description: The thermodynamic impact of the Coulomb repulsion on s-wave superconductors is analyzed via a rigorous study of equilibrium and ground states of the strong coupling BCS-Hubbard Hamiltonian. We show that the one-site electron repulsion can favor superconductivity at fixed chemical potential by increasing the critical temperature and/or the Cooper pair condensate density. If the one-site repulsion is not too large, a first or a second order superconducting phase transition can appear at low temperatures. The Meißner effect is shown to be rather generic but coexistence of superconducting and ferromagnetic phases is also shown to be feasible, for instance near half-filling and at strong repulsion. Our proof of a superconductor-Mott insulator phase transition implies a rigorous explanation of the necessity of doping insulators to create superconductors. These mathematical results are consequences of "quantum large deviation" arguments combined with an adaptation of the proof of Størmer's theorem to even states on the CAR algebra.

description: One of the most critical tasks at the very beginning of a quantum chemical investigation is the choice of either a multi- or single-configurational method. Naturally, many proposals exist to define a suitable diagnostic of the multi-configurational character for various types of wave functions in order to assist this crucial decision. Here, we present a new orbital-entanglement based multi-configurational diagnostic termed $Z_{s(1)}$. The correspondence of orbital entanglement and static (or nondynamic) electron correlation permits the definition of such a diagnostic. We chose our diagnostic to meet important requirements such as well-defined limits for pure single-configurational and multi-configurational wave functions. The $Z_{s(1)}$ diagnostic can be evaluated from a partially converged, but qualitatively correct, and therefore inexpensive density matrix renormalization group wave function as in our recently presented automated active orbital selection protocol. Its robustness and the fact that it can be evaluated at low cost make this diagnostic a practical tool for routine applications.

description: Το κλίμα αναφέρεται σε μια μακροπρόθεσμη διακύμανση στην ατμοσφαιρική κατάσταση μιας συγκεκριμένης περιοχής ή περιοχών, και η κλιματική αλλαγή σημαίνει μια σταδιακή αλλαγή στο κλιματικό σύστημα τόσο από φυσικές όσο και από τεχνητές αιτίες. Η κλιματική αλλαγή προκαλείται από την αλλαγή σε κάθε στοιχείο του κλιματικού συστήματος όπως η ατμόσφαιρα, υδροσφαίρα, βιόσφαιρα, κρυόσφαιρα και λιθόσφαιρα ή από περίπλοκες αλληλεπιδράσεις μεταξύ αυτών συστατικά. Το πρόβλημα της κλιματικής αλλαγής αποτέλεσε το κύριο ερευνητικό ερώτημα στην παρούσα διατριβή σε συνδυασμό με τις επιπτώσεις που έχει σε ξηροθερμικές περιοχές με υψηλή αγροτική παραγωγή όπως οι περιοχές της Μεσογείου και συγκεκριμένα η Ελλάδα και η Κύπρος. Έτσι, το κύριο ερώτημα που τέθηκε στην παρούσα έρευνα ήταν η σημασία της ενημέρωσης σχετικά με την κλιματική αλλαγή σε Ελλάδα και Κύπρο, σε παραγωγούς.
description: Climate refers to a long-term variation in the atmospheric state of a particular region or regions, and climate change means a gradual change in the climate system for both natural and artificial causes. Climate change is caused by changes in every element of the climate system such as the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, cryosphere and lithosphere or by complex interactions between these components. The problem of climate change was the main research question in the present dissertation in combination with the effects it has on arid areas with high agricultural production such as the Mediterranean and specifically Greece and Cyprus. Thus,the main question posed in the present study was the importance of information on climate change in Greece and Cyprus to producers.

description: Στη σύγχρονη εποχή, μια ιστορία μπορεί να εκδοθεί σε πολλαπλές εκδόσεις. Αυτό δε σημαίνει πως οι νεαροί αναγνώστες είναι σε θέση να κατανοήσουν πώς οι ερμηνευτικές δυνατότητες μίας ιστορίας διαμορφώνονται από τις δυνατότητες των διαφορετικών μέσων μέσω των οποίων βιώνονται οι ιστορίες (Jenkins, 2006; Kellner & Share, 2007; Luce-Kapler, 2007, όπ. ανάφ. στο Unsworth, 2014). Για την ανάπτυξη πρακτικών κριτικών πολυγραμματισμών οι μαθητές χρειάζεται να κατανοήσουν τους τρόπους με τους οποίους οι πηγές του λεκτικού και οπτικού κώδικα –όπως και γενικότερα άλλων σημειωτικών πόρων – μπορούν να αξιοποιηθούν τόσο μεμονωμένα, όσο και σε συνδυασμό προκειμένου να οικοδομήσουν διαφορετικά είδη νοημάτων. Υπό αυτήν την οπτική, η παρούσα εργασία, η οποία συνιστά μια ποιοτική έρευνα, έχει ως ερευνητικό στόχο να αναδείξει λειτουργικά προσανατολισμένες περιγραφές των διατροπικών σχέσεων ανάμεσα σε διαφορετικές διαδικασίες δημιουργίας νοήματος. Πραγματοποιείται μια συγκριτική ανάλυση μιας δημοφιλούς και ευρέως αναγνωρισμένης ιστορίας για παιδιά, σε έντυπη μορφή κειμένου και σε ταινία κινουμένων σχεδίων. Μέσα από την συγκριτική μελέτη αναμένεται να αναφανούν οι διαφορετικοί τρόποι με τους οποίους οι διαφορετικές μορφές κειμένων, δύνανται να μεταφέρουν συγκεκριμένα ιδεολογικά μηνύματα.
description: In modern times, a story can be published in multiple editions. This does not mean that young readers are able to understand how the interpretive possibilities of a story are shaped by the possibilities of the different media through which the stories are experienced. (Jenkins, 2006; Kellner & Share, 2007; Luce-Kapler, 2007, In Unsworth, 2014). To develop practical critical multiliteracies, students need to understand the ways in which the sources of verbal and visual code - as well as other semiotic resources in general - can be used both individually and in combination to construct different kinds of meanings. From this perspective, the present work, which is a qualitative research, aims to highlight functionally oriented descriptions of the intermodal relationships be-tween different processes of meaning creation. A comparative analysis of a popular and widely recognized children's story for children in book and animation movie edition is performed. The comparative study is expected to reveal the different ways in which different text formats can convey specific ideological messages.

description: A letter written to Monk at the Front in France from his young brother Henry in Winnepeg, Manitoba in July 1917. Biography: Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Benning Monk, well-known Victoria soldier and realtor was born in Winnipeg in 1884. In 1907 he enlisted with the active militia and in 1908 he became a gunner with the 13th Battery, Canadian Field Artillery (Manitoba Regiment). He turned to law when defective eyesight barred him from the permanent army then left that as "tedious". He followed his next employer to Victoria in 1908 and started work in the city engineer's department. His real estate career started with Pemberton & Sons, but he soon founded his own firm with Roger Monteith, which was responsible for forming several sub-divisions. He also was interested in developing Clo-ose as a resort area, but a change in the government planning halted the scheme. In the First World War he started service with the 54th Battalion, and fought in Vimy Ridge. Working between the wars as a realtor, he became Commanding Officer of the 5th Regiment. He was Commanding Officer of the Cadet Training Camp on the site of the present campus from 1940-41. After his Gordon Head post he became a liason officer of the U.S. Army from 1942-44. From 1930 until his death in 1959 Colonel Monk campaigned actively for a uniquely Canadian flag: designing flags, writing to M.P.'s and appealing to the general public.
Assessment of Occupational Health Risks, Outcomes and Associated Factors among Floriculture Farm Workers, East Showa, Oromia Region
Creators: name: Mohammed, Dagnachew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Background : Floriculture industry is a new agro-industry activity in Ethiopia. The expansion and growth of the industry magnified the economic significance of the sector, but the social and health implication of the sector was not given due attention. Objectives: This study aimed to assess occupational health risks, health outcomes and associated factors among floriculture farm workers, in East Showa Zone , Oromia Region. Methods : A mixed method research was conducted combining both quantitative survey & qualitative research methods from December 01,2012 to March 15, 2013. For the survey, 331 workers from four floriculture farms of the surrounding areas of Bishoftu town were selected using purposive sampling method based on proximity of farms from Addis Ababa. Data were collected through pre-tested structured questionnaire, key informant interview and working environmental check list. The qualitative data were coded and categorized using Open Code 3.6 software and analyzed using content analysis. The quantitative data were entered by using EPI Info version 3.5.1 and analyzed using SPSS and results were presented in tables and figures and odds ratio (OR) was taken as a measure of effect with 95% confidence interval to assess the level of significance. Ethical clearance was obtained from the School of Public Health Research and Ethics Committee and interviews were conducted after an informed consent. Result: Three hundred thirty workers participated in this study where 249(75.6%) of the workers had primary education or below. Two hundred seventy eight workers (84.24%) had at least one sign of occupational health symptoms. The most prevalent occupational health symptoms were fatigue 260(79.3%) followed by musculoskeletal health problems 209(63.3%), headache 193(58.7%), skin problems 189(57.3%), respiratory problems 148(45.5%), dizziness 86(26.2%), sleepiness 78(23.6%), kidney problem 77(23.3%), fainting 45(14%) and reproductive problems 10(3.4%). ix There was no job safety training given for workers at employment. This study found that workers who work as sprayers [AOR = 6.6, 95% CI (1.11-39.19)] had higher risk of occupational health symptoms and workers who were not satisfied by their job were less likely [AOR = 0.11, 95% CI (0.03-0.43)] to have had those disease symptoms. Conclusion: There were inadequate health and safety provisions such as health and safety education programs, personal protective equipments, health and safety instructions and first aid facilities, which make the workers at risk of occupational hazards. Pre-employment and periodic medical checkup, regular work area supervision, adequate supply of personal protective equipment, pre-employment and on-job health & safety training and use of Integrated Pest Management are recommended.

Επομένως, είναι απαραίτητη η ύπαρξη βιοδεικτών ή άλλων πληροφοριών που μπορούν να παρέχουν έγκαιρη πρόσβαση σε κατάλληλες θεραπείες. Η παρούσα εργασία αφορά σε επανάληψη της αρχικής βιοψίας στην επανασταδιοποίηση και αξιολόγηση εκ νέου της έκφρασης του γονιδίου PD-L1 σε ασθενείς με καρκίνο του πνεύμονα. Ασθενείς και Μέθοδοι: Πάρθηκαν βιοψίες σε συνολικά 471 ασθενείς με καρκίνο του πνεύμονα υπό την καθοδήγηση αξονικού τομογράφου, ενδοβρογχικού υπερήχου, και διαθωρακικού υπερήχου με κυρτή κεφαλή με βελόνες 18G και βελόνες 19G. Αποτελέσματα: Η εύρεση SUV≥5 συνδέεται με το γυναικείο φύλο,τον καρκίνο του πνεύμονα, το κάπνισμα, τις μεταστάσεις στο ήπαρ, το αδενοκαρκίνωμα και την έκφραση του γονιδίου PD-L1. Συγκεκριμένα, αναμένουμε ότι το SUV≥7 σχετίζεται με το PD-L1≥50. Συζήτηση: Οι μάζες των πνευμόνων, ασχέτως μεγέθους, που εμφανίζουν SUV≥7 έχουν πιθανότατα και έκφραση PD-L1≥50. Επίσης, είναι πιθανό αυτοί οι ασθενείς να είναι γυναίκες, καπνίστριες με ηπατικές ή πολλαπλές μεταστάσεις .
description: Introduction: Lung cancer is still diagnosed at an advanced stage and early treatment initiation is imperative for better management of the disease. Therefore, biomarkers or clusters of information that can provide early treatment prognosis are needed. Patients and Methods: Biopsies were acquired from 471 patients-lung masses with CT-guided biopsy, convex probe transthoracic biopsy and EBUS-TBNA convex probe with 18G needles and 19G needles. Results: SUV measurement is associated with female sex, smoking status, presence of hepatic metastases, diagnosis of adenocarcinoma and PD-L1 tumor expression. Specifically, SUV≥7 is expected to be associated with PD-L1≥50. Discussion: Lung masses, regardless of size, correlated with SUV≥7 will also show expression of PD-L1≥50. It is likely that patients exhibiting such characteristics will be female, smoking intensely, with hepatic or multiple other metastases.

description: Background: HIV testing and counseling are entry points to HIV-related care and prevention services, and provide opportunities for people to reduce their risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV. Very little has been done to assess the quality of VCT services in Addis Ababa. Objective: A cross sectional, facility based study was conducted in February 2006 to assess the quality of VCT services in Addis Ababa. Methodology: It used structured questionnaires adopted from standardized UNAIDS materials. The study involved 41 different VCT sites, 65 VCT counselors and 403 VCT clients for exit interview. Six clients per counselor for exit interview were selected systematically. Descriptive statistics were computed for most of the variables. A non parametric comparison was made for time variables among the three service provider sites. SPSS version 11.0 was used to enter, clean, and analyze the data. Results: Only 27 (69.2%) VCT sites provide follow up counseling for HIV positive individuals besides Pre- and Post-test counseling services. Twenty two VCT sites have a separate counseling room with adequate space. Out of 65 counselors, 61 (93.8%) were nurses and only 20 (30.8%) were self motivated to be one. In-service training was given for only 11(16.6%) counselors and only 24 (36.9%) attend counselors' support group. Over 83% of the clients came self referred and 177 (43.9%) clients chose the specific VCT site because it was close to home. The median waiting time to see a counselor was longer in government sites and waiting time to get test results was longer in private VCT sites. Over 79% of the clients were generally satisfied by the service. Conclusions: Majority of the VCT sites in Addis Ababa fulfilled the minimum requirements recommended by the WHO. There seemed to be lack of ongoing counseling training and support for counselors. There was a high satisfaction viii rate by the clients. However, counseling session durations were found to be less than the recommended. Recommendations: The regional government should take measures to enhance quality VCT services within the already available sites and establish more free standing sites. A strong counselors' support group should be formed and be able to enroll as many members as possible. Further studies should apply direct observation of counseling sessions.

description: The rainbow chain is an inhomogenous exactly solvable local spin model that, in its ground state, displays a half-chain entanglement entropy growing linearly with the system size. Although many exact results about the rainbow chain are known, the structure of the underlying quantum field theory has not yet been unraveled. Here we show that the universal scaling features of this model are captured by a massless Dirac fermion in a curved space-time with constant negative curvature $R=-h^2$ ($h$ is the amplitude of the inhomogeneity). This identification allows us to use recently developed techniques to study inhomogeneous conformal systems and to analytically characterise the entanglement entropies of more general bipartitions. These results are carefully tested against exact numerical calculations. Finally, we study the entanglement entropies of the rainbow chain in thermal states, and find that there is a non-trivial interplay between the rainbow effective temperature $T_R$ and the physical temperature $T$.

A component-based software system consists of integrated components that work together to perform specific tasks. Recent research results found that when integrating components for building a software system, developers need to consider complexity and criticality aspects of its integration structure. In this thesis, we propose a set of metrics for measuring the essential aspects of integrating components. Our set of metrics consists of two types: static and dynamic. Static metrics identify the complexity of interactions amongst the components of a system and their criticalities, such as bridge, link, inheritance and size criticality. These metrics help developers analyse the criticality of a software system. Dynamic metrics help predict the behavior of components during run time. We have validated our set of metrics theoretically and empirically. The theoretical validation is based on Weyuker’s properties and Kitchenham’s framework. For empirical validation, it is based on a smaller software project and a set of large-scale software projects. We are able to show how the metrics measure the complexity and criticality of a software system by employing a statistical calculation. For dynamic metrics, our studies show how to detect cycles to identify a new super-component and how active component metrics can be exercised to identify the usage of components. The set of metrics has been exercised to different standards, such as Corba Component Model, .NET platform and Java-based system. We have also applied the suite of metrics to the specification and testing stages of a component-based development. We demonstrate how it is applied to the UML specifications of a library system. In the testing stage, we are able to reduce the number of test cases by applying the metrics suite to a Personal Information Manager application. In conclusion, our studies validated that the proposed suite of metrics are useful for evaluating a Component Based System.

description: Zwischen Konsumgüterindustrie und Handelsunternehmen sind traditionell und strukturell konfliktäre Beziehungen angelegt. Seit Anfang der 90er Jahre werden unter dem Stichwort "Efficient Consumer Response" (ECR) jedoch partnerschaftliche Wege der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Herstellern und Handel propagiert. Eine Verwirklichung dieser Vision impliziert eine Abkehr von der bislang durch harte Auseinandersetzungen und starkes Misstrauen geprägten Geschäftspraxis. Gleichzeitig definiert sie einen Bedarf an unternehmensinternen Umstrukturierungen. Dieser Aufsatz geht den Fragen nach, welche arbeitspolitischen, organisatorischen und strategischen Veränderungen und Voraussetzungen auf betrieblicher Ebene mit dieser Umstellung verbunden sind, und warum die Aussicht auf beiderseitige Gewinne durch mehr Kooperation bislang im Alltagshandeln von Industrie und Handel keine stärkere Resonanz gefunden hat.

description: By mixing glass beads with a curable polymer we create a well-defined cohesive granular medium, held together by solidified, and hence elastic, capillary bridges. This material has a geometry similar to a wet packing of beads, but with an additional control over the elasticity of the bonds holding the particles together. We show that its mechanical response can be varied over several orders of magnitude by adjusting the size and stiffness of the bridges, and the size of the particles. We also investigate its mechanism of failure under unconfined uniaxial compression in combination with in situ x-ray microtomography. We show that a broad linear-elastic regime ends at a limiting strain of about 8%, whatever the stiffness of the agglomerate, which corresponds to the beginning of shear failure. The possibility to finely tune the stiffness, size and shape of this simple material makes it an ideal model system for investigations on, for example, fracturing of porous rocks, seismology, or root growth in cohesive porous media.

description: The monophyletic group of species around Dematochroma pilosa Jolivet, Verma & Mille is identified in this work by combining information from mitochondrial DNA data and morphological features. A series of defining traits diagnosing this species assemblage from its closest phylogenetic relatives, including the genera Thasycles Chapuis and Atrichatus Sharp, is used to argue for its taxonomic separation and propose a new genus, named Dematotrichus gen. nov. Both Dematochroma pilosa and Montrouzierella hispida Jolivet, Verma & Mille are transferred to the new genus as D. pilosus (Jolivet, Verma & Mille) comb. nov. and D. hispidus (Jolivet, Verma & Mille) comb. nov., and 11 new species are described: D. capillaris sp. nov., D. capillosus sp. nov., D. comans sp. nov., D. crinitus sp. nov., D. comatulus sp. nov., D. hirtus sp. nov., D. hirsutus sp. nov., D. horridus sp. nov., D. pubescens sp. nov., D. setosus sp. nov. and D. villosus sp. nov.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird aufgezeigt, wie man in der integrativen Sonderschulung in der Regelklasse vom Kindergarten bis zur 3. Klasse den Bereich Selbstversorgung durch handlungsorientierten Unterricht fördern kann. Der Ausgangspunkt war, dass die Förderung im Bereich Selbstversorgung in der integrierten Sonderschulung in der Regelklasse zu wenig institutionalisiert ist und es uns an geeigneten Unterrichtsmaterialien fehlte. Aus Lehrplänen der Schweiz und Deutschland erstellten wir eine Zusammenstellung mit den verschiedenen Bereichen der Selbstversorgung. Diese Zusammenstellung diente uns als Grundlage für das Unterrichtsmittel in Form einer Kartei mit dem dazugehörenden Begleitheft. In der Kartei zeigen wir anhand von zwei Bereichen auf, wie die Selbstversorgung im handlungsorientierten Unterricht konkret auf drei Denkniveaus umgesetzt und gefördert werden kann.

description: Background: There is a growing evidence suggesting that adolescent students in school are practicing risky sexual behavior. Ethiopian adolescents age 10 – 19 years have emerged as the segments of the population most vulnerable to a broad spectrum of serious sexual health problems including STI/HIV, unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion due to growing practice of unsafe sex. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to assess the magnitude of unsafe sex and factors contributing to it among preparatory school adolescent students in Addis Ababa. Methods: A school based cross-sectional study design was employed using a pre-tested selfadministered questionnaire and supplemented by focus group discussions which were conducted from May 1 to May 10, 2017 among preparatory students in Addis Ababa. A total of 840 students were selected using a malti- stage sampling technique. SPSS software version 16 was used to perform descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses to identify factors associated with no/ inconsistence condom use and having mutiple sexual partener. Qualitative data were manually analyzed. Results: Of the 789 study participants age 15-19 years, female participants were 465 (59%) and 324 (41%) male participants were involved. Three hundred fifteen (39.9%) respondents ever had sexual practice. From those students who ever had sexual practices, 122(38.7%) practicing unsafe sex, out of the 315 sexual active students 238(75.5%) ever had multiple sexual partners, 112(35.55%) used condom inconsistently whereas 220 (69.84%) of students never used condom during the last sexual intercourse and 224(28.4%) reported that their families didn't know their friends. Regarding the behavior of Adolescent, 324 (41.1%) drink alcohol, 215(27.2%) chew khat, 87 (11.0%) smoked shisha and 541 (68.6%) watched pornographic video. Adolescent students having family monitoring were protected from unsafe sex than those who don't have family monitoring (AOR=0.282, [95%CI: 0.130, 0.611], P=0.001). Adolescent consumed alcohol are 2.7 times at risk than adolescent not consuming alcohol (AOR=2.682, [95%CI: 1.166, 6.202], P=0.021). Conclusion: Engaging in unsafe sexual behaviors was independently associated with drinking alcohol and parental monitoring. Adolecents who drink alcohol are at risk for unsafe sex and adolecents who have family monitoring were protected from unsafe sex. Therefore, preparatory school based, risk reduction and behavior change focused interventions are recommended.

description: Entgegen den Verheißungen der Globalisierungstheorie ist es in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten im Weltmaßstab nicht zu einer Angleichung der Beschäftigungs- und Lebensverhältnisse gekommen. Soziale Ungleichheit ist zwischen und innerhalb der Nationalstaaten gewachsen. Lediglich die Regionen in Ost- und Südostasien konnten durch Handel und Kapitalzuflüsse hohes Wirtschaftswachstum erzielen, die Armut reduzieren und gegenüber den Industriestaaten aufholen, allerdings um den Preis verstärkter Einkommensungleichheit innerhalb der Länder. Die große Mehrzahl der Entwicklungsländer konnte sich ökonomisch wenig oder nicht verbessern. Arbeitslosigkeit, informelle und prekäre Beschäftigung, sowie Armut verblieben auf hohem Niveau oder wuchsen teilweise noch an.
description: Contrary to the promises of the theory of economic globalization, there has been no world-wide convergence of employment and living standards in recent decades. Social inequality has been rising across and within nation states. Only sub-regions in East and South East Asia enjoyed high economic growth through trade and capital inflows, and were able to reduce poverty and catch up with the industrialized countries. Yet, this came at the expense of increased internal income differentiation. The large majority of developing countries experienced little or no economic improvement. Unemployment, informal and precarious employment, and poverty remained at high levels or have even increased.

description: Background: Out of 334 million global prevalence of asthma, around 15% is attributable to occupational asthma. According to the 2014 WHO report, the disease affects about 5% of the global population, mainly in low and middle-income countries. Tannery workers perform many operations with different exposures to varieties of chemicals, which are harmful for their health through causing occupational diseases including asthma. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of occupational asthma and associated factors among tannery industries workers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2017/18. Methods: An institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted on the study participants of 348 tannery workers, which were selected by systematic random sampling in Addis Ababa from February to April 2018. Data collection performed by trained data collectors using pre-tested questionnaires and by work place observation. The collected data was analyzed by using IBM SPSS version 24. Descriptive statistics was done for all variables in the study and displayed as frequency, percentages, means and standard deviations. A bivariate and multivariate analysis was used to identify associated factors of occupational asthma with 95% CI and level of significant association (p-value of 0.05). Result: A total of 348 (97.8%) respondents were included in the study. Out of these, occupational asthma prevalence was 35.3% (n=123). Out of the total respondents, 57.8% were males and 56.3% ages were less than 35 years and their mean age were 34.53 years. Only 17% of respondents had trained on PPE use. The odds of illiterate respondents were 2 times more likely to be asthmatic (AOR = 2.021; 95% CI: 0.645, 6.328) than respondents of educational level > grade 12. A work experience of > 20 years had 2 times more likely to be asthmatic than respondents of 1-5 experiences in years (AOR = 1.981; 95% CI: 1.008, 3.892). Conclusion and Recommendation: The overall prevalence rate of occupational asthma in tanneries of Addis Ababa was 353 per 1000 exposed workers. MOLSA, AAU, MOH, and Ministry of Industry should give attention and enforce an integrated emphasis to establish and properly apply an active and functional health and safety programs through strengthen strict supervision of workplace and working conditions.

description: We demonstrate a new way to extend the coherence time of separated Bose-Einstein condensates that involves immersion into a superfluid bath. When both the system and the bath have similar scattering lengths, immersion in a superfluid bath cancels out inhomogeneous potentials either imposed by external fields or inherent in density fluctuations due to atomic shot noise. This effect, which we call superfluid shielding, allows for coherence lifetimes beyond the projection noise limit. We probe the coherence between separated condensates in different sites of an optical lattice by monitoring the contrast and decay of Bloch oscillations. Our technique demonstrates a new way that interactions can improve the performance of quantum devices.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) semi-Dirac materials are characterized by a quadratic dispersion in one direction and a linear dispersion along the orthogonal direction. We study the topological phase transition in such 2D systems in the presence of an electromagnetic field. We show that a Chern insulating state emerges in a semi-Dirac system with two gapless Dirac nodes in the presence of light. In particular, we show that the intensity of a circularly polarized light can be used as a knob to generate topological states with nonzero Chern number. In addition, for fixed intensity and frequency of the light, a semi-Dirac system with two gapped Dirac nodes with trivial band topology can reveal the topological transition as a function of polarization of the light.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία γίνεται προσπάθεια να μελετηθεί κατά πόσο η εμπιστοσύνη των πολιτών προς τους πολιτικούς θεσμούς συνδέεται με την κρίση που αντιμετωπίζουν οι σύγχρονες δημοκρατίες, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα επίπεδα συμμετοχής και συμπερίληψης των πολιτών στις διαδικασίες άσκησης πολιτικής στην Ελλάδα και στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση (ΕΕ). Παράλληλα, παρουσιάζεται η δημοκρατική διάσταση της Μελέτης του Μέλλοντος, ή αλλιώς Προοπτική Διερεύνηση, και μελετάται σε ποιο βαθμό η ενίσχυση προορατικής κουλτούρας στις διαδικασίες άσκησης πολιτικής είναι δυνατόν να ενισχύσει την κοινωνική συνοχή και να συμβάλλει στην ανανέωση των διαδικασιών λήψης αποφάσεων. Τέλος, προτείνεται η Προβλεπτική Δημοκρατία, ένα καινοτόμο φιλελεύθερο δημοκρατικό μοντέλο, ως το μέσον που συνεισφέρει στην ανθεκτικότητα των κοινωνιών, στην κοινωνική ενδυνάμωση, στην ενεργό συμμετοχή των εμπλεκόμενων φορέων στη δημόσια σφαίρα και στην εισαγωγή καινοτόμων μεθόδων χάραξης πολιτικής.
description: In this thesis is being studied whether citizens’ confidence in political institutions is linked to the crisis faced by modern democracies, considering the level of participation and inclusion in exercise policy by the citizens in Greece and the European Union. At the same time, the democratic dimension of Future Studies - or otherwise Foresight - is presented and studied to what extent the enhancement of a prospective culture in exercise policy can strengthen social cohesion and contribute to renewing decision-making processes. Finally, it is proposed that Anitcipatory Democracy, an innovative liberal democratic model, as a mean that contributes to the resilience of societies, social empowerment, active involvement of stakeholders in the public sphere and the introduction of innovative policy-making methods.

description: We develop a new class of supergravity cosmological models where inflation is induced by terms in the Kähler potential which mix a nilpotent superfield $S$ with a chiral sector $Φ$. As the new terms are non-(anti)holomorphic, and hence cannot be removed by a Kähler transformation, these models are intrinsically Kähler potential driven. Such terms could arise for example due to a backreaction of an anti-D3 brane on the string theory bulk geometry. We show that this mechanism is very general and allows for a unified description of inflation and dark energy, with controllable SUSY breaking at the vacuum. When the internal geometry of the bulk field is hyperbolic, we prove that small perturbative Kähler corrections naturally lead to $α$-attractor behaviour, with inflationary predictions in excellent agreement with the latest Planck data

description: Das Kooperative Lernen in der Schule erfreut sich zunehmender Beliebtheit. Kinder mit Defiziten in ihren interaktionalen und kommunikativen Fertigkeiten können aber Mühe haben, erfolgreich an kooperativen Aktivitäten teilzunehmen. In einem Aktionsforschungsprojekt an einer Sonderschule wurde angestrebt, die kooperativen Fertigkeiten in einer Mittelstufenklasse mittels einer von Mercer entwickelten Praxisintervention mit speziellem Fokus auf die kommunikative Interaktion (Thinking Together Project) zu fördern. In einem Pre-/Post-Test Vergleich des kommunikativen Verhaltens der Schüler in Kooperationsübungen wurde eine Zunahme der interaktiven Gesprächsqualität festgestellt. Die Analyse der Entwicklungsprozesse zeigte, dass nicht alle Schüler gleichermassen von der Intervention profitierten. Relevante Faktoren bei der Förderung kooperativer Fertigkeiten werden aufgezeigt und diskutiert.
