description: Galaxy rotation curve (RC) fitting is an important technique which allows the placement of constraints on different kinds of dark matter (DM) halo models. In the case of non-phenomenological DM profiles with no analytic expressions, the art of finding RC best-fits including the full baryonic $+$ DM free parameters can be difficult and time-consuming. In the present work, we use a gradient descent method used in the backpropagation process of training a neural network, to fit the so-called Grand Rotation Curve of the Milky Way (MW) ranging from $\sim$1 pc all the way to $\sim$$10^5$ pc. We model the mass distribution of our Galaxy including a bulge (inner $+$ main), a disk, and a fermionic dark matter (DM) halo known as the Ruffini-Argüelles-Rueda (RAR) model. This is a semi-analytical model built from first-principle physics such as (quantum) statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, whose more general density profile has a dense core -- diluted halo morphology with no analytic expression. As shown recently and further verified here, the dark and compact fermion-core can work as an alternative to the central black hole in SgrA* when including data at milliparsec scales from the S-cluster stars. Thus, we show the ability of this state-of-the-art machine learning tool in providing the best-fit parameters to the overall MW RC in the $10^{-2}$--$10^5$ pc range, in a few hours of CPU time.

description: Electron transport in small graphene nanoribbons is studied by microwave emulation experiments and tight-binding calculations. In particular, it is investigated under which conditions a transport gap can be observed. Our experiments provide evidence that armchair ribbons of width $3m+2$ with integer $m$ are metallic and otherwise semiconducting, whereas zigzag ribbons are metallic independent of their width. The contact geometry, defining to which atoms at the ribbon edges the source and drain leads are attached, has strong effects on the transport. If leads are attached only to the inner atoms of zigzag edges, broad transport gaps can be observed in all armchair ribbons as well as in rhomboid-shaped zigzag ribbons. All experimental results agree qualitatively with tight-binding calculations using the nonequilibrium Green's function method.

description: Purpose – This study aims to improve a construction company’s overall project delivery by utilising lean six sigma (LSS) methods combined with building information modelling (BIM) to design, modularise and manufacture various building elements in a controlled factory environment off-site. Design/methodology/approach – A case study in a construction company utilised lean six sigma (LSS) methodology and BIM to identify non-value add waste in the construction process and improve sustainability. Findings – An Irish-based construction company manufacturing modular pipe racks for the pharmaceutical industry utilised LSS to optimise and standardise their off-site manufacturing (OSM) partners process and leverage BIM to design skids which could be manufactured offsite and transported easily with minimal on-site installation and rework required. Productivity was improved, waste was reduced, less energy was consumed, defects were reduced and the project schedule for completion was reduced. Research limitations/implications – The case study was carried out on one construction company and one construction product type. Further case studies would ensure more generalisability. However, the implementation was tested on a modular construction company, and the methods used indicate that the generic framework could be applied and customized to any offsite company. Originality/value – This is one of the few studies on implementing offsite manufacturing (OSM) utilising LSS and BIM in an Irish construction company. The detailed quantitative benefits and cost savings calculations presented as well as the use of the LSM methods and BIM in designing an OSM process can be leveraged by other construction organisations to understand the benefits of OSM. This study can help demonstrate how LSS and BIM can aid the construction industry to be more environmentally friendly.
Contribution of Unified Billing System in Facilitating Public Service Delivery: the Case of Selected Lehulu Centers in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Sertsu, Rahel
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: The Unified Billing System (UBS) project, as part of E-Gov initiatives, is one of the major interventions by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT), Ethiopia, to unify the bill payment of various utilities for the convenience and benefit of citizens. It focuses on enhancing the quality of Service available to the citizen through re-defining the way citizens pay their utility bills which was introduced based on public-private partnership between the Ministry of Information and Communication and a private company named Kifiya Financial Technology. With this premise, this paper is an attempt to understand the contribution of UBS and its various challenges and bottlenecks that are being faced in making this system sustainable. The system is able to reduce the burden the government face financially and in deploying the essential expertise, it has also created an opportunity to improve government service delivery to citizens, and within government agencies by creating more transparency, greater convenience, less corruption, revenue growth and cost reduction. It has also created job opportunities to the young unemployed. It is however, noteworthy that these perceived benefits to the citizens from this project can only be accrued when Lehulu centres met the expectation of citizens and accelerate the service delivery. The study also reveals that there was lack of coordination at the government's end in terms of having no structured framework for complaint handling and no risk mitigation plan in place for a project of this dimension. Moreover, as the system is not yet synchronized, citizens are charged more than their regular bill. This is of utmost importance in order to upgrade UBS as a key actor to enhance public service delivery. The study calls for an improved enabling environment for citizens like UBS to improve integrated Public Service Delivery.

description: From the analysis of the relaxation process of isolated lattice many-body quantum systems quenched far from equilibrium, we deduce a criterion for predicting when they are certain to thermalize. It is based on the algebraic behavior $\propto t^{-γ}$ of the survival probability at long times. We show that the value of the power-law exponent $γ$ depends on the shape and filling of the weighted energy distribution of the initial state. Two scenarios are explored in details: $γ\ge 2$ and $γ<1$. Exponents $γ\ge 2$ imply that the energy distribution of the initial state is ergodically filled and the eigenstates are uncorrelated, so thermalization is guaranteed to happen. In this case, the power-law behavior is caused by bounds in the energy spectrum. Decays with $γ< 1$ emerge when the energy eigenstates are correlated and signal lack of ergodicity. They are typical of systems undergoing localization due to strong onsite disorder and are found also in clean integrable systems.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Entrepreneurship is increasingly recognized as an important driver of economic growth, productivity, innovation and employment, and it is widely accepted as a key aspect of economic dynamism. The role of women entrepreneurship is inevitable in any country. Motivation is a significant factor in the startup and success of the business classified as pull and push factors by previous researchers. On the other hand, there are success factors which contribute for Entrepreneurial Success. The major objective of this study was investigating the relationship of Motivational and Success factors with Entrepreneurial Success. This research is Cross-sectional field survey and causal study. It was conducted on 80 women entrepreneurs who are active members of AWEP using census. All hypothesis were tested using Pearson Correlation and Regression analysis, controlling for demographic variables of age, education, marital status, number of children, number of dependents, previous work experience, number of years as an entrepreneur, and working hours per week. While the result of the study found significant effect of pull motivational factors and success factors, there is a marginal effect of push motivational factors on women entrepreneurs' success. Based on the Regression result; 32%, 42% and 13% of the variation of Entrepreneurial success is explained by pull motivational factors, success factors and push motivational factors respectively. Key words: Women Entrepreneurs, Motivational Factors, Success Factors, Entrepreneurial Success
Effect of Internal Marketing Strategy on Employee Performance: Case of Nib Insurance Company

description: In service providing industries, people play important role in achieving organizational goal and profitability of the company. However, these employees are affected by the existing internal marketing strategy an organization follows. As different scholars and literatures reveal, happy and satisfied employees would prefer to stay and work in a same organization for a longer time and are productive in what they do. The study target population was employees of Nib Insurance Company who worked there for more than one year. 80 samples of employees were selected based on their convenience and easiness to access. Questionnaire was distributed to selected respondents to obtain their evaluation of the company's' Internal Marketing strategy and to investigate the effect of this variables on employees performance. The collected questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and inferential analyses with the help of SPSS version 20 statistical software program. The study revealed that all internal marketing variables significantly and positively affect employee performance. The regression analysis showed that, of all the independent variables, reward, significantly affect employee performance. Therefore, reward system must be reviewed and should be given attention to overcome the deteriorating income earning and the increasing employee turnover observed in the company for the past three years. Since the study took small sample size and considered only four internal marketing variables, generalizing the result for other service providing industries would be difficult. Therefore, the researcher suggest for further study to be conducted taking larger sample size from different service providing industries and considering other internal marketing elements in to account.

description: Local or nonlocal character of quantum states can be quantified and is subject to various bounds that can be formulated as complementarity relations. Here, we investigate the local vs nonlocal character of pure three-qubit states by a four-way interferometer. The complete entanglement in the system can be measured as the entanglement of a specific qubit with the subsystem consisting of the other two qubits. The quantitative complementarity relations are verified experimentally in an NMR quantum information processor.

ICT Use to Improve Education Quality through Plasma TV: Implementation challenges in Selected Secondary Schools in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Atsede, Getahun
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The education sector of the Ethiopian Government has formulated the ICT in education policy to utilize the ICTs opportunity for the improvement of quality of education. This mainly implemented through the launching of plasma television learning media in all public high schools across the nation. This research assesses the implementation process of plasma mode education and its challenges that are hindering the achievements of education quality goals in secondary schools of Addis Ababa. Mixed methods with qualitative emphasis were applied as a methodology to address the research questions. Primary data were collected through questionnaire in simple random sampling technique by using lottery method. In addition, interviews were conducted face to face with higher officials in Addis Ababa Education Bureau (AAEB), Center for Education Information Communication Technology (CEICT) and directors and teachers from selected secondary schools. Secondary data were collected from several documents. The Data collected from multiple sources was analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The research concluded that the goals of provision of quality education through plasma mode education are suffering from several challenges. Based on the analysis and interpretation of data, findings of this research show that there is lack of focus and commitment from education administrators on effective implementation. Lack of interest of teachers as well as students towards learning and teaching through plasma and lack of effective school infrastructure and supply are challenges that this research reveals. The study recommends many topics in order to make effective plasma TV implementation and achieve education quality goals that include revision of the education policy, enhanced collaboration with public service providers, capacity building of teachers, and focused management.

description: Face au « dérèglement climatique [qui] devrait profondément perturber notre système de soins » [4], la transformation écologique de nos établissements de santé est essentielle pour limiter l’impact de notre système de santé qui représente 8% des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, en France [4]. La transformation écologique va s’accompagner inévitablement de changements dans les pratiques de soins. La place de l’hygiéniste est essentielle pour accompagner ces changements tout en garantissant la qualité et la sécurité des soins. Un soin durable doit être un soin sûr. Nous présentons ici la collaboration des hygiénistes de notre établissement dans les projets de transformation écologique au travers de différents exemples. Tout d’abord, le bon usage des gants à usage unique, que l’équipe opérationnelle d’hygiène (EOH) rappelle de ne porter qu’à bon escient pour une hygiène des mains adaptée et prévenir le risque de transmission croisée des micro-organismes. Ensuite, l’entretien des sols avec des microfibres, qui permet de diminuer l’exposition des patients et des professionnels aux produits chimiques, la consommation d’eau et les rejets de ces produits dans les effluents tout en améliorant l’efficacité détergente. Nous nous intéressons aussi au tri des déchets, car réduire le volume des déchets d’activités de soins à risques infectieux (Dasri) tout en respectant la réglementation et la sécurité des professionnels réduit l’impact environnemental, le coût, et permet de simplifier les consignes de tri. Une place importante est réservée au bon usage de l’eau, dont les établissements de santé sont de gros consommateurs, la collaboration de l’EOH avec les services techniques ayant permis de diminuer le risque infectieux associé, tout en réduisant les consommations et en limitant l’usage de l’eau embouteillée au juste nécessaire. Enfin, nous comparons l’usage unique à la réutilisation, l’étude d’impact environnemental ne devant pas se limiter au volume de déchets, et la prise en compte du risque infectieux potentiel de chaque dispositif médical ou consommable étant indispensable. Ces exemples illustrent le rôle essentiel de l’hygiéniste dans cette démarche.

description: Our goal is to study the evolution of the $B-$band luminosity function (LF) since $z=1$ using ALHAMBRA data. We used the photometric redshift and the $I-$band selection magnitude probability distribution functions (PDFs) of those ALHAMBRA galaxies with $I\leq24$ mag to compute the posterior LF. We statistically studied quiescent and star-forming galaxies using the template information encoded in the PDFs. The LF covariance matrix in redshift-magnitude-galaxy type space was computed, including the cosmic variance. That was estimated from the intrinsic dispersion of the LF measurements in the 48 ALHAMBRA sub-fields. The uncertainty due to the photometric redshift prior is also included in our analysis. We modelled the LF with a redshift-dependent Schechter function affected by the same selection effects than the data. The measured ALHAMBRA LF at $0.2\leq z<1$ and the evolving Schechter parameters both for quiescent and star-forming galaxies agree with previous results in the literature. The estimated redshift evolution of $M_B^* \propto Qz$ is $Q_{\rm SF}=-1.03\pm0.08$ and $Q_{\rm Q}=-0.80\pm0.08$, and of $\log ϕ^* \propto Pz$ is $P_{\rm SF}=-0.01\pm0.03$ and $P_{\rm Q}=-0.41\pm0.05$. The measured faint-end slopes are $α_{\rm SF}=-1.29\pm0.02$ and $α_{\rm Q}=-0.53\pm0.04$. We find a significant population of faint quiescent galaxies, modelled by a second Schechter function with slope $β=-1.31\pm0.11$. We find a factor $2.55\pm0.14$ decrease in the luminosity density $j_B$ of star-forming galaxies, and a factor $1.25\pm0.16$ increase in the $j_B$ of quiescent ones since $z=1$, confirming the continuous build-up of the quiescent population with cosmic time. The contribution of the faint quiescent population to $j_B$ increases from 3% at $z=1$ to 6% at $z=0$. The developed methodology will be applied to future multi-filter surveys such as J-PAS.

Effect of Training on Employees' Performance and Organizational Effectiveness - A Survey on Private Banks and Leather Industry
Creators: name: Beyazen, Mengistu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: The effectiveness and success of an organization lies on the people who form and work within the organization. Therefore, the employees in an organization to be able to perform their duties and make meaningful contributions to the success of the organizational goals need to acquire the relevant skills and knowledge. After the training programs, an evaluation is carried out to ascertain the effectiveness of the organization from the training in line with the need, which had been identified. The main focus of this study is to examine how much organizations are effective from employees' training expenditure. The study achieved the objective of the research through survey study with sample organization which have been selected from the two industries (banking and leather) with help questionnaires for employees and interviews with human resources managers of the sample organizations. The study found sample banks and leather firms were spent 1,050,000 birr and 167,000 birr on average per year for employees' training, respectively. But, there is great variation in training expenditure among firms in both industries, especially; the variation is high among leather firms irrespective of number of employees, over 90% of them were using subjective methods to evaluate organizational effectiveness from employees' training expenditure and only less than (10%) of them was used Kirkpatrick Model, as evaluation tools, but no one who was used Cost-Benefit analysis or Return on Investment models as evaluation tool, both firms were moderately effective from the employees' training expenditure irrespective the industry in which they exist and main conclusion drawn were the emphasis given for training by majority of the firm is still low, especially in leather firms organization could not evaluate their effectiveness in terms of all possible returns from the employees training expenditure as effectively and efficiently with the help of subjective measures only and result of the evaluation could be insufficient to make decision in different aspect of training for the future. Therefore, Organization should allocate sufficient amount of budget to train this key resources of the organization and they should use objective models in addition to the subjective methods, and the organizations should design their training program based the need assessment result to be effective from the training expenditure.

description: Supercooled liquid and glassy acetylsalicylic acid was studied using dielectric spectroscopy and deuteron relaxometry in a wide temperature range. The supercooled liquid is characterized by major deviations from thermally activated behavior. In the glass the secondary relaxation exhibits the typical features of a Johari-Goldstein process. Via measurements of spin-lattice relaxation times the selectively deuterated methyl group was used as a sensitive probe of its local environments. There is a large difference in the mean activation energy in the glass with respect to that in crystalline acetylsalicylic acid. This can be understood by taking into account the broad energy barrier distribution in the glass.
Transport Problems of People with Disabilities and Policy Issues: Cases in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Eseta, Tessema
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Transport disability – the unnecessary exclusion of disabled people from current forms of transport. It has a major impact on the lives and life choices of any disabled people. Many people with disabilities do not have equal access to health care, education, and employment opportunities, they do not receive the disability-related services that they require, and experience exclusion from everyday life activities.Transport is essential for disabled people to access education, employment, health services, social events and leisure pursuits. A lack of accessible means of transport creates social exclusion for many disabled people.The aim of this paper was to study the transportation problems of people with disabilities and policies issues in Ethiopia. In addition, it helped to bring together the empirical evidence on the nature and type of the problems of the transportation of People with Disabilities and to develop policy-relevant data on disability as well as to add necessary data to the pool of existing policies to be used by policymakers in designing transportation systems that serve everyone equally. The study was conducted in Addis Ababa using both qualitative and quantitative researchusing different instruments. The study basically relied on the use of primary data collected in the month of March, 2017 from randomly selected clients. In addition, secondary data, semi structured interviews, observation and desk study were used to collect data for analysis. As it has been revealed Transport disability has a major impact on the lives and life choices of any disabled people to access education, employment, health services, social events and leisure pursuits. A lack of accessible means of independent travel creates social exclusion for many disabled people. The study also confirmed that Transportation is an extremely important policy issue and lack the inclusion of transportation disabilities in the country's policies and direction.. Recommendations based on the findings of the study in transportation disability are presented. Key Words: Transportation Disability, Disability, Traveller Diary, Policy issues

description: We investigate the consequence of vector leptoquarks on the rare semileptonic lepton flavour violating decays of $B$ meson which are more promising and effective channels to probe the new physics signal. We constrain the resulting new leptoquark parameter space by using the branching ratios of $B_{s, d} \to l^+ l^-$, $K_L \to l^+ l^-$ and $τ^- \to l^- γ$ processes. We estimate the branching ratios of rare lepton flavour violating $B \to K(π)l_i^- l_j^+$ processes using the constrained leptoquark couplings. We also compute the forward-backward asymmetries and the lepton non-universality parameters of the LFV decays in the vector leptoquark model. Furthermore, we study the effect of vector leptoquark on $(g-2)_μ$ anomaly.

The Determinants of the Export Competitiveness of the Coffee Industry in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Mulugeta, Assefa
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The general objective of the study is to examine the export competitiveness and determinants of export performance of Ethiopian coffee sector. In analyzing competitiveness of the country in its exports of coffee, a data from UNCTAD-ITC is used for the periods 1991-2016. The Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) measures of competitiveness were used for the analysis. Furthermore, a multiple regression (OLS model) is also employed to investigate the determinants of coffee export competitiveness and performance as well. Results for the RCA and RSCA showed that Ethiopia has comparative advantage in exports of coffee. The regression analysis revealed domestic consumption level of coffee affects the export competitiveness of the product adversely and this relationship is statistically significant. Other variables including domestic production level, world price of coffee, exchange rate and export volume are found to affect the export competitiveness positively and the effect is significant. Though domestic producer price affects the export performance of the sector positively, the effect is statistically insignificant. The country should consider measures to address current inefficiencies in the supply side, management of price risk which are resulted from the volatile nature of both domestic and international coffee prices, quality improvement and illegal trade.
