description: Random planar graphs appear in a variety of context and it is important for many different applications to be able to characterize their structure. Local quantities fail to give interesting information and it seems that path-related measures are able to convey relevant information about the organization of these structures. In particular, nodes with a large betweenness centrality (BC) display non-trivial patterns, such as central loops. We first discuss empirical results for different random planar graphs and we then propose a toy model which allows us to discuss the condition for the emergence of non-trivial patterns such as central loops. This toy model is made of a star network with $N_b$ branches of size $n$ and links of weight $1$, superimposed to a loop at distance $\ell$ from the center and with links of weight $w$. We estimate for this model the BC at the center and on the loop and we show that the loop can be more central than the origin if $w

description: La ACF es una hemoglobinopatía estructural cuyo tratamiento contempla la terapia transfusional para las complicaciones agudas y crónicas. Las transfusiones simples se relacionan a efectos secundarios que pudieran ser controlados o evitados con el uso de exanguinotransfusión. Objetivos: Evaluar la efectividad de un protocolo modificado de exanguinotransfusión parcial en una población de pacientes pediátricos con ACF. Métodos: Estudio observacional descriptivo longitudinal, con pacientes con ACF que requirieron exanguinotransfusión parcial en la clínica Blas de Lezo durante 2018. Se midió hemoglobina, hematocrito, HbS, ferritina y PVM-ACM, al inicio del estudio y transcurridos 3 meses como mínimo. Se construyó una base de datos en Excel y el análisis estadístico se hizo con SPSS versión 22 y PRISM 6. Resultados: 22 pacientes (edad 9,5 años (RIC 4,75-15,25). 59,09% de género masculino. La ACF homocigota fue la forma más frecuente (18/22). La edad de la primera transfusión fue de 2 años (RIC 1,5-4,0). La diferencia de medias de ferritina post y pre fue 33,77 mcg/L (IC 95% -647,2 a 579,7 mcg/L); la exanguinotransfusión logró disminuir significativamente el porcentaje de HbS [- 26,16 IC 95% (-37.42 a -14.90) p < 0.0001], así como el nivel de hemoglobina [0,5955 IC 95% (0.2513- 0.9396) p 0,0017]; mientras que no se logró lo mismo con la PVM-ACM [ -19,58, IC 95% (-42.00 a 2.838) p 0,0829]. Conclusiones: Este protocolo de exanguinotransfusión es eficaz para la disminuir la HbS y su uso se relaciona con una menor probabilidad de sobrecarga de hierro en los pacientes sometidos a terapia transfusional crónica.

description: Mental health can be negatively affected during life to varying degrees, from minor indispositions created by daily debates, to major psycho-social traumas that have a significant and long-term impact. Physical injuries, especially those involving limb amputation, are probably the most traumatic and hard to accept events, as they cause severe biological, psychological and social damage to the individual. Losing a limb or part of a limb leads to significant physical disability, changes in physical appearance and self-esteem, difficulty returning to work and problems with social integration. Consequently, after an amputation operation, the patient's recovery must be approached with great care. Some of the patients adapt relatively easily to the new condition, while others successfully benefit from intensive recovery programs. Unfortunately, a small group of patients fail in post-operative recovery and some even believe that isolation/suicide could be a possible solution for their difficulties. The psychological response/behavior of patients to limb amputations is dependent on many factors, such as: personality, level of education, social status, the environment and culture from which it originates, the support from society in terms of their integration, age, gender, the affected limb and extent of amputation, accessibility to different methods of recovery/prosthetics, etc. This complexity of the factors involved in the post-operative recovery period of the amputee patient causes the rehabilitation programs to be extremely elaborate on the one hand, but also highly personalized according to the individual characteristics, on the other hand. In this review, aspects of the psychological rehabilitation of patients undergoing limb amputation are presented and updated. It seems that such measures should be approached interdisciplinary with the patient and initiated even before surgery, if possible, to achieve the best possible results.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Internal reports from Global Supply Chain Quality Assurance Team located in International Rescue Committee Head Quarter (based in New York) showed that the Ethiopia country office supply chain performance needs improvement. The matrix for performance evaluation was mainly, integration, innovation, reliability, quality of work, efficiency and accountability. Therefore, the main objective of the study was to identify factors affecting the Humanitarian supply chain performance of International Rescue Committee-Ethiopia. The researcher used an explanatory design and conduct survey study of 94 respondents. Data was collected through questionnaire and structured interview. Data was analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Since version 20, descriptive statistics were used to compute frequencies and mean value. In addition inferential statistics also used for correlation and linear regression. The majority of the respondents showed that the humanitarian supply chain performance was moderate. The relationship of factors were tested by using Pearson correlation and the research question were tested using regression analysis. On the effect on the mentioned factors on supply chain performance, the study found that external rules and regulation has more effect on Humanitarian supply chain performance on the organization following by socio-economic and infrastructure while internal policy and procedure has the least effect compared to the others. The study recommended some of the factors such as market instability, security issue, government restriction and infrastructure require policy level advocacy, while others including some elements of infrastructure, internal policy and others require more investment in systems and more budgetary allocation from donors. Suggestions for further research includes that, the finding of this study on performance indicators was moderate to low however additional study is require for further identification on which performance indicator should be taking in to consideration. This study tried to see the Humanitarian supply chain performance from infrastructure, socio-economic, external rules and regulation and internal policy and procedure. There is need to have the perspective of beneficiaries and donors about the performance of supply chains in order to draw conclusions from more informed stand point.

description: Using thermodynamic relations and dimensional analysis we derive a general formula for the thermodynamical trace $2\mathcal{E}-DP$ for non-relativistic systems and $\mathcal{E-DP}$ for relativistic systems, where $D$ is the number of spatial dimensions, in terms of the microscopic scales of the system within the grand canonical ensemble. We demonstrate the formula for several cases, including anomalous systems which develop scales through dimensional transmutation. Using this relation, we make explicit the connection between dimensional analysis and the virial theorem. This paper is focused mainly on the non-relativistic aspects of this relation.

Honing Theory: A Complex Systems Framework for Creativity

description: This paper proposes a theory of creativity, referred to as honing theory, which posits that creativity fuels the process by which culture evolves through communal exchange amongst minds that are self-organizing, self-maintaining, and self-reproducing. According to honing theory, minds, like other selforganizing systems, modify their contents and adapt to their environments to minimize entropy. Creativity begins with detection of high psychological entropy material, which provokes uncertainty and is arousalinducing. The creative process involves recursively considering this material from new contexts until it is sufficiently restructured that arousal dissipates. Restructuring involves neural synchrony and dynamic binding, and may be facilitated by temporarily shifting to a more associative mode of thought. A creative work may similarly induce restructuring in others, and thereby contribute to the cultural evolution of more nuanced worldviews. Since lines of cultural descent connecting creative outputs may exhibit little continuity, it is proposed that cultural evolution occurs at the level of self-organizing minds, outputs reflect their evolutionary state. Honing theory addresses challenges not addressed by other theories of creativity, such as the factors that guide restructuring, and in what sense creative works evolve. Evidence comes from empirical studies, an agent-based computational model of cultural evolution, and a model of concept combination.

description: Tax non-compliance is an area of concern for all government and tax authorities, and it will continue to be an important issue that must be addressed. Regardless of time and place, the main issue faced by all tax authorities is that it has never been easy to persuade all taxpayers to comply with the regulations of a tax system. The objective of this study thus was, to assess the practices and challenges of block management system project for tax compliance improvement in the case of Ethiopian Revenues and Custom Authority. The study describes the practices and challenges of the BMS in respect to taxpayers' education, service delivery, door to door visit, tax law enforcement measures and audit procedures as the main aspects of tax compliance improvement measures in the BMS. For the achievement of its objective, the study employed descriptive research design and both primary and secondary data were used. Questionnaires, in-depth interview, and document review were therefore, used as data collection tools. Furthermore, it employed purposive and convenience sampling techniques. For data analyses purpose, the research employed tables, figures, frequency and percentage. The results indicated that tax compliance improvement measures undertaken by the block management system project has been challenged in multiple ways and the taxpayers' voluntary compliance remain at its lower level in Merkato. The results of this study can inform policymakers on the extent to which corrective measure should be taken to fully utilize the benefits of block management system in improving taxpayers' voluntary compliance.

To investigate the potential value of these algorithms as tools for computational creativity research, we explain and schematize the essential aspects of the algorithms' operation and give visual examples of their output. We discuss the relationship of the two algorithms to human cognitive science theories of creativity such as conceptual blending theory and honing theory, and characterize the algorithms with respect to generation of novelty and aesthetic quality.

description: This paper presents NetWorks (NW), an interactive music generation system that uses a hierarchically clustered scale free network to generate music that ranges from orderly to chaotic. NW was inspired by the Honing Theory of creativity, according to which human-like creativity hinges on (1) the ability to self-organize and maintain dynamics at the 'edge of chaos' using something akin to 'psychological entropy', and (2) the capacity to shift between analytic and associative processing modes. At the 'edge of chaos', NW generates patterns that exhibit emergent complexity through coherent development at low, mid, and high levels of musical organization, and often suggests goal seeking behaviour. The architecture consists of four 16-node modules: one each for pitch, velocity, duration, and entry delay. The Core allows users to define how nodes are connected, and rules that determine when and how nodes respond to their inputs. The Mapping Layer allows users to map node output values to MIDI data that is routed to software instruments in a digital audio workstation. By shifting between bottom-up and top-down NW shifts between analytic and associative processing modes.

description: Bioethanol production from lignocellulosic raw materials involves process steps like pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation and distillation. In this study, wheat straw was explored as feedstock for on-site cellulase production by T. reesei 3EMS35 mutant, and as a substrate for second generation bioethanol production from baker yeast. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractography (XRD) of untreated wheat straw (UWS) and acid treated wheat straw (TWS) were done to understand the structural organization and changes in the cellulase accessibility and reactivity. The effect of delignification and structural modification for on-site cellulase enzyme production was comparably studied. The efficiency of crude cellulase enzyme for digestion of UWS and TWS and then production of ethanol from TWS was studied using same-vessel saccharification and fermentation (SVSF) technique, both in shaking flasks as well as in fermenters. Two different methods of operation were tested, i.e. the UWS Enz method, where UWS was used for on-site enzyme production, and TWS Enz method where TWS was applied as substrate for cellullase production. Results obtained showed structural modifications in cellulose of TWS due to delignification, removal of wax and change of crystallinity. UWS was better substrate than TWS for cellulase production due to the fact that lignin did not hinder the enzyme production by fungus but acted as a booster. On-site cellulase enzyme produced by T. reesei 3EMS35 mutant hydrolyzed most of cellulose (91 %) in TWS within first 24 hrs. Shake flasks experiments showed that ethanol titers and yields with UWS Enz were 2.9 times higher compared to those obtained with TWS Enz method respectively. Comparatively, titer of ethanol in shake flask experiments was 10 % higher than this obtained in 3 L fermenter with UWS Enz. Outcomes from this investigation clearly demonstrated the potential of on-site cellulase enzyme production and SVSF for ethanol production from wheat straw.

description: Visual object tracking is the task of giving a unique ID to an object in a video frame, understanding whether it is present or not in a current frame and if it is present, precisely localizing its position. There are numerous challenges in object tracking, such as change of illumination, partial or full occlusion, change of target appearance, blurring caused by camera movement, presence of similar objects to the target, changes in video image quality through time, etc. Due to these challenges, traditional computer vision techniques cannot perform high-quality tracking, especially for long-term tracking. Almost all the state-of-the-art methods in object tracking use artificial intelligence nowadays, and more specifically, Convolutional Neural Networks. In this work, we present a Siamese based tracker which is different from previous works in two ways. Firstly, most of the Siamese based trackers takes the target in the first frame as the ground truth. Despite the success of such methods in previous years, it does not guarantee robust tracking as it cannot handle many of the challenges causing change in target appearance, such as blurring caused by camera movement, occlusion, pose variation, etc. In this work, while keeping the first frame as a template, we add five other additional templates that are dynamically updated and replaced considering target classification score in different frames. Diversity, similarity and recency are criteria to choose the members of the bag. We call it as a bag of dynamic templates. Secondly, many Siamese based trackers are vulnerable to mistakenly tracking another similar looking object instead of the intended target. Many researchers proposed computationally expensive approaches, such as tracking all the distractors and the given target and discriminate them in every frame. In this work, we propose an approach to handle this issue by estimate the next frame position by using the target's bounding box coordinates in previous frames. We use temporal network with past history of several previous frames, measure classification scores of candidates considering templates in the bag of dynamic templates and use tracker sequential confidence value which shows how confident the tracker has been in previous frames. We call it as robustifier that prevents the tracker from continuously switching between the target and possible distractors with this hypothesis in mind. Extensive experiments on OTB 50, OTB 100 and UAV20L datasets demonstrate the superiority of our work over the state-of-the-art methods.

description: Top-quark pair production at the LHC is directly sensitive to the gluon PDF at large x. While total cross-section data is already included in several PDF determinations, differential distributions are not, because the corresponding NNLO calculations have become available only recently. In this work we study the impact on the large-x gluon of top-quark pair differential distributions measured by ATLAS and CMS at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV. Our analysis, performed in the NNPDF3.0 framework at NNLO accuracy, allows us to identify the optimal combination of LHC top-quark pair measurements that maximize the constraints on the gluon, as well as to assess the compatibility between ATLAS and CMS data. We find that differential distributions from top-quark pair production provide significant constraints on the large-x gluon, comparable to those obtained from inclusive jet production data, and thus should become an important ingredient for the next generation of global PDF fits.

description: Project implementation vary in different organizations with regard to their scope, schedule, budget and objective which make the project unique in its character. Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are project driven organization which based on implementing project that uplift social deprivation without gaining profit. Therefore most of the project implemented by NGOs are donated by local or international fund which include personal donation, organizational and group of people by excluding payback for their own benefit. This study focused on local NGOs which implement the project by using local fund and used not more than 10% from international donation. The main objective of this study was to assess the practice and challenges of social work projects undertaken by local NGOs. Even though project is unique by its nature there are common areas that can be assess the practice of project implementation and challenges local NGOs faced nowadays. Based on pilot interview and literature review we extract different challenges and success factor that influence project implementation to assess the existing situation of local NGOs that found in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. To investigate local NGOs project implementation practice this study use both secondary and primary data collection technique; for the secondary data this study went through literature review to overlook NGOs historical back ground, existing implemented projects, success factor that influence project implementation and external and internal challenges. And based on that questionnaire develop to use as primary data collection techniques to collect the necessary data concerning the practice and challenges of social work projects implementation under taken by local NGOs in Addis Ababa. By locating the target group which is local NGOs that work on children development projects, which is 238 local NGOs questionnaire was used as primary data collection to gather data to made strong conclusion and recommendation. By using sampling, 43 local NGOs are selected randomly and from the sample 33 questionnaire collected from respondent, 8 sample does no longer exist as NGOs and 2 of them are not willing to give response. And the analysis is based on 33 local NGOs response on project implementation practice and its challenges. After analyzing the questionnaire the study arrived to the conclusion that project is implemented based on given schedule and there is fair level of governmental support and community participation but its challenging to implement project based on scope and quality. This study find fund and financial situation of the organization, and country regulation and policy as leading challenges that affect the social work project implantation practice in local NGOs.

title: Investigating Radiosensitivity of HPV-positive and HPV-negative Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Spheroids by PARP Inhibition

description: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most-common cancer over the world, and it remains a significant public health concern in the UK. A number of studies have indicated HPV type-16 infection is one of the main risk factors related with nearly 50% HNSCC cases. Interestingly, the survival rate of HPV-positive HNSCC patients is shown to be higher than HPV-negative status, due to an improved prognosis and better response to chemo- and/or radiotherapeutic strategies. Previously published studies in our group have demonstrated the increased radiosensitivity of HPV-positive HNSCC has been largely linked with defects in the signalling and the efficiency of DNA double strand break (DSB) repair. Therefore in this project, I demonstrate that HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) spheroids show higher radiosensitivity compared to HPV-negative OPSCC spheroids, due to the defective efficacy of DNA DSB repair. Subsequently, PARP inhibitors Olaparib and Talazoparib presented significant enhancement of radio-sensitisation on HPV-negative HNSCC spheroids. Moreover, HNSCC spheroid growth was more effectively suppressed by proton beam therapy in combination these PARP inhibitors. This research suggested that the combination of clinical PARPi and proton irradiation can become a potent treatment for HPV-negative HNSCC patients in the future.

System Level Numerical Analysis of a Monte Carlo Simulation of the E. Coli Chemotaxis

description: Over the past few years it has been demonstrated that "coarse timesteppers" establish a link between traditional numerical analysis and microscopic/ stochastic simulation. The underlying assumption of the associated lift-run-restrict-estimate procedure is that macroscopic models exist and close in terms of a few governing moments of microscopically evolving distributions, but they are unavailable in closed form. This leads to a system identification based computational approach that sidesteps the necessity of deriving explicit closures. Two-level codes are constructed; the outer code performs macroscopic, continuum level numerical tasks, while the inner code estimates -through appropriately initialized bursts of microscopic simulation- the quantities required for continuum numerics. Such quantities include residuals, time derivatives, and the action of coarse slow Jacobians. We demonstrate how these coarse timesteppers can be applied to perform equation-free computations of a kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of E. coli chemotaxis. Coarse-grained contraction mappings, system level stability analysis as well as acceleration of the direct simulation, are enabled through this computational multiscale enabling technology.

description: We present a new, efficient method for automatically detecting severe conflicts `edit wars' in Wikipedia and evaluate this method on six different language WPs. We discuss how the number of edits, reverts, the length of discussions, the burstiness of edits and reverts deviate in such pages from those following the general workflow, and argue that earlier work has significantly over-estimated the contentiousness of the Wikipedia editing process.

description: We show how one can trace in a systematic way the coarse-grained solutions of individual-based stochastic epidemic models evolving on heterogeneous complex networks with respect to their topological characteristics. In particular, we have developed algorithms that allow the tuning of the transitivity (clustering coefficient) and the average mean-path length allowing the investigation of the "pure" impacts of the two characteristics on the emergent behavior of detailed epidemic models. The framework could be used to shed more light into the influence of weak and strong social ties on epidemic spread within small-world network structures, and ultimately to provide novel systematic computational modeling and exploration of better contagion control strategies.
Strong Lensing Analysis of the Galaxy Cluster MACS J1319.9+7003 and the Discovery of a Shell Galaxy

description: We present a strong-lensing (SL) analysis of the galaxy cluster MACS J1319.9+7003 ($z=0.33$, also known as Abell 1722), as part of our ongoing effort to analyze massive clusters with archival {\it HST} imaging. We spectroscopically measured with Keck/MOSFIRE two galaxies multiply-imaged by the cluster. Our analysis reveals a modest lens, with an effective Einstein radius of $θ_{e}(z=2)=12\pm1$", enclosing $2.1\pm0.3\times10^{13}$ $M_{\odot}$. We briefly discuss the SL properties of the cluster, using two different modeling techniques, and make the mass models publicly-available\footnote{ftp://wise-ftp.tau.ac.il/pub/adiz/MACS1319/}. Independently, we identified a noteworthy, young Shell Galaxy (SG) system forming around two likely interacting cluster members, 20" north of the BCG. SGs are rare in galaxy clusters, and indeed, a simple estimate yields that they are only expected in roughly one in several dozen, to several hundred, massive galaxy clusters (the estimate can easily change by an order-of-magnitude within a reasonable range of characteristic values relevant for the calculation). Taking advantage of our lens model best-fit, mass-to-light scaling relation for cluster members, we infer that the total mass of the SG system is $\sim1.3\times10^{11}$ M$_{\odot}$, with a host-to-companion mass ratio of about 10:1. Despite being rare in high density environments, the SG constitutes an example to how stars of cluster galaxies are being efficiently redistributed to the Intra Cluster Medium. Dedicated numerical simulations for the observed shell configuration, perhaps aided by the mass model, might cast interesting insight on the interaction history and properties of the two galaxies. An archival HST search in galaxy cluster images can reveal more such systems.

description: La presente investigación tiene como objetivo evidenciar, las representaciones sociales sobre la mujer en un corpus de canciones de música salsa durante el periodo E 1985 A 1990. Las temáticas predominantes en dichos discursos remiten a las relaciones sentimentales, a los encuentros sexuales y la mujer como centro y tema principal de las canciones. Para ello, se fundamenta en una perspectiva del análisis crítico del discurso, específicamente en el enfoque cognitivo Van Dijk (2008) en la teoría de la representación de Hall (1997), los preceptos de Genero y poder planteados por Michel Foucault (1992) y en la teoría de Lakoff Y Johnson (1995), sobre la metáfora como estrategia ideológica. A partir de la identificación de metáforas se logro elucidar la forma o formas de representación de la mujer en la salsa durante el tiempo señalado. Finalmente, el análisis permite poner en escena diferentes representaciones de la mujer, las cuales se basan en su confinamiento a los espacios privados (el cuarto, la alcoba, la casa), en la dicotomía mujer frágil/mujer mala, y en la cosificación, es decir la reproducción de su esencia como sujeto se resume a los placeres o encantos que brinda su cuerpo.
