description: Decision Support System (DSS) refers to computer systems designed to help with decision making process. DSS usage are now common in both personal and commercial decision making; including those related to the Islamic faith. Simple Applications (Apps) that help with simple decisions such as to ascertain halal statuses are prevalent. To what extent can DSS facilitate more complicated Islamic decision making such as fiqh ruling, hadith classification and zakat or faraid computations? This paper aims to review DSS initiatives (academic and commercial) intended for the more complicated Islamic or Shariah decision making process and to identify the potentials and challenges especially in the contemporary ijtihad of reviewing and certifying the Shariah compliant statuses of Islamic finance products and services. It is expected that the new digital mindset created by IR 4.0, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic; paved the way for the huge potential of Islamic DSS; especially in the Islamic Banking and Finance industry. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology makes it possible to represent Islamic knowledge into computer processable format to enable complex Shariah decision making. The main challenge is to get a human Shariah expert that is capable of translating his/her knowledge into computable format which leads to lack of Islamic DSS(s) in the market that can be utilized to support Shariah related decision making.

description: The structure of the NGC 6251 jet on the milliarcsecond scale is investigated using images taken with the European VLBI Network and the Very Long Baseline Array. We detect a structural transition of the jet from a parabolic to a conical shape at a distance of (1-2) x 10^5 times the Schwarzschild radius from the central engine, which is close to the sphere of gravitational influence of the supermassive black hole (SMBH). We also examine the jet pressure profiles with the synchrotron minimum energy assumption to discuss the physical origin of the structural transition. The NGC 6251 jet, together with the M87 jet, suggests a fundamental process of structural transition in the jets of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Collimated AGN jets are characterized by their external galactic medium, showing that AGN jets interplay with the SMBH and its host galaxy.

Year: 2017

description: The objective of the study is to assess human resource capacity building initiatives and engagement of selected international research organizations, and investigate achievements and challenges as well as provide with recommendations that help Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research to realize its missions through competitive and fully capacitated human resource. This study reviewed the composition of employees, with sample size of 124, with regard to age, service year in EIAR, educational and position profile in the institute; and their familiarity in human resource capacity building training practice – need assessment, training deliver methods, monitoring and evaluation of training and capacity building interventions. The study also reviewed and analyses the involvement of selected CG center organizations in area of human resource capacity development programs for EIAR employees. The study analyzed the data collected through semi-structured survey questions, key informant interviewees from EIAR and experts from selected partner CG research centers based in Ethiopia such as ILRI, IFPRI and CIMMYT. The study reveals that, mainly in the organization, there is an absence of systematic employee training needs assessment and weak participation of relevant stakeholders in the training planning and need assessment stages. On top of that, the partner organizations face challenges while they seek to engage in capacity building training for EIAR employees. The finding of the study has been drawn from the analysis on the existence of big gap in terms of maintaining the collaboration between the EIAR and the partner organizations. Besides the culture of evaluation training and development is found weak which indeed needed to be customized and implemented to keep the learning process from identified improvement areas. Finally the researcher recommends the implementation of systematic capacity building training and development process with comprehensive guideline that aligned with holistic approach and sound engagement of partner international organizations for impactful training and capacity development intervention at all level in Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research

A Critical Shariah and Maqasid Appraisal of Islamic Credit Cards
Creators: name: Abozaid, Abdulazeem
name: Khateeb, Saqib Hafiz
Publisher: name: European Journal of Islamic Finance
Year: 2022

description: Islamic banks and financial institutions have recently started issuing Islamic credit cards as substitutes for conventional credit cards after the Shariah scholars, due to the Riba involved, unanimously deemed the traditional credit cards unlawful. However, Islamic credit cards have different structures; some have been structured based on Eina or Tawarruq sales even though these two types of deals were ruled unlawful by the Fiqh academies. However, the most common structure of Islamic credit cards is the Ijarah model, where the card issuer is deemed a lessor of the services embedded in the credit card, apart from the provision of credit, against fixed periodical fees. Although this structure seems acceptable from a Shariah point of view and has been endorsed by the Shariah boards of the issuing Islamic banks, it involves some issues that must be carefully addressed. The paper elaborates on these critical issues and analyses the different contractual relationships involved in these cards to outline the prospectus of a genuine Shariah-compliant credit card.

We also show that a Lipschitz differentiability space which is bi-Lipschitz embeddable into a euclidean space is rectifiable as a metric measure space, and we conclude with an application to Alexandrov spaces.

The Effects Of Packaging On Over The Counter Medicine Buyers Behavior: A Case Study In Chain Community Pharmacies Of Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Mengistu, Biruk
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Companies in order to create the right packaging for their products, they must understand the consumer buying process and understanding the role and the impact of packaging as a variable that can influence the purchase decision. So, by understanding what factors influence the buying behavior and what packaging elements are most important help companies making the right decisions about packaging their products. The purpose of this study is to explain the effect of packaging on buyers buying behavior of over the counter medicines. Using judgmental sampling a structured questionnaire written in Amharic was distributed personally to 384 over the counter medicine buyers in chain community pharmacies of Addis Ababa. 360 responses were found to be workable by this study. SPSS V 20.0 was used to analyze the data collected and to test the hypotheses put forward. The finding shows that age of respondents and marital status have statistically significant association with consumer buying behavior of OTC medicine while gender and level of education don't have statistically significant association with consumer buying behavior.The finding also shows that Package size, packaging material, package design, packaging color, package product information and country of origin were found to be positively and significantly affecting overall buyers buying behavior respectively as they were hypothesized. While graphics of the package did not have a significant effect on buyers buying behavior of OTC medicines. Based on the result of the study, it was recommended that pharmaceutical companies should pay proper attention for good and innovative package.
Automatic Vision-Based Parking Slot Detection and Occupancy Classification

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: Parking guidance information (PGI) systems are used to provide information to drivers about the nearest parking lots and the number of vacant parking slots. Recently, vision-based solutions started to appear as a cost-effective alternative to standard PGI systems based on hardware sensors mounted on each parking slot. Vision-based systems provide information about parking occupancy based on images taken by a camera that is recording a parking lot. However, such systems are challenging to develop due to various possible viewpoints, weather conditions, and object occlusions. Most notably, they require manual labeling of parking slot locations in the input image which is sensitive to camera angle change, replacement, or maintenance. In this paper, the algorithm that performs Automatic Parking Slot Detection and Occupancy Classification (APSD-OC) solely on input images is proposed. Automatic parking slot detection is based on vehicle detections in a series of parking lot images upon which clustering is applied in bird's eye view to detect parking slots. Once the parking slots positions are determined in the input image, each detected parking slot is classified as occupied or vacant using a specifically trained ResNet34 deep classifier. The proposed approach is extensively evaluated on well-known publicly available datasets (PKLot and CNRPark+EXT), showing high efficiency in parking slot detection and robustness to the presence of illegal parking or passing vehicles. Trained classifier achieves high accuracy in parking slot occupancy classification.

A Maqasid-ul-Shari’ah Analysis of the Permissible Futures Trading in Islamic Financial Markets

Publisher: name: European Journal of Islamic Finance
Year: 2022

description: Despite the widespread use of futures contracts as a risk mitigation instrument in the current financial markets, Islamic economies commonly feel uncomfortable with it for fear of its potential clash with the Islamic law of contracts. This research aims to justify only the futures trading that contributes to reducing investors’ financial risks. This paper argues that a risk-hedging futures contract can Islamically be justified if Shari’ah rules are construed in the light of its broader purpose, what is known as Maqasid-ul-Shari’a. A qualitative research methodology with a deductive interpretive approach is used in this study to analytically explore the role of Maqasid-ul-Shari’a in authorising permissible futures trading. The relevant data is collected from primary sources (Quran and Sunnah) and secondary sources (Islamic jurisprudence, textbooks, journal articles and review papers). By deploying the theory of Maqasid-ul-Shari’a, the prevalent Islamic jurisprudential approach is constructively reinterpreted to formulate general principles and guidelines under which futures trading can comfortably be approved. The study's overall findings suggest that on several counts of necessities, risk-hedging futures help Muslims preserve both the individual and the public wealth, safeguard the human self, honour and religion, facilitate their transactions and prevent future business conflicts. The Maqasid-ul-Shariah analysis of futures trading adds to the permissibility view that risk hedging futures trading should be recognised and declared as permissible not simply because they do not conflict with any prohibition or benefit the individual parties involved but also because they serve the broader interests of the public (al-masalih-al-aammah). This study is the first to analytically discuss the permissibility of futures trading under a combined reinterpreted guideline of Islamic jurisprudence and Maqasid-ul-Shariah.

Politics of Development and Resettlement in Ethiopia: is it Villagization or Land Grabbing? the Case of Gambella Regional State
Creators: name: Mosisa, Moti
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: The years 2010 and 2011 were ever unique for Gambella, because it was the first historical and memorable time when Gambella has received tremendous reactions from national and international medias, activists and scholars, fromgovernment and non-government actors. This was, due to the parallel episode of two globally and nationally sensitive issues of giving out virgin and fertile land for local and foreign investors and planning of resettling geographically scattered 45,000 people together through villagization program. Therefore, this study was conducted with the general objective of addressing the conflicting perspectives over the programs pertaining to villagization and land grabbing. To this end, interview, personal observation, focus group discussion have been used intensively with all concerned government officials, investors and local people. And the study revealed that the government provoked only the independence and non-correlational nature of villagization and land leasing programs, while the fact is thatthereis implicitlyplanned long term means-ends correlation in between the programs in the future. But, for now both are going on in the region concomitantly. Moreover, the Michael Carnea's resettlement based model and, Borras and Franco's land ownership and land usage change model were used by the study. Accordingly, the programs resulted in multi-faceted problems and the shift of usage of land from forest and governmentally called idle and marginal land to food and non-food productions and, shift of ownership of land from the ownership of indigenous people to the ownership of land by the "elites" of politics and economy is visible in the region. Therefore, it is the call of this paper for policy formulators' toredesign and re consider the programs in a way it can make indigenous people the beneficiary of the land leasing and other land related projects going on in the region. Keywords: villagization, resettlement, land grabbing, development
Inclusive search for supersymmetry using razor variables in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An inclusive search for supersymmetry using razor variables is performed in events with four or more jets and no more than one lepton. The results are based on a sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 inverse femtobarns collected with the CMS experiment at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 13 TeV. No significant excess over the background prediction is observed in data, and 95% confidence level exclusion limits are placed on the masses of new heavy particles in a variety of simplified models. Assuming that pair-produced gluinos decay only via three-body processes involving third-generation quarks plus a neutralino, and that the neutralino is the lightest supersymmetric particle with a mass of 200 GeV, gluino masses below 1.6 TeV are excluded for any branching fractions for the individual gluino decay modes. For some specific decay mode scenarios, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded. For decays to first- and second-generation quarks and a neutralino with a mass of 200 GeV, gluinos with masses up to 1.4 TeV are excluded. Pair production of top squarks decaying to a top quark and a neutralino with a mass of 100 GeV is excluded for top squark masses up to 750 GeV.

Shadow Bank Systems in European Affairs: Measuring Capability of Fraud Risk in Special Reports

Publisher: name: European Journal of Social Impact and Circular Economy
Year: 2022

description: In the last twenty years, the European Court of Auditors has placed increasing importance on the production of “special reports” examining the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of EU spending. This institutional focus on performance audit, alongside traditional financial and compliance audit, has occurred at a time when the European Union is increasingly evaluating its own policies and programmes, under political pressure to demonstrate their added value with shadow bank systems. The rapid growth of the market-based financial system since the mid-1980s changed the nature of financial intermediation in the European States profoundly. Within the market-based financial system, “shadow banks” are particularly important institutions. Shadow banks are financial intermediaries that conduct maturity, credit, and liquidity transformation without access to central bank liquidity or public sector credit guarantees. Examples of shadow banks include finance companies, asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) conduits, limited-purpose finance companies, structured investment vehicles, credit hedge funds, money market mutual funds, securities lenders, and government-sponsored enterprises. This intermediation chain binds shadow banks into a network, which is the shadow banking system. The shadow banking system rivals the traditional banking system in the intermediation of credit to households and businesses. This study contributes theoretically to research and empirically to management practice of agile marketing concepts in digital trsformation and international business context, in order to develop effective competencies of speed, flexibility, and customer responsiveness in marketing strategies and operations.

description: A major hurdle in the simulation of the steady state of epidemic processes is that the system will unavoidably visit an absorbing, disease-free state at sufficiently long times due to the finite size of the networks where epidemics evolves. In the present work, we compare different quasistationary (QS) simulation methods where the absorbing states are suitably handled and the thermodynamical limit of the original dynamics can be achieved. We analyze the standard QS (SQS) method, where the sampling is constrained to active configurations, the reflecting boundary condition (RBC), where the dynamics returns to the pre-absorbing configuration, and hub reactivation (HR), where the most connected vertex of the network is reactivated after a visit to an absorbing state. We apply the methods to the contact process (CP) and susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) models on regular and scale free networks. The investigated methods yield the same epidemic threshold for both models. For CP, that undergoes a standard collective phase transition, the methods are equivalent. For SIS, whose phase transition is ruled by the hub mutual reactivation, the SQS and HR methods are able to capture localized epidemic phases while RBC is not. We also apply the auto-correlation time as a tool to characterize the phase transition and observe that this analysis provides the same finite-size scaling exponents for the critical relaxation time for the investigated methods. Finally, we verify the equivalence between RBC method and a weak external field for epidemics on networks.

description: The recent measurement of the differential $ γ+c $-jet cross section, performed at the Tevatron collider in Run II by the D0 collaboration, is studied in a next-to-leading order (NLO) global QCD analysis to assess its impact on the proton parton distribution functions (PDFs). We show that these data lead to a significant change on the gluon and charm quark distributions. We demonstrate also that there is an inconsistency between the new high precision HERA I+II combined data and Tevatron measurement. Moreover, in this study we investigate the impact of older EMC measurements of charm structure function $F_{c}^{2}$ on the PDFs and compare the results with those gaining from the analysis of Tevatron data. We show that both of them have a same impact on PDFs, and thus can be recognized as same evidences for inefficiency of perturbative QCD in dealing with the charm production in some kinematic regions.

The effect of service recovery on customer satisfaction The case of Ethiopian Postal Service Enterprise
Creators: name: Tibebu, Tegen
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of service recovery on customer satisfaction in Ethiopian postal service enterprise. In today"s hyper-competitive business environment, customer satisfaction is vital for success. However, in many businesses, service failure may surface despite consistent avoidance efforts. Although predominant attention on service recovery has been assessed in hospitality context like in hotel and restaurant setting, there are very limited explorations in other service industry, especially in postal service industry. A conceptual framework and three prepositions were developed indicating that customer satisfaction is influenced by three justice dimensions of service recovery which is distributive justice, procedural justice and interactional justice. Data was gathered by means of survey using a questionnaire mainly regarding service recovery, customer satisfaction. The sample size of the study is 384 customers who experienced a service failure and recovery with the postal service. Convenience sampling was used for this study and the respondents were selected at Ethiopian postal service enterprise. The results show that satisfaction with service recovery dimensions (Interactional justice, procedural justice) have significant impact on customer satisfaction. Whereas distributive justice has not significant effect on customer satisfaction. Therefore, it is advisable for the company to take the necessary measures regarding procedural justice by making the company's policies and procedures to be clear and workable. Regarding to interactional justice, the company should arrange extensive training program for its employees on customer service. And encourage, reward for best performer employees

Abstract: This study dealt with the problem of the violet economy, as it sought to analyze the various opinions and theses that were associated with it in terms of concept (origin, definition and importance), sectors(cultural economy, economical culturaland creativity) and the relationships that exist between them in the sense of how the violet economy? Is realistically represented by presenting various trends and literature related to cultural economy, economic culture, and the orange economy. Finally, the study concluded that the violet economy is viewed through three main lenses: a cultural economy lens, an economic culture lens, and a creative lens. In order for there to be a real violet economy, attention must be paid to these three dimensions.This alliance is promising for the future because it not only provides cultural products and industries and requires not only an economic culture, but also an orange economy that takes advantage of the cultural innovation aspect of goods and services.

description: The introduction of the circular economy by firms entails, among other issues, an evolution in accounting and reporting since firms must implement specific activities to close the loops, are involved in collaborative solutions in the value chain of sharing economy and industrial symbiosis, and make decisions in a decoupling scenario. The adoption of a circular business model implies the need to properly account for the financial implications of the environmental investments, as well as to report exhaustively the environmental impacts avoided. In addition, to change from a linear economy to a circular one raises the need to measure and analyse activities and impacts other than those environmental and social ones that have yet to be included in sustainability accounting and disclosure. In this scenario, an outlined framework is provided in this paper to offer a better understanding of how the circular economy-related principles can be integrated into sustainability accounting given a strong approach to sustainability. An integrated analysis of the implications that the circular business model has for sustainability accounting is carried out to overlap the circular economy introduction at the micro level and to offer a new vision of the implication of the circular economy in businesses and society that remains underexplored in the literature.

description: Die räumliche Aufteilung periphärer Membran-Proteine, wie GNBP (Ras) moduliert deren Spezifität der Signalverarbeitung innerhalb der Zelle. Reversible Palmitoylierung durch Palmitoylacyltransferasen (PATs der DHHC der DHHC Familie) erzeugt die Verteilung von Ras hin zu der Plasma-Membran (PM) über den sekretorischen Weg, indem der entropie-getriebenen Gleichverteilung palmitoylierter Proteine auf alle Zellmembrane entgegenwirkt wird (Rocks et al., 2010). In dieser Arbeit wird beschrieben, dass DHHC-PATs sich nicht durch Substratspezifität auszeichnen und es wird postuliert, dass DHHC Proteine die Palmitoylierungsreaktion nicht katalysieren. Stattdessen verstärken sie die Konzentration des Palmitat- Thioester-Zwischenproduktes und erzeugen auf diese Weise ein zytosolisches Reservoir um Palmitoylierung zu vereinfachen. In dieser Arbeit soll ebenfalls beschrieben werden, wie GSF PDEδ den zügigen Transfer von Ras Protein zwischen PM, Golgi Apparat, endoplasmatischem Retikulum (ER) und Zytoplama unterstützt. Weiterhin wird aufgezeigt werden, dass dies allein solche farnesylierten Ras Proteine betrifft, welche depalmitoyliert oder, im Fall von Ras mit polykationischem Motiv, PM-desorbiert sind. In Verbindung mit dem Palmitoylierungskreislauf wirkt PDEδ, indem es die Diffusion von depalmitoyliertem Ras vereinfacht und erlaubt so dessen kinetisches Eingefangenwerden am Golgi Apparat ermöglicht. Andererseits erhöht die Solubilisierung von Kras, welches ein polybasisches Segment auszeichnet, weg von Endomembranen die Geschwindigkeit, mit der Kras von der PM wieder eingefangen werden kann, wodurch dessen Equilibriumsverteilung aufrecht erhalten wird. Dies ist wichtig, da PDEδ auf diese Art die durch Ras vermittelte Signaltransduktion verstärkt, indem es die Ras-Konzentration an der PM erhöht, und im Gegenzug bewirkt das Herunterregeln von PDEδ ein Unterdrücken von regulierten und onkogenischen Ras Signalen. Zusätzlich wird die Regulierung von farnesyliertem Ras*PDEδ Einheiten via G-Protein Arl2/Arl3 auf eine GTP-abhängige Art beschrieben. Diese Erkenntnis deckt einen von PDEδ-abhängigen Mechanismus auf, der für die räumliche Organisation von Ras Proteinen in Zellmembranen verantwortlich ist und dessen Einfluss auf das Signalverhalten von Ras Wildtyp- bzw. mutierter Form.

description: We study the evolution of higher-order nonclassicality and entanglement criteria in atmospheric fluctuating-loss channels. By formulating input-output relations for the matrix of moments, we investigate the influence of such channels on the corresponding quantumness criteria. This generalization of our previous work on Gaussian entanglement [M. Bohmann et al., Phys. Rev. A 94, 010302(R) (2016)] not only exploits second-order-based scenarios, but it also provides a detailed investigation of nonclassicality and entanglement in non-Gaussian and multimode radiation fields undergoing a fluctuating attenuation. That is, various examples of criteria and states are studied in detail, unexpected effects, e.g., the dependency of the squeezing transfer on the coherent displacement, are discovered, and it is demonstrated that non-Gaussian entanglement can be more robust against atmospheric losses than Gaussian one. Additionally, we propose a detection scheme for measuring the considered moments after propagation through the atmosphere. Therefore, our results may help to develop, improve, and optimize non-Gaussian sources of quantum light for applications in free-space quantum communication.

description: تناولت هذه الدراسة إشكالية الاقتصاد البنفسجي، حيث سعت إلى تحليل مختلف الآراء والأطروحات التي ارتبطت به من حيث المفهوم (النشأة، التعريف والأهمية)، القطاعات (الصناعات الثقافية، الثقافية الاقتصادية والابداع) والعلاقات القائمة بينها، بمعني كيف يتم تمثل الاقتصاد البنفسجي واقعيًا؟ من خلال عرض مختلف التوجهات والأدبيات المرتبطة بالاقتصاد الثقافي والثقافة الاقتصادية والاقتصاد البرتقالي. وتوصلت الدراسة في الأخير إلى أنّ الاقتصاد البنفسجي ينظر إليه من خلال ثلاثة عدسات أساسية هي: عدسة اقتصاد ثقافي، عدسة ثقافة اقتصادية وعدسة إبداعية. ولكي يكون هناك اقتصاد بنفسجي حقيقي لابد من الاهتمام بهذه الأبعاد الثلاثة، حيث يعد هذا التحالف واعداً للمستقبل لأنّه لا يوفر المنتجات والصناعات الثقافة ولا يتطلب ثقافة اقتصادية فقط، ولكنه أيضًا يتطلب الاقتصاد البرتقالي الذي يستفيد من الجانب الإبداعي الثقافي للسلع والخدمات. كلمات مفتاحية: اقتصاد بنفسجي؛ اقتصاد ثقافي؛ ثقافة اقتصادية؛ اقتصاد ابداعي؛ اقتصاد برتقالي. تصنيفاتJEL: Z10، P35، L83. Abstract: This study dealt with the problem of the violet economy, as it sought to analyze the various opinions and theses that were associated with it in terms of concept (origin, definition and importance), sectors(cultural economy, economical culturaland creativity) and the relationships that exist between them in the sense of how the violet economy? Is realistically represented by presenting various trends and literature related to cultural economy, economic culture, and the orange economy. Finally, the study concluded that the violet economy is viewed through three main lenses: a cultural economy lens, an economic culture lens, and a creative lens. In order for there to be a real violet economy, attention must be paid to these three dimensions.This alliance is promising for the future because it not only provides cultural products and industries and requires not only an economic culture, but also an orange economy that takes advantage of the cultural innovation aspect of goods and services. Keywords: violet economy; cultural economy; economic culture; creative economy; Orange Economy. JEL Classification Codes : Z10, P35, L83.

The Practices and Challenges of Occupational Health and Safety in Ethiopia: the Case of Akaki Textile and Garment Factory
Creators: name: Tibebe, Solomon
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: The study assessed the current challenges of occupational health and safety practices and the extent of occupational health hazards of the textile workers as well as the cost implication of these work-related incidents and diseases among ATF. Four main categories of Akaki textile and garment factory workers were targeted in AACA. The sample consisted of 240 workers taking respondents randomly from each of the four work categories according to their workers number proportionately. The study indicated that work in the factory severely affected worker's health, as most activities are insecure, hazardous and take place in unhealthy and unsafe environment. In the study area the particular nature of work in the integrated textile manufacturing created various types of health hazards among the selected respondents such as headache, eye and skin infection, back and chest pain, asthma, loss of interest and mental fatigue. Results of the study showed that the highest 32 percent of the workers reported that they were affected by physical hazards, followed by 26 percent by chemical hazards and the total economic cost of work related injuries and illness among the four work departments for the last Ethiopian budget year(2013/2014) was Birr. 13,090. From the foregoing, a major recommendation is that both government and employing authority should ensure that they adhere strictly to International Labour Organization safety and working conditions or standard in order to increase productivity through improved welfare and health of workers

description: Antioxidant and antimicrobial effects, total phenolic content and flavonoid concentrations of methanolic, acetone and ethyl acetate extracts from Xeranthemum annuum L. were investigated in this study. The total phenolic content was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and ranged between 101.33 to 159.48 mg GA/g. The concentration of flavonoids in various X. annuum extracts was determined using spectrophotometric method with aluminum chloride and the results varied from 22.25 to 62.42 mg RU/g. Antioxidant activity was monitored spectrophotometrically using DPPH reagent and expressed in terms of IC50 (μg/ml), and it ranged from 59.25 to 956.81 μg/ml. The highest phenolic content and capacity to neutralize DPPH radicals were found in the acetone extract. In vitro antimicrobial activity was determined by microdilution method. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum microbicidal concentration (MMC) have been determined. Testing was conducted against 24 microorganisms, including 15 strains of bacteria (standard and clinical strains) and 9 species of fungi. Statistically significant difference in activity between the extracts of X. annuum L. was observed and the acetone extract was found most active. The activity of acetone extract was in accordance with total phenol content and flavonoid concentration measured in this extract. The tested extracts showed significant antibacterial activity against G+ bacteria and weak to moderate activity against other microorganisms. Based on the obtained results, X. annuum can be considered as a rich natural source of polyphenolic compounds with very good antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.

Year: 2016

description: Quantum mechanics allows paraparticles with mixed Bose-Fermi statistics that have not been experimentally confirmed. We propose a trapped-ion scheme whose effective dynamics are equivalent to a driven para-Bose oscillator of even order. Our mapping suggest highly entangled vibrational and internal ion states as the laboratory equivalent of quantum simulated parabosons. Furthermore, we show the generation and reconstruction of coherent oscillations and para-Bose analogs of Gilmore-Perelomov coherent states from population inversion measurements in the laboratory frame. Our proposal, apart from demonstrating an analog quantum simulator of para-Bose oscillators, provides a quantum state engineering tool that foreshadows the potential use of paraparticle dynamics in the design of quantum information systems.
