Hermaeophaga mercurialis

description: Hermaeophaga mercurialis (Fabricius, 1792)
Material: On the territory of the former East Prussia it was reported from Warnicken [Lesnoe] and Isterburg [Chernyakhovsk] (Bercio & Folwaczny 1979). At present the species repeatedly occurs on the margins of the deciduous forest (Quercetum) in the central part of the Kaliningrad region in environs of the city Chernyakhovsk: 7 km NE of the city, 54°40´1.8´´N 21°53´17.9´´E, 01.V.1998 (2 exx, leg. V.Alekseev) and 13.V.2007 (3 exx, leg. V. Alekseev). This population is in stable state, its density compounds 3-5 imagos per 100 square metres. The population on the Sambian peninsula or in other parts of the Kaliningrad region is unknown till now, although its presence could be expected in adequate habitats.
 Comment: This monophagous beetle is associated with one host plant only - Mercurialis perennis and occurs in the light deciduous parks and forests in May and early June. The species is distributed in Europe, Asia Minor and in the Caucasus. According to the catalogue of Silfverberg (2004) it is mentioned for Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania and Sweden. The species is known also from Belarus (Lopatin, Nesterova 2005) and Latvia (Bukejs 2008a).

description: Angesichts der Corona-Pandemie reagierten die Staaten auf sehr unterschiedliche Weise. In Frankreich wird die politische und rechtliche Bewältigung der Krise in den letzten Monaten zunehmend als autoritär angesehen.
In diesem Vortrag wird die These aufgestellt, dass die Pandemie keine neuen Defizite schuf, sondern die gegenwärtigen Defizite der französischen Demokratie verstärkte: die Hyperpräsidentschaft des Regimes und die Auslöschung des Parlaments. Die Verwaltungsgerichte wurden mit einer hohen Anzahl an Rechtsbehelfen befasst, was das Misstrauen der Bürger gegenüber den Machthabern reflektiert. Eine Analyse der Rechtsprechung zeigt, dass Richter näher an der Position der Verwaltung bleiben als an der der Bürger und dem Schutz ihrer Rechte. Schließlich wirft die zeitliche Verlängerung restriktiver, bürokratischer und manchmal inkonsistenter Maßnahmen die Frage nach der gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz dieser Maßnahmen auf.

description: This paper argues that automatic phonetic comparison will only return true results if the languages in question have similar and comparably lenient phonologies. In the situation where their phonologies are incompatible and / or restrictive, linguistic knowledge of both of them is necessary to obtain results matching human perception. Whilst the case is mainly exemplified by Levenshtein distance and Russian loanwords in Dolgan, the conclusion is also applicable to the approach as a whole.

description: Laptops have been around since the 1980s, but the revolution in smaller handheld computing devices has given organisations many opportunities to develop and expand their enterprise information systems while posing a number of new challenges to designers and users. The use of handheld devices removes many of the traditional constraints associated with using corporate information systems through stationary computers. However, this newfound freedom may lead to major and unexpected changes in human behaviour and social interaction amongst handheld users and their clients. This paper reports on some implementation experience in the use of handheld computing devices in a major Australian healthcare provider. The case study shows that the social interaction between system users and between system users and their clients may be impacted significantly by the use of handheld devices. The case study further highlights the importance of understanding the social impact of using handheld devices in situations where the service delivered by the organisation depends on a personal relationship between system users and their clients.

Process Optimization for Biodiesel Production from Trichiliaemetica Seed 'Luiya' Oil
Creators: name: Seid, Shumet
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The Energy utilization in the whole world has achieved by using the natural resource like coal, natural gas and petroleum diesel for a long period of time. Continuous using up of those nonrenewable energy sources leads to running down the reserve. In addition to this environmental problems are the main issue in the whole world and this leads to search more attractive and environmentally friend energy source. From this biodiesel is the best one to replace petroleum diesel in order to fulfill our energy needs for a sustainable way. The high cost of edible oil seed has increase biodiesel making price. Due to this searching non-edible oil seed has to minimize biodiesel making cost. The major objective for this study work was the optimization process for making biodiesel from the trichiliaemetica oilseed. For transesterification process trichiliaemetica oil, methanol alcohol and calcium oxide catalyst were used. Extraction of oil was undertaken by using manually operated mechanical compress and 75 ml/kg oil was extract. Experimental results of trichiliaemetica oil properties are moisture content (0.43%), density (910 kg/m 3 ), kinematic viscosity at 40 o C (36.4 cSt), saponification value (183.7mgKOH/g oil) and acid value (4.628 mgKOH/g oil). similarly, the experimental result for characterization of biodiesel from trichiliaemetica oil was listed like: density (887 kg/m 3 ), viscosity at 40 o C (6.11cSt), flashpoint (129 o C), acid value (0.897mgKOH/g oil) and higher heating value (39.8MJ/kg). The physicochemical properties of trichiliaemetica oil and produced biodiesel were matched with the standard values. Moreover, the design expert software was the tool and implemented five level four-factor central composite designs with response surface methodology to optimize the process. Four process parameter was studied with the range: time (1-2hr), catalyst (1-2 weight %), methanol/oil molar ratio (6:1-12:1) and temperature (55-65 o C). The optimum trichiliaemetica oil conversion was achieved at the time (1.5hr), calcium oxide catalyst (1.5 weight %), methanol/oil molar ratio (9:1) and temperature (60 o C). From the analysis of variance result, the experimental percentage of biodiesel yield was 94% and predicted the percentage of biodiesel yield 90.75%. In addition, the result from response surface methodology all parameters except time rendered the high significant influence for biodiesel yield. From the present study, the results show that process optimization from trichiliaemetica oil seed is essential for industrialization and expansion for production of biodiesel.

description: The goal of bank performance evaluation is to guarantee that the resources at their disposal are utilized efficiently. Financial performance analysis is a critical tool for recognizing the bank's weaknesses and strengths across its numerous activities. The CAMELS technique is regarded a supervisory tool to evaluate bank performance based on several aspects, according to the literature review. Regulators use both on-site and offsite monitoring tools to assess a bank's financial stability. The CAMELS rating system encourages transparency, evolution, and change in all financial institutions. Furthermore, this method identifies the structural strengths and weaknesses of financial organizations. This study conducts a comparative analysis of Islamic and conventional banks in Qatar using the CAMELS rating scale from 2015 to 2020. A sample of 14 banks in Qatar was used, four of which were Islamic while the others were conventional. The findings indicate that Islamic banks showcase clear superior performance in Qatar, while outperforming their conventional counterparts in many variables. However, none of the banks in Qatar were able to obtain a rating of 1, indicating there are areas of weaknesses that need to be worked on, particularly in the area of liquidity which was a critical factor for all banks. The Qatar Central Bank should improve monitoring and screening of all Islamic banks in Qatar, according to this study. Furthermore, it is suggested that the Qatar central bank employs the CAMELS system to track operations and field offices for banks functioning to facilitate access to a stable banking sector on a regular basis. CAMELS can be used by banks to track their performance, and then the necessary actions must be undertaken.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study explored whether differences exist between those who prefer using internet-based mental health services (e-preferers) in comparison to those who prefer traditional face-to-face mental health services (non e-preferers). Gender, age, level of education, relationship status, location of residence, country of birth, previous use of mental health services, specific e-mental health service concerns, perceptions of helpfulness and future use of mental health services were investigated. Two-hundred and eighteen Australians (female=165, male=53) with ages ranging from 18 to 80 (M=36.6, SD=14.5) accessed the online survey. Results indicated that although 77.1% of respondents preferred face-to-face services only 9.6% indicated they would not use e-mental health services. No differences were found between e-preferers and non e-preferers on any demographic variable and on previous mental health service usage, however, several differences regarding perceptions of helpfulness and future use of services and concerns about e-mental health services were observed. In addition, several individual difference variables (stigma, locus of control, learning styles and personality traits) were explored and found to differ between the two groups (stigma, locus of control and personality traits). These results may help inform the future direction of mental health services, including the need to increase public awareness regarding e-mental health services.

description: This conceptual paper presents a view of tourism as a form of personal freedom, which returns a holistic perception of the world to a person and the possibility of more complete self-realization, and the tourism sector as a form of global communications necessary to overcome the systemic crisis of civilization associated with the violation of external and internal relations in the system “society – nature of the Earth”, which for 2.5 million years has been developing as a “world without borders”. As an evidence of the continuous spatial development of the planet, prehistoric heritage objects of navigation purpose (navigation – movement and orientation in space-time) are considered, the instrumental capabilities of which are revealed on the basis of paleo-astronomical and paleo-geographical research methods, as well as geo-system approach, traditionally used in geography for the analysis of territorial systems. In the article we proposed reconstruction of navigation technologies and the most ancient symbols of culture, conceptual models of the evolution of human biological and social nature show the astronomical nature of signs and abstract thinking, which allows us to consider modern navigation and communication technologies (including the development of tourism) as manifestations of the self-regulation of global socio-natural a system that provides sustainability based on maintaining flow and diversity. Navigation methods allow us to replenish the resources of the tourism sector, as well as to increase the level of social adaptation (tolerance) based on a rational interpretation of cultural objects, providing for the selection of a global invariant, regional variations and unique orientation conditions at each point of geographical space-time. The navigation concept of information modeling of the world provides an understanding of the harmonious development of human as part of the universe, contributes to solving theoretical problems of modern science (refining evolution models; determining the primary purpose of prehistoric cultural heritage objects; reconstructing the semantics of signs and the genesis of sign systems) and can be the methodological basis of interdisciplinary research in the geography of culture.

description: The primary goal of the present research was to explore the relationship between adult attachment styles and four different types of identification with social groups. The results confirmed predictions and revealed that particular prototypic attachment styles are associated with an increase in only certain types of ingroup identification. People with secure attachment style had higher social identification than people with a dismissive-avoidant attachment style. Participants with secure attachment style showed higher communal identification than participants who had either a dismissive-avoidant or a fearful-avoidant attachment style. These findings supported the idea that relationship attachment style has an important effect on the way people identify with their social groups and can serve as a predictor of preferred type of ingroup identity.
Modeling Simulating and Quantification of Optical Images at Ultrasound Contrast Bubbles
Creators: name: Abraham, Habtamu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Microbubble based ultrasound contrast agents are being used in clinical settings to Enhance backscattered ultrasound signal from blood pool during perfusion and blood flow Measurements. Often individual bubbles are characterized optically by recording their Vibrations with a fast framing camera and direct quantitative information on their dynamic Behavior can be derived. Nonetheless, when a three-dimensional object, stack of infinitely thin Two-dimensional layers, is imaged through a microscope, the image formed onto the charge Coupled device element consists of contributions from all layers. If a bubble is larger than the Depth of focus, the part of the bubble above the focal plane influences the image formation And therefore the bubble size measured. Thus, this thesis presents a methodology to compute Two-dimensional image formation from three-dimensional objects, hollow spheres and find Under which circumstances the optical image formation leads to a significant deviation in Measurement of the actual size. Two-dimension image formations of the three-dimensional Object was computed by convolving the slices of an artificial object, hollow spheres with the Respective weighted point spread function and summing all convolved slices. Finally, image Processing was applied the optical image formed to quantify the object size and a systematic Error was observed for objects in focus with radius 1:65mm. Also it was concluded that Even though a three-dimensional object is in focus, there is discrepancy of up to 0.66% in size Measurement. In addition, size measurement of an object for the same shift above the focus and Below the focus could differ by up to 3.6%. Moreover, defocusing up to 90% could result up To 64.7 mean percentage error. The results reveal that defocusing above 25% severely deviates Size measurements. This thesis hopes to offer a standard for quantification of optical images of Three-dimensional objects, and in the future actual size of an object could be measured from its Defocused optical images.
Assessment of Water Supply Service Provision Limitations and Its Effects in Case of Masha Town, SNNPR, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Kumlachew, Dakito

description: The study focused on the assessment of water supply service provision limitations and its effects in Masha town of south western Ethiopia. In the town, piped water service unavailability and quality was common issues to water users. On the other hand, topography of Masha town is undulating and equity in water service was under question. The study mainly aimed to assess the existing situation of the service, water sources for domestic activities, perception for the lowquality piped water and evaluating the service based on key physiochemical parameters and pressure. Existing water service were assessed based on site visits checklists, questionnaires and interviews of service providers. Out of total 4586 households in the town sample size of 100 were selected using standard procedures. Water quality sample was tested at different locations in water supply system from source to point of supply using photometer, pocket colorimeter and PH meter apparatuses. Pressure of water service in the town were modeled using Water GEMs which was calibrated by actual measured pressure data. The study indicates that existing estimated demand of water for the town was 1477.31 m /day and designed capacity of existing water supply system was 803.52 m 3 /day (54.39 % of current demand). Existing water production amount was 33% of total production capacity and only 15.56% of total capacity were pumped to central reservoir. The cause for limited service capacity were found to be inefficient institutiona l capacity of service providers that leads to inappropriate operation and maintenance. The socioeconomic analysis result depicted that all of households were dissatisfied with piped water service and its primary common cause were service unavailability (66 %) and degraded water quality (33%). Water quality test result of the town showed that average concentration of Fe, Mn, PH and Free Cl2 were 1.430 mg/l, 0.005mg/l, 7.48 and zero respectively. Iron (Fe) was found far high above recommended value of 0.3 mg/l that makes the piped water to be in a very high-risk category. As the model result showed that pipe water pressure was very low in some areas of the town like center of the town where high vertical development was undergoing. Therefore, water supply service of the town has limitations on water quality, availability and equity in the town due to inefficiency of treatment plant and institutional capacity of service providers. The service states has high risk for piped water users and needs water safety planning, household water level treatment practice, upgrading treatment plants and zonal supply for low pressure areas.

description: A very poor management of healthcare equipment results wastage of valuable limited resources. A well designed and properly implemented Medical equipment management system can help not only managing the financial resources but also improves the quality of life. Different kinds of models are used in many developed countries to reengineer system. Although conceptual model is easy to understand with less accuracy and simulation model is more accurate modeling; neither of them are good to model the strategic implication. The new design is developed based on the concept of input output mechanism engineering model. The thesis evaluated the existing Medical equipment management practices and processes and reengineers the system and come up with a new design to solve the existing problems. In order to properly assign the main inputs in the system design, a preliminary study was implemented in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to assess the main challenges in healthcare providing organizations. In this preliminary study a total 243 number of healthcare providers were selected including hospitals, health centers and health clinics. Healthcare professionals from those major health facilities were interviewed and asked to full a questionnaire on existing healthcare technology management. The data collected from the facilities indicates there is a poor performance in provision (did not have system to forecast equipment demand based on available budget that was 67.8% of hospitals and 61.1% of health centers), acquisition (68.8% of hospitals, 77.8% of health centers and clinics, 63.6%were found out to be without guideline for procurement), utilization (75.0% of hospitals and 50.0% of health centers in Addis Ababa, are not properly installed), donation (83.3% of them reported that they do not have system to track the donation) and decommissioning (56.2% of hospitals, 66.7% of health centers and 56.9% of clinics reported that they have a problem in decontaminating devices before use and after removal) of medical equipment. The results offered the opportunity to appraise a reengineering the system design of the overall healthcare technology system and design a system to reduce the problem that exists to show improvement for increased efficiency and more effective utilization of available resources. An input output model, the provider regulator purchaser model is used to construct the detail design of the healthcare technology system. MIS and desktop software application is developed for the new designed system. The challenges encountered in this thesis included limited number of samples, difficulty to collect questionnaires and testing the system in the real world. As the thesis includes designs from the strategic planning until decommissioning, it can be used as a blue print from where health facilities, regulatory authorities, purchasing entities can implement.

description: Over the ~ 5 years of its full operations, the SDSS rapidly broke high redshift quasar and brown dwarf discovery barriers by exploiting the advantages of the near-infrared/optical z filter, combined with a high efficiency and large-area imaging array. During this time, dedicated searches by our group and collaborators revealed many new quasars at z ~ 5 − 6 and new L/T brown dwarfs using the i-dropout technique. Both of these samples probed new parameter spaces and signficantly expanded our understanding of the properties and environments of such rare objects. The UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) offers the possibility to continue such interesting discoveries to even higher redshift (quasars) and lower temperatures and masses (brown dwarfs). We discuss the attributes of the survey that makes such rare object discovery possible, and the challenges and techniques required to identify such objects from the sea of candidates in such large datasets.

Application of the Geomorphologic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph Concept for Runoff Prediction in Ungauged Catchments
Creators: name: Zeray, Tsehaye
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2009

description: This study was aimed at development of unit hydrograph by relating the geomorphological characteristics of a catchment with the basic characteristics of the catchment IUH through the concept of Geomorphological Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph (GIUH) to address the problem of predictions in ungauged catchments. Two conceptual unit hydrograph models, ED-GIUH model and the GIUH based Nash model, have been used in the study. The geomorphological characteristics including the Horton's ratios of the catchments were extracted using GIS software called ILWIS. DEM-hydro processing, a new routine developed in ILWIS, was used for the extraction of the geomorphological characteristics. The geomorphological characteristics of a catchment were related with the shape and scale parameters of the Nash IUH to derive the complete shape of the GIUH based Nash model. ED-GIUH was developed from geomorphological characteristics of the catchments and probability density function of travel time of rain fall excess to the catchment outlet. These two models were developed in four catchments in Abay basin with range of areas (185-670km2). The velocity parameter of the two models was calibrated using unit hydrograph ordinates developed through rainfall-runoff analysis and the optimum velocity was determined. The performances of the calibrated models were evaluated using error functions, namely, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), percentage error in peak discharge (PEP), and percentage error in time to peak (PETP) and the models were compared together with the observed average unit hydrographs. From the results of the calibration as well as verification of the models it was found that both models were adequately simulate the shape of the unit hydrographs of the catchments. The ED-GIUH was successful in capturing the peak discharge of the hydrographs but the Nash based GIUH model was better in simulating the time to peak as well as the shape of the unit hydrographs. The optimized velocity parameter of ED-GIUH model was related to the geomorphologic characteristics of the catchments. The linear equation, relating the velocity with the slope and longest flow path of the catchments under the study was found to be best fit. A validation test was carried out to check the reliability of the derived equation in an adjacent catchment which was not used in the calibration of the models and a reasonable result was obtained in four rainfall-runoff events. Finally, it is clear that the predictability of the developed velocity equation in the region will be improved if the number catchments included in the calibration of the models were increased. Key words: Geomorphological instantaneous unit hydrograph, ungauged catchments, GIS, Nash model, rainfall-runoff modeling.

description: Although importance of situational influences on consumer behaviour has been recognised for some time, little research has been conducted into their effects on hospitality retailing. Over the past decade the Irish theme pub sector has enjoyed extensive growth, which recent studies attribute to the situational components inherent within the environment. This study identities and evaluates the situational components that influence consumers within Irish theme pubs and gauges impact of each of the dimensions of an established situational model on customer behaviour using gender and age cohorts. A three phase, mixed method research design was used and respondents were selected from six Irish theme pubs in Melbourne. The study found that both physical and social situational components have a significant influence in attracting, serving and satisfying the needs of consumers.

Subjects: Computer Engineering

description: With the deployment of lethal autonomous weapons, there is the requirement that any such platform complies with the precepts of International Humanitarian Law. Humanitarian Algorithms[9: p. 9] ensure that lethal autonomous weapon systems perform military/security operations, within the confines of International Humanitarian Law. Unlike other existing techniques of regulating lethal autonomy this scheme advocates for an approach that enables Machine Learning. Lethal autonomous weapons must be equipped with appropriate fail-safe mechanisms that locks them if they malfunction.
