Year: 2016

description: Occupational injuries are becoming the major public health problem in developing country. Micro and small scale Metal work enterprises are one of the high risk manufacturing sectors. Objective: To assess the magnitude of self-reported occupational Injury and associated factors among employees in micro and Small-scale metal work enterprises from January to March 2016 in Addis Ababa Method: Institutional based multi stage probability sampling was conducted from January to March 2016 among micro and small-scale metal work enterprise employees in Addis Ababa city administration. A total of 616 workers were selected randomly from micro and small scale metal work enterprises. Questionnaire based face to face interviews were used as data collection. The data were entered in to EPI data 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 16 for analysis. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were performed to identify factors associated with occupational injury. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was also employed to see the association. The magnitude and associated factors of self-reported occupational injury were explained by descriptive statistics using frequencies, percentage, table and graphs. Results: The annual and two weeks prevalence rate of work-related injury was respectively 422 and 102 per 1000 workers. The prevalence was high among micro scale metal workers 211 (46.8%). The most significant contributing factors for work-related injuries were gauntlet utilization [AOR=0.31, 95%CI: 0.18–0.54], welders [AOR=3.85, 95%CI: 2.73– 5.45], sleeping disorder [AOR=1.51, 95%CI: 1.07–2.13], Micro scale enterprises workers [AOR=2.08, 95%CI: 1.42–3.04], support from responsible bodies were [AOR=0.61, 95% CI: 0.43–0.87], work > 48 hours per week [AOR=1.66, 95% CI: 1.07–2.59] were Significant contributing factor for occupational injury. Cut injury was the leading type of injury encountered 104 (40%). Finger was the frequent part of body affected 112 (39.2%). Conclusion and Recommendation: There is a high rate of work-related injuries among micro and small scale metal work enterprises workers in one-year period. This magnitude implied that mainstreaming occupational health and safety service in these workplaces needs a due attention for the prevention and control of occupational injuries.

description: Introduction: Abortion is one of the top leading causes of maternal death in the world especially in developing countries. Unwanted pregnancies which end up in abortion occur due to contraception method of nonuse or misuse. To decrease unintended pregnancies and avoid repeated abortions advancing immediate post abortion contraception is crucial. Objective: To assess utilization of post abortion family planning and associated factors among women who came for abortion service at selected abortion clinics at Addis Ababa, 2017. Methods: Cross sectional study was conducted among a total of 459 women who came to abortion service at selected clinics using pre tested structured questionnaire from January 2017 to April 2017.A total of 5 clinics were selected purposely based on their history of abortion management. And the study participants were selected by using systematic random sampling technique. Data entry and cleaning was done with Epiinfo 3.51 then exported to SPSS software for analysis. Binary and multiple logistic regression was applied to see the association between independent variables with Post abortion family planning practice using Odds ratio, 95% confidence interval (CI) and p value ≤ 0.05 and P < 0.2 for multiple and binary logistic analysis respectively. Results: Among 459 study subjects 316 (68.8%) of respondents have utilized post abortion family planning (PAFP). Single women were five times (AOR=5.389, CI (2.413-12.034) more likely to utilize PAFP than the divorce/widowed women and also married women were found three times (AOR = 3.329, CI (1.462-7.583) more likely to accept PAFP than divorced/widowed. In this study women who did not get counseling were 99.5% (AOR = 0.005, 95%CI (0.001-0.036)) less to accept PAFP compared with women had been counseled. Conclusion: More than 68.8% of women who came for abortion care service accepted post abortion family planning. Marital status, income, PAFP information, abortion history and counseling were found to be determinant factors. As most of the clients are young, providing focused RH, youth and friendly service and family planning awareness creation activities in schools by integration of efforts among teachers, parents and MOH (RHB) and other stake holders will enable them of prevent un wanted pregnancy and abortion.

Knot a Bad Idea: Testing BLISS Mapping for Spitzer Space Telescope Photometry

description: Much of transiting exoplanet science relies on high-precision photometry. The current generation of instruments can exhibit sensitivity variations greater than the astrophysical signals. For the InfraRed Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope, a popular way to handle this is BiLinearly-Interpolated Subpixel Sensitivity (BLISS) mapping. As part of a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), BLISS mapping estimates the sensitivity at many locations (knots) on the pixel, then interpolates to the target star's centroids. We show that such embedded optimization schemes can misfit or bias parameters. Thus, we construct a model of $\textit{Spitzer}$ eclipse light curves to test the accuracy and precision of BLISS mapping. We compare standard BLISS mapping to a variant where the knots are fit during the MCMC, as well as to a polynomial model. Both types of BLISS mapping give similar eclipse depths, and we find that standard knots behave like real parameters. Standard BLISS mapping is therefore a reasonable shortcut to fitting for knots in an MCMC. BLISS maps become inaccurate when the photon noise is low, but typically approximate the real sensitivity well. We also find there is no perfect method for choosing the ideal number of BLISS knots to use on given data. BLISS mapping gives fits that are usually more accurate than precise (i.e. they are overly conservative), and the routine is more precise than polynomial models for significant eclipses or pixels with more varied sensitivities. BLISS mapping has better predictive power for most of these particular synthetic data, depending on how one treats time-correlated residuals. Overall, we conclude that BLISS mapping can be a reasonable sensitivity model for IRAC photometry.

Predictions are obtained adopting a factorised form for the relevant cross sections and are based on a new set of diffractive parton distributions resulting from the QCD analysis of combined HERA leading proton data. We discuss a number of observables useful to characterise the expected factorisation breaking effects.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Background: It has been more than a century since the world recognized the necessity of warm environment for the care of the newborn unless which may lead to morbidity and mortality of the neonate. Even though there is change in the trend of neonatal mortality both globally and nationally, the change is not as such significant as child mortality that may tackle the achievement of global and national goal of reducing neonatal mortality. Studying the effect of hypothermia on neonatal death will help to provide an evidence for further clinical trials and programs that focus on revising management guideline in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Methods Retrospective cohort study was conducted in Hawassa Referral Hospital. The study population was neonates who were admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the study participants were selected by using simple random sampling technique from the record of neonates. Total sample size was determined to be 1062 and their records were reviewed. Proportional hazard assumption was checked, death rate was estimated, life table, Kaplan Meir survival curve and cox regression was used to estimate Hazard ratio. Statistical significance was declared by p value < 0.05. Result: Out of 1010 (505 Hypothermic and 505 Normothermic) neonates 244 (24.16%) of them died and 766 (75.84%) were censored. Total follow up time was 4922 days for hypothermic and 4666 days for normothermic neonates. Death rate was 31 and 20 per 1000 neonates per day for hypothermic and normothermic neonates respectively. There was a significant difference in survival function between the two groups. Hypothermic neonates were 37% (AHR 1.37; CI 1.03, 1.82) more likely to die as compared to normothermic neonates. Clinical problems; respiratory distress (AHR 1.68; CI 1.22, 2.32), perinatal asphyxia (AHR 1.72; CI 1.12, 2.64) and congenital malformation (AHR 1.75; CI 1.22, 2.52) were statistically significant covariates for neonatal death. Conclusion and Recommendation: Death rate in hypothermic neonates was significantly higher than normothermic neonates. Neonatal temperature should be monitored regularly and management for hypothermia needs evaluation, which should be supported by studies at community setting.

description: In s-wave systems, it has been theoretically shown that a ferromagnetic film hosting a skyrmion can induce a bound state embedded in the opposite-spin continuum. In this work, we consider a case of skyrmion-induced state in a p-wave superconductor. We find that the skyrmion induces a bound state that generally resides \emph{within} the spectral gap and is isolated from all other states, in contrast to the case of conventional superconductors. To this end, we derive an approximate expression for the $T$-matrix, through which we calculate the spin-polarized local density of states which is observable in scanning tunneling microscopy measurements. We find the unique spectroscopic features of the skyrmion-induced bound state and discuss how our predictions could be employed as novel experimental probes for p-wave superconducting states.

description: For the attractive interaction, the Lüscher's finite volume formula gives the phase shift at negative squared moment $k^2<0$ for the ground state in the finite volume, which corresponds to the analytic continuation of the phase shift at $k^2<0$ in the infinite volume. Using this fact, we reexamine behaviors of phase shifts at $k^2 <0$ obtained directly from plateaux of effective energy shifts in previous lattice studies for two nucleon systems on various volumes. We have found that data, based on which existences of the bound states are claimed, show singular behaviors of the phase shift at $k^2<0$, which seem incompatible with smooth behaviors predicted by the effective range expansion. This, together with the fake plateau problem for the determination of the energy shift, brings a serious doubt on existences of the $NN$ bound states claimed in previous lattice studies at pion masses heavier than 300 MeV.

Spatial and Single-Cell Analysis of MERSCOPE® Platform Data using the Python Library CORMERANTT
Creators: name: Nicolas Fernandez, Justin He
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: MERFISH (multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization) is a single-cell transcriptomics technology that captures spatial gene expression patterns across whole tissue sections.1 The Vizgen MERSCOPE® Platform is built on MERFISH technology and enables the direct profiling of the spatial distribution of hundreds of RNA species in intact tissue with subcellular resolution*. Despite the recent development of spatial transcriptomics software (e.g., Giotto, Squidpy, Seurat), it remains challenging for researchers to visually explore and analyze the vast amount of data in a typical MERSCOPE experiment. Such experiments consist of hundreds of thousands of segmented single cells, millions of transcripts from hundreds of genes, as well as large high bit-depth images of cellular structures. We developed CORMERANTT library, an open-source Python library, that enables researchers to perform single- cell and spatial analysis of MERSCOPE data in the context of a Jupyter notebook. CORMERANT library utilizes novel spatial analysis and visualization techniques to help researchers navigate these complex data. Users can interactively overlay single-cell gene expression clustering results with spatially resolved single-cell locations, enabling users to cross-check the spatial distribution of cell clusters and easily identify spatial patterns of cell distributions and/or gene expression. CORMERANT library allows users to identify cell cluster, cell type, gene, and tissue neighborhoods using two complementary approaches – hexagonal tiling and alpha shape. Hexagonal tiling assigns each region (e.g., tile) of a tissue to a distinct non-overlapping neighborhood based on tile attributes, such as transcript counts or cell type distributions. The alpha shape approach allows users to identify neighborhoods of cell types/cell clusters or genes/gene clusters and allows researchers to quantify the complex ecosystem of overlapping neighborhoods that form within tissues (such as immune cells infiltrating a tumor neighborhood). CORMERANT library simplifies the process of identifying tissue microarchitecture (e.g., blood vessels or tissue borders) within tissues and uses these structures to define novel spatial metadata for cells. Finally, we demonstrate how CORMERANT library can be utilized to perform and view the results of differential expression performed across spatially distinct groups of cells.

description: We use the theory of skew duality to show that decomposing the tensor product of $k$ irreducible representations of the symplectic group $Sp_{2m} = Sp_{2m}(C)$ is equivalent to branching from $Sp_{2n}$ to $Sp_{2n_1}\times\cdots\times Sp_{2n_k}$ where $n, n_1,\ldots, n_k$ are positive integers such that $n = n_1+\cdots+n_k$ and the $n_j$'s depend on $m$ as well as the representations in the tensor product. Using this result and a work of J. Lepowsky, we obtain a skew Pieri rule for $Sp_{2m}$, i.e., a description of the irreducible decomposition of the tensor product of an irreducible representation of the symplectic group $Sp_{2m}$ with a fundamental representation.

description: In high density quark matter under a strong external magnetic field, possible phases are investigated by using the two-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with tensor-type four-point interaction between quarks, as well as the axial-vector-type four-point interaction. In the tensor-type interaction under the strong external magnetic field, it is shown that a quark spin polarized phase is realized in all regions of the quark chemical potential under consideration within the lowest Landau level approximation. In the axial-vector-type interaction, it is also shown that the quark spin polarized phase appears in the wide range of the quark chemical potential. In both the interactions, the quark mass in zero and small chemical potential regions increases which indicates that the chiral symmetry breaking is enhanced, namely the magnetic catalysis occurs.

description: Background: Universal access to information for health professionals is a prerequisite for meeting the Millennium development Goals and achieving Health for All. In developing countries, a large proportion of the population, including health professionals, has no or only poor access to HI outlets. The problem is much serious in those working in Primary Health Care (PHC) settings. This study was conducted to assess level of access to HI resources by health workers working in public health centers in Addis Ababa. Objective: To assess HI access among health professionals working in HIV/AIDS related programmes and family health clinics at primary public health institution in Addis Ababa. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative and qualitative (in-depth interview) study designs were employed. Health professionals working on VCT/ART and family health at Addis Ababa public health centres were study subjects. Self administered questionnaire were used on 169 subjects to assess the level of access to HI resources Results: The majority (94.8%) of respondents reported that they seek information when a need arises. Seventy one(46.7%) of the respondents reported being computer literate and only 33.8% of the respondents reported to have access to the internet from any source and internet access, have shown no statistically significant association(p>0.05) with the variables . Access to different HI resources to the health workers is limited; local or international journals (12%), library service (25.5%) and training (58.8%). The over all HI access were observed by six types of resources where half (50.6%) of the respondents were found to have satisfactory access to HI resources . working program were observed to have association with access level. Those working in HIV/AIDS unit were found to have a 2.5 times better likely hood of getting satisfactory HI sources as compared to those working in family health clinic COR=2.66, with 95% CI(1.35, 5.23) and AOR= 2.5(1.2, 5.2). Conclusion: Most study subjects have limited access to many of the HI resources; internet, journals, library service with printed materials, and training. Therefore, more efforts has to be made to ensure a sustainable HI access points to help those working in the ever changing health contexts in order to maximize evidence based patient quality care.

Es interessiert, welche Informationen Eltern erhalten, der Stand der Erfahrung und ob Bedürfnisse bestehen. Mit Beratenden und Eltern wurden qualitative Interviews geführt. Wissen ist bei Beratenden vorhanden, jedoch sieht man sich für die Umsetzung einer gebärdeneinbeziehenden Förderung nicht zuständig. Inwieweit Eltern informiert werden, liegt allein im Ermessen der Fachperson. Das Bedürfnis nach Förderung mit Gebärden erscheint gering, weil die Entwicklung der Lautsprache in vielen Fällen als befriedigend eingeschätzt wird. Zum Teil wird mit Einzelgebärden gefördert. Unter Umständen werden Gebärden nicht thematisiert, auch wenn eine prekäre Kommunikationssituation besteht. Für die Organisation der Beratung werden Entwicklungsideen aufgezeigt.

description: Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of death in developing countries; it comprises of 25% of avoidable adult deaths. Even though the global burden and incidence rates of TB have been declining since 2004, drug-resistant tuberculosis remains a growing threat to public health despite advances made in treatment and diagnosis over the past decade. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) which is resistant to at least two drugs of the most powerful first-line treatment, rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) is one of the challenging problem worldwide. Ethiopia ranks 15th among 27 high burden MDR-TB countries in the world with an estimated 5200 new cases of MDR-TB each year. Objective: of the study was to assess the potential determinants of MDR-TB among tuberculosis patients in Addis Ababa. Method: A facility based unmatched case control study design was conducted from December 21, 2011 to January 30, 2012. Cases were tuberculosis patients with culture-proved mycobacterium tuberculosis resistant to at least both to isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF) and controls were Tuberculosis patients with smear positive mycobacterium tuberculosis who turned negative for the recent test after 2nd, 5th or 6th months of treatment course. The case to control ratio was 1 : 2. Cases were selected from two hospitals which give MDR-TB treatment namely St. Peter and Defence Teaching and Referral hospitals. Controls were selected from two hospitals (Federal police and Defence Teaching and Referral hospitals) and seven health centres. Simple random sampling was used to select patients from the register of each hospital and health centres involved. To identify the determinants a multi variate logistic regression was done. Results: A total of 75 cases and 148 controls were interviewed. Among the respondents 41(54.7%) of cases and 84(56.8%) of controls were males. The mean (standard deviation) age among cases and controls were 30.6(10.4) and 28.6(9.9) respectively. The likelihood of MDR-TB were higher among those who reside out of Addis Ababa ( AOR=18.85 (2.21, 161.10), HIV infected (AOR=9.10( 1.48, 54.37) and on previous treatment of TB ( AOR=65.57(14.21, 302.64) and proved to be statistically significant. Conclusion: Previous treatment of TB, HIV infection and residence out of Addis Ababa were the independent predictors of MDR-TB and thus needs a better attention of the national TB prevention and control activities according to the contextual situations so that to avert the rising problem from the country and furthermore, to keep the health of the community.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden mögliche Strategien in adaptiven Designs in kontrollierten klinischen Studien am Beispiel der Inverse-Chi-Quadrat-Methode von Hartung und Knapp (2003) untersucht. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit liegt der Fokus auf der Darstellung der theoretischen Eigenschaften und der Erweiterung des Verfahrens. Im zweiten Teil wird der Einfluss der Art der Powervergabe und der Verwendung unterschiedlicher Schätzer auf den Stichprobenumfang, die Anzahl durchgeführter Stufen und die erzielte Power durch Simulationen beschrieben. Für die Entwicklung unterschiedlicher Strategien werden die bedingte Power auf den einzelnen Stufen und die Power für den verbleibenden Studienverlauf variiert, um den Studienverlauf zu steuern. Aus der Vielzahl möglicher Strategien werden die Powerverläufe der gruppen-sequentiellen Verfahren nach Pocock (1977) und O’Brien und Fleming (1979) gewählt sowie die Strategie der konstanten bedingten Power und eine Strategie des konstanten Powerzuwachses. In den untersuchten Strategien wird die vorgegebene globale Power überschritten, wenn der wahre Parameter dem Planwert auf der ersten Stufe entspricht oder ihn übersteigt. Für einen kleineren wahren Wert führt die wiederholte Verwendung des Planwerts zur Bestimmung des Stichprobenumfangs in den weiteren Stufen zu einer geringeren Power als die vorgegebene. Durch die Verwendung eines Effektschätzers wird die Power für alle betrachteten wahren Werte aus der Alternative deutlich erhöht. Die Schätzung der bedingten Power für den verbleibenden Studienteil führt schließlich zum Erreichen der globalen Power auch für einen kleineren wahren Parameterwert.

description: Eine Schule in einem Lakota-Reservat der USA. Warum gibt es dort sehr viele Kinder mit ADHSSymptomen? Mittels Methoden der ethnografischen Forschung und Literaturarbeit wurde dieser Frage nachgegangen. Im Prozess ergab sich eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem momentanen Arbeitsort und pädagogischen Themen im Bereich Verhaltensstörungen. Es werden beide Schulen (Einsiedeln / South Elementary) einander gegenübergestellt, fokussierend auf ADHS und Bullying. Schlussendlich kristallisieren sich einige Gemeinsamkeiten heraus. Antworten auf die Hauptfrage finden sich jedoch in den Unterschieden. Eine wichtige Erkenntnis ist die, dass ADHS-Symptome nicht automatisch auf eine ADHS-Krankheit schliessen.
Measurement techniques and case studies for the characterization of Internet applications

description: This thesis characterizes the two current killer applications of the Internet: World Wide Web (WWW) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing. With the advances in network technology and radical cost reduction for Internet connectivity the Internet grows at an awesome speed in terms of number of users, available content and network traffic. Due to the huge amount of available data, developing algorithms to efficiently locate desired information is a difficult research task. Thus, the characterization of the two most popular Internet applications, which enables the design and evaluation of novel search algorithms, constitutes the two key contributions of this work. As first contribution, this thesis provides a synthetic workload model for the query behavior of peers in P2P file sharing systems which can be used for evaluating new P2P system designs. Whereas previous work has solely focused on aggregate workload statistics, this thesis presents a characterization of individual peer behavior in a form that can be used for constructing representative synthetic workloads. The characterization is based on a comprehensive 40 days measurement study in the Gnutella P2P file sharing system comprising more than 10 GBytes of trace data. As a key feature, the characterization distinguishes between user behavior and queries that are automatically generated by the client software. The analysis of the measured data exposes heterogeneous behavior that occurs on different days, in different geographical regions or at different periods of the day. Moreover, the consideration of additional correlations among the workload measures allows the generation of realistic workloads. As second contribution, this thesis characterizes and models the structural properties of German Web sites for enabling their automated classification. These structural properties encompass the size, the organization, the composition of URLs, and the link structure of Web sites. In fact, the approach is independent of the content of Web pages. Opposed to previous work, this thesis characterizes structural properties of entire Web sites instead of individual Web pages. The measurement study is based upon more than 2,300 Web sites comprising 11 million crawled pages categorized into five major classes: Brochure, Listing, Blog, Institution, and Personal. As a key insight which can be exploited for improving Internet search engines and Web directories, this thesis reveals significant correlations between the structural properties and the class of a Web site.

description: Based on current CERN infrastructure, an electron--proton collider is proposed at a centre-of-mass energy of about 9 TeV. A 7 TeV LHC bunch is used as the proton driver to create a plasma wakefield which then accelerates electrons to 3\,TeV, these then colliding with the other 7 TeV LHC proton beam. Although of very high energy, the collider has a modest projected integrated luminosity of $10-100$ pb$^{-1}$. For such a collider, with a centre-of-mass energy 30 times greater than HERA, parton momentum fractions, $x$, down to about $10^{-8}$ are accessible for photon virtualities, $Q^2$, of 1 GeV$^2$. The energy dependence of hadronic cross sections at high energies, such as the the total photon--proton cross section, which has synergy with cosmic-ray physics, can be measured and QCD and the structure of matter better understood in a region where the effects are completely unknown. Searches at high $Q^2$ for physics beyond the Standard Model will be possible, in particular the significantly increased sensitivity to the production of leptoquarks. These and other physics highlights of a very high energy electron--proton collider are outlined.
