description: The main aim of this study was intended- to analyze the key implementation challenges of balanced score card (BSC) at local level in Addis Ababa city administration woreda two of case of Gullele sub city: -for improvement of strategic planning and performance measurement. The focus on balanced scorecard in Gullele sub-city woreda-2 administrative office is becoming an efficient and effective performance management system to translate the woreda's vision into a clear measurable outcome that define success in providing services and that are shared throughout the woreda and with customers and stakeholders. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from the target population employing purposive and random sampling technique respectively. The collected data was processed and presented using tables and figures and analysis was made using descriptive statistics. The identified key success factors were; provision of training for awareness creation, employee's involvement in cascading activities, availability of documents related to BSC implementation and good work environment where by managers at all level work in collaboration with employees. On the other hand, this study revealed that the key failure factors that affect implementation of BSC were lack of proper understanding by the employees as a result of nonexistence of refreshment training, lack of positive attitude and passive resistance observed on employees. Therefore, To assure the continuation of positive outcomes achieved as a result of BSC implementation all concerned bodies should work in collaboration to create understanding of how important management tool BSC is for the organization to reach its goals. In order to recognize implementation of BSC for improvement of strategic planning and performance measurement in the sector made smooth transformation of the above mentioned challenges into accomplishment and additional ability of the organizations.
Fast-forwarding of Hamiltonians and Exponentially Precise Measurements

description: In the early days of quantum mechanics, it was believed that the time energy uncertainty principle (TEUP) bounds the efficiency of energy measurements, relating the duration ($Δt$) of the measurement, and its accuracy error ($ΔE$) by $ΔtΔE \ge$ 1/2. In 1961 Y. Aharonov and Bohm gave a counterexample, whereas Aharonov, Massar and Popescu [2002] showed that under certain conditions the principle holds. Can we classify when and to what extent the TEUP is violated? Our main theorem asserts that such violations are in one to one correspondence with the ability to "fast forward" the associated Hamiltonian, namely, to simulate its evolution for time $t$ using much less than $t$ quantum gates. This intriguingly links precision measurements with quantum algorithms. Our theorem is stated in terms of a modified TEUP, which we call the computational TEUP (cTEUP). In this principle the time duration ($Δt$) is replaced by the number of quantum gates required to perform the measurement, and we argue why this is more suitable to study if one is to understand the totality of physical resources required to perform an accurate measurement. The inspiration for this result is a family of Hamiltonians we construct, based on Shor's algorithm, which exponentially violate the cTEUP (and the TEUP), thus allowing exponential fast forwarding. We further show that commuting local Hamiltonians and quadratic Hamiltonians of fermions (e.g., Anderson localization model), can be fast forwarded. The work raises the question of finding a physical criterion for fast forwarding, in particular, can many body localization systems be fast forwarded? We rule out a general fast-forwarding method for all physically realizable Hamiltonians (unless BQP=PSPACE). Connections to quantum metrology and to Susskind's complexification of a wormhole's length are discussed.

description: Detection of supernova relic neutrinos could provide key support for our current understanding of stellar and cosmological evolution, and precise measurements of these neutrinos could yield novel insights into the universe. In this paper, we studied the detection potential of supernova relic neutrinos using linear alkyl benzene (LAB) as a slow liquid scintillator. The linear alkyl benzene features good separation of Cherenkov and scintillation lights, thereby providing a new route for particle identification. We further addressed key issues in current experiments, including (1) the charged current background of atmospheric neutrinos in water Cherenkov detectors and (2) the neutral current background of atmospheric neutrinos in typical liquid scintillator detectors. A kiloton-scale LAB detector at Jinping with $\mathcal{O}$(10) years of data could discover supernova relic neutrinos with a sensitivity comparable to that of large-volume water Cherenkov detectors, typical liquid scintillator detectors, and liquid argon detectors.

description: The study was conducted to assess the management of Domestic solid waste management practices using the case of Akaki-kality sub city in Addis Ababa Capital city of Ethiopia. Three specific objectives guided this study and these include establishing the status of the existing solid waste collection, transportation and disposal practices in Akaki-kality sub city; to examine magnitude of solid waste management problems and to design strategies to overcome waste management challenges in Akakai-kality sub city. A purposive and simple random sampling design was used for this study in which a total of 216 respondents informed this study. These were reached through purposive and random sampling. Observation, questionnaires and interviews were used during the collection of primary data. Data was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. According to the findings of the study, people in Akaki-kality sub city use different methods in collection of solid waste transport it and later dispose at recognized site. It was found that solid waste management is the work of unions and the solid waste administration offices under the authority of the municipality. It established that materials such as sucks are used in the due course to collect solid waste. The study concludes that the management and collection of solid waste is never a duty of neither one person nor one organization; rather all groups and individuals at hand. Therefore, there is a need for all people to work for the clean environment and a better life. The study also calls different groups and organizations to apply modern techniques for the collection, transportation and disposing of solid waste in Akaki-kality sub city.

description: Superconductors containing magnetic impurities exhibit intriguing phenomena derived from the competition between Cooper pairing and Kondo screening. At the heart of this competition are the Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (Shiba) states which arise from the pair breaking effects a magnetic impurity has on a superconducting host. Hybrid superconductor-molecular junctions offer unique access to these states but the added complexity in fabricating such devices has kept their exploration to a minimum. Here, we report on the successful integration of a model spin 1/2 impurity, in the form of a neutral and stable all organic radical molecule, in proximity-induced superconducting break-junctions. Our measurements reveal excitations which are characteristic of a spin-induced Shiba state due to the radical's unpaired spin strongly coupled to a superconductor. By virtue of a variable molecule-electrode coupling, we access both the singlet and doublet ground states of the hybrid system which give rise to the doublet and singlet Shiba excited states, respectively. Our results show that Shiba states are a robust feature of the interaction between a paramagnetic impurity and a proximity-induced superconductor where the excited state is mediated by correlated electron-hole (Andreev) pairs instead of Cooper pairs.

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Ores
subject: Isotope geology
subject: Trace elements Analysis

description: Isotopic and trace element analyses are essential to our understanding ore-forming processes, but traditionally these techniques have required bulk digestion of rocks and minerals. Recent advances in in situ microanalytical techniques permit us to analyse samples on a mineral-by mineral basis and probe the chemistry of individual growth bands in minerals, providing a near-continuous record in any zoned mineral. This thesis is composed of five studies using the in situ geochemistry of 'gangue' (non-ore) minerals to elucidate cryptic ore-forming processes that are obscured using conventional analyses. The first half of this thesis presents coupled isotopic and trace element analyses in quartz and pyrite from magmatic-hydrothermal Cu-Au deposits. These studies revealed complex chemical zonation, providing a detailed record of cryptic fluid chemistry and depositional processes. A distinct isotopic signature and residual metastable silica hydrates in quartz microcrystals from the El Indio deposit, Chile provided the first evidence for silica maturation in a high-temperature environment and the first evidence for non-equilibrium isotope fractionation in quartz. The second half of this thesis focuses on the trace element chemistry of minerals from the Bellevue Core, a ~3 km drillcore intersecting the upper half of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa - the largest known repository of platinum-group elements (PGEs). These studies revealed a prospective PGE horizon and provide the first evidence for extensive equilibration of plagioclase in cumulate rocks.

description: We propose a tensor network encoding the set of all eigenstates of a fully many-body localized system in one dimension. Our construction, conceptually based on the ansatz introduced in Phys. Rev. B 94, 041116(R) (2016), is built from two layers of unitary matrices which act on blocks of $\ell$ contiguous sites. We argue this yields an exponential reduction in computational time and memory requirement as compared to all previous approaches for finding a representation of the complete eigenspectrum of large many-body localized systems with a given accuracy. Concretely, we optimize the unitaries by minimizing the magnitude of the commutator of the approximate integrals of motion and the Hamiltonian, which can be done in a local fashion. This further reduces the computational complexity of the tensor networks arising in the minimization process compared to previous work. We test the accuracy of our method by comparing the approximate energy spectrum to exact diagonalization results for the random field Heisenberg model on 16 sites. We find that the technique is highly accurate deep in the localized regime and maintains a surprising degree of accuracy in predicting certain local quantities even in the vicinity of the predicted dynamical phase transition. To demonstrate the power of our technique, we study a system of 72 sites and we are able to see clear signatures of the phase transition. Our work opens a new avenue to study properties of the many-body localization transition in large systems.

The Ethiopian Developmental State Approach and the Role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Democratic Governance: A Study on Selected Local NGOs
Creators: name: Abdurahman, Bedewi
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The developmental state approach has been getting currency after the 'East-Asian miracle' has been taken as a success story by different scholars, analysts and the international community. Nowadays, a global focus is also being given on building a democratic-developmental state in developing countries including Ethiopia. In this case, in addition to building its own institutions, a particular state is expected to work closely with non-state actors including the civil society which will enable it to achieve its democratic and developmental goals. The main purpose of this study was to identify, describe and produce an analysis of the Ethiopian developmental state approach and the potential role local NGOs in democratic governance. A semi-structured and in-depth interview schedules have been prepared and distributed to a purposefully selected four local NGOs, one consultation forum and concerned government institution. The selected NGOs have been operating for more than ten years, so that their activities can be assessed vis-à-vis the Ethiopian developmental state approach that has become an official government's paradigm in the last ten years or so. The results of the study showed that, the role of local NGOs in democratic governance is important and can promote a democratic developmental state's agenda. Additionally, the government should play a vital role by strengthening the playing ground for non-state actors including the civil society and achieve a democratic developmental state's objective. The paper contributes to a better understanding of the importance of and attitude towards local NGOs in the realm of a democratic-developmental state paradigm. Based on the results, it can serves as a basis for further research in the field.

Cognitive Abilities in Fish: Biological Predictors and Impact on Reproductive Success
Creators: name: Vinogradov, Ivan
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: Cognitive Abilities in Fish: Biological Predictors and Impact on Reproductive Success Thesis Abstract Cognitive abilities underpin almost every animal behaviour and allow them to gather, store, process, and use information essential for survival and reproduction. Great variation in cognitive abilities exists not only between different species, but even across individuals from the same population. This variation suggests that the evolution of cognition involves multiple factors. Cognitive abilities, their adaptive value, and their biological predictors remain poorly understood in wild animals, and are particularly overlooked in fish. In this thesis, I present five experimental studies exploring how various animal traits and environmental factors impact cognition, and how cognition can enhance fitness in wild animals. In Chapter 1, I explore the ability of mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) to express inhibitory control, an essential cognitive trait that inhibits impulsive actions in favour of delayed rewards. I show how sex, age, and personality can impact their inhibitory control. Chapter 2 investigates the effect of a widespread environmental pollutant, fluoxetine, on inhibitory control of guppies (Poecilia reticulata). I discuss how sex, dosage and body size influence the effects of fluoxetine, and the potential transgenerational impact of pollution on fish behaviour. In Chapter 3, I look at how the negative effect of inbreeding on cognition can be amplified in stressful environments in guppies. I discuss how the magnitude of inbreeding depression can change depending on sex and sex-specific tolerance to environmental stress in the form of elevated temperature. Chapter 4 explores sexual selection on cognitive abilities in mosquitofish. I design a battery of five cognitive assays to measure different cognitive traits. First, I investigate whether individual scores are correlated across tasks, which is suggestive of the presence of "general intelligence". Second, I test whether performance in these tasks correlates with male paternity, which is consistent with sexual selection on cognition. Finally, Chapter 5 tests for the existence of cognitive senescence, the anticipated decline of cognitive abilities with age. Using the battery of five cognitive assays, I investigate how age impacts performance across different cognitive domains. I discuss the biological relevance of sexually selected cognitive abilities and the observed scale of senescence.

description: Modern precision experiments trapping low-energy particles require detailed simulations of particle trajectories and spin precession to determine systematic measurement limitations and apparatus deficiencies. We developed PENTrack, a tool that allows to simulate trajectories of ultracold neutrons and their decay products---protons and electrons---and the precession of their spins in complex geometries and electromagnetic fields. The interaction of ultracold neutrons with matter is implemented with the Fermi-potential formalism and diffuse scattering using Lambert and microroughness models. The results of several benchmark simulations agree with STARucn v1.2, uncovered several flaws in Geant4 v10.2.2, and agree with experimental data. Experiment geometry and electromagnetic fields can be imported from commercial computer-aided-design and finite-element software. All simulation parameters are defined in simple text files allowing quick changes. The simulation code is written in C++ and is freely available at github.com/wschreyer/PENTrack.git.

description: The objective of this study was to investigate the nexus between urban poverty and property crimes which were committed in Addis Ababa city. To calibrate the nexus between urban crime and poverty in the city of Addis Ababa, a descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in the 10 sub-cities of Addis Ababa. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative approach of data collection and analysis. Structured questionnaires and key informant interview guide were administered in data collection. 200(Two hundred) property crimes offenders were sampled using random sampling technique. Whereas, non- random technique were used for selecting 6 key interviewees. Secondary data from annual crime report, performance reports, police investigation files and different legislations were also used. Analysis was done using SPSS version 24.The findings characterizes the offender respondents as poor and commission of property crime was their coping strategy for survival. This was evident from findings of the study where the demographic characteristics of offenders characterized by the a household more than six mebers,48%, more number of dependent age, 51%,and a house hold which was dominated by the unemployed family members 62.5%.Economically the majority of the offenders were unemployed,77, with no profession,83%, and no employable skill. And also 23 % were below TPL and 49.5% were vulnerable to poverty. The majority of the offenders living and social characteristics was the a same as a typical poor. Benefiting the young, unemployed, unskilled and unofficial migrant residents of the city and who are at the risk of committing a crime by urban poverty alleviation programs is the recommendation of this study

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The main goal of this research is to critically assess the urban land lease policy implementation the case of Bole sub city. The specific objectives of the study were to identify the challenges in the practical implementation of the policy, evaluate the benefit of the people and local government from the urban land lease policy, evaluate the lease policy in line with its effect on financial contribution for infrastructure development of none serviced land and to identify problems that expands the gap between supply and demand of land in the study area. For the sake of achieving the objectives of this study descriptive method were employed and, questionnaires were analyzed by using table, percentage and average. The results of the data are presented in qualitative and quantitative forms. The information collected through questionnaire from 120 sample respondents. The respondents were selected using purposive and convenience sampling technique. The study was focused on assessing the effect of urban land lease policy on infrastructure of non-serviced land, demand & supply of land and on benefit of the people from urban land policy. The finding of the study indicates that the land market regulation mechanism cannot control imperfection and not benefited the people and the people do not satisfied in current supply performance of housing and land supply. Based on the findings, the key recommendations made such as, bole sub city government should take lesson and share the experience of similar well-functioning and effective land lease system implemented countries in global level. Continuous and timely revision of the land lease law to reduce emerging constraints and make intervention for lowering land lease price. Revenue collected from lease should be used for its intended purpose in accordance with what says the proclamation 272/2002.

description: The effective temperature (Teff) of the radiation field of the ionizing star(s) of a large sample of extragalactic HII regions was estimated using the R= log([OII](3727)/[OIII]5007) index. We used a grid of photoionization models to calibrate the Teff-R relation finding that it has a strong dependence with the ionizing parameter while it shows a weak direct dependence with the metallicity (variations in Z imply variations in U) of both the stellar atmosphere of the ionizing star and the gas phase of the HII region. Since the R index varies slightly with the Teff for values larger than 40 kK, the R index can be used to derive the Teff in 30-40 kK range. A large fraction of the ionization parameter variation is due to differences in the temperature of the ionizing stars and then the use of the (relatively) low Teff dependent S2=[S II](6717+31)/Ha emission-line ratio to derive the ionization parameter is preferable over others in the literature. We propose linear metallicity dependent relationships between S2 and U. Teff and metallicity estimations for a sample of 865 HII regions, whose emission-line intensities were compiled from the literature, do not show any Teff-Z correlation. On the other hand it seems to be hints of the presence of an anti-correlation between Teff-U. We found that the majority of the studied HII regions (87%) present Teff values in the range between 37 and 40 kK, with an average value of 38.5 kK. We also studied the variation of Teff as a function of the galactocentric distance for 14 spiral galaxies. Our results are in agreement with the idea of the existence of positive Teff gradients along the disk of spiral galaxies.

description: The early part of a supernova (SN) light-curve is dominated by radiation escaping from the expanding shock-heated progenitor envelope. For polytropic Hydrogen envelopes, the properties of the emitted radiation are described by simple analytic expressions and are nearly independent of the polytropic index, $n$. This analytic description holds at early time, $t0.7~\rm eV$, $t<14(R/10^{13.5}{\rm cm})^{0.55}~\rm d$. The suppression of $L$ at $t_{\rm tr}/a$ obtained for standard polytropic envelopes may account for the first optical peak of double-peaked SN light curves, with first peak at a few days for $M_{\rm env}<1M_\odot$.

description: We report an efficient energy-time entangled photon-pair source based on four-wave mixing in a CMOS-compatible silicon photonics ring resonator. Thanks to suitable optimization, the source shows a large spectral brightness of 400\,pairs of entangled photons /s/MHz for $\rm 500\,μW$ pump power. Additionally, the resonator has been engineered so as to generate a frequency comb structure compatible with standard telecom dense wavelength division multiplexers. We demonstrate high-purity energy-time entanglement, i.e., free of photonic noise, with near perfect raw visibilities ($>$~98\%) between various channel pairs in the telecom C-band. Such a compact source stands as a path towards more complex quantum photonic circuits dedicated to quantum communication systems.

Ensuring an efficient turning process by means of desirability index optimization for correlated quality criteria

Subjects: subject: Correlated quality criteria
subject: Desirability index
subject: Turning process
subject: 310

description: The desirability index (DI) is a method for multi-criteria optimization accepted widely in industrial quality management. The DI integrates expert knowledge into the optimization process by setting up desirability functions (DFs) of the quality criteria regarding their objective regions and aggregating them into a single performance index. However, the independence assumption of DFs rarely holds true in real turning applications, and a number of studies have been conducted proving the existence of dependencies between tool wear, surface roughness, tool life and cutting forces. As a consequence, the optimal solution obtained might be biased towards the group of performance measures, which have a high level of association (positive correlations). In this thesis, modfications of DI for handling correlated multi-criteria optimization are developed. By integrating principal component analysis (PCA) into the optimization procedure, the correlations of DFs can be eliminated, and the overall performance index, PCA-based DI, is formulated as a strictly monotonically increasing transformation of DFs; thus, the optimality of solutions can be guaranteed through the research of Legrand [26]. Apart from the PCA-based procedure, the weight-adjustment method provides an attractive alternative approach which is simpler and more exible, by introducing the weight-adjustment cofficients into the original formulas of DIs. The proposed procedures are demonstrated by means of case studies of a turning process optimization, and the optimization results are benchmarked with the traditional DIs. It has been shown in results that optimizations should be also subjected to the correlation information of performance measures. In addition, the procedure for determining correlation is found to be the second important key for a successful optimization.

description: In this paper, we address the problem of dimension reduction for sequentially observed functional data (X_k : k ∈ Z). Such functional time series arise frequently, e.g., when a continuous time process is segmented into some smaller natural units, such as days. Then each Xk represents one intraday curve. We argue that functional principal component analysis (FPCA), though a key technique in the field and a benchmark for any competitor, does not provide an adequate dimension reduction in a time series setting. FPCA is a static procedure which ignores valuable information in the serial dependence of the functional data. Therefore, inspired by Brillinger’s theory of dynamic principal components, we propose a dynamic version of FPCA which is based on a frequency domain approach. By means of a simulation study and an empirical illustration, we show the considerable improvement our method entails when compared to the usual (static) procedure. While the main part of the article outlines the ideas and the implementation of dynamic FPCA for functional Xk, we provide in the appendices a rigorous theory for general Hilbertian data.

Institutional Capacity of Local Government in Implementing the National Policy on Ethiopian Women (NPEW): the Case of Dilla Town
Creators: name: Assefa, Tefera
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: National Policy on Ethiopian Women (NPEW) is the first national policy formulated in 1993 for the protection of women's economic, social, political and human right in Ethiopia. In implementing this policy different institutional arrangements are established. Even if the structure of the organizational system for the local governments was placed in the policy since its formulation, their actual establishment is very recent than that of the regional and federal government. They lack experience, coordination, sufficient human and physical resource to discharge their duties effectively. The objective of this paper is to investigate institutional capacity in implementing the national policy of Ethiopian women in Dilla town. In doing this, both qualitative and quantitative data were used in order to explore and describe the capacity of local government in Dilla town. The study found out that despite the commitment of the government to resolve gender disparity in all spheres, the government failed to effectively institutionalize the national policy in the local government in the way that could respond to the women's need and problem in a localized manner. As such local governments in the Town have failed to address the problem of women adequately due to a numbers of capacity challenges and problems in their jurisdiction. The local governments in Dilla town suffer from limited institutional capacity such as shortage of human resource, lack of effective leadership, professionals and experts; lack of adequate material resource such as finance, office equipments and building for permanent office; limited policy knowledge and understanding, absence of organizational objective, plan, vision, mission and values especially at grass root level; there is also a limited/absence of coordination and well established network both among local governments and between the actor and other sectors; lack of gender disaggregated data in the local governments; limited level of community participation; lack of institutional experience are among the capacity problems faced by the governments in the town in discharging their responsibilities. This in turn resulted in poor quality service to the community in general and women in particular. In order to improve the capacity of the actor in the town government must consider and reconsider the local levels in the national policy and establish strong institution at the grass root level to make the service more responsive to the community
