Creators: name: Ararso, Desalegn
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: In the new Millennium, the quality of TB laboratory diagnosis in both public and private health facilities was often a direct reflection of the success of TB control programmes and a key component of the DOT strategy, yet it was one of the most neglected components of these programmes. Objective: To assess the quality of TB Laboratory Diagnosis in selected public & private Health Facilities in Oromia Region. Methodology: Crossectional survey design was conducted out in 60 randomly selected public & private TB laboratories between 3rd January –12 th May 2011, in purposively selected 3 zones of Oromia Region. Sixty TB laboratory department heads were interviewed, 270 patients records were reviewed, 384 TB laboratory clients were interviewed and panel testing for 20 laboratory technicians were done.Odd ratios and logistic regression were employed to see if any association exits among the three quality parameters. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 15.0 software and findings at 95% Confidence interval and p value of 0.05 were used for statistical significance. Result: The study shows that staff training is a neglected issue in most private TB laboratories which are separated structurally from NTP, high false negative discordant rate of AFB result, weak supervision mechanism, and lack of checking the quality of sputum sample. Higher proportions of patients visited the TB laboratories were dissatisfied with lack of respect from the providers. Statistically significant association was observed between structure and process quality (OR =2.9(1.46-5.7; P=0.01) and between process and output quality parameters (OR=3.2(3.13-10; P=0.02). Conclusion and Recommendations :The quality of TB laboratory diagnosis in both public and private TB laboratories in Oromia region were poor in that laboratory technicians training was not satisfactory, high false negative discordant rate of AFB result and the pattern of supervision was weak and unplanned. So mechanisms of improving the different stages of TB laboratory diagnosis especially staff training, displaying and follow smear preparation and sticking to the National TB laboratory manual were strongly recommended.

description: Precipitation is potentially a mechanism through which the circumgalactic medium (CGM) can regulate a galaxy's star formation. Here we present idealized simulations of isolated Milky Way-like galaxies intended to examine the ability of galaxies to self-regulate their star formation, particularly via precipitation. Our simulations are the first CGM-focused idealized models to include stellar feedback due to the explicit formation of stars. We also examine the impact of rotation in the CGM. Using six simulations, we explore variations in the initial CGM $t_{\rm cool}/t_{\rm ff}$ ratio and rotation profile. Those variations affect the amount of star formation and gas accretion within the galactic disk. Our simulations are sensitive to their initial conditions, requiring us to gradually increase the efficiency of stellar feedback to avoid destroying the CGM before its gas can be accreted. Despite this gradual increase, the resulting outflows still evacuate large, hot cavities within the CGM and even beyond $r_{200}$. Some of the CGM gas avoids interacting with the cavities and is able to feed the disk along its midplane, but the cooling of feedback-heated gas far from the midplane is too slow to supply the disk with additional gas. Our simulations illustrate the importance of physical mechanisms in the outer CGM and IGM for star formation regulation in Milky Way-scale halos.

Digital twin of construction crane and realization of the physical to virtual connection
Creators: name: Yuan, Enliu
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: Digital twin is an integrated multi-physics representation of a complex physical entity. This article constructs the digital twin of the construction crane, proposes a framework for the construction of the tower crane digital twin, and realizes the connection from physical to virtual in the concept of digital twin. The main contributions are divided into three parts: development of tower crane monitoring dataset, tower crane detection and tower crane operation mode recognition. By using labellmg to annotate more than 20,000 tower crane images in 583 tower crane videos, a tower crane image recognition dataset and a tower crane operating mode dataset are established. Yolov5x algorithm is selected in the tower crane detection. Edge extraction is used to improve the quality of the raw dataset and distance-intersection-over union non-maximum suppression is used to replace the traditional non-maximum suppression part in the Yolov5x algorithm to improve the detect accuracy when some tower cranes are overlapping. The final test set detection accuracy rate is 93.85%. After comparing the LSTM and CNN algorithms, 3DResNet algorithm is selected for tower crane operational mode recognition. The raw dataset is augmented by rotating the image by ±10° and ±20°, and the augmented dataset enlarges five times. Using these methods, the final recognition accuracy of tower crane operation mode reaches 87%. These models can be installed on the cctv to monitor the running status of the tower crane in real time and transfer relevant information to the virtual model. The tower crane in the virtual space completes the action of the physical tower crane, thereby realizing the physical-to-virtual mapping in the digital twin.

sorted semen in Cattle
Creators: name: Lakshmi Yadav1*
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Sex-sorted semen is sorted semen contains either X or Y chromosome bearing sperms and the use of it would produce a desired sex i.e. male or female animal. In the dairy industry, a female calf is always preferred, hence using sperm having the X chromosome in semen will help in creating the greatest number of females possible.

Many traditional methods of sorting sperm have been employed frequently, such as swim-up, density gradient centrifugation, detection of the H-Y antigen, and free flow electrophoresis. A recently developed technique called flow cytometry increases the potential of commercial sperm sorting. But when sperm are sorted using flow cytometry, they go through a pressure-filled nozzle, DNA is dyed, they pass through an ultraviolet laser beam, they undergo electrostatic separation, centrifugation, and other processes that alter their membranes and cause additional changes like pre-capacitation in the sorted sperm, which lowers fertility. Despite these drawbacks, the commercial generation of sexed semen—typically succeeded by cryopreservation—is utilised in the cattle industry.

description: Interstellar bubbles are structures in the interstellar medium with diameters of a few to tens of parsecs. Their progenitors are stellar winds, intense radiation of massive stars, or supernova explosions. Star formation and young stellar objects are commonly associated with these structures. We compare IR observations of bubbles N115, N116 and N117 with atomic, molecular and ionized gas in this region. While determining the dynamical properties of the bubbles, we also look into their ambient environment to understand their formation in a wider context. For finding bubbles in HI (VLA Galactic Plane Survey) and CO data (Galactic Ring Survey), we used their images from Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey. We manually constructed masks based on the appearance of the bubbles in the IR images and applied it to the HI and CO data. We determined their kinematic distance, size, expansion velocity, mass, original density of the maternal cloud, age and energy input. We identified two systems of bubbles: the first, background system, is formed by large structures G053.9+0.2 and SNR G054.4-0.3 and the infrared bubble N116+117. The second, foreground system, includes the infrared bubble N115 and two large HI bubbles, which we discovered in the HI data. Both systems are independent, lying at different distances, but look similar. They are both formed by two large colliding bubbles with radii around 20-30 pc and ages of a few million years. A younger and smaller (~4 pc, less than a million years) infrared bubble lies at the position of the collision. We found that both infrared bubbles N115 and N116+117 are associated with the collisions of larger and older bubbles. We propose, that such collisions increase the probability of further star formation, probably by squeezing the interstellar material, suggesting that it is an important mechanism for star formation.

title: COVID-19 as catalyst for sex worker counter narratives
Creators: name: Austin, Heather L
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Harmful master narratives of sex work rooted in historical stigma, marginalization, and violence tangibly affect how sex workers have been navigating the COVID-19 crisis. Narratives that paint sex workers as inherent victims have manifested in generalizations and legislation that make it exceptionally difficult for them to access social assistance and the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) (Canada, 2021). Additionally, discourses that portray sex workers as vectors of disease and moral malaise make it easier to justify repressive policing practices and scapegoating. This thesis examines the self-produced social media discourse of Canadian sex workers, advocates, and allies that counter harmful narratives of sex work through the COVID-19 crisis. It examines how social media was leveraged to manage identity and reshape meanings though the lenses of social constructionist, feminist, queer, social movement, and media theory to illuminate how a marginalized group used the political opportunity of the pandemic to counter harmful narratives that so often culminate in oppression and violence.

description: Quantum magnets on kagome lattice geometries in two and three spatial dimensions are archetypal examples of spin systems in which geometric frustration inhibits conventional magnetic ordering and instead benefits the emergence of long-range entangled spin liquids at low temperature. Here we employ a recently developed pseudo-fermion functional renormalization group (pf-FRG) approach to study the low-temperature quantum magnetism of kagome and hyperkagome spin systems with exchange interactions beyond the nearest neighbor coupling. We find that next-nearest neighbor couplings stabilize a variety of magnetic orders as well as induce additional spin liquid regimes giving rise to rather rich phase diagrams, which we characterize in detail. On a technical level, we find that the pf-FRG approach is in excellent quantitative agreement with high-temperature series expansions over their range of validity and it exhibits a systematic finite-size convergence in the temperature regime below. We discuss notable advantages and some current limitations of the pf-FRG approach in the ongoing search for unconventional forms of quantum magnetism.

description: We present kinematics of 6 local extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs) with low metallicities ($0.016-0.098\ Z_{\odot}$) and low stellar masses ($10^{4.7}-10^{7.6} M_{\odot}$). Taking deep medium-high resolution ($R\sim7500$) integral-field spectra with 8.2-m Subaru, we resolve the small inner velocity gradients and dispersions of the EMPGs with H$α$ emission. Carefully masking out sub-structures originated by inflow and/or outflow, we fit 3-dimensional disk models to the observed H$α$ flux, velocity, and velocity-dispersion maps. All the EMPGs show rotational velocities ($v_{\rm rot}$) of 5--23 km s$^{-1}$ smaller than the velocity dispersions ($σ_{0}$) of 17--31 km s$^{-1}$, indicating dispersion-dominated ($v_{\rm rot}/σ_{0}=0.29-0.80<1$) systems affected by inflow and/or outflow. Except for two EMPGs with large uncertainties, we find that the EMPGs have very large gas-mass fractions of $f_{\rm gas}\simeq 0.9-1.0$. Comparing our results with other H$α$ kinematics studies, we find that $v_{\rm rot}/σ_{0}$ decreases and $f_{\rm gas}$ increases with decreasing metallicity, decreasing stellar mass, and increasing specific star-formation rate. We also find that simulated high-$z$ ($z\sim 7$) forming galaxies have gas fractions and dynamics similar to the observed EMPGs. Our EMPG observations and the simulations suggest that primordial galaxies are gas-rich dispersion-dominated systems, which would be identified by the forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations at $z\sim 7$.

In neural differenzierten iPSZs wurden Störungen im Transport von Mitochondrien und Lysosomen nachgewiesen. Darüber hinaus war sowohl der Abbau von Mitochondrien mittels Mitophagie als auch von anderem Material mittels Autophagie reduziert, was auf Probleme in der Induktion der Prozesse zurückzuführen war. Eine verbesserte Erkennung von zu degradierendem Material könnte also eine neue vielversprechende Interventionsmöglichkeiten bieten, um die Pathophysiologie von NP-C positiv zu beeinflussen.

description: There have been substantial recent efforts, both experimentally and theoretically, to find a material realization of the Kitaev spin-liquid--the ground state of the exactly solvable Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice. Candidate materials are now plentiful, but the presence of non-Kitaev terms makes comparison between theory and experiment challenging. We rederive time-dependent Majorana mean-field theory and extend it to include quantum phase information, allowing the direct computation of the experimentally relevant dynamical spin-spin correlator, which reproduces exact results for the unperturbed model. In contrast to previous work, we find that small perturbations do not substantially alter the exact result, implying that $α$-RuCl${}_3$ is perhaps farther from the Kitaev phase than originally thought. Our approach generalizes to any correlator and to any model where Majorana mean-field theory is a valid starting point.

description: Sulfur(VI) fluorides (SFs) have emerged as valuable electrophiles for the design of "beyond-cysteine" covalent inhibitors and offer potential for expansion of the liganded proteome. Since SFs target a broad range of nucleophilic amino acids, they deliver an approach for the covalent modification of proteins without requirement for a proximal cysteine residue. Further to this, libraries of reactive fragments present an innovative approach for the discovery of ligands and tools for proteins of interest by leveraging a breadth of mass spectrometry analytical approaches. Herein, we report a screening approach that exploits the unique properties of SFs for this purpose. Libraries of SF-containing reactive fragments were synthesized, and a direct-to-biology workflow was taken to efficiently identify hit compounds for CAII and BCL6. The most promising hits were further characterized to establish the site(s) of covalent modification, modification kinetics, and target engagement in cells. Crystallography was used to gain a detailed molecular understanding of how these reactive fragments bind to their target. It is anticipated that this screening protocol can be used for the accelerated discovery of "beyond-cysteine" covalent inhibitors.

description: We introduce an inhomogeneous model of free fermions on a $(D-1)$-dimensional lattice with $D(D-1)/2$ continuous parameters that control the hopping strength between adjacent sites. We solve this model exactly, and find that the eigenfunctions are given by multidimensional generalizations of Krawtchouk polynomials. We construct a Heun operator that commutes with the chopped correlation matrix, and compute the entanglement entropy numerically for $D=2,3,4$, for a wide range of parameters. For $D=2$, we observe oscillations in the sub-leading contribution to the entanglement entropy, for which we conjecture an exact expression. For $D>2$, we find logarithmic violations of the area law for the entanglement entropy with nontrivial dependence on the parameters.

description: Topological Lifshitz phase transition characterizes an abrupt change of the topology of the Fermi surface through a continuous deformation of parameters. Recently, Lifshitz transition has been predicted to separate two types of Weyl points: type-I and type-II (or called structured Weyl points), which has attracted considerable attention in various fields. Although recent experimental investigation has seen a rapid progress on type-II Weyl points, it still remains a significant challenge to observe their characteristic Lifshitz transition. Here, we propose a scheme to realize both type-I and type-II Weyl points in three-dimensional ultracold atomic gases by introducing an experimentally feasible configuration based on current spin-orbit coupling technology. In the resultant Hamiltonian, we find three degenerate points: two Weyl points carrying a Chern number $-1$ and a four-fold degenerate point carrying a Chern number $2$. Remarkably, by continuous tuning of a convenient experimental knob, all these degenerate points can transition from type-I to type-II, thereby providing an ideal platform to study different types of Weyl points and directly probe their Lifshitz phase transition.

Creators: name: Kuijlaars, Margaux
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: Chronic diarrhoea (persistent or intermittent diarrhoea for a minimum of three weeks) is a common clinical presentation in dogs. Chronic diarrhoea also frequently affects people. Increased total faecal bile acids (tFBA) and/or alterations in the composition of faecal bile acid profiles (i.e. bile acid dysmetabolism) resulting in bile acid associated diarrhoea (BAD) is seen in a percentage of people presenting with chronic diarrhoea of various inflammatory and non-inflammatory etiologies and represents a therapeutic target. Although the presence of BAD in a cohort of humans with chronic diarrhoea is undisputed, the presence and contribution of increased tFBA and/or altered FBA profiles in the clinical presentation of dogs with chronic diarrhoea has not yet been elaborately evaluated. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate tFBA, and FBA profiles in dogs diagnosed with a chronic enteropathy (CE) in comparison with hospital controls (HC) to further explore whether increased tFBA and/or BA dysmetabolism is present in a cohort of canine CE cases. To determine tFBA and FBA profiles high power liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed on FBA extracts. The second aim of this study was to assess if fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF-19) a serological marker used to aid in diagnosing BAD in people, could be utilized for that same purpose in dogs. For this part of the study commercially available FGF-19 enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were used. In this thesis I have shown that a subset of dogs with CE have BA profiles similar to those of people diagnosed with BAD (>10% primary BA and/or increased total BA). Findings suggest that BAD may be present in some dogs with CE and this could represent a therapeutic target.

This work is focused on a ~720-arcmin^2 region centred on the Solar-metallicity and Solar-age open cluster M 67. We extracted light curves for all detectable sources in the Kepler channels 13 and 14, adopting our technique based on the usage of a high-angular-resolution input catalogue and target-neighbour subtraction. We detrended light curves for systematic errors, and searched for variables and exoplanets using several tools. We found 451 variables, of which 299 are new detection. Three planetary candidates were detected by our pipeline in this field. Raw and detrended light curves, catalogues, and K2 stacked images used in this work will be released to the community.

description: Introduction: Health Extension program is designed and implemented in recognition of the fact that the major factor underlying the poor health status of the country's population is the lack of empowerment of households and communities to promote health and prevent disease. Although the government is trying to solve urban health problems through UHEP, still there are challenges and/or problems in waste management, access to sanitary facilities, safe and adequate water supply causing about 60-80 % of health problems. Objective: To assess the implementation status of urban health extension program of hygiene and environmental health packages in Addis Ketema Sub City, Addis Ababa. Methods: Community based cross-sectional study design using quantitative and qualitative methods was conducted from September, 2016 to June, 2017 in Addis Ketema Sub City, Addis Ababa. For quantitative data a total of 765 households was selected using multi stage sampling procedure and qualitative data obtained through key informant interview of purposively selected participants. The quantitative data entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 and qualitative data analyzed by thematic method manually. Results: The overall level of implementation of hygiene and environmental health packages are 34.7 %. Age group with 36-45,46-55 and above 55 years old respondents were 99.7%,99% and 97% less likely implement [AOR=0.003,95%CI=0.001-0.057],[AOR=0.01,95%CI=0.00-0.041], [AOR=0.01,95%CI=0.009-0.15] compared to the age group 26-35 years. Female household respondents 7.3 times more likely to implement the hygiene and environmental health packages than the male respondents [AOR=7.3, 95%CI=3.211-6.157]. Monthly income between 501-1000 Eth Birr have 6.8 times more likely to implement than households income less than 501 Eth birr [AOR=6.80,95%CI=2.35-10.31]. Conclusion and recommendation: the level of implementation was low. There were variations in the level of implementation among the packages. Community resistance for the program, Governmental constraint and very poor supportive supervision are the main reasons for low implementation status of environmental health packages. Community ownership and involvement, continues supportive supervision and further study is important for better implementation.

description: Las Empresas Sociales del Estado -ESE- son las instituciones públicas encargadas de prestar servicios de salud. Surgen con la Ley 100/93, que creó el Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud -SGSSS-. Sustituyeron al establecimiento público como forma jurídica bajo la cual operaban los hospitales del Estado en el marco del Sistema Nacional de Salud, creado por los Decretos 654/74 y 056/75, y reorganizado por la Ley 10/90. La nueva estructura se concibió para contar con un ente especializado en prestar servicios de salud en el mercado regulado por el SGSSS, que implicó nuevos tipos de relaciones entre usuario, asegurador (EPS) y prestador (IPS), al exigir eficiencia y competitividad en la prestación del servicio. Las ESE debían ser rentables financieramente, pero con un alto contenido social, en tanto instrumento del Estado para garantizar la salud en su doble dimensión: como derecho y como servicio. Desafortunadamente, la sugestiva denominación del nuevo organismo no vino acompañada de un régimen jurídico que respondiera al contexto competitivo en que desarrollaría su actividad, por lo que es preciso adecuarlo para que, con la correcta interacción entre instituciones de derecho público y privado, las ESE se adapten mejor a su marco operativo y regulatorio.
description: The State Social Enterprises (ESE) are the public institutions in charge of providing health services. They emerged with Law 100/93, which created the General Social Health Security System (SGSSS). They replaced the Public Establishment as the legal form under which State hospitals operated within the framework of the National Health System, created by Decrees 654/74 and 056/75, and reorganized by Law 10/90. The new structure was conceived to have an entity specialized in providing health services in the market regulated by the SGSSS, which implied new types of relationships between user, insurer (EPS), and provider (IPS), by requiring efficiency and competitiveness in the service provision. The ESEs had to be financially profitable, but with a high social content, as an instrument of the State to guarantee health in its double dimension: as a right and as a service. Unfortunately, the suggestive name of the new organization was not accompanied by a legal regime that responded to the competitive context in which it would carry out its activity, so it is necessary to adapt it so that, with the correct interaction between public and private law institutions, the ESEs best adapt to their operational and regulatory framework.

description: Quantum systems of indistinguishable particles are commonly described using the formalism of second quantisation, which relies on the assumption that any admissible quantum state must be either symmetric or anti-symmetric under particle permutations. Coherence-induced many-body effects such as superradiance, however, can arise even in systems whose constituents are not fundamentally indistinguishable as long as all relevant dynamical observables are permutation-invariant. Such systems are not confined to symmetric or anti-symmetric states and therefore require a different theoretical approach. Focusing on non-interacting systems, here we combine tools from representation theory and thermodynamically consistent master equations to develop such a framework. We characterise the structure and properties of the steady states emerging in permutation-invariant ensembles of arbitrary multi-level systems that are collectively weakly coupled to a thermal environment. As an application of our general theory, we further explore how these states can in principle be used to enhance the performance of quantum thermal machines. Our group-theoretical framework thereby makes it possible to analyse various limiting cases that would not be accessible otherwise. In addition, it allows us to show that the properties of multi-level ensembles differ qualitatively from those of spin ensembles, which have been investigated earlier using the standard Clebsch-Gordan theory. Our results have a large scope for future generalisations and pave the way for systematic investigations of collective effects arising from permutation-invariance in quantum thermodynamics.

description: Se busca realizar un análisis crítico de la jurisprudencia de la Sala de Casación de la Corte Suprema de Justicia relacionada con la interpretación del art. 448 de la Ley 906 de 2004. Según esta interpretación, la petición de absolución presentada por la fiscalía en los alegatos de conclusión no es vinculante para el juez de conocimiento. Esto significa que el juez puede dictar condena incluso cuando se solicita la absolución. Se examinará la corrección de esta postura, considerando el rol constitucional de la fiscalía como titular de la acción penal y garante de los derechos de las víctimas, así como las facultades de intervención de estas últimas durante el juicio oral de carácter adversarial. También se evaluará el papel del juez de conocimiento colombiano como director de esta fase procesal y los efectos negativos que podría acarrear para el ejercicio del derecho de defensa el aceptar sin cuestionamientos lo establecido por el máximo Tribunal de la Jurisdicción Ordinaria.
description: The aim is to conduct a critical analysis of the jurisprudence of the Sala de Casación of the Supreme Court of Justice related to the interpretation of Article 448 of Law 906 of 2004. According to this interpretation, the prosecution's request for acquittal presented in the closing arguments is not binding for the presiding judge. This implies that the judge can issue a conviction even when acquittal is requested. The correctness of this stance will be examined, taking into account the constitutional role of the prosecution as the holder of the criminal action and protector of the rights of the victims, as well as the intervention powers of the latter during the adversarial oral trial. The role of the Colombian presiding judge as the overseer of this procedural phase will also be evaluated, along with the potentially adverse effects that unquestioningly accepting the rulings of the highest court in the Ordinary Jurisdiction could have on the exercise of the right to defense.

description: The Quantum Inverse Scattering Method is a scheme for solving integrable models in $1+1$ dimensions, building on an $R$-matrix that satisfies the Yang--Baxter equation and in terms of which one constructs a commuting family of transfer matrices. In the standard formulation, this $R$-matrix acts on a tensor product of vector spaces. Here, we relax this tensorial property and develop a framework for describing and analysing integrable models based on planar algebras, allowing non-separable \textit{$R$-operators} satisfying \textit{generalised} Yang--Baxter equations. We also re-evaluate the notion of integrals of motion and characterise when an (algebraic) \textit{transfer operator} is polynomial in a single integral of motion. We refer to such models as {\em polynomially integrable}. In an eight-vertex model, we demonstrate that the corresponding transfer operator is polynomial in the natural hamiltonian. In the Temperley--Lieb loop model with loop fugacity $β\in\mathbb{C}$, we likewise find that, for all but finitely many $β$-values, the transfer operator is polynomial in the usual hamiltonian element of the Temperley--Lieb algebra $\mathrm{TL}_n(β)$, at least for $n\leq17$. Moreover, we find that this model admits a second canonical hamiltonian, and that this hamiltonian also acts as a polynomial integrability generator for small $n$ and all but finitely many $β$-values.

description: Back ground: Health systems cannot function effectively without motivated and supportive health care providers. The level of health care providers' motivation has been identified as a central in the quality of health service delivery. In Ethiopia, it is customary hearing about complaints about the manner service provided especially about its low the quality in general and Public Health Centers (PHC) in particular. With this assumption, this research is carried out in order to assess the level of health workers motivation and associated factors with it. Objectives To describe factors affecting motivation of health care providers working in public Health Centers ,in Addis Ababa. Methods Institution based cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from February to April 2015among a sample of 384 health care providers selected from 12randomly selected PHCs in Addis Ababa. The sample size was distributed to each PHC proportional to their total number of Health care providers. Then, the study subjects were selected by using simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using self-administered structured and Data was cleaned and analyzed the intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors using with SPSS software version 20. A summary measure was made to characterize the study population. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify those factors which had significant correlation and to determine those factors affecting motivation. Result: Three hundred eighty four participants completed and responded to the questionnaires making a response rate of hundred percent of these, majority 214(55.7%) were female, 245(63%) were between 21 and 30 years of age, and 230(59.9%) were nurse by profession. Overall, more than the half the respondents 240 (62.5%) agreed and strongly agreed that there were feel motivated to work hard. In multivariateanalysis,healthcareprovidermotivationwassignificantlyandpositivelycorrelatedwithsupervisio n(r=.443,p<0.01),Recognition(r=.386,p<0.01),Management(r=365,p<0.01).Generally,correlationscoeffic ientbetweensupervisionand motivation (0.44) is strong among the entire variables and significant at 99% where as work environment has weakest correlation (.149, p<0.01) (0.14) among all variables but significant at 99%. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that, more than the half the respondents were feels motivated to work hard and the main motivating factors of health care providers'were supervision, recognition and good management. Therefore, it is importance strengthening intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors to motivate health care providers at health center level for improving health service quality.
