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

description: This research paper makes a descriptive study on the conflict resolution related activities reflected at BoA four IT based projects. Primarily, the study try to address what type and source of conflict is mostly considered to be agreed to exist in due course of projects life time. Further, it studied the most perceived conflict resolution method adopted at the project management environment giving further study on the identified problems during the process of conflict resolution. In addition, the paper aims to describe existence of organizational consideration of conflict resolution in the IT projects as integral part of the management activity. The study is motivated to get realistic description as to how conflict resolution is exercised at BoA It projects to enhance awareness of better well skilled and knowledge based resolution will be beneficial to the overall implementation of projects. A fact gathering descriptive type research design was employed with a sample of 51 employees through stratified sampling. A questionnaire was used as a research tool for collecting data. Baseline data were captured from key informant, secondary data and from own observation. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics mean and standard deviation. Main findings of the study depicts that, different perception of the project was found to be the main source of conflict where us avoidance/withdrawal type of conflict resolution dominate the show. The fact that outcome of conflict resolution being not assessed for any of the projects turned out to be the main problem identified in the conflict resolution process while finally a fact that BoA never consider conflict resolution as integral part of its management activity was revealed. Unfortunately as the study is descriptive type, no empherical based findings was proven rather the fact was revealed as it is. Finally, the results on the conclusion entails us that the four research questions developed in this study have shown that there is a gap in understanding the best conflict resolution methods which will assist the project to be managed in a constructive way and able to use the process for positive results and integration. And also, the study recommends the bank to look after ways of increasing its resources and project managers' knowledge base towards the best conflict resolution skills and establish a system to assess the effect of conflict resolution towards a good management core activity.

description: The study of galaxy protoclusters is beginning to fill in unknown details of the important phase of the assembly of clusters and cluster galaxies. This review describes the current status of this field and highlights promising recent findings related to galaxy formation in the densest regions of the early universe. We discuss the main search techniques and the characteristic properties of protoclusters in observations and simulations, and show that protoclusters will have present-day masses similar to galaxy clusters when fully collapsed. We discuss the physical properties of galaxies in protoclusters, including (proto-)brightest cluster galaxies, and the forming red sequence. We highlight the fact that the most massive halos at high redshift are found in protoclusters, making these objects uniquely suited for testing important recent models of galaxy formation. We show that galaxies in protoclusters should be among the first galaxies at high redshift making the transition from a gas cooling regime dominated by cold streams to a regime dominated by hot intracluster gas, which could be tested observationally. We also discuss the possible connections between protoclusters and radio galaxies, quasars, and Ly-alpha blobs. Because of their early formation, large spatial sizes and high total star formation rates, protoclusters have also likely played a crucial role during the epoch of reionization, which can be tested with future experiments that will map the neutral and ionized cosmic web. Last, we review a number of promising observational projects that are expected to make significant impact in this growing, exciting field.

description: Homogeneous mixed-norm Triebel--Lizorkin spaces are introduced and studied with the use of a discrete wavelet transformation, the so-called $φ$-transform. This extends the classical $φ$-transform approach introduced by Frazier and Jawerth to the setting of mixed-norm spaces. Moreover, the theory of the $φ$-transform is enhanced through a precise definition of the synthesis operator, in terms of a Pettis integral, and a number of rigorous results for this operator. Especially its terms can always be summed in any order, without changing the resulting distribution.

Das vorliegende Papier beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie eine datenschutzgerechte Deanonymisierung in solchen konkreten Einzelfällen durchgeführt werden kann, ohne die Anonymität der anderen Teilnehmer zu gefährden oder eine „Massenüberwachung auf Knopfdruck“ zu ermöglichen. Ausgehend von den bestehenden Gesetzen werden die Rechte und Pflichten des Anonymisierungsdienstes dargestellt. Es werden konkrete Vorschläge für eine „Strafverfolgungsfunktion“ erläutert, wobei ein Lösungsvorschlag detailliert beschrieben wird. Neben den rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen ist dabei insbesondere das dem Anonymisierungsdienst zugrunde liegende technische Verfahren und das damit verbundene Vertrauensmodell zu berücksichtigen. Es handelt sich um ein verteiltes System, bei dem es keine zentrale Instanz gibt, die eine Deanonymisierung einzelner Kommunikationsverbindungen vornehmen könnte. Vielmehr ist dafür die Mitarbeit aller Server des Anonymisierungsdienstes notwendig. Es wird beschrieben, wie sich diese überzeugen können, daß eine Deanonymisierung auch tatsächlich im Zusammenhang mit dem Verdacht auf eine Straftat steht.

description: Attraverso un breve itinerario letterario e filosofico, questo saggio intende offrire uno scorcio sull’universo antico della paura per mostrare alcuni dei modelli omerici che hanno inciso su quel sistema tradizionale di credenze che Platone ridiscute criticamente. Omero descrive la paura nel contesto della guerra di Troia e ne analizza la fenomenologia fissando nell’immaginario l’idea che la fuga sia sinonimo di paura. Platone rilegge filosoficamente alcuni episodi letterari, mitici e storici per offrire una nuova prospettiva da cui guardare alla fuga ed educare alla paura.

Through a brief literary and philosophical itinerary, this essay aims to sketch the ancient universe of fear in order to show some of the Homeric models that affected the traditional belief system that Plato critically re-examines. Homer describes fear in the context of the Trojan War and analyses its phenomenology by fixing in the imagination the idea that escaping is synonymous with fear. Plato philosophically reinterprets some literary, mythical and historical episodes in order to offer a new perspective on escaping and to educate against fear.

description: The purpose of this study is to assess the project procurement practices in case of Ethiopian Airlines with alignment of project procurement management knowledge area. To address this objective descriptive research design was employed to analyze the data from structured questionnaire and interview. A Non-probability, judgment/purposive sampling, was employed to select 30 respondents of the questionnaires. And interview was also conducted with the procurement office manager and project manager. The result of the study evident that, Risk Involved with procurement, Cost Estimation, considering Expert Judgment while planning, and Market research and development has been found as a major gap of procurement practices. On the other hand, the loop with regard to procurement conducting is depicted from the respondents that it is merely practiced to select sellers based on their past experience and no consistent pre-meeting with suppliers. Lastly on monitoring phase,few attentions are given to monitor and control whether procured goods and services are delivered in time in regular pattern, the risks faced while procuring rarely taken in to consideration while monitoring and controlling. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended that intensive regular training on the principles of project management,give due attention on expert judgment, cost estimation, market research & development as well as considering past experience of sellers.Monitoring and controlling should be made for procured goods, to ensure that they are delivered or executed as planned.

description: The subject of this paper is strongly homotopy (SH) Lie algebras, also known as $L_\infty$-algebras. We extract an intrinsic character, the Atiyah class, which measures the nontriviality of an (SH) Lie algebra $A$ when it is extended to $L$. In fact, given such an SH Lie pair $(L, A)$, and any $A$-module $E$, there associates a canonical cohomology class, the Atiyah class $[α^E]$, which generalizes earlier known Atiyah classes out of Lie algebra pairs. We show that the Atiyah class $[α^{L/A}]$ induces a graded Lie algebra structure on $\operatorname{H}^\bullet_{\mathrm{CE}}(A,L/A[-2])$, and the Atiyah class $[α^E]$ of any $A$-module $E$ induces a Lie algebra module structure on $\operatorname{H}^\bullet_{\mathrm{CE}}(A,E)$. Moreover, Atiyah classes are invariant under gauge equivalent $A$-compatible infinitesimal deformations of $L$.

description: Im Bereich der Optimierung gewinnt die Betrachtung dynamischer Szenarien eine zunehmendere Bedeutung. Folgerichtig existiert eine Vielzahl hoch spezialisierter Verfahren für dezidierte Problemstellungen. Oftmals haben diese Verfahren aber den Nachteil, schon bei kleinen Abweichungen von den Voraussetzungen schlechte Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Darüber hinaus möchte ein Anwender einen Algorithmus möglichst ohne große Anpassungserfordernisse verwenden. Evolutionsstrategien stellen ein in vielen Anwendungen bewährtes Standardverfahren dar. Die vorliegende Arbeit überprüft die Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Parametrisierungen bei der Anwendung auf dynamische Problemstellungen. Aus den Untersuchungen ergibt sich einerseits ein vertieftes Verständnis der Funktionsweise von Evolutionsstrategien. Andererseits werden Empfehlungen zur Einstellung der entsprechenden Parameter für unterschiedliche Szenarien gegeben. Darüber hinaus wird aufgrund der Ergebnisse ein neuartiger paralleler evolutionärer Algorithmus für dynamische Umgebungen entwickelt. Dieser wird ausführlich betrachtet und bewertet.

description: We study scenarios where there exists an exotic massive particle charged under QCD in the early Universe. We calculate the formation and dissociation rates of bound states formed by pairs of these particles, and apply the results in dark matter (DM) coannihilation scenarios, including also the Sommerfeld effect. We find that on top of the Sommerfeld enhancement, bound-state effects can further significantly increase the largest possible DM masses which can give the observed DM relic abundance, by $\sim 30 - 100\%$ with respect to values obtained by considering the Sommerfeld effect only, for the color triplet or octet exotic particles we consider. In particular, it indicates that the Bino DM mass in the right-handed stop-Bino coannihilation scenario in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) can reach $\sim 2.5$ TeV, even though the potential between the stop and antistop prior to forming a bound state is repulsive. We also apply the bound-state effects in the calculations of relic abundance of long-lived or metastable massive colored particles, and discuss the implications on the BBN constraints and the abundance of a super-weakly interacting DM. The corrections for the bound-state effect when the exotic massive colored particles also carry electric charges, and the collider bounds are also discussed.

description: In this work we studied processing of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) surfaces using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma in two different assemblies, one using the primary plasma jet obtained from a conventional DBD and the other using a DBD plasma jet transfer. The evolution of water contact angle (WCA) in function of plasma processing time and in function of aging time as well as the changes in the surface roughness of PDMS samples for both plasma treatments have been studied. We also compared vibrational and rotational temperatures for both plasmas and for the first time the vibrational temperature (T_vib) for the transferred plasma jet has been shown to be higher as compared with the primary jet. The increment in the T_vib value seems to be the main reason for the improvements in adhesion properties and surface wettability for the transferred plasma jet. Possible explanations for the increase in the vibrational temperature are presented.

description: Background: Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is an emerging biomarker of inflammation and kidney disease. Recent studies with small sample sizes have found elevated suPAR in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), an autoimmune disease featuring both inflammation and kidney disease. suPAR has been shown to correlate with biomarkers of inflammation and renal function in these studies and has been associated with AAV disease activity. However, no study has associated suPAR with the presence and severity of kidney disease in AAV. Methods: In our study, we enrolled active ANCA-positive patients at diagnosis (n = 229), healthy controls (n = 36) and other kidney disease controls (n = 26). We measured plasma/serum suPAR concentration and assessed whether the level was different in those with AAV with glomerulonephritis (GN) compared to those with only extra-renal vasculitis. We distinguished “minimal” kidney disease (n = 71), with no evidence of GN, from “moderate” (n = 41), with evidence of GN but normal excretory kidney function and “severe” kidney disease (n = 116), which was associated with impaired kidney function. Results: Median serum creatinine 89 μmol/L, 209 μmol/L and 374 μmol/L in minimal, moderate, and severe kidney disease cohorts. Median BVAS was 16, 15 and 16 and median CRP was 32.5 mg/dL, 23 mg/dL and 38.5 mg/dL, respectively. A plasma/serum suPAR level of 4 ng/mL reflected the 90th centile of healthy control values; 38% of patients with minimal kidney disease had a level higher than this, compared to 62% and 92% of those with moderate and severe kidney disease respectively (Figure 1A). suPAR concentration was positively associated with BVAS, CRP and serum creatinine level. Urine soluble CD163 was moderately correlated with plasma suPAR level (Figure 1B). Moreover, plasma suPAR concentrations were reduced in patients in clinical remission. Conclusions: Approximately ⅓ of patients with AAV without GN had elevated suPAR concentrations, reflecting the systemic inflammatory state. In those with GN but normal kidney function, approximately ⅔ had an elevated concentration, potentially indicating an association between suPAR release and the pathological development of GN. Most patients with severe kidney disease had an elevated suPAR level, likely reflecting the known accumulation of this molecule with reduced glomerular filtration rate. Disclosures: None

description: This presentation aims at introducing the Kimbu (Bantu, Niger-Congo) language spoken across central Tanzania by loosely-associated communities totaling no more than 62,000 (Muzale and Rugemalira 2008). The primary focus of this study is initial documentation of the Kimbu language with a special focus on its unique culture; nomadism. Although Kimbu community is described as semi-nomadic (Shorter, 1968) it is interesting that the today’s Kimbu speakers seem to have no idea of this life style of their own. The Kimbu speakers sub-classify their language into Kimbu-Lugogo spoken in Manyoni district (Singida), central Kimbu (they call it ‘not pure) spoken in Sikonge, Tabora and the so called ‘pure Kimbu’ spoken in Chunya district, Mbeya. The Kimbu language spoken in Sikonge is closely related to Nyamwezi.

description: Shell models of turbulence have a finite-time blowup in the inviscid limit, i.e., the enstrophy diverges while the single-shell velocities stay finite. The signature of this blowup is represented by self-similar instantonic structures traveling coherently through the inertial range. These solutions might influence the energy transfer and the anomalous scaling properties empirically observed for the forced and viscous models. In this paper we present a study of the instantonic solutions for a set of four shell models of turbulence based on the exact decomposition of the Navier-Stokes equations in helical eigenstates. We find that depending on the helical structure of each model, instantons are chaotic or regular. Some instantonic solutions tend to recover mirror symmetry for scales small enough. Models that have anomalous scaling develop regular non chaotic instantons. Conversely, models that have non anomalous scaling in the stationary regime are those that have chaotic instantons. The direction of the energy carried by each single instanton tends to coincide with the direction of the energy cascade in the stationary regime. Finally, we find that whenever the small-scale stationary statistics is intermittent, the instanton is less steep than the dimensional Kolmogorov scaling, independently of whether or not it is chaotic. Our findings further support the idea that instantons might be crucial to describe some aspects of the multi-scale anomalous statistics of shell models.

description: When performing regression on a dataset with $p$ variables, it is often of interest to go beyond using main linear effects and include interactions as products between individual variables. For small-scale problems, these interactions can be computed explicitly but this leads to a computational complexity of at least $\mathcal{O}(p^2)$ if done naively. This cost can be prohibitive if $p$ is very large. We introduce a new randomised algorithm that is able to discover interactions with high probability and under mild conditions has a runtime that is subquadratic in $p$. We show that strong interactions can be discovered in almost linear time, whilst finding weaker interactions requires $\mathcal{O}(p^α)$ operations for $1 < α< 2$ depending on their strength. The underlying idea is to transform interaction search into a closestpair problem which can be solved efficiently in subquadratic time. The algorithm is called $\mathit{xyz}$ and is implemented in the language R. We demonstrate its efficiency for application to genome-wide association studies, where more than $10^{11}$ interactions can be screened in under $280$ seconds with a single-core $1.2$ GHz CPU.

description: El juicio se entiende como el sistema mediante el cual se evalúa la conducta de las personas como moral o inmoral, legal o ilegal, socialmente aceptable o inaceptable, encomiable o criticable, normal o anormal, entre otras, incluyendo, por tanto, una calificación de la misma respecto a las normas que se ponen en juego y que adoptan la forma ya sea de expectativas sociales o de regulaciones (Kaplan, 2007). Este trabajo describe las opciones semánticas de juicios referidos a la mujer, empleadas en letras de canciones de champeta, a partir de un análisis crítico del discurso (ACD), para dar a conocer los contenidos ideológicos subyacentes en dichas opciones, y, así, contribuir a la comprensión del fenómeno en Cartagena. Los ejes conceptuales que orientan este estudio incluyen, entre otros, la Teoría de la Valoración –Appraisal– (Martin y Rose 2003, Martin 2005, Martin y White 2005), la concepción de roles de género (Bourdieu, 1998 y Rosero, 2003), las nociones de lenguaje e ideología de Teun van Dijk (2008), formación de estereotipos (Hall, 1997) y la reflexión respecto a la violencia contra la mujer (Corsi, 1994). La muestra está constituida por veinte canciones de champeta, las cuales se analizan de acuerdo con las técnicas de análisis discursivo-textual y de valoración semántica. Los resultados advierten una tendencia a la asignación de juicios de sanción social negativos que representan a la mujer como un ser esencialmente malévolo, lujurioso y carente de valores, y la asignación de juicios de estima social positivos que la representan como madre y esposa abnegada, cariñosa, dependiente, sumisa. Dichos juicios (de estima y sanción) que le son atribuidos a la mujer en las canciones de este ritmo y la forma como esos significados construyen una representación de lo femenino, compartida en los escenarios de la cultura identitaria de los barrios de clase baja y media de la ciudad de Cartagena de Indias (Colombia), constituyen los principales aportes de este trabajo.

description: Ongoing concerns exist regarding the dangers inherent when handling cytotoxics, particularly drugs which are in parenteral formulations. On occasions, nurses and medical doctors have been preparing and administrating these drugs in the open spaces of wards in the absence of suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety cabinets. To explore further into the severity of occupational hazards, we conducted our research in order to evaluate the healthcare’s understanding of occupational exposure to cytotoxics and occurrence of any side effects. A cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire was distributed amongst oncology nurses in nine specialized cancer centers in Tehran. The questionnaire was based on most reputable international guidelines, aiming to evaluate the attitude, knowledge and safe practices of nurses' handling cytotoxic drugs. The gathered data and reported side effects were compared between “oncology/hematology” and “non-oncology” participants. The majority of nurses from oncology wards were aware of the potential hazards associated with handling of chemotherapy and reported high levels of compliance with the use of PPE during reconstitution of antineoplastic agents. Almost all nurses reported the use of a safety cabinet during preparation, however only 55 % reported that they have annual medical check-ups and 45 % reported having received specialized training. This work was also to evaluate the experimental procedures as well as cleaning solutions used to reduce the level exposure. While the level of knowledge about antineoplastic agents is high among nurses, along with the level of PPE use, medical surveillance and employee training seems to be lagging behind.

description: Millions of high school students who take an Advanced Placement (AP) course in one of over 30 subjects can earn college credit by performing well on the corresponding AP exam. Using data from four metro-Atlanta public school districts, we find that 15 percent of students’ AP courses do not result in an AP exam. We estimate that up to 32 percent of the AP courses that do not result in an AP exam would result in a score of 3 or higher, which generally commands college credit at colleges and universities across the United States. We then examine disparities in AP exam-taking rates and have three main takeaways. First, we find evidence consistent with the positive impact of school district exam subsidies on AP exam-taking rates. In fact, students on free and reduced-price lunch (FRL) in the districts that provide a higher subsidy to FRL students than non-FRL students are more likely to take an AP exam than their non-FRL counterparts, after controlling for demographic and academic covariates. Second, Black students are 4 percentage points less likely to take an AP exam than their White peers, even among those with the same academic credentials and from the same high school. Third, we find no evidence that a female student paired with a female AP course teacher takes the AP exam at a higher rate as compared to being paired with a male teacher, even in courses that are underrepresented by females.

description: Gender agreement between determiners and nouns, and gender agreement between third-person clitics and their referents, are notoriously difficult to acquire by bilingual speakers who lack them in their first language, or in one of their first languages. We present a study that explores the differences between gender agreement between a determiner and a noun and gender agreement between clitics and antecedents or doubled DPs among Shipibo-Spanish speakers. The oral production data that were elicited from 17 adult Shipibo-Spanish bilinguals by using a picture-based narration task show a notable difference in the agreement patterns between nouns and determiners, and between clitics and their antecedents/doubled DPs. Similar patterns are found among five Spanish-Shipibo bilinguals who were living in the same contact situation. While the participants consistently marked strong gender agreement within the DPs, a lack of gender specification was found in the agreement between clitics and antecedents or doubled DPs in the clitic-doubling and dislocated structures. These results are not unexpected as they mirror the results from previous work, where the clitic gender does not systematically match the antecedent gender, especially with feminine antecedents or doubled DPs. Furthermore, this study confirms previous evidence that the gender-specific clitics, lo/la, have been replaced by the invariable clitic, le, in contexts where agreement with a doubled DP or an antecedent is expected. In contrast, there is evidence of agreement between determiners and nouns in this group of bilinguals. These facts allow us to conclude that, although gender is present in Shipibo-Spanish bilingual speakers’ grammar, it is largely absent and is not operative in Shipibo-Spanish speakers’ clitic agreement in oral production.
Open systems with error bounds: spin boson model with spectral density variations

description: In the study of open quantum systems, one of the most common ways to describe environmental effects on the reduced dynamics is through the spectral density. However, in many models this object cannot be computed from first principles and needs to be inferred on phenomenological grounds or fitted to experimental data. Consequently, some uncertainty regarding its form and parameters is unavoidable; this in turn calls into question the accuracy of any theoretical predictions based on a given spectral density. Here, we focus on the spin-boson model as a prototypical open quantum system, and find two error bounds on predicted expectation values in terms of the spectral density variation considered, and state a sufficient condition for the strongest one to apply. We further demonstrate an application of our result, by bounding the error brought about by the approximations involved in the Hierarchical Equations of Motion resolution method for spin-boson dynamics.

Assessment On The Level Of Political Risk In Foreign Direct Investment A Case Of Foreign Direct Investors Located In Addis Ababa And Surrounding Areas

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

description: The study was conducted to Assess the level of political risk in foreign direct investment with a case study on foreign direct investors located in Addis Ababa and its surrounding area .The study tried to level/rank the different political risk factors MNCs are facing, Mitigation tools used and Risk management capability of the firms with overview on current unrest challenges faced. Questioners and an interview were conducted to assess the level with structured purposive sampling .The key finding of the study is that firms on the study have underestimated the extent of damage that political risk can cause to their Investment as and have been affected by the recent unrest in the country and while majority of the investors have a risk management department dedicated for risk monitoring ;they were low in implementing of existing political risk mitigation and week in evaluating new political risk mitigation strategies and in assigning roles and responsibilities for political risk management .They worry that Civil disturbance ,Transfer and convertibility restriction and adverse regulatory change might affect their future investment . It is obvious that political risk need to be given a prior attention for firms investing with proper risk risk monitoring ,Since Foreign direct investment is subject to a far wider range of political Risks it Should be managed with proper risk management strategy and if not managed by different mitigation mechanism it could affect the entire investment as can be seen from the recent Political Crises that has affected various foreign Investors .Political Risk Mitigation tools that are available for the investors and those that the investors think are effective for their firm at times may be different and Political Risk is not just any business risk that would be left for the management of the investors only , but big support need to come from the host nation and Ethiopian Investment need to work greatly beyond what is written in the proclamation and post risk damage compensation .
