description: The COBRA Experiment searches for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay. The observation of this decay would provide the absolute mass of the neutrino and clarify the question whether the neutrino is its own anti particle, a so called Majorana particle, or not. For the search COBRA applies CdZnTe room temperature semiconductor detectors. CdZnTe can be operated as a pixelated detector or with a Coplanar Grid (CPG) readout. Both detector types are a possible option for the COBRA Experiment, and in this work their prospects and suitability was investigated. Data measured with a large volume pixel detector was reproduced in Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations. With these simulations the veto capabilities and the most dangerous background contributions for COBRA were determined. It was shown that the background level can be reduced by several orders of magnitude by applying fiducial volume cuts. This is especially efficient for the reduction of background from alpha particles. The main remaining background for pixel detectors was found to derive from rare high energetic gamma radiation. For the COBRA CPG set-up at the Italian underground laboratory LNGS, a major contribution in the development of new readout electronics was made. Data taken with this new electronics was evaluated to determine the largest remaining background sources of the COBRA LNGS test set-up. As main background sources alpha-decays of Pt-190 and Po-210 were identified and their influence could be significantly reduced. For the rare alpha decay of Pt-190 a half-life of (5.8 +- 1.0 (stat.) +- 0.7 (syst.)) *10^11 years was determined. The search for small signals in sparse data requires special analysis methods. For the analysis of COBRA data a new unbinned extended maximum likelihood fitter was developed, thoroughly tested with Monte Carlo data and applied to LNGS data. With the achieved background reduction and the new analysis method, former COBRA half life limits for neutrinoless double beta decay were improved by more than a factor of two. For Cd-116 and Te-130 upper limits of 2.4*10^20 years and 1.1*10^21 years were obtained respectively.

description: We study the labor-supply effects of subsidized minimum wages in a structural household model with married and single households. In the model, married women's hours react relatively strongly to minimum wages due to substitution effects within the home production of couples while other population groups show ambiguous reactions. An empirical analysis for Germany shows that minimum wages would affect total labor supply only weakly while, in our baseline experiments, married women's average hours increase by 3-6%. Further, we finnd that costs of a subsidized minimum wage are high and increase sharply in its level while its labor-supply effects level out.

description: The study was undertaken at Ethio Telecom Head Office on the topic "The Roles of Training and Development in enhancing Employees' Performance" The purpose of the study was to assess the role of Training and Development in enhancing employee performance. The methodology that was used for the study was descriptive. Primary data was collected from a sample of 86 (Eighty six) respondents by using convenience sampling method. Questionnaire and interview was used in the collection of data for analysis. The study revealed that the role of training and development in enhancing employee performance in the organization was very important in addressing the organization issues such as lack of management support for training and development programmes, which constrained training and development. It was also found that training and development in Ethio Telecom was not properly addressed as a key tool in enhancing employee performance. The major challenges of training and development in Ethio telecom could be inadequate time and resource, financial problem, inadequate planning, lack of coordination and inability to transfer learning from training to workplace. The study recommended that in order for Ethio Telecom to be successful as the leading Telecom Company in Ethiopia, managements must empower all departments to engage in the training and development of employees to enhance the potential and strengthen employees' Performance.

description: An integrable deformation of the well-known Neumann-Rosochatius system is studied by considering generalised bosonic spinning solutions on the eta-deformed AdS_5 x S^5 background. For this integrable model we construct a 4x4 Lax representation and a set of integrals of motion that ensures its Liouville integrability. These integrals of motion correspond to the deformed analogues of the Neumann-Rosochatius integrals and generalise the previously found integrals for the eta-deformed Neumann and (AdS_5 x S^5)_eta geodesic systems. Finally, we briefly comment on consistent truncations of this model.

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

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of advertising on sales volume within beer industry in case of Addis Ababa city. The study focused on four determinants namely; advertising media factor, advertising message factor, advertising source factor and advertising receiver factor which affect sales volume in beer industries. The study used quantitative research approach to have a better insight and gain a richer understanding about the effect of those factors on sales volume in beer industry and the researcher has employed explanatory research design to objectively answer the research questions. Both probability and non-probability sampling were used in the sampling technique. Purposive sampling, which are of non-probability sampling, were used to select outlets among the total number of outlets legally registered in Addis Ababa city. Simple random sampling technique, which is of probability sampling, was used to select the respondents among the total number outlet owners and/or managers found from the selected outlets. For achieving the study objective, 384 sample respondents were selected and out of these 381 respondents were properly respond the questioner data and collected in 5-point Likert scale questionnaire with closer assistance of the researcher. The data, then, analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics using linear regression. By the findings, out of the proposed four factors in affecting sales volume in beer industry in case of Addis Ababa city, the four factors namely; advertising media factor, advertising message factor, advertising source factor and advertising receiver factor were found to be statistically significant. Furthermore, on the basis of the research findings, appropriate recommendations along with implications for further studies have been forwarded

description: In live and studio recordings unexpected sound events often lead to interferences in the signal. For non-stationary interferences, sound source separation techniques can be used to reduce the interference level in the recording. In this context, we present a novel approach combining the strengths of two algorithmic families: NMF and KAM. The recent KAM approach applies robust statistics on frames selected by a source-specific kernel to perform source separation. Based on semi-supervised NMF, we extend this approach in two ways. First, we locate the interference in the recording based on detected NMF activity. Second, we improve the kernel-based frame selection by incorporating an NMF-based estimate of the clean music signal. Further, we introduce a temporal context in the kernel, taking some musical structure into account. Our experiments show improved separation quality for our proposed method over a state-of-the-art approach for interference reduction.

 FOLDER "Calculating von Bertalanffy growth rates": We calculated seven life history traits from a DEB-IPM parameterised for each species. The DEB-IPM takes a number of parameters. Most of these we took from the literature (see main text of the paper) but for some species we had to calculate the von Bertalanffy growth rate from observations on cell growth. These von Bertalanffy growth rates are calculated in the R script VONBERTALANFFY.R

 FOLDER "Calculating life history traits" Here we calculate the life history traits (see Table 2 in the paper) from the DEB-IPMs parameterised for all species. The values of all parameters for all species are in Table1Data.txt
 To run this code:
 Open Matlab and run commmand:
 CalculatingLifeHistoryTraits
 This script reads in Table1Data.txt (with all parameter values). The output is a table called All_Species, which has all the calculated life history traits. Row numbers correspond to rows in Table1Data. These results are presented in Table 3 of the paper.
 CalculatingLifeHistoryTraits.m calls on DEBIPMShrink_MicroOrganism.m, which calls on BigMatrixShrink_MicroOrg.m, LifeHistory.m and OffspringDist.m. - DEBIPMShrink_MicroOrganism.m is where all life history traits are calculated - BigMatrixShrink_MicroOrg.m has the four fundamental functions of the DEB-IPM (eqns 3-8 in the paper). - LifeHistory.m and OffspringDist.m are used to calculate lx and mx schedules.

 FOLDER "PCA"
 Here we run the phylogenetic PCA, followed by the 'normal' PCA. This script is divided into five parts: PART A : Create tree from phylogenies obtained from open sources PART B : Perform a phylogenetically-informed PCA on the life history quantities PART C : Plotting the results of the phylogenetically informed PCA PART D : Plotting of the traitgram PART E : Run non-phylogenetic PCA and plot results

description: Kirstie's talk at Danish National Data Science PhD Meetup on 31 January 2024

Abstract: There are many reasons to work openly. "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow", and anyone can participate in creating and reusing the software. Together can build a more sustainable, accountable, fair, and explainable data science ecosystem, that is greater than any one individual, team or organisation could create themselves. It can be very hard to get started working openly though. We may not be incentivised to share our learnings, potentially eroding market advantage. We may feel vulnerable and exposed to put work that is not perfect or complete out into the world for anyone to see and comment on. There are socio-technical skills and interactions that can make the process challenging. In this talk, Kirstie will give an introduction to version control, linting, testing, code review, and maintenance of open research projects on GitHub. No doctoral student can fix all the structural challenges of academic incentives on their own, but everyone can take little steps towards feeling confident collaborating and creating with others. All attendees will be invited to join the 800+ members of the open source, open collaboration, and community-driven Turing Way community. Developed on GitHub under open source licences, our shared goal is to provide all the information that researchers and data scientists in academia, industry and the public sector need to confidently explore the benefits of open ways of working.

Bio: Dr Kirstie Whitaker is a passionate advocate for making science "open for all" by promoting equity and inclusion for people from diverse backgrounds. She leads the Tools, Practices and Systems research programme at The Alan Turing Institute, the UK's National Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. Kirstie founded The Turing Way, an openly developed educational resource that enables researchers and citizen scientists across government, industry, academia and third sector organisations to embed open source practices into their work. She holds a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of California at Berkeley, is a Fulbright scholarship alumna, and was a 2016/17 Mozilla Fellow for Science.

description: Supermassive stars (SMS; ~ 10^5 M_sun) formed from metal-free gas in the early Universe attract attention as progenitors of supermassive black holes observed at high redshifts. To form SMSs by accretion, central protostars must accrete at as high rates as ~ 0.1-1 M_sun/yr. Such protostars have very extended structures with bloated envelopes, like super-giant stars, and are called super-giant protostars (SGPSs). Under the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium, SGPSs have density inverted layers, where the luminosity becomes locally super-Eddington, near the surface. If the envelope matter is allowed to flow out, however, a stellar wind could be launched and hinder the accretion growth of SGPSs before reaching the supermassive regime. We examine whether radiation-driven winds are launched from SGPSs by constructing steady and spherically symmetric wind solutions. We find that the wind velocity does not reach the escape velocity in any case considered. This is because once the temperature falls below ~ 10^4 K, the opacity plummet drastically owing to the recombination of hydrogen and the acceleration ceases suddenly. This indicates that, in realistic non-steady cases, even if outflows are launched from the surface of SGPSs, they would fall back again. Such a "wind" does not result in net mass loss and does not prevent the growth of SGPSs. In conclusion, SGPSs will grow to SMSs and eventually collapse to massive BHs of ~ 10^5 M_sun, as long as the rapid accretion is maintained.

description: Residency programs leverage the acquisition of critical care competencies through off-service rotations in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, recent literature questions the effectiveness of increasing the exposition of residents to critical care units to improve their critical care competencies. We aimed to describe the barriers to learning in the ICU from the perspective of internal medicine (IM) residents and intensivists. A qualitative description methodology was applied to data gathered during an ICU quality improvement initiative in a large tertiary academic hospital. Verbatim transcriptions of 12 focus groups including 22 IM residents and 17 intensivists were assessed through thematic data analysis. We identified three key themes and 13 subthemes related to barriers to learning. Aspects of the environment such as the slow socialization process of residents to the ICU environment and stakeholders’ perceptions influenced the quality of learning interactions. Dedicated teaching was further influenced by factors related to the IM residency curricula (e.g. competing co-curricular demands) and contributed to tensions in delivering a standardized ICU curriculum. This study provides a description of educational barriers that may be present during ICU rotations. Recognizing these barriers may help clinical teachers improve their trainees’ educational experience.

description: Inclusive educational leaders promote teacher team functioning. To support leader inclusiveness, we designed and implemented a faculty development programme focusing on leader identity formation. We investigated (1) how participants’ leader identity developed throughout the programme and (2) how the design principles contributed to this process, according to participants. A design-based research approach was followed. Participants were 7 course coordinators, leading an interdisciplinary teacher team. To study leader identity development, participants repeatedly filled out a validated questionnaire. To investigate how design principles contributed, observational field notes, facilitator debriefings, a programme evaluation questionnaire and a semi-structured focus group were used. Thematic analysis was applied for qualitative data. Participants gained broader views on leadership, moving from individual dominance towards engaging team members. Most participants initially experienced a deconstruction of their former leader identity and became motivated to improve leadership qualities. Competence-building, reflecting and receiving feedback on workplace experiences, and practicing in a safe environment were perceived to be key for identity development. We developed and evaluated a leader identity programme which can convert teachers’ classic leadership views towards views incorporating social interactions and relationships. We demonstrated how social interactions provide opportunities to learn from pe.ers in the work environment.

description: Public opinion regarding EU integration has become increasingly important in light of both increasing public scepticism to integration and the EU’s gradual shift towards integration of core state powers (CSPs). This article contributes to an emerging literature studying support for integration of core state powers by investigating whether such integration, given its greater potential for polarisation and activation of nationalist identities, is more likely to be opposed than regulatory integration. The results show that some CSP integration may meet greater support than regulatory integration. They also show that a larger number of exclusively national citizens support externally, rather than internally, oriented CSP integration. This suggests that what policy area a policy belongs to may be more important for predicting contestation of its integration than whether it is a core state or regulatory power.

description: Interprofessional education (IPE) about patient safety positively impacts safety and reduces errors but is challenging to deliver. We aimed to determine if a synchronous virtual IPE program using storytelling and interactive learning impacted student perceptions about patient safety. An IPE patient safety program involving medical and pharmacy students was synchronously delivered virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was framed using storytelling about a medication error told by a family member. Post-program survey data, exploring participants’ perspectives on the program, collected between July 2020 and November 2020 was retrospectively reviewed. Quantitative results were grouped by the five components of the program. Responses within each category were averaged to generate a summary measure of each student’s experience. Qualitative feedback from two survey questions was evaluated. There were 236 (96.7% of participants) completed surveys included in the analysis. High proportions of participants responded favorably across all five components of the survey. Qualitative responses were largely positive, with themes of increased empathy, behavior, and attitude change, and meaning making. An interactive IPE patient safety program using storytelling about a real-life medication error to frame activities and utilizing a virtual platform was a favorable and impactful method to educate students.

description: Percolation threshold of a network is the critical value such that when nodes or edges are randomly selected with probability below the value, the network is fragmented but when the probability is above the value, a giant component connecting large portion of the network would emerge. Assessing the percolation threshold of networks has wide applications in network reliability, information spread, epidemic control, etc. The theoretical approach so far to assess the percolation threshold is mainly based on spectral radius of adjacency matrix or non-backtracking matrix, which is limited to dense graphs or locally treelike graphs, and is less effective for sparse networks with non-negligible amount of triangles and loops. In this paper, we study high-order non-backtracking matrices and their application to assessing percolation threshold. We first define high-order non-backtracking matrices and study the properties of their spectral radii. Then we focus on 2nd-order non-backtracking matrix and demonstrate analytically that the reciprocal of its spectral radius gives a tighter lower bound than those of adjacency and standard non-backtracking matrices. We further build a smaller size matrix with the same largest eigenvalue as the 2nd-order non-backtracking matrix to improve computation efficiency. Finally, we use both synthetic networks and 42 real networks to illustrate that the use of 2nd-order non-backtracking matrix does give better lower bound for assessing percolation threshold than adjacency and standard non-backtracking matrices.

description: Induction programmes aim to ease the transition from medical student to doctor. The interim foundation year 1 (FiY1) placement, introduced in the first COVID-19 wave, provided experience in advance of the Foundation Year 1 (FY1) start in August; providing more time and enhanced responsibilities than traditional induction programmes. This study examines the effects of the FiY1 placement on anxiety levels and preparedness for FY1. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study using data from four cohorts of FY1s who completed the online National FY1 induction survey from 2017 to 2020 (n = 4766). Questions evaluated self-reported preparedness and anxiety levels. Differences in preparedness and anxiety levels of FiY1 and non-FiY1 participants in 2020, and the 2017–2019 participants (non-FiY1 controls), were evaluated. FiY1s in 2020 reported higher self-reported preparedness (79%) than non-FiY1s (54%) in 2020 (p = <0.001) and the control 2017–2019 cohort (63.8%) (p < 0.001). Fewer FiY1s experienced pathological anxiety (29.3% versus 40.8% for non-FiY1s; p = 0.001). Time spent in an FiY1 role is associated with an increase in self-perceptions of preparedness and a reduction in anxiety. These data indicate that time spent in an FiY1 role may have utility in further improving the transition period from medical school to FY1.

description: Thin films of the iron-based superconductor BaFe2(As1-xPx)2 (Ba122:P) were fabricated on polycrystalline metal-tape substrates with two kinds of in-plane grain boundary alignments (well aligned (4 deg.) and poorly aligned (8 deg.)) by pulsed laser deposition. The poorly aligned substrate is not applicable to cuprate-coated conductors because the in-plane alignment >4 deg. results in exponential decay of the critical current density (Jc). The Ba122:P film exhibited higher Jc at 4 K when grown on the poorly aligned substrate than on the well-aligned substrate even though the crystallinity was poorer. It was revealed that the misorientation angles of the poorly aligned samples were less than 6 deg., which are less than the critical angle of an iron-based superconductor, cobalt-doped BaFe2As2 (~9 deg.), and the observed strong pinning in the Ba122:P is attributed to the high-density grain boundaries with the misorientation angles smaller than the critical angle. This result reveals a distinct advantage over cuprate-coated conductors because well-aligned metal-tape substrates are not necessary for practical applications of the iron-based superconductors.

description: Dual-process theory characterizes clinical reasoning (CR) as Type 1 (intuitive) and Type 2 (analytical) thinking. This study examined CR on a summative clinical clerkship structured clinical oral examination (SCOE). 511 clinical clerks at the University of Toronto underwent SCOEs. Type 1, Type 2, and Global CR performance were compared to other internal medicine clerkship assessments using descriptive statistics and Spearman correlations. Clinical clerks achieved mean marks >75% on the three clinical reasoning stations, on Type 1 and 2 CR tasks, and the overall SCOE. Performance on the SCOE CR stations correlated with each of the other clerkship assessments: written examination, inpatient, and ambulatory clinic assessments. The correlation of performance between Type 1 and Type 2 clinical reasoning tasks was statistically significant but weak (rs = 0.28). This suggests that defined measures of Type 1 and Type 2 reasoning were indeed assessing distinct constructs. Clinical clerks used both Type 1 and Type 2 reasoning with success. This study’s characterization of Type 1 and Type 2 CR as separate domains, distinct from existing measures on the SCOE as well as the other clerkship assessments, can suggest a further addition to multimodal clerkship assessment.

description: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Electronic Tax Registers (ETRs) in the processing of Value Added income. The study sought to determine the effect Electronic Tax register effect on administration cost and compliance cost, the extent of tax evasion while using ETRs and audit follow up effects. The study sought to establish if the Electronic Tax Registers had increased the speed at which taxpayers processed their VAT returns and if there were any associated costs in the processing of VAT. The population under study encompass of 3000VAT registered, 11 ETRs experts and ultimate tax payers with no limited number of people in Addis Ababa City. The main instrument of collecting primary data was the questionnaires while secondary data was obtained from the Ethiopia Revenue Customs Authority (ERCA). Analysis of data was done using multiple regression and descriptive statistics. The findings of this research are ETRs has a positive effect on VAT returns and others independent variables has a significant effect on VAT income except compliance cost

description: The vertical structure of stationary thin accretion discs is calculated from the energy balance equation with heat generation due to microscopic ion viscosity η and electron heat conductivity κ, both depending on temperature. In the optically thin discs it is found that for the heat conductivity increasing with temperature, the vertical temperature gradient exceeds the adiabatic value at some height, suggesting convective instability in the upper disc layer. There is a critical Prandtl number, Pr = 4/9, above which a Keplerian disc become fully convective. The vertical density distribution of optically thin laminar accretion discs as found from the hydrostatic equilibrium equation cannot be generally described by a polytrope but in the case of constant viscosity and heat conductivity. In the optically thick discs with radiation heat transfer, the vertical disc structure is found to be convectively stable for both absorption dominated and scattering dominated opacities, unless a very steep dependence of the viscosity coefficient on temperature is assumed. A polytropic-like structure in this case is found for Thomson scattering dominated opacity.

Free votes and the analysis of recorded votes: evidence from Germany (1949–2021)

description: The literature on legislative voting either explicitly excludes free votes from its analysis, does not distinguish them from other recorded votes, or analyses only topic-specific subsets of them. This research note shows all three approaches to be problematic, and argues for a reconsideration of how free votes are approached in the literature. Drawing on a dataset covering all recorded votes in the German Bundestag (1949–2021), and analysing the topics, initiators and voting behaviour on all free votes held, it is shown that free votes are frequent, address a broad range of issues, and display substantial variation in legislative behaviour. Most importantly, there is a strong indication that free votes are held on topics on which parties refrain from taking a position. The findings have substantial implications for the study of parliamentary floor voting.
