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

description: The general objective of this research was to assess the practices and challenge of Management Development in government of polytechnic colleges in Addis Ababa. Descriptive survey research design was employed. The research both quantitative and qualitative research approach was used. Also, take as a study population all the colleges' managers that worked in different managerial position levels. Data gathering instruments were employed mainly, closed and open ended questionnaire interview. In this effect, mean, standard deviation and frequency percentage was employed to data analysis. The findings clearly show there was a limited attention to MD programs intervention in government colleges..Therefore, according to the findings that gathered from the data there were less support and less follow up practice of MD programs in the colleges as compared to its importance. Key recommendations include for different groups that was for the government and top responsible bodies that establishing effective and institutionalized MD system in the colleges, develop MD policy, strengthen and empower the responsible department to properly manage the separate MD practices of individual departments, undertaking the whole MD cycle very carefully and in a continuous base also for individual managers motivated to do self development by using different mechanisms.

description: In this paper we study the consequences of the introduction of a flat boundary on a 4D covariant rank-2 gauge theory described by a linear combination of linearized gravity and covariant fracton theory. We show that this theory gives rise to a Maxwell-Chern-Simons-like theory of two rank-2 traceless symmetric tensor fields. This induced 3D theory can be physically traced back to the traceless scalar charge theory of fractons, where the Chern-Simons-like term plays the role of a matter contribution. By further imposing time reversal invariance on the boundary, the Chern-Simons-like term disappears. Importantly, on the boundary of our 4D gauge theory we find a generalized U(1) Kaç-Moody algebra and the induced 3D theory is characterized by the conservation of the dipole moment.

description: Data-driven methodology has become a key tool in computationally predicting material properties. Currently, these techniques are priced high due to computational requirements for generating sufficient training data for high-precision machine learning models. In this study, we present a Support Vector Regression (SVR)-based machine learning model to predict the stability of silicon (Si) - alkaline metal alloys, with a strong emphasis on the transferability of the model to new silicon alloys with different electronic configurations and structures. We elaborate on the role of the structural descriptor in imparting transferability to the model that is trained on limited data (~750 Si alloys) derived from the Material Project database. Three popular descriptors, namely X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Sine Coulomb Matrix (SCM), and Orbital Field Matrix (OFM), are evaluated for representing Si alloys. The material structures are represented by descriptors in the SVR model, coupled with hyperparameter tuning techniques like Grid Search CV and Bayesian Optimization (BO), to find the best performing model for predicting total energy, formation energy and packing fraction of the Si alloy systems. The models are trained on Si alloys with lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and aluminum (Al) metals, where Si-Na and Si-Al systems are used as test structures. Our results show that XRD, an experimentally derived characterization of structures, performs most reliably as a descriptor for total energy prediction of new Si alloys. The study demonstrates that by qualitatively selection of training data, using hyperparameter tuning methods, and employing appropriate structural descriptors, the data requirements for robust and accurate ML models can be reduced.

description: We present a simple model for low-mass planet formation and subsequent evolution within "transition" discs. We demonstrate quantitatively that the predicted and observed structure of such discs are prime birthsites of planets. Planet formation is likely to proceed through pebble accretion, should a planetary embryo ($M\gtrsim 10^{-4}\,$M$_\oplus$) form. Efficient pebble accretion is likely to be unavoidable in transition disc dust traps, as the size of the dust particles required for pebble accretion are those which are most efficiently trapped in the transition disc dust trap. Rapid pebble accretion within the dust trap gives rise, not only to low-mass planets, but to a large accretion luminosity. This accretion luminosity is sufficient to heat the disc outside the gravitational influence of the planet and makes the disc locally baroclinic, and a source of vorticity. Using numerical simulations we demonstrate that this source of vorticity can lead to the growth of a single large scale vortex in $\sim 100$ orbits, which is capable of trapping particles. Finally, we suggest an evolutionary cycle: planet formation proceeds through pebble accretion, followed by vortex formation and particle trapping in the vortex quenching the planetary accretion and thus removing the vorticity source. After the vortex is destroyed the process can begin anew. This means transition discs should present with large scale vortices for a significant fraction of their lifetimes and remnant planets at large ~10AU separation should be a common outcome of this cycle.

description: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has an important role in controlling infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association between MIF -173 G/C functional polymorphism and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in an Iranian population from Zahedan Southeast Iran. This case-control study was done on 161 PTB and 142 healthy subjects. Genomic DNA was extracted from all participants by salting out method. The MIF -173 G/C variant was genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The finding showed that the MIF -173 G/C polymorphism increased the risk of PTB in codominant (OR=1.76, 95 % CI=1.05-2.95, p=0.038, GC vs GG) and dominant (OR=1.78, 95 % CI=1.09-2.91, p=0.027, GC+CC vs GG) tested inheritance models. Furthermore, the minor allele frequency (MAF) increased the risk of PTB in comparison with G allele (OR=1.63, 95 % CI=1.07-2.48, p=0.028). In conclusion, the present study provides evidence that -173 G/C polymorphism may increase the risk of PTB.

description: We show that optical moire lattices enable the existence of vortex solitons of different types in self-focusing Kerr media. We address the properties of such states both in lattices having commensurate and incommensurate geometries (i.e., constructed with Pythagorean and non-Pythagorean twist angles, respectively), in the different regimes that occur below and above the localization-delocalization transition. We find that the threshold power required for the formation of vortex solitons strongly depends on the twist angle and, also, that the families of solitons exhibit intervals where their power is a nearly linear function of the propagation constant and they exhibit strong stability. Also, in the incommensurate phase above the localization-delocalization transition, we found stable embedded vortex solitons whose propagation constants belong to the linear spectral domain of the system.

description: Human modification of the environment has drastically changed ecosystems around the globe. While forest-loss (deforestation) has been well studied for its effects on ecosystems, afforestation also has major impacts on ecosystems. The Udzungwa Plateau in Tanzania is naturally a mix of forests and grasslands. However, non-native pine plantations have recently increased in the area displacing the native grasslands of the montane plateau. In this study, we explored the effects of land use change on amphibian communities by comparing amphibian surveys before non-native plantations were introduced (~ 2000) and after (2017-2019). To put these amphibian surveys into wider context across the plateau, to distinguish local population loss compared to plateau-wide extinctions, we compared new sampling locations and broader surveys and assessed landscape change through remotely sensed data. Amphibian encounter surveys found approximately the same species diversity across all sampling locations, but local extinctions appear likely. Remaining amphibians appear to be limited to small refugia in non-pine wetlands. Approximately half (45%) of the species found have limited distributional ranges (<72,000 km2) and are described as habitat specialists by the IUCN Red List. Monitoring pine plantation growth using remote sensing techniques suggested only limited extensions of plantations between 2000 through to 2013-2016, but ground-surveys found small pines (<3 years old) throughout almost all areas identified as grasslands on satellite imagery. Our study highlights the plight of this narrowing biome on the African continent and calls for more intensive research on the impact of non-native plantations on natural communities.

description: Results are presented of the Darwin pot trial, designed as a factorial, testing three soils, three provenances of P. caribaea var. hondurensis and sixteen fertiliser treatments involving the use of P, N, S and T (trace element mixture). The analysis of variance revealed that P, S and T treatments had significant effects on total dry weight. P was the most important nutrient for plant growth. The SxN, PxNxS, PxT, TxS, NxTxS, PxS and P x T x S fertiliser interactions were also significant. The PNS treatment was the optimum treatment averaged over all soils and prevenances. Seedlings of the Queensland provenance had the largest dry weight (averaged over fertiliser regimes) on all soils, with the Alamicamban provenance having the least dry weight. Seedlings on the PBO-IO cm soil had the largest dry weight (averaged over all fertiliser regimes and provenances) and the PB10-25 cm soil had the least. This indicated the importance of the topsoil of red earths for the growth of P. caribaea. The greater production of the PBO-IO cm soil relative to the Three Ways soil also indicated that the Point Blaze site should be planted with a field trial. Mycorrhizal addition resulted in an increase in total dry weight production in most cases tested. The influence of mycorrhizae on the growth of P. cavibaea should be investigated further. The soil x fertiliser and provenance x fertiliser interactions were both significant at the 0.001 probability level for total dry weight production. This emphasises the need for further studies into the genotype x environment interactions with P. cavibaea provenances. The Ainslie trial confirmed that large increases in growth can be obtained with P. cavibaea with the addition of phosphorus.

description: It is common practice to take for granted the equality (up to the constant $\varepsilon_0$) of the electric displacement ($\bf{D}$) and electric ($\bf{E}$) field vectors in vacuum. The same happens with the magnetic field ($\bf{H}$) and the magnetic flux density ($\bf{B}$) vectors (up to the constant $μ_0^{-1}$). The fact that gravity may change this by effectively inducing dielectric or magnetic responses to the primary fields is commonly overlooked. It is the purpose of this communication to call attention to classical polarization or magnetization of the vacuum due to the concomitant presence of gravitational and electromagnetic sources. The formalism of differential forms (exterior calculus) is used since it provides a clear-cut way to achieve this. This work offers new routes for possible detection of various spacetime geometries via their electromagnetic manifestations and the way they influence light propagation.

description: The main objective of this case study is to investigate the contribution of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to the public sector, with a particular emphasis on the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange. The study evaluated the how ICT application of the Exchange support its various operations and its clients. Descriptive case study research method is used, and it applied questionnaires and interviews as a data gathering instruments. Data were acquired through questionnaires to evaluate the contributions of the application of ICT in the ECX since its formation in 2008, and opportunities and challenges it created to commodities exporters. In addition to this, interview guides were prepared and interviews were conducted with ICT/IT department of the exchange and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology senior ICT officer. In the meantime secondary data analysis conducted to investigate the contributions of ICT to the exchange"s operations since its formation in 2008. The research adopted mainly qualitative data analysis. The application or introduction of intensive ICT technologies in the Ethiopian commodities market is a new and recent experience. It has not been explored academically and the researcher considered this as a major research gap. Hence, in this research I explored what contributions and changes the ECX brought to the county"s commodities sectors. The Government of Ethiopia is the owner of the ECX, and it is established as public enterprise in 2007 under the proclamation No. 550/07. In this research paper the theory of E-Government and E-Governance along with economic theories that justifies the need for institutionalized exchange formation were also assessed. In the context of this study ICTs was found to be contributing significantly to the Ethiopian commodities market in its application of various technological ICT support systems that facilitates the daily transaction activities of its own and exporters various operations, ICT also enhanced decision-making capacity, and create an opportunity for a smooth and faster clearing and settlement of transactions. The most common perceived barriers felt by exporters are the exchange"s website was not user-friendly, unable to know the stock positions at the exchanges" hand, frequent communication breakdown and interruptions, and increased operational costs are among the few to mention

description: Oral lesions are important findings on computed tomography (CT) images. In this study, a fully automatic method to detect oral lesions in mandibular region from dental CT images is proposed. Two methods were developed to recognize two types of lesions namely (1) Close border (CB) lesions and (2) Open border (OB) lesions, which cover most of the lesion types that can be found on CT images. For the detection of CB lesions, fifteen features were extracted from each initial lesion candidates and multi layer perceptron (MLP) neural network was used to classify suspicious regions. Moreover, OB lesions were detected using a rule based image processing method, where no feature extraction or classification algorithm were used. The results were validated using a CT dataset of 52 patients, where 22 patients had abnormalities and 30 patients were normal. Using non-training dataset, CB detection algorithm yielded 71% sensitivity with 0.31 false positives per patient. Furthermore, OB detection algorithm achieved 100% sensitivity with 0.13 false positives per patient. Results suggest that, the proposed framework, which consists of two methods, has the potential to be used in clinical context, and assist radiologists for better diagnosis.

description: Der Entwurf eines Zweiten Gesetzes zur Regelung des Urheberrechts in der Informationsgesellschaft, der noch in diesem Jahr vom Parlament verabschiedet werden soll, entfacht in vielfacher Hinsicht heftigen Streit. Aus Sicht der Hochschulen und Bibliotheken könnte sich die anstehende Novellierung verheerend auf die deutschen Lehr- und Forschungsbedingungen auswirken. Besonders kritisiert werden die Gefährdung von E-Learning-Angeboten durch den möglichen Wegfall des § 52a UrhG, die Einschränkung des Kopierrechts (§ 53 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 UrhG), die Enteignung der Autoren bezüglich ihrer Rechte für unbekannte Nutzungsarten (§ 31a UrhG) und der Vorrang technischer Schutzmaßnahmen gemäß § 95b UrhG. Als schlechthin unzumutbar für die allgemeine Informationsversorgung ist die geplante Einführung des § 53a UrhG zu werten, weil diese die Dokumentlieferdienste wie Subito oder die Online-Fernleihe in ihrer Existenz gefährdet. Der Vortrag informiert über den aktuellen Stand der Reformbestrebungen und zeigt die voraussichtlichen Auswirkungen auf Forschung, Lehre und die praktische Bibliotheksarbeit.

description: To understand the finite-size-scaling properties of phases transitions in classical and quantum models in the presence of quenched disorder, it has proven to be fruitful to introduce the notion of a finite-size-pseudo-critical point in each disordered sample and to analyze its sample-to-sample fluctuations as a function of the size. For the Many-Body-Localization transition, where very strong eigenstate-to-eigenstate fluctuations have been numerically reported even within a given disordered sample at a given energy density [X. Yu, D. J. Luitz, B. K. Clark, arxiv:1606.01260 and V. Khemani, S. P. Lim, D. N. Sheng, D. A. Huse,arxiv:1607.05756], it seems thus useful to introduce the notion of a finite-size-pseudo-critical point for each individual eigenstate and to study its eigenstate-to-eigenstate fluctuations governed by the correlation length exponent $ν$. The scaling properties of critical eigenstates are also expected to appear much more clearly if one considers each eigenstate at its finite-size-pseudo-critical point, where it is 'truly critical', while standard averages over eigenstates and samples in the critical region actually see a mixture of states that are effectively either localized or delocalized.

description: We study the $ρπ$ and $b_1π$ decay modes of the $1^{-+}$ light hybrid state within the framework of light-cone QCD sum rules. We use both the tensor current $\barψσ_{μν}ψ$ and the derivative current $\barψ\overleftrightarrow{D}_μγ_5ψ$ as interpolating currents to calculate the partial decay width of the $b_1π$ decay mode. Comparing the sum rules obtained by using different currents, we obtain $Γ(π_1\to b_1π)$ = 8--23, 32--86 and 52--151\,MeV for $m_{1^{-+}}$ = 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0\,GeV respectively, which favour the results from the flux tube models and lattice simulations. We also use the tensor current to study the $ρπ$ decay mode, and although an extended stability criterion is needed, our results suggest a small partial decay width.

A Comparative Study of the Impact of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Rewards on Employees Motivation Between Public and Private Commercial Banks in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Habte, Melaku

description: The purpose of this study is to compare the impacts of intrinsic and extrinsic rewards on employees' motivation between public and private commercial banks in Ethiopia. The target population of the study was the employees of the selected public and private commercial banks of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE), Awash International Bank (AIB), Cooperative Bank of Oromia (CBO) and Enat Bank. Hence, a mixed method of stratified purposive sampling was used, and 363 questionnaires were distributed to the employees of one public commercial bank and three private commercial banks, out of these questionnaires, 298 were filled properly. As a result, the overall response rate was 82 percent. The major findings of the study reveals that public commercial banks employees in Ethiopia motivated by intrinsic rewards more than the private commercial banks employees, while, private sector commercial banks employees in Ethiopia motivated by the extrinsic rewards more than the public sector commercial banks employees. Besides, the result suggests that with the acceptable P<0.05 significant levels, all the variables of intrinsic rewards are statistically significant. Finally, the researcher suggests that the public and private commercial banks human resource management and the concerned body(s) focus on both intrinsic and extrinsic reward elements to motivate employees better and to achieve the desired end(s). Key words: Intrinsic reward, extrinsic reward and employee motivation

description: We develop the formalism of fermionic matrix product states (fMPS) and show how irreducible fMPS fall in two different classes, related to the different types of simple $\mathbb{Z}_2$ graded algebras, which are physically distinguished by the absence or presence of Majorana edge modes. The local structure of fMPS with Majorana edge modes also implies that there is always a two-fold degeneracy in the entanglement spectrum. Using the fMPS formalism we make explicit the correspondence between the $\mathbb{Z}_8$ classification of time-reversal invariant spinless superconductors and the modulo 8 periodicity in the representation theory of real Clifford algebras. Studying fMPS with general on-site unitary and anti-unitary symmetries allows us to define invariants that label symmetry-protected phases of interacting fermions. The behavior of these invariants under stacking of fMPS is derived, which reveals the group structure of such interacting phases.We also consider spatial symmetries and show how the invariant phase factor in the partition function of reflection symmetric phases on an unorientable manifold appears in the fMPS framework.

description: Shared Mobility Services (SMS), e.g., Demand-Responsive Transit (DRT) or ride-sharing, can improve mobility in low-density areas, often poorly served by conventional Public Transport (PT). Such improvement is mostly quantified via basic performance indicators, like wait or travel time. However, accessibility indicators, measuring the ease of reaching surrounding opportunities (e.g., jobs, schools, shops, ...), would be a more comprehensive indicator. To date, no method exists to quantify the accessibility of SMS based on empirical measurements. Indeed, accessibility is generally computed on graph representations of PT networks, but SMS are dynamic and do not follow a predefined network. We propose a spatial-temporal statistical method that takes as input observed trips of a SMS acting as a feeder for PT and summarized such trips in a graph. On such a graph, we compute classic accessibility indicators. We apply our method to a MATSim simulation study concerning DRT in Paris-Saclay.
Colloidal Surfaces with Boundaries, Apex Boojums and Nested Elastic Self-Assembly of Nematic Colloids

description: Self-assembly of colloidal particles is poised to become a powerful composite material fabrication technique, but remains challenged by a limited control over the ensuing structures. We develop a new breed of nematic colloids that are physical analogs of a mathematical surface with boundary, interacting with the molecular alignment field without inducing defects when flat. However, made from a thin nanofoil, they can be shaped to prompt formation of self-compensating defects that drive pre-programmed elastic interactions mediated by the nematic host. To show this, we wrap the nanofoil on all triangular side faces of a pyramid, except its square base. The ensuing pyramidal cones induce point defects with fractional hedgehog charges of opposite signs, spontaneously align with respect to the far-field director to form elastic dipoles and nested assemblies with tunable spacing. Nanofoils shaped into octahedrons interact as elastic quadrupoles. Our findings may drive realization of low-symmetry colloidal phases.

description: Eine Befragung berufstätiger Eltern geht der Frage nach, welche Art von Zeitnutzung das Wohlbefinden dieser Gruppe fördert. Die Ergebnisse belegen, dass eine strategische Zeitnutzung sowie die Möglichkeit, Zeit zu planen, die Lebensqualität erhöht. Die Notwendigkeit dagegen, auf Erwerbsarbeit oder Familie zu verzichten, beeinflusst das Wohlbefinden negativ. Auch flexible Anpassung eigener Zeit an die äußeren Bedingungen übt einen negativen Einfluß aus.

description: Street-view imagery provides us with novel experiences to explore different places remotely. Carefully calibrated street-view images (e.g. Google Street View) can be used for different downstream tasks, e.g. navigation, map features extraction. As personal high-quality cameras have become much more affordable and portable, an enormous amount of crowdsourced street-view images are uploaded to the internet, but commonly with missing or noisy sensor information. To prepare this hidden treasure for "ready-to-use" status, determining missing location information and camera orientation angles are two equally important tasks. Recent methods have achieved high performance on geo-localization of street-view images by cross-view matching with a pool of geo-referenced satellite imagery. However, most of the existing works focus more on geo-localization than estimating the image orientation. In this work, we re-state the importance of finding fine-grained orientation for street-view images, formally define the problem and provide a set of evaluation metrics to assess the quality of the orientation estimation. We propose two methods to improve the granularity of the orientation estimation, achieving 82.4% and 72.3% accuracy for images with estimated angle errors below 2 degrees for CVUSA and CVACT datasets, corresponding to 34.9% and 28.2% absolute improvement compared to previous works. Integrating fine-grained orientation estimation in training also improves the performance on geo-localization, giving top 1 recall 95.5%/85.5% and 86.8%/80.4% for orientation known/unknown tests on the two datasets.

Universal $L^2$-torsion, polytopes and applications to $3$-manifolds

description: Given an $L^2$-acyclic connected finite $CW$-complex, we define its universal $L^2$-torsion in terms of the chain complex of its universal covering. It takes values in the weak Whitehead group $\operatorname{Wh}^w(G)$. We study its main properties such as homotopy invariance, sum formula, product formula and Poincaré duality. Under certain assumptions, we can specify certain homomorphisms from the weak Whitehead group $\operatorname{Wh}^w(G)$ to abelian groups such as the real numbers or the Grothendieck group of integral polytopes, and the image of the universal $L^2$-torsion can be identified with many invariants such as the $L^2$-torsion, the $L^2$-torsion function, twisted $L^2$-Euler characteristics and, in the case of a $3$-manifold, the dual Thurston norm polytope.
