Assessment of Hepatitis B Vaccine Utilization among Health Care Professionals at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Belete, Tigist
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background: People at high risk for Hepatitis B virus (HBV) include health care workers (HCWs) in contact with blood and human secretions. HBV is unique compared to other sexually transmitted diseases, because it can be prevented with vaccine which is highly efficacious that protects against HBV infection 90- 100%. However, little is known about the utilization of the vaccination among health care professionals in Ethiopia. Objective: To assess hepatitis B Vaccine utilization and potential factors for not getting vaccinated among health care professionals at Tikur Anbessa specialized hospital, 2016 Methods: Facility based cross-sectional study was conducted at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital among five categories of health professionals (doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians, anesthetists and midwives), selected using systematic random sampling technique. Sample size was calculated to be 406 based on prevalence of previous studies. Data was collected using pretested, structured self-administered questionnaires. The data was entered in to Epi-data version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistics was employed to describe the study participants by socio-demographic, behavioral and health service factors. The strength of association was computed using odds ratio and described with crude and adjusted odds ratio. Furthermore, bivariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to identify the significant associations. Statistical significance was declared at p- value< 0.05. Results: A total of 394 health care professionals participated in this study with response rate of 97%. Among them only 88(22.3%) have ever received hepatitis B vaccine. Age groups 30-34 [AOR:21.1,95%CI(3.6-125.5)] and 35-39 [AOR:18.6,95%CI(3.14-109.9)], educational status [AOR:0.14,95%CI,(0.02-0.95)], marital status [AOR:0.24,95%CI,(0.16-0.49)], identification of patients with hepatitis B [AOR:0.5,95%CI(0.25-0.88)], hand washing as infection prevention precaution [AOR:0.2,95%CI(0.09-0.42)] and exposure of health care professionals to patients with hepatitis B [AOR:0.21,95%CI(0.09-0.47)] were found to be significantly associated with hepatitis B vaccine utilization. Conclusion and Recommendation: This study showed that percentage of health care professionals who were tested for hepatitis B and who took hepatitis B vaccination is very low. This is a serious public health scenario and challenge for a country with high prevalence of hepatitis B infection. There is a need to promote hepatitis B virus screening and vaccination among health care professionals and government should play its part by increasing health care budgets and put priority on hepatitis B prevention by establishing a national awareness campaign, spreading screening and vaccination services all over public hospitals

description: Rare-earth doped crystals have long coherence times and the potential to provide quantum interfaces between microwave and optical photons. Such applications benefit from a high cooperativity between the spin ensemble and a microwave cavity -- this motivates an increase in the rare earth ion concentration which in turn impacts the spin coherence lifetime. We measure spin dynamics of two rare-earth spin species, $^{145}$Nd and Yb doped into Y$_{2}$SiO$_{5}$, coupled to a planar microwave resonator in the high cooperativity regime, in the temperature range 1.2 K to 14 mK. We identify relevant decoherence mechanisms including instantaneous diffusion arising from resonant spins and temperature-dependent spectral diffusion from impurity electron and nuclear spins in the environment. We explore two methods to mitigate the effects of spectral diffusion in the Yb system in the low-temperature limit, first, using magnetic fields of up to 1 T to suppress impurity spin dynamics and, second, using transitions with low effective g-factors to reduce sensitivity to such dynamics. Finally, we demonstrate how the `clock transition' present in the $^{171}$Yb system at zero field can be used to increase coherence times up to $T_{2} = 6(1)$ ms.

description: We report the discovery of a microlensing planet OGLE-2012-BLG-0950Lb with the planet/host mass ratio of $q \sim 2 \times 10^{-4}$. A long term distortion detected in both MOA and OGLE light curve can be explained by the microlens parallax due to the Earth's orbital motion around the Sun. Although the finite source effect is not detected, we obtain the lens flux by the high resolution Keck AO observation. Combining the microlens parallax and the lens flux reveal the nature of the lens: a planet with mass of $M_{\rm p} = 35^{+17}_{-9} M_{\oplus}$ is orbiting around a M-dwarf with mass of $M_{\rm host} = 0.56^{+0.12}_{-0.16} M_{\odot}$ with a planet-host projected separation of $r_{\perp} =2.7^{+0.6}_{-0.7}$ AU located at $D_{\rm L} = 3.0^{+0.8}_{-1.1}$ kpc from us. This is the first mass measurement from only microlens parallax and the lens flux without the finite source effect. In the coming space observation-era with $Spitzer$, $K2$, $Euclid$, and $WFIRST$, we expect many such events for which we will not be able to measure any finite source effect. This work demonstrates an ability of mass measurements in such events.

description: Despite the theoretical indication that fast neutrino-flavor conversion (FFC) ubiquitously occurs in core-collapse supernova and binary neutron star merger, the lack of global simulations has been the greatest obstacle to study their astrophysical consequences. In this {\it Letter}, we present large-scale ($50 {\rm km}$) simulations of FFC in spherical symmetry by using a novel approach. We effectively rescale the oscillation scale of FFC by reducing the number of injected neutrinos in the simulation box, and then extrapolate back to the case of the target density of neutrinos with a convergence study. We find that FFC in all models achieves quasi-steady state in the non-linear regime, and its saturation property of FFC is universal. We also find that temporal- and spatial variations of FFC are smeared out at large radii due to phase cancellation through neutrino self-interactions. Finally, we provide a new diagnostic quantity, ELN-XLN angular crossing, to assess the non-linear saturation of FFC.

description: We study the many-body phases of bosonic atoms with $N$ internal states confined to a 1D optical lattice under the influence of a synthetic magnetic field and strong repulsive interactions. The $N$ internal states of the atoms are coupled via Raman transitions creating the synthetic magnetic field in the space of internal spin states corresponding to recent experimental realisations. We focus on the case of strong $\mbox{SU}(N)$ invariant local density-density interactions in which each site of the 1D lattice is at most singly occupied, and strong Raman coupling, in distinction to previous work which has focused on the weak Raman coupling case. This allows us to keep only a single state per site and derive a low energy effective spin $1/2$ model. The effective model contains first-order nearest neighbour tunnelling terms, and second-order nearest neighbour interactions and correlated next-nearest neighbour tunnelling terms. By adjusting the flux $ϕ$ one can tune the relative importance of first-order and second-order terms in the effective Hamiltonian. In particular, first-order terms can be set to zero, realising a novel model with dominant second-order terms. We show that the resulting competition between density-dependent tunnelling and repulsive density-density interaction leads to an interesting phase diagram including a phase with long-ranged pair-superfluid correlations. The method can be straightforwardly extended to higher dimensions and lattices of arbitrary geometry including geometrically frustrated lattices where the interplay of frustration, interactions and kinetic terms is expected to lead to even richer physics.

description: Surface plasmons, which allow extreme confinement of light, suffer from high intrinsic electronic losses. It has been shown that stimulated emission of electrons can transfer energy to plasmons and compensate for the high intrinsic losses. To-date, these realizations have relied on introducing an external gain media coupled to the surface plasmon. Here, we propose that plasmons in two-dimensional materials with closely located electron and hole Fermi pockets can experience gain, when an electrical current bias is applied along the displaced electron-hole pockets, without the need for an external gain media. As a prototypical example, we consider WTe$_2$ from the family of 1T$'$-MX$_2$ materials, whose electronic structure can be described within a type-II tilted massive Dirac model. We find that the nonlocal plasmonic response experiences prominent gain for experimentally accessible currents on the order of mA$μ$m$^{-1}$. Furthermore, the group velocity of the plasmon found from the isofrequency curves imply that the amplified plasmons are highly collimated along a direction perpendicular to the Dirac node tilt when the electrical current is applied along it.

description: ABSTRACT 

 

Organizational climate represents employees' collective perceptions of their work environment, encompassing shared attitudes, beliefs, and values that shape workplace dynamics. Meanwhile, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) refers to voluntary, discretionary actions that employees undertake beyond their formal job descriptions, contributing to overall organizational effectiveness. In public institutions across Somaliland, including the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), fostering a positive organizational climate is essential for enhancing employee motivation, engagement, and performance. However, a persistent gap in OCB among public-sector employees, particularly within the MOA, has impeded the timely achievement of institutional goals.

This study aimed to assess the prevailing levels of OCB and organizational climate within the MOA, examine the relationship between these two constructs, and determine the extent to which organizational climate influences OCB. A quantitative cross-sectional research design was employed, utilizing a census approach to collect data from all 95 MOA employees through a structured questionnaire.

The findings revealed that both OCB and organizational climate at the MOA were relatively low (Overall Mean = 1.93, indicating a low level). Additionally, a strong, positive, and statistically significant correlation was observed between organizational climate and OCB (r = 0.847, p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis identified key organizational climate factors—specifically, organizational goals, rewards, and effective communication—as significant drivers of OCB, highlighting their critical role in shaping employee behavior.

The study concludes that a well-structured and supportive organizational climate is essential for fostering OCB among employees. Accordingly, it is recommended that public institutions, particularly the MOA, prioritize HRM strategies that enhance organizational climate, including clear goal-setting, transparent communication, and equitable reward systems. Strengthening these elements will not only improve OCB but also enhance employee commitment, productivity, and overall institutional effectiveness.

description: Accelerators produce too many signals for a small operations team to monitor in real time. In addition, many of these signals are only interpretable by subject matter experts with years of experience. As a result, changes in accelerator performance can require time-intensive consultations with experts to identify the underlying problem. Herein, we focus on a particular anomaly detection task for radio-frequency (RF) stations at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The existing RF station diagnostics are bandwidth limited, resulting in slow, unreliable signals. As a result, anomaly detection is currently a manual process. We propose a beam-based method, identifying changes in the accelerator status using shot-to-shot data from the beam position monitoring system; by comparing the beam-based anomalies to data from RF stations, we identify the source of the change. We find that our proposed method can be fully automated while identifying more events with fewer false positives than the RF station diagnostics alone. Our automated fault identification system has been used to create a new data set for investigating the interaction between the RF stations and accelerator performance.

Assesement of the Effects of Ethiopian orthodox Christians Fasting on Biochemical Risk Factors and Anthropometric Measurements
Creators: name: Guja, Habtamu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background: As in many developing countries, the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in Ethiopia has been increasing dramatically. Unhealthy changes in the dietary patter are among the responsible factors for the rise. Religious beliefs play a significant part in shaping those behaviors; however, there is no study conducted on the role Ethiopian Orthodox Christians' fasting practice in relation to biochemical indicators for CVD risk factors and anthropometric indices. Objective: To assess the effects of Ethiopian Orthodox Christians' Easter fasting on the anthropometric indices and biochemical risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Methodology: Before and after study design having controls was used among 88 voluntarily selected participants from eligible population and followed over Easter fasting period in two groups; those who fast (fasting group) and do not fast (control group). Participants were measured for serum lipid profiles and anthropometric indices before the beginning and at the end of Easter fasting. Paired t-test was used for comparison of baseline and endline measurements in each group. Besides, independent sample t-test was used for comparison of differences between groups. Results: In comparison to controls, fasters showed significant mean reduction at the end of fasting; 11% in total cholesterol, 20% in LDL-C, 11% in TG, 21% in LDL/HDL ratio, 12% in TC/HDL ratio, and 7% in blood glucose concentrations. Similarly, significant reductions in the anthropometric measurements were observed (p < 0.001); 2% in body weight, BMI and waist to hip ratio whereas, waist circumference was reduced by 3%. However, there was no statistically significant change observed in lipid profiles among control group. Conclusion: Periodic abstinence from animal source foods during the Ethiopian Orthodox Christians' Easter fasting period and shifts to calorie restricted vegetarians' diet style by fasters in this study attributed to the observed biochemical and body measurement changes highlighting that religious fasting has a substantial impact on health-related dietary behaviors.

description: The quantity $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ measures direct CP violation in Kaon decays. Recent SM predictions show a $2.9σ$ tension with data, with the theoretical uncertainty dominating. As rapid progress on the lattice is bringing nonperturbative long-distance effects under control, a more precise knowledge of short-distance contributions is needed. We describe the first NNLO results for $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ and discuss future prospects, as well as issues of scheme dependence and the separation of perturbative and nonperturbative effects. Finally we also comment on the solution of the renormalisation-group evolution in one of the talks at this conference and present the correct solution.

description: The Stein couplings of Chen and Roellin (2010) vastly expanded the range of applications for which coupling constructions in Stein's method for normal approximation could be applied, and subsumed both Stein's classical exchangeable pair, as well as the size bias coupling. A further simple generalization includes zero bias couplings, and also allows for situations where the coupling is not exact. The zero bias versions result in bounds for which often tedious computations of a variance of a conditional expectation is not required. An example to the Lightbulb process shows that even though the method may be simple to apply, it may yield improvements over previous results that had achieved bounds with optimal rates and small, explicit constants.

description: We present general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics (GRRMHD) simulations of super-Eddington accretion flows around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) which may apply to tidal disruption events (TDEs). We perform long duration ($t\geq81,200\, GM/c^3$) simulations which achieve mass accretion rates $\gtrsim 11$ times the Eddington rate and produce thermal synchrotron spectra and images of their jets. The jet reaches a maximum velocity of $v/c \approx 0.5-0.9$, but the density weighted outflow velocity is $\sim0.2-0.35c$. Gas flowing beyond the funnel wall expands conically and drives a strong shock at the jet head while variable mass ejection along the jet axis results in internal shocks and dissipation. For a $T_i/T_e=1$ model, the radio/submillimeter spectra peak at $>100$ GHz and the luminosity increases with BH spin, exceeding $\sim 10^{41} \, \rm{erg\, s^{-1}}$ in the brightest models. The emission is extremely sensitive to $T_i/T_e$ as some models show an order of magnitude decrease in the peak frequency and up to four orders of magnitude decline in their radio/submillimeter luminosity as $T_i/T_e$ approaches 20. Assuming a maximum VLBI baseline distance of $10 \ {\rm{G}}λ$, 230 GHz images of $T_i/T_e=1$ models shows that the jet head may be bright enough for its motion to be captured with the EHT (ngEHT) at $D\lesssim110$ (180) Mpc at the $5σ$ significance level. Resolving emission from internal shocks requires $D\lesssim45$ Mpc for both the EHT or ngEHT. The 5 GHz emission in each model is dimmer ($\lesssim10^{36} \ {\rm{erg\, s^{-1}}}$) than upper limits placed on TDEs with no radio emission which suggests jets similar to our models may have gone undetected in previous observations. Our models suggest that the ngEHT may be utilized for $>230$ GHz radio/submillimeter followup of future TDEs.

description: The covariant two-point functions, derived from Ward identities in direct space, can be affected by consistency problems and can become unbounded for large time- or space-separations. This difficulty arises for several extensions of dynamical scaling, for example Schrödinger-invariance, conformal Galilei invariance or meta-conformal invariance, but not for standard ortho-conformal invariance. For meta-conformal invariance in 1+1 dimensions, these difficulties can be cured by going over to a dual space and an extension of these dynamical symmetries through the construction of a new generator in the Cartan sub-algebra. This provides a canonical interpretation of meta-conformally covariant two-point functions as correlators. Galilei-conformal correlators can be obtained from meta-conformal invariance through a simple contraction. In contrast, by an analogus construction, Schrödinger-covariant two-point functions are causal response functions. All these two-point functions are bounded at large separations, for sufficiently positive values of the scaling exponents.

description: Non-standard neutrino interactions with a massive boson can produce the bosons in the core of core-collapse supernovae (SNe). After the emission of the bosons from the SN core, their subsequent decays into neutrinos can modify the SN neutrino flux. We show future observations of neutrinos from a next galactic SN in Super-Kamiokande (SK) and Hyper-Kamiokande (HK) can probe flavor-universal non-standard neutrino couplings to a light boson, improving the previous limit from the SN 1987A neutrino burst by several orders of magnitude. We also discuss sensitivity of the flavor-universal non-standard neutrino interactions in future observations of diffuse neutrinos from all the past SNe, known as the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB). According to our analysis, observations of the DSNB in HK, JUNO and DUNE experiments can probe such couplings by a factor of $\sim 2$ beyond the SN 1987A constraint. However, our result is also subject to a large uncertainty concerning the precise estimation of the DSNB.

description: Back Ground; Malaria is the most important parasitic and vector born disease which is transmitted by infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Malaria is a major public health problem in Humera Town and the total population is estimated to be high risk for malaria. The purpose of this study was to verify the existence of malaria outbreak and identify the risk factors for the outbreak in Humera Town. Methods; Unmatched case – control study of 123 cases and 123 controls was conducted in house to house data collecting method in the town from November 4 to 20, 2014 after the high magnitude of malaria cases were report from the woreda. Data related to the risk factors, the knowledge of mode of malaria transmission and its control measures were collected. Data collected on clinical bases, risk factors of the disease and knowledge assessment about the disease and mode of transmission and prevention method surveys were managed and analyzed using a statistical computer program epi info version 7.1.3.3 and Microsoft excel. Results; The overall incidence of malaria in the two weeks outbreak investigation report in Setit Humera was 8.4%. The bulk of the cases were found in the productive age played along in the range of 15-59 with the incidence rate of 172 in 1000 followed by the age group 5 – 14 with the incidence rate of 23/1000. The confirmed cases were P.falciparum (1831, 71.9%), P.vivax (686, 26.9%) and Mixed (21, 0.8%) malaria, which were confirmed microscopically and RDT method. The principal classes of environmental elements were the climatic change and a significant risk of man-made breeding sites (OR = 10.9 (95% CI 4.6 – 25.5)) occurred in the town. There were interrupted rivers crossing the town and Tekeze river made a significant risk factor of vector breeding stagnant water ( OR 3.1 (95% CI 1.7 – 5.9)) that was clearly seen mosquito larvae while the team were on the site. The national malaria prevention and control strategy of continuous provision of malaria prevention method (IRS) seems to fail in Setit Humera. Most of the population was living and staying outside home during the night due to high environmental temperature who were exposed to mosquito bite were more significant (OR = 2.3 (95% CI 1.1 – 4.8)) factors to develop malaria than who stay at home. An increasing number of people at risk whose were unplanned and non-immune during the season was one of the factors to increase the number of cases. 4 . Conclusion; This study indicates that living near to the man- made and natural vector breeding sites, failure to apply indoor residual spray, living style of the population and increasing non immune population were the risk factors for the malaria outbreak in the town. It is recommended that sound prevention and control program designed by the country should able to implement in the town to prevent the outbreak of malaria.

description: Superconductors and multiferroics are two of the hottest branches in condensed matter physics. The connections between those two fields are fundamentally meaningful to unify the physical rules of correlated electrons. Recently, BaFe$_2$Se$_3$, was predicted to be multiferroic [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 187204 (2014)] due to its unique one-dimensional block-type antiferromagnetism. Here, another iron-selenide KFe$_2$Se$_2$, a parent state of iron-based superconductor, is predicted to be multiferroic. Its two-dimensional block-type antiferromagnetism can generate a moderate electric dipole for each Fe-Se layer via the Fe-Se-Fe exchange striction. Different stacking configurations of these magnetic blocks give closely proximate energies and thus the ground state of KFe$_2$Se$_2$ may be switchable between antiferroelectric and ferroelectric phases.

Improved Accuracy of High-Order WENO Finite Volume Methods on Cartesian Grids

description: We propose a simple modification of standard WENO finite volume methods for Cartesian grids, which retains the full spatial order of accuracy of the one-dimensional discretization when applied to nonlinear multidimensional systems of conservation laws. We derive formulas, which allow us to compute high-order accurate point values of the conserved quantities at grid cell interfaces. Using those point values, we can compute a high-order flux at the center of a grid cell interface. Finally, we use those point values to compute high-order accurate averaged fluxes at cell interfaces as needed by a finite volume method. The method is described in detail for the two-dimensional Euler equations of gas dynamics. An extension to the three-dimensional case as well as to other nonlinear systems of conservation laws in divergence form is straightforward. Furthermore, similar ideas can be used to improve the accuracy of WENO type methods for hyperbolic systems which are not in divergence form. Several test computations confirm the high-order accuracy for smooth nonlinear problems.

description: Background:-Musculoskeletal disorders are serious problems that every human being would face through the process of his/her life. Studies show that these problems frequently occur in work place. The problem is growing in textile specifically among garment workers in many developing countries. In Ethiopia there is little evidence on the ergonomic exposure for development of musculoskeletal disorder in garment industries. Objective:-This study was to determine prevalence of work related musculoskeletal disorders and its associated factors among garment worker in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods:-Institutional based cross-sectional study design was implemented from March – April /2016 among 422 garment workers in selected Garments in Addis Ababa. An Amharic version pre tested Standard Nordic Musculoskeletal questionnaire and Quick Exposure Check tool were used to collect data using six data collectors and two supervisors. Data was entered in EPI info version 7 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Frequency tables, graphs and descriptive summaries were used to describe the study variables. Model fitness and collinearity test were done. To control the effect of confounding variables, multiple logistic regression models with hierarchical entry of variables was done. Variables with p-value less than 0.05 under 95% CI in final model were considered as having significant association with dependent variable. Result: The response rate of this study was 100%. Three hundred and fifty five (84%) of them were female. The median age of the study subject was 29 years inter quartile range of (25-35). The one year prevalence of work related musculoskeletal disorders was 65.4% with 95% C.I: (60.9, 69.7). Among behavioral factors, habits of not doing physical exercise and alcohol consumption were significantly associated with development of musculoskeletal disorders [AOR: 1.96, 95% CI (1.03-3.72)] and [AOR: 9.4, 95% CI (1.15-76.7)], respectively. Among psychosocial factors, job stress and job satisfaction were associated with higher odds of MSDs [AOR: 4.6, 95% CI (2.55-8.4)] and [AOR: 3.9, 95% CI (2.18-7.07)], respectively. Work environment related factors like work hour per week [AOR: 7.9, 95% CI (3.2-19.5)] and working department had significant association after adjusting all others factors. Conclusion and Recommendation:-Based on findings of this study, there is significant prevalence and associated factors of musculoskeletal disorders in garment workers. Owners and governmental bodies should focus on preventive strategies and safety guidelines in order to prevent workers from occupational hazards.

description: We develop a microscopic theory of the fine structure of Dirac states in $(0lh)$-grown HgTe/CdHgTe quantum wells (QWs), where $l$ and $h$ are the Miller indices. It is shown that bulk, interface, and structure inversion asymmetry causes the anticrossing of levels even at zero in-plane wave vector and lifts the Dirac state degeneracy. In the QWs of critical thickness, the two-fold degenerate Dirac cone gets split into non-degenerate Weyl cones. The splitting and the Weyl point positions dramatically depend on the QW crystallographic orientation. We calculate the splitting parameters related to bulk, interface, and structure inversion asymmetry and derive the effective Hamiltonian of the Dirac states. Further, we obtain an analytical expression for the energy spectrum and discuss the spectrum for (001)-, (013)- and (011)-grown QWs.
