Masterarbeit

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit ist aufgrund des Masterstudiums „Schulische Heilpädagogik“ entstanden. Sie befasst sich mit der Berufszufriedenheit der Schulischen Heilpädagoginnen und Heilpädagogen an der Regel-Sekundarschule. Mehrere Studien belegen, dass die Berufszufriedenheit ein massgebender Faktor für die Mitarbeiterleistung ist und grossen Einfluss auf den Erfolg der entsprechenden Organisation, in unserem Fall die Schule, hat. In einer empirischen Untersuchung wurde mittels Interviews erforscht, inwiefern Rahmenbedingungen und unterstützende Massnahmen dazu beitragen, dass die Schulischen Heilpädagoginnen und Heilpädagogen ihren Arbeitsauftrag zufrieden ausführen können. Der Fokus wurde dabei vor allem auf jene Faktoren gelegt, welche für die Berufszufriedenheit förderlich sind. Neben den gemeindeeigenen Bestimmungen haben die kantonale Gesetzgebung, die integrative Haltung aller an der Schule Beteiligten und die Grösse der Schule Einfluss auf die Berufszufriedenheit. Die qualitativ erhobenen und ausgewerteten Daten zeigen auf, dass im Schulbereich die Arbeitsbedingungen optimiert werden können. Dringender Handlungsbedarf besteht zurzeit jedoch nur punktuell.

description: Background: .Louse- borne relapsing fever (LBRF) is an acute febrile illness caused by Borrelia recurrentis and is transmitted by body lice, (Pediculus humanus corporis). In February, 2016 a LBRF outbreak was reported from Mekele and we investigated the outbreak to confirm it, identify risk factors, and implement public health control measures. Methods: Controls were chosen by individual matching to cases on age group, and sex (1:2, or 21 cases and 42 controls) to control confounding factors; investigation was conducted from 8th-25th, February 2016. All cases 21(100%) were reported from Mekele and a predesigned questionnaire was used for data collection .Data were checked for completeness, coded and analyzed using SPSS version 21. P < 0.05 was considered significant for comparison. Results: We identified a total of 21 LBRF cases and no deaths (CFR=0.0%) Mean age of 16.9- year [ranging: 15 - 20-year]. All cases 21(100%) were males street or homeless people with overall AR=8/100,000 Population. Multivariate analysis showed that more than six people sleeping to gather or mass sleeping [Adjusted Odds Ratio [(AOR) =15.9, 95% CI (4.793_60.155)] with P-value 0.002 were independent risk factors for LBRF among streets or homeless males in Mekele city. Conclusions:-In Mekele, LBRF is still an important health problem. Poor personal hygiene among street, overcrowding (close contact), not taking bath and lack of alternative clothes might contribute to increase the magnitude of the outbreak. Therefore, health education should be delivered towards LBRF prevention in the city.
title: The design, construction, installation, and calibration of a new geomagnetic observatory at Arrival Heights, Antarctica

description: GNS Science was contracted by Antarctica New Zealand to help protect the integrity of the long-term dataset recorded at Scott Base geomagnetic observatory (SBA) in connection with the Scott Base Redevelopment (SBR) project. In this science report, we summarise the work GNS Science conducted with the support of Antarctica New Zealand during the three-year SBA Relocation project. A suitable alternative location to which to relocate the observatory was recommended. The planning and construction of the two new geomagnetic observatory huts was complex as it needed to meet INTERMAGNET standards in addition to taking Antarctic environmental and health and safety requirements into account. The tight timeline set by the SBR schedule and the COVID-19 pandemic created another layer of complexity. The deployment of scientific instrumentation and the calibration measurements were conducted over two separate field trips. The winter months in between allowed us to identify problems around the two huts, which still needed to be resolved before the final calibration. The collaboration with a Geoscience Australia geomagnetic observatory expert contributed immensely to a successful outcome. The new SBA has been operational to INTERMAGNET standards at Arrival Heights since 1 January 2023 (auth)

description: Self-bound many-body systems are formed through a balance of attractive and repulsive forces and occur in many physical scenarios. Liquid droplets are an example of a self-bound system, formed by a balance of the mutual attractive and repulsive forces that derive from different components of the inter-particle potential. It has been suggested that self-bound ensembles of ultracold atoms should exist for atom number densities that are 10^8 times lower than in a helium droplet, which is formed from a dense quantum liquid. However, such ensembles have been elusive up to now because they require forces other than the usual zero-range contact interaction, which is either attractive or repulsive but never both. On the basis of the recent finding that an unstable bosonic dipolar gas can be stabilized by a repulsive many-body term, it was predicted that three-dimensional self-bound quantum droplets of magnetic atoms should exist. Here we report the observation of such droplets in a trap-free levitation field. We find that this dilute magnetic quantum liquid requires a minimum, critical number of atoms, below which the liquid evaporates into an expanding gas as a result of the quantum pressure of the individual constituents. Consequently, around this critical atom number we observe an interaction-driven phase transition between a gas and a self-bound liquid in the quantum degenerate regime with ultracold atoms. These droplets are the dilute counterpart of strongly correlated self-bound systems such as atomic nuclei and helium droplets.
Chromospheric emission of planet candidate systems - a way to identify false positives

description: It has been hypothesized that the presence of closely orbiting giant planets is associated with enhanced chromospheric emission of their host stars. The main cause for such a relation would likely be enhanced dynamo action induced by the planet. We present measurements of chromospheric emission in 234 planet candidate systems from the Kepler mission. This ensemble includes 37 systems with giant planet candidates, which show a clear emission enhancement. The enhancement, however, disappears when systems which are also identified as eclipsing binary candidates are removed from the ensemble. This suggests that a large fraction of the giant planet candidate systems with chromospheric emission stronger than the Sun are not giant planet system, but false positives. Such false-positive systems could be tidally interacting binaries with strong chromospheric emission. This hypotesis is supported by an analysis of 188 eclipsing binary candidates that show increasing chromospheric emission as function of decreasing orbital period.

description: This case contro l s t udy was conducted on a sample of 1000 users o f servi ces of hea lth stations (cases) and 1000 n on-users of the s e r v i ces (controls) during the study period whi ch was between October 17 and November 26 1988. The study was done in 6 randomly selected health stations and vi llages within a 5 km radius of the health stations in Yererna Kereyu Awraja, central Ethiopia, where the author is the district health manager . The ma jor objective of the stud y was to determine factors influencing the utilization of health stations in the Awraja. Information from the study population ",as col l ec t e d on different factors which possibly affect u ti li z ation, including demographic factors , such as age, sex, occupation, ethnici ty and education ; Socio- cul t ural f actors, such as people's a ttitude toward t he heal t h wori{ers and services; and economic status of the people. The mean age of the study population was 20.8 years and 60 . 9% of the subjects were women. Farmers constituted 53. 3%, the Oromo ethnic group 59.7% and the literacy rate was 48.3%. Case contro l analys e s of the 2 groups showed that non-utilizers were more likely t han u ti li zers to come from the younger or older age groups, to be f emal e, to be a farmer, to be from vii the Dromo ethnic group, & to have a low e r level of education . There was also a differ ence between cases and controls in p e rce ived travel time to the h ealth units, perceived quality of the serv ices, knowl e dge about free services, knoHl edge about the importance , and availability of some of the services, and the income pattern. There was no significant difference between the users and non-users with regard to religion, marital status of the respondents, or who advised the individuals to use or not to use the services. These differences indicate a need to teach communi ties about health & health services and to reduce socio-cultural barriers to utilization of the services. viii

description: Background: -Maternal death from preventable causes related to pregnancy and child birth is unacceptably high. Institutional delivery plays an important role to avert maternal death from such causes. Only16% of women delivered at health facility by 2014 in Ethiopia. Therefore, themainaim of this study is toassess the magnitude and determinantsof utilization of institutional delivery among mothers who utilized antenatal carein SodoWoredaGurage Zone, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in selected kebele of SodoworedaGurage zone. By using systematic sampling technique, a total of 559 eligible mothers were included in the study. The data were collected using interviewer administered structured questionnaire. Data were entered into EPI data 7.0 computer programs and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Crude and adjusted odds ratios were calculated through simple and binominal multiple logistic regressions model. Result: Out of the 559 respondents, only 366 (65.5%) gave birth to their last child at health facility.Maternal educational statusAOR =5.52;95% CI; 1.45, 20.94,time travel on foot from the nearbyhealth centerAOR = 3.57; 95% CI; 1.57, 8.19],number of ANC visits at last pregnancyAOR = 4.54; 95% CI; 2.00, 10.31, autonomy to decide their place of delivery lonely or jointly with their husband AOR = CI; 4.10, 14.08, and accessibility of transportation serviceAOR =2.65;95% CI; 1.67, 4.20were found to be significantly associated with the institutional delivery service utilization. Conclusion:The institutional delivery rate in this study was higher than the national and regional report by 2014 but less compare to ANC usersto this study area. The major factors that were significantly associated with this low utilization of institutional delivery were maternal level of education , time taken to reach the nearby by health facility, maternal autonomy on deciding place of delivery, accessibility of transportation and the frequency of ANC Information, education, communication, and empowering mothers is essential, and could help them in decision making regarding their own health, being committed to use the services and able to persuade their partner and family members if they encountered opposition.And expansion of facility delivery & transport service to address the need of mothers
Spheroidal harmonic expansions for the solution of Laplace's equation for a point source near a sphere

description: We propose a powerful approach to solve Laplace's equation for point sources near a spherical object. The central new idea is to use prolate spheroidal solid harmonics, which are separable solutions of Laplace's equation in spheroidal coordinates, instead of the more natural spherical solid harmonics. We motivate this choice and show that the resulting series expansions converge much faster. This improvement is discussed in terms of the singularity of the solution and its analytic continuation. The benefits of this approach are illustrated for a specific example: the calculation of modified decay rates of light emitters close to nanostructures in the long-wavelength approximation. We expect the general approach to be applicable with similar benefits to a variety of other contexts, from other geometries to other equations of mathematical physics.

Creators: name: Haddis, Kibebework
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background: Among the factors which affect Infants and Young Children (IYC) feeding practice, mothers' values for food choices are crucial. Mothers' food choice may depend on the value of the food for health, mental development, weight, nutritional content and cost of the food. There is limited evidence on mothers' values for food choice of their IYC and their association with dietary diversity. Objective: To evaluate the value mothers give for health, mental development, weight, nutritional content and cost of food when choosing food for their IYC from 6-23 months and its association with the dietary diversity, in Addis Ababa. Method: A community based cross - sectional study was conducted from March 04 - April 22, 2017 in Addis Ababa. We used a multi stage sampling technique and included 605 mothers of index child (6-23 months). Data were collected by using structured and pretested questionnaire that include mothers' values (health, mental development, weight, nutritional content of food and cost of food) for choosing their IYC food using Likert scale and 24 hours dietary recall prior to interview. Data was entered to Epi_data version 3.1 then exported to stata/se 14.0 for analysis. The factors which had association with dietary diversity in the bivariate analysis and mothers' values were considered for multivariate analysis to evaluate the association between mothers' values and the dietary diversity. Result: It was observed that 58.4% of mothers either strongly or moderately scored the five values (health, mental development, weight, nutritional content of food and cost of food). From the rating of mothers' values, a highest mean value of 3.23 was found for health followed by mental development with a mean value of 3.13. In this study, 61.5% of mothers practiced minimum dietary diversity. From the multivariate analysis result, mothers' values for health and mental development while choosing food for their IYC were significantly associated with the minimum dietary diversity having AOR[CI] of 4.39[1.34, 14.39] and 4.29[1.25, 16.45], respectively. Mothers' either strong or moderate score for the five values as a whole was significantly associated with the minimum dietary diversity of their IYC. Conclusion: Mothers' food choice for their IYC was found to depend on the value they give for health, mental development, weight, nutritional content of food and cost of food. Mothers' strong/moderate score for health and mental development values were found to be predictors of dietary diversity. Increasing the awareness of mothers on the food values when choosing food for their IYC, can be one way of improving dietary diversity feeding practice.

description: Recently synthesized NdFe12N has excellent magnetic properties, while it is thermodynamically unstable. Using first-principles method, we study the effect of substitutional 3d transition metal elements to the mother compound NdFe12. We find that Co has positive effect on the stability of the ThMn12 structure. In contrast with Ti substitution, Co substitution does not reduce the magnetization significantly. The crystal field parameter A_{0}^{2} is nearly unchanged by Co substitution, and nitrogenation to NdFe11Co greatly enhances A_{0}^{2}. This suggests that Co is a good candidate as a substitutional element for NdFe12N.

Sie ist ausschlaggebend bei der Sinngebung von Gesagtem und daher relevant für den Verstehensprozess des Zuhörers. Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der Frage nach, ob Gebärdensprachdolmetschende ein Voiceprodukt gleich intonieren wie einen vorgelesenen oder spontansprachlich nacherzählten Text, basierend auf Stichwortangaben – alle gleichen Inhalts. Es werden Texte analysiert, die unter verschiedenen Rahmenbedingungen erstellt wurden, in ihren Melodieverläufen auf ihre intonatorischen Endungen. Es zeigt sich, dass Dolmetschende in einem Voiceprodukt weniger fallende Endungen produzieren, dafür vermehrt steigende oder gleich bleibende Endungen intonieren, im Vergleich zu Texten, die gelesen oder spontansprachlich erstellt werden.

description: We present a high-quality hard X-ray spectrum of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) NGC 5643 X-1 measured with NuSTAR in May-June 2014. We have obtained this spectrum by carefully separating the signals from the ULX and from the active nucleus of its host galaxy NGC 5643 located 0.8 arcmin away. Together with long XMM-Newton observations performed in July 2009 and August 2014, the NuSTAR data confidently reveal a high-energy cutoff in the spectrum of NGC 5643 X-1 above ~10 keV, which is a characteristic signature of ULXs. The NuSTAR and XMM-Newton data are consistent with the source having a constant luminosity ~1.5E40 erg/s (0.2-12 keV) in all but the latest observation (August 2014) when it brightened to ~3E40 erg/s. This increase is associated with the dominant, hard spectral component (presumably collimated emission from the inner regions of a supercritical accretion disc), while an additional, soft component (with a temperature ~0.3 keV if described by multicolor disk emission), possibly associated with a massive wind outflowing from the disk, is also evident in the spectrum but does not exhibit significant variability.

description: In 2004, Muzereau et al. showed how to use a reduction algorithm of the discrete logarithm problem to Diffie-Hellman problem in order to estimate lower bound on Diffie-Hellman problem on elliptic curves. They presented their estimates for various elliptic curves that are used in practical applications. In this paper, we show that a much tighter lower bound for Diffie-Hellman problem on those curves can be achieved, if one uses the multiplicative group of a finite field as an auxiliary group. Moreover, improved lower bound estimates on Diffie-Hellman problem for various recommended curves are also given which are the tightest; thus, leading us towards the equivalence of Diffie-Hellman problem and the discrete logarithm problem for these recommended elliptic curves.

Performing Brownian Dynamics (BD) simulations for a wide range of parameters, supplemented by a stability analysis based on dynamical density functional theory (DDFT), we identify generic features of lane formation in presence of attraction, including structural properties. In fact, we find a variety of states (as compared to purely repulsive systems), as well as a close relation between laning and long wavelength instabilities of the homogeneous phase such as demixing and condensation.

Creators: name: Mulatu, Hirut
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Back ground: Low birth weight is a public health problem in almost all countries of the world of which Ethiopia is one. The empirical literature provides mixed results on the relationship between many of these factors and LBW. Some of the variables that are found to be predicator of LBW in one study may not necessarily be a risk factor in another study. Objective: The main objective of this study is to assess the magnitude and factors associated with low birth weight at public hospitals of Addis Ababa from August 2014 to June 2015. Methods: Hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted in Addis Ababa. The study was conducted among three selected hospitals. A total of 457 samples were drown proportionally from the selected hospitals. Pre tested structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used. The collected data was cleaned, coded, and entered into EPI INFO and then exported to SPSS version 21.0 for analysis. Result: The magnitude of low birth weight was 8.8%. Low birth weight was more likely associated with timing of ANC visit (AOR=7.407, 95% CI=1.148, 47.794), taking extra meal during pregnancy (AOR=0.249, 95%CI=0.064, 0.960), type of pregnancy (AOR=0.302, 95% CI=0.094, 0.972) and iron/folic acid supplementation (AOR=0.30295%CI=0.092, 0.972). Conclusion and recommendation: Low birth weight was substantial and strengthening the public health intervention that put into consideration the factors identified here are essential.

description: In this article we investigate the algebra and geometry of dihedral covers of smooth algebraic varieties. To this aim we first describe the Weil divisors and the Picard group of divisorial sheaves on normal double covers. Then we provide a structure theorem for dihedral covers, that is, given a smooth variety Y, we describe the algebraic "building data" on Y which are equivalent to the existence of such covers X --> Y. We introduce then two special very explicit classes of dihedral covers: the simple and the almost simple dihedral covers, and we determine their basic invariants. For the simple dihedral covers we also determine their natural deformations. In the last section we give an application to fundamental groups.

description: Background: Adolescents transit into adulthood with conflicting and confusing messages about sexuality and gender. They lack adequate information and preparation on sexual and reproductive health (SRH), which leaves them vulnerable to risky sexual behavior, coercion, abuse and exploitation which intern exposes them to unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV/AIDS. Objective: To assess the association between Comprehensive Sexual Education and Adolescents' Risky Sexual Behavior among In School Adolescents in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Method: The study used a cross sectional study design with internal comparison to assess the association between Comprehensive Sexuality Education and Risky Sexual Behavior. Gullelie sub city was purposively sampled as it was the only sub city that had Comprehensive Sexuality Education given to students. The study was conducted from November 2016-June 2017. Data were collected using structured self-administered questionnaires which was pre-tested on 30 students from non-selected but similar school in the sub city. The collected data were entered into Epi Info version 7 and cleaned before transferring the data to Stata Version 14 for analysis. Bivariate analysis was done to see the association of each independent variable with the outcome variable. Variables with P-Value of <0.25 were considered for multiple logistic regression analysis. In addition to text description, tables and graphs were used to summarize and present the data. Result: A total of 383 students participated in the study with a response rate of 98.2% The mean age (±SD) of the respondents is 16±1.4. From the total respondents, 61 (16.1%) adolescents had already started having sexual intercourse of which 48 (88.9%) had early initiation of sex. Prevalence of risky sexual behavior among respondents is 15%. From the total respondents, 27.4 % took Comprehensive Sexuality Education and it is found to be protective against risky sexual behavior putting those who did not take CSE at odds of [AOR=2.82 95% CI [1.02-7.75].The study revealed that gender, having friends with the experience of sexual activity, perceived parental control, watch pornographic movies, exposure to CSE were found to affect risky sexual behavior among the study participants Conclusion and conclusion: CSE has a positive effect on preventing adolecents risky sexual behavior. Watching pornographic movies and having friends with sexual experience were drivers of high risk sexual behavior while parental control, and exposure to CSE were protecting against risky sexual behavior development. According to the result of this research it is recommended that CSE be given on a larger scale.

description: Assessing student submissions and providing accurate and timely feedback in educational courses that involve writing code has shown to be demanding. Thus, we recently designed an automated test system that builds submitted code, runs it on the actual target hardware, and generates a report that may include the results of various measurement devices. After a successful test run in the Real-Time Operating Systems course, we aim to adopt our ATTEST test system in further courses spanning the whole system stack. A unified testing solution benefits students by lowering extraneous cognitive load and supervisors by reducing maintenance effort. This work-in-progress paper states why test cases remain an essential assessment technique, summarizes approaches to virtualize laboratory courses, and elaborates on the coursespecific testing requirements and expected outcomes.

description: Byte-addressable non-volatile memory is essentially persistent, but slower main memory that needs to be managed accordingly. Typical memory allocators for volatile memory are highly efficient today, but usually never had to be designed to keep their state in main memory consistent at all times against the background of system crashes. In this paper we present NVall, a crash-resistant kernel-level memory allocator for non-volatile RAM (NVRAM). The allocator works in a transactional manner, uses existing volatile memory to improve the performance of normal operation and is able to recover its volatile state from persistent data after a system crash. We implemented the allocator for the FreeBSD kernel and compare its performance against the standard (non-crash-resistant) in-kernel allocator of FreeBSD.

description: Optical tracking was used to characterize acoustic radiation force (ARF) induced displacements in a tissue-mimicking phantom. Amplitude modulated (AM) 3.3 MHz ultrasound was used to induce ARF in the phantom which was embedded with 10 μm microspheres that were tracked using a microscope objective and high speed camera. For sine and square AM the harmonic components of the fundamental and second and third harmonic frequencies were measured. The displacement amplitudes were found to increase linearly with ARF up to 10 μm with sine modulation having 19.5% lower peak-to-peak amplitude values than square modulation. Square modulation produced almost no second harmonic but energy was present in the third harmonic. For the sine modulation energy was present in the second harmonic and low energy in the third harmonic. A finite element model was used to simulate the deformation and was both qualitatively and quantitatively in agreement with the measurements.

description: The problem of time-dependent particle transport in quantum conductors is nowadays a well established topic. In contrast, the way in which energy and heat flow in mesoscopic systems subjected to dynamical drivings is a relatively new subject that cross-fertilize both fundamental developments of quantum thermodynamics and practical applications in nanoelectronics and quantum information. In this short review, we discuss from a thermodynamical perspective recent investigations on nonstationary heat and work generated in quantum systems, emphasizing open questions and unsolved issues.

Assessment of Intention and Practice of VCT And Infant Feeding In the Context of HIV/AIDs Among Lactating Mothers in Harar Town
Creators: name: Assegid, Meselech
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2006

description: Introduction: - Mother-to-child transmission of HIV is the most significant route of HIV infection in children and by far the largest source of HIV infection in children below the age of 15 years Objectives: - the aim of this study was to assess current practices and future intention of lactating mothers on VCT and infant feeding in relation to prevention of MTCT of HIV in Harar town. Methods: - A community based cross sectional quantitative survey supplemented with a qualitative method was conducted from January to February 2006 using standardized questionnaire, among lactating mothers in Harar town selected using probability proportional to size. Results: - Lactating mothers had good knowledge of HIV/AIDS but fair knowledge on MTCT and PMTCT of HIV. Intention to undergo VCT had significant association with knowledge about PMTCT. Practices of VCT had significant association with age of mothers, parity, frequency of ANC check-up, HIV knowledge, PMTCT knowledge and attitude towards PLWHA. Conclusion: - There is a high intention to undergo VCT whereas only few mothers have undergone the test, indicating a wide gap between intention and practice. The mothers' breast feeding practice in the context of HIV and nutrition is risky as suboptimal breast feeding practices are widespread. Recommendation: - Increasing utilization of MTCT, PMTCT, and VCT including optimal infant feeding requires IEC and BCC. Information, Education Communication (IEC) and Behavioural Change Communication (BCC) on VCT, MTCT, PMTCT and infant feeding shall be strengthened. Establish communication/ referral network between health facilities and organizations working on HIV/AIDS, vi i working towards alleviating the problem that social stigma poses on mothers' adoption of safer infant feeding options to prevent MTCT of HIV and full day VCT services shall be made available for mothers seeking delivery services in hospitals to minimize missed opportunities.
