description: We review several aspects of Many-Body Localization-like properties exhibited by the disordered XY chains: localization properties of the energy eigenstates and thermal states, propagation bounds of Lieb-Robinson type, decay of correlation functions, absence of particle transport, bounds on the bipartite entanglement, and bounded entanglement growth under the dynamics. We also prove new results on the absence of energy transport and Fock space localization. All these properties are made accessible to mathematical analysis due to the exact mapping of the XY chain to a system of quasi-free fermions given by the Jordan-Wigner transformation. Motivated by these results we discuss conjectured properties of more general disordered quantum spin and other systems as possible directions for future mathematical research.

description: The objective of this study is to generate a core clinical dataset (CD) containing the minimum acceptable amount of information that should be collected for each patient presenting with triglyceride-induced acute pancreatitis within global treatment centres or sites. The Jandhyala Method, including systematic literature review and SMART interviews, was used to observe expert opinion from ten leaders in the treatment of triglyceride-induced acute pancreatitis (TG-IAP) across the US and EU. Using the PRISMA Literature Review Protocol, data were extracted from 123 of the 6718 identified studies. A total of 243 items were identified from the data extracted from these studies and, combined with the unique items coded from the Awareness Round (1) survey, formed the Consensus Round (2) survey. One hundred and ninety-five of the 243 items (80%) met the consensus threshold and were included for appraisal in the SMART interview phase. A total of 109 items were agreed to form part of the current clinical diagnostic and monitoring procedure by all experts once the weights across all the stakeholder disciplines were balanced to eliminate bias. These items were further condensed to form the core dataset, comprising a total of 87 items. Once validated and adopted, the TG-IAP CD will improve the overall management of patients with TG-IAP by speeding up diagnosis and detecting changes in disease severity and subsequent disease progression, informing personalised patient management plans, and improving patient outcomes.
title:  La centralità dell’educazione per la democrazia in Karl Mannheim

Year: 2023

description: L’articolo si propone di evidenziare, innanzitutto, il contributo del lavoro di Carmelina Chiara Canta teso a valorizzare Karl Mannheim. La ricerca e l’analisi critica si concentra soprattutto sul periodo finale dell’elaborazione del sociologo di origini ungheresi, nella quale si sviluppa la proposta di Terza via (Pianificazione democratica per la libertà) come superamento di una società in crisi che aveva portato alla costituzione di Stati totalitari e allo scontro bellico della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. In secondo luogo, l’articolo evidenzia la centralità del ruolo dell’educazione (tecnica di controllo sociale per Mannheim) per coinvolgere ogni cittadino nella costruzione della democrazia in modo che siano rispettate libertà e uguaglianza. L’obiettivo conclusivo è mostrare l’attualità di alcune delle categorie interpretative del sociologo ungherese.

The article points to highlight, first of all, the contribution of Carmelina Chiara Canta's work aimed at enhancing Karl Mannheim. The research and critical analysis focus above all on the final period of the elaboration of the sociologist of Hungarian origin, in which he develops the proposal of the Third Way (Democratic planning for freedom) as an overcoming of a society in crisis which had led to the establishment of Totalitarian States and the War of World War II. Secondly, the article highlights the centrality of the role of education (social control technique for Mannheim) to involve every citizen in the construction of democracy so that freedom and equality are respected. The goal is to demonstrate the topicality of some of the interpretative categories of the Hungarian sociologist.

The Effect Of Internal Marketing On Service Quality In Selected Ethiopian Pharmaceutical Industries. (The Case Of Addis Pharmaceutical Factory And Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ethiopia Limited Company.)
Creators: name: Etefa, Yosef
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Internal marketing is a way of promoting the company and its products to its employees, (Greene et al., 2003). It aims to reach on to customers through the development and motivating members of the organization that they carry out their tasks to the fullest quality (Al-Hariri, 2006). The goal of internal marketing is to identify and satisfy employees' needs so that employees can be retained and provide quality service to external customers (Berry 1984; Johnson et al. 1986; Kotler and Armstrong 1991). Quality service is a global judgment, or attitude, relating to the superiority of the service Parasuraman & Berry, (1988). Due to the increasing competitiveness among business organizations in recent years, the organizations began to focus on their employees by realizing the importance of investing in workers (Cassunde et al., 2014). The objective of this study is to examine the effect of internal marketing on service quality in selected Ethiopian pharmaceutical industries. The researcher used quantitative research approach and both descriptive and explanatory research design to examine and measure the relationship between internal marketing and service quality in Ethiopian pharmaceutical industries. Sampling technique was purposive sampling which was used to gather quality information from selected professionals those who involve directly in delivering quality service and believed to be key informants. The data was collected by using structured self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using the SPSS to show the relationships between internal marketing and service quality by descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The findings of the study suggested that internal marketing has a direct relationship with service quality as correlational analysis has shown strong positive relationship. Internal consistency reliability test was used to determine relationships among scores derived from individual items within a test. In conclusion, internal marketing positively and significantly influences service quality as the results from all dimensions of internal marketing have shown a direct relationship with service quality. Finally, the study recommended Ethiopian pharmaceutical industries to train, reward, empower and communicate employees for better delivery of quality service and similar studies would also recommended to be conducted by students, academicians and researchers

description: A versatile and reconfigurable ASIC is presented, which implements two different concepts of low level trigger (L0) for Cherenkov telescopes: the Majority trigger (sum of discriminated inputs) and the Sum trigger concept (analogue clipped sum of inputs). Up to 7 input signals can be processed following one or both of the previous trigger concepts. Each differential pair output of the discriminator is also available as a LVDS output. Differential circuitry using local feedback allows the ASIC to achieve high speed (500 MHz) while maintaining good linearity in a 1 Vpp range. Experimental results are presented. A number of prototype camera designs of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) project will use this ASIC.

description: In this paper we discuss the asymptotical properties of quantile processes under random censoring. In contrast to most work in this area we prove weak convergence of an appropriately standardized quantile process under the assumption that the quantile regression model is only linear in the region, where the process is investigated. Additionally, we also discuss properties of the quantile process in sparse regression models including quantile processes obtained from the Lasso and adaptive Lasso. The results are derived by a combination of modern empirical process theory, classical martingale methods and a recent result of Kato (2009).

Coulomb Artifacts and Bottomonium Hyperfine Splitting in Lattice NRQCD

description: We study the role of the lattice artifacts associated with the Coulomb binding effects in the analysis of the heavy quarkonium within lattice NRQCD. We find that a "naive" perturbative matching generates spurious linear Coulomb artifacts, which result in a large systematic error in the lattice predictions for the heavy quarkonium spectrum. This effect is responsible, in particular, for the discrepancy between the recent determinations of the bottomonium hyperfine splitting in the radiatively improved lattice NRQCD [1, 2]. We show that the correct matching procedure which provides full control over discretization errors is based on the asymptotic expansion of the lattice theory about the continuum limit, which gives $M_{Υ(1S)}-M_{η_b(1S)}=52.9\pm 5.5~{\rm MeV}$ [1].

description: For decades, the bright radio quasar 3C 286 has been widely recognized as one of the most reliable polarization calibrators at centimeter wavelengths because of its unchanging polarization position angle and high polarization percentage. However, it has become clear in recent years that the polarization position angle of 3C 286 changes with increasing frequency, increasing from ~33$^{\circ}$ at $λ\gtrsim 3$ cm to ~38$^{\circ}$ at $λ\approx 1$ mm. With the advent of high-sensitivity polarization observations by current and future (sub)millimeter telescopes, knowledge of the position angle of 3C 286 at higher frequencies is critical for calibration. We report the first polarization observations of 3C 286 at submillimeter wavelengths, taken at 880 $μ$m (340 GHz) with the Submillimeter Array. We find a polarization position angle and percentage of $37.4 \pm 1.5^{\circ}$ and $15.7 \pm 0.8$%, respectively, consistent with previous measurements at 1 mm.

Year: 2016

description: The objective of the study is to evaluate the Efficacy of the Corruption Prevention Strategy of the Federal Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission of Ethiopia in curbing corruption in public procurement so as to protect public resource from being looted. To this end, the study evaluates and presents the efficacy of procurement business process evaluation, which is one major activity in the corruption prevention strategy of the FEACC, focusing at public procurement, in curbing corruption in public procurement through the analysis of primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected from respondents and key informants drawn from different public and private institutions; and secondary data from pertinent government offices. The study employs explanations, deductions, percentage, triangulation of data in its analysis and interpretation of the data in its quest for answers for the research questions. The finding of the study shows that the corruption prevention strategy of the FEACC has efficacy in curbing corruption in public procurement despite the fact that the strategy has not yet garnered sufficient state sanction, the most significant instrument, behind its implementation for its furthermost contribution in tackling corruption in the public procurement domain. Also the strategy needs to be owned and mainstreamed in each and every public institution so as to fend of corruption using their in-house capacity in a sustained manner, rules that give lee way to bypass the procurement legal regime need to be reconsidered as they are abused more often than note. Key words: FEACC, corruption, corruption prevention strategy, efficacy, curbing corruption, public procurement, business process evaluation

Group invariance, likelihood ratio tests, and the incidental parameter problem in a high-dimensional linear model

description: This paper considers a linear panel data model with reduced rank regressors and interactive fixed eff ects. The leading example is a factor model where some of the factors are observed, some others not. Invariance considerations yield a maximal invariant statistic whose density does not depend on incidental parameters. It is natural to consider a likelihood ratio test based on the maximal invariant statistic. Its density can be found by using as a prior the unique invariant distribution for the incidental parameters. That invariant distribution is least favorable and leads to minimax optimality properties. Combining the invariant distribution with a prior for the remaining parameters gives a class of admissible tests. A particular choice of distribution yields the spiked covariance model of Johnstone (2001). Numerical simulations suggest that the maximal invariant likelihood ratio test outperforms the standard likelihood ratio test. Tests which are not invariant to data transformations (i) are uniquely represented as randomized tests of the maximal invariant statistic and (ii) do not solve the incidental parameter problem.

description: We study different approaches to describe intervention effects within the framework of integer-valued GARCH (INGARCH) models for time series of counts. Fokianos and Fried (J. Time Ser. Anal. 2010, 31: 210–225) treat a model where an intervention affects the non-observable underlying mean process at the time point of its occurrence and additionally the whole process thereafter via its dynamics. As an alternative, we consider a model where an intervention directly affects the observation at the time point of its occurrence, but not the underlying mean, and then also enters the dynamics of the process. While the former definition describes an internal change, the latter can be understood as an external effect on the observations due to e.g. immigration. For our alternative model we develop conditional likelihood estimation and, based on this, tests and detection procedures for intervention effects. Both models are compared analytically and using simulated and real data examples. We study the effect of misspecification on the fitted intervention model. Special attention is paid to computational issues.

description: Growing the supermassive black holes (~10^9 Msun) that power the detected luminous, highest redshift quasars (z > 6) from light seeds - the remnants of the first stars - within ~ 1 Gyr of the Big Bang poses a timing challenge for growth models. The formation of massive black hole seeds via direct collapse with initial masses ~ 10^4 - 10^5 Msun alleviates this problem. Physical conditions required to form these massive direct collapse black hole (DCBH) seeds are available in the early universe. These viable DCBH formation sites, satellite halos of star-forming galaxies, merge and acquire a stellar component. These produce a new, transient class of objects at high redshift, Obese Black hole Galaxies (OBGs), where the luminosity produced by accretion onto the black hole outshines the stellar component. Therefore, the OBG stage offers a unique way to discriminate between light and massive initial seeds. We predict the multi-wavelength energy output of OBGs and growing Pop III remnants at a fiducial redshift (z = 9), exploring both standard and slim disk accretion onto the growing central black hole for high and low metallicities of the associated stellar population. With our computed templates, we derive the selection criteria for OBGs, that comprise a pre-selection that eliminates blue sources; followed by color-color cuts ([F_{070W} - F_{220W}] > 0; -0.3 < [F_{200W} - F_{444W}] < 0.3) and when available, a high ratio of X-ray flux to rest-frame optical flux (F_X/F_{444W} >> 1) (Abridged).

description: AbstractInternational agreements are often understood to help governments make credible commitments to future policy by limiting their ability to renege on their promises. Renegotiations of agreements are accordingly viewed as a threat to cooperation, since renegotiations call past commitments into question. But we know little about the frequency or nature of treaty renegotiations. When are international agreements renegotiated, and what effect does renegotiation have on international cooperation? Do most renegotiations indeed aim to backtrack on past commitments? Using the topical context of the trade regime, I collect new data on international treaty revisions, covering 310 preferential trade agreements signed since the year 2000. Around a quarter of these agreements have been amended in some form, and the supermajority of amendments result not in scaled back agreements, but in deeper commitments. Survival analysis shows that ‘like-minded’ countries with a shared language and similar voting patterns at the UN General Assembly are most likely to revise their commitments. In contrast, I do not find evidence to support the view of PTA revisions as ‘backsliding’ on past commitments. The effects of revisions on trade cooperation support the more cooperative view of revisions. An error-correction model shows revisions are associated with a long-run increase in export volumes. Renegotiations are not breakdowns in international relations, but opportunities for governments to renew their commitment to cooperation.

description: Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {\cal C}^{α}$ of Hölder $ α$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper Minkowski dimension) sets $A {\subset} [0,1]$ such that $f|_{A}$ is monotone, or convex/concave. Some of our results are about generic functions in $ {\cal C}^{α}$ like the following one: we prove that for the generic $f\in C_{1}^{α}[0,1]$, $0\leq α<2$ for any $A {\subset} [0,1]$ such that $f|_{A}$ is convex, or concave we have ${\mathrm{dim}}_{\mathrm H} A\leq \underline{\mathrm{dim}}_M A\leq \max \{0, α-1 \}.$ On the other hand, we also have some results about all functions belonging to a certain space. For example the previous result is complemented by the following one: for $1< α\leq 2$ for any $f\in C^{α}[0,1]$ there is always a set $A {\subset}[0,1]$ such that ${\mathrm{dim}}_{\mathrm H} A= α-1$ and $f|_{A}$ is convex, or concave on $A$.

description: Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has received widespread interest in recent years, and two of the most popular types of explanations are feature attributions, and counterfactual explanations. These classes of approaches have been largely studied independently and the few attempts at reconciling them have been primarily empirical. This work establishes a clear theoretical connection between game-theoretic feature attributions, focusing on but not limited to SHAP, and counterfactuals explanations. After motivating operative changes to Shapley values based feature attributions and counterfactual explanations, we prove that, under conditions, they are in fact equivalent. We then extend the equivalency result to game-theoretic solution concepts beyond Shapley values. Moreover, through the analysis of the conditions of such equivalence, we shed light on the limitations of naively using counterfactual explanations to provide feature importances. Experiments on three datasets quantitatively show the difference in explanations at every stage of the connection between the two approaches and corroborate the theoretical findings.

description: In this paper, we introduce Entropy/IP: a system that discovers Internet address structure based on analyses of a subset of IPv6 addresses known to be active, i.e., training data, gleaned by readily available passive and active means. The system is completely automated and employs a combination of information-theoretic and machine learning techniques to probabilistically model IPv6 addresses. We present results showing that our system is effective in exposing structural characteristics of portions of the IPv6 Internet address space populated by active client, service, and router addresses. In addition to visualizing the address structure for exploration, the system uses its models to generate candidate target addresses for scanning. For each of 15 evaluated datasets, we train on 1K addresses and generate 1M candidates for scanning. We achieve some success in 14 datasets, finding up to 40% of the generated addresses to be active. In 11 of these datasets, we find active network identifiers (e.g., /64 prefixes or `subnets') not seen in training. Thus, we provide the first evidence that it is practical to discover subnets and hosts by scanning probabilistically selected areas of the IPv6 address space not known to contain active hosts a priori.

description: The fibre flow in steels plays, beside other factors, an essential role for the evaluation of the performance of forged parts. Due to the fact that the fibre flow in literature is merely rudimental defined; one part of this work attends to clarify the origin of the fibre flow. Experimental technologies exhibit that stretched MnS, which rise from the hot rolling process of steels are mainly responsible for this structure. Additionally the conditions for the development of the fibre flow in steel are also shown. By means of scanning electron microscopy the morphologies and orientations of MnS are analysed in continuous casted and hot rolled steel. Moreover the changing of the shape of MnS and other types of inclusions caused by a forging operation e.g. cylindrical upsetting in rolling direction and vertically oriented is observed in 4 different kinds of steels. Hot upsetting at 1250° C and vertically oriented to the rolling direction enables by way of the index of relative plasticity the construction of a flow curve of MnS, which is necessary for a FEM forging simulation. Additionally, the changing of the MnS morphology in dependence from the temperature is observed. Stretched MnS in hot rolled steel are influencing some characteristic mechanical properties, leading to longitudinal and transversal anisotropy of e.g. the notch impact energy in dependency from sulphur level and rolling degree. The analysis of the fracture surface of notched specimen shows the influence of the MnS morphology and orientation on the notch impact energy. Because of the changed shape of MnS, caused by hot upsetting in rolling direction, an initially present anisotropy develops to a more isotropic behaviour particularly in the core region of the upset samples. The changed morphology of MnS caused by an upsetting at room temperature does not influence significantly the changing of the anisotropy. A FEM forging simulation of the cylindrical upsetting in rolling direction of MnS in steel shows a partial accordance of the changing of the MnS morphology between the observation and simulated results. Considerations about the stress ratio around MnS at adequate loadings of parts show the detrimental impact of the MnS morphology and orientation on the mechanical properties of steels. Examples of use illustrate the influence of flattened and accordingly to the part loading oriented MnS.
Factors Affecting The Export Performance Of Textile And Garment Industry; In Ethiopia

Year: 2018

description: The study has investigated those factors, both external and internal, that affects the export performance of textile and garment sector in Ethiopia using both quantitative (OLS regression and Questionnaire) and qualitative (FGD) method of analysis. The study has revealed that previous years' economic growth measured by GDP and FDI made has positive impact on the export performance of the sector and the impact is also statistically significant. Furthermore, REER has significant and positive effect on the export performance. The cost of exporting products to various market destinations is costly and as a result the price they set at international market is becoming less competitive. The domestic price for their product is high and profitable. As a result, exporters are reluctant to export their product into international markets. They prefer to sell their product at home than exporting to the rest of the world. Trade and FDI are considered as the main channels of introducing new technology and new knowledge. As a result firms should consider this as an opportunity to adapt new technology and diversify their production. Price adaptation and ability to offer lower prices can positively affect the export performance of firms. Firms should learn from the best performers domestically and internationally.

description: Using an offline cross-correlation technique, we have analyzed the noise behavior of a new type of optical frequency comb (OFC), which is carrier envelope offset (CEO) free by configuration, due to difference frequency generation. In order to evaluate the instrument's ultimate noise floor, the phase and amplitude noise of a stabilized OFC are measured simultaneously using two analog-to-digital converters. Carrier recovery and phase detection are done by post-processing, eliminating the need for external phase-locked loops and complex calibration techniques. In order to adapt the measurement noise floor and the number of averages used in cross correlation, an adaptive frequency resolution for noise measurement is applied. Phase noise results are in excellent agreement with measurements of the fluctuations of the repetition frequency of the OFC obtained from optical signal.

description: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (update). Background Key barriers to effectively supporting adherence include poor awareness amongst healthcare professionals (HCPs), scarce clinical tools and interventions, and suboptimal patient-provider communication. A Cochrane review assessed the impact of feedback interventions amongst physicians published until 2016. Other HCPs are increasingly involved in supporting adherence. Objectives To assess the effects of providing healthcare providers with medication adherence feedback as a mechanism for improving patients’ medication adherence. To assess the impact of the intervention upon clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, economic/financial outcomes and processes of care. Search methods We will search RCTs and cluster RCTs on CENTRAL, CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PsychArticles and PsychInfo, and grey literature sources. Selection criteria Inclusion criteria are any reported intervention providing adherence feedback to HCPs as a key component, for long term medication for chronic diseases. Data collection and analysis One author performs title and abstract screening. Four authors will review full texts, extract data, and assess risk of bias. We will assess intervention effects on medication adherence, clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, economic/financial outcomes and processes of care. We will assess heterogeneity, sensitivity, and undertake meta-analysis where appropriate. Main results The search yielded 4415 articles (pending grey literature). Publication is anticipated Q1 2023. Author’s conclusions Medication adherence feedback to HCPs could contribute significantly to reducing key barriers associated with poor adherence. The Cochrane review will provide evidence of effectiveness amongst HCPs whist updating that regarding physicians.

description: We consider the distribution of cycle counts in a random regular graph, which is closely linked to the graph's spectral properties. We broaden the asymptotic regime in which the cycle counts are known to be approximately Poisson, and we give an explicit bound in total variation distance for the approximation. Using this result, we calculate limiting distributions of linear eigenvalue functionals for random regular graphs. Previous results on the distribution of cycle counts by McKay, Wormald, and Wysocka (2004) used the method of switchings, a combinatorial technique for asymptotic enumeration. Our proof uses Stein's method of exchangeable pairs and demonstrates an interesting connection between the two techniques.

description: The generalized version of a lower dimensional model where vector and axial vector interaction get mixed up with different weight is considered. The bosonized version of which does not posses the local gauge symmetry. An attempt has been made here to construct BRST invariant reformulation of this model using Batalin Fradlin and Vilkovisky formalism. It is found that the extra field needed to make it gauge invariant turns into Wess-Zumino scalar with appropriate choice of gauge fixing. An application of finite field dependent BRST and anti-BRST transformation is also made here in order to show the transmutation between the BRST symmetric and the usual non-symmetric version of the model.
