Financial Consumer’s Access to Justice
Creators: name: Alem, Tewachew Molla
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Access to justice is one of the fundamental human rights of every human being. The Constitution of Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia constitutionalizes this right; however this can be ensured when there is an efficient and proper venue to adjudicate grievances. The inherent asymmetric relationship between financial institutions and consumers, and the complexity of financial services or products is a major barrier to easily access justice for financial consumers. One of the mechanisms to overcome such institutional inefficiency is to establish an out-of-court adjudication body, widely called financial Ombudsman. However, in Ethiopia, financial Ombudsman has never been established. This acutely limits consumers’ access to justice. Also, the absence of this institution suggests that the country follows a laissez-faire approach in dealing with issues related to the subject.


This article explores dimensions of financial consumers’ access to justice from the Ethiopian perspective. The study employed doctrinal research method to attain the desired end. The major finding of the exploration shows that financial consumers in this country have no access to an independent, efficient, impartial, free-of-cost, and professional out-of-court dispute resolution bodies such as financial Ombudsman to seek remedy for their complaints. Further, the findings shade light on crucial role of the financial Ombudsman for access to justice. Accordingly, adapting this scheme in Ethiopia will be an important alternative to financial consumers in the country. Though adopting such a scheme in Ethiopia may face possible challenges, it can be overcome through applying good design choices of the scheme. Finally, the results from the exploration indicated that the Policy landscape in this country has enabling environment on which interested bodies can capitalize on to adapt financial Ombudsman scheme.

The Place of Bolar Exception under Ethiopian Patent Law: The Need for Reform
Creators: name: Balcha, Alemu
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: The basic principle of patent law is that once the term of a patent has expired, the protected subject matter becomes part of the public domain. This allows competitors to enter the market immediately after such term expiry, eventually lowering prices for consumers and increasing welfare gains. However, Pharmaceutical products cannot be marketed without the prior authorization of a competent regulatory agency. This would negatively affect the right to public health (access to medicine). In response to such problems, many countries have recognized the Bolar exception that endows the third party with the right to use the patented invention without the right holder's consent before the patent expiry to develop information to get market approval. The purpose of this article is to ascertain whether the Bolar exception is recognized under the Ethiopian patent regime or the research and experimentation exception under the Patent Proclamation can be broadly interpreted to justify the Bolar exception.


To meet this objective, the study employed doctrinal research methodology along with comparative exploratory tools. The research findings showed that Ethiopia recognizes neither the Bolar exception nor the research and experimentation exception envisaged under the national patent regimes justifies the exception through interpretation. The historical, theoretical, and empirical lessons from other countries show that most countries facilitate access to medicine by incorporating a Bolar exception into their domestic law. Ethiopia should, therefore, incorporate in its pertinent legislation an exception that allows the competitors to experiment with a patented invention to achieve market authorization on the day of or immediately after the expiry of the patent protection.

description: The identification of phenomena able to pinpoint quantum interference is attracting large interest. Indeed, a generalization of the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect valid for any number of photons and optical modes would represent an important leap ahead both from a fundamental perspective and for practical applications, such as certification of photonic quantum devices, whose computational speedup is expected to depend critically on multiparticle interference. Quantum distinctive features have been predicted for many particles injected into multimode interferometers implementing the Fourier transformation in the Fock space. In this work we develop a scalable approach for the implementation of quantum fast Fourier transform using 3-D photonic integrated interferometers, fabricated via femtosecond laser writing technique. We observe the quantum suppression of a large number of output states with 4- and 8-mode optical circuits: the experimental results demonstrate genuine quantum interference between the injected photons, thus offering a powerful tool for diagnostic of photonic platforms.

Variations in the Star Formation Efficiency of the Dense Molecular Gas across the Disks of Star-Forming Galaxies

description: We present a new survey of HCN(1-0) emission, a tracer of dense molecular gas, focused on the little-explored regime of normal star-forming galaxy disks. Combining HCN, CO, and infrared (IR) emission, we investigate the role of dense gas in Star Formation (SF), finding systematic variations in both the apparent dense gas fraction and the apparent SF efficiency (SFE) of dense gas. The latter may be unexpected, given the popularity of gas density threshold models to explain SF scaling relations. We used the IRAM 30-m telescope to observe HCN(1-0) across 29 nearby disk galaxies whose CO(2-1) emission has previously been mapped by the HERACLES survey. Because our observations span a range of galactocentric radii, we are able to investigate the properties of the dense gas as a function of local conditions. We focus on how the IR/CO, HCN/CO, and IR/HCN ratios (observational cognates of the SFE, dense gas fraction, and dense gas SFE) depend on the stellar surface density and the molecular/atomic ratio. The HCN/CO ratio correlates tightly with these two parameters across a range of 2.1 dex and increases in the high surface density parts of galaxies. Simultaneously, the IR/HCN ratio decreases systematically with these same parameters and is ~6-8 times lower near galaxy centers than in the outer regions. For fixed line-mass conversion factors, these results are incompatible with a simple model in which SF depends only on the gas mass above some density threshold. Only a specific set of environment-dependent conversion factors can render our observations compatible with such a model. Whole cloud models, such as the theory of turbulence regulated SF, do a better job of matching our data. We explore one such model in which variations in the Mach number and in the mean density would respectively drive the trends within galaxy disks and the differences between disk and merging galaxies (abridged).

description: Protective measures against the COVID-19 pandemic include minimizing close contact between people (“physical distancing”) and wearing a face mask to slow down the spread of the disease. In this contribution, we show that physical distancing and wearing a face mask is related to peoples’ empathy and can be promoted by inducing empathy for those most vulnerable to the virus. The present studies thus highlight one important tool for policymakers in promoting two important measures toward slowing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: Acanthamoebae are free-living protists and human pathogens, whose cellular functions and pathogenicity strongly depend on the transport of intracellular vesicles and granules through the cytosol. Using high-speed live cell imaging in combination with single-particle tracking analysis, we show here that the motion of endogenous intracellular particles in the size range from a few hundred nanometers to several micrometers in Acanthamoeba castellanii is strongly superdiffusive and influenced by cell locomotion, cytoskeletal elements, and myosin II. We demonstrate that cell locomotion significantly contributes to intracellular particle motion, but is clearly not the only origin of superdiffusivity. By analyzing the contribution of microtubules, actin, and myosin II motors we show that myosin II is a major driving force of intracellular motion in A. castellanii. The cytoplasm of A. castellanii is supercrowded with intracellular vesicles and granules, such that significant intracellular motion can only be achieved by actively driven motion, while purely thermally driven diffusion is negligible.

Year: 2010

description: Undernutrition accounts for up to 52% of child deaths worldwide, and Cambodia is no exception. Over one third of Cambodian children are considered underweight, with the children in Pursat Province having the highest rates of wasting and stunting in the country. Sustainable Cambodia, a non-governmental organization in Pursat Province operates a Food Supplement Program that provides breakfast six days per week for preschool children in the villages and offers nutrition education to mothers. This paper adds to the body of literature of food supplementation program evaluations, showing significantly lower rates of stunting and underweight among Sustainable Cambodia’s program participants when compared to the Provincial averages. Additionally, surveys with caregivers indicate that mothers and community members value the program, feel it is beneficial to their children, and are eager receive more nutrition education.

Issues on the Role of Formal Requirements for Validity of Immovable Transactions in Ethiopia: the Case of Amhara Region
Creators: name: Moges, Melkamu Belachew
name: Agegnehu, Alelegn W
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: This article deals with the question of formal requirements and their relevance to the validity of transactions relating to immovable properties both in urban and
rural settings. The article discovers that while some rules try to mention the types of formal requirements and their effect on the validity of legal transactions on immovable properties, there is still a problem of lack of coherence within each of the legislations as well as among the various legislations. Similarly, there are divergent interpretations of these rules. One cause, we argue, is the failure to demarcate the distinction among multiple existing formal requirements. In
particular, legal professionals have been confused with the difference between authentication and registration requirements. This research aims to supplement the current discourse on the issue by critically identifying the different formal requirements described in various laws, both the long existing Civil Code and the
relatively recent urban and rural land use and administration legislations, and advancing more comprehensive arguments on the issue. To do so, it provides a
theoretical definition of the relevant concepts based on international standards and links these definitions to the definitions given under our law. In addition, it
analyses a few sample court cases decided by the Amhara region Supreme Court as well as offering supplementary information from a few key informants and a
focus group discussion.

«Lo studente riflessivo»: l’uso di dispositivi mobili tra formazione on-the job e PLN (Personal Learning Network)
Creators: name: Cinque, Maria
Publisher: name: Form@re - Open Journal per la formazione in rete
Year: 2013

description: La formazione rivolta ad alcune tipologie di professioni richiede, oltre all’erogazione di contenuti teorici, un periodo di training svolto direttamente sul campo sotto la supervisione di personale esperto. In questa fase l’apprendimento avviene mediante esperienza diretta, sebbene «controllata», e la sua efficacia si basa non semplicemente sull’imitazione di una pratica, ma sul processo metacognitivo che su tale pratica viene attivato. Occorre per questo che il docente o il tutor conduca lo studente nel raggiungimento di capacità riflessive rispetto alla prassi messa in atto. Alcuni progetti di mobile learning svolti in contesti diversi – un policlinico universitario e una scuola alberghiera – hanno dimostrato come l’utilizzo didattico di tecnologie senza fili consenta, da un lato, di rendere esplicita la conoscenza tacita insita nelle attività di training, dall’altro di rendere meno formale l’apprendimento delle materie tradizionali. Attraverso questa prospettiva il mobile learning esce dal contesto puramente istituzionale, identificandosi come mezzo idoneo a supportare i momenti formativi che avvengono più o meno intenzionalmente nella vita quotidiana.

description: Image scoring sustains cooperation in the repeated two-player prisoner's dilemma through indirect reciprocity, even though defection is the uniquely dominant selfish behaviour in the one-shot game. Many real-world dilemma situations, however, firstly, take place in groups and, secondly, lack the necessary transparency to inform subjects reliably of others' individual past actions. Instead, there is revelation of information regarding groups, which allows for `group scoring' but not for image scoring. Here, we study how sensitive the positive results related to image scoring are to information based on group scoring. We combine analytic results and computer simulations to specify the conditions for the emergence of cooperation. We show that under pure group scoring, that is, under the complete absence of image-scoring information, cooperation is unsustainable. Away from this extreme case, however, the necessary degree of image scoring relative to group scoring depends on the population size and is generally very small. We thus conclude that the positive results based on image scoring apply to a much broader range of informational settings that are relevant in the real world than previously assumed.

Nuclear hallucinations: creating the vantage point of tamasha through the use of comic modes and irony in order to destabilise the authoritarian knowledge claims of Indian pro-nuclear documentaries
Creators: name: Nizaruddin, Fathima
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: This practice-based research uses the context of the documentary assertions around the Indian nuclear project to examine how comic modes and irony can be employed to undermine authoritarian knowledge claims that make use of the epistephilic dimensions of the documentary form. An analysis of the pro-nuclear assertions in the documentary narratives of two state institutions in India, Films Division and Vigyan Prasar, was done as part of this enquiry. The diverse ways in which Indian anti-nuclear films engage with these narratives in humorous and ironic ways was also studied. The insights gained from this analysis contributed to the production and circulation of a film I made titled Nuclear Hallucinations, which is centred around the Kudankulam anti-nuclear movement in South India. Through its processes, the research develops a specific configuration of the vantage point of what I call tamasha in order to unsettle the certainty of pro-nuclear knowledge claims in documentary. Nuclear Hallucinations experiments with the use of satirical impersonations, irony, hallucinatory voice-overs and comic appropriation of pronuclear arguments to arrive at strategies that can elicit a response from the realm of tamasha. These experiments are informed by a framework that treats film as a process that goes beyond the limits of the edited film; the sites of engagement created during the production and circulation phases of the film are treated with equal importance. The research argues that the interventions created by the vantage point of tamasha offer new ways to resist the epistemological violence of documentary narratives that privilege the documentary form’s ability to authorize assured knowledge claims.

description: We study the predictions for structure formation in an induced gravity dark energy model with a quartic potential. By developing a dedicated Einstein-Boltzmann code, we study self-consistently the dynamics of homogeneous cosmology and of linear perturbations without using any parametrization. By evolving linear perturbations with initial conditions in the radiation era, we accurately recover the quasi-static analytic approximation in the matter dominated era. We use Planck 2013 data and a compilation of baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) data to constrain the coupling $γ$ to the Ricci curvature and the other cosmological parameters. By connecting the gravitational constant in the Einstein equation to the one measured in a Cavendish-like experiment, we find $γ< 0.0012$ at 95% CL with Planck 2013 and BAO data. This is the tightest cosmological constraint on $γ$ and on the corresponding derived post-Newtonian parameters. Because of a degeneracy between $γ$ and the Hubble constant $H_0$, we show how larger values for $γ$ are allowed, but not preferred at a significant statistical level, when local measurements of $H_0$ are combined in the analysis with Planck 2013 data.

Current Trends in the Legal Research of Ethiopian Law Schools: A Move from Doctrinal to Empirical Legal Research
Creators: name: Mekonnen, Nega Ewunetie
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: This paper examines the priority and culture of non-doctrinal (empirical) legal research in Ethiopian law schools. It explores how legal education in the past and
 the old LL.B. Curriculum affect the nature of legal research in Ethiopian law schools. The author argues that the nature of articles published in Ethiopian law
 journals, term papers, assignments and senior essays written by law students, absence of a course in the old curriculum on legal research, skill oriented and
 interdisciplinary courses contribute much toward having had solely doctrinal legal research. Additionally, this paper shows the current trend of moving from
 the traditional doctrinal legal research to the non-doctrinal (empirical) legal research in Ethiopian law schools. Through examining how the revised LL.B.
 Curriculum, the newly opened LL.M. graduate programs and the attempt to conduct empirical legal research by law instructors contributes to the move to nondoctrinal (empirical) legal research, the challenges of legal research faced by Ethiopian law schools are also revealed. Finally, the author concludes that though there have been some attempts toward positive change, sufficient priority is not given to non-doctrinal (empirical) legal research in Ethiopian law schools.

description: Nonostante i massicci cambiamenti sociali e tecnologici che si sono verificati a causa del Web negli ultimi anni, i corsi universitari spesso enfatizzano metodi di insegnamento da tempo consolidati e basati su strumenti di apprendimento e risorse tradizionali. Durante tali corsi gli studenti spesso acquisiscono una conoscenza che non è aggiornata e che è lontana da un apprendimento realistico, basato su problemi. L'uso di strumenti e metodi più recenti spesso rimane fuori dalla padronanza degli studenti. In questo contributo si descrive brevemente l’impostazione sperimentale di un seminario in due università tedesche dove l’uso di Social Media per la comunicazione e la collaborazione è stato saldamente integrato alla progettazione di un percorso di apprendimento formale. Si illustra, inoltre, l'utilizzo di Twitter durante il seminario, usando metodologie riprese dalla Social Network Analysis.

We find that at thermal equilibrium, the degree of polarization exhibits spatial oscillations with a period of approximately half the optical wavelength, independent of material composition. This result contrasts with that of Setala, Kaivola and Friberg [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 123902 (2002)], who find monotonic decay of the degree of polarization for systems in local thermal equilibrium.

description: In questo articolo presentiamo il progetto WiRoni, che affronta il design tecnologico di artefatti che permettono di accedere ai contenuti Internet in uno spazio pubblico attraverso delle interazioni naturali. Per fare questo abbiamo utilizzato tre tecnologie abilitanti: sensori a ultrasuoni, MEMS e mash-up di applicazioni Internet. Queste tecnologie sono state scelte in base alla natura dell’attività umana, e non viceversa, permettendo un’interazione il più possibile naturale e legata al luogo e all’attività svolta dall’utente. I concetti sui quali il progetto si basa sono Ubiquitous Computing, Tangible User Interface, Pervasive Computing, e Internet of Things, questi vanno tutti nella stessa direzione, cioè che i computer, telefoni e console di gioco non sono più gli unici dispositivi nel nostro ambiente che hanno potenza di calcolo e che offrono la possibilità di essere connessi alla rete Internet. Nell’articolo saranno presentate le scelte tecnologie, che sono alla base del progetto e del concetto delle fontane, che permettono di gestire i servizi legati a WiRoni.

Nature of short high amplitude pulses in a periodic dissipative laminate metamaterial

description: We study the evolution of high amplitude stress pulses in periodic dissipative laminates taking into account the nonlinear constitutive equations of the components and their dissipative behavior. Aluminum and Tungsten laminate was taken as an example due to the large difference in acoustic impedances of aluminum and tungsten, the significant nonlinearity of aluminum constitutive equation at the investigated range of stresses, and its possible practical applications. Laminates with different cell size, which controls internal time scale, impacted by the plates with different thicknesses, determining the incoming pulse duration, were investigated. It has been observed that the ratio of the duration of the incoming pulse to the internal characteristic time determines the nature of the high amplitude dissipative propagating waves, the oscillatory shock like profile, the train of localized pulses or a single localized pulse. These localized quasistationary waves resemble solitary waves even in the presence of dissipation: the similar pulses emerged from different initial conditions, indicating that they are inherent properties of the corresponding laminates, their characteristic length scale is determined by the mesostructural scale and the stress amplitude, and they mostly recover their shapes after collision with phase shift and a linear relationship exists between their speed and amplitude. A theoretical description approximating the shape, length scale and speed of these high amplitude dissipative pulses was proposed based on the Korteweg de Vries type equation with a dispersive term dictated by the mesostructure. The nonlinear term is derived from nonlinear constitutive equations of Aluminum and Tungsten, which were extracted from their Hugoniot curves.

Revisiting the Application of the Ten Year General Period of Limitation: Judicial Discretion to Disregard Art 1845 of the Civil Code
Creators: name: Eshetu, Andualem Lema
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: The period of ten year stipulated in Article 1845 of the Civil Code is widely accepted as a General Period of Limitation (GPoL) and is often applied to all civil
claims irrespective of the origin and nature of obligations unless a special period of limitation has been fixed by law. However, due to the absence of a clear rule
regarding the dimension and scope of its application, the general applicability of Article 1845 has been contested on different occasions. Thus, this article examines the issue of whether the period of ten year is appropriate for all civil claims or not. while assessing the instances where such GPoL could be disregarded by the discretion of the court under the guidance of certain considerations. Accordingly, it canvasses the issue of whether the court should always apply the ten year GPoL by the mere fact that the law provides neither a special period of limitation nor exclusionary rule, or ought there be a little room where the court may apply some other period of limitation to other similar claims by analogy; or exempt certain claims from the subject of limitation before the move to apply Article 1845 of the Civil Code, which is explicitly stipulated for contractual claims. This article concludes that even though the argument advocating for the general application of the ten-year period in the absence of special periods of limitation is a widely shared view, the door should not be totally closed for judicial discretion whereby the period maybe disregarded on the basis of different considerations. However, since the reliance on judicial discretion to override a limitation period would render the law too uncertain, the author maintains that Ethiopia should adopt a separate and relatively comprehensive statute of limitation that clearly provides, inter alia, the dimension and scope of application of the ten year GPoL and lists of claims exempted from the subject of limitation to avoid the misuse of Article 1845 of the Civil Code.

description: The study area situated in the eastern of Black Sea region, (Trabzon) district and occupied the western part of the Kaçkar Batholith. This study aims to study petrological, geochronological and isotopically properties of plutonic rocks. SHRIMP U-Pb age analysis for Gündoğdu and Boğalı plutons,are 85.0 ±2.4Ma (Santonian) and 83.1±2 Ma (Campanian) respectively. Petrographically the Gündoğdu Pluton and Boğalı Pluton vary from granite to monzogranite. The isotopic ratios of 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd of the rocks belonging to the Gündoğdu and Boğalı Plutons are between 0.703552 to 0.711929 and 0.512222 to 0.512084 and range from 0.706097 to 0.706657 and 0.512279 to 0.512341, respectively. Chemical feauters of Gündoğdu and Boğalı pluton rocks indicate to dominant the FC, and magma mixing with minor amount of crustal contamination during the magma generation. The geochemical and isotopical features of Gündoğdu Pluton indicated to magma generated by the partial melting product of metagreywackes and partially amphibolitic rocks whilst the Boğalı Pluton partial melting of amphibolites rocks. The isotopic ratio of Sr–Nd–Pb, major and trace element features of the Gündoğdu pluton not perfectly shares the similar sources of the Boğalı Pluton or other Late Cretaceous Plutons from the region. The values indicate that the Gündoğdu Pluton has character of Iand S type granite and it can classify as hybrid granitoid (H-type) whereas the Boğalı Pluton has features of I-type granite. The Gündoğdu and Boğalı Plutons were formed during the last stage closure of the Neotethyan Ocean as result as a result of extensional arc and slab-roll back model.
Peripheral Alternatives: Media and Tibetan Nationalism in the Chinese Tibetosphere
Creators: name: Li, Dianjing
Publisher: name: University of Westminster

description: This thesis examines the media use in the spreading of Tibetan nationalism in the Chinese Tibetosphere, the struggling land of national politics situated between the two power centres of China and the exiled Tibet. For individual Tibetans on the ground, the small pieces and specific details in everyday life dominate their thoughts and reduce the national motions and political propagandas into the torrent of everyday ordinariness. Conducting the one-year ethnography on Tibetans’ everyday use of Chinese mainstream media (official media) and alternative media (traditional Tibetan communicative platforms, small media and social media) in Tibet Autonomous Region, the study sheds new light on Tibetan nationalism and everyday politics in Tibet, expanding our understanding of individual Tibetans’ positions in the current Sino-Tibetan conflicts. Observing Tibetans creatively and critically using both Chinese mainstream media and alternative media, this research reveals that there is no single force fostering Tibetanness (being Tibetan), nor are the ordinary people mere passive receivers of political gulfs and elite motivations; rather, they are moving between the two power centres on the basis of their own demands: they are restricted and influenced by both parties but not completely attached to any. The drifting, grafting and relocating of Tibetanness is interpreted within the broad context of socio-economic changes in this research. Meanwhile, given the rise of digital capitalism and the resonance between Tibetan nationalism and other active nationalisms in this more connective world, by highlighting cosmopolitan presence with Tibetan presence and Chinese presence in Tibetanness, this research develops Anderson’s Imagined Communities and defines Tibetan nationalism as part of ‘the fifth wave’ of nationalism in the dual system of the nation-states and world capitalism. Juxtaposing with the demand for ‘the right to the centre’ for Tibetans who are living on the edge of the Chinese state and the market economy, this thesis argues to mark the positions of both Tibet and China in the nation-state system and world capitalism, thus to understand Tibetan nationalism and the Sino-Tibetan conflicts in the world context and complex.

Scuolavisione: ipervideo e formazione professionale

Year: 2013

description: Che l’uso dell’immagine possa avere un ruolo interessante nel contesto scolastico non è certo una novità, e più volte la scuola ha tentato – con alterne vicende – di sfruttare questa potenzialità. Lo stesso potremmo dire sia avvenuto con la multimedialità, e in particolare con il ricorso ai collegamenti ipertestuali per riprodurre una logica reticolare piuttosto che lineare. Cosa succede però quando tentiamo di combinare le due possibilità in un’unica soluzione? È possibile integrare in un supporto multimediale materiali audiovisivi e di altro genere? Come è possibile utilizzare tale supporto per l’insegnamento? È lecito aspettarsi degli effetti positivi sull’apprendimento?Da interrogativi come questi nasce Scuolavisione, un progetto che vuole sfruttare la possibilità di rendere interattivi brevi estratti video, al fine di favorire l’apprendimento, realizzando la duplice ambizione di permettere a tutti i docenti di personalizzare e strutturare materiale da utilizzare durante le proprie attività didattiche e di condividere con i colleghi gli stessi materiali. Il contributo presenta nel dettaglio gli strumenti offerti dal progetto e le prospettive future.

Isolation and social support among mothers of medically fragile infants
Creators: name: Leff, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Objectives: To increase knowledge about how isolation and social support are experienced by mothers of medically fragile infants and understand how to better provide care and services to this population. Methods: Qualitative analysis of transcribed interviews with 31 women from the Postpartum Plus Prevention Program (P4) Study, a longitudinal, prospective cohort study of mothers recruited from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Women were interviewed at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months postpartum by a nurse-midwife who provided support and medical advice. Findings: Experiences of social support were diverse and complex. Effective support was tailored and trustworthy. Family was a major source of material and emotional support. Improving interactions with health systems and support services emerged as a need for many of the women. Conclusions: Social support is important for ensuring mothers’ mental and physical wellbeing and providing them with the resources they need to take care of themselves. Public health professionals and health care providers need to be mindful of the unique challenges faced by these mothers when constructing programs and messages to improve interconception health.

Disk-stability constraints on the number of arms in spiral galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A model based on disk-stability criteria to determine the number of spiral arms of a general disk galaxy with an exponential disk, a bulge and a dark halo described by a Hernquist model is presented. The multifold rotational symmetry of the spiral structure can be evaluated analytically once the structural properties of a galaxy, such as the circular speed curve, and the disk surface brightness, are known. By changing the disk mass, these models are aimed at varying the critical length scale parameter of the disk and lead to a different spiral morphology in agreement with prior models. Previous studies based on the swing amplification and disk stability have been applied to constrain the mass-to-light ratio in disk galaxies. This formalism provides an analytic expression to estimate the number of arms expected by swing amplification making its application straight-forward to large surveys. It can be applied to predict the number of arms in the Milky Way as a function of radius and to constrain the mass-to-light ratio in disk galaxies for which photometric and kinematic measurements are available, like in the DiskMass survey. Hence, the halo contribution to the total mass in the inner parts of disk galaxies can be inferred in light of the ongoing and forthcoming surveys.
