description: The present studies consider the influence of exclusion on aggressive behavior depending on the target of the aggression and the gender of the aggressor. Previous studies have shown that after exclusion, aggressive behavior occurs toward the excluder as well as toward innocent bystanders. However, there is also evidence that men have a greater tendency toward direct aggression and women have a greater tendency toward displaced aggression. In Studies 1 (N = 89) and 2 (N = 120), participants were ostracized, in Studies 3 (N = 88) and 4 (N = 133), participants were rejected. Then, aggressive behavior toward the excluder or bystander was measured. The results confirmed the gender differences hypothesis, but only in the case of ostracism. After ostracism, more retaliatory aggression was observed in men, and more displaced aggression was noted in women. Rejection resulted in generalized aggressive behavior directed toward the excluder and the bystander in men and women. The results are discussed in light of Sexual Selection Theory.

description: We study the generation of strong large scale magnetic fields in dense quark matter. The magnetic field growth is owing to the magnetic field instability driven by the electroweak interaction of quarks. We discuss the situation when the chiral symmetry is unbroken in the degenerate quark matter. In this case we predict the amplification of the seed magnetic field $10^{12}\,\text{G}$ to the strengths $(10^{14}-10^{15})\,\text{G}$. In our analysis we use the typical parameters of the quark matter in the core of a hybrid star or in a quark star. We also discuss the application of the obtained results to describe the magnetic fields generation in magnetars.

description: The effects of metallicity on the evolution of protoplanetary disks may be studied in the outer Galaxy where the metallicity is lower than in the solar neighbourhood. We present the VLT/KMOS integral field spectroscopy in the near-infrared of $\sim$120 candidate young stellar objects (YSOs) in the CMa-$\ell$224 star-forming region located at a Galactocentric distance of 9.1 kpc. We characterise the YSO accretion luminosities and accretion rates using the hydrogen Br$γ$ emission and find the median accretion luminosity of $\log{(L_{\rm acc})} = -0.82^{+0.80}_{-0.82} L_\odot$. Based on the measured accretion luminosities, we investigate the hypothesis of star formation history in the CMa-$\ell$224. Their median values suggest that Cluster C, where most of YSO candidates have been identified, might be the most evolved part of the region. The accretion luminosities are similar to those observed toward low-mass YSOs in the Perseus and Orion molecular clouds, and do not reveal the impact of lower metallicity. Similar studies in other outer Galaxy clouds covering a wide range of metallicities are critical to gain a complete picture of star formation in the Galaxy.

Polarization

description: This report is designed to be a foundation study for the upcoming dissertation project. The full project argues that increased polarization leads to increased scandal toleration. Affective polarization prompts voters to make biased decisions, including ignoring bad behaviors of candidates from the party they support to keep them in power; scandals can be tolerated because beating the other party is more important. This project proposes using scandal toleration as an indicator of consequences caused by affective polarization. Using scandal cases in the U.S. Congress from 1979-2018, this project shows that adverse effects created by scandals are mitigated by polarization. This project uses qualitative and quantitative methods to examine voter and media reactions to scandals over time and argues that affective polarization is the cause of diminishing scandal effects. This project concludes that scandal toleration is a vital warning sign of affective polarization eroding accountability and democratic mechanisms.

description: Reforms of education systems are generally part of an integrated approach encompassing several political, structural, pedagogical and governance aspects. Furthermore, the management methods of educational systems constitute a field of theoretical and practical reflection of primary importance. In Morocco, since the launch of the emergency program in 2008, project-based management has been adopted as a method of managing the education system. An approach which is part of new public management, aiming to improve performance and guarantee accountability. The present article attempts to answer the question of potential applications of the project approach through changes in the educational policies in Morocco. To this end, we first present the key concepts of our analysis, namely; the system and systemic approaches as well as management and new public management. We subsequently highlight the contribution of the project approach for the educational systems to eventually analyze the implementation of project-based management as a new mode of management in the Moroccan educational system through current strategies and reforms.

description: Erythromycin (ERY) is one of the macrolides used abundantly in veterinary medicines to treat various infections including respiratory, skin and bones. Combination of sulfadiazine (SFD) and trimethoprim (TMP) has proven efficacy and is widely used in the treatment of many infectious diseases, due to the efficiency of SFD as a bactericidal and TMP as a bacteriostatic. On the other hand, those residues of antibiotics like ERY, SFD and TMP in animal tissues may pose health hazards to humans. A simple and cost effective TLC densitometeric method has been developed to analyze the above mentioned drugs in their dosage form and in spiked chicken muscle and liver samples. A mixture of chloroform: methanol: ammonia hydroxide solution (33%, v/v) (8.5:1.5:0.1, by volume) was the developing system. In order to obtain the highest possible sensitivity, the separated bands were exposed to iodine vapors in well closed container for 15 min and then detection was immediately done at 220 nm. Linearity was achieved in the ranges of 0.5–10, 0.1–2 µg/band for ERY and SFD, respectively in both spiked muscle and liver samples while for TMP, linearity was proved over the ranges of 0.1–1.8 µg/band for spiked muscle samples and 0.1–1.6 for spiked liver samples.

description: Curcuma longa (turmeric) rhizomes contains curcumin, an active compound which possesses anti-inflammatory effects. Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is an accepted experimental animal model of rheumatoid arthritis. The present study aimed to observe the histological changes in the joints of experimental arthritic rats treated with curcumin. Twenty four male Sprague-Dawley (approximately 7 weeks-old) rats were randomly divided into four groups. Three groups were immunized with 150 μg collagen. All rats with established CIA, with arthritis scores exceeding 1, were orally treated with betamethasone (0.5 mg/ml/kg body weight), curcumin (110 mg/ml/kg body weight) or olive oil (1.0 ml/kg body weight) daily, for two weeks. One remaining group was kept as normal control. Treatment with 110 mg/ml/kg curcumin showed significant mean differences in the average white blood cell (WBC) count (p<0.05), cell infiltration, bone and cartilage erosion scores (p<0.05) compared to the olive oil treated group. Pannus formation scores showed that curcumin supplementation successfully suppressed the pannus formation process that occurred in the articular cartilage of the CIA joints. The mean difference for histological scores for the curcumin group was insignificant compared to the betamethasone treated group. It is concluded that supplementation of curcumin has protective effect on the histopathological and degenerative changes in the joints of CIA rats which was at par with betamethasone.

description: LS I +61$^\circ$303 is a rare representative of the gamma-ray binaries with a compact object known to be a pulsar. We report on the periodicity and spectral analysis of this source performed with more than 14 years of Fermi/LAT data. The periodicity of LS I +61$^\circ$303 is strongly energy dependent. Two periods $P_1 = 26.932\pm 0.004 (stat)\pm 0.008 (syst)$ and $P_2 = 26.485 \pm 0.004 (stat)\pm 0.007 (syst)$ are detected only at $E>1$ GeV and at $E<0.3$ GeV correspondingly. Within $1σ$ (stat+syst) the periods are consistent with orbital ($P_2$) and beat orbital/superorbital ($P_1$) periods. We present the orbital light curves of the system in several energy bands and the results of the spectral analysis. We discuss the possible origin of the change in the variability pattern between 0.1 and 1 GeV energy.

Creators: name: Teshome, Fiseha
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The study was aimed to measure the effect of brand equity of Ethiopian assembled cars on purchase intention by utilizing Aaker's customer based brand equity model. Four dimensions (brand awareness, brand association, perceived quality & brand loyality) used in order to conduct the study. Quantitative research design implemented, where descriptive and explanatory research approach was applied. A sample of 387 respondents who has intention for purchase of automobile were selected by a convenience sampling method and data was collected through a survey questionnaire intending to identify respondents purchase intention of assembled automobiles in Ethiopia. The results of correlation analysis demonstrate that all the predictors of purchase intention considered in this study had a positive significant relationship with purchase intentioin as well as within themselves at significance level of 0.01. The results of multiple regression analysis discovered that the three dimensions (brand loyalty, brand association and brand awarness) have a positive & significant influence on purchase intention while the influence of perceived quality on purchase intention was found to be significant but negative. Among independent variables, brand loyalty had the strongest positive significant influence on purchase intention of assembled automobiles followed by brand association & brand awarness. Thus, it recomended to increase brand loyalty first inline with improving confidence of customers to perceive quality of assembled automobiles to be at higher level so that the overall marketing performance to be enhanced positively

In this paper, an alpha-particle inelastic scattering experiment investigating the location of $0^+$ states in $^{28}$Si is reported in an attempt to locate possible cluster states. The results are compared to a semi-microscopic model which shows good agreement with the data, and supports the assignment of a newly discovered $0^+$ state as the band-head of a previously observed superdeformed band in $^{28}$Si

description: Emission characteristics of quantum-dot micropillar lasers (QDMLs) are located at the intersection of nanophotonics and nonlinear dynamics, which provides an ideal platform for studying the optical interface between classical and quantum systems. In this work, a noise-induced bimodal QDML with orthogonal dual-mode outputs is modeled, and nonlinear dynamics, stochastic mode jumping and quantum statistics with the variation of stochastic noise intensity are investigated. Noise-induced effects lead to the emergence of two intensity bifurcation points for the strong and the weak mode, and the maximum output power of the strong mode becomes larger as the noise intensity increases. The anti-correlation of the two modes reaches the maximum at the second intensity bifurcation point. The dual-mode stochastic jumping frequency and effective bandwidth can exceed 100 GHz and 30 GHz under the noise-induced effect. Moreover, the noise-induced photon correlations of both modes simultaneously exhibit super-thermal bunching effects ($g^{(2)}(0)>2$) in the low injection current region. The $g^{(2)}(0)$-value of the strong mode can reach over 6 in the high injection current region. Photon bunching ($g^{(2)}(0)>1$) of both modes is observed over a wide range of noise intensities and injection currents. In the presence of the noise-induced effect, the photon number distribution of the strong or the weak mode is a mixture of Bose-Einstein and Poisson distributions. As the noise intensity increases, the photon number distribution of the strong mode is dominated by the Bose-Einstein distribution, and the proportion of the Poisson distribution is increased in the high injection current region, while that of the weak mode is reduced. Our results contribute to the development preparation of super-bunching quantum integrated light sources for improving the spatiotemporal resolution of quantum sensing measurements.

description: Background and aim: Myxoma is the most common type of primary cardiac neoplasm, but the clinical characteristics and long term outcome are less known in the elderly in China. Methods: We analyzed medical records of 112 consecutive patients who underwent operative resection of cardiac myxoma between December 1988 and December 2010 in our hospital. Their data were retrospectively analyzed and the difference between two age groups (< 60 years, n = 87 and ≥ 60 years, n = 25) was compared. Results: The mean age of 112 patients was 48.8 ± 12.5 (range 13 ~ 75) years, and 66 patients (58.9 %) were female. The interval from onset of symptoms to diagnosis was 12 months and the most common presenting symptoms were chest distress (66 patients 58.9 %), followed by palpitations (55 patients, 49.1 %) and dyspnea (47 patients, 42.0 %). Mitral valve diastolic murmur was heard in 67 (59.1 %) patients. The tumor was located in the left atrium in 96 (85.8 %) patients. There were no in-hospital death. During follow-up ranged between one and twenty-one (7.3 ± 5.3) years, there was no malignancy. Myxoma recurred in 3 (2.7 %) patients and deaths occurred in 5 (4.5 %) patients. The 5 and 15 years survival was 97.8 % and 89.5 %, respectively. To compare with the younger patients, the elderly have higher ratios of concomitant hypertension, fewer complaints of dyspnea and chest distress (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The elderly have lower complaints of dyspnea and chest distress, surgical treatment is associated with low long-term mortality and recurrence rate even in the elder patients.

description: Most stars form in multiple star systems. For a better understanding of their formation processes, it is important to resolve the individual protostellar components and the surrounding envelope and disk material at the earliest possible formation epoch because the formation history can be lost in a few orbital timescales. Here we present the ALMA observational results of a young multiple protostellar system, IRAS 04239+2436, where three well-developed large spiral arms were detected in the shocked SO emission. Along the most conspicuous arm, the accretion streamer was also detected in the SO$_2$ emission. The observational results are complemented by numerical magneto-hydrodynamic simulations, where those large arms only appear in magnetically weakened clouds. The numerical simulations also suggest that the large triple spiral arms are the result of gravitational interactions between compact triple protostars and the turbulent infalling envelope.

description: Hydrophilic molecularly imprinted chitosan microspheres (HMICS) were synthesized using deep eutectic solvents (DESs)-(3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) as co-functional monomer for the extraction of catechin from green tea with micro-solid phase extraction (micro-SPE). Various factors were studied to optimize the extraction condition during extraction process. The actual extraction amount under the optimal conditions (amount of adsorbent (20 mg), type and volume of washing (acetone, 1.2 mL) and eluting solvent (acetone/acetic acid, 1.0 mL), extraction time (30 min), extraction temperature (40 °C), and sample pH (4)) were obtained at 97.06 mg·g−1. The catechin recovery ranged with ranged with limit of detection (LOD) within 0.09–0.24 µg·mL−1, and limit of quantification (LOQ) within 0.18–0.28 µg·mL−1. From the experimental results in this system, the HMICS was proved to have higher extraction capacity, improving as a promising adsorbent for the extraction of catechin.

description: Continuing with our analysis of parton distributions in the nucleon, we extend our light-front quark model in order to obtain both the helicity independent and helicity dependent parton distributions, analytically matching the results of global fits at the initial scale $μ\sim 1$ GeV, and which also contain the correct Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi evolution. We also calculate the transverse parton, Wigner and Husimi distributions from a unified point of view, using our light-front wave functions and expressing them in terms of the parton distributions $q_v(x)$ and $δq_v(x)$. Our results are very relevant for the current and future program of the COMPASS experiment at SPS (CERN).

description: Abstract This dissertation focuses on the perceptions of risk kids face online among the school children and educators of a technical college in the Philippines as basis in the development of a school communications strategy on e-safety. Various literature pertaining to risks kids face online, adolescent development, screen based media use (SBMU) as well as the theories of sense-making, gratification, and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) formed the development of this research. Both the school children's and the educators' definition and identification of online risks on the areas of contact, content, conduct (Livingstone and Haddon, 2009a) and consumption (researcher's contribution) were assessed and compared using the triangulation method, combining both the advantages of the qualitative (FGD) and quantitative (survey questionnaires) approach of this paper. The findings put in detail the research samples' similarities and differences in knowledge-perceptions and feelingsperceptions on risky online experiences of kids. The results revealed that there is a general concurrence about what school children and educators know about the variety of online risks kids face in SBMU. Both define online risk as something generally "dangerous and harmful". In fact, the study shows that school children have higher perceptions of risky online experiences of kids than the educators. However, they differ in the ordering of online risky activities. The final analysis suggests that school children know their information communication technologies and the pluses and minuses that go with them but may not have the necessary experience to control consumption. On the other hand, the educators, largely millennials in this study, know that kids have the capacity to navigate most of the risks. But they also remain concerned about the evolving nature of online risks that present new encounters the educators themselves have never experienced before. The study provides initial insights for educators in coming up with an e-safety communications strategy to address the growing number and variety of risks kids face in their navigation of the online world.

description: Experimental studies show that detrimental effects of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury can be attenuated by hyperoxic preconditioning in normal hearts, however, there are few studies about hyperoxia effects in diseased myocardium. The present study was designed to assess the cardioprotective effects of hyperoxia pretreatment (≥ 95 % O2) in acute diabetic rat hearts. Normal and one week acute diabetic rats were either exposed to 60 (H60) and 180 (H180) min of hyperoxia or exposed to normal atmospheric air (21 % O2). Then hearts were isolated immediately and subjected to 30 min of regional ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Infarct size, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, enzymes release and ischemia induced arrhythmias were determined. Heart of diabetic control rats had less infarct size and decreased LDH and CK-MB release compared to normal hearts. 60 and 180 min of hyperoxia reduced myocardial infarct size and enzymes release in normal hearts. 180 min of hyperoxia also decreased cardiomyocytes apoptosis in normal state. On the other hand, protective values of hyperoxia were not significantly different in diabetic hearts. Moreover, hyperoxia reduced severity of ventricular arrhythmias in normal rat hearts whereas; it did not confer any additional antiarrhythmic protection in diabetic hearts. These findings suggest that diabetic hearts are less susceptible to ischemia-induced arrhythmias and infarction. Hyperoxia greatly protects rat hearts against I/R injury in normal hearts, however, it could not provide added cardioprotective effects in acute phase of diabetes.

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Protoplanetary disks (PPDs) accrete onto their central T Tauri star via magnetic stresses. When the effect of ambipolar diffusion (AD) is included, and in the presence of a vertical magnetic field, the disk remains laminar between 1-5 au, and a magnetocentrifugal disk wind forms that provides an important mechanism for removing angular momentum. We present global MHD simulations of PPDs that include Ohmic resistivity and AD, where the time-dependent gas-phase electron and ion fractions are computed under FUV and X-ray ionization with a simplified recombination chemistry. To investigate whether the mass loading of the wind is potentially affected by the limited vertical extent of our existing simulations, we attempt to develop a model of a realistic disk atmosphere. To this end, by accounting for stellar irradiation and diffuse reprocessing of radiation, we aim at improving our models towards more realistic thermodynamic properties.

Art

description: This master’s report is an exploration of accessibility through the lens of artists and museums. The following tenets were foundational to the research: art is necessary to the health of people and communities; it is a social gauge to understand the past and present; all work done in accessibility and for the disabled community must be led by their own voices – “nothing about us without us.” Through two rounds of interviews and a literature review spanning the fall and spring semesters, a surprising discrepancy was uncovered: the extensive accessibility work being done in museums was antithetical to artists’ perceptions of and experience with accessibility, who reported having no to little exposure in their schooling and within exhibitions spaces. Future research will include interviews with museum curators, artists with disabilities, and art granting institutions as well building accessible, and multisensorial art instillations, in my own art practice.

description: In this article we consider a question: what is the relation between two Calabi-Yau manifolds of two different Berglund--Hubsch types if they appear as hyper--surfaces in the quotient of the same weighted projective space. We show that that these manifolds are connected by a special change of coordinates, which we call the resonance transformation.

description: We introduce a scheme to reconstruct an arbitrary quantum state of a mechanical oscillator network. We assume that a single element of the network is coupled to a cavity field via a linearized optomechanical interaction, whose time dependence is controlled by a classical driving field. By designing a suitable interaction profile, we show how the statistics of an arbitrary mechanical quadrature can be encoded in the cavity field, which can then be measured. We discuss the important special case of Gaussian state reconstruction, and study numerically the effectiveness of our scheme for a finite number of measurements. Finally, we speculate on possible routes to extend our ideas to the regime of single-photon optomechanics.

description: The idea of satisfied employees for the benefit of satisfied customers is developed through the concept of internal marketing. This research paper was conducted to examine the effect of internal marketing on customers perceived service quality in Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Revenue. The target populations of the study were customers and employees of Ministry of Revenue. The study targets 384 samples of customers based on their convenience and easiness to determine customer service quality they receive from Federal Ministry Revenue. The selected 345 frontline staffs were selected from 4 branches of Addis Ababa randomly to obtain there evaluation of the Federal Ministry of Revenue internal marketing practice. The most commonly used dimensions of internal marketing were identified and used to attest its effect on customers perceived service quality through job satisfaction. The descriptive analysis of the finding dictates that there is lack of adequate employee training & development, employee motivation, internal communication and employee empowerment. From the study finding, the Pearson correlation coefficient of internal marketing variables shows that there is a strong positive correlation between IM variables and job satisfaction and perceived service quality. In addition to correlation analysis, further regression analysis was conducted to examine the effect of internal marketing on customers perceived service quality. The result indicates that the selected dimensions of internal marketing have significant relation with job satisfaction where job satisfaction has significant effect on customers perceived service quality as well. Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Revenue is recommended to fully implement internal marketing practices to increase employees' job satisfaction and to have a positive effect on its customers perceived service quality.

description: In the framework of the signal processing approach to single-atom resonance fluorescence with spectral resolution, we diagrammatically derive an analytical formula for arbitrary-order spectral correlation functions of the scattered fields that pass through Fabry-Perot interferometers. Our general expression is then applied to study correlation signals in the limit of well separated spectral lines of the resonance fluorescence spectrum. In particular, we study the normalized second-order temporal intensity correlation functions in the case of the interferometers tuned to the components of the spectrum and obtain interferential corrections to the approximate results derived in the secular limit. In addition, we explore purely spectral correlations and show that they can fully be understood in terms of the two-photon cascades down the dressed state ladder.

Year: 2018

description: The primary objective of this study was to analyze the effects of advertising on consumers' buying preference of TECNO Mobile in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A quantitative approach was used in this research. In order to collect primary data, a structured questionnaire was prepared and given to the customers of TECNO Mobile using a convenience sampling technique. Out of the distributed 403 questionnaires, 362 were valid and SPSS software was used to process the primary data. To measure the effect of advertising on consumers' buying preference, the source factor, the message factor and the channel factor of advertising were considered. From the findings of this study, it was found out that the source factor, the message factor and the channel factor of advertising have positive and significant effects of up to 57.7% on the consumers' buying preference. The result further indicated that the channel factor has the highest positive and significant effect on consumers' buying preference. This implies that marketing managers need to give more emphasis and due attention to all the three variables since they influence consumers' buying preference significantly, so that the company could increase its market share and stay in the market competitively.

description: Bussysteme werden im Kfz teilweise für sicherheitskritische Anwendungen eingesetzt. Gleichzeitig sind die potentiellen Störungen der Signale im Kfz besonders groß. Signale auf dicht benachbarten Kabeln erzeugen störende elektromagnetische Felder, und auch in der Umgebung des Kfz finden sich vielfältige Störmöglichkeiten. Daher besteht die Notwendigkeit der Analyse der EMV und der Signalintegrität der Kfz-Bussysteme. Simulationen können hierzu ein geeignetes Hilfsmittel sein, wenn leistungsfähige Modelle vorhanden sind. In dieser Arbeit werden geeignete Modelle für Simulationen der Signalintegrität und der EMV von Mehrleitersystemen im Zeit- und Frequenzbereich unter Berücksichtigung frequenzabhängiger Verluste und unter Einfluss elektromagnetischer Felder vorgestellt. Mit diesen Modellen können zahlreiche Analysen durchgeführt werden. Hier werden beispielhaft Störungen durch Überkopplung von benachbarten parallelen HV-Kabeln und die Störfestigkeit gegen elektromagnetische Felder für LIN und FlexRay analysiert. Weiterhin werden verschiedene Methoden zur Messung der Leitungsparameter differentieller Bussysteme verglichen und teilweise weiterentwickelt.

description: Many-body perturbation theory is implemented in order to calculate the isotope shifts of $4s$, $4p_{1/2}$, $4p_{3/2}$, $3d_{3/2}$, and $3d_{5/2}$ energy levels of Ca$^+$, for even isotopes $A=$40, 42, 44, 46, 48. The results are presented for mass shift and field shift, as well as for higher-order field shifts, quadratic mass shift, nuclear polarization correction, and the cross term between field and mass shifts. Additionally, we examine King-plot nonlinearities introduced by the higher-order isotope-shift corrections to the combinations of $3d_{3/2}\rightarrow 4s$, $3d_{5/2}\rightarrow 4s$, and $4p_{1/2}\rightarrow 4s$ transitions. For these transitions, second-order mass shift and nuclear polarization correction are identified as the dominant sources of King plot nonlinearity.
