description: Der Beitrag widmet sich den Erfahrungen und Selbstdeutungen arbeitender Kinder im Alter von 9-15 Jahren in einer deutschen Großstadt. Der qualitativen Untersuchung liegt ein offener Arbeitsbegriff zugrunde, der bezahlte und unbezahlte Arbeit umfasst. Den Kindern ist vor allem wichtig, bei der Arbeit selbstständig handeln zu können und Anerkennung zu finden. Eine bevorzugte, wenn auch nicht ausschließliche Form der Anerkennung sehen sie in der angemessenen Bezahlung. Die eigene Arbeit wird von den Kindern umso ernster genommen, je eher sie erlaubt, die eigenen Kompetenzen einzubringen, je deutlicher ihr konkreter Nutzen für andere ist, und je mehr sie von den Erwachsenen im sozialen Umfeld gewürdigt wird. Sie wird nicht in Konkurrenz zur Schule gesehen, sondern als zusätzliche Möglichkeit, neue Erfahrungen zu machen und den eigenen Handlungsraum zu erweitern. Die eigene Arbeitserfahrung kann zu einem wichtigen Baustein der partizipativen Autonomie der Kinder werden und dazu beitragen, ihren sozialen Status zu stärken und ihre aktive Mitwirkung in der Gesellschaft zu fördern.
description: The contribution deals with the experiences of working children aged 9-14 years of a German city and the meanings they ascribe to their work. The qualitative study is based upon an open concept of work which includes unpaid work as well as paid work. What matters most for children concerning their work is being able to act independently and finding approval for it. They prefer an adequate payment as a form of recognition, but money is not a necessary or the only motive for working. Children's attitude towards their work differs according to the chance it offers to perform their skills, to the concrete use it has for others and for the appreciation of adults in their social environment. Work is not regarded as competing with school, but as an additional chance for gaining new experiences and expanding their scope of activities. Work experience can become an important element of the children s participative autonomy. Thus it can potentially strengthen their social status and encourage girls and boys to play an active role in society.

description: Σκοπός της διπλωματικής εργασίας ήταν ο μετασχηματισμός της θρησκευτικής εικόνας μέσω της μετατόπισής της από τον Δημόσιο χώρο της εκκλησίας στον Ιδιωτικό χώρο του καλλιτεχνικού εργαστηρίου και εν τέλει της μετά παρουσίασής της στον Δημόσιο χώρο του Μουσείου. Μέσα από αυτήν τη διαδικασία τροποποίησης, η ουράνια μεταφυσική ουσία που αποδίδεται στη θρησκευτική εικόνα μεταφέρεται στο εδώ και τώρα, σε ένα συνεχές παρόν. Στη δράση του υποκειμένου. Εξετάστηκαν ζητήματα σχετικά με την αντιληπτική διεργασία, την έννοια και τη σύλληψη του πνεύματος καθώς και η σχέση υποκειμένου (δημιουργός – θεατής) και αντικειμένου (έργο τέχνης). Παράλληλα με την πρακτική σχεδιαστική διαδικασία διερευνήθηκε ο ρόλος του δημιουργού ειδικά κατά την παραγωγή των ζωγραφικών θρησκευτικών εικόνων. Έγινε αναλυτική αναφορά στο κατά πόσο η ζωγραφική, η φωτογραφία και γενικότερα οι αναπαραγωγές που ενέχουν το στοιχείο της μίμησης, οδηγούν στην αληθινή ουσία. Τονίστηκε η ενεργός συμμετοχή του δημιουργού και του θεατή και ο χρόνος και ο τόπος δράσης τους ως προς την αναδιαμόρφωση του ζωγραφικού χώρου. Ασχοληθήκαμε επιπλέον με το σώμα του υποκειμένου και το πώς επηρεάζεται αυτό από τη διαδικασία του μετασχηματισμού της εικόνας. Ένα άλλο θέμα που αναλύσαμε ήταν αυτό της ελευθερίας της έκφρασης και της τέχνης ως πολιτικής πράξης.
description: The aim of this diploma thesis was the transformation of the religious image through its displacement from the Public space of church to the Private space of the artistic workshop and finally its meta-presentation in the Public space of a Museum. Through this procedure of modification, the heavenly metaphysical essence that is attached to the religious image is transferred to here and now, to a constant present. To the subject’s action. The matters that were examined had to do with the perceptual process, the meaning and the conception of the spirit and also the relationship between the subject (creator-spectator) and the object (work of art). At the same time with the practical designing process, the creator’s role, especially during the production of religious painting images, was investigated. There was detailed reference to how much painting, photograph and in general reproductions that involve the element of imitation lead to the real essence. The creator’s and the spectator’s active participation and the time and place of their action were emphasized as to the remodeling of the painting space. In addition, we dealt with the subject’s body and how this is affected by the procedure of the transformation of the image. Another issue that we analyzed was that of the freedom of expression and of the art as a political action.
Could Self-report a valid method to measure adherence to iron folic acid supplementation among pregnant women attending antenatal care service in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Milkiyas, Feleke

description: Background: Iron folic acid supplementation during pregnancy is one of the major intervention given for pregnant women to alleviate the risk of anemia. According to WHO 2012 report anemia prevalence among pregnant women is highest in Africa including Ethiopia. The major problem with increased prevalence of anemia during pregnancy is noncompliance as the women fails to take their pills properly. Objective: Aimed to validate self report to measure adherence to iron folic acid supplementation among ante-natal care attending pregnant women in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Methods: Longitudinal was employed among 361 pregnant women in Addis Ababa from March to July 2019. A multi-stage random sampling procedure was employed. The study participants was prospectively observed over three months using pill count and self report methods. Data were entered using Epi-Info version 7 and analyzed using STATA SE Version 14.1. Estimation of the prevalence of adherence was done using both methods. Sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value was computed to check the validity on the performance of self report in estimating Adherence. McNemar test was done to assess if there was significant difference in adherence rate between the methods. P-value of <0.05 was considered to indicate a significant difference in prevalence. Result: The prevalence of iron folic acid supplementation of 82.8% (at 95% CI, 78.5 – 86.6) was obtained by self report where as adherence rate of 58.2% (95% CI of 52.9 - 63.3) was observed using pill count method. Descripance of 24.6 % difference was observed between both methods of adherence measurement. The sensitivity, specificity and RUC curve of selfreport was showed 97.7%, 37.7% and 0.68% respectively at a P-Vvalue of < 0.05. Conclusion: Valid measurment is extremely important in assessing adherence rate. Self report adherence estimation to IFA supplementation continues to be problematic and difficult in determining how pregnant women are using their supplement. Self-report adherence measurement had poor validity in measuring those who were correctly adhered as compared to pill count. There was a statistically significant difference in estimation of adherence between the self report and pill count methods.

Assessment of community response to indoor residual spraying for malaria prevention and factors influencing its acceptance in Lume District, East Shewa zone of Oromia Region
Creators: name: Teshome, Dawit
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: Background: Indoor residual spraying was a long standing malaria prevention and control strategy in the world. In Ethiopia, it was initiated in 1959 with the global malaria eradication campaign. This intervention is still one of the pillar malaria prevention and control strategies in the country. However, the acceptance of the intervention by the community is becoming a challenge. Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the knowledge and perception of the community about malaria in general and vector control methods focusing on indoor residual spraying in particular, factors that affect its acceptance by the community, and finally to determine re-plastering rate after IRS. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted using interviewer-administered questionnaire. The study was conducted during March-April 2010 in Lume district, Oromia region central eastern part of Ethiopia. 807 house holds were selected from these 6 kebeles by systematic random sampling technique using proportional allocation to size. Focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews were also held to supplement the quantitative data. The quantitative data was managed by Epi-info version 6 and SPSS version 11 statistical softwares. Results: From 776 respondents, 87% of them have at least heard about malaria (called "busa" in their local language. One of the typical sign of malaria i.e. "Fever" was mentioned as sign of malaria by only 41% of the respondents. Mosquito bite was mentioned as a factor for malaria transmission by about 80% of the respondents. Respondents who can read and write including those attended formal education were found 1.65 times more likely of making their house to be sprayed than those who can't read and write [AOR=1.62, 95% CI: (1.05-2.49)]. Households that have heard the announcement were found six times more likely of making their house to be sprayed than those who don't [AOR=6.5, 95% CI: (2.92-14.46)]. Households that perceived increment of nuisance annoyance were found five times more likely of re-plastering the sprayed wall than those who perceived the decrement [AOR=4.98, 95% CI: (1.97-12.62)]. In general, of the 100% targeted households, more than 16% were left unsprayed; among the sprayed ones about 7% were not willing; and more than 20% have re-plastered the sprayed walls with in few days of spray. Conclusions: This study revealed that there is lack of knowledge on malaria prevention and control in the community. Communicating the community about what is going to be done in certain period regarding the intervention was seen to have an impact on the performance. The study also indicated that there is a serious concern regarding the side action of the chemical particularly DDT on house nuisances that the hard science should address besides to checking its efficacy on mosquito.

description: We study the hitherto un-addressed phenomenon of Quantum Hall Effect with a magnetic and electric fields oscillating in time with resonant frequencies. This phenomenon realizes an example of heterodyne device with the magnetic field acting as a driving and is analyzed in detail in its classical and quantum versions using Floquet theory. A bulk current flowing perpendicularly to the applied electric field is found, with a frequency shifted by integer multiples of the driving frequency. When the ratio of the cyclotron and driving frequency takes special values, the electron's classical trajectory forms a loop and the effective mass diverges, while in the quantum case we find an analogue of the Landau quantization. Possible realization using metamaterial plasmonics is discussed.

description: We calculate the mean total number of equilibrium points in a system of $N$ random autonomous ODE's introduced by Cugliandolo et al. in 1997 to describe non-relaxational glassy dynamics on the high-dimensional sphere. In doing it we suggest a new approach which allows such a calculation to be done most straightforwardly, and is based on efficiently incorporating the Langrange multiplier into the Kac-Rice framework. Analysing the asymptotic behaviour for large $N$ we confirm that the phenomenon of 'topology trivialization' revealed earlier for other systems holds also in the present framework with nonrelaxational dynamics. Namely, by increasing the variance of the random 'magnetic field' term in dynamical equations we find a 'phase transition' from the exponentially abundant number of equilibria down to just two equilibria. Classifying the equilibria in the nontrivial phase by stability remains an open problem.

Year: 2018

description: Background: Access to contraceptive services and supplies are fundamental to the well-being of women during their reproductive years. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and predictors of modern contraception use among homeless women in Addis Ababa using health belief model. Methods: A cross-sectional mixed methods study used from June 2017- June 2018. A 178 reproductive age group (15-49) homeless women living in Addis Ababa involved in the study. A multi stage sampling technique used to reach individuals. A structured questionnaire mainly with constructs of health belief model and in-depth interview guide used to collect the data. The quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS version 21 statistical software. The data analysis included Univariate, Bivariate analysis and multivariable analysis via logistic regression model with 95% CI and p- value < 0.05. The qualitative data transcribed and analyzed by using a thematic analysis method using the open code software version 3.6. Results: The mean age of respondents was 25 (±6.293) years. All of the respondents had information about Modern contraceptives (MCs). Where the majority 151 (88%) got the information from health professionals. 159 (93%) of the respondents had chance of pregnancy, 140(81.9%) of the respondents, have ever used modern contraceptives and currently, 122 (71.3%) of the respondents were using modern contraceptives and among those currently using more than half, 65 (53.3%) of them were using Norplant. A units increase in score of perceived threat the odds ratio of using MCs increased by 1.044. AOR 1.044 (95%CI 1.015, 1.074) Similarly, a unit increase in sum score of perceived net benefit the odds ratio to the current use of MCs increased by 1.066. AOR 1.066 (95%CI 1.006, 1.129) Limited knowledge of MCs and reproduction, desire to have more children, thinking to be sexually not active and carelessness, fear of being infertile and also no reason was among the reasons for nonuse of MCs while situation of homeless life, life experience and advice from others were the cues to action to use MCs. Conclusion and recommendation: This study concluded that, all of the study respondents have information about MCs and most of them agree on the benefits of MCs. The prevalence of MC use among homeless women in Addis Ababa is good. The high threat perception about negative reproductive health (RH) outcomes and high net perceived benefit of MCs are the major contributing factors for the MC use improvement. MOH and health sectors at different level should develop strategies that can approach and increase the awareness of threats and knowledge about benefits, use and service availability and accessibility of MCs among homeless women.

Subjects: subject: Nonconformity

description: In this work a linear nonconformity ratio based desirability function (NCDU) is presented as a process capability index. NCDU avoids the use of two different indices for assessing the actual capability and the potential capability. Based on a real case study the performance of this index is compared to other indices in the literature. It was demonstrated that NCDU respects the ”higher the better” rule for any type of distribution and for any specification limits. Moreover, a boot- strap confidence interval is constructed for NCDU. The lower bootstrap confidence limit was used for capability judgment. The presented univariate index overcomes some shortcomings of the existing indices. However, in many cases the quality of a product is given through several quality characteristics. Hence an extension to the multivariate case of NCDU is given by the desirability index. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the geometric mean of the univariate indices is suitable for process capability assessment as it is proved that it could be written as a function of the joint nonconformity ratio for uncorrelated quality characteristics. A threshold for the capability judgment for the multivariate index (NCDM) and a condition under which the multivariate index respects the ”higher the better” rule were proposed. Furthermore, a condition under which the threshold for capability judgment could be used for correlated quality characteristics is presented. The performance of NCDM is compared to other multivariate indices from the literature through a simulated example. The implementation of NCDM revealed that it respects the ”higher the better rule” in the case study. Moreover, a bootstrap confidence interval was constructed for NCDM and the lower limit was used for capability judgment. ...

description: The availability of good workload models is essential for the design and analysis of parallel computer systems. A workload model can be applied directly in an experimental or simulation environment to verify new scheduling policies or strategies. Moreover, it can be used for extrapolating and predicting future workload conditions. In this work, we focus on the workload modeling for parallel computers. To this end, we start with an examination of the overall features of the available workloads. Here, we find a strong sequential dependency in the submission series of computational jobs. Next, a new approach using Markov chains is proposed that is capable of describing the temporal dependency. Second, we analyze the missing attributes in some workloads. Our results show that the missing information can be still recovered when the relevant model is trained from other complete data set. Based on the results of overall workload analysis, we begin to inspect the workload characteristics based on particular user-level features. That is, we analyze in detail how the individual users use parallel computers. In particular, we cluster the users into several manageable groups, while each of these groups has distinct features. These different groups provide a clear explanation for the global characteristics of workloads. Afterwards, we examine the user feedbacks and present a novel method to identify them. These evidences indicate that some users have an adaptive tendency and a complete workload model should not ignore the users' feedbacks. The work ends with a brief conclusion on the discussed modeling aspects and gives an outlook on future work.
Determination of the energy scale uncertainty for the measurement of F2 at low values of Q2 using the H1 detector

description: Systematic studies for the measurement of the cross section measurement of the ep -> e'X reaction and for the extraction of the proton structure function F2(x,Q2) are performed. The data sample analyzed has a luminosity of 450 nb sup(-1) and corresponds to a special data taking period taken in the year 2000, where the interaction point of the ep scattering was moved from its nominal position. In order to minimize the total systematic error of the measurement, detailed studies concerning the calibration of the main calorimeters of the H1 detector are required. Such studies and their influence on the cross section measurement are the main subject of the thesis. The kinematic region of the measurement has values of 9.5 x 10 sup(-6) < x < 8.0 10x sup(-3) and 0.2 < Q2 < 3.5 GeV2 and extends the kinematic coverage of the previous shifted vertex analysis based on data taken by the H1 detector in the year 1995. Also, the total systematic error is significantly reduced in comparison to the previous shifted vertex analysis.

description: Introduction Providing sufficient food and nutrition to meet people's basic needs for health, growth and development has been a long standing challenge for African countries. This challenge is further exacerbated by the emergency of HIV/AIDS. Food is often identified as the most immediate and critical need by people with HIV/ AIDS. Objectives The objective of the study was to assess the BMI change and its contributing factors of HIV positive adults after antiretroviral treatment. Method A facility based cross-sectional study was employed to study the change in BMI of HIV infected adults after ART, who were enrolled to HIV chronic care in 11 purposively selected public hospitals in Addis Ababa. A total of 399 clinical records were systematically selected from the roster of respective hospitals and assessed for their nutritional status at initiation, three and six months of ART. The nutritional status was evaluated based on body mass index (BMI). Data were entered in to a computer and analyzed using SPSS. Result The mean age of the study participants was 34 years. After ART, cases with body mass index (BMI) < 18.5 kg/m2 dropped from 30.7% to 15.2%. With ART, decreased frequency of illness, increase CD4 count and improve functional status. In logistic regression, BMI after six months of ART was found to have significant association with baseline low CD4 count, clinical stage IV and opportunistic infection. Conclusion Poorer nutritional response were observed in patients who were on ART with clinical stage IV, illnesses and CD4<200 before ART. This study provided another evidence to support the WHO recommendation on initiating ART before patients clinical and immunological status deteriorates.

description: In these notes we review the S-matrix theory in (1+1)-dimensional integrable models, focusing mainly on the relativistic case. Once the main definitions and physical properties are introduced, we discuss the factorization of scattering processes due to integrability. We then focus on the analytic properties of the two-particle scattering amplitude and illustrate the derivation of the S-matrices for all the possible bound states using the so-called bootstrap principle. General algebraic structures underlying the S-matrix theory and its relation with the form factors axioms are briefly mentioned. Finally, we discuss the S-matrices of sine-Gordon and SU(2), SU(3) chiral Gross-Neveu models. This is part of a collection of lecture notes for the Young Researchers Integrability School, organized by the GATIS network at Durham University on 6-10 July 2015.

Masterarbeit

description: Diese Masterarbeit ist im Rahmen der Ausbildung zur schulischen Heilpädagogin an der HfH in Zürich entstanden. Die Erforschung des Themas „somalische Kultur“ war ein Vorschlag von Andrea Lanfranchi im Rahmen des ZEPPELIN-Projektes. In dieser Arbeit wird untersucht, welche Werte und Normen in somalischen Familien gelebt werden, denn sie prägen in hohem Mass die Bindungsqualitäten zwischen Mutter und Kind. Im Wesentlichen geht es um die Variablen „Feinfühligkeit versus Unfeinfühligkeit gegenüber den Mitteilungen des Babys“, „Kooperation versus Beeinträchtigung der Interaktionen zwischen Mutter und Kind“ und „Annahme versus Zurückweisung des Kindes“. Diese kulturellen Bindungsmuster beeinflussen wiederum das Lernverhalten. Die theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit der Geschichte und Gesellschaft von Somalia, der Bindungstheorie und zentralen Aspekten der Bildung aus kulturellen Sichtweisen bildet Grundlage für den empirischen Teil. Es werden zwei Mütter und ein Kulturvermittler befragt, die aus Somalia geflohen und über Umwege in die Schweiz gelangt sind. Die zentrale Frage ist, welche Bindungs- und Bildungsqualitäten die schulische Integration in der Schweiz beeinflussen und welche Erfahrungen bisher mit somalischen Kindern bezüglich schulische Integration in der Schweiz gemacht wurden. Diese Wissensbasis wird mit den Aussagen einer Schweizer Pflegefachfrau und einem Schweizer Ethnologen ergänzt, die beide unter somalischen Flüchtlingen arbeiten. Der Vergleich zwischen Theorie und Daten ergibt Einblick in das Bindungs- und Bildungsverhalten der somalischen Kultur. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass somalische Kinder in der Schweiz herausgefordert sind, insbesondere durch die erlernte Verbundenheitsorientierung und das Phänomen Gewalt vom Babyalter an. Die Daten sprechen für beziehungsfördernde Mittel in der Schule unter dem Aspekt der kulturellen Sichtweisen.

description: Multiphase flows, including free surface and two-phase flows, are commonly encountered in many industrial applications. Effects of wave phenomena are for example important when designing boats, drop formation is essential for ink jet printers, and bubbles may come into play in chemical reactors and heat exchangers. Numerical simulation of these phenomena is a complex and challenging task. The desire to have both high accuracy and computational speed often stands in direct contradiction to each other. The aim of this thesis was to describe a suitable methodology with potential to be both very accurate and also efficient. High resolution benchmarks were also developed in order to validate and quantify the performance of a code (TP2D) developed according to the presented approach. The developed methodology combined a non-conforming finite element discretization with the level set method for tracking the interfaces. A semi-implicit approach to implementing surface tension forces was also derived, which allowed for significantly larger time steps in comparison with the traditional explicit approach. The benchmarks were used to compare the developed code with two commercial CFD codes (Comsol Multiphysics and Ansys Fluent). The commercial codes did not show strong convergence towards the reference solution, in contrast to TP2D which was both faster and significantly more accurate. TP2D even computed a more accurate solution on the very coarsest grid compared to the best results of the commercial codes.

description: Background: None of the contraceptive methods are fully side-effect free. The number one reason women give for dissatisfaction with discontinuation hormonal contraception is side effects, such as mood disorder and depression that lead to discontinuation. The purpose of this tudy was to assess the association between contraceptive use and depression among female employeesin governmental institution in Sebeta town, Oromia regional state, central Ethiopia. Methods: Institutional based cross sectional study was conducted among female employees in governmental institutions found in Sebeta town, conducted from August 2015 to Jun 2016. Selfadministered questionnaire was used to collect data. The data were obtained through a standard questionnaire including PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9). The questionnaire was included socio demographic variable, social and economic factors, environmental variables. Data entry was being done using EPI-info version 7 and analysis was done using SPSS for windows version 20. Associations between determinants and outcome of interest (depression) was analyzed using multiple logistic regression, and was displayed using odds ratio with confidence intervals.Logistic regressions were used to assess the impact of different determinants for depression. Results:According to the PHQ-9, 34.10% women employees were identified by PHQ-9 as having had any form of depression diagnosis disorder. After adjusting confounding effects current use of contraceptive was not associated with depression, however marital status (AOR=2.31,95%CI (1.00, 5.33)), ever use of injectable(AOR=1.59,95%CI(1.02, 2.49)), Exposure of violence (AOR=1.98,95%CI(1.20, 3.26)), sufficiency of income (AOR=2.11,95% CI (1.26, 3.53)), total family size(AOR=1.50, 95%CI(1.02, 2.20)), problems of everyday living food cost(AOR=3.47,95%CI(1.56,7.67)) and problems of everyday living house furniture cost (AOR=1.56,95% CI (1.01, 2.39)) were statistical significant. Conclusion; In this study, there is no association between current use of contraception and depression. Marital status, ever use of injectable, exposure of violence, income covering living expenses, total family size, problems of everyday living food cost and problems of everyday living house furniture cost were the determinants ofdepression; therefore, women should be aware of using hormonal contraceptive with out fearing on its side effect related to depression. Key words: Contraceptive methods and Depression.

description: We show that topological phases should be realizable in readily available and well studied heterostructures. In particular we identify a new class of topological materials which are well known in spintronics: helical ferromagnet-superconducting junctions. We note that almost all previous work on topological heterostructures has focused on creating Majorana modes at the proximity interface in effectively two-dimensional or one-dimensional systems. The particular heterostructures we address exhibit finite range proximity effects leading to nodal superconductors with Majorana modes localized well away from this interface. To show this, we implement a Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) proximity numerical scheme, which importantly, involves two finite dimensions in a three dimensional junction. Incorporating this level of numerical complexity serves to distinguish ours from alternative numerical BdG approaches which are limited by generally assuming translational invariance or periodic boundary conditions along multiple directions. With this access to the edges, we are then able to illustrate in a concrete fashion the wavefunctions of Majorana zero modes, and, moreover, address finite size effects. In the process we establish consistency with a simple analytical model.

description: Background: - Work related lower back pain is one of the commonest musculoskeletal disorders affecting all age groups including adults in work place. Welding Workers in Metal and engineering industry are commonly exposed to lower back pain. There is limited information on the prevalence and associated factors that leads to work related lower back pain. Objective: -The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of work related Lower Back Pain and to identify associated factors among welding workers Methods:- - Cross-sectional study design was implemented from March – April /2017 among 422 welders in selected metal and engineering industries in Addis Ababa and surrounding towns. An Amharic version adapted and pre tested Standard Nordic Musculoskeletal questionnaire was used to collect data using four data collectors and two supervisors. Data was entered in EPI info version 7 and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Frequency tables, graphs and descriptive summaries were used to describe the study variables and co-linearity test were done. To control the effect of confounding variables, multivariate logistic regression models with hierarchical entry of core variables was done. Variables with p-value less than 0.05 under 95% CI in final model were considered as significant Results: - The twelve month prevalence of work related lower back pain among this working group was 62.1 % with 95% C.I: (57.5, 66.7%). longer service years for more than 20 years [AOR (95% C.I): 3.58 (1.14-4.36), repetitive task within < 30 second [AOR (95% C.I): 2.26 (1.18-4.32)], not get training on OSHA [AOR (95% C.I): 4.4 (2.68 -7.20), not doing physical exercise regularly [AOR: 2.17, 95% CI ((1.36-3.46)], extended working hours for more than 8 hours [AOR (95% CI : 3.66 (2.06-6.51) were predictors for work related lower back pain. Conclusion and Recommendation: -The prevalence of work related lower back pain was higher among welding workers. Working for longer years, not performing repetitive tasks, extended working hours, absence of training on OSHA and regular physical exercise, were the most contributing factors in increasing lower back pain. Therefore the factory managers should under gone job rotation for those with higher service years to less loaded area, workers should done regularly physical exercises, get training on OSHA for all existing and new hired workers and MOLSA should enforce factory management to stick to ILO proclamation on healthy working hours to reduce risk of developing low back pain among welders Key words: - Welders, Work related lower back pain, Ethiopia

description: Abstract – English The outbreak of covid-19, which turned into a pandemic, brought the need for the states and governments to take restrictive measures at all costs, in order to prevent the increased death rates of citizens and to obtain necessary time to discover essential solutions with the aid of the global scientific community. The present study examines the importance of human rights, but also their shielding in times of crisis. In particular, it analyzes the role of human rights that are the ultimate guide to safeguarding any citizen in the face of the unprecedented challenge of the pandemic. Later, the study focuses on different initial approaches of countries and whether they made the right decisions both in reducing the covid-19 and mainly in the protection of human life. However, the main aim of the study is to present China's shaped model of the virus, which controlled the outbreak of the pandemic through exemplary methods, but at the same time greatly degraded the citizens through repression, censorship and provocation
description: Το ξέσπασμα του Covid-19, που μετατράπηκε σε πανδημία, έφερε την ανάγκη των κρατών και των κυβερνήσεων να λάβουν περιοριστικά μέτρα με κάθε κόστος, προκειμένου να αποτρέψουν τα αυξημένα ποσοστά θανάτων των πολιτών και να βρουν τον απαραίτητο χρόνο για να ανακαλύψουν ουσιαστικές λύσεις με τη βοήθεια της παγκόσμιας επιστημονικής κοινότητας. Η παρούσα μελέτη εξετάζει τη σημασία των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων, αλλά και την προστασία τους σε περιόδους κρίσης. Ειδικότερα, αναλύει το ρόλο των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων που αποτελούν τον τελικό οδηγό για τη διασφάλιση κάθε πολίτη απέναντι στην πρωτοφανή πρόκληση της πανδημίας. Αργότερα, η μελέτη επικεντρώνεται σε διαφορετικές αρχικές προσεγγίσεις χωρών και στο κατά πόσο έλαβαν τις σωστές αποφάσεις τόσο για τη μείωση του covid-19 όσο και κυρίως για την προστασία της ανθρώπινης ζωής. Ωστόσο, ο κύριος στόχος της μελέτης είναι να παρουσιάσει το μοντέλο της Κίνας για τον ιό, η οποία έλεγξε το ξέσπασμα της πανδημίας με υποδειγματικές μεθόδους, αλλά ταυτόχρονα υποβάθμισε σε μεγάλο βαθμό τους πολίτες μέσω της καταστολής, της λογοκρισίας και της πρόκλησης.

description: Oshtoran Syndrome, also known as H63D Syndrome Type 3, is a very rare and extremely complex disease that affects the entire body. It arises from a chain of events, beginning with damage to the immune system caused by an infection in childhood or adolescence, which then clinically activates the homozygous HFE H63D mutation in affected individuals, leading to a gradual NTBI poisoning over years. This, combined with the damaged immune system, results in a progressive disease that usually leads to significant symptoms by the third decade of life at the latest. In advanced stages, dysfunction of the cell powerhouses (mitochondria) typically occurs as well. By the fifth decade of life, most patients are severely disabled and require care.

description: Depressive Erkrankungen gehören zu den häufigsten psychischen Erkrankungen. Unter den Betroffenen befinden sich auch Eltern minderjähriger Kinder. Diese sind bedingt durch die elterliche Erkrankung vielfältigen Belastungen ausgesetzt. Mittels einer Literaturstudie wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Folgen eine depressive Erkrankung eines Elternteils auf die psychosoziale Entwicklung kleiner Kinder haben kann. Es zeigt sich, dass die betroffenen Kinder ein erhöhtes Risiko für sozialemotionale Auffälligkeiten, Verhaltensprobleme sowie interpersonelle Schwierigkeiten aufweisen. Ausgehend von zentralen Prinzipien präventiver Unterstützung werden Konsequenzen für eine heilpädagogische Unterstützung auf der Kindergartenstufe abgeleitet. Einer möglichst frühen Förderung und der Zusammenarbeit aller Beteiligten kommt dabei eine zentrale Bedeutung zu.
