The Effect Of Customs Clearing Process On The Performance Of Custom Clearing Agents In Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Girma, Essete
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The study focuses on identifying the challenges & to show how the challenges affect the performance of Custom Clearing Agents mostly from delivery time interval or from facilitating the clearance process. For the study quantitative data source were used. Primary data were collected through questionnaires & interviews. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The findings of the study suggested that the Custom clearing challenges had significant impact on the Customs Clearing Agents' performance. Custom automation system, human resource, risk management and harmonized system had significant impact on the performance of the Customs Clearing Agent whereas valuation system & cooperation among Customs and other related agencies had insignificant impact on the performance of Customs Clearing Agent. The data analysis indicates that there are challenges on Custom clearing process due to these clearance is not facilitated and hence delay in delivery of shipments so that performance of agents decrease on time bases. The study recommended that the improvement on the Customs automation system, human resource, risk management and harmonized system will improve the Customs clearing process and this will lead to minimize the delay and also performance of agents will increase. In addition to this the study will use as a base for further related studies

description: A uniform approach is introduced to study the existence of measure valued solutions to the homogeneous Boltzmann equation for both hard potential with finite energy, and soft potential with finite or infinite energy, by using Toscani metric. Under the non-angular cutoff assumption on the cross-section, the solutions obtained are shown to be in the Schwartz space in the velocity variable as long as the initial data is not a single Dirac mass without any extra moment condition for hard potential, and with the boundedness on moments of any order for soft potential.

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: In this work, we have investigated the domain wall (DW) depinning behavior in the notched nanowire by a micromagnetic simulation. A transverse domain wall (TW) was initially positioned at the center of notch and 1 ns length current pulse was applied to depin the DW with respect to the notch size s and the wire width variation. We have observed the depinning current density Jd which was a minimum current to escape DW from the notch. It was found that the depinning current density decreased as the wire width and the notch size increased. In the depinning process, we observed the inner structure of DW generally transformed from TW to anti-vortex wall (AVW). Interestingly, for the case of s less than 70 nm, AVW formed and depinned closely to the period when current pulse was active, while for s larger than 70 nm, AVW formed until the current pulse went to zero and then depinned after flipped TW was formed. It can be explained that the transformation of DW inner structures were affected by the spin torque energy and contributed to DW depinning behavior from the notched nanowires.

description: The canonical energy-momentum tensor is often considered as a purely academic object because of its gauge dependence. However, it has recently been realized that canonical quantities can in fact be defined in a gauge-invariant way provided that strict locality is abandoned, the non-local aspect being dictacted in high-energy physics by the factorization theorems. Using the general techniques for the parametrization of non-local parton correlators, we provide for the first time a complete parametrization of the energy-momentum tensor (generalizing the purely local parametrizations of Ji and Bakker-Leader-Trueman used for the kinetic energy-momentum tensor) and identify explicitly the parts accessible from measurable two-parton distribution functions (TMDs and GPDs). As by-products, we confirm the absence of model-independent relations between TMDs and parton orbital angular momentum, recover in a much simpler way the Burkardt sum rule and derive three similar new sum rules expressing the conservation of transverse momentum.

description: We consider the Universe at the late stage of its evolution and deep inside the cell of uniformity. At such scales, the Universe is highly inhomogeneous and is filled with inhomogeneities in the form of galaxies and the groups of galaxies. We also suggest that the Universe is filled with a perfect fluid, and its fluctuations have peculiar velocities of the same (non-relativistic) order of magnitude as for the inhomogeneities. In this sense, the inhomogeneities (e.g. galaxies) and fluctuations of perfect fluids are coupled with each other. We clarify some important points of this approach and present a brief review of previous studies (e.g. CPL model and Chaplygin gas). We demonstrate that considered perfect fluids which satisfy our approach are really coupled to galaxies concentrating around them. The averaged (over the whole Universe) value of their fluctuations is equal to zero.

description: To enable high penetration of PV and wind turbines sustainably in the grid, we present that the scaling of a physics-based PV simulation framework and its coupling with weather modelling, populations statistics and grid modelling provide unprecedented accuracy in scenario development and balancing studies. In this paper, a methodology to compute the spatio-temporal distribution of the Belgian PV power production using a coupled electrical, optical and thermal PV modelling framework is motivated, explained and validated. A validation of our methodology at both single power plant and country scales report yearly energy yield accuracy between 5 to 15%. The proposed methodology to simulate PV production can now be used to map PV potential at a higher temporal and spatial resolution, and investigate how to balance optimal placement of PV for maximum generation, immediate consumption and reduction of the need for non-intermittent generation at the country level.
Corporate social responsibility and community development : a study of Nigerian telecommunications industry

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study sets out to investigate the extent to which embracing corporate social responsibilities (CSR) within the telecommunications industry has contributed to the development of the Nigerian community using a comparative case study of four telecommunications companies in Nigeria, and covering the period 2008 to 2012. The study also investigated the CSR expectations of Nigerians most of whom patronize at least one of the case study companies and the motivations for CSR engagements of the case study telecommunications companies. The study adopted the use of qualitative research approach while the philosophical consideration that guided the research adopted subjectivist ontology and interpretivists epistemology which was informed by social constructivism. The data used came from primary and secondary sources. The study employed a semi-structured interview instrument to gather data from the study companies and beneficiary communities using snowball sampling technique to determine the beneficiary communities. The study employed the use of content analysis method to analyse the data and identified the relationship between what the CSR contributions of the case study telecommunications companies are to the development of the communities where the companies operate. This is complemented with documentary analysis of the telecommunications companies’ annual accounts. Key concepts that emerged from the research findings are educational development, health care provision, economic empowerment, poverty alleviation and sports development. The research findings suggest that CSR practices of the telecommunications industry in Nigeria tilted towards corporate philanthropy. The findings also indicates that some of the CSR projects undertaken by the study telecommunications companies may not 2 be the essential needs of the community, therefore there is need to conduct prior stakeholder engagement with community in order to determine the needs of the community before implementation of CSR programmes. The thesis concluded by drawing attention to the reciprocal responsibility of the CSR benefiting communities by way of giving social licence for continued operations of the telecommunications companies in their community of operations.
title: The Women Behind the Moves:  A Phenomenological Study of Video Models

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: This research studied three women who have performed in hip hop music videos.  Previous literature concerning these women, including memoirs, men’s magazine interviews, and Black feminist scholarship, has situated them as video vixens, terminology that all three participants disputed applied to them.  The research was completed in two parts—a face-to-face phenomenological interview and a semi-structured telephone interview.  In the phenomenological interview, the initial question—what are your experiences as a woman who dances/models in music videos?—was posed.  The answers ranged from musings about professionalism and the lack thereof in the industry to the politics of skin color and nationality.  The semi-structured interview allowed the participants to clarify or expound on experiences they discussed during the first interview.

description: This study investigates the factors that affect utilization of agency banking in Ethiopian commercial banks. Descriptive research design and quantitative research approach are adopted. Primary data are collected using questionnaire from four purposively selected commercial banks in Ethiopia; Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, Dashen Bank, United Bank and Lion International Bank. Thus the researcher takes all 78 staffs working in agency banking department of four banks via purposive sampling technique. Multiple regression analysis is used to analysis the data. The study found that all independent variables (Regulation, Telecom, Security and Training) have positive and significant impact on Agency Banking Utilization at 5% level of confidence. The researcher recommended banks to consider the four dimensions (regulation, telecom, security and training) are the major factors that affecting agency banking utilization and should take vital measures in order to exploit the benefit of agency banking. Government also should support banks by assist sufficient telecom infrastructure and issue feasible legal frameworks to facilitate the operation and utilization of agency banking.

description: In this work we perform an analysis of the energy communities as forms of collective self-consumption. We have created a program which is combined with a genetic algorithm to perform a multi-objective optimization (MOO) of an EC. The decision variables of the optimization are the PV and the battery investments of each EC member and the adopted business model. The optimization aims at (i) maximizing the cost savings thanks to the EC, (ii) minimizing the percentage of fossil fuel production and (iii) minimizing the value of a Fairness Index which measures the fairness of the benefit distribution. The novelty of this work consists in focusing at the same time on the global benefit for the entire energy community and the profit of each participant of the EC, which do not always progress at the same time. EC benefits are not only economic, therefore this work also focuses on encouraging renewable energy consumption, by minimizing fossil fuel production purchased from the grid. A scenario which is convenient from an economic and environmental perspective is not always applicable if it doesn’t guarantee savings for all the EC members; almost 74% of RES consumption can be achieved while ensuring global satisfaction.

description: This work assesses the interlinkages between environmental impacts, technological innovation and policy approaches for the case of photovoltaic products (modules, inverters and systems). The evaluation of the feasibility of applying four EU policy instruments (Ecodesign Directive, Energy Labelling, Green Public Procurement and the EU Ecolabel) to photovoltaic products led to the identification of key performance metrics and design features. Starting from an analysis of the environmental hotspots of photovoltaic products throughout the whole life cycle (from raw material extraction to their end of life and disposal), a number of areas of attention for innovation, and related policy approaches (by means, in particular, of requirements within the legal framework of the Ecodesign Directive), are identified and discussed. Quantified results (based in particular on the Gross Energy Requirement) highlight the environmental benefits that could be associated with specific designs and/or technological solutions.

description: The adoption of a photovoltaic system has positive environmental effects, but the main driver of the choice in the industrial and commercial sector is economic profitability. Switching from acquisition of energy to production of energy is an investment with costs (e.g. leasing annual payment, O&M costs, capital expenditure) and benefits (e.g. savings in the electric bill, sale of the energy exceeding consumptions). In this work, we use an accounting-and-finance model to calculate the Equity Net Present Value in different scenarios and a sensitivity-analysis method (Finite Change Sensitivity Index) to explain the reasons for differences in results. This technique enables identifying the contribution of any input factor in the output value variation. In this way, the investor can draw attention on the most significant critical variables in the initial estimations to ensure success in forecasting.

Assessment Of Integrated Pharmaceutical Logistics System Implementation In Black Lion Hospital
Creators: name: Sisay, Amare
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: BACKGROUND: IPLS is a term applied to the single system for reporting and distribution pharmaceutical items based on the overall mandate and scope of the PFSA. This system aims to provide patients pharmaceuticals they need. In order for this system to be successful, it must fulfil all the six rights of supply chain management which are ensuring right type of item, of the right quality, in the right quantity, at the right place, at the right time and with the right cost. At a facility level, IPLS incorporates all the three logistic functions which are Logistic Management Information System, Inventory Control System, and Storage System of pharmaceuticals. OBJECTIVES: To assess implementation of Integrated Pharmaceutical Logistics System in Black Lion Hospital METHODS AND MATERIALS: An explanatory descriptive approach was used in the study whereby the LMIS, the inventory control system and the storage system of the hospital was assessed and examined against the requirements and standards of IPLS. Purposive sampling technique was used to collect data. In addition, check lists, interview guides & observations were some of the tools used in the data collection process. RESULT: Detail results pertaining to major indicators of IPLS implementation such as availability & proper use of LMIS, LMIS data quality, training and supervision on logistics management, stock availability, availability of expired items, fulfillment of acceptable storage conditions for ARV drugs store room, resupply period, order fill rate, emergency order trends and major challenges on IPLS implementation are described and presented in the result section of this paper. CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION: With respect to some measurements such as availability of LMIS tools, supervision and training, availability of drugs, resupply period, emergency order trend, the effort towards IPLS implementation in the Hospital is encouraging. But much gap is observed in some other measurements such as in proper utilization of LMIS tools, LMIS data quality, and perceived order fill rate and storage conditions which leads to an overall conclusion that IPLS is not being implemented in the Hospital in full scale. In order to bring improvements, among other things, there should be regular supportive supervision and continuous trainings, in placing consistent monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, enforcing strict adherence to the IPLS SOP procedures and standards, and increased commitment of top management
Spatio-spectral concentration of convolutions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Differential equations may possess coefficients that vary on a spectrum of scales. Because coefficients are typically multiplicative in real space, they turn into convolution operators in spectral space, mixing all wavenumbers. However, in many applications, only the largest scales of the solution are of interest and so the question turns to whether it is possible to build effective coarse-scale models of the coefficients in such a manner that the large scales of the solution are left intact. Here we apply the method of numerical homogenization to deterministic linear equations to generate sub-grid-scale models of coefficients at desired frequency cutoffs. We use the Fourier basis to project, filter and compute correctors for the coefficients. The method is tested in 1D and 2D scenarios and found to reproduce the coarse scales of the solution to varying degrees of accuracy depending on the cutoff. We relate this method to mode-elimination Renormalization Group (RG) and discuss the connection between accuracy and the cutoff wavenumber. The tradeoff is governed by a form of the uncertainty principle for convolutions, which states that as the convolution operator is squeezed in the spectral domain, it broadens in real space. As a consequence, basis sparsity is a high virtue and the choice of the basis can be critical.

description: As is the case with many countries, Switzerland is facing a tough challenge: it has to replace nuclear power and to decarbonize its entire economic system. This transformation will need much more electricity. By 2050, Switzerland will need around twice the electrical energy than its existing hydropower can deliver. Since wind power has a modest potential in Switzerland, the only practical possibility is to scale-up PV by 25x. Therefore, the country faces a huge investment in its power generation; this, besides insulating buildings and transforming the transport sector. Roger Nordmann has developed a complete plan to implement such a PV expansion at the national level, including management of the electrical network. His plan is now shifting the political lines toward a much more PV-friendly attitude for politics and business. This speech discusses the key features of this plan. Some aspects of the plan – for instance, the interaction with the existing important hydro power storage – are specific to Switzerland. Other aspects, such as peak-shaving and the political narrative, are relevant and can be applied in other countries. Thanks to his long political experience and his expertise in the energy field, he constructed his “solar plan” based on a logic which can be accepted and endorsed by the established electricity sector. He presents a method of systemic policy ant politics perspective.

 systems in the last two decades. In this invited talk, I will present some of the most relevant studies performed
 using INTEGRAL data for this type of systems, taking as a baseline the extended review paper of Kretschmar
 et al. (2019). The most significant studies include: population studies performed thanks to the mission all-sky
 surveys; the discovery of many of the most interesting sources; and a few unexpected results for the different
 classes of HMXRB. To conclude the talk, I will briefly mention some future facilities in the high-energy domain
 that could contribute to solving some of the open questions addressed by INTEGRAL studies.

description: The rapid decrease of photovoltaic system costs enables the potential of agrivoltaic systems. These dual-land use systems mitigate land-use conflicts for places with limited open space and show the potential for added value in crop and livestock cultivation. However, many different names and interacting possibilities between agriculture and PV can be found. This makes it difficult and confusing for stakeholders to compare and benchmark existing installations as well as propose and set new (EU) legislation schemes. This work proposes a standardized classification of agrivoltaic systems, which is usable worldwide. The classification is based on the application, system, farming type, PV structure and flexibility and is able to categorize each existing agrivoltaic installation properly. Seven key performance indicators for agrivoltaic systems are suggested and discussed.

description: So far, PV has contributed to CO2 mitigation only marginally. To contribute its share to enacting the Paris Climate Agreement as a backbone of the energy transition, PV must grow with a compound annual-growth rate (CAGR) of at least 18% in the next 10 years. If PV grows slowlier, high growth rates will be necessary in about 15 years’ time when manufacturing capacity is big: every year by the size of today’s PV industry. This would be a difficult task to achieve. Growing by 18% for the next 10 years is therefore necessary and requires additional effort. We recently collected data about capital expenditure for production expansion in the entire value chain from silicon distillation to module assembly. In our 18% growth scenario, the required capex will be about 400 billion RMB in total over the next 10 years. This is about 58 billion US$ or about 49 billion €. Just a few big investors can secure a large market share, and we therefore expect that upscaling the PV manufacturing capacities will not be the bottleneck in enacting the Paris Climate Agreement. We show by considering the origins of past progress that mainstream PV needs continuing contributions from research laboratories around the world. For this reason, we outline seven urgent R&D topics that help enacting the Paris Climate Agreement directly.

description: In a previous work, we introduced a tool for analyzing multiple datasets simultaneously, which has been implemented into ISIS. This tool was used to fit many spectra of X-ray binaries. However, the large number of degrees of freedom and individual datasets raise an issue about a good measure for a simultaneous fit quality. We present three ways to check the goodness of these fits: we investigate the goodness of each fit in all datasets, we define a combined goodness exploiting the logical structure of a simultaneous fit, and we stack the fit residuals of all datasets to detect weak features. These tools are applied to all RXTE-spectra from GRO 1008-57, revealing calibration features that are not detected significantly in any single spectrum. Stacking the residuals from the best-fit model for the Vela X-1 and XTE J1859+083 data evidences fluorescent emission lines that would have gone undetected otherwise.

description: Electricity markets in Europe are changing in response to the implications of the ongoing energy transition from centralized to decentralized and renewable energy supply. The European Commission has put focus on enlarging the role of prosumers, i.e. consumers that also generate electricity using photovoltaic systems. In response to that, we have investigated innovative self-consumption and aggregation concepts and business models for prosumers that will help integrating sustainable and competitive electricity from PV in the electricity system. We here report on the effect of prosumerism on electricity costs and greenhouse gas emission reduction in eight different countries: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. Next, the implications for changes in the electricity grid have been discussed with relevant stakeholders, including distribution grid operators. Recommendations and policy advise to EU and member states are derived and presented here.

description: The purpose of this study was to assess the vehicle disposal method (end-of-life vehicles) in the case of defense vehicles administration service department .For this purpose a sample of 20managers and 122employees' respondents were drawn through simple random sampling technique. Self administrative questionnaires and document analysis were used to gather data. Data obtained through questionnaire has been analyzed with descriptive statics (mean and frequency). The study revealed that the method of disposing unused vehicles in defense vehicle administration hasn't simple and clear method of dispose vehicles. Findings indicated that the majority of the respondents were acknowledging the practice of vehicle disposal conducted by DVAS. Disposal of vehicles without techniques, directive and scientific method However, there were challenges and limitations. Inadequate training for employees, insufficient store, and lack of knowledge to dispose unused vehicles were some of the major problems of disposing vehicles. The study concluded that the organization should using techniques Therefore, it has been recommended that vehicle administration service shall be use techniques to dispose unused vehicles shall be planned and designed systematically in order to address these constraints. It is also important the courses shall be delivered based on the managers and employees educational level. Thus, it has been recommended that the training and development need assessment need to be properly conducted and training policy, guide line, manuals, producers and structures shall be developed in order to conduct effective unused vehicles disposal. Generally, the study suggested that the method of disposing unused vehicles have to be strategic and systematic in order to achieve the desired objectives.

description: In this paper, we share findings on experimental data on a Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) system test-bed installed in 2014 in Sihwa lake and Energy Cluster [1]. In our effort to upgrade the test-bed to marine –readiness, improvements were made and documented in three development stages. We previously report work on a marine FPV module performance [2], so more emphasis is given to mecAhanical rather than electrical analysis. Repetitive wave motion-effect were detrimental to the system’s mechanical integrity, causing dislocation of FPV structure joints as is reported in stage . In Stage , based on finite element (FE) results, changes are made on both FPV structure type and buoyancy body optimized. In stage , a flexible unit-to-unit interconnecting device was introduced to increase inter-unit flexibility in wave conditions. In the final Stage , we briefly report on future plans to install test-beds in several marine environments with the goal of preparing for eventual commercialization of a reliable Marine FPV system off-shore conditions.

description: The dominating solar cell technology for PV power plants is the Si based solar cell. However, solar cell technologies such as chalcogenide, organic, III-V or perovskite solar cells, all have their own niche markets or potentials. The aim of this work is to provide an overview and comparison of the different solar cell technologies for the application in integrated photovoltaics. The current statuses of the technologies are reviewed. Characteristics relevant for integrated photovoltaics are defined and each technology is discussed regarding those key influencing factors. The results of the comparison are compiled in a concise table summarizing strengths and weaknesses of the different technologies in respect of their application for integrated photovoltaics.

description: This paper introduces a recently initiated Italian national project on high innovative PV greenhouses considering different scales of experimentation as well as an interdisciplinary approach involving experts in different areas. At small scale, the light transmittance of spectrally selective solar cells devices, which focus different wavelengths on PV modules and plants, will be analyzed in order to obtain the best compromise between electricity production and photosynthesis. At medium and large scale, two greenhouses will be tested: (i) An experimental greenhouse (about 15 m2) equipped with different IoT sensors and innovative PV glasses technologies will monitor the growing environment together the energy production. (ii) Based on the results obtained in the medium scale greenhouse, some PV glasses will be used as envelope material for the renovation of a commercial-size greenhouse (about 100 m2). Both PV greenhouses will be located in a historic environment dating back to the XVIII century, the Botanical garden of Portici, which requires a careful approach to a correct integration with the landscape. Along the two years of the duration of the project is foreseen to finding the best compromise between functional characteristics (energy and food) and aesthetic ones, thus optimizing the integrated system showing the potential of innovative glasses for greenhouses.

description: Details about Portuguese PV stations are scarce: no public access is provided to project files and environmental impact assessments (EIA) - public-domain information - are mandatory only for power plants of 50 MW or higher capacity, a small minority. In our research, we measured the land use intensity (LUI) of utility-scale PV power plants in continental Portugal and estimated their future land occupation from the capacity additions forecast by the government and from the expected future improvements in LUI due to the increase in PV panel efficiency. A novel method, with land occupation depending simultaneously on the evolution of capacity and panel efficiency, was developed for the purpose. We found 3.336 ha/MW for the average LUI of all stations in operation in continental Portugal, with the LUI varying with mounting type. For land occupation by PV plants in 2050 we found large areas albeit small when compared with other land cover types, e.g. 30 000 hectares would be 1.3% and 0.9% of the current areas dedicated to agriculture and forestry, respectively. However, with EIAs required only for large stations there will be opportunities for land-use conflicts and deep landscape alterations.

description: The new European directives focused to achieve public Net-Zero Energy Buildings require for their application the knowledge of the potential of photovoltaics (PV) generation of these buildings. The available building surfaces (façades and roofs) for PV integration depend on the building’s location and orientation, and relative position of the nearby buildings and elements. This work developed a technical procedure to determine the available surface for PV integration, the economic and energetic viability of the PV facilities, and their contribution of the energy consumption of the buildings through a case study. The current design has a potential benefit of 0,17 million of euros. Its greenhouse gas emissions are 0.27–0.92 Ton, ten times smaller than a production obtained through the traditional fuels (6–8.47 Ton), which are commonly used in Spain.
