Causes and Consequences of Medical Staff Turnover the Case of Menelik II Referral Hospital: in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Tsehayu, Shimelis
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: The high turnover of staff is unhealthy for the smooth running of institutions since it affects the growth, profitability and customer satisfaction whenever it occurs in the workplace. This research is aimed at assessing the causes and consequences of medical staffs turnover in Addis Ababa city hospitals with particular reference to Menelik II Referral Hospital considering personal, pull and push factors as causes of turnover and separation and hiring costs, team cohesion, patient satisfaction, quality of services, productivity and workload and burnout as consequences of turnover. Respondents were only medical staffs (existing and those quitted their job) and supporters of medical staffs. The staff was categorized into three strata, namely medical staffs on the job; medical staffs quit their job and vital non- medical staffs (coordinators, senior officers and support staff) who have a direct relation with human resources of the hospital. Thus, stratified random sampling method was employed and 210 respondents were selected from 235 staffs. The response rate was 89.36%. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed. Interview data generated qualitative data and the survey questionnaire responses generated quantitative data. Thematic analysis was conducted for qualitative data and descriptive summary was used for quantitative data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that personal factors are not the vital causes for turnover and from pull factors, high salary elsewhere, availability of more financial benefits elsewhere, availability of promotional opportunities external to the hospital and higher educational opportunities are the most important causes initiating medical staffs to leave their job. The study also revealed that push factors such as low salary and benefits, lack of motivation and encouragement for good work and absence of recognition for work done and lack of career advancement are causes triggering staff turn-over. The study has also found that turnover increased separation and hiring costs; affected team cohesion, patient satisfaction, quality of services, productivity and workload and burnout of existing staffs. The study concluded with the recommendation that hospital and health sector actors should work to improve work conductions (controlling push and pull as well as personal factors) and reduce turnover. The actors of the health sector require effective strategies that for managing turn-over in hospitals in Addis Ababa. Key words: Causes & consequences of turnover, Menelik II Referral Hospital

description: Employees are the most important factor in the success and failure of any organization. Keeping employees motivated could certainly be a huge challenge to even the most progressive organization today. The effectiveness of the sales force plays a crucial role in the success and growth of an organization. In order to attain the goals of the organization, it is essential that the sales force is highly motivated. Telecommunication industry is a service industry that provides telecommunication service thorough telecommunication system therefore increase the performance of the sales force is one sector of the company to increase the revenue. This study focuses to analyze the effect of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors on the performance of Ethio Telecom Business to Business sales force. Well-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the survey participants from seven sites of Ethio Telecom B2B sales persons. A total of 151 questionnaires were personally distributed for the sales persons and 136 of them completed and returned the questionnaire. The data was entered and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS version 20.0. Descriptive analysis results are summarized in proportion, mean and standard deviation and presented in tables. In inferential statistics, correlation and regression analysis has been computed and the results show that from intrinsic motivational factors recognition and work itself; and from extrinsic motivational factors company policy, safety & security, relationship with supervisor, and compensation are positively and significantly affect B2B sales force performance.

description: Salinity is one of major environmental constraints that adversely affect plant growth and pose a serious threat to crop productivity. One basic concern is related to tissue sensitivity differences to salt stress. It is intriguing that much more research efforts have been directed to shoots/leaves than roots, although roots are the first tissues directly encountering salt stress and acting as its sensor. We focused on the tissue sensitivity differences to salt stress in wheat seedlings by adopting a novel tip bioassay. The tip bioassay employed a set of 5-mL pipette tips filled with vermiculite placed over racks containing NaCl solution. Using this simple device, after determining the time course of growth inhibition under varying concentrations of NaCl, we compared the salt sensitivity in 19 diverse germplasms from five Triticum species after 7 and 14 days of exposure to 200 mmol/L NaCl. Markedly greater reduction in root length than shoot length was observed in all lines. Both the magnitude and relative rate of inhibition were much greater in roots than shoots and significant differences were observed in tissue, line, stress duration and their interactions. Our tip bioassay demonstrated that roots were more sensitive than shoots to the growth-suppressing effect of salt during the early seedling stage in wheat. These results point out the need of further research targeted on the role of and communication between roots and shoots in salt stress sensing and response.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: Research studies on the effects of management of working capital policies on firms' profitability in developing countries, especially in Ethiopia remained an ignored area of empirical research. Thus, this study examined the effect of working capital investment and financing policies on firms' profitability by using audited financial statements of a sample of 11 manufacturing private limited companies in Tigray region, Ethiopia for the period of 2005 to 2009. The study used return on assets, return on equity and operating profit margin as dependent profitability variables. Accounts receivable period, inventory holding period and accounts payable period are used as independent working capital investment policy variables. Moreover, cash conversion cycle and current assets to total assets ratio are used as comprehensive measures of working capital investment policy. On the other hand, current liabilities to total assets ratio is used as measure of working capital financing policy. The two traditional measures, current ratio and quick ratio, are used as liquidity indicators. In addition, the study used firm size as measured by logarithm of sales, firm growth rate as measured by change in annual sales, financial leverage and annual GDP growth rate as control variables. Both correlation analysis and pooled panel data regression models of cross-sectional and time series data were used for analysis. The results show that longer accounts receivable and inventory holding periods are associated with lower profitability. There is also negative relationship between accounts payable period and profitability measures; however, except for operating profit margin this relationship is not statistically significant. The results also show that there exists significant negative relationship between cash conversion cycle and profitability measures of the sampled firms. No significant relationship between current assets to total assets ratio and profitability measures has been observed. On the other hand, findings show that a highly significant positive relationship between current liabilities to total assets ratio and profitability. Finally, negative relationships between liquidity and profitability measures have also been observed. Managers, therefore, can increase firms' profitability by improving the efficiency of management of working capital investment and financing policies while, also keeping in view the trade-off between liquidity and profitability

description: Software quality models provide either abstract quality characteristics or concrete quality measurements; there is no seamless integration of these two aspects. Reasons for this include the complexity of quality and the various quality profiles in different domains which make it difficult to build operationalised quality models. In the project Quamoco, we developed a comprehensive approach for closing this gap. It combined constructive research, which involved quality experts from academia and industry in workshops, sprint work and reviews, with empirical studies. All deliverables within the project were peer-reviewed by two project members from a different area. Most deliverables were developed in two or three iterations and underwent an evaluation. We contribute a comprehensive quality modelling and assessment approach: (1) A meta quality model defines the structure of operationalised quality models. It includes the concept of a product factor, which bridges the gap between concrete measurements and abstract quality aspects, and allows modularisation to create modules for specific domains. (2) A largely technology-independent base quality model reduces the effort and complexity of building quality models for specific domains. For Java and C# systems, we refined it with about 300 concrete product factors and 500 measures. (3) A concrete and comprehensive quality assessment approach makes use of the concepts in the meta-model. (4) An empirical evaluation of the above results using real-world software systems. (5) The extensive, open-source tool support is in a mature state. (6) The model for embedded software systems is a proof-of-concept for domain-specific quality models. We provide a broad basis for the development and application of quality models in industrial practice as well as a basis for further extension, validation and comparison with other approaches in research.

description: Information spreading in complex networks is often modeled as diffusing information with certain probability from nodes that possess it to their neighbors that do not. Information cascades are triggered when the activation of a set of initial nodes (seeds) results in diffusion to large number of nodes. Here, several novel approaches for seed initiation that replace the commonly used activation of all seeds at once with a sequence of initiation stages are introduced. Sequential strategies at later stages avoid seeding highly ranked nodes that are already activated by diffusion active between stages. The gain arises when a saved seed is allocated to a node difficult to reach via diffusion. Sequential seeding and a single stage approach are compared using various seed ranking methods and diffusion parameters on real complex networks. The experimental results indicate that, regardless of the seed ranking method used, sequential seeding strategies deliver better coverage than single stage seeding in about 90% of cases. Longer seeding sequences tend to activate more nodes but they also extend the duration of diffusion. Various variants of sequential seeding resolve the trade-off between the coverage and speed of diffusion differently.

description: The evaluation of climate plasticity and content of free amino acids, sugars and fatty acids in Bulgarian soybean cultivars were used as an innovative approach. The field performance, expression and metabolomic profiles of leaves, green seeds and mature seeds of plants grown from low temperature pre-treated and not-treated seeds were assessed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The data from the morphological indicators, expression profiles and content of metabolites confirmed that the plants grown from low temperature pre-treated seeds had better performance. The expression profiles correlated with the content of amino acids and sugars. Inclusion of extruded full-fat soybean from cvs. Srebrina and Richy in the compound feed for pigs and soybean cake obtained after cold pressed soybeans of cv. Srebrina in compound feed for laying hens were investigated. The results confirmed that extruded full-fat soybean cv. Srebrina could be successfully included in the protein component of feed for growing pigs at a rate of 50% of soybean meal in protein equivalent. Extruded full-fat soybean cv. Richy in the amount of 30% of the protein component of the ration, in protein equivalent of the compound feed for the period of fattening of pigs could be included. The results confirmed that feed for laying hens, in which 50% of imported soybean meal is replaced by soybean cake produced from locally grown soybean, could increase the content of free amino and fatty acids of the final product and benefit the quality of eggs.

description: Given a weighted graph $G$ embedded in a non-orientable surface $Σ$, one can consider the corresponding weighted graph $\widetilde{G}$ embedded in the so-called orientation cover $\widetildeΣ$ of $Σ$. We prove identities relating twisted partition functions of the dimer model on these two graphs. When $Σ$ is the Möbius strip or the Klein bottle, then $\widetildeΣ$ is the cylinder or the torus, respectively, and under some natural assumptions, these identities imply relations between the genuine dimer partition functions $Z(G)$ and $Z(\widetilde{G})$. For example, we show that if $G$ is a locally but not globally bipartite graph embedded in the Möbius strip, then $Z(\widetilde{G})$ is equal to the square of $Z(G)$. This extends results for the square lattice previously obtained by various authors.

description: We present new mid-IR observations of the quadruply lensed quasar Q2237+0305 taken with CanariCam on the Gran Telescopio Canarias. Mid-IR emission by hot dust, unlike the optical and near-IR emission from the accretion disk, is unaffected by the interstellar medium (extinction/scattering) or stellar microlensing. We compare these "true" ratios to the (stellar) microlensed flux ratios observed in the optical/near-IR to constrain the structure of the quasar accretion disk. We find a half-light radius of $R_{1/2}=3.4_{-2.1}^{+5.3}\sqrt{\langle M \rangle/0.3\,\rm{M_{\odot}}}$ light-days at $λ_{rest}=1736$ Å, and an exponent for the temperature profile $R \propto λ^{p}$ of $p=0.79\pm0.55$, where $p=4/3$ for a standard thin-disk model. If we assume that the differences in the mid-IR flux ratios measured over the years are due to microlensing variability, we find a lower limit for the size of the mid-IR-emitting region of $R_{1/2} \gtrsim 200\,\sqrt{\langle M \rangle/0.3\,\rm{M_{\odot}}}$ light-days. We also test for the presence of substructure/satellites by comparing the observed mid-IR flux ratios with those predicted from smooth lens models. We can explain the differences if the surface density fraction in satellites near the lensed images is $α= 0.033_{-0.019}^{+0.046}$ for a singular isothermal ellipsoid plus external shear mass model or $α= 0.013_{-0.008}^{+0.019}$ for a mass model combining ellipsoidal NFW and de Vaucouleurs profiles in an external shear.

The overall objective of this study is to investigate achievements, challenges and potential impacts of Chinese Eastern Industrial Zone and its contribution to the economic development of Ethiopia at large and surrounding community in particular, and thereby to forward suggestion for identified problems and gaps. This study trying to identify the achievements and challenges of EIZ based on different relevant literature review of concepts and experiences of different countries, especially focusing on the area of policy, laws regulations and directions that govern SEZs; especial arrangements of institutions and existence key actors for its proper management and operations; identification of positive and adverse effect of the project on local community and environment; and infrastructures and over all benefit realized by the establishment of the project. The study has been based on primary, and secondary data collection techniques, group discussions, interview, and questionnaires (semi-structured and unstructured) as well as observation research methods in general. Qualitative and quantitative survey instruments applied aimed at examining and describing the current status of the eastern special industrial economic zone. This study identified that, the Chinese based eastern industrial zone found to be a incredible potential source in absorbing labor force attracting potential investor from china and other regions, appears to be as a good benchmark for other zone development of the country. On the other hand it has been working without prior institutional legal policy framework, well-organized institutional arrangement, planned environmental and social impact assessment, lack of linkage with national and local economy among others. This study recommends the need for well-structured institutional legal framework and government close support, collaboration with its strategic business partners, strong linkage and integration with the national and local economy, viable social and environmental plan among others

description: A common approach to study nucleation rates is the estimation of free-energy barriers. This usually requires knowledge about the shape of the forming droplet, a task that becomes notoriously difficult in macromolecular setups starting with a proper definition of the cluster boundary. Here, we demonstrate a shape-free determination of the free energy for temperature-driven cluster formation in particle as well as polymer systems. Combined with rigorous results on equilibrium droplet formation, this allows for a well-defined finite-size scaling analysis of the effective interfacial free energy at fixed density. We first verify the theoretical predictions for the formation of a liquid droplet in a supersaturated particle gas by generalized-ensemble Monte Carlo simulations of a Lennard-Jones system. Going one step further, we then generalize this approach to cluster formation in a dilute polymer solution. Our results suggest an analogy with particle condensation, when the macromolecules are interpreted as extended particles.

description: Neutrinos mix and have mass differences, so decays from one to another must occur. But how fast? The best direct limits on non-radiative decays, based on solar and atmospheric neutrinos, are weak, $τ\gtrsim 10^{-3}$ s ($m$/eV) or much worse. Greatly improved sensitivity, $τ\sim 10^3$ s ($m$/eV), will eventually be obtained using neutrinos from distant astrophysical sources, but large uncertainties --- in neutrino properties, source properties, and detection aspects --- do not allow this yet. However, there is a way forward now. We show that IceCube diffuse neutrino measurements, supplemented by improvements expected in the near term, can increase sensitivity to $τ\sim 10$ s ($m$/eV) for all neutrino mass eigenstates. We provide a roadmap for the necessary analyses and show how to manage the many uncertainties. If limits are set, this would definitively rule out the long-considered possibility that neutrino decay affects solar, atmospheric, or terrestrial neutrino experiments.

description: It was pointed out by Shifman and Yung that the critical superstring on $X^{10}={\mathbb R}^4\times Y^6$, where $Y^6$ is the resolved conifold, appears as an effective theory for a U(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs system with four fundamental Higgs scalars defined on $Σ_2\times{\mathbb R}^2$, where $Σ_2$ is a two-dimensional Lorentzian manifold. Their Yang-Mills model supports semilocal vortices on ${\mathbb R}^2\subsetΣ_2\times{\mathbb R}^2$ with a moduli space $X^{10}$. When the moduli of slowly moving thin vortices depend on the coordinates of $Σ_2$, the vortex strings can be identified with critical fundamental strings. We show that similar results can be obtained for the low-energy limit of pure Yang-Mills theory on $Σ_2\times T^2_p$, where $T^2_p$ is a two-dimensional torus with a puncture $p$. The solitonic vortices of Shifman and Yung then get replaced by flat connections. Various ten-dimensional superstring target spaces can be obtained as moduli spaces of flat connections on $T^2_p$, depending on the choice of the gauge group. The full Green-Schwarz sigma model requires extending the gauge group to a supergroup and augmenting the action with a topological term.

description: Near a quantum-critical point in a metal strong fermion-fermion interaction mediated by a soft collective boson gives rise to incoherent, non-Fermi liquid behavior. It also often gives rise to superconductivity which masks the non-Fermi liquid behavior. We analyze the interplay between superconductivity and fermionic incoherence for a set of quantum-critical models with effective dynamical interaction between low-energy fermions. We argue that superconductivity always develops above a quantum-critical point, no matter how strong the fermionic self-energy is. We argue that superconductivity should not be viewed as a pairing of incoherent fermions, as previously thought. Rather, $T_c$ is non-zero due to the fact that the self-energy is suppressed at the two lowest fermionic Matsubara frequencies $ω_m = \pm πT$. We obtain the analytic formula for $T_c$ which reproduces well numerical results for the electron-phonon model at vanishing Debye frequency.

description: Existing attribute-value extraction (AVE) models require large quantities of labeled data for training. However, new products with new attribute-value pairs enter the market every day in real-world e-Commerce. Thus, we formulate AVE in multi-label few-shot learning (FSL), aiming to extract unseen attribute value pairs based on a small number of training examples. We propose a Knowledge-Enhanced Attentive Framework (KEAF) based on prototypical networks, leveraging the generated label description and category information to learn more discriminative prototypes. Besides, KEAF integrates with hybrid attention to reduce noise and capture more informative semantics for each class by calculating the label-relevant and query-related weights. To achieve multi-label inference, KEAF further learns a dynamic threshold by integrating the semantic information from both the support set and the query set. Extensive experiments with ablation studies conducted on two datasets demonstrate that KEAF outperforms other SOTA models for information extraction in FSL.

description: Quark-gluon plasma produced at the early stage of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is unstable, if weakly coupled, due to the anisotropy of its momentum distribution. Chromomagnetic fields are spontaneously generated and can reach magnitudes much exceeding typical values of the fields in equilibrated plasma. We consider a high energy test parton traversing an unstable plasma that is populated with strong fields. We study the momentum broadening parameter $\hat q$ which determines the radiative energy loss of the test parton. We develop a formalism which gives $\hat q$ as the solution of an initial value problem, and we focus on extremely oblate plasmas which are physically relevant for relativistic heavy ion collisions. The parameter $\hat q$ is found to be strongly dependent on time. For short times it is of the order of the equilibrium value, but at later times $\hat q$ grows exponentially due to the interaction of the test parton with unstable modes and becomes much bigger than the value in equilibrium. The momentum broadening is also strongly directionally dependent and is largest when the test parton velocity is transverse to the beam axis. Consequences of our findings for the phenomenology of jet quenching in relativistic heavy ion collisions are briefly discussed.
