description: Analytical models to describe the mechanical behaviour of an adaptive sun protection facade system (Adaptex) are presented. First, a one-dimensional (1D) rigid link model is developed. Stretching and bending deformation of textile bands are represented with the aid of extensional and rotational springs respectively. The model is described by two generalized coordinates only. The second analytical model employs a continuous description based on the Kirchhoff plate theory. The Rayleigh–Ritz method is applied to analyse the deformation behaviour of the textile bands. In comparison with the experimental results, it can be found that the continuous model simulates the real deformation of the facade system, thus its morphological behaviour, very effectively. The results of a parametric study indicate that the stiffness of the textile bands, the geometric dimensions and the position of load application have significant effects on the deformation behaviour.

description: The simplest version of the dynamical holographic QCD model is described by adding the KKSS model action on a dilaton-graviton coupled background, in which the AdS$_5$ metric is deformed by the gluon condensation and further deformed by the chiral condensation. In this framework, both the chiral symmetry breaking and linear confinement can be realized, the light-flavor hadron spectra and the pion form factor were investigated but it was difficult to reconcile the light-flavor hadron spectra and pion form factor. By considering the anomalous 5-dimension mass correction of the scalar field from QCD running coupling, it is found that the light flavor hadron spectra and pion form factor can be described well simultaneously, especially the ground state and lower excitation states of scalar, pseudo scalar and axial vector meson spectra are improved, but the vector meson spectra is not sensitive to the anomalous 5-dimension mass correction of the scalar field.

description: We analyze hourly seismic data measured at the Osservatorio Vesuviano Ovest (OVO, 1972-2014) and at the Bunker Est (BKE, 1999-2014) stations on the Mt. Vesuvius. The OVO record is complete for seismic events with magnitude M > 1.9. We demonstrate that before 1996 this record presents a daily oscillation that nearly vanishes afterwards. To determine whether a daily oscillation exists in the seismic activity of the Mt. Vesuvius, we use the higher quality BKE record that is complete for seismic events with magnitude M > 0.2. We demonstrate that BKE confirms that the seismic activity at the Mt. Vesuvius is higher during nighttime than during day-time. The amplitude of the daily oscillation is enhanced during summer and damped during winter. We speculate possible links with the cooling/warming diurnal cycle of the volcanic edifice, with external geomagnetic field and with magnetostriction that should also stress the rocks. We find that the amplitude of the seismic daily cycle changes in time and has been increasing since 2008. Finally, we propose a seismic activity index to monitor the 24-hour oscillation that could be used to complement other methodologies currently adopted to determine the seismic status of the volcano and to prevent the relative hazard.

description: Crack growth behaviour along the coherent twin boundary (CTB), i.e., $Σ$3{112} of BCC Fe is investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The growth of an atomistically sharp crack with {112}$$ orientation has been examined along the two opposite $$ directions of CTB under mode-I loading at a constant strain rate. Separate MD simulations were carried out with crack inserted in the left side, right side and middle of the specimen model system. The results indicate that the crack grows differently along the two opposite $$ directions. In case of a crack inserted in the left side, the crack grows in ductile manner, while it propagates in semi-brittle manner in the case of crack inserted in the right side. The directional dependence of crack growth along the CTB is also confirmed by the stress-strain behaviour. This anisotropy in crack growth behaviour has been attributed to the twinning-antitwinning asymmetry of 1/6$$ partial dislocations on {112} planes.

description: Employing partially overlapping overhead \kinectTMS sensors and automatic pedestrian tracking algorithms we recorded the crowd traffic in a rectilinear section of the main walkway of Eindhoven train station on a 24/7 basis. Beside giving access to the train platforms (it passes underneath the railways), the walkway plays an important connection role in the city. Several crowding scenarios occur during the day, including high- and low-density dynamics in uni- and bi-directional regimes. In this paper we discuss our recording technique and we illustrate preliminary data analyses. Via fundamental diagrams-like representations we report pedestrian velocities and fluxes vs. pedestrian density. Considering the density range $0$ - $1.1\,$ped/m$^2$, we find that at densities lower than $0.8\,$ped/m$^2$ pedestrians in unidirectional flows walk faster than in bidirectional regimes. On the opposite, velocities and fluxes for even bidirectional flows are higher above $0.8\,$ped/m$^2$.

description: The purpose of this article was to provide descriptive account of language use in the linguistic landscape of Wolkite town of the Gurage Zone. The focus was to find out how signs on buildings and road sides in a multilingual setting are used to express identity (linguistic, religious and ethnic) and power relations, in addition to their market value, attracting clients, and to find out language use patterns. The research method followed was Qualitative; texts and pictures were collected analyzed thematically. The data were collected only in the main street with asphalted road that runs from Addis Ababa to Jima. The finding showed that Guragina, which is not used in any official settings in the zone, is highly used in signs and posters and trade marks in Wolkite. However, the Guragina language(s) used as signs was often mixed with Amharic. Though dialect variation within Gurage was reflected in a few cases, the Chaha language variety, often mixed with Amharic, was more frequently used. Semantically, the signs used showed, wishes, ambitions, successes, surprises, dilemmas and religious affiliations. It was found that signs in the town are mainly the mix of English, Amharic and Guragina. This code mixing is not random but systematically patterned. The first word is often Guragina and the second and so words are Amharic. English was more often provided as a gloss for Guragina and Amharic version of the signs.

description: Temporal reasoning is the task of predicting temporal relations of event pairs. While temporal reasoning models can perform reasonably well on in-domain benchmarks, we have little idea of these systems' generalizability due to existing datasets' limitations. In this work, we introduce a novel task named TODAY that bridges this gap with temporal differential analysis, which as the name suggests, evaluates whether systems can correctly understand the effect of incremental changes. Specifically, TODAY introduces slight contextual changes for given event pairs, and systems are asked to tell how this subtle contextual change would affect relevant temporal relation distributions. To facilitate learning, TODAY also annotates human explanations. We show that existing models, including GPT-3.5, drop to random guessing on TODAY, suggesting that they heavily rely on spurious information rather than proper reasoning for temporal predictions. On the other hand, we show that TODAY's supervision style and explanation annotations can be used in joint learning, encouraging models to use more appropriate signals during training and thus outperform across several benchmarks. TODAY can also be used to train models to solicit incidental supervision from noisy sources such as GPT-3.5, thus moving us more toward the goal of generic temporal reasoning systems.
A Feminist Reading of Contemporary Ethiopian Novel in English: Gebeyehu Ayele’s Escape (2011) in Focus

Year: 2023

description: The main aim of this research is to analyze representation of women in contemporary Ethiopian novels written in English focusing on Gebeyehu Ayele’s novel Escape (2011). The analysis was made based on socialist feminism approach to literature. The analysis of the study shows that the novel depicted women in two ways. In one way women characters such as Mulu’s mother are revealed as submitting themselves to patriarchal subjugation because of their economic dependency on their husbands and considering themselves as God created them to be weaker than men. In the second way, the major character of the novel named Mulu is portrayed as strong and devoted to change the patriarchal culture of the society that denies right and freedom for women because of the education access she has got unlike her mother. Mulu, both ideally and practically opposes the patriarchal custom of the society. Moreover, young male characters such as Dres and Dagne also support the freedom of women.

description: Motivated by the non-negligible dynamical backcoupling of the electroweak interactions with the strong interaction during neutron star mergers, we study the effects of the explicit breaking of C, P and flavor symmetry on the strong sector. The quark propagator is the simplest object which encodes the consequences of these breakings. To asses the impact, we study the influence of especially parity violation on the propagator for various masses. For this purpose the functional methods in form of Dyson-Schwinger-Equations are employed. We find that explicit isospin breaking leads to a qualitative change of behavior even for a slight explicit breaking, which is in contrast to the expectations from perturbation theory. Our results thus suggest that non-perturbative backcoupling effects could be larger than expected.

Motivation for Amharic-English Code-switching Practice: Evidence from Radio Talk Show
Creators: name: Mayew, Setegn
Publisher: name: Ethiopian Journal of Language, Culture and Communication
Year: 2023

description: This paper is aiming at looking into why Amharic-English bilingual speakers switch to English in Amharic speech. Data were collected from some selected radio talk shows in three radio stations: Fana, Voice of America and Deutsche Welle Radio (Amharic service). This paper presents detailed evidence to show why bilinguals switch back and forth between Amharic and English and what triggers them to switch to English in their Amharic utterance. The analyses of data offered a window through which we observed the underlying discursive functions of Amharic-English code-switching in radio talk show. These encompass a wide range of functions as a device for quoting, repeating, emphasizing and clarifying position. It also functions as an identity marker, a mechanism for filling a lexical or pragmatic gap. The results of the study reveal that Amharic-English code-switching can serve as a strategic tool to avoid communication breakdown. Moreover, the study provides many cases in which bilingual speakers consciously/unconsciously employed switching to English in their Amharic speeches. Hence, it was possible to conclude that code-switching behaviour cannot always be an icon of linguistic deficiency but rather a strategic tool for successful communication. In conclusion, code-switching can be motivated mainly by sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic or contextual factors.

PR-isation of the Media: An Examination of Development Journalism in Amhara Radio Obscured by Public Relations Tactics
Creators: name: Ayenew, Ahmed
name: Ali, Adem Chanie
Publisher: name: Ethiopian Journal of Language, Culture and Communication
Year: 2023

description: The research set out to examine the coverage and practice of rural development news in Amhara Radio evening 6:00 PM news. The study constituted both quantitative and qualitative data obtained using content analysis, in-depth interview and questionnaires. For the theoretical framework, agenda setting theory and the principles of development journalism were used. The findings revealed that the medium is not in a position to promote rural development which is/was the country’s top priority and considered being the central pillar of the economic policy. Rural development news items got relatively little coverage and frequency distribution during the selected period of study. The radio news is dominated by public relations reporting, success-oriented stories, in favour of events, and followed upward approaches. It is clearly observed that public relations has become the dominate news sources. Journalism is under the shade of public relations. Besides, the news contents were found against the principles of development news. The medium placed insignificant premium on rural issues as evident in the inadequate placement of stories first and paucity of in-depth and interpretative analysis of issues. The research recommends this “PR-isation” of mass media jeopardises the profession and hence should be stopped.

description: Rare $b$ hadron decays are considered excellent probes of new semileptonic four-fermion interactions of microscopic origin. However, the same interactions also correct the high-mass Drell-Yan tails. In this work, we revisit the first statement in the context of this complementarity and chart the space of short-distance new physics that could show up in rare $b$ decays. We analyze the latest $b \to q \ell^+ \ell^-$ measurements, where $q = d$ or $s$ and $\ell = e$ or $μ$, including the most recent LHCb $R_{K^{(*)}}$ update, together with the latest charged and neutral current high-mass Drell-Yan data, $p p \to \ell ν$ and $p p \to \ell^+ \ell^-$. We implement a sophisticated interpretation pipeline within the flavio framework, allowing us to investigate the multidimensional SMEFT parameter space thoroughly and efficiently. To showcase the new functionalities of flavio, we construct several explicit models featuring either a $Z'$ or a leptoquark, which can explain the tension in $b \to s μ^+ μ^-$ angular distributions and branching fractions while predicting lepton flavor universality (LFU) ratios to be SM-like, $R_{K^{(*)}} \approx R^{\rm SM}_{K^{(*)}}$, as indicated by the recent data. Those models are then confronted against the global likelihood, including the high-mass Drell-Yan, either finding tensions or compatibility.

Reaction Diffusion Systems and Extensions of Quantum Stochastic Processes
Creators: name: Greenman, Chris D
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Reaction diffusion systems describe the behaviour of dynamic, interacting, particulate systems. Quantum stochastic processes generalise Brownian motion and Poisson processes, having operator valued Itô calculus machinery. Here it is shown that the three standard noises of quantum stochastic processes can be extended to model reaction diffusion systems, the methods being exemplified with spatial birth-death processes. The usual approach for these systems are master equations, or Doi-Peliti path integration techniques. The machinery described here provide efficient analyses for many systems of interest, and offer an alternative set of tools to investigate such problems.

description: A distinctive institutional configuration of multi-level emergency governance emerged in response to the pandemic. Member State democracies provided many of the coercive powers needed to deal with the immediate exigencies of a health emergency. The European Union developed novel and important coordinating roles in dealing with collective action problems. This paper proposes a framework for evaluating that institutional configuration. It assumes that legitimacy is the absence of domination and that, in emergencies, the main risks of domination come from executives. Here democracies – and groups of democracies – need to walk a tightrope. Individuals or whole democracies can be dominated either by the absence of executive powers able to solve the collective action problems that constitute emergencies or by executives that act with insufficient parliamentary, judicial or electoral oversight; or offend rights; or create externalities that produce democracy-on-democracy forms domination. We discuss how those risks are likely to vary across the levels of European emergency governance.

description: In this work, we have studied the permanent electric dipole moments of singly charged aluminium monohalides in their electronic ground state, X$^2Σ$, using Kramers-restricted relativistic configuration interaction method. We report our results from this method in the singles and doubles approximation with those of Dirac-Fock calculations. For our finite field computations, quadruple zeta basis sets were employed. We discuss the electron correlation trends that we find in our calculated properties and have compared our results with those from literature, wherever available.

description: To make personalised medicines for cancer treatment we need to detect a specific antigen with antibodies. Studies are being carried out for these antigen-antibody interactions. This can be done with the help of nano biosensors. Nano biosensors are nano-scaled biosensors used to detect specific biomolecules in the sample. The sample can be present in a solution. This thesis is a radical vision of imitating the electrochemical synthesis of peptide [1] receptors by a programmable in-situ protein (target molecules) detection with nano-functionalised FinFET sensors by simulations. In order to do so, we have started first by simulation of an Ion-sensing field effect tran sistor(ISFET) where we detect the ions to determine the absolute pH of the solution. The ions/target molecules are protons in this case. The receptors are further modified to increase the surface complexity. This helps us understand better the solution/surface interactions which will help us in future to detect a specific protein. This thesis aims to achieve a technological breakthrough of the first fully programmable ion screening simulation tool. This simulation tool will come as a faster, cheaper, and more efficient technology. The simulation of this is performed by using MATLAB and Synopsys Sentaurus TCAD software. A study of different types of models for the bio-interface along with an analysis of output characteristics obtained from simulation is presented in this report.

description: \item[Background]Heavy-ion reactions from barrier up to Fermi energy. \item[Purpose]Reaction and fusion cross sections determination. Fusion reactions induced by $^{129}Xe$ projectiles on $^{nat}Sn$ targets for energies ranging from $8$ A.MeV to $35$ A.MeV were measured with the INDRA $4π$-array.\\ The evaluation of the fusion/incomplete fusion cross sections for the incident energies from 8 to 35 A.MeV is the main purpose of this paper. \item[Method] The reaction cross sections are evaluated for each beam energy thanks to INDRA $4π$-array. The events are also sorted in order to focus the study on a selected sample of events, in such a way that the fusion/fusion incomplete cross section is estimated. \item[Results] The excitation function of reaction and fusion cross sections were measured for the heavy and nearly symmetric system $^{129}Xe + ^{nat}Sn$ from 8 to 35 A.MeV. \item[Conclusions] The fusion-like cross-sections evaluated show a good agrement with a recent systematics for beam energies greater than 20 A.MeV. For low beam energies the cross-section values are lower than the expected ones. A probable reason for these low values is in the fusion hindrance at energies above/close the barrier.

description: We present a Wigner function-based approach for the particle density evolution in fermionic and bosonic open quantum many-body systems, including the effects of dephasing. In particular, we focus on chains of non-interacting particles coupled to Lindblad baths. The dissipative processes, described by linear and quadratic jump operators, are modulated by inhomogeneous couplings. Following a semi-classical approach, we find the differential equation governing the Wigner function evolution, which can be solved in closed form in some particular cases. We check the accuracy of the Wigner approach in different scenarios (i.e. Gaussian jump rates), describing the density evolution and the transport phenomena in terms of classical quasi-particles.

description: Der Klimawandel stellt eine der größten globalen Herausforderungen dar. Um den dras-tischen Auswirkungen entgegenzuwirken, sind Versicherungsunternehmen als bedeu-tendste institutionelle Investoren in Deutschland gefordert, durch die Umlenkung von Ka-pital in nachhaltige Investitionen einen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung zu leisten. Insbesondere private nachhaltige Altersvorsorgeprodukte besitzen dabei eine große He-belwirkung im Transformationsprozess. Aufgrund diverser Kaufbarrieren werden derar-tige Produkte jedoch aktuell noch nicht ausreichend konsumiert. Während sich das In-strument des Nudgings zur Förderung nachhaltigen Konsums in anderen Anwendungs-feldern bereits als erfolgreich bewiesen hat, existieren für den Vertrieb nachhaltiger Ver-sicherungsprodukte bislang keine Forschungen. Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich daher mit der Frage, ob sich die Kaufbereitschaft der Verbraucher für private nachhaltige Al-tersvorsorgeprodukte mithilfe des Nudgings erhöhen lässt. Die Ergebnisse des durchge-führten Laborexperiments zeigen, dass sowohl der Einsatz des Nudges Gütesiegel als auch des Nudges Soziale Norm zu einer Erhöhung der Kaufintention führt. Zur Förderung des Vertriebs nachhaltiger Altersvorsorgeprodukte wird daher auf Grundlage der Ergeb-nisse die Implementierung von Nudging in vorvertragliche Entscheidungssituationen empfohlen.

description: The MB-pol many-body potential has recently emerged as an accurate molecular model for water simulations from the gas to the condensed phase. In this study, the accuracy of MB-pol is systematically assessed across the three phases of water through extensive comparisons with experimental data and high-level ab initio calculations. Individual many-body contributions to the interaction energies as well as vibrational spectra of water clusters calculated with MB-pol are in excellent agreement with reference data obtained at the coupled cluster level. Several structural, thermodynamic, and dynamical properties of the liquid phase at atmospheric pressure are investigated through classical molecular dynamics simulations as a function of temperature. The structural properties of the liquid phase are in nearly quantitative agreement with X-ray diffraction data available over the temperature range from 268 to 368 K. The analysis of other thermodynamic and dynamical quantities emphasizes the importance of explicitly including nuclear quantum effects in the simulations, especially at low temperature, for a physically correct description of the properties of liquid water. Furthermore, both densities and lattice energies of several ice phases are also correctly reproduced by MB-pol. Following a recent study of DFT models for water, a score is assigned to each computed property, which demonstrates the high and, in many respects, unprecedented accuracy of MB-pol in representing all three phases of water.

description: Understanding the neutron background is essential for determining the neutron yield from nuclear reactions. In the analysis presented here, the shadow bars are placed in front of neutron detectors to determine the energy dependent neutron background fractions. The measurement of neutron spectra with and without shadow bars is important to determine the neutron background more accurately. The neutron background, along with its sources and systematic uncertainties, are explored with a focus on the impact of background models and their dependence on neutron energy.

description: We investigate the relationship between synoptic/local meteorological patterns and PM10 air pollution levels in the metropolitan area of Naples, Italy. We found that severe air pollution crises occurred when the 850 and 500 hpa geopotential heights and their relative temperatures present maximum values above the city. The most relevant synoptic parameter was the 850 hPa geopotential height, which is located about 1500 m of altitude. We compared local meteorological conditions (specifically wind stress, rain amount and thermal inversion) against the urban air pollution levels from 2009 to 2013. We found several empirical criteria for forecasting high daily PM10 air pollution levels in Naples. Pollution crises occurred when (a) the wind stress was between 1 and 2 m/s, (b) the thermal inversion between two strategic locations was at least 3°C/200m and (c) it did not significantly rain for at least 7 days. Beside these meteorological conditions, severe pollution crises occurred also during festivals when fireworks and bonfires are lighted, and during anomalous breeze conditions and severe fire accidents. Finally, we propose a basic model to predict PM10 concentration levels from local meteorological conditions that can be easily forecast a few days in advance. The synthetic PM10 record predicted by the model was found to correlate with the PM10 observations with a correlation coefficient close to 0.80 with a confidence greater than 99%. The proposed model is expected to provide reliable information to city officials to carry out practical strategies to mitigate air pollution effects. Although the proposed model equation is calibrated on the topographical and meteorological conditions of Naples, it should be easily adaptable to alternative locations.

description: Background Adolescent pregnancy is a global public health and social problem that afects both developed and developing countries. Reducing adolescent pregnancy is central to achieving sustainable development goals. In 2021 Nigeria’s Adolescent pregnancy was 106 per 1000 and showed an increasing rate. This study, therefore, aims to explore the literature to map the risk factors and interventions against adolescent pregnancy in Nigeria. Method A scoping review of studies published between January 2007 and December 2022 using PubMed, Web of Science and Africa Journals Online were searched using the keywords’ adolescent pregnancy’ AND ’Nigeria’. Studies were screened using the eligibility criteria. Results A total of 241 articles, of which 229 were identifed through the databases and 12 were identifed through hand search. After the full-text review, 28 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the fnal review. In Nigeria, the prevalence of adolescent pregnancy is between 7.5 and 49.5%. Associated factors for adolescent pregnancy in Nigeria are multifactorial, including individual, community, societal, school, family, and peer factors. Policies on adolescent sexual and reproductive health exist in Nigeria. Still, the policies need more sponsorship, implementation, and monitoring, while only some interventions on adolescent pregnancy majorly based on contraceptives and education of health providers are available in Nigeria. Conclusion Associated factors for adolescent Pregnancy in Nigeria are multidimensional, with educational attainment and wealth index being the highest associated factor. Intervention strategies aimed at the educational level have been identifed as a critical factor in curbing adolescent pregnancy. Thus, policies on sexual, reproductive, and mental health development specifcally targeting adolescents to reduce the cycle of societal dependence by empowering this group economically and educationally are justifably warranted

description: We construct a new family of $\text{AdS}_2\times S^3\times S^2$ solutions to Type IIB supergravity arising as near-horizon geometries of D1-F1-D3-D5-NS5-D7 brane intersections preserving 4 supersymmetries. We show that a subclass of these solutions asymptotes locally to the $\text{AdS}_6\times S^2\times Σ_2$ solution to Type IIB supergravity holographically dual to the five dimensional Sp(N) fixed point theory. This suggests that these solutions can be interpreted as D1-F1-D3 line defects within this CFT. Switching off the D7-branes, we act with $\text{SL}(2, \mathbb{R})$ to construct a second family of solutions that can be related to an $\text{AdS}_3\times S^3\times S^3$ class of M-theory backgrounds describing surface defects within the six dimensional (1,0) SCFT dual to $\text{AdS}_7/\mathbb{Z}_k\times S^4$. Finally, using non-Abelian T-duality we construct new classes of $\text{AdS}_2\times S^2\times S^2$ solutions to Type IIA supergravity with 4 supercharges and elaborate on their M-theory origin.

description: A high-precision hypernuclear experiment has been performed at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI) to determine the hypertriton Λ binding energy via decay-pion spectroscopy. A key element of this measurement is an accurate calibration of the magnetic spectrometers with the MAMI beam. For such an absolute calibration with small statistical and systematic uncertainties the undulator light interference method will be applied. In this contribution the basic principle of this method is discussed and the analysis status of the measured synchrotron radiation spectra is presented
