description: The electroweak production of $Z(ν\barν)γ$ in association with two jets is studied in a regime with a photon of high transverse momentum above 150 GeV using proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis uses a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the ATLAS detector during the 2015-2018 LHC data-taking period. This process is an important probe of the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism in the Standard Model and is sensitive to quartic gauge boson couplings via vector-boson scattering. The fiducial $Z(ν\barν)γjj$ cross section for electroweak production is measured to be 0.77$^{+0.34}_{-0.30}$ fb and is consistent with the Standard Model prediction. Evidence of electroweak $Z(ν\barν)γjj$ production is found with an observed significance of 3.2$σ$ for the background-only hypothesis, compared with an expected significance of 3.7$σ$. The combination of this result with the previously published ATLAS observation of electroweak $Z(ν\barν)γjj$ production yields an observed (expected) signal significance of 6.3$σ$ (6.6$σ$). Limits on anomalous quartic gauge boson couplings are obtained in the framework of effective field theory with dimension-8 operators.

description: Introduction: Abortion is one of the major causes for maternal mortality in the world as well as in our country. Unintended pregnancies which end up in abortion occur due to contraception method nonuse or misuse. To limit unintended pregnancies and avoid repeated abortions promoting immediate post abortion contraception is crucial. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the proportion of post abortion contraception acceptance among clients received abortion care and identify factors associated with post-abortion contraception acceptance/non-acceptance. Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken in 8 health sectors in Burayu town Oromiya regional state from January 2014 to June 2014. Asampleof415women'swereselectedbymeansofsystematicsampling techniques and three hundred nightly one abortion clients were interviewed in the health centers and clinics on the use/ acceptance of post abortion family planning (PAFP). Datawerecollectedthroughpre-testedstructuredquestionnaire.Then datawasenteredby usingEPI Info version 3.5.4 and exported toSPSS foranalysis. Descriptive statistics: frequency, percentage and cross tabulation were done. Logisticregression analysis wasconductedusingSPSSversion21statisticalpackage. Significances wereconsideredatP-value less than 0.05(P<0.05). Results: Among 391 study subjects, 346(88.5%) of the respondents who has got abortion care service accepted post abortal family planning. Women,who made independent decision had four times (OR= 3.815, 95% CI (1.212 - 12.00)) more likely to accept PAFP compared with those decided by husband and wife. Women those did not get counseling were 76.1% (OR= 0.239, 95% CI (0.068 -0.846)) less likely to accept PAFP compared to women who were counseled. The most frequent reasons mentioned by the participants of the study for not accepting contraceptive methods were; they consider it as sin,it affects health, and it should not be the first choice. Conclusion: More than eighty eight percent (88.5%) of women who came for abortion care service accepted post abortion family planning. counseling services, independent decision on FP and income were found to be determinant factors for PAFP acceptance. Therefore emphasis on PAFP education should be given to increase acceptance rates.
Assessment of the Prevalence and Associated Factors of Pneumonia in Children 2to 59 Months Old, Debreberhan District,North East Ethiopia
Creators: name: Shibre, Gebretsadik

description: Background: Childhood Pneumonia is the commonest cause of suffering worldwide among under- five children where it accounts more than one out of seven under- five deaths globally. It is the single leading cause of death in Ethiopia, accounting 18% of all under five mortality burden. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of pneumonia in 2 -59 months old children in Debre-Brehan district. Methods: Community based cross sectional study was conducted in Debre-Brehan district from February 15 to February 25, 2015, 2015. Stratified, multi-stage sampling technique was used to proportionally draw households from each of the selected 6 kebeles- two from rural and four from urban strata, based on the number of kebeles in the strata - by taking in to account the number of households in each of these selected kebeles. Pre-tested Interviewer administered structured questionnaire was employed to collect data from randomly selected 458 households. Three diploma nurses and a public health officer were participating in the survey as data collectors and supervisor, respectively. The data was entered in to EPIDATA version 3.1 and then exported to Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21 for analysis. Result: The prevalence of pneumonia in 2 to 59 months old children was estimated to be 5.5%. Past history of measles ( AOR = 2.676;95%CI 1.049,6.830; p-value= 0.039) and diarrhea (AOR =5.293; 95%CI 2.107,13.298; p-value= 0.000), use of improved latrine (AOR= 0.157; 95% CI 0.057,0.431; p-value =0.000)) and breastfeeding for 2 or more years (AOR=0.152; 95%CI 0.042, 0.553; p-value= 0.004) were found to be significant predictors of pneumonia among 2 to 59 months old children in this study. Conclusion and recommendation : The present study identified a relatively low prevalence of pneumonia in 2 to 59 months old children. It also pointed out such modifiable risk factors of pneumonia in this age group as past history of diarrhea & measles, use of not improved latrine and breast feeding the child for less than 2 years. The Worerda Health Office, in collaboration with the health institutions in the district, should design and communicate strategies to the community to help them acquire knowledge on the importance of breast feeding ( for 2 or more years) and vaccinating ( for Rota and Measles vaccine) their child to prevent Pneumonia among them.

description: We present morphologies of galaxies at $z \gtrsim 9$ resolved by JWST/NIRCam $2$-$5μ$m imaging. Our sample consists of $22$ galaxy candidates identified by stringent dropout and photo-$z$ criteria in GLASS, CEERS, SMACS J0723, and Stephan's Quintet flanking fields, one of which has been spectroscopically identified at $z=11.44$. We perform surface brightness (SB) profile fitting with GALFIT for $6$ bright galaxies with S/N $=10$-$40$ on an individual basis and for stacked faint galaxies with secure point-spread functions (PSFs) of the NIRCam real data, carefully evaluating systematics by Monte-Carlo simulations. We compare our results with those of previous JWST studies, and confirm that effective radii $r_{\rm e}$ of our measurements are consistent with those of previous measurements at $z\sim 9$. We obtain $r_{\rm e}\simeq 200$-$300$ pc with the exponential-like profiles, Sérsic indexes of $n\simeq 1$-$1.5$, for galaxies at $z\sim 12$-$16$, indicating that the relation of $r_{\rm e}\propto (1+z)^s$ for $s=-1.22^{+0.17}_{-0.16}$ explains cosmic evolution over $z\sim 0$-$16$ for $\sim L^*_{z=3}$ galaxies. One bright ($M_{\rm UV}=-21$ mag) galaxy at $z\sim 12$, GL-z12-1, has an extremely compact profile with $r_{\rm e}=39 \pm 11$ pc that is surely extended over the PSF. Even in the case that the GL-z12-1 SB is fit by AGN$+$galaxy composite profiles, the best-fit galaxy component is again compact, $r_{\rm e}=48^{+38}_{-15}$ pc that is significantly ($>5σ$) smaller than the typical $r_{\rm e}$ value at $z\sim 12$. Comparing with numerical simulations, we find that such a compact galaxy naturally forms at $z\gtrsim 10$, and that frequent mergers at the early epoch produce more extended galaxies following the $r_{\rm e}\propto (1+z)^s$ relation.

description: We prove that spin chains symmetric under a combination of mirror and spin-flip symmetries and with a nondegenerate spectrum show finite spin transport at zero total magnetization and infinite temperature. We demonstrate this numerically using two prominent examples: the Stark many-body localization system and the symmetrized many-body localization system. We provide evidence of delocalization at all energy densities and show that the delocalization mechanism is robust to breaking the symmetry. We use our results to construct two localized systems which, when coupled, delocalize each other.

description: The temperature developed in bondwires of integrated circuits (ICs) is a possible source of malfunction, and has to be taken into account during the design phase of an IC. Due to manufacturing tolerances, a bondwire's geometrical characteristics are uncertain parameters, and as such their impact has to be examined with the use of uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods. Sampling methods, like the Monte Carlo (MC), converge slowly, while efficient alternatives scale badly with respect to the number of considered uncertainties. Possible remedies to this, so-called, curse of dimensionality are sought in the application of stochastic collocation (SC) on sparse grids (SGs) and of the recently emerged low-rank tensor decomposition methods, with emphasis on the tensor train (TT) decomposition.

description: Background: Endometrial cancer survivors face elevated mortality risk compared to the general population. Engaging in regular physical activity offers numerous health benefits for women with endometrial cancer following treatment, including: improved disease-free survival and overall survival; better quality of life; reduced cancer-related fatigue; a 20-30% reduction in cardiovascular disease risk and reduced cancer recurrence. Physical activity is safe for this population, and international guidelines exist to promote participation in physical activity post-cancer diagnosis. However, 88% of women with endometrial cancer in the UK are not meeting public health guidelines for physical activity. Objective: To examine the current evidence on experiences of physical activity in women following treatment for endometrial cancer (including physical activity interventions). Methods: A scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology guidance for scoping reviews. Databases include Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane, Web of Science Core Collection, PEDro, EThOS, and PsycInfo. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies will be included. Conclusion: This scoping review will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current literature on physical activity interventions in women with endometrial cancer, identifying gaps in knowledge to guide future research inquiries.

description: A robust clustering method for probabilities in Wasserstein space is introduced. This new "trimmed $k$-barycenters" approach relies on recent results on barycenters in Wasserstein space that allow intensive computation, as required by clustering algorithms. The possibility of trimming the most discrepant distributions results in a gain in stability and robustness, highly convenient in this setting. As a remarkable application we consider a parallelized estimation setup in which each of $m$ units processes a portion of the data, producing an estimate of $k$-features, encoded as $k$ probabilities. We prove that the trimmed $k$-barycenter of the $m\times k$ estimates produces a consistent aggregation. We illustrate the methodology with simulated and real data examples. These include clustering populations by age distributions and analysis of cytometric data.

description: Ce catalogue décrit une série de technologies avicoles éprouvées qui permettent d'accroître la productivité des entreprises animales en Afrique. Il a été élaboré dans le cadre d'une collaboration entre le programme Technologies pour la transformation de l'agriculture africaine (TAAT) de la Banque africaine de développement et le Compact pour l’élevage du petit bétail coordonné par l'Institut international de recherche sur l'élevage (ILRI). La compilation a également été soutenue par la Plateforme de produits pour les solutions agricoles (ProPAS), un portail d'information où les innovations sont systématiquement caractérisées pour un accès libre sur Internet. Les deux activités répondent à l'impératif de mieux connecter les technologies éprouvées à ceux qui en ont besoin, mais chacune entreprend cet objectif d'une manière très différente. Le petit bétail est l'un des neuf compacts de spéculations avec des technologies éprouvées qui assurent une plus grande autosuffisance en protéines pour la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle en Afrique. La 2 volaille est également ciblée en tant que produit agro-industriel destiné à la transformation et au commerce sur les marchés nationaux et régionaux. Le Compact soutient une grande variété de parties prenantes par le biais du développement des capacités et de la vulgarisation technologique, et ce catalogue contribue à ce mandat. Au cours de la première phase du programme TAAT (2018-2021), le Compact a introduit et renforcé ces technologies dans plusieurs pays dont l'Éthiopie, le Kenya, le Mali, le Nigeria, la Tanzanie, l'Ouganda et le Zimbabwe, et prévoit d'étendre sa portée en 2022 et au-delà.

description: Οι ψυχικοί παράγοντες του θύματος που φαίνεται να συμβάλλουν στην εμφάνιση της ενδοοικογενειακής βίας κατά της γυναίκας είναι χαρακτηριστικά διαταραχής προσωπικότητας όπως η αποφευκτική, η μεθοριακή και η σχιζοειδής, χαρακτηριολογικά στοιχεία όπως η χαμηλή αυτοεκτίμηση και η πίστη σε στερεότυπα για τη μορφή της οικογένειας, το ιστορικό παιδικής κακοποίησης της γυναίκας, και η νόσησή της από κάποια σοβαρή ψυχιατρική διαταραχή. Ψυχικοί παράγοντες κινδύνου για εμφάνιση ενδοοικογενειακής βίας κατά του άντρα φαίνεται πάλι να είναι το ιστορικό παιδικής κακοποίησης, η νόσηση από σοβαρή ψυχική νόσο, η κατάχρηση του αλκοόλ και η διανοητική αναπηρία. Για τα παιδιά, παράγοντες κινδύνου για σωματική κακοποίηση αποτελούν προβλήματα κοινωνικής ενσωμάτωσης, συμπεριφορές εξωτερίκευσης όπως η επιθετικότητα και η παραβατικότητα και συμπεριφορές εσωτερίκευσης όπως απόσυρση.Παράγοντες κινδύνου για σεξουαλική κακοποίηση αποτελούν η μεγαλύτερη ηλικία, το θηλυκό φύλο, η σωματική ή διανοητική αναπηρία και ο σεξουαλικός προσανατολισμός ( μεγαλύτερη συχνότητα σε ομοφυλόφιλα κορίτσια). Στην περίοδο της πανδημίας έχουν αποδεδειγμένα αυξηθεί τα περιστατικά ενδοοικογενειακής βίας και αυτό οφείλεται στην ελάττωση των οικονομικών πόρων και του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού στις δομές ψυχικής υγείας, στην δυσκολότερη πρόσβαση του ατόμου σε υπηρεσίες υποστηρικτικού δικτύου όπως νοσοκομείο, σχολείο, στις οικονομικές δυσχέρειες που αυξάνουν την ψυχολογική πίεση στις οικογένειες και στην αύξηση της κατάχρησης αλκοόλ.
description: The victim's mental factors that seem to contribute to the occurrence of domestic violence against women are characteristic of personality disorder such as avoidant, borderline and schizophrenic, characteristics such as low self-esteem and belief in stereotypes about the form of the family, history child abuse of a woman, and her illness from a serious psychiatric disorder. Psychological risk factors for domestic violence against a man again appear to be a history of child abuse, serious mental illness, alcohol abuse and mental disability. For children, risk factors for physical abuse include social integration problems, externalizing behaviors such as aggression and delinquency, and internalizing behaviors such as withdrawal. orientation (higher frequency in gay girls). In the period of the pandemic, the cases of domestic violence have been proven to increase due to the reduction of financial resources and human resources in mental health structures, the more difficult the individual has access to support network services such as hospital, school, the financial difficulties that increase the psychological pressure on families and the increase of alcohol abuse.

Year: 2010

description: ackground: Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS at various levels is being increasingly recognized as a fundamental component of expanding the response to the epidemic globally and across Africa, and it is defined as the process of analyzing the impact that HIV/AIDS has, and will have, on all sectors. Though it is recognized as a means of expanding the response to the epidemic, the understanding and application of mainstreaming remains somewhat limited, and has different barriers. Objectives: the study is designed to assess the status of HIV/AIDS mainstreaming at government sectors in Addis Ababa. Methods: a cross sectional descriptive study was conducted in five sub-cities of Addis Ababa from February to March 2010. From five sub-cities a total of 420 government workers were participated in the study with a response rate of 99.5%. The data entered to EPI6 and analyzed by SPSS version 16. In-depth interview and FGD were also conducted. Results: nearly 50% of the study participants have no information about HIV mainstreaming. Respondents who had knowledge about HIV/AIDS had significantly higher attitude towards mainstreaming with COR=9.42, 95% CI (1.62, 54.70) and AOR= 25.1(1.13, 558.07). Out of 55 sub-city sectors and 11 bureaus interviewed for mainstreaming implementation, only 20 (36%) of the sub-city sectors and 5 (45%) of regional bureaus were implementing stage one of UNDP's criteria. The over all implementation of HIV/AIDS mainstreaming was 38 percent. The most commonly raised reasons for this low coverage include; low attention and lack of commitment from leader ship, limited resources, perception that HIV/AIDS work is only the responsibility of health sector and weak monitoring & evaluation system. Conclusion and recommendation: the implementation status of HIV mainstreaming at government sectors in Addis Ababa is poor and in its initial stage due to different barriers. Therefore addressing those factors though continuous awareness raising is expected from HAPCO and Health bureau. HAPCO should also develop a clear guiding document and distribute to every sectors.

description: This paper is concerned with weighted energy estimates and diffusion phenomena for the initial-boundary problem of the wave equation with space-dependent damping term in an exterior domain. In this analysis, an elliptic problem was introduced by Todorova and Yordanov. This attempt was quite useful when the coefficient of the damping term is radially symmetric. In this paper, by modifying their elliptic problem, we establish weighted energy estimates and diffusion phenomena even when the coefficient of the damping term is not radially symmetric.

description: We study the target search of interacting Brownian particles in a finite domain, focusing on the effect of inter-particle interactions on the search time. We derive the integral equation for the mean first-passage time and acquire its solution as a series expansion in the orders of the Mayer function. For dilute systems relevant to most target search problems, we analytically obtain the leading order correction to the search time and prove a universal relation given by the particle density and the second virial coefficient. Finally, we validate our theoretical prediction by Langevin dynamics simulations for the various types of the interaction potential.

description: We show that, regardless of the dimension of the Hilbert space, there exists no set of rays revealing state-independent contextuality with less than 13 rays. This implies that the set proposed by Yu and Oh in dimension three [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 030402 (2012)] is actually the minimal set in quantum theory. This contrasts with the case of Kochen-Specker sets, where the smallest set occurs in dimension four.

description: Phonon polariton modes in layered anisotropic heterostructures are a key building block for modern nanophotonic technologies. The light-matter interaction for evanescent excitation of such a multilayer system can be theoretically described by a transfer matrix formalism. This method allows to compute the imaginary part of the p-polarized reflection coefficient Im$(r_{pp})$, which is typically used to analyze the polariton dispersion of the multilayer structure, but lacks the possibility to access the layer-resolved polaritonic response. We present an approach to compute the layer-resolved polariton resonance intensity in aribtrarily anisotropic layered heterostructures, based on calculating the Poynting vector extracted from a transfer matrix formalism. Our approach is independent of the experimental excitation conditions, and fulfills an empirical conservation law. As a test ground, we study two state-of-the-art nanophotonic multilayer systems, covering strong coupling and tunable hyperbolic surface phonon polaritons in twisted \MoO~double layers. Providing a new level of insight into the polaritonic response, our method holds great potential for understanding, optimizing and predicting new forms of polariton heterostructures in the future.

description: In this work, we compute the number of $[[n,k]]_d$ stabilizer codes made up of $d$-dimensional qudits, for arbitrary positive integers $d$. In a seminal work by Gross (Ref. [23]) the number of $[[n,k]]_d$ stabilizer codes was computed for the case when $d$ is a prime (or the power of a prime, i.e., $d=p^m$, but when the qudits are Galois-qudits). The proof in Ref. Ref. [23] is inapplicable to the non-prime case. For our proof, we introduce a group structure to $[[n,k]]_d$ codes, and use this in conjunction with the Chinese remainder theorem to count the number of $[[n,k]]_d$ codes. Our work overlaps with Ref. Ref. [23] when $d$ is a prime and in this case our results match exactly, but the results differ for the more generic case. Despite that, the overall order of magnitude of the number of stabilizer codes scales agnostic of whether the dimension is prime or non-prime. This is surprising since the method employed to count the number of stabilizer states (or more generally stabilizer codes) depends on whether $d$ is prime or not. The cardinality of stabilizer states, which was so far known only for the prime-dimensional case (and the Galois qudit prime-power dimensional case) plays an important role as a quantifier in many topics in quantum computing. Salient among these are the resource theory of magic, design theory, de Finetti theorem for stabilizer states, the study and optimisation of the classical simulability of Clifford circuits, the study of quantum contextuality of small-dimensional systems and the study of Wigner-functions. Our work makes available this quantifier for the generic case, and thus is an important step needed to place results for quantum computing with non-prime dimensional quantum systems on the same pedestal as prime-dimensional systems.

Year: 2017

description: Background: Work-related stress is a state which is accompanied by physical, psychological or social complaints or dysfunctions and which results from individuals feeling unable to bridge a gap with the requirements or expectations placed on them. The distinctive feature of the airline industry is that both aircraft and crew members are required to operate around the clock in order to maximize causing sleeping difficulties and fatigue. Objectives: To assess the work related stress among aircraft crew members of Ethiopian Airlines. Methods : A Cross-sectional study was done among 385 respondents of aircraft crew members of Ethiopian airlines in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from April to July 2016. Participants of the study were selected by using simple random sampling technique. A standard questionnaire from health and safety executive and international stress management questionnaire were used. Demographic information, work load and work related stress data of the crew members were collected by self administered questionnaire. The questionnaire was pre-tested in similar participants outside of the study area(i.e. Turkish airlines crew members prior to the actual data collection) and logistic regression analysis was done. Results: The overall work related stress among the crew members was 78.2% and the crew members who attend long flight had work related stress(P-value 0.001;AOR 7.78;95% CI (1.36-44.2)). The crew members were pressured to work long hours on average 14 hours per day which was (67.3%) , with maximum 17 hours per day and 6 days (56.4%) per week, 24 days per month which was (57.9%). Almost all of them had irregular working shifts and experienced to frequent schedule change (90.7%), attend long flight (93.8%), did not get managerial encouragement (87.5%), all of them travel internationally for work, experienced unwanted shift patterns(93.8%), experienced unmanageable work load(86%) and difficulty to get sleep(84.4%). Conclusion and Recommendation: The results of this study showed that there were increased in working long hours, fatigue and sleeping difficulty which create a powerful predictor of work related stress among crew members. Standard supervision is needed to raise the worker well-being and safety of the crew members

Publisher: name: trends in Agriculture Science
Year: 2024

description: High milk production and excellent fertility is a dream of livestock owner. Proper management of young calf plays pivotal role in success of dairy farm. Optimum nutrition and better management favours early puberty and sexual maturity in livestock. Calf should attain 60 per cent of mature body weight at puberty. Body weight play important role as compared to the age in attainment of puberty in dairy animals. Poor feeding leads to higher age of first calving causes the loss of productivity in dairy development programme. Therefore, livestock owner needs to understand the importance of proper feeding and management for better development of dairy farm.

description: We propose a new method for the evaluation of intersection numbers for twisted meromorphic $n$-forms, through Stokes' theorem in $n$ dimensions. It is based on the solution of an $n$-th order partial differential equation and on the evaluation of multivariate residues. We also present an algebraic expression for the contribution from each multivariate residue. We illustrate our approach with a number of simple examples from mathematics and physics.

Power countings versus physical scalings in disordered elastic systems - Case study of the one-dimensional interface
Creators: name: Agoritsas, Elisabeth

description: We study the scaling properties of a one-dimensional interface at equilibrium, at finite temperature and in a disordered environment with a finite disorder correlation length. We focus our approach on the scalings of its geometrical fluctuations as a function of its length. At large lengthscales, the roughness of the interface, defined as the variance of its endpoint fluctuations, follows a power-law behaviour whose exponent characterises its superdiffusive behaviour. In 1+1 dimensions, the roughness exponent is known to be the characteristic 2/3 exponent of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. An important feature of the model description is that its Flory exponent, obtained by a power counting argument on its Hamiltonian, is equal to 3/5 and thus does not yield the correct KPZ roughness exponent. In this work, we review the available power-counting options, and relate the physical validity of the exponent values that they predict, to the existence (or not) of well-defined optimal trajectories in a large-size or low-temperature asymptotics. We identify the crucial role of the 'cut-off' lengths of the problem (the disorder correlation length and the system size), which one has to carefully follow throughout the scaling analysis. To complement the latter, we device a novel Gaussian Variational Method (GVM) scheme to compute the roughness, taking into account the effect of a large but finite interface length. Interestingly, such a procedure yields the correct KPZ roughness exponent, instead of the Flory exponent usually obtained through the GVM approach for an infinite interface. We explain the physical origin of this improvement of the GVM procedure and discuss possible extensions of this work to other disordered systems.

Continuously Phase-Modulated Standing Surface Acoustic Waves for Separation of Particles and Cells in Microfluidic Channels Containing Multiple Pressure Nodes

description: This paper describes continuously phase-modulated standing surface acoustic waves (CPM-SSAW) and its application for particle separation in multiple pressure nodes. A linear change of phase in CPM-SSAW applies a force to particles whose magnitude depends on their size and contrast factors. During continuous phase modulation, we demonstrate that particles with the target dimension are translated in the direction of moving pressure nodes, whereas smaller particles show oscillatory movements. The rate of phase modulation is optimized for separation of target particles from the relationship between mean particle velocity and period of oscillation. The developed technique is applied to separate particles of the target dimension from the particle mixture. Furthermore, we also demonstrate human keratinocyte cells can be separated in the cell and bead mixture. The separation technique is incorporated with a microfluidic channel spanning multiple pressure nodes, which is advantageous over separation in a single pressure node in terms of high throughput.
title: Resolving the conflicts in Nigeria's oil industry - A critical analysis of the role of public participation
Creators: name: Ako, Rhuks Temitope
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This study examines the role that law plays in producing and exacerbating instability in the Nigerian oil-industry, and how it might serve as a veritable tool in the quest for the restoration of order and legitimate authority, sustainable peace and development in the Niger Delta region that hosts it. The central thesis is that the regulatory framework which governs the oil industry overwhelmingly bestows ownership and control of that strategic sector on the federal government in ways that alienate host oil communities and frustrates these communities from any meaningful participation in the industry. At the same time, traditional subsistence opportunities are foreclosed by the environmental consequences of long years of oil production activities. These situations, in turn, are precipitating the worst kinds of community anomie and disorders as well as a regime of state repression in the Niger Delta. The study utilises the environmental justice theory to analyze Nigeria’s oil-industry’s regulatory framework; particularly those that implicate ownership and management of oil (including the distribution of oil revenues), landholding and environmental protection. A major finding of the study is that these legal provisions not only contribute to the erosion of public trust but also undermine host-communities’ rights to participate actively in the management of the oil-industry. It suggests that attempts to resolve the on-going conflicts have failed, for the most part, due to neglect of the rights-based context in which host- communities are now demanding greater participation and ownership. In essence, notions of ‘recognition’ and ‘distribution’ are central to the resolution of the crisis. It concludes by recommending that environmental human rights should be constitutionally recognized as the foundation for other requisite public participation initiatives.
Mode selectivity of dynamically induced conformation in many-body chain-like bead-spring model

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider conformation of a chain consisting of beads connected by stiff springs, where the conformation is determined by the bending angles between the consecutive two springs. A conformation is stabilized or destabilized not only by a given bending potential but also the fast spring motion, and stabilization by the spring motion depends on their excited normal modes. This stabilization mechanism has been named the dynamically induced conformation in a previous work on a three-body system. We extend analyses of the dynamically induced conformation in many-body chain-like bead-spring systems. The normal modes of the springs depend on the conformation, and the simple rule of the dynamical stabilization is that the lowest eigenfrequency mode contributes to the stabilization of the conformation. The high the eigenfrequency is, the more the destabilization emerges. We verify theoretical predictions by performing numerical simulations.

description: We present a basic dynamic epistemic logic of "knowing the value". Analogous to public announcement in standard DEL, we study "public inspection", a new dynamic operator which updates the agents' knowledge about the values of constants. We provide a sound and strongly complete axiomatization for the single and multi-agent case, making use of the well-known Armstrong axioms for dependencies in databases.
