description: Teff, wheat and rice are becoming important market oriented crops in Ethiopia. This study aims at measuring the level of market orientation of households in these crops, identifying the important market places and market outlets used by producers, and analyzing the determinants of market orientation in these crops. Results are based on analysis of data collected from community (peasant association) and household surveys in three districts in three regional states of the country in 2005. Analysis of descriptive information and econometric analysis are used. About 65 - 77% of households produce these market oriented commodities in the study areas, on about 27 – 44% of the total cultivated land. About 47 – 60% of the produce of these market oriented commodities is sold. The important market places for producers of these commodities are the district town markets and markets located at the peasant associations within the district. Wholesalers and retailers are the most important buyers from producers. Average distance to market places for these commodities is about two walking hours. Econometric analyses show that market orientation of households is affected by a host of factors related to household demographics, household endowments of human and physical capital, access to institutional services, and village level factors. Size of cultivable land and traction power, and household labor supply are important factors that induce households to be market oriented. While household size tends to favor food security objectives, number of dependents is associated with market orientation. Population control measures could contribute to market orientation through their effect of reducing household subsistence requirements. Our results also imply that interventions to improvements markets operations in order to benefit producers need to consider the operation of district level markets. Improving the operations of factor markets of land, traction and farm labor could contribute to enhancing market orientation of farm households. Special attention is needed to female headed households in the process of commercial transformation of subsistence agriculture. The development and institutionalization of marketing extension warrants due consideration.

The Nature of self-employment in Urban Ethiopia

description: Various studies on the Ethiopian economy in general and the urban sector in particular have stated about the staggering level of unemployment in the country. Rapidly growing population and a less than satisfactory performance in economic growth over the years, among others, are to blame for this situation. That the unemployment situation is particularly rampant among the youth which constitutes over a third of the population calls for an urgent intervention aimed at improving the fate of the unemployed. Promoting self-employment forms an integral part of any intervention aimed at reducing unemployment. Given this, studying the determinants of self-employment is essential by way of informing concerned parties as to factors important in encouraging self-employment. As well as surveying the relevant literature, the study undertakes an empirical investigation into the nature of selfemployment using data from a unique panel data set, the Ethiopian Urban Socio- Economic Survey. Findings of the study give some evidence that self-employment is largely a route out of unemployment rather than being something driven by entrepreneurship. It also finds a declining trend in the patterns of self-employment over the study period. Very few studies have looked into issues relating to selfemployment in the context of developing countries in general, and none in the case of Ethiopia. As such, this study serves an important role shedding some light on issues pertaining to self-employment.

description: We generalize our previous work on ππscattering to Kπscattering, and re-analyze the experiment data of Kπscattering below 1.6 GeV. Without any free parameter, we explain KπI=3/2 S-wave phase shift very well by using t-channel rho and u-channel K^* meson exchange. With the t-channel and u-channel meson exchange fixed as the background term, we fit the KπI=1/2 S-wave data of the LASS experiment quite well by introducing one or two s-channel resonances. It is found that there is only one s-channel resonance between Kπthreshold and 1.6 GeV, i.e., K_0^*(1430) with a mass around 1438~1486 MeV and a width about 346 MeV, while the t-channel rho exchange gives a pole at (450-480i) MeV for the amplitude.

description: The paper uses data from a 2002 survey of 1000 rural and urban households with eight-year old children sampled from food insecure communities in Tigray, Amhara, Oromia, SNNP and Addis Ababa Regional States. Using a probit regression model, we investigated external factors associated with child enrolment in school. We found that household wealth, cognitive social capital, adult education and ownership of land had a positive impact on whether eight-year-old children were attending school. Household wealth had the strongest impact followed by cognitive social capital (perceived levels of trust and reciprocity), the maximum level of education attained by female adults in the household, ownership or rental of land, and the maximum level of education attained by male adults in the household. In contrast, child enrolment was found to be negatively associated with the number of household members over the age of 15 years, birth order, ownership of livestock, economic shocks, distance to primary school, and child labour, in declining magnitude. The findings in general suggest that increasing child enrolment in primary school, which is a commitment of the Sustainable Development and Poverty Reduction Program (SDPRP) and Education Sector Development Program (ESDP), will necessitate more targeted educational policies to address regional, gender and wealth disparities, the development of education programmes for adult caregivers, as well as broader intersectoral policy initiatives to ensure that policy initiatives in other sectors facilitate rather than hinder children’s education (particularly credit and labour markets and infrastructure-related policies).

description: * Livestock production and marketing has the potential of improving the smallholder farmer’s livelihood, but small herd size limits smallholder livestock commercialization. Thus understanding the herd dynamics is a pragmatic initial step in addressing this problem and providing solutions to building and maintaining the herd size. Births are the primary source of building the herd size while deaths as reflected by high mortality rates are the major outflow channel. It is encouraging that cattle mortality rates have reduced and the population growth rates increased between 2012 and 2015 though more still needs to be done.

description: Currently, the best upper bounds on the number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible, smooth, projective algebraic curve of genus g defined over a finite field F_q come either from Serre's refinement of the Weil bound if the genus is small compared to q, or from Oesterle's optimization of the explicit formulae method if the genus is large. This paper presents three methods for improving these bounds. The arguments used are the indecomposability of the theta divisor of a curve, Galois descent, and Honda-Tate theory. Examples of improvements on the bounds include lowering them for a wide range of small genus when q=2^3, 2^5, 2^{13}, 3^3, 3^5, 5^3, 5^7, and when q=2^{2s}, s>1. For large genera, isolated improvements are obtained for q=3,8,9.

description: We present a framework for the simulation of rigid and deformable bodies in the presence of contact and friction. Our method is based on a non-smooth Newton iteration that solves the underlying nonlinear complementarity problems (NCPs) directly. This approach allows us to support nonlinear dynamics models, including hyperelastic deformable bodies and articulated rigid mechanisms, coupled through a smooth isotropic friction model. The fixed-point nature of our method means it requires only the solution of a symmetric linear system as a building block. We propose a new complementarity preconditioner for NCP functions that improves convergence, and we develop an efficient GPU-based solver based on the conjugate residual (CR) method that is suitable for interactive simulations. We show how to improve robustness using a new geometric stiffness approximation and evaluate our method's performance on a number of robotics simulation scenarios, including dexterous manipulation and training using reinforcement learning.

description: We use a semiclassical three-fluid model to analyze the conditions for spatial phase separation in a mixture of fermionic Li-6 and a (stable) Bose-Einstein condensate of Li-7 atoms under cylindrical harmonic confinement, both at zero and finite temperature. We show that with the parameters of the Paris experiment [F. Schrek et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 080403 (2001)] an increase of the boson-fermion scattering length by a factor five would be sufficient to enter the phase-separated regime. We give examples of configurations for the density profiles in phase separation and estimate that the transition should persist at temperatures typical of current experiments. For higher values of the boson-fermion coupling we also find a new phase separation between the fermions and the bosonic thermal cloud at finite temperature.

description: This paper examines a 9th-century Arabic text of genethlialogical astrology, arguing that while it presents itself as heir to a Greek science deriving from India, it is also a testament to the pervasive role played by Sasanian intellectual culture in the 8th- to 10th-century Greek-Arabic translation movement. After a description of the astrological text and its manuscripts, I turn to its technical vocabulary, focusing in particular on what its use of a Middle Persian technical term betrays about the text's origins and the intellectual tradition in which it is to be situated. Finally, I argue that the tension between the text's self-presentation as part of the ancient Greek astrological tradition and its Persian vocabulary can be resolved by considering how the text promotes itself: as a gateway to true knowledge through ancient science.

description: Abstract

This study investigates the influence of school administrators' traits on their effectiveness as instructional leaders in Lanao Del Sur public schools. Specifically, it examines critical characteristics such as emotional intelligence, decision-making, communication, adaptability, and resilience, assessing their impact on instructional leadership and overall school performance. A mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating quantitative data from 150 teachers' and administrators' surveys and qualitative insights from in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that administrators with higher levels of emotional intelligence and adaptability substantially enhance their school's instructional capacity, improving teacher performance and student outcomes. This study underscores the significance of leadership development programs that focus on cultivating these essential traits to strengthen instructional leadership and foster an environment conducive to academic success. Ultimately, the research contributes to understanding how the personal characteristics of educational leaders can impact the effectiveness of instructional practices in challenging educational contexts.
Exploring Natural Wax Blends as Biodegradable Alternatives to PLA and Polyethylene Lining in Paper Cups

description: Hydrophobic linings of paper cups made of polyethylene or polylactic acid (PLA) are non-biodegradable and leach harmful chemicals. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the potential of beeswax, candelilla wax, carnauba wax, castor wax, and soy wax blends as biodegradable alternatives for paper cup linings. Contact angle measurements, the Cobb test, and mass loss were used to determine the hydrophobicity, resistance to liquid penetration, and cohesion of waxes after submersion in liquids of different temperatures and pH levels over time. Binary mixtures with different ratios between the best-performing waxes, castor and soy, were subsequently tested in conditions where contact angle change was observed to be most extreme in initial testing. All wax blend linings of castor and soy wax demonstrated a statistically significant greater contact angle at all times across all conditions compared to the paper cup and had 37.6% to 59.9% less liquid absorption relative to the paper cup. Findings suggest that it is possible to create an alternative wax lining of castor and soy wax of greater functionality than paper cup linings in terms of hydrophobicity, liquid penetration, and cohesion.

description: In this research, dead leaves of a common ornamental plant, Dracaena draca known also as dragon tree was used as a biosorbent for the removal of Cadmium (Cd2+) from aqueous solutions using a full 23 factorial experimental design. Three factors were investigated at two different levels, metal ion concentration (X = 10 and 100 ppm), hydrogen ion concentration (Ph = 2 and 7) and biomass dose (BD = 0.1 and 0.5g). Experiments were carried out in duplicates with 50 ml of Cd2+ solutions at room temperature.When comparing observed values (experimental) with calculated values (model), they were set closely together that allowed suggesting a normal distribution where (R2 = 0.9938). A characterization of the biosorbent was done by pHzpc and SEM-EDAX.Results also showed that the most significant effect for Cd2+ biosorption was ascribed to (X). The interaction effects of (pH BD) and (X pH) were found to have significant influence on Cd2+ removal efficiency. The highest Cd2+ removal percentage attained by 79.60% at X = 10 ppm, pH = 7 and BD = 0.5g. The reusability of the biosorbent was tested in three desorption cycles and the regeneration efficiency was above 99.7%.

description: The biosorption efficiency of Cd2+ using rice straw was investigated at room temperature (25 ± 4 °C), contact time (2 h) and agitation rate (5 Hz). Experiments studied the effect of three factors, biosorbent dose BD (0.1 and 0.5 g/L), pH (2 and 7) and initial Cd2+ concentration X (10 and 100 mg/L) at two levels “low” and “high”. Results showed that, a variation in X from high to low revealed 31 % increase in the Cd2+ biosorption. However, a discrepancy in pH and BD from low to high achieved 28.60 and 23.61 % increase in the removal of Cd2+, respectively. From 23 factorial design, the effects of BD, pH and X achieved p value equals to 0.2248, 0.1881 and 0.1742, respectively, indicating that the influences are in the order X > pH > BD. Similarly, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system indicated that X is the most influential with training and checking errors of 10.87 and 17.94, respectively. This trend was …

description: We compute chromoelectric and chromomagnetic flux densities for hybrid static potentials in SU(2) and SU(3) lattice gauge theory. In addition to the ordinary static potential with quantum numbers $Λ_η^ε= Σ_g^+$, we present numerical results for seven hybrid static potentials corresponding to $Λ_η^{(ε)} = Σ_u^+, Σ_g^-, Σ_u^-, Π_g, Π_u, Δ_g, Δ_u$, where the flux densities of five of them are studied for the first time in this work. We observe hybrid static potential flux tubes, which are significantly different from that of the ordinary static potential. They are reminiscent of vibrating strings, with localized peaks in the flux densities that can be interpreted as valence gluons.

description: The fuzzy supersphere $S_F^{(2,2)}$ is a finite-dimensional matrix approximation to the supersphere $S^{(2,2)}$ incorporating supersymmetry exactly. Here the star-product of functions on $S_F^{(2,2)}$ is obtained by utilizing the OSp(2,1) coherent states. We check its graded commutative limit to $S^{(2,2)}$ and extend it to fuzzy versions of sections of bundles using the methods of [1]. A brief discussion of the geometric structure of our star-product completes our work.

description: The combined effects of metal ion concentration (X), hydrogen ion concentration (pH) and biomass dose (BD), on the biosorption of Cadmium Cd (II) were investigated. Two different plant biomasses; rice straw (Oryza sativa) and dragon tree leaves (Dracaena draca) were studied.The optimum conditions were found at (X)= 10 ppm,(pH)= 7 and (BD)= 0.5 g. Under these conditions, desirability values of 0.996 and 0.997 for rice straw and dragon tree leaves were obtained, showing that the calculated model may represent the experimental model and give the desired conditions. The samples before and after biosorption experiments were characterized by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy.
A model for spin-polarized transport in perovskite manganite bi-crystal grain boundaries

description: We have studied the temperature dependence of low-field magnetoresistance and current-voltage characteristics of a low-angle bi-crystal grain boundary junction in perovskite manganite La_{2/3}Sr_{1/3}MnO_3 thin film. By gradually trimming the junction we have been able to reveal the non-linear behavior of the latter. With the use of the relation M_{GB} \propto M_{bulk}\sqrt{MR^*} we have extracted the grain boundary magnetization. Further, we demonstrate that the built-in potential barrier of the grain boundary can be modelled by V_{bi}\propto M_{bulk}^2 - M_{GB}^2. Thus our model connects the magnetoresistance with the potential barrier at the grain boundary region. The results indicate that the band-bending at the grain boundary interface has a magnetic origin.

description: Este estudo analisa os impactos desiguais da pandemia da COVID-19 no trabalho, no emprego e no rendimento das famílias, através da combinação de dados oficiais e de informação estatística e qualitativa recolhida num inquérito online ao qual responderam mais de 11 mil pessoas. Demonstra-se que os impactos desta crise têm uma distribuição assimétrica entre setores de atividade e grupos socioeconómicos. As atividades ligadas ao turismo, que tiveram um papel muito significativo no aumento do emprego nos últimos anos, são as que estão a ser mais afetadas pela crise atual. A pandemia reproduziu e exacerbou desigualdades sociais que lhe eram anteriores. Os mais desqualificados e as famílias que tinham uma situação financeira desfavorecida antes da eclosão da pandemia COVID-19 foram os mais penalizados ao nível da variação do rendimento. A possibilidade de transição para o teletrabalho e as condições para o seu exercício variam também de acordo com o perfil socioeconómico das pessoas. This paper analysis the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on work, employment and income, by combining official statistics and quantitative and qualitative data collected in an online survey held by more than 11 thousand people. COVID-19 pandemic impacts are uneven across industries and social categories. Tourism-related activities, that pave the ground to employment growth in recent years, are being severely hit by the current crisis. The current pandemic reinforced inequalities that existed prior to its inception and created new ones. People who have less educational resources and the least well off lost took the hardest hit regarding income loss. The possibility to work from home and the conditions to do so vary quite considerably between socioeconomic categories.

description: We present the detailed analysis of genuine twist-3 contributions to the exclusive electroproduction amplitude of transversely polarized vector mesons. Using the formalism based on the QCD factorization in the momentum representation we calculated all the genuine twist-3 terms and found the total expression of this amplitude at 1/Q level. Generally speaking, these terms violate standard factorization owing to the existence of the infrared divergencies in the amplitude of hard sub-processes, although the strongest divergencies cancel due to the QCD equations of motion. We discuss the possible treatment of surviving divergencies.

Modelling Chlorophyll Degradation in Musa acuminata at Different Temperatures

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: The de-greening process in Cavendish bananas is a result of chlorophyll degradation, which is influenced by temperature and enzyme activity. Through measuring the chlorophyll content in bananas throughout maturation, we aimed to model the degradation of chlorophyll at two common temperatures for consumers—refrigerator (4 ℃) and room temperature (22.9 ℃)––comparing the rate of chlorophyll degradation at these temperatures. We fit our data using several models, determining the goodness of fit via chi-squared tests. By computing a t-score we compared the parameters—we found that the rate of chlorophyll degradation at room temperature was greater than that at fridge temperature. By modifying the kinetic formula for chlorophyll degradation to account for enzyme activity, we found the most suitable fit. This model takes the form: [𝑐ℎ𝑙](𝑡) = [𝑐ℎ𝑙]0𝑒−𝑘𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙[𝑡 −𝑒−𝑐𝑡 𝑐+1𝑐] + 𝑑.

description: A time-dependent method for calculating the collective excitation frequencies and densities of a trapped, inhomogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate with circulation is presented. The results are compared with time-independent solutions of the Bogoliubov-deGennes equations. The method is based on time-dependent linear-response theory combined with spectral analysis of moments of the excitation modes of interest. The technique is straightforward to apply, is extremely efficient in our implementation with parallel FFT methods, and produces highly accurate results. The method is suitable for general trap geometries, condensate flows and condensates permeated with vortex structures.

description: Modeling the dynamics of most astrophysical structures requires an adequate description of the radiation-matter interaction. Several numerical (magneto)hydrodynamics codes were upgraded with a radiation module to fulfill this request. However, those among them that use either the flux-limited diffusion (FLD) or the M1 radiation moment approaches are restricted to the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). This assumption may be not valid in some astrophysical cases. We present an upgraded version of the LTE radiation-hydrodynamics module implemented in the PLUTO code, originally developed by Kolb et al. (2013), which we have extended to handle non-LTE regimes. Starting from the general frequency-integrated comoving-frame equations of radiation hydrodynamics (RHD), we have justified all the assumptions made to obtain the non-LTE equations actually implemented in the module, under the FLD approximation. An operator-split method is employed, with two substeps: the hydrodynamic part is solved with an explicit method by the solvers already available in PLUTO, the non-LTE radiation diffusion and energy exchange part is solved with an implicit method. The module is implemented in the PLUTO environment. It uses databases of radiative quantities that can be provided independently by the user: the radiative power loss, the Planck and Rosseland mean opacities. Our implementation has been validated through different tests, in particular radiative shock tests. The agreement with the semi-analytical solutions (when available) is good, with a maximum error of 7%. Moreover, we have proved that non-LTE approach is of paramount importance to properly model accretion shock structures. Our radiation FLD module represents a step toward the general non-LTE RHD modeling. The module is available, under request, for the community.

description: Have you ever seen the “gibigiana”? It is a peculiar play of light, commonly found in Venice and other cities built on water, whereby the reflection of light on the canals projects abstract, moving images onto nearby surfaces. Beyond any scientific description, the gibigiana does not match a mathematical formula. It immediately invites other perspectives. In this article I examine the gibigiana as a “theoretical object” in order to explore the relationship between media and the environment. Instead of offering a fully developed theory, I sketch an open-ended reflection on this phenomenon. My working hypothesis considers the gibigiana as a boundary event—where physics, biology, perception, and imagination meet and challenge one other.
