Year: 2013

description: Il lavoro presenta i principali risultati di una ricerca a carattere teorico-esplorativo, finalizzata a valutare quanto lo strumento dell’International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) sia conosciuto ed utilizzato nei diversi contesti educativi per l’osservazione degli allievi e del loro “funzionamento” in senso dinamico-evolutivo, in interazione con i fattori ambientali, e finalizzato ad una progettazione educativo-didattica significativamente orientata alla prospettiva inclusiva. A tal fine sono stati intervistati gli insegnanti delle scuole di ogni ordine e grado del Lazio iscritti al Master in Didattica e Psicopedagogia per gli alunni con Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento (DSA) presso l’Università degli Studi di Roma Tre. La scelta è coerente con la direttiva MIUR del 2012 dove viene considerato rilevante ai fini della individuazione dei Bisogni Educativi Speciali dell’alunno, ed in particolare degli allievi con DSA, l’apporto, anche sul piano culturale del modello diagnostico ICF-CY che considera la persona nella sua totalità, in una prospettiva bio-psico-sociale.

description: We present the methods and first results of the search for galaxy clusters in the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS). The adopted algorithm and the criterium for selecting the member galaxies are illustrated. Here we report the preliminary results obtained over a small area (7 sq. degrees), and the comparison of our cluster candidates with those found in the RedMapper and SZ Planck catalogues; the analysis to a larger area (148 sq. degrees) is currently in progress. By the KiDS cluster search, we expect to increase the completeness of the clusters catalogue to z = 0.6-0.7 compared to RedMapper.

Childhood Obesity and Early Adolescent Self Concept and Locus of Control: Application of Marginal Structural Modeling
Creators: name: Rawluk, Kaitlin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Pediatric obesity has well established physical co-morbidities but less well established effects on self-esteem. Prior study present mixed results for associations between obesity and self-esteem, lack causal inference tools, and do not control for time-varying confounding of physical activity and prior obesity. The marginal structural model (MSM) may provide less biased estimates of causal effects of time-varying variables. Using the MSM, it is hypothesized that there will be no effect of childhood overweight/obesity on self-esteem related outcomes and that the previous associations are not causal. The data are the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten 1998-1999, followed through 8th grade. MSM weights were constructed through wave-specific propensity weights from incorporating past obesity/physical activity and baseline confounders. The outcomes were Self-Concept, Locus of Control, and their composite scales scores at 8th grade. Average Overweight/obesity, Never, Ever, or Always overweight/obese exposures were regressed on the composite and separate scales. In the MSM results, there were no statistically significant (P<0.05) causal effects of overweight/obesity on Self Concept and/or Locus of Control. Always Overweight/Obese negative effects on composite scores were marginal (P=0.09), but not on separate scales. This study suggest that overweight/obesity does not have causal effects on self-concept/locus of control scores.

Unratified Treaties, Unilateral Declarations and Modus Vivendi: Circumstances to be considered to have Effect on State Parties
Creators: name: Mengesha, Zewdu
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: International law arises from the consent of states and state practice.
The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT, 1969) is an
authoritative international document regarding treaties between and among
states. The VCLT provides rules and guidelines concerning the conclusion,
entry into force, reservations, interpretation, amendments, modification,
invalidity, termination and suspension of the operation of treaties. In order to
have binding effect, a treaty must fulfill the requirements provided under the
VCLT. Some have argued that agreements that do not have a ‗normative‘
character, laying down specific legal obligations rather than simply asserting
political positions, wishes or intentions, are not treaties. However, there is a
fascinating tendency in international law to cite, as authoritative and even
―binding, acts that have not been legally completed, despite the fact that the
formalities of completion are explicit requisites for their legality.
In the decisions of the Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ)
and the International Court of Justice (ICJ), it is possible to observe that unratified agreements, unilateral statements (acts) of states, modus vivendi
and other unperfected treaties are creating legally binding obligations. The
Eastern Greenland and Nuclear Tests cases provide poignant examples.1 So
long as such decisions have their own impact on countries, and it is common
to see that such treaties are used, it is important to study these court decisions.
Nevertheless, concerns emanate from uncertainty over the conditions that
must be fulfilled for unperfected agreements to have binding legal effect in
the eyes of international courts; in other words, the question of when, how,
and why certain unperfected treaties should be treated as binding is an
important issue requiring clarification. In addition, it will provide a
description for legal advisors in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs trying to
predict whether or not such undertakings may create binding legal
obligations.
In fact, international courts do give justifications as to why they base
their decisions on unperfected treaties. Therefore an attempt will be made to
analyze these justifications. The author will look at the affirmative arguments
and the counter-arguments concerning why unperfected treaties should be
treated as binding or not.

Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Despite the legal frameworks as to taxable and exempted employment
income, there are dispute relating to such issues. One such instance relates to
resettlement fund or payment for loss of employment. A dispute appeared
between the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Ministry of Justice (the
applicant), on the one hand, and Tekele Garidew et al (respondents), on the
other. The case was first entertained by the Administrative Tribunal of the Federal Civil Service Agency and later on it reached to the Federal Supreme
Court on appeal. Both the Tribunal and the Appellate Court decided that
resettlement fund or payment for loss of employment is not taxable income.
As a result, the case was finally taken to the Cassation Division of the Federal
Supreme Court of Ethiopia which affirmed the decisions of the Tribunal and
the Appellate Court. As we will be shown below, the decision of this
Cassation Division is contrary to the income tax laws and its own analysis
appearing in its judgment.

Some Worrisome Issues Surrounding the Ambit of the Copyright and Neighboring Rights Law of Ethiopia: A Comparative Legal Analysis
Creators: name: Ashagre, Aschalew
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: In 2004, Ethiopia proclaimed the Copyright and Neighboring Rights
Protection Proclamation, which is still operational, to give adequate
safeguards to copyright and neighboring rights in the country. To this
end, the law made several commendable departures as compared to
the provisions of the 1960 Civil Code of Ethiopia (which were meant
to regulate the rights of authors of artistic and literary works). One of
the conspicuous improvements the Copyright Proclamation made is
determining its scope of application (defining the ambit of the law),
since doing so is instrumental for the proper implementation of the
law which in turn helps to furnish proper protection to the rights of
authors and owners of neighboring rights recognized under the law.
Nonetheless, a close examination of the of the relevant provisions of
the law under consideration reveals that there are certain critical
problems in relation to its scope of application which may
overshadow the apt enforcement of the law. Hence, this author feels
that it is time to analyze the problems and suggest relevant remedies
that may be utilized by the Ethiopian legislature in the course of
amending the law. This piece is aimed at making a thorough analysis
of the provisions of the Copyright Law germane to the agenda under discussion, and forwarding possible recommendations to the problems
so identified in the course of this research.

Publisher: name: Technology and Regulation
Year: 2023

description: There is a rich literature on the challenges that AI poses to the legal order. But to what extent might such systems also offer part of the solution? China, which has among the least developed rules to regulate conduct by AI systems, is at the forefront of using that same technology in the courtroom. This is a double-edged sword, however, as its use implies a view of law that is instrumental, with parties to proceed- ings treated as means rather than ends. That, in turn, raises fundamental questions about the nature of law and authority: at base, whether law is reducible to code that can optimize the human condition, or if it must remain a site of contestation, of politics, and inextricably linked to institutions that are themselves account- able to a public. For many of the questions raised, the rational answer will be sufficient; but for others, what the answer is may be less important than how and why it was reached, and whom an affected population can hold to account for its consequences. This contribution is follwed by comments by Lyria Bennett Moses and Ugo Pagallo

Regulating the Environmental Impact of Direct Investment in Developing Countries: The Need to Shift from a Command-andControl Mechanism to a Multi-stakeholder Approach
Creators: name: Woldeyohannes, Mekdes Tadele
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Investment promotion occupies a prominent place in the development policies of
developing and least developed countries. Yet it poses challenges to the achievement
of sustainable development by undermining social development and exposing the
environment to degradation. This article discusses the links between investment and
the environment and the dilemma facing developing countries in their efforts to
regulate the environmental impacts of investment more strictly. More specifically, it
explains how countries‟ interest in remaining competitive in attracting investment
affects the integrity of the environment. It also indicates a lack of institutional
capacity to regulate investment, and the existence of a power imbalance between
developing counties and companies (particularly multinationals) as factors
jeopardizing the environment. It highlights the importance of effective policy
measures to reap the benefits of investment and protect the environment at the same
time. Finally, the article argues that countries need to introduce environmental
regulatory systems that give room for different actors—governments, NGOs, the
community, and business enterprises—to work together to control the environmental
impacts of investment, presenting an alternative to the conventional command-andcontrol approach. It elaborates how stakeholders‟ involvement, and specifically that
of companies, is vital to ease developing countries‟ anxiety about losing the inflow of
 direct investment due to strict environmental regulation.

description: We show that maximally helical hypermagnetic fields produced during pseudoscalar inflation can generate the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe via the B+L anomaly in the Standard Model. We find that most of the parameter space of pseudoscalar inflation that explains the cosmological data leads to baryon overproduction, hence the models of natural inflation are severely constrained. We also point out a connection between the baryon number and topology of the relic magnetic fields. Both the magnitude and sign of magnetic helicity can be detected in future diffuse gamma ray data. This will be a smoking gun evidence for a link between inflation and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe.

Joint Venture under the 1960 Commercial Code of Ethiopia: A Comparative Analysis with the UK and German Legal Systems
Creators: name: Demeke, Seid
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: The Ethiopian joint venture law is comparable with German and English
laws in respect of confidentiality. In relation to nature, transfer of
shares, liability of partners, and profits and losses distribution policy, the
Ethiopian joint venture law is more related with the English one. Whereas,
with regard to the requirement of written agreement, the Ethiopian law is
more parallel with that of the German silent partnership since in both
countries such requirement is waived by their respective laws. Additionally,
concerning the “who manages” issue, it can be said that at least in terms of
composition and structure, the Ethiopian law is more comparable with the
German silent partnership. This Article comes up with some best experiences
to Ethiopia drawn from the comparative analysis. It urges some prudent
legal framework to be espoused for the proper practice of joint ventures, i.e.
in the way it addresses the ever more pressing needs for joint venture
engagements in Ethiopia. Accordingly, some legal improvements will be
suggested, mainly, on issues of confidentiality, dissolution, and the need for
written agreement.

description: Gestire la classe significa accendere negli alunni la passione e sollecitare in loro la partecipazione e il rispetto alla proposta formativa. La capacità dell’insegnante di suscitare interesse diventa perciò fondamentale in vista dell’apprendimento, che è lo specifico dell’attività scolastica. Ma come è possibile motivare le giovani generazioni che sembrano fragili, instabili, prive di regole e di punti di riferimento, dipendenti dai nuovi media? Ripartendo dagli adulti e in particolare dagli insegnanti. Il saggio riporta i risultati di una ricerca condotta con un campione significativo di insegnanti, provenienti da scuole di ogni ordine e grado, che sono stati sollecitati ad evidenziare i principali cambiamenti riscontrati nella conduzione del lavoro in classe, nell’ultimo ventennio. Sono emersi interessanti elementi di riflessione, certamente non esaustivi, ma che fungono da stimolo nel tentativo di individuare nuove prospettive educative per le nuove generazioni.

Developing a Trauma-Informed Healthcare Training
Creators: name: Halper, Anole
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Sexual violence and other forms of trauma are widespread, with marginalized communities disproportionately affected. Because trauma is linked to poor health outcomes, there is evidence that trauma survivors are over-represented in healthcare settings. However, providers are not routinely trained on how to serve survivors; as a result, survivors report retraumatizing healthcare experiences. To address this cause of health disparities, the author collaborated with the Orange County Rape Crisis Center to design a trauma-informed healthcare training for providers. This paper documents the training development process, which was guided by a survivor consultant board, and drew upon a literature review, a survey of local providers, and key informant interviews. The deliverables-a pre/post-test, case studies, and the training itself-are also included.

The Woods-Saxon potential has fixed geometry and was applied as a bare potential in the analysis of experimental data of several systems. A new analytical formula for the position and height of the Coulomb barrier is presented, which reproduces the results obtained using double folding potentials. This simple formula has been applied to estimate the fusion cross section above the Coulomb barrier. A comparison with experimental data is presented.
Dual Constitutions and Concurrence of Constitutional Powers in Ethiopia: Who Has the Mandate to Determine Particulars by Law?
Creators: name: Afesha, Nigussie
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Federations vary in the crafting of their constitutions. These variations
range from those federations whose constitutional distribution of power is
too comprehensive, including details normally articulated in ordinary
legislation, to those federations whose constitutions endeavor to demonstrate
the major tasks of government in a holistic manner. In those federations
which follow the latter trend, only the major issues are stated in their
constitutions. The Ethiopian practice resembles the second model. After
incorporating major issues explicitly, the FDRE Constitution leaves the
details to be determined by ordinary legislation. The same arrangement is
observed in regional states‟ constitutions. The issue therefore is who has the
mandate to determine the details through legislation: the federal or regional
governments? This article explores how the Constitution provides in what
manner the particulars shall be determined by law and attempt to indicate
who has the mandate to do that.

description: The depletion interaction mediated by non-adsorbing polymers promotes condensation and assembly of repulsive colloidal particles into diverse higher-order structures and materials. One example, with particularly rich emergent behaviors, is the formation of two-dimensional colloidal membranes from a suspension of filamentous $\it{fd}$ viruses, which act as rods with effective repulsive interactions, and dextran, which acts as a condensing, depletion-inducing agent. Colloidal membranes exhibit chiral twist even when the constituent virus mixture lacks macroscopic chirality, change from a circular shape to a striking starfish shape upon changing the chirality of constituent rods, and partially coalesce via domain walls through which the viruses twist by $180^\circ$. We formulate an entropically-motivated theory that can quantitatively explain these experimental structures and measurements, both previously published and newly performed, over a wide range of experimental conditions. Our results elucidate how entropy alone, manifested through the viruses as Frank elastic energy and through the depletants as an effective surface tension, drives the formation and behavior of these diverse structures. Our generalizable principles propose the existence of analogous effects in molecular membranes and can be exploited in the design of reconfigurable colloidal structures.

Balancing the equation : the joint effects of acquiring and target CEOs’ hubris on acquisition outcomes
Creators: name: Oladimeji, Temitope Stephen
Publisher: name: The University of Texas at Austin
Year: 2023
Subjects: CEOs
Hubris
Overconfidence
Acquisitions

Acquisition deal completion
Acquisition premium
CEO departure
Shareholder return

description: Scholars have consistently identified CEO hubris as a significant factor in acquisitions because they influence deal likelihood and shareholder returns, for example. However, little attention has been devoted to target-CEO hubris as researchers have focused predominantly on acquiring CEOs. Research shows that target CEOs play important roles in acquisition outcomes. Given this, a more complete understanding of the role of executive hubris in acquisitions requires considering both acquiring and target sides. To address this, this dissertation investigates the joint effects of acquiring and target CEOs’ hubris in acquisitions. Using a sample of 422 acquisition deals between US-based public firms from 2010 to 2020, I find that, contrary to received wisdom, acquirer-CEO hubris has a positive association with acquisition deal completion only when target-CEO hubris is low. When target-CEO hubris is high, the relationship between acquirer-CEO hubris and acquisition deal completion becomes negative. Moreover, I find that, in acquisitions in which a target CEO remains, acquirer-CEO hubris is less likely to have a negative association with shareholder returns when target-CEO hubris is high. These findings have important implications for research on hubris and acquisitions and related areas. I discuss these and offer suggestions for new theoretical and empirical directions.

Captive Audience Scenarios in Ethiopia: Some Observations
Creators: name: Wakene, Wondwossen Frew
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Captive audience situations are conditions in which someone is exposed to
speech that he does not want to listen to and speech that is contrary to his
foundational beliefs. Captive auditory scenarios are pervasive; we encounter
these in our daily routines. We find these situations in workplaces, taxis and
buses, cafés, and on cell phones and TVs, to mention a few. Keeping aside
their pervasiveness in our daily lives, captive audience situations entangle
our basic freedoms like freedom of expression and freedom of religion and
beliefs. Captive audience speeches have their own protagonists and
detractors. While some argue that they are expressions and so demand basic
protection, others hold that foundations of freedom of expression do not
support them at all.This article depicts the concept of captive audience,
analyzes the Ethiopian experience at the backdrop of comparative experience
and concludes that captive audience situations are in the making in Ethiopia
and the laws are not as such full-fledged enough to protect individuals. It then
concludes that captive audience situations need to be clearly addressed on the
face of religious extremism and intrusive and irresponsible expressions
encountered on a daily basis.

description: We fabricate back-gated field effect transistors using Niobium electrodes on mechanically exfoliated monolayer graphene and perform electrical characterization in the pressure range from atmospheric down to 10-4 mbar. We study the effect of room temperature vacuum degassing and report asymmetric transfer characteristics with a resistance plateau in the n-branch. We show that weakly chemisorbed Nb acts as p-dopant on graphene and explain the transistor characteristics by Nb/graphene interaction with unpinned Fermi level at the interface.

The Influence of Men's Social Networks and Social Norms on Family Planning in Benin
Creators: name: LeMasters, Katherine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Objectives: This analysis aims to assess men’s social networks and norms surrounding family planning (FP) and the relation of these factors to couple’s FP intentions.Methods: We examined pre- and post-intervention surveys completed by men in the Tékponon Jikuagou intervention, which worked to engage women and men in FP discussions by catalyzing diffusion of new ideas through women’s and men’s networks.Results: Most men had few network members, talked with few members about FP, and did not discuss FP with their partner(s), yet most believed it was acceptable to discuss FP. Among social factors, FP communication with network contacts had the most significant relationship with FP intentions.Discussion/Conclusion: These findings indicate both a need and opportunity for increased FP related dialogue in these communities.
The Role of International Human Rights Law in Improving the Law of Internal Armed Conflict
Creators: name: Demeke, Seid Mekonnen
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Sometimes international humanitarian law (IHL) seems incompatible, if not
contrary to internal war because rules designed for international conflict may
not be applied straightforwardly to internal armed conflicts. To rectify this
legal problem, international and regional tribunals have recently decided
various cases concerning internal conflicts by applying international human
rights law (IHRL). This implies that we should reconsider the role of human
rights in improving the law of internal armed conflict. In some regions,
including much of Europe, routine compliance with IHRL has been achieved.
Parallel to this global trend, commentators such as the International
Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) are strongly advocating that human
rights law have a role in filling gaps in the law concerning internal armed
conflict.

description: The use of trauma databases for epidemiological study of equestrian activities is well established. However, such databases fail to capture minor injuries or injuries when medical attention is not sought. Additionally, concerns about chronic pain in equestrians have only been explored in small samples. The current study is the first nationwide survey of American equestrians 12 years and older participating in all equestrian disciplines. This study aimed to evaluate the patterns of self-reported acute injuries, behaviours of seeking medical attention for acute injuries, and chronic pain. A convenience sample of 2,573 American equestrians completed an anonymous online survey with questions on acute injury anatomical region, type, and if they sought medical attention. Additional questions identified frequency and location of chronic pain. In total, 2,049 survey responses were complete, with 96% female and representation from all regions of the United States. Participation status (PS) was categorised as professionals (19%), amateurs (43%), and recreational (38%). PS was associated with acute injury and chronic pain frequency. Only 3.9% had never experienced an acute injury from equestrian activity. Of all injuries, foot injuries were most reported (13% of all injuries; 52% of participants) with only 39% seeking medical attention. Professionals had higher odds of experiencing acute injuries in most anatomical regions. 42% indicated they had encountered a concussion; of those, 71% sought medical assistance due to a suspected concussion. Chronic back pain frequency was reported at 27.5%. This study is the first to evaluate self-reported injury in a large convenience sample of American equestrians. The current study found a higher rate of lower extremity injuries in equestrians than previously captured in trauma databases. Prior concussion and acute injury increased the odds of individuals experiencing regional chronic pain, suggesting that future studies and interventions should focus on improving preventative and rehabilitative care.

Rethinking media systems: insights from a case study of paid news in India
Creators: name: Jain, Savyasaachi
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: This thesis examines whether and how an enhancement can be effected in the depth and accuracy with which media systems theory meets its proclaimed objective of understanding and describing the behaviour of media systems. It draws upon critiques of the applicability of media systems theory to non-Western media systems to ask whether the grounded study of media systems reveals additional variables or approaches to enhance its descriptive and explanatory power. It answers these questions by conducting an exploratory case study of the complex and relatively unmapped Indian media system, focusing on the system-wide phenomenon of paid news, of which the most egregious form is political advertising masquerading as news at election time. The case study draws upon a thematic analysis of rich empirical data from 47 in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted with top journalists, editors, owners, policy makers and heads of regulatory bodies, triangulated against a large variety of documents and statistical data. The study constructs a map of the Indian media system to establish its commercial, organisational and regulatory contours, and produces an analysis of the forces and relationships that define the systemic behaviour that is manifest as paid news. Its theoretical contribution includes the suggestion of candidate variables and approaches to supplement existing macro-level factors used by models and typologies of media systems theory. It also sets out seven theoretical propositions: 1) The wider applicability of media systems theory is hampered by the adoption of Western media as a pivotal reference point; 2) Normative beliefs and macro-level structures are inadequate descriptors of media systems; 3) Dimensions other than politics and economics can be critical to defining media systems; 4) Variables that account for forces and relationships within the media are important in characterising media systems; 5) Media systems are not passively shaped by political, economic and other structures; they have agency and can act independently; 6) Grounded case studies can yield variables and approaches that help characterise media systems; and 7) System-wide ethical or normative fault-lines such as paid news can reveal critical characteristics of a media system.
The Right of Silence and Privilege against Self-Incrimination in Criminal Proceedings: An Appraisal of the Ethiopian Legal Framework
Creators: name: Gebre, Wendmagegn Fantaye
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Individuals can, theoretically, lead their lives without ever having to
declare any kind of information or testimony to any other person or
institution. However, there are a number of occasions whereby they may
be lawfully required to provide information or testimony to a state. One
such situation is during a criminal proceeding. In view of that, anyone
suspected or accused of crime may be confronted with state authorities
and thus may be questioned as to an alleged crime. Yet, persons
suspected or accused of an alleged crime are entitled to certain minimum
basic guarantees during criminal proceedings. Two such guarantees are
the right of silence and the privilege against self-incrimination. The
precise reach of the right to silence and the privilege against selfincrimination in criminal proceedings is both unclear and thorny. This
article examines what they mean according to international standards. It
primarily appraises the Ethiopian legal framework relating to such rights
in light of the experiences of different countries of various legal
traditions and some major international and regional human rights
instruments.

description: We study the variational structure of the discrete Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (dKP) equation by means of its pluri-Lagrangian formulation. We consider the dKP equation and its variational formulation on the cubic lattice ${\mathbb Z}^{N}$ as well as on the root lattice $Q(A_{N})$. We prove that, on a lattice of dimension at least four, the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations are equivalent to the dKP equation.

Application of the Duty not to Cause Significant Harm in the context of the Nile River Basin
Creators: name: Mengesha, Zewdu
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: The duty not to cause significant harm is an obligation of customary
international law relating to utilization of international watercourses. This
duty requires a state sharing freshwater resources to refrain from causing
significant harm to other states through its use of a shared international
watercourse. It also requires consideration of all relevant factors that are
essential for its effective implementation in any given international
watercourse. In relation to this duty, the Nile Basin States adopted the Nile
Basin Cooperative Framework Agreement to regulate the use, development,
protection, conservation and management of the Nile River Basin and its
resources. However, the Nile River Basin Cooperative Framework Agreement
did not set out detailed guidelines on how the Nile River Basin Commission
should promote and facilitate the implementation of the principles enshrined
under this Framework convention, which includes the duty not to cause
significant harm. This entails drawbacks for the application of the principle
in the Nile Basin. Thus, this Article examines how the duty not to cause
significant harm should be applied in the Nile Basin.

Parents’ Expectations from Pediatric Care
Creators: name: Gulati, Ved
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Objective: The purpose of this literature review is to describe published reports about parents’ expectations and satisfaction in relation to pediatric care. Methods: MeSH search terms were employed to find studies conducted in the US between 2005 - 2011. PubMed and Research Scholar were the resources used. Results: Four of the nine articles investigated well-child care and two of the nine articles investigated provider’s communication in inpatient pediatric care. Each publication reports about a unique feature of pediatric care. Parents favor electronic medical record systems (EMS), physician professionalism, and want providers to offer explanations about events which they perceived to be medical errors in their child’s care. Parents want reassurance and to discuss their priorities in well-child visits. Parents perceive group well-child positively. They prefer taking their child to a regular clinician to develop a patient-provider relationship and to receive anticipatory guidance. Parents find greater satisfaction when allowed to be present during emergency procedures. Also, age-appropriate immunization of young children is associated with high parental satisfaction with early pediatric care. Besides nurses’ and physicians’ behavior, communication with physicians and waiting times are important considerations for parents during inpatient pediatric care. Conclusion: Understanding parents’ expectations and satisfaction with pediatric care is essential for developing effective pediatric programs, specific interventions, and training curricula. Understanding family expectations is central to the provision of patient-centered care.
