description: Σε πολλά πραγματικά δίκτυα, οι σχέσεις μεταξύ των οντοτήτων μπορούν να αναπαρασταθούν με τη βοήθεια προσημασμένων δικτύων. Η υπέρμετρη πόλωση ενός δικτύου συνήθως επιφέρει ανεπιθύμητες συνέπειες και για αυτό το λόγο γίνο- νται προσπάθειες εντοπισμού και καταστολής της. Οι αλγόριθμοι E και RE δίνουν λύσεις στη στατική εκδοχή του προβλήματος της ανίχνευσης των 2 Πολωμένων Κοινοτήτων εφαρμόζοντας ιδιοανάλυση στον πίνακα γειτνίασης. Σε μια προσπά- θεια να επεκτείνουμε το πρόβλημα στο χώρο των δυναμικών δικτύων, προτείνουμε τον αλγόριθμο DSG που χρησιμοποιεί τις ακμές που προστίθενται σταδιακά έτσι ώστε να παρακολουθήσει την εξέλιξη των αρχικών κοινοτήτων
description: In many real-world networks, the relationships among entities can be represented with the help of signed networks. However, excessive polarization in a network can lead to undesired effects and needs to be suppressed. Both algorithms E and RE use spectral analysis on A to solve the static version of the 2 Polarized Communities problem. In an attempt to extend the problem in the setting of temporal networks, we suggest DSG algorithm, which is exploiting the gradually incoming edges in order to track the evolution of the initial communities

Assessment of Knowledge, Attitudeand Practice and Associated Factorson the Prevention of Occupational Health Risks among Solid Waste Collectors in Lideta Sub City, Addis Ababa.
Creators: name: Gebremedhin, Fikrom
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Introduction:Municipal waste is produced as a result of economical productivity and consumption. It includes nonhazardous wastes from households, commercial establishments, institutions, markets, and industries. Municipal solid waste handling and disposal is a growing environmental and public health concern. There is no adequate credible evidence on workers occupational health practices and factors affecting the practice of waste handlers in Addis Ababa which help for designing strategies to address the problem for both government and non-government organizations. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess knowledge, attitude and practice on prevention of occupational risks and associated factors among solid waste collectors in Lideta sub-city, A.A. Methods: A cross sectional quantitative study was employed to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice and associated factors on occupational health risks among solid waste collectors in Lideta sub-city Addis Ababa from March to April 2013. All 427 solid waste collectors found in Lideta sub-city are included in the study. Structured pretestedquestionnaire and observational checklist has been used for data collection. The data was entered, cleaned, edited and analyzed by using epi info 3.5.1 and spss 16 version statistics software. Results:The response rate of this study was 94.4% and female respondents accounted 69.7%. The median age of the study subjects was 35 years (ranging from 17 to 65 years). 64% of study participants had good knowledge on preventing occupational health risks. 76.4% of solid waste collectors had good attitude and only 8.9% had good practice on preventing occupational health risks. Job dissatisfaction is statistically significant factor for failing to have good practice among Lideta sub-city solid waste collectors. Conclusion: The magnitude of having good practice on preventing occupational health risks among solid waste collectors in Lideta sub city is very low. So, implementation of basic occupational health services with provision of personal protective equipments and supervising solid waste collectors on appropriate utilization is advisable

description: Recent developments in fundamental physics (in theory as well as in technology) provide novel capabilities for geodetic applications such as refined observations of the Earth`s gravity field. We will focus on two new concepts: one applies atomic interferometry for (satellite) gravimetry, the other uses clock measurements for observing potential values. In the first case, gravity anomalies are determined by observing free-falling atoms (quantum gravimetry), such technique can also be applied for future gradiometric measurements in space. In the second case according to Einstein`s theory of general relativity, frequency comparisons of highly precise optical clocks give access to differences of the gravity potential, even over long distances (relativistic geodesy). Also laser interferometry between test masses in space with nanometer accuracy belongs to these novel concepts. For the latter, technology developed for gravitational wave detection and successfully tested in the LISA/pathfinder mission is being prepared for geodetic measurements. Those concepts are recently elaborated in close cooperation between physicists and geodesists at the University of Hannover under the umbrella of the Collaborative Research Center SFB 1128 Relativistic geodesy and gravimetry with quantum sensors (geo-Q). We will give a few examples where geodesy will potentially benefit from these novel developments and show future perspectives.

description: Novae are nuclear explosions that occur on white dwarf stars when they accrete material from a companion star. These explosions are bright enough to be seen across extra-galactic distances and enrich the local gas with a unique mixture of elements. For example, we now understand that almost all the lithium in the solar system was probably formed in nova explosions, a conclusion supported by the work conducted in my thesis. In my thesis, I study populations of novae in real stellar environments using a purely theoretical approach, making predictions for nova rates, distributions, and nucleosynthesis contributions.

Αν και η απομόνωση των πρώτων εκπροσώπων αυτής της οικογένειας χρονολογείται από τη δεκαετία του ‘70, νέες συγγενείς ενώσεις συνεχίζουν να αποκαλύπτονται, συναρπάζοντας την επιστημονική κοινότητα για διάφορους λόγους. Η αρχιτεκτονική πολυπλοκότητα, η ασυνήθιστα υψηλή περιεκτικότητα σε άζωτο, οι δομικές αναθεωρήσεις, η άγνωστη απόλυτη στερεοχημεία είναι μερικές μόνο από τις πτυχές που πρέπει να λάβει κανείς υπόψη κατά τον σχεδιασμό της ολικής σύνθεσης αυτών των αλκαλοειδών. Ορισμένα από τα μόρια αυτά, φέρουν υποσχόμενες βιολογικές δράσεις, όπως αντικαρκινική και αγγειογενετική δράση, καθώς και πολλά υποσχόμενη δράση κατά της νόσου του Alzheimer. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα παραπάνω, σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας υπήρξε η μελέτη της συλλογικής σύνθεσης των PIAs. Συγκεκριμένα, προσπαθήσαμε να βρούμε ένα κοινό ενδιάμεσο που θα μπορούσε να υποστεί οξειδωτικούς μετασχηματισμούς, οδηγώντας σε μονομερή ή/και διμερή μέλη αυτής της οικογένειας φυσικών προϊόντων. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τις υπάρχουσες βιοσυνθετικές εικασίες, υποθέσαμε πως μια ιμιδαζολο-2,5-δικετοπιπεραζίνη θα ήταν το κατάλληλο βασικό ενδιάμεσο. Έτσι, η εργασία μας βασίστηκε στη σύνθεση νέων διπεπτιδικών παραγώγων, που θα μπορούν να κυκλοποιούνται υπό ήπιες συνθήκες, για να δώσουν το επιθυμητό δικετοπιπεραζινικό μόριο
description: The pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids (PIAs) family comprises hundreds of secondary metabolites originating from marine sponges exclusively. Although the isolation of the first representatives of this family dates back to the ‘70s, new relatives continue to be unveiled, fascinating the scientific community for several reasons. Architectural complexity, unusually high nitrogen content, structural revisions, unknown absolute stereochemistry are just some of the dreadful aspects one has to take into account while planning a total synthesis of these alkaloids. Some PIAs are gifted with promising biological activities, such as anticancer and angiogenetic activity, as well as promising activity against Alzheimer’s disease. Keeping this in mind, the purpose of the current project was the study of the collective synthesis of PIAs. In particular, we tried to find a common intermediate that could undergo oxidative transformations leading to monomeric or/and dimeric members of this family of natural products. Considering the existing biosynthetical speculations, we envisioned an imidazole-2,5-diketopiperazine to be the suitable key intermediate. Thus, our work relied on synthesizing new dipeptide derivatives that could be cyclisized under mild conditions, to give the desired DKP molecule

description: Introduction: Menstrual hygiene management is essentially dealing with menstrual flow and also in continuing regular activities like going to school, working etc. However, menstruation can place significant obstacles in girls' access to health, education and future prospects if they are not equipped for effective menstrual hygiene management. Objective: To assess the menstrual hygiene management and its determinant among adolescent girls in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: Cross-sectional study design with quantitative method was carried out among 770 systematically selected adolescent school girls of Addis Ababa from April 1 to May 5, 2017. A self-administered pre-test close ended Amharic questionnaire at school setting was used for data collection. The coding was done using the original English version and entered to EPI-7 software. The quantitative file exported to statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 25.0 software for analysis. Total mean score was used to categorize individuals as good and poor while AOR; 95% CI with p < 0.05 was used to determine factors of menstrual hygiene management practice. Result: This study had 98% response rate. Five hundred thirty (70.1%) and 388(51.3%) respondents had good knowledge and practice of menstrual hygiene respectively. The findings also showed a significant positive association between good knowledge of menstrual hygiene management and girls from mother's whose education were secondary (AOR = 10.012, 95 % CI = 3.628-27.629). Fifth wealth index quantile (AOR = 9.038, 95 % CI = 3.728-21.909) revealed significant positive association with good practice of menstrual hygiene. Conclusion and recommendation Majority of participants had good knowledge of menstrual hygiene and majority of them were from private school. Although knowledge was better than practice, girls should be educated about the process, use of proper pads or absorbents and its proper disposal. Key Words: practices of menstrual hygiene, Menstrual knowledge, adolescent girl, Sanitary napkins, Menarche, school health.

Συγκεκριμένα η έρευνά μου επικεντρώθηκε σε τέσσερα Λογοτεχνικά κείμενα όπου αποκαλύφθηκαν καταπιεσμένες υποκειμενικότητες ως υποχείρια του Πατριαρχικού Λόγου. Αποκαλύφθηκε ότι το κοινωνικό status quo κατασκεύαζε τις γυναικείες υποκειμενικότητες ως άβουλες και έγκλειστες μέσα στο οικογενειακό περιβάλλον και τις ανδρικές υποκειμενικότητες ως ελεύθερες και ιεραρχικά ανώτερες. Στα συγκεκριμένα Λογοτεχνικά κείμενα που μελέτησα φυσικοποιούνταν η άσκηση άμεσης και δομικής βίας από τον άνδρα προς την ιδιοκτησία του (γυναίκα και παιδιά). Παράλληλα τα κείμενα αυτά ασκούν πολιτισμική βία στους καταναλωτές και καταναλώτριες μαθητές και μαθήτριες των βιβλίων φυσικοποιώντας τον μετασχηματισμένο Πατριαρχικό Λόγο ως σχολικό πλέον λόγο
description: The purpose of my research is to analyze the construction of gender identities in the textbooks of Modern Greek Literature of the High School. Specifically, my research focused on four Literary texts where repressed subjectivities were revealed as subordinates of the Patriarchal Discourse. It was revealed that the social status quo constructed female subjectivities as helpless and confined within the family environment and male subjectivities as free and hierarchically superior. In the specific Literary texts that I studied, the direct and structural violence which the man act against his property (wife and children) was naturalized. At the same time, these texts act cultural violence on “consumers” students of books, naturalizing the transformed Patriarchal Discourse as a school discourse
Statistical connection of peak counts to power spectrum and moments in weak lensing field

description: The number density of local maxima of weak lensing field, referred to as weak-lensing peak counts, can be used as a cosmological probe. However, its relevant cosmological information is still unclear. We study the relationship between the peak counts and other statistics in weak lensing field by using 1000 ray-tracing simulations. We construct a local transformation of lensing field $\cal K$ to a new Gaussian field $y$, named local-Gaussianized transformation. We calibrate the transformation with numerical simulations so that the one-point distribution and the power spectrum of $\cal K$ can be reproduced from a single Gaussian field $y$ and monotonic relation between $y$ and $\cal K$. Therefore, the correct information of two-point clustering and any order of moments in weak lensing field should be preserved under local-Gaussianized transformation. We then examine if local-Gaussianized transformation can predict weak-lensing peak counts in simulations. The local-Gaussianized transformation is insufficient to explain weak-lensing peak counts in the absence of shape noise. The prediction by local-Gaussianized transformation underestimates the simulated peak counts with a level of $\sim20-30\%$ over a wide range of peak heights. Local-Gaussianized transformation can predict the weak-lensing peak counts with a $\sim10\%$ accuracy in the presence of shape noise. Our analyses suggest that the cosmological information beyond power spectrum and its moments would be necessary to predict the weak-lensing peak counts with a percent-level accuracy, which is an expected statistical uncertainty in upcoming wide-field galaxy surveys.

description: We show there are analogues to the Unruh temperature that can be defined for any quantum field theory and region of the space. These local temperatures are defined using relative entropy with localized excitations. We show important restrictions arise from relative entropy inequalities and causal propagation between Cauchy surfaces. These suggest a large amount of universality for local temperatures, specially the ones affecting null directions. For regions with any number of intervals in two space-time dimensions the local temperatures might arise from a term in the modular Hamiltonian proportional to the stress tensor. We argue this term might be universal, with a coefficient that is the same for any theory, and check analytically and numerically this is the case for free massive scalar and Dirac fields. In dimensions $d\ge 3$ the local terms in the modular Hamiltonian producing these local temperatures cannot be formed exclusively from the stress tensor. For a free scalar field we classify the structure of the local terms.

Creators: name: Mekonnen, Amsalu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background: In developing counties, disease-associated with poor water still have considerable public health and socio-economic development importance. Water of poor quality can cause water borne diseases by bacteria, viruses, protozoa and parasites. It has been frequently described responsible for millions morbidity and mortality. Therefore, quality and safety status of municipal drinking water of Addis Ababa should be regularly monitored in sustainable manner. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the bacteriological and parasitological quality and safety status of treated and non-treated municipal drinking water sources in Addis Ababa City. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out on drinking water sources such as public taps, reservoirs, springs and wells managed by Addis Ababa Water and Sewerage Authority (AAWSA). 125ml drinking water of each 2951 samples were collected from water sources and analyzed for bacteriological by Presence/ Absence (P-A) culturing method and 11L drinking water of each were collected from 25 selected reservoirs for parasites identification by direct microscopy. Results: This study revealed that there were 10% of all samples were positive for bacteriological parameters done by presence-absence method. Consequently, 7% and 3% were positive for total coliforms and faecal coliforms respectively. The bacterial distribution trend from 1 to 13 weeks of the first to end of wet season showed a slight increment of total coliforms. Inversely, there was a slight decrement for faecal coli forms. On the other hand, all parasitological tested samples from selected reservoirs were free from intestinal parasites. Conclusion: Samples collected from municipal drinking water sources were positive for fecal coli forms, total coli forms organisms and indicator bacterial species during the study period. It needs continuous screening and treating water sources to utmost important for prevention and control of infectious diseases caused by water transmitted pathogen microorganisms. Therefore, regular and timely research on bacteriology and parasitology is mandatory to overcome crisis resulted from poor water quality. Key words: Presence-Absence test, faecal coliforms, total coliforms, municipal drinking water quality and safety.
title: The influence of CEO leadership on organizational learning in internationalizing high-tech companies in China
Creators: name: Wu, Fan
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: This research explores how CEO leadership affects the learning process of internationalizing high-tech companies. There has been a growing recognition of the role of leadership in the international learning process. For example, scholars have discussed the influence of several factors, such as leaders’ cognition, decision-making style, and entrepreneurship, on international learning process. Moreover, CEO leadership has been treated as an important factor that can affect a company’s organizational learning. However, very few studies have discussed the role of leadership in the organizational learning process of companies’ internationalization. Based on a review of existing research gaps in the role of leadership in organizational and international learning literature, this research seeks to gain rich insights into how leadership influences organizational learning in high-tech companies’ internationalizing in the Chinese context. This research focused on two common leadership styles in China, authoritarian leadership and empowering leadership. These two leadership styles can be explained through Chinese traditional philosophy and from the lens of power, authoritarian leadership and empowering leadership are deserved to be compared. This research adopts a qualitative approach based on 8 case studies of Chinese high-tech internationalizing companies. Semi-structured interviews with the CEO and at least two senior managers were carried out in each case. This research contributes to international learning process literature. CEO leadership is proposed as a key factor that can influence each construct associated with the international learning process and cause different international learning processes. This research also contributes to both leadership and internationalization literature as it uses organizational learning as a bridge linking leadership and internationalization. Different leadership styles could cause different internationalization outcomes in performance and management perspectives due to different international learning processes. Moreover, CEO leadership could be changed during companies’ internationalization process.

description: We propose a new approach to the LHC dark matter search analysis within the effective field theory (EFT) framework by utilising the K-matrix unitarisation formalism. This approach provides a reasonable estimate of the dark matter production cross section at high energies, and hence allows reliable bounds to be placed on the cut-off scale of relevant operators without running into the problem of perturbative unitarity violation. We exemplify this procedure for the effective operator D5 in monojet dark matter searches in the collinear approximation. We compare our bounds to those obtained using the truncation method and identify a parameter region where the unitarisation prescription leads to more stringent bounds.

description: Im Dritten Sektor werden allgemein bisher nicht erschlossene Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten vermutet. Schlagworte wie "Neues Ehrenamt", "Bürgerarbeit" oder "Volunteering" kennzeichnen die Suche nach "brachliegendem" Humankapital. Als Musterbeispiel des organisierten "Volunteering" gelten die USA. Aber auch innerhalb der Europäischen Union wurde im letzten Jahrzehnt die Bewirtschaftung des "Engagementpotentials als arbeitsmarktpolitisches Regulativ forciert. Am Beispiel der aktuellen Diskussionen über den Beitrag zivilgesellschaftlicher Arbeit zur Erhaltung der demokratischen Ordnung wird untersucht, wie die Selbstregulationsfähigkeit von Individuen und Gruppen mit ökonomischer Profitmaximierung und gesellschaftspolitischen Zielen verknüpft werden. Der Beitrag geht davon aus, dass in den Debatten um den Stellenwert sozialer Anerkennung von unbezahlter Arbeit gleichermaßen ein neues Subjekt der Arbeit konstruiert wurde, darin wirtschaftli-cher Wohlstand und persönliches Wohlsein miteinander gekoppelt sein sollen. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung steht die Untersuchung der Genese und der argumentativen Rechtfertigung der Beziehungen zwischen dem Abbau sozialstaatlicher Leistungen und dem zunehmenden Appell an "Eigenverantwortung" und "Selbstsorge".
description: Occupational opportunities not yet developed are generally expected in the third sector. Catchwords such as "New Honorary Post", "Non-profit labour", "Volunteering" characterize the search for "wasted" human capital. The USA are a classic example of organized volunteering. However, within the last decade, the European Community has also optimized the cultivation of peoples commitment as a factor for regulating working and job market policies respectively. This article points out how the capacity of self-regulation of individuals and communities is combined with special economic targets e.g. to increase the profit rate of enterprises and the wealth of nations respectively. This contribution proceeds the assumption that the discussions on the rating of social appreciation for unpaid work produces a new subject of work that combines prosperity and personal satisfaction. Therefore, this analysis will focus on the development of as well as the reasons of justification for the relationship between the reduction of public welfare and the appeal to personal responsibility and concern.

description: Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) simulations produce meteorological data in various spatial and temporal scales, depending on the application requirements. In the current study, a deep learning approach, based on convolutional autoencoders, is explored to effectively correct the error of the NWP simulation. An undercomplete convolutional autoencoder (CAE) is applied as part of the dynamic error correction of NWP data. This work is an attempt to improve the seasonal forecast (3–6 months ahead) data accuracy for Greece using a global reanalysis dataset (that incorporates observations, satellite imaging, etc.) of higher spatial resolution. More specifically, the publically available Meteo France Seasonal (Copernicus platform) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Final Analysis (FNL) (NOAA) datasets are utilized. In addition, external information is used as evidence transfer, concerning the time conditions (month, day, and season) and the simulation characteristics (initialization of simulation). It is found that convolutional autoencoders help to improve the resolution of the seasonal data and successfully reduce the error of the NWP data for 6-months ahead forecasting. Interestingly, the month evidence yields the best agreement indicating a seasonal dependence of the performance.

description: This paper is the second of a series that describes some of the main dataset resources presently shared through the GEOSS Platform. The GEOSS Platform was created as the technological tool to implement interoperability among the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS); it is a brokering infrastructure that presently brokers more than 190 autonomous data catalogs and information systems. This paper is focused on the analysis of the NextGEOSS datasets describing the data publishing process from NextGEOSS to the GEOSS platform. In particular, both the administrative registration and the technical registration were taken into consideration. One of the most important data shared by the GEOSS Platform are the NextGEOSS datasets: the present study provides some insights in terms of GEOSS user searches for NextGEOSS data.

description: Ausgehend von theoretischen Überlegungen zum Thema Selbstkonzept dokumentiert die vorliegende Arbeit ein qualitatives Entwicklungsprojekt zur Stärkung des Selbstkonzeptes von Kindern in der Eingangsstufe. Ein positives Selbstkonzept unterstützt ein Kind in der Entwicklung der eigenen Persönlichkeit sowie der Arbeit im schulischen Bereich und darüber hinaus. Ob und wieweit die Zielsetzungen, die für die Klasse und für Schüler mit besonderem Förderbedarf formuliert wurden, durch die Unterrichtseinheiten erreicht werden konnten, wird mit einer Evaluation der Fremd- und Selbsteinschätzung überprüft. Ziel des Entwicklungsprojektes ist es, das Selbstkonzept der Kinder während einer Pädagogisierungsphase zu stärken und ihnen einen Weg aufzuzeigen, wie sie ihren Schulalltag erfolgreich und motiviert erleben können. Die daraus entstandenen Implikationen für die heilpädagogische Förderung werden aufgezeigt. Die Datenerhebung erfolgt anhand der Methode des Leitfadeninterviews und des Fragebogens. Aufgrund der Ergebnisse kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass das Selbstkonzept der Kinder mit gezielten Methoden unterstützt werden kann.

description: Background: Breast cancer has been a worldwide public health problem and it is the most common cancer in women both in the developed and less developed countries. Public and individual awareness can play a vital role in the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of adult women clients (20-49 years of age) towards breast cancer screening in health centers of Addis Ababa, 2015. Methods: A cross-sectional facility based quantitative study complemented by qualitative (in-depth interview) study was conducted on a total of 633 women clients who came to selected health centers for maternal and child health services. Data was collected from January 1stto 30thFebruary, 2015. For quantitative data Epi-Info version 7and SPSS Version 21 were used for data entry and analysis, respectively. Cross tabulation of each independent variable with the dependent variable with their 95% confidence interval was done to see if there was any association between them. Those variables associated at binary logistic regression with a significance level of 0.2 were entered into multiple logistic regression to identify determinants by controlling possible confounding effect. The transcribed and translated qualitative data were imported into an Open Code program and coded, categorized, thematically described and the emerged themes were included in the final thesis report. Results: Overall 53% of women have heard about breast cancer and35.5% knew at least one breast cancer screening method. While among women who were informed of breast cancer, 97% of theme indicated that screening improves chance of survival. Generally among the common screening methods; self-breast examination, clinical-breast examination and mammographic examination were practiced by 24.3%, 7.6% and 3.8% of respondents, respectively. Factors like family history of breast illnesses, income, educational status, general knowledge of breast cancer were highly associated with the knowledge, attitude and practices of breast cancer screening. Socio-cultural factors, lack of attention and facilities patient load were among the dominant factors raised by qualitative interviewee. Conclusion and Recommendation: This study has revealed that self-reported breast cancer screening coverage is low. About two-third of studied women had no information of breast cancer screening methods. There is a need to design and implement awareness creation program on screening for breast cancer. Different print and mass media can be engaged in teaching women to undergo regular breast cancer screening for early identification and intervention.

description: We investigate how observations of the lepton flavor violating decay of the Higgs boson ($h \to \ell\ell^\prime$) can narrow down models of neutrino mass generation mechanisms, which were systematically studied in Refs. [1,2] by focusing on the combination of new Yukawa coupling matrices with leptons. We find that a wide class of models for neutrino masses can be excluded if evidence for $h \to \ell\ell^\prime$ is really obtained in the current or future collider experiments. In particular, simple models of Majorana neutrino masses cannot be compatible with the observation of $h \to \ell\ell^\prime$. It is also found that some of the simple models to generate masses of Dirac neutrinos radiatively can be compatible with a significant rate of the $h \to \ell\ell^\prime$ process.

description: We consider the two block stochastic block model on $n$ nodes with asymptotically equal cluster sizes. The connection probabilities within and between cluster are denoted by $p_n:=\frac{a_n}{n}$ and $q_n:=\frac{b_n}{n}$ respectively. Mossel et al.(2012) considered the case when $a_n=a$ and $b_n=b$ are fixed. They proved the probability models of the stochastic block model and that of Erd{ö}s-R{é}nyi graph with same average degree are mutually contiguous whenever $(a-b)^2<2(a+b)$ and are asymptotically singular whenever $(a-b)^2>2(a+b)$. Mossel et al.(2012) also proved that when $(a-b)^2<2(a+b)$ no algorithm is able to find an estimate of the labeling of the nodes which is positively correlated with the true labeling. It is natural to ask what happens when $a_n$ and $b_n$ both grow to infinity. We prove that their results extend to the case when $a_n=o(n)$ and $b_n=o(n)$. We also consider the case when $\frac{a_n}{n} \to p \in (0,1)$ and $(a_n-b_n)^2= Θ(a_n+b_n)$. Observe that in this case $\frac{b_n}{n} \to p$ also. We show that here the models are mutually contiguous if $(a_n-b_n)^2< 2(1-p)(a_n+b_n)$ and they are asymptotically singular if $(a_n-b_n)^2 > 2(1-p)(a_n+b_n)$. Further we also prove it is impossible find an estimate of the labeling of the nodes which is positively correlated with the true labeling whenever $(a_n-b_n)^2< 2(1-p)(a_n+b_n)$. The results of this paper justify the negative part of a conjecture made in Decelle et al.(2011) for dense graphs.

description: Introduction: Despite the increase in contraceptive use worldwide over the last decade, there is still discrepancy in the need to limit birth and utilization of modern contraceptives specifically long acting and permanent contraception methods in sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia. Intention to use long acting and permanent methods of contraception is an important indicator of the potential demand for family planning services. Objective: To assess intention to use long acting and permanent contraceptive methods and factors affecting it among married women in the reproductive age group in Adigrat town Method: A quantitative cross sectional study design complemented by qualitative method was conducted. The total 594 sample size was proportionally allocated to each of the three selected kebeles. Systematic random sampling was used to reach at the study subjects. Structured questionnaire and guides were used for the quantitative and qualitative method respectively. Data was entered in to Epi Info version 3.5.1 and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 16. Multivariate logistic regression was done to control effect of confounders. Open code software was used to carry out content analysis of the qualitative data. Result: Intention to use LAPMs was 48.4%. The main reasons for not intending to use were fear of side effect and infertility after use. Participants perception on husbands support for LAPMs use (AOR=0.2, 95% CI=0.09, 0.45) and LAPMs can harm the womb (AOR=0.24, 95% CI=0.14, 0.41), knowledge of LAPMs (AOR=4.7, 95% CI=1.58, 14.01) were significantly associated with intention to use LAPMs. Desire to have birth within the next 2 years (AOR=1.9, 95% CI=1.22, 3.13), ideal desired number of children (AOR=0.7, 95% CI=0.62, 0.88), partner's education and participants occupation status were also significantly associated with intention. Conclusion: The magnitude of intention to use LAPMs in the study area was low. The main limiting factors were fear of side effect and infertility after LAPMs use, knowledge on LAPMs and perception on partner's support. This needs more effort from the family planning providers and program facilitators to address misconceptions that exist about LAPMs and highlight the benefits of LAPMs and not only women but also their spouses should be included in family planning programs.

description: A longstanding question in the study of energy demand concerns the role of information as a determinant of home-efficiency improvements. Although the provision of information via home energy audits is frequently asserted to be an effective means for governments to encourage the implementation of efficiency-enhancing renovations,empirical support for this assertion is tenuous at best. Two factors have complicated attempts to measure the effect of audits: first, the nature of the information provided by the audit is typically unobserved, and, second, the response to this information may vary over households. Using household-level data from Germany, we address both sources of heterogeneity by estimating a random-parametermodel of four retrofitting alternatives. In addition to confirming the importance of costs and savings as determinants of renovation choices, our results suggest that the effects of consultancy vary substantially across households, with some households responding negatively to the provision of information.
