Assessment of Practice of Supply Chain Management: the case of K.O.J.J Food Processing Complex
Creators: name: Mulugeta, Kaleab
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Supply chain management (SCM) is the means by which firms engaged in creating, distributing, and selling products, can join forces to establish a supply network with an unbeatable competitive advantage-has emerged as one of the most powerful business improvement tools around. Companies all over the world are pursuing supply chain as the latest methodology to reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, better utilize assets, and build new revenues. Here in Ethiopia very few researches are conducted in food supply chain industries and a lot of gaps are noticed in the area. The purpose of this paper is to study the practices of supply chain management from the five SCM practices perspectives i.e. Supplier and customer relationship, internal operations, information sharing, information technology and training and to see the integrations among SC partners. The study was employed through descriptive design in which the selections of the respondents were carried out by using judgmental and purposive sampling techniques. The major findings indicate that, most SCM practices are moderately practiced with in the K.O. JJ's SC. whereas SCR and training practices are poorly applied which represented with group mean value of 1.85 and 1.95 respectively. Based on both quantitative and qualitative analysis the case company has poor relationship with its customers and suppliers and poor customers' services. Manufacturing, supply and demand uncertainties are the major headaches or challenges of the case company's SC which prohibits effective implementation of SCM. Food processing industries are emerging in our country and future researches should conduct a more detailed study on the issue. Especially researches on supply chain management practices are advised to include all upstream and downstream supply chain members.

description: The conflict between quantum theory and the theory of relativity is exemplified in their treatment of time. We examine the ways in which their conceptions differ, and describe a semiclassical clock model combining elements of both theories. The results obtained with this clock model in flat spacetime are reviewed, and the problem of generalizing the model to curved spacetime is discussed, before briefly describing an experimental setup which could be used to test of the model. Taking an operationalist view, where time is that which is measured by a clock, we discuss the conclusions that can be drawn from these results, and what clues they contain for a full quantum relativistic theory of time.

The Effect of Supply Chain Management on Oils Seeds (Sesame) Export Performance in Ethiopia: The Case of Three Sesame Export Companies
Creators: name: Dubai, Melaku
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: This research was conducted on the Effect of Supply Chain Management on Oils Seeds (Sesame) Export Performance in Ethiopia in the Case of three sesame export companies. The study aims to articulate the effect of supply chain management on sesame export performance in Dipasa Agro plc., Ambasel Trading House and Selet Hulling Plc. This research is conducted to answer the following research questions: What are the current supply chain management practices of oil seed exporting companies? How is the integration between the suppliers and the processor? How responsive is the supply management process of the supply chain? and Are there changes that the management brings in terms of time, cost and quality? The study employed a quantitative research specifically descriptive survey research method. Data is collected from the higher management team, supervisors and operation workers of the above three companies. The research used structured questionnaire and document review to collect data. The major findings of the study show that the organizations integration with their suppliers is good except that there is weak strategic partnership with major suppliers. This study also identified gaps in managing supply chain inventories in relation to visibility of the inventory status along the supply. The result also shows the information flow within the organizations and with strategic customers; and the communication with customers is moderately good. From the result of the analysis it is concluded that each SCM practices of the organizations such as supplier integration, internal integration, information flow and customer integration affected the export performance of the organizations both in positive and negative ways. The study has great implication in the area of supply chain management of oilseed exporting companies, and for further research.

description: Recent space based observations of the Sun revealed that magnetic reconnection is ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere, ranging from small scale reconnection (observed as nanoflares) to large scale one (observed as long duration flares or giant arcades). Often the magnetic reconnection events are associated with mass ejections or jets, which seem to be closely related to multiple plasmoid ejections from fractal current sheet. The bursty radio and hard X-ray emissions from flares also suggest the fractal reconnection and associated particle acceleration. We shall discuss recent observations and theories related to the plasmoid-induced-reconnection and the fractal reconnection in solar flares, and their implication to reconnection physics and particle acceleration. Recent findings of many superflares on solar type stars that has extended the applicability of the fractal reconnection model of solar flares to much a wider parameter space suitable for stellar flares are also discussed.

description: A single transport relaxation rate governs the decay of both, longitudinal and Hall currents in Landau Fermi Liquids (LFL). Breakdown of this fundamental feature, first observed in cuprates and subsequently in other three-dimensional correlated systems close to (partial or complete) Mott metal-insulator transitions, played a pivotal role in emergence of a non-Landau Fermi liquid paradigm in higher dimensions $D(>1)$. Motivated hereby, we explore the emergence of this "two relaxation rates" scenario in the Hubbard-Falicov-Kimball model (HFKM) using the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). Specializing to $D=3$, we find, beyond a critical FK interaction, that two distinct relaxation rates governing distinct temperature ($T$) dependence of the longitudinal and Hall currents naturally emerges in the non-LFL metal. We rationalize this surprising finding by an analytical analysis of the structure of charge and spin correlations in the underlying impurity problem, and point out good accord with observations in the famed case of V$_{2-y}$O$_3$ near the MIT.

Pedestrian Level Crossing Safety on the East West Line of Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit
Creators: name: Habtamu, Seid
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: In recent years, Railway level crossing (RLC) accidents is one of the major contributing factors of railway related fatality problems in many countries. A fundamental requirement in pedestrians safety planning is the isolation of level crossings along the railway. This is normally assisted by precautions which are used to give information for every group of pedestrians. The study was done by direct observation and Census (random sampling technique by taking 15 minutes duration) to examine the flow of pedestrians and trains along the level crossings (Stations) of the newly build East-West line of Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit. From the collected data; by calculating the train pedestrian value and pedestrian category, the necessity of precautions (road markings, audible warnings, pedestrian signals, tactile threshold and guard rails) is analyzed. And also by taking the flow of pedestrians from the graph, the necessity of grade separation is analyzed. The result of the reasearch is that; Road markings, audible warnings and pedestrian signals are necessary in all stations. Since the necessity of tactile threshold is dependent on the alignment of crossings and adjacent footways, 8 out of 14 stations are isolated to construct a tactile threshold. And also the location of all railway stations is at the middle of vehicle road. So, it is unable to construct a guard rail in every station. In some areas, there is a crowded flow of pedestrians and due to that reason pedestrians are trying to use vehicle crossings as a crossing. It may create a collision between pedestrians and road vehicles due to the congestion. This study recommends the necessity of grade separations (Bridges or Tunnels) in order to avoid those accidents.

description: Zero-Shot learning has been shown to be an efficient strategy for domain adaptation. In this context, this paper builds on the recent work of Bucher et al. [1], which proposed an approach to solve Zero-Shot classification problems (ZSC) by introducing a novel metric learning based objective function. This objective function allows to learn an optimal embedding of the attributes jointly with a measure of similarity between images and attributes. This paper extends their approach by proposing several schemes to control the generation of the negative pairs, resulting in a significant improvement of the performance and giving above state-of-the-art results on three challenging ZSC datasets.

description: We present Karl G Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) observations of CO(2-1) line emission and rest-frame 250GHz continuum emission of the Hyper-Luminous IR Galaxies (HyLIRGs) BRI1202-0725 (z=4.69) and BRI1335-0417 (z=4.41), with an angular resolution as high as 0.15". Our low order CO observations delineate the cool molecular gas, the fuel for star formation in the systems, in unprecedented detail. For BRI1202-0725, line emission is seen from both extreme starburst galaxies: the quasar host and the optically obscured submm galaxy (SMG), in addition to one of the Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies in the group. Line emission from the SMG shows an east-west extension of about 0.6". For Lyalpha-2, the CO emission is detected at the same velocity as [CII] and [NII], indicating a total gas mass ~4.0*10^10 solar masses. The CO emission from BRI1335-0417 peaks at the nominal quasar position, with a prominent northern extension (~1", a possible tidal feature). The gas depletion timescales are ~10^7 years for the three HyLIRGs, consistent with extreme starbursts, while that of Lyalpha-2 may be consistent with main sequence galaxies. We interpret these sources as major star formation episodes in the formation of massive galaxies and supermassive black holes (SMBHs) via gas rich mergers in the early Universe.

description: R/Shiny is one of the quickest ways to create simple user interfaces that allows users to explore and bring bioinformatics tools to a broad range of users. However, most of the Shiny applications are monolithic and run locally, where they are composed of a single folder containing App.R and simple to no deployment structure. While this model facilitates the fast prototyping of UI designs, it severely limits scalability and deployment of a high-end software-as-a-service (SaaS) application. Here we explore the technology stack that brought our Shiny App to an enterprise-grade solution. We list the components that are necessary for a successful deployment, including authentication , data sharing, monitoring, CI/CD, performance optimization, and collaboration across multiple teams. We also cover the modular structure that allows over 18 bioinformatics dashboards and tens of thousands of lines of code to work together and deliver in-depth omics data analytics. Omics Playground is an open source bioinformatics tool developed by BigOmics Analytics. The platform aims to accelerate tertiary analyses, reduce the time bioinformaticians spend on routine tasks, and allow biologists to interact with the data from their experiments and collaborate more efficiently.

Can the effect of behavioural activation on depressive symptoms in older adults be explained by accelerometer-assessed physical activity?

subject: behavioural activation physicaly activity accelerometer depression older adults

description: Janssen et al. 2023 showed that BA leads to significantly greater reductions in depressive symptoms compared to TAU at post-treatment. However, little is known about the working mechanisms of BA in older adults. Studies about late-life depression show that, like in younger adults, depression and physical activity (PA) are related later in life and both BA and PA are effective in treating depression (Dinas et al., 2011; Liao et al., 2016; Soucy et al., 2017). Where research in adults shows that moderate to vigorous exercise could have a therapeutic effect, research on older adults suggests that for this group ‘light’ to ‘moderate’ exercise might already be beneficial (Helgadóttir et al., 2015; Loprinzi, 2013; Stubbs et al., 2017). Depression in older adults is often times related to a sedentary lifestyle (Ciucurel & Iconaru, 2012; del Pozo Cruz et al., 2020; Schuch et al., 2018) and BA aims to increase the amount of rewarding activities in one’s life (Martell et al., 2013). Thus, even though BA does not specifically focus on physical activity, being more physically active might be a side effect of treatment. Therefore, this study focuses on the possible mediating effect of physical activity on the effect of behavioral activation on depressive symptoms in depressed older adults in primary care. First, we will investigate whether physical activity and depressive symptoms are correlated at baseline for older adults with clinically relevant depressive symptoms (i.e. a PHQ score >9). Second, we will investigate whether physical activity (light, and moderate to vigorous) and sedentary behavior (partially) explain the effect of BA on depression in comparison to TAU.

A note on entanglement entropy and regularization in holographic interface theories
Creators: name: Gutperle, Michael

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss the computation of holographic entanglement entropy for interface conformal field theories. The fact that globally well defined Fefferman-Graham coordinates are difficult to construct makes the regularization of the holographic theory challenging. We introduce a simple new cut-off procedure, which we call "double cut-off" regularization. We test the new cut-off procedure by comparing the results for holographic entanglement entropies using other cut-off procedures and find agreement. We also study three dimensional conformal field theories with a two dimensional interface. In that case the dual bulk geometry is constructed using warped geometry with an $AdS_3$ factor. We define an effective central charge to the interface through the Brown-Henneaux formula for the $AdS_3$ factor. We investigate two concrete examples, showing that the same effective central charge appears in the computation of entanglement entropy and governs the conformal anomaly.

description: We report the first all-optical production of a superfluid Bose-Fermi mixture with two spin states of $^6$Li (fermion) and one spin state of $^7$Li (boson) under the resonant magnetic field of the s-wave Feshbach resonance of the fermions. Fermions are cooled efficiently by evaporative cooling and they serve as coolant for bosons. As a result, a superfluid mixture can be achieved by using a simple experimental apparatus and procedures, as in the case of the all-optical production of a single Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). We show that the all-optical method enables us to realize variety of ultracold Bose-Fermi mixtures.

Assessment of Frequency of Vaginal Examination and Associated Factors by Health Care Providers During Normal Labour in Selected Public Hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Aberash, Eifa
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Background: The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) Intrapartum guidelines recommend that vaginal examination (VEs) should not be routinely performed and that women should be 'offered' a VE every four hours. Research has shown that the performance of multiple vaginal examinations can be a risk factor for maternal or fetal infection. Objectives: To assess the reasons and frequency of vaginal examination by health care providers during normal labour in selected public hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from April to May 2015 Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted and the study participants were health personnel who attend to labour cases in the selected public hospitals and clients with normal labour who consented to participate in the study during the study period were included. Study setting was selected purposively based on its client flow from the total public hospitals in Addis Ababa and convenience sampling technique was used for selecting study participants. Result: In this study the number of vaginal examination performed for each women ranges from one to seven (mean 2.24, SD 0.67), the majority of them were examined 3-4 times 93 (50.0%) during their labour time. The main reason given by health care providers to conduct vaginal examination was to check the onset of labour and to check progress of labour .Logistic regression analysis showed that 1-2 health care providers 0.043 times less likely had frequent vaginal examination when compared to 3-7 health care providers with adjusted OR 0.043; 95% CI (0.006, 0.330). Conclusion and recommendation: frequency of vaginal examination is mostly affected by number of health care providers who conduct VEs and duration of labour. So, vaginal examination should have performed only when it is necessary by following WHO guidelines. Keywords: Vaginal examinations; Progress in labour; health care provider; Labour

Landscape conflicts and the making of contemporary European societies: a dialogue with Olaf Kühne
Creators: name: Kühne, Olaf
name: Bellini, Andrea
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2020

description: This article reflects on the ways “landscape conflicts” are likely to shape contemporary European societies. Based on an interview with Olaf Kühne, a German geographer with a strong background in sociology, the article first outlines the underlying theoretical framework, drawing on social constructivism and Dahrendorf’s conflict theory. The load-bearing axis is the idea that landscape is a social construction and, as such, constitutes a source of conflict. Conflicts basically revolve around an emerging “environmental dilemma” concerning the ostensible necessity of choosing between the energy transition and landscape conservation. However, these should be seen as “productive” conflicts in that they serve to foster social progress. The authors then reflect on the role nation-states and the European Union play in enacting regulation as part of landscape governance.

description: Children are keen consumers of audiovisual media content. Video-sharing platforms (VSPs), such as YouTube and TikTok, offer a wealth of child-friendly or child-appropriate content but also content which – depending on the age of the child – might be considered inappropriate or potentially harmful. Moreover, such VSPs often deploy algorithmic recommender systems to personalise the content that children are exposed to (e.g. through auto-play features), leading to concerns about diversity of content or spirals of content related to, for instance, eating disorders or self-harm. This article explores the responsibilities of VSPs in respect of children that are imposed by existing, recently adopted and proposed EU legislation. Instruments that we investigate include the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the Digital Services Act, the General Data Protection Regulation and the proposal for an Artificial Intelligence Act. Based on a legal study of policy documents, legislation, and scholarship, this contribution investigates to what extent this legislative framework sets obligations for video-sharing platforms to safeguard children’s rights and discusses how these obligations align across different legislative instruments.

description: Using an expansion in large number of dimensions, taken to subleading orders, we discuss several issues concerning the Gregory-Laflamme instabilities. We map out the phase diagram of neutral and charged black strings, and comment on the possible transition in the nature of the final state of the instability at higher order in the 1/D expansion. We also discuss unstable black membranes, and show that in certain limits the preferred shape of the non-uniform phase is a triangular lattice.

description: We investigate the optical transmission spectra for $s$-polarized (TE) and $p$-polarized (TM) waves in one-dimensional photonic quasicrystals on a quasiperiodic multilayer structure made up by alternate layers of SiO$_{2}$ and \textit{metamaterials}, organized by following the Octonacci sequence. Maxwell's equations and the transfer-matrix technique are used to derive the transmission spectra for the propagation of normaly and obliquely incident optical fields. We assume Drude-Lorentz-type dispersive response for the dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability of the metamaterials. For normally incident waves, we observe that the spectra does not have self-similar behavior or mirror symmetry and it also features the absence of optical band gap. Also for normally incident waves, we show regions of full transmittance when the incident angle $θ_{C} = 0^{\circ}$ in a particular frequency range.

description: The anomia’s concept created by Merton (1949), offers us an analysis of the behavioral models that individuals adopt in order to adapt themselves or even to refuse the society’s cultural values. On this basis, some categories of subjects (the identity) that have adopted deviant behavioral models have been taken into consideration. On the other hand, this has finally lead us onto an analysis of the places that host these types of behavior. Taking on consideration further sociological theories that explain the relationship between identity and territory (Raffestin, 1981; Remotti, 1996; Isenburg, 2000; Sayad, 2002; Boni, 2005; Calandra, 2007; Elliott e Lemert, 2007; Bauman, 2009; D’Alessandro, 2009; D’Ascenzo, 2014; Salisci, 2018), a research is been carried out on identity and it’s invisible and split areas; people and spaces socially forgotten, isolated from the official’s United States society and geography. Identity and it’s invisible and split areas, is first defined and then, classified using a taxonomy. Many are the objectives of this means: reaffirm how actual the Mertonian’s Theory still is; identify the endogenous and exogenous factors of the fenomenon; certify a misrepresented perception of the american’s dream idea.

The Essence of Gravitation and the Power of Cosmic expansion
Creators: name: han, runguang
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2022
Subjects: General relativity and gravitational waves

description: Why all things attract each other, what is the essence of gravitation, why the universe constantly expands, what is the power of the expansion of the universe? These problems have been perplexing the scientific community. The explanation of gravity in general relativity is not perfect and the theory does not explain the physical meaning of the gravitational constant G. Scientists use dark energy to explain the expansion of the universe, but there is no clear answer to what dark energy is. Based on the scientific achievements of The Big Bang Theory, quark model and Parton model, this paper puts forward the theory of fluid gravity, deduces a new gravity formula, and reveals the essence of universal gravity and the driving force of cosmic expansion. The fluid gravity formula can be transformed into Newton's gravity formula. It is concluded that the gravity constant G is a slowly changing quantity, the gravity of celestial bodies is limited and may not form a real black hole, and the current total density of the universe is greater than the critical density. The theory predicts that gravity can be partially shielded.

description: This study aims to contribute to our understanding of the factors and processes that lead scientists to engage in public communication. Using a large and national sample of academics from all Italian public universities and from all disciplines, this study identifies two different kinds of scientific communication activities and a typology of civic scientist on the basis of intensity and quality of engagement. Moreover, the study identifies some factors – discipline, age, gender and seniority – that contribute to define the different kinds of civic scientist and explain why for analysing the public engagement of academics, it is necessary to consider the different logic of actors involved in every kind of activities of communication, particularly in mass media activities and in local community activities.

Scienza e società: sinergie e criticità nell’era digitale

description: In the historical season of communicative and existential immateriality, man must necessarily abandon his solipsistic immobility to embrace collaborative sharing. A new condition that completely changes anthropic sociality, makes it strongly participatory, both at a structural level and at a purely emotional level. Science acts as a catalyst and contextualizing spark for this process, through its different forms, acting as a unifying element between tradition and innovation. Internet, in this sex, acts as a communicative tool of this union, neutralizing the spatial and temporal dimension, systematically updating processes of socialization and collaboration that provide a representation of reality, both scientific and social, sometimes congruent and true, others deeply sweetened and fictitious. In the first case, this simulacrum of the real as such is useful and aimed at the establishment and increase of a collective intelligence that uses different contributions and hetero-directed, in the second, however, delivers a false vision, factious, functional to other purposes that relate to the persuasion fidelizing, betraying, in fact, the very essence of the scientific mission.

Instabilities and oscillations in coagulation equations with kernels of homogeneity one

description: We discuss the long-time behaviour of solutions to Smoluchowski's coagulation equation with kernels of homogeneity one, combining formal asymptotics, heuristic arguments based on linearization, and numerical simulations. The case of what we call diagonally dominant kernels is particularly interesting. Here one expects that the long-time behaviour is, after a suitable change of variables, the same as for the Burgers equation. However, for kernels that are close to the diagonal one we obtain instability of both, constant solutions and traveling waves and in general no convergence to N-waves for integrable data. On the other hand, for kernels not close to the diagonal one these structures are stable, but the traveling waves have strong oscillations. This has implications on the approach towards an N-wave for integrable data, which is also characterized by strong oscillations near the shock front.
