description: Η παρούσα εργασία επιχειρεί να διερευνήσει τη «διατάραξη» (disruption) που έχουν επιφέρει οι διάφορες εκφάνσεις της συνεργατικής οικονομίας / οικονομίας του διαμοιρασμού (sharing economy) στον τρόπο οργάνωσης της εργασίας και τη διάρθρωση της αγοράς εργασίας. Αυτό επιτυγχάνεται μέσα από την αποσαφήνιση των σχετικών ορισμών και εννοιών, τη διερεύνηση του μετασχηματισμού (απορρύθμισης) της σύγχρονη αγοράς εργασίας (labor market) και των αντίστοιχων προσπαθειών (regulation) της νέας κατάστασης τόσο σε εθνικό επίπεδο (κρατικές παρεμβάσεις) όσο και περιφερειακό επίπεδο (διεθνείς οργανισμοί, ΕΕ, ΟΑΣΑ). Παράλληλα, αποτυπώνεται η κριτική, απέναντι στην οικονομία της πλατφόρμας (gig economy / platform economy) με έμφαση στην ανάδυση νέων μορφών εκμετάλλευσης, που χαρακτηρίζονται από αυξημένη «ευελιξία», εργασιακή επισφάλεια και έλλειψη εργασιακών δικαιωμάτων αλλά και τα ενδεχόμενα αντισταθμιστικά οφέλη που φέρνουν μαζί τους οι νέες μορφές απασχόλησης. Επίσης, εκτός των από τις μικροοικονομικές προεκτάσεις (επιχειρηματικά μοντέλα, εργασιακές σχέσεις και ρυθμίσεις κλπ.), εξετάζονται και οι μακροοικονομικές προεκτάσεις (επιπτώσεις στην περιφερειακή ανάπτυξη, «παγκόσμια» αγορά εργασίας) και τέλος παρουσιάζονται κάποιες ενδεικτικές προσεγγίσεις σχετικές με τη μέτρηση του μεγέθους και των τάσεων και των μηχανισμών της οικονομίας της πλατφόρμας
description: This paper explores the disruption that sharing economy / platform economy (gig economy) has brought to the labor market and the ways that labor (as a mean of production) is utilized. Through the firsts chapters of the paper, all the related definitions are broadly presented, followed by the effort to present the transformation (de-regulation) of the contemporary labor market and the counter efforts towards regularization, both in local (i.e., state interventions) and regional (i.e., international organizations, EU, OECD etc.) level. On that note, the growing “flexibility” (precarious working conditions and lack of working rights), along with the benefits this new forms of employment offer, are presented. Furthermore, this disruption in the labor market, is explored, both through a micro-economic (business models, regulation, etc.) aspect, and through a macro-economic (regional development, “global” labor market) view. Finally, in the last chapter some examples and methods to measure the volume and the trends of platform economy are briefly presented

description: We present novel method for the organisation of events. The method is based on comparing event-by-event histograms of a chosen quantity Q that is measured for each particle in every event. The events are organised in such a way that those with similar shape of the Q-histograms end-up placed close to each other. We apply the method on histograms of azimuthal angle of the produced hadrons in ultrarelativsitic nuclear collisions. By selecting events with similar azimuthal shape of their hadron distribution one chooses events which are likely that they underwent similar evolution from the initial state to the freeze-out. Such events can more easily be compared to theoretical simulations where all conditions can be controlled. We illustrate the method on data simulated by the AMPT model.

description: Back ground. In the era of HIV/AIDS pandemic, understanding the nature of adolescents' sexual behaviors is critical in developing an effective preventive strategy. Objectives The purpose of this study were to assess the prevalence of premarital sexual practice, factors contributing to premarital sex and condom utilization among high school adolescents. Methodology: A cross-sectional study (both quantitative and qualitative) was conducted on 722 adolescents using a pre tested questionnaires from January to April 2006, among 2 high schools. in Nekemte town, east Wollega zone, west oromia regional state. Result. Of 676, study population 21.4% (70.3% of males and 29, 7% of females).reported having practiced premarital sexual intercourse. The mean age at first sexual intercourse was 16.2+1.5 years and 15.18+1.7 years for males and females, respectively. From those sexually active adolescents 5.8% of males and 13.3% of females reported to having had sexual intercourse before the age of 14 years (10-14). However, 57.2% (69.5% of males and 56.6% of females) had their first sexual intercourse between the age of 15 and 17 years. The reasons cited for the initiation of the first sexual intercourse were fall in love (34.9%), had desire (29.5%), rape (2.7%), peer pressure (16.8%), to get money/gifts (7.4%) and were drunk (3.4%). In the past 12 months, 74.2% of the adolescents reported to ever use condom. But only about half (52.8 %) used condom consistently, while only one-third (33.3%) reported to having used condom the first time they had sexual intercourse. Moreover, in the past 12 months, 91(79.8%) reported one, 14(12.3%) two and 9(7.9%) three and more sexual partners. Conclusions and recommendations From this study, one can conclude that there is a high prevalence of premarital sexual practices among the adolescents. Moreover, adolescents are practicing risky sexual behaviors such as unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, and sex at early age. Therefore, an integrated effort needs to be vii initiated to address such adolescents' sexual and reproductive health problems through establishing and strengthening school anti AIDS clubs, providing inservice training for teachers on adolescent reproductive health and establishing youth centers.

description: The recent determination of the local value of the Hubble constant by Riess et al, 2016 (hereafter R16) is now 3.3 sigma higher than the value derived from the most recent CMB anisotropy data provided by the Planck satellite in a LCDM model. Here we perform a combined analysis of the Planck and R16 results in an extended parameter space, varying simultaneously 12 cosmological parameters instead of the usual 6. We find that a phantom-like dark energy component, with effective equation of state $w=-1.29_{-0.12}^{+0.15}$ at 68 % c.l. can solve the current tension between the Planck dataset and the R16 prior in an extended $Λ$CDM scenario. On the other hand, the neutrino effective number is fully compatible with standard expectations. This result is confirmed when including cosmic shear data from the CFHTLenS survey and CMB lensing constraints from Planck. However, when BAO measurements are included we find that some of the tension with R16 remains, as also is the case when we include the supernova type Ia luminosity distances from the JLA catalog.

description: Im Mittelpunkt der Abhandlung „Wissenschaft als Selbstzweck. Eine wissenschaftsphilosophische Untersuchung zu Aristoteles’ und Hegels Ideal der selbstgenügsamen Erkenntnis“ steht die uneigennützige Liebe zur Weisheit. Mit diesem Erkenntnisideal assoziiert man seit der Antike, dass die Philosophen die Weisheit und den Weg dorthin, die Erkenntnistätigkeit, um ihrer selbst willen lieben. Für sie sei die Suche nach begrifflich begründetem Wissen – häufig auch als Wahrheitssuche bezeichnet – ein Selbstzweck: eine von den Zwängen des Alltags befreite, sich selbst genügsame Tätigkeit. Im Rahmen des Buches werden die epocheabhängigen Bedeutungen dieses philosophischen Erkenntnisideals anhand von Aristoteles’ und Hegels Konzeption der selbstgenügsamen Wissenschaft untersucht. Die Wahl fällt zum einen auf Aristoteles, weil er als erster dieses Ideal in eine philosophische Wissenschaftskonzeption gießt, und zum anderen auf Hegel, weil er explizit auf Aristoteles’ Konzeption zurückgreift. Er rehabilitiert dessen Ansatz im Licht der neuzeitlichen Wissenschaftsrevolution. Die anhand der Analyse gewonnene These besagt, dass Aristoteles und Hegel mit Verweis auf das philosophische Erkenntnisideal Phänomenologien wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis konzipieren. Deren epochenübergreifende Gemeinsamkeit findet sich darin, dass in ihnen eine philosophische Anthropologie mit einem integrativ-holistischen Wissenschaftsverständnis verbunden wird. Aristoteles und Hegel wollen durch diese Verbindung eine wissenschaftlich begründete Orientierung des Menschen in einem alle Facetten der Natur und der Kultur umfassenden Wirklichkeitsbild ermöglichen. Als Richtmaß zur begrifflichen Systematisierung der allumfassenden Wirklichkeit entwickeln Aristoteles und Hegel jeweils einen epocheabhängigen Begriff der selbstgenügsamen Erkenntnistätigkeit.

description: Background: Tigray is one of the first regions in Ethiopia that implementing health extension package program at household level. In 2002/2003 EC this program strengthened and expanded in all woredas of the Region. Kola Tembien woreda, which is our study area, has 4000 households which are graduated and involved in the program for the last 3 years. Objective: To assess the impact of having HEP on active trachoma prevalence, and identify challenges, achievements and factors for sustainable implementation of the program. Methodology: This is a quasi-experimental study conducted in Kola Tembien District. Using systematic random sampling 310 households from intervention and 621 households from non-intervention households were interviewed in 31 randomly selected villages. Ophthalmic nurses use a simplified clinical grading to assess stages of trachoma while environmental technicians assessed risk factors of trachoma. Qualitative data were also collected through FGDs to identify community perception on household HEP program and the relation within all stakeholders, major achievements and challenges, and mechanisms used to sustain the program. Results: Prevalence of active trachoma in under ten years in household with HEP is 17% and in households without HEP is 35.5%. Prevalence of active trachoma is lower among households with HEP [OR: 0.37 95% CI, 0.22-0.63]; who have latrine and used properly [OR:0.62 95%CI, 0.38-0.95]. who washed face frequently [OR:0.10 95%CI, 0.05-0.18], who used soap to wash face [OR:0.37 95%CI, 0.15-0.94]; and clean face [OR:0.40 95%CI, 0.29-0.57] but higher in those who dispose waste to disposal pit [OR:1.43 95%CI, 1.04- 1.95] and distance to fetch water less than one kilometers [OR:1.47 95%CI, 1.00-2.15]. The FGDs suggested that households who implement the HEP program prevented eye diseases and eye irritation and they internalize importance of the HEP program. Conclusion: Health extension package has significant effect in prevention of active trachoma and has to be expanded to households who have not implemented the HEP program. Further sensitization and training of woreda and kebele councils, health workers and CHW and make understanding with stakeholders like Agriculture, Education, Water development and Cooperatives is necessary to enhance expansion of the program.

description: We study quantum information properties of a seven-level system realized by a particle in an one-dimensional square-well trap. Features of encodings of seven-level systems in a form of three-qubit or qubit-qutrit systems are discussed. We use the three-qubit encoding of the system in order to investigate subadditivity and strong subadditivity conditions for the thermal state of the particle. The qubit-qutrit encoding is employed to suggest a single qudit algorithm for calculation of parity of a bit string. Obtained results indicate on the potential resource of multilevel systems for realization of quantum information processing.

description: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, eine präzise asymmetrische, sowie automatisierte Mesoporenfunktionalisierung unter Nutzen von hochauflösenden Mikroskopie-Techniken zu entwickeln. Hierfür wurden unterschiedliche, mit sichtbarem Licht induzierte Polymerisationen auf ihre Eignung untersucht, wobei sich insbesondere zwei Polymerisationen als vielversprechend herausgestellt haben. Sowohl eine Photoelektronen-/Energieübertragungs (engl.: photo electron / energy transfer, PET)-RAFT Polymerisation mit dem RAFT Reagenz 2-(Dodecylthiocarbonothioylthio)-2-methylpropansäure (DDMAT), als auch eine Iniferter-initiierte Photopolymerisation mit N,N(diethylamino)dithiocarbamoylbenzyl(trimethoxy)silan (SBDC). Diese Polymerisationen wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Polymerisationsbedingungen untersucht und so optimiert, dass eine Übertragung auf einen automatisiert schreibenden Laser (405 nm) in einem hochauflösenden Fluoreszenzmikroskop möglich wurde. Darüber hinaus konnten beide Polymerisationen für eine Re-Initiierung der Polymerisation und damit zur Bildung von Block-co-Polymeren während des automatisierten Schreibens im Mikroskop genutzt werden. Durch die gezielte Nutzung von Porenfüllgraden und Re-Initiierung konnte zudem eine in z-Richtung asymmetrische Polymerverteilung durch Nutzung der PET-RAFT mit DDMAT demonstriert werden.

description: We investigate the dynamics of a strongly-driven, microwave-dressed, donor-bound electron spin qubit in silicon. A resonant oscillating magnetic field $B_1$ is used to dress the electron spin and create a new quantum system with a level splitting proportional to $B_1$. The dressed two-level system can then be driven by modulating the detuning $Δν$ between the microwave source frequency $ν_{\rm MW}$ and the electron spin transition frequency $ν_e$ at the frequency of the level splitting. The resulting dressed qubit Rabi frequency $Ω_{Rρ}$ is defined by the modulation amplitude, which can be made comparable to the level splitting using frequency modulation on the microwave source. This allows us to investigate the regime where the rotating wave approximation breaks down, without requiring microwave power levels that would be incompatible with a cryogenic environment. We observe clear deviations from normal Rabi oscillations and can numerically simulate the time evolution of the states in excellent agreement with the experimental data.

Assessment of Prevalence of Work Related Injuries among Small and Medium Scale Industrial Workers in North Gondar Zone, Amahara Regional State
Creators: name: Tadesse, Takele
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2005

description: Background: Throughout the world, work related injuries continue to cause serious public health problems and are leading cause of death, disability and disease. In developing countries including Ethiopia, the risk of having work related injury is 10 to 20 times higher than that of developed countries. Objectives: This study investigated the magnitude and extent of work-related injuries among small and medium scale industrial workers in Gondar Woreda. Methods: Stratified random sampling technique was employed to identify the industries. A total of 962 workers at production site were interviewed from both industries. Three hundred twenty one from small and 641 from medium scale industries were selected proportionate to population size. Workers from each industry were selected using simple random sampling technique. Trained data collectors administered a standardized questionnaire through face- toface interview. Physical examination, record review and workplace observation were done to ascertain the self- reported information. Data were analysed by stepwise binary logistic regression model. Results: The over all annual prevalence rate of work related injury was 335/1000 exposed workers, with 355/1000 and 324/1000 among small and medium sale industrial workers, respectively. Fifty five (17.1%) of the injured respondents were hospitalised, accounting for 40% hospitalisation more than 24 hours. One hundred and three (53.9%) of the injured respondents were absent from work for more than 3 days. There were 2 deaths as result of work related injuries in the last 12 months. The significant contributing factors for work related injuries in both industries were young age(<30 years) [adjusted OR: 1.41, 95 % CI: (1.03-1.93)],job categories, 5 years or less in the present job [OR: 1.53, 95 % CI: (1.12-2.08)] , working 48 hours or less per week [OR: 0.68, 95 % CI: (0.49, 0.94)] ,workplace supervision [OR: 0.61, 95 %CI: (0.45, 0.83)] ,sleep disorder[OR: 1.49, 95 %CI: (1.04,2.14)] and job satisfaction [OR: 0.59, 95 %CI: (0.43,0.83)] . Conclusion: Young age, job category, lack of experience, and sleep disorders were increased the risk of work-related injuries. Working 48 hours or less, workplace supervision, and job satisfaction decreased the occurrence of work-related injuries. Preventive measures concerning health and safety training, regular workplace supervision and the establishment of active and functional occupational health and safety programmes are essential to safeguard the health and safety condition of workforce in small and medium scale industries.

description: We investigate whether the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) low x evolution equation is capable to describe the energy dependence of the exclusive photo-production cross-section of vector mesons J/Psi and Upsilon on protons. Such cross-sections have been measured by both HERA experiments H1 and ZEUS in electron-proton collisions and by LHC experiments ALICE, CMS and LHCb in ultra-peripheral proton-proton and ultra-peripheral proton-lead collisions. Our approach provides a perturbative description of the rise with energy and relies only on a fit of the initial transverse momentum profile of the proton impact factor, which can be extracted from BFKL fits to inclusive HERA data. We find that BFKL evolution is capable to provide a very good description of the energy dependence of the current data set, while the available fits of the proton impact factor require an adjustment in the overall normalization.

description: Η γονική εξάρτηση συχνά οδηγεί στην παραμέληση των παιδιών και συμβάλει στην ανάγκη για φροντίδα από τους συγγενείς. Η παρούσα μελέτη εξετάζει τα βιώματα και τις εμπειρίες 10 γιαγιάδων και 1 παππού οι οποίοι φροντίζουν τα εγγόνια τους που πλήττονται από την γονική εξάρτηση, με τη μέθοδο της ανάλυσης περιεχομένου. Ερευνά το ρόλο που παίζουν οι συγγενείς στην προστασία των παιδιών από τις επιδράσεις της γονικής εξάρτησης. Υπάρχουν εκπληκτικές ομοιότητες στις απαντήσεις μεταξύ των συμμετεχόντων, κοινές εμπειρίες, βιώματα και δυσκολίες. Αναδείχτηκαν θέματα που αφορούν τη φροντίδα του παιδιού και θέματα μεταξύ υποχρεώσεων και ευθύνης. Ξεχωρίζει η αγάπη και η αφοσίωση προς τα εγγόνια με συχνή παραμέληση των προσωπικών τους αναγκών. Ωστόσο η φροντίδα των παιδιών δεν είναι χωρίς εμπόδια και εντάσεις μεταξύ παππούδων, εξαρτημένου γονέα και παιδιού. Στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις οι γιαγιάδες και ο παππούς εξέφρασαν τα αμφιθυμικά τους συναισθήματα για τα εξαρτημένα παιδιά τους και τις ανησυχίες τους για τη διατήρηση των σχέσεων παιδιού-γονέα. Παράλληλα η έλλειψη υποστηρικτικών δομών πρόνοιας και θεραπείας απεξάρτησης, μπορεί να συμβάλει στην μείωση της ικανότητας των παππούδων να παρέχουν ένα σταθερό οικογενειακό περιβάλλον στα παιδιά. Οφείλουμε να δούμε τα κενά και τις παραλήψεις για να ενισχύσουμε την ικανότητα των παππούδων να φροντίζουν τα ευάλωτα εγγόνια τους.
description: Parental substance misuse often leads to the neglect of children and contributes to kinship care. The present study examines the experiences of 10 grandmothers and 1 grandfather who take care of their grandchildren affected by parental substance misuse, by the method of content analysis. Investigates the role that relatives play in protecting children from the effects of parental substance misuce. There are striking similarities in the answers between the participants, common experiences and difficulties. Issues related to child care and issues between obligations and responsibilities emerged. Love and devotion to grandchildren stand out with frequent neglect of their personal needs. However, child care is not without obstacles and tensions between grandparents, drug addicted parent and child. In most cases, the grandparents expressed their ambivalent feelings about their drug addicted children and their concerns about maintaining the child-parent relations. At the same time, the lack of supportive welfare infrastructure and services of drug treatment can reduce the ability of grandparents to provide a stable family environment for children. We need to look at gaps and omissions to enhance grandparents' ability to care for their vulnerable grandchildren.

description: Background: Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV has been identified as the greatest means of HIV infection among children. Studies related to PMTCT utilization has been done in other parts of Ethiopia. However, there were no studies that have examined the magnitude and factors for utilization of PMTCT despite high overall health service coverage in Dire Dawa. Objective: To assess the magnitude and facilitating factors for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV service utilization among Antenatal care attending pregnant women in public health facilities in Dire Dawa. Methods: A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted using face to face interviews with mothers attending antenatal clinics in public health facilities in Dire Dawa which was supplemented by qualitative study. For quantitative part of the data 389 pregnant women were recruited using systematic random sampling method. Trained data collectors conducted the data collection using a pretested structured questionnaire. The response was coded and entered into the computer using EPI info version 3.5.4 statistical packages. Cleaned data was exported to SPSS version 21.0 for analysis. Bivariate and Multivariate analyses were carried out. Six in-depth interviews were conducted with selected people working on PMTCT in their respective work places. The qualitative interviews were conducted by the principal investigator using the interview guides prepared by me. Results: A total of 389 pregnant women attending antenatal care in Dire Dawa were approached. Of the 389 participants, about 53.2% were between 25-34 years of age, 78.9% had formal education at primary level or above, 95.6% reported acceptance of HIV counseling and testing, 78.9% were aware about mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and 93.8% knew about prevention of mother –to-child transmission of HIV and 82.3% were aware of the availability of ART prophylaxis. Of the 372 tested pregnant women, 361 (97.0%) were negative and only eleven (3.0%) were positive for HIV. Out of 11 women who were positive for HIV 9/11 of them linked to ART care service, but two of them didn't decide to be linked to ART care services. PMTCT service utilization was positively associated with high monthly income [AOR =3.7(95%CI) (1.2-11.5)], have information about VCT [AOR=4.4(95%CI) (1.1-17.6)], and prefer to have same counselor for discussion before and after the test [AOR=3.6(95%CI) (1.2-10.7)]. Conclusions and Recommendations In general the PMTCT service utilization in Dire Dawa was found to be high. Strengthening the level of PMTCT services in ANC settings and increasing mechanisms to promote involvement of men in PMTCT services is needed.

description: Minijets and jets are produced in large numbers in nuclear collisions at TeV energies, so that there are many of them in a single fireball. They deposit non-negligible amount of momentum and energy into the hydrodynamically expanding bulk and cause anisotropies of the expansion. Moreover, due to their multiple production in a single event the resulting anisotropies are correlated with the collision geometry and thus contribute positively also to event-averaged anisotropies in non-central collisions. Using simulations with three-dimensional ideal hydrodynamic model we demonstrate the importance of this effect. It must be taken into account if conclusions about the properties of the hot matter are to be drawn.

description: We study the large deviations of the time-integrated current for a driven diffusion on the circle, often used as a model of nonequilibrium systems. We obtain the large deviation functions describing the current fluctuations using a Fourier-Bloch decomposition of the so-called tilted generator and also construct from this decomposition the effective (biased, auxiliary or driven) Markov process describing the diffusion as current fluctuations are observed in time. This effective process provides a clear physical explanation of the various fluctuation regimes observed. It is used here to obtain an upper bound on the current large deviation function, which we compare to a recently-derived entropic bound, and to study the low-noise limit of large deviations.

description: In vorliegender Einzelfallanalyse erforschen zwei Schulische Heilpädagoginnen an ihren eigenen Oberstufenschulen, welche präventiven und interventiven Handlungsoptionen ihre Schulen benötigen, um Time-out gefährdete Jugendliche vor einem solchen zu bewahren. Aus der theoretischen Auseinandersetzung lassen sich die Gelingenskriterien in die Faktoren Haltung, Beziehung, Kommunikation/ Interaktion, Vernetzung und Partizipation zusammenfassen. Mittels Fragebogen und Dokumentenanalyse werden die Bedeutsamkeit der theoretischen Erkenntnisse für beide Schulen und die Bedürfnisse beider Teams erforscht. Daraus generieren die beiden Schulischen Heilpädagoginnen für ihre Schulen eine breite Palette an individuellen massgeschneiderten Handlungsoptionen, welche sie entweder direkt in ihrer Arbeit ausführen oder im Schulteam initiieren können. Es zeigt sich, dass vor allem präventiv und so früh wie möglich bei der Unterstützung von Time-out gefährdeten Jugendlichen begonnen und in den erwähnten Faktoren angesetzt werden muss.

description: We consider two possible flat space limits of three dimensional $\mathcal{N} = (1,1)$ AdS supergravity. They differ by how the supercharges are scaled with the AdS radius $\ell$: the first limit (democratic) leads to the usual super-Poincare theory, while a novel `twisted' theory of supergravity stems from the second (despotic) limit. We then propose boundary conditions such that the asymptotic symmetry algebras at null infinity correspond to supersymmetric extensions of the BMS algebras previously derived in connection to non- and ultra-relativistic limits of the $\mathcal{N}=(1,1)$ Virasoro algebra in two dimensions. Finally, we study the supersymmetric energy bounds and find the explicit form of the asymptotic and global Killing spinors of supersymmetric solutions in both flat space supergravity theories.

description: Die Erstellung von Förderplanungen ist eine der zentralen Aufgaben im Berufsalltag von Schulischen Heilpädagoginnen und Heilpädagogen. Dabei kommt dem Förderplan eine zentrale Bedeutung zu, da in ihm vereinbarte Förderziele, daraus resultierende Massnahmen und Verantwortlichkeiten festgehalten werden. Er bildet die Basis für die Förderung von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit besonderen pädagogischen Bedürfnissen. In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit werden relevante theoretische und fachspezifische Aspekte des Förderplans beschrieben und dessen Umsetzung in Regelschulen aufgezeigt. Um die konkrete Umsetzung in der Praxis aufzuzeigen, wurden sechs heilpädagogische Fachpersonen befragt. Bei der Befragung anhand von Interviews standen ihr Begriffsverständnis, die örtlichen Rahmenbedingungen sowie die konkrete Umsetzung des Förderplans im Fokus. Bedeutende Erkenntnisse aus den Analysen und den theoretisch erarbeiteten Hintergründen geben Aufschluss darüber, wie ein Förderplan effizient und vor allem erfolgreich umgesetzt werden kann.

description: Background: Malaria is mosquito-borne parasitic disease and one of the most serious health problems of human beings. Despite intensive control measure like vector control and environmental management through community participation malaria remained a public health concern of the country. Unusual malaria cases increment was reported from Ilu district, Oromia, Ethiopia in October 2013. We investigated the outbreak to describe the magnitude of the disease and identify risk factors associated with the outbreak. Method: Microscopic and RDT laboratory investigation conducted to confirm the disease. Magnitude of the disease was described by person, place and time. Previous years malaria data was reviewed to establish threshold level and understand trends of the disease. We conducted case-control study with randomly selected 109 cases and matched 109 community controls for age and sex. Epi Info 7.1 and Microsoft Excel were used to perform data entry and analysis. We also assessed environmental risk factors for the outbreak. Result: A total of 6,042 confirmed malaria cases (Attack Rate: 80 per 1000) and zero death were reported from August to November 2013 with a peak in October. Slide positivity rate was 57.6%. Greater than four years old were more affected by malaria (Age specific attack rate per 1000 population was 84). Using bed net every night was found to be protective effect for the disease (Odds Ratio: 0.4, 95% CI: 0.2 - 0.8). Presence of stagnant water (Odds Ratio: 2.04, 95% CI: 1.2 - 3.5), uncovered plastic water container in or outside home (OR: 2.3, 95% CI: 1.1-4.5) and broken glass bottles (OR: 2.3, 95% CI: 1.9-5.8) were associated with the disease. Conclusion and Recommendation: Low insecticide treated bed net utilization, presence of stagnant water, uncovered plastic water container and broken glass bottles in or outside home were attributed for the outbreak. We recommended proper ITNs utilization, indoor chemical spray per standard and strong environmental management through optimized community participation.

description: In Interface, five Kentucky-area artists explore a new language of representation with the aid of digital tools like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automatic Facial Recognition Software (AFR). Some artists use algorithms to alter celebrity faces beyond recognition, others feed data sets of existing art to AI models in an attempt to generate portraits of no one in particular. Others still create tools for understanding the very act of facial recognition or obfuscation. All have one thing in common: they wish to stretch the limits of and critique the genre of portraiture, as well as to cause viewers to question their assumptions about the genre’s scope and function.

description: Background: Though one way of reducing maternal deaths, is by improving the availability, accessibility and use of services for the treatment of obstetric complications that arise during pregnancy and childbirth; still, few facilities are providing the services. 80% of women are dying from direct emergency obstetrics complications. Objectives: To assess the availability, patterns of utilization and quality of emergency obstetric care services in health facilities as a measure of progress towards maternal mortality reduction and set a base line for the zone. Methods: A cross-sectional institution based survey was conducted in 12 districts of South West Shoa zone of Oromia regional state. Twelve health centers and one hospital were envolved in the study. EmOC facilities` data of one year(January1, 2010-December30, 2010)were obtained by reviewing obstetric,gynacological and surgical log book. Clients and key informatics were interviewed Results : There was one comprehensive emergency obstetric care (CEmOC) facility per 1,088,06 in the zone. 562 obstetric complication cases were served in CEmOC facility. 413(80%) of cases were direct obstetric complications which make the met need for EMOC 6.6% in the zone with the highest for urban (22.4%) where the CEmOC is founded and the lowest 0.72% for rural district . Among 41,346 estimated deliveries 447 (1.08%) were c/s deliveries;298(66.7%) were due to absolute maternal indications. The crude direct obstetric case fatality rate was 14(3.39%) and the causes were: uterine ruptue,PIH, hemmorehge(APH and PPH),obstructed labor,and purepureal sepsis in which each cases account for 4(28.6%),3(21.4%),3(21.4%),2(14.3%),and 2(14.3%) respectively. Conclusion and Recommandations: Majority of women are inaccessibile to EmOC or life saving services.Although they utilize the EmOC facilty through different difficulities, they encounter startiling facility obstetric case fatality.The supportive supervision list lacks EmOC services. Patients (sepsis and PIH cases) complained high waiting time before adimission. There fore,maternal health should not be only political agenda, and quality EmOC services should be available at reasonable place and time. Further studies on emergency obstetric services starting from health personel pre service training to community level is manidatory

description: We report on the measurement of the analyzing power for the (vec)pp->ppeta reaction with beam momenta of 2026 MeV/c and 2188 MeV/c performed with the WASA-at-COSY detector at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY. The eta meson from the (vec)pp-> ppeta reaction was identified by the techniques of missing mass and invariant mass. The angular distribution of the determined analyzing power strongly disagree with theoretical predictions. A comparison of the obtained Ay angular distribution with a series of associated Legendre polynomials revealed negligible contribution of the Sd partial wave at Q = 15 MeV. However, at Q = 72 MeV, a significant interference of the Ps and Pp partial waves was observed.
