The Effect of Decision Making Autonomy of Employees on Organizational Performance: the case of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Sereke, Hilina
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Employees are the fuel that runs the engine of the organization and it is believed that their autonomy in the decision-making process plays a vital role in the organizational performance. It leads to lost man hours among others which adversely affect the fortunes of the organization. This study, therefore, sought to determine the effect of employee autonomy as a management tool in decision-making and its implementation in organizations by determining the extent to which employees are granted autonomy in decision-making and the consequences of such action on implementation of decisions. The type of research design for this study is exploratory method and it relied on primary information. The research findings suggested that employee autonomy in decision-making contributes to effective decision implementation and also creates an enabling environment for creativity and growth as employees see themselves as stakeholders and owners of the decision-making implementation. It was also revealed from the research that when employees see themselves as not being part of the decision-making process, they become dissatisfied and apathetic which is likely to adversely affect organizational performance. It is recommended that employees' views are sought on matters that affect their lives and work and they should also be empowered to take decisions through which they will have a sense of self-worth and a feeling of belonging that will make them give of their best in the organization

description: We show that in AB stacked bilayer graphene low energy excitations around the semimetallic points are described by massless, four dimensional Dirac fermions. There is an effective reconstruction of the 4 dimensional spacetime, including in particular the dimension perpendicular to the sheet, that arises dynamically from the physical graphene sheet and the interactions experienced by the carriers. The effective spacetime is the Eisenhart-Duval lift of the dynamics experienced by Galilei invariant Lévy-Leblond spin $\frac{1}{2}$ particles near the Dirac points. We find that changing the intrinsic curvature of the bilayer sheet induces a change in the energy level of the electronic bands, switching from a conducting regime for negative curvature to an insulating one when curvature is positive. In particular, curving graphene bilayers allows opening or closing the energy gap between conduction and valence bands, a key effect for electronic devices. Thus using curvature as a tunable parameter opens the way for the beginning of curvatronics in bilayer graphene.

description: In surveys, the interest lies in estimating finite population parameters such as population totals and means. In most surveys, some auxiliary information is available at the estimation stage. This information may be incorporated in the estimation procedures to increase their precision. In this article, we use random forests to estimate the functional relationship between the survey variable and the auxiliary variables. In recent years, random forests have become attractive as National Statistical Offices have now access to a variety of data sources, potentially exhibiting a large number of observations on a large number of variables. We establish the theoretical properties of model-assisted procedures based on random forests and derive corresponding variance estimators. A model-calibration procedure for handling multiple survey variables is also discussed. The results of a simulation study suggest that the proposed point and estimation procedures perform well in term of bias, efficiency, and coverage of normal-based confidence intervals, in a wide variety of settings. Finally, we apply the proposed methods using data on radio audiences collected by Médiamétrie, a French audience company.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the maternal representations (MRs) of a group of fifteen first-time pregnant women attending a birth centre for routine antenatal care in order to assess current understandings about the timing and types of MRs. To this end research questions were designed to explore whether MRs were active in pre-pregnancy as well as throughout the different stages of pregnancy until three months post partum. A narrative approach was used to collect data, via two semi-structured interviews, diaries and questionnaires. The first interview took place in early pregnancy and the second interview at three months post-partum. Three questionnaires were administered; Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS), What Being the Parent of a Baby is Like (WBPBL). At the first interview the fifteen women were provided with a reflective diary to write about how they imagined the baby, how the thought about themselves as a mother, and how they envisaged their relationship with their baby. They agreed to continue to keep the diary until three months postpartum. While the questionnaires were statistically analysed no statistical inference could be made due to the small sample size. The women’s responses indicated that they did not fall into any risk category. Data from the interviews and the diaries were analysed using thematic analysis with seven themes being identified ranging from pre-pregnancy through to 3 months postpartum. From the first interview The Time is Right showed that MRs were active prior to pregnancy in this group of women. My Body is Changing showed MRs being activated during the first physical symptoms of pregnancy while MRs became more focused on the baby at the first ultrasound, which led to the third theme It’s a Real Baby. Analysis of the diaries kept by the women resulted in two further MR themes being identified that is, The Good Mother and The Good Baby which showed that the MRs of the ‘self as mother’ were influenced by representations of an idealised ‘good baby’. Two final themes were identified from the second interview: Birth is Natural: Ideal and Real Birth and Getting it Right: Ideal and Real Parenting. In the Ideal Birth and Real Birth the MRs were concerned with place of birth and support during labour and birth. The MRs of Ideal and Real Parenting were influenced by breastfeeding and settling the baby. The identification of these seven themes demonstrates the existence of MRs prior to pregnancy and how MRs are differentiated from early pregnancy through to 3 months postpartum depending on particular pregnancy milestones.

description: Personal indoor localization is usually accomplished by fusing information from various sensors. A common choice is to use the WiFi adapter that provides information about Access Points that can be found in the vicinity. Unfortunately, state-of-the-art approaches to WiFi-based localization often employ very dense maps of the WiFi signal distribution, and require a time-consuming process of parameter selection. On the other hand, camera images are commonly used for visual place recognition, detecting whenever the user observes a scene similar to the one already recorded in a database. Visual place recognition algorithms can work with sparse databases of recorded scenes and are in general simple to parametrize. Therefore, we propose a WiFi-based global localization method employing the structure of the well-known FAB-MAP visual place recognition algorithm. Similarly to FAB-MAP our method uses Chow-Liu trees to estimate a joint probability distribution of re-observation of a place given a set of features extracted at places visited so far. However, we are the first who apply this idea to recorded WiFi scans instead of visual words. The new method is evaluated on the UJIIndoorLoc dataset used in the EvAAL competition, allowing fair comparison with other solutions.

description: En 1991 se promulga la Constitución que reconoce a Colombia como una nación multiétnica y pluricultural. Esto contribuye a la visibilidad social de los grupos indígenas y a la protección intrafamiliar de la mujer indígena, ya que no existen precedentes legales que regularan su protección dentro de las tribus. Este cambio constitucional hace que la última década del siglo XX y la primera del XXI sean cruciales para los escritores indígenas colombianos, entre ellos Hugo Jamioy, Freddy Chikangana, entre otros, al generar un renovado interés en las editoriales, especialmente las institucionales. Estos perfilan sus estilos y proceden a la traducción de sus obras del castellano a sus respectivas lenguas nativas en el marco del proyecto de sensibilización constitucional del multilingüismo, diferenciándose de generaciones anteriores por la reelaboración de los imaginarios tradicionales del mito. Las representaciones de lo femenino aparecen así en sus obras en términos míticos de fertilidad, maternidad y deseo. En el poemario Las hondonadas maternas de la piel (2010), de Vito Apüshana, las representaciones de lo femenino aportan la singularidad étnica de la obra que busca reivindicar los valores de la nación Wayuu mediante un foco altamente positivo, exaltando su tradición matrilineal y con ello la fuerza femenina en el quehacer diario.

description: Using WiFi signals for indoor localization is the main localization modality of the existing personal indoor localization systems operating on mobile devices. WiFi fingerprinting is also used for mobile robots, as WiFi signals are usually available indoors and can provide rough initial position estimate or can be used together with other positioning systems. Currently, the best solutions rely on filtering, manual data analysis, and time-consuming parameter tuning to achieve reliable and accurate localization. In this work, we propose to use deep neural networks to significantly lower the work-force burden of the localization system design, while still achieving satisfactory results. Assuming the state-of-the-art hierarchical approach, we employ the DNN system for building/floor classification. We show that stacked autoencoders allow to efficiently reduce the feature space in order to achieve robust and precise classification. The proposed architecture is verified on the publicly available UJIIndoorLoc dataset and the results are compared with other solutions.

description: Exponentially-localized Wannier functions (ELWFs) are an orthonormal basis of the Fermi projection of a material consisting of functions which decay exponentially fast away from their maxima. When the material is insulating and crystalline, conditions which guarantee existence of ELWFs in dimensions one, two, and three are well-known, and methods for constructing the ELWFs numerically are well-developed. We consider the case where the material is insulating but not necessarily crystalline, where much less is known. In one spatial dimension, Kivelson and Nenciu-Nenciu have proved ELWFs can be constructed as the eigenfunctions of a self-adjoint operator acting on the Fermi projection. In this work, we identify an assumption under which we can generalize the Kivelson-Nenciu-Nenciu result to two dimensions and higher. Under this assumption, we prove that ELWFs can be constructed as the eigenfunctions of a sequence of self-adjoint operators acting on the Fermi projection. We conjecture that the assumption we make is equivalent to vanishing of topological obstructions to the existence of ELWFs in the special case where the material is crystalline. We numerically verify that our construction yields ELWFs in various cases where our assumption holds and provide numerical evidence for our conjecture.

Many revisions: (1) Proof generalized WFs we construct are (a) WFs when system periodic (b) respectful of time-reversal, so gap conditions imply topological triviality (2) Proofs streamlined using integral kernel of P; generalized to more general position operators (3) Fixed error in constructive proof that PXP gaps implies analytic and periodic Bloch frame in 2d

description: Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigate the structure, stability, optical modes and electronic band gap of a distorted tetragonal MoS$_2$ monolayer (T'-MoS$_2$). Our simulated scanning tunnel microscopy (STM) images of T'-MoS$_2$ are dramatically similar with those STM images which were identified as K$_{x}$(H$_{2}$O)$_{y}$MoS$_{2}$ from a previous experimental study. This similarity suggests that T'-MoS$_2$ might have already been observed in experiment but was unexpectedly misidentified. Furthermore, we verify the stability of T'-MoS$_2$ from thermal, mechanical and dynamic aspects, by \emph{ab initio} molecular dynamics simulation, elastic constants evaluation and phonon band structure calculation based on density functional perturbation theory, respectively. In addition, we calculate the eigenfrequencies and eigenvectors of the optical modes of T'-MoS$_2$ at $Γ$ point and distinguish their Raman and infrared activity by pointing out their irreducible representations using group theory; at the same time, we compare the Raman modes of T'-MoS$_2$ with those of H-MoS$_2$ and T-MoS$_2$. Our results provide a useful guidance for further experimental identification and characterization of T'-MoS$_2$.

description: Magnetism of transition metal (TM) oxides is usually described in terms of the Heisenberg model, with orientation-independent interactions between the spins. However, the applicability of such a model is not fully justified for TM oxides because spin polarization of oxygen is usually ignored. In the conventional model based on the Anderson principle, oxygen effects are considered as a property of the TM ion and only TM interactions are relevant. Here, we perform a systematic comparison between two approaches for spin polarization on oxygen in typical TM oxides. To this end, we calculate the exchange interactions in NiO, MnO, and hematite (Fe2O3) for different magnetic configurations using the magnetic force theorem. We consider the full spin Hamiltonian including oxygen sites, and also derive an effective model where the spin polarization on oxygen renormalizes the exchange interactions between TM sites. Surprisingly, the exchange interactions in NiO depend on the magnetic state if spin polarization on oxygen is neglected, resulting in non-Heisenberg behavior. In contrast, the inclusion of spin polarization in NiO makes the Heisenberg model more applicable. Just the opposite, MnO behaves as a Heisenberg magnet when oxygen spin polarization is neglected, but shows strong non-Heisenberg effects when spin polarization on oxygen is included. In hematite, both models result in non-Heisenberg behavior. General applicability of the magnetic force theorem as well as the Heisenberg model to TM oxides is discussed.

description: Human resource is the most important resources in the organization. Making an effort to retain is very essential for the achievement of the given objective. However, the issue of employee retention exists in most of the organization throughout the world. To prevent an excessive employee turnover rate, an organization has to set an effective retention mechanism by identifying affecting factors. The main objective of this study was to assess factors effects employee retention in GGG & C. The specific objectives were to examine their relationships, and to measure the level of influence or effect on employee retention. An explanatory research design with survey method is applied in this study. The total number of population was 220.Out of total population142 sample size were drawn using Taro Yemani's statistical formula and then stratified followed by purposive sampling technique was used. The study used both primary and secondary source of data. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and the data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The data was presented using tables, percentage, frequency and graphs From statistical tools, Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression were used to investigate the relationship and effect of identified variables on employee retention. The correlation result implied that supervisor support has strong positive relationship (r=.892, p<0.01), training & development (r=.672, p<0.01), work environment (r=.736, p<0.01), and compensation & reward (r=.661, p<0.01) with employees' retention. The major finding of this study is that the independent variables, which are supervisor support, training & development, work environment and compensation & reward have strong positive relationship and significantly high association and effect on employee retention. From the study, it is concluded that the 99.8% of variation in employee retention is explained by supervisor support, training & development, work environment and compensation & reward. All this variables have strong positive effect on employee retention. Among these independent variables, supervisor support has a greatest rate of influence. Concerning the existing employees' level of intention, the findings indicated that there is a neutral level of retention intention in the company. In order to minimize and control the existing retention intent of employees', the researcher recommended that the concerned company authorized parties have to revise and improve the identified four factors that have strong influence to retain its employee for long period.

description: This work focuses on the study of quantum stochastic walks, which are a generalization of coherent, i. e. unitary quantum walks. Our main goal is to present a measure of a coherence of the walk. To this end, we utilize the asymptotic scaling exponent of the second moment of the walk i. e. of the mean squared distance covered by a walk. As the quantum stochastic walk model encompasses both classical random walks and quantum walks, we are interested how the continuous change from one regime to the other influences the asymptotic scaling exponent. Moreover this model allows for behavior which is not found in any of the previously mentioned model -- the model with global dissipation. We derive the probability distribution for the walker, and determine the asymptotic scaling exponent analytically, showing that ballistic regime of the walk is maintained even at large dissipation strength.

At the end of this paper we have proven that the set of trace-preserving endomorphisms together with the actions of 'addition' and 'composition' (which is in the role of 'multiplication') forms a skew-field.

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Accounting and Data Analytics, La Trobe Business School, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria.

Building on a triangularly anchored theoretical framework comprising practice, narrative and performative theories, the main objective of this study was to explore and understand how strategy and accounting practices are constructed and performed in a university, what are the effects of and relationships between these practices, and what relevance and implications these practices have on a university’s operations. A qualitative case study was undertaken involving 40 face-to-face interviews, observations of events and analysis of organisational documents with a university. It was found that the strategy and accounting practices of the university were primarily constituted and implemented by a nexus of strategic and accounting doings and sayings. In particular, various calculative practices and measures were integral in the development and implementation of a new strategic plan. Once the plan was developed, it was maintained through various quantified strategic narratives. In many instances, accounting was found to be an engine for strategizing and financialising at the university level and operational levels through the various rules, understandings and teleoaffective structures it created. The university’s new strategic objectives were primarily made strategic through their mobilisation with accounting. This study makes several contributions. Theoretically, it extends the knowledge generated by the emerging practice and performative approaches examining the strategy and accounting relationship by providing more detailed and new insights into the literature. Empirically, the study generates evidence about the role and impact of financial management and accounting on universities’ strategic management practices. Finally, it provides practical guidance for higher education practitioners who are considering strategizing and accounting practices in their institutions.

Utilization of waste animal bone as a heterogeneous solid base catalyst for transesterification of Jatropha oil
Creators: name: Kaleab, Bizuneh
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Heterogeneous catalyst plays a vital role in transesterification process, especially in view of cost and reusability. In this study, heterogeneous solid base catalyst was prepared by impregnating the waste animal bone with different weight percent (wt%) KOH solution followed by drying and calcination at 900 °C for 3 hr. Having screened the catalytic performance and basicity of animal bone loaded with different K-compounds, 12 wt% KOH loaded on animal bone was chosen. The physico-chemical properties of animal bone, support and the KOH-impregnated calcined animal bone catalyst were characterized by means of titration (for basicity of catalyst), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy measurements. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was also performed for the selected catalyst. Catalytic performance of the catalyst was evaluated by transesterificating Jatropha oil with methanol in batch reactions. The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) of the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to investigate the effects of reaction temperature, catalyst loading and methanol to oil molar ratio on Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) yield. Maximum yield of 96.74% was obtained at 11.56:1 methanol to oil molar ratio, 5.08 wt% catalyst loading, 64.05 ii | P a g e o C reaction temperature and 500 rpm stirring speed in 3 hr reaction time. Reusability studies indicated that the prepared catalyst could be applied to at least three consecutive batches of the transesterification reaction without any significant loss of activity. The effects of temperature (313, 321.3, 329.6, and 338 K) and time (1, 2, 3, and 4 hr) at optimum conditions on the conversion of the oil into FAME were also investigated. The results obtained indicated a pseudo-first order kinetics for the transesterification reaction using the prepared catalyst. The activation energy obtained was 38.55 KJ.mol -1 . The physical, chemical and fuel properties of the produced FAME met the standard specifications.

Sub-millimeter Spatial Oscillations of Newton's Constant: Theoretical Models and Laboratory Tests

description: We investigate the viability of sub-millimeter wavelength oscillating deviations from the Newtonian potential at both the theoretical and the experimental/observational level. At the theoretical level such deviations are generic predictions in a wide range of extensions of General Relativity (GR) including $f(R)$ theories, massive Brans-Dicke theories, compactified extra dimension models and nonlocal extensions of GR. However, the range of parameters associated with such oscillating deviations is usually connected with instabilities. An exception emerges in nonlocal gravity theories where oscillating deviations from Newtonian potential occur naturally on sub-millimeter scales without instabilities. As an example of a model with unstable Newtonian oscillations we review an $f(R)$ expansion around General Relativity of the form $f(R)=R+\frac{1}{6 m^2} R^2$ with $m^2<0$ pointing out possible stabilization mechanisms. As an example of a model with stable Newtonian oscillations we discuss nonlocal gravity theories. If such oscillations are realized in Nature on sub-millimeter scales, a signature is expected in torsion balance experiments testing Newton's law. We search for such a signature in the torsion balance data of the Washington experiment (combined torque residuals) testing Newton's law at sub-millimeter scales. We show that an oscillating residual ansatz with spatial wavelength $λ\simeq 0.1mm$ provides a better fit to the data compared to the residual Newtonian constant ansatz by $Δχ^2 = -15$. Similar improved fits, also occur in about $10\%$ of Monte Carlo realizations of Newtonian data. Thus, the significance level of this improved fit is at a level of not more than $2σ$. The energy scale corresponding to this best fit wavelength is identical to the dark energy length scale $λ_{de} \equiv\sqrt[4]{\hbar c/ρ_{ de}}\approx 0.1mm$.

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Psychology and Public Health, College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

The patient safety incident reporting system was implemented in Indonesia in 2005 and has operated since then. Despite the comprehensive system of reporting and policies, the number of incidents reported to the National Committee on Hospital Patient Safety each year has remained low. The purpose of this study is to analyse the factors contributing to under-reporting of patient safety incidents in Indonesian hospitals by exploring the perspectives of government organisations and other organisations involved in the implementation of incident reporting. This study employed a mixed-methods approach and adopted a convergent parallel design that covered central, provincial and district or city levels. The quantitative phase measured the knowledge, attitudes, cultural and practical barriers to reporting, and the practice of reporting involved 1,121 health workers from three public hospitals: in addition, 33 participants from 16 organisations were involved in qualitative phase. The statistical findings show that profession, work unit and attendance at quality and safety training each had a significant association with the practice of reporting, as well as some factors within knowledge, attitude, practical and cultural barriers to report. The causes of the under-reporting were found within the government and leadership, the relationship with external organisations, hospital organisational and management factors, individual factors and the incident reporting system. This study is the first mixed-methods study focused on the under-reporting of patient safety incidents in Indonesia also the first to consider Javanese values as cultural barriers to reporting incidents. The study limitation included the hospital sampling were non-randomly selected and the selection of interview participants may be biased as other potential participants may have had more knowledge about the issues. Recommendation given were by improving the role of government, the performance of organisations contributed to patient safety implementation and put the patient safety as priority in hospital or national level.
