description: Πολλές είναι οι έρευνες που έχουν επικεντρωθεί στο πεδίο των μαθησιακών δυσκολιών και της σχέσης τους με την μουσική εκπαίδευση. Η παρούσα εργασία επικεντρώνεται στην δυσλεξία, η οποία προκαλεί ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον στο εν λόγω πεδίο, λόγω των ομοιοτήτων και των διαφορών που υπάρχουν ανάμεσα στην γλώσσα και την μουσική. Αρχικά, μελετάται η μουσική ως εκπαιδευτικό μέσο σε περιπτώσεις μη δυσλεκτικών ατόμων και, κυρίως, ως μέσο αντιμετώπισης της δυσλεξίας και άλλων μαθησιακών δυσκολιών. Η ανασκόπηση εμβαθύνει μέσα από μελέτες περίπτωσης, αλλά και με την ενδελεχή μελέτη ερευνών που ασχολούνται με την επίδραση της μουσικής στο μέσο τυπικό άτομο αλλά και στα άτομα με μαθησιακές δυσκολίες. Στην συνέχεια παρουσιάζονται μέθοδοι παρέμβασης και διδασκαλίας, προκειμένου να ελεγχθεί η αποτελεσματικότητα τους. Επιπλέον, εξετάζεται η χρήση της μουσικής ως διαγνωστικό, ή ακόμα και προβλεπτικό, εργαλείο για τη δυσλεξία και, γενικότερα, για τις μαθησιακές δυσκολίες. Τέλος, μελετάται η εφαρμογή μουσικών προσεγγίσεων για την βελτίωση των ακουστικών και γνωστικών ικανοτήτων των ατόμων με μαθησιακές δυσκολίες
description: Many studies have focused on the area of learning disabilities and the interaction between them and music education. The current research focuses on dyslexia, which has been an interesting issue in the field, because of the similarities and differences between language and music. At first, music as a teaching means in cases of non-dyslexic individuals, is investigated, and more importantly, as a treatment for dyslexia. The review deepens through case studies, as well as through detailed studies on the influence of music on the average normal individual and to individuals with learning disabilities as well. Furthermore, teaching and intervening methods are presented, in order to test their effectiveness. Additionally, music as a diagnostic tool or even predictability factor for specific learning difficulties is examined. Finally, the application of music approaches aiming to improve the auditory and cognitive skills of individuals with learning difficulties is discussed

description: We discuss the energy loss due to gravitational radiation of binaries composed of exotic objects whose horizon boundary conditions are replaced with reflective ones. Our focus is on the extreme mass-ratio inspirals, in which the central heavier black hole is replaced with an exotic compact object. We show, in this case, a modulation of the energy loss rate depending on the evolving orbital frequency occurs and leads to two different types of modifications to the gravitational wave phase evolution; the oscillating part directly corresponding to the modulation in the energy flux, and the non-oscillating part coming from the quadratic order in the modulation. This modification can be sufficiently large to detect with future space-borne detectors.

description: We explore the connections between selection games on Hausdorff spaces and their corresponding Vietoris space of compact subsets. These considerations offer a similar relationship as the well-known relationship between $ω$-covers of $X$ and regular open covers of the finite powers of $X$. The primary utility of this method is to establish similar relationships with $k$-covers and the Vietoris space of compact subsets. Particularly, we show that some commonly studied selection principles are equivalent to a related hyperspace being Menger or Rothberger. We then apply these equivalences to correct a flawed argument in a previous paper which attempted to show that a Pawlikowski theorem is true for $k$-covers.
Condensation temperature of interacting Bose gases with and without disorder

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The momentum-shell renormalization group (RG) is used to study the condensation of interacting Bose gases without and with disorder. First of all, for the homogeneous disorder-free Bose gas the interaction-induced shifts in the critical temperature and chemical potential are determined up to second order in the scattering length. The approach does not make use of dimensional reduction and is thus independent of previous derivations. Secondly, the RG is used together with the replica method to study the interacting Bose gas with delta-correlated disorder. The flow equations are derived and found to reduce, in the high-temperature limit, to the RG equations of the classical Landau-Ginzburg model with random-exchange defects. The random fixed point is used to calculate the condensation temperature under the combined influence of particle interactions and disorder.

description: Gauginos might play a crucial role in the search for supersymmetry at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Mass predictions for gauginos are rather robust and often related to the values of the gauge couplings. We analyse the ratios of gaugino masses in the LHC energy range for various schemes of supersymmetry breakdown and mediation. Three distinct mass patterns emerge.

description: The flexibility of the bacterial flagellar hook is believed to have substantial consequences for microorganism locomotion. Using a simplified model of a rigid flagellum and a flexible hook, we show that the paths of axisymmetric cell bodies driven by a single flagellum in Stokes flow are generically helical. Phase-averaged resistance and mobility tensors are produced to describe the flagellar hydrodynamics, and a helical rod model which retains a coupling between translation and rotation is identified as a distinguished asymptotic limit. A supercritical Hopf bifurcation in the flagellar orientation beyond a critical ratio of flagellar motor torque to hook bending stiffness, which is set by the spontaneous curvature of the flexible hook, the shape of the cell body, and the flagellum geometry, can have a dramatic effect on the cell's trajectory through the fluid. Although the equilibrium hook angle can result in a wide variance in the trajectory's helical pitch, we find a very consistent prediction for the trajectory's helical amplitude using parameters relevant to swimming P. aeruginosa cells.

description: 26,000 3-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been produced for Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) by the Hainan Zhanchuang Photonics Technology Co., Ltd (HZC) company in China and passed all acceptance tests with only 15 tubes rejected. The mass production began in 2018 and elapsed for about 2 years at a rate of $\sim$1,000~PMTs per month. The characterization of the PMTs was performed in the factory concurrently with production as a joint effort between HZC and JUNO. Fifteen performance parameters were tracked at different sampling rates, and novel working strategies were implemented to improve quality assurance. This constitutes the largest sample of 3-inch PMTs ever produced and studied in detail to date.

description: Adding nanoparticles to polymers improves the properties significantly, such as UV resistance or even electrical conductivity. The growing use of these composite materials leads to a higher amount in disposals eventually. Within the circular economy there are two ways of handling: the recycling by shredding and reuse and the thermal treatment by combustion in municipal waste incinerators. In both cases there is nearly no information about the behavior of the nanoparticles and possible release scenarios. In this study a laboratory burner is used as a flexible set up to incinerate the polymer nanocomposites. The flue gas containing a complex mixture of combustion gases and particles is characterized by different particle analysers, PAH analysis, VOC analysis and TEM. The biological impact is studied by using a VITROCELL Automated ALI exposure station. Hereby, cells of the adenocarcino cell line A549 as well as a reconstituted bronchial epithelium (MucilAir, Epithelix) were exposed for 4 hours to the aerosols emitted from the combustion process. Within the exposure process, cells were exposed to the native aerosol, an aerosol under conditions to increase particle deposition via high voltage as well as a filtered aerosol, and therefore the sole gaseous phase. Furthermore, each exposure included a so-called clean air control, where cells where exposed to filtered air. The exposure was followed by a 21 h post-incubation before the cytotoxic effects were determined via LDH-release. To reveal if possible adverse effects are caused by the used nano-scaled filling material, all used nanomaterials did also undergo the same combustion process as a single material. Cytotoxicity studies showed no increased cytotoxic effects after the combustion of the sole nano-scaled filling materials. However, combustion of PE containing materials resulted in an enhanced LDH-release, and therefore cytotoxicity, in both cell culture models. Since no difference between exposures of unfiltered and filtered aerosols was apparent, it suggested that the observed cytotoxicity is due to the combustion induced gaseous phase.
Treatment of high ammonia concentration landfill leachate with an anaerobic filter and rotating biological contractor (RBC)
Creators: name: Henderson, J. Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Landfill leachate discharge potentially results in degradation of the receiving environment. One of the primary leachate contaminants of concern is nitrogen, which in the form of ammonia is toxic to aquatic life, and in the form of nitrate may cause eutrophication of the receiving water body. For these reasons, it is often desirable to totally remove nitrogen from leachate prior to discharge to the environment. Biological nitrogen removal appears to be the most practical method of removing nitrogen from leachate. Rotating biological contactors (RBC’s), in particular, have been shown to effectively nitrify high ammonia leachate. If sufficient carbon is available, anaerobic biological treatment processes have been shown to effectively denitrify aerobically treated leachate. This thesis investigates the use of a predenitrifying anaerobic filter and a rotating biological contactor to remove nitrogen from a high ammonia concentration leachate from a municipal solid waste landfill in Kaohsiung, Republic of China. The primary objective of the research was to determine the effects of high ammonia concentration on RBC ammonia loading and removal. Secondary objectives include removing organics and metals from the leachate. The research indicated that 97% ammonia removal from high ammonia leachate (mean 2,140 mg/L) can be achieved at RBC loading rates up to 1.5 g/m 2/day. At higher loading rates, ammonia removal was inhibited. Nitrogen removal for the system averaged 66%, including an estimated 54% in the RBC. Nitrogen removal in the RBC was either the result of simultaneous nitrification/denitrification or air stripping of ammonia in combination with nitrification. Both alkalinity consumption and COD removal results support the explanation that simultaneous nitrification/denitrification (potentially aerobic denitrification) occurred, but since RBC off—gasses were not monitored, neither theory can be confirmed. BOD and COD removal in the system averaged 92% and 49%, respectively. COD:BOD removal was 3.7:1. The system did not effectively remove metals. Overall removal of dissolved metals ranged from —19% for nickel to 59% for manganese. Organic complexing of the metals most probably resulted in low removals.

description: The scope of the present thesis is the study of an Arabic text called “μαζταπάς”. The aim of this investigation is the religious analysis of the relationship among Christians and Muslims during the period that Holy Land was part of the Ottoman Empire. The meaning of this text becomes more expressive and symbolic, from a cultural and a diplomatic point of view, as the language used is the classical Arabic one ‒ (and not as it was common in numerous similar texts the old Ottoman language). In fact, it is an unpublished manuscript with the number 201 from the archive of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem. This specific manuscript of the cylinder 201 is a premature legal document originated from a specific group of citizens that presents its positions about an issue to the Sultan. The specific “μαζταπάς” is signed by a group of Muslim citizens basically Muftis and Imams and it refers in the conflict between Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Church regarding the worship. In conclusion, it appears that solidarity and endorsement between the Patriarchate of Jerusalem and Ecumenical Patriarchate is established due to the support of the Sultan as a leader of a New Rome.

Μέσα στο λαβύρινθο των ιστορικών, διπλωματικών, πολιτικών, συμβολικών και θρησκειολογικών στοιχείων που αφορούν στην Αγία Γη, έμβλημα και των τριών μονοθεϊστικών θρησκειών της περιοχής, μιλώντας για Οθωμανική κατάληψη της Παλαιστίνης, ουσιαστικά αναφερόμαστε στο Προσκυνηματικό Ζήτημα, που ξεκινά με την κατάληψη των Ιεροσολύμων από τους Οθωμανούς το 1517 και εκτείνεται πέραν των Οθωμανών έως και σήμερα. Θελήσαμε λοιπόν, να μελετήσουμε τις διαθρησκειακές σχέσεις που αναπτύχθηκαν μεταξύ χριστιανών και μουσουλμάνων μέσα από την μελέτη ενός αραβικού κειμένου, την περίοδο που η Αγία Πόλη βρισκόταν υπό Οθωμανική κατάληψη. Ήδη η σημασία του κειμένου αυτού αποκτά χαρακτήρα ακόμη πιο συμβολικό από πλευράς πολιτιστικής, άρα και διπλωματικής, όταν η γλώσσα που χρησιμοποιείται είναι η αραβική κλασική γλώσσα (και όχι, όπως σε πολλά και πλείστα άλλα κείμενα παρόμοιου χαρακτήρα, γραμμένα στην παλαιοθωμανική). Πρόκειται για ανέκδοτο χειρόγραφο από το Αρχείο του Πατριαρχείου Ιεροσολύμων, με αριθμό 201. Η μελέτη μας ξεκινά και καταλήγει στο ίδιο το κείμενο. Επιγραμματικά θα πούμε εδώ, δηλαδή εξαρχής, ότι ο μαζπατάς λαμβάνει θέση ξεκάθαρη υπέρ των Ορθοδόξων για την κατοχή από μέρους τους των Προσκυνημάτων.

description: We formulate a novel technique for the detection of functional clusters in discrete event data. The advantage of this algorithm is that no prior knowledge of the number of functional groups is needed, as our procedure progressively combines data traces and derives the optimal clustering cutoff in a simple and intuitive manner through the use of surrogate data sets. In order to demonstrate the power of this algorithm to detect changes in network dynamics and connectivity, we apply it to both simulated neural spike train data and real neural data obtained from the mouse hippocampus during exploration and slow-wave sleep. Using the simulated data, we show that our algorithm performs better than existing methods. In the experimental data, we observe state-dependent clustering patterns consistent with known neurophysiological processes involved in memory consolidation.

description: We review recent studies of the operator product expansion of the plaquette and of the associated determination of the gluon condensate. One first needs the perturbative expansion to orders high enough to reach the asymptotic regime where the renormalon behavior sets in. The divergent perturbative series is formally regulated using the principal value prescription for its Borel integral. Subtracting the perturbative series truncated at the minimal term, we obtain the leading non-perturbative correction of the operator product expansion, i.e. the gluon condensate, with superasymptotic accuracy. It is then explored how to increase such precision within the context of the hyperasymptotic expansion. The results fully confirm expectations from renormalons and the operator product expansion.

AGN Obscuring Tori Supported by Infrared Radiation Pressure
Creators: name: Krolik, Julian H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Explicit 2-d axisymmetric solutions are found to the hydrostatic equilibrium, energy balance, and photon diffusion equations within obscuring tori around active galactic nuclei. These solutions demonstrate that infrared radiation pressure can support geometrically thick structures in AGN environments subject to certain constraints: the bolometric luminosity must be roughly 0.03--1 times the Eddington luminosity; and the Compton optical depth of matter in the equatorial plane should be order unity, with a tolerance of about an order of magnitude up or down. Both of these constraints are at least roughly consistent with observations. In addition, angular momentum must be redistributed so that the fractional rotational support against gravity rises from the inner edge of the torus to the outer in a manner specific to the detailed shape of the gravitational potential. This model also predicts that the column densities observed in obscured AGN should range from about 10^{22} to about 10^{24} cm^{-2}.

description: Topological effects exist from a macroscopic system such as the universe to a microscopic system described by quantum mechanics. We show here that an interesting geometric structure can be created by the self replication procedure of a square with an enclosed circle, in which the sum of the circles area will remain the same but the sum of the circumference will increase. It is demonstrated by means of Monte Carlo simulations that these topological features have great impacts to the vacuum pumping probability and the photon absorption probability of the active surface. The results show significant improvement of the system performance and have application potential in vacuum pumping of large research facilities such as a nuclear fusion reactor, synchrotron and in photovoltaic industry.

description: The light-like linear dilaton background presents a simple time dependent solution of type II supergravity equations of motion that preserves 1/2 supersymmetry in ten dimensions. We construct supergravity D-brane solutions in a linear dilaton background starting from the known intersecting brane solutions in string theory. By applying a Penrose limit on the intersecting (NS1-NS5-NS5')- brane solution, we find out a D5-brane in a linear dilaton background. We solve the Killing spinor equations for the brane solutions explicitly, and show that they preserve 1/4 supersymmetry. We also find a M5-brane solution in eleven dimensional supergravity.

description: We study the effect of reaction times on the kinetics of relaxation to stationary states and on congestion transitions in heterogeneous traffic. Heterogeneity is modeled as quenched disorders in the parameters of the car following model and in the reaction times of the drivers. We observed that at low densities, the relaxation to stationary state from a homogeneous initial state is governed by the same power laws as derived by E. Ben-Naim et al., Kinetics of clustering in traffic flow, Phys. Rev. E 50, 822 (1994). The stationary state, at low densities, is a single giant platoon of vehicles with the slowest vehicle being the leader. We observed formation of spontaneous jams inside the giant platoon which move upstream as stop-go waves and dissipate at its tail. The transition happens when the head of the giant platoon interacts with its tail, stable stop-go waves form, which circulate in the ring without dissipating. We observed that the system behaves differently when the transition density is approached from above that it does when approached from below. When the transition density is approached from below, the gap distribution behind the leader has a double peak and is fat-tailed but has a bounded support and thus the maximum gap in the system and the variance of the gap distribution tend to size-independent values. When the transition density is approached from above, the gap distribution becomes a power law and, consequently, the maximum gap in the system and the variance in the gaps diverge as a power law, thereby creating a discontinuity at the transition. Thus, we observe a phase transition of unusual kind in which both a discontinuity and a power law are observed at the transition density. These unusual features vanish in the absence of reaction time (e.g., automated driving).

description: Background: Mental health is the greatest challenges for the current and future generations. Worldwide, out of the 66 million people suffering from depression; majority (85%) were from low and middle income countries. The prevalence was more common among the prisons population than the community. However, a worldwide consideration given to the problems is very low, particularly for prisoners. Methods: To assess level of depression and associated factors among prisoners in prisons of Northwest Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia, Institutional based cross sectional study was employed on 727 prisoners selected by multistage random sampling from three prisons of northwest Amhara. Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to assess an individuals ’ depression level. The reliability of the tool was checked by Cronbach ’ s Alpha (yielding value of 0.841). Multivariable logistic regression was done to identify factors associated with depression after Hosmer and lemeshow goodness of fit test was used for model fitness. Results: Of the total prisoners participated (649), 284 (43.8%; 95% CI: 39.90, 47.67%) had symptoms of depression. Detainees ’ satisfaction level about life before imprisonment, belief about their life after imprisonment, plan to commit suicide, social support and types of prisons were significantly associated with depression. Conclusions: Depression level among detainees was found to be high. Thus, providing training to scale up satisfaction of prisoners, on how to cope up with environment just before imprisonment and release, and treating prisoners will improve the problem.
The Native Education Centre: its impact on cultural identity and educational outcomes

description: Few, if any accounts of First Nation history and their struggles with aboriginal land questions and rights focus on the “creative political vitality of the Indian peoples of British Columbia” (Tennant, 1990). Instead, researchers usually regard aboriginals as objects of history. First Nations’ school experiences and the negative outcomes have also generally been biased toward the notion that First Nations have and continue to be victims of colonization and a “superior” people who have and continue to oppress them. This study examined the contexts and reasons First Nations graduates gave for choosing to attend a First Nations specific institution and recounted their school experiences in relationship to First Nations culture, identity and educational and career outcomes. The process of research involved working with a research team that developed a survey questionnaire and utilized the focus group method. The participants of the study were the students who were enrolled in one of the six Skills Training programs at the Native Education Centre and who graduated during the years 1989 to 1992. The qualitative analysis of the focus group results provided texture to the quantitative analysis of the survey questionnaire data. From these findings, the researcher discussed the role of a First Nations specific institution in addressing the needs and goals of the adult learners. Based on the positive feedback of the graduates, I present a plausible agruinent that there is a critical need for the existence of places of learning such as the NEC. The study also accounts First Nations in British Columbia as politically active participants of their history who have and continue to be outspoken and active about their concerns regarding the education of their children and communities. First Nations are also characterized as actively involved in challenging federal and provincial policies which do not meet their needs in the advancement of their people. In this study of graduates who attended a First Nations specific post—secondary institution, the researcher recognized First Nations as being involved in the planning, development and implementation of educational practices to meet the needs of their communities.

Συγκεκριμένα, αφού εξειδικεύεται η έννοια της κακής άσκησης της γονικής μέριμνας, αναφέρονται οι αρμοδιότητες του δικαστηρίου και του εισαγγελέως, σε περίπτωση που συντρέχει η τελευταία. Αναφορικά δε με το θεσμό της αναδοχής ανηλίκου, αναλύονται οι προϋποθέσεις για να καταστεί κάποιος ανάδοχος γονέας, ο τρόπος σύστασης και λήξης της αναδοχής και τα δικαιώματα, οι υποχρεώσεις και η ευθύνη των ανάδοχων γονέων
description: The subject of the present dissertation are both the provisions of articles 1532 and 1533 of the Greek Civil Code about poor parental care and the institution of foster care. In particular, after specifying the meaning of poor parental care, the court’s and prosecutor’s jurisdiction are determined. As the institution of the foster care is concerned, we analyze the premises to become a foster parent, the establishment and termination of the foster care and the rights, the obligations and the responsibilities of the foster parent
Measurement of the shape of the boson rapidity distribution for p\bar{p}-> Z/gamma*-> e+e- +X events produced at sqrt(s) of 1.96 TeV

description: We present a measurement of the shape of the boson rapidity distribution for p\bar{p}-> Z/gamma*-> e+e- +X events at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The measurement is made for events with electron-positron mass 71< M_ee < 111 GeV and uses 0.4 fb^-1 of data collected at the Fermilab Tevatron collider with the D0 detector. This measurement significantly reduces the uncertainties on the rapidity distribution in the forward region compared with previous measurements. Predictions of NNLO QCD are found to agree well with the data over the full rapidity range.

The impact of inventory management practice on firms’ competitiveness and organizational performance: Empirical evidence from micro and small enterprises in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Atnafu, Daniel
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: This study aimed to empirically examine the impact of inventory management practice on firms’ competitiveness and organizational performance. Data for the study were collected from 188 micro and small enterprises (MSEs) operating in the manufacturing sub-sector and the relationships and hypothesis proposed in the conceptual framework were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results indicate that higher levels of inventory management practice can lead to an enhanced competitive advantage and improved organizational performance. Also, competitive advantage can have a direct, positive impact on organizational performance. Therefore, it is recommended that policy makers, universities, NGOs and any concerned party who are engaged in supporting of MSEs need to work on providing the necessary training and resource to promote the inventory management practice of MSEs which will result in increasing their competitiveness and organizational performance. That would enhance their contribution to the economic development of the country. Note that, the conclusion obtained from this study may not be used to generalize to large and medium scale as well as overall sectors since its focus is only from the MSEs’ manufacturing sub-sector points of view
Aspects of strong electron-phonon coupling in superconductivity of compressed metal hydrides MH6 with Im-3m structure

description: Recently YH6, compound from a group of theoretically predicted stable compressed MH6 hydrides (M/ Ca, Mg, Y, Sc) with bcc Im-3m crystal structure, was successfully experimentally realized. Superconductivity of pressurized YH6 was confirmed experimentally, Tc / 224 K at 166 GPa, but with critical temperature considerably lower than value predicted by Migdal-Eliashberg (ME) theory. Here we present theoretical reinvestigation of superconductivity in MH6 hydrides. Our results confirm that YH6 and ScH6 with Im-3m structure at corresponding GPa pressures are superconductors but with an antiadiabatic character of superconducting ground state and a multiple gap structure in one-particle spectrum. Transition into superconducting state is driven by strong electron-phonon coupling with phonon modes of H atom vibrations. Based on antiadiabatic theory, calculated critical temperature in YH6 is 231 K which is by 7 K higher than experimental value. For ScH6 calculated critical temperature is 196 K, which is in this case higher by 27 K than former theoretical prediction -169 K.Important results of applied antiadiabatic theory concerns CaH6 and MgH6 in Im-3m structure at corresponding GPa pressures. Theory indicates that these hydrides are not superconductors. It is in sharp contradiction to former predictions based on ME theory which for these hydrides calculated not only Tc well above 200 K, but for MgH6 critical temperature was predicted substantially higher than 300 K. Unfortunately, high pressure synthesis of CaH6, MgH6 nor ScH6, in Im-3m structure has not been realized until present.

description: Abstract Background: Knowledge about methods of emergency contraception could reduce the level of unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion. Particularly, utilization of emergency contraception among unmarried women have beneficiary health outcome as it adds choice for helping sexually active unmarried women to avoid unintended pregnancy and its consequences. Objectives: To assess knowledge, attitude and utilization of emergency contraception among unmarried women of reproductive age. Methods: A cross-sectional community based survey was conducted among 491 unmarried women of reproductive age chosen by systematic random sampling method at Adama Town. Collected data using pre-tested structured questionnaire were analyzed by chi-square test and binary logistic regression. Result: From the total unmarried women participated in the study (n=470), one hundred eighty two (38.7%) had knowledge of emergency contraception. Of these 182, one hundred seventy three (95%) of them know oral pills only and the rest know oral pills and intra uterine devices as a method of emergency contraception. About 61.3% of those ever heard of emergency contraception had positive attitude towards making emergency contraception available to all women who need it but only 4.2% of respondents reported that they had used emergency contraception previously. Age, educational status, occupation, knowledge of time in menstrual cycle when pregnancy is more likely to occur, having experience of sexual intercourse and having discussion on reproductive health are significantly associated with awareness of emergency contraceptive (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Emergency contraception knowledge, attitude and utilization among sampled urban unmarried women is low. Therefore, there is a need to emphasize on increasing knowledge and accessibility of emergency contraception to all unmarried women in the study area.
