title: Der Abgrund des "Ich-kann"
Creators: name: Gamsjäger, David
Year: 2023

description: Phänomenologische Arbeiten ausgehend von Husserl und Merleau-Ponty beschreiben unser leibliches In-der-Welt-sein im Modus des „Ich-kann“. Das ‚neutrale‘ Körperschema entspricht einer Öffnung zur Welt, die es uns erlaubt, uns in ihr einzurichten und zuhause zu fühlen. Vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich zum Ziel, die vermeintlich neutrale Darstellung des vermögenden „Ich-kann“ zu problematisieren und darzulegen, inwieweit darin die Perspektive einer autonomen, selbstgesetzten und selbstgegenwärtigen Subjektivität zum Ausdruck kommt, die ihre Spezifität gleichsam als Universalität und Normalität ausgibt. Aufrechterhalten kann die privilegierte Position nur werden, indem Körper, die dieser Norm nicht entsprechen, mit Prozessen der Abwertung konfrontiert werden. Dabei vollzieht sich die Nachzeichnung verschiedener Prozesse der Abwertung in vorliegender Arbeit sowohl historisch-konkret als auch im theoretisch Abstrakten. Letztere Dimension wird verdeutlicht, indem zu Beginn ein „erweiterter Gewaltbegriff“ betont wird, der Ordnungs- und Sinnbildungsprozesse in seinen theoretischen Zugang integriert und damit einer phänomenologischen Traditionslinie folgt. Konkret soll anhand zweier historischer Beispiele aufgezeigt werden, in welcher Weise die Setzung eines aktiven, sich autonom und stets gegenwärtigen Subjekts eine politische Abgründigkeit mit sich bringt. Anhand der Phänomene des transatlantischen Sklavenhandels und sogenannter „Menschenzoos“ wird verdeutlicht, wie das (eigene) vermögende „Ich-kann“ auf das Unvermögen anderer verweist, dieses heraufbeschwört, es produziert. Das Unvermögen wird in folgender Arbeit nicht als neutrale Beschreibung verstanden, sondern vor dem Hintergrund rassistischer Vergemeinschaftungsprozesse als Identifikationsmarker einer europäischen Moderne gelesen. In radikaler Weise vollziehen sich Akte der Abwertung und Degradierung in der Missachtung des Status des vollwertigen Menschseins. Eine Ausgansposition im Modus des „Ich-kann“ ist ein Privileg und es ist ein falsches Versprechen. Die Kehrseite – das Unvermögen, bzw. die zwangshafte Unterbindung/Verunmöglichung – verweist hingegen auf eine Bodenlosigkeit, einen instabilen Untergrund, ein Gefüge, das durchzogen ist von Differenz, Brüchigkeit und Leerstellen. Die Untersuchung dieser Kehrseite soll ein Plädoyer für einen Beginn beziehungsweise eine Weiterführung einer kritischen Phänomenologie, die über Gewaltsames nachdenkt, darstellen.

description: Wood-plastic composite (WPC) deck boards are span-rated in accordance with ASTM International D7032: Standard Specification for Establishing Performance Ratings for Wood-Plastic and Plastic Lumber Deck Boards, Stair Treads, Guards, and Handrails. While this standard requires a 750 lb concentrated load check (300 lb design load multiplied by a safety factor of 2.5) to establish WPC stair tread span ratings, there is no such requirement for deck boards intended for normal use. Deck boards commonly experience concentrated loads in service, mainly from footfall of deck occupants. Under reasonably anticipated dynamic actions on decks such as walking or running, the vertical load of occupants is amplified beyond their static weight.
description: This study critically reviews the ASTM D7032 standard for a concentrated load requirement and testing procedures for WPC deck boards as well as the effects of load amplification of occupant loads realized under dynamic occupant behaviors on light-frame wood construction. This study also investigates and quantifies the effects of partial fixity for WPC deck boards fastened with composite deck screws or hidden fastener systems.
description: The findings of this study support a recommendation to update ASTM D7032 for the addition of a 300 lb concentrated design load requirement alongside the current strength checks to establish span ratings for WPC deck boards. The concentrated load is to be applied over a 25 in2 square area at midspan of one span, tested in a two-span configuration, to represent the footprint of a large adult on a continuous deck board. The value of 300 lb is determined from a static weight of 220 lb for a large adult multiplied by a dynamic load amplification factor of 1.35.
description: The findings of this study also support a recommendation to update ASTM D7032 for the inclusion of a 30% increase in the bending strength of WPC deck boards spanning multiple supports when fastened with composite deck screws or manufacturer-approved hidden fastener systems. Tests conducted in this study suggest the increase in bending strength due to partial fixity is significant and should be incorporated in establishing the span ratings of WPC deck boards.

description: Over the years, while developing Python libraries with Git and GitHub, I've often needed to carry out various procedures. Some of these tasks are rare, perhaps done only once in the lifetime of a library, like publishing to PyPI or Conda-forge. Because of this, remembering these infrequent steps can be challenging. To address this, I've been gathering all these procedures and compiling them into one central document for quick reference. I've found this collection immensely helpful, and it struck me that it might be beneficial to others as well. So, I'm sharing it here for anyone who might find it useful. And yes, this is essentially a cheat sheet.

Pairwise entanglement and the Mott transition for correlated electrons in nanochains

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Pairwise entanglement, calculated separately for charge and spin degrees of freedom, is proposed as a ground-state signature of the Mott transition in correlated nanoscopic systems. Utilizing the exact diagonalization - ab initio method (EDABI), for chains containing $N\leqslant{}16$ hydrogenic-like atoms (at the half filling), we find that the vanishing of the nearest-neighbor charge concurrence indicates the crossover from a partly-localized quantum liquid to the Mott insulator. Spin concurrence remains nonzero at the insulating phase, showing that the decopling of spin and charge degrees of freedom may manifest itself by wavefunctions entangled in spin, but separable in charge coordinates. At the quarter filling, the analysis for $N\leqslant{}20$ shows that spin concurrence vanishes immediately when the charge-energy gap obtained from the scaling with $1/N\rightarrow{}0$ vanishes, constituting a finite-system version of the Mott transition. Analytic derivations of the formulas expressing either charge or spin concurrence in terms of ground-state correlation functions are also provided.

How to set privacy parameters is a crucial problem for the consistent application of DP in practice. The current privacy parameters do not provide direct suggestions for this problem. On the other hand, different databases may have varying degrees of information leakage, allowing attackers to enhance their attacks with the available information. This dissertation provides an additional interpretation of the current DP notions by introducing a framework that directly considers the worst-case average failure probability of attackers under different levels of knowledge.
To achieve this, we introduce a novel measure of attacker knowledge and establish a dual relationship between (type I error, type II error) and (prior, average failure probability). By leveraging this framework, we propose an interpretable paradigm to consistently set privacy parameters on different databases with varying levels of leaked information.
Furthermore, we characterize the minimax limit of private parameter estimation, driven by $1/(n(1-2p))^2+1/n$, where $p$ represents the worst-case probability risk and $n$ is the number of data points. This characterization is more interpretable than the current lower bound $\min{1/(n\epsilon^2),1/(n\delta^2)}+1/n$ on $(\epsilon,\delta)$-DP. Additionally, we identify the phase transition of private parameter estimation based on this limit and provide suggestions for protocol designs to achieve optimal private estimations.
Last, we consider a federated learning setting where the data are stored in a distributed manner and privacy-preserving interactions are required. We extend the proposed interpretation to federated learning, considering two scenarios: protecting against privacy breaches against local nodes and protecting privacy breaches against the center. Specifically, we consider a non-convex sparse federated parameter estimation problem and apply it to the generalized linear models. We tackle two challenges in this setting. Firstly, we encounter the issue of initialization due to the privacy requirements that limit the number of queries to the database. Secondly, we overcome the heterogeneity in the distribution among local nodes to identify low-dimensional structures.

title: Der Übergang von dem Newtonschen Paradigma zum Quantenparadigma
Creators: name: Bancsov, Kamelia
Year: 2023

description: In dieser Arbeit wird anhand von drei Autoren die stufenweise Entwicklung der modernen Physik dargestellt. Dafür wurden drei Revolution ausgewählt: die Newtonsche, die Einsteinsche und die Quantentheoretische. Ihre philosophischen Äquivalente sind Kant, Schlick und Barad. Das Newtonsche Paradigma geht von einer harmonischen Synthese von mathematischen und physikalischen Prinzipien aus, das Einsteinsche relativiert dieses Ideal, während die Quantenphysik das Gegenteil beweist. Die Quantenmechanik zeigt uns den ontologischen Indeterminismus der Außenwelt. Die Einsteinsche Revolution bezeichnet den Zwischenschritt, der den Weg zum Quantenparadigma eröffnete. Die Kantsche Wissenschaftstheorie ist die philosophische Interpretation und Integration der Newtonschen Mechanik. Der kantische Erkenntnisoptimismus wurde im 19. Jahrhundert von den Positivisten aufgegriffen und mit den Baconschen Ideen bereichert. Die Transzendentalphilosophie von Kant wurde zwar stark kritisiert, aber das Newtonsche Paradigma, welches man in der kantischen Wissenschaftstheorie findet, wurde nicht widerlegt. Die logischen Empiristen (Neopositivisten) waren Zeugen bestimmter Anomalien, wie der Relativitätstheorie, der Akzeptanz von nicht-euklidischen Geometrien und die überraschenden Ergebnisse der quantenphysikalischen Experimente. Die Reaktion auf diese Anomalien war unterschiedlich, aber meistens gingen die Wissenschaftler:innen davon aus, dass diese Störungen mit der klassischen Physik in Einklang gebracht werden könnten, oder dass die Gesetze der Quantenwelt keine bedeutende Auswirkung auf die Makrowelt hätten. Eine Phase der Wissenschaft wird sowohl technisch als auch erkenntnistheoretisch von dem vorherrschenden Paradigma bestimmt. Eine ungefähre Strukturierung der drei Phasen der Wissenschaft ist anhand des Grades des Determinismus und der Deduktion möglich. Diese Abhandlung geht vom Konzept der wissenschaftlichen Revolutionen aus, mit der Absicht die erkenntnistheoretischen Folgen von bedeutenden experimentellen Entdeckungen zu untersuchen.

description: The properties of ground state of spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ kagome antiferromagnetic Heisenberg (KAFH) model have attracted considerable interest in the past few decades, and recent numerical simulations reported a spin liquid phase. The nature of the spin liquid phase remains unclear. For instance, the interplay between symmetries and $Z_2$ topological order leads to different types of $Z_2$ spin liquid phases. In this paper, we develop a numerical simulation method based on symmetric projected entangled-pair states (PEPS), which is generally applicable to strongly correlated model systems in two spatial dimensions. We then apply this method to study the nature of the ground state of the KAFH model. Our results are consistent with that the ground state is a $U(1)$ Dirac spin liquid rather than a $Z_2$ spin liquid.

description: Axion stars, gravitationally bound states of low-energy axion particles, have a maximum mass allowed by gravitational stability. Weakly bound states obtaining this maximum mass have sufficiently large radii such that they are dilute, and as a result, they are well described by a leading-order expansion of the axion potential. Heavier states are susceptible to gravitational collapse. Inclusion of higher-order interactions, present in the full potential, can give qualitatively different results in the analysis of collapsing heavy states, as compared to the leading-order expansion. In this work, we find that collapsing axion stars are stabilized by repulsive interactions present in the full potential, providing evidence that such objects do not form black holes. In the last moments of collapse, the binding energy of the axion star grows rapidly, and we provide evidence that a large amount of its energy is lost through rapid emission of relativistic axions.

title: Einfluss von Iso-α-Säure auf die LTA-induzierte Immun- und Entzündungsreaktion: Untersuchungen in humanen Monozyten und im Zellkulturmodell
Creators: name: Schoberleitner, Klara
Year: 2023

description: Bakterielle Infektionen und die schwerwiegende Komplikation Sepsis zählen zu den häufigsten Todesursachen weltweit. Die Pathogenese einer Sepsis konnte zwar bisher nicht vollständig geklärt werden, bekannt ist jedoch, dass es zu einer Fehlregulation der Immunantwort und einem sogenannten Zytokinsturm (übermäßige Produktion von Zytokinen) kommt, was zur Schädigung des körpereigenen Gewebes führen kann. Grampositive Bakterien lösen eine Entzündungsreaktion aus, indem Toll-like Rezeptoren 2 auf den Zellen des angeborenen Immunsystems einen Zellwandbestandteil der Bakterien, die Lipoteichonsäure (LTA), detektieren. Die Modulation einer Immunreaktion stellt einen Angriffspunkt in der Behandlung und Prävention inflammatorischer Erkrankungen dar. Iso-α-Säure (IAA), eine aus dem Hopfen gewonnene Bittersäure, zeigte in Studien eine antiinflammatorische Wirkung, wobei bislang nur wenige Untersuchungen im menschlichen Organismus, vor allem mit ernährungsphysiologisch relevanten Mengen, durchgeführt wurden. Der molekulare Wirkmechanismus von IAA sowie die Wirkungsdauer sind bislang ebenfalls nicht vollständig geklärt. Ziel der Arbeit war es zu untersuchen, ob IAA in Dosen, wie sie auch in 250ml – 1000ml Bier vorkommen, einen Einfluss auf eine LTA-induzierte Entzündungsreaktion hat und welche Mechanismen hierbei von Bedeutung sein könnten. Hierzu wurde eine Pilotstudie bei gesunden, jungen Personen durchgeführt, die einmalig IAA in Form eines IAA-reichen Extrakts aufnahmen (15mg IAA, 45mg IAA, 90mg IAA, Placebo) und aus deren Vollblut anschließend Monozyten isoliert und mit LTA stimuliert wurden. Der Einfluss eines IAA-reichen Extrakts in der LTA-vermittelten Entzündungsreaktion wurde darüber hinaus im J774A.1 Zellkulturmodell untersucht. Effekte des IAA-reichen Extrakts auf eine Entzündungsreaktion wurden durch die Messung der proinflammatorischen Zytokine Tumornekrosefaktor-α (TNF-α) und Interleukin-6 (IL-6) sowie Nitrit in den Zellüberständen der humanen Monozyten und der J774A.1 Zellen mittels ELISA bzw. Griess Assay beurteilt. Insgesamt weisen die Ergebnisse der Humanstudie darauf hin, dass eine einmalige orale Aufnahme von IAA (15mg bzw. 90mg) in Form eines IAA-reichen Extrakts die LTA-induzierte TNF-α und IL-6-Freisetzung in Monozyten für einige Stunden mindern kann, was Hinweise für eine immunsuppressive Wirkung über einige Stunden bei gesunden Probandinnen gibt. Weiters wurde in J774A.1 Zellen eine verminderte LTA-induzierte TNF-α, IL-6 sowie NOx-Freisetzung nach der Inkubation mit 6,25-50μg/ml IAA nachgewiesen. Durch die Vorbehandlung der J774A.1 Zellen mit einem Aktivator der p38 Kinase konnte der antiinflammatorische Effekt der IAA teilweise aufgehoben werden. Im Rahmen weiterer Untersuchungen sollte die Wirkung einer längerfristigen bzw. wiederholten oralen Aufnahme von IAA auf inflammatorische Mediatoren ermittelt sowie weitere Untersuchungen zum molekularen Mechanismus der IAA durchgeführt werden.

description: Individuals living within rural communities experience more health inequities and adverse health outcomes compared to their urban counterparts (Artiga & Hinton, 2018; Henning-Smith et al., 2017; Wolfe et al., 2020). One of the most consistent findings within health disparity literature is that place matters (Baciu et al., 2017; Bolin et al., 2015; Douthit et al., 2015). Within urban cities life expectancy can differ as much as 25 years from one neighborhood to the next (Baciu et al., 2017; Evans et al., 2012; Zimmerman & Woolf, 2014); within rural communities, these health inequities are getting greater due to access to health services decreasing and hospital and practitioner facility closures all over rural United States (U.S.; Douthit et al., 2015; U.S. Government Accountability Office, 2018). Additionally, mental health concerns and substance use rates are climbing among rural individuals of all ages (Center for Disease Control [CDC], 2018; Leaders, 2019). Using the Andersen Behavioral Health Service Use Model (BHSUM), which measures equitable access to care, and to inform the development of policies to promote equitable access to health care, the purpose of this study was to identify how predisposing, enabling, and needs-based factors influence healthcare physician availability, access to preventative care, and unplanned hospitalization/ER visits. I conducted a series of bivariate associations and regression analyses to assess the associations of predisposing, enabling, and needs-based factors with health-seeking behaviors among rural-dwelling adults. Results revealed significant associations between age, activities of daily living (ADL), need for mental health services, and need for substance use services with physician availability, access to preventative care, and unplanned hospitalization/ER visits. Findings highlight the need for policy provisions and more affordable/accessible long term supports and services in the home and community. This study adds to the literature by 1) conceptualizing mental health as a needs-based factors in addition to physical needs-based factors, and 2) emphasizing the role of prevention to promote health-seeking behaviors in middle and late adulthood.

description: Introduction: Clinical neuropsychologists are often asked to assess the everyday functional abilities of their patients. Currently, the traditional measures of cognitive abilities most used by neuropsychologists are low in ecological validity and only capture a small proportion of variance of a person’s true functional capacity. While there have been some attempts to develop more ecologically valid measures of functional ability, the formats of these tasks are often too demanding, impractical, or infeasible to administer in a clinical setting. The current study details the development of a practical and portable measure of everyday planning, the Overnight Trip Task (OTT). Method: Fifty community dwelling older adults participated in two, 3-hour sessions through video conferencing (Zoom). Participants completed a battery of cognitive assessments and two formats of the OTT: the clinic OTT (paper-and-pencil) and parallel task, RW-OTT (real-world performance). Both formats required participants to plan for what they would pack and prepare for a hypothetical overnight trip based on a provided story. Embedded in the story are irrelevant information, rules, and contingencies that influence items and preparation needed for the trip. Results: The clinic OTT demonstrated a moderate relationship with the RW-OTT (r = .49) and no relationship with biological sex, learning, or long delay recall (r = -.03 to - .09), as well as two measures of executive functioning (set shifting, r = .26, verbal fluency, r = .13). Additionally, no significant relationships were found between the clinic OTT and another measure of everyday planning (r = .21). However, the RW-OTT was moderately correlated with the additional everyday planning measure (r = .35). Finally, neither the clinic OTT nor RW-OTT were able to account for incremental variance over and above executive functions or global cognition in a composite measure of everyday functioning. Discussion: The OTT was able to demonstrate good ecological and discriminate validity. However, there was no support for convergent or incremental validity. As typical clinical outcome measures of everyday functioning may not offer the most accurate representation of true real-world functioning, new methodologies may be needed to better establish the predictive validity of neuropsychological tests.

description: This research project was mainly set out with general objective of assessing monitoring and evaluation practices of eight town distribution rehabilitation project of Ethiopia Electric Utility. To achieve its objective, the study employed descriptive research approach and secondary data was used. Questionnaires were used as data collection tools. Furthermore, it employed purposive sampling techniques. The generated data was analyzed using frequency, percentage and other statistical analysis methods such as stability and correlation. The study examined questionnaires, open ended questionnaire used better to identify the cases that respondents feel about the project. Most respondents described their feelings and understandings It was found out that there was lack of adequate and capable workforce on the project contractors and monitoring and evaluation group, lack of capacity building program, problems related with right off and interruption related issues are among some the respondents open ended responses, In addition the use of tools and techniques of evaluation, non presence of log frame, stakeholder involvement in planning and evaluation practices, non availability of separate budget for monitoring and evaluation are some of the drawback of the evaluation process. The result and analyses summarizes mentioned problems. In this analysis part the reliability and correlation between the variables also checked. Descriptive statistics was used to make the result and most of the analysis, but also tries to correlate the identified variables with negative response with each other and with the projects problem of not achieving the planned schedule and budget. Finally the discussion and recommendation is made in accordance with the findings and open ended responses. The recommendation part gives the main considerations that should be taken was emphasized to have effective implementation of project and real monitoring and evaluation process

title: Digitale Grundbildung 2.0 - eine Analyse des Lehrplans mit Fokus auf Schnittstellen zum Mathematikunterricht
Creators: name: Saurer, Michael Franz
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem neuen Pflichtfach Digitale Grundbildung (DGB) in der Sekundarstufe I, das im Schuljahr 2022/23 als Pflichtfach eingeführt wurde. Der theoretische Teil der Arbeit enthält neben relevanten Definitionen und theoretischen Inhalten eine Analyse des Entwicklungsprozesses des Lehrplanes dieses „neuen“ Unterrichtsfaches. Außerdem werden Änderungen des Lehrplanentwurfes zum finalen Lehrplan aufgezeigt. Der Praxisteil beschäftigt sich mit der Erstellung eines Leitfadens, der Durchführung der Interviews mit Lehrerinnen und Lehrern an AHS und Mittelschulen sowie die Auswertung der Interviews. Diese Analyse soll Aufschlüsse zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfragen liefern. Ziel der Arbeit ist es herauszufinden, welche Inhalte des DGB-Lehrplanes auch integrativ im Mathematik-Unterricht vertiefend gelehrt werden können und welche Unterrichtskonzepte dafür verwendet werden könnten. Weiters gilt es herauszufinden, welche Kennzeichen eine optimale Schnittstelle zwischen der Digitalen Grundbildung und einem digitalisierungssensitiven Mathematik-Unterricht aufweisen sollte.

description: Describing finite-temperature nonequilibrium dynamics of interacting many-particle systems is a notoriously challenging problem in quantum many-body physics. Here we provide an exact solution to this problem for a system of strongly interacting bosons in one dimension in the Tonks-Girardeau regime of infinitely strong repulsive interactions. Using the Fredholm determinant approach and the Bose-Fermi mapping we show how the problem can be reduced to a single-particle basis, wherein the finite-temperature effects enter the solution via an effective "dressing" of the single-particle wavefunctions by the Fermi-Dirac occupation factors. We demonstrate the utility of our approach and its computational efficiency in two nontrivial out-of-equilibrium scenarios: collective breathing mode oscillations in a harmonic trap and collisional dynamics in the Newton's cradle setting involving real-time evolution in a periodic Bragg potential.

title: Über die Einstellungen und Erwartungen von Lehrpersonen zur Standardisierung ab der dritten Volksschulstufe in Österreich und dessen Auswirkungen auf ihre wahrgenommene Professionalität
Creators: name: Kerzl, Melanie
Year: 2023

description: Die österreichische Schule hat laut dem Schulorganisationsgesetz die Aufgabe, die Schüler*innen nach den sittlichen, religiösen sowie sozialen Werten bei ihrer Entwicklung zu unterstützen. Eine Rücksichtnahme auf die individuellen Entwicklungsstufen soll dabei beachtet werden. Auf diesem Weg werden die Schüler*innen von Lehrpersonen begleitet, welche mit Hilfe eines vorgegebenen Rahmenlehrplans ihren Unterricht gestalten. Die Standardisierung spielt im österreichischen Bildungssystem eine umfassende Rolle. Diese Arbeit stützt sich auf den ersten Abschnitt, die Volksschulzeit. Am Ende, der in der Regel vier Jahre, sollten alle Schüler*innen bestimmte Kompetenzen aufweisen, welche durch Bildungsstandards formuliert sind. Diese beschreiben zentrale Lernergebnisse an österreichischen Volksschulen für die Unterrichtsfächer „Deutsch, Lesen, Schreiben“ und „Mathematik“. Eine Evaluierungsmethode, inwiefern Schüler*innen den Kompetenzstand erreicht haben, bildet die individuelle Kompetenzmessung PLUS, welche ab dem Schuljahr 2020/21 bereits ab der dritten Volksschulstufe verpflichtend durchgeführt werden muss. Die Ergebnisse dieser Messung können laut Bundesministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung einerseits für die individuelle Förderung und andererseits für die Schul- und Qualitätsentwicklung genutzt werden. Diese Forschungsarbeit setzt sich mit den Einstellungen und Erwartungen von Lehrpersonen zur individuellen Kompetenzmessung PLUS auseinander und erörtert zudem inwiefern sich diese auf ihre wahrgenommene Professionalität auswirkt. Dafür werden die drei Bestimmungsansätze von Professionalität, der strukturtheoretische, der kompetenztheoretische und der berufsbiographische Ansatz herangezogen. Der Diskurs zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis soll befördert werden. Es wird untersucht, wie die Ergebnisse der individuellen Kompetenzmessung PLUS zur Optimierung des Unterrichts beitragen und als Mittel zur Professionalisierung von Lehrer*innen verwendet werden können.

The Role Of Project Manager Leadership Styles In Improving Project Performance: In Case Of Initiative Africa
Creators: name: Tilahun, Shumet
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Project management has been adopted by a wide range of organizations, industry, commerce and government to handle their many and varied undertakings. Generally, projects involve many people with different skills and professions, big sum of money, limited time and resources, and unique activities to be carried out. This research paper begins with a focus on the value of general leadership and elaborates on the effectives of each leadership style. In today's world of multitasking and constant development, leaders are a fundamental component for any organization to succeed. Leaders take on large responsibilities and move organizations forward. This thesis underlines that, in the field of project management is typically more crucial, due to the involvement and constant integration of multiple projects in organizations. The unique demand and integration of projects creates a need of having qualified project managers, in particular leader those that bring a set of positive attributes to the project and the organization. Therefore, managing a project becomes quite complex and different than managing industries, since the former has a dynamic nature. This study was to examine the relationship between leadership styles (transformational and transactional) and project performance. A set of questionnaires was administered to 52 project managers, executive directors and program officers in 18 organizations in Addis Ababa, of whom 44 were responded. Regression statistical analysis was done to explain the relationship between variables. The most salient finding was that transformational leadership styles were related to project performance. Implication of the study was discussed, and some suggestions were made

description: This thesis investigates how different types of environmental shocks affect the health, wellbeing and economic preferences of vulnerable populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Firstly, it examines the effects of flood exposure on the mental and physical health of urban poor adults and children in Indonesia. Secondly, it investigates how high temperatures affect people’s ability to make rational economic decisions, their risk aversion and their economic impatience. It also investigates the mechanisms behind this relationship. Finally, it examines the effects of heat on the health and liveability of adults and children residing in informal settlements in two tropical countries, Indonesia and Fiji.
BPS relations from spectral problems and blowup equations

description: Recently an exact duality between topological string and the spectral theory of operators constructed from mirror curves to toric Calabi-Yau threefolds has been proposed. At the same time an exact quantization condition for the cluster integrable systems associated to these geometries has been conjectured. The consistency between the two approaches leads to an infinite set of constraints for the refined BPS invariants of the toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. We prove these constraints for the $Y^{N,m}$ geometries using the $K$-theoretic blowup equations for $SU(N)$ SYM with generic Chern-Simons invariant $m$.
