description: Recently it was proposed that the orbital ordering of $π_{x,y}^*$ molecular orbitals in the superoxide CsO$_2$ compound leads to the formation of spin-1/2 chains below the structural phase transition occuring at $T_{\rm{s1}}=61$~K on cooling. Here we report a detailed X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of this phase in CsO$_2$ powder. The EPR signal appears as a broad line below $T_{\rm{s1}}$, which is replaced by the antiferromagnetic resonance below the Néel temperature $T_{\rm N}=8.3$~K. The temperature dependence of the EPR linewidth between $T_{\rm{s1}}$ and $T_{\rm{N}}$ agrees with the predictions for the one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain of $S=1/2$ spins in the presence of symmetric anisotropic exchange interaction. Complementary analysis of the EPR lineshape, linewidth and the signal intensity within the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) framework allows for a determination of the TLL exponent $K=0.48$. Present EPR data thus fully comply with the quantum antiferromagnetic state of spin-1/2 chains in the orbitally ordered phase of CsO$_2$, which is, therefore, a unique $p-$orbital system where such a state could be studied.

description: Introduction Mental Health Nurses (MHNs) are at increased risk of experiencing psychological distress due to the nature of dynamic working environments and patient presentations resulting in cumulative experiences of various traumas. This psychological distress can result in negative outcomes affecting both the personal and professional lives of nurses through burnout, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. It also impacts organizations through recruitment and retention issues, as well as having adverse effects on patient experiences and outcomes. Aims & Objectives To establish what is known in regard to how nurses in mental health settings experience gaining access to workplace psychological supports in current available literature. Methods A scoping review will be conducted using the PRISMA-ScR tool to determine the breadth of literature available regarding nurses’ experiences of accessing psychological support. A search strategy will aid in locating both published and unpublished material. Qualitative, quantitative and mixed method designs will be included. Searches of four healthcare orientated databases and manual searches of relevant journals will be conducted. A PRISMA Flowchart will be included to display data screening process and inclusion/exclusion criteria. Data extraction forms will be piloted prior to full review, updated accordingly and then used to chart data. Data will be synthesized through a descriptive summary supported by a visual display of charted date in table form. Outcomes To map key concepts in regard to perceived and actual barriers and facilitators to accessing workplace psychological supports for mental health nurses and to determine areas for further enquiry.

description: Dass die Auffassungen von Mathematik eine zentrale Rolle für das individuelle Mathematiklernen spielen, ist eine weit geteilte Hypothese. Auch dass ebenso die Auffassungen von Lehrpersonen Einfluss auf die methodische und inhaltliche Gestaltung des Mathematikunterrichts haben - und damit mittelbar auf den Lernerfolg und wiederum auf die Auffassungen der Lernenden - ist dokumentiert. Weniger gut untersucht sind in diesem Zusammenhang beliefs mit Bezug auf einzelne Stoffgebiete (domain-specific beliefs), obgleich dies konkreter stoffdidaktischer Forschung zugleich als Ausgangspunkt und Korrektiv dienen kann. Die hier skizzierten Ergebnisse ergänzen bisherige Arbeiten zu analysis-spezifischen Auffassungen (vgl. etwa Ehrens & Eichler (2013), Rolka u.a. oder Tall (2013)) und fokussieren auf die Perspektive der Lehrenden.
VAT and the FDRE Constitution: Is VAT Really an Undesignated Tax?
Creators: name: Silesh, Gizachew Chanie
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: There has been a growing interest in the application of value added tax (VAT) on a global level. Yet the adaptability of VAT in federal systems has come to
be a subject of discourse and experimentation in several countries. Ethiopia introduced VAT in 2002, and thereby, as federal state, faced issues of how
best to design VAT in a federal set up. The introduction of VAT in Ethiopia was allegedly justified under the constitutional clause of “undesignated
powers of taxation.” Though it was said to be undesignated tax power, practically speaking it has brought changes in the already existing
distribution power of taxation by shifting part of states’ power of taxation over sales tax to the federal government. This article explores how VAT is
adapted in the Ethiopian case both from practical and constitutional perspectives. It begins by reviewing the salient features of the constitutional
provisions on tax allocation and description of the actual division of power of taxation between federal government and the states in Ethiopia, and then
proceeds to the survey of the features of the VAT introduced in Ethiopia. The main focus is to explore the question of whether or not VAT was designated
in the FDRE Constitution. In other words, it enquires into the issue of whether the introduction of VAT as undesignated tax power is in line with the
 constitution or not? After due analysis, the author concludes that the Ethiopian VAT legislation is not in congruity with the FDRE Constitution.

description: This report focuses on the working strategy that is being set to update the access policy for E-RIHS. To ensure a comprehensive document, we believe it is crucial to build upon the foundation established during the preparatory phase of E-RIHS PP. This existing document encompasses years of reflection and practical experience, gained through previous European Integrating Activities such as IPERION CH (H2020) and CHARISMA (FP7) and IPERION HS (Horizon Europe). Furthermore, it has undergone review by the E-RIHS platform coordinators. The User Strategy aims to be forward-looking, taking into account both current and potential future users. This ongoing work is treated in parallel tasks that will feed into the developments of this task. It will outline the necessary processes for gathering information to assess the needs of existing and prospective users. Additionally, the strategy will highlight the ways in which this information can be utilized within E-RIHS decision-making processes. The development of the strategy will closely align with parallel tasks related to users in other E-RIHS IP work packages. By leveraging the existing foundation and incorporating insights from various stakeholders, the updated access policy will address the evolving needs of users and ensure effective decision-making within the E-RIHS framework.

description: Raw Materials are crucial components of a resilient and sustainable economy and society. A sustainable supply of primary raw materials needs accessible mineral deposits and efficiently productive mines. Competing land-use issues, social and environmental challenges, declining ore grades, resource nationalism are just a few aspects, which seems to make it increasingly challenging to secure supplies. The realisation of a low-carbon society and new technologies – especially in the light of the "European Green Deal” – change future raw material needs and set a focus in so-called critical raw materials. Although Europe has a long history in mining, it is still widely underexplored in particular with modern exploration methods. A good understanding of mineral systems, mining sites and remaining resources of historical sites will stay of utmost importance. This session thus invites contributions focussing on European mineral deposits and exploration and mining activities that indicate a socio-economic importance to the German / European society in particular.

description: We explore the fluorescence signals from a pair of atoms driven towards Rydberg states on a three-level ladder transition. The dipole--dipole interactions between Rydberg excited atoms significantly distort the dark state and electromagnetically induced transparency behavior observed with independent atoms and, thus, their steady state light emission. We calculate and analyze the temporal correlations between intensities and amplitudes of the signals emitted by the atoms and explain their origin in the atomic Rydberg state interactions.

subject: Community Centers

description: Cultural centers are spaces at colleges and universities that provide resources, programming, community, and more for marginalized students. While some universities have a multicultural center aimed to serve students of many identities, many universities have centers that cater to a specific identity of students, including racial/ethnic backgrounds, gender, sexuality, and more. Cultural centers play a crucial role in fostering a sense of belonging and support for marginalized student populations in higher education, however, there is still little research that understands the diverse range of feelings and experiences that students have about these spaces. This thesis aims to bridge this knowledge gap by using a survey-based approach to explore the perceptions and emotions of marginalized students towards cultural centers.

A mixed-methods research design was utilized to collect and analyze data from marginalized students at Stanford University. The survey consisted of both quantitative Likert-scale questions and qualitative open-ended prompts, allowing for the analysis based on marginalized identities, cultural centers, frequency with the centers, and other specific methods.  The survey focused on understanding frequency and reasoning behind students’ participation within cultural centers, how students view the cultural centers in terms of the main goals of the centers, and how these cultural centers affect students in terms of their perceptions of their identities, as well as their sense of belonging and sense of self.

Results from this survey indicated a wide range of experiences, with a substantial number of students holding positive opinions. Many students expressed a strong sense of belonging, community, and cultural pride, and prioritized interacting with cultural centers within their regular schedules. However, others felt there was a need for more programming surrounding intersectionality, more diverse representation within identities, more opportunities for first-time students to interact, and routine assessment of these spaces. Overall, this study showed more about how different communities on campus view and value cultural centers, as well as how having these spaces within a prestigious and elite university such as Stanford extremely influence student life.

description: Objectives: To assess whether school-based sex education is associated with contraceptive use among US adolescents. Methods: This study is based on analysis of the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) State Combined Dataset (analysis sample n=1,522). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the association between receipt of sex education and contraceptive use, and test whether education about birth control was a mediator, controlling for confounders.Results: There is no direct statistical association between students ever having sex education in school and using contraceptive methods at last sexual intercourse. Education on birth control methods in school did not mediate an indirect relationship between sex education and contraceptive use.Conclusions: There is no association between sex education and contraceptive use among US adolescents who participated in the 2015 YRBSS State Combined Dataset. Ongoing research and support is needed to determine how education can translate into behavioral change in adolescent contraceptive use.

description: Nel corso dell’ultimo decennio, nel pensiero pedagogico anglosassone, si è affermata una cultura dell’evidenza cui ci si riferisce con l’espressione “evidence based education” (EBE). Secondo tale prospettiva, le decisioni in ambito educativo dovrebbero essere assunte sulla base delle conoscenze che la ricerca empirica offre in merito alla minore o maggiore efficacia delle differenti opzioni didattiche. Si tratta di un approccio (denominato “evidence based practice”) che ha origine in ambito medico e che in seguito ha trovato applicazione in differenti domini delle scienze sociali. L’autore presenta un quadro introduttivo all’EBE, dando conto delle sue origini e dei differenti significati di cui è portatrice.

Factors Influencing Decision-Making in Prenatal Screening for Down Syndrome
Creators: name: Bauer, Anna
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Objectives: This paper aims to determine what factors pregnant women and their partners use to determine whether to undergo prenatal screening for Down syndrome, and what further information they need to make informed decisions. Methods: Medical and social science databases were used to identify articles related to uptake of prenatal screening for Down syndrome and decision-making. Results: The majority of studies were qualitative survey or interview studies. Factors that influenced decisions included preexisting risk, anxiety, ability for action, personal values, disability experiences, demographic characteristics, family and friends, medical providers, trust in the medical establishment, and norms around routine care. Conclusions: As prenatal screening improves decision-making factors must be considered when providing information to ensure informed decision-making. Policy discussions should include multiple stakeholders, including women and their partners, medical professionals, genetic counselors, families affected by disability, and people with Down syndrome. Policies and practices must ultimately support both the reproductive rights of women and adequate, nonstigmatizing services for children.
title: Studies in the Theory and Practice of IMF Conditionality and Devaluation in Developing Countries
Creators: name: Hussain, Mohemmed Nureldin
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: The International Monetary Fund imposes conditions on the use of its credit facilities. The IMF conditions are economic policies which the borrowing country must undertake to qualify for the use of its resources. The Fund claims that such policies would restore internal and external equilibrium and promote economic development. An alternative view suggests that the IMF conditions would create a "liberalized" foreign exchange and trade system which is wholly dependent on the continuous flow of foreign aid. To achieve its claimed objectives, the IMF imposes devaluation supported by anti-inflationary policies and liberalization of trade. In correcting payment deficits the IMF devaluation model attaches great importance to the mechanisms of relative prices, income distribution, and real money balances. The corrective mechanism of devaluation, in the context of the IMF devaluation model, will be impaired if infla­tion accelerates in the devaluing countries. Serious doubt is cast on the appropriateness of the IMF diagnosis of Balance of Payments disequilibria and the effectiveness of its policy prescriptions. The IMF diagnosis does not attempt to distinguish the underlying causes of payments deficit from their effects, and its policy prescriptions are not suitable for developing economies. Owing to its adverse effect on the terms of trade, and the low price and income elasticities of demand for imports, devaluation would not be successful in improving the balance of payments. Recently the IMF has adopted what is called a supply-side approach to exchange rate determination. The coefficient of competitiveness is measured as the ratio of foreign exchange earnings per unit of domestic resource used in the export sector. Export supply is regarded as "unprofitable" if the coefficient of competitiveness is lower than the prevailing exchange rate. Devaluation is justified to make activities profitable in this sense. Owing to the inflationary repercussions of devaluation, and the low export supply elasticity» serious doubt is cast on the relevance of the supply side approach in developing countries.
Apprising Constitutional Amendment in Ethiopia: Vexing Questions and Qualms

description: The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) Constitution sets forth procedures to guide actions concerning constitutional amendments. This study examines the nature of amendment procedures adopted under the Ethiopian legal system based on comparative and analytical approaches and finds that they are not clear and sufficient enough to guide the process.Moreover, the study demonstrates that the amending provisions of the Constitution has left many issues pertaining to constitutional amendments perplexing and unanswered, which in turn creates uncertainty in the process of formal constitutional changes. Finally the study strongly recommends the amending clauses of the FDRE Constitution to be revisited and a detailed law dealing with constitutional amendment procedures to be enacted, in order to correct the gaps on the issues of initiation, ratification, publication, timeline for actions, public participation and reversals.

description: Nel suo libro "Visible Learning", Hattie (2009) assegna al metodo didattico della simulazione un effect size (d=0.33) inferiore alla soglia (d=0.40) degli effetti di maggiore rilevanza nella pratica educativa. Come interpretare questo risultato alla luce degli studi che sottolineano, invece, l'elevato potenziale didattico della simulazione? Una possibile chiave di lettura è da cercarsi in alcune confusioni concettuali e carenze metodologiche che impediscono l'accumulazione di una base coerente di evidenza sull’efficacia didattica della simulazione. Fra i fattori che possono influenzare significativamente tale efficacia, vi sono le pre-conoscenze degli studenti, il supporto a essi fornito, l’opacità del modello sottostante. Inoltre, le meta-analisi considerate da Hattie non distinguono fra l’uso di una simulazione esistente e la costruzione di modelli di simulazione da parte degli studenti.

description: Objectives.  Given persisting racial and ethnic disparities in unintended pregnancies, this study seeks to understand who is using emergency contraception and why.Methods. Logistic regressions were used to analyze a nationally representative sample of 1,624 women of reproductive age in the United States from the 2016 Survey of Family Planning and Women’s Lives.Results.  Over one-quarter of women reported ever using emergency contraception. Knowledge of and beliefs towards emergency contraception were significant predictors of ever use for all groups.  Respondents’ and their social networks’ birth control use and attitudes towards pregnancy and birth control had varying relationships with ever use by race/ethnicity. Conclusions.  Interventions should take into account women’s attitudes towards birth control and pregnancy when providing contraceptive counseling, which should include information on emergency contraception.

description: GROMACS is a widely used package for biomolecular simulation, and over the last two decades it has evolved from small-scale efficiency to advanced heterogeneous acceleration and multi-level parallelism targeting some of the largest supercomputers in the world. Here, we describe some of the ways we have been able to realize this through the use of parallelization on all levels, combined with a constant focus on absolute performance. Release 4.6 of GROMACS uses SIMD acceleration on a wide range of architectures, GPU offloading acceleration, and both OpenMP and MPI parallelism within and between nodes, respectively. The recent work on acceleration made it necessary to revisit the fundamental algorithms of molecular simulation, including the concept of neighborsearching, and we discuss the present and future challenges we see for exascale simulation - in particular a very fine-grained task parallelism. We also discuss the software management, code peer review and continuous integration testing required for a project of this complexity.

description: Future discovery of mineral resources requires a better understanding of the mineralized system at large scale. Metal fluxes in the oceanic crust have direct and indirect impact on the formation and composition of hydrothermal mineralizations in active black smoker systems, but also in their ancient analogues including volcanogenic massive sulfides and possibly in some epithermal-porphyry systems. These fluxes occur at different stages during the evolution of the oceanic crust and in very diverse tectonic environments, such as slow- and fast-spreading ridges, back-arc basins, island-arcs and continental-arcs, strongly affecting the intensity and nature of the fluxes. Seafloor hydrothermal alteration is critical for hydrothermal ore deposit formation, but it is still poorly constrained in many tectonic environments. Of particular importance are magmatic-hydrothermal processes related to crustal formation, especially in arc-related environments. The competitive effect of sulfide saturation and magmatic degassing during magmatic differentiation can strongly affect the metal endowment of a system, but over whole remains poorly understood. Finally, oceanic crust dehydration in subduction zones has strong impact on the overlying mantle composition and its redox condition, but metal fluxes remain elusive and can possibly have far reaching implications on the formation of hydrothermal mineralizations in oceanic and continental arc environments. In this session we welcome field based, experimental or modelling studies which focus on metal fluxes from modern day oceanic crust or ophiolites.

Creators: name: Mesgarpour, Mohsen
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: This thesis considers applications of machine learning techniques in hospital emergency readmission and comorbidity risk problems, using healthcare administrative data. The aim is to introduce generic and robust solution approaches that can be applied to different healthcare settings. Existing solution methods and techniques of predictive risk modelling of hospital emergency readmission and comorbidity risk modelling are reviewed. Several modelling approaches, including Logistic Regression, Bayes Point Machine, Random Forest and Deep Neural Network are considered. Firstly, a framework is proposed for pre-processing hospital administrative data, including data preparation, feature generation and feature selection. Then, the Ensemble Risk Modelling of Hospital Readmission (ERMER) is presented, which is a generative ensemble risk model of hospital readmission model. After that, the Temporal-Comorbidity Adjusted Risk of Emergency Readmission (T-CARER) is presented for identifying very sick comorbid patients. A Random Forest and a Deep Neural Network are used to model risks of temporal comorbidity, operations and complications of patients using the T-CARER. The computational results and benchmarking are presented using real data from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) with several samples across a ten-year period. The models select features from a large pool of generated features, add temporal dimensions into the models and provide highly accurate and precise models of problems with complex structures. The performances of all the models have been evaluated across different timeframes, sub-populations and samples, as well as previous models.
Appraisal of Plea-Bargaining in the Criminal Justice Policy of Ethiopia

description: The administration of justice in Ethiopia has been under reform for the past fifteen years. As part of the reform, the system of plea bargaining was introduced within the first ever criminal justice policy in 2011. The policy states that the prosecutor would drop (a) count(s) of a charge or alter a charge to a lesser crime or drop certain facts of a crime and guarantee an accused a lenient sentence in return for the plea deal. Theoretical and practical controversies on plea- bargaining is still ubiquitous among researchers and practitioners.Thus, the main objective of this article is to examine and weigh the advantages and the pitfalls of the system of plea bargaining so as to bring it to the attention of the legislature. In doing so, the writer examined the theoretical aspects of plea bargaining and the contexts of criminal justice administration in Ethiopia as well as experiences of some selected countries. It is identified that plea bargaining helps reduce case backlogs and reduce costs to the state and to the defendant.It also avoids pretrial detention and severe penalties to the defendant. However, the findings also indicate that the very nature of plea bargaining, particularly the informal negotiation, would worsen the existing corruption or perceived corruption in Ethiopia so that powerful criminals may avoid punishments or may be punished with a lenient sentence which may cause for impunity. This may also deteriorate public confidence on the formal criminal justice system which could consequently hinder crime reporting. The associated trial penalty of plea bargaining also likely coerces an accused to relinquish his dueprocess rights. Therefore, the writer fears that plea bargaining would be a viable solution, at least for the time being, to the criminal justice problems of Ethiopia except may be for minor crimes.

description: The swimming properties of an E. coli-type model bacterium are investigated by mesoscale hy- drodynamic simulations, combining molecular dynamics simulations of the bacterium with the multiparticle particle collision dynamics method for the embedding fluid. The bacterium is com- posed of a spherocylindrical body with attached helical flagella, built up from discrete particles for an efficient coupling with the fluid. We measure the hydrodynamic friction coefficients of the bacterium and find quantitative agreement with experimental results of swimming E. coli. The flow field of the bacterium shows a force-dipole-like pattern in the swimming plane and two vor- tices perpendicular to its swimming direction arising from counterrotation of the cell body and the flagella. By comparison with the flow field of a force dipole and rotlet dipole, we extract the force- dipole and rotlet-dipole strengths for the bacterium and find that counterrotation of the cell body and the flagella is essential for describing the near-field hydrodynamics of the bacterium.

description: Il presente contributo descrive un’esperienza di costruzione collaborativa di conoscenza condotta con laureati nel loro percorso di Tirocinio Formativo Attivo (TFA): un’intera classe, attrezzata di personal computer, viene trasformata in una comunità di indagine collaborativa, congiuntamente impegnata a cercare evidenze su Internet intorno ad un quesito didattico significativo. I tirocinanti, oltre a raccogliere e a sistematizzare i risultati, hanno valutato gli aspetti positivi e quelli critici dell’esperienza, riconoscendo la sostanziale positività dell’impianto, ma rimanendo incerti sulla possibile trasferibilità di modelli didattici di questo tipo nella scuola.

A Comparative Analysis of the Ethiopian Legal Framework for Challenging Arbitral Awards through Appeal
Creators: name: Demeke, Seid Mekonnen
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: The grounds on which an award may be challenged under modern
international arbitration laws are narrowly drawn and, in particular,
do not allow a review of the merits. Nevertheless, in countries having
traditions of court intervention in arbitration, the laws may – in
addition to the usual action to set aside – allow parties to appeal the
award before the courts. Comparably, the Ethiopian arbitration law
facilitates both the avenues of appeal and setting aside. However, the
legal framework for challenging arbitral awards through appeal is
criticized for allowing excessive intervention of courts over
arbitration, mainly, over the making of the award. This aspect of
judicial intervention represents the most contestable interference in
the arbitral procedure. Where parties are able to challenge, appeal or
overturn the outcome of arbitration, the finality and currency of an
award will be compromised. Hence, this work is to provide a possible
approach to rectify the legal problems associated with the challenge of
arbitral awards. Accordingly, after addressing the general overview
of commercial arbitration, this article, with a view to drawing the best
international experiences, provides an intensive comparative analysis
of the Ethiopian legal framework for challenging arbitral awards with UNCITRAL Model Arbitration Law and England Arbitration Act.

description: Il lavoro discute le implicazioni teoriche ed epistemologiche sottese all’Evidence Based Education. Dopo una rapida presentazione dell’orientamento che può essere individuato sotto questa sigla, ci si sofferma su alcuni nodi critici e possibili fraintendimenti (quello della predittività e prescrittività) ed in particolare sulla necessità che la ricerca educativa dedichi maggiore attenzione alla differenziazione dei gradi di prevedibilità propri dei contesti di apprendimento. Si conclude individuando particolari potenzialità e benefici che possono derivare da una maggiore attenzione verso questo orientamento, in particolare nei riguardi della situazione italiana.

description: This session thematizes the formation, evolution and economic importance of carbonatites and alkaline rocks. These play an important role for our society, as they contain exceptional high levels of critical raw materials, such as REE, Nb, P and F, to name a few. However, to understand how such deposits form, we need to understand how their rocks and mineral assemblages formed in space and time. Although our knowledge about the formation and mineralization as well as the magmatic and post-magmatic modification of carbonatites and alkaline rocks strongly improved over the last decades and the extraction of related raw materials could be steadily refined, there are still many open questions that need to be addressed. We encourage participants to submit and present their studies relating to carbonatites and alkaline rocks in this sub-session and to discuss and network their research. The scope of this session covers the formation, the ascent and the emplacement, but also the mineralization, differentiation and alteration of these unique rocks as well as their exploration, exploitation and processing. Experiments and numerical calculations are as welcome as field work studies and analytical investigations.
