description: In \cite{GrOrang}, Gromov asks the following question: given a nullhomotopic map $f:S^m \to S^n$ of Lipschitz constant $L$, how does the Lipschitz constant of an optimal nullhomotopy of $f$ depend on $L$, $m$, and $n$? We establish that for fixed $m$ and $n$, the answer is at worst quadratic in $L$. More precisely, we construct a nullhomotopy whose \emph{thickness} (Lipschitz constant in the space variable) is $C(m,n)(L+1)$ and whose \emph{width} (Lipschitz constant in the time variable) is $C(m,n)(L+1)^2$. More generally, we prove a similar result for maps $f:X \to Y$ for any compact Riemannian manifold $X$ and $Y$ a compact simply connected Riemannian manifold in a class which includes complex projective spaces, Grassmannians, and all other simply connected homogeneous spaces. Moreover, for all simply connected $Y$, asymptotic restrictions on the size of nullhomotopies are determined by rational homotopy type.

description: Recent progress on saliency detection is substantial, benefiting mostly from the explosive development of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Semantic segmentation and saliency detection algorithms developed lately have been mostly based on Fully Convolutional Neural Networks (FCNs). There is still a large room for improvement over the generic FCN models that do not explicitly deal with the scale-space problem. Holistically-Nested Edge Detector (HED) provides a skip-layer structure with deep supervision for edge and boundary detection, but the performance gain of HED on salience detection is not obvious. In this paper, we propose a new method for saliency detection by introducing short connections to the skip-layer structures within the HED architecture. Our framework provides rich multi-scale feature maps at each layer, a property that is critically needed to perform segment detection. Our method produces state-of-the-art results on 5 widely tested salient object detection benchmarks, with advantages in terms of efficiency (0.15 seconds per image), effectiveness, and simplicity over the existing algorithms.

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

description: In this study, a two-stage process was conducted. The first stage was carrying out for the activation process of Peanut shell powder at different temperatures and concentrations to select the optimum parameters. The second stage was bleaching of Niger seed oil using the chosen activated peanut shell powder adsorbent. The peanut shell collected from Sululta, Ethiopia was activated by phosphoric acid, and further bleaching experiments were conducted to assess the activated powders effect on the bleaching capacity of Niger seed oil. The Two key parameters of the acid activation process were acid concentration and activation temperature. The highest bleaching capacity was obtained around 3M acid concentration and at 350 o C of activation temperature as optimal activation. The PSP and PAAPSP at optimal condition were characterized by XRD, FTIR and SEM with EDS. The results of the XRD showed that the PSP is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin polysaccharide. The XRD analysis of PAAPSP illustrated the presence of crystalline carbonaceous structure and different alumino silicate minerals. X-ray and FTIR data confirmed that acid activation degrades cellulose. The results of the analysis by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) showed that, presence of carbon, oxygen, silica, alumina and phosphorous. Full factorial Box Behnken design (BBD) experimental design was employed to correlate the bleaching parameters (temperature, time and dosage of PAAPSP) to the percentage color reduction for Niger seed. The result showed that the optimum condition for the bleaching process was a temperature of 110 o C, a period of 20 minutes and 3% PAAPSP dosage which resulted in 88.02% bleaching performance of the Niger seed oil. The experimental result was in agreement with the model prediction. Generally, the study has shown that the phosphoric acid activated peanut shell powder is a good adsorbent for the bleaching of the Niger seed oil. This research has further established that acid activated peanut shell powder has the capacity to remove not only pigments but also reduce the free fatty acid and peroxide value of unbleached oil.

description: Prescription of PCSK9-inhibitors has increased in recent years but not much is known about its off-target effects. PCSK9-expression is evident in non-hepatic tissues, notably the brain, and genetic variation in the PCSK9 locus has recently been shown to be associated with mood disorder-related traits. We investigated whether PCSK9 inhibition, proxied by a genetic reduction in expression of PCSK9 mRNA, might have a causal adverse effect on mood disorder-related traits. We used genetic variants in the PCSK9 locus associated with reduced PCSK9 expression (eQTLs) in the European population from GTEx v8 and examined the effect on PCSK9 protein levels and three mood disorder-related traits (major depressive disorder, mood instability, and neuroticism), using summary statistics from the largest European ancestry genome-wide association studies. We conducted summary-based Mendelian randomization analyses to estimate the causal effects, and attempted replication using data from eQTLGen, Brain-eMETA, and the CAGE consortium. We found that genetically reduced PCSK9 gene-expression levels were significantly associated with reduced PCSK9 protein levels but not with increased risk of mood disorder-related traits. Further investigation of nearby genes demonstrated that reduced USP24 gene-expression levels was significantly associated with increased risk of mood instability (p-value range = 5.2x10-5-0.03), and neuroticism score (p-value range = 2.9x10-5-0.02), but not with PCSK9 protein levels. Our results suggest that genetic variation in this region acts on mood disorders through a PCSK9-independent pathway, and therefore PCSK9-inhibitors are unlikely to have an adverse impact on mood disorder-related traits.

description: Refugee Youth Mentoring and Engagement (RYME) is a mentorship program established in 2018 to address the challenges facing refugee youth and families living in Highland Park, NJ. This evidence-based program matches students at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University with local refugee youth to create an individualized mentorship experience. An informal needs assessment based on discussions with refugee families reveals a dearth of support services for youth. A comprehensive literature review details the psychosocial stressors most often facing refugee families. This two-pronged investigation identifies six primary unaddressed needs of the refugee youth in Highland Park: acculturation, family dynamics, English language learning, academics, social isolation, and discrimination. This dissertation provides a review of the relevant literature instrumental in designing the program. The development of RYME, including partnerships with other community organizations, implementation of evidence-based practices, and a detailed curriculum, is presented. The execution of the pilot project is described in detail, followed by a synthesis of the contents of the mentoring sessions. Particular attention is given to the challenges in program design and implementation that arose with the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. While it is outside the scope of this manuscript to examine the efficacy of RYME, a program evaluation plan is outlined. An assessment would focus on measuring the extent to which the program addresses the six areas of need. Particular attention is paid to ethical considerations, both as they relate to the mentoring program itself, as well as the proposed method of evaluation. Findings regarding each of the six targeted needs are contextualized within the literature and compared to extant practices and theories. The manuscript discusses the confounds and limitations of the program design, implementation, and evaluation. Finally, it explores the implications for future iterations of RYME and the potential replicability of the program. This dissertation harnesses theoretical foundations, practical experience, and an innovative protocol to inform future interventions and program models for supporting youth in the refugee community.

description: We analyze the Randal Sundrum brane-world inflation scenario in the context of the latest CMB constraints from Planck. We summarize constraints on the most popular classes of models and explore some more realistic inflaton effective potentials. The constraint on standard inflationary parameters changes in the brane-world scenario. We confirm that in general the brane-world scenario increases the tensor-to-scalar ratio, thus making this paradigm less consistent with the Planck constraints. Indeed, when the BICEP2/Keck constraints are included, all monomial potentials in the brane-world scenario become disfavored compared to the standard scenario. However, for natural inflation the brane-world scenario fits the constraints better due to larger allowed values of the number of e-foldings N before the end of inflation in the brane-world.

description: Phase space dynamics in classical mechanics is described by transport along trajectories. Anharmonic quantum mechanical systems do not allow for a trajectory-based description of their phase space dynamics. This invalidates some approaches to quantum phase space studies. We first demonstrate the absenceof trajectories in general terms. We then give an explicit proof for all quantum phase space distributions with negative values: we show that the generation of coherences in anharmonic quantum mechanical systems is responsible for the occurrence of singularities in their phase space velocity fields, and vice versa. This explains numerical problems repeatedly reported in the literature, and provides deeper insight into the nature of quantum phase space dynamics.

description: We experimentally created a particle size dataset that is based on reduction sequences and raw materials typical of the Middle and Later Stone Age in southern Africa. The reason for creating this new dataset is that current particle size frameworks are based, almost exclusively, on flint and western European knapping methods. We produced the dataset using knapping methods and raw materials frequently encountered in the southern African archaeological record because we wanted to test whether it has the same distribution as particle size datasets experimentally created in Europe, and to initialise the production of a database for use in the analysis of lithic assemblages from southern African Late Pleistocene deposits. We reduced 117 cores of quartz, quartzite, jasper, chalcedony, hornfels, and rhyolite. The knapping methods selected were unidirectional, discoidal, Levallois recurrent and bipolar flaking. In this article we compare this new particle size distribution dataset with the results obtained from previous experiments. We found that the southern African dataset shows a wider size range distribution, which seems to be explained by differences in knapping methods and raw materials. Our results show that there is overlap between the distribution of the southern African experimental knapping dataset and the sorting experiment conducted by Lenoble on flint artefacts in a runoff context. This article shows that a particle size analysis is not sufficient on its own to assess the perturbation of an archaeological assemblage and must be coupled with other analytical tools.

description: This study has been conducted with an objective to asses' consumer satisfaction on ATM in the Ethiopian banking industry. The analysis of this study was made based on a case study on OIB customers in Addis Ababa city. The study was conducted based on data collected from customers and management of the bank through questionnaires and unstructured interview. The questions were focused to evaluate the extent of customer satisfaction regarding ATM services of the bank in five service quality dimensions that included tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy towards ATMs. Moreover, to achieve the research objective the research adopted a descriptive research design; using both qualitative and quantitative approach. The designed questionnaires were distributed to 200 ATM card users of the bank. Source of data was primary; primary data were collected by using 5-point Likert-Scale. The samples were selected from five different city branches location by purposively sampling technique. Using SPSS, descriptive statistics, correlation, one sample t-test and anova are used to analyze the data. The research finding shows that that OIB ATM customer's level of satisfaction was positive, even though, customers were not happy with some of ATM attributes like promptness in replacement of lost ATM cards, ATM out of order, return of swallowed ATM card, insufficient number of ATM, inaccessibility of ATM and employee to solve ATM related issues and inconvenience of ATM locations. Moreover, the survey result also implied that the management of the bank to pay attention for training and developing staffs' skill in using ATM services in addition to installing the ATM in appropriate and accessible places.

description: Periodic Hamiltonians on a three-dimensional (3-D) lattice with a spectral gap not only on the bulk but also on two edges at the common Fermi level are considered. By using K-theory applied for the quarter-plane Toeplitz extension, two topological invariants are defined. One is defined for the gapped bulk and edge Hamiltonians, and the non-triviality of the other means that the corner Hamiltonian is gapless. A correspondence between these two invariants is proved. Such gapped Hamiltonians can be constructed from Hamiltonians of 2-D type A and 1-D type AIII topological insulators, and its corner topological invariant is the product of topological invariants of these two phases.

description: Device-independent randomness generation and quantum key distribution protocols rely on a fundamental relation between the non-locality of quantum theory and its random character. This relation is usually expressed in terms of a trade-off between the probability of guessing correctly the outcomes of measurements performed on quantum systems and the amount of violation of a given Bell inequality. However, a more accurate assessment of the randomness produced in Bell experiments can be obtained if the value of several Bell expressions is simultaneously taken into account, or if the full set of probabilities characterizing the behavior of the device is considered. We introduce protocols for device-independent randomness generation, secure against classical side information, that rely on the estimation of an arbitrary number of Bell expressions or even directly on the experimental frequencies of measurement outcomes. Asymptotically, this results in an optimal generation of randomness from experimental data (as measured by the min-entropy), without having to assume beforehand that the devices violate a specific Bell inequality.

The effect of job satisfaction on employees' turnover intention in the case of ethio telecom
Creators: name: Wondirad, Bitew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The main purpose of the study was to examine the effects of job satisfaction on employees' turnover intention of ethio telecom. The study employed descriptive survey method. The data used were primary and secondary data. The sampling method was purposive and simple random sampling. The study used close ended self-administered questionnaire which is designed to collect quantitative data. The questionnaire design includes 4 items of demography, 14 dimensions of job satisfaction with 56 items and turnover intention with 4 items. Independent and dependent variables' items utilized five Point Likert-scales. A total of 371 questionnaires were administered and 321were analyzed with a response rate of 86.52%.The reliability and validity test were done before analyzing the data. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis using SPSS 20(Statistical Package for Social Science). Ten factors of job satisfaction; achievement, recognition, responsibility, advancement, growth, compensation, work conditions, job security, status and communication were found low employee satisfaction at ethio telecom. In addition three factors; supervision, co-workers, and Policies were moderate level of satisfaction. The study also found ethio telecom employees have moderate level of intention to leave the company. The other finding was that all factors of job satisfaction except job status have negative relationship with turnover intention. Besides this, all factors of job satisfaction were found to be significantly associated with turnover intention except policy and job status. Furthermore, the study found that all factors of job satisfaction explained 32.2% of turnover intention. Since this model explains only 32.2% of the dependent variable that reveals the model is weak. Among these predictors; achievement, Compensation, job security, and Supervision have contributed relatively high impact to the variation of turnover intention. Therefore, to increase employee satisfaction level and to reduce turnover intention the policy makers and/or ethio telecom management must focus to improve the factors of job satisfaction that have high impact on turnover intention.

Exploring the nature of Pedagogical Equilibrium
Creators: name: Mansfield, Jennifer Louise
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis explores how during the everyday routines of teaching, teachers are confronted by moments of surprise, confusion or perplexity. It is through these moments that teachers discover conflicts between their beliefs, understandings and the context in which they operate. The moment of conflict is characterised by feelings of uncertainty which may spark inquiry and result in learning. The human tendency is to hurry through these experiences of uncertainty as they cause discomfort, however it is through these experiences of interruption that reflection and new learning may emerge. Pedagogical Discontent has been described as a way of framing and describing such situations, where teachers are unable to enact their goals for teaching due to a variety of reasons. This study sought to explore the nature of Pedagogical Discontent and the ways teachers sought to manage their feelings of discontent. Fifteen primary and secondary school teachers were interviewed and asked to recall examples of Pedagogical Discontent that they had experienced during their daily routines of teaching. The study found that interruptions, or episodes of unrest, primarily arose due to something the teachers did (internal factors) or something that manifested within a teacher’s context and thus happened to the teacher (external factors). Such interruptions could also occur over a prolonged period due to an ongoing expectation or simmering tension, such as the school based or curricular expectations and constraints. Four broad areas in which teachers predominately experienced interruptions were identified. These areas were related to: subject matter knowledge; organising for teaching (pedagogical approaches); organising for learning (understanding and addressing student needs); and, managing student behaviour and attitudes. The study found that interruptions prompted teachers to search for a more certain state and thus resulted in the proposal of a new construct, Pedagogical Equilibrium. Pedagogical Equilibrium is a way of conceptualising the complex process from perception of the existence of an interruption, through how the teacher reacted and managed the uncertainty, to the resultant learning. The findings of this study suggest that teachers are constantly searching for a state of Pedagogical Equilibrium as they seek to manage problematic situations with which they are confronted and in so doing, their professional knowledge of practice develops.

description: We analyse a model of the phosphorus cycle in the ocean given by Slomp and Van Cappellen (2007, https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-4-155-2007). This model contains four distinct oceanic basins and includes relevant parts of the water, carbon and oxygen cycles. We show that the model can essentially be solved analytically, and its behaviour completely understood without recourse to numerical methods. In particular, we show that, in the model, the carbon and phosphorus concentrations in the different ocean reservoirs are all slaved to the concentration of soluble reactive phosphorus in the deep ocean, which relaxes to an equilibrium on a time scale of 180,000 y, and we show that the deep ocean is either oxic or anoxic, depending on a critical parameter which we can determine explicitly. Finally, we examine how the value of this critical parameter depends on the physical parameters contained in the model. The presented methodology is based on tools from applied mathematics and can be used to reduce the complexity of other large, biogeochemical models.

A su vez desde la metodología cualitativa y el uso de entrevistas semiestructuradas se comprenden y analizan las relaciones familiares entre los diferente subgrupos, antes y durante la pandemia, los conflictivos que permanecen y otros desatados a razón del confinamiento en casa y las nuevas medidas de contención del virus, todo ello desde un enfoque de género, que permitió conocer las relaciones asimétricas entre sus miembros dada la naturalización y normalización de prácticas patriarcales en las familias. Por último se resaltan las estrategias de afrontamiento construidas desde las familias para enfrentar algunas demandas y solventar necesidades básicas, como la alimentación, recurriendo al trabajo informal o la cría de animales de engorde en sus viviendas, junto con la siembra de algunos cultivos; así también afrontan algunas demandas emergentes en este tiempo de pandemia, como el cuidado de los niños, niñas y adultos mayores, la división de las labores en el hogar, la atención a la salud, actividades que recaen principalmente en las mujeres.
Irrational methods suggest indecomposability and emergence

Indecomposability

description: AbstractThis paper offers a practical argument for metaphysical emergence. The main message is that the growing reliance on so-called irrational scientific methods provides evidence that objects of science are indecomposable and as such, are better described by metaphysical emergence as opposed to the prevalent reductionistic metaphysics. I show that a potential counterargument that science will eventually reduce everything to physics has little weight given where science is heading with its current methodological trend. I substantiate my arguments by detailed examples from biological engineering, but the conclusions are extendable beyond that discipline.

description: The advent of language implementation tools such as PyPy and Truffle/Graal have reinvigorated and broadened interest in topics related to automatic compiler generation and optimization. Given this broader interest, we revisit the Futamura Projections using a novel diagram scheme. Through these diagrams we emphasize the recurring patterns in the Futamura Projections while addressing their complexity and abstract nature. We anticipate that this approach will improve the accessibility of the Futamura Projections and help foster analysis of those new tools through the lens of partial evaluation.

description: The majority of organizations realize that training must be a worthwhile effort; there must be returns towards labor productivity after training. Evaluation is possibly the least developed aspect of the training cycle. The principal objective of this research study is to identify the practices and challenges of training impact assessment in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. For this study, sample survey research method has been chosen where the questionnaire was used to collect the information. The research approach applied for this study was quantitative and qualitative approach in nature, the data that were collected using primary data sources were analyzed and summarized by using tables, mean and standard deviation and analyzed using descriptive statistics for the general information and employees' perception; and interview report was summarized. The major finding of the study shows since behavioral and result evaluation models would provide training managers with the idea of what is training evaluation on a systematic approach however the aspect of training measurement method was not well explored or detailed. And also these models have not reached a stage of clarity for in-depth training evaluation to be carried out. Based on the conclusion made, recommendation for Commercial bank Ethiopia is proposed to make possible effort in exploring systematic approach and detailed method for behavioral and result training evaluation models to make clarity for in-depth training evaluation to be carried out. And also the organization has to develop the capability of the existing experts which are equipped in conducting TIA.
The role of value alignment in engagement and (dis)engagement in mathematics learning

description: Disengagement in mathematics education has been a growing concern in Australia and internationally. Lowered engagement with mathematics has many consequences, such as creating a need to fill occupations that require the use of high level mathematics, reducing the range of higher education courses available to students through exclusion from courses requiring specific levels of mathematics, and limiting one’s capacity to understand life from a mathematical perspective. This study aims to examine the student values that support and inhibit their engagement in primary mathematics lessons and how the interaction between teachers’ values expressed in classroom practice and students’ values impact on (dis)engagement in primary mathematics learning. The research design is mainly qualitative in nature. The study involved four participant teachers (two from each of two participating primary schools), and 16 of their students (eight from each participating school). Case studies were then conducted involving discussions, lesson observations, and interviews. A conclusive research method that could be used to determine an individual’s values has not yet been determined. In this study, a decision was made to study behaviors that suggested value orientations of each participant. When there was a change in activity during a lesson, behaviors were particularly noted that suggested value orientations. Four strategies are suggested from this study that teachers use to align value orientation with students in an attempt to engage or reengage learners: scaffolding, equilibrium, intervention, and refuge. Each strategy refers to the amount of values that a teacher retains during a critical incident, and how the conflict is solved to create a harmonious working environment. This study supports the notions that disengagement is not a permanent state, and the term “situated engagement” is suggested. The student participants observed in this study showed signs of engagement and disengagement that depended on their value orientations and the classroom practice. This finding questions the usefulness of labelling students as “disengaged,” for example, as this state fluctuates. Therefore, in this study the term “(dis)engaged” was adopted instead. The aligned value orientations of the teacher and the students suggest effective classroom practice that promotes engagement in mathematics learning.

From words on the wall, to words with meaning: the articulation of the development of teacher knowledge during the development of teaching procedures to enhance student understanding of molecular biological concepts.

description: This thesis outlines in detail how, as a classroom Biology teacher, I studied my teaching and my students’ learning in biology. A variety of teaching procedures were developed and explored with the aim of making explicit, the specific biological terminology that is required to learn and communicate understanding of molecular biological concepts. Inclusion of these teaching procedures into classroom instruction provided students with an opportunity to share and communicate their thinking. They also helped students increase awareness of their own learning, in terms of not just what they did and did not know, but also through the ways in which they could further enhance, communicate and manage their own learning. In the process of the development of these teaching procedures, my learning journey and the development of my professional knowledge of practice was extensively documented. The new knowledge and awareness I gained impacted both my thinking and my actions. The thesis therefore provides evidence of how, as a teacher, I learnt to articulate and make explicit the development of my teacher knowledge, and illustrates not only what it looks like, but how it was formed, shaped and extended. As such, the thesis makes clear what it means to capture and portray a teacher’s professional knowledge of practice in ways very different from that which currently exists in the research literature. As a consequence, the thesis contributes to deeper understandings of teaching subject-specific content (e.g., molecular biology) and to the research on teacher knowledge in the broader educational community.
