description: Every week brings a new headline about AI, or ‘artificial intelligence’. Major search engines and social networks are competing to integrate AI, despite serious concerns about inaccurate results from AI chat bots. In the last year alone, significantly improved AI, machine learning (ML) and data science tools have changed how information is processed and generated. ML and data science methods have the potential to connect library collections, and to enable better discoverability and support innovative research. But libraries, archives and museums (GLAMs) face challenges in finding resources to meet AI-hyped expectations, and in implementing new forms of information provenance and digital preservation. How will changes in AI externally change expectations about GLAMs? And how can we build on what we already know about the role of technologies in cultural organisations to think strategically about integrating AI into GLAM work?

Decolonising the Nile River: Colonial Agreements as Impediments to Sustainable Basin-wide Cooperation
Creators: name: Mekonnen, Teferi
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2021

description: Attempts at resolving the two major problems in the history of the Nile waters issue, i.e. equitable Nile waters resource apportionment and the formation of a Basin-wide organisation to the benefit of all riparian states of the river, have largely failed. This paper argues that the disagreement over the utilisation of the Nile waters arises mainly from the 1929 and 1959 agreements that gave Egypt and the Sudan extensive rights over the river’s water. These agreements have been at the heart of the struggle over the Nile waters between Egypt and the Sudan, on one side, and the other upper riparian states, on the other. Egypt and the Sudan saw the agreements as historical legacies to be maintained, like colonial boundaries which African states inherited from colonialism, without modification in perpetuity. On the other hand, other upstream countries see Nile agreements as colonial relics and demand their right to a fair and equitable share of the Nile waters. This paper argues for decolonising the Nile River and fostering the cooperation of all riparian states in the spirit of Pan-Africanism. Therefore, urgent and concrete steps should be taken to revise all agreements of the colonial period and the 1959 Nile Waters Agreement, and to renegotiate a new Nile Waters Agreement to accommodate the interests of all riparian states. This agreement should be based on internationally accepted principles and commitment to a win-win solution.

The Kingdom of Damot: Mythical Narratives versus Historical Realities
Creators: name: Bayu, Yeshambel Kindie
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2021

description: As indicated in medieval and pre-modern sources, Damot was one of the kingdoms of medieval Ethiopia. This kingdom was the largest and richest among kingdoms of Ethiopia. Unfortunately, the location of Damot was mistakenly recorded as if it was south of Abbay by later writers. The history of the people in general and its rulers in particular were defamed by hagiographers as pagans and evils. Curiously enough, some historians even today are entirely reluctant to acknowledge that Damot-proper was located north of Abbay in presentdayWest Gojjam. This paper attempted to exhaustively examine both primary and secondary sources and avers that the name Damot was associated with territories north of Abbay but provinces located south of Abbay had been identified by local names such as Bizamo, Gafat and Conch. Likewise, allegations of hagiographers that the people of Damot north of Abbay were pagans in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries are virtually untrue.

description: Social movements are known to be great advocates of inclusivity. With the world’s considerable commitment to promoting social inclusion as contained in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the importance of social movements has been reinvigorated. Absent in the literature, however, is student minority ethnic movements’ role in promoting social inclusion in Ghana. This qualitative study provides an exploratory assessment of the roles of functional student minority ethnic groups in promoting equality among students of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, from the perspective of movement members and their patrons. By relying on the qualitative-exploratory research design, in-depth interviews were conducted with 8 participants [comprising of members (3), executives (3) and patrons (2)] of three selected functional student minority ethnic groups (National Association of Nzema Students [NANS], Volta Region Students’ Association [VORSA] and Dagomba Students Association [DASA]) in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology between April 24, 2020 and May 7, 2020. Data were thematically analysed and normative standpoints of participants were presented as quotations. The main findings were that the groups were formed to engender development and promote inclusion in varied forms across the different ethnic groups they represent. They have accomplished these through promoting gender, income, ethnic and spatial dimensions of inclusion by undertaking an array of activities. The ethnic social movements hold prospects for the development and promotion of inclusivity and equality. Nonetheless, these groups are confronted with issues of member apathy and financial constraints, thus hindering their efforts in implementing their programmes and activities. In tandem with the framing theory, leaders of the movements have a task to present or “frame” the core values held by people it seeks to recruit by branding the movements in a way that appeals to them and fulfils their deeply held values.

description: The final part offers disciplinary approaches towards the working group’s notion of ‘mobility’. Research outlook are presented from a historical (6.1), natural-science (6.2) and socialscience (6.3) perspective respectively. On the one hand, this reveals the terminological and
methodological differences that were perceived as obstacles during the interdisciplinary dialogue.
On the other hand, this discussion is elementary to the practical interdisciplinary work, documenting how individual and selective perceptions shaped the group work in a transparent way.

description: Droughts originate from deficiency in precipitation over extended periods of time and affect approximately 60% of the world‘s population. They are the major obstacle to viable rain-fed agriculture. The study was undertaken to investigate the magnitude, frequency and trends of drought incidents in lowlands of the Borana Zone, southern Ethiopia from 1987 to 2017. Coefficient of variation, standard precipitation index, Mann–Kendal test, and Drought Index Calculator were used to analyse the rainfall data. The SPI for the main rainy season, short rainy season and annual period were computed. Accordingly, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2015 and 2016 were drought periods in the study area. During the 1987-2017 period, almost 50% of the period faced drought and the year 2006 saw the most severe and extreme drought episode in the study area with SPI value of -2.14 at El-Woye and -2.01 at Yabello. Except for the annual rainfall CV at Yabello, which is 21.2% medium variability, the short and main rainfall seasons CV of both Yabello and El-Woye as well as the annual rainfall of El-Woye showed high rainfall variability as the CV value is over 30%. However, all timescales, except the two-month timescale at ElWoye, were statistically insignificant (p<0.05). Tendencies of drought during the main rainy season were observed to increase while for that of the short rainy season the annual scale of the Borana area showed a decreasing trend. Therefore, stakeholders at local, regional and national levels are required to take proper adaptive and mitigating measures and forecasting systems to advance warning and proactive actions in favor of the communities and the environment and the region in particular and elsewhere at large. Continuous and persistent drought monitoring is essential to determine when droughts begin and end. Further studies in relation to using SPI as a standalone method of drought analysis and interpretation are recommended for further conformity to the scenario of the environment. Such studies are important to refine the existing knowledge for proper representation of the study area.

description: We investigate sets of random variables that can be arranged sequentially such that a given variable only depends conditionally on its immediate predecessor. For such sets, we show that the full joint probability distribution may be expressed exclusively in terms of uni- and bivariate marginals. Under the assumption that the CMB power spectrum likelihood only exhibits correlations within a banded multipole range, Δl, we apply this expression to two outstanding problems in CMB likelihood analysis. First, we derive a statistically well-defined hybrid likelihood estimator, merging two independent (e.g., low- and high-l) likelihoods into a single expression that properly accounts for correlations between the two. Applying this expression to the WMAP likelihood, we verify that the effect of correlations on cosmological parameters in the transition region is negligible in terms of cosmological parameters for WMAP; the largest relative shift seen for any parameter is 0.06σ. However, because this may not hold for other experimental setups (e.g., for different instrumental noise properties or analysis masks), but must rather be verified on a case-by-case basis, we recommend our new hybridization scheme for future experiments for statistical self-consistency reasons. Second, we use the same expression to improve the convergence rate of the Blackwell-Rao likelihood estimator, reducing the required number of Monte Carlo samples by several orders of magnitude, and thereby extend it to high-l applications.

description: Kurz gefasst:
Eine existenzsichernde Pauschalzahlung für jede und jeden in der Höhe von mindestens 1.000 Euro – als Alternative zu Erwerbsarbeit bzw. Arbeitslosigkeit, und das bedingungslos? Dieses Konzept macht wieder einmal die Runde.
Die nachstehende Analyse kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass von „Bedingungslosigkeit“ keine Rede sein kann: Die erforderliche gigantische Umverteilung des Sozialprodukts ist nur um den Preis eines Abbaus des Sozialstaats zu realisieren. In diese Richtung zielen ausdrücklich die neoliberalen Modelle eines Grundeinkommens – in allerdings weitaus geringerer Höhe. Erwerbstätigkeit wird dann zwar nicht administrativ eingefordert, aber faktisch erzwungen, um überhaupt überleben zu können.
Statt diesen Weg zu beschreiten, sollte an einer reformorientierten Weiterentwicklung des Sozialstaates gearbeitet werden – auch wenn dies komplexer als ist als die Forderung nach einem Grundeinkommen, das vermeintlich alle Probleme löst.
Sub-National Formal Conflict Resolution Institutions in Ethiopia: The Case of South Nations, Nationalities, and People’s Region
Creators: name: Negash, Yideg Munana
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2021

description: After the collapse of the dictatorial regime in 1991, Ethiopia developed its first Federal Democratic Republic Constitution in 1995. Accordingly, the federation comprises ten regional states and two city administrations. The SNNP region is one among the founding member states of the federation. The region suffered from inter-ethnic disputes over various issues: identity, border, resource and cultural miscommunication. In the constitution, adopted by the Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples of the SNNPR, the Council of Nationalities was institutionalized with a number of constitutional mandates of which dispute management and resolution is the prominent one. Primary and secondary data had been collected for the accomplishment of the objective of the article. Thus, efforts and mechanisms the region used to deal with conflicts through formal conflict resolution institutions were analyzed. Hence, findings of this study showed that formal conflict resolution institutions (mainly the Council of Nationalities) of the region did not achieve what was expected from it. Conflict resolution responses of the region largely were not dynamic and systematically designed: deploying security force has been taken as a viable option to find out resort for conflicts emerged in the region. As a result, many conflict cases in the region remain unsettled. In fact the CoN had made some remarkable achievements that reinforce its future endeavor. As an institution which is found in a conflict prone region, the CoN should strengthen its instructional frameworks, skilled human power, modern technology, and desire to work with indigenous conflict resolution institutions to get things done.

description: Pulsars emit low-frequency radio waves through to high-energy gamma-rays that are generated anywhere from the surface out to the edges of the magnetosphere. Detecting correlated mode changes in the multi-wavelength emission is therefore key to understanding the physical relationship between these emission sites. Through simultaneous observations, we have detected synchronous switching in the radio and X-ray emission properties of PSR B0943+10. When the pulsar is in a sustained radio 'bright' mode, the X-rays show only an un-pulsed, non-thermal component. Conversely, when the pulsar is in a radio 'quiet' mode, the X-ray luminosity more than doubles and a 100%-pulsed thermal component is observed along with the non-thermal component. This indicates rapid, global changes to the conditions in the magnetosphere, which challenge all proposed pulsar emission theories.

description: Land use/land cover change has been the most widely observed phenomenon in Ethiopian highlands over many decades. This study analyzed dynamics of LULCC and its implication for land degradation measures over a period of 45 years (1972 to 2017) in Mida Woremo watershed in the north central Ethiopian highlands. The study used remote sensing data including Land sat MSS (1972), Land sat TM (1986), Land sat ETM+ (2000) and Land sat OLI (2017). In addition, a total of 175 sample households residing in the watershed were selected from three kebeles namely Behera, Ketemana Dere, and Dengora using a systematic random sampling technique for questionnaire surveying, and supported it with the qualitative data gathered using focus group discussion and key informant interview. A supervised classification approach based on maximum likelihood classifier was employed to classify 1972, 1986, 2000 and 2017 images based on 238 ground truth points, and identified five major land use/land cover classes. These include cultivated land, settlement land, bare land, forest cover and bush land. A weighted average index (WAI) was used to assess farmers’ perceptions of causes of LULC changes and impacts on the biophysical environment. The results indicated that the watershed has undergone significant land use/land cover from 1972 to 2017. Over the last 45 years, the areas of cultivated, settlement and bare land were increased by an average growth rate of 5.98%, 97.06%, and 0.48% per year, respectively. These changes were at the expense of the forest and bush land covers that decreased at an average rate of 1.9% and 1.41% per year, respectively. The observed land use/land cover changes were driven by a combination of proximate and underlying driving forces. These include expansion of agriculture and settlement areas, which increased the demand for woody vegetation. This resulted in a decline in soil fertility and native vegetation, which led to land degradation. Therefore, proper land use and land management practices should be in place that take the biophysical and socio-economic set-up of the area into consideration and that ensure the livelihood of the people and maintain the ecosystem in the watershed.

The Etymologies of Geyon, Abbawi and Nil: The Diverse Appellations of the Blue Nile from Time Immemorial up to the Present
Creators: name: Bayu, Yeshambel Kindie
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2021

description: The appellation Geyon was mentioned in association with an extant name of Ethiopia. Consequently, the source area of Geyon is irrefutable. Above all, for the ancient world, Geyon/Nile was the most attractive, the most important and hence the most written about in the world. To the contrary, unlike Turkish rivers of Euphrates and Tigris, the two rivers of Ethiopia that is to say Pison and Geyon, were misrepresented by later writers as both sacred and profane. What is more, some other writers had attempted to transfer the geographical location of these rivers to other parts of the world. This happened probably either by their ignorance or by the ulterior motives of these writers. This article attempted to examine sources both secular and religious exhaustively and concluded that Pison and Geyon rise in Ethiopia and the etymologies of Geyon, Abbawi and Nil are locally derived from the classical language of Ethiopia. Keywords: Etymologies, appellations, Geyon, Abbawi, Nil

An Analysis of issues against the adoption of Dynamic Carpooling

description: Using a private car is a transportation system very common in industrialized countries. However, it causes different problems such as overuse of oil, traffic jams causing earth pollution, health problems and an inefficient use of personal time. One possible solution to these problems is carpooling, i.e. sharing a trip on a private car of a driver with one or more passengers. Carpooling would reduce the number of cars on streets hence providing worldwide environmental, economical and social benefits. The matching of drivers and passengers can be facilitated by information and communication technologies. Typically, a driver inserts on a web-site the availability of empty seats on his/her car for a planned trip and potential passengers can search for trips and contact the drivers. This process is slow and can be appropriate for long trips planned days in advance. We call this static carpooling and we note it is not used frequently by people even if there are already many web-sites offering this service and in fact the only real open challenge is widespread adoption. Dynamic carpooling, on the other hand, takes advantage of the recent and increasing adoption of Internet-connected geo-aware mobile devices for enabling impromptu trip opportunities. Passengers request trips directly on the street and can find a suitable ride in just few minutes. Currently there are no dynamic carpooling systems widely used. Every attempt to create and organize such systems failed. This paper reviews the state of the art of dynamic carpooling. It identifies the most important issues against the adoption of dynamic carpooling systems and the proposed solutions for such issues. It proposes a first input on solving the problem of mass-adopting dynamic carpooling systems.

The 2016 Mass Protests and the Responses of Security Forces in ANRS, Ethiopia: Awi and West Gojjam Zones in Focus

Year: 2021

description: This study examined security forces’ abuse of power and their accountability in connection with the 2016 mass protests that unfolded in the Amhara National Regional State (ANRS) in general and Awi and West Gojjam Zones in particular. Specifically, the study assessed the nature of the use of force and the consequent investigations to punish security forces who abused their power. To address these objectives, the study employed a mixed methods research approach with a concurrent parallel design. Data for this research was obtained both from primary and secondary data sources. Interview, questionnaire and document analysis were used to collect data. A sample of 384 respondents was selected randomly to complete the questionnaire, whereas key informants were selected for the interview through snowball sampling technique. Based on the data gathered from all these sources, the study revealed that security forces committed arbitrary and extrajudicial killings and inflicted injuries against protesters who were chiefly unarmed and non-violent. The measures taken were found excessive and arbitrary with several civilians risking their lives and physical wellbeing. With few exceptions, the administrations at different levels of the government failed to investigate these extrajudicial and arbitrary killings and injuries inflicted in the process of punishing alleged perpetrators of the protest using civil and criminal laws. It is finally recommended to undertake independent investigations into the legitimacy of the murders, injuries, beatings and other forms of violence committed by the security forces.

description: Die 43 Falschmünzerformen im Besitz des RGZM dienten zum Nachgießen von Denaren der Zeit des Antoninus Pius bis Caracalla (141-217). Sie gehören zu einem größeren Fundkomplex von Münzformen, der vor 1950 an einem unbekannten Ort ans Tageslicht kam. Die Zusammensetzung von anderen Falschmünzerformen- Ensembles aus den Westprovinzen zeigt, dass die Hauptphase des Nachgießens von Denaren der antoninischen bzw. severischen Dynastien zwischen 240 und 270 stattfand. Auch die Tonformen des RGZM, die vermutlich kein getreues Abbild des ursprünglichen Fundkomplexes wiedergeben, könnten in diesen Zeitraum datiert werden. Die Falschmünzer profitierten von dem Ende der regelmäßigen Denarprägung nach 240 und konzentrierten sich nun noch mehr auf das Nachgießen dieser Münze anhand einer Kupfer-Zinn Legierung mit silberartigem Aussehen. Als ca. 260-270 die Denare deutlich seltener wurden, nahmen die Falschmünzer immer mehr den in großen Mengen in den offiziellen Münzstätten ausgebrachten Antoninian als Vorlage. In der starken Inflationszeit der 270er Jahre scheint jedoch die Falschmünzerei zugunsten der Produktion von Imitationen wesentlich zurückzugehen: Die ergiebige Prägung von imitierten Antoninianen sollte den erhöhten Geldbedarf decken.

description: The 43 coin moulds from the collection of the RGZM were used to cast denarii of the period from Antoninus Pius to Caracalla (141-217). They belong to a larger assemblage of coin moulds which came to light before 1950 at an unknown site. The composition of other forgers’ mould finds from the western provinces shows that the main casting phase of the Antonine and the Severan dynasties occurred between 240 and 270. The moulds from the RGZM, too, which do not reflect a fair picture of the original inventory, could date to this period. The counterfeiters took advantage of the end of the regular minting of denarii after 240 and concentrated more on casting these coins with a copper-tin alloy with silver appearance. As denarii became rarer around
260-270, the forgers more and more took the antoninianus coined in large numbers in the official mints as a model. During the great inflation period of the 270ies coin forgery seems to have decreased in favour of the production of imitations. The abundant coinage of imitations of antoniniani was meant to cover the increased need of coins.

description: An increasing number of potentially habitable terrestrial planets and planet candidates are found by ongoing planet search programs. The search for atmospheric signatures to establish planetary habitability and the presence of life might be possible in the future. We want to quantify the accuracy of retrieved atmospheric parameters which might be obtained from infrared emission spectroscopy. We use synthetic observations of hypothetical habitable planets, constructed with a parametrized atmosphere model, a high-resolution radiative transfer model and a simplified noise model. Classic statistical tools such as chi2 statistics and least-square fits were used to analyze the simulated observations. When adopting the design of currently planned or proposed exoplanet characterization missions, we find that emission spectroscopy could provide weak limits on surface conditions of terrestrial planets, hence their potential habitability. However, these mission designs are unlikely to allow to characterize the composition of the atmosphere of a habitable planet, even though CO2 is detected. Upon increasing the signal-to-noise ratios by about a factor of 2-5 (depending on spectral resolution) compared to current mission designs, the CO2 content could be characterized to within two orders of magnitude. The detection of the O3 biosignature remains marginal. The atmospheric temperature structure could not be constrained. Therefore, a full atmospheric characterization seems to be beyond the capabilities of such missions when using only emission spectroscopy during secondary eclipse or target visits. Other methods such as transmission spectroscopy or orbital photometry are probably needed in order to give additional constraints and break degeneracies. (abridged)

description: In this work, the low rank approximation concept is extended to the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method to achieve a very efficient approximated algorithm for coherent and incoherent electron transport. This new method is applied to inelastic transport in various semiconductor nanodevices. Detailed benchmarks with exact NEGF solutions show 1) a very good agreement between approximated and exact NEGF results, 2) a significant reduction of the required memory, and 3) a large reduction of the computational time (a factor of speed up as high as 150 times is observed). A non-recursive solution of the inelastic NEGF transport equations of a 1000 nm long resistor on standard hardware illustrates nicely the capability of this new method.

description: Solid waste management (SWM) has become a major challenge in urban areas throughout the world. Unless people have an active involvement in SWM, it will result in environmental problems and health hazards. Hence, this study intended to assess women’s practice in effective household SWM at household level in Woldia town, Ethiopia. Mixed methods research with explanatory research design was employed for the study. Questionnaires were administered to 210 women who were selected through systematic sampling technique from three urban kebeles of the town. Interview, observation and FGD were used to collect qualitative data. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data while thematic analysis was employed to interpret the qualitative data. The binary logistic regression model was used to identify factors that determined women’s participation in effective SWM at household level. The results showed that more than half (61%) of the respondents did not participate in effective household SWM, and yet, the majority (60%) of them still did not use alternative solid waste handling methods. The study also noted that lack of support from family members, inadequate support from the town municipality as well as cultural myths and beliefs were the challenges women faced to participate effectively in SWM. The study found that age, marital status, educational level and family size of respondents were the major determinants to participate in effective household SWM. From these results, it can be concluded that the young age group and the unmarried and/or divorced group of women were negligent in effective household SWM. Women’s awareness of SWM was found inadequate, and they were merely involved in managing solid wastes traditionally. The study recommended that supporting women in utilizing alternative and/or sustainable solid waste handling methods should be encouraged by the local government.

description: Bargmann invariants and null phase curves are known to be important ingredients in understanding the essential nature of the geometric phase in quantum mechanics. Null phase manifolds in quantum-mechanical ray spaces are submanifolds made up entirely of null phase curves, and so are equally important for geometric phase considerations. It is shown that the complete characterization of null phase manifolds involves both the Riemannian metric structure and the symplectic structure of ray space in equal measure, which thus brings together these two aspects in a natural manner.

description: The purpose of this research paper is to detect, present and generalize all forms of information resonance of the book “Time Shelter“ by Georgi Gospodinov on this basis to check up the hypothesis that the book was realized as a media. The research objectives include searching and presenting various forms of readers' feedback about the book, summarizing and visualizing data using diagrams, recapitulating the results by quantitative generalization and formulating an answer to the question whether the book has been implemented as a communication medium. The methodology includes information retrieval, information monitoring and bibliometric analysis. The summary of the results follows the algorithm for information resonance of the book in 8 phases, developed by M. Tsvetkova.  Information monitoring covers the period from 2020 to 2023. The conclusions are likely to be useful for theoretical discussions about the difference between buying a book and reading a book.

description: We study the Klein-Gordon equation in a non-commutative space-time as applied to the Hydrogen atom to extract the energy levels, by considering the second-order corrections in the non-commutativity paramete and by comparing to the 2S - 1S transition accuracy we get a bound on the parameter of noncommutativity. Phenomenologically we show that non-commutativity is the source of lamb shift corrections and spin electron.

Women in Decision-making: Investigating Roles and Challenges in Selected Governmental Offices at Hosanna City Administration
Creators: name: Tsehay, Yihenew Misrak
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2021

description: The process of decision-making affects both organization’s administration and the lives of the society. Accordingly, this study has been conducted to examine the roles of women participation in decisionmaking and to investigate challenges on their participation. The study employed qualitative method. Whereas participants of the study were selected purposively, data were collected through interviews and analysed thematically. The study showed that interest articulation, building institutional trust and socialization, proper utilization and management of resources, enhancing the achievement of institutional goals, upholding institutional responsibilities, making rational decisions and fighting maladministration are important contributions of women in decision-making. On the other hand, the overburden of women, low access for leadership positions, backward socio-cultural attitudes and practices, lack of trust at household level and feeling of discrimination, feeling of inefficacy and lack of motivation, low educational status and insufficient institutional support were the main challenges on women’s decision-making activity. Therefore, appreciating women’s role in decision-making activities and working to ease up their challenges must be the timely actions of all concerned parties.

The Lost Town of Yibaba: Royal Residence and Regional Capital (ca. 1612- ca.1800)
Creators: name: Eskezia, Geremew
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2021

description: Yibaba served as the capital of a region to the south of Lake Tana called Mecha province, and, as a royal residence of Gondarine emperors since the early 17th century, provided the same function as the town of Aringo in Begemdir. Yibaba also played a significant role in the Gondarine politics and the power struggles of the early decades of the Zemene Mesafint (the era of warlords). Although the town was an important political center for centuries, there is no as such focused and significant historical study that has been made on Yibaba. Therefore, this paper provides a short historical account of the lost town of Yibaba, including the office of Yibaba Azazh, the province of Mecha and the political developments and relations of the town with the kings in Gondar. To this end, a range of sources is used including oral, published and unpublished sources

Demographic Transition in Ethiopia: Evidence of Change from 1990 to 2016
Creators: name: Minale, Amare Sewnet
Publisher: name: Ethiopian  Journal of Social Sciences
Year: 2021

description: Since the 1990s, Ethiopia has been experiencing demographic transition. The changes were the result of the country’s effort in reducing fertility and mortality rates through implementing socio-economic development programs. The demographic dividend is the economic benefit that results from improved reproductive health, a decline in fertility, and a subsequent shift in population age structure. This study explored the demographic transition and demographic dividend conditions from 1990 to 1916 in Ethiopia. In this research, secondary data from different sources such as research findings, policy documents, development plan and program reports, and analyses of censuses and surveys data were used to evaluate the demographic changes and demographic dividends. Ethiopia’s focus on children, maternal health and family planning has brought impressive results. Modern contraceptive use among women of 15-49 years old rose from 4 percent in 1990 to 35 percent in 2016.These changes have led to a total fertility decline from 7.7 children in 1990 to 4.6 children in 2016. Life expectancy at birth rose from 46 years old in 1990 to 63 years in 2016. A range of legal, policy and institutional frameworks have been developed and implemented on gender equity, equality, girls’ education, reproductive health issues and the empowerment of women. Hence, further efforts have to be made to reduce the population growth rate and total fertility and to improve the living conditions of the society. This study revealed the nature of population change in Ethiopia and future actions that need to be taken to harmonize the change in economic development and population change.

description: We demonstrate high resolution scanning fluorescence resonance energy transfer 10 microscopy between a single nitrogen-vacancy center as donor and graphene as acceptor. 11 Images with few nanometer resolution of single and multilayer graphene structures were 12 attained. An energy transfer efficiency of 30% at distances of 10nm between a single 13 defect and graphene was measured. Further the energy transfer distance dependence of 14 the nitrogen-vacancy center to graphene was measured to show the predicted d-4 15 dependence. Our studies pave the way towards a diamond defect center based versatile 16 single emitter scanning microscope.
