description: Der Aufsatz führt in ausgewählte Problemstellungen der gegenwärtigen Forschung zu Sozialen Bewegungen und Protest, insbesondere den Zusammenhang von sozialen Bewegungen und Demokratie, ein. Zunächst wird der Begriff der sozialen Bewegung und der Bewegungsgesellschaft im Hinblick auf den Gesellschaftsbezug und die Selbstverhältnisse kollektiver Protestakteure erläutert. Im zweiten Abschnitt wird die Bedeutung sozialer Bewegungen in der Diskussion um die 'Krise der Repräsentation' und die 'Demokratisierung der Demokratie' herausgearbeitet. Drittens wird anhand aktueller Bewegungen (Occupy, Mahnwachen für den Frieden/Montagsmahnwachen, Pegida) gefragt, ob sich in postdemokratischen Verhältnissen ein bestimmter neuer Bewegungstyp herausbildet, der insbesondere von immenser politischer Entfremdung und spezifisch Web-2.0-geprägten Subjektivitäten gekennzeichnet ist. Diese Bewegungen werden als dreifacher Ausdruck postdemokratischer Verhältnisse begriffen: als Reaktion auf die Postdemokratie, als Kritik an der Postdemokratie und als Verkörperung postdemokratischer Strukturen. Viertens werden einige Herausforderungen für soziale Bewegungen analysiert, die sich aus autoritären Krisenbewältigungsstrategien und dem gegenwärtigen polizeilichen Umgang mit Protest ergeben. Im Fazit wird kurz auf weitere Forschungslücken und theoretische Herausforderungen für die Protestforschung eingegangen.

description: In this work we introduce a GSV type index for varieties invariant by holomorphic Pfaff systems (possibly non locally decomposables) on projective manifolds. We prove a non-negativity property for the index. As an application, we prove that the non-negativity of the GSV-index gives us an obstruction to the solution of the Poincaré problem for Pfaff systems on projectives spaces.

We prove several different, and independent, improved inequalities, one of which is a Poincaré-Hardy inequality, namely an improvement of the best $p$-Poincaré inequality in terms of the Hardy weight $r^{-p}$, $r$ being geodesic distance from a given pole. Certain Hardy-Maz'ya-type inequalities in the Euclidean half-space are also obtained.

Hierarchische Bayes-Regression bei Einbettung großer Datensätze

Publisher: name: Technische Universität Dortmund
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: 310

description: Unterraum-Einbettungen sind eine etablierte Methodik zur Reduktion großer Datensätze unter Erhalt der wesentlichen Information. In der Bayes-Regression wird die aus allen Daten geschätzte A-posteriori-Verteilung der Koeffizienten mit dem reduzierten Datensatz, der sogenannten Skizze, bis auf einen kleinen, kontrollierbaren Fehler approximiert. In dieser Arbeit soll die Verallgemeinerbarkeit dieser Methodik auf gewisse hierarchische Modelle untersucht werden. Simulationsstudien weisen auf eine gute Approximierbarkeit der Koeffizienten und der Hyperparameter hin, sofern keine Generalisierten Linearen Modelle verwendet werden. Bei normalverteilter Likelihood kann eine grundsätzliche Beschränktheit des Abstandes der Schätzer zwischen großem Datensatz und Skizze hergeleitet, für nicht-lineare Link-Funktionen dagegen widerlegt werden.

description: We prove that if a smooth variety with non-positive canonical class can be embedded into a weighted projective space of dimension $n$ as a well formed complete intersection and it is not an intersection with a linear cone therein, then the weights of the weighted projective space do not exceed $n+1$. Based on this bound we classify all smooth Fano complete intersections of dimensions $4$ and $5$, and compute their invariants.

Nonclassical Berry-Esseen inequalities and accuracy of the bootstrap

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: We study accuracy of bootstrap procedures for estimation of quantiles of a smooth function of a sum of independent sub-Gaussian random vectors. We establish higher-order approximation bounds with error terms depending on a sample size and a dimension explicitly. These results lead to improvements of accuracy of a weighted bootstrap procedure for general log-likelihood ratio statistics. The key element of our proofs of the bootstrap accuracy is a multivariate higher-order Berry-Esseen inequality. We consider a problem of approximation of distributions of two sums of zero mean independent random vectors, such that summands with the same indices have equal moments up to at least the second order. The derived approximation bound is uniform on the sets of all Euclidean balls. The presented approach extends classical Berry-Esseen type inequalities to higher-order approximation bounds. The theoretical results are illustrated with numerical experiments.

description: El presente estudio tiene por objetivo la caracterización, clasificación y patología de las especies de madera más utilizadas en la ciudad de Cartagena como elementos estructurales permanentes dichas especies son: Abarco, Carreto, Guayacán trébol, Guayacán polvillo, Nazareno y Puy. Para conocer cada una de las características de las especies de madera estudiadas y su patología se procedió a realizar una investigación de tipo mixta, es decir, una investigación bibliográfica y una experimental. La importancia del estudio reside en desarrollar una xiloteca, y una guía técnica ya que a través de estos productos se identifican y caracterizan las patologías y propiedades físicas y mecánicas de las especies anteriormente mencionadas. A partir de los resultados de este estudio se pretende brindar una base sólida de información e implementar un nuevo método semidestructivo, (Extracción de testigo con broca Sierra) para analizar el estado de las maderas in situ, un método no destructivo con el esclerómetro para estimar su resistencia a la compresión y además caracterizar las propiedades físicas y mecánicas para el uso adecuado de las maderas.A partir de muestras de madera en buen estado y en deterioro evidente, se realizaron los ensayos mencionados. Los resultados que se lograron en el ensayo no destructivo, fueron relativamente buenos en las muestras sanas, porque graficando los valores de lectura contra la densidad, se observó que son directamente proporcionales, mientras que con las maderas en estado de deterioro, no se llegó al valor mínimo de la lectura del esclerómetro. Para el ensayo semidestructivo en especímenes en ambos estados, se realizaron las respectivas perforaciones, obteniéndose para los sanos, testigos completos en algunos casos, y otros que en el proceso de la extracción se rompieron, pudiendo ser porque la madera es anisotrópica, porque presenta fractura propia, o simplemente por el corte que le concibieroninicialmente, entre otras. Pero al tacto se pudo determinar un estado sano y una buena apariencia de la viruta de la madera. En cuanto a los especímenes deteriorados, el producto de la extracción consistió en unos testigos mayormente destrozados, muy porosos, bofos y con apariencia de corcho, acompañados de una viruta que denotaba un mal estado de la madera visualmente

The Effect of Performance Appraisal Practice on Employee Motivation: The Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE)
Creators: name: Abebe, Abraham
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of performance appraisal practice on employee motivation in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. Explanatory research design was used and quantitative data were collected from a sample of 172 employees using proportionate stratified sampling technique, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis. A Structured questionnaires developed in form of a five point likert scale was used for data collection. Data was collected and analyzed by package for social sciences (SPSS).Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationships between performance appraisal practice and employee motivation. A regression model was used to determine the co-efficient of the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation. The study shows that there is a positive significant correlation between performance appraisal and employee motivation and it was concluded that performance appraisal system has a significant effect on the employee motivation at the CBE. The study also found that 48% of the changes in the employee motivation variables could be attributed to the combined effect of performance appraisal practice predictor variables. In general this research revealed that performance appraisal was associated with higher level of employee motivation. This is attributed to ongoing feedback, open communication between employees and their supervisors, trained appraisers, fairness of appraisal practice, rewarding performance and employees' participation on the planning of appraisal. The level of employee's motivation as related to the current performance appraisal system and employees perceive about the performance appraisal is low in commercial bank of Ethiopia. The recommends that effective feedback and communication; giving training opportunities to employees to acquire skills; and encouraging employees' participation in performance appraisal practice are all essential for effective performance appraisal practice in an organization.

description: Majorana zero modes are quasiparticles that hold promise as building blocks for topological quantum computing. However, the litmus test for their detection, the observation of exotic non-abelian statistics revealed by braiding, has so far eluded experimental efforts. Here we take advantage of the fact that skyrmion-vortex pairs in superconductor-ferromagnet heterostructures harboring Majorana zero modes can be easily manipulated in two spatial dimensions. We adiabatically braid the hybrid topological structures and explicitly confirm the non-abelian statistics of the Majorana zero modes numerically using a self-consistent calculation of the superconducting order parameter. Our proposal of controlling skyrmion-vortex pairs provides the necessary leeway toward a scalable topological quantum computing platform.

description: In the present work, we execute the Lie symmetry analysis on the Einstein-Maxwell field equations in the plane symmetric spacetime. Under the background of the plane symmetric space-time we compute the Lie point symmetries, perform the similarity reductions and obtain exact solutions in connection to the evolutionary scenario of the universe. The special feature of the study is that it deals with the electromagnetic energy of the inhomogeneous universe through the non-vanishing component of electromagnetic field tensor $F_{12}$ and assumes that the free gravitational field is of Petrov type-II non-degenerate. We have found that the electromagnetic field tensor is positive and increasing function of time. To validate the solution set, we examine with detailed discussions several physical as well as geometrical features of a specific sub-case of the model.

description: The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of organizational structure on administrative efficiency in the case of some selected public organizations of the federal government. The research is qualitative and quantitative research approach using Cross sectional survey method and purposive sampling method was employed to select the sample from the relevant target population. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Primary data were collected using five Point Likert-Scale out of 190 questionnaires 181 responses were properly filled and returned and only 6 middle level managers were interviewed out of 10, which cover 93.5 %. The finding results indicated that the mean value for PPDU (mean=3.21), FPPA (mean=3.43), and PPPDS (mean=2.84) were above average which indicate that public procurement units are moderately contributed to administrative efficiency. The correlation result for PPDU (r=0.417, P<0.01), FPPA (r= 0.369, p<0.01) and PPPDS (r=0.355, p<0.01) indicated that there were positive relationship between all of independent variables and the dependent variable, rejecting all null hypotheses. This implies that any increase or decrease on the independent variable will bring corresponding change on administrative efficiency. It's found that the independent variables has a 43.6% influence on the dependent variable while the remaining 56.4% is influenced by factors which are not covered in this study. Hence, the public procurement units review its structure and system in order to improve the limitation on administrative efficiency.

description: This paper reconsiders the relationship between individual wages and regional market access. We focus on Poland – a country that has experienced profound changes in market accessibility over the last two decades, first as a consequence of European Union accession in 2004, and second as a result of the unprecedented development of the major road transport network. Using data over the period 2000–15 we find that the positive relationship between wages and regional market access disappears after 2004. At the same time, individual wages begin to be positively correlated with the market potential of Poland’s main trading partners.

description: Occupational accidents and diseases not only entail an appalling human toll, but also account for a significant economic burden on national economies and on enterprises. The general objective of the study was to investigate the practice and challenges of OSH in Meta Abo Brewery share Company. This study applied descriptive research study and used quantitative and qualitative research methods. Primary data was collected using a questionnaire from 98 randomly selected workers from production departments. Though the company had an international based OSH policy and procedure, the study revealed that workers and supervisors in these areas had low commitment to obey the policy: lack of awareness, carelessness or ignorance of safety requirements, Shortage of PPEs, PPE are not comfortable, no strong follow-up and enforcement non-enforcement and lack of motivation. Most of occupational injuries reported during the last 2 years and the overall prevalence during the last 2 years was reported 1-2 times. Hand finger was reported as the highest frequency of occupational injuries and Toe, Eye and Ear were stated as less frequently injuries. The major challenges is lack of awareness among workers and employers about work site safety and health and lack of Workers positive response to wear personal protective equipment (PPEs) in the organization and lack of government audits and/or inspections preferred were considered as a least challenge. Meta Abo should improve safety and health at work through a Decent Work Agenda – it helps to better address occupational safety and health as a vital component of decent work. The company should promote a preventive safety and health culture and progressively achieving a safe and healthy working environment.

Almost all Steiner triple systems have perfect matchings

description: We show that for any n divisible by 3, almost all order-n Steiner triple systems have a perfect matching (also known as a parallel class or resolution class). In fact, we prove a general upper bound on the number of perfect matchings in a Steiner triple system and show that almost all Steiner triple systems essentially attain this maximum. We accomplish this via a general theorem comparing a uniformly random Steiner triple system to the outcome of the triangle removal process, which we hope will be useful for other problems. Our methods can also be adapted to other types of designs; for example, we sketch a proof of the theorem that almost all Latin squares have transversals.

description: It is quite common in cross-sectional convergence analyses that data exhibit spatial dependence. Within the literature adopting the distribution dynamics approach, authors typically opt for spatial prefiltering. We follow an alternative route and propose a procedure based on an estimate of the mean function of a conditional density for which we develop a two-stage non-parametric estimator that allows for spatial dependence estimated via a spline estimator of the spatial correlation function. The finite sample performance of this estimator is assessed via Monte Carlo simulations. We apply the procedure that incorporates the proposed spatial non-parametric estimator to data on per capita personal income in US states and metropolitan statistical areas.

description: Lack of interregional trade data is often a major obstacle when doing economic analysis at the subnational level. This paper discusses a calibration procedure for estimating bilateral trade between the regions of a country. Our approach can be equivalently characterized as an application of the gravity-RAS or the doubly constrained gravity model method. Either way, a crucial element is represented by the distance elasticity parameter, which the user is expected to provide exogenously. We propose a way of estimating that parameter using standard econometric methods with readily available data and demonstrate our calibration procedure in a case study of Italy.

The Effect Of Managerial Competencies On Organizational Effectiveness: The Case Of Addis Ababa Housing Development Project Office
Creators: name: Kebede, Biniyam
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Managerial competencies are the driving force behind the success of any project. The main objective of this research was to examine the effect of managerial competencies on housing project effectiveness in Addis Ababa Housing Development Project Office. The study adopted quantitative and qualitative methods with the help of primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected using self-administered questionnaires on 82 respondents and key informant interviews. Secondary data was collected through reviewing of documents. Analysis of the quantitative data was made using SPSS version 23. In this study, stratified random sampling techniques were used in order to achieve the desired representation from the various subgroups in the population. To draw inferences about the population from sample data and to arrive at reliable findings the researcher used both descriptive and inferential research design. To accomplish the objective some hypothesis and research questions were set. In this research descriptive data analysis, correlation analysis and multicollinearity test were used. The study found that there was a significant relationship between managerial competencies and project effectiveness. The findings identified that the Addis Ababa Housing Development Project has encountered problems with regards time of accomplishing, cost and constructing quality of houses. The results showed that professional, social and personal competencies of managers were the major determinant factors for the housing project success at the Addis Ababa Housing Development Project Office. In order to increase the effectiveness of the project the study suggested that the current project managers' appointment practice should be improved by employing competent managers based on their educational qualification and work experience instead of political commitment alone.
Distance from diasporas and immigrants’ location choice: evidence from Italy

description: Diasporas play a fundamental role in explaining the location choice of new immigrants. We investigate the spatial dimension of diaspora externalities focusing on immigrants in Italian local labour market areas (LLMAs). We show that the net pull effect of diasporas spills over an estimated average distance of 82 km. We find evidence of negative spatial spillovers at greater geographical distances, suggesting a competition effect from neighbouring diasporas. Ethnic-specific labour markets and ethnic consumption externalities are important channels through which the distance–decay effects of diasporas take place. We also find that the spatial effects of diasporas are highly heterogeneous across gender and origin countries.
Impacto del nuevo procedimiento para calcular la retención en la fuente a titulo de renta,establecida en el articulo 173 de la ley 1450 del 2011, en el bienestar social de los trabajadores independientes de la ciudad de Cartagena durante el II semestre del 2011 y su tendencia en el 2012

description: Teniendo en cuenta que la contratación directa de trabajadores por parte de las empresas, ha disminuido considerablemente y ha causado diversas irregularidades en temas laborales y sociales; nos encontramos entonces con un porcentaje bastante significativo de los trabajadores del país, contratados bajo la modalidad de trabajadores independientes, puesto que esto “ahorra” gastos parafiscales a las empresas, según lo afirman muchos. Nos encontramos entonces, en la ciudad de Cartagena, con una polémica de mucho interés y apetecida por los críticos del tema, como lo es la contratación de empleados, con las características legales de un Contrato de Trabajo, establecida por el Código Laboral, pero bajo la modalidad de Contrato de Prestación de Servicios; por lo cual, nuestra población de estudio es mucho más amplia, lo que nos llevará a descubrir y determinar los efectos más notables que se han dado en el 2011 y que se estiman para el año 2012 con la aplicación de esta ley, en los trabajadores independientes que trabajan mediante Contratos de Prestación de Servicios en la Ciudad de Cartagena. Es por esto que decidimos hacer un análisis minucioso de algunos problemas, vacíos e inconvenientes de todo tipo, que han tenido, tanto el agente retenedor como los trabajadores independientes con la aplicación de esta ley. Por consiguiente evaluaremos los efectos que ha tenido en la realidad, desde el momento en que se promulga la ley en el 2011 y su tendencia para el año 2012, en el bienestar de los trabajadores independientes de la ciudad de Cartagena, entendiendo que este bienestar, es uno de los objetivos que se trazó el Gobierno con la nueva ley.Teniendo en cuenta su objetivo general, este estudio pretende resaltar la importancia de realizar una descripción y una proyección sobre las ventajas y/o desventajas que podrán tener los trabajadores independientes de todos los tipos servicios y de todas los estratos sociales, en la ciudad de Cartagena de Indias, para evaluar una vez más lo que el gobierno puede realizar a través de una norma, para favorecer a las clases que no se ven beneficiadas con otras políticas que se expiden, debido a la situación económica en la que actualmente se encuentra el país. Sería importante observar la realidad y percibir de una forma más cotidiana, específica y concreta; para ser usada como bases para nuevas decisiones por parte de la Administración de la ciudad
A Bayesian approach for the estimation of weight matrices in spatial autoregressive models

description: We develop a Bayesian approach to estimate weight matrices in spatial autoregressive (or spatial lag) models. Datasets in regional economic literature are typically characterized by a limited number of time periods T relative to spatial units N. When the spatial weight matrix is subject to estimation severe problems of over-parametrization are likely. To make estimation feasible, our approach focusses on spatial weight matrices which are binary prior to row-standardization. We discuss the use of hierarchical priors which impose sparsity in the spatial weight matrix. Monte Carlo simulations show that these priors perform very well where the number of unknown parameters is large relative to the observations. The virtues of our approach are demonstrated using global data from the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
