description: Am Beispiel einer Stichprobe von 22 Pflegeteams aus fünf Organisationen in der Langzeitpsychiatrie bzw. Altenpflege wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob subjektiv repräsentierte Organisationsstrukturen team- bzw. kooperationsbezogene Einstellungsmuster beeinflussen und ob das in der Folge Auswirkungen auf die Qualität der Teamarbeit sowie die subjektive Gesundheit hat. Die subjektiv wahrgenommenen Organisationsstrukturen werden anhand der Organisationsdimensionen Differenzierung, Entscheidungszentralisation und Programmierung operationalisiert. Mit den eingesetzten Skalen lassen sich in einer explorativen Faktorenanalyse die drei Organisationsdimensionen nicht replizieren. In die weitere Analyse geht die neu formulierte Dimension Zentralisation ein. Die Messung teambezogener Einstellungen und der Qualität der Teamarbeit erfolgt über vorhandene und validierte Messinstrumente, ebenso die Erfassung der Outcome-Variable subjektive Gesundheit. In einer hypothesengenerienden Pfadanalyse kann ein Modell gebildet werden, welches die begründete Annahme zulässt, dass wahrgenommene organisationale Merkmale kooperationsförderliche Einstellungsmuster begünstigen. Diese beeinflussen ihrerseits die Qualität der Teamarbeit positiv. Die subjektive Gesundheit als Indikator für Folgen kann zu einem Teil auch durch die Qualität der Teamarbeit erklärt werden. Für die weitere Erhärtung dieses Befundes ist der Einbezug objektiver Daten zur Kennzeichnung der organisationalen Rahmenbedingungen vorgesehen.

description: Trotz der einfach erkennbaren Vorteile von Organisationsberatung gegenüber anderen Beratungsformen ist bis heute unklar geblieben, wie genau und unter welchen Bedingungen Organisationsberatung funktioniert. Der Beitrag gibt Antworten darauf, welche Interaktionsform einen Organisationsberatungsprozess konstituiert, und inwieweit sie organisationale Strukturänderungen herbeiführen kann. Dabei zeigt er am Beispiel der ostdeutschen Beratungslandschaft auf, dass der sanfte, nicht direktive Weg der Organisationsberatung harten Gestaltungsrestriktionen ausgesetzt war. Durch Organisationsberatung konnten nicht ohne weiteres wirksame Änderungseffekte erzielt werden. Organisationsberatung erwies sich, anders als ihre Vertreter postulieren, in der ostdeutschen Strukturkrise als ebenso enttäuschungsreiche wie voraussetzungsvolle Form von Beratung. Es zeigte sich, dass Organisationsberatung nur begrenzt krisentauglich war. Dabei galt: Je professionalisierter die Organisation war, desto eher schuf sie wirksame Gestaltungsformen von Beratung und desto eher gelang es ihr, durch Organisationsberatung angeregte Strukturänderungen in der Organisation zu stabilisieren.

description: We develop theoretical finite-sample results concerning the size of wild bootstrap-based heteroskedasticity robust tests in linear regression models. In particular, these results provide an efficient diagnostic check, which can be used to weed out tests that are unreliable for a given testing problem in the sense that they overreject substantially. This allows us to assess the reliability of a large variety of wild bootstrap-based tests in an extensive numerical study.

description: Der Beitrag schließt eine wesentliche Lücke in der vorliegenden Literatur zur Europäischen Aktiengesellschaft (SE), indem die bislang dominierenden, rein juristischen Beschreibungen durch eine industrial relations-Perspektive ergänzt. Nach der Einleitung zu nationalen Unterschieden der Arbeitnehmerbeteiligung wird zunächst zum besseren Verständnis der SE, vor allem der wesentlichen Probleme ihrer Regulierungsmaximen, die aktuellere Entwicklung im Sinne "stilisierter Fakten" analysiert. Anschließend werden die Richtlinien zu Europäischen Betriebsräten sowie zur SE verglichen, wobei trotz vorhandener Gemeinsamkeiten die offensichtlichen Hauptunterschiede im Mittelpunkt stehen. Weiterhin wird belegt, dass die SE das prototypische Beispiel für einen neuen, gegenwärtig dominierenden Modus europäischer Regulierung darstellt. Der Beitrag schlussfolgert, dass die Zukunftsaussichten europäischer Arbeitsbeziehungen nach wie vor pessimistisch zu beurteilen sind.

A Comparative Analysis of Credit Service Provision in Selected Private Commercial Banks versus Micro Finance Institutions in Addis Ababa: Eligibility Criteria, Prioritized Sectors and Efficiency of Service Provision
Creators: name: Tsehaye, G/Michael
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The main objective of the study was to make comparisons between private commercial Banks and micro finance institutions in respect of four variables and the challenges therein. A descriptive statistical analysis technique was employed in addition to the adoption of Efficiency Matrix Model applied by Dima et.al (2016). Questionnaires were administered on a sample frame selected with purposive sampling technique rationalizing on the relevance of the samples and not their quantitative representativeness to the general population for the purpose of this specific research. Against any prior perceptions, both institutional formations exhibited more similarities when it comes to operational efficiencies and risk appetite. The study found out those stringent regulatory restrictions, capital and infrastructural challenges categorically limited the financial sector's growth ambitions amid the now familiar financial inclusion discourse. Size of the loans is to be the factor determining the depth of analysis and scrutiny. Given the visible disparity in size of the loans at Banks and MFIs, flexibility in evaluation criteria demonstrated consistent difference.

description: Neurodegenerative progression of Parkinson’s disease affects brain structure and function and, concomitantly, alters topological properties of brain networks. The network alteration accompanied with motor impairment and duration of the disease is not yet clearly demonstrated in the disease progression. In this study, we aim at resolving this problem with a modeling approach based on large-scale brain networks from cross-sectional MRI data. Optimizing whole-brain simulation models allows us to discover brain networks showing unexplored relationships with clinical variables. We observe that simulated brain networks exhibit significant differences between healthy controls (n=51) and patients with Parkinson’s disease (n=60) and strongly correlate with disease severity and disease duration of the patients. Moreover, the modeling results outperform the empirical brain networks in these clinical measures. Consequently, this study demonstrates that utilizing simulated brain networks provides an enhanced view on network alterations in the progression of motor impairment and potential biomarkers for clinical indices.

description: We determine the equation of state of 2+1-flavor QCD with physical quark masses, in the presence of a constant (electro)magnetic background field on the lattice. To determine the free energy at nonzero magnetic fields we develop a new method, which is based on an integral over the quark masses up to asymptotically large values where the effect of the magnetic field can be neglected. The method is compared to other approaches in the literature and found to be advantageous for the determination of the equation of state up to large magnetic fields. Thermodynamic observables including the longitudinal and transverse pressure, magnetization, energy density, entropy density and interaction measure are presented for a wide range of temperatures and magnetic fields, and provided in ancillary files. The behavior of these observables confirms our previous result that the transition temperature is reduced by the magnetic field. We calculate the magnetic susceptibility and permeability, verifying that the thermal QCD medium is paramagnetic around and above the transition temperature, while we also find evidence for weak diamagnetism at low temperatures.

Internal service climate and psychological Empowerment Effect on Employees Job Satisfaction the case Study of Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation
Creators: name: Mohammed, Wasihun
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: According to recent figures, services account for over 50 percent of gross domestic product in many countries and over one quarter of world trade. In a dynamic, global business environment, service industries try to compete by providing high-quality customer service via empowering their workforce. Currently both industry and academia have shown a growing interest in the concept of employee empowerment. Empowerment has become particularly important for services, aiming to control or enhance service quality and customer satisfaction at the point of service production. Furthermore, empowerment increases job satisfaction and reduces role stress. The main purpose of this study was to explore the relation and effect of internal service climate and psychological empowerment on employees' job satisfaction. The research has been designed as a case study. Both primary and secondary data were used in the research. A survey questionnaire with five point Likert scale was a main tool for gathering primary data about internal service climate and psychological empowerment effect on job satisfaction. A total of 80 (18% of the population) participants in the Head office and one randomly selected region of Addis Ababa District Coordinator Office participated in filling the questionnaires. These participants were selected using convenience sampling method. The findings of this study indicated that respondents have medium satisfaction on the current internal service climate and psychological empowerment of the corporation. The correlation result indicates there is positive relationship between internal service climate and psychological empowerment. Similarly, based on linear regression result Internal service climate and psychological empowerment have a positive effect on job satisfaction.…

In this paper, we show that ${\bf s}$-lecture hall polytopes satisfy the integer decomposition property (IDP) in the case of monotonic ${\bf s}$-sequences. Given restrictions on a monotonic ${\bf s}$-sequence, we discuss necessary and sufficient conditions for the Fano, reflexive and Gorenstein properties. Additionally, we give a construction for producing Gorenstein/IDP lecture hall polytopes.

description: Der vorliegende Beitrag geht auf der Grundlage einer repräsentativen Erhebung der Frage nach, wie breit und kohärent Dezentralisierungsmaßnahmen in der deutschen Investitionsgüterindustrie umgesetzt wurden. Dabei wird zwischen operativer und strategischer Dezentralisierung unterschieden. Es zeigt sich, dass das Ausmaß der Diffusion in hohem Maße davon bestimmt wird, was sich hinter modischen Etiketten wie Gruppenarbeit, Hierarchieabbau, Aufgabenintegration oder Segmentierung verbirgt. Gleichzeitig wird deutlich, dass umfassende und kohärente Dezentralisierung in der Industrie bislang eher die Ausnahme ist. Einseitig die strategischen Dezentralisierungsansätze betonende Dezentralisierungsmuster sind dagegen weiter verbreitet. Abschließend wird gezeigt, dass die Dezentralisierung sowohl Auswirkungen auf die betriebliche Leistungsfähigkeit wie auch auf die Personalseite hat.

description: We show that resonant dipole-dipole interactions between Rydberg atoms in a triangular lattice can give rise to artificial magnetic fields for spin excitations. We consider the coherent dipole-dipole coupling between $np$ and $ns$ Rydberg states and derive an effective spin-1/2 Hamiltonian for the $np$ excitations. By breaking time-reversal symmetry via external fields we engineer complex hopping amplitudes for transitions between two rectangular sub-lattices. The phase of these hopping amplitudes depends on the direction of the hop. This gives rise to a staggered, artificial magnetic field which induces non-trivial topological effects. We calculate the single-particle band structure and investigate its Chern numbers as a function of the lattice parameters and the detuning between the two sub-lattices. We identify extended parameter regimes where the Chern number of the lowest band is $C=1$ or $C=2$.

description: It is generally agreed that one origin of machine bias is resulting from characteristics within the dataset on which the algorithms are trained, i.e., the data does not warrant a generalized inference. We, however, hypothesize that a different `mechanism', hitherto not articulated in the literature, may also be responsible for machine's bias, namely that biases may originate from (i) the programmers' cultural background, such as education or line of work, or (ii) the contextual programming environment, such as software requirements or developer tools. Combining an experimental and comparative design, we studied the effects of cultural metaphors and contextual metaphors, and tested whether each of these would `transfer' from the programmer to program, thus constituting a machine bias. The results show (i) that cultural metaphors influence the programmer's choices and (ii) that `induced' contextual metaphors can be used to moderate or exacerbate the effects of the cultural metaphors. This supports our hypothesis that biases in automated systems do not always originate from within the machine's training data. Instead, machines may also `replicate' and `reproduce' biases from the programmers' cultural background by the transfer of cultural metaphors into the programming process. Implications for academia and professional practice range from the micro programming-level to the macro national-regulations or educational level, and span across all societal domains where software-based systems are operating such as the popular AI-based automated decision support systems.

One-Dimensional Self-Organization and Nonequilibrium Phase Transition in a Hamiltonian System

description: Self-organization and nonequilibrium phase transitions are well known to occur in two- and three- dimensional dissipative systems. Here, instead, we provide numerical evidence that these phenomena also occur in a one-dimensional Hamiltonian system. To this end, we calculate the heat conductivity by coupling the two ends of our system to two heat baths at different temperatures. It is found that when the temperature difference is smaller than a critical value, the heat conductivity increases with the system size in power law with an exponent considerably smaller than 1. However, as the temperature difference exceeds the critical value, the system's behavior undergoes a transition and the heat conductivity tends to diverge linearly with the system size. Correspondingly, an ordered structure emerges. These findings suggest a new direction for exploring the transport problems in one dimension.

description: Connectivity studies using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging are increasingly pooling data acquired at multiple sites. While this may allow investigators to speed up recruitment or increase sample size, multisite studies also potentially introduce systematic biases in connectivity measures across sites. In this work, we measure the inter-site effect in connectivity and its impact on our ability to detect individual and group differences. Our study was based on real, as opposed to simulated, multisite fMRI datasets collected in N=345 young, healthy subjects across 8 scanning sites with 3T scanners and heterogeneous scanning protocols, drawn from the 1000 functional connectome project. We first empirically show that typical functional networks were reliably found at the group level in all sites, and that the amplitude of the inter-site effects was small to moderate, with a Cohen's effect size below 0.5 on average across brain connections. We then implemented a series of Monte-Carlo simulations, based on real data, to evaluate the impact of the multisite effects on detection power in statistical tests comparing two groups (with and without the effect) using a general linear model, as well as on the prediction of group labels with a support-vector machine. As a reference, we also implemented the same simulations with fMRI data collected at a single site using an identical sample size. Simulations revealed that using data from heterogeneous sites only slightly decreased our ability to detect changes compared to a monosite study with the GLM, and had a greater impact on prediction accuracy. Taken together, our results support the feasibility of multisite studies in rs-fMRI provided the sample size is large enough.

description: Ethiopian government has developed and implemented HEP to improve the health status of communities particularly those who reside in rural areas of the country since 2004/5. The thesis focuses on the assessement of achievements and challenges of the implementation of Health Extension Program. The objective of the study is to assess the achievements and challenges of Health Extension Program in Goro and Weliso woredas. As to the research methodology, descriptive method was used. Stratified multi- stage cluster sampling was employed to select sample households. Six (6) kebeles were randomly selected from the two woredas. From these kebeles a total of 150 households were randomly chosen. Simple random sampling was used to select Health Extension Workers and Supervisors. Purposive sampling was utilised to select woreda health administrators. Schedule questionnaire, observations and interview were applied to obtain first-hand information. Regarding research findings, inappropriate ITNs utilisation prevalence was high among households; people's attitudes towards using family planning services have not been well changed; basic preconditions such as construction of health posts, and supply of equipment and supplies were not fulfilled and Health Extension Workers are not competent enough to render quality health services. Speeding up the construction of health posts and supply of facilities, strong health education and communication, integrated refreshing trainings for Health extension Workers are some of the major recommendations put forwarded

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The main objective of this study is to investigate the influence of service recovery on customer satisfaction the case of Addis Ababa University: School of Commerce. Service recovery is the action taken by a service provider to solve a customer complaint concerning perceived service failure. A survey questioner used for the purpose of data collection. The sample size of this study was 341 undergraduate regular and extension students of school of commerce in the year 2017/2018G.C and determined by, Yamane (1967) finite and large populations sample size formula with 95% confidence level employed. The researcher adopted a probability (stratified sampling method) and non-probability (purposive sampling) methods in combination. Multiple linear regression analysis used to determine the relationship among dependent and independent variables. The major limitation of this study is focusing only in Addis Ababa University specifically school of commerce. This makes it difficult to identify the position of school of commerce in relation to other competing universities in the country. The three perceived justice dimensions-distributive, procedural and interactional justices (independent variables) have positive effect on the overall customer satisfaction (dependent variable).As per the finding of this study; the most important dimension is interactional justice, followed by procedural and distributive justices. Based on the results distributive justice is the major contributor, interactional justice is the second and procedural justice is the third (least) contributor to boost customer satisfaction in the case of AAUSC. Based on the findings of this study; very large number of students prefer "AAUSC" by its brand name than the quality of service given by the school. The major service failure areas in school of commerce identified by this study are-registrar staffs miss conduct, discomfort on library service, problem on learning and teaching process, communication problem and instructor"s performance level consecutively. The study recommends the need for school of commerce to work closely with different stakeholders like instructors, student council, staffs, committee of student"s families and even from the responsible government bodies to minimize the stated service failures on this study and to achieve the vision, mission and values of the university

description: ALMA observations in the CO 1 - 0 line of the interacting galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207 at 2" x 1.5" resolution reveal how the encounter drives gas to pile up in narrow, ~ 1 kpc wide, "eyelids" in IC 2163. IC 2163 and NGC 2207 are involved in a grazing encounter, which has led to development in IC 2163 of an eye-shaped (ocular) structure at mid-radius and two tidal arms. The CO data show that there are large velocity gradients across the width of each eyelid, with a mixture of radial and azimuthal streaming of gas at the outer edge of the eyelid relative to its inner edge. The sense of the radial streaming in the eyelids is consistent with the idea that gas from the outer part of IC 2163 flows inward until its radial streaming slows down abruptly and the gas piles up in the eyelids. The radial compression at the eyelids causes an increase in the gas column density by direct radial impact and also leads to a high rate of shear. We find a strong correlation between the molecular column densities and the magnitude of dv/dR across the width of the eyelid at fixed values of azimuth. Substantial portions of the eyelids have high velocity dispersion in CO, indicative of elevated turbulence there.

Parcours patient [Analyse]

description: Le centre hospitalier intercommunal de Poissy-Saint-Germain-en-Laye a souhaité améliorer l’évaluation du parcours du patient en mettant en œuvre ce que l’on nomme actuellement l’« expérience patient ». Nous avons voulu partager cette réflexion autour d’une co-construction associant professionnels, représentants des usagers et personnes utilisant le système de soins. Ce projet a été élaboré avec les différentes directions et formalisé lors d’une formation-action accompagnée par l’Institut français de l’expérience patient. Vingt-deux personnes ont pu intégrer ce groupe et réaliser à distance les entretiens relatifs à la sortie des patients de deux parcours de soins. Ces entretiens basés sur l’écoute active ont été enrichis par leur réalisation par binôme soignant-administratif ou soignant-représentant des usagers. Cette nouvelle démarche de patient partenaire apporte un regard différent, des propositions issues des patients, centrées sur leurs besoins. Cette action collective permet de développer la culture qualité et de redonner du sens au soin par un autre regard.

The Assessment of Marketing Mix in Prompting Customer Satisfaction (A case study on the National Alcohol and Liquors Factory)
Creators: name: Anley, Zelalem
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: Today's companies (special regard to the National Alcohol and Liquors Factory) are facing toughest competition than ever. Companies can win the competition by doing a better job in order to satisfy the customers' needs and wants, and customer-centered companies are adopt at building customers not just building a product. The study focuses on the assessments of marketing mix elements in prompting customer satisfaction for the case of the producer of the aforementioned factory, the National Alcohol and Liquors Factory. The main objective of the study was that to find out whether customers are satisfied with regard to the four controllable variable marketing mix factors (product, price promotion and distribution). This study helps to fill the gap related to the factory products and its level of customer satisfaction with regard to the 4p's utilized by the factory. Such study helps the factory to be aware of its customer's satisfaction level that will move in parallel with the changing customers need and want. The necessary data have been collected using primary sources of data collection (interviews and questionnaires) and secondary sources of data collection (factory documents, by visiting library and online journals). The data were processed, analyzed and interpreted using frequencies and percentages. This study concludes that customers are satisfied with the quality of products and the distribution (place) systems of the factory yet they are not satisfied with the price and that of the promotional practices of the factory. I recommended that the factory must assure the quality of its products in order to win customers' satisfaction and consequently achieve a competitive advantage and long run survival. In order to alleviate the problems in the pricing of the products, the factory should set its pricing techniques based on the analysis of the customer's perception of the product value and the factory should try to be effective in its promotional activity to communicate the benefits offered by its products and initiate customers towards purchase. Finally the factory must choose distributors that reach its customers most effectively and other intermediaries that add value to the distributive process (the factory should expand its local market coverage and increase its market share by selling the products even in rural areas).
Irreducibility of random polynomials: general measures

description: Let $μ$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{Z}$ that is not a Dirac mass and that has finite support. We prove that if the coefficients of a monic polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree $n$ are chosen independently at random according to $μ$ while ensuring that $f(0)\neq0$, then there is a positive constant $θ=θ(μ)$ such that $f(x)$ has no divisors of degree $\le θn$ with probability that tends to 1 as $n\to\infty$. Furthermore, in certain cases, we show that a random polynomial $f(x)$ with $f(0)\neq0$ is irreducible with probability tending to 1 as $n\to\infty$. In particular, this is the case if $μ$ is the uniform measure on a set of at least 35 consecutive integers, or on a subset of $[-H,H]\cap\mathbb{Z}$ of cardinality $\ge H^{4/5}(\log H)^2$ with $H$ sufficiently large. In addition, in all of these settings, we show that the Galois group of $f(x)$ is either $\mathcal{A}_n$ or $\mathcal{S}_n$ with high probability. Finally, when $μ$ is the uniform measure on a finite arithmetic progression of at least two elements, we prove a random polynomial $f(x)$ as above is irreducible with probability $\geδ$ for some constant $δ=δ(μ)>0$. In fact, if the arithmetic progression has step 1, we prove the stronger result that the Galois group of $f(x)$ is $\mathcal{A}_n$ or $\mathcal{S}_n$ with probability $\geδ$.

description: Quantum correlations reflect the quantumness of a system and are useful resources for quantum information and computational processes. The measures of quantum correlations do not have a classical analog and yet are influenced by the classical dynamics. In this work, by modelling the quantum kicked top as a multi-qubit system, the effect of classical bifurcations on the measures of quantum correlations such as quantum discord, geometric discord, Meyer and Wallach $Q$ measure is studied. The quantum correlation measures change rapidly in the vicinity of a classical bifurcation point. If the classical system is largely chaotic, time averages of the correlation measures are in good agreement with the values obtained by considering the appropriate random matrix ensembles. The quantum correlations scale with the total spin of the system, representing its semiclassical limit. In the vicinity of the trivial fixed points of the kicked top, scaling function decays as a power-law. In the chaotic limit, for large total spin, quantum correlations saturate to a constant, which we obtain analytically, based on random matrix theory, for the $Q$ measure. We also suggest that it can have experimental consequences.

Coinductive proof search for polarized logic with applications to full intuitionistic propositional logic

description: The approach to proof search dubbed "coinductive proof search", and previously developed by the authors for implicational intuitionistic logic, is in this paper extended to LJP, a focused sequent-calculus presentation of polarized intuitionistic logic, including an array of positive and negative connectives. As before, this includes developing a coinductive description of the search space generated by a sequent, an equivalent inductive syntax describing the same space, and decision procedures for inhabitation problems in the form of predicates defined by recursion on the inductive syntax. We prove the decidability of existence of focused inhabitants, and of finiteness of the number of focused inhabitants for polarized intuitionistic logic, by means of such recursive procedures. Moreover, the polarized logic can be used as a platform from which proof search for other logics is understood. We illustrate the technique with LJT, a focused sequent calculus for full intuitionistic propositional logic (including disjunction). For that, we have to work out the "negative translation" of LJT into LJP (that sees all intuitionistic types as negative types), and verify that the translation gives a faithful representation of proof search in LJT as proof search in the polarized logic. We therefore inherit decidability of both problems studied for LJP and thus get new proofs of these results for LJT.
description: 22 pages incl. appendices; we now stress the dependence of the results on specific proof systems (seen in the abstract, hence the change of title). LJT now comes at the end of the main text. Thm 8 (was Thm 14) evolved, and we abandon modifications in the vector of declarations in two clauses for finitary representation. There is new material on type finiteness in LJP (developed in the appendix)

description: We introduce an equilibrium formulation of the functional renormalization group (fRG) for inhomogeneous systems capable of dealing with spatially finite-ranged interactions. In the general third order truncated form of fRG, the dependence of the two-particle vertex is described by O(N^4) independent variables, where N is the dimension of the single-particle system. In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. B 89, 045128 (2014)], the so-called coupled-ladder approximation (CLA) was introduced and shown to admit a consistent treatment for models with a purely onsite interaction, reducing the vertex to O(N^2) independent variables. Here, we extend this scheme to the extended coupled ladder approximation (eCLA), which includes a spatially extended feedback between the individual channels, measured by a feedback length L, using O(N^2 L^2) independent variables for the vertex. We apply the eCLA to three types of one-dimensional models : First, to a quantum point contact (QPC) with a parabolic barrier top and short-ranged interactions. Here eCLA achieves convergence for L equal to the characteristic length l_x of the QPC. It also turns out that the additional feedback stabilizes the fRG-flow. This enables us, second, to study the crossover between a QPC and a quantum dot, again for a model with short-ranged interactions. Third, the enlarged feedback also enables the treatment of a finite-ranged interaction extending over up to L sites. Estimating the form of such a finite-ranged interaction in a QPC, we study its effects on the conductance and the density. For low densities and sufficiently large interaction ranges the conductance develops additional oscillatory features, and the corresponding density shows fluctuations that can be interpreted as Friedel oscillations arising from a renormalized barrier shape with a rather flat top and steep flanks.
