description: Miniaturized, self-propelled locomotors use chemo-mechanical transduction mechanisms to convert fuel in the environment to autonomous motion. Recent experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that these autonomous engines can passively follow the contours of solid boundaries they encounter. Boundary guidance, however, is not necessarily stable: Mechanical disturbances can cause the motor to hydrodynamically depart from the passively guided pathway. Furthermore, given the scaled-down size of micromotors (typically 100 nm -10 $μ$m), Brownian thermal fluctuation forces are necessarily important and these stochastic forces can randomize passively-steered trajectories. Here we examine theoretically the stability of boundary guided motion of micromotors along infinite planar walls to mechanical disturbances and to Brownian forces. Our aim is to understand under what conditions this passively guided motion is stable. We choose a locomotor design in which spherical colloids are partially coated with a catalytic cap that reacts with solute to produce a product. The product is repelled from the particle surface, causing the particle to move with the inert face at the front (autonomous motion via self-diffusiophoresis). When propelled towards a planar wall, deterministic hydrodynamic studies demonstrate that these locomotors can exhibit, for large enough cap sizes, steady trajectories in which the particle either skims unidirectionally along the surface at a constant distance from the wall, or becomes stationary. We first investigate the linear hydrodynamic stability of these states by expanding the equations of motion about the states, and find that linear perturbations decay exponentially in time. We then study the effects of thermal fluctuations by formulating a Langevin equation for the particle motion which includes the Brownian stochastic force...

The Relationship Between Rewards in Practice and Motivation of Employees in the Moderating Effect of Reward Management in Ethiopian Airlines
Creators: name: Getachew, Bethelhem
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Nowadays, organizations are striving to establish an equitable balance between the employee's contribution to the organization and the organization's contribution to the employee. Among other things, establishing balanced provision of rewards and reward management systems in an organization is one of the basic factors that optimizes employees' motivation. Research has proven that employees who achieve balanced rewarding categories, that is, extrinsic versus intrinsic rewards, individual versus group rewarding…etc. with fair procedures of reward distribution tend to be more motivated and perform optimally. The purpose of the current study is to assess the relationship among rewards in practice, reward management systems and motivation in Ethiopian Airlines and investigate the effect of rewards in practice and motivation of employees in the presence of reward management system as a moderating factor. A two-stage mixed data collection method paired with convenience technique of sampling using Semi-Standardized Interview and Self-Administered Questionnaires produced data of 152 respondents. Results of the qualitative analysis showed that extrinsic, intrinsic, and individual based rewarding systems are available in the organization. The quantitative data outcomes on the relationships between rewards in practice and motivation of employees in the existence of reward management systems as moderating factor indicated that rewards in practice and reward management systems have strong relationship with motivation contributing around 50% of employees' motivation. In addition, the hierarchical regression analysis indicated that reward management has an enhancing power on rewards in practice and motivation of employees with R2-change rate of 1.9% with statistical significance of F (1, 148) = 4.8127 of p= 0.03.Nonetheless, the insights derived from the current research, results need to be interpreted with caution since a convenience sample was used and insufficient sample size acquired the generalizability is only restricted to the current population.
Critical Optimism: A Methodological Posture to Shape the Future of Digital Social Research

Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2021
Subjects: critical optimism; digital survey; digital experiment

description: In this paper we focus on the concept of critical optimism, a concept that has served many authors to explain orientation about the future. It means to be neither mechanistic in our imagination of the world nor naïve about the expectations the future can hold. Recently scholars have appealed to critical optimism to explain how we should relate to the digital, since when facing technology often, also in the scientific literature, we find extreme opinions. After ten years that the debate around technology and social research has developed on these two opposite visions, we promote an active engagement in testing the different instruments of digital research. Digital methods and big data must be integrated with traditional data sources and methods already existing in social sciences, and that is the right way to effectively improve the unfolding of social phenomena. In support of this thesis, we want to bring two examples that can demonstrate how the use of digital technologies did not lead to abandoning the traditional techniques of social research, but it instead has contributed to solving some problems in the use of these techniques, which before digital were hard to solve. Here, we will illustrate just two examples, the survey and the experiment, that relate to quantitative research, although certainly there are others that can be retraced in quantitative as well as qualitative research.

Conducting Social Research Online: Empathetic Concern and Sociability

Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2021
Subjects: digital research; empathy; sociability

description: As of February 2020, all access to the research field has taken place online out of necessity and, as a consequence of this, it seems that there are many questions which must be tackled by methodological research. The paper will discuss some of these, starting from a focus group experience: what elements of the interview situation change? What comes into play in the dynamics of the relationship that is established? Do the typical dynamics of a focus group also develop, even among people who look at each other from a screen, who only see each other’s faces or little more, and who have never met before? What must the facilitator of the discursive production take into account? The reference is to two important authors, Edith Stein and Georg Simmel. The hypothesis discussed concerns the reduction of the possibility for empathy in the interaction and the affirmation of sociability, which almost seems to fill the space left by empathy.

description: In this paper, we give a notion of the potentially good reduction locus of a Shimura variety. It consists of the points which should be related with motives having potentially good reductions in some sense. We show the existence of such locus for a Shimura variety of preabelian type. Further, we construct a partition of the adic space associated to a Shimura variety of preabelian type, which is expected to describe degenerations of motives. Using this partition, we prove that the cohomology of the potentially good reduction locus is isomorphic to the cohomology of a Shimura variety up to non-supercuspidal parts.

UV completion of the Starobinsky model, tensor-to-scalar ratio, and constraints on non-locality

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we build upon the successes of the ultraviolet (UV) completion of the Starobinsky model of inflation. This involves an extension of the Einstein-Hilbert term by an infinite covariant derivative theory of gravity, which is quadratic in curvature. It has been shown that such a theory can potentially resolve the cosmological singularity for a flat, homogeneous and isotropic geometry, and now it can also provide a successful cosmological inflation model, which in the infrared matches all the predictions of the Starobinsky model of inflation. The aim of this note is to show that the tensor-to-scalar ratio is modified by the scale of non-locality, and in general a wider range of tensor-to-scalar ratios can be obtained in this class of model, which can put a lower bound on the scale of non-locality for the first time as large as the O$(10^{14})$ GeV.

description: Multilevel societies are considered to be the most complex social structures found in vertebrates. During my PhD I first described the theoretical link between cooperative breeding and the potential emergence of multilevel societies across Australian and New Zealand birds. I then studied groups of superb fairy-wrens (Malurus cyaneus), a cooperatively breeding Australian songbird. I subsequently demonstrated how individual superb fairy-wrens can adjust cooperative behaviour toward other individuals within their multilevel society and I showed how cooperative behaviour varies with seasonal changes in environmental condition. My PhD research highlights the potential that birds offer to understand the evolution of multilevel societies.

description: After presenting the main features of Big Data, the paper discusses its epistemological and methodological implications in social research. If the current interest in Big Data has generated the widespread impression that these methods are able to produce knowledge without the need to resort to conventional scientific methods, it remains an open question whether the possibility to work with a huge amount of data has really led to a new epistemological transition. A further aspect of critical reflection, present in the essay, concerns the quality and reliability of information, privacy issues and data ownership.

EU copyright and related rights and access to and reuse of scientific publications, including open access
Creators: name: Angelopoulos, Christina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: copyright, research, re-use, open access, open science, democracy

description: This presentation analyses a recent study on EU copyright law and (open) access to and re-use of scientific publications. The issue arises as a result of current scientific publishing practices, which commonly require the transfer of copyright from researcher-authors to publishers, thus impeding (open) access and re-use. The study begins by considering the possibilities for re-use enabled by the exceptions and limitations (E&Ls) to copyright in the current EU legal framework. Focus lies on two E&Ls – the research exception and the quotation exception – and on the fundamental rights framework that underpins them. The study then examines two ways to facilitate access to scientific publications: via non-­legislative and via legislative means. At the non-legislative level, employers and funders are experimenting with Rights Retention Strategies (i.e., strategies designed to allow researchers to retain their copyright) and open access mandates (i.e., obligations on researchers to publish results in open access). On the legislative level, certain EU Member States have recently introduced a Secondary Publication Right (SPR), i.e., a right for the author of a scientific publication to make it available online for free following an embargo period. On the basis of the analysis, the study concludes with a list of legislative and non-legislative recommendations to encourage greater access to and re-use of scientific publications in Europe.

Effects of Underwriting Result and Investment Income to the Profitability of Private Insurance Companies in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Tekalign, Birhanu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Ethiopia's insurance industry is one of the least developed in the world based on the commonly used measurements, penetration rate and density. Many factors may have contributed to this stagnation. It is commonly anticipated that the performance and profitability of insurance industry is the result of its underwriting performance and efficient investment portfolio management. But for companies in Ethiopia it is claimed that neither is doing well, especially their trend of high dependence on interest income in recent years, is putting the prospect of the sector in jeopardy. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate the effects of underwriting profit and investment income on profitability of Ethiopia's private Insurance market. The study conducted on all private insurance companies in the industry who operate on non-life insurance and who have also been operating at least for full five budget years until 30th of June, 2017. Quantitative research technique has been used. Then the data variables from the revenue accounts of the companies have been analyzed using SPSS software version 23 with descriptive statistics and more importantly, a multiple regression model adopted on at least five years revenue accounts of the insurance companies to analyze the relation between the variables and their contribution to profitability. According to the findings of the study there was a positive relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable with the investment income having a relatively strong positive relation with profit before tax. There was also weak positive relationship between the underwriting profit and investment income. Finally both policy and future study recommendations have been put forward. Some recommendations have also been forwarded to the management of the insurance companies in such a way that the correlation can be improved if insurance underwriting is viewed as a risk transfer process and not just a wealth generation endeavor.

description: Cosmological simulations involving the fully covariant gravitational dynamics may prove relevant in understanding relativistic/non-linear features and, therefore, in taking better advantage of the upcoming large scale structure survey data. We propose a new 3+1 integration scheme for General Relativity in the case where the matter sector contains a minimally-coupled perfect fluid field. The original feature is that we completely eliminate the fluid components through the constraint equations, thus remaining with a set of unconstrained evolution equations for the rest of the fields. This procedure does not constrain the lapse function and shift vector, so it holds in arbitrary gauge and also works for arbitrary equation of state. An important advantage of this scheme is that it allows one to define and pass an adaptation of the robustness test to the cosmological context, at least in the case of pressureless perfect fluid matter, which is the relevant one for late-time cosmology.

The Digital Traces’ Diamond. A Proposal to Put Together a Quantitative Approach, Interpretive Methods, and Computational Tools
Creators: name: Bennato, Davide
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2021
Subjects: digital sociology; digital traces; cultural diamond

description: The paper aims to suggest a simple model for the interpretation of digital traces as a source of data in Social Science research. Digital traces are very interesting because in the sociological tradition there is no extensive use of traces: the great part of sociological methods prefer direct and indirect strategies of data collections. But today digital traces are important because the technological environment of the Digital Society produces a great number of digital traces that are an important source of data. While in sociology there is a little debate in the use of traces, in the Social Sciences and humanities there are several traditions in the interpretation of trace, and we focus our attention on the most interesting: the ethnomethodology, the school of suspicion, the interpretive anthropology, the evidential paradigm. What these traditions have in common is their interest in abductive reasoning or the way to use partial information to build probabilistic knowledge, a typical strategy of hunters, detectives, and physicians, archetypes of the social theory of traces. Then we propose a model for the interpretation of digital traces that is inspired by the cultural diamond of Wendy Griswold and for this reason we call it the digital traces’ diamond. Then we use a series of case study to describe how the proposed model works and how can be useful for the use of digital traces as a source of data.

Repurposing Digital Methods in a Post-API Research Environment: Methodological and Ethical Implications

Subjects: digital methods; post-API; follow the natives.

description: Especially after the social media curtailing brought about the Cambridge Analytica scandal, it has become increasingly difficult to do social media research by using digital methods as well as following the medium. This condition brings in new methodological and ethical challenges. This article proposes some methodological strategies to ‘repurpose’ digital methods in a post-API research environment. The discussion draws on three case studies: 1) studying Instagram stories: the scraping dilemma; 2) studying smartphone in everyday contexts: researching digital environments not connected to APIs; 3) studying fake news on Twitter: dealing with increasingly useless APIs data. For each case study methodological and ethical implications are examined. In conclusion, the article suggests that a possible viable strategy to repurpose digital methods in a post-API era is to follow the natives (along with the medium), that is, to take advantage of the natively digital methods through which social media users manage their own data as well as emic conception of what is ethical (or at least acceptable) regarding the handling of their own data.

description: Soil pollution is one of the major environmental concerns. Since the inception of the industrial revolution, numerous perilous compounds are being introduced into the environment by various means. Of these, heavy metals are considered the important soil contaminants that present significant peril to human health. While the preventive measures of environmental pollution lie in the awareness of mankind, eliminating the interfering consequences of pollutants that have already been released into the environment is the current challenge. The present work, therefore, aimed to determine the phytoremediation potential of Catharanthus roseus based on contamination indices. The metal concentrations in soil and plant were assessed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry and Inductively Coupled Plasma -Mass Spectrophotometry. The results showed that C. roseus acted as a good tool in remediating industrially contaminated soils. Plants grown under metal stress showed enhanced antioxidant potential. Further, the plant exhibited increased chlorophyll, pectin and lignin content in response to heavy metals, suggesting significant relation between plant metabolism and mental stress. Phytoremediation using plants like C. roseus therefore, can be esthetically pleasing and more publicly acceptable than the disruptive physical and chemical processes currently in use. The present study was undertaken for the first time to evaluate the potential of Catharanthus roseus to remediate the industrially contaminated soils of Visakhapatnam city. Plant responses to heavy metals were analyzed based on the alterations in antioxidant potential, lignin and pectin content of plants grown in these soils.

description: Digital ethnography can be defined as a contemporary form of ethnography which considers online social spaces of discussion following the advances in data transmission technology. In the last few years, various attempts of considering online spaces in ethnographic research have been made producing different styles of online ethnography, each identified by a different label. This paper aims to provide a systematic review of the topic to map the practice of digital ethnography. The research process followed four key steps: search, selection, analysis and synthesis. In the search phase, we searched contributions iteratively in Web of Science and Scopus by using a variety of keywords corresponding to the different labels used to refer to digital ethnography. In the selection phase, we adopted a selective stance that aims to provide a critical review of the existing research and practices in the context of digital ethnography. In the analysis phase, we carried out a content analysis of the papers combining deductive and inductive coding. The synthesis phase involves a process of typology development to pragmatically reduce and systematize an extensive set of features and digital ethnography practices. Basing on the type of data collected (Small vs Big Data) and the type of fieldwork (meta or contextual field), we detected four types of ethnographic research: social media ethnography, contextual digital ethnography, meta digital ethnography, cross-media ethnography.

A water quality model for Westernport Bay
Creators: name: Pollock, T. J.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The object of this project was to develop a Water Quality Model for Westernport Bay. The literature describing the dispersion process was critically examined and it was concluded that the Lagrangian des- scription is a more direct representation of the actual dispersion process. Therefore the Lagrangian random walk model was developed to model the transport of conservative wastes in turbulent flow. A variety of field experiments were carried out to assess the different process causing mixing in Westernport Bay, and their relative importance. Computer programs were developed for a hydrodynamic and random walk transport model. When calibration and verification have been completed it is believed that the Water Quality Model described herein will be a useful tool in representing waste movement in Westernport Bay.

description: Measurements of the associated production of a Z boson with at least one jet originating from a b quark in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV are presented. Differential cross sections are measured with data collected by the CMS experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.8 inverse femtobarns. Z bosons are reconstructed through their decays to electrons and muons. Cross sections are measured as a function of observables characterizing the kinematics of the b jet and the Z boson. Ratios of differential cross sections for the associated production with at least one b jet to the associated production with any jet are also presented. The production of a Z boson with two b jets is investigated, and differential cross sections are measured for the dijet system. Results are compared to theoretical predictions, testing two different flavour schemes for the choice of initial-state partons.

description: The dynamic and turbulent nature of current competitive global economy has pushed companies to exploit their available resources as a means of achieving competitive advantage. In this regard leadership can be considered as a critical and essential because it has a great consequence on the performance of an organization. The study followed both descriptive and explanatory type of research design and quantitative study approach is used to investigate the relationship between Leadership styles and employees' engagement at Ethiopian Airlines. The target population of this study was employees of Ethiopian Airlines working at Head Quarter, which includes the 7strategic business units. From 9,604 total populations of Ethiopian Airlines Head Quarters, 370 employees were selected as samples of the total population. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select the samples of the total population. As the study was crossectional, one time data was collected by using standardized questionnaires of leadership behavior (Multi Factor Leadership Questionnaire 3rd edition) and Urchtect work Employees engagement rating scale. Correlation and linear regression were used to analyze the relationship between Transactional & Transformational leadership styles and employees engagement dimensions. The regression results showed that Transactional & Transformational leadership styles have positive relationship with employees engagement. Moreover, all employees' engagement dimensions were significantly explained by Transactional & Transformational leadership styles .Generally, Transformative leadership has strong relationship with employees' engagement and leaders shall be more transformative to enhance and develop employees' engagement to the highest level.

description: The digital turn urges for a critical rethinking of social research in order to address the new epistemological and methodological challenges that come from the Digital Society. Digital methods offer a wide range of new possibilities, but they also have their own limitations and boundaries that social researchers need to experience in order to make the most of the online research methods. Also, the Pandemic posed new challenges that require an epochal rethinking of social research activities that have dominated the scene so far. Our paper aims at exploring these boundaries by applying a digital ethnographic approach to study an unconventional and rather unique research object: a controversial social practice, the so-called Dark Tourism during an unforeseen event, COVID-19 pandemic. Our case study starts from the analysis of Facebook groups born in the first Italian “red zones” and possibly eligible as places of potential digital dark tourism. Starting from a completely exploratory analysis, before formalizing substantive results on the investigated phenomenon, this paper brings to the attention of the reader a reflection of methodological order on the type of questions that can be answered by adopting digital methods approach and what limits are imposed to knowledge production and research work on which it is necessary to continue to reflect in order to more fully achieve understanding on the particular phenomenon proposed as a case study.

description: We compute asymptotic symmetry algebras of conformal gravity. Due to more general boundary conditions allowed in conformal gravity in comparison to those in Einstein gravity, we can classify the corresponding algebras. The highest algebra for non-trivial boundary conditions is five dimensional and it leads to global geon solution with non-vanishing charges.

The Effect of Training and Development on Employees Performance: the case of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Gidey, Assefa
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of training and development on employee performance of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. The main objective of training and development is to improve employee knowledge and the skills for their better performance. The performance is measured in terms of the improvement in motivation, efficiency and the Employee Job Satisfaction. The study was done based on primary and secondary data sources. A selfadministered structured questionnaire was designed to collect the relevant information from the respondents. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regressions. Regarding the frequency of training provided, many respondents, i.e., 93 out of 282 respondents avowed that they took training for one or two times. This may retard the effectiveness and motivation of employees of the organization. Regarding the methods implemented to deliver trainings, the company mostly used a trainer centered (lecture) in which 67 percent (189 out of 282 respondents) affirmed that they took trainings through lecture. The findings on the Effect of Training on Employee Performance are generally significant. Respondents' response shows that the job instructions prepared by the organization are clear and easy to apply, and they believe also that they receive enough guidance from their peer and supervisors. Key words: On-the-Job training, Off-the-training, training design, employee performance

description: The re-vegetation of mining wastes with native plants is a comparatively low-cost solution for mine reclamation. However, re-vegetation fails when extreme pH values, low organic matter, or high concentrations of phytotoxic elements inhibit plant establishment and growth. Our aim was to determine whether the combined addition of municipal waste compost and diazotrophic endophytes (i.e., microorganisms that fix atmospheric N2 and live within plants) could improve plant growth, organic matter accumulation, and phytostabilization of trace element contaminants in two types of hard rock mine waste. We grew a widespread native perennial grass, Bouteloua curtipendula, for one month in alkaline waste rock (porphyry copper mine) and tailings (Ag-Pb-Au mine, amended with dolomite) sourced from southeastern Arizona, United States. B. curtipendula tolerated elevated concentrations of multiple phytotoxic trace elements in the tailings (Mn, Pb, Zn), stabilizing them in roots without foliar translocation. Adding compost and endophyte seed coats improved plant growth, microbial biomass, and organic matter accumulation despite stark differences in the geochemical and physical characteristics of the mining wastes. The widespread grass B. curtipendula is a potential candidate for re-vegetating mine wastes when seeded with soil additives to increase pH and with microbial and organic amendments to increase plant growth. This study quantifies improvements to plant growth, soil fertility, and trace element stabilization with a municipal waste compost topdressing and diazotrophic endophyte seed coating in two common hard rock mining wastes of the western United States. It establishes that a widespread perennial grass, Bouteloua curtipendula, can grow despite high concentrations of phytotoxic trace elements and minimal soil nutrients, and stabilizes trace elements on or in its roots, making it a suitable option for re-vegetation or phytostabilization of hard rock mining wastes.
Content Analysis and Digital Data: Methodological Solutions between Tradition and Innovation. The Case of Digital Campaigns as Meeting Ground of Expertises and Research Perspectives

Subjects: content analysis; digital campaigns; integrated analysis approach

description: In our Platform Society, Content Analysis represents a bridge between the past and the future: thanks to technological advancements, this technique can perform its typical functions more efficiently, but it can also penetrate new fields. The authors present the case of digital campaigns, by way of a strategy that enhances both the text-based material in a strict sense, and the entire multimedia system interrelated with the units under analysis. The research examples – selected from the analysis of Facebook posts published by the main Italian political forces during the digital campaign for the 2018 General Elections – have the purpose of explicating how specific methodological choices and investigation styles can be “reused” in other study contexts. This paper proposes the integrated use of CA as a survey, statistical textual analysis and qualitative CA, further to the idea that the combined application of these can limit the disadvantages connected to the exclusive use of specific instruments, increasing overall advantages. Finally, CA is presented as the springboard for other research initiatives: from the investigation of the points of view/the social profiles of the political actors associated with the posting activity, to the political message analysis in the other (on/offline) contexts in which it appears; from the analysis of communication strategies (interpreted on the basis of the media channels), to the study of social reactions-interactions the message generates.
