description: We construct a holographic model with Weyl corrections in five dimensional spacetime. In particular, we introduce a coupling term between the axion fields and the Maxwell field such that the momentum is relaxed even in the probe limit in this model. We investigate the Drude behavior of the optical conductivity in low frequency region. It is interesting to find that the incoherent part of the conductivity is suppressed with the increase of the axion parameter $k/T$, which is in contrast to other holographic axionic models at finite density. Furthermore, we study the superconductivity associated with the condensation of a complex scalar field and evaluate the critical temperature for condensation in both analytical and numerical manner. It turns out that the critical temperature decreases with $\tilde{k}$,indicating that the condensation becomes harder in the presence of the axions, while it increases with Weyl parameter $γ$. We also discuss the change of the gap in optical conductivity with coupling parameters. Finally, we evaluate the charge density of the superfluid in zero temperature limit, and find that it exhibits a linear relation with $\tildeσ_{DC}(\tilde{T_c})\tilde{T_c}$, such that a modified version of Homes' law is testified.

On the possibility of helicity oscillations in the saturation of the Tayler instability

description: Recent numerical results of current-driven instabilities at low magnetic Prandtl number and high Hartmann number support the possibility of a saturation state characterized by helicity oscillations. We investigate the underlying mechanism by analyzing this possibility using an higher-order Landau-Ginzburg effective Lagrangian for the weakly non-linear amplitude dynamics, where the magnetic and velocity perturbations are linearly dependent. We find that, if the mirror symmetry between left- and right-handed modes is spontaneously broken, it is impossible to achieve an oscillating helical state. We argue that the result is likely to hold also adding higher-order terms and in the presence of an explicit symmetry breaking. We conclude that an oscillating saturating state for the Tayler instability is unlikely to depend on the interaction of chiral modes.

description: Urinary retention (UR) caused by non-neurogenic conditions is a frequent disorder often requiring the use of intermittent catheterization (IC). This study examines the burden of illness among subjects with an IC indication due to non-neurogenic UR. Health-care utilization and costs were extracted from Danish registers (2002–2016) related to the first year after IC training and compared to matched controls. A total of 4,758 subjects with UR due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 3,618 subjects with UR due to other non-neurological conditions were identified. Total health-care utilization and costs per patient-year were significantly higher compared to matched controls (BPH: 12,406 EUR vs 4,363, p < 0.000; other non-neurogenic causes: 12,497 EUR vs 3,920, p < 0.000) and driven mainly by hospitalizations. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) were the most frequent bladder complications often requiring hospitalization. The inpatient costs per patient-year for UTIs were significantly higher for cases than controls (BPH: 479 EUR vs 31, p < 0.000; other non-neurogenic causes: 434 EUR vs 25, p < 0.000). The burden of illness caused by non-neurogenic UR with need for IC was high and essentially driven by hospitalizations. Further research should clarify if additional treatment measures may reduce the burden of illness in subjects suffering from non-neurogenic UR using IC.

Relief from Relief?: Greek-Born Adoptees “Talk Back”

description: When the first waves of Greek children reached the USA in the early 1950s, to be adopted by American parents, this overseas adoption movement was presented as the US humanitarian relief effort of the postwar days. It was also the feel-good story that captivated western public opinion for years to come. It was one of the central narratives of Cold War US aid to Greece. But when the Greek-born adoptees, as adults, started to speak and write for themselves, as they have done since 2011, a different narrative emerged. This new narrative destabilizes the purported humanitarian “rescue” of “Greek orphans,” and it merits our close attention. The adoptees’ own memoirs drive the ex-centric, the extra-ordinary, the de-centering narrative on US relief of the past twelve years (2011-2022). Their testimonies help to power the field of critical adoption studies, which itself emerged around the year 2000. This article presents a critical analysis of adoption stories written by Greek-born adoptees: two book-length memoirs and a collective volume of shorter essays, all published between 2019 and January 2023.

description: In this paper we study Kac's 1D particle system, consisting of the velocities of $N$ particles colliding at constant rate and randomly exchanging energies. We prove uniform (in time) propagation of chaos in Wasserstein distance with explicit polynomial rates in $N$, for both the squared (i.e., the energy) and non-squared particle system. These rates are of order $N^{-1/3}$ (almost, in the non-squared case), assuming that the initial distribution of the limit nonlinear equation has finite moments of sufficiently high order ($4+ε$ is enough when using the 2-Wasserstein distance). The proof relies on a convenient parametrization of the collision recently introduced by Hauray, as well as on a coupling technique developed by Cortez and Fontbona.

description: We explore the effects of the multi-phase structure of the interstellar medium (ISM) on galactic magnetic fields. Basing our analysis on compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of supernova-driven turbulence in the ISM, we investigate the properties of both the mean and fluctuating components of the magnetic field. We find that the mean magnetic field preferentially resides in the warm phase and is generally absent from the hot phase. The fluctuating magnetic field does not show such pronounced sensitivity to the multi-phase structure.

General background conditions for K-bounce and adiabaticity

description: We study the background conditions for a bounce uniquely driven by a single scalar field model with a generalized kinetic term $K(X)$, without any additional matter field. At the background level we impose the existence of two turning points where the derivative of the Hubble parameter $H$ changes sign and of a bounce point where the Hubble parameter vanishes. We find the conditions for $K(X)$ and the potential which ensure the above requirements. We then give the examples of two models constructed according to these conditions. One is based on a quadratic $K(X)$, and the other a $K(X)$ which is avoiding divergences of the second time derivative of the scalar field, which may otherwise occur. An appropriate choice of the initial conditions can lead to a sequence of consecutive bounces, or oscillations of $H$. In the region where these models have a constant potential they are adiabatic on any scale and because of this they may not conserve curvature perturbations on super-horizon scales. While at the perturbation level one class of models is free from ghosts and singularities of the classical equations of motion, in general gradient instabilities are present around the bounce time, because the sign of the squared speed of sound is opposite to the sign of the time derivative of $H$. We discuss how this kind of instabilities could be avoided by modifying the Lagrangian by introducing Galileion terms in order to prevent a negative squared speed of sound around the bounce.

description: In 1827 and 1828, eight ships with food and clothing were sent to Greece from America for the use of women, children and old men. This was the first major American philanthropic endeavor outside the borders of the US. This paper looks at the terms of distribution and the power of the appointed American agents to suggest that postcolonial concerns related to this enterprise need to be considered. For, despite the good results of the American involved, this was Greek relief without the serious involvement of Greeks.

description: To conduct cost-utility and budget impact analysis of providing Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy versus no treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in Colombia from a third-party payer perspective. We used a Markov model to assess the cost-utility and budget impact analysis of CPAP in patients over 40 years old with moderate to severe OSA. Data on effectiveness and utility values were obtained from published literature. A discount rate of 5% was applied for outcomes and costs. ICER was calculated and compared against the threshold estimated for Colombia, which is 86% of the GDP per capita. Over a lifetime horizon, the base case analysis showed the incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained with CPAP therapy was COP$3,503,804 (USD$1,011 in 2020 prices). The budget impact analysis showed that the adoption of CPAP therapy in the target population would lead to a cumulative net budget impact of COP$411,722 million (USD$118,784,412 in, 2020 prices) over five years of time horizon. CPAP was cost-effective compared to no-treatment in OSA. According to the budget impact analysis, adopting this technology would require a budget allocation that is partially offset by reduced number of strokes and traffic accident events.

description: In the context of structure formation with ultralight axion dark matter, we offer an alternative explanation for the mass relation of solitonic cores and their host halos observed in numerical simulations. Our argument is based entirely on the mass gain that occurs during major mergers of binary cores and largely independent of the initial core-halo mass relation assigned to hosts that have just collapsed. We find a relation between the halo mass $M_h$ and corresponding core mass $M_c$, $M_c\propto M_h^{2β-1}$, where $(1-β)$ is the core mass loss fraction. Following the evolution of core masses in stochastic merger trees, we find empirical evidence for our model. Our results are useful for statistically modeling the effects of dark matter cores on the properties of galaxies and their substructures in axion dark matter cosmologies.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: The water policy that has been issued by the government of Ethiopia in 1999 is both comprehensive and sound. Following the water policy, the water sector strategy has been developed and issued in 2001 to put the water policy into action. Based on water strategy, the water sector development program has been drawn up for a period of 2002-2016. It is know about eleven years since the water policy has been issued. The extent of its impact on water resources development and management has not been clear so far due to absence of policy implementation plans with appropriate monitoring system and feedback mechanisms. There is no means assessing the merits and drawbacks of the policy. This paper tries to assess Ethiopian Water Resources Management Policy and its implementation. Data were obtained via a questioner and interview from 38 participants from Ministry of Water Resource, three agencies, two public enterprises, four regional bureaus, three water related private companies and one NGO. An interview was also conducted with six key experts from water sector particularly with policy implementations issues. Both primary and secondary data were used. The writer uses Questioner and interview to collect the necessary data. The data gathered has been analyzed using the various statistical methods like tables, graphs, percentages. Based on the data obtained from the respondents the study-identified lack of institutional arrangement, absence of policy implementation plan, absence of public awareness and community participation are critical for the implementation of the policy. Therefore based on the major problems recommendations are suggested

description: This paper presents an octree construction method, called Cornerstone, that facilitates global domain decomposition and interactions between particles in mesh-free numerical simulations. Our method is based on algorithms developed for 3D computer graphics, which we extend to distributed high performance computing (HPC) systems. Cornerstone yields global and locally essential octrees and is able to operate on all levels of tree hierarchies in parallel. The resulting octrees are suitable for supporting the computation of various kinds of short and long range interactions in N-body methods, such as Barnes-Hut and the Fast Multipole Method (FMM). While we provide a CPU implementation, Cornerstone may run entirely on GPUs. This results in significantly faster tree construction compared to execution on CPUs and serves as a powerful building block for the design of simulation codes that move beyond an offloading approach, where only numerically intensive tasks are dispatched to GPUs. With data residing exclusively in GPU memory, Cornerstone eliminates data movements between CPUs and GPUs. As an example, we employ Cornerstone to generate locally essential octrees for a Barnes-Hut treecode running on almost the full LUMI-G system with up to 8 trillion particles.
The Effect of In-Store Promotion towards Customers' Purchase Decision The Case of Shoa Supermarket
Creators: name: Afework, Tinsae

Year: 2019

description: Promotions generally have an important role in the marketing program of retailers. In recent times, retailers are diverting a growing proportion of their promotion budgets from traditional out-of store media advertizing to in-store communication. This research was conducted to investigate the effect of in-store promotion on customer's purchase decision: the case of selected shoa supermarkets in Addis Ababa. Thus, it has tried to assess the status and the ways in which in-store promotion are carried out in the selected branches of the supermarket. It has considered different in-store elements which are mostly applied by the supermarket through categorizing them in to two i.e. price based in-store promotions such as, temporary price reduction, loyalty discount, and multi-item promotion as well as non-price based in-store promotions such as point of sale advertisements, premiums and in-store salespersons. The kind of research design used was an explanatory type. To achieve the objective of the study, five point's likert scale questionnaire was physically distributed to 384 customers of the supermarket Out of which 330 (86%) were collected. Descriptive, correlation and regression analysis methods were used to analyze the collected data by using SPSS software version 20 and Questionnaires reliability was estimated by calculating Cronbach's Alpha. Descriptive analysis tools such as frequency, percentage, mean along with standard deviation and statistical analysis tools such as correlation coefficient were worked out and used to explore the relationships between variables. Finally, Regression analysis was performed to study the effect of independent variables on purchase decision. The research findings indicated that there was a significant relation between the selected in-store promotion elements and purchase decision. All the independent variables were examined simultaneously on purchase decision; results showed that temporary price reduction from price based and Point of sale as well as in-store salesperson from non-price based in-store promotion have a significant effect on purchase decision. The findings also suggested some measures which can be taken into consideration in order to enhance purchase decision behaviors of customers in the selected supermarket. As a result, from customers of the three selected supermarkets, the study has proved that in-store promotion has a significant influence on customer purchase decision

description: In 1921, the YMCA out of Constantinople appointed William Jourdan Rapp director of a “Boys’ Camp” at a site near Kilios on the Black Sea. Named Perry, equally for the five values of Personality, Education, Recreation, Religion, and Youth as for James Perry who “gave his life for the advancement of YMCA work in Turkey,” this camp ran a special month-long program designed to create “leaders” who would be able to volunteer at orphans’ camps later in the same summer. With the goal of understanding more about the realities of campers’ lives in Orphans’ Camps and other Work Camps in the “Near East” during the interwar period, this paper looks at Rapp’s personal papers from the years of his YMCA service in the Mediterranean, including extensive reports on and correspondence concerning Camp Perry—as well as a scrapbook and a newspaper jointly put together by the camp staff and the campers themselves.

description: The settling of heavy spherical particles in a column of quiescent fluid is investigated. The performed experiments cover a range of Galileo numbers ($110 \leq \text{Ga} \leq 310$) for a fixed density ratio of $Γ= ρ_p/ρ_f = 2.5$. In this regime the particles are known (M. Jenny, J. Dušek and G. Bouchet, Journal of Fluid Mechanics 508, 201 (2004).) to show a variety of motions. It is known that the wake undergoes several transitions for increasing $\text{Ga}$ resulting in particle motions that are successively: vertical, oblique, oblique oscillating, and finally chaotic. Not only does this change the trajectory of single, isolated, settling particles, but it also changes the dynamics of a swarm of particles as collective effects become important even for dilute suspensions, with volume fraction up to $Φ_V = \mathcal{O}\left(10^{-3}\right)$, which are investigated in this work. Multi-camera recordings of settling particles are recorded and tracked over time in 3 dimensions. A variety of analysis are performed and show a strong clustering behavior. The distribution of the cell areas of the Voronoï tessellation in the horizontal plane are compared to that of a random distribution of particles and shows clear clustering. Moreover, a negative correlation was found between the Voronoï area and the particle velocity; clustered particles fall faster. In addition, the angle between two adjacent particles and the vertical is calculated and compared to a homogeneous distribution of particles, clear evidence of vertical alignment of particles is found. The experimental findings are compared to simulations.

The study used cross qualitative and quantitative approach by means of structured interview with sample members in the cooperative sector as the basic data gathering tool followed by in- depth interviews with leaders and officials in selected cooperative societies and concerned bodies at different levels and focus group discussions with a view to illuminate on the finding from the secondary data reviews. The study shows that the selected case study cooperatives have considerably contributed to rural poverty reduction through agricultural cost reduction, access to market and better price for outputs to their members. However, the potentials of the cooperatives and the extent of their development have fallen short of success due to low standard of performance, narrow scope of services, poor management, financial limitations, corruptions and misuse of funds, and lack of coordinated work of stakeholders. The findings of the study on the selected cooperatives and households show that given the willingness of the farmers to join cooperatives, the feeling of belongingness they have to the cooperatives and the participatory method of development the cooperatives have, the rural low- income population would take any opportunity to join cooperatives that would help members to end poverty at the household level

description: We show that the Hausdorff distance between any forward and any backward surgery paths in the sphere graph is at most 2. From this it follows that the Hausdorff distance between any two surgery paths with the same initial sphere system and same target sphere system is at most 4. Our proof relies on understanding how surgeries affect the Guirardel core associated to sphere systems. We show that applying a surgery is equivalent to performing a Rips move on the Guirardel core.

description: Many models of Higgs portal Dark Matter (DM) find themselves under pressure from increasingly tight direct detection constraints. In the framework of gauge field DM, we study how such bounds can be relaxed while retaining the thermal WIMP paradigm. When the hidden sector gauge symmetry is broken via the Higgs mechanism, the hidden sector generally contains unstable states which are lighter than dark matter. These states provide DM with an efficient annihilation channel. As a result, the DM relic abundance and the direct detection limits are controlled by different parameters, and the two can easily be reconciled. This simple setup realizes the idea of `secluded' dark matter naturally.

description: We study the production of scalar leptoquarks at IceCube, in particular, a particle transforming as a triplet under the weak interaction. The existence of electroweak-triplet scalars is highly motivated by models of grand unification and also within radiative seesaw models for neutrino mass generation. In our framework, we extend the Standard Model by a single colored electroweak-triplet scalar leptoquark and analyze its implications on the excess of ultra-high energy neutrino events observed by the IceCube collaboration. We consider only couplings between the leptoquark to first generation leptons and quarks and carry out a statistical analysis to determine the parameters that best describe the IceCube data as well as set $95\%$ CL upper bounds. We analyze whether this study is still consistent with most up-to-date LHC data and various low energy observables.

description: Mit Statistik und mit Statistiken kann man Lügen. Das ist trivial. Auch mit Bildern, Gesten, Worten kann man lügen. Ich werde mich im weiteren auf eine Auswahl eher indirekter Lügen konzentrieren. Diese indirekten Lügen leben davon, daß der Empfänger einer Nachricht über den Grad der Gewißheit getäuscht wird, über den der Versender der Nachricht verfügt (Abschnitt 2), oder die Botschaft, vom Versender gesteuert, nicht richtig übersetzt (Abschnitte 3 und 4), oder über den Einfluß des Zufalls irreführend unterrichtet wird (Abschnitt 5). In allen diesen Fällen geschieht die Lüge sozusagen durch Mittäterschaft des Opfers: Der Lügner zählt darauf, daß der Belügte ihm bei seinen Lügen hilft, daß er oder sie aus Unwissenheit oder Fahrlässigkeit eine Nachricht anders dechiffriert als es dem wahren Sachverhalt entspricht
Best Practices in Refugee Integration_AliZamani_.pdf

description: Refugee integration occurs when both refugees, and the host society cooperate with each other in a mutual process and get to a common ground. The best practices in refugee integration discussed in this study are effective policy making, integrationist acculturation and sustainable livelihood programs. Refugee self-reliance is a crucial matter that affects other aspects of a refugee's life and contributes to refugee's well-being. Although refugees should attempt to integrate themselves into the hosting society, effective policy making, sustainable livelihood programs provided to refugees and an integrative model of acculturation will impulse and sustain this attempt for integration. Practically, a sustainable integrative plan for refugee integration is designed based on the refugee's needs and it is accommodated accordingly to the host country's condition in order to achieve mutual benefits. Policies made by a government to a large extent determine the success of an integration plan, and NGOs are the key participants in consultation for policy making toward refugees. Based on the best practices in refugee integration and on behalf of "The Athens Coordination Center for Migrant and Refugee issues" (ACCMR), a six-month information campaign is proposed that targets local governments and NGOs in Greece. The information campaign aims to inform the target audiences about the best practices in refugee integration through contents, an information sharing session and educational workshops.

description: Extremely low-density exoplanets are tantalizing targets for atmospheric characterization because of their promisingly large signals in transmission spectroscopy. We present the first analysis of the atmosphere of the lowest-density gas giant currently known, HAT-P-67 b. This inflated Saturn-mass exoplanet sits at the boundary between hot and ultrahot gas giants, where thermal dissociation of molecules begins to dominate atmospheric composition. We observed a transit of HAT-P-67 b at high spectral resolution with CARMENES and searched for atomic and molecular species using cross-correlation and likelihood mapping. Furthermore, we explored potential atmospheric escape by targeting H$α$ and the metastable helium line. We detect Ca II and Na I with significances of 13.2$σ$ and 4.6$σ$, respectively. Unlike in several ultrahot Jupiters, we do not measure a day-to-night wind. The large line depths of Ca II suggest that the upper atmosphere may be more ionized than models predict. We detect strong variability in H$α$ and the helium triplet during the observations. These signals suggest the possible presence of an extended planetary outflow that causes an early ingress and late egress. In the averaged transmission spectrum, we measure redshifted absorption at the $\sim 3.8\%$ and $\sim 4.5\%$ level in the H$α$ and He I triplet lines, respectively. From an isothermal Parker wind model, we derive a mass loss rate of $\dot{M} \sim 10^{13}~\rm{g/s}$ and an outflow temperature of $T \sim 9900~\rm{K}$. However, due to the lack of a longer out-of-transit baseline in our data, additional observations are needed to rule out stellar variability as the source of the H$α$ and He signals.

title: Comparison of the Austrian and German renewable energy expansion laws for solar PV with an evaluation of the incentives for residential PV

description: To reach the targets of the Paris climate agreement, Austria and Germany need to expand their share of renewables in the energy sector. This task can only be achieved if private households back this transition to a sustainable energy system.Austria set out an ambitious plan with the new Erneuerbaren-Ausbau-Gesetz (Renewable Energy Expansion Act, “EAG”) in 2021. Austria aims to become climate neutral by 2040 with a 100% electricity supply from renewable technologies already by 2030.This master’s thesis compares the new Austrian Renewable Energy Expansion Act with the German Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz (Renewable Energy Sources Act,“EEG”, the latest amendment “EEG 2023” was passed in 2022) with regards to the effects on residential solar PV from a political, economic, and legal perspective.Furthermore, a case study including NPV calculations for solar PV systems (6 kWpand 11 kWp) is conducted in three scenarios: scenario 1, whose values refer to electricity prices to the second half of 2021, scenario 2, whose values refer to electricity prices of the second half of 2022, and scenario 3, whose values refer to electricity prices to the second half of 2019. An average Austrian or German 4-person family household is selected as the operator and the subsidy schemes of the EAG and EEG are applied and compared.As Austria and Germany are member states of the EU, both the EAG and the EEGshow similarities as EU energy policies drive them. Recent EU policies oblige EU member states to introduce more market-integrating support schemes, such as market premium schemes instead of feed-in tariffs. In both countries, the operating support for solar PV has declined significantly in recent years. Nonetheless, high electricity prices and therefore higher proceeds of feed-in electricity for operators of solar PV installations have led to a boom of residential solar PV. However, it remains unclear if more private households will acquire solar PV installations when subsidies are relatively low compared to market prices – as it is currently the case in the EAG and EEG as of 2022. Therefore, it is doubtful that Austria and Germany will meet their climate targets. One significant finding of the here presented thesis is that market conditions are crucial for a feasible residential solar IIIPV investment. An important aspect concerning the impact of the subsidy scheme is if the operator can profit from high electricity market prices with the subsidy.As of 2022, operating a solar PV installation has become increasingly profitable in Austria and Germany. However, not due to low support schemes but due to high electricity prices.
