The Impact of Demographic factors on the Attitudes of Life Insurance Policyholders in the Case of Ethiopian Insurance Company
Creators: name: Assegid G/Medihin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of demographic factors on the attitude of life insurance holders in the case of Ethiopian Insurance Corporation. The study was conducted by collecting the response of policyholders through structured questionnaire on five point likert scale. Out of 200 questionnaires a total of 154(77%) usable responses were obtained to assess the level of awareness about demographic factors and their impact on policy holder attitude towards life insurance. Multiple regression Modeling (MRM) approach was used to analyze and test relationships among variables. The study found that Demographic factors such as income, religion, gender, education and age were found to have significance impact on the attitude of life insurance policyholders in Ethiopian Insurance Company’s scenario. The implications of the study to management and theory are discussed and recommendations for future research have been made. The limitations of the study are also noted. The findings of the study may serve as an input for the Ethiopian Insurance Company in particular and the insurance industry in Ethiopia in general. It also aims to frame strategies how to increase the share of life insurance in the GDP of the country.

description: An algorithm to compute efficiently the first two derivatives of (very) large multideterminant wavefunctions for quantum Monte Carlo calculations is presented. The calculation of determinants and their derivatives is performed using the Sherman-Morrison formula for updating the inverse Slater matrix. An improved implementation based on the reduction of the number of column substitutions and on a very efficient implementation of the calculation of the scalar products involved is presented. It is emphasized that multideterminant expansions contain in general a large number of identical spin-specific determinants: for typical configuration interaction-type wavefunctions the number of unique spin-specific determinants $N_{\rm det}^σ$ ($σ=\uparrow,\downarrow$) with a non-negligible weight in the expansion is of order ${\cal O}(\sqrt{N_{\rm det}})$. We show that a careful implementation of the calculation of the $N_{\rm det}$-dependent contributions can make this step negligible enough so that in practice the algorithm scales as the total number of unique spin-specific determinants, $\; N_{\rm det}^\uparrow + N_{\rm det}^\downarrow$, over a wide range of total number of determinants (here, $N_{\rm det}$ up to about one million), thus greatly reducing the total computational cost. Finally, a new truncation scheme for the multideterminant expansion is proposed so that larger expansions can be considered without increasing the computational time. The algorithm is illustrated with all-electron Fixed-Node Diffusion Monte Carlo calculations of the total energy of the chlorine atom. Calculations using a trial wavefunction including about 750 000 determinants with a computational increase of $\sim$ 400 compared to a single-determinant calculation are shown to be feasible.

On the possible onset of the Pioneer anomaly

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We explore the possibility that the observed onset of the Pioneer anomaly after Saturn encounter by Pioneer 11 is not necessarily due to mismodeling of solar radiation pressure but instead reflects a physically relevant characteristic of the anomaly itself. We employ the principles of a recently proposed cosmological model termed "the theory of inertial centers" along with an understanding of the fundamental assumptions taken by the Deep Space Network (DSN) to attempt to model this sudden onset. Due to an ambiguity that arises from the difference in the DSN definition of expected light-time with light-time according to the theory of inertial centers, we are forced to adopt a seemingly arbitrary convention to relate DSN-assumed clock-rates to physical clock-rates for this model. We offer a possible reason for adopting the convention employed in our analysis; however, we remain skeptical. Nevertheless, with this convention, one finds that this theory is able to replicate the previously reported Hubble-like behavior of the "clock acceleration" for the Pioneer anomaly as well as the sudden onset of the anomalous acceleration after Pioneer 11 Saturn encounter. While oscillatory behavior with a yearly period is also predicted for the anomalous clock accelerations of both Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11, the predicted amplitude is an order of magnitude too small when compared with that reported for Pioneer 10.

description: Objective The objective was to estimate the optimal screen-positive 1-hour 50 g glucose challenge test (GCT) threshold for gestational diabetes (GDM) and predictive characteristics of increasing screen-positive GCT threshold values (135–199 mg/dL) for GDM. Study Design It is a secondary analysis of a multicenter mild GDM study. At 24 to 30 weeks' gestation, women with elevated GCT (135–199 mg/dL) completed a diagnostic 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). A novel change-point analysis method was used to compare the GDM rates for the adjacent GCT values, delineating categories of changing risk such that values within categories have equal risk for GDM. Positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values for GDM were computed for increasing GCT cut-offs. Results In 7,280 women with both GCT (135–199 mg/dL) and OGTT results, 4 GDM risk-equivalent GCT categories were identified with escalations at 144, 158, and 174 mg/dL (all p-values <0.05). The PPV for GDM increased from 33 to 64% as GCT increased from 135 to 199 mg/dL, while the NPV decreased from 80 to 67%. PPVs were only 20% and 61% for risk-equivalent categories of 135 to 143 mg/dL and 174 to 199 mg/dL, respectively. Conclusion Elevated GCT cut-off values between 135 and 143 mg/dL may carry equivalent GDM risk. No threshold GCT value <199 mg/dL alone sufficiently predicts GDM.

description: Renormalization group (RG) methods used to soften Hamiltonians for nuclear many-body calculations change the effective resolution of the interaction. For nucleon knock-out processes, these RG transformations leave cross sections invariant, but initial-state wave functions, interaction currents, and final-state interactions are individually altered. This has implications for the factorization of nuclear structure and reactions. We use deuteron electrodisintegration as a controlled laboratory for studying how structure and reaction components are modified under RG evolution, without the complication of three-body forces or currents. The dependence of these changes on kinematics is explored.

description: It is recently argued that if the Hawking radiation process is unitary, then a black hole's mass cannot be monotonically decreasing. We examine the time dependent particle count and negative energy flux in the non-trivial conformal vacuum via the moving mirror approach. A new, exactly unitary solution is presented which emits a characteristic above-thermal positive energy burst, a thermal plateau, and negative energy flux. It is found that the characteristic positive energy flare and thermal plateau is observed in the particle outflow. However, the results of time dependent particle production show no overt indication of negative energy flux. Therefore, a black hole's birth cry is detectable by asymptotic observers via particle count, whereas its death gasp is not.

description: We derive the explicit expression for the Casimir energy between a sphere and a 1D grating, in terms of the sphere and grating reflection matrices, and valid for arbitrary materials, sphere radius, and grating geometric parameters. We then numerically calculate the Casimir energy between a metallic (gold) sphere and a dielectric (fused silica) lamellar grating at room temperature, and explore its dependence on the sphere radius, grating-sphere separation, and lateral displacement. We quantitatively investigate the geometrical dependence of the interaction, which is sensitive to the grating height and filling factor, and show how the sphere can be used as a local sensor of the Casimir force geometric features. To this purpose we mostly concentrate on separations and sphere radii of the same order of the grating parameters (here of the order of one micrometer). We also investigate the lateral component of the Casimir force, resulting from the absence of translational invariance. We compare our results with those obtained within the proximity force approximation (PFA). When applied to the sphere only, PFA overestimates the strength of the attractive interaction, and we find that the discrepancy is larger in the sphere-grating than in the sphere-plane geometry. On the other hand, when PFA is applied to both sphere and grating, it provides a better estimate of the exact results, simply because the effect of a single grating is underestimated, thus leading to a partial compensation of errors.

ITER

description: Diamond disks with a diameter of 70 mm and a thickness of 1.11 mm will be installed into windows of the Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive System (EC-HCD) of the fusion reactor ITER. The bare disks, manufactured by a microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition process, need to ensure high mechanical stability, thermal conductivity and transmission of MW-class microwave beams. Factory acceptance tests of the disks produced by Diamond Materials include a check of dimensional properties and a determination of its dielectric loss. The loss characterization and the comparison with the respective specifications is performed at KIT using dedicated Fabry-Perot
resonators, that allow the measurement of the loss tangent at the disk centre and a mapping of it over the disk area. An optical inspection with a digital microscope completes the examination. More than 60 diamond disks need to be qualified prior to their integration into the window assemblies and the application in the ITER EC-system. The disk qualification activities are performed within a contract between F4E and KIT and the talk will present the current status. Part: KFM

description: International outreach by schools and colleges of pharmacy is increasing. In this paper, we provide current practice guidelines to establish and maintain successful global/international advanced pharmacy practice experiences (G/I APPEs) with specific recommendations for home/host country and host site/institution. The paper is based on a literature review (2000-2014) in databases and Internet searches with specific keywords or terms. Educational documents such as syllabi and memoranda of understanding (MoUs) from pharmacy programs were also examined. In addition, a preliminary draft was developed and the findings and recommendations were reviewed in a 90-minute roundtable discussion at the 2014 American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Annual Meeting. Recommendations for the host country include travel considerations (eg, passport, visa, air travel), safety, housing, transportation, travel alerts and warnings, health issues, and financial considerations. For the home country, considerations for establishment of G/I APPE site (eg, vetting process, MoU, site expectations) are described. The paper is a resource for development of new G/I APPEs and provides guidance for continuous quality improvement of partnerships focusing on G/I pharmacy education.

Short-time $β$-relaxation in glass-forming liquids is cooperative in nature

description: Temporal relaxation of density fluctuations in supercooled liquids near the glass transition occurs in multiple steps. The short-time $β$-relaxation is generally attributed to spatially local processes involving the rattling motion of a particle in the transient cage formed by its neighbors. Using molecular dynamics simulations for three model glass-forming liquids, we show that the $β$-relaxation is actually cooperative in nature. Using finite-size scaling analysis, we extract a growing length-scale associated with $β$-relaxation from the observed dependence of the $β$-relaxation time on the system size. Remarkably, the temperature dependence of this length scale is found to be the same as that of the length scale that describes the spatial heterogeneity of local dynamics in the long-time $α$-relaxation regime. These results show that the conventional interpretation of $β$-relaxation as a local process is too simplified and provide a clear connection between short-time dynamics and long-time structural relaxation in glass-forming liquids.

description: Dynamical systems can be prone to severe fluctuations due to the presence of chaotic dynamics. This paper explains for a toy chaotic economic model how such a system can be regulated by the application of relatively weak control to keep the system confined to a bounded region of the phase space, even in the presence of strong external disturbances. Since the control here is weaker than the disturbance, the system cannot be controlled to a particular trajectory, but under certain circumstances it can be partially controlled to avoid extreme values. Partial control depends on the existence of a certain set called a "safe sets". We describe the safe set and how it varies with parameters, sometimes continuously and sometimes discontinuously.

description: Although the use of a professional dress code is standard practice across colleges and schools of pharmacy during introductory and advanced pharmacy practice experiences, requiring professional attire is not applied consistently during the didactic portion of students’ education. There are arguments for and against the adoption of a professional dress code throughout the entire doctor of pharmacy program, including the classroom setting. Given uncertainty regarding the potential benefits and challenges that may arise from adopting a professional dress code in the didactic portion of a student pharmacist’s education, it is perhaps not surprising that programs adopt disparate policies regarding its use. This exploration was conducted as part of a series of debates held in conjunction with the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy’s (AACP) Academic Leadership Fellows Program (ALFP) and was presented at the 2015 AACP Interim Meeting on February 7, 2015.

description: We selected the claim that if implicit measures focused on positive valence are more sensitive to positive information, members of non-dominant social groups should on average show greater ingroup favoritism on implicit measures focused on positive valence relative to implicit measures focused on negative valence (Statement 2), which reflects “on indirect measures focusing on positive valence, members of non-dominant racial groups showed ingroup favoritism" (Statement 1), as found in the paper's abstract. The claim is tested by scoring attitudes such that more positive scores indicate greater preferences for the dominant group (and more negative scores indicating greater preference for the ingroup) and testing for differences between good-focal and bad-focal MC-IATs using a series of independent t-tests (Statement 3), which resulted in, among Black participants, White-Black associations: Good-focal = -0.12 (0.60), Bad-focal = 0.16 (0.64), t = 9.01, p < .001, d [95% CI] = 0.45 [0.35, 0.55] (Statement 4 - data from Table 1).

description: We investigate interstellar extinction curve variations toward $\sim$4 deg$^{2}$ of the inner Milky Way in $VIJK_{s}$ photometry from the OGLE-III and $VVV$ surveys, with supporting evidence from diffuse interstellar bands and $F435W,F625W$ photometry. We obtain independent measurements toward $\sim$2,000 sightlines of $A_{I}$, $E(V-I)$, $E(I-J)$, and $E(J-K_{s})$, with median precision and accuracy of 2%. We find that the variations in the extinction ratios $A_{I}/E(V-I)$, $E(I-J)/E(V-I)$ and $E(J-K_{s})/E(V-I)$ are large (exceeding 20%), significant, and positively correlated, as expected. However, both the mean values and the trends in these extinction ratios are drastically shifted from the predictions of Cardelli and Fitzpatrick, regardless of how $R_{V}$ is varied. Furthermore, we demonstrate that variations in the shape of the extinction curve has at least two degrees of freedom, and not one (e.g. $R_{V}$), which we conform with a principal component analysis. We derive a median value of $=13.44$, which is $\sim$60% higher than the "standard" value. We show that the Wesenheit magnitude $W_{I}=I-1.61(I-J)$ is relatively impervious to extinction curve variations. Given that these extinction curves are linchpins of observational cosmology, and that it is generally assumed that $R_{V}$ variations correctly capture variations in the extinction curve, we argue that systematic errors in the distance ladder from studies of type Ia supernovae and Cepheids may have been underestimated. Moreover, the reddening maps from the Planck experiment are shown to systematically overestimate dust extinction by $\sim$100%, and lack sensitivity to extinction curve variations.

description: Extensive research into high temperature superconducting cuprates is now focused upon identifying the relationship between the classic 'pseudogap' phenomenon$^{1,2}$ and the more recently investigated density wave state$^{3-13}$. This state always exhibits wave vector $Q$ parallel to the planar Cu-O-Cu bonds$^{4-13}$ along with a predominantly $d$-symmetry form factor$^{14-17}$ (dFF-DW). Finding its microscopic mechanism has now become a key objective$^{18-30}$ of this field. To accomplish this, one must identify the momentum-space ($k$-space) states contributing to the dFF-DW spectral weight, determine their particle-hole phase relationship about the Fermi energy, establish whether they exhibit a characteristic energy gap, and understand the evolution of all these phenomena throughout the phase diagram. Here we use energy-resolved sublattice visualization$^{14}$ of electronic structure and show that the characteristic energy of the dFF-DW modulations is actually the 'pseudogap' energy $Δ_{1}$. Moreover, we demonstrate that the dFF-DW modulations at $E=-Δ_{1}$ (filled states) occur with relative phase $π$ compared to those at $E=Δ_{1}$ (empty states). Finally, we show that the dFF-DW $Q$ corresponds directly to scattering between the 'hot frontier' regions of $k$-space beyond which Bogoliubov quasiparticles cease to exist$^{31,32,33}$. These data demonstrate that the dFF-DW state is consistent with particle-hole interactions focused at the pseudogap energy scale and between the four pairs of 'hot frontier' regions in $k$-space where the pseudogap opens.

description: Background The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) has been widely used as a self-report measure of affect in community and clinical contexts. However, evaluations of the psychometric properties of PANAS scores have been limited in diverse ethnic groups. Several short forms of the PANAS have also been proposed, but very little is known about the psychometric properties of these versions. Methods The present study investigated the psychometric properties, including the factor structure of the original PANAS and two short forms in an African American community sample (N=239). Descriptive, internal consistency reliability, factorial validity, and measurement invariance analyses were conducted. Results All PANAS subscales from the original and short forms had adequate internal consistency. For the original PANAS, the model specifying three correlated factors (Positive Affect, Afraid, Upset) with correlated uniquenesses from redundant items provided the best fit to the data. However, the two-factor model (Positive Affect, Negative Affect) with correlated uniquenesses was also supported. For both short forms, the two-factor model with correlated uniquenesses fit the data best. Factors from all forms were generally invariant across age and gender, although there was some minor invariance at the item level. Limitations Participants were from a limited geographic area and one ethnic group. Indicators of anxiety, depression, and cultural characteristics were not measured. Conclusion The factor structure was replicated, suggesting no immediate concerns regarding the valid interpretation of PANAS scores. The results support the reliability and validity of the PANAS and its short forms for use among African Americans.

description: Compression garments were initially developed with clinical applications in medical fields, however more recently their use in sporting sectors has increased in popularity. Research has primarily focussed on the utility of compression garments to accelerate physiological recovery, and its impacts on performance. Compression garments also provide pressure at the body’s surface; therefore, potentially contributing to increased proprioceptive feedback and/or stabilisation of joint angles during movement tasks (MacRae et al., 2011). Previous evidence has shown the use of compression shorts also increases skin temperature under the garment, and this can be advantageous for the muscle, by reducing warm-up time and the likelihood of injury (Doan et al., 2003; Duffield & Portus, 2007). Therefore, although there is widespread acceptance of the use of compression garments across athletic and recreational populations, the evidence behind its effectiveness on injury prevention remains uncertain (Zamporri & Aguinaldo, 2018). This systematic review aims to investigate the effects of wearing compression garments on mitigating injury occurrences and/or potential mechanisms relating to injury.

description: In this paper embeddings between weighted Copson function spaces ${\operatorname{Cop}}_{p_1,q_1}(u_1,v_1)$ and weighted Cesàro function spaces ${\operatorname{Ces}}_{p_2,q_2}(u_2,v_2)$ are characterized. In particular, two-sided estimates of the optimal constant $c$ in the inequality \begin{equation*} \bigg( \int_0^{\infty} \bigg( \int_0^t f(τ)^{p_2}v_2(τ)\,dτ\bigg)^{\frac{q_2}{p_2}} u_2(t)\,dt\bigg)^{\frac{1}{q_2}} \le c \bigg( \int_0^{\infty} \bigg( \int_t^{\infty} f(τ)^{p_1} v_1(τ)\,dτ\bigg)^{\frac{q_1}{p_1}} u_1(t)\,dt\bigg)^{\frac{1}{q_1}}, \end{equation*} where $p_1,\,p_2,\,q_1,\,q_2 \in (0,\infty)$, $p_2 \le q_2$ and $u_1,\,u_2,\,v_1,\,v_2$ are weights on $(0,\infty)$, are obtained. The most innovative part consists of the fact that possibly different parameters $p_1$ and $p_2$ and possibly different inner weights $v_1$ and $v_2$ are allowed. The proof is based on the combination duality techniques with estimates of optimal constants of the embeddings between weighted Cesàro and Copson spaces and weighted Lebesgue spaces, which reduce the problem to the solutions of the iterated Hardy-type inequalities.

description: We consider time delay for the Dirac equation. A new method to calculate the asymptotics of the expectation values of the operator $\int\limits_{0} ^{\infty}e^{iH_{0}t}ζ\left( \frac{\left\vert x\right\vert }{R}\right) e^{-iH_{0}t}dt,$ as $R\rightarrow\infty,$ is presented. Here $H_{0}$ is the free Dirac operator and $ζ\left( t\right) $ is such that $ζ\left( t\right) =1$ for $0\leq t\leq1$ and $ζ\left( t\right) =0$ for $t>1.$ This approach allows us to obtain the time delay operator $δ\mathcal{T}\left( f\right) $ for initial states $f$ in $\mathcal{H} _{2}^{3/2+\varepsilon}\left( \mathbb{R}^{3};\mathbb{C}^{4}\right) ,$ $\varepsilon>0,$ the Sobolev space of order $3/2+\varepsilon$ and weight $2.$ The relation between the time delay operator $δ\mathcal{T}\left( f\right) $ and the Eisenbud-Wigner time delay operator is given. Also, the relation between the averaged time delay and the spectral shift function is presented.
Cosmological Problems of the String Axion Alleviated by High Scale SUSY of $m_{3/2}$ $\simeq$ 10-100 TeV

description: The string axion may provide the most attractive solution to the strong CP problem in QCD. However, the axion energy density easily exceeds the dark matter density in the present universe due to a large decay constant around $10^{16}$ GeV, unless the initial value of the axion field is fine-tuned. We show that this problem is alleviated if and only if the SUSY particle mass scale is 10-100 TeV, since the decay of the saxion can produce a large enough amount of entropy after the QCD phase transition, not disturbing the BBN prediction. The saxion decay also produces a large number of the lightest SUSY particles (LSPs). As a consequence, R-parity needs to be violated to avoid the overproduction of the LSPs. The saxion field can be stabilized with relatively simple Kahler potentials, not inducing a too large axion dark radiation. Despite the large entropy production, the observed baryon number is explained by the Affleck-Dine mechanism. Furthermore, the constraint from isocurvature perturbations is relaxed, and the Hubble constant during inflation can be as large as several $\times$ $10^{10}$ GeV.
