Customers Bank Selection Criteria in the Case of Selected Private Commercial Banks in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Tekletsadik, Dawit
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2013

description: Commercial banks need to identify the criteria on which potential customers determine their bank selection decision in order to plan an appropriate marketing strategy for keeping present customers and attracting new ones. Consequently, the identification of factors deemed important to potential bank customers is a crucial step towards winning the battle. Therefore this study is particularly intended to examine basic motivational factors of customer's bank selection criteria of private commercial banks in Addis Ababa and how customers rank the factors based on their importance level to patronize banks and banking services. It also intended to present an analysis of demographic nature of the customer in the relative importance of choice criteria in respect of selecting a bank and to elicit the opinion of bank customers on any extra services needed to be offered by banks. In this study the researcher used both quantitative as well as qualitative analysis. The Data required for this study collected from two sources; these are primary and secondary sources. The primary data is collected through structured questionnaires. The secondary data are from any published as well as unpublished sources. The sampling method used to select customers was a systematic random sampling. The sample size of the study was 120 customers. The data collected through questionnaire were analyzed by using SPSS and apply a factor analysis identify the major factors affecting customers bank selection criteria. In addition an independent T test and one way ANOVA is used to test if there is a selection factor difference exists between the demographic natures of the customers. The findings revealed that the chief factors determining customers' bank selection are: "Convenience" "Reliability" and "Service provision" for the entire customers. On the reverse, the least three important factors of bank selection for customers are "Product Assortment" "Reputation" and "Recommendation from family and friends". In addition this study also revealed that there is a significant difference between the demographic characteristic of respondents and their bank selection process.

description: DESP-C++ is a C++ discrete-event random simulation engine that has been designed to be fast, very easy to use and expand, and valid. DESP-C++ is based on the resource view. Its complete architecture is presented in detail, as well as a short " user manual ". The validity of DESP-C++ is demonstrated by the simulation of three significant models. In each case, the simulation results obtained with DESP-C++ match those obtained with a validated simulation software: QNAP2. The versatility of DESP-C++ is also illustrated this way, since the modelled systems are very different from each other: a simple production system, the dining philosopher classical deadlock problem, and a complex object-oriented database management system.

description: Der Beitrag beleuchtet die theorie- und forschungsstrategischen Grundlagen der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zu "Frauen in Führungspositionen". Häufig ist noch eine Perspektive der Forschung anzutreffen, die auf Grund der konstant kleinen Zahlen von Frauen in Führungspositionen eine problematische Beziehung von "Frauen und Führung" bereits von vornherein unterstellt und die kreativ-gestaltenden Dimensionen außer Acht lässt. Dies liegt teils am häufig verwendeten Geschlechtsrollen-Ansatz, aber auch an der vielfach noch anzutreffenden Gleichsetzung von betrieblicher und Geschlechterhierarchie. Der Beitrag diskutiert sodann einige neuere Konzepte aus der Diskussion um "Geschlecht und Organisation" und schließt mit einem Plädoyer für die stärkere Beachtung alters-, branchen- und nationalspezifischer Differenzen, um den Blick für sich langsam abzeichnende Veränderungen zu öffnen.
description: The paper is focused on the basic theoretical and research strategies that scholarly debates have developed to discuss the topic of "women in leadership positions". It is shown that a research perspective is prevailing that tales the persistingly small numbers of female leaders as an opportunity to presuppose a problematic relationship between "women" and "leadership", neglecting dimension of creation and active structuring that are also present in this relation. Partially, this is a consequence of the concept of gender-roles, underpinning a large amount of literature in this field, but the equating of gender hierarchy and organizational hierarchy is also contributing to this picture. Some recent trends in the debate upon "gender and organization" are discussed and, finally, it is argued that differences in age, branches and national conditions have to be taken into account in order to rise attention to changes that have, though slowly, come along.

description: Impulsivity is a multidimensional construct that plays a crucial role in human behaviour and is believed to be a transdiagnostic marker of several psychiatric disorders. However, given its multifaceted nature, comprehensive investigations of its neural correlates are challenging. In this study, we used a multi-modal approach to investigate the functional network organisation of two domains in which impulsivity manifests: decision-making and action control. Within domain ALE meta-analyses identified two distinct functional systems: one located in the default-mode network, associated with value-based judgments and goal-directed decision-making, and the other distributed across higher-order networks associated with cognitive control. These systems were organised into four specialised communities of default-mode, cingulo-insular, frontoparietal, and temporal regions. Integration within those communities was associated with serotonin receptor density. These findings reinforce insights from previous behavioural research and provide substantial evidence for the multidimensional nature of impulsivity on the neural level.

description: We present the discovery and first three months of follow-up observations of a currently on-going unusual transient detected by the OGLE-IV survey, located in the centre of a galaxy at redshift z=0.1655. The long rise to absolute magnitude of -20.5 mag, slow decline, very broad He and H spectral features make OGLE16aaa similar to other optical/UV Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs). Weak narrow emission lines in the spectrum and archival photometric observations suggest the host galaxy is a weak-line Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN), which has been accreting at higher rate in the past. OGLE16aaa, along with SDSS J0748, seems to form a sub-class of TDEs by weakly or recently active super-massive black holes (SMBHs). This class might bridge the TDEs by quiescent SMBHs and flares observed as "changing-look QSOs", if we interpret the latter as TDEs. If this picture is true, the previously applied requirement for identifying a flare as a TDE that it had to come from an inactive nucleus, could be leading to observational bias in TDE selection, thus affecting TDE-rate estimations.

description: Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease that has long been one of the major health problems. It affects individuals of all ages and both sexes. Poverty, malnutrition and over-crowded living conditions have been known for decades to increase the risk of developing the disease .Extra pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is an important clinical problem defined as the isolated occurrence of tuberculosis in any part of the body other than lungs. Aim of the study is to determine the Prevalence of EPTB Cases in children. Objectives: Prevalence of Extra pulmonary Tuberculosis and Rifampicin Resistant in children at selected health facilities of South West Shewa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia Materials and Methods: A crossectional study was conducted from December 20, 2017- April 26 2018. A total of 416 samples (Pleural, Gastric lavage, CSF, Pus, Peritoneal fluid, Lymph node aspirate, Synovial fluid, and Ascitic fluids ) from patients with signs and symptoms of suggestive of tuberculosis at St.luke,Tullubolo,Ameya,Atat hospitals and Woliso, Dilela Health centers from December 20,20171, 2018 to April 26 25,2018 were recruited by consecutive sampling method. Extra pulmonary Tuberculosis samples were tested directly by Xpert MTB/RIF assay and MGIT and those extra pulmonary suspected samples were cultured for isolation and drug sensitivity testing of TB bacilli. Results with contaminated cultures (for both LJ and MGIT) were excluded from analysis. Data entry and analysis was done using SPSS statistical software version 20. Result: Out of 416 body fluid specimens, 15.8% (66/416) were positive for MTB using Xpert MTB/RIF assay and no specimen were exhibited as a resistance to RIF. 10.57% 44/397) cases of Xpert MTB/RIF assay positive were MGIT positive, 3.12% (13/416) cases of Xpert MTB /RIF assay positive were MGIT negative and 2.2% (9/416) cases of Xpert MTB/RIF assay negative were MGIT positive .The most crucial risk factor that was significantly associated with extra pulmonary tuberculosis infection in this study was HIV. Conclusion: There was a significant difference between GeneXpert results compared with Culture results. A significant proportion of EPTB cases were also co-infected with HIV.A more accurate test could contribute EPTB case detection, and thus reducing the morbidity and mortality

description: Anisotropic nanomaterials possess interesting thermal transport properties because they allow orientation of heat fluxes along preferential directions due to a high ratio (up to three orders of magnitude) between their in-plane and cross-plane thermal conductivities. Among different techniques allowing thermal conductivity evaluation, micro-Raman scattering is known to be one of the most efficient contactless measurement approaches. In this letter, a new experimental approach based on Raman scattering measurements with variable laser spot sizes is reported. Correlation between experimental and calculated thermal resistances of one-dimensional nanocrystalline solids allows simultaneous estimation of their in-plane and cross-plane thermal conductivities. In particular, our measurement approach is illustrated to be successfully applied for anisotropic thermal conductivity evaluation of silicon nanowire arrays.

description: We investigate the effects of resonance-continuum interference on the diphoton spectrum in the presence of a new spin-0 or spin-2 state produced via gluons or quarks and decaying to pairs of photons. Interference effects can significantly influence the extraction of resonance masses and widths from the diphoton spectrum, particularly in the case of a spin-2 resonance produced via quarks. We illustrate these effects via a binned likelihood analysis of LHC diphoton data at both 8 and 13 TeV.

description: Electronic exams (e-exams) have the potential to substantially reduce the effort required for conducting an exam through automation. Yet, care must be taken to sacrifice neither task complexity nor constructive alignment nor grading fairness in favor of automation. To advance automation in the design and fair grading of (functional programming) e-exams, we introduce the following: A novel algorithm to check Proof Puzzles based on finding correct sequences of proof lines that improves fairness compared to an existing, edit distance based algorithm; an open-source static analysis tool to check source code for task relevant features by traversing the abstract syntax tree; a higher-level language and open-source tool to specify regular expressions that makes creating complex regular expressions less error-prone. Our findings are embedded in a complete experience report on transforming a paper exam to an e-exam. We evaluated the resulting e-exam by analyzing the degree of automation in the grading process, asking students for their opinion, and critically reviewing our own experiences. Almost all tasks can be graded automatically at least in part (correct solutions can almost always be detected as such), the students agree that an e-exam is a fitting examination format for the course but are split on how well they can express their thoughts compared to a paper exam, and examiners enjoy a more time-efficient grading process while the point distribution in the exam results was almost exactly the same compared to a paper exam.

description: In den meisten frühindustrialisierten Ländern zeigt sich spätestens seit den 80er-Jahren die Problematik hoher Arbeitslosigkeit. Das gilt auch für die Bundesrepublik, insbesondere nach der Vereinigung. Damit ist das sozial-ökonomische Entwicklungsmodell des Fordismus und das mit ihm einhergehende Leitbild der Lohnarbeitsgesellschaft in Frage gestellt. Gleichwohl bleiben subjektive und objektive Funktionen der Erwerbsarbeit für die Individuen und die von ihnen getragenen politischen Gemeinwesen relevant. Im Beitrag werden die aktuellen Strategien zum Abbau von Arbeitslosigkeit vor dem Hintergrund der säkularen Veränderungen in der bundesdeutschen Arbeitsgesellschaft diskutiert. Welche Problemausschnitte liegen einzelnen Strategien zugrunde, und welche arbeits-, sozial- und demokratiepolitischen Implikationen sind mit ihnen verbunden? Welche Probleme müssen bedacht werden, wenn nicht nur Arbeit der Geldökonomie in Betracht gezogen werden soll, sondern das ganze Spektrum menschlicher Tätigkeiten von Männern und Frauen?
description: In most early industrialized countries the problem of high unemployment rates has been prevailing since the eighties. This has also been the case in the Federal Republic of Germany after unification. Consequently, the social-economic development model of fordism together with its vision of salaried society is under serious pressure. Nevertheless, subjective and objective functions of employment for individuals and political communities remain valid. This contribution discusses the actual strategies against unemployment taking into account the secular changes in the German "Arbeitsgesellschaft". What are the analytical assumptions behind the strategies and what are the implications in the realm of labour, social and democratic politics? Which problems have to be reflected if not only work in monetized economy is taken into account but also the entire spectrum of human activities, of men and women?

The proof relies on the structure theorem for these actions recently obtained by Galaz-Garcia and Zarei. We generalize in this way our previous result concerning smooth actions.

description: Background:Infections acquired during health care delivery, are more appropriately called health care-associated infections. The spectrum of health care associated infections ranges from simple common colds to life threatening sepsis with MDR or XDR organism. Objective:The objective of this research was todetermine the incidence rate of healthcare associated infection and associated factors at Adama hospital Medical College. Methods: It was a prospective cohort study techniques and the data collected and analyzed using Epinfo7 and SPSS 20. The patients' clinical conditions were collectedusing structured interview, observation, clinical sampleswereprocessed evaluation and and cultured laboratory on standard methods. The microbiological collected media clinical and the organismidentified using different biochemical tests. For all isolated organism a disk diffusion antibiotic susceptibility test done based on the CLSI guideline (2015). The studywasconducted from February to May 2017 G.C. at Adama hospital medical college, Adama, Ethiopia. Results: The pooled incident rates of health care associated infection at Adama hospital were 9.7 case /1000 persons-days with a 95% CI (7.1, 12.9). Moreover, the Incident rate of surgical site infection, cather associated urinary tract infection, catheter associated blood stream infection, ventilator associated pneumonia, non surgical skin break infection, and antibiotic associated diarrhea were 10.4, 60.2,1.4, 14.1,73.5 and 0.6case per 1000 persons-days, respectively. About 90.2% of the infection wasdue to gram-negative bacteria, among these bacteria, E.coli,Citrobacter fruindi,Proteus mirabilis, Klebsella pneumoniaand Pseudomonas aeroginosa were the most frequent isolate organism.The antibiotic profile of these organisms were varies as the site of infection varies. Citrobacter fruindiiand E.coliwere the most drug resistance bacteria.Based on their resistance characteristic 53.9%of E.coli, and 50% of C.fruindiiwere multidrug resistance (MDR)andP.mirabiliswas the most susceptible organism for antibiotics.Generally, patients with HCAI, the average length of stays and health service cost increased by 2.1 and 2.8 time than non-infected patients, respectively. Conclusion: The major risk factor for HCAI in Adama hospital were, surgery, non-surgical skin break, using of urinary catheter, and ventilator. Patients pains due to HCAI inflated by the presence of renal disease, diabetics, and major surgery. Keyword: HCAI, SSI, CAUTI,x CABSI, VAP, NSSBI,MDR

description: We study charged lepton flavor-violating (LFV) transitions in the color octet model that generates neutrino mass and lepton mixing at one loop. By taking into account neutrino oscillation data and assuming octet particles of TeV scale mass, we examine the feasibility to detect these transitions in current and future experiments. We find that for general values of parameters the branching ratios for LFV decays of the Higgs and $Z$ bosons are far below current and even future experimental bounds. For LFV transitions of the muon, the present bounds can be satisfied generally, while future sensitivities could distinguish between the singlet and triplet color-octet fermions. The triplet case could be ruled out by future $μ-e$ conversion in nuclei, and for the singlet case the conversion and the decays $μ\to 3e,~eγ$ play complementary roles in excluding relatively low mass regions of the octet particles.

Procedure, Practice and Problems of Procurement in the Government Office: The Case of Arada Sub city
Creators: name: Ambachew, G/Wold
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Procurement is a means by which an organization acquire good and services in a scientific manner. In Ethiopia More than two third or 64 percent of the organization annual budget is spend through procurement (MOFED, 2011). Every activity of the organization, either service or goods provider, is highly attached with the procured product. Thus, failure of the procurement unit has a direct impact on the failure of all other department. This thesis tried to study the procedure, practice, problems of procurement in government office of Arad sub city. It assessed the procurement department, the satisfaction of the user department, the challenges faced by the procurement department and the adverse effect of the perception towards the department. For the accomplishment of this, the study employed descriptive design in which the selection of respondents were carried out by using purposive sampling technique. 15 employees are considered as a sample unit. Furthermore, interview has made with the procurement support team leader, from the procurement Core Process procurement head and procurement officer, who has more than 10 years of experience. Both primary and secondary data are used. The finding of the study reveals that the procurement department has its own procedure but it is not well practiced in accordance with stated principles. The finding reveals that ill planning, delaying and unplanned purchasing are the challenge that affected the practice and procedure of the procurement processes Besides this, even if the department performed well in the area of purchasing based on specification with the right quantity and price, the department poor performance is shown in the area of procuring with the right quality and time. The researcher recommended to the planning departments should consider the mismatch between the plan and purchasing time. Beside this, coordination between planning, procurement department and other departments should be boosted.

description: We present Global MOdel for the radio Sky Spectrum (GMOSS) -- a novel, physically motivated model of the low-frequency radio sky from 22 MHz to 23 GHz. GMOSS invokes different physical components and associated radiative processes to describe the sky spectrum over 3072 pixels of $5^{\circ}$ resolution. The spectra are allowed to be convex, concave or of more complex form with contributions from synchrotron emission, thermal emission and free-free absorption included. Physical parameters that describe the model are optimized to best fit four all-sky maps at 150 MHz, 408 MHz, 1420 MHz and 23 GHz and two maps at 22 MHz and 45 MHz generated using the Global Sky Model of de Oliveira-Costa et al. (2008). The fractional deviation of model to data has a median value of $6\%$ and is less than $17\%$ for $99\%$ of the pixels. Though aimed at modeling of foregrounds for the global signal arising from the redshifted 21-cm line of Hydrogen during Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization (EoR) - over redshifts $150\lesssim z \lesssim 6$, GMOSS is well suited for any application that requires simulating spectra of the low-frequency radio sky as would be observed by the beam of any instrument. The complexity in spectral structure that naturally arises from the underlying physics of the model provides a useful expectation for departures from smoothness in EoR foreground spectra and hence may guide the development of algorithms for EoR signal detection. This aspect is further explored in a subsequent paper.

description: Starting from an abstract elementary class with no maximal models, Shelah and Villaveces have shown (assuming instances of diamond) that categoricity implies a superstability-like property for a certain independence relation called nonsplitting. We generalize their result as follows: given an abstract notion of independence for Galois (orbital) types over models, we derive that the notion satisfies a superstability property provided that the class is categorical and satisfies a weakening of amalgamation. This extends the Shelah-Villaveces result (the independence notion there was splitting) as well as a result of the first and second author where the independence notion was coheir. The argument is in ZFC and fills a gap in the Shelah-Villaveces proof.

An Assessment of the Effectiveness of Competitive Strategies of Private Commercial Banks in Ethiopia: The Case of Dashen Bank and Awash International Bank
Creators: name: Kifle, Tilahun
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: The banking industry has been facing strong challenges due to competition. After the establishment of private banks in the country, the industry has been characterized by adoption of modern technology and huge branch expansion. What is more is that the sector is highly regulated by the government through the central bank known as "National Bank of Ethiopia". The banks are therefore under pressure to sustain their competitive position. This situation has, therefore, entailed the banks to design their competitive strategies in a manner to enable them become superior performers in their industry. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the generic competitive strategies adopted by Awash International Bank and Dashen Bank. The research also tries to describe the effect of generic strategies adopted by the banks under study on their performance. A case study design was used to undertake the research. The target population for the study was management staff of both banks located in Addis Abeba. The research used a structured questionnaire to collect primary data. The research also used secondary source documents in reviewing the actual performance of the banks under study to assess the effectiveness of the generic strategies on their performance. The data gathered then analyzed using descriptive statistics based on summarized comparisons using percentages, ratios with the help of a computational software SPSS. The findings of this study have suggested that the banks under study are facing challenges due to competition and the majority of the respondents indicated that their bank applied generic strategy to mitigate the challenge. The findings also indicated that the two banks account for one third of the private banks market share in terms of total asset, net income and paid up capital. According to the research findings the significant challenges identified while implementing competitive strategies were growing needs of customers, imitation of banking services, unethical move and loss of skilled employees to competitors. The findings show a significant relationship between the strategies adopted by Awash International Bank and Dashen Bank vis a vis the their performances with respect to the following performance indicators: total asset growth as compared to the industry growth, net income growth as compared to the industry growth, earnings per share as compared to the industry earnings per share. The outcome of the study revealed that there is a positive association between the adopted competitive strategies and performance. The banks under study need to pursue mixed generic strategy to have a better performance. Key Words: Generic Strategies and Performance

The decay $η\to 3 π$: study of the Dalitz plot and extraction of the quark mass ratio $Q$

description: The $η\to 3 π$ amplitude is sensitive to the quark mass difference $m_u-m_d$ and offers a unique way to determine the quark mass ratio $Q^2 \equiv (m_s^2-m_{ud}^2)/(m_d^2-m_u^2)$ from experiment. We calculate the amplitude dispersively and fit the KLOE data on the charged mode, varying the subtraction constants in the range allowed by chiral perturbation theory. The parameter-free predictions obtained for the neutral Dalitz plot and the neutral-to-charged branching ratio are in excellent agreement with experiment. Our representation of the transition amplitude implies $Q = 22.0 \pm 0.7$.

Benchmarking OODBs with a Generic Tool
Creators: name: Darmont, Jérôme
name: Schneider, Michel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Databases (cs.DB)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We present in this paper a generic object-oriented benchmark (OCB: the Object Clustering Benchmark) that has been designed to evaluate the performances of Object-Oriented Data-bases (OODBs), and more specifically the performances of clustering policies within OODBs. OCB is generic because its sample database may be customized to fit any of the databases in-troduced by the main existing benchmarks, e.g., OO1 (Object Operation 1) or OO7. The first version of OCB was purposely clustering-oriented due to a clustering-oriented workload, but OCB has been thoroughly extended to be able to suit other purposes. Eventually, OCB's code is compact and easily portable. OCB has been validated through two implementations: one within the O2 OODB and another one within the Texas persistent object store. The perfor-mances of a specific clustering policy called DSTC (Dynamic, Statistical, Tunable Clustering) have also been evaluated with OCB.

description: An experimental study of the process of friction between a steel spherical indenter and a soft elastic elastomer, with a strongly pronounced adhesive interaction between the surfaces of the contacting bodies, is presented. We consider sliding of the indenter at low speed (quasi-static contact) for different indentation depths. The forces, displacements and contact configuration as functions of time were recorded. The most important finding is that under conditions of uni-lateral continuous sliding, the tangential stress in the contact area remains constant and independent on the indentation depth and details of loading. We suggest a simple numerical model in which the elastic substrate is considered as a simple elastic layer (thus reminding a two-dimensional elastic foundation), although with in-plane elastic interactions. It is found that this model leads to the dynamic scenarios which qualitatively resemble the experimentally observed behavior of the considered system.

description: We derive the thermodynamic products particularly area (or entropy) products of ${\cal H}^{\pm}$ for certain class of black holes in AdS space. We show by explicit and exact calculations that more complicated function of event horizon area and Cauchy horizon area is indeed mass-independent. This mass-independent quantities indicate that they \emph{could turn out to be an "universal" quantity} provided that they depends only on the quantized angular momentum, quantized charges, and cosmological constant respectively. Furthermore, these area (or entropy) product relations for several class of black holes in AdS space gives us strong indication to understanding the nature of non-extremal black hole entropy (both inner and outer) at the microscopic level. Moreover, we compute the Penrose's famous \emph{Cosmic Censorship Inequality} (which requires Cosmic-Censorship hypothesis) for these class of black holes in AdS space . Local thermodynamic stability has been discussed for these black holes and under certain condition certain black holes displayed second order phase transition.

description: This study focused on predicting high-moisture texturization of plant-based proteins (soy protein concentrate (SPC), soy protein isolate (SPI), pea protein isolate (PPI)) at different water contents (57.5%, 60%, 65%, 70%, and 72.5% (w/w db)) to optimize and guarantee the production of high-moisture meat analogs (HMMA). Therefore, high-moisture extrusion (HME) experiments were performed, and the texture of the obtained high-moisture extruded samples (HMES) was sensory evaluated and categorized into poorly-textured, textured, or well-textured. In parallel, data on heat capacity (cp) and phase transition behavior of the plant-based proteins were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Based on the DSC data, a model for predicting cp of hydrated, but not extruded, plant-based proteins was developed. Furthermore, based on the aforementioned model for predicting cp and DSC data on phase transition behavior of the plant-based proteins in combination with conducted HME trials and the mentioned model for predicting cp, a texturization indicator was developed, which could be used to calculate the minimum threshold temperature required to texturize plant-based proteins during HME. The outcome of this study could help to minimize the resources of expensive extrusion trials in the industry to produce HMMA with defined textures.
