description: Monitoring business projects is very important to ensure project performance goes according to plan. PT Gerbang Sinergi Prima (GSP) is one of the subsidiaries of the Pension Fund of PT PLN (Persero), which is engaged in Information and Communication Technology. Currently, GSP monitors project performance in a conventional way, which creates several challenges, such as difficulties in monitoring project progress and development. This study aims to develop a backend as an admin dashboard for a business project monitoring system using the Scrum method. Unlike other studies, this research also tests the results obtained with three tests, namely Black-Box Testing, Unit Testing, and Performance Testing. As a result, we built a backend admin dashboard for business project monitoring that supports GSP in real-time monitoring the progress of business projects. Furthermore, testing will also be conducted on the backend admin dashboard. The Scrum method was implemented with excellent results. Feature functionality testing using black-box testing gets a percentage of 100%. API testing using unit testing receives a percentage of 100%. The average response time obtained after executing performance testing is 2896.72ms, which means the results are feasible. Overall, the process of development and testing received excellent results.

description: Chronic food insecurity is one of the main problems which affected millions of Ethiopians for centuries. To solve this problem, the government of Ethiopia has been undertaking different programmes. Though large amount of expenditure was outplayed before 2005, it was unable to solve the problem of food insecurity because it was not provided timely and unpredictable. Moreover it has a dependency syndrome. Thus, due to the limitations of the previous measures, currently different programmes were being undertaken under the umbrella of FSP. PSNP was one of these programmes. It has two components i.e. public works and direct support. It was aimed at smoothening consumption and preventing assets from depletion at household level and creating assets at community level. Hence, the general objective of this study was to assess and explore different impacts (both positive and negative) of PSNP on the lives of the beneficiary households in Dera Malo Woreda. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed. The data were gathered from 116 household heads through household survey questionnaires, and from other respondents through key informant interviews and focus group discussion. By employing these instruments it founded that the programme has both positive and negative impacts. The positive impacts were it smoothened and improved food consumption for those who properly used the transfers; it improved household assets and prevented it from depletion at household level; community assets were improved and rehabilitated with little quality and ownership problems; and though the number was small, it reduced the number of chronically poor people. On the other hand, the programme resulted in different unintended results. These were though seasonal, commodities and goods especially food items became expensive and it was difficult to find food items after the payment of the transfer; some work beyond their capacity especially during maintenance of roads and they face shortage of time for their household activities; it sent some wrong messages to have more children initially; discourage hard work to some extent; confusion over who should undertake developmental activities; encourage dependency to some extent, and leads to more debt. Finally, this work forwards some points which will help to maximize the positive impacts and minimize the negative ones of the programme. These are all household members should be included; the transfer should be able to cover the living costs and fair; the beneficiaries should stay in the programme for the stated period; and the payment was better if based on the preference of the households. To minimize the negative impacts, the principles of the programme should be properly applied; awareness giving should be undertaken, changing the cash payment in to different materials if necessary and autonomy for DAs

description: Non-stoquastic Hamiltonians have both positive and negative signs in off-diagonal elements in their matrix representation in the standard computational basis and thus cannot be simulated efficiently by the standard quantum Monte Carlo method due to the sign problem. We describe our analytical studies of this type of Hamiltonians with infinite-range non-random as well as random interactions from the perspective of possible enhancement of the efficiency of quantum annealing or adiabatic quantum computing. It is shown that multi-body transverse interactions like $XX$ and $XXXXX$ with positive coefficients appended to a stoquastic transverse-field Ising model render the Hamiltonian non-stoquastic and reduce a first-order quantum phase transition in the simple transverse-field case to a second-order transition. This implies that the efficiency of quantum annealing is exponentially enhanced, because a first-order transition has an exponentially small energy gap (and therefore exponentially long computation time) whereas a second-order transition has a polynomially decaying gap (polynomial computation time). The examples presented here represent rare instances where strong quantum effects, in the sense that they cannot be efficiently simulated in the standard quantum Monte Carlo, have analytically been shown to exponentially enhance the efficiency of quantum annealing for combinatorial optimization problems.

description: This research aims to design and develop an efficient funding website for Micro, Small,
and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Mataram City using the Simple Additive Weighting
(SAW) method at PT XYZ. The background of the research is based on challenges such
as the manual selection of MSMEs, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors in
calculating scores or values. Additionally, the criteria scores lack a definite average value
for each category, and there is a risk of losing MSME application documents due to
disorganized collection, leading to scattered documents. In this advanced era, many
companies use websites to support their programs, while PT XYZ still lacks such a
platform to support its funding program. Given these challenges, a website is needed to
support the funding program and address existing issues. This research uses a qualitative
approach, collecting data through literature studies, interviews, and observations. The
results of this research show that using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method
yields consistent final values in both manual and program-based tests and enables faster
selection

description: A directed edge polytope $\mathcal{A}_G$ is a lattice polytope arising from root system $A_n$ and a finite directed graph $G$. If every directed edge of $G$ belongs to a directed cycle in $G$, then $\mathcal{A}_G$ is terminal and reflexive, that is, one can associate this polytope to a Gorenstein toric Fano variety $X_G$ with terminal singularities. It is shown by Totaro that a toric Fano variety which is smooth in codimension $2$ and $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial in codimension $3$ is rigid. In the present paper, we classify all directed graphs $G$ such that $X_G$ is a toric Fano variety which is smooth in codimension $2$ and $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial in codimension $3$.

description: PQ-type adjacency polytopes $\nabla^{\rm PQ}_G$ are lattice polytopes arising from finite graphs $G$. There is a connection between $\nabla^{\rm PQ}_G$ and the engineering problem known as power-flow study, which models the balance of electric power on a network of power generation. In particular, the normalized volume of $\nabla^{\rm PQ}_G$ plays a central role. In the present paper, we focus the case where $G$ is a join graph. In fact, formulas of the $h^*$-polynomial and the normalized volume of $\nabla^{\rm PQ}_G$ of a join graph $G$ are presented. Moreover, we give explicit formulas of the $h^*$-polynomial and the normalized volume of $\nabla^{\rm PQ}_G$ when $G$ is a complete multipartite graph or a wheel graph.

description: We describe a framework for reformulating and solving optimization problems that generalizes the well-known framework originally introduced by Benders. We discuss details of the application of the procedures to several classes of optimization problems that fall under the umbrella of multilevel/multistage mixed integer linear optimization problems. The application of this abstract framework to this broad class of problems provides new insights and a broader interpretation of the core ideas, especially as they relate to duality and the value functions of optimization problems that arise in this context.

description: This study was aimed at analyzing factors affecting fuel distribution practices of market follower companies in Ethiopia with specific objectives of examine fuel value chain actors functions, challenges and their relationship along the whole value chain. The data were obtained from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data for this study were collected from 19 market follower oil companies selected purposively. 10 Truck transporters and 15 fuel dealers and 20 consumers selected by using random sampling procedures. MoT fixed profit margin for Oil companies, Truck Transporters and dealers are different according to their value addition activities and these profit margin was assigned before 3 years, due to current the country economic growth and devaluation of Ethiopian currency fuel value chain actors profit margin become very low than previous. It is clear that the oil companies, truck transporters and fuel dealers are not benefiting from the fuel distribution. The whole fuel distribution value chain is governed by EPSE. The result of the multiple regression model indicated that volume of fuel distributed is positively and significantly affected by, utilization of credit, dealers owned gas station, access to market information. Therefore, policies aiming at increasing market follower oil companies improving and increasing credit provider institutions and arranging special kind credit facility, facilitating and improving access land for construction of dealer owned gas station, improving, integrating and easily accessing market information to update fuel value chain actors. Distance from fuel source is negatively and significantly affected thus improving the current road quality and constructing fuel pipeline to reduced transport cost in future are recommended to accelerate the chain's development.

description: Inverse optimization is the problem of determining the values of missing input parameters for an associated forward problem that are closest to given estimates and that will make a given target vector optimal. This study is concerned with the relationship of a particular inverse mixed integer linear optimization problem (MILP) to both the forward problem and the separation problem associated with its feasible region. We show that a decision version of the inverse MILP in which a primal bound is verified is coNP-complete, whereas primal bound verification for the associated forward problem is NP-complete, and that the optimal value verification problems for both the inverse problem and the associated forward problem are complete for the complexity class D^P. We also describe a cutting-plane algorithm for solving inverse MILPs that illustrates the close relationship between the separation problem for the convex hull of solutions to a given MILP and the associated inverse problem. The inverse problem is shown to be equivalent to the separation problem for the radial cone defined by all inequalities that are both valid for the convex hull of solutions to the forward problem and binding at the target vector. Thus, the inverse, forward, and separation problems can be said to be equivalent.

title: Hydraulic Data Analysis Using Python
Creators: name: Schnellbach, Teresa
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: Acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) data is prone to high uncertainty in measurement. In this thesis, technical literature that proposes data analysis methods to reduce error effects is reviewed, and subsequently, three methods are implemented using the programming language Python. The reduction of uncertainty in measurement is evaluated by categorising statistical parameters and analysing time-series and Kolmogorov energy spectra for 160 ADV samples in turbulent flow. The results show that out of the examined data analysis methods, kernel density estimation despiking in combination with lowpass Butterworth filtering is the most promising way to reduce the uncertainty in measurement. Furthermore, a procedure to find the optimal sampling time for ADV measurements is realised. The implementation shows that statistical equivalence testing is adequate for finding the optimum sampling time. Still, the procedure needs further development to provide significance regarding higher statistical moments. Ultimately, a systematic workflow for handling ADV data is proposed.

description: In Statistical Relational Artificial Intelligence, a branch of AI and machine learning which combines the logical and statistical schools of AI, one uses the concept {\em para\-metrized probabilistic graphical model (PPGM)} to model (conditional) dependencies between random variables and to make probabilistic inferences about events on a space of "possible worlds". The set of possible worlds with underlying domain $D$ (a set of objects) can be represented by the set $\mathbf{W}_D$ of all first-order structures (for a suitable signature) with domain $D$. Using a formal logic we can describe events on $\mathbf{W}_D$. By combining a logic and a PPGM we can also define a probability distribution $\mathbb{P}_D$ on $\mathbf{W}_D$ and use it to compute the probability of an event. We consider a logic, denoted $PLA$, with truth values in the unit interval, which uses aggregation functions, such as arithmetic mean, geometric mean, maximum and minimum instead of quantifiers. However we face the problem of computational efficiency and this problem is an obstacle to the wider use of methods from Statistical Relational AI in practical applications. We address this problem by proving that the described probability will, under certain assumptions on the PPGM and the sentence $φ$, converge as the size of $D$ tends to infinity. The convergence result is obtained by showing that every formula $φ(x_1, \ldots, x_k)$ which contains only "admissible" aggregation functions (e.g. arithmetic and geometric mean, max and min) is asymptotically equivalent to a formula $ψ(x_1, \ldots, x_k)$ without aggregation functions.

description: Be stars have generally been characterized by the emission lines in their spectra, and especially the time variability of those spectroscopic features. They are known to also exhibit photometric variability at multiple timescales, but have not been broadly compared and analyzed by that behavior. We have taken advantage of the advent of wide-field, long-baseline, and high-cadence photometric surveys that search for transiting exoplanets to perform a comprehensive analysis of brightness variations among a large number of known Be stars. The photometric data comes from the KELT transit survey, with a typical cadence of 30 minutes, baseline of up to ten years, photometric precision of about 1%, and coverage of about 60% of the sky. We analyze KELT light curves of 610 known Be stars in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres in an effort to study their variability. Consistent with other studies of Be star variability, we find most of the stars to be photometrically variable. We derive lower limits on the fraction of stars in our sample that exhibit features consistent with non-radial pulsations (25%), outbursts (36%), and long term trends in the circumstellar disk (37%), and show how these are correlated with spectral sub-type. Other types of variability, such as those owing to binarity, are also explored. Simultaneous spectroscopy for some of these systems from the Be Star Spectral Database (BeSS) allow us to better understand the physical causes for the observed variability, especially in cases of outbursts and changes in the disk.

description: Organizations, whether they be private, public or NGO, must operate among in cooperation with people. This is especially true within the service sector such as public organizations. This study was to assess human resource development practices and challenges at Ethiopian investment commission. And suggest possible solutions to curb the problems in human resource development practice of the organization. This study employed mixed research method where both qualitative and quantitative data were used in the assessment. The study used both primary and secondary data sources. Survey research design was employed taking a sample of 95 respondents selected through simple random sampling technique to collect data through questionnaire. Besides, focus group discussion and interview were used to consolidate and verify the information. Data were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive statistics based on SPSS 16.0 and qualitative technique. The finding of the study showed that the employees have good awareness towards HRD concepts and they were able to relate those concepts with HRD. However, as the results proved Ethiopian Investment Commission were not in a good track in practicing training and development, career development, organizational development and performance appraisal. The finding also indicated that the commission were not in a position to doing personal analysis and confronted with the variety of challenges in the practice of HRD. Generally, based on the findings the Investment Commission did not have good HRD system. To minimize problems in the practice of HRD first and foremost. HR should get due attention since it is an engine for other resources. In Meeting HR need, the HRD practices should also focus on career development and post training evaluation should be exercised in order to increase the effectiveness of the program. Moreover, to overcome the challenges of HRD practice there is a need for skilled human and financial resources, to differentiate high and low performers by using performance criteria and providing the necessary technical and interpersonal support to make HRD process more sustainable

description: Property graphs constitute data models for representing knowledge graphs. They allow for the convenient representation of facts, including facts about facts, represented by triples in subject or object position of other triples. Knowledge graphs such as Wikidata are created by a diversity of contributors and a range of sources leaving them prone to two types of errors. The first type of error, falsity of facts, is addressed by property graphs through the representation of provenance and validity, making triples occur as first-order objects in subject position of metadata triples. The second type of error, violation of domain constraints, has not been addressed with regard to property graphs so far. In RDF representations, this error can be addressed by shape languages such as SHACL or ShEx, which allow for checking whether graphs are valid with respect to a set of domain constraints. Borrowing ideas from the syntax and semantics definitions of SHACL, we design a shape language for property graphs, ProGS, which allows for formulating shape constraints on property graphs including their specific constructs, such as edges with identities and key-value annotations to both nodes and edges. We define a formal semantics of ProGS, investigate the resulting complexity of validating property graphs against sets of ProGS shapes, compare with corresponding results for SHACL, and implement a prototypical validator that utilizes answer set programming.

description: In the entire world every organization has its own advertising objective, increase sales and market share, build customer relationship and brand image. The aim of this study is to find out the effect of advertising effectiveness on member's satisfaction in Ethiopian Commodity Exchange. The active role of the members in determining the effects of advertising has important implications for how the effects and effectiveness of advertising on member satisfaction are measured and how various measures are interpreted. The research design adopted was cross sectional descriptive design. The population of the study comprised of ECX members from various regions. The study used primary and secondary data which was collected using self-administered questionnaires. The data collected was analysed using statistical package for social sciences and presented in tables. The study found out ECX uses informative advertisement that helps the company by creating awareness for members about the trading products and services but also serves as a useful vehicle in building brand image of the company and its services offered to the target market. Advertising influences member satisfaction as it enables the company to enhance the commodity market of products, increase volume of sales in the country, increase the profits of traders and enhance the organizational relationship with its members. This study examined the relationship between advertising reliability, timeliness, frequency and accuracy with member satisfaction. The result of this study is based on data gathered through questioner from 181 members. The study found that the relationship between advertising timeliness, frequency and accuracy have a significant positive influence on member satisfaction, whereas advertising reliability has positive but without statistical significance.

description: Searches for new heavy resonances decaying to $WW$, $WZ$, and $ZZ$ bosons are presented, using a data sample corresponding to 3.2 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Analyses selecting $ννqq$, $\ellνqq$, $\ell\ell qq$ and $qqqq$ final states are combined, searching for a narrow-width resonance with mass between 500 and 3000 GeV. The discriminating variable is either an invariant mass or a transverse mass. No significant deviations from the Standard Model predictions are observed. Three benchmark models are tested: a model predicting the existence of a new heavy scalar singlet, a simplified model predicting a heavy vector-boson triplet, and a bulk Randall-Sundrum model with a heavy spin-2 graviton. Cross-section limits are set at the 95% confidence level and are compared to theoretical cross-section predictions for a variety of models. The data exclude a scalar singlet with mass below 2650 GeV, a heavy vector-boson triplet with mass below 2600 GeV, and a graviton with mass below 1100 GeV. These results significantly extend the previous limits set using $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV.

description: Phenomenological implications of the Mimetic Tensor-Vector-Scalar theory (MiTeVeS) are studied. The theory is an extension of the vector field model of mimetic dark matter, where a scalar field is also incorporated, and it is known to be free from ghost instability. In the absence of interactions between the scalar field and the vector field, the obtained cosmological solution corresponds to the General theory of Relativity (GR) with a minimally-coupled scalar field. However, including an interaction term between the scalar field and the vector field yields interesting dynamics. There is a shift symmetry for the scalar field with a flat potential, and the conserved Noether current, which is associated with the symmetry, behaves as a dark matter component. Consequently, the solution contains a cosmological constant, dark matter and a stiff matter fluid. Breaking the shift symmetry with a non-flat potential gives a natural interaction between dark energy and dark matter.

description: A class of matroids is introduced which is very large as it strictly contains all paving matroids as special cases. As their key feature these split matroids can be studied via techniques from polyhedral geometry. It turns out that the structural properties of the split matroids can be exploited to obtain new results in tropical geometry, especially on the rays of the tropical Grassmannians.

description: The objective of the study is to assess problems related to implementation of VAT practice and revenue generation performance with respect to the challenge and opportunity in the case of Ministry of revenue eastern Addis Ababa branch office. The paper further assesses to showing the share of VAT income in related to total government revenue. The study used both qualitative and quantitative research methods to collect and analyze both primary and secondary data. The information gathered from MOR eastern Addis Ababa branch office taxpayers and employee's attitude towards VAT implementations problems, compliance level of the taxpayers to VAT rule and regulation and tax authority potential to administer VAT. Questionnaires were distributed for 381 and 216 VAT registered taxpayers and employees of the branch respectively and to analyze the data, statistical package for social science (SPSS) software version 20 was used. Further, secondary data was collected to measure the VAT revenue performance of the authority. The major challenges of the authority in the collection of VAT revenue were: - consumers are not willing to transact with a proper VAT receipt, Ministry of revenue Poor tax enforcement capacity, unfair competition between VAT registered and unregistered tax payers, lack of skill and experience to detect any tax fraud and evasion, tax authority lack of potential to refund excess VAT credit, administration system of penalty is weak and lack consistency. The paper suggests that ministry of revenues should improve the information technology (IT), system to implement like filling ,payment system, recording system ,registration and others related issues in order to overcome the complexity of tax collection and to reduce the administration cost. The tax ministry could also upgrade the skill and competency of tax officials in order to handle tax related offences in a better way. Un-registered taxpayers can affect VAT payer's transaction and profitability Therefore, It also suggested that actions should be taken to narrow the gap between them. Finally, ministry of revenue may take these findings worthwhile for corrective action as the researcher put some helpful recommendations.

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made a huge impact on our everyday lives. As a dominant branch of AI since the 1990s, Machine Learning (ML) has been applied to a wide range of scenarios, including image recognition, speech recognition, fraud detection, recommendation systems, time series prediction and self-driving cars. Deep learning, backed up by Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), is a major subfield of machine learning. DNNs are good at approximating smooth functions, i.e., learning a mapping from inputs to outputs, which is also known as the predictive or supervised learning approach. Sometimes, one is not interested in a specific predictive task, but rather in finding interesting patterns in the data. In this case, a descriptive or unsupervised learning approach is needed, and the task can be formalized as density estimation. Deep probabilistic models have gained popularity for density estimation because they maintain a good balance between expressivity and tractability, whereas classical probabilistic models face an inherent trade-off. Deep neural networks and deep probabilistic models are both deep models in the sense that they are composed of multiple layers of computation units. They are essentially computation graphs and consequently, it is hard for humans to understand the underlying decision logic behind their behavior. Despite the representational and predictive power deep models have demonstrated in many complex problems, their opaqueness is a common reason for concern. In this thesis, we provide insights into deep models using high-level interpretations and explanations of why particular decisions are made. Explanations that contradict our intuitions or prior knowledge on the underlying domain can expose a potential concern, which may imply some desiderata of ML systems are not met. For example, a deep model may obtain high predictive accuracy by exploiting a spurious correlation in the dataset, which can lead to a lack of robustness, or unfairness if the spurious correlation is linked to a protected attribute. Built on the framework of Explanatory Interactive Machine Learning (XIL), we propose to interactively improve deep models based on the explanations we get. This way, we put users in the training loop and take user feedback on explanations as additional training signals. As an effect, the model can learn the rules that align with our intuitions or prior knowledge.

description: Graph databases are becoming widely successful as data models that allow to effectively represent and process complex relationships among various types of data. As with any other type of data repository, graph databases may suffer from errors and discrepancies with respect to the real-world data they intend to represent. In this work we explore the notion of probabilistic unclean graph databases, previously proposed for relational databases, in order to capture the idea that the observed (unclean) graph database is actually the noisy version of a clean one that correctly models the world but that we know partially. As the factors that may be involved in the observation can be many, e.g, all different types of clerical errors or unintended transformations of the data, we assume a probabilistic model that describes the distribution over all possible ways in which the clean (uncertain) database could have been polluted. Based on this model we define two computational problems: data cleaning and probabilistic query answering and study for both of them their corresponding complexity when considering that the transformation of the database can be caused by either removing (subset) or adding (superset) nodes and edges.

description: The excessive dispersion measures (DMs) and high Galactic latitudes of fast radio bursts (FRBs) hint toward a cosmological origin of these mysterious transients. Methods of using measured DM and redshift $z$ to study cosmology have been proposed, but one needs to assume a certain amount of DM contribution from the host galaxy (DM$_{\rm HG}$) in order to apply those methods. We introduce a slope parameter $β(z) \equiv d \ln \left< {\rm DM}_{\rm E} \right> / d \ln z$ (where DM$_{\rm E}$ is the observed DM subtracting the Galactic contribution), which can be directly measured when a sample of FRBs have $z$ measured. We show that $\left< {\rm DM_{HG}}\right>$ can be roughly inferred from $β$ and the mean values, $\overline{\rm \left}$ and $\bar z$, of the sample. Through Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the mean value of local host galaxy DM, $\left$, along with other cosmological parameters (mass density $Ω_m$ in the $Λ$CDM model, and the IGM portion of the baryon energy density $Ω_b f_{\rm IGM}$) can be independently measured through MCMC fitting to the data.
