Creators: name: Abdurehim, Hamid
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this study is to assess The Role of Performance Management Practice on Employee Productivity in East Africa Bottling Share Company (EABSC). The study was guided by four research questions which seek to answers whether the existing performance management practice of the company affects employee productivity or not. The study adopted an explanatory research design. Out of 411 target population a sample size of 203 was taken using Taro Yemani's statistical formula and responses of 199 employees were analysed. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and the data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). From statistical tools, Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression were used to investigate the relationship and effect of performance management practice on employee productivity. The data was presented using tables, pie charts, and bars. The major finding of this study is that the independent variables, which are performance appraisal, performance based reward system and performance feedback from the process of performance management practice have positive and significantly high association and effect on employee productivity. From study, it is concluded that the performance management practice of the company has positive effect on employee productivity but in relation to performance based rewards the company doesn't give adequate incentive for high performing employees and bonus is not granted based on individual employee performance contribution. Hence, it is recommended that, the company should provide incentive which is adequate to reward higher performance and increased productivity and should link bonus with individual employee performance. Key Terms: Performance management, Performance appraisal, Performance based reward system, Performance Feedback and Employee productivity.

description: In this paper, we study the impact of the base station (BS) idle mode capability (IMC) on the network performance in dense small cell networks (SCNs). Different from existing works, we consider a sophisticated path loss model incorporating both line-of-sight (LoS) and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) transmissions. Analytical results are obtained for the coverage probability and the area spectral efficiency (ASE) performance for SCNs with IMCs at the BSs. The upper bound, the lower bound and the approximate expression of the activated BS density are also derived. The performance impact of the IMC is shown to be significant. As the BS density surpasses the UE density, thus creating a surplus of BSs, the coverage probability will continuously increase toward one. For the practical regime of the BS density, the results derived from our analysis are distinctively different from existing results, and thus shed new light on the deployment and the operation of future dense SCNs.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Given limited evidence on economic impacts of health shocks on households in South Asia the thesis examined the issues using both cross-sectional and longitudinal household surveys from the region applying econometric analyses. The thesis found that health shocks in the form of adult deaths and major illness including non-communicable diseases and traffic injuries incurred significant out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure and reduced household labour supply and earnings in the short-run with negative consequences for child nutrition and education. The negative consequences persist in the long-run, but with lower magnitude than in the short-run. The thesis warrants policy attention for the health shocks-affected households through improved access to healthcare services and social protection benefits.

description: Quantum computers will eventually reach a size at which quantum error correction becomes imperative. Quantum information can be protected from qubit imperfections and flawed control operations by encoding a single logical qubit in multiple physical qubits. This redundancy allows the extraction of error syndromes and the subsequent detection or correction of errors without destroying the logical state itself through direct measurement. Here we show the encoding and syndrome measurement of a fault-tolerant logical qubit via an error detection protocol on four physical qubits, represented by trapped atomic ions. This demonstrates for the first time the robustness of a fault-tolerant qubit to imperfections in the very operations used to encode it. The advantage persists in the face of large added error rates and experimental calibration errors.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of reward management (HRM) practices on employee retention in Ethiopian Airlines based in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Possible relationships between Reward Management practices, and employee retention are discussed. A total of 291 employees were examined through questionnaire and then empirically tested using SPSS V 20. Both descriptive and inferential analysis was done to analyze the responses. The results show that Reward Management practices have a direct effect on employee retention. The questionnaire results show that there is a significant correlation between reward system and retention with the eight independent variables. Namely, Pay, Benefits, Recognition, Responsibility, Promotion, Working Environment, Training and Development, Meaningful Work, shows positive correlation with the dependent variable retention. From out of the independent variables the one that has the strongest effect on employee retention is Pay. Therefore, this study has provided new insight into Reward Management practices and employee retention, getting to the heart of the role that independent variables, particularly pay, play in the network of relationships. Considering the major findings from the research, it is recommended that management put in place structures that will bring about an improvement in the salaries of workers

On the origin and the amplitude of T-square resistivity in Fermi liquids

description: In 1937, Baber, Landau and Pomeranchuk postulated that collisions between electrons generates a contribution to the electric resistivity of metals with a distinct T$^2$ temperature dependence. The amplitude of this term is small in common metals, but dominant in metals hosting either heavy carriers or a low concentration of them. The link between the temperature dependence and the size of the scattering phase space is straightforward, but not the microscopic source of dissipation. To explain how electron-electron collisions lead to momentum leak, Umklapp events or multiple electron reservoirs have been invoked. This interpretation is challenged by a number of experimental observations: the persistence of T-square resistivity in dilute metals (in which the two mechanisms are irrelevant), the successful extension of Kadowaki-Woods scaling to dilute metals, and the observation of a size-dependent T-square thermal resistivity ($T/κ$) and its Wiedemann-Franz (WF) correlation with T-square electrical resistivity. This paper argues that much insight is provided by the case of normal liquid $^3$He where the T-square temperature dependence of energy and momentum diffusivity is driven by fermion-fermion collisions. The amplitude of T-square resistivity in $^3$He and in metals share a common scaling. Thus, the ubiquitous T-square electrical resistivity ultimately stems from the Fermi-liquid temperature dependence of momentum diffusivity.

description: In light of high SARS-CoV-2 infection numbers, policies to minimize its spread are necessary. Measures aiming to reduce contacts have proven to be an effective tool, but require the cooperation of the population to be effective. This support can only be achieved through clear communication.
 In order to inform decision-makers and increase the public's openness to contact-reducing measures, thereby decreasing the spread of the pandemic, we have developed the following publicly available dashboard: https://contactindex.netcheck.de/.
 We feature a unique metric, the contact-index, that has previously been proven to be correlated to the effective reproduction number. It is based on pings of anonymous mobile app users, which corrects the raw number of contacts by weighting in secondary contacts, akin to the so-called friendship paradox. We also feature infection data spanning the whole length of the pandemic, with many interactive tools in order to create a comprehensible overview of the progression of SARS-CoV-2. To be more educational for a general audience, we include explanations of the data and relevant scientific terms. Furthermore, we use colorblind-friendly coloring schemes throughout the dashboard to increase accessibility. Our solution is based on plotly.js in order to be highly adaptable to different types of data and regions but still maintain a high performance. By being the first German dashboard to visualize the impact of contacts on the spread of COVID-19, we believe that policy-makers can more easily see the usefulness of current interventions and make informed decisions for the future.

description: In many binary classification applications such as disease diagnosis and spam detection, practitioners often face great needs to control type I errors (i.e., the conditional probability of misclassifying a class 0 observation as class 1) so that it remains below a desired threshold. To address this need, the Neyman-Pearson (NP) classification paradigm is a natural choice; it minimizes type II error (i.e., the conditional probability of misclassifying a class 1 observation as class 0) while enforcing an upper bound, $α$, on the type I error. Although the NP paradigm has a century-long history in hypothesis testing, it has not been well recognized and implemented in classification schemes. Common practices that directly limit the empirical type I error to no more than $α$ do not satisfy the type I error control objective because the resulting classifiers are still likely to have type I errors much larger than $α$. As a result, the NP paradigm has not been properly implemented for many classification scenarios in practice. In this work, we develop the first umbrella algorithm that implements the NP paradigm for all scoring-type classification methods, including popular methods such as logistic regression, support vector machines and random forests. Powered by this umbrella algorithm, we propose a novel graphical tool for NP classification methods: NP receiver operating characteristic (NP-ROC) bands, motivated by the popular receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. NP-ROC bands will help choose $α$ in a data adaptive way and compare different NP classifiers. We demonstrate the use and properties of the NP umbrella algorithm and NP-ROC bands, available in the R package nproc, through simulation and real data case studies.

description: We propose an auto-encoder (AE) trained on healthy bone marrow cells to classify cells in single-cell cytometry AML samples as malignant or healthy. We set a threshold on the mean-squared reconstruction error of marker expression for each cell; high error would lead to classification as malignant. Additionally, the latent space of the auto-encoder captures the developmental trajectory of the bone marrow and can be used to assign cell types to the single cells. Combining the classification and the cell type assignment we can predict the percentage of malignant cells and developmental stage for the majority of samples.

Year: 2017

description: This study has aimed at examining the effect of Internal Recruitment and Selection practice on Job satisfaction. In the process, however, the practices of Internal Recruitment and Selection per see as well as the level of Job satisfaction in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia are assessed. Two districts in Addis Ababa area were singled out where grade 3 and grade 4 branches from each district were purposely selected for their higher level of transaction and bigger number of cases of Internal Recruitment and Selection. The number of individual respondents was determined using a scientific formula while proration is made proportionally for each selected branch. In addition to these sample members that responded to questionnaires, Director/District HR Business managers were also contacted for a semi structured interview. The data obtained by using the questionnaire were fed into the appropriate worksheet in the SPSS software where they were edited. Descriptive analyses have been substantially about the mean value of each dimension of Internal Recruitment and Selection as well as Job satisfaction on the one hand and correlation between the same dimensions and Job satisfaction. However, contexts for triangulation have been used from the data obtained from interview and various pertinent documents. Finally, explanatory analyses to gauge the effect of Internal Recruitment and Selection practices on Job satisfaction have been conducted by applying simple linear regression. Finally, it has been found out that the Internal Recruitment and Selection practice was not up to the standard as evident from a moderate level of rating for each of its dimensions. In addition, the study revealed that not only did each dimension of internal recruitment and selection have a strong correlation with job satisfaction but also the effect of Internal Recruitment and Selection (an, thereby the entirety of Internal Recruitment and Selection) ranged from moderate to high. Finally, the researcher suggested improvements on each dimension of Internal Recruitment and Selection by enhancing the process and structure issues. Among others, enhanced transparency on the process, training for line managers and enriched feedback system were emphasized

description: It is known that an object translating parallel to a soft wall in a viscous fluid produces hydro- dynamic stresses that deform the wall, which, in turn, results in a lift force on the object. Recent experiments with cylinders sliding under gravity near a soft incline, which confirmed theoretical arguments for the lift force, also reported an unexplained steady-state rotation of the cylinders [Saintyves et al. PNAS 113(21), 2016]. Motivated by these observations, we show, in the lubrication limit, that an infinite cylinder that translates in a viscous fluid parallel to a soft wall at constant speed and separation distance must also rotate in order to remain free of torque. Using the Lorentz reciprocal theorem, we show analytically that for small deformations of the elastic layer, the angular velocity of the cylinder scales with the cube of the sliding speed. These predictions are confirmed numerically. We then apply the theory to the gravity-driven motion of a cylinder near a soft incline and find qualitative agreement with the experimental observations, namely that a softer elastic layer results in a greater angular speed of the cylinder.

Subjects: Evolutionary biology not elsewhere classified

description: Coenosopsia Malloch has eight known species distributed from southern North America to south-eastern South America. The species of the genus are morphologically very homogeneous, and major differences remain in male terminalia. Remarkably, two of the main diagnostic characteristics of Anthomyiidae are absent in this genus: the setulae on the ventral surface of the scutellum and vein A1 reaching the wing margin. Some studies have attempted to propose biogeographical narratives, primarily for the Neotropical distribution of the genus. Herein, we describe three new species of Coenosopsia from north-eastern Brazil (Coenosopsia limeirai sp. nov.), southern Brazil (Coenosopsia ribeiroi sp. nov.), and central Mexico (Coenosopsia azteca sp. nov.) and present an identification key. In addition, we present an updated phylogenetic analysis based on morphological evidence, which recovered Coenosopsia as monophyletic based on five synapomorphies and four homoplasies. We also presented the first biogeographical hypothesis of Coenosopsia based on biogeographic methods (ancestral reconstruction character and S-DIVA analyses), which indicated a Mesoamerican origin of the genus.

description: Objectives: This study tested whether the presence of a firearm changed the way people reacted to police among a British sample. Method: In an online study, participants were shown images of armed and unarmed police and rated them on a number of variables. Some participants were primed to think about terrorism, and some participants were exposed to more armed police than others. Results: Participants had more negative responses to police when they were armed. We found no effect of the terrorism prime on people’s reactions to images of armed police and no effect of exposure. Yet, unexpectedly, we found a negative effect of the terrorism prime on trust and legitimacy. Conclusions: In a country where police have never before been routinely armed, this research raises important questions about how armed police can retain the public’s support when they may no longer be considered ‘prototypical representatives’ of the British people.
The Effect of Internal Communication on Employees Engagement: The Case of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE)
Creators: name: Gossaye, Biruk
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: This research was conducted to examine the effect of internal communication on employees' engagement on Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE). Data was gathered from 287 employees working at Head Office, District Offices and six special branches found in Addis Ababa. Internal communication is measured by using variables Superior -Subordinate communication relationship, Quality of information, Opportunity for upward communication and Reliability of Information, whereas the dependent variable, employees' engagement is measured by using three dimensions: Vigor, dedication and absorption. The mean and standard deviation of internal communication and employee engagement were computed and interpreted. Pearson correlation Coefficient (r) was used to determine the relationship between each independent variable with the dependent variable employees engagement. The descriptive statistics result shows that employees perceive moderate level of all engagement and for variables of internal communication. The finding indicates that there is significant and positive relationship between internal communication and employee engagement. This implies that any increase or decrease on variables of internal communication will bring corresponding change on employees' engagement. Further in this study internal communication has 30 % influence on employees' engagement while the remaining 70 % is influenced by factors unaccounted in this research. Furthermore, it is found that variables of internal communication predicts employee engagement positively through quality of information (B=.187, P<.018), superior subordinate communication relationship (B=.0181, P<.003), opportunity to upward communication (B=.160,P<.022)and reliability of information(B=.136, P<.063).Considering the findings above, the Bank should give priority for quality of information and go down through other variables of internal communication according to the magnitude of their Beta Value. Of course not neglecting their significance value also. In this study, opportunity to upward communication ranked at the third position and it is highly suffered in CATS process. As a result, since more than 73% of employees are working in this process, top management should also give special focus for this variable in CATS process to attain sound improvement in overall internal communication practice of the Bank

description: Background: This project spanning six years tested the hypothesis that computer-aided decision support during the first 30 minutes of trauma resuscitation reduces management errors. Methods: This was a prospective, open, randomized controlled, interventional study that evaluated the effect of real time, computer prompted, evidence-based decision and action algorithms on error occurrence during the initial resuscitation of severely injured adults. The primary outcome variable was the ‘error rate per patient treated’ as demonstrated by deviation from trauma care algorithms. Computer assisted video audit was used to assess adherence to the algorithms. Results: A total of 1171 patients were recruited into three groups – 300 into a Baseline Control Group, 436 into a concurrent Control Group and 435 into the Study Group. There was a reduction in error rate per patient from the Baseline Control Group to the Study Group (2.53 to 2.13, p=0.004) and between the Control Group to the Study Group (2.30 to 2.13, p=0.042). The difference in error rate per patient between the Baseline Control Group and the concurrent Control Group was not statistically different (2.53 to 2.30, p=0.210). A critical decision was required every 72 seconds and error free resuscitations were increased from 16% to 21.8% (p=0.049) during the first 30 minutes of resuscitation. Morbidity from shock management (p< 0.025), blood use (p< 0.0001) and aspiration pneumonia (p=0.046) were decreased. Conclusions: This was the first study to demonstrate that computer-aided, real time decision support used by experienced trauma teams resulted in improved protocol compliance and reduced errors and morbidity.

description: Severe levels of attrition in rape cases within the criminal justice system are widely recognised. Previous reviews (e.g. Hohl & Stanko, 2015. Complaints of rape and the criminal justice system: Fresh evidence on the attrition problem in England and Wales. European Journal of Criminology, 12(3), 324–341) have provided information on the general profile of cases, their outcomes, and the relationship between the two, in attempts to understand these patterns. However, recent changes to the landscape of rape investigation (e.g. the impact of technology) justify a more contemporary assessment. The present study coded 446 cases of rape reported in London in April 2016, on a variety of victim, suspect, offence, and procedural characteristics, as well as case outcomes. We conducted descriptive analyses of case profiles and inferential examinations of the relationship between case characteristics and outcomes. Findings suggest the profile of victims, suspects, and the context of offences has remained mostly similar, with some noticeable changes (e.g. a larger array of victim vulnerabilities). Moreover, several existing, exacerbated, as well as novel procedural challenges present (e.g. delay due to workload, third party materials). Additionally, many rape-myth related case factors no longer predict case outcomes and officers instead may now engage in greater ‘downstream’ orientation, and anticipation of case uptake, when evaluating cases. Recommendations for policy and practice are discussed.

description: For $τ>2$, let $T$ be a $C^τ$ skew product map of the form $(x+α,y+h(x))$ on $\mathbb T^2$ over a rotation of the circle. We show that if $T$ preserves a measurable section, then it is disjoint to the Möbius sequence. This in particular implies that any non-uniquely ergodic $C^τ$ skew product map on $\mathbb T^2$ has a finite index factor that is disjoint to the Möbius sequence.

description: The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of training on employee performance. To tackle the research problem, the researcher had as major objective to find out: whether Ethiopian Police University College has training programs, policy, and methods conducted for all employees; possible training measurement technique and the practical effects training has on the performance of employees. The study used the simple random sampling technique to select permanent employees from all directorates. The researcher got information from 172 respondents through questionnaires, interview, and personal observation. The research reveals that training led to a positive impact on the performance of employee and an improvement in their skills and commitment. It is recommended that Ethiopian Police University College shall participate employees on designing and planning training programs, It should also has training program evaluation technique as well as performance measurement technique

description: We extend our previous work in which we derived the most general form of an induced metric describing the geometry of an axially symmetric extremal isolated horizon (EIH) in asymptotically flat spacetime. Here we generalize it to EIHs in asymptotically (anti-)de Sitter spacetime. The resulting metric conveniently forms a 6-parameter family which, in addition to a cosmological constant $Λ$, depends on the area of the horizon, total electric and magnetic charges, and two deficit angles representing conical singularities at poles. Such a metric is consistent with results obtained in the context of near-horizon geometries. Moreover, we study extremal horizons of all black holes within the class of Plebanski-Demianski exact (electro)vacuum spacetimes of the algebraic type D. In an important special case of non-accelerating black holes, that is the famous Kerr-Newman-NUT-(A)dS metric, we were able to identify the corresponding extremal horizons, including their position and geometry, and find explicit relations between the physical parameters of the metric and the geometrical parameters of the EIHs.

description: Cancer is the foremost cause of deaths worldwide with breast cancer being second among them [1]. Chemotherapy is the most preferred treatment tactic to treat breast cancer that is associated with copious adverse effects [2, 3] mainly caused by nonspecific targets of cancer drugs affecting highly dividing healthy cells of the body. In addition, development of resistance by cancer cells to these chemotherapeutic drugs is one of the most difficult obstacles to the clinical success of the therapy [4-6]. The classical chemical drugs most frequently used nowadays enter the cells either via the direct diffusion or the facilitated passive diffusion which is recognized by the cellular pump system [7-12]. The transporter molecules efflux drugs out of the cells decreasing drug accumulation inside the cells and causing them to acquire resistance to these drugs. In addition, cancer cells may accomplish resistance by changing the expression pattern of importer molecules that help drugs to get into the cells [13]. Furthermore, many growth factor receptors (GFRs) typically human epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR1 and ERBB2) and insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGFR1) are overexpressed on breast cancer cells and thus influence their growth and proliferation [14] leading to tumor progression and conferring more resistance to drugs [15-18]. Designing smart carrier molecules to carry the widely used classical anticancer drugs inside the cells might help circumvent the recognition by the transporter molecules and thus enable more drugs accumulation into cells to exert more therapeutic efficacy. In addition, silencing of the transporter or GFR genes with small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) following their intracellular delivery along with drugs using an appropriate carrier molecule could be a novel approach to combat against cancer and acquired resistance more effectively. Targeted delivery of multiple siRNAs and drugs to cells could be facilitated with recently developed pH sensitive inorganic carbonate apatite nanoparticles [19-23]. These original and modified nanoparticles have been used for this study to carry the classical anti-cancer drugs (doxorubicin; Dox, methotrexate; Mtx, cyclophosphamide; Cyp and furouracil; FU) and siRNAs against GFR genes (EGFR1, ERBB2 and IGFR1) and ABC transporter genes (ABCB1, ABCG2 and ABCC1) to induce cellular cytotoxicity in human (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231) and mouse (4T1) breast cancer cell lines as well as in 4T1-induced mouse tumors. Nanoparticle complexed drug induced more cytotoxicity and tumour reduction by more cellular accumulation of drugs inside cells and co-delivery of drug and siRNAs against transporter and GFR genes via these nanoparticles induce additional cytotoxicity tumour reduction in mice.
