description: For each $α\in \{0,1,-1 \}$, we count diagonally and antidiagonally symmetric alternating sign matrices (DASASMs) of fixed odd order with a maximal number of $α$'s along the diagonal and the antidiagonal, as well as DASASMs of fixed odd order with a minimal number of $0$'s along the diagonal and the antidiagonal. In these enumerations, we encounter product formulas that have previously appeared in plane partition or alternating sign matrix counting, namely for the number of all alternating sign matrices, the number of cyclically symmetric plane partitions in a given box, and the number of vertically and horizontally symmetric ASMs. We also prove several refinements. For instance, in the case of DASASMs with a maximal number of $-1$'s along the diagonal and the antidiagonal, these considerations lead naturally to the definition of alternating sign triangles. These are new objects that are equinumerous with ASMs, and we are able to prove a two parameter refinement of this fact, involving the number of $-1$'s and the inversion number on the ASM side. To prove our results, we extend techniques to deal with triangular six-vertex configurations that have recently successfully been applied to settle Robbins' conjecture on the number of all DASASMs of odd order. Importantly, we use a general solution of the reflection equation to prove the symmetry of the partition function in the spectral parameters. In all of our cases, we derive determinant or Pfaffian formulas for the partition functions, which we then specialize in order to obtain the product formulas for the various classes of extreme odd DASASMs under consideration.

description: Treating the natural environment in a responsible manner is becoming a key challenge for manufacturing companies. This challenge also regards the planning, implementation and modernization of production technologies. In this case, a new technology should not only have economic advantages, such as higher productivity or flexibility, but should address ecological aspects as well. Many existing approaches only focus on air pollution, measured in CO2, and therefore consider only one ecological dimension. So these approaches disregard other effects on the natural environment, such as water and soil pollution. Only through a holistic approach, the influences of a production technology on the environment can be considered completely and comprehensively. The following article describes a holistic ecological assessment approach and illustrates this with an example. This approach enables manufacturing companies to ecologically assess production technologies in a holistic way.

 SPECIMEN EXAMINED. — Malaysia. Terengganu: Mt. Tebu Forest Reserve, 15 km S of Jerteh town. Primary lowland dipterocarp forest with small waterfalls and slow stream. Along the forest trail at the Lata Belatan Recreational Forest and waterfall, situated at the base of Mt. Tebu at 100 m alt., on living leaves, 16.IV.2019, G.E. Lee et al. 19013, 19014, ibid, E. Pesiu et al. 19157, 19182.   REMARKS
 This species is recognized by the weakly keeled perianth without horn-like projections, the small, distant underleaves, and the obovate perianth. Previously known from the type in Sabah, Mt. Templer (Mizutani 1981) and subsequently reported from China (Zhu et al. 2005). New to Peninsular Malaysia (Terengganu). The specimens from Terengganu are similar to the Chinese material in the entire margins of underleaf lobes and the absence of weak Allorgella -typed denticulations in the margins of leaf lobes; in the type of Sabah the underleaf lobes have 1-2 marginal teeth and the margin denticulation is distinct. This species grows on sandstone, tree trunks or living leaves (this study) in the understorey and canopy of lowland and montane rainforests at an elevation of 100-1000 m (Mizutani 1981; Zhu et al. 2005).

description: Astronomical data often suffer from noise and incompleteness. We extend the common mixtures-of-Gaussians density estimation approach to account for situations with a known sample incompleteness by simultaneous imputation from the current model. The method, called GMMis, generalizes existing Expectation-Maximization techniques for truncated data to arbitrary truncation geometries and probabilistic rejection processes, as long as they can be specified and do not depend on the density itself. The method accounts for independent multivariate normal measurement errors for each of the observed samples and recovers an estimate of the error-free distribution from which both observed and unobserved samples are drawn. It can perform a separation of a mixtures-of-Gaussian signal from a specified background distribution whose amplitude may be unknown. We compare GMMis to the standard Gaussian mixture model for simple test cases with different types of incompleteness, and apply it to observational data from the NASA Chandra X-ray telescope. The python code is released as an open-source package at https://github.com/pmelchior/pyGMMis

Creators: name: Negash, Tadesse
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The main objective of this study is to determine the effect of financial rewards on employee retention at PEACE MFI S. C. The rate of employee turnover is increasing in company and as a result it has become an issue and the management has not solved this problem even if salary and fringe benefits adjustment is made every two years. The study adopted descriptive research method through the stratified random sampling design that engaged from both managerial and non-managerial staffs of 100 respondents. Data was collected using questionnaires and interviews to triangulate data source. Data was analysed with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 computer programme. After the analysis using Pearson's Correlation test, the result showedthat positive correlation between the level of financial rewards which have an effect on employee retention (p=0.003). That why there is a high rate of employee turnover in the company. Therefore, the researcher highly recommends that further research can be done to find out effect of other non-financial rewards on employee retention.

description: Discovering clusters from a dataset with different shapes, densities, and scales is a known challenging problem in data clustering. In this paper, we propose the RElative COre MErge (RECOME) clustering algorithm. The core of RECOME is a novel density measure, i.e., Relative $K$ nearest Neighbor Kernel Density (RNKD). RECOME identifies core objects with unit RNKD, and {partitions} non-core objects into atom clusters by successively following higher-density neighbor relations toward core objects. Core objects and their corresponding atom clusters are then merged through $α$-reachable paths on a KNN graph. We discover that the number of clusters computed by RECOME is a step function of the $α$ parameter with jump discontinuity on a small collection of values. A fast jump discontinuity discovery (FJDD) method is proposed based on graph theory. RECOME is evaluated on both synthetic datasets and real datasets. Experimental results indicate that RECOME is able to discover clusters with different shapes, densities, and scales. It outperforms six baseline methods on both synthetic datasets and real datasets. Moreover, FJDD is shown to be effective to extract the jump discontinuity set of parameter $α$ for all tested datasets, which can ease the task of data exploration and parameter tuning.

Workplace Diversity And Its Implications For Employees Perceived Performance In Ethiopian Airlines
Creators: name: Desta, Aida
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Workforce diversity is gaining prominence worldwide. This thesis argues that workplace diversity, when managed properly, significantly determines the level of staff performance; hence invaluably contributes to the success of an organization. Cognizant of this and appreciating the knowledge gaps in the area, the study aimed to examine the effects of diversity factors like gender, age, education, and nationality of employees on their performances while assessing the diversity management situation at the Ethiopian Airlines (EAL). The study relied on the collection and analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data from primary and secondary sources. A total of 121 employees of the EAL involved in a survey questionnaire. Besides, management organs of the EAL participated as key informants. Moreover, pertinent theoretical and empirical literatures were carefully reviewed. The analysis involved appropriate techniques. The quantitative data analysis involved statistical models such as descriptive tools and inferential statistics, among others, likemean comparisons, correlations,cross-tabulations, chi-square tests as well as ordinal logistic regression. Whereas content and contextual analyses were used for collating qualitative information, and review of secondary data that were used to complement and/or supplement the quantitative analysis. Findings of the study uncovered positive developments as well as gaps at that EAL in terms of properly accommodating the diversity factor. Eventually, the study draws conclusions, inter alia, workplacediversity constitutes the salient determinants of employees' perceived performance. The more EAL's staff is diversified; especially by gender and nationality it is highly likely that employees' performance increases, which is benign to the realization of the company's aspirations. Finally, recommendations are put in order for improved diversity management policy and practices at the EAL and like-minded organizations. Equally important, given about 58% of the determinants remained unexplained by this research, further research undertakings in the area is imperative - a recommendation directed towards the academic community

description: This work presents a simple method to determine the significant partial wave contributions to experimentally determined observables in pseudoscalar meson photoproduction. First, fits to angular distributions are presented and the maximum orbital angular momentum $\text{L}_{\mathrm{max}}$ needed to achieve a good fit is determined. Then, recent polarization measurements for $γp \rightarrow π^{0} p$ from ELSA, GRAAL, JLab and MAMI are investigated according to the proposed method. This method allows us to project high-spin partial wave contributions to any observable as long as the measurement has the necessary statistical accuracy. We show, that high precision and large angular coverage in the polarization data are needed in order to be sensitive to high-spin resonance-states and thereby also for the finding of small resonance contributions. This task can be achieved via interference of these resonances with the well-known states. For the channel $γp \rightarrow π^{0} p$, those are the $N(1680)\frac{5}{2}^{+}$ and $Δ(1950)\frac{7}{2}^{+}$, contributing to the $F$-waves.

description: In this study, we are going to discuss the accelerated expansion of the universe and how this accelerated expansion affects the paths of photons from cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). Then we will see how wide-field galaxy surveys along with cosmic CMB anisotropy maps can help us in studying dark energy. The cross-correlation of galaxy over/under-density maps with CMB anisotropy maps help us in measuring one of the most useful signatures of dark energy i.e. Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect. ISW effect explains the blue-shifting and red-shifting of CMB photons when they reach to us after passing through large scale structures and super-voids respectively. We will look into the theoretical foundations behind ISW effect and discuss how modern all sky galaxy surveys like EMU-ASKAP will be useful in studying the effect.

Creators: name: Lenjisa, Mekonnen
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Occupational diseases and hazards are always been a major concern for many industries. Occupational Health and Safety management system protects the safety, health and welfare of people at the work place. Management and the government should promote and maintain high safety standards through some measures to reduce frequency of accidents and occupational hazards. Hence, the main objective of this study was to explore the Practices of Occupational Health and Safety Management in Oromiya Steel Pipe Mil PLC by assessing the magnitude of occupational injury, accidents and diseases and by identifying factors for its causes. To address this objective, a descriptive research design adapted to the situation was implemented. The study population considered as respondent were employees and management of Oromiya Steel Pipe Mill Company staffs that have direct engagement with the issue. As a result primary data was collected through questionnaires from 48 operational and technical staffs and 11 officials in addition to referring secondary data from different documents. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Moreover, there was no availability of written health and safety policy and manuals in the organization. Most employees also revealed that the company management did not effectively communicate its workers about health and safety goals and expectation to its staff. The participation of employee on OSHMS activities is also very poor. About 14.6% of employee did not know what activities to be taken when they observe injuries, illness and other work related hazards and about 47.9% of employees do not know about safety elements. Finally, it is recommended to conduct detail occupational hazard assessment as soon as possible by company, implementing basic OSHMS is important for sustainable and effective reduction occupational hazards in line with developing occupational safety and health policy manual and providing training on OSHMS as urgent as possible to familiarize with OSHMS standards.

description: In this work, an efficient numerical scheme is presented for seismic blind deconvolution in a multichannel scenario. The proposed method iterate with wo steps: first, wavelet estimation across all channels and second, refinement of the reflectivity estimate simultaneously in all channels using sparse deconvolution. The reflectivity update step is formulated as a basis pursuit denoising problem and a sparse solution is obtained with the spectral projected-gradient algorithm - faithfulness to the recorded traces is constrained by the measured noise level. Wavelet re-estimation has a closed form solution when performed in the frequency domain by finding the minimum energy wavelet common to all channels. Nothing is assumed known about the wavelet apart from its time duration. In tests with both synthetic and real data, the method yields sparse reflectivity series and stable wavelet estimates results compared to existing methods with significantly less computational effort.

description: El propósito central de esta investigación es analizar la situación de las lideresas y líderes sociales en Colombia con base en la filosofía del pensador inglés John Stuart Mill, particularmente, su concepto de libertad de expresión. La realidad de los líderes sociales colombianos es totalmente opuesta a lo planteado por el filósofo londinense. En el primer capítulo, se describe el concepto de libertad en Mill, especialmente en su obra Sobre la libertad, en la cual se propone encontrar y defender el límite que tiene el gobierno y la opinión pública para intervenir legítimamente en la autonomía del individuo. En el segundo capítulo, nos adentramos más en el concepto de libertad, exponiendo lo que Mill esboza acerca de la libertad de expresión en particular. De acuerdo este filósofo, la libertad de expresión es una herramienta necesaria si se quiere lograr la consecución de la verdad y el desarrollo de una sociedad democrática. En el tercer capítulo se presenta la situación actual de los líderes sociales en Colombia, teniendo como base el libro ¿Por qué los matan?, publicado en 2020 por el reconocido investigador Ariel Ávila.

description: Let $M$ be a connected, closed, oriented three-manifold and $K$, $L$ two rationally null-homologous oriented simple closed curves in $M$. We give an explicit algorithm for computing the linking number between $K$ and $L$ in terms of a presentation of $M$ as an irregular dihedral $3$-fold cover of $S^3$ branched along a knot $α\subset S^3$. Since every closed, oriented three-manifold admits such a presentation, our results apply to all (well-defined) linking numbers in all three-manifolds. Furthermore, ribbon obstructions for a knot $α$ can be derived from dihedral covers of $α$. The linking numbers we compute are necessary for evaluating one such obstruction. This work is a step toward testing potential counter-examples to the Slice-Ribbon Conjecture, among other applications.

description: The study aimed in assessing succession planning practices and challenges affecting human resource succession planning in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. Specifically, the study aimed in finding answers to four objectives. It assessed the extent of human resources succession planning activities in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia it also examined the challenges facing human resources succession planning in the bank. Furthermore, the study assessed the positive factors influencing human resources succession planning in the bank. Finally, the study looked at strategies used for enhancing the application of human resource succession planning in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. The study employed questionnaire and interview in data collection. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as percentages, mean and standard Deviation. The study findings indicate that majority of the respondents did not have knowledge on the concept of human resource succession planning. The study finding also showed that the bank did not properly practice the positive factors of human resource succession planning such as Ability to motivate and retain key employees, focusingon roles and responsibilities across a carrier plan and Lack of Plenty of information about employees. Moreover, the bank did not properly used various strategies of enhancing human resources succession plans which included attracting and recruiting potential employees, Effective leadership and management development and improving budget. Furthermore, the study also provides the recommendations of what should be done in improving succession planning and this include the bank should properly implement the positive or success factors of succession planning such as Attracting and recruiting the potential employees, Rewarding and recognizing hard working employees, Effective management and properly implement performance Management system..

Cyclotomic double affine Hecke algebras (with an appendix by Hiraku Nakajima and Daisuke Yamakawa)

description: We show that the partially spherical cyclotomic rational Cherednik algebra (obtained from the full rational Cherednik algebra by averaging out the cyclotomic part of the underlying reflection group) has four other descriptions: (1) as a subalgebra of the degenerate DAHA of type A given by generators; (2) as an algebra given by generators and relations; (3) as an algebra of differential-reflection operators preserving some spaces of functions; (4) as equivariant Borel-Moore homology of a certain variety. Also, we define a new $q$-deformation of this algebra, which we call cyclotomic DAHA. Namely, we give a $q$-deformation of each of the above four descriptions of the partially spherical rational Cherednik algebra, replacing differential operators with difference operators, degenerate DAHA with DAHA, and homology with K-theory, and show that they give the same algebra. In addition, we show that spherical cyclotomic DAHA are quantizations of certain multiplicative quiver and bow varieties, which may be interpreted as K-theoretic Coulomb branches of a framed quiver gauge theory. Finally, we apply cyclotomic DAHA to prove new flatness results for various kinds of spaces of $q$-deformed quasiinvariants. In the appendix by H. Nakajima and D. Yamakawa (added in version 2), the authors explain the relations between multiplicative bow varieties and (various versions of) multiplicative quiver varieties for a cyclic quiver.

description: En el presente trabajo pretendo abordar la importancia de las humanidades en la formación para las emociones a partir de los estudios realizados por la filósofa norteamericana Martha Nussbaum. El objetivo de este busca mostrar, cómo la educación humanística puede contribuir a la formación de valores y sentimientos que promuevan actitudes de empatía, solidaridad, tolerancia y pluralismo entre las personas que viven dentro de una sociedad decente. Se desarrolla y dilucida para alcanzar ese objetivo en el primer capítulo, los conceptos de cosmopolitismo, capacidades básicas, dignidad humana, patriotismo y desarrollo humano. En el segundo capítulo, con base en la explicación de estos conceptos, se expone la importancia de la educación humanística en la configuración de una sociedad democrática, al igual que la formación de una ciudadanía cosmopolita. Así mismo, se definirá desde la perspectiva de Nussbaum el concepto de humanidad, y la forma como se articula con la formación de una ciudadanía democrática y cosmopolita.

description: This paper develops inferential methods for a very general class of ill-posed models in econometrics encompassing the nonparametric instrumental variable regression, various functional regressions, and the density deconvolution. We focus on uniform confidence sets for the parameter of interest estimated with Tikhonov regularization, as in Darolles, Fan, Florens, and Renault (2011). Since it is impossible to have inferential methods based on the central limit theorem, we develop two alternative approaches relying on the concentration inequality and bootstrap approximations. We show that expected diameters and coverage properties of resulting sets have uniform validity over a large class of models, i.e., constructed confidence sets are honest. Monte Carlo experiments illustrate that introduced confidence sets have reasonable width and coverage properties. Using U.S. data, we provide uniform confidence sets for Engel curves for various commodities.
