Characterization of Taxable Units and Tax Bases under Schedule ‘C’ of the Federal Income Tax Proclamation of Ethiopia: A Commentary
Creators: name: Chane, Gizachew Silesh

Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Schedule ‘C’ is the third income tax schedule incorporated under the Federal Income Tax Proclamation of Ethiopia. The Schedule deals with business income taxation. Though the Schedule is entangled with several concerns, this work is restricted to issues related to the characterization of its taxable units and tax bases. As a commentary, it intends to serve as a guidance to understand the taxable units and tax bases of the Schedule. To accomplish this, the work used desktop research method and analyzed the relevant legislation, literature and cassation decisions. In examining how taxable units and tax bases are characterized under Schedule ‘C’, the work considers the areas of developments made by the current income tax regime such as the incorporation of provisions with clear income sources subject to the Schedule. Most importantly, the work tries to identify gaps (with potential administrative difficulties) that need consideration such as characterization tensions with other income tax schedule of the Proclamation and provisions that lack clarity. It also questioned the appropriateness of the inclusion of some entities (notably partnerships) as taxable units of the Schedule and it provides arguments to seek the attention of the concerned organs regarding the issues involved. Issuance of supplementary directives and advance rulings, the need to take relevant lessons from the experience of other jurisdictions and reconsidering some of the existing characterization are among the solutions the work recommends.

Phonon-assisted radiofrequency absorption by gold nanoparticles resulting in hyperthermia
Creators: name: Postnikov, Andrei

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Medical Physics (physics.med-ph)
subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is suggested that in gold nanoparticles (GNPs) of about 5 nm sizes used in the radiofrequency (RF) hyperthermia, an absorption of the RF photon by the Fermi electron occurs with involvement of the longitudinal acoustic vibrational mode (LAVM), the dominating one in the distribution of vibrational density of states (VDOS). This physical mechanism helps to explain two observed phenomena: the size dependence of the heating rate (HR) in GNPs and reduced heat production in aggregated GNPs. The argumentation proceeds within the one-electron approximation, taking into account the discretenesses of energies and momenta of both electrons and LAVMs. The heating of GNPs is thought to consist of two consecutive processes: first, the Fermi electron absorbs simultaneously the RF photon and the LAVM available in the GNP; hereafter the excited electron gets relaxed within the GNP's boundary, exciting a LAVM with the energy higher than that of the previously absorbed LAVM. GNPs containing the Ta and/or Fe impurities are proposed for the RF hyperthermia as promising heaters with enhanced HRs, and GNPs with rare-earth impurity atoms are also brought into consideration. It is shown why the maximum HR values should be expected in GNPs with about 5-7 nm size.

description: Modeling a temporal process as if it is Markovian assumes the present encodes all of the process's history. When this occurs, the present captures all of the dependency between past and future. We recently showed that if one randomly samples in the space of structured processes, this is almost never the case. So, how does the Markov failure come about? That is, how do individual measurements fail to encode the past? And, how many are needed to capture dependencies between the past and future? Here, we investigate how much information can be shared between the past and future, but not be reflected in the present. We quantify this elusive information, give explicit calculational methods, and draw out the consequences. The most important of which is that when the present hides past-future dependency we must move beyond sequence-based statistics and build state-based models.

Improving teaching practice through education, mind, and selected brain research
Creators: name: Conyers, Marcus
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: Around the world, there is an unprecedented opportunity for improving educational outcomes by aligning the practice of teaching with the emerging science of learning. However, a research-to-practice gap persists, and many students, particularly low-income and minority children and youth, are failing to reach their academic potential. The texts submitted with this document (Conyers & Wilson, 2015a, 2016; Wilson & Conyers, 2013b, 2013c) were written as a means of bridging this gap by applying two original frameworks developed through transdisciplinary, practice-based research over 15 years. The first translates implications of education, mind, and selected brain research on how people learn into a conceptual framework and strategies for enhancing teaching and learning. The second focuses on a process for supporting changes in teaching practice and aligns with research and theory from implementation science. These frameworks have been incorporated into professional development programmes for some 100,000 educators and 2,500 teachers from 47 U.S. states, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia through one of the first two graduate degrees in this field. Studies suggest a positive impact on teaching practice and student learning. The four texts extend the impact of this body of work to a broader audience of teachers, researchers, faculty, and other educational stakeholders and uniquely incorporate research, theory, and examples of practical strategies being applied in real-world settings.

description: Practices on contract administration in Ethiopian road sector consulting firms’ are
 assessed by taking into consideration the three key variables that are, planning,
 monitoring & inspection of project deliverables. On the understanding of the
 research objective; challenges in terms of contract administration are discovered
 from distributed questionnaires to the selected consultants, contractors, employers,
 and stakeholders. In addition, review of available literature and comparison was
 made between the Ethiopian practice and international standard. A descriptive
 research design has been employed where both qualitative and quantitative research
 approaches were used in the study. A Purposive sampling technique has applied on
 all members of the contract administration and construction supervision department.
 Findings indicated that the causes for poor contract administration are attributed to
 poor supplier selection, lack of key project stakeholder involvement, and poor
 contract execution. Accordingly, the research recommended on the careful selection
 of consultants and contractors, on project situation and status involvement of
 stakeholders by bringing iconic people who originated or who use the appropriate
 practices together, on the execution of projects with professional and international
 standard, and also in realizing the greatest impacts of contract administration in
 road sector construction in safeguarding countries economic and social adversity.

Family communication plays a crucial role in adolescent mental health, but its effects may vary across cultural contexts. This study examined the relationship between Family Communication Patterns (FES), adolescent emotional well-being (PA/NA), and depressive symptoms (PHQ-8) in Chinese (N = 15) and American (N = 15) adolescents using a questionnaire survey. Contrary to the hypothesis, no significant correlations were found between FES scores and either emotional states or depressive symptoms in either cultural group. In the American sample, a trend-level positive correlation between FES and PHQ-8 suggested that certain family dynamics (e.g., conflict, overcontrol) may exacerbate depressive symptoms, but this effect was not statistically significant. Similarly, between-group comparisons revealed no significant differences in FES, PA/NA, or PHQ-8 scores across cultures. These findings challenge the assumption that family communication patterns universally moderate or exacerbate adolescent mental health outcomes. Cultural factors, such as collectivist family values in China and pressure for economic independence in the United States, may moderate the relationship between family communication and mental health. Future studies should employ culturally sensitive measurement tools, longitudinal designs, and clinical samples to further investigate the role of family dynamics in adolescent mental health and avoid sample limitations.

description: This book review  assesses and  evaluates  of the book that narrates the inherent contradiction between stabilization clauses and the regulatory power of the host states and attempts to reconcile the conflict using the principle of sustainable development .1The book is of typical significance for students, academics, practitioners of law and policy makers engaged in the field of international investment arbitration. The book explores the rationale why stabilization clause emerged in international investment contracts, why multinational companies prefer them and why host states adhered to insert them. It then analyzes how stabilization clauses began to defeat the regulatory rights of the host states and how their right to regulate in the public interest particularly in the areas of environmental protection and human rights are at stake. The book then suggests the reconceptualization of sustainable clauses and application of the “Principle of constructive Sustainable Development”, whose international legal status is controversial and whose meaning is yet to be clear, as a reconciliatory concept to mitigate the effects of stabilization clause on the regulatory space of the host states and to iron out the stabilization/ regulation controversy.

description: Gyronema nacre/ormis n.sp. PI. 10 figs 6-10 Description. Shell small, moderately high-spired turbiniform, narrowly phaneromphalous. Protoconch simple, seemingly smooth, with a sharp boundary between protoconch and teleoconch. Teleoconch consisting of 2 layers with nacreous lining on inner surface with whorl profile moderately arched, suture moderately deep, first 11,4 whorls smooth with growth lines very faint remainder of teleoconch with spiral lirae, 15 in the final whorl, growth lines obscure. Aperture suboval, with finer lip thin, straight to slightly arcuate, reflexed, anterior end somewhat extended; outer lip thin with a shallow sinus. Types. Holotype (F78425), 1 figured paratype (F78426) and 9 unfigured paratypes (F78427). Type locality. 150 m west of 'Marohn' homestead, on the Scone-Gundy roadside, 4 km south-west of Gundy, NSW (Locality 28). Stratigraphic position. In bioclastic limestone, upper part of the Dangarfield Formation. Additional material. 10 specimens from Swains Gully (Locality 25). Geographic distribution. Swains Gully to 'Marohn'. Geological age. Middle to late Tournaisian. Etymology. Referring to the nacreous internal surface layer of the shell. Remarks. Gyronema nacre /ormis n.sp. is characterised by having a double layered shell with nacreous inner lining, which is commonly seen in Recent species of Trochidae. The shell surface is generally buff in color, but the original nacre is observed on the inner surface of a number of specimens. Gyronema nacre /ormis differs from the type species, Gyronema subsinuata (Meek & Worthen), in lacking parietal inductura. The tall, smooth protoconch and absence of selenizone preclude this form from the pleurotomarioidean gastropods.

Description of Women Seeking Second Trimester Postabortion Care in Malawi
Creators: name: Paul, Mary
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Abstract: Objectives: To examine the socio-demographic factors, medical complications, and treatment of second trimester postabortion care (PAC) clients in Malawi. Methods: Data on women seeking PAC was collected over 30 days from 166 facilities in Malawi in 2009. Results: Over 32% of all women coming for PAC in Malawi were already into their second trimester of gestation. These women were more likely to have severe complications than women in their first trimester. The significant demographic predictors for second trimester abortions were low educational attainment and living in a rural location, even though the majority of the postabortion procedures for second trimester cases were performed at tertiary facilities in urban areas. Conclusions: Improved access to safe abortion , especially in rural Malawi could do a great deal to bring down the number of women who delay accessing PAC until well into their pregnancies.
Saturn's aurora observed by the Cassini camera at visible wavelengths

description: The first observations of Saturn's visible-wavelength aurora were made by the Cassini camera. The aurora was observed between 2006 and 2013 in the northern and southern hemispheres. The color of the aurora changes from pink at a few hundred km above the horizon to purple at 1000-1500 km above the horizon. The spectrum observed in 9 filters spanning wavelengths from 250 nm to 1000 nm has a prominent H-alpha line and roughly agrees with laboratory simulated auroras. Auroras in both hemispheres vary dramatically with longitude. Auroras form bright arcs between 70 and 80 degree latitude north and between 65 and 80 degree latitude south, which sometimes spiral around the pole, and sometimes form double arcs. A large 10,000-km-scale longitudinal brightness structure persists for more than 100 hours. This structure rotates approximately together with Saturn. On top of the large steady structure, the auroras brighten suddenly on the timescales of a few minutes. These brightenings repeat with a period of about 1 hour. Smaller, 1000-km-scale structures may move faster or lag behind Saturn's rotation on timescales of tens of minutes. The persistence of nearly-corotating large bright longitudinal structure in the auroral oval seen in two movies spanning 8 and 11 rotations gives an estimate on the period of 10.65 $\pm$0.15 h for 2009 in the northern oval and 10.8$\pm$ 0.1 h for 2012 in the southern oval. The 2009 north aurora period is close to the north branch of Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR) detected at that time.

The Evolving Policy Framework and Historical Trends in Female Circumcision Provider by Circumcision Year, Region, and Wealth: Secondary Data Analysis of the 2008 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey
Creators: name: Brugh, Kristen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Objectives: Egyptian national policies have historically focused on the ‘medicalization’ of female circumcision (FC). This study aimed to determine if circumcision year, region, and wealth were associated with differential FC provider utilization patterns. Methods: Data were from the 2008 EDHS Ever-Married Women Questionnaire (N=13,650). The outcome variable was the provider who performed the circumcision, and key independent variables were circumcision year, region, and wealth. Results: Regression results indicate that women in rural Upper Egypt and in the poorest wealth quintile are the most likely to be circumcised by a daya, while women in urban areas and the richest wealth quintile are the most likely to be circumcised by a professional provider; utilization of professional providers increased over time. Conclusions: Urban residence, higher wealth, and more recent circumcision year are associated with increased odds of circumcision by a professional provider.
QCD corrections to $B \to π$ form factors from light-cone sum rules

description: We compute perturbative corrections to $B \to π$ form factors from QCD light-cone sum rules with $B$-meson distribution amplitudes. Applying the method of regions we demonstrate factorization of the vacuum-to-$B$-meson correlation function defined with an interpolating current for pion, at one-loop level, explicitly in the heavy quark limit. The short-distance functions in the factorization formulae of the correlation function involves both hard and hard-collinear scales; and these functions can be further factorized into hard coefficients by integrating out the hard fluctuations and jet functions encoding the hard-collinear information. Resummation of large logarithms in the short-distance functions is then achieved via the standard renormalization-group approach. We further show that structures of the factorization formulae for $f_{B π}^{+}(q^2)$ and $f_{B π}^{0}(q^2)$ at large hadronic recoil from QCD light-cone sum rules match that derived in QCD factorization. In particular, we perform an exploratory phenomenological analysis of $B \to π$ form factors, paying attention to various sources of perturbative and systematic uncertainties, and extract $|V_{ub}|= \left(3.05^{+0.54}_{-0.38} |_{\rm th.} \pm 0.09 |_{\rm exp.}\right) \times 10^{-3}$ with the inverse moment of the $B$-meson distribution amplitude $ϕ_B^{+}(ω)$ determined by reproducing $f_{B π}^{+}(q^2=0)$ obtained from the light-cone sum rules with $π$ distribution amplitudes. Furthermore, we present the invariant-mass distributions of the lepton pair for $B \to π\ell ν_{\ell}$ ($\ell= μ\,, τ$) in the whole kinematic region. Finally, we discuss non-valence Fock state contributions to the $B \to π$ form factors $f_{B π}^{+}(q^2)$ and $f_{B π}^{0}(q^2)$ in brief.

In 2010, we replicated a 1998 study investigating health issues among Project Access (PA) patients. Over 300 patients enrolled in PA in 2009 were surveyed by telephone. Currently, as compared to 1998, fewer patients were employed (31% vs. 44.2%, p<0.05), more patients were unable to return to work (15.6% vs. 8%, p<0.05), and patients were enrolled in PA for longer (24.5 months vs. 14 months). The SF-12 Physical Health score was worse in 2010 (p<0.05). With the implementation of Health Reform, certain groups of people will still require PA services, but a significant portion will be covered by Medicaid; with this increase in people reporting poorer health status, Medicaid resources may be strained even more than anticipated and impose costs that our state may not be able to afford.

description: The Arcminute Microkelvin Imager Galactic Plane Survey (AMIGPS) provides mJy-sensitivity, arcminute-resolution interferometric images of the northern Galactic plane at $\approx$ 16 GHz. The first data release covered $76^{\circ} \lessapprox \ell \lessapprox 170^{\circ}$ between latitudes of $|b| \lessapprox 5^{\circ}$; here we present a second data release, extending the coverage to $53^{\circ} \lessapprox \ell \lessapprox 193^{\circ}$ and including high-latitude extensions to cover the Taurus and California giant molecular cloud regions, and the recently discovered large supernova remnant G159.6+7.3. The total coverage is now 1777 deg$^2$ and the catalogue contains 6509 sources. We also describe the improvements to the data processing pipeline which improves the positional and flux density accuracies of the survey.

description: A deficit of traditional teacher education, is the fragmentation of teachers' professional knowledge in single disciplines. While general measures from questionnaires are available, there is only little knowledge about student teachers' perception of the complex interplay of their study areas, i.e. their perception of coherence. The present interview study investigates student teachers' perception of coherence in mathematics teacher education. While recent studies report findings about coherence between theory and practice, we focus on coherence between mathematical content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. We firstly identify inductively fields of knowledge that student teachers consider as relevant for their future profession as mathematic teachers. By means of qualitative content analysis we confirmed this category system deductively. Secondly, we investigate existing or required coherence relations of these categories in teacher education. On the basis of these studies and further theoretical knowledge known from literature, we intend to develop a quantitative instrument to survey student teachers' perception of coherence in teaching.
Agricultural Investment Land Acquisition in Times of Emergency in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Chane, Gizachew Silesh
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: The outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis has been affecting the food and agricultural production sector. As part of responding this challenge, the Amhara region has issued a new Directive on the acquisition of land for agricultural investment. However, this measure is criticized for its incompatibility with the regular rural land and investment laws, and its inadequacy to deal with the land use rights of the local people. The purpose of this article was, thus, to examine the content of pandemic induced Directive on agricultural investment land acquisition modality in line with the regular rural land and investment laws, and impacts of the deviation made by the Directive from the regular laws on local land use rights. A doctrinal legal research method is employed to examine the stated purpose. The FDRE Constitution, rural land laws, investment laws, and other relevant legislations are used as primary data sources. A key informant interview has also been conducted with rural land investment experts working at BoLAU of the Amhara Region. Additionally, the existing body of literature in the form of policies, manuals, books, and articles in the area is scrutinized as secondary data sources. The paper argues that the Directive liberalizes existing land acquisition requirements and procedures through promoting irregularity, and recognizes easy and speedy processes of land acquisition for agricultural investment, which contributes to the trouble of local land use rights. Therefore, it is better to develop the agricultural investment land acquisition framework that keeps local land use rights in balance during emergency times. In so doing, the regional government has to provide a rule that empowers local land users and obliges investors to conduct EIA of the project to mitigate the future risk of the investment in agriculture.

description: The "Wide Area VISTA Extra-galactic Survey" (WAVES) is a 4MOST Consortium Design Reference Survey which will use the VISTA/4MOST facility to spectroscopically survey ~2million galaxies to $r_{\rm AB} < 22$ mag. WAVES consists of two interlocking galaxy surveys ("WAVES-Deep" and "WAVES-Wide"), providing the next two steps beyond the highly successful 1M galaxy Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the 250k Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey. WAVES will enable an unprecedented study of the distribution and evolution of mass, energy, and structures extending from 1-kpc dwarf galaxies in the local void to the morphologies of 200-Mpc filaments at $z\sim1$. A key aim of both surveys will be to compare comprehensive empirical observations of the spatial properties of galaxies, groups, and filaments, against state-of-the-art numerical simulations to distinguish between various Dark Matter models.

description: Weitverbreitet ist die Ansicht, dass didaktische Maßnahmen im Unterricht dazu dienen sollten, das Lernen von Schülerinnen und Schülern leichter zu machen. Eine gänzlich andere Perspektive vertreten die sogenannten wünschenswerten Erschwernisse. Unter diesem Begriff werden didaktische Maßnahmen subsumiert, die das Ziel haben, das Lernen erst einmal schwerer, langfristig aber erfolgreicher und nachhaltiger zu machen (Bjork & Bjork, 2011). Zu den wünschenswerten Erschwernissen gehören das verteilte Lernen, das Testen des eigenen Wissens, das Generieren von Wissen und das verschachtelte Lernen (Lipowsky et al., 2015), um welches es in der vorliegenden Studie geht. Die Studie ist Bestandteil des LIMIT-Projekts (Lernen Im MathematIkunterrichT durch wünschenswerte Erschwernisse). LIMIT ist wiederum ein Teilprojekt des hessischen LOEWE-Schwerpunkts "Wünschenswerte Erschwernisse" an der Universität Kassel, in dem Fachdidaktiker, Psychologen und Erziehungswissenschaftler zusammenarbeiten. Das LIMIT-Projekt untersucht in zwei Teilstudien die Wirkungen des verschachtelten Lernens, zum einen in der Sekundarstufe I und zum anderen in der Grundschule.
Reply to a Comment on "Role of Potentials in the Aharonov-Bohm Effect"

description: Preceding Comment challenged my claim that potentials might be just auxiliary mathematical tools and that they are not necessary for explaining physical phenomena. The Comment did not confront my explanation without potentials of the Aharonov-Bohm effects appeared in the original paper, but stated that I cannot apply this explanation for seven other examples. In my reply I provide explanations using my method, of one of the examples, show that two other example are not relevant, and agree that the remaining examples require further analysis. However, I argue that none of the examples provide robust counter examples to my claim similar to the original Aharonov-Bohm setups which were explained in my Paper, so the Comment does not refute my claim.

A Toolkit for Coalitions to Review Services, Contexts, and Capacity at Local Rape Crisis Centers
Creators: name: Koenig, Mary
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This toolkit stems from an exploratory assessment project conducted at the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NCCASA), an inclusive, statewide alliance working to end sexual violence through education, advocacy, and legislation. During the summer to fall of 2017, NCCASA interns assessed prevention programming at North Carolina’s RCCs and prepared a report to help NCCASA better understand programs, community contexts, and capacity at RCCs regarding SV prevention programming. Overall, semi-structured phone interviews were completed with staff from 54 North Carolina RCCs, focusing on the prevention programs currently offered, goals for future programs, and barriers to meeting those goals. The toolkit is intended to: 1) Provide step-by-step instructions for statewide agencies such as coalitions to conduct similar projects to gather information about services, contexts, and capacity at local agencies in their state, with special focus on sexual violence prevention work;2) Relate the work to theory/models and previous practice wisdom; and3) Add to practice wisdom by sharing methods, findings, and lessons learned from the project conducted in North Carolina.
Viability of Private Prison Policy in Ethiopia

description: International bills of rights address the treatment of detainees concerning their dignity. The 2011 criminal justice policy of Ethiopia also calls for decent treatment of detainees and inmates. However, study reports indicate that the existing condition of detainees and inmates in Ethiopia fails to comply with the minimum expected treatment level. They tend to suffer from high levels of overcrowding, lack of separate accommodation (based on sex, age, illness, and nature of the offender), severe occurrences of disease, malnutrition, and unhygienic conditions, absence of organized education and training platforms, and no hearing mechanism. This article attempted to assess the viability of private prisons, in Ethiopia, serving as an alternative public prison system, similar to approaches found in other nations namely, the United States, United Kingdom, and South Africa. A qualitative research approach was employed in collecting and analyzing data. The findings revealed that there could be room for having correctional privatization in Ethiopia in addition to the utilization of alternatives to incarceration.

description: Modern western diets are increasingly recognized to be unsustainable. As a result, an ever-growing number of people are looking to alternative proteins as a way to reduce their environmental footprints. Some studies have suggested that insects represent a promising alternative to more conventional animal protein sources, like pigs, cows, and chickens. But how ready is the average consumer to eat insects? Do environmental values make people more willing to try insect-based foods? Would providing people with information on the environmental advantages of insects in any way change their attitudes towards these foods? This article summarizes the answers to these questions.

description: Recent results in the construction of anomaly-free models of loop quantum gravity have shown obstacles when local physical degrees of freedom are present. Here, a set of no-go properties is derived in polarized Gowdy models, raising the question whether these systems can be covariant beyond a background treatment. As a side product, it is shown that normal deformations in classical polarized Gowdy models can be Abelianized.
