description: Previous studies have confirmed that teachers’ commitment is one of the vital elements determining the success of any educational system. However, there was a paucity of research that measured teachers' professional commitment using occupation-specific scale; and also linked it to demographic factors. The purpose of this study was to measure teachers' professional commitment using occupation occupation-specific scale comprising five dimensions, namely commitment to students, to the profession, to society, to achieving excellence, and to basic human values. The study examined teachers’ professional commitment in terms of their gender, teaching experience, and education level in public universities in Addis Ababa. To this end, 590 teachers were recruited from four universities through a proportionate random sampling technique. A standardized questionnaire with forty-five items was used for quantitative data collection. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for data analysis. For descriptive analysis frequency, mean and standard deviations were employed while independent t-tests and ANOVA tests were employed for inferential statistics. The results indicated that the overall professional commitment level in four universities was found to be at a moderate level. The results further demonstrated that teachers’ professional commitment was found to be significantly different among teachers in terms of gender, teaching experience, and education level. Based on the findings, it is recommended that to ensure a high level of teachers' professional commitment, public universities need to explore issues related to demographic factors; and improve work conditions to retain satisfied and committed teachers.

description: USI's Kinesiology and Sport department has requested the design and fabrieation of an
isometric testing station. The device is to be used to take stationary measurements during
various exercises that revolve around the elbow, shoulder, knee, and hip joints. As an example,
the device would measure the amount of torque an individual's bicep produced when fixed at
various angles of the elbow. The device contains 2 components critical to operation. The first is a
1000 lb. universal load cell which quantifies the output torque instantaneously. The load cell is
attached to an adjustable structure that adapts to the various specified exercises. The other major
component is a mechanical ratchet clutch which adjusts with the joint angle in 15 degree
increments and resists the applied torque. We designed the station to adapt to various heights and
limb lengths in order to be operated by a range of individuals. Throughout the process we
analyzed the material, adjustment mechanisms, and structure based on simulations, safety factor,
and cost. The station is to be primarily used as a teaching aid and research tool for the
university's biomechanics laboratory, but has additional uses in physical therapy and
rehabilitation settings.

Anhand von Materialien aus der Planung, der Umsetzung und der Reflexion eines fachdidaktischen Modulinhaltes wird mir bewusst, wie die Dekonstruktion die verschiedenen Phasen meiner unterrichtlichen Tätigkeit durchdringt. Die Dekonstruktion als Verfahrensweise beinhaltet das kritische Betrachten von Vorhandenem. Dabei können zum Beispiel Gewohnheiten ins Blickfeld gerückt und befragt werden, was wiederum andere Perspektiven eröffnen kann. In dieser Untersuchung führe ich aus, wie Dekonstruktion in der Kunstpädagogik unhinterfragt übernommene Konzepte aufzuweichen und wandelbar zu machen vermag, aber auch Herausforderungen mit sich bringen kann.

Year: 2023

description: This study tried to assess the leadership training and development practices in Ethiopian Federal Police Commission. To achieve the intended objectives of the study, explanatory concurrent research design with mixed research approach were employed. The primary data were gathered through questionnaire, interview, and document analysis. The quantitative data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation and frequency distribution) and inferential statistics (correlation), while the qualitative data were analyzed by using thematic content analysis technique. The study revealed that at the institution in question, training and development activities are carried out for leadership development purposes. The types of training mostly rendered for police leaders was short-leadership courses, as well extended leadership opportunities were sometimes offered to senior leaders. The status of current practices on leadership training and development were inadequate. As compared to the sample mean for training and development strategies, the study indicated that experiences and learning strategies had the highest mean value. The strategies for leadership training and development are not integrated and well-performed. Those practices of leadership were restrained by various factors like personal and organizational. The study also pointed out that the Police Commission provided inconsistent leadership training and development philosophy that did not properly support and promote leadership development. This led to poor performance on the leaders in training and the organization as well. Therefore, the Federal Police Commission should improve and develop leaders through an integrated leadership training scheme and development strategies.

Subjects: Environmental assessment and monitoring
Modelling and simulation

description: Passivhaus (PH) design is rapidly spreading worldwide as its beneficial outcomes have been predicted by numerous simulation studies. However, actual building performances often deviate from the simulated results. This disparity between estimated and actual performance is defined as the ‘performance gap’. This work combines modelling efforts with a two-year monitoring campaign, and uses Australia’s first certified large PH building as the demonstration case to advance the robustness of PH simulation. The outcomes of this research could guide the improvement of future PH simulation models and assist designers in building renovation.

Year: 2023

description: This study aims at investigating the effect of the major leadership competency units on organizational effectiveness in the Ethiopian Federal Public Service. The study participated 1,272 public servants from a sample of nineteen entities chosen on simple random basis of the lottery method. A five-point Likert type scale survey with all the items having a well over .75 Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, FGD’s and document analyses were employed. Quantitative-qualitative mixed; cross-sectional survey study design was used. The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics techniques of multiple linear regression method. The qualitative data was analyzed thematically. The result of the study showed that the overall leadership competency units have significant effect on organizational effectiveness. It was found that the value of the determination coefficient (R2) 0.52 indicating that the Ethiopian Public Sector effectiveness can be explained by intrapersonal, interpersonal, technical, direction setting, and career competencies to this level. Other factors not studied in this research contributed 48 % for the public service organizational effectiveness. While the descriptive analyses depicted that there is a slightly higher than average rating between 3.18 and 3.62 mean scores in all the six independent and the dependent variable; the qualitative data results aligned more to the regression analyses implying that the competency units identified positively explain the organizational effectiveness. Finally, further research should be conducted to investigate the other factors (48%) that influence leadership competences for the Ethiopian public sector.

A COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF TELBS ROBUST REGRESSION
Creators: name: Sarah, Elizabeth Thompson
name: David, Allen Mitchell
Publisher: name: Continental Journal
Year: 2024
Subjects: Linear regression, outliers, influential points, leverage points, robust regression

description: Linear regression is a widely used statistical model for assessing the impact of explanatory variables on a response variable, with applications spanning across fields such as social sciences, environmental studies, and biomedical research. Conventionally, ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation has been the go-to method for regression analysis. However, the presence of outliers can significantly skew OLS parameter estimates.

This paper delves into the intricacies of outliers, influential points, and leverage points in regression analysis, shedding light on their potential impact on parameter estimation. Outliers, whether in Y-space, X-space, or both, can distort the robustness of OLS estimations. Leverage points, often overlooked in standard residual plots, may exert substantial influence on regression coefficients.

To address these challenges, a range of robust regression methods has been developed, including M estimation, MM estimation, LTS, S estimation, and the recently developed TELBS robust estimation. Section 2 provides an overview of these techniques. Robust regression approaches offer the means to estimate model parameters that either mitigate or exclude the influence of outliers, safeguarding against significant parameter distortions that OLS may encounter.

Robust estimators are assessed in terms of breakdown point and asymptotic efficiency, crucial for evaluating the trade-off between robustness and data variability. While the application of robust regression has garnered traction in diverse fields, including sociology, political science, chemistry, and biology, its full adoption across all disciplines is an ongoing process.

description: In the early phase of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, multiple healthcare systems in the United States were overwhelmed by critically ill patients. Hospitals at the epicenter of the outbreaks encountered shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE), especially N95 respirators. In March 2020, as COVID-19 cases began to increase in our region, our organization anticipated PPE shortages due to increased demand on the national supply chain. We solicited donations from the community and were subsequently inundated with respirators in varying styles, sizes, conditions, and quantities. A transdisciplinary team from infection prevention, operational efficiency, environmental health and safety, supply chain, and medicine was formed to evaluate and operationalize donations to provide HCP with safe and effective N95 respirators.

Comparative Analysis of Management Competencies’ Effect on Civil Service Performance in Addis Ababa and Adama City Administrations, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Moti, Daba
Publisher: name: African Journal of Leadership and Development
Year: 2023

description: In civil service institutions, civil service performance is a topic of wide interest. Managers who possess high levels of management competencies are more productive in providing civil services to the citizens. However, civil services are characterized poorly because of mal-practicing of management competencies. The main objective of this study was to analyze and compare management competencies’ effect on civil service performance. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative approaches using data collection tools that include structured and un-structured questionnaire, focused group discussions and key informant interviews. The SPSS statistic was used for the descriptive and inferential analysis. The findings indicate that the determinant factors contribute to the average level of civil service performance of the two study areas. However, the results describe small differences in the overall performance of the two study areas. The performance in the responses and mean values of the Addis Ababa City Administration is relatively better than that of Adama City Administration of Oromia. Although the implementation process has brought acceptable results, it is not free from some challenges. Lack of development of long-term strategies; lack of encouraging and recognizing creative ideas of employees; lack of stakeholders and partners involvement in the decision-making process; lack of continuous learning and self-development; lack of maximizing resource value efficiency against strategic priorities and lack of using modern technology are the major limitations pinpointed. The institutions should strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of contributing factors of competency development to improve institutional competitiveness and its performance in today’s work environment.

description: The primary objective of this research is to assess the Core Competency Skills of employees within the public sectors of Ethiopia. The study employed a comprehensive approach, utilizing a descriptive survey and explanatory research design to gather and analyze data. Both primary and secondary data collection methods were employed, with primary data obtained through questionnaires and focus group discussions. A robust response rate of 98% was achieved from a sample size of 1600 randomly selected employees. The statistical analysis, conducted using SPSS version 25, unveiled those employees demonstrated moderate proficiency in essential areas such as customer service, communication, and teamwork. However, significant gaps were identified in fundamental competencies, particularly in decision-making and technology utilization. These findings underscore the pressing need for targeted training initiatives to enhance core competency skills and address skill deficiencies prevalent within the Ethiopian Public service sectors. To bolster competency levels and bridge skill gaps, it is recommended that organizations prioritize employee engagement, motivation, and the implementation of tailored training programs. Standardized assessments and clearly defined competency development goals should be established to promote staff proficiency and foster continuous competence enhancement within public sector entities. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the critical importance of investing in employee training and development to bolster core competency skills among public sector workers in Ethiopia. By implementing strategic interventions aimed at enhancing employee competencies, organizations can cultivate a more skilled and proficient workforce, ultimately driving improved performance and service delivery.
