Begabtenförderung
Masterarbeit

description: Mit dem Fokus auf eine Bedürfnisanalyse ging die empirische Entwicklungsarbeit im Sinne der Aktionsforschung der Frage nach, was die Lehrpersonen brauchen, damit die Begabungsförderung in ihrer Klasse beginnen kann. Die Auswertung der schriftlichen Befragung von 56 Lehrpersonen zeigte einen Bedarf bei den zu wenig vorhandenen Zeit-, Raum- und Material- Ressourcen und den fehlenden theoretischen Grundlagen für die Begabungsförderung. Durch Weiterbildungen, klassen- und stufenübergreifende Projekte sowie mit den Materialressourcen Bücherkisten und Laptops konnten bereits einige Wünsche der Lehrpersonen erfüllt werden. Die daraus gewachsene positive Haltung der Lehrpersonen führte dazu, dass der Bedarf nach einem konkreten Begabungskonzept geklärt und angemeldet werden konnte. Auf der Basis der Erkenntnisse der Bedürfnisanalyse dieser Arbeit wird eine Arbeitsgruppe im Schuljahr 2015/16 ein Konzept erarbeiten.

description: Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) is a framework for modeling the infrared structure of theories whose long distance behavior is dominated by soft and collinear divergences. This paper demonstrates that SCET can be made compatible with supersymmetry (SUSY). Explicitly, the effective Lagrangian for $\mathcal{N} = 1$ SUSY Yang-Mills is constructed and shown to be a complete description for the infrared of this model. For contrast, we also construct the effective Lagrangian for chiral SUSY theories with Yukawa couplings, specifically the single flavor Wess-Zumino model. Only a subset of the infrared divergences are reproduced by the Lagrangian -- to account for the complete low energy description requires the inclusion of local operators. SCET is formulated by expanding fields along a light-like direction and then subsequently integrating out degrees-of-freedom that are away from the light-cone. Defining the theory with respect to a specific frame obfuscates Lorentz invariance -- given that SUSY is a space-time symmetry, this presents a possible obstruction. The cleanest language with which to expose the congruence between SUSY and SCET requires exploring two novel formalisms: collinear fermions as two-component Weyl spinors, and SCET in light-cone gauge. By expressing SUSY Yang-Mills in "collinear superspace", a slice of superspace derived by integrating out half the fermionic coordinates, the light-cone gauge SUSY SCET theory can be written in terms of superfields. As a byproduct, bootstrapping up to the full theory yields the first algorithmic approach for determining the SUSY Yang-Mills on-shell superspace action. This work paves the way toward discovering the effective theory for the collinear limit of $\mathcal{N} = 4$ SUSY Yang-Mills.

description: The aim of this study was to report the synthesis of biologically active compounds; 7-(2′-aminoethoxyimino)-cholest-5-ene (4), a steroidal oxime-ether and its derivatives (5, 6) via a facile microwave assisted solvent free reaction methodology. This new synthetic, eco-friendly, sustainable protocol resulted in a remarkable improvement in the synthetic efficiency (85–93 % yield) and high purity using basic alumina. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial against six bacterial strains by disc diffusion method and antioxidant potential by DPPH assay. The binding capabilities of a compound 6 exhibiting good antibacterial potential were assessed on the basis of molecular docking studies and four types of three-dimensional molecular field descriptors. Moreover the structure–antimicrobial activity relationships were studied using some physicochemical and quantum-chemical parameters with GAMESS interface as well as WebMO Job Manager by using the basic level of theory. Hence, this synthetic approach is believed to provide a better scope for the synthesis of steroidal oxime-ether analogues and will be a more practical alternative to the presently existing procedures. Moreover, detailed in silico docking studies suggested the plausible mechanism of steroidal oxime-ethers as effective antimicrobial agents.

description: We consider the generalizations of the free U(N) and O(N) scalar conformal field theories to actions with higher powers of the Laplacian box^k, in general dimension d. We study the spectra, Verma modules, anomalies and OPE of these theories. We argue that in certain d and k, the spectrum contains zero norm operators which are both primary and descendant, as well as extension operators which are neither primary nor descendant. In addition, we argue that in even dimensions d <= 2k, there are well-defined operator algebras which are related to the box^k theories and are novel in that they have a finite number of single-trace states.

description: In March 2020, the WHO declared the SARS CoV-2 pandemic. This had an immediate and dramatic impact on Romanian physicians. To analyse SARS-CoV-2 risk perception among Romanian physicians following the official WHO pandemic announcement. A questionnaire was sent to Romanian physicians (n = 319) between 13 and 27 of March 2020 to determine the perceived threat of exposure to SARS CoV-2 infection, the assessment COVID-19 sources of documentation, physicians’ access to personal protective equipment and the attitude towards a prospective vaccine against SARS CoV-2. Confronted with a new and unknown disease, the lack of appropriate information regarding disease management, media pressure and the lack of protective equipment, physicians experiencing a highly stressful a period. We found a significant relationship between the perceived level of fear and the risk of infection with SARS CoV-2 among respondents. A relationship was also found between the perceived level of fear related to COVID-19 and the acceptance of future vaccines against SARS CoV-2. Our data show that doctors working in urban areas considered the medical research on COVID-19 as clearer than those working in rural locations did. Pandemic preparedness should focus on measures that make medical practice safe (supplies, working protocols, experience sharing with experts/colleagues from other countries).

description: Combining topology and plasmonics paradigms in nanocolloidal systems may enable new means of pre-engineering desired composite material properties. Here we design and realize orientationally ordered assemblies of noble metal nanoparticles with genus-one topology and unusual long-range ordering mediated by their interactions with the surrounding nematic fluid host. Facile electric switching of these composites is reminiscent to that of pristine liquid crystals (LCs), but provides a means of reconfiguring the nanoparticle assembly and thus also the ensuing composite medium's optical properties. Our findings may lead to formation of new molecular-colloidal soft matter phases with unusual optical properties as well as optical metamaterials.

description: We analyze the highly non-perturbative regime surrounding the Mott-Hubbard metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) by means of dynamical mean field theory calculations at the two-particle level. By extending the results of Schäfer, et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 246405 (2013)] we show the existence of infinitely many lines in the phase diagram of the Hubbard model where the local Bethe-Salpeter equations, and the related irreducible vertex functions, become singular in the charge as well as the particle-particle channel. These divergence lines accumulate around the critical Mott endpoint in accordance with the interpretation as precursors of the MIT. By comparing our numerical data with analytical calculations of increasing complexity, such as for the disordered Binary Mixture and Falicov-Kimball (FK) models, as well as for the atomic limit (AL) case, (i) we identify two different kinds of divergences lines; (ii) we classify them in terms of the frequency-structure of the associated singular eigenvectors; (iii) we investigate their relation to the multiple branches in the Luttinger-Ward formalism. Moreover, we could distinguish the situations where the multiple divergences simply reflect the emergence of an underlying, unique energy scale $ν^*$ below which perturbation theory does no longer apply, from those where the breakdown of perturbation theory affects, not trivially, different energy regimes. Finally, we discuss the implications of our results on the theoretical understanding of the non-perturbative physics around the MIT and for future developments of many-body algorithms applicable in this regime.

description: The 'Vision zero' goal represents the apex of the European Commission's road safety plan, andenhancing road safety is seen as a primary objective by governments and transport policymakers across theglobe. Due to the greater death rate associated with crashes involving pedestrians, this vulnerable usergroup has been the focus of increased study. Consequently, there is a growing need for studies thatexamine pedestrian behavior and the implementation of Intelligent Transport Systems designed to aidpedestrians. Using a Countdown Signal Timer (CST) and some machine learning techniques, this researchaims to forecast how pedestrians would behave at crossings. Presenting this case study is an analysis of asimulated environment model intersection with pedestrian traffic lights equipped with countdown signaltimings. An X-Convolutional Neural Network (X-CNN) and a decision-making model were bothemployed to meet the requirements of the analysis. Both models demonstrated satisfactory performance,according to the results. To be more specific, the X-CNN model used a Mean Squared Error value topredict the pedestrians' crossing speed. By accurately predicting how pedestrians cross the street, we maylearn more about the impact of countdown signal timers and how to improve infrastructure safety for thisdemographic so that they receive timely and relevant information through the speaker.

description: We consider Big Bang nucleosynthesis and the cosmic microwave background when both the neutrino temperature and neutrino number are allowed to vary from their standard values. The neutrino temperature is assumed to differ from its standard model value by a fixed factor from Big Bang nucleosynthesis up to the present. In this scenario, the effective number of relativistic degrees of freedom, $N_{\rm eff}^{\rm CMB}$, derived from observations of the cosmic microwave background is not equal to the true number of neutrinos, $N_ν$. We determine the element abundances predicted by Big Bang nucleosynthesis as a function of the neutrino number and temperature, converting the latter to the equivalent value of $N_{\rm eff}^{\rm CMB}$. We find that a value of $N_{\rm eff}^{\rm CMB} \approx 3$ can be made consistent with $N_ν= 4$ with a decrease in the neutrino temperature of $\sim 5\%$, while $N_ν= 5$ is excluded for any value of $N_{\rm eff}^{\rm CMB}$. No observationally-allowed values for $N_{\rm eff}^{\rm CMB}$ and $N_ν$ can solve the lithium problem.

description: Despite significant evidence supporting the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in the prevention of cervical cancer, uptake of this vaccine is below target in many countries. HPV uptake in Ireland has declined from 87% in 2014–15 to 51% in 2016–17 and currently remains suboptimal at 64.1% in 2017–18. This study aimed to explore parental views of the HPV vaccine; elucidate specific concerns relating to this vaccine and to identify relevant influences on the decision to vaccinate against HPV to inform strategies to optimise uptake. An in-depth qualitative study, using semi-structured interviews was conducted among parents of 11–13-year-old girls (n = 18) who had not yet been offered the HPV vaccine. Convenience sampling was used. Interviews, conducted in the Republic of Ireland over six-months in 2018, were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed by thematic analysis. Eighteen interviews were conducted (14 female and 4 male participants). Parents favoured HPV vaccination to protect their daughters and prevent disease. Barriers to vaccination included; the fear of long-term side effects, lack of knowledge and the risk versus benefit ratio. General practitioners (GPs) were identified as having a strong influence over parental vaccination decisions, as did media reports and the recent cervical screening programme controversy in Ireland. This study suggests that significant parental concerns remain to the HPV vaccine. More comprehensive information on the research surrounding this vaccine’s safety profile is required. GP’s may play a pivotal role in HPV vaccination going forward.

description: Should we expect most habitable planets to share the Earth's marbled appearance? For a planetary surface to boast extensive areas of both land and water, a delicate balance must be struck between the volume of water it retains and the capacity of its perturbations. These two quantities may show substantial variability across the full spectrum of water-bearing worlds. This would suggest that, barring strong feedback effects, most surfaces are heavily dominated by either water or land. Why is the Earth so finely poised? To address this question we construct a simple model for the selection bias that would arise within an ensemble of surface conditions. Based on the Earth's ocean coverage of 71%, we find substantial evidence (Bayes factor K ~ 6) supporting the hypothesis that anthropic selection effects are at work. Furthermore, due to the Earth's proximity to the waterworld limit, this model predicts that most habitable planets are dominated by oceans spanning over 90% of their surface area (95% credible interval). This scenario, in which the Earth has a much greater land area than most habitable planets, is consistent with results from numerical simulations and could help explain the apparently low-mass transition in the mass-radius relation.

Systematic effects in the low-energy behavior of the current SAID solution for the pion-nucleon system

description: We investigate the description of the pion-nucleon experimental data at low energy (i.e., below pion laboratory kinetic energy of $100$ MeV) on the basis of the current SAID solution (WI08). We demonstrate that, in a self-consistent analysis scheme, the scale factors of the fits based on the Arndt-Roper formula come out independent of the beam energy and `cluster' around the expectation value of $1$. We report systematic effects in the low-energy behavior of the WI08 solution. These effects indicate that at least one of the three following assumptions, underlying the WI08 analysis, does \emph{not} hold, namely that: a) the bulk of the data is reliable, b) the electromagnetic effects are correctly accounted for, and c) the isospin invariance in the strong interactions of the $πN$ system is valid.

description: Grisms are dispersive transmission optics that find their most frequent use in instruments that combine imaging and spectroscopy. This application is particularly popular in the infrared where imagers frequently have a cold pupil in their optical path that is a suitable location for a dispersive element. In particular, several recent and planned space experiments make use of grisms in slit-less spectrographs capable of multi-object spectroscopy. We present an astronomer-oriented general purpose introduction to grisms and their use in current and future astronomical instruments. We present a simple, step-by-step procedure for adding a grism spectroscopy capability to an existing imager design. This procedure serves as an introduction to a discussion of the device performance requirements for grisms, focusing in particular on the problems of lithographically patterned silicon devices, the most effective grism technology for the 1.1-8 micron range. We begin by summarizing the manufacturing process of monolithic silicon gratings. We follow this with a report in detail on the as-built performance of parts constructed for a significant new space application, the NIRCam instrument on JWST and compare these measurements to the requirements.

Bulk-edge correspondence for topological photonic continua

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: Here, building on our previous work [Phys. Rev. B, 92, 125153, (2015)], it is shown that the propagation of unidirectional gapless edge states at an interface of two topologically distinct electromagnetic continua with a well-behaved asymptotic electromagnetic response is rigorously predicted by the bulk-edge correspondence principle. We work out detailed examples demonstrating that when the spatial-cut off of the nonreciprocal part of the material response is considered self-consistently in the solution of the relevant electromagnetic problem, the number of unidirectional gapless edge modes is identical to the difference of the Chern numbers of the bulk materials. Furthermore, it is shown how the role of the spatial cut-off can be imitated in realistic systems using a tiny air gap with a specific thickness. This theory provides a practical roadmap for the application of topological concepts to photonic platforms formed by nonreciprocal electromagnetic continua.

title: Telemedicine: Discovering and Overcoming the Barriers
Creators: name: McClain-Furmanski, Dennis
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1996

description: Telemedicine is the use of teleconmrunications for medical diagnosis and patient care from a distance. This multimedia computer based medium serves as an aid to decision making, a means of transmission of care-related data and as a channel for collaborative care management between a provider and a patient. It is of greatest utility in remote areas, or in other cases where transportation of either provider or patient would be problematic or economically less feasible than the telemedicine alternative.

This study examined the current capabilities of the computer hardware and software necessary to implement a telemedicine system. It found that current capabilities surpass the level required to conduct telemedicine. Hence, technology development does not serve as a barrier to the implementation of telemedicine.

However, a qualitative analysis of opinions and observations of persons from relevant fields associated with telemedicine revealed reasons for the lagging development of this innovative method of medical practice. Reasons include lack of reimbursement guidelines by third-party payors, uneven distribution of long distance telephone call tariffs, and lack of governmental policy to facilitate the development of telemedicine.

In order to reduce or eliminate the barriers to implementation of telemedicine, this study recommends development, adoption and dissemination of policy by the governmental agencies responsible for insurance regulation and long-distance network regulation. It also presents a summary of opinions from persons in related fields on how best to develop this technology.

description: While democratic backsliding and the EU’s constraining role has received notable scholarly attention from the formal, legal perspective, its responses (or lack thereof) to informal power in Central and Eastern Europe is still understudied. This working paper aims to fill this gap by looking at the case of Hungary and Poland where the governments tilted the playing field informally since 2010 and 2015 respectively. It applies the concept of informal power to explain how the Hungarian and Polish governments captured the media in an uncodified, informal way under the watch of the European Union. Despite the EU coming up with new tools to address the problem, it failed to force Hungary and Poland to comply with the core values of the EU. Triggering the Rule of Law Conditionality Mechanism against Hungary and withholding multiple financial transfers both from Poland and Hungary marked a turning point in the dispute within the EU. The working paper briefly explains the linkages between the informal power, and the responses of the EU institutions. The theoretical expectation is that due to the increasing politicization of the EU’s responses, it would address certain aspects of informal power and ignores others in a selective way. Empirically, the paper maps the legal and political toolkit of the EU and how it addressed democratic backsliding in Hungary and Poland, before and after Russia invaded Ukraine.

description: Dank nationaler und internationaler Initiativen tritt das Grid Computing langsam aus seinem Schattendasein hervor. Ausgehend von den ursprünglichen Hauptanwendern und auch -entwicklern aus der Hochenergie- und Teilchenphysik, weitet sich die Anwendung dieser Technologie auf andere Disziplinen, wie etwa die Klimaforschung und die Bio-Medizin, aus. Als zum Grid Computing komplementäre Technologie etablierte sich in den letzten fünf Jahren das Cloud Computing, welches im Hintergrund oft auf die Virtualisierung von Ressourcen und Plattformen zurückgreift. Eine mögliche und von europäischen Grid-Initiativen forcierte Kombination beider Technologien liegt in dem bedarfsorientierten Betrieb von Grid Middleware-Diensten in einer Cloud. Dabei sind die Dienste mitsamt dem unterliegenden Betriebssystem in eine virtuelle Appliance zu kapseln. Bei der Nutzung solcher Appliances stellen Abläufe für die kontrollierte, nachvollziehbare und wiederholbare Erzeugung einen wichtigen Punkt dar. Mit der Beschreibung dieser Abläufe als Workflows ist in dieser Arbeit eine erfolgversprechende Möglichkeit untersucht, die langfristig eine hochgradig automatisierte Installation und Konfiguration nicht nur von Grid Middleware-Diensten erlaubt.
description: Thanks to successful national and international initiatives Grid Computing begins to leave its shadowy existence. Years ago it started with users and developers mainly coming from the field of high energy and particle physics, and now also attracts increasing interest in other disciplines like climatology and biomedical research. Within the last five years with Cloud Computing another enabling technology emerged. This one utilizes resource and platform virtualization in its back-end and can be understood as complementary to Grid Computing. A possible and by European Grid initiatives pursued combination of both technologies is the on-demand operation of Grid middleware services in a Compute Cloud. For this purpose the middleware services and the underlying operating systems are encapsulated in virtual appliances. In this context, an important task is to establish comprehensible and replicable processes for the creation of these virtual appliances. This work evaluates the feasibility of workflows to describe these processes and shows workflows created for three different Grid middlewares. In the long run they allow a highly automated installation and configuration not only of Gridmiddleware services, but also supplemental services.

description: Coeliac disease (CD) is a highly prevalent (∼1%) disease that allegedly remains undiagnosed in over 80% of the cases because of atypical symptoms or silent disease. Currently, it is unknown how GPs deal with (suspected) CD. This study aimed to better understand the diagnostic approach and the clinical reasoning process of GPs concerning CD and concurrently address diagnostic pitfalls. A questionnaire with case vignettes to assess the knowledge, diagnostic reasoning pattern and practice for CD by GPs was developed. It was sent through academic GP research networks (encompassing over 1500 GPs) in two large cities and to smaller practices in rural areas. The questionnaire was composed of seven background questions, 13 questions related to four case vignettes and six additional CD-related questions Responses were received from 106 GPs. Knowledge on risk factors for CD and appropriate testing of at-risk populations was limited. Twenty-two percent would diagnose CD in adults exclusively based on serology, without histopathological confirmation. In total, 99% would refer a newly diagnosed patient to a dietitian to initiate a gluten-free diet (GFD). In the absence of symptoms, only 33% would initiate a GFD. The results of this study have given us insight into the diagnostic process of GPs encountering patient with gluten-related complaints. Multiple serology test is available and used, while a positive serology test is not always followed up by a gastroduodenal biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Most GPs would refer a symptomatic CD patient to a dietician for a GFD.

description: In this work, we focus on the theory of Gravito-Electromagnetism (GEM) -- the theory that describes the dynamics of the gravitational field in terms of quantities met in Electromagnetism -- and we propose two novel forms of metric perturbations. The first one is a generalisation of the traditional GEM ansatz, and succeeds in reproducing the whole set of Maxwell's equations even for a dynamical vector potential A. The second form, the so-called alternative ansatz, goes beyond that leading to an expression for the Lorentz force that matches the one of Electromagnetism and is free of additional terms even for a dynamical scalar potential Φ. In the context of the linearised theory, we then search for scalar invariant quantities in analogy to Electromagnetism. We define three novel, 3rd-rank gravitational tensors, and demonstrate that the last two can be employed to construct scalar quantities that succeed in giving results very similar to those found in Electromagnetism. Finally, the gauge invariance of the linearised gravitational theory is studied, and shown to lead to the gauge invariance of the GEM fields E and B for a general configuration of the arbitrary vector involved in the coordinate transformations.

description: We study the thermodynamics of a Brownian particle under the influence of a time multiplexed harmonic potential of finite width. The memory storage mechanism and the erasure protocol realized by time multiplexed potentials are utilized to experimentally realize erasure with work close to the Landauer's bound. We quantify the work done on the system with respect to the duty-ratio of time multiplexing, which also provides a handle to approach reversible erasures. A Langevin dynamics based simulation model is developed for the proposed memory bit and the erasure protocol, which guides the experimental realization. The study also provides insights into transport at the micro scale.

Effekte von Lehrerfortbildungen zum schulischen Umgang mit rechenschwachen Kindern

description: „Die Förderung von Kindern mit Rechenschwäche ist eine genuine Aufgabe der Schule!“ (Lorenz 2003, 108). Aus dieser Forderung wird deutlich, dass der Umgang mit Rechenschwäche und Rechenstörungen als ein schulisches Problem betrachtet werden soll. Dem steht entgegen, dass eine Verankerung in der Lehrerausbildung häufig fehlt und Lehrerinnen und Lehrer selten auf die Arbeit mit rechenschwachen Kindern vorbereitet werden. Eine häufige Folge ist, dass die Diagnose und Förderung von außerschulischen Einrichtungen übernommen und aus der Schule ausgelagert werden. Wenn jedoch rechenschwachen Kindern in der Schule geholfen werden soll, müssen Lehrkräfte dabei unterstützt und ihre Kompetenzen im Umgang mit rechenschwachen Kindern gestärkt werden. Auch wenn der Fortbildungsbedarf groß ist (vgl. Lenart 2003), weiß man noch wenig über die tatsächliche Qualifikation von Lehrkräften im Umgang mit rechenschwachen Kindern sowie über wirksame Unterstützungsmaßnahmen für Lehrkräfte. Deshalb wird im vorliegenden Dissertationsprojekt eine einjährige Lehrerfortbildung zur Diagnose, Förderung und Prävention von Rechenstörungen evaluiert. .

Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Syndrom
Masterarbeit

description: In dieser Literaturarbeit werden theoretische Grundlagen der Aufmerksamkeits-Defizit- Hyperaktivitäts-Störung (ADHS) mit den Theorien des kompetenzorientierten sowie des offenen Unterrichts verknüpft. Zudem wird die Rolle der Schulischen Heilpädagogin bei Kindern mit ADHS sowohl im kompetenzorientierten als auch im offenen Unterricht definiert. Es soll aufgezeigt werden, welche Möglichkeiten der kompetenzorientierte und auch offene Unterricht bieten, um Kinder mit den typischen Symptomen von ADHS als Schulische Heilpädagogin optimal zu unterstützen. Die Vernetzungen der verschiedenen Theorien zeigen, dass sowohl der kompetenzorientierte als auch der offene Unterricht viele Möglichkeiten bieten, einen optimalen Umgang mit den Symptomen von ADHS zu finden. Damit die Arbeit der Heilpädagogin gewinnbringend ist, bedarf es einer guten Kooperation mit der Klassenlehrperson.
An Algorithm for Hardware/Software Partitioning Using Mixed Integer Linear

description: One of the key problems in hardware/software codesign is hardware/software partitioning. This paper describes a new approach to hardware/software partitioning using integer programming (IP). The advantage of using IP is that optimal results are calculated for a chosen objective function. The partitioning approach works fully automatic and supports multi-processor systems, interfacing and hardware sharing. In contrast to other approaches where special estimators are used, we use compilation and synthesis tools for cost estimation. The increased time for calculating values for the cost metrics is compensated by an improved quality of the values. Therefore, fewer iteration steps for partitioning are needed. The paper presents an algorithm using integer programming for solving the hardware/software partitioning problem leading to promising results.

description: Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is the workhorse for training large-scale machine learning applications. Although the convergence rate of its deterministic counterpart, Gradient Descent (GD), can be shown to be accelerated by adaptations that use the notion of momentum, e.g., Heavy Ball (HB) or Nesterov Accelerated Gradient (NAG), the theory could not prove, by means of local convergence analysis, that such modifications provide faster convergence rates in the stochastic setting. This work empirically establishes that a positive momentum coefficient in SGD has the effect of enlarging the algorithm’s learning rate, not contributing to a boost in performance per se. For the deep learning setting, however, this enlargement tends to be conducted in a way robust to unfavorableinitialization points. Given these findings, this work derives a heuristic, the Momentum Linear Scaling Rule (MLSR), to transfer from a small-batch setting to a large-batch setting in deep learning while approximately maintaining the same generalization performance.

description: Background: Medicine improves the quality of life and increases the improved the longevity of human beings as it helps to fights against several diseases. Access to essential medicines is the fundamental right of every person. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) demarcates the list of essential medicines (EMs), as medicines that ―satisfy the priority health-care needs of the population. Objective: To evaluate the logistics management system and to estimate the availability of essential drug and wastage rate in public health facilities in Sheka Zone. Methodology: The qualitative method was carried out. The study conducted on facility based retrospective evaluation of availability of essential drugs in the previous one year and evaluate the current availability status. The study analyzed using a thematic content analysis approach. Result: According to this study also found wide variations in availability of essential drugs at the time survey were 53.33%. Based on the store keepers response, majority 96(49.2%) of the HCFs stocked out some essential drugs, while 115(59 %) of the HCs Bin card updated within 30 days. On the other hand revenue lost due to expire of the drug in each health was varying and total 1,343,974ETB was notrevolving drug funds that can potentially affect the availability of essential drugsinthepublichealthfacilityinthestudyarea. Conclussions. Preparing written policies or guidelines regarding selection, forecasting and procurement of essential drugs was not given attention. A major problem uniform to all the HCs was not found regarding selection of essential drugs though each HC had its own problem in the selection of essential drugs. The strength of DTC determined the effectiveness of the selection practice in majority of the HCs. Generally, inadequate supply of essential drugs in PFSA affected the logistics of essential drugs with respecttomaintainingthesystemandavailabilityofessentialdrugs.
