Firm-Level Determinants of Export Performance of Ethiopian Textile and Garment factories (A survey on Selected Textile and garment factories)
Creators: name: Fikreselassie, Ambaw
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: To survive and thrive in today's globalized world, export business is becoming the quest of the time for countries. Especially for countries like Ethiopia, exporting has become an issue of "to be or not to be". One way to beat such a challenge is to engage in export operations. The under performance of the GTP1 laid down by the government coupled with severe shortage of foreign currency have become a serious problem. One of the reasons identified is low export performance of Textile sector. Despite the provision of all round incentives, preferential market accesses and opportunities, the export performance of the sector at firm level continues to decline. Hence, external factors kept constant, identifying what and how firm-level internal and controllable factors determine the export performance of a firm was the objective of the researcher. Three constructs of management characteristic, firm characteristics and export market strategy capabilities have been framed up to see their impact on export sales growth. The research used deductive research approach and non-probability sampling technique in an descriptive research method. The study was designed with cross-sectional study of both primary and secondary data through a survey of online questionnaire to 100 respondents from 10 factories. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis by SPSS revealed that both firm characteristics and export marketing strategy capability of firms are significant to predict the export sales growth while Management characteristics remain to be insignificant. Accordingly, managers and policy makers are recommended to focus their effort to improve internal firm-level factors.

description: We revisit a recent solution to the flavor hierarchy problem based on the paradigm that Yukawa couplings are, rather than fundamental constants, effective low energy couplings radiatively generated by interactions in a hidden sector of the theory. In the present paper we show that the setup required by this scenario can be set by gauge invariance alone, provided that the Standard Model gauge group be extended to the left-right symmetric group of $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_Y$. The simplest scheme in which Yukawa couplings are forbidden at the tree-level organises the right-handed fermions into doublets and presents an additional Higgs $SU(2)_R$ doublet, responsible for the spontaneous breaking of the $SU(2)_R$ gauge sector. The flavor and chiral symmetry breaking induced by the $SU(2)_R$ breaking is transferred at the one-loop level to the Standard Model via the dynamics of the hidden sector, which effectively regulates the spread of the effective Yukawa couplings. The emerging left-right symmetric framework recovers additional appealing features typical of these models, allowing for instance to identify the hypercharges of the involved fermions with their $B-L$ charges and offering a straightforward solution to the strong CP problem. The scheme gives rise to a distinguishing phenomenology that potentially can be tested at the LHC and future colliders through the same interactions that result in the radiative generation of Yukawa couplings, as well as by exploiting the properties of the additional $SU(2)_R$ Higgs doublet.

Assessing the role of Service Quality on Customer Satisfaction using SERVQUAL: The Case of MOENCO Vehicle Maintenance and Repair in Addis Ababa Branch
Creators: name: Abey, Assefa
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: To be successful, organizations must look into the needs and wants of their customers. Customer satisfaction is important because many researches have shown that customer satisfaction has a positive effect on an organization's profitability and leads to a competitive advantage. In the service sector it is not only what the customers get, but what they experience that is more important. The main objective of this study is to assess the role of service quality on customers' satisfaction for the case of MOENCO vehicle repair and maintenance services at Addis Ababa Branch. Data was collected from 372 service customers through questionnaire from the different customer segments at the location. The limitations are that it was done at a particular point in time and needs to be done at regular intervals to develop trends. The techniques of analysis used in this study are descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and paired t test for validity and Cronbach's test for reliability. SERVQUAL's 5 service determinants were used and customers expectation versus actual were measured for each of the determinants. Results indicate that customers were satisfied with the empathy, responsiveness and reliability dimensions, while they were dissatisfied with the tangibility and assurance dimensions. The ranking they gave with regards to importance is 1st-Tangibilty, 2nd Assurance 3rdReliabilty, 4th Responsiveness and 5th Empathy. By working to close the gaps where the perceptions were below the expectations in the different service quality dimensions MOENCO can improve its customer satisfaction.

description: An affine iterated function system is a finite collection of affine invertible contractions and the invariant set associated to the mappings is called self-affine. In 1988, Falconer proved that, for given matrices, the Hausdorff dimension of the self-affine set is the affinity dimension for Lebesgue almost every translation vectors. Similar statement was proven by Jordan, Pollicott, and Simon in 2007 for the dimension of self-affine measures. In this article, we have an orthogonal approach. We introduce a class of self-affine systems in which, given translation vectors, we get the same results for Lebesgue almost all matrices. The proofs rely on Ledrappier-Young theory that was recently verified for affine iterated function systems by Bárány and Käenmäki, and a new transversality condition, and in particular they do not depend on properties of the Furstenberg measure. This allows our results to hold for self-affine sets and measures in any Euclidean space.

Assessment of Enterprise Risk Management Practices in the Ethiopian Insurance Sector
Creators: name: Bisrat, Gugsa
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: In a world full of uncertainties insurers around the globe are using risk management practice as a competitive advantage to stay ahead of their market. As a sector that provides insurance service for different risk exposures, the Ethiopian insurance sector has to benefit more from enterprise wide risk management. This research is an effort to reveal the current risk management practice prevailing in the Ethiopian insurance sector. Thus, the objective of this study is to assess the enterprise wide risk management practice in the Ethiopian insurance sector by identifying the nature, structure and objectives of the practice, review the risk management process in the sector, assessing the level of knowledge and the level of risk frequency, severity perceived for each risk along with insurers risk management ability to mitigate each risk. In addition the study seeks to understand the functions, benefits and challenges encountered in the practice. The study used a descriptive method of research where both primary & secondary data were used for analysis. A sample of eight insurance companies namely Ethiopian Insurance Corporations, Africa Insurance Company S.C, Nile Insurance Company S.C, The United Insurance Company S.C , Nib Insurance Company S.C, Abay Insurance Company S.C, Berhan Insurance Company S.C and Lucy Insurance Company S.C were selected from an entire population of 17 insurance companies in the sector using a probabilistic sampling technique known as stratified random sampling. Subsequently the study used questionnaire survey method to gather primary data from entire population of top, middle level management members of selected insurers as well as randomly selected first level management members while interview method was used for gathering primary data of board members' views. In addition, secondary data such as financial statement and different National Bank publications were used to supplement the data collected from primary source. As a result it is found that the main function of risk management in the sector is compliance with standard rather than a strategic and competitive advantage. The study has identified a weakness in defining a clear risk appetite that is aligned with the organizations strategic objectives. The study also identified the lack of skill and experience specific to risk management in addition to the weakness over risk quantification phase of risk management practice of insurers. Thus, in order to make effective and efficient management decision based on risk adjusted returns the practice of risk management should be supported through continuous trainings, workshops and panel discussions that involve all staff members of insurers from different levels. Similarly risk management should be understood very well particularly by board of directors and top level managers who should implement ERM in a desired way for the desired purpose.
A dwindling minority: exploring the gendered beliefs of male english language teachers in Malaysian secondary schools
Creators: name: Kachi Mohideen, Shamsul Nizam
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The teaching profession in general and the English Language Teaching (ELT) profession in the context of Malaysia in particular do not currently offer a balanced proportion of teachers of both genders as education has been highly dominated by female teachers. This heavily feminised domain may have significant sociocultural and educational implications for both the teachers and learners of English in Malaysian schools. This dissertation investigates the gendered beliefs of 'male' English Language teachers in modern Malaysian society regarding the genderedness of the teaching profession in general and ELT in particular.The study looks at the influence of hegemonic cultural beliefs about gender using Ridgeway and Correll’s (2004) framework of gender beliefs together with Connell's (1995) hierarchies of masculinity as ways to understand how male ELT teachers perceived their own masculinity within the ELT profession. It mainly explores the phenomenon of male teachers’ perceptions of their positioning and the ways these impact on their ELT practice. Being qualitative and phenomenological in its nature, the case-study reveals that whilst the ELT profession is perceived as favouring the female gender, male teachers as the minority gender found other significant roles to play within the school context, particularly in matters relating to masculinity such as school discipline and sports training. The study also reveals that the English Language subject in itself is viewed as a gender-neutral subject focussing on aspects of language skills and communication values. Data shows that the impact of feminisation and hegemonic masculinity might be damaging to male teachers’ self-perceived status within the ELT profession, despite participants’ neutral perception of English Language as a school subject. In other words, it is evident that teachers’ gendered beliefs affect their ELT practice in terms of stereotypes being either reinforced or challenged. Eventually, the male teachers believe that they could bring change to the ELT profession by working towards idealising a more gender-inclusive curriculum, adopting and extending Connell’s notion of masculinities through the ‘permissive male’ category, a category which accommodates both the hegemonic dominant types of masculinity as well being receptive and tolerant towards the traits of motherly care and love within teaching. The contribution of the project is twofold. It elucidates many factors influencing male teachers’ gendered beliefs and shows how they impacted upon their self-perceived masculinities. It readdresses some of the dilemma of these male teachers and thus, the contribution of the study travels beyond the individual and serves the broader educational context of Malaysia.

description: We present an algorithm that computes Bowditch's canonical JSJ decomposition of a given one-ended hyperbolic group over its virtually cyclic subgroups. The algorithm works by identifying topological features in the boundary of the group. As a corollary we also show how to compute the JSJ decomposition of such a group over its virtually cyclic subgroups with infinite centre. We also give a new algorithm that determines whether or not a given one-ended hyperbolic group is virtually fuchsian. Our approach uses only the geometry of large balls in the Cayley graph and avoids Makanin's algorithm.

Optimization under Decision-Dependent Uncertainty

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The efficacy of robust optimization spans a variety of settings with uncertainties bounded in predetermined sets. In many applications, uncertainties are affected by decisions and cannot be modeled with current frameworks. This paper takes a step towards generalizing robust linear optimization to problems with decision-dependent uncertainties. In general settings, we show these problems to be NP-complete. To alleviate the computational inefficiencies, we introduce a class of uncertainty sets whose size depends on binary decisions. We propose reformulations that improve upon alternative standard linearization techniques. To illustrate the advantages of this framework, a shortest path problem is discussed, where the uncertain arc lengths are affected by decisions. Beyond the modeling and performance advantages, the proposed notion of proactive uncertainty control also mitigates over conservatism of current robust optimization approaches.

description: We study experimentally the collision between a sphere falling through a viscous fluid, and a solid plate below. It is known that there is a well-defined threshold Stokes number above which the sphere rebounds from such a collision. Our experiment tests for direct contact between the colliding bodies, and contrary to prior theoretical predictions, shows that solid-on-solid contact occurs even for Stokes numbers just above the threshold for rebounding. The dissipation is fluid-dominated, though details of the contact mechanics depend on the surface and bulk properties of the solids. Our experiments and a model calculation indicate that mechanical contact between the two colliding objects is generic and will occur for any realistic surface roughness.

Adventures in flawed time machines: feature films, teacher pedagogy and deep historical understanding
Creators: name: Donnelly, Debra Jean
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Historical feature films transport their audiences to experience another world and time, albeit temporarily. They are time machines that have become major artefacts of popular and youth culture and for a brief interlude they bestow global-scale historical significance on their filmic narratives of the past. This fleeting significance is intensified by media hype, social networking clamour, gaming versions and product merchandising. However, historical filmic narratives are often a single representation of the past with no obligation to adhere to evidentiary records. Added to this, feature films serve a commercial imperative, and coupled with the limitations of the art form, this often leads to manipulation of the narrative and the inclusion of fictionalized elements. Despite these flaws, international scholarship suggests that these frequently historically inaccurate and distorted filmic resources are being widely and regularly used as teaching resources in history classrooms. These history teachers have experienced the power of film to motivate today’s visually-orientated students, to engage them both emotionally and intellectually and to provide narrative frameworks which offer single representations of the past that may vary from more conventional sources. As well as considerations of significance and engagement, feature films can be effective primary and secondary sources for historical inquiry and providing the history teacher with unique and rich opportunities to explore issues of historical representation and understanding. These apparent tensions between student engagement and issue of historical authenticity prompted this research project. Designed in three phases, the research project explores the relationship between the use of feature films in the history classroom and its link to the creation and development of historical understanding. The first phase establishes the usage, rationales and filmic pedagogies in Australia with a focus on New South Wales. The project then adds the student voice to the discourse and an Australian perspective to international research in the field. The second and third phases of the research take a grounded theory approach to explore the mechanisms by which historical feature film captivates the viewer and the utilization of this in the quest for historical understandings in the classroom. The project reports on filmic pedagogical methodologies and the link between these and teacher disciplinary conceptual frameworks and develops guiding principles for optimizing historical understanding when using feature films in the history classroom. Graphic representations and models have been developed to conceptualize the research findings and reflections. The scholarship from this research will contribute to the fields of education, history and media studies

Spherical convective dynamos in the rapidly rotating asymptotic regime

Year: 2016

description: Self-sustained convective dynamos in planetary systems operate in an asymptotic regime of rapid rotation, where a balance is thought to hold between the Coriolis, pressure, buoyancy and Lorentz forces (the MAC balance). Classical numerical solutions have previously been obtained in a regime of moderate rotation where viscous and inertial forces are still significant. We define a unidimensional path in parameter space between classical models and asymptotic conditions from the requirements to enforce a MAC balance and to preserve the ratio between the magnetic diffusion and convective overturn times (the magnetic Reynolds number). Direct numerical simulations performed along this path show that the spatial structure of the solution at scales larger than the magnetic dissipation length is largely invariant. This enables the definition of large-eddy simulations resting on the assumption that small-scale details of the hydrodynamic turbulence are irrelevant to the determination of the large-scale asymptotic state. These simulations are shown to be in good agreement with direct simulations in the range where both are feasible, and can be computed for control parameter values far beyond the current state of the art, such as an Ekman number $E=10^{-8}$. We obtain strong-field convective dynamos approaching the MAC balance and a Taylor state to an unprecedented degree of accuracy. The physical connection between classical models and asymptotic conditions is shown to be devoid of abrupt transitions, demonstrating the asymptotic relevance of classical numerical dynamo mechanisms. The fields of the system are confirmed to follow diffusivity-free, power-based scaling laws along the path.

description: The study was designed with a general objective of assessing the impact of performance management systems' effectiveness on employees' motivation. It was conducted in Ethiopian Airlines, a government owned international carrier, based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – with more than 11,000 permanent employees. The research approach was explanatory with a quantitative design. Quantitative type of data was collected as a primary and related literature and documents as a secondary source. Closed-ended questionnaires were distributed to a stratified sample of employees from different departments. A total of 371 questionnaires were collected and processed for analysis using descriptive and inferential statistics with the help of SPSS. Mean scores and standard deviation were used to assess the level agreeableness of the respondents. Relationship of the independent and dependent variables were analyzed using the correlation and regression methods. The results were then presented in the form of tables followed by discussions for further interpretation on the findings. The major findings of the research indicated that the clarity and continuous feedback variables of the PMS to have been perceived as less effective. Whereas, the other four variables in communication, inclusiveness, rewarding performance and acceptability and fairness factors were considered to be relatively satisfactory by the employees. While the view of the employees towards the determinant factors varies, the overall perception of the employees towards the PMS was positive, as 51.8% have agreed to the questions on the system. Similarly, the employees' level of motivation has a score of 57% of the employees who felt that they are motivated. The study has found out that there was a positive but weak relationship between the independent variables (the PMS) and motivation. The study has also shown that employees at different division view the PMS differently, despite their level of motivation being unaffected. Therefore, it was concluded that, the PMS requires improvement to make it more effective. In addition, it was concluded that the impact of the PMS on the level of employees' motivation was minimal. Finally, the researcher has recommended that the company strives to improve the system to make it effective in all its aspects. In addition, it was recommended that the features of the PMS to be revised so that it becomes strong in influencing the employees' level of motivation. The researcher has also recommended that the system needed to be implemented systematically in order to be equally understood by all employees regardless of their demographic background

description: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a vascular disease characterized by the dilation of the abdominal aorta, resulting in a high mortality rate caused by vascular rupture. Previous studies have suggested that the abnormal appearance of adipocytes in the vascular wall is associated with the development of AAA. However, the mechanisms underlying the appearance of the ectopic adipocytes remain unknown. In this study, we showed that CD44+CD90+ MSCs express adipogenic transcription factors in the AAA wall of a hypoperfusion-induced AAA model. The number of CD44+CD90+ cells and adipocytes in the AAA wall significantly decreased in the perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT)-removed vascular wall. The AAA diameter significantly decreased in the PVAT-removed vascular wall compared with that in the vascular wall with PVAT. These data suggested that PVAT plays important roles in the differentiation of MSCs into adipocytes in response to vascular hypoperfusion. The decreased number of adipocytes in the PVAT-removed vascular wall might be associated with the decreased AAA diameter.

description: We propose an experimental method of recognizing quantum non-Gaussian multiphoton states. This is a native quantum property of Fock states, the fundamental quantum states with a constant number of particles. Our method allows experimental development and characterization of higher Fock states of light, reaching even beyond the current technical limits of their generation. We experimentally demonstrate that it is capable of distinguishing realistic quantum non-Gaussian light with the mean number of photons up to 5 despite detection efficiency of 50 %. We also provide evidence that our method can help to distinguish the number of single-photon emitters based only on their collective emission.

description: By using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) / spectroscopy (STS), we systematically characterize the electronic structure of lightly doped 1T-TiSe2, and demonstrate the existence of the electronic inhomogeneity and the pseudogap state. It is found that the intercalation induced lattice distortion impacts the local band structure and reduce the size of the charge density wave (CDW) gap with the persisted 2x2 spatial modulation. On the other hand, the delocalized doping electrons promote the formation of pseudogap. Domination by either of the two effects results in the separation of two characteristic regions in real space, exhibiting rather different electronic structures. Further doping electrons to the surface confirms that the pseudogap may be the precursor for the superconducting gap. This study suggests that the competition of local lattice distortion and the delocalized doping effect contribute to the complicated relationship between charge density wave and superconductivity for intercalated 1T-TiSe2.

description: In this paper we introduce quantile cross-spectral analysis of multiple time series which is designed to detect general dependence structures emerging in quantiles of the joint distribution in the frequency domain. We argue that this type of dependence is natural for economic time series but remains invisible when the traditional analysis is employed. To illustrate how such dependence structures can arise between variables in different parts of the joint distribution and across frequencies, we consider quantile vector autoregression processes. We define new estimators which capture the general dependence structure, provide a detailed analysis of their asymptotic properties and discuss how to conduct inference for a general class of possibly nonlinear processes. In an empirical illustration we examine one of the most prominent time series in economics and shed new light on the dependence of bivariate stock market returns.
