Year: 2018

description: The basic objective of the study was to assess and describe factors affecting food insecurity in the study area. To achieve the study objective, the study employed descriptive type of research design to show the opinion of the kebeles development agents and executives and household heads to identify the factors causing food insecurity in the study area. To accomplish this, the researcher used qualitative approaches with the light touch base on qualitative approach. The study used both primary and secondary source of information. Primary information was collected mainly from the selected 110 household heads through structured and semi-structured interviews. In addition to that, the researcher conducted focus group discussions with kebeles development agents and executives that consisted of 9 members. A total of 119 respondents and key informants were selected for both interview and focus group discussions by purposively sampling technique. The data collected from both interview and focus group were analyzed descriptively by using tables, figures, frequency and percentage of the responses to present different primary data in an organized way. In addition, the focus group discussion results were presented by summarizing the essence of the discussion and narrating the result in the text along with interview results. The study found that no education and/or lower level of education, limited income sources and uncontrolled population growth of the household heads are identified as some of the factors affecting food insecurity in the study area selected Kebeles.

description: Pemerintahan yang demokratis, berlandaskan pada prinsip-prinsip kebebasan, kesetaraan, dan keadilan, adalah salah satu bentuk pemerintahan yang paling dihormati di dunia. Dalam sistem demokrasi, konsep Trias Politica (pemisahan kekuasaan) adalah salah satu struktur utama yang dibuat untuk memastikan keseimbangan dan akuntabilitas dalam pemerintahan. Trias Politica membagi kekuasaan negara menjadi tiga cabang yang independen: eksekutif, legislatif, dan yudikatif. Pembagian ini bertujuan untuk mencegah penyalahgunaan kekuasaan dan memastikan bahwa setiap cabang pemerintahan dapat menjalankan fungsinya dengan efektif dan transparan.

description: We propose a novel particle physics model in which vector dark matter (VDM) and dark radiation (DR) originate from the same non-Abelian dark sector. We show an illustrating example where dark $SU(3)$ is spontaneously broken into $SU(2)$ subgroup by the nonzero vacuum expectation value of a complex scalar in fundamental representation of $SU(3)$. The massless gauge bosons associated with the residual unbroken $SU(2)$ constitute DR and help to relieve the tension in Hubble constant measurements between $\textit{Planck}$ and Hubble Space Telescope. In the meantime, massive dark gauge bosons associated with the broken generators are VDM candidates. Intrinsically, this non-Abelian VDM can interact with non-Abelian DR in the cosmic background, which results in a suppressed matter power spectrum and leads to a smaller $σ_8$ for structure formation.

Am Beispiel des neuen arbeitsmarktpolitischen Instruments Einstiegsqualifizierung (EQ) wird unter Bezug auf aktuelle empirische Forschungsergebnisse aufgezeigt, dass zentrale mit diesem Instrument anvisierte Ziele wie: Öffnung des Lernorts Betrieb für (sozial) benachteiligte Jugendliche, Verkürzung der Warteschleifen, eine einheitliche Gestaltung der Praktika durch Qualifizierungsbausteine und die anteilige Anrechnung des Praktikums auf eine anschließende Ausbildung, nicht erreicht werden. Stattdessen erfolgt durch die Arbeitsverwaltung wie auch durch die Praktikumsbetriebe eine Selektion auf einem mittleren Qualifikationsniveau ("Bestenauslese"), die die Chancen der eigentlichen Zielgruppe auf eine lernförderliche betriebliche Integration und den Zugang ur Berufsausbildung eher noch weiter verringert.

description: Heavy vector-like quarks coupled to a scalar $S$ will induce a coupling of this scalar to gluons and possibly (if electrically charged) photons. The decay of the heavy quark into $Sq$, with $q$ being a Standard Model quark, provides, if kinematically allowed, new channels for heavy quark searches. Inspired by naturalness considerations, we consider the case of a vector-like partner of the top quark. For illustration, we show that a singlet partner can be searched for at the 13$\,$TeV LHC through its decay into a scalar resonance in the $2γ+\ell + X$ final states, especially if the diphoton branching ratio of the scalar $S$ is further enhanced by the contribution of non coloured particles. We then show that conventional heavy quark searches are also sensitive to this new decay mode, when $S$ decays hadronically, by slightly tightening the current selection cuts. Finally, we comment about the possibility of disentangling, by scrutinising appropriate kinematic distributions, heavy quark decays to $St$ from other standard decay modes.

description: Motivated by the tensions in the Hubble constant $H_0$ and the structure growth $σ_8$ between $Planck$ results and other low redshift measurements, we discuss some cosmological effects of a dark sector model in which dark matter (DM) interacts with fermionic dark radiation (DR) through a light gauge boson (dark photon). Such kind of models are very generic in particle physics with a dark sector with dark gauge symmetries. The effective number of neutrinos is increased by $δN_{eff} \sim 0.5$ due to light dark photon and fermionic DR, thereby resolving the conflicts in $H_0$. The elastic scattering between DM and DR induces suppression for DM's density perturbation, but without acoustic oscillations. For weakly-interacting DM around $100$GeV, the new gauge coupling should be $\sim 10^{-4}$ to have sizable effect on matter power spectrum in order to relax the tension in $σ_8$.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted emerging adults’ lives in various aspects of

physical and mental health, in part, because of lack of physical activity and face-to-face

socialization paired with increased technology and social media time. Given that all of these

aspects may be linked to poorer mental health outcomes such as body dissatisfaction and

negative body image, it is imperative that we examine how these changes to daily life have

influenced individuals’ thinking about their bodies. Therefore, we asked 257 emerging adults

(Mage=21.9) what the greatest impact of the pandemic was in regard to their body image.

Results from an inductive analysis were divided amongst positive, negative, and neutral

experiences. Participants who commented on their positive experience mentioned more time

to make healthy meals and exercise, space to think and appreciate their health, and less social

comparison than in their pre-pandemic routines. Participants who spoke about their negative

experience mentioned constant exposure to mirrors and social media, body checking

behaviors, weight gain, and shut downs of supportive services such as gyms, sport, and

dermatology/aesthetic businesses. We will utilize these main themes to foster discussion

around the importance of bolstering body appreciation and encouraging positive health

behaviors in self-care practices.

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We holographically study supersymmetric deformations of $N=3$ and $N=1$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in three dimensions using four-dimensional $N=4$ gauged supergravity coupled to three-vector multiplets with non-semisimple $SO(3)\ltimes (\mathbf{T}^3,\hat{\mathbf{T}}^3)$ gauge group. This gauged supergravity can be obtained from a truncation of eleven-dimensional supergravity on a tri-sasakian manifold and admits both $N=1,3$ supersymmetric and stable non-supersymmetric $AdS_4$ critical points. We analyze the BPS equations for $SO(3)$ singlet scalars in details and study possible supersymmetric solutions. A number of RG flows to non-conformal field theories and half-supersymmetric domain walls are found, and many of them can be given analytically. Apart from these "flat" domain walls, we also consider $AdS_3$-sliced domain wall solutions describing two-dimensional conformal defects with $N=(1,0)$ supersymmetry within the dual $N=1$ field theory while this type of solutions does not exist in the $N=3$ case.

An Assessment of the Role of Micro Finance Institution In Urban Poverty Alleviation: (The Case of Addis Credit and Saving Institution in Kirkos Sub City)
Creators: name: Eshete, Ayelech
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: Poverty is a critical problem of all countries in the world regardless of their level of development. The whole purpose of development and Development Studies is to fight against poverty and reducing both urban and rural poverty in the world to the possible minimum level through different interventions. Microfinance is considered as one of the major interventions in poverty alleviation all over the world. Therefore, it is vital to evaluate the role microfinance programs play in urban poverty alleviation. The prevailing operation of the conventional financial institutions in Ethiopia is inefficient in providing financial services to the poor. The challenge that is facing today is to reduce poverty. Microfinance is being practiced in the country as a tool to deliver financial services for reducing poverty. In order to investigate the fundamental premise, this study examined empirical evidence in Addis credit and saving institution to know its contribution to poverty reduction. Therefore, the objective of this study is to find out whether delivery of financial services of the MFI to urban poor in the contribution of towards poverty alleviation. Primary data were collected through questionnaire administered to clients of AdCSI using systematic random sampling technique. Secondary data were gathered from different literatures and MFIs' reports. The research is both quantitative and qualitative in nature. Descriptive analysis was applied in the study. The contribution of microfinance is analyzed based mainly on income which in turn has effects on nutritional status, education fee, medical facilities, employment generation, and empowerment among others. The finding indicates that AdCSI scheme has made positive contribution to the clients in relation with observed variables. Though the result also implies that AdCSI gives priority to women clients on the provision of financial services; loan disbursement of men is higher than loan disbursement of women. Besides, significant number of borrowers can not afford expenses on education, clothing they have no income generating mechanism before joining in the institution among others. Therefore, strengthening the existing operation with other support means of income generating mechanism would be appropriate to address the problem of urban poor

description: Fehlentwicklungen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt zu analysieren und Konzepte zu erarbeiten um Gegensteuern zu können, gehört zu den Basiszielen der Deutschen Vereinigung für Sozialwissenschaftliche Arbeitsmarktforschung (SAMF) e.V. seit ihrer Gründung 1977. Vor dem Hintergrund der jüngsten Wirtschaftskrise wurde diese Aufgabe bei der Jahrestagung 2009 erneut ins Zentrum gerückt. Aufbauend auf den Debatten während der Tagung und beim abschließenden Podium wird gefragt, weshalb die Arbeitsmarktforschung von der Krise weitgehend überrascht wurde. Es geht um Erklärungen dafür, dass sich der scharfe Einbruch nur sehr moderat auf die Arbeitslosigkeit ausgewirkt hat ("deutsches Beschäftigungswunder"). Wie ist dabei die Rolle der Arbeitsmarktreformen zu beurteilen, was hat die verstärkte Nutzung innerbetrieblicher Flexibilität dazu beigetragen, wo liegen die Grenzen dieser Instrumente? Das für und wider eines Einstiegs in eine neue Arbeitszeitpolitik kommen zur Sprache und schließlich wird diskutiert, wie sich der drohenden verschärften Segmentierung in Stamm- und Randbelegschaften gegensteuern lässt.

Approximate Negative-Binomial Confidence Intervals: Asbestos Fiber Counts

description: The negative-binomial distribution is adopted for analyzing asbestos-fiber counts so as to account for both the sampling errors in capturing only a finite number of fibers as well as the inevitable human variation in identifying and counting sampled fibers. A simple approximation to this distribution is developed for the derivation of quantiles and approximate confidence limits. The success of the approximation depends critically on the use of the Stirling expansion to sufficient order, on exact normalization of the approximating distribution, on reasonable perturbation of quantities from the normal distribution, and on accurately approximating sums by inverse-trapezoidal integration. Accuracy of the approximation developed is checked through simulation and also by comparison to traditional approximate confidence intervals in the specific case that the negative-binomial distribution approaches the Poisson distribution. The resulting statistics are shown to relate directly to early research into the accuracy of asbestos sampling and analysis. Uncertainty in estimating mean asbestos-fiber concentrations given only a single count is derived. Decision limits (limits of detection (LOD)) and detection limits are considered for controlling false positive and negative detection assertions and are compared to traditional limits computed assuming normal distributions.

Professional quality of life and wellbeing with mental health professionals
Creators: name: Wright, Becky
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2022

description: Professional quality of life (PQoL) examines the positive and negative emotions experienced in professionally helping roles, measured as compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF). Chapter One describes a systematic literature review examining factors associated with CS in mental health professionals (MHPs). Six databases were searched (AMED, Academic Search Ultimate, CINAHL, MEDLINE Complete, PsycArticles and PsycINFO) and 28 studies in 29 papers met inclusion criteria. CS was associated with: psychological characteristics, wellbeing, personal trauma, organizational commitment, workload, team-working, supervision, and social support. Services should target variables that can be limited (e.g. workload) or increased (e.g. supervision) to promote CS. Chapter Two reports a research study investigating PQoL with Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) practitioners. Participants (N=169) completed an online survey containing validated self-report measures of PQoL, general wellbeing, team psychological safety and quantitative workload. Participants reported average CS and average-high CF. In regression modelling, CF, wellbeing and psychological safety significantly accounted for 41% of the variance in CS. Higher wellbeing was significantly associated with higher CS. A second regression model demonstrated that CS, wellbeing, psychological safety and workload significantly accounted for 30% of the variance in CF. Higher perceived workload and lower wellbeing were significantly associated with higher CF. IAPT services are under constant pressure to meet national targets and growing access rates. Services should prioritise manageable workloads, a focus on wellbeing and psychologically safe environments to support practitioners PQoL. Chapter three critically appraises the research processes, expanding on the limitations, implications and future research discussed in Chapters One and Two. Further, a post-hoc mediation analysis of the empirical research data demonstrated that psychological safety indirectly effected CS through general wellbeing, which warrants further exploration. A more robust analysis of factors relating to PQoL, adopting longitudinal methodologies, is required to implement and evaluate strategies to enhance PQoL.

description: This paper discusses the problem of determining optimal designs for regression models, when the observations are dependent and taken on an interval. A complete solution of this challenging optimal design problem is given for a broad class of regression models and covariance kernels. We propose a class of estimators which are only slightly more complicated than the ordinary least-squares estimators. We then demonstrate that we can design the experiments, such that asymptotically the new estimators achieve the same precision as the best linear unbiased estimator computed for the whole trajectory of the process. As a by-product we derive explicit expressions for the BLUE in the continuous time model and analytic expressions for the optimal designs in a wide class of regression models. We also demonstrate that for a finite number of observations the precision of the proposed procedure, which includes the estimator and design, is very close to the best achievable. The results are illustrated on a few numerical examples.

Exact methods for nonlinear combinatorial optimization

description: We consider combinatorial optimization problems with nonlinear objective functions. Solution approaches for this class of problems proposed so far are either highly problem-specific or they apply generic algorithms for constrained nonlinear optimization, which often does not yield satisfactory results in practice. Our aim is to develop, implement and experimentally evaluate exact algorithms that address the nonlinearity of the objective function and at the same time exploit the underlying combinatorial structure of the problem. To this end we follow two approaches. The first combines good polyhedral descriptions of the objective function and the feasible set in a branch and cut-algorithm. The second approach is based on Lagrangean decomposition. By decomposing the original problem into an unconstrained nonlinear problem and a linear combinatorial problem, we are able to compute strong dual bounds for the optimal value. The computation of lower bounds is then embedded into a branch and bound-algorithm. For many applications there already exist efficient algorithms for the combinatorial subproblem, thus an important aspect of this thesis is the study of the corresponding unconstrained nonlinear subproblems. Both approaches have the advantage that they can easily be adapted to a wide range of nonlinear combinatorial problems.We devise both polyhedral and decomposition- based algorithms for submodular applications from wireless network design and portfolio optimization and evaluate their performance experimentally. Exploiting the equivalence between unconstrained binary quadratic optimization and the maximum cut problem gives rise to a branch and cut-algorithm for quadratic combinatorial problems which we use to compute optimal layouts of tanglegrams, an application from computational biology. Additionally we study the effect of quadratic reformulation of linear constraints, both theoretically and experimentally. The last class of nonlinear combinatorial problems we consider are two-scenario problems. Here we propose a new technique to compute lower bounds in the unconstrained subproblem of the decomposition. Our computational study of the two-scenario minimum spanning tree problem shows that the new Lagrangean decomposition-based algorithm is able to solve significantly larger instances than the standard linearization approach.

description: The use of sentinel (expatriate) plants, is an initiative for plant biosecurity risk assessment and surveillance, that is being adopted internationally. The concept is based on the presence of plant species in foreign locations (e.g. botanic gardens, arboreta) where they may be exposed to insect pests and pathogens they have not as yet encountered, and act as an early warning system for their native range. The Christchurch Botanic Gardens has been a participant in a three year pilot study to test the suitability of the sentinel plants concept to detect new host-plant associations on selected plant species considered important to the UK. This involves the International Plant Sentinel Network (IPSN), Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) and Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA, UK), with remote diagnostics provided by FERA Science Ltd. The surveys at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens was supported by Better Border Biosecurity (B3) parties with appropriate links to New Zealand’s National Plant Protection Organisation (NPPO), the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), to ensure that legal responsibilities concerning new organisms were followed. The plants selected for surveillance were Rosa spp. (rose), Fagus sylvatica (European beech), Quercus robur (English oak) and Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine). In early (December) and late (January) summer, 2-3 plants of each taxa were inspected and assessed for insect presence, damage and plant pathogens, using protocols developed by IPSN. The survey evaluated the plants health from observations of the leaves, buds/cones and stem/trunk, along with the general environment the plants were growing in. Results were recorded either on a paper or electronic plant health checker (PHC) form, and images taken of the plant and any pests or diseases. The reports and images were then scanned and sent electronically to the UK for remote diagnostics. This presentation will discuss the outcomes of the pilot study in Christchurch, the benefits and challenges of undertaking remote surveys involving staff from Botanic Gardens and Arboreta, and the contribution of using sentinel plants to improving biosecurity outcomes.

description: We discuss several examples of generating apparent singular points as a result of differentiating particular homogeneous linear ordinary differential equations with polynomial coefficients and formulate two general conjectures on the generation and removal of apparent singularities in arbitrary Fuchsian differential equations with polynomial coefficients. We consider a model problem in polymer physics.
Synthese und Anwendung neuer, Cyclophan-basierter N-heterocyclischer Carbene sowie Studien zur Darstellung cyclischer bismetallischer Amonoylid-Carbenkomplexe

description: A new synthetic route to N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with cyclophanic architecture is described. Using this approach, the electronic and structural parameters of an imidazopyridine-based carbene could be uncoupled. The electronic cross-talk between the cyclophane-layers made it possible to change the electronic properties without any constitutional redesign. Although the s-donorproperties of the cyclophane-based carbene is comparable to its planar cousin, the results of theoretical (DFT-calculations) as well as experimental (IR, CV, X-ray) studies suggested that it is much easier to tune its p-acceptor-properties. Furthermore, reactivity data demonstrated that the outcome of three mechanistically distinct gold-catalyzed reactions was determined by changing the p-acceptor-properties of the particular NHC that is used. The second part of this dissertation deals with the synthesis and characterization of phosphorusbased aminoylid carbenes (AYCs) and with the synthesis of homo- as well as heteronuclear bimetallic AYCs. Theoretical (DFT), experimental (CV, IR) as well as reactivity data gave some insights into the ambivalent electronic properties of AYCs. On the one hand IR-data indicated that this type of carbene is one of the strongest s-donors known nowadays. On the other hand reactivity data, e. g. of a gold (I) catalyzed enallene cycloaddition, also gave evidence for their distinctive p-acceptorproperties. Using a silver-carbene approach several different mono- and heteronuclear bimetallic AYCs could be synthesized.
Assessment of the Effectiveness of Government Intervention in the Market the Case of 'ALLE' Bejimla whole sale Enterprise in Ethiopia

description: The main purpose of this research is to examine the effectiveness of the Ethiopian government's direct intervention through ALLE Bejimla in the market as a supplier of consumable commodities so as to control price inflation through fostering competition. .Both descriptive and case study as well as quantitative and qualitative dimensions were applied as methodology of this research. The objective of establishing ALLE Bejimla by the government is mainly to facilitate modern trade, supply quality food and near food products at competitive prices to increase the affordability of goods to consumers. The findings of the research particularly in relation to the effectiveness of government intervention , the contribution and impacts of ALLE Bejimla on the reduction of inflation, the contribution of more frequent inspection and visit of retail stores for better retail price , challenges of working capital of the enterprise, the impact of proximity of ALLE stores to the retail agents on the retail prices, and finally the impact of lack of awareness about the product and services of the enterprise on the bargaining capability of consumer and transparency of retail price. Eventually the research recommended the need for establishing better tools of monitoring retail agents, the importance of awareness, how to undertake and suggest alternatives and additional means of distribution at reach, propose means of resolving challenges of working capital, and noted the requirement of periodically conducting impact assessment

Parent Responses to Children’s Expressions of Non-Binary and Nonconforming Gender Identity: A Study of Chicago’s Hyde Park Neighborhood
Creators: name: Hebert, Caroline L

description: With the recent emergence of children expressing non-binary and nonconforming gender identity, parents across the United States have responded with confusion and concerns for their children (Havrilesky 2019; Moyer 2022). In the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, the number of children expressing non-binary and nonconforming gender identity has increased in recent years. This study of four parents in Hyde Park investigates to what extent they accept their children’s statements of gender identity as authentic and true, how they support their children within and beyond the dynamic family, and what concerns they have for their children as they navigate the world with these expressed gender identities. While parents had unique approaches to supporting their children, they all honored their children’s requests to use different pronouns and, in some cases, names. Parents acknowledged the resources specific to Hyde Park, including school policies, support groups and clubs, access to other parents and children exploring gender identity, overnight camps, and religious institutions, which have fostered an accepting environment for their children to be comfortable expressing their gender identities. Parent concerns were primarily focused on aging and the physical changes that come along with it, which may cause mismatch with gender identity, moving out of Hyde Park into environments where they may be judged or teased based on gender identity, and laws being passed in certain states against the discussion of gender and sexuality in schools and medical intervention for gender identity.
title: Health workers in the Democratic Republic of Congo: an exploration of their motivation, incentives, and the effects of an intervention to improve their remuneration by government

description: Health worker motivation influences the performance of health services. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), not all health workers are remunerated by the government, negatively affecting their motivation. This leads workers to seek revenue from other sources, including user fees and private practice, but the extent to which different sources make up their total revenue has not been quantified. To improve motivation, donors have employed performance-based financing (PBF), which represents another, albeit unstable, source of income. The research for this thesis was set within a health systems strengthening programme called ASSP (access to primary health care) in the DRC, which phased out donor-financed PBF from a previous programme and implemented a complex intervention aiming to increase the prevalence of government payments to health workers. Using mixed methods, this study: describes the sources and amounts of income making up a health worker’s total remuneration; develops and validates a tool to measure health worker motivation; compares differences in motivation amongst workers who previously received PBF with workers who never received PBF; and, evaluates the complex intervention described above. Several income sources make up a health worker’s total remuneration. A valid tool measuring health worker motivation was developed and indicated workers who previously received PBF scored significantly lower on almost all motivation dimensions compared to those who never received PBF. With respect to the complex intervention, an adaptive approach to implementation and evaluation was needed given the dynamic nature of the health system. The findings have important policy implications. Better coordination amongst actors involved in health worker remuneration is needed, and incentive structures should be based on dimensions of motivation relevant to workers. For fragile states, the implications of transitioning away from donor payments and the importance of continuing work on civil service pay reform are identified.
