Service Delivery and Customer Satisfaction: (The Case of Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation Eastern Addis Ababa Region Customer Service Centers)
Creators: name: Fikre, Zeritu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: In the past few decades, there has been a growing emphasis on the need for public organizations to see the public (citizens) as customers. The trend in public sector management is changing that customers increasingly used to describe the users of service delivered by government bodies although traditionally associated with the private sector. These customers have rights and responsibilities towards quality service delivery. In this regard, the Ethiopian government has recognized the need for appropriate service delivery policy to encourage public service organizations improve their services to attain user satisfaction. However, the performance of Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation in providing quality service is not in a position to meet the expectation of service users. The complaints on the quality of service and response from the users for lack of the services were indicative of poor service delivery performance in the Corporation. Therefore, the major purpose of the study is assessing service delivery and customer satisfaction of EEPCO in EAAR. It also tries to identify the major areas of problem in relation to service delivery. The analysis was conducted using a descriptive survey method by clustering the respondents into customers, employees and officials; where the main focus was taken to the customers, hence their service perception reflects the actual service provision of the Corporation. The sample is selected using convenient sampling technique. To do this, the customers are first stratified according to meter type and further stratified into domestic, commercial and industry customers based on tariff category. Then questionnaires were distributed to 186 customers by using simple random sampling technique. Both primary and secondary data was used in the study. Moreover, structured questionnaires and interviews are tools used to gather relevant information and statistical tools like percentage, tables and charts are used to analyze the data. The research comes up with the following findings: there was poor service quality and poor performance in service process like new connection, complaint handling and recovery of service failure procedure. So the Corporation failed to meet such requirements in order to provide a reliable service to its customers. Therefore, the Corporation should come up with an appropriate service delivery standards, proper complaint handling mechanisms, relevant training for its front line employees, developing various payment mechanisms and adequate resource management in order to give quality service to its customers

description: We have combined observations of Galactic high-velocity HI from two surveys: a very sensitive survey from the Green Bank 140ft Telescope with limited sky coverage, and the less sensitive but complete Galactic All Sky Survey from the 64m Parkes Radio Telescope. The two surveys preferentially detect different forms of neutral gas due to their sensitivity. We adopt a machine learning approach to divide our data into two populations that separate across a range in column density: 1) a narrow line-width population typical of the majority of bright high velocity cloud components, and 2) a fainter, broad line-width population that aligns well with that of the population found in the Green Bank survey. We refer to these populations as dense and diffuse gas respectively, and find that diffuse gas is typically located at the edges and in the tails of high velocity clouds, surrounding dense components in the core. A fit to the average spectrum of each type of gas in the Galactic All Sky Survey data reveals the dense population to have a typical line width of ~20 km/s and brightness temperature of ~0.3 K, while the diffuse population has a typical line width of ~30 km/s and a brightness temperature of ~0.2 K. Our results confirm that most surveys of high velocity gas in the Milky Way halo are missing the majority of the ubiquitous diffuse gas, and that this gas is likely to contribute at least as much mass as the dense gas.

Decay of density waves in coupled one-dimensional many-body-localized systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The behavior of coupled disordered one-dimensional systems, as modelled by identical fermionic Hubbard chains with the on-site potential disorder and coupling emerging through the inter-chain hopping $t'$, is analysed. The study is motivated by the experiment on fermionic cold atoms on a disordered lattice, where a decay rate of the quenched density wave was measured. We present a derivation of the decay rate $Γ$ within perturbation theory and show that even at large disorder along the chains the interaction leads to finite $Γ> 0$, the mechanism being the interaction-induced coupling of in-chain localized and inter-chain extended single-fermion states. Explicit expressions for $Γ$ are presented for a weak interaction $U < t,t'$, but extended also to the regime $t > U >t'$. It is shown that in both regimes $Γ$ increases with the inter-chain hopping $t'$, as well as decreases with increasing disorder.

description: Within the framework of quantum mechanics working with one-dimensional, manifestly non-Hermitian Hamiltonians $H=T+V$ the traditional class of the exactly solvable models with local point interactions $V=V(x)$ is generalized. The consequences of the use of the nonlocal point interactions such that $(V f)(x) = \int K(x,s) f(s) ds$ are discussed using the suitably adapted formalism of boundary triplets.

description: Nambu-Goldstone theorem provides gapless modes to both relativistic and nonrelativistic systems. The Nambu-Goldstone bosons in insulating magnets are called magnons or spin-waves and play a key role in magnetization transport. We review here our past works on magnetization transport in insulating magnets and also add new insights, with a particular focus on magnon transport. We summarize in detail the magnon counterparts of electron transport, such as the Wiedemann-Franz law, the Onsager reciprocal relation between the Seebeck and Peltier coefficients, the Hall effects, the superconducting state, the Josephson effects, and the persistent quantized current in a ring to list a few. Focusing on the electromagnetism of moving magnons, i.e., magnetic dipoles, we theoretically propose a way to directly measure magnon currents. As a consequence of the Mermin-Wagner-Hohenberg theorem, spin transport is drastically altered in one-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AF) spin-1/2 chains; where the Néel order is destroyed by quantum fluctuations and a quasiparticle magnon-like picture breaks down. Instead, the low-energy collective excitations of the AF spin chain are described by a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) which provides the spin transport properties in such antiferromagnets some universal features at low enough temperature. Finally, we enumerate open issues and provide a platform to discuss the future directions of magnonics.

Cost- analysis of malaria screening to identify transfusion transmissible malaria in Hawassa regional blood bank, Hawassa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Tsehay, Seblewongel
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Back ground: The transmission of malaria by blood transfusion is one of the first recorded incidents of transfusion-transmitted infection (TTI). To reduce the risk of transmission transmissible infection effective screening for the presence of the most common and dangerous transfusion transmissible pathogens should be practiced in transfusion centers. Blood transfusion services should therefore establish efficient systems to ensure that all donated blood is correctly screened for specific transfusion transmissible infection. Objective: To determine the magnitude of transfusion transmissible malaria and to compute the sum cost of screening blood donors for malaria in comparison to other transfusion transmissible infection in Hawassa regional blood bank, Hawassa, Ethiopia. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from April-May 2018, blood samples of donors was screened for malaria using rapid diagnostic test method as well thick smear microscopy as confirmatory test. In addition to this the cost of malaria screening was calculated using activity based costing method.414 donors were included in the study and the donors were selected conveniently. Results: From the total number of 414 blood units collected 29 donors were positive for any of the TTI tested giving an overall positivity rate of 7%. 2(0.5%) of the donors were positive for malaria. 2 donors were deferred due to malaria symptom but both of them ware negative for malaria. The total cost of each test is $5.91 for HIV, $5.48HBV, $5.98 HCV and $5.62 Syphilis. The cost per test for malaria is $4.73 which is the least in comparison to the others and the cost to be added for malaria screening with marginal cost of $11,025.36 which is 4.58%. Conclusion: The overall prevalence of malaria during the study is 0.5% but in the other way the cost for malaria screening computed to be the least compared to other TTI screening and also the cost to be added for malaria screening is minor compared to the complication caused by transfusion transmissible malaria for non immune patients. So, screening of malaria in endemic countries is beneficial. More studies are needed to infer this recommendation to endemic places as routine practice.

Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Viral Infections And Their Associated Factors Among Diabetes Patients Attending University of Gondar Referral Teaching Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia
Creators: name: Million, Yihenew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are hepatotropic viruses whose primary replication occurs in the liver. A range of extrahepatic manifestations such as arthralgias, thyroiditis and diabetes are linked with HCV infections. Patients with diabetes mellitus are predisposed to develop a spectrum of liver diseases. Objective: To determine the burden of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C virus and their associated Factors among diabetes patients attending University of Gondar Referral Teaching Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: A comparative cross sectional study design was employed on 305 diabetes and 305 diabetes free individuals from October 2016 to February 2017. Pre-tested structured interviewer based questionnaire was used to collect data. Blood specimen was collected and serum was separated to determine hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HCV by Enzyme linked immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) assay. Data were entered with epidata; then exported to, cleared and analyzed by the statistical software SPSS version 20. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors that contribute to the occurrence of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viral infections. Statistical significance was considered whenever p- value was less than 0.05. Result: Out of the total, 10.7% was found to be positive for Hepatitis infections, of which 14.43 % and 6.89% study participants were sero-positive for at least one of the viruses in diabetes and control groups respectively. The sero-positivity of Hepatitis B was 8.5% and 4.6% (95% CI, 0.96 - 4.02); and Hepatitis C viral infections 7.5% and 2.3% (95%CI, 1.46 - 8.68) in diabetes and control groups respectively. History of blood transfusion (95% CI, 1.36 - 12.71) and unprotected sex (95% CI, 1.25 - 10.15) were found to be significantly associated with HBsAg sero-positivity and type of diabetes (95% CI, 1.25 - 10.89) was independently associated with anti-HCV seropositivity. Conclusion and recommendation: Even though no statistically significant difference detected in HBV infection, the sero-positivity against anti- HCV antibody in diabetes and controls groups was found to be 7.5% and 2.3%, respectively and the difference was statistically significant (p-value< 0.001). Prospective studies are needed to confirm temporal association and elucidate the reasons of association between DM and Hepatitis B and C viruses.

description: The problem of explaining both inflationary and dark matter physics in the framework of a minimal extension of the Standard Model was investigated. To this end, the Standard Model completed by a real scalar singlet playing a role of the dark matter candidate has been considered. We assumed both the dark matter field and the Higgs doublet to be nonminimally coupled to gravity. Using quantum field theory in curved spacetime we derived an effective action for the inflationary period and analyzed its consequences. In this approach, after integrating out both dark matter and Standard Model sectors we obtained the effective action expressed purely in terms of the gravitational field. We paid special attention to determination, by explicit calculations, of the form of coefficients controlling the higher-order in curvature gravitational terms. Their connection to the Standard Model coupling constants has been discussed.

description: The Maupertuis principle allows us to regard classical trajectories as reparametrized geodesics of the Jacobi-Maupertuis (JM) metric on configuration space. We study this geodesic reformulation of the planar three-body problem with both Newtonian and attractive inverse-square potentials. The associated JM metrics possess translation and rotation isometries in addition to scaling isometries for the inverse-square potential with zero energy E. The geodesic flow on the full configuration space $C^3$ (with collision points excluded) leads to corresponding flows on its Riemannian quotients: the center of mass configuration space $C^2$ and shape space $R^3$ (as well as $S^3$ and the shape sphere $S^2$ for the inverse-square potential when E = 0). The corresponding Riemannian submersions are described explicitly in `Hopf' coordinates which are particularly adapted to the isometries. For equal masses subject to inverse-square potentials, Montgomery shows that the zero-energy `pair of pants' JM metric on the shape sphere is geodesically complete and has negative gaussian curvature except at Lagrange points. We extend this to a proof of boundedness and strict negativity of scalar curvatures everywhere on $C^2, R^3$ & $S^3$ with collision points removed. Sectional curvatures are also found to be largely negative, indicating widespread geodesic instabilities. We obtain asymptotic metrics near collisions, show that scalar curvatures have finite limits and observe that the geodesic reformulation `regularizes' pairwise and triple collisions on $C^2$ and its quotients for arbitrary masses and allowed energies. For the Newtonian potential with equal masses and E=0, we find that the scalar curvature on $C^2$ is strictly negative though it could have either sign on $R^3$. However, unlike for the inverse-square potential, geodesics can encounter curvature singularities at collisions in finite geodesic time.

The Effect of Service Quality on Customer Satisfaction: (The Case of Ethiopian Insurance Corporation)
Creators: name: Helen, Getachew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The major objective of this study is assessing the effect of service quality on customer satisfaction in five branches of EIC found in Addis Ababa. To attain this objective, questionnaire was designed categorized under five dimensions of the SERVPERF model. The sample consists of 285respondents selected based on multistage sampling procedure. This study used quantitative research design and both primary and secondary data. The collected data was analyzed with the help of SPSS version 20.Correlation and multiple regressions were used to investigate the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The correlation results indicate that there is a positive correlation between the dimensions of service quality and customer satisfaction. The results of the regression test showed that offering quality service have positive impact on overall customer satisfaction. And also the highest correlation is between assurance and customer satisfaction followed by empathy. The finding of the analysis showed that, the performance of EIC in providing quality service is not in a position to meet the expectation of the customer. Low service quality leads low customer satisfaction. Based on this, in order to improve performance of the corporation, the researcher suggested that, it should prepare complaint handling mechanisms, relevant training for its front line employees to identify and give the appropriate response to customers specific needs as well as to put customer best interest at heart.

description: In this paper we study the general conditions that have to be met for a gauged extension of a two-dimensional bosonic sigma-model to exist. In an inversion of the usual approach of identifying a global symmetry and then promoting it to a local one, we focus directly on the gauge symmetries of the theory. This allows for action functionals which are gauge invariant for rather general background fields in the sense that their invariance conditions are milder than the usual case. In particular, the vector fields that control the gauging need not be Killing. The relaxation of isometry for the background fields is controlled by two connections on a Lie algebroid L in which the gauge fields take values, in a generalization of the common Lie-algebraic picture. Here we show that these connections can always be determined when L is a Dirac structure in the H-twisted Courant algebroid. This also leads us to a derivation of the general form for the gauge symmetries of a wide class of two-dimensional topological field theories called Dirac sigma-models, which interpolate between the G/G Wess-Zumino-Witten model and the (Wess-Zumino-term twisted) Poisson sigma model.

description: The aim of this work is to provide an understanding of detachment at TCV with emphasis on analysis of the Balmer line emission. A new Divertor Spectroscopy System has been developed for this purpose. Further development of Balmer line analysis techniques has allowed detailed information to be extracted from the three-body recombination contribution to the n=7 Balmer line intensity. During density ramps, the plasma at the target detaches as inferred from a drop in ion current to the target. At the same time the Balmer $6\rightarrow2$ and $7\rightarrow2$ line emission near the target is dominated by recombination. As the core density increases further, the density and recombination rate are rising all along the outer leg to the x-point while remaining highest at the target. Even at the highest core densities accessed (Greenwald fraction 0.7) the peaks in recombination and density may have moved not more than a few cm poloidally away from the target which is different to other, higher density tokamaks, where both the peak in recombination and density continue to move towards the x-point as the core density is increased. The inferred magnitude of recombination is small compared to the target ion current at the time detachment (particle flux drop) starts at the target. However, recombination may be having more localized effects (to a flux tube) which we cannot discern at this time. Later, at the highest densities achieved, the total recombination does reach levels similar to the particle flux.

description: A straightforward arylation of phosphorylamides with arylhydrazines hydrochloride was herein demonstrated. The protocol proceeded in the presence of a catalytic loading of Cu(OAc)2 as the catalyst, DTBP as the external oxidant and Cs2CO3 as the base, but without any ligands. And a series of N-aryl phosphorylamides were successfully obtained in high efficiency (up to 93% yields) with good substituents compatibility (up to 30 examples). Free radical mechanism was proposed for the facile methodology based on the results of control reactions and literature explorations.

description: We analyse the properties of the HI gas distribution in the Auriga project, a set of magnetohydrodynamic cosmological simulations performed with the moving-mesh code AREPO and a physics model for galaxy formation that succeeds in forming realistic late-type galaxies in the 30 Milky Way-sized haloes simulated in this project. We use a simple approach to estimate the neutral hydrogen fraction in our simulation set, which treats low-density and star-forming gas separately, and we explore two different prescriptions to subtract the contribution of molecular hydrogen from the total HI content. The HI gas in the vast majority of the systems forms extended discs although more disturbed morphologies are present. Notwithstanding the general good agreement with observed HI properties -- such as radial profiles and the mass-diameter relation -- the Auriga galaxies are systematically larger and more gas-rich than typical nearby galaxies. Interestingly, the amount of HI gas outside the disc plane correlates with the star formation rate, consistent with a picture where most of this extra-planar HI gas originates from a fountain-like flow. Our findings are robust with respect to the different assumptions adopted for computing the molecular hydrogen fraction and do not vary significantly over a wide range of numerical resolution. The HI modelling introduced in this paper can be used in future work to build artificial interferometric HI data cubes, allowing an even closer comparison of the gas dynamics in simulated galaxies with observations.

description: A synthesis of bis- and poly(imidazoles) by one-pot three-component reaction of 1,2-diketone with aldehydes and ammonium acetate in the presence of catalytic amount of ZnO nanocatalyst is reported. The reactions were performed under conventional heating as well as under microwave irradiation. The anticancer activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7), liver cancer cell line (HepG-2), and epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (CaCO-2). The results of the cytotoxic activity revealed that compound 16 b with bis(imidazole) analog that incorporated a 4,5-difuran rings was potent against HepG-2 cancer cells (IC50 = 8.14 µM) with high selectivity index (SI = 27.47). Compound 25 incorporating four imidazole units was active against MCF-7 cell line (IC50 = 12.62 µM) and showed a significant selectivity index (SI = 7.71). Moreover, compound 27 containing six imidazole units exhibited the highest activity against the CaCO-2 cell line (IC50 = 32.51 μM) with SI = 4.09.

description: Relevante Qualifikationsmerkmale bereits in der Vorauswahl erkennen zu können - ohne aufwändige psychologische Tests durchführen zu müssen - ermöglicht eine effektivere Preselektion von Bewerbern. In diesem Beitrag stellen wir ein integratives Modell der Qualifikation vor, das im Wesentlichen auf drei Grundkonzepten zur Qualifikation basiert und Alltagstheorien entspricht: dem psychologischen Konzept der Expertise, dem Konzept der Schlüsselqualifikation (Mertens 1974a&b) sowie dem Konzept von der Addition wissenschaftsgestützter Fachausbildungskomponenten, das der Ausbildungswirklichkeit an vielen Hochschulen entspricht. Die Stärke des Modells liegt in dem hohen Abstraktionsniveau der Dimensionen, die eine Zuordnung von Variablen aus unterschiedlichen Kontexten zum Modell ermöglichen. In einer Re-Analyse von drei Studien zum Umweltdienstleistungsmarkt in der Schweiz testen und zeigen wir: Mit diesem einfachen integrativen Modell von Qualifikation lassen sich (i) Branchenunterschiede aufzeigen (Qualifikationsprofile) und (ii) Berufserfolg vorhersagen.

Universal properties of high temperature superconductors from real space pairing: t-J-U model and its quantitative comparison with experiment

description: Selected universal experimental properties of high temperature superconducting (HTS) cuprates have been singled out in the last decade. One of the pivotal challenges in this field is the designation of a consistent interpretation framework within which we can describe quantitatively the universal features of those systems. Here we analyze in a detailed manner the principal experimental data and compare them quantitatively with the approach based on a single band of strongly correlated electrons supplemented with strong antiferromagnetic (super)exchange interaction (the so-called $t$-$J$-$U$ model). The model rationale is provided by estimating its macroscopic parameters on the basis of the 3-band approach for the Cu-O plane. We use our original full Gutzwiller-wave-function solution by going beyond the renormalized mean field theory (RMFT) in a systematic manner. Our approach reproduces very well the observed hole doping ($δ$) dependence of the kinetic-energy gain in the superconducting phase, one of the principal non-Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer features of the cuprates. The calculated Fermi velocity in the nodal direction is practically $δ$-independent and its universal value agrees very well with that determined experimentally. Also, a weak doping dependence of the Fermi wave-vector leads to an almost constant value of the effective mass in a pure superconducting phase which is both observed in the experiment and reproduced within our approach. An assessment of the currently used models is carried out and the results of the canonical RMFT as a zeroth-order solution are provided for comparison to illustrate the necessity of introduced higher order contributions.

description: This presentation explores how n-grams can be used to automatically classify and learn about music. An overall discussion is provided of various ways in which n-grams can be adapted for use with digital scores, and of how musically meaningful features can be extracted from them. The jSymbolic 3.0 alpha prototype feature extractor is then used in three sets of music classification experiments investigating how n-gram features perform relative to and combined with other types of features extracted from symbolic music files.

The universal rotation curve of dwarf disk galaxies

description: We use the concept of the spiral rotation curves universality to investigate the luminous and dark matter properties of the dwarf disc galaxies in the local volume (size $\sim11$ Mpc). Our sample includes 36 objects with rotation curves carefully selected from the literature. We find that, despite the large variations of our sample in luminosities ($\sim$ 2 of dex), the rotation curves in specifically normalized units, look all alike and lead to the lower-mass version of the universal rotation curve of spiral galaxies found in Persic et al. We mass model the double normalized universal rotation curve $V(R/R_{opt})/V_{opt}$ of dwarf disc galaxies: the results show that these systems are totally dominated by dark matter whose density shows a core size between 2 and 3 stellar disc scale lengths. Similar to galaxies of different Hubble types and luminosities, the core radius $r_0$ and the central density $ρ_0$ of the dark matter halo of these objects are related by $ ρ_0 r_0 \sim 100\hspace{0.1cm} \mathrm{M_\odot pc^{-2}}$. The structural properties of the dark and luminous matter emerge very well correlated. In addition, to describe these relations, we need to introduce a new parameter, measuring the compactness of light distribution of a (dwarf) disc galaxy. These structural properties also indicate that there is no evidence of abrupt decline at the faint end of the baryonic to halo mass relation. Finally, we find that the distributions of the stellar disc and its dark matter halo are closely related.
