description: ABSTRACT: The self-organizing map (SOM) is a nonlinear machine learning algorithm that is particularly well suited for visualizing and analyzing high-dimensional, hyperspectral time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) imaging data. Previously, we compared the capabilities of the SOM with more traditional linear techniques using ToF-SIMS imaging data. Although SOMs perform well with minimal data preprocessing and negligible hyperparameter optimization, it is important to understand how different data preprocessing methods and hyperparameter settings influence the performance of SOMs. While these investigations have been reported outside of the ToF-SIMS field, no such study has been reported for hyperspectral MSI data. To address this, we used two labelled ToF-SIMS imaging data sets, one of which was a polymer microarray data set while the other was semi-synthetic hyperspectral data. The latter was generated using a novel algorithm which we describe. A grid-search was used to evaluate which data preprocessing methods and SOM hyperparameters had the largest impact on the performance of the SOM. This was assessed using multiple linear regression, whereby performance metrics were regressed onto each variable defining the preprocessing-hyperparameter space. We found that preprocessing was generally more important than hyperparameter selection. We also found statistically significant interactions between several parameters studied, suggesting a complex interplay between preprocessing and hyperparameter selection. Importantly, we identified interesting trends, both data set specific and data set agnostic, which we describe and discuss in detail.
Shear yielding and shear jamming of dense hard sphere glasses

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the response of dense hard sphere glasses to a shear strain, in a wide range of pressures ranging from the glass transition to the infinite-pressure jamming point. The phase diagram in the density-shear strain plane is calculated analytically using the mean field infinite dimensional solution. We find that just above the glass transition, the glass generically yields at a finite shear strain. The yielding transition, in the mean field picture, is a spinodal point in presence of disorder. At higher densities, instead, we find that the glass generically jams at a finite shear strain: the jamming transition prevents yielding. The shear yielding and shear jamming lines merge in a critical point, close to which the system yields at extremely large shear stress. Around this point, a highly non-trivial yielding dynamics characterized by system-spanning disordered fractures is expected.

description: We produce gravitational waveforms for nonspinning compact binaries undergoing a quasicircular inspiral. Our approach is based on a two-timescale expansion of the Einstein equations in second-order self-force theory, which allows first-principles waveform production in tens of milliseconds. Although the approach is designed for extreme mass ratios, our waveforms agree remarkably well with those from full numerical relativity, even for comparable-mass systems. Our results will be invaluable in accurately modelling extreme-mass-ratio inspirals for the LISA mission and intermediate-mass-ratio systems currently being observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration.

description: This paper introduces a novel method for the efficient second-order accurate computation of normal fields from volume fractions on unstructured polyhedral meshes. Locally, i.e. in each mesh cell, an averaged normal is reconstructed by fitting a plane in a least squares sense to the volume fraction data of neighboring cells while implicitly accounting for volume conservation in the cell at hand. The resulting minimization problem is solved approximately by employing a Newton-type method. Moreover, applying the Reynolds transport theorem allows to assess the regularity of the derivatives. Since the divergence theorem implies that the volume fraction can be cast as a sum of face-based quantities, our method considerably simplifies the numerical procedure for applications in three spatial dimensions while demonstrating an inherent ability to robustly deal with unstructured meshes. We discuss the theoretical foundations, regularity and appropriate error measures, along with the details of the numerical algorithm. Finally, numerical results for convex and non-convex hypersurfaces embedded in cuboidal and tetrahedral meshes are presented, where we obtain second-order convergence for the normal alignment and symmetric volume difference. Moreover, the findings are substantiated by completely new deep insights into the minimization procedure.

description: Light enables manipulating many-body states of matter, and atoms trapped in optical lattices is a prominent example. However, quantum properties of light are completely neglected in all quantum gas experiments. Extending methods of quantum optics to many-body physics will enable phenomena unobtainable in classical optical setups. We show how using the quantum optical feedback creates strong correlations in bosonic and fermionic systems. It balances two competing processes, originating from different fields: quantum backaction of weak optical measurement and many-body dynamics, resulting in stabilized density waves, antiferromagnetic and NOON states. Our approach is extendable to other systems promising for quantum technologies.

description: Pflege in kirchlichen Einrichtungen ist traditionell von einer christlichen Haltung geprägt, die sich in der Beziehungsgestaltung ausdrückt. Die Untersuchung mit Diakonissen i. R. sowie Pflegekräften aus diakonischen Einrichtungen zeigt den Wandel in Beziehungsansprüchen und praxis auf: Pflege als Lebensweg aufgrund von Berufung wird zu einer Erwerbsarbeit, die den Pflegekräften ein Privatleben lässt. Pflege wurde lange als Allerweltstätigkeit (weiblicher Liebesdienst) angesehen. Professionalisierung hat mittlerweile zu qualifizierter Ausbildung und hohem Qualitätsstandard geführt. Dabei droht die Bedeutung der nicht-funktionalistischen interaktiven Pflegeelemente übersehen zu werden. Der Schwerpunkt verschiebt sich von der Beziehungsgestaltung ("Mitmenschlichkeit") auf die fachlich-technischen Aktivitäten. Auch das Bild des Bedürftigen unterliegt einem Wandel vom Patienten hin zum Kunden.

Factors Affecting Managerial Effectiveness of Cooperatives as Local Development Actors: the Case of Becho Weliso Farmers' Cooperative Union
Creators: name: Argeta, Teshome
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Recent studies have underlined the importance of effective management for effective organizational performance. Cooperatives being unique forms of enterprises are working to meet two conflicting goals, viz. efficiency and associational (democracy) goals. The focus of this paper is therefore to descriptively investigate factors affecting managerial effectiveness of the coop union understudy with the aim of suggesting possible solutions for the improvement of problems identified and also draw lessons as best practice for others. The case study was conducted based on the 29 samples taken from within the case population of the cooperative union, i.e. GA members, BOD members, and employees of the coop unions based on two stage sampling procedure. The sample also included 5 individuals from employees of organizing and regulating organ (Oromia Cooperative Promotion Agency/OCPA). The findings from the analysis made on data obtained from sampled sources have shown that significant gaps/problems the coop union has been facing in its journey towards meeting stated mission. These come under two major categories, viz. the contribution that the coop union makes to the local development of the wereda and the various problems that constrain its capacity in playing more significant role in governance (local development endeavor). The findings of this study revealed that the coop union has been making significant contribution in the local development endeavor in both economic and social aspects. However, there have also been various problems limiting the coop union form fully playing its role in the local development of the wereda. These include leadership related gaps and other problems emanating thereof (such as lack of competence and commitment leaders, incomprehensiveness of the byelaw of the coop union, lack of established communication system, lack of well-developed system/standards of accountability, lack of established organizational culture and shared view on the coop values, principles and laws, missing link in the organizational structure of the coop union, direction of growth of the coop union's business); managers related gaps; weak members participation; government role related gaps (weak enforcement of rules and regulations, lack of knowledge center specifically designed for cooperatives, outdated provisions of cooperative laws) and the negative effect of competition

description: Unter Arbeitsmarktforschern gilt als unbestritten, dass die Flexibilisierung von Beschäftigungsverhältnissen in Deutschland seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre zu einem Wandel von sozialer Ungleichheit beigetragen hat. Wie sich dieser Wandel vollzogen hat, wird in Form eines Review-Beitrags dargelegt. Im Zentrum stehen vier Typen numerisch-flexibler Arbeitsverhältnisse: Vertragsbefristung, Leiharbeit, Teilzeitarbeit und Mini- bzw. Midijob. Dargestellt werden Verbreitungsgrade, betroffene Erwerbspersonen und Effekte auf die Verteilung von Lebenschancen. Der Vergleich der vier Beschäftigungstypen zeigt, dass Flexibilisierung heterogene Wirkungen hervorruft. Für die meisten betroffenen Beschäftigten bringen flexible Jobs erhöhte Risiken im Erwerbsverlauf mit sich. Sie wirken sich besonders negativ auf die Lebenschancen von gering gebildeten bzw. beruflich gering qualifizierten Beschäftigten, älteren Arbeitnehmern und Berufseinsteigern aus. Zugleich ermöglicht Beschäftigungsflexibilisierung für manche Erwerbspersonengrup n unter bestimmten Bedingungen auch Vorteile. Dabei haben jene Beschäftigungsformen im Zeitverlauf den größten Zuwachs erfahren, die den Erwerbspersonen begrenzte Flexibilisierungsgewinne ermöglichen.

Our construction immediately gives homogeneous sandwich cellular bases for the finite dimensional quotients of these algebras. Since weighted KLRW algebras generalize KLR algebras, we also obtain bases and cellularity results for the (infinite and finite dimensional) KLR algebras.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Today, with growing economic problems in various countries and more competition between domestic and foreign banks retention of customers more and more has become the key to survival of banks. The concept of relationship marketing has attracted considerable attention from marketing researcher recently. The main and fundamental advantage of this approach is claimed to build stronger relationship with customer which its performance results include increased sales, profits, market share and customer retention. This research examines the effect of the components of relationship marketing (trust, bonding, responsiveness, empathy, and reciprocity) on customer retention in order to first determine that if relationship marketing has any effect on customer retention and second, if so, which aspect has greatest impact on customer retention. The study is based on information collected from both primary and secondary sources of data. The sample for this study is taken from customers of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia and Dashen Bank located in Addis Ababa. The method used for sampling was convenience and non-probability sampling and questionnaires were used for collecting data which were distributed and collected randomly in various days, locations (different bank branches) and hours for more generalizability of the resulted findings and the results of data analysis obtained by using SPSS version 22 software show that the components of relationship marketing have positive effect on the level of customer retention. Data analyses were done using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, cross-tabulations, and tables followed by discussions. Moreover, inferential statistics of bivariate correlations and simple as well as multiple regressions were used. Based on the overall study, customer relationship marketing is positively associated with customer retention in the context of both CBE and Dashen Bank S.Co. And also, dimensions in the CRM as trust, bonding, empathy, reciprocity and responsiveness have the significant relationship with customer retention. Therefore, banks competitiveness and profitability will depend on their ability to build strong relationship marketing strategy with their customers continuously. Furthermore, future research directions were also suggested on this study

description: We show how to use on-shell unitarity methods to calculate renormalization group coefficients such as beta functions and anomalous dimensions. The central objects are the form factors of composite operators. Their discontinuities can be calculated via phase-space integrals and are related to corresponding anomalous dimensions. In particular, we find that the dilatation operator, which measures the anomalous dimensions, is given by minus the phase of the S-matrix divided by pi. We illustrate our method using several examples from Yang-Mills theory, perturbative QCD and Yukawa theory at one-loop level and beyond.

description: Der demografische Wandel in Deutschland lässt sich auch ohne einen weiteren Abbau bei den Renten finanzieren. Eine Kapitaldeckung oder Teil-Privatisierung ist gesamtwirtschaftlich betrachtet kontraproduktiv. Hierdurch werden lediglich die Gewinn- und Vermögenseinkünfte und die Versicherungen, Banken und Finanzdienstleister bevorteilt. Das solidarische Umlageverfahren ist nach wie vor der richtige Weg zur Finanzierung der Renten. Zukünftig kommt es allerdings vor dem Hintergrund des demografischen Wandels vermehrt auf eine Verteilungssolidarität in der Gesellschaft an. Verteilungsspielräume sind dazu hinlänglich sowohl beim Einkommen als auch beim Vermögen vorhanden.

description: Überhomology is a recently defined homology theory for simplicial complexes, which yields subtle information on graphs. We prove that bold homology, a certain specialisation of überhomology, is related to dominating sets in graphs. To this end, we interpret überhomology as a poset homology, and investigate its functoriality properties. We then show that the Euler characteristic of the bold homology of a graph coincides with an evaluation of its connected domination polynomial. Even more, the bold chain complex retracts onto a complex generated by connected dominating sets. We conclude with several computations of this homology on families of graphs; these include a vanishing result for trees, and a characterisation result for complete graphs.

description: Die zentrale Frage des Artikels ist: Welche Voraussetzungen sind zu beachten, damit Wissenstransfer im Bereich der sozialen Arbeit funktioniert? Dazu werden zuerst der Begriff des Wissenstransfers definiert und anschließend Hypothesen entwickelt, die die unterstützenden Einflussfaktoren aufzeigen. Die Hypothesen beschreiben Routinen, Motivation und Einstellung sowie Normen und Führungskultur. Am empirischen Beispiel eines Wohlfahrtsverbandes werden die entwickelten Hypothesen getestet. Dazu wurden die Nutzer und Wissensmanagementbeauftragten eines Wissensmanagementsystems des Wohlfahrtverbandes online befragt. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Transfer von Wissen durch Routinen und wahrgenommene Reziprozität für alle Nutzer gezielt gefördert werden kann. Differenzen zeigen sich zwischen Wissensmanagementbeauftragten und normalen Nutzern: Bei Wissensmanagementbeauftragten wird der Wissenstransfer zusätzlich durch die Beziehung zum Vorgesetzten beeinflusst, während die normalen Nutzer durch die wahrgenommene Bedeutung in ihren Wissenstransferaktivitäten unterstützt werden. Ebenso sind Unterschiede innerhalb des Wissenstransfers feststellbar: Verschiedene Faktoren unterstützen die beiden Wissenstransferdimensionen Wissen geben und Wissen bekommen .

description: Turbulente Unternehmensumwelten drängen auf einen Wechsel der Managementparadigmen. Im Rekurs auf Ergebnisse einer empirischen Untersuchung in Telekommunikationsbetrieben wird festgestellt, dass neue Steuerungs- und Führungsinstrumente dabei eine Schlüsselrolle spielen und sie in dieser Branche intensiv genutzt werden. Es zeigte sich jedoch, dass die Möglichkeiten, die mit diesen Instrumenten für einen nicht bürokratischen, diskursiven Koordinationsmodus und für eine Ausweitung der Beschäftigtenpartizipation entstehen, nicht ausgeschöpft werden. Hat aber Bürokratie in erster Linie nur ihr Gewand gewechselt und werden die neuen Steuerungsinstrumente überdies dazu verwendet, wirtschaftliche Risiken auf abhängig Beschäftigte zu verlagern, handelt es sich eher um einen Formwandel der Bürokratie und der Paradigmenwechsel steht noch aus.

description: The kinetic study of plasma sheaths is critical, among other things, to understand the deposition of heat on walls, the effect of sputtering, and contamination of the plasma with detrimental impurities. The plasma sheath also provides a boundary condition and can often have a significant global impact on the bulk plasma. In this paper, kinetic studies of classical sheaths are performed with the continuum code, Gkeyll, that directly solves the Vlasov-Poisson/Maxwell equations. The code uses a novel version of the finite-element discontinuous Galerkin (DG) scheme that conserves energy in the continuous-time limit. The electrostatic field is computed using the Poisson equation. Ionization and scattering collisions are included, however, surface effects are neglected. The aim of this work is to introduce the continuum-kinetic method and compare its results to those obtained from an already established finite-volume multi-fluid model also implemented in Gkeyll. Novel boundary conditions on the fluids allow the sheath to form without specifying wall fluxes, so the fluids and fields adjust self-consistently at the wall. The work presented here demonstrates that the kinetic and fluid results are in agreement for the momentum flux, showing that in certain regimes, a multi-fluid model can be a useful approximation for simulating the plasma boundary. There are differences in the electrostatic potential between the fluid and kinetic results. Further, the direct solutions of the distribution function presented here highlight the non-Maxwellian distribution of electrons in the sheath, emphasizing the need for a kinetic model.

Program Note
I became familiar with the Tarantella during the time I lived in Sicily in the 1990s, where I was fascinated by the idea of Tarantella as a ‘curative’ dance performed by pairs of women in villages on the slopes of the active volcano in Sicily, Mount Etna (Mangibeddu in Sicilian). This piece uses the Tarantella to link my current life in Australia to the formative years I lived in Sicily. A vinyl record of Tarantella, found in a Sicilian market, and ‘prepared’ with a personal note etched into the surface. The graphic score is made of colours extracted from the cover of that record. All that remains of the dance form – its frenetic energy and 6/8 rhythms - resides in this modified record – and the work is instead underpinned by low frequency sounds and drones, the result of years of listening to the mystique of Mangibeddu, and thinking about the impact this important place has had on my life and friendships.

performance instructions
The starting dynamic is medium soft. The widening of the line indicates an increase in volume and density of texture. The score is proportional, and Middle C is provided as a guide but all references to it should be approximate. No vibrato unless marked. Static. You may change the tuning of your instrument.
The guitar should use a Freeze, Loop, distortion and tremolo pedal/switch (Morricone style). The use of the pedal is indicated with a letter inside a square.
The turntable part is indicated with a black line. Use a small ‘single’ record of a Tarantella and write your experience of sility on it so that the record is very scratched, or use one provided by the composer. Alter the volume as indicated. Play the 45 at 33rpm or even slower if possible. When the line stops, that indicates lifting the stylus up. Restart at any point of the record, making sure to leave enough record to play through. You may move the stylus during the playback part.
The organ should have a volume pedal and tremolo switch. The percussion part consists of crosses (non-pitched strikes – cymbals, bass drum and other objects: ignore middle C reference) lines (bowed cymbal and vibraphone).

description: This paper provides a concise description of the free energy principle, starting from a formulation of random dynamical systems in terms of a Langevin equation and ending with a Bayesian mechanics that can be read as a physics of sentience. It rehearses the key steps using standard results from statistical physics. These steps entail (i) establishing a particular partition of states based upon conditional independencies that inherit from sparsely coupled dynamics, (ii) unpacking the implications of this partition in terms of Bayesian inference and (iii) describing the paths of particular states with a variational principle of least action. Teleologically, the free energy principle offers a normative account of self-organisation in terms of optimal Bayesian design and decision-making, in the sense of maximising marginal likelihood or Bayesian model evidence. In summary, starting from a description of the world in terms of random dynamical systems, we end up with a description of self-organisation as sentient behaviour that can be interpreted as self-evidencing; namely, self-assembly, autopoiesis or active inference.

Effects Of Marketing Strategy On Market Performance From Employee Perspetcive Of Lion Bank
Creators: name: Fekadu, Yohannes
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: When it comes to marketing strategies, most people spontaneously think about the 4P (Product, Price, Place, and Promotion). Market segmentation and the identification of target markets, however, are an important element of each marketing strategy. To achieve the objectives of this study descriptive survey and explanatory research design was used. With the objective to answer the research questions, questionnaires were administered to target respondents of employees of the Bank that directly involved in formulating & implementing of the marketing strategy. Data was collected through questionnaire from a sample of 109 employees that were selected using simple random sampling method for the employees of Lion bank. The data collected from the questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS version 16.0statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The finding of the study indicates also that employees were most satisfied with the marketing strategy dimension. The results of this study indicate that, marketing strategy dimensions such as (price, product, promotion and place) have positive and significant relationship with market performance. Furthermore, the results also indicate that, unlike place strategy, the three marketing strategy dimensions (price, promotion, and product) have positive and significant effect on market performance. The findings of this study revealed that the variation contributed by the four components of the marketing mix strategy (i.e., product, price, promotion & place strategy) played a considerable contribution towards the market performance of the Bank. Further the researcher concluded that this yields an average or moderate marketing program and financial performance at end

description: The convergence of a recently proposed coupled cluster (CC) family of perturbation series [Eriksen, J. J. et al., J. Chem. Phys. 140, 064108 (2014)], in which the energetic difference between two CC models - a low-level parent and a high-level target model - is expanded in orders of the Møller-Plesset (MP) fluctuation potential, is investigated for four prototypical closed-shell systems (Ne, singlet methylene, distorted HF, and the fluoride anion) in standard and augmented basis sets. In these investigations, energy corrections of the various series have been calculated to high orders and their convergence radii determined by probing for possible front- and back-door intruder states, the existence of which would make the series divergent. In summary, we conclude how it is primarily the choice of target state, and not the choice of parent state, which ultimately governs the convergence behavior of a given series. For example, restricting the target state to, say, triple or quadruple excitations might remove intruders present in series that target the full configuration interaction (FCI) limit, such as the standard MP series. Furthermore, we find that whereas a CC perturbation series might converge within standard correlation consistent basis sets, it may start to diverge whenever these become augmented by diffuse functions, similar to the MP case. However, unlike for the MP case, such potential divergences are not found to invalidate the practical use of the low-order corrections of the CC perturbation series.

description: Extending the idea from the recent paper by Carbonero, Hompe, Moore, and Spirkl, for every function $f\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$ with $f(1)=1$ and $f(n)\geq\binom{3n+1}{3}$, we construct a hereditary class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$ such that the maximum chromatic number of a graph in $\mathcal{G}$ with clique number $n$ is equal to $f(n)$ for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$. In particular, we prove that there exist hereditary classes of graphs that are $χ$-bounded but not polynomially $χ$-bounded.

Magnetar Outbursts from Avalanches of Hall Waves and Crustal Failures

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We explore the interaction between Hall waves and mechanical failures inside a magnetar crust, using detailed one-dimentional models that consider temperature-sensitive plastic flow, heat transport and cooling by neutrino emission, as well as the coupling of the crustal motion to the magnetosphere. We find that the dynamics is enriched and accelerated by the fast, short-wavelength Hall waves that are emitted by each failure. The waves propagate and cause failures elsewhere, triggering avalanches. We argue that these avalanches are the likely sources of outbursts in transient magnetars.

Marketing and Sales Strategies of ELFORA Argo-Industries Plc.
Creators: name: Hailu, Getinet
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia

description: The main purpose of the research was to analyze the marketing and sales strategies of ELFORA Agro-Industries Plc. Since its establishment, the company's profitability and return on investment has been very low, even when it is compared to the current bank saving rate of 4%. The study tried to identify the major marketing and sales problems that contributed to such unsatisfactory level of financial performance. In order to address those problem issues, the researcher conducted interview with the relevant company managers and referred secondary data sources. The collected data and information were compiled and analyzed for possible indications of problem areas. It was found that the main marketing and sales factors that contributed to the low profit level to be the under utilization of existing production and auxiliary facilities, inconsistency in product supply and delivery, inadequate and inconsistent demand for some of the company's products, high cost of production due to low capacity utilization and untimely purchase of raw material inputs, which resulted in higher prices than competitors leading to loss of market share. It was finally recommended a series of measures that the company should take in order to improve the current situation. These measures will ultimately provide the company with the advantage of cost-leadership that will strengthen its market position in terms of market share, price competitiveness, and eventual customer satisfaction.
The Magnetic Part of the Weyl Tensor, and the Expansion of Discrete Universes

description: We examine the effect that the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor has on the large-scale expansion of space. This is done within the context of a class of cosmological models that contain regularly arranged discrete masses, rather than a continuous perfect fluid. The natural set of geodesic curves that one should use to consider the cosmological expansion of these models requires the existence of a non-zero magnetic part of the Weyl tensor. We include this object in the evolution equations of these models by performing a Taylor series expansion about a hypersurface where it initially vanishes. At the same cosmological time, measured as a fraction of the age of the universe, we find that the influence of the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor increases as the number of masses in the universe is increased. We also find that the influence of the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor increases with time, relative to the leading-order electric part, so that its contribution to the scale of the universe can reach values of ~1%, before the Taylor series approximation starts to break down.

Year: 2015

description: Increasingly economic development is becoming a localized phenomenon and with it there is a shift in the locus of responsibility for economic development from national to locallevels. Thus, local governments should have adequate capacity and capacity building has been deployed as means to accelerate economic development, reduce poverty, and improves service delivery. Along with this theoretical framework; the theories, principles, and practices of Public Sector capacity Buildings underpin the study. The objective of the study was to assess the current practices of capacity building conducted by Bole Sub City in light of the theories and principle of Capacity Building. In order to achieve the stated objective,six factors/indicatorswere used. These were capacity need assessment, Leadership and Management, level of Capacity Building, Availability of resource, Stakeholder Participation, and M & E. Primary data were collected through questionnaires, interview, and focus group discussion; whereas secondary data were collected through document review. The statistical method used to analyze the quantitative data was percentage. The major findings of the study were capacity need assessment was conducting prior to capacity building,citizens were involved in capacity gap identification, and evaluationof capacity building was conducted. In addition, the leadership and management were supportive and committed. The findings also indicated some problems, for instance non state actors were not involved in capacity need assessment, capacity building was not conducted at three levels in an integrated manner to address the human, organizational and institutional changes needed for improved capacity, capacity building interventions mainly focused on individual training, and therewas shortage of budget to carry out training & staff development. Generally, the findings indicated that the office has made encouraging progress in practicing some of the factors/indicators of capacity building; however, many works need to be done to translate the theory of capacity building into practice. Examining capacity building from the broader environment, involving non-state actors, adopting integrated and holistic capacity building frameworks, among others, need immediate actions by the sub city. Therefore, conducting capacity need assessment at the institutional level, involving non state actors, enhancingthe technical capacities of technical experts, employee, integrating capacity building activities at various levels, deploying sufficient budge for training, designing frameworks for capacity need assessment are recommended

Perspectives on opportunities in experimental soft-matter science
Creators: name: Nagel, Sidney R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Soft materials consist of basic units that are significantly larger than an atom but much smaller than the overall dimensions of the sample. The label "soft condensed matter" emphasizes that the large basic building blocks of these materials produce low elastic moduli that govern a material's ability to withstand deformations. Aside from softness, there are many other properties that are also caused by the large size of the constituent building blocks. Soft matter is dissipative, disordered, far-from-equilibrium, non-linear, thermal and entropic, slow, observable, gravity-affected, patterned, non-local, interfacially elastic and active. This is only a partial list of how matter created from large component particles is distinct from "hard matter" composed of constituents at an atomic scale. Issues inherent in soft matter raise problems that are broadly important in diverse areas of science and require multiple modes of attack. For example, far-from-equilibrium behavior is confronted in biology, chemistry, geophysics, astrophysics and nuclear physics. Similarly, issues dealing with disorder appear broadly throughout many branches of inquiry wherever rugged landscapes are invoked. This article reviews the discussions that occurred during a workshop held on January 30-31, 2016 in which opportunities in soft-matter experiment were surveyed. Soft matter has had an exciting history of discovery and continues to be a fertile ground for future research.
