Creators: name: Getaneh, Dereje
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this paper was to examine the effect of relationship marketing components-trust, commitment, conflict handling, communication, and commitment on customer loyalty in Ethiopian banking industry specifically the case of Commercial bank of Ethiopia and Dashen bank S.C. A structured questionnaire was developed and distributed to 380 sample bank customers out of which 330 respondents gave a valid response and the hypotheses were tested on these customers' responses. The researcher uses both systematic and stratified sampling techniques to select sample respondents from the total population under the study. A quantitative method with deductive approach is chosen in this research. The findings show that relationship marketing dimensions have an effect on customer loyalty. All the independent variables are positively and directly related to customer loyalty particularly in Commercial bank of Ethiopia and Dashen Bank S.C and in general in Ethiopian Banking industry. The relationship between relationship marketing and customer loyalty is found to be significant. Therefore, Commercial bank of Ethiopia and Dashen Bank S.Cs should make the whole system on work with customers, not in opposite of customers. And also they are expected to invest more on attracting new customers and retaining the existing ones with regard to relationship marketing to increase customer loyalty
ECRIN Metadata Schemas for Clinical Research, Version 8 (September 2023)

Subjects: clinical research, metadata, discoverability, DataCite, FAIR, EOSC

description: This paper provides an overview of a metadata schema covering the discoverability, access and provenance of studies and data objects within clinical research, including individual participant data sets, to help support the 'FAIRification' of those data objects. In fact two schemas are used - one for clinical studies, based on the data structures within ClinicalTrials.gov, and the other for related data objects, based on DataCite. Because most data objects generated by clinical research do not currently have unique titles or DOIs, the expectation is that the starting point for most searches for data objects would be the source studies, hence the requirement for the two inter-related schemas. References are also provided to wiki pages that provide further details of categorised data items, and JSON definitions of the detailed implementation of the schemas within the ECRIN MDR (metadata repository).

description: This paper is concerned with dynamic hardening equations of metallic materials with various crystalline structures. The dynamic response of metallic materials is indispensable for analysis of high speed metal forming process. There is, however, no unique equation which can represent the dynamic hardening characteristics of all kinds of materials although various dynamic hardening equations have been suggested by many researchers. Dynamic hardening equations reported have been investigated using the dynamic hardening characteristics of three kinds of materials: 4340Steel (BCC); OFHC (FCC); and Ti6Al4V (HCP). Dynamic hardening characteristics of each material have been obtained by uniaxial tensile tests and SHPB tests. Uniaxial tensile tests have been performed with the variation of the strain rate from 0.001/sec to 100/sec and SHPB tests have been conducted at the strain rate ranged up to 4000/sec. Several existing models have been constructed and evaluated for Johnson-Cook model, Zerilli-Armstrong model, Preston-Tonks-Wallace model, modified Johnson-Cook model, and modified Khan-Huang model using test results of three materials. Strain rate hardening and thermal softening effect during the deformation process were investigated for accurate application of hardening equations. The most applicable equation for each material has been suggested by comparison of constructed results.

description: For coining micro structures into high-grade steel 1.4301 a highly dynamic tool system based on a pulsed magnetic field inside a cylindrical coil was developed. Two kinds of structures were coined at different tool velocities. The coining results were evaluated regarding geometrical accuracy, material flow behaviour and energy input. In addition the high velocity process was compared to a quasi-static process. By increasing the coining velocity to 30 m/s the accuracy of the quasi-static process can be reached. The energy that is needed for reaching a similar result is less for coining at high velocities. The tool velocity also influences the flow behaviour of the workpiece material.

description: The spinor representations of the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras osp(m|n) are considered and constructed. These are infinite-dimensional irreducible representations, of which the superdimension coincides with the dimension of the spinor representation of so(m-n). Next, we consider the self dual tensor representations of osp(m|n) and their generalizations: these are also infinite-dimensional and correspond to the highest irreducible component of the $p^{th}$ power of the spinor representation. We determine the character of these representations, and deduce a superdimension formula. From this, it follows that also for these representations the osp(m|n)~ so(m-n) correspondence holds.

description: We reconstruct the morphology and kinematics of a series of small transients that erupt from the Sun on 2021 April 24 using observations primarily from Parker Solar Probe (PSP). These sequential small coronal mass ejections (CMEs) may be the product of continuous reconnection at a current sheet, a macroscopic example of the more microscopic reconnection activity that has been proposed to accelerate the solar wind more generally. These particular CMEs are of interest because they are the first CMEs to hit PSP and be simultaneously imaged by it, using the Wide-field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) instrument. Based on imaging from WISPR and STEREO-A, we identify and model six discrete transients, and determine that it is the second of them (CME2) that first hits PSP, although PSP later more obliquely encounters the third transient as well. Signatures of these encounters are seen in the PSP in situ data. Within these data, we identify six candidate magnetic flux ropes (MFRs), all but one of which are associated with the second transient. The five CME2 MFRs have orientations roughly consistent with PSP encountering the right sides of roughly E-W oriented MFRs, which are sloping back towards the Sun.

title: Exploring the Changing Context of Initial Primary Teacher Education in Malawi: Towards Pre-service Teacher Retention from a Recruitment and Mentoring Perspective
Creators: name: Salagi, E
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2018

description: The provision of quality education in schools is an endeavour that requires qualified teachers. However, in Malawi attrition impacts negatively on pre-service teacher retention according to the available literature. Also, due to limited research, a knowledge gap exists regarding how to retain pre-service teachers. Given these circumstances, this study examines the influence of age, gender, recruitment and mentoring on pre-service teachers’ retention. Human capital theory (HCT) underpins this study and has helped to analyse the retention phenomenon. This theory suggests that education as an investment equips individuals with relevant knowledge and practical skills that increase their productivity, hence the theory supports an analysis of individuals’ occupational choice. Accordingly, the research participants have included pre-service teachers, teacher-trainers, teaching practice coordinators and mentors who were chosen using a non-probability sampling method. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data. The use of SPSS software facilitated quantitative data analysis while qualitative data were analysed thematically. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers in Malawi choose the profession because of: their passion for teaching children; teachers’ influence over them; and the availability of further education opportunities that facilitate future career advancement. However, neither their parents nor the lack of alternative jobs influences their choice of profession. Additionally, age, gender, interest, induction, location, resource availability and other factors significantly impact on pre-service teachers’ retention. Given these findings, this study suggests that taking account of key retention factors in teacher education curricula, candidates’ assessment and enrolment have the potential to enhance pre-service teachers’ retention while also improving professional practice in Malawi.

description: We show that the materials quasi-static forming limit curve (FLC) can be exceeded by the process chain composed of deep drawing followed by electromagnetic forming. We form circular cups as close as possible to the FLC by deep drawing. These cups are then further formed (calibrated) by electromagnetic forming. The electromagnetic forming takes place in the punch edge radius region. The results show significant amount of material in this region exceeding the FLC by means of the process chain. Further research is needed to reveal the factors leading to this increase in forming limits.

description: Spatial gradients of diffusible signalling molecules play crucial roles in controlling diverse cellular behaviour such as cell differentiation, tissue patterning and chemotaxis. In this paper, we report the design and testing of a microfluidic device for diffusion-based gradient generation for cellular assays. A unique channel design of the device eliminates cross-flow between the source and sink channels, thereby stabilising gradients by passive diffusion. The platform also enables quick and flexible control of chemical concentration that makes highly dynamic gradients in diffusion chambers. A model with the first approximation of diffusion and surface adsorption of molecules recapitulates the experimentally observed gradients. Budding yeast cells cultured in a gradient of a chemical inducer expressed a reporter fluorescence protein in a concentration-dependent manner. This microfluidic platform serves as a versatile prototype applicable to a broad range of biomedical investigations.

description: Hot magnetic stars often exhibit incoherent circularly polarized radio emission thought to arise from gyro-synchrotron emission by energetic electrons trapped in the circumstellar magnetosphere. Theoretical scalings for electron acceleration by magnetic reconnection driven by centrifugal breakout match well the empirical scalings for observed radio luminosity with both the magnetic field strength and the stellar rotation rate. This paper now examines how energetic electrons introduced near the top of closed magnetic loops are subsequently cooled by the energy loss associated with their gyro-synchrotron radio emission. For sample assumed distributions for energetic electron deposition about the loop apex, we derive the spatial distribution of the radiated energy from such "gyro-cooling". For sub-relativistic electrons, we show explicitly that this is independent of the input energy, but also find that even extensions to the relativistic regime still yield a quite similar spatial distribution. However, cooling by coulomb collisions with even a modest ambient density of thermal electrons can effectively quench the emission from sub-relativistic electrons, indicating that the observed radio emission likely stems from relativistic electrons that are less affected by such collisional cooling. The overall results form an initial basis for computing radio emission spectra in future models that account for such cooling and multimode excitation about the fundamental gyro-frequency. Though motivated in the context of hot-stars, the basic results here could also be applied to gyro-emission in any dipole magnetospheres, including those of ultra-cool dwarfs and even (exo)-planets.

description: Magnetic pulse welding (MPW) can offer unique advantages over other joining techniques when applied correctly. Especially for dissimilar metal welding it has several advantages due to its very low heat input and short process times. Due to the high demands of the process on the welding system properties, it is vital to understand the process as detailed as possible to reduce system-related challenges and costs. The paper discusses similarities and dissimilarities to other high velocity joining processes like explosion welding. Specific aspects of MPW, like its special transient nature are presented and their impact on welding parameters are explained. Using results of example welds on similar and dissimilar metal joints, microscopic and macroscopic effects of part geometry, metallurgical behaviour and pulse parameters are shown. Concerning microscopic effects, the question is discussed whether interfaces of dissimilar metals can fully be free of intermetallics. This is a relevant question in relation to achievable joint strength, joint ductility and even electric conductivity. Here evidence of recent SEM and TEM analysis is presented. Conclusions are drawn with respect to optimal process conditions and practical geometric relations on the macroscopic scale.

To achieve, the overall objective of the study specifically focused to address major basic research questions area such as, assessing organizational strategy to participate employee in decision making, assess level of employee participation, assess the effect of low level of employee participation, and measured organizational performance. To address the area relevant data were collected from the organization employee using structured questionnaire. Regarding the sample size of sample population, the study considers 88 employees using purposive sampling technique. Based on this the study were analyzed the collected data using descriptive data analysis method. Accordingly, the major finding implied that, Regarding employees perception, the finding implied that, even though large proportion of employee perceived participation in organizational decision making improve both employee and organizational performance, however, there were also employees that didn't have positive attitude on employee participation of the organizational decision making process; some of them believed participating on organizational decision making create additional burden on employee, while some of them also perceived that, participating on organizational decision making weaken management practice. The study also found that, there are few employees represented on top level of management on decision making process, while the proportion increase slightly to the middle and lower level of management, however, most of the employee didn't participate in any of the management level. Regarding employee's opinion and feedback, the finding implied management didn't actively encouraged employee to give their opinion and feedbacks, before they decide organizational activities. Regarding the organizational culture and environment, the study had found that, there were lack of organizational commitment and strategies to participate employee in several decision making process, there were also lack of clear rule and regulation how to participation on the organizational different types of activities. Based on the findings the study recommends that, management should encourage employee using different managerial techniques, management should increase employee on major issues of management decision making.

description: Achieving security in practical systems is a hard task. As it is the case for other critical system properties (i.e. safety), security should be a concern through all the phases of software development, starting with the very early phases of requirements and design, because of the potential impact of unwanted behaviour. Moreover, it remains a critical concern throughout a system's life-span, because functionality driven updates or re-engineering of a system can have an impact on its security. The cost of using formal methods is clearly justified for critical applications. But in the context of a wider class of industrial applications answers to two questions are important: What are the gains and limitations of light-weight formal security guarantees achieved at different abstraction levels? What are the advantages of those techniques for reasoning about change? For the first question, we discuss different detailed modelling techniques, ranging from UML models to CPU cache modelling at the level of binary code. To tackle the second question, we discuss results on compositionality and incremental verification techniques which, besides being useful tools for verification in general, allow re-utilization of existing verification results in case of changes in the models. We apply these techniques to exemplary security properties with focus on confidentiality, and pin down security assumptions and guarantees of information flow control across levels of abstraction.

description: Autocrats often attempt to co-opt select opposition party leaders to remain in power. While the literature identifies co-optation of opposition party leaders as an important survival strategy of autocrats, we lack a systematic examination of why some opposition party leaders are co-opted but not others. This article argues that opposition party co-optation is shaped by both inter- and intra-party dynamics. Using a novel data set on opposition party organizations in electoral autocracies between 1970 and 2019, I show that opposition parties with high mobilizational capacity and those that devolve internal decision-making authority from the party leadership to lower cadres are less likely to be co-opted, especially when they are ideological distant from autocratic incumbents. I contend that opposition parties’ organizational characteristics and their ideological positioning in an autocratic party system significantly alter the strategic calculus of the incumbent regime and opposition party elites in deciding whether or not to cooperate with one another. Hence, autocratic incumbents’ ability to control opposition parties through co-optation is shaped not only by the commonly highlighted factors such as resource availability, institutional manipulation or repression, but also as a result of the relatively less well-understood factors such as opposition party organizational features and party positions.

description: Weighted Leavitt path algebras (wLpas) are a generalisation of Leavitt path algebras (with graphs of weight 1) and cover the algebras $L_K(n, n + k)$ constructed by Leavitt. Using Bergman's Diamond lemma, we give normal forms for elements of a weighted Leavitt path algebra. This allows us to produce a basis for a wLpa. Using the normal form we classify the wLpas which are domains, simple and graded simple rings. For a large class of weighted Leavitt path algebras we establish a local valuation and as a consequence we prove that these algebras are prime, semiprimitive and nonsingular but contrary to Leavitt path algebras, they are not graded von Neumann regular.

description: We present the first results of the KMOS Lens-Amplified Spectroscopic Survey (KLASS), a new ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) large program, doing multi-object integral field spectroscopy of galaxies gravitationally lensed behind seven galaxy clusters selected from the HST Grism Lens-Amplified Survey from Space (GLASS). Using the power of the cluster magnification we are able to reveal the kinematic structure of 25 galaxies at $0.7 \lesssim z \lesssim 2.3$, in four cluster fields, with stellar masses $8 \lesssim \log{(M_\star/M_\odot)} \lesssim 11$. This sample includes 5 sources at $z>1$ with lower stellar masses than in any previous kinematic IFU surveys. Our sample displays a diversity in kinematic structure over this mass and redshift range. The majority of our kinematically resolved sample is rotationally supported, but with a lower ratio of rotational velocity to velocity dispersion than in the local universe, indicating the fraction of dynamically hot disks changes with cosmic time. We find no galaxies with stellar mass $<3 \times 10^9 M_\odot$ in our sample display regular ordered rotation. Using the enhanced spatial resolution from lensing, we resolve a lower number of dispersion dominated systems compared to field surveys, competitive with findings from surveys using adaptive optics. We find that the KMOS IFUs recover emission line flux from HST grism-selected objects more faithfully than slit spectrographs. With artificial slits we estimate slit spectrographs miss on average 60% of the total flux of emission lines, which decreases rapidly if the emission line is spatially offset from the continuum.

description: The study examined the Role of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in Handling Customer Complaints by taking for dimension from CRM; Customer Knowledge, Customer Acquisition, Customer Response and Customer Information System. The data was collected from Customers by distributing questionnaire. The data collected by the questionnaires were analyzed by using correlation, regression, and other mathematical tools by applying SPSS version20 software. The four dimensions in the study have positive and significant relationship with Customer Complaints Handling and based on the findings, Ethiopian Insurance Corporation needs to improve customers complains management by taking these four dimensions in to consideration. The study used explanatory research method to understand the casual relationship between CRM dimensions under the study and Complaints Handling. The finding showed that the three of the four CRM dimensions Customer Acquisition, Customer Response and Customer Information System have moderate and significant relationships with Customer Complaints Handlings and the only variable Customer Knowledge was found to be rejected to have significant relationship with Complaints Handling. EIC, as recommendation, needs to have a system to respond customer complaints promptly, develop services that tailed to address individual needs and well developed information system that enable the company to manage complaints
title: Improving English language and literacy instruction through effective professional development: A practitioner, collaborative, reflective practice workshop in a middle school in Qatar

Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2021

description: Abstract This qualitative study described the impact of mandatory professional development and school-based professional development as situated learning on English language and literacy teachers' professional knowledge and instructional practices in Qatar's middle school. A hermeneutic approach was used to determine the impact of both a school-based and mandatory professional development on teachers' instructional practices. The theory guiding this study was situated learning theory (Lave & Wenger, 1991) where professional learning is seen to be context related. Constructivism, andragogy, school leadership theory and reflective inquiry were used to inform this study. The study considered whether reflection and dialogue with other practitioners contribute to effective professional learning that improves English language and literacy pedagogical content knowledge. Data collection methods included individual interviews, a focus group, document analysis and journal writing to provide insight into teacher professional development. The results revealed that both mandatory (formal) professional development and school-based development (professional learning communities as situated learning) could help teachers make changes in their thinking and practice, which might have a bearing on results. However, with a few exceptions, most teachers found mandatory professional development less helpful. The results revealed that teachers need more comprehensive formal training in English language and literacy instructional practices. They also need more opportunities to experience school-based professional development as authentic learning. They also need to collaborate in professional learning communities and specific professional development programmes to assess students' English language and literacy deficiencies. These findings were of significance to both school leaders and teachers as they sought to increase meaningful professional development aimed at improving English language and literacy instruction in their schools. The study recommended rethinking the current mandatory English language and literacy professional development components within a constructivist framework and developing a set of clear guidelines for high-quality literacy professional development to improve teachers' professional learning.

description: COMPASS RICH-1 has used high-purity perfluorobutane as radiator gas since 2001. The operation and control of the radiator gas has evolved over years with continuous improvements. We report on the experience gained in the 20 year-long operation of perfluorobutane as COMPASS RICH radiator. Very accurate values for the radiator gas refractive index are needed for high-performance particle identification. The procedure has evolved over years and the one presently in use, which provides refractive index estimate at the 1 ppm level, is discussed. Perfluorobutane procurement is becoming challenging, and the minimization of material waste is now a priority for the protection of the environment. Commercially available perfluorobutane needs dedicated filtering before usage and typical material losses in the filtering procedure were around 30%. Recent efforts allowed us to reduce them to about 5%. A potential alternative to fluorocarbon radiators in gaseous RICHes is also presented.

title: Pedagogical changes in higher education to promote higher-order thinking: An exploration of practice in a federal university in the UAE

description: Abstract UAE Vision 2021 is a driving force leading the United Arab Emirates (UAE) towards a globally competitive knowledge economy. Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are competencies in employable graduates that are deemed crucial for success in knowledge economies. Cultivating HOTS amongst national students in federal universities as a part of its Emiratisation policy to develop leaders for a resilient knowledge economy is a national priority. Framed within the context of UAE Vision 2021, the knowledge economy and Emiratisation, this mixed-methods case study examines whether constructivist pedagogic approaches facilitating the deep approach to learning that promotes HOTS were practised in a federal university in the UAE. Applying quantitative and qualitative inquiries using surveys, interviews, focus group discussions and document analysis, faculty and students from two female colleges within this university were invited to participate. The theoretical framework underpinning this study includes constructivist learning theories, the deep/surface approaches to learning model and higher-order thinking skills. The findings indicate that although constructivist pedagogies and a deep approach to learning are largely practised at both colleges, there are several constraints that impede their full implementation, especially at the foundation college. Significant implications for theory surfaced as the limitations of the deep / surface learning model to the UAE context were identified. A learning model unique to the UAE context evolved from this study. Other findings of the study point to a lack of balance between the expectations of adhering strictly to accreditation requirements and the flexibility to adapt as best suited for context. A lack of student college readiness at the foundation college hampers students’ capabilities to access the deep approach to learning readily. Numerous ambitious policy directives have been initiated in recent years to address these issues. Federal universities experience the direct impact of these changes. Understanding the influence of these policy directives, the changes and adjustments experienced at the administrative, faculty and student levels and whether change is indeed occurring would address a research gap. Therefore, this study is significant, as it addresses a research gap at this time in this constantly changing higher educational system in the lead up to the deadline of UAE Vision 2021; its findings, such as the enabling and constraining factors that surfaced, could stimulate policy adjustments to the current system.

description: We study the Sine-Gordon model with Minkowski signature in the framework of perturbative algebraic quantum field theory. We calculate the vertex operator algebra braiding property. We prove that in the finite regime of the model, the expectation value - with respect to the vacuum or a Hadamard state - of the Epstein Glaser S-matrix and the interacting current or the field respectively, both given as formal power series, converge.
description: 23 pages, in this version we computed our main estimate in a class of Hadamard states, instead of a singular state from the previous version

description: Okuma ve ilmin gelişmesi ile milletlerin medeni seviyeye ulaşabilmesi arasında sıkı bir bağ bulunmaktadır. Yazının ortaya çıkışıyla birlikte elde edilen bilginin korunması ve geçmiş tecrübelerin başkalarına aktarılabilmesi kolaylaşmıştır. Böylece insanlar geçici değil “ölmeyen, kalıcı bir hafızaya” sahip olmuştur. Cevdet Said’e göre okumaya önem veren toplumlar, ekonomik, siyasi ve içtimai olarak gelişip ilerler. Okuyan insana ve topluma Allah (c.c.) kerem sahibi sıfatının karşılığını verir. İlim ehline düşen en büyük görev, okuma amacının gerçekleşebilmesi için okunan materyaldeki gereksiz bilgileri ayırarak okunacak şeyi seçebilme yetkinliğine erişmeye çalışmaktır. En tehlikeli husus ise okuma-yazma bilmemek değil, düşünce ümmiliği olduğundan fikir üretmeye müsaade etmeyen bir ilmin kimselere faydası yoktur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Cevdet Said’in ilim ve okuma kavramlarını ele alış tarzını, bu kavramları İslami bir bakışla sunuş biçimini, savunduğu düşüncelerin dayanaklarını nasıl organize ettiğini tarafsız bir biçimde yorumlamaya çalışmak ve bu kitabı okumayı düşünenlere bir ön fikir sunabilmektir. Çalışma, eserin temel iletisi olan İslamın okumaya ve ilmin gelişmesine verdiği önem ve karşıt kutup kabul edilen Batı’nın maddi ve önyargılı bakışının Said tarafından ortaya konuluşu etrafında şekillenmiştir.
