description: We investigate, using first-principles methods and effective-model simulations, the spin-orbit coupling proximity effects in a bilayer heterostructure comprising phosphorene and WSe$_2$ monolayers. We specifically analyze holes in phosphorene around the $Γ$ point, at which we find a significant increase of the spin-orbit coupling that can be attributed to the strong hybridization of phosphorene with the WSe$_2$ bands. We also propose an effective spin-orbit model based on the ${\bf C}_{1{\rm v}}$ symmetry of the studied heterostructure. The corresponding spin-orbit field can be divided into two parts: the in-plane field, present due to the broken nonsymmorphic horizontal glide mirror plane symmetry, and the dominant out-of-plane field triggered by breaking the out-of-plane rotational symmetry of the phosphorene monolayer. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that a heterostructure with 60$^\circ$ twist angle exhibits an opposite out-of-plane spin-orbit field, indicating that the coupling can effectively be tuned by twisting. The studied phosphorene/WSe$_2$ bilayer is a prototypical low common-symmetry heterostructure in which the proximity effect can be used to engineer the spin texture of the desired material.

The Effects Of Leadership Styles On Organizational Commitment: The Case Of Betzata General Hospital And Girum General Hospital
Creators: name: Admassie, Sharachew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of leadership styles on organizational commitment of Betzata General Hospital and Girum General Hospital employees. To this end, the effect of transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership styles on organizational commitment dimensions (affective, normative and continuous) has been investigated. Descriptive and correlational research design was used. A total sample of 90 employees of Betzata General Hospital and100employees of Girum General Hospitals were selected using random sampling technique. Collected data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science. Results of this study suggest that leadership style of managers has a significant effect on organizational commitment. Transformational and transactional leadership styles have positive effect on organizational commitment. However, the effect of laissez-faire leadership on organizational commitment is found out to be negative for Betzatha General Hospital but it has no effect for Girum General Hospital. On this basis, suggestions are offered to managers to increase organizational commitment of their subordinate employees by developing their leadership style. Keywords: Organizational commitment, Transformational leadership, Transactional leadership, laissez-faire leadership

description: In 2010, the WHO announced that a sedentary lifestyle, through its impact on health and association with non-communicable chronic diseases, is the fourth global risk factor of mortality. As a result of this alert, France established its first national plan for encouraging physical activity (PA) in 2012. People in precarious social positions are known for being physically inactive and also having unhealthy eating habits, which further increases the risk of chronic diseases. Rooted in this context, this interventional research in health promotion is based on a program of interventions, also known as a “complex system of actions” coordinated by the IREPS Bretagne. The program targets two territories (urban and rural) in the French department of Ille-et-Vilaine and aims to promote the practice of PA among people in precarious situations who also have a sedentary lifestyle. The researchers were highly involved in the fieldwork. They welcomed the progress of the program with enthusiasm, while emphasizing the points of vigilance. This article is the meeting point of two mutually-enriching reflections: the eventual contribution of the sociologists to a normalization of behaviour like moral entrepreneurs, and the way in which this particular emotion, discomfort, participated in the data-production process during the fieldwork.

description: Background: Distributed training is essential for large scale training of deep neural networks (DNNs). The dominant methods for large scale DNN training are synchronous (e.g. All-Reduce), but these require waiting for all workers in each step. Thus, these methods are limited by the delays caused by straggling workers. Results: We study a typical scenario in which workers are straggling due to variability in compute time. We find an analytical relation between compute time properties and scalability limitations, caused by such straggling workers. With these findings, we propose a simple yet effective decentralized method to reduce the variation among workers and thus improve the robustness of synchronous training. This method can be integrated with the widely used All-Reduce. Our findings are validated on large-scale training tasks using 200 Gaudi Accelerators.

description: We present a suite of 15 cosmological zoom-in simulations of isolated dark matter halos, all with masses of $M_{\rm halo} \approx 10^{10}\,{\rm M}_\odot$ at $z=0$, in order to understand the relationship between halo assembly, galaxy formation, and feedback's effects on the central density structure in dwarf galaxies. These simulations are part of the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) project and are performed at extremely high resolution. The resultant galaxies have stellar masses that are consistent with rough abundance matching estimates, coinciding with the faintest galaxies that can be seen beyond the virial radius of the Milky Way ($M_\star/{\rm M}_\odot\approx 10^5-10^7$). This non-negligible spread in stellar mass at $z=0$ in halos within a narrow range of virial masses is strongly correlated with central halo density or maximum circular velocity $V_{\rm max}$. Much of this dependence of $M_\star$ on a second parameter (beyond $M_{\rm halo}$) is a direct consequence of the $M_{\rm halo}\sim10^{10}\,{\rm M}_\odot$ mass scale coinciding with the threshold for strong reionization suppression: the densest, earliest-forming halos remain above the UV-suppression scale throughout their histories while late-forming systems fall below the UV-suppression scale over longer periods and form fewer stars as a result. In fact, the latest-forming, lowest-concentration halo in our suite fails to form any stars. Halos that form galaxies with $M_\star\gtrsim2\times10^{6}\,{\rm M}_\odot$ have reduced central densities relative to dark-matter-only simulations, and the radial extent of the density modifications is well-approximated by the galaxy half-mass radius $r_{1/2}$. This apparent stellar mass threshold of $M_\star \approx 2\times 10^{6} \approx 2\times 10^{-4} \,M_{\rm halo}$ is broadly consistent with previous work and provides a testable prediction of FIRE feedback models in LCDM.

description: La supervivencia de la mayoría de las organizaciones depende de las decisiones inteligentes que se tomen alrededor de ella, principalmente las que están asociadas con la cadena de suministro. Para las empresas es cada vez más importante tener la capacidad de predecir el futuro con retroalimentación de la información, de una forma rápida, certera y donde se necesite a fin de poder prever, siempre que sea posible, cambios en el mercado que puedan afectar el buen desempeño de la organización. Para garantizar el éxito de las organizaciones existen numerosas filosofías que permiten a las empresas de hoy día efectuar las operaciones de producción de manera rápida, flexible y con un alto grado de productividad, dependiendo del entorno y las condiciones propias de cada una de ellas. La Planeación de requerimientos de materiales es una de estas filosofías, la cual, constituye una herramienta básica para efectuar la función de planificación detallada de materiales en la fabricación de piezas componentes y en su ensamble como productos terminados. El objetivo administrativo del MRP es proporcionar la pieza correcta en el momento correcto, para lo cual, proporciona planes formales de materia prima, componentes o productos finales sin inventario excesivo, tiempo extra, mano de obra adicional u otros recursos. Gracias a las modernas herramientas tecnológicas que los ingenieros de manufactura han diseñado para facilitar la planeación y el control de la producción, entre las que se destaca el software MAX ERP, es posible obtener mayores y mejores resultados en la implantación de la filosofía MRP en las organizaciones, por ello es importante que los profesionales que actualmente se están formando en las universidades tengan conocimiento sobre estas herramientas tecnológicas, que minimizan sustancialmente el tiempo que se necesita para realizar los cálculos, ofrece la oportunidad a los usuarios de ser más experimentales y de simular diversas situaciones sin comprometer en la realidad los recursos de la empresa, proporcionando resultados en tiempo real, lo que redunda en una mayor capacidad de respuesta y en una mejor atención al cliente.

description: We investigate the relationships between several classical notions in arithmetic combinatorics and geometry including: the presence (or lack of) arithmetic progressions (or patches in dimensions $\geq 2$); the structure of tangent sets; and the Assouad dimension. We begin by extending a recent result of Dyatlov and Zahl by showing that a set cannot contain arbitrarily large arithmetic progressions (patches) if it has Assouad dimension strictly smaller than the ambient spatial dimension. Seeking a partial converse, we go on to prove that having Assouad dimension equal to the ambient spatial dimension is equivalent to having weak tangents with non-empty interior and to `asymptotically' containing arbitrarily large arithmetic patches. We present some applications of our results concerning sets of integers, which include a weak solution to the Erdös-Turán conjecture on arithmetic progressions.

The Effect of Organizational Culture on Employee Commitment; The Case of Ethiopian Airlines Company
Creators: name: Bizuneh, Mersen
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of four organizational culture traits namely, involvement, consistency, adaptability and mission on employee commitment in Ethiopian Airlines Company. Based on the work of Denison on organization culture traits and Mowday on employee commitment, a structured questionnaire was developed and self-administered to employees in Ethiopian Airlines Company. A total of 284 employees participated in the study and the data's were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that the four traits measuring organizational culture were all positively related with employee's commitment within the range of r=0.530 to r=0.641. Moreover, adaptability is the most contributing organizational culture traits in the prediction of employee commitment with beta value .386. The other three organizational culture traits, in their descending order of standardized coefficients are mission, involvement and consistency. Furthermore, statistically significant of the three organizational culture traits: adaptability, mission, and involvement, indicate that there is significant relationship with employees' commitment. However, consistency doesn't have significant effect on employee commitment as it is explained by significance level p>0.05. The implications of the findings were discussed and recommendations made.

description: The phantom helix states are a special set of degenerate eigenstates of the XXZ Heisenberg model, which lie in the energy levels around zero energy and are bidirectionally equal. In this work, we study the helix state in the XXZ Heisenberg model with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). We show exactly that only the helix states in one direction remain unchanged in the presence of resonant DMI. Based on the Holstein--Primakoff (HP) transformation, the quantum spin model is mapped to a boson model, which allows us to understand the underlying mechanism. Furthermore, it also indicates that such phantom states can be separated from the spectrum by the strong DMI to enhance the robustness of the states. We demonstrate the dynamic formation processes of unidirectional phantom helix states by numerical simulations. The results indicate that the DMI as expected acts as a filter with high efficiency.

93rd Annual Exhibition March 29th thru April 15th, 1982, National Association of Women Artists
Creators: name: No Name Supplied

description: The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) was established in 1889 and is the oldest professional women's fine arts organization in the United States. NAWA's mission is to promote awareness of, and interest in, visual art created by women in the United States. As part of this effort NAWA holds an annual exhibition of works by members of the association and publishes an exhibition catalog to accompany or commemorate the annual exhibitions. These catalogs not only function as an exhibition catalog, but also as a document that summarizes the structure, membership, and activities of the association.Information that can be found in these catalogs includes lists of officers, members of the executive board and committees, prize winners, lists of exhibitor and members, and images of some of the artwork exhibited. Catalogs from the 2000s also include information on NAWA events and activities beyond the annual exhibition.Please note that the numbering of the annual catalogs was adjusted in 1960 and again in 1971. For example, NAWA designated the annual exhibition in 1960 as the 70th Anniversary Exhibition after 1959 was the 67th Annual Exhibition. These adjustments appear to have been made to reflect the date of the founding of the association, so that, by 1989, the annual exhibition commemorated the 100-year anniversary of the founding of NAWA in 1889.

description: A notorious problem in mathematics and physics is to create a solvable model for random sequential adsorption of non-overlapping congruent spheres in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space with $d\geq 2$. Spheres arrive sequentially at uniformly chosen locations in space and are accepted only when there is no overlap with previously deposited spheres. Due to spatial correlations, characterizing the fraction of accepted spheres remains largely intractable. We study this fraction by taking a novel approach that compares random sequential adsorption in Euclidean space to the nearest-neighbor blocking on a sequence of clustered random graphs. This random network model can be thought of as a corrected mean-field model for the interaction graph between the attempted spheres. Using functional limit theorems, we characterize the fraction of accepted spheres and its fluctuations.

description: Remote sensing provides an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate land surface models (LSMs) run at distributed scales. Yet, with so many remote sensing products available, it is unclear which product is the best, and how they should be validated due to the scaling issues between in situ measurements and remote sensing product grids. Therefore, a three-fold approach has been demonstrated at the Yanco core validation site in Australia (Yanco), whereby i) the representativeness of in situ soil moisture and evapotranspiration (ET) measurements within remote sensing product grids were investigated; ii) these representative measurements were used to validate remote sensing soil moisture and ET products, and iii) the validated products were used to evaluate distributed simulations of soil moisture and ET from the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES). In this research, the soil moisture stations within Yanco which provided representative measurements were identified based on geostatistical and temporal stability analysis of long-term soil moisture measurements and intensive measurements from three extensive field campaigns. Measurements from these stations were then used to validate soil moisture products from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - 2 (AMSR-2) and Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS). Of these two sensors, soil moisture products from SMOS were found to perform best. In the case of ET, measurements from the same footprint derived using optical (LAS) and microwave (MWS) scintillometers, and an eddy covariance (EC) system were firstly inter-compared to understand their performances relative to each other. Subsequently, scintillometers were placed across different areas of a single 4 km Multi-functional Transport SATellites (MTSAT) ET grid established the representativeness of measurements from an EC system of the grid. EC measurements were consequently used to validate the performance of MTSAT 4 km ET products based on the Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS), Modified Priestley Taylor (PT-JPL) and Modified Penman Monteith (PM-Mu) models, whereby the PT-JPL model was found to perform the best. The importance of having a good understanding of satellite data was demonstrated by using both the best and poor products in a model intercomparison study showing that wrong conclusions can easily be reached. These results confirmed the utility of the rigorous and systematic methodology developed in this research.

description: We consider the optimal design problem for a comparison of two regression curves, which is used to establish the similarity between the dose response relationships of two groups. An optimal pair of designs minimizes the width of the confidence band for the difference between the two regression functions. Optimal design theory (equivalence the- orems, efficiency bounds) is developed for this non standard design problem and for some commonly used dose response models optimal designs are found explicitly. The results are illustrated in several ex- amples modeling dose response relationships. It is demonstrated that the optimal pair of designs for the comparison of the regression curves is not the pair of the optimal designs for the individual models. In particular it is shown that the use of the optimal designs proposed in this paper instead of commonly used "non-optimal" designs yields a reduction of the width of the confidence band by more than 50%.

Year: 2017

description: Compensation and reward management is one of the ways used by organizations for attracting and retaining suitable employees to improve their performance. The main objective of this study was to determine the role of effective compensation and reward system on employee performance in Commercial bank of Ethiopia. The population of this study was 12,622 employees of the organization who works in Addis Ababa.. In this study, both primary and secondary sources of data were used. The primary data were gathered through questionnaires from 388 sample respondents from Commercial Bank of Ethiopia using simple random sampling. A total of 388 sample sizes were selected from employees of the commercial bank of Ethiopia and a total of 381 employees completed the questionnaire properly. This study used journals, books, internet sources, and other references were used as secondary sources of data. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency tables and inferential statistics such as correlations and regression analysis using SPSS version 20. The findings of this study indicated that there was a significant relationship between compensation and reward system with employee performance. The study also indicated both financial and non-financial compensation and rewards have a significant relationship with employee performance. The non-financial compensation and rewards were found to be a more motivational than the financial rewards in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. It was also found out that total rewards of CBE had an impact on employee performance. Therefore, creating competitive and effective compensation and rewards should be developed to motivate employees' performance.

description: Considerable attention has been devoted to the wormhole physics in the past 30 years by exploring the possibilities of finding traversable wormholes without the need of exotic matter. In particular the thin-shell wormhole formalism has been widely investigated by exploiting the cut-and-paste technique to merge two space-time regions and, to research the stability of these wormholes developed by Visser. This method helps us to minimize the amount of the exotic matter. In this paper we construct a four dimensional, spherically symmetric, dyonic thin-shell wormhole with electric charge $Q$, magnetic charge $P$, and dilaton charge $Σ$, in the context of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. We have applied Darmois-Israel formalism and the cut-and-paste method by joining together two identical spacetime solutions. We carry out the dyonic thin-shell wormhole stability analyses by using a linear barotropic gas, Chaplygin gas, and logarithmic gas for the exotic matter. It is shown that by choosing suitable parameter values as well as equation of state parameter, under specific conditions we obtain a stable dyonic thin-shell wormhole solution. Finally we argue that, the stability domain of the dyonic thin-shell wormhole can be increased in terms of electric charge, magnetic charge, and dilaton charge.

The Rise of Transparent Manipulators and Countless Trumps in the Age of Deep Manipulation: What Have They Done to Manipulation?
Creators: name: Kotnik, Vlado

Year: 2021

description: Traditionally, manipulation has been considered as an act that necessarily takes place somewhere in the background, in secret, “backstage”, in the dark, so to speak, in the “unconscious” part of our social actions. Such an understanding of manipulation thus suggests, psychoanalytically, that manipulation is fundamentally constituted by a logic of the unconscious, which must be suppressed, concealed, and camouflaged, something that resists being easily uncovered. However, in the post-communication era manipulation has taken a step further. Encouraged by big data technologies, pseudo-communication strategies, digital factories of fake news and lies, pseudo-journalism, industries of viral mystification, fabricating and disinforming media, and by related complex systems of deceiving, disguising, blurring, simulating, falsifying, distorting, diverting, mispackaging, deforming, misrepresenting and misusing the reality that have colonised all spheres of social life, from politics, business, media, mass communications industry, public sphere to interpersonal communication, manipulation has recently taken on a new form: that of deep manipulation. This term aims at the increasing, intense and omnipresent naturalisation of manipulation, which has brutally invaded the territories of communication between people at both individual and collective levels, moulding it into its tool. In such a world of perverted communication, the goal of using communication is not “plain communication” but the constant production of manipulation by performing it as our “new communication”. But this is not the end of the story of deep manipulation operating both in depth and at the capillary level, both individually and globally. Against this complex background, another, transparent version of manipulation has evolved, whose key ideological effect is undermining the ability to see manipulation as manipulation, that is, as an excess of communication. Transparent manipulation is dangerously imposed as our new “natural communicational condition”, or even, invigorated by its unscrupulous visibility, as our “new communicational conscious”. [...]

Sustainable transformation of palm oil mill waste into organic fertilizer through vermicomposting.
Creators: name: Lim, Su Lin

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Crude palm oil production is one of the major industries in Malaysia and this country is one of the major exporters of palm oil globally. The increasing global demand for edible oils has resulted in the increase of oil palm cultivation. The rapid expansion of the oil palm industry inevitably contributes to the growth and development of the national agriculture industry but there are concerns over the large amount of waste that are being generated. Among the by-products generated from crude palm oil processing that are of interest in this study are palm oil mill effluent (POME) and decanter cake (DC). The most typical method for managing POME is the ponding system while DC is usually left for natural degradation in most mills. Ponding system is the most common treatment method for POME in Malaysia whereby it is used in more than 91% of the mills. This method is economically viable but it produces large amount of sludge, releases CH4 and CO2 into the atmosphere and requires large areas of land. As DC is left for natural degradation, its accumulation over time could pose some environmental issues. The application of non-stabilized waste could lead to immobilization of plant nutrients and cause phytotoxicity. Thus, vermicomposting process was presented as an alternative treatment technology to manage POME and DC. The ability of vermicomposting process to utilize organic waste and bio-convert them into higher value added products makes it an attractive treatment option. Vermicomposting is the natural conversion of organic waste into organic fertilizer, i.e. vermicompost with the help of earthworms. The vermicomposting process is known to have a much higher rate of organic waste decomposition than composting and its product is rich in nutrients with finer texture. Vermicompost can be used for agricultural application. Thus, the vermicompost produced needs to be evaluated for its maturity to ensure that it is safe for a particular end use. Vermicompost maturity can be determined using chemical, biological and instrumental analysis. Generally, it is recommended to use several different maturity tests to ascertain the feasibility of the vermicompost produced. The land application after vermicomposting is regarded as the most beneficial waste disposal option in terms of the agronomic potential and environmental benefits of vermicompost. Therefore, in this study the feasibility of managing POME and DC through vermicomposting process was investigated.
The Impact of the Politicization of Health on Online Misinformation and Quality Information on Vaccines

description: In July 2017, a law aimed at reversing the decline in vaccination cover (Law 119/2017) made child vaccination mandatory in Italy. The law sparked a heated debate which was a breeding ground for disinformation and misinformation but also set the stage for some initiatives that have tried to combat the problem. This paper analyzes the Twitter vaccine-related information environment by focusing on the information sources shared by about 500,000 tweets published within three years – 18 months before and after the promulgation of the Law 119/2017 on mandatory vaccinations – highlighting clusters of sources shared by the users and changes in problematic and quality information throughout that period. Results show that the politicization of the topic was associated with the growing spread of problematic information. They expose the vaccine-related information environment as characterized by an homophilic and polarized structure grouping together and opposing, on the one hand, anti-vaccination, blacklisted sources, alternative therapy and conspiracy websites, and on the other, scientific and health sources, revealing that despite the new initiatives aimed at increasing quality information and fighting problematic information online, there was a lack of scientific information both during and after the debate on the vaccinations law, while problematic information appears to have increased in volume over the years.

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of reward management practice on employee retention in MIDROC Construction Ethiopia Plc. The study focused on three rewards management components that influence retention include; direct financial compensation, career development and work-life balance. The study used quantitative approach and its type was descriptive and explanatory research design. Data was collected through the use of questionnaires. The study used simple random technique and, 297 respondents were selected from1159 employees of MCE working around Addis Ababa. Out of which 260 respondents had properly completed and retuned the questionnaires. Then, the data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), version 20. The study revealed that retention had statistically significant positive and strong correlation with CD, r = 0.512, p < 0.01. This implies that better opportunities for career development have effect on employee retention. There was a moderate significant positive correlation between retention and WLF, r = 0.455, p < 0.01. Similarly, the correlation between retention and DF was moderate and positive, r = 0.417, p < 0.01.Multiple linear regression analysis was computed to assesses the influence of the independent variables on dependent variable. The result indicated that 32.7% of variation in employees' retention was explained by DF, CD and WLF. Among these independent variables CD has a greater rate of change. The study revealed that most of the respondents were not satisfied with direct financial compensation system of the company. The career development opportunities that exist in the company are not also encouraging. Majority of the respondents are happy with the work life balance practices in the company. It is important for the management to develop reward systems that is based on expectation of employees, comparable with market packages, fair, equitable and consistent, in the form of both financial and non-financial rewards that can persuade employees to remain in the organization
