Year: 1998

description: In order to explore the magnitude of spec ific mental and behavioural disorders and their socio-demographic correlates in children, a study was conducted in Butajira, Southern Ethiopia, using the Amharic version of the Diagnostic Instrument for Children and Adolescents (OICA). A total of 1477 children were assessed; 3.5 % of the study subjects had at least one or more mental or behavioural disorders. The most frequent diagnoses were anxiety disorder (1.6%), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (1.5%); and disruptive behavioural di sorder ( 1.5%). Mood disorders (1%) and elimination di sorders (0.8%) were re latively less common. Residence in urban area was associated with ADHD:OR(95 % CI) = 3.03 (1. 11-8.04).ADHD was also associated with increasing age, having a single parent, or a chronica lly sick family member: OR (95 % CI) = 3.32 ( 1.15-10.33), 4.63(1.25-1 7.3 1), 5.56(2.16-1 4.16), respectively. Disruptive behavioural disorders were significantly assoc iated wi th increasing age, parents not li ving together, severe financial problem and with the presence of chronical ly sick fam ily member OR (95 % CI) =4.41(1.40-15.45),4.63(1.05- 17.31),2.77(1.05,7.12), and 8.15 (3.23,20.56), respective ly. Living in a house with more than one room was also significantly but inversely, associated with anxiety disorder: OR(95%CI)=0.39 (0.16,0.95). Mood disorders were associated with the presence of parents not living together, financial prob lem and chroni ca lly s ick family member: OR (95 % CI ) = 4.44 (1.00, 18 .57), 5.57 (1.82, 17.20), and 12.12(3.89,38.84), respective ly. Enuresis was found to have no statistically significant association with any of the variab les mentioned.

description: The present dissertation attempts to study the meaning and the content of assessment in education, and more specifically the assessment of blind students of a school for the blind in Central Macedonia. The concept of assessment is first explored based on the international and domestic literature and then by using semi-structured interviews, which were conducted with teachers of the specific school for the blind. The literature review and interviews attempt to elaborate the concept of assessment and to explore the forms, techniques and means that teachers use when assessing their students. From the thematic analysis of the interview data, the following findings emerged and were discussed: the focus on teaching and the assessment of skills, the mandatory nature of the grade and the use of descriptive assessment, the influence of psychodiagnostic tests on assessment, the emphasis on initial assessment and oral speech, the multilevel concept of assessment and interdisciplinary assessments.

description: This work demonstrates high-speed 2D wall temperature measurements occurring during flame-wall interaction (FWI) within a narrow channel. Such measurements are essential to understand transient wall heat transfer and flame behavior occurring within micro-combustors and designated engine crevices. Wall temperature is measured using the phosphor Bismuth-doped Scandium vanadate (ScVO4:Bi3+). ScVO4:Bi3+ exhibits a short phosphorescence lifetime (2 microseconds at room temperature), enabling kHz measurement rates. ScVO4:Bi3+ also exhibits a high temperature sensitivity, which yields single-shot precision less than 0.5 K within the temperature range of 295 - 335 K. A frequency-doubled Ti:Sapphire laser emitting light at 400 nm is used to excite ScVO4:Bi3+, and wall temperature is measured within a 22 x 22 mm2 region with 380 micrometer spatial resolution. Phosphor thermometry and CH* imaging are combined at 1 kHz to measure the spatiotemporal dynamics of the flame and wall temperature (Twall) within a 2 mm crevice passage in a fixed volume chamber designed for heat transfer studies. Measurements describe Twall signatures associated with transient FWI events, including unique Twall features associated with wrinkled flame fronts. For our operating conditions, Twall associated with flame cusps consistently exhibit temperatures 5 - 20 K lower than flame crest regions. The most extreme difference is seen for large cusp formation, where local wall cooling is noticeable at the trough of the flame cusp. This cooling feature may be caused by intrinsic flame-flow instabilities, which locally and temporally cool the wall.

description: Background: Disclosure of HIV sero-status and adherence to Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) medication is important for the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS. Little is known about the relationship between HIV positive status disclosure and highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) adherence in developing countries including Ethiopia. Objective: To assess the relationship between HIV positive status disclosure and HAART adherence among PLHIV attending ART clinic of Ambo Hospital in West Shewa Zone. Methods: A cross-sectional study using quantitative research approach and supplemented by qualitative methods was conducted from January to February 2012 among 420 people living with HIV (PLHIV) attending ART clinic in Ambo Hospital. Simple random sampling method was used to select the study participants. Data were collected through face to face interview and focus group discussion using pre-tested structured questionnaire and semi structured guides, respectively. The data were summarized in percentages, tables and graphs; crude and adjusted odds ratios using logistic regression analysis were used to explore associations between different variables and HIV status disclosure and ART adherence. Results: The study revealed that the prevalence of HIV status disclosure to at least one person and highly active anti-retroviral therapy adherence was 86.2% (95% CI: 82.52-89.34) and 86% (95% CI: 82.2-89.13) respectively. Prevalence of HAART adherence among PLHIV who disclosed their sero status was 88.7% (95% CI: 84.95-91.75) where as the prevalence of HAART adherence among PLHIV who didn"t disclose their status was 69% (95% CI: 55.46-80.46). HIV status disclosure to at least one person (AOR=3.42, 95%CI: 1.60-7.29) and being literate (AOR=2.13, 95%CI: 1.08-4.22) were significantly associated with HAART adherence. Conclusions: HIV positive status disclosure was a significant predictor of HAART adherence. Hence, intervention programs to improve HAART adherence should consider both the potential benefits and risks associated with HIV status disclosure and assist PLHIV to prepare for HIV status disclosure and reduce potential negative impacts that come with it

title: The Black Experience in 1960s Czechoslovak Cinema
Creators: name: Storrie, Gareth Lewis
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Over the last several decades, a sizable body of academic research has been conducted on the representation of blackness in individual national cinemas. Scholarship on this topic has been most fruitful in those nation-states where members of the African diaspora have long been visible, both in day-to-day society and within the creative arts. The national cinemas of France, Great Britain, and the United States continue to wrestle with the legacies of colonialism and slavery, but what of those countries whose involvement with the African continent and its peoples is less visible, less understood? This thesis critically engages with how blackness was represented in the cinema of Czechoslovakia in the 1960s and how external socio-cultural realities shaped depictions and ideas about its essence. In particular, this thesis examines the extent to which stereotypes of inherent black musicality and black sexuality are visible in several films produced in the 1960s, and how they have been intertextually influenced by an array of other visual media produced in the Czech Lands and Czechoslovakia, such as postage stamps, propaganda posters, paintings, travelogues, and books. This thesis also discusses how blackness could be shaped to serve the ideological narrative of the Czechoslovak authorities and what these images added to the global discourse on blackness in the 1960s, a decade in which black political revolutions arose in the United States and on the African continent.

description: Whether in the thermodynamic limit, vanishing magnetic field $h\rightarrow 0$, and nonzero temperature the spin stiffness of the spin-$1/2$ $XXX$ Heisenberg chain is finite or vanishes within the grand-canonical ensemble remains an unsolved and controversial issue, as different approaches yield contradictory results. Here we provide an upper bound on the stiffness and show that within that ensemble it vanishes for $h\rightarrow 0$ in the thermodynamic limit of chain length $L\to\infty$, at high temperatures $T\rightarrow\infty$. Our approach uses a representation in terms of the $L$ physical spins $1/2$. For all configurations that generate the exact spin-$S$ energy and momentum eigenstates such a configuration involves a number $2S$ of unpaired spins $1/2$ in multiplet configurations and $L-2S$ spins $1/2$ that are paired within $M_{\rm sp}=L/2-S$ spin-singlet pairs. The Bethe-ansatz strings of length $n=1$ and $n>1$ describe a single unbound spin-singlet pair and a configuration within which $n$ pairs are bound, respectively. In the case of $n>1$ pairs this holds both for ideal and deformed strings associated with $n$ complex rapidities with the same real part. The use of such a spin $1/2$ representation provides useful physical information on the problem under investigation in contrast to often less controllable numerical studies. Our results provide strong evidence for the absence of ballistic transport in the spin-$1/2$ $XXX$ Heisenberg chain in the thermodynamic limit, for high temperatures $T\to\infty$, vanishing magnetic field $h\rightarrow 0$ and within the grand-canonical ensemble.

description: In this work, we report the fabrication of fully automated experimental setup for high temperature Seebeck coefficient (α) measurement. The K-type thermocouples are used to measure the average temperature of the sample and Seebeck voltage across it. The temperature dependence of the Seebeck coefficients of the thermocouple and its negative leg is taken care by using the integration method. Steady state based differential technique is used for α measurement. Use of limited component and thin heater simplify the sample holder design and minimize the heat loss. The power supplied to the heater decides the temperature difference across the sample and the measurement is carried out by achieving the steady state. The LabVIEW based program is built to automize the whole measurement process. The complete setup is fabricated by using commonly available materials in the market. This instrument is standardized for materials with a wide range of α and for the wide range of ΔT across the specimen. For this purpose, high temperature measurement of α of iron, constantan, bismuth, and Bi_0.36 Sb_1.45 Te_3 samples are carried out and data obtained from these samples are found to be in good agreement with the reported data.

description: The activity of a kinesin is largely determined by the approximately 350 residue motor domain, and this region alone is sufficient to classify a kinesin as a member of a particular family. The Kinesin-13 family are a group of microtubule depolymerizing kinesins and are vital regulators of microtubule length. Kinesin-13 s are critical to spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in both mitotic and meiotic cell division and play crucial roles in cilium length control and neuronal development. To better understand the evolution of microtubule depolymerization activity, we created a synthetic ancestral Kinesin-13 motor domain. This phylogenetically inferred ancestral motor domain is the sequence predicted to have existed in the common ancestor of the Kinesin-13 family. Here we show that the ancestral Kinesin-13 motor depolymerizes stabilized microtubules faster than any previously tested depolymerase. This potent activity is more than an order of magnitude faster than the most highly studied Kinesin-13, MCAK and allows the ancestral Kinesin-13 to depolymerize doubly stabilized microtubules and cause internal breaks within microtubules. These data suggest that the ancestor of the Kinesin-13 family was a ‘super depolymerizer’ and that members of the Kinesin-13 family have evolved away from this extreme depolymerizing activity to provide more controlled microtubule depolymerization activity in extant cells.

description: ABSTRACT
 The offshore environment is a high-risk and demanding workplace exposing crew members to various physical and psychological stressors. Health and safety programs are implemented to prevent accidents and promote well-being among personnel. This study aims to determine the association between vital exhaustion and psychosocial health among offshore workers in the Philippines. Quantitative non-experimental descriptive correlational design was used. Standardized questionnaires namely: Maastricht Vital Exhaustion (MVEQ) and Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaires (COPSOQ III) were utilized to gather data from fifty-five (55) respondents. The majority of the participants were male, belong to late middle adult age group (41-60 years old), completed a bachelor’s degree, were assigned in the maintenance and marine departments and have been working for 11-35 years offshore. Offshore workers have low vital exhaustion (VE) levels (M= 5.25, SD= 6.66) and good psychosocial health (PH) scores. Highest recorded scores fall under Influence and Development (M= 76.16, SD= 16.61), Outcome Scales (M= 75.68, SD= 17.58) and Interpersonal relations and leadership (M= 68.08, SD= 11.35). Lower mean scores in Further Parameters (M= 47.27, SD= 24.73) and Demands at Work (M= 40.9, SD= 14.15) also translate to favorable PH. There was a significant relationship among four (4) psychosocial health scales (p-value at .05), Demands at Work (< .001), Interpersonal relations and leadership (.001), Further Parameters (.001) and Outcome Scales (< .001), and the level of VE of offshore workers. There was also a significant relationship between VE (p-value at .05) and the demographic profile of offshore workers in terms of job assignment (.020) and work type (.002) however there was no significant association between PH and all demographic variables considered in the study. Majority of the
 respondents also claimed that environmental conditions were well-designed (M= 78.18, SD= 26.81) and safety concerns (M= 82.72, SD= 26.3) were managed appropriately in the workplace.

description: The recent discovery of an Earth-like exoplanet around Proxima Centauri has shined a spot light on slowly rotating fully convective M-stars. When such stars rotate rapidly (period $\lesssim 20$ days), they are known to generate very high levels of activity that is powered by a magnetic field much stronger than the solar magnetic field. Recent theoretical efforts are beginning to understand the dynamo process that generates such strong magnetic fields. However, the observational and theoretical landscape remains relatively uncharted for fully convective M-stars that rotate slowly. Here we present an anelastic dynamo simulation designed to mimic some of the physical characteristics of Proxima Centauri, a representative case for slowly rotating fully convective M-stars. The rotating convection spontaneously generates differential rotation in the convection zone which drives coherent magnetic cycles where the axisymmetric magnetic field repeatedly changes polarity at all latitudes as time progress. The typical length of the `activity' cycle in the simulation is about nine years, in good agreement with the recently proposed activity cycle length of about seven years for Proxima Centauri. Comparing our results with earlier work, we hypothesis that the dynamo mechanism undergoes a fundamental change in nature as fully convective stars spin down with age.

Assessment of magnitude and factors that affect care givers' disclosure of HIV diagnosis to their HIV infected children in Addis Ababa Ethiopia 2013/2014.
Creators: name: Negewo, Roman
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Background: Most studies conducted on HIV disclosure to infected children report on the challenges experienced by caregivers to disclose HIV status to their HIV infected children. Therefore it"s essential to look for factors that affect care givers' disclosure of HIV diagnosis to their HIV infected children in these settings. Objective: To assess magnitude and factors affecting care givers' disclosure of HIV diagnosis to their HIV infected children in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Methods: A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted. A study was conducted from February 2014 to April 2014 among 372 primary caregivers of HIV infected children aged 6-15 years in nine health facilities, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Data were collected through structured pre tested questionnaire. It consisted of both closed- and open-ended questions. Data were entered into EPI Info version 3.54 and analyzed by using SPSS version 21 for windows. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean, median, standard deviation, and range were used to summarize the results. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were done. Qualitative study were used to support the quantitative study. Data were summarized by using tables. Results: Based on caregivers reports, 111 (29.8%) of the children knew about their HIV positive status. Marital status of caregivers, age of the child, Caregiver"s HIV status, those caregivers discuss about disclosure issue with healthcare providers and children who get aid or support from charity organizations. were found to have statistically significant association with disclosure of HIV positive status to HIV infected children at p<0.05 in multivariate analysis. Conclusion: Parents or guardians may have a critical need for health education and counseling in order to develop a plan for disclosing to their children. Addressing and scaling up efforts on stigma and discrimination in neighborhoods, communities, and school settings; and developing guideline for disclosure of children with HIV/AIDS in Ethiopian context will increase the rate of disclosure of children"s HIV positive status.

description: ChatGPT is a state-of-the-art (SOTA) chatbot. Although it has potential to support English as a foreign language (EFL) students' writing, to effectively collaborate with it, a student must learn to engineer prompts, that is, the skill of crafting appropriate instructions so that ChatGPT produces desired outputs. However, writing an appropriate prompt for ChatGPT is not straightforward for non-technical users who suffer a trial-and-error process. This paper examines the content of EFL students' ChatGPT prompts when completing a writing task and explores patterns in the quality and quantity of the prompts. The data come from iPad screen recordings of secondary school EFL students who used ChatGPT and other SOTA chatbots for the first time to complete the same writing task. The paper presents a case study of four distinct pathways that illustrate the trial-and-error process and show different combinations of prompt content and quantity. The cases contribute evidence for the need to provide prompt engineering education in the context of the EFL writing classroom, if students are to move beyond an individual trial-and-error process, learning a greater variety of prompt content and more sophisticated prompts to support their writing.

Could Week recall be accurate measurement of Exclusive Breastfeeding among infants less than 6 months of agein Butajira Ethiopia, 2018?
Creators: name: Desalegn, Sewitemariam
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Background:WHO has developed an indicator to measure exclusive breastfeeding using 24 hoursrecall. This single day indicator doesn't capture the usual feeding history which may lead to exaggeration of exclusive breastfeeding rateand misclassification of infants as being exclusively breastfed where infact the infant is not. This indicates the need to look for an indicator which could provide better information on the actual breastfeeding practice. Objective:To assess the validity ofweek recall in estimating exclusive breast feeding rate when compared to cumulative result of14repeated 24 hour recall among infants less than 6 months of age in Butajira, Ethiopia. Method: Community based cross sectional study was conducted among 408 mother infant pair less than 6 months of age in ButajiraHDSS. Data on Exclusive breastfeeding practice was collected using 24 hour recall, and short period recalls for 14 consecutive days. Short period recalls was conducted starting from the second day to the last day of interview. During short period recall interview, mother was asked to recall 48 hour feeding practice, 72 hour feeding practice, 96 hour feeding practice and so on until the last day of interview. Data was entered by using Epi data software version 3.2 and exported to STATA for analysis. Estimation of the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was done using the methods. McNemar test was done to assess if there was significant difference in EBF rate between the methods. P-value of <0.05 was considered to indicate a significant difference in prevalence. Sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value was computed to check the validity on the performance of each method in estimating Exclusive breastfeeding prevalence against the cumulative of 14 repeated 24 h recall. Result: The highest prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding (71.4%) was obtained when single 24 hour recallwas used. 14 repeated 24 hour recall resulted in EBF rate of 47.31%. Taking 14 repeated 24 hour recall as a reference, the lowest discrepancy (6.9%)obtained was from 7 days recall.Seven day(week) recall also reflected EBF practices with sensitivity of 96.7% and specificity of 83.5%.Conclusion:Current EBF status based on 24 hour EBF recall does not accurately represent the feeding pattern. Week recall had high specificity and presented a prevalence that is close to gold standard methodindicating it could be an alternative method to assess EBF practice.

description: The problem of a linear damped noisy oscillator is treated in the presence of two multiplicative sources of noise which imply a random mass and random damping. The additive noise and the noise in the damping are responsible for an influx of energy to the oscillator and its dissipation to the surrounding environment. A random mass implies that the surrounding molecules not only collide with the oscillator but may also adhere to it, thereby changing its mass. We present general formulas for the first two moments and address the question of mean and energetic stabilities. The phenomenon of stochastic resonance, i.e. the expansion due to the noise of a system response to an external periodic signal, is considered for separate and joint action of two sources of noise and their characteristics.

More about unphysical zeroes in quark mass matrices

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We look for all weak bases that lead to texture zeroes in the quark mass matrices and contain a minimal number of parameters in the framework of the standard model. Since there are ten physical observables, namely, six nonvanishing quark masses, three mixing angles and one CP phase, the maximum number of texture zeroes in both quark sectors is altogether nine. The nine zero entries can only be distributed between the up- and down-quark sectors in matrix pairs with six and three texture zeroes or five and four texture zeroes. In the weak basis where a quark mass matrix is nonsingular and has six zeroes in one sector, we find that there are 54 matrices with three zeroes in the other sector, obtainable through right-handed weak basis transformations. It is also found that all pairs composed of a nonsingular matrix with five zeroes and a nonsingular and nondecoupled matrix with four zeroes simply correspond to a weak basis choice. Without any further assumptions, none of these pairs of up- and down-quark mass matrices has physical content. It is shown that all non-weak-basis pairs of quark mass matrices that contain nine zeroes are not compatible with current experimental data. The particular case of the so-called nearest-neighbour-interaction pattern is also discussed.

description: Holographic Intellectual Voice Assistant (HIVA) aims to facilitate human computer interaction using audiovisual effects and 3D avatar. HIVA provides complete information about the university, including requests of various nature: admission, study issues, fees, departments, university structure and history, canteen, human resources, library, student life and events, information about the country and the city, etc. There are other ways for receiving the data listed above: the university's official website and other supporting apps, HEI (Higher Education Institution) official social media, directly asking the HEI staff, and other channels. However, HIVA provides the unique experience of "face-to-face" interaction with an animated 3D mascot, helping to get a sense of 'real-life' communication. The system includes many sub-modules and connects a family of applications such as mobile applications, Telegram chatbot, suggestion categorization, and entertainment services. The Voice assistant uses Russian language NLP models and tools, which are pipelined for the best user experience.

description: Wild plants were taken into cultivation because of special features. Usually, medicinal plants or spices show distinct secondary metabolites combined with a specific pattern of these compounds. Typically, chromatographic methods like gas chromatography (GC) or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were applied as standard methods for a meaningful analysis of secondary metabolites. However, these methods are labor and time intensive. In the breeding process, usually numerous single plants have to be analyzed and therefore, high throughput methods are required. In this article, some examples for alternative strategies are given. Besides spectroscopic methods like near infrared (NIR), also biosensoric approaches should be considered. For instance, several enzymes can oxidize or hydrolyze secondary metabolites in dependence of their functional groups. Polyphenols can be determined by laccases. Polyphenols like catechins and flavonoids contribute to the bioactivity of many medicinal plants. Also cysteine sulfoxides, which are typical for Allium species like garlic and onions, can be enzymatically determined with high specificity. Finally, toxic cyanogenic glycosides can be quantified by the enzyme cyanidase.
Scale genesis and gravitational wave in a classically scale invariant extension of the standard model

description: We assume that the origin of the electroweak (EW) scale is a gauge-invariant scalar-bilinear condensation in a strongly interacting non-abelian gauge sector, which is connected to the standard model via a Higgs portal coupling. The dynamical scale genesis appears as a phase transition at finite temperature, and it can produce a gravitational wave (GW) background in the early Universe. We find that the critical temperature of the scale phase transition lies above that of the EW phase transition and below few $O(100)$ GeV and it is strongly first-order. We calculate the spectrum of the GW background and find the scale phase transition is strong enough that the GW background can be observed by DECIGO.

description: We propose a new way of investigating phase transitions in the context of information theory. We use an information-entropic measure of spatial complexity known as configurational entropy (CE) to quantify both the storage and exchange of information in a lattice simulation of a Ginzburg-Landau model with a scalar order parameter coupled to a heat bath. The CE is built from the Fourier spectrum of fluctuations around the mean-field and reaches a minimum at criticality. In particular, we investigate the behavior of CE near and at criticality, exploring the relation between information and the emergence of ordered domains. We show that as the temperature is increased from below, the CE displays three essential scaling regimes at different spatial scales: scale free, turbulent, and critical. Together, they offer an information-entropic characterization of critical behavior where the storage and processing of information is maximized at criticality.

What Factors Determine Delivery Practices of Pregnant Women?
Creators: name: Ayele, Binyam
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2005

description: Background:- Ensuring a skilled delivery attendant at each child birth is the most critical intervention in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. In Ethiopia the proportions of births attended by skilled personnel is very low and even for women who have access to the services. The proportion of birth occurring in health facilities is very low. Objective:- This study aims at identifying the factors that influence intention of pregnant women for their delivery and the factors that determine actual delivery service utilizations. Methods:- A prospective community based follow up study is conducted in Jimma town. Women in their child trimester were identified by a complete household survey. Subsequently relevant data were collected in two separated household survey. Results:- A total of 207 women were included in the study. Maternal age and educational status are significantly associated with place of delivery. Woman between 35-39 are less likely to deliver in HFs when compared to those between 15-39 ( OR = 0.06 and 95% CI=0.01 to 0.52) and those with formal education are more likely to deliver in HFs(OR=2.82 and 95%CI1.09 to 7.23). Women who attended ANC follow up ( OR = 2.63 and 95%CI= 1.11 to 6.23) women to whom their husbands and relatives prefer SDA ( OR = 4.78 and 95% CI=2.25 to 10.21) and those who can decide by themselves about getting ID services ( OR = 2.75 and 95 % CI = 1.3 to 5.78) are more likely to deliver in HFs. vii Conclusions:- Empowering disadvantaged women. Promoting ANC follow up and improving the information provision during the follow up. Interventions targeted at husbands and other relatives to direct their influence in favorable fashion and reaching out more women to provide relevant information about ID services are recommended

description: Background: The present study examined the extent to which grit, self-efficacy, and resilience are present in newly immigrated adolescents and how they differ from the norm population. The data was also examined for gender differences and correlations with the variables. Methods: The study examined newly immigrated adolescents (n=55) while using RS-13 (Resilience Scale), GSE (General Self-efficacy Scale) and the Grit-Scale. Furthermore, sociodemographic variables like age, religion and gender were collected. The study variables were self-reported and t-tests, asymptotic Mann-Whitney- U -Test and Bravais-Pearson correlation analysis were performed. Results: The participants showed a lower score regarding grit and general self-efficacy compared to the norm population, but they exhibited a higher resilience-score. Female participants demonstrated a lower resilience-score than male participants. Male participants showed lower general self-efficacy compared to female participants. There were no gender differences with regard to grit. The data revealed a negative correlation between resilience and grit and resilience and general self-efficacy.

description: We propose a novel algorithm to design user load-achieving pilot sequences that mitigate pilot contamination in multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) networks. To this end, we first derive expressions for the user load and the load region of the network considering both small-scale and large-scale propagation effects. We then develop the pilot sequence algorithm for multi-cell massive MIMO networks as per the rules of generalized Welch bound equality design. Notably, we find that our algorithm and the corresponding downlink power allocation ensure that the user load is achieved when the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) requirements for the users lie within the load region. Furthermore, we demonstrate the performance advantage of our proposed design relative to the existing designs, in terms of a larger load region and a higher maximum permitted SINR. Finally, we show that our proposed design can satisfy the pre-defined SINR requirements for users with a finite number of antennas at the base station (BS), while the existing designs cannot satisfy the same requirements even with an infinite number of antennas at the BS.
