Creators: name: Bacha, Gezahegn
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: ATMs introduced with the view to automate the operation of the banks and create competitive advantage in the banking industry. The purpose of the study was to measure customer satisfaction with ATM banking. The data collected was analyzed by use of descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regressions. The finding revealed that, out of 379 ATM card users where over half are fairly satisfied with ATM services from their respective bank. All ATM service quality attributes associated with technology have been perceived good performers, while all attributes associated with employee performance and management functionality have been perceived not so good in performance. The results have further found that all service quality significantly correlate with customer satisfaction except three items under responsiveness. The result from multiple regressions also confirms also all service quality attributes used in the study significantly influences customer satisfaction. Therefore, the results designate that for banks to remain competitive through ATM banking efforts should be exerted in providing responsive ATM services.

description: Abstract: Human perceptions of tap water provide valuable insights for decision-making in resource-constrained rural water systems. This study evaluated differences in tap water sentiments across households within a single water utility, focusing on safety, satisfaction, and overall ratings. Predictors considered included socioeconomic demographics, water issues, consumption patterns, boil water advisories, and variables derived from individual cognitive maps (networks of perceived causal relationships among factors structuring a coupled human-natural system). The primary objective was to create a data-driven decision-making tool that connects human perceptions, cognitive maps, and water quality to inform a potential complementary method to costly water testing to determine areas of water distribution systems that may require targeted action to improve water quality. Surveys and cognitive map data were collected from 24 households along with tap water quality measurements to elucidate connections between coupled human and natural systems. Multiple linear regression and correlation analyses were used to evaluate interactions between tap water quality, customer perceptions, and the broader environment. Findings revealed that water issues significantly influence water perceptions. Positive sentiments generally aligned with measured water quality levels did not exceed regulated and recommended levels. Study findings show that narratives provided by water utility customers enriched understanding of rural water utilities in Appalachian Ohio. This framework underscores the feasibility and significance of integrating diverse datasets for predicting tap water outcomes to inform decisions for enhancing tap water quality and water system service.

description: Smooth tropical cubic surfaces are parametrized by maximal cones in the unimodular secondary fan of the triple tetrahedron. There are 344843867 such cones, organized into a database of 14373645 symmetry classes. The Schläfli fan gives a further refinement of these cones. It reveals all possible patterns of lines on tropical cubic surfaces, thus serving as a combinatorial base space for the universal Fano variety. This article develops the relevant theory and offers a blueprint for the analysis of big data in tropical geometry.

description: We present the calculation of the leading instanton contribution to the scaling dimensions of twist-two operators with arbitrary spin and to their structure constants in the OPE of two half-BPS operators in $\mathcal N=4$ SYM. For spin-two operators we verify that, in agreement with $\mathcal N=4$ superconformal Ward identities, the obtained expressions coincide with those for the Konishi operator. For operators with high spin we find that the leading instanton correction vanishes. This arises as the result of a rather involved calculation and requires a better understanding.

description: Contexte et objectifs. L’enquête nationale de satisfaction e-Satis, par la Haute Autorité de santé, donne la parole aux patients, en les laissant s’exprimer librement à la fin du questionnaire. Aucune analyse régulière des commentaires n’étant effectuée au centre hospitalier universitaire de Clermont-Ferrand, la question de sa faisabilité s’est posée. L’objectif principal de cette étude est l’analyse des thématiques de ces commentaires en les comparant aux thématiques des plaintes reçues. Méthode. Nous avons réalisé une analyse descriptive des thématiques retrouvées dans les verbatims issus d’e-Satis grâce à une triangulation et à la modification d’un thésaurus existant, jusqu’à saturation des thématiques. Nous avons ensuite regroupé les différentes thématiques selon leurs sens en commun. Nous avons comparé statistiquement les thématiques retrouvées dans le questionnaire e-Satis et celles des plaintes. Résultats. 542 patients ont laissé au moins un commentaire (63,7% des patients ayant rempli le questionnaire). Une remarque positive sur deux concerne la satisfaction vis-à-vis du personnel (sans préciser lequel). Le thème négatif le plus fréquent (34,6% des remarques négatives) concerne le déroulement de la prise en charge. Nous avons pu identifier de nombreux thèmes plus précis. Les thématiques des plaintes sont réparties différemment de manière significative. Discussion et conclusion. Cette étude permet d’identifier de nombreux axes d’amélioration pour la satisfaction du patient et confirme que les commentaires libres sont complémentaires aux plaintes. Les ressources nécessaires à un tel travail régulier restent difficiles à assumer individuellement par établissement et pourraient être aidées par un logiciel auto-apprenant.

description: Motivated by the recent discoveries of binary black-hole mergers by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (Advanced LIGO), we investigate the prospects of ground-based detectors to perform a spectroscopic analysis of signals emitted during the ringdown of the final Kerr black-hole formed by a stellar mass binary black-hole merger. If we assume an optimistic rate of 240 Gpc$^{-3}$yr$^{-1}$, about 3 events per year can be measured by Advanced LIGO. Further, upgrades to the existing LIGO detectors will increase the odds of measuring multiple ringdown modes significantly. New ground-based facilities such as Einstein Telescope or Cosmic Explorer could measure multiple ringdown modes in about thousand events per year. We perform Monte-Carlo injections of $10^{6}$ binary black-hole mergers in a search volume defined by a sphere of radius 1500 Mpc centered at the detector, for various proposed ground-based detector models. We assume a uniform random distribution in component masses of the progenitor binaries, sky positions and orientations to investigate the fraction of the population that satisfy our criteria for detectability and resolvability of multiple ringdown modes. We investigate the detectability and resolvability of the sub-dominant modes $l=m=3$, $l=m=4$ and $l=2, m=1$. Our results indicate that the modes with $l=m=3$ and $l=2, m=1$ are the most promising candidates for sub-dominant mode measurability. We find that for stellar mass black-hole mergers, resolvability is not a limiting criteria for these modes. We emphasize that the measurability of the $l=2, m=1$ mode is not impeded by the resolvability criterion.

description: We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the glue spin in the nucleon. The lattice calculation is carried out with valence overlap fermions on 2+1 flavor DWF gauge configurations on four lattice spacings and four volumes including an ensemble with physical values for the quark masses. The glue spin $S_{G}$ in the Coulomb gauge in the $\overline{\text{MS}}$ scheme is obtained with the 1-loop perturbative matching. We find the results fairly insensitive to lattice spacing and quark masses. We also find that the proton momentum dependence of $S_G$ in the range $0\leq |\vec{p}| < 1.5$ GeV is very mild, and we determine it in the large momentum limit to be $S_{G}=0.251(47)(16)$ at the physical pion mass in the $\overline{\text{MS}}$ scheme at $μ^2=10$ GeV$^2$. If the matching procedure in large momentum effective theory is neglected, $S_G$ is equal to the glue helicity measured in high-energy scattering experiments.

The Effect of Customer Relationship Management on Customer Loyalty (The Case of Dashen Bank s.c and Commercial bank of Ethiopia)
Creators: name: Deneke, Yared
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Banking is one of the service sectors where competition is stiff to attract new or retain the existing customers among commercial banks. Customer relationship management is one of the strategies whereby banks are using to be competitive in financial sector. Customer relationship management helps banks to retain customers as the practice of CRM pays attention to the need of individual customers and eventually contributes a lot to customer satisfaction and loyalty. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of customer relationship management on customer loyalty for the case of Dashen Bank and Commercial bank of Ethiopia. The researcher used the behavioral components of CRM i.e. Key customers focus, Knowledge management, CRM Organization and Technology based-CRM as independent variables to examine its effect on loyalty. The researcher was used descriptive and explanatory research design to meet the research objectives. The researcher was used convenient sampling method to get representative sample from the populations. The researcher collected data from ten branches of Dashen bank and CBE through structured questionnaire to assess customers' level of agreement regarding CRM practice in their respective banks. A total of 384 questionnaires were distributed to collect data and out of the total 352 questionnaires were returned. The collected data was analyzed using statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 20.The descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (correlation and regression) were used to described demographic facts, to test hypothesis and to answer research questions. The statistical result showed that Customer relationship management which is represented by four behavioral components has a positive and significant influence on customer loyalty. The researcher suggested that Dashen bank and CBE have to pay attention to CRM Organization dimension as it has highest influence on customer loyalty.

description: How to understand the set of correlations admissible in nature is one outstanding open problem in the core of the foundations of quantum theory. Here we take a complementary viewpoint to the device-independent approach, and explore the correlations that physical theories may feature when restricted by some particular constraints on their measurements. We show that demanding that a theory exhibits {a composite} measurement imposes a hierarchy of constraints on the structure of its sets of states and effects, which translate to a hierarchy of constraints on the allowed correlations themselves. We moreover focus on the particular case where one demands the existence of a correlated measurement that reads out the parity of local fiducial measurements. By formulating a non-linear Optimisation Problem, and semidefinite relaxations of it, we explore the consequences of the existence of such a parity reading measurement for violations of Bell inequalities. In particular, we show that in certain situations this assumption has surprisingly strong consequences, namely, that Tsirelson's bound can be recovered.

description: In simulations of high energy heavy ion collisions that employ viscous hydrodynamics, single particle distributions are distorted from their thermal equilibrium form due to gradients in the flow velocity. These are closely related to the formulas for the shear and bulk viscosities in the quasi-particle approximation. Distorted single particle distributions are now commonly used to calculate the emission of photons and dilepton pairs, and in the late stage to calculate the conversion of a continuous fluid to individual particles. We show how distortions of the single particle distribution functions due to both shear and bulk viscous effects can be done rigorously in the quasi-particle approximation and illustrate it with the linear $σ$ model at finite temperature.

description: We consider 3XOR games with perfect commuting operator strategies. Given any 3XOR game, we show existence of a perfect commuting operator strategy for the game can be decided in polynomial time. Previously this problem was not known to be decidable. Our proof leads to a construction, showing a 3XOR game has a perfect commuting operator strategy iff it has a perfect tensor product strategy using a 3 qubit (8 dimensional) GHZ state. This shows that for perfect 3XOR games the advantage of a quantum strategy over a classical strategy (defined by the quantum-classical bias ratio) is bounded. This is in contrast to the general 3XOR case where the optimal quantum strategies can require high dimensional states and there is no bound on the quantum advantage. To prove these results, we first show equivalence between deciding the value of an XOR game and solving an instance of the subgroup membership problem on a class of right angled Coxeter groups. We then show, in a proof that consumes most of this paper, that the instances of this problem corresponding to 3XOR games can be solved in polynomial time.

Year: 2017

description: Due to fierce competition in today's business environment, many companies are required to build long- term profitable relationship with customers and to achieve better market performance. Therefore, Customer Relationship Management has become more and more important since the last decade of 20th century, especially in the service industry. As a result, this study is aimed to empirically investigate the influence of Customer Relationship Management (customer identification, customer attraction, customer retention, key customer focus, customer knowledge management, Customer Relationship Management organization and technology based Customer Relationship Management) on market performance in banking industry with reference to Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, Awash Bank and Oromia International Bank . A theoretical framework was used as a guideline to test the influence of Customer Relationship Management on market performance. A quantitative research approach was implemented. Besides, a descriptive research design was used for this study. A questionnaire derived from previous studies and the relevant literature is completed by 209 managers of the selected commercial banks in Addis Ababa city. Correlation analysis assessed the relationship between Customer Relationship Management and market performance and multiple regression analysis assessed the influence of Customer Relationship Management on market performance. The findings confirm that all the independent variables (customer identification, attraction, retention, key customer focus, knowledge management, Customer Relationship Management organization and technology based Customer Relationship Management) have a positive and significant relationship with market performance in selected commercial banks. Moreover, the study explore that there is a positive and significant influence of Customer Relationship Management on market performance. Therefore, the selected banks have to implement Customer Relationship Management appropriately and continuously, as an indispensable tool for gaining competitive advantage and building long – lasting and profitable relationships with its customers in order to achieve their market performance.

description: Imaging the propagation of light in time and space is crucial in optics, notably for the study of complex media. We here demonstrate the passive measurement of time-dependent Green's functions between every point at the surface of a strongly scattering medium by means of low coherence interferometry. The experimental access to this Green's matrix is essential since it contains all the information about the complex trajectories of light within the medium. In particular, the spatio-temporal spreading of the diffusive halo and the coherent backscattering effect can be locally investigated in the vicinity of each point acting as a virtual source. On the one hand, this approach allows a quantitative imaging of the diffusion constant in the scattering medium with a spatial resolution of the order of a few transport mean free paths. On the other hand, our approach is able to reveal and quantify the anisotropy of light diffusion, which can be of great interest for optical characterization purposes. This study opens important perspectives both in optical diffuse tomography with potential applications to biomedical imaging and in fundamental physics for the experimental investigation of Anderson localization.

description: We investigate the representation theory of the Temperley-Lieb algebra, $TL_n(δ)$, defined over a field of positive characteristic. The principle question we seek to answer is the multiplicity of simple modules in cell modules for $TL_n$ over arbitrary rings. This provides us with the decomposition numbers for this algebra, as well as the dimensions of all simple modules. We obtain these results from diagrammatic principles, without appealing to realisations of $TL_n$ as endomorphism algebras of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ modules. Our results strictly generalise the known characteristic zero theory of the Temperley-Lieb algebras.

description: Pistachio hull contains anacardic acids. It is a salicylic acid with a side chain either saturated or unsaturated. This work focused on the efficient extraction of anacardic acids using solvent. Six aliquots were weighed and extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate, and mixture of H2O/MeOH/HCl. Hexane was the most efficient solvent due to its ability to dissolve the anacardic acids. Only one anacardic acid standard was used to quantify all of them since the side chain does not affect the wavelength to a greater extent. HPLC-DAD was used for quantification purposes and HPLC-MS and retention time were used for qualitative analysis

description: Super Earths and mini Neptunes likely have a wide range of atmospheric compositions, ranging from low-molecular mass atmospheres of H2 to higher molecular atmospheres of water, CO2, N2, or other species. Here, we systematically investigate the effects of atmospheric bulk compositions on temperature and wind distributions for tidally locked sub-Jupiter-sized planets, using an idealized 3D general circulation model (GCM). The bulk composition effects are characterized in the framework of two independent variables: molecular weight and molar heat capacity. The effect of molecular weight dominates. As the molecular weight increases, the atmosphere tends to have a larger day-night temperature contrast, a smaller eastward phase shift in the thermal phase curve and a smaller zonal wind speed. The width of the equatorial super-rotating jet also becomes narrower and the "jet core" region, where the zonal-mean jet speed maximizes, moves to a greater pressure level. The zonal-mean zonal wind is more prone to exhibit a latitudinally alternating pattern in a higher-molecular-weight atmosphere. We also present analytical theories that quantitatively explain the above trends and shed light on the underlying dynamical mechanisms. Those trends might be used to indirectly determine the atmospheric compositions on tidally locked sub-Jupiter-sized planets. The effects of the molar heat capacity are generally small. But if the vertical temperature profile is close to adiabatic, molar heat capacity will play a significant role in controlling the transition from a divergent flow in the upper atmosphere to a jet-dominated flow in the lower atmosphere.

The Roles And Contributions of Civil Society Organizations in Education Service Delivery: the Case of Arada Sub-City, Addis Ababa City Government
Creators: name: Haile, Mehari
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: Quality education has a role in the economic, social, and political life of any country at various levels. Quality education can be improved if all stakeholders such as CSOs are active participants. However, CSOs focus more on hard ware issues but less on software issues of education quality such as curriculum development, teachers" development and provision of educational materials. Therefore, the main objective of the study is to assess and understand the roles, contributions, capacities and challenges of CSOs in the education quality issues in Arada Sub-City. To achieve these objectives both exploratory and descriptive research methods were used. Therefore, the findings of the study revealed that the main roles and contributions of CSOs in teachers" development include provision of in-service and pre-service pedagogical training; giving awareness raising programs; conducting short term training; coordinating, and financing for continuous professional developments. In addition, CSOs are providing educational/school materials such as computers, stationery and facilitating favorable reading materials outside schools for their own beneficiaries. However, most CSOs have no roles and contributions in curriculum development because of lack of invitation from the government and curriculum is developed at the central and regional levels. CSOs have the capacity of information, knowledge, expertise and motivation of their staffs in curriculum development, teachers" development and provision of educational material in Arada Sub-City. But, there is no empirical evidence on the capacities of CSOs to deliver better services in curriculum development. Similarly, the main challenges of CSOs in improving education quality include; they are donor dependent, not yet fully recognized as actors in curriculum development, limited staff capacity, inadequate supply of educational materials in the country, and competition between and among CSOs. Finally, the study concludes that CSOs are working to fill up the gap and strengthen between the government and the society by way of doing government jobs in teachers" development and provision of educational materials. In addition, they play a direct role in the joint efforts to create learning societies

description: Semileptonic $b \to c$ transitions, and in particular the ratios $R(D^{(*)}) = \frac{Γ(B \rightarrow D^{(*)} τν)}{Γ(B \rightarrow D^{(*)} \ell ν)}$, can be used to test the universality of the weak interactions. In light of the recent discrepancies between the experimental measurements of these observables by BaBar, Belle and LHCb and the Standard Model predicted values, we study the robustness of the latter. Our analysis reveals that $R(D)$ might be enhanced by lepton mass effects associated to the mostly unknown scalar form factor. In constrast, the Standard Model prediction for $R(D^*)$ is found to be more robust, since possible pollutions from $B^*$ contributions turn out to be negligibly small, which indicates that $R(D^*)$ is a promising observable for searches of new physics.

Gouvernance qualité

description: L’enquête menée en 2022 sur « La gouvernance qualité de demain » a un double objectif : établir un état des lieux de la gouvernance qualité dans les centres hospitalo-universitaires (CHU) de France et recueillir les projections à 10 ans. L’enquête s’est déroulée de mars à septembre 2022. Les 32 CHU ont été sollicités, le taux de réponse est de 90%. Les résultats ont été présentés lors de la commission qualité de la Conférence des directeurs généraux de CHU organisée à l’assistance publique-Hôpitaux de Paris le 14 octobre 2022. Cette journée a été enrichie de retours d’expérience d’hôpitaux universitaires étrangers (Montréal, Louvain, Stockholm, Genève). L’enquête et la journée d’échanges ont permis de définir de grands objectifs tels que : l’intégration systématique de la dimension qualité sécurité des soins dans tous les projets stratégiques et opérationnels ; l’identification, la mise en lumière et la valorisation des missions qualité des professionnels médicaux ou paramédicaux à tous les niveaux (institutionnel, pôles, services) ; l’automatisation des indicateurs qualité et leur mise à disposition à l’échelle des services afin de faciliter leur appropriation par les équipes pluriprofessionnelles.

description: Protecting endangered species has been an important issue in ecology. We derive a reaction-diffusion model for a population in a one-dimensional bounded habitat, where the population is subjected to a strong Allee effect in its natural domain but obeys a logistic growth in a protection zone. We establish the conditions for population persistence and extinction via the principal eigenvalue of an associated eigenvalue problem and investigate the dependence of this principal eigenvalue on the location (i.e., the starting point and the length) of the protection zone. The results are used to design the optimal protection zone under different boundary conditions, that is, to suggest the starting point and length of the protection zone with respect to different population growth rate in the protection zone, in order for the population to persist in a long term.

description: تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى الوقف عند واقع حوكمة الشركات العائلية في الجزائر من خلال عرض مختلف التحديات والمعوقات التي تواجه عمل الشركات العائلية في الجزائر وصولا إلى المساعي التي تقوم به الحكومة الجزائرية من أجل إرساء مبدأ الحوكمة في الشركات العائلية والرفع من أداء هذه الشركات في الاقتصاد الوطني، وتوصلت الدراسة إلى أن الجزائر تحضي بأكثر من 650 ألف شركة عائلية نشطة في مختلف المجالات، غير أن هذه الشركات لا تمثل سوى بخمسة في المائة من الناتج الداخلي للبلاد، ما يطرح أكثر من سؤال حول طريقة تسيير هذه الشركات ونجاعتها الاقتصادية، كما سعت الحكومة في هذا المجال إلى تعزيز الشفافية وإلزام الشركات ذات المسؤولية المحدودة وهي الغالبة في الجزائر على اعتماد مراجع حسابات خارجي يعمل وفق مدونة للسلوك والأخلاقيات بعدما كان هذا الإلزام يخص الشركات بالأسهم فقط. وأوصت هذه الدراسة بضرورة سد فجوة الحوكمة من خلال توفير إطار واضح المعالم لتوجيه أصحاب ومديري الشركات العائلية من أجل تحديث حوكمة الشركات في مشروعاتهم، في مجالات مثل: الشكل القانوني للشركة، وأداء مجلس الإدارة لمهامه، وهياكل اللجان، ونماذج الإدارة، والاستدامة، والضوابط الداخلية، وإدارة المخاطر، والشفافية، والمساءلة. الكلمات المفتاحية: الحوكمة، الشركات العائلية، حوكمة الشركات العائلية، الجزائر This study aims at stopping the reality of the governance of family businesses in Algeria by presenting the various challenges and obstacles facing the work of family businesses in Algeria and the efforts exerted by the Algerian government to establish the principle of corporate governance in the family businesses and increase the performance of these companies in the national economy, The study found that Algeria provides more than 650,000 active family companies in various fields, but these companies represent only five percent of the country's GDP. This raises more than a question about the way these companies operate and their economic efficiency. Pain To enhance the transparency and requiring limited liability companies and is predominant in Algeria to adopt an external auditor operates according to a code of conduct and ethics after this obligation for companies equity only. The study recommended the need to close the governance gap by providing a clear framework for guiding the owners and managers of family businesses to modernize corporate governance in their fields, such as the legal form of the company, the performance of its board of directors, the structure of committees, management models, sustainability, Risk management, transparency and accountability. Key words: Governance, family businesses, family business governance, Algeria.

description: Objectives: Blunted cardiovascular reactivity is associated with a distinct behavioural profile of greater exposure to early life adversity, coupled with higher levels of behavioural disengagement and symptoms of depression. The present study sought to extend on this work by investigating if behavioural clusters with distinct patterns of reactivity were related to health and behavioural outcomes at baseline and at a 4-year follow-up. Methods: Hierarchical cluster analyses were conducted using longitudinal data drawn from the Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS 2) Biomarker Project and the MIDUS 3 follow-up 4 years later. During MIDUS, 2 participants (N = 513) underwent a standardized stress testing protocol and had their blood pressure and heart rate monitored throughout. In addition, hierarchical cluster analyses were conducted on responses from measures of early life adversity, behavioural disengagement and depression. Binary logistic regressions were conducted to determine whether cluster membership was related to health and behavioural outcomes which were taken at both time points. Results: Three behavioural clusters emerged with statistically different blood pressure reactivity patterns. The cluster characterized by greater exposure to early life adversity, higher levels of behavioural disengagement and depressive symptoms, had relatively lower blood pressure reactivity patterns compared with both the exaggerated reactivity cluster and the cluster similar to the sample mean. In fully adjusted models, this cluster was associated with hypertension (p = .050) and depressed affect (p = .033), while Cluster 1 characteristic of an exaggerated blood pressure reactivity profile was associated with depressed affect (p<.001). Cluster membership did not significantly predict future health status Conclusion: This study extends research on behavioural clusters characteristic of reactivity profiles to demonstrate how they relate to health and behavioural outcomes during MIDUS 2.
