latinos who live and work in and around Clinton County, Indiana. The study analyzed the responses of 579 participants who answered questions during 20-minute, door-to-door interviews (80% of which were conducted in Spanish). The study’s sponsor, the Indiana Minority Health Coalition (IMHC), was interested in assessing the health needs of this Latino community because it receives IMHC’s funding for health disparity reduction. IMHC was interested in comparing the results of a previous benchmarking study, conducted a decade earlier, to the 2020 results for the purposes of understanding how successfully programming was being implemented. Between 2010 and 2020, Indiana’s Latino population increased nearly 25%, and the population in Clinton County (where more than half of the school children are now Latino) almost doubled. The study was spearheaded by the Purdue Center for Regional Development in conjunction with the Learning Network of Clinton County, a community-based organization that provides education and training in English and Spanish to adult learners, as well as the Mexican Consulate of Indianapolis that promoted the study among Spanish-speakers and shared the study results. Faculty and staff from the Indiana University School of Medicine at Purdue University served in an advisory capacity with medical students enrolled in West Lafayette’s Latino Concentration Program serving as co-investigators. They were assisted by 10 bilingual (Spanish/English) youth of the community and two adult, bilingual (Spanish/English) Promotores de Salud (community health workers) who were trained and earned their ethical research certifications to participate. The study used a mixed-methods, community-based participatory research approach to survey design, data collection, data analysis, dissemination of results. The findings this study revealed are detailed in the following three journal articles that each concentrate on a component of the project. In addition to its focus on health, the survey asked participants about their education and literacy levels, job satisfaction, and feelings of acceptance in the United States. The study provided insights based on descriptive statistics as well as a set of logistic regression models. Immigrant voices were elevated to build awareness of their healthcare and workforce situation among providers, educators, public policymakers, community organizations, and employers of Latino workers. As this work was both exploratory and comparative in nature, there are implications for healthcare and workplace interventions that could improve equitable outcomes.

The Impact of Work Life Conflict on Job Satisfaction in the Banking Industry Focusing on Ten Selected Banks in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Rezene, Filimon
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Work life conflict is defined as a form of inter-related conflict in expectation between both work and life roles. Job satisfaction has been defined as "a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experiences". The study aimed at exploring the impact of work life conflict on job satisfaction in ten selected Banks in Addis Ababa. To achieve this purpose, explanatory study design were used to analyze the data collected through crosssectional survey questionnaire from a sample of 370 bank employees. These respondents were selected using simple random sampling method and were stratified on the basis of banks employees' size. The data collected from the questionnaire were analyzed using Statistical measures such as correlation and multiple regression analysis. The major findings of the study include low level overall job satisfaction in the organizations under study, three work life conflict dimensions i.e., work to personal life interference, work overload and personal life to work interference and job satisfaction found to be inversely and significantly related. And also indicate that job autonomy is the most important factor to have a strong, positive and significant relationship with job satisfaction. In addition to this, four work life conflict dimensions of this research significantly explain the variations in job satisfaction. However, except job autonomy, which statistically and positively predicts the variation in job satisfaction, the three work life conflict dimensions i.e. work to personal life interference, work overload and personal life to work interference statistically and negatively predict the variation in job satisfaction. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that Top management should realize the effect of work life conflict on job satisfaction and should implement work life balance programs, practices and policies, and also it is essential that HR departments are responsive to the needs and constantly changing requirements of workforce and the effect of environmental issues in order to improve programs and policies of work life balance like locally attainable flexible work time arrangements. Key words: Work life conflict, Job Satisfaction, Work Overload, Job Autonomy

description: We study theoretically the asymptotic behavior of the Shiba bound states associated with magnetic impurities embedded in both 2D and 1D anomalous superconductors. We calculate analytically the spatial dependence of the local density of states together with the spin polarization associated with the Shiba bound states. We show that the latter quantity exhibits drastic differences between s-wave and different types of p-wave superconductors. Such properties, which could be measured using spin-polarized STM, offer therefore a way to discriminate between singlet and triplet pairing in low-dimensional superconductors, as well as a way to estimate the amplitude of the triplet pairing in these systems.

description: Pour proposer des campagnes de sensibilisation ciblée, nous avons créé un outil permettant la surveillance des infections associées aux soins (IAS) à partir des données du laboratoire. Les résultats bactériologiques positifs après un délai supérieur à 48 heures par rapport à la date d’hospitalisation font l’objet d’un signalement de l’équipe opérationnelle d’hygiène au médecin correspondant en hygiène dans le service concerné pour la validation clinique du diagnostic d’IAS. Les IAS dépistées étant rapportées à l’activité de l’établissement et des spécialités, nous en mesurons les taux d’incidence pour 1 000 journées d’hospitalisation et pour 100 admissions tous les mois depuis le 1er octobre 2016. Les résultats sont déclinés par spécialité et par site anatomique infecté et l’enquête permet de décrire la flore microbienne responsable de ces infections. Les résultats moyens annuels sont stables malgré des fluctuations mensuelles. Les incidences sont de 2,9 IAS pour 1 000 journées d’hospitalisation et de 1,6 IAS pour 100 admissions à l’échelle de l’établissement. Les résultats détaillés sont transmis aux médecins et font l’objet de communications internes. Ils permettent de suivre au plus près l’épidémiologie des IAS et de proposer des mesures correctives ciblées le cas échéant.

We also give a complete description of the (topological) isolated points of the boundary path space of a graph. As a result, we are able to show that the groupoids of two directed graphs with finitely many vertices and no sinks are isomorphic if and only if the two graphs are orbit equivalent, and that the groupoids of the stabilisations of two such graphs are isomorphic if and only if the stabilisations of the graphs are orbit equivalent.

Thus, the study tries to assess the status and ways cross selling has been put in to practice by selected Ethiopian public and private banks. In addition, this research considers different cross selling dimensions such as perceived benefit, initiatives, effectiveness, and hurdles. To achieve the objective of the study, primary data were collected through questionnaire from sample of 60 bank employees of Commercial bank of Ethiopia and 60 employees Dashen bank . These respondents were selected using simple random sampling technique. The data collected through questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis method and SPSS as a tool of data analysis. Interviews were also conducted with management bodies of the selected private and public banks in Addis Ababa city. The result of the study indicated that, there are several loopholes; such as, lack of training and incentives, aggressive cross selling. In addition to the above findings, the common challenge of the. The finding also suggests some initiatives which can be taken by the banks in order to enhance cross selling practices of the banks. The study also clearly revealed that the four cross selling dimensions are strongly related. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher forwards some recommendations as; continuous supervision on the quality of services, provision of training to employees, and incentives to employees help the banks to achieve their objectives. The study revealed that cross selling practices in public and private sector banks are some difference. Further, this study brought out the major cross selling challenges and issue forced by both banks. Finally some important strategies were suggested for the betterment of officer in public and private sector banks. Key words: cross- selling, banking, retention customer

description: In this paper, a delay differential equations (DDEs) model of leukemia is introduced and its dynamical properties are investigated in comparison with the modified fractional-order system where the Caputo's derivative is used. The model takes into account three types of division that a stem-like cell can undergo and cell competition between healthy and leukemia cell populations. The action of the immune system on the leukemic cell populations is also considered. The stability properties of the equilibrium points are established through numerical results and the differences between the two types of approaches are discussed. Medical conclusions are drawn in view of the obtained numerical simulations.

Creators: name: Amsalu, Shibiru
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: This paper assesses the implications of regulatory policy namely, NBE bills purchase directive, on the development of private commercial banks in Ethiopia. Mixed research approaches and descriptive research type were employed. Accordingly, research questions were approached via research tools like questionnaires, key informant interview and document surveying and analyzed using simple descriptive statistics like ratio, percentage and average. The findings of the research shows that NBE bills purchase directive have negative implications on loanable fund, income and expense, profit, Capital and reserve, and deposit of private commercial banks, whereas positive implications on branch expansion and product development of private commercial banks. According to the finding, the directive affected the loanable fund, income, profit, reserve, and deposit of private commercial banks via reducing them. The implication of the directive implied on expense of private banks via increasing overall expenses. Thus, the NBE bills purchase directive has negative impact on almost all performances of private commercial banks, which further has negative implications on the development of private commercial banks. Finally, respondents forwarded recommendations like lessening the percentage amount of allotment, increasing interest rate paid for the bills and phasing out the directive

description: This research aimed at finding out the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on performance of Ethiopian Private Banks using Dashen Bank S.C. and United Bank S.C. as a case study. It used customers' satisfaction and employees' performance/efficiency as independent variables to measure performance of the banks. In addition the research tried to investigate major challenges encountered by customers in using Technology-based services/products. Structured questionnaire was used to collect relevant data for the research. The data gathered through the questionnaire was analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 16. T-statistic test was carried out to determine the significance of the independent variables on dependent variable. Simple linear regression analysis was also carried out to determine the effect of the independent variables on dependent variable. It was found from the research that Information and Communication Technology indeed has a positive significance impact on performance of Ethiopian Private Banks in respect with satisfying their customer and improve their employees' performance. The simple linear regression analysis also showed a positive coefficient of 0.803 and 0.725 for customer satisfaction and employees performance respectively, which simply mean that there is strong positive relationship between Information and Communication Technology and customers' satisfaction and employees' performance of the banks. The research also identified that the major challenges discouraging customer to use Technology-based services/products of the banks are; mobile and internet connectivity problem and lack of Information and Communication infrastructures. In general, Information and Communication Technology has positively impacted performance of Ethiopian private banks. Key Words: ICT, Customer satisfaction, Employee performance, bank performance, challenges.

Double shadow of a regular phantom black hole as photons couple to Weyl tensor

description: We have studied the shadow of a regular phantom black hole as photons couple to Weyl tensor. We find that the coupling yields that photons with different polarization directions propagate along different paths in the spacetime so that there exits double shadow for a black hole, which is quite different from that in the non-coupling case where only a single shadow emerges. The umbra of black hole increases with the phantom charge and decreases with the coupling strength. The dependence of the penumbra on the phantom charge and the coupling strength is converse to that of the umbra. Combining with the supermassive central object in our Galaxy, we estimated the shadow of the black hole as the photons couple to Weyl tensor. Our results show that the coupling brings richer behaviors of the propagation of coupled photon and the shadow of the black hole in the regular phantom black hole spacetime.

description: We propose a method for detecting the presence of a single spin in a crystal by coupling it to a high-quality factor superconducting planar resonator. By confining the microwave field in a constriction of nanometric dimensions, the coupling constant can be as high as $5-10$\,kHz. This coupling affects the amplitude of the field emitted by the resonator, and the integrated homodyne signal allows detection of a single spin with unit signal-to-noise ratio within few milliseconds. We further show that a stochastic master equation approach and a Bayesian analysis of the full time dependent homodyne signal improves this figure by $\sim 30\%$ for typical parameters.

The Effect Of Brand Equity On Consumer Purchase Intention: The Case Of Ambassador Garment And Trading Plc
Creators: name: Girma, Solomon
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The main aim of this study was to provide empirical evidence on the effect of Brand equity on purchase intention of Ambassador Garment and Trading PLC in Addis Ababa. A quantitative research approach was applied to collect data from the consumers of Ambassador Garment; in which 384 respondents were included. The target population for this study includes consumers of Ambassador Garment and Trading PLC in Addis Ababa. Simple random sampling technique was employed to select the branch of Ambassador Garment where the questionnaire was distributed by using lottery method and finally Convenience sampling was used in order to select the target consumers from the selected branch. To accomplish this, a questionnaire survey was conducted by taking the most important Brand equity dimensions that were identified by several researchers from literature. For the sake of achieving the objectives of this study, questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and inferential analyses with the help of SPSS version 23 statistical software program. The study reveals that all Brand equity dimensions such as Brand awareness, Brand perceived quality, Brand association and Brand loyalty have significant and positive effects on consumers purchase intention of Ambassador Garment. The result confirms the hypothesized relationships in the research model. Thus, marketers in the Ambassador Garment needs to carefully consider the brand equity components when designing their branding strategies and apply this concept in a more focused and thorough manner. Marketers are also called on to adapt their branding approaches to fit each marketing environment and enhance brand loyalty to reduce the shifting behavior of consumers. The paper clarifies the relationships between the four brand equity model components and purchase intention

A curious ringlet that shares Prometheus' orbit but precesses like the F ring

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Images obtained by the Cassini spacecraft of the region just beyond Saturn's main rings reveal a previously unreported narrow and dusty ringlet that has dynamical connections with both Saturn's small satellite Prometheus and the F ring. The radial position of this ringlet is observed to vary with time and longitude, indicating that it is eccentric with an eccentricity of 0.0012 and that its mean orbital radius varies between 139,300 km and 139,400 km. These mean radii are consistent with material trapped in a co-orbital 1:1 resonance with Prometheus. However, the apsidal precession rate of this ringlet is not that expected for material close to Prometheus' orbit (2.76 degrees/day). Instead, the ringlet appears to be precessing at the same rate as the F ring (2.70 degrees/day). This ringlet therefore appears to consist of material co-rotating with Prometheus whose apsidal precession rates have been modified by interactions with F-ring material. This ringlet may therefore provide new insights into how rings can maintain organized eccentric structures over a range of semi-major axes
