THE DETERMINANTS OF EXPORT PERFORMANCE IN ETHIOPIA: A PANEL DATA ANALYSIS
Creators: name: Tigist Alemu
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The paper examines the effect of demand and supply side factors on Ethiopia’s export performance. Thus the supply side factors are responsible for poor export performance in the country. The study employed a panel data analysis to empirically analyze these determinants in Ethiopia’sfor the period 2007 to 2017. A sample of ten major trading partners was selected to analyze the determinants of total export. Based the Hausman test fixed effect is appropriate to estimate the model for Ethiopia’s export performance. Using fixed model we found that from the supply side factors GDP, LPI, FDI and REER have insignificant effect for Ethiopia’s export performance while(CPI) institutional quality significantly affects the export performance. Whereas on the demand side the per capita income of the trading partner and trade openness significantly affect the export performance. Thus study concludes that in recent years supply side factors become insignificant for the country export performance and due emphasis should be given for supply capacity to improve the export sector.

Teacher Leaders’ Conceptualization of Teacher Leadership and Individual Teacher Leader Identity
Creators: name: Feller Jr, Thomas R
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Researchers recently concluded that over half of teachers who left the profession did so because they were “dissatisfied,” and two of the reasons offered were lack of opportunities to advance and lack of administrative support. Developing teacher leaders is a focus for many districts, foundations, federal funding agencies, and professional educators in an effort to address this troubling trend in teacher attrition. Yet, when asked what distinguishes teacher leaders from other educators, the responses seem as varied as the people who answered the question. In this exploratory multi-case study, I examine how six teacher leaders in one rural school district in North Carolina conceptualize “teacher leadership” and how they saw themselves as teacher leaders. The research questions I address are: (RQ1) How do teachers who have experienced a leadership program conceptualize “teacher leadership”? and (RQ2) How do these same teachers understand what it means to be a teacher leader? The purpose of the study was to determine if a common definition of teacher leadership exists among teacher leaders and, if so, what it is. This involved investigating motivations and identities, as described by the teacher leaders themselves. Data were collected from two rounds of semi-structured interviews and analyzed using an eclectic coding method. I present common themes from across the case studies. Deeper explorations of two of the teacher leaders provides additional data on how they think about their identity and roles. My goal is to inform the development of effective systems and structures for growing and supporting teacher leaders. At the end, I offer specific recommendations for districts and academics interested in creating teacher leader programs and topics for future researchers to explore.

description: The rheological properties of granular matter within a two-dimensional flow around a moving disk is investigated experimentally. Using a combination of photoelastic and standard tessellation techniques, the strain and stress tensors are estimated at the grain scale in the time-averaged flow field around a large disk pulled at constant velocity in an assembly of smaller disks. On the one hand, one observes inhomogeneous shear rate and strongly localized shear stress and pressure fields. On the other hand, a significant dilation rate, which has the same magnitude as the shear strain rate, is reported. Significant deviations are observed with local rheology that justify the need of searching for a non-local rheology.

description: Linearising the dynamics of nonlinear mechanical systems is an important and open research area. A common approach is feedback linearisation, which is a nonlinear control method that transforms the input-output response of a nonlinear system into an equivalent linear one. The main problem with feedback linearisation is that it requires an accurate first-principles model of the system, which are typically hard to obtain. In this paper, we design an alternative control approach that exploits data-driven models to linearise the input-output response of nonlinear mechanical systems. Specifically, a model-based reference tracking architecture is developed for nonlinear feedback systems with output nonlinearities. The overall methodology shows a high degree of performance combined with significant robustness against imperfect modelling and extrapolation. These findings are demonstrated using large set of synthetic experiments conducted on a asymmetric Duffing oscillator and using an experimental prototype of a high-precision motion system.

description: In this paper, joint designs of data routes and resource allocations are developed for generic half-duplex multicarrier wireless networks in which each subcarrier can be reused by multiple links. Two instances are considered. The first instance pertains to the general case in which each subcarrier can be timeshared by multiple links, whereas the second instance pertains to a special case in which time-sharing is not allowed and a subcarrier, once assigned to a set of links, is used by those links throughout the signalling interval. Novel frameworks are developed to optimize the joint design of data routes, subcarrier schedules and power allocations. These design problems are nonconvex and hence difficult to solve. To circumvent this difficulty, efficient techniques based on geometric programming are developed to obtain locally optimal solutions. Numerical results show that the designs developed in both instances yield performance that is superior to that of their counterparts in which frequency-reuse is not allowed.

Determinants of Performance of Employees Savings and Credit associations in Ethiopia (A case study of ETHIO TELE COM)
Creators: name: Tadeal Wakgari
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2017

description: Employee saving and credit associations (ESCAs) were financial sector operating behind a wall in Ethiopia. The members were dramatically benefited from the associations as a source of financing and investment for several years with a little general public recognition. The sectors are primarily established for the interest of their members, saving, loan financing and an extra dividend on the idle cash saved within the association. The number of cooperatives in general currently approaches 1,500, excluding a small unions and voluntary cooperative not licensed. The study was aimed to determine to what extent the loan management, saving capacity of members, technology adoption, and Literacy status of workers and members had affected performance of ESCAs. As a sample case study ETC ESCA was used. It has 7,200 members from those for 379 sample size questionnaires were distributed and 361 were actually collected and analyzed. The study was facilitated by use of primary data and secondary data. The study adopted descriptive research design and inferential statistics in which multiple regression analysis was applied to the data to examine the effects of explanatory variables on performance of ESCAs. The main finding of the study is that; explanatory variables such as Loan management, Saving capacity of members, Technology adoption, and Literacy status of workers and members have positive significant effect on performance of ESCAs. But Saving capacity of members has no significant effect on performance of ESCAs. All explanatory variables have strong positive correlation with the performance of ESCAs.

description: The main purpose of the research was to analyze the marketing and sales strategies of ELFORA Agro-Industries Plc. Since its establishment, the company’s profitability and return on investment has been very low, even when it is compared to the current bank saving rate of 4%. The study tried to identify the major marketing and sales problems that contributed to such unsatisfactory level of financial performance. In order to address those problem issues, the researcher conducted interview with the relevant company managers and referred secondary data sources. The collected data and information were compiled and analyzed for possible indications of problem areas. It was found that the main marketing and sales factors that contributed to the low profit level to be the under utilization of existing production and auxiliary facilities, inconsistency in product supply and delivery, inadequate and inconsistent demand for some of the company’s products, high cost of production due to low capacity utilization and untimely purchase of raw material inputs, which resulted in higher prices than competitors leading to loss of market share.

Online self-paced modules to reduce weight bias in healthcare professionals
Creators: name: Strauss, Jessica
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose of Project: Weight bias is one of the most prevalent forms of bias experienced and is associated with physiological changes in the body, contributor to obesity itself, and an indicator for increased mortality rates. Healthcare professionals are a common source of weight bias and those experiencing weight bias are receiving lower quality care. This project evaluated the effectiveness of an online course in reducing weight bias in healthcare professionals (HCP). Methodology: Healthcare professionals completed a self-paced, online educational course focusing on obesity, weight bias, and ways to reduce weight bias. The Attitudes Toward Obese Persons (ATOP) and the Beliefs About Obese Persons (BAOP) surveys were used to assess weight bias pre-and-post intervention. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to measure the effectiveness of the intervention by calculating the difference in survey scores pre-and post-intervention. Additionally, healthcare professionals’ intention to change their current clinical practice was assessed. Results: There was an increase in ATOP score post-intervention (W=9, z= -1.8857, p<0.05) and BAOP (W=0, z= -2.0226, p<0.05), indicating HCPs showed improved attitudes and beliefs (or less bias) towards patients with obesity. Additionally, HCPs expressed a more positive view towards treating patients with obesity and an intent to change their current clinical practice. Implications for Practice: This project demonstrated that obesity and weight bias modules can reduce weight bias in HCPs. Future research and quality improvement projects are needed to identify the impact of online training on quality of care and care seeking behaviors of patients with obesity.
FEASABILITY OF NEW METHODS FOR NURSERY GROUND IDENTIFICATION FOR THE JUVENILE BLACKTIP SHARK (CARCHARHINUS LIMBATUS) USING DRONE TECHNOLOGY - SAN CRISTOBAL ISLAND, GALAPAGOS

description: Understanding abundance patterns of megafauna critical to conservation planning and nursery designation in the marine environment. Traditionally, abundance of juvenile sharks around San Cristobal, Ecuador has been measured through gill-net. New methods utilizing can contribute and expand upon the process of defining nursery habitat through deployment as a tool following Heupel, Carlson & Simpfendorfer’s (2007) definition stating necessity of higher density, residency, and fidelity. Monthly drone flights were performed in conjunction with gill-net surveys to compare efficacy of each method with ranked counts comparable across all sites (R = 0.54, p < 0.001) and disparities between methods indicating higher captured drone abundances. Preliminary models specify a correlation between captured drone abundances and environmental parameters, thus providing an indication of when and where we expect to find juvenile sharks. This new method has far-reaching conservation implications for the GMR, as we better capture population trends of an economically important species.

description: We report the storage of microwave pulses at the single-photon level in a spin-ensemble memory consisting of $10^{10}$ NV centers in a diamond crystal coupled to a superconducting LC resonator. The energy of the signal, retrieved $100\, μ\mathrm{s}$ later by spin-echo techniques, reaches $0.3\%$ of the energy absorbed by the spins, and this storage efficiency is quantitatively accounted for by simulations. This figure of merit is sufficient to envision first implementations of a quantum memory for superconducting qubits.

description: CO2 Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (CO2–FTS) is a promising technology enabling conversion of CO2 into valuable chemical feedstocks via hydrogenation. Iron–based CO2–FTS catalysts are known for their high activities and selectivities towards the formation of higher hydrocarbons. Importantly, iron carbides are the presumed active phase strongly associated with the formation of higher hydrocarbons. Yet, many factors such as reaction temperature, atmosphere, and pressure can lead to complex transformations between different oxide and/or carbide phases, which, in turn, alter selectivity. Thus, understanding the mechanism and kinetics of carbide formation remains challenging. We propose model–type iron oxide films of controlled nanostructure and phase composition as model materials to study carbide formation in syngas atmospheres. In the present work, different iron oxide precursor films with controlled phase composition (hematite, ferrihydrite, maghemite, maghemite/magnetite) and ordered mesoporosity are synthesized using the evaporation–induced self–assembly (EISA) approach. The model materials are then exposed to a controlled atmosphere of CO/H2 at 300 °C. Physicochemical analysis of the treated materials indicates that all oxides convert into carbides with a core–shell structure. The structure appears to consist of crystalline carbide cores surrounded by a partially oxidized carbide shell of low crystallinity. Larger crystallites in the original iron oxide result in larger carbide cores. The presented simple route for the synthesis and analysis of soft–templated iron carbide films will enable the elucidation of the dynamics of the oxide to carbide transformation in future work.

description: Random spin-exchange collisions in warm alkali vapor cause rapid decoherence and act to equilibriate the spin state of the atoms. In contrast, here we demonstrate experimentally and theoretically a coherent coupling of one alkali specie to another specie, mediated by these random collisions. We show that, the minor specie (potassium) inherits the magnetic properties of the dominant specie (rubidium), including its lifetime (T1), coherence time (T2), gyromagnetic ratio, and SERF magnetic-field threshold. We further show that this coupling can be completely controlled by varying the strength of the magnetic field. Finally, we explain these phenomena analytically by modes-mixing of the two species via spin-exchange collisions.
Ripple Effect: Finding value in meaning through a studio practice in jewellery and glass
Creators: name: Tilden, Blanche
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: This practice led enquiry investigates how jewellery can shift and heighten awareness of issues related to materials based knowledge, materiality, value, and the meaning of objects. Drawing on methodologies of making at the intersection of the disciplines of contemporary jewellery and studio glass, I have tested conceptual underpinnings through the development of glass forms and linkages to create two new series of work entitled Ripple Effect and Through the Lens that I will present for examination. In the exegesis I discuss how this final body of work has been informed by my firsthand study of the Australian designer Grant Featherston's glass jewellery of the 1940s. I demonstrate how a major commission to reinterpret Featherston's glass work shifted the conceptual frame of my studio research and led me to repurpose glass components salvaged from analogue 35mm camera lenses, as an alternative to employing new material. In the process of making, I have considered the changing value, function, materiality and meaning of these obsolete optical devices. Now revalued, and imbued with new value, I have invested these objects with meaning through a process of transformation in the studio. This research establishes new knowledge, sited within the fields of contemporary jewellery and studio glass. Informed by the work of Dutch theorists and art historians Marjan Unger and Leisbeth den Besten, my practice led research is contextualised through an investigation of contemporary jewellery. My understanding of current theoretical and material approaches to value, materiality and meaning have been explored through several case studies of recognised leading practitioners in the field of contemporary jewellery, including Otto Kunzli and Susan Cohn. Considering the multiple meanings of value explored in the practice of artists from the contemporary jewellery movement has raised questions about fundamental concerns in my own practice. In the studio, I have used contextual analysis as a lens through which to examine more abstract concepts such as tacit knowledge of making, and how as a reclaimed resource, salvaged glass lenses act as a metaphor, linking the past to my own experiences as a contemporary maker and designer. In this research I show how the act of revaluing objects reveals new perspectives, addressing what it means to create new work in an era of the emerging consequence of wasteful consumerism, mass production and rapid shifts from analogue to digital technology in objects such as cameras. The salvaged lenses I have selected to repurpose, industrially produced precision glass components that have lost their currency, acquire new values that speak to both the arc of my practice led methodology and the contextual themes developed through my research.
Detection and parameter estimation challenges of Type-II lensed binary black hole signals

description: Strong lensing of {gravitational-wave signals} can produce three types of images, denoted as Type-I, Type-II and Type-III, corresponding to the minima, saddle and maxima of the lensing potential of the lensed images. Type-II images, in particular, receive a non-trivial phase shift of $π/2$. This phase shift can introduce additional distortions in the strains produced by the Type-II image of the binary black hole signals depending on the morphology of the signals, e.g., when they have contributions from higher harmonics, precession, eccentricity, etc. {The probability of observing Type-II images is nearly the same as that of strong lensing itself, and thus these signals are likely to be observed in the near future.} In this work, we investigate the potential applicability of these distortions in helping identify Type-II signals from a single detection and the systematic biases that could arise in the inference of parameters if they are recovered with gravitational-wave templates that do not take the distortion into account. We show that the lensing distortions will allow us to confidently identify the Type-II images for highly inclined binaries: at network signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) $ρ=20(50)$, individual Type-II images should be identifiable with ln Bayes factor $\ln \mathcal{B} > 2$ for inclinations $ ι> 5 π/12 (π/3) $. Furthermore, based on the trends we observe in these results, we predict that, at high SNRs ($\gtrsim 100$), individual Type-II images would be identifiable even when the inclination angle is much lower ($\sim π/6$). We then show that neglecting physical effects arising from these identifiable Type-II images can significantly bias the estimates of source parameters. Thus, in the future, using templates that take into account the lensing deformation would be necessary to extract source parameters from Type-II lensed signals.

description: Kondisi  yang dikenal sebagai stunting  yang merupakan hasil dari kekurangan gizi kronis anak sejak lahir  menjadi masalah kesehatan utama di Indonesia dan memengaruhi orang di seluruh dunia. Stunting adalah masalah serius yang dapat  diatasi dengan mengurangi faktor penyebabnya. Salah satu cara untuk melakukannya adalah dengan melakukan penyuluhan atau sosialisasi kepada masyarakat umum tentang stunting. Pengabdian yang dilakukan oleh tim KKN UNRI 2024 yang bekerja sama dengan bidan desa di Desa Tenan. Desa Tenan memiliki angka stunting yang cukup tinggi. Maka dari itu kami Tim KKN UNRI melakukan kegiatan berupa sosialisasi dan pembagian makanan bergizi. Kegiatan diawali  tim KKN UNRI 2024 dengan melakukan pendataan untuk memperoleh informasi terbaru mengenai jumlah ibu hamil di desa tersebut, dan ditemukan 11 ibu hamil data ini diperoleh dari bidan desa. Data menunjukkan bahwa stunting masih terjadi dan pengetahuan akan kesadaran masyarakt masih rendah. Setelah pendataan, tim menyusun materi, melaksanakan sosialisasi, dan melakukan evaluasi, serta memberikan makanan bergizi kepada balita dan ibu hamil. Hasil sosialisasi menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman dan kewaspadaan ibu hamil terhadap bahaya stunting, serta upaya pencegahan yang lebih baik dari masyarakat itu sendiri.

description: The eigenvalue spectrum of a random matrix often only depends on the first and second moments of its elements, but not on the specific distribution from which they are drawn. The validity of this universality principle is often assumed without proof in applications. In this letter, we offer a pertinent counterexample in the context of the generalised Lotka--Volterra equations. Using dynamic mean-field theory, we derive the statistics of the interactions between species in an evolved ecological community. We then show that the full statistics of these interactions, beyond those of a Gaussian ensemble, are required to correctly predict the eigenvalue spectrum and therefore stability. Consequently, the universality principle fails in this system. We thus show that the eigenvalue spectra of random matrices can be used to deduce the stability of `feasible' ecological communities, but only if the emergent non-Gaussian statistics of the interactions between species are taken into account.

description: We present a novel interpretation of IceCube high energy neutrino events (with energy larger than 60 TeV) in terms of an extraterrestrial flux due to two different contributions: a flux originated by known astrophysical sources and dominating IceCube observations up to few hundreds TeV, and a new flux component where the most energetic neutrinos come from the leptophilic three-body decays of dark matter particles with a mass of few PeV. Differently from other approaches, we provide two examples of elementary particle models that do not require extremely tiny coupling constants. We find the compatibility of the theoretical predictions with the IceCube results when the astrophysical flux has a cutoff of the order of 100 TeV (broken power law). In this case the most energetic part of the spectrum (PeV neutrinos) is due to an extra component such as the decay of a very massive dark matter component. Due to the low statistics at our disposal we have considered for simplicity the equivalence between deposited and neutrino energy, however such approximation does not affect dramatically the qualitative results. Of course, a purely astrophysical origin of the neutrino flux (no cutoff in energy below the PeV scale - unbroken power law) is still allowed. If future data will confirm the presence of a sharp cutoff above few PeV this would be in favor of a dark matter interpretation.

Use of a medication reminder smartphone application to increase medication compliance with patients in the primary care setting
Creators: name: Genualdi, Christina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose: Due to the rapid growth of technology and the rise of smartphones, the use ofmedication reminder smartphone applications for medication compliance has increased. The purpose of the study is to provide primary care providers, and their patients, with an effective tool to manage multiple medications and improve medication taking behavior. Methodology: This quality improvement project was conducted in a private primary care office in an urban setting in Essex County. Participants were selected via convenience sampling. The Hill-Bone Medication Adherence Survey was distributed to all patients in the office. Patients who identified as struggling with medication compliance used the smartphone application MediSafe for 4 weeks, and at the conclusion of the 4 weeks, completed another Hill-Bone Medication Adherence survey to reassess their medication compliance after using the smartphone application. Results: Sixty participants enrolled in the project (N=60), and fifty-five participants (N=55) completed the project in its entirety. The mean Hill-Bone Medication Adherence Survey scores had a 6.33-point increase when comparing pre-intervention and post-intervention scores, indicating increased medication compliance. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed significant results across all 9 questions from the surveys (p=<.001), and showed significance between the pre-intervention and post-intervention scores (Z=-5.803, p=<.001). Implications: Primary care providers can utilize smartphone medication reminder applications as a useful tool to increase medication compliance in patients with chronic diseases who struggle to take their medications on a daily basis.
Complex Manifolds of Hyperbolic and Non-Hyperbolic-Type

description: The present manuscript gives an account of the research undertaken from January 1st, 2019, to July 31st, 2022, under the supervision of Ben Andrews and Gang Tian. Outside of the Ph.D. requirement, the purpose of the present thesis is to provide (at least the author) with a useful reference on the curvature aspects of Hermitian manifolds. At the time of writing this, many texts exist concerning the geometry of K\"ahler manifolds, but not many of them have considered the general Hermitian category. The best reference at present appears to be Zheng's Complex Differential Geometry \cite{ZhengBook}, but the focus of this beautiful book is also not on Hermitian manifolds. In many respects, Hermitian (non-K\"ahler) differential geometry remains in its infancy. The presence of torsion in the natural connections which reside on the tangent bundle of a non-K\"ahler Hermitian manifold renders the subject formidable to outsiders, and this is undoubtedly exacerbated by the absence of books on the subject. The guiding narrative behind this thesis is to understand how the curvature of Hermitian metrics, which reside on a complex manifold, influences the complex geometry. The primary example of this type of investigation is in understanding when a sign on some curvature of a Hermitian metric force the manifold to be a known class (e.g., Kobayashi hyperbolic, Brody hyperbolic, Oka, homogeneous, etc.). This is the reason for titling the manuscript \textit{Complex Manifolds of Hyperbolic and Non-Hyperbolic-Type}. One of the central tools in studying hyperbolicity (and non-hyperbolicity) utilizing the curvature of Hermitian metrics is the Schwarz lemma (sometimes called the Yau--Schwarz lemma or Ahlfors--Schwarz lemma in this context). The new results established by the author primarily concern refinements and improvements on the Schwarz lemma (exhibited in $\S 2.5$ and $\S 2.6$), which appear in \cite{BroderSBC, BroderSBC2}. However, a better understanding of the Schwarz lemma (especially in the Hermitian category) requires an improved understanding of the holomorphic sectional curvature and Ricci curvature of a Hermitian metric. This, in turn, furnished some of the results in $\S 2.3$ and $\S 2.4$, which appear in \cite{BroderStanfield1, BroderStanfield2, BT1, BT2, BroderLA, BroderGraph, BroderRemarks}.
