Perception of Selected Stakeholders on the Role of NGOs in Local Development: the Case Study of Kirkos Sub-City in Addis Ababa.
Creators: name: Wegari, Tesfaye
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Non-governmental organizations are one of the development actors. In developing countries like ours, where poverty affected the lives of many people, their contribution is tremendous. The collaboration and networking of actors and common understanding on legal and policy issues between NGO's/CSO's and the government are not yet developed. Therefore, the general objective of this study is to assess the perception of selected stakeholders on the role of NGOs in local development in kirkos sub-city of Addis Ababa. In order to achieve the objective, the research method employed was descriptive case study. Through the use of primary and secondary data sources the researcher has gathered the necessary information. The survey questionnaire was used to gather the relevant quantitative data. The qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews, key informants and personal observations. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive method of analysis. Several researches were done on NGOs contribution to the local development in Addis Ababa, but this research focuses on NGOs contribution in Kirkos sub city, and since the findings on NGOs contribution shows mixed result the topic still demands further research. The major findings are that the contribution of NGOs in Kirkos sub-city in the areas of women economic empowerment, health, education and child development is remarkable but based on the governments urban poverty reduction and development plan there is less or no intervention in areas of environmental intervention, microfinance, and local institutions capacity building. Due to lack of baseline survey and research NGOs/Charities are working in similar and limited areas. Income generation and local resource mobilization are not implemented adequately. There are some efforts with regard to NGOs collaboration among themselves and net-working but it is not satisfactorily implemented. There are misunderstandings on legal and policy issues between the NGOs and the government

description: We review the geometric features of negative conditional entropy and the properties of the conditional amplitude operator proposed by Cerf and Adami for two qubit states in comparison with entanglement and nonlocality of the states. We identify the region of negative conditional entropy in the tetrahedron of locally maximally mixed two-qubit states. Within this set of states, negative conditional entropy implies nonlocality and entanglement, but not vice versa, and we show that the Cerf-Adami conditional amplitude operator provides an entanglement witness equivalent to the Peres-Horodecki criterion. Outside of the tetrahedron this equivalence is generally not true.

description: In this paper we show that the frequencies of propagating electromagnetic wave (photon) in rotating dielectric medium obey Landau quantization. We show that the degeneracy of right and left helicities of photons is broken on the lowest Landau level. In homogeneous space this level is shown to be helical, i.e. left and right helical photons counter-propagate. This leads to helical vortical effect for photons.

The Practice, Challenges, and Prospects of e-Government: the Case of Ethiopian Revenue and Customs Authority (ERCA) Large Taxpayers Office (LTO)
Creators: name: Eshetu, Samuel
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: The economic imperative of ICT on public agencies is becoming paramount. Accordingly, ERCA has been automating its tax assessment and collection systems, which it claims assist to achieve increase in its tax revenue. This increase, however, is reported to be low compared to the tax base of the economy. Other studies have also revealed high administrative burden for paying taxes and noncompliance to tax laws that result for the country to lose millions of income from tax revenue. The study aimed to examine how well e-Government is recognized and comprehensively rolled out as a strategic tool to solve such drawbacks on existing tax administration systems at ERCA LTO. ERCA has been investing to reform its tax administration system. However, the changes made are not harmonized with the national e-Government plan, focusing only to reach around 1,000 large tax payers (than its potential capacity to expand the tax base), not striving towards bringing holistic e- Government, and is mostly piecemeal. The overall level of satisfaction of large taxpayers on ERCA's website as a primary source of one-stop-shopping portal is also found to be only 52%. In terms of the stage of e-Government, ERCA is found at its emerging stage where most of its e- Services are informational (static) than transactional. Benchmarking of its e-Services with selected Sub-Saharan African countries has also revealed that a lot has to be done for ERCA to evolve its e- Service to a stage where all its services are integrated in seamless manner; fiscal transparency is enhanced; knowledge management (for example to control tax evasion) is optimized; and e- Payment augments e-Filing. To address these findings, the study recommends a more robust transformational change, than mere automating of existing process, towards the higher stages of e- Government directed by a comprehensive e-Government strategic plan

Diese sowohl im internationalen Vergleich als auch gegenüber früheren Konjunkturabschwüngen außerordentlich günstige Entwicklung ist vor allem Arbeitszeit verkürzenden Maßnahmen zu verdanken. Die Hauptlast tragen Arbeitszeitkonten und tarifliche Korridorregelungen gefolgt von der öffentlich geförderten Kurzarbeit. Außerdem haben zahlreiche Betriebe offensichtlich aus Sorge, bei einem neuerlichen Konjunkturaufschwung unter einem Mangel an Fachkräften zu leiden, Arbeitskräfte gehalten.

Bianchi I cosmology in the presence of a causally regularized viscous fluid

description: We analyze the dynamics of a Bianchi I cosmology in the presence of a viscous fluid, causally regularized according to the Lichnerowicz approach. We show how the effect induced by shear viscosity is still able to produce a matter creation phenomenon, meaning that also in the regularized theory we address, the Universe is emerging from a singularity with a vanishing energy density value. We discuss the structure of the singularity in the isotropic limit, when bulk viscosity is the only retained contribution. We see that, as far as viscosity is not a dominant effect, the dynamics of the isotropic Universe possesses the usual inviscid power-law behavior but in correspondence of aneffective equation of state, depending on the bulk viscosity coefficient. Finally, we show that, in the limit of a strong non-thermodynamical equilibrium of the Universe mimicked by a dominant contribution of the effective viscous pressure, a power-law inflation behavior of the Universe appears, the cosmological horizons are removed and a significant amount of entropy is produced.

description: A light yield of 20.4 $\pm$ 0.8 photoelectrons/keV was achieved with an undoped CsI crystal coupled directly to a photomultiplier tube at 77 Kelvin. This is by far the largest yield in the world achieved with CsI crystals. An energy threshold that is several times lower than the current dark matter experiments utilizing CsI(Tl) crystals may be achievable using this technique. Together with novel CsI crystal purification methods, the technique may be used to improve the sensitivities of dark matter and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering experiments. Also measured were the scintillation light decay constants of the undoped CsI crystal at both room temperature and 77 Kelvin. The results are consistent with those in the literature.

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: A search is performed for Higgs-boson-mediated flavor-changing neutral currents in the decays of top quarks. The search is based on proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Events in which a top quark pair is produced with one top quark decaying into a charm or up quark and a Higgs boson (H), and the other top quark decaying into a bottom quark and a W boson are selected. The Higgs boson in these events is assumed to subsequently decay into either dibosons or difermions. No significant excess is observed above the expected standard model background, and an upper limit at the 95% confidence level is set on the branching fraction B(t to Hc) of 0.40% and B(t to Hu) of 0.55%, where the expected upper limits are 0.43% and 0.40%, respectively. These results correspond to upper limits on the square of the flavor-changing Higgs boson Yukawa couplings |lambda[tc]^H|^2 < 6.9E-3 and |lambda[tu]^H|^2 < 9.8E-3.

description: In unserer Arbeitstätigkeit als Heilpädagoginnen kommt es immer wieder vor, dass wir Eltern nach dem Übertritt ihres Kindes aus der Regel- bzw. Volksschule in eine Heilpädagogische Schule dieseberaten und begleiten. Die Kinder der betroffenen Eltern wurden in einer Regelklasse eingeschult und erst nach dem Auftreten erheblicher Schulschwierigkeiten und einer schulpsychologischen Abklärung einer Heilpädagogischen Institution zugewiesen. Obwohl die Familien unterschiedlich mit diesem Ereignis umgehen, beobachten wir, dass dieser Übertrittsprozess ‚Regelschule – Sonderschule‘ für die meisten Eltern oder Elternteile aus unterschiedlichen Gründen schwierig zu bewältigen oder anzunehmen ist. Die Zusammenarbeit mit den betroffenen Eltern gestaltet sich erfahrungsgemäss sehr anspruchsvoll. Unser Ziel im Rahmen der Masterthese ist, ein besseres Verständnis für die Situation der Eltern zu erlangen, um daraus Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten abzuleiten und die Zusammenarbeit mit den Eltern konstruktiv gestalten zu können. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und Ergebnisse möchten wir allen Interessierten, besonders jenen, die ebenso in diesen schwierigen Prozess des ‘Schulwechsels’ involviert sind, zugänglich machen. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, welche Erfahrungen Mütter im Zusammenhang mit einem ‘Schulwechsel’ ihres Kindes von einer Regelklasse in eine Heilpädagogische Schule gemacht haben und welche Effekte und Folgen dieses Ereignis auf ihr Leben hat. Der Theorieteil umfasst die Themen, die im Zusammenhang mit der Bewältigung von kritischen Lebensereignissen stehen. Die Arbeit ist in den Bereichen der qualitativen Sozialforschung einzuordnen. Die Daten haben wir mittels Leitfadeninterview und Tonaufnahme erhoben. Die Aufbereitung hat durch die wörtliche Transkription stattgefunden. Mit der Methode der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse haben wir die Auswertung der Daten vorgenommen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Mütter sehr unterschiedlich mit dem Ereignis ‘Schulwechsel’ umgehen. Für alle aber war der Umstand, dass ihr Kind eine Sonderschule besuchen muss, aus unterschiedlichen äusseren und personenbezogenen Gründen schwierig anzunehmen.

description: Doxorubicin (DOX) is an excellent antineoplastic agent used for the treatment of hematological and solid malignancies. The aqueous extract of Bombyx mori (BMAE) contains amino acids and some flavonoids with obvious cardioprot ective effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective effect of BMAE against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and its underlying mechanisms on murine model. The metabolic profiling of BMAE was carried out by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS) and the amino acid profiling by HPLC method using fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD). The biochemical parameter like caspase-3, tumor necrosis factor–alpha (TNF—α), interleukin -6 (IL-6), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were studied. Tissue damage was further evaluated by histopathological studies. The metabolic profiling of BMAE exhibited presence of quercetin 7-O-β-D-glucoside, kaempferol7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, coumaric acid glucoside, 2-hydroxy-nonadecanoic acid and 9,12-dihydroxy stearic acid as important constituents. The amino acid profile by HPLC-FLD showed presence of 17 amino acids. The BMAE showed prominent free radical scavenging activity when assessed by the H2O2 and super-oxide method. The results of present investigation showed protection against DOX-induced oxid ative stress (lipid peroxidation), by reverting activities of apoptotic markers (caspase-3 and TNF-α), cardiac markers (CK-MB and LDH activities) as well as pro-inflammatory marker IL-6 followed by oral administration of BMAE. In addition, results of histopathology also supported well the above results. It was observed that BMAE protects DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by virtue of its antioxidants possibly by flavonoids and amino acids.

description: Post stroke hyperglycaemia (PSH) is prevalent in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients and it has been associated with a dismal outcome of death and disability. Insulin has been proven to attenuate glucose effectively in stroke patients, thus many trials over the years had studied the efficacy of intensive treatment aiming at normalization of blood sugar level in order to improve the bleak outcomes of PSH. However, tight glycaemic control failed to be translated into clinical benefits and the outcomes are no different from the conventional approach, despite the costly healthcare expenditure invested. On the contrary, it brings more significant harm than the intended benefit, as 1 in every 9 treated patients had symptomatic hypoglycaemia. Thus, the benefits of tight glucose control, if any, are overshadowed by this potential risk of hypoglycaemia causing permanent neurological injury. Therefore, international practice guidelines recommend for less aggressive treatment to maintain blood glucose level within an appropriate range in AIS patients. However, there are limited details for stroke-specific glycaemic management and this made management of PSH particularly difficult. This review is to discuss and provide suggestions concerning glycaemic control in acute ischaemic stroke; the direction of its future prospective clinical trials and the treatment strategy required based on recent literature.

description: The detection of the events GW150914 and GW151226, both consistent with the merger of a binary black hole system (BBH), opened the era of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy. Besides BBHs, the most promising GW sources are the coalescences of binary systems formed by two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole. These mergers are thought to be connected with short Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs), therefore combined observations of GW and electromagnetic (EM) signals could definitively probe this association. We present a detailed study on the expectations for joint GW and high-energy EM observations of coalescences of binary systems of neutron stars with Advanced Virgo and LIGO and with the \emph{Fermi} gamma-ray telescope. To this scope, we designed a dedicated Montecarlo simulation pipeline for the multimessenger emission and detection by GW and gamma-ray instruments, considering the evolution of the GW detector sensitivities. We show that the expected rate of joint detection is low during the Advanced Virgo and Advanced LIGO 2016-2017 run; however, as the interferometers approach their final design sensitivities, the rate will increase by $\sim$ a factor of ten. Future joint observations will help to constrain the association between short GRBs and binary systems and to solve the puzzle of the progenitors of GWs. Comparison of the joint detection rate with the ones predicted in this paper will help to constrain the geometry of the GRB jet.

description: Beauty baryons are being observed in large numbers in the LHCb detector. The rich kinematic distributions of their multibody decays are therefore becoming accessible and provide us with new opportunities to search for CP violation. We analyse the angular distributions of some three- and four-body decays of spin-$1/2$ baryons using the Jacob-Wick helicity formalism. The asymmetries that provide access to small differences of CP-odd phases between decay amplitudes of identical CP-even phases are notably discussed. The understanding gained on processes featuring specific resonant intermediate states allows us to establish which asymmetries are relevant for what purpose. It is for instance shown that some CP-odd angular asymmetries measured by the LHCb collaboration in the $Λ_b \to Λ\,φ\to p\,π\, K^+ K^-$ decay are expected to vanish identically.

description: In this work, thermal and magnetic properties for an electron with cylindrical confinement in presence of external electric and magnetic fields have been investigated. We found that the corresponding time-independent Schrödinger equation can be separated into the product of the radially symmetric and an axial equation. Moreover, we have obtained a quasi-exact expression for the energy spectrum of the system in terms of the exact solutions for the radial equation and an approximation up to first order for the axial equation. We have calculated the well-known thermal and magnetic properties as the heat capacity, magnetization and the magnetic susceptibility via the canonical partition function. We found that our results for thermal and magnetic properties differ significantly from results previously obtained by others authors (by Gumber et. al.). Moreover, our results are in agreement with the diamagnetic properties of GaAs.

description: Protein Kinase A (PKA) is a well known member of the serine-threonin protein kinase superfamily. PKA, also known as cAMP-dependent protein kinase, is a multi-unit protein kinase that mediates signal transduction of G-protein coupled receptors through its activation upon cAMP binding. The widespread expression of PKA subunit genes, and the myriad of mechanisms by which cAMP is regulated within a cell suggest that PKA signaling is one of extreme importance to cellular function. It is involved in the control of a wide variety of cellular processes from metabolism to ion channel activation, cell growth and differentiation, gene expression and apoptosis. Importantly, since it has been implicated in the initiation and progression of many tumors, PKA has been proposed as a novel biomarker for cancer detection, and as a potential molecular target for cancer therapy. Here, we highlight some features of cAMP/PKA signaling that are relevant to cancer biology and resent an update on targeting PKA in cancer therapy.

description: HIGH-FREQUENCY ULTRASOUNDS FOR THE DECONTAMINATION AND INTENSIVE STABILIZATION OF SEWAGE SLUDGE Sewage treatment plants generate quite a large amount of sludge. Because of increased environmental awareness and stringent environmental standards governing the disposal of sewage sludge, its utilization in agricultural production has been gaining increasing interest and attention in recent years. Although rich in nutrients, organic substance and microelements, in some countries sewage sludge is not accepted as agricultural fertilizer due to the awareness regarding potential health risks derived from the accumulation of heavy metals, organic compounds, and pathogens,. To be used as agricultural fertilizer, secondary sludge must be decontaminated by organic micropollutants and stabilized, aerobically or anaerobically. The use of a unique ultrasonic treatment, at 200 kHz, was studied in order to obtain both decontamination and stabilization of sewage sludge. Sonolysis experiments directly on sludge samples were carried out to degrade the linear alkylbenzene sulphonates (LAS), which is one of the most abundant classes of organic micropollutants in sludge. LAS degradation of about 40% was obtained in less than 1 hour. However, in a complex matrix like sludge, surfactants degradation is affected by different parameters: the specific energy delivered to the samples and the sludge total solids seemed the most important. On the other hand, the effects of the ultrasound irradiation at 200 kHz on sludge floc structure was investigated and compared with the ?classical? sludge pretreatment at 20 kHz. Although the ultrasound treatment at 20 kHz was found to be more effective in sludge disintegration, in terms of solubilization of organic matter and flocs destruction, the treatment with 200 kHz gave also satisfactory and encouraging disintegration result. Afterwards, batch anaerobic digestion tests were performed with 20 and 200 kHz pretreated sludge to evaluate the efficacy of these two types of sludge pretreatment on the anaerobic digestion performances. Also the effect of food/inoculum ratio on the digestion performances was assessed. The treatment at higher frequency permitted to obtain satisfactory anaerobic digestion performances, as regards solubilisation and removal of organic substances and biogas production.

description: Sowohl in der Organisationsforschung, als auch in der Professionsforschung dient Wissen als positives Differenzierungsmerkmal. Doch wie die medizinische Praxis zeigt, gerät professionelles ärztliches Handeln durch verschiedene Umstände immer wieder an Wissensgrenzen. Der Umgang mit Wissen impliziert also immer auch den Umgang mit Nichtwissen. In den meisten soziologischen Ansätzen zum Nichtwissen wird dieses Phänomen auf seine gesellschaftliche Dimension hin erforscht. In den Fokus rückt hier jedoch das individuelle Verhalten im Umgang mit Nichtwissen. Die forschungsleitenden Fragen lauten daher: Wie gehen ärztliche Professionen mit Nichtwissen um und welche Faktoren beeinflussen den Umgang mit Nichtwissen im Krankenhausalltag? Nichtwissen lässt sich dabei in vier verschiedene Dimensionen klassifizieren (bekanntes Nicht-wissen, unbekanntes Nichtwissen, bekanntes Wissen und unbekanntes Wissen), mit denen unterschiedlich umgegangen werden kann. Ziel ist es, für diese unterschiedlichen Facetten des Umgangs mit Nichtwissen Einflussfaktoren auf der Mikroebene, der organisationalen und organisationsübergreifenden Ebene zu lokalisieren. Am Beispiel der medizinischen Profession werden die Einflussfaktoren auf den Umgang mit Nichtwissen auf der Mikroebene zu Annahmen und Hypothesen formuliert. Diese sollen in einer empirischen Untersuchung zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt qualitativ und quantitativ erforscht werden.

description: Ein Rückstand mathematischer Basiskompetenzen zu Beginn der Primarschulzeit kann möglicherweise schwerwiegende Auswirkungen auf das spätere Erlernen von mathematischen Inhalten haben. Dieser Umstand ist Anlass zur Untersuchung folgender Fragestellung: Wie stark verändern sich die Rechenkompetenzen Addieren und Subtrahieren im Zahlenraum bis 100 in Folge einer umfassenden Förderung mathematischer Basiskompetenzen, welches die Förderung von Rechenstrategien ins Zentrum rückt? Drei daraus abgeleitete Hypothesen untersuchen unterschiedliche Zusammenhänge zwischen der Förderung mathematischer Basiskompetenzen und der Steigerung der Rechenkompetenzen Addieren und Subtrahieren. Das Forschungsdesign der Untersuchung basiert auf einem Quasi-Experiment, mit dem Ziel, die Unterschiede in der Entwicklung der Rechenkompetenzen Addieren und Subtrahieren zwischen einer Versuchsgruppe und einer Kontrollgruppe nachzuweisen, indem Effekte eines Förderprogramms als kontrollierte Variable aufgezeigt werden. Ein Vergleich quantitativer Daten vor und nach Durchführung des Quasi-Experimentes dient als Grundlage für die Überprüfung der Effekte durch das Förderprogramm.

description: Customer misbehavior in service settings is problematic for two reasons: (1) because of the direct damage it causes and (2) because of additional negative effects that arise from the contagion of such misbehavior. The authors extend existing theory of customer misbehavior by studying its contagious effect. The investigation focuses on access-based services, defined as transactions in which multiple consumers successively gain temporal, short-term access to a good, while legal ownership remains with the service provider (e.g., car sharing and fashion rentals). Due to the nature of these services, they are especially prone to indirect customer misbehavior, which is directed at the accessed product and occurs in the absence of others. Two online experiments provide the first empirical evidence for a contagiousness of misbehavior and reveal that this effect is driven by customers’ perceptions of the social norms among the customer group. Moreover, they indicate that greater strength of the accessed product’s brand as well as lower anonymity of the accessed product’s owner attenuate contagion. A field experiment shows that an increase in the communal identification among access-based service customers reverses the contagious effect, with customers more likely to remove signs of previous users’ misbehavior. The results suggest that access-based service providers should address customer misbehavior by (a) investing in the products they offer access to, (b) establishing more personal relationships with customers, and, foremost, (c) increasing communal identification among customers.

description: This paper uses the Continued Fraction Expansion (CFE) method for analog realization of fractional order differ-integrator and few special classes of fractional order (FO) controllers viz. Fractional Order Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FOPID) controller, FO[PD] controller and FO lead-lag compensator. Contemporary researchers have given several formulations for rational approximation of fractional order elements. However, approximation of the controllers studied in this paper, due to having fractional power of a rational transfer function, is not available in analog domain; although its digital realization already exists. This motivates us for applying CFE based analog realization technique for complicated FO controller structures to get equivalent rational transfer functions in terms of the controller tuning parameters. The symbolic expressions for rationalized transfer function in terms of the controller tuning parameters are especially important as ready references, without the need of running CFE algorithm every time and also helps in the synthesis of analog circuits for such FO controllers.
