Seit Jahren nehmen psychische Belastungen in der Arbeit zu – nicht nur in der Pflege oder bei hochqualifizierter Wissensarbeit, sondern auch in der Produktion. Eine zunehmende Arbeitsverdichtung und Zeitdruck werden u.a. als zentrale Verursachungsfaktoren für steigende Fehlzeiten und Frühverrentungen gesehen. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass die zunehmende Digitalisierung und Globalisierung von Wertschöpfungsketten diese Entwicklungen weiter forcieren könnte, weswegen neue betriebliche Präventionskonzepte zur Förderung und Erhaltung der psychischen Gesundheit erforderlich sind.

Im Rahmen des BMBF-geförderten Vorhabens InGeMo* wurde im Bereich der Produktion und produktionsnaher Wissensarbeit untersucht, über welches arbeitswissenschaftliche Gestaltungswissen Führungskräfte, betriebliche Arbeitsschutzexperten und Mitarbeitende verfügen, um Stress in der Arbeit abzubauen.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Gestaltungswissen bei allen Akteursgruppen als ausbaufähig zu bewerten ist. Insbesondere Führungskräfte weisen tendenziell nur ein geringes Maß an Arbeitsgestaltungswissen auf. Jedoch zeigten die Analysen auch, dass Personen mit einem hoch ausgeprägten Gefahrenwissen schlechtere Gesundheitswerte aufweisen. Möglicherweise setzen sich Personen mit diagnostizierten stressassoziierten Erkrankungen eher mit den Ursachen und Folgen auseinander als gesunde Personen, und verfügen somit über ein besseres Gefahrenwissen.

description: In den Jahren 2006 und 2007 wurde das Macellum des Municipium Claudium Aguntum in Südwestnoricum freigelegt. Dabei fanden sich in spätantiken Nutzungsschichten des Gebäudes zwei Gefäße der Formgruppe Niederbieber 89/ Alzey 27. Das bislang singuläre Auftreten dieser Topfform südlich der Alpen lässt vermuten, dass es sich hierbei um persönliche Gegenstände von Einwanderern spätantiker Zeit handelt.
description: The macellum of the Municipium Claudium Aguntum in south-western Noricum was excavated in 2006 and 2007. In late Roman contexts of this building two pots belonging to the group Niederbieber 89/Alzey 27 were found. This is the first evidence for this kind of vessel south of the Alps and opens the possibility of these pots having been brought to Aguntum by immigrants from the North.

description: In this article, we have introduced a $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model which is given as $\hat{\mathcal{H}}=ω(\hat{b}^†\hat{b}+1/2)+ α(\hat{b}^{2}-(\hat{b}^†)^{2})$ where $ω$ and $α$ are real constants, $\hat{b}$ and $\hat{b^†}$ are first order differential operators. The Hermitian form of the Hamiltonian $\mathcal{\hat{H}}$ is obtained by suitable mappings and it is interrelated to the time independent one dimensional Dirac equation in the presence of position dependent mass. Then, Dirac equation is reduced to a Schrödinger-like equation and two new complex non-$\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric vector potentials are generated. We have obtained real spectrum for these new complex vector potentials using shape invariance method. We have searched the real energy values using numerical methods for the specific values of the parameters.

description: Digital images nowadays have various styles of appearance, in the aspects of color tones, contrast, vignetting, and etc. These 'picture styles' are directly related to the scene radiance, image pipeline of the camera, and post processing functions. Due to the complexity and nonlinearity of these causes, popular gradient-based image descriptors won't be invariant to different picture styles, which will decline the performance of object recognition. Given that images shared online or created by individual users are taken with a wide range of devices and may be processed by various post processing functions, to find a robust object recognition system is useful and challenging. In this paper, we present the first study on the influence of picture styles for object recognition, and propose an adaptive approach based on the kernel view of gradient descriptors and multiple kernel learning, without estimating or specifying the styles of images used in training and testing. We conduct experiments on Domain Adaptation data set and Oxford Flower data set. The experiments also include several variants of the flower data set by processing the images with popular photo effects. The results demonstrate that our proposed method improve from standard descriptors in all cases.

description: An interlayer phase coherence develops spontaneously in the bilayer quantum Hall system at the filling factor $ν=1$. On the other hand, the spin and pseudospin degrees of freedom are entangled coherently in the canted antiferromagnetic phase of the bilayer quantum Hall system at the filling factor $ν=2$. There emerges a complex Nambu-Goldstone mode with a linear dispersion in the zero tunneling-interaction limit for both cases. Then its phase field provokes a Josephson supercurrent in each layer, which is dissipationless as in a superconductor. We study what kind of phase coherence the Nambu-Goldstone mode develops in association with the Josephson supercurrent and its effect on the Hall resistance in the bilayer quantum Hall system at $ν=1,2$, by employing the Grassmannian formalism.

description: Recent policy in Ireland enhanced the position of school placement in Initial Teacher Education programmes. This paper considers how care ethics has a vital role in sustaining the goodwill of the coop-eration and guidance from professionals who mediate the school placement setting, noting values of reciprocal caring in placement mentor-mentee roles similar to studies from the international community. Using a qualitative approach, 38 Irish primary and post-primary cooperating teachers were interviewed during this cross-sectional study in order to ascertain insight into the lived experience of classroom teachers during school placement. Participants acknowledged the cooperating teacher role as professionally demanding, a rewarding experience, but also crucially linked to a duty and care premise. Participants show an emplacement of being within a moral dilemma symptomising a moral madness. Recommendations include enhanced collaborative policy development, an understanding of care in such policy, and a national approach to continuous professional development of cooperating teachers

description: The helioseismic observations of the internal rotation profile of the Sun raise questions about the two-dimensional (2D) nature of the transport of angular momentum in stars. Here we derive a convective prescription for axisymmetric (2D) stellar evolution models. We describe the small scale motions by a spectrum of unstable linear modes in a Boussinesq fluid. Our saturation prescription makes use of the angular dependence of the linear dispersion relation to estimate the anisotropy of convective velocities. We are then able to provide closed form expressions for the thermal and angular momentum fluxes with only one free parameter, the mixing length. We illustrate our prescription for slow rotation, to first order in the rotation rate. In this limit, the thermodynamical variables are spherically symetric, while the angular momentum depends both on radius and latitude. We obtain a closed set of equations for stellar evolution, with a self-consistent description for the transport of angular momentum in convective regions. We derive the linear coefficients which link the angular momentum flux to the rotation rate ($Λ$- effect) and its gradient ($α$-effect). We compare our results to former relevant numerical work.

Defining the Concept of Competence: a Systematic Literature Review
Creators: name: Tarekegne, Chalachew
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2018

description: Performance in the actual job environment is a much more investigated area. In the field of psychology, human resources development and education, the concept of competence is a prerequisite for and the centre of analysis. This article review focuses on how competence is conceptualized in the literature during 1950-2010. A systematic review was done using the google scholar search engine which covers different fields of social sciences like psychology, human resources development, and education, among others. The search was operated by using the word ‘competence’ and the phrase ‘competence-based education’. Six articles that were written in English and published between 1950-2010 were identified. However, after judging their relevance, two articles were excluded because of duplication and focus on competence for firm competitiveness instead of defining it. Hence, four articles were included and submitted for data extraction. The selected articles were assessed for biases based on three quality assessment criteria enlisted as: methodological quality, precision, and external validity. Following the quality assessment for biases, data were analysed qualitatively using content analysis method. Thematic synthesis was used to bring the findings from those 4 articles together. Though there are different theoretical assumptions related to it, it is concluded, competence is conceptualized as the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes by the learners/trainees to achieve superior performance in the actual job environment.

The resulting multipoles are used to construct bona fide quasiprobability distributions that appear as a sum of successive moments of the Stokes variables; the first one corresponding to the classical picture on the Poincare sphere. We employ the particular case of the $Q$ function to formulate a whole hierarchy of measures that properly assess higher-order polarization correlations.

title: Last ice sheet recession and submarine slope failures in a complex arctic inlet, Inner Frobisher Bay, Baffin Island, Nunavut
Creators: name: Deering, Robert
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: The Cockburn Substage readvance marks the last major late-glacial advance of the northeast sector of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, but has been examined at only a handful of sites on Baffin Island. The causes of this abrupt, late reversal of retreat are still unclear, but greater chronological control may provide some insight. To date, the literature has focused on the large terminal moraines common in the region, providing a singular date of readvance (prior to c. 9.5-8.5 ka cal BP). In Frobisher Bay, the Cockburn Substage readvance and recession are marked by a series of end moraines spanning ~20 km on either side of the inner bay. New acoustic marine mapping reported here from inner Frobisher Bay (IFB) reveals five distinct seafloor ridges that roughly correspond to the onshore moraines, as well as two fields of DeGeer moraines. These differing types of ridges indicate that the style of ice retreat changed over time from an episodic recession to a more regular tidewater ice front retreat. Radiocarbon dated shells from cored glaciomarine and postglacial sediments adjacent to and between the moraines indicate that ice readvanced prior to 9.4 ka cal BP and did not retreat from IFB before 7.6 ka cal BP. Sedimentary characteristics indicate changes in provenance and deposition rate as ice retreated. This paper describes the final retreat of Laurentide ice out of IFB, showing how style of deglaciation and depositional environments changed from the end of the Cockburn Readvance until recently. Inner Frobisher Bay is home to an abnormally high density of submarine slope failures (SSF; at least 246; ~1/20 km2). Understanding the causes of such an abundance of failure products and their chronology contributes to hazard reduction in the capital region of Nunavut. SSFs have the potential to destroy seafloor and coastal infrastructure directly and, when sufficiently large, can be tsunamigenic. Morphometric analysis of SSFs provides an insight into their spatial distribution, relative chronology, triggers, and preconditioning factors. SSFs in IFB are asynchronous and have been occurring in IFB since at least 5.7 ka cal BP, with some features dated to within the last 500 years, indicating the possibility of SSFs being an active process in the basin. Factors preconditioning these events in the basin appear to be connected to the geotechnical properties of deglacial sediments and the complex bathymetry of IFB. Triggering mechanisms appear to act asynchronously, suggesting probable triggers include small seismic events or cyclic tidal loading.
The Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam - Likelihood of Cooperation or Conflict between Ethiopia and Sudan?

description: In this study, the existing challenges and prospect of the Ethio-Sudanese relations over the hydropolitics of the Nile, particularly after the commencement of the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) project, were critically examined. In addition, an attempt was made to examine whether the common water resource of the Nile might lead the two countries into conflict in the future. Within qualitative methodology, case study research design was employed. Major theories of hydro-politics were also critically reviewed to explain current relations and to predict likely future scenarios. The analysis reveals that Egypt’s strong sphere of influence over the region has been one of the existential threats to the Ethio-Sudanese relation. Besides, the implications of the two parallel international legal regimes over the Nile water resource utilization during the colonial as well as the post-colonial periods have been existential challenges to the bilateral relations over the Nile question. However, rewarding practical lessons that Sudan has learnt from Ethiopia’s previous projects on the Nile River, has recently been creating an opportunity for an improvement of international relations. Finally, critical analysis of existential relations of the two neighboring states over the hydro-politics of the Nile also implies the recognition of cooperation over conflict as to the future prospect of their relationship. This is basically because of various forms of pragmatic hydro-diplomatic drives the two neighbors to settle existential and emerging challenges over the Nile water resource management.

description: The government of Ethiopia is committed in attaining safe drinking water coverage by the year 2015. However, the focus has been on provision of drinking water and spatial coverage rather than on safe and sustainable water point sources. The general objective of the study was to examine the rural water point sources coverage taking Bahir Dar Zuria district as a case. Five rural kebele administrations were randomly selected and a total of 124 households were selected using systematic sampling techniques for household survey. Water point data were collected for the entire district and a total of 523 water point sources were identified and mapped using GPS, DR Garmin and water point mapper. The results showed that hand dug pump (77.4%) and hand dug wells rope pump (11.9%) were the dominant water point sources in the study area. In terms of functionality, 16% of the water point sources were not functioning during the field survey because of lack of repair and maintenance, low yield and management problems. The study, through the use of GIS environment, revealed that the distribution of water point sources in the district were dispersed spatially. It was found out that there were dense concentrations of water point sources in the southern part of the study district, while in the northwestern part; the distributions were relatively thinner, especially that of hand dug well normal pumps. From the survey data, it can be inferred that community participation and strong institutional factors helped to enhance sustainability of water supply whereas theft, lack of spare parts, shortage of technical experts, faulty operation and lack of financial support for maintenance were identified as negative factors affecting the sustainability of water point sources in the study area. The study recommended that kebele officials have to create awareness in the community on sustainable use of the available water point sources.

The Annole Monument and Negus Menelik’s Expedition towards Arsi: A Bibliographic Essay
Creators: name: Tariku, Ayele
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2018

description: The formation of state in every society passes through different stages and mechanisms. In most cases, state formation involves one of these three forms: peaceful, forceful or a mixture of both. The current Ethiopian state is the result of all three forms. In the second half of the 19th century, Emperor Tewodros II (r.1855-1868) appeared in the political scene with a stronger vision to rule Ethiopia with one central administrative system, and culminated in the Era of Princes. The centralization project continued during the reign of Emperor Yohannes IV (r.1872-1889). In the last quarter of the same century, when the unification motto was common in Italy and Germany, Emperor Menelik II (1889-1913) strengthened the project and amalgamated different regions of northern and southern Ethiopia into his empire including Arsi. Many of the regions in southern Ethiopia were incorporated into his empire through forceful as well as peaceful measures between the years 1870 and 1900. These measures formed the current territorial shape of Ethiopia. There are two major different views concerning the process of state formation of the modern Ethiopian empire. These are the reunification and the colonial views. The colonial view maintains that until its incorporation, Oromia was an independent state and it was historically and culturally different from the northern part of Ethiopia. Thus, the expedition was colonial in its motive, nature and consequences. The reunification thesis on the other hand, advocates that the Oromo and all the people in the south had for ages been part and parcel of Ethiopia and lived together. Accordingly, the expedition did not have any colonial motive or nature. It aimed at reincorporation and protecting the people from external threat, extraction of natural resources and bring peace and stability. The paper examines how scholars addressed this issue in their publications in the 1980s and 1990s (G.C.). This paper does not attempt to endorse or reject any of these views. Instead, this essay aims to critically examine how scholars discursively understand and reflect the same issue differently.

description: Land and water degradation threaten food security for many of the poorest and most food insecure living in South Asia, Africa and Latin America. Local community participation in watershed management is critical to minimize and to prevent environmental degradation in a sustainable manner. Hence, this study examined households’ participation in watershed management practices in Zema watershed, Gonji Kolela district of the Amhara National Regional Sate, Ethiopia. The researchers employed mixed methods research design for the study. Simple random sampling method was used to select the two rural kebele administrations for the study. A total of 180 households were sampled using proportional stratified systematic sampling technique. Key informant interview, survey questionnaire and non-participant observation were the primary data collection instruments for the study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to sort and analyze the data. Binary logistic regression model was employed to identify variables affecting households’ participation in watershed management. The study showed that about 51% of the respondents participated in integrated watershed management practices. Terracing, area enclosure, and soil and stone bunds were imperative watershed structures in the study area. The study revealed that watershed management activities are important source of income, enable better utilization of natural resources, create employment opportunity, and increase productivity. The binary logistic regression result indicated that agro ecological zone, farm size, sex of household heads, trainings and distance of farmland from the homestead were determinant factors for households’ participation in watershed management. The study found out that the efforts made to construct watershed management and the results obtained so far were not encouraging. This is due to the limited awareness of the farmers about the project mandate, and from lack of trust in xy and frustration of farmers that it consumes their farmland. The study recommended policy makers and local governments to give due attention in changing the behavior of the farmers through continuous trainings for the sustainable use of the watershed management. More importantly, farmers have to be empowered in planning and decision making to develop a sense of ownership rather than urging top down approach.

Zera Yacob’s Hatata and the vitality of an Indigenous Ethiopian Philosophy
Creators: name: Merawi, Fasil
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2018

description: In today’s globalized world, indigenous knowledge is seen as a way of mediating the gap between foreign and local forms of knowledge, envisioning a holistic and sustainable form of development and exploring the wisdom of indigenous cultures. To this extent, it develops a severe critique of programs of modernization and westernization, in return emphasizing the value of artistic, literary, environmental and ethical systems of thought extracted from local communities. Some of the contending labels through which the quest for indigenous knowledge finds expression include indigenous culture, art, environmental ethics, governance, conflict resolution and philosophy. This paper explores primarily the possibility of an indigenous Ethiopian philosophy through an analysis of the ideas of a modern Ethiopian philosopher, Zera Yacob. Animated by the religious controversies and disputes over the nature of true faith in modern Ethiopia, Zera Yacob developed a unique indigenous philosophy in his work- the Hatata. In this work, he grappled with questions of religious disputes and mutual coexistence, the relation between ethics and rationality, the laws of man, reason and God, and social and political issues amongst others. Through an interrogation of Zera Yacob’s Hatata, this paper argues that, (1) Zera Yacob’s philosophy, by developing a system of philosophy guided by the light of reason challenges Western conceptions of Africa and Africans as pre-logical, barbaric and uncivilized, (2) the Hatata introduced a rational foundation for ethics that could be used to analyze everyday moral dilemmas, and (3) the Hatata emphasized the notion of religious pluralism which could be used to settle religious disputes and controversies at this point in time.

description: With use of the nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger (or Gross-Pitaevskii) equation with strong repulsive cubic nonlinearity, dynamics of multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with a harmonic trap in 2 dimensions is investigated beyond the Thomas-Fermi regime. In the case when each component has a single vortex, we obtain an effective nonlinear dynamics for vortex cores (particles). The particles here acquire the inertia, in marked contrast to the standard theory of point vortices widely known in the usual hydrodynamics. The effective dynamics is equivalent to that of charged particles under a strong spring force and in the presence of Lorentz force with the uniform magnetic field. The inter-particle (vortex-vortex) interaction is singularly-repulsive and short-ranged with its magnitude decreasing with increasing distance of the center of mass from the trapping center. "Chaos in the three-body problem" in the three vortices system can be seen, which is not expected in the corresponding point vortices without inertia in 2 dimensions.

Harvesting of fully ripe tomato usually packed in basket/ raffia early in the morning were common indigenous handling and packaging practices to prevent post-harvest losses by tomato farmers in the study area. Indigenous preservative methods such as sun drying, pureed and sealed with oil in jars, boiled and sealed, cold water were mostly perceived to be effective indigenous preservative methods by tomato farmers in the study area. Regression analysis further revealed that age of respondent has positive influence on farmers’ perception of the effectiveness of indigenous preservative practices. In the view of the findings, it can be concluded that tomato farmers still hold to indigenous postharvest handling, packaging and preservative practices. It is therefore important that agricultural extension services should focus on the provision of facilities that will improve sun drying method commonly used by farmers in the study area.

Operation Flame and the Destruction of the 3rd Division
Creators: name: Ayele, Fantahun
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2015

description: The Third Division was one of the eminent army units of the Ethiopian ground forces. Since its creation in the 1940s, it was based in the Ogaden for many years to repulse possible Somali invasion. Following the defeat of Somali in 1978, it was involved in many counter-insurgency operations in Eritrea, Tigray, Wollo and Northern Shewa. In May 1990, the high command worked out a plan known as “Operation Flame” to wipe out the insurgents based in Northern Shewa and southern Wollo. But the operation miserably failed and that led to the destruction of the Third Division. Using untapped archival and oral sources, this paper attempts to investigate the main reasons for the failure of the operation.

description: We present an ab initio GW calculation to study dynamical effects on an organic compound (TMTSF)2PF6. Calculated polarized reflectivities reproduce experimental plasma edges at around 0.2 eV for E||b' and 1.0 eV for E||a. The low-energy plasmons come out from the low-energy narrow bands energetically isolated from other higher-energy bands, and affect the low-energy electronic structure via the GW-type self-energy. Because of the quasi-one-dimensional band structure, a large plasmon-induced electron scattering is found in the low-energy occupied states along the X-M line.

Causes and Consequences of Sexual Abuse and Resilience Factors in Housemaids Working in Addis Ababa: A Qualitative Inquiry
Creators: name: Ayenalem, Seblewongiel
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2015

description: This study explored the resilience of sexually abused female housemaids in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The study employed exploratory qualitative methods, using in-depth and key informant interviews to collect data. The participants were one broker, one counselor, and eight purposively selected housemaids who were young, single female migrants with impoverished family backgrounds. Among the eight study participants, four experienced rape, one faced attempted rape, and the remaining three had their private body parts touched without their consent. Contexts that enhanced possibilities of sexual abuses, as expressed by respondents, include drinking of perpetuators, absence of wives from the home, lack of well-defined boundaries to the sector, and tricked with false promises. As a result, study participants faced emotional disturbance, distrust, hopelessness, job insecurity, unsafe abortion, unwanted pregnancy, and contracted HIV. The major strategies used by sexually abused housemaids to become resilient identified were normalizing the problem, disclosing, religious coping, personal values, and setting positive life goals. The study calls for service providers, professionals, policy makers, and legal agencies to recognize the issue of sexually abuse in housemaids as fertile ground for intervention research and practice.

description: Intimate partner violence against women (IPV) is a critical social problem in developing countries like Ethiopia. However, little research has been done to investigate the extent of the problem and the society’s attitude in South Wollo and East Gojjam Zones of Amhara Region. This study investigates women’s decision making participation in household matters, physical and sexual abuse, and attitude towards wife beating using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings show that women are deprived of their decision making rights, physical and sexual abuse of women are highly prevalent and are considered as ‘normal’ part of marital relationship. Majority of participants (66 %) support wife beating and statistically significant higher proportion of women support wife beating than their male counterparts. The findings indicate that women are experiencing high levels of intimate partner violence in the domestic sphere. Therefore, this issue should be a critical concern for social workers, other professionals and policy makers.

title: Visual inertial lidar odometry and mapping (VI-LOAM) fusion for UAV-based parcel delivery
Creators: name: Dissanayaka, Didula
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: This study presents the design, implementation, and validation of a robust GPSaided multi-sensory odometry and mapping system for an end-to-end UAV-based parcel delivery application. There are two main approaches for UAV navigation, GPS navigation and GPS denied navigation. However, the existing GPS navigation solutions sometimes produce degenerative results due to GPS loss, multipath signals, and spoofing events. On the other hand, GPS denied navigation solutions suffer from inherent drift and sensor degradation scenarios. Additionally, the existing navigation solutions do not comply with UAV safety regulations when possible sensor failures end-to-end navigation requirements is considered. Therefore, this thesis focus on developing a robust UAV navigation system by integrating visual, inertial, and lidar sensors with GPS to overcome the limitations of existing navigation solutions. Three significant contributions are produced in this study. First, a numerical study to evaluate the possibility of incorporating GPS with a GPS denied navigation solution for improved performance and safety regulatory compliance. Second, the development of a novel UAV navigation architecture combining visual, lidar, and inertial sensors that is robust for environmental degradation and aggressive motion. Third, integrating GPS with the novel UAV navigation architecture for improved accuracy. Additionally, this study presents results and a comparison study of the proposed navigation system and state-of-the-art navigation systems for different online benchmark datasets and in-house datasets. Moreover, the proposed GPS-aided UAV navigation system is evaluated against compliance with the associated safety regulations under different GPS scenarios.
Iddirs as Community-based Social Capital in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia: Case Study in Gende Woin Town of East Gojjam

description: Though iddirs are vital in reducing social and/or idiosyncratic crises, there are formidable challenges in the implementation of this social capital for sustainable development. Experiences across Ethiopia in general and the study area in particular showed that less attention is given by the government. In addition, corruptions and embezzlement by iddir leaders hamper the potentials of iddirs in enhancing community-based development. The general objective of the study was to assess the role of ddirs in Gende Woin town as a case study site. In this study, mixed research approach was used, and questionnaire survey, key informant interview and focus group discussion were employed to collect primary data. A total of 118 households were covered by the questionnaire survey and six key informants and one focus group discussions were employed to collect qualitative data. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression modeling were used to analyze quantitative data. This study revealed that the majority (80%) of respondents were members of iddirs, among them 74% were maleheaded households. The majority of households perceived that iddir helps to organize and defend themselves at times of economic and social crises. However, the potentials of iddir in reducing shocks and mobilizing the community for development are underutilized due to lack of attention given by the previous and the current governments. Besides, financial constraints, lack of commitment among members and corruption perpetrated by their leaders and officials weakened the contributions of iddir for sustainable development. The binary logistic result showed that gender, income, family size and marital status were determinant factors for households’ to be membership in iddirs. In order to build up the capacity of iddirs, and maximize their involvement and efficiency in developmental activities both governmental and non-governmental organizations are expected to encourage and work together with iddirs.
