description: Offshell electrodynamics based on a manifestly covariant off-shell relativistic dynamics of Stueckelberg, Horwitz and Piron, is five-dimensional. In this paper, we study the problem of radiation reaction of a particle in motion in this framework. In particular, the case of above-mass-shell is studied in detail, where the renormalization of the Lorentz force leads to a system of non-linear differential equations for 3 Lorentz scalars. The system is then solved numerically, where it is shown that the mass-shell deviation scalar $\ve$ either smoothly falls down to 0 (this result provides a mechanism for the mass stability of the off-shell theory), or strongly diverges under more extreme conditions. In both cases, no runaway motion is observed. Stability analysis indicates that the system seems to have chaotic behavior in the divergent case. It is also shown that, although a motion under which the mass-shell deviation $\ve$ is constant but not-zero, is indeed possible, but, it is unstable, and eventually it either decays to 0 or diverges.

description: The concern of the study is analyzing the financial performance and related problems of primary
saving  and  credit  cooperative  society’s  located  in  SNNPR,  Gamo  Gofa  Zone,  and  Boreda
Woreda. Therefore, the main objective of the study is analyzing the studied  cooperative growth
level through ratio analysis. Moreover, the factors related with  saving mobilization strategy, loan
disbursement and recovery  practices,  the  leaders required  financial  skills and knowledge  of  the
studied cooperative was given emphasis by the researcher.
Quantitative  research  design  is  used  to analyze  the  level  of  financial  growth  by  analyzing the
data for the period 2006 – 2014.  The population of the study consists of 4 audited primary SCCSs
and the primary and secondary data collected from these cooperative societies was  descriptively
and  exploratory  analyzed  using  descriptive  statistics,  ratios  and  tables.  Moreover,  a  non
probability  purposive  sampling  technique  was  applied  for  selecting  SCCSs  which  were
consecutively audited between the years 2006 up to 2014. Simple random sampling technique was
used  to  select  respondents  (committee  members)  from  the  selected  cooperatives.  Accordingly,
from the total 64 numbers of committee members 55 taken as sample size based on sample size
formula  referenced  in  this  thesis.  The  hypothesis  was  analyzed  using  T-test  through  spss
statistical software.
As  a  result  the  study  found  that  absence  of  inadequate  liquidity  status,  low  profitability,
inefficiency and inadequate solvency position of the studied cooperative societies. Besides, lack of
adequate  saving  and  credit  mobilization  strategy,  poor  loan  disbursement  and  collection
practices and absence of adequate financial skill and related knowledge of leaders of cooperative
influence  performance  of  these  SCCSs.  Therefore,  the  study  concluded  that  SCCS’s  need  to
improve  on  their  liquidity,  profitability,  efficiency  and  solvency  position  and  also  needs  to
improve their saving and credit mobilization strategy, loan disbursement and recovery practic es
and enhancing the financial skill and knowledge required to leaders of the studied cooperatives.

description: A photonic analogue of Klein tunneling (KT), i.e. of the exotic property of relativistic electrons to pass a large repulsive and sharp potential step, is proposed for pulse propagation in a nonuniform fiber Bragg grating with an embedded chirped region. KT can be simply observed as the opening of a transmission window inside the grating stop band, provided that the impressed chirp is realized over a length of the order of the analogue of the Compton wavelength.

description: Raman laser pulses are used to induce coherent tunnelling between neighbouring sites of a vertical 1D optical lattice. Such tunneling occurs when the detuning of a probe laser from the atomic transition frequency matches multiples of the Bloch frequency, allowing for a spectroscopic control of the coupling between Wannier Stark (WS) states. In particular, we prepare coherent superpositions of WS states of adjacent sites, and investigate the coherence time of these superpositions by realizing a spatial interferometer. This scheme provides a powerful tool for coherent manipulation of external degrees of freedom of cold atoms, which is a key issue for quantum information processing.

Challenges and opportunities on Growth of agricultural Cooperatives: In Case of Gamo Gofa Zone Fruits and vegetables marketing cooperatives
Creators: name: Aschalew Mengistu Dabulo
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: People form cooperatives to do something better than they could do individually or through a
non-cooperative form of business. Forming a cooperative will not automatically solve economic
and social problems. This is because of cooperatives are subject to challenges from internal and
external environment. Different rating variables provided for 103 sample respondents randomly
selected  from  26  (twenty  six)  fruits  and  vegetables  marketing  cooperatives  in  Gamo  Gofa  to
investigate  challenges  and  opportunities  on  cooperative  growth.  The  sample  was  taken  after
grouping  cooperatives  in  to  three  categories  based  on  their  member  size.  One  primary
cooperative was selected from each group and finally three cooperatives identified for primary
data. In addition, FGD and key informant interview were also important sources of the primary
data.  The  data  collected  were  analyzed  using  simple  statistical  tools  such  as  frequencies,
percentages, tables, mean and standard deviation  with the  help of a statistical package called
Statistical package for social science (SPSS). Cooperatives growth, challenges and opportunities
were assessed against different variables and mean values perceived by members (respondents)
were  used  to  generalize  the  situation.   The  results  suggested  that  fruits  and  vegetables
cooperatives in the study area were not in a position to fully exploit the opportunities provided
by the existing environment due to excessive challenge in the operating environment. Challenges
emanated from internal weakness of cooperatives include; the way members dealing with their
cooperatives,  governance  issues  like;  low  representation  of  female  members,  lack  of
transparency and accountability, strong degree of reliance on government support  and lead by
unqualified  (elected)  leaders.  Challenges  posed  by  the  external  environment  include;  high
influence of vested interest, small and fragmented farm land and absences of healthy political
environment,  inadequate  training  access  and  low  price  for  their  products  in  the  presences  of
opportunities;  accessible  marketing  information, supportive  social  environment  and  conducive
policy environment.  For pronounced growth of  Fruit and vegetables Cooperatives  in the study
area measures should be taken to minimize challenges from internal and external environment
and opportunities should be expanded based on assessment results.

Creators: name: YAKOB ABAYNEH
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Customer satisfaction is the valuation of the perceived difference between expectations and
the  practical use of  the  product  or  services  of any  organization. The  level  of  customer
satisfaction can vary widely depending on the reference point the customer hold. Therefore,
this study is aimed to assess the effect of organizational culture on customer satisfaction in
case of Gamo Gofa Zone Zala Woreda Public Health Sector focusing on randomly selected
health care Centers. The study employed .both qualitative and quantitative type of data for the
purpose of the study.Data was collected from two sources (primary and secondary). In order
to collect the primary data, structured questionnaire was adopted and data collected through
Convenience sampling  technique  from  customers  and simple  random  sampling  techniques
from  employees  of  study  organization.  After  reliability  and  validity  of  data  was
tested,Structured  questionnaires  were  distributed  to  154  respondents  and  146(95  %)  were
returned. Moreover, interview with managers and employees were conducted to supplement
data collected by using questionnaire. Then, Data analyzed by using the SPSS version 20.00.
The ultimate findings  are presented  by using different tools like tables and pie charts. The
major  finding  of  the  study  indicates  that relationship  among  Organizational  culture
dimensions (the independent variables) are significantly correlated with customer satisfaction
(dependent variable).As study explored that all independent variables have significant effect
on Customer satisfaction. According to regression analysis, Customer satisfaction is  highly
affected  by  organizational  culture  with  R  Square  85%  but  the  rest  15%  is  from  excluded
variables. The result of the study indicate that the health sector is not given special attention
to allocating  available  resources  in  terms   of  material,  human  and  financial  resources  that
facilitates  customer  satisfaction.  Another  critical  issue  raised  is  poor  Reward  and
measurement  system  in  the  study  organizations  in  which  employees  are  not  measuring,
evaluating  and  rewarding  according  to  their  performance  that  discourage  well  performing
employees.

description: We use deep observations taken with the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS), on board the Herschel satellite as part of the PACS evolutionary probe (PEP) guaranteed project along with submm ground-based observations to measure the dust mass of a sample of high-z submillimeter galaxies (SMGs). We investigate their dust content relative to their stellar and gas masses, and compare them with local star-forming galaxies. High-z SMGs are dust rich, i.e. they have higher dust-to-stellar mass ratios compared to local spiral galaxies (by a factor of 30) and also compared to local ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs, by a factor of 6). This indicates that the large masses of gas typically hosted in SMGs have already been highly enriched with metals and dust. Indeed, for those SMGs whose gas mass is measured, we infer dust-to-gas ratios similar or higher than local spirals and ULIRGs. However, similarly to other strongly star-forming galaxies in the local Universe and at high-z, SMGs are characterized by gas metalicities lower (by a factor of a few) than local spirals, as inferred from their optical nebular lines, which are generally ascribed to infall of metal-poor gas. This is in contrast with the large dust content inferred from the far-IR and submm data. In short, the metalicity inferred from the dust mass is much higher (by more than an order of magnitude) than that inferred from the optical nebular lines. We discuss the possible explanations of this discrepancy and the possible implications for the investigation of the metalicity evolution at high-z.

ASSESSMENT OF SERVICE QUALITY AND CUSTOMER  SATISFACTION: (THE CASE OF ETHIOPIAN AIRLINES  ARBAMINCH AIRPORT)
Creators: name: ANTENEH GETACHEW H/MICHAEL
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: This  thesis  assessed  service  quality  and  customer  satisfaction in the  case  of  Ethiopian
airlines  Arba  Minch  airport. The  research  method  consisted  of  a  survey  regarding
satisfaction  with  the  airline  services.  A  structured  questionnaire  was  developed  using the
SERVQUAL model as a benchmark. The questionnaire was personally administered to the
target population particularly for the members of Sheba miles passengers within the airport.
Convenience samplingtechnique was used in the study to take a sample from the population.
Aquestionnaire was designed based on the model in order to examine all the five dimensions
of servicequality in the model for airline. A total sample of156 respondents who have made a
flight  with  Ethiopian  airlines at  Arba  Minch  airport particularly  members  of  Sheba  miles
were  taken  as  a  respondent. The  final  research  sample  consisted  of  148  participants.
Tangibles, assurance, responsiveness, reliability andempathy are five features of the model
and  in  all  five  dimensions  the  passengers  are satisfied.  The  results  of  correlation  analysis
indicates  that  all  five  dimensions  have  a  negative  relationship  with  overall  customer
satisfaction. The regression analysis shows that expect tangibles and empathy other service
quality dimensions had a negative effect on overall customer satisfaction. But when we see
group mean differences reliability and tangibles had the least mean scorevalue which implies
passengers  are  not  satisfied  with  those  services. So, the  management  of  EAL  Arba  Minch
airport should  improve  its  services  by  trainingemployees  and  improve  visually  attractive
facilities. Finally the management of Ethiopian airlines Arba Minch airport should improve
its ability to perform the promised service dependably and accurately with all dimensions to
attain  its  objectives  which  is  satisfying  the  passengers  by  providing  better  quality  service
delivery.
“But we’re already doing it”: Ontario Teachers’ Responses to Policies on Religious Inclusion and Accommodation in Public Schools
Creators: name: Hillier, Cathlene
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2014

description: Examining schools through the theoretical lens of the New Institutionalism, this study uses semi-structured, face-to-face interviews to explore (1) how religious diversity is addressed by teachers in the public school system, and (2) the accommodations that are made for students of diverse faiths. Policies on religious accommodation receive tight coupling with teaching practice due to the tangible nature of requests for religious accommodation and because students’ or parents’ direct requests require immediate attention. This study also finds a strong correlation with the decoupling argument regarding policies on inclusive education. The teachers interviewed interpret what “religious inclusion” means and how it corresponds with their own pre-existing ideas and teaching practice, as they make decisions based on their students’ unique needs. Adoptant la perspective théorique du Nouvel Institutionnalisme, cette étude examine, par le biais d’entrevues semis-structurées et en personne, des écoles pour mieux connaitre (1) la façon dont les enseignants traitent la diversité religieuse au sein du système scolaire publique et (2) les accommodements fournis aux élèves de diverses croyances religieuses. Il existe un lien serré entre les politiques relatives aux accommodements et la pratique pédagogique, notamment en cause du caractère tangible des demandes pour ce genre d’adaptations, d’une part, et parce que les requêtes directes des élèves ou des parents exigent une attention immédiate, d’autre part. Cette étude a également trouvé une forte corrélation avec l’argument du découplage relativement aux politiques sur l’éducation inclusive. Les enseignants ayant passé les entrevues interprètent le sens de l’expression « inclusion religieuse » et évaluent dans quelle mesure elle correspond à leurs propres idées préconçues et leur pratique pédagogique lorsqu’ils prennent des décisions fondées sur les besoins particuliers de leurs élèves.

description: We study a mesoscopic circuit of two quantized current sources, realized by non-adiabatic single- electron pumps connected in series with a small micron-sized island in between. We find that quantum transport through the second pump can be locked onto the quantized current of the first one by a feedback due to charging of the mesoscopic island. This is confirmed by a measurement of the charge variation on the island using a nearby charge detector. Finally, the charge feedback signal clearly evidences loading into excited states of the dynamic quantum dot during single-electron pump operation.

Massive star models with magnetic braking

description: Magnetic fields at the surface of a few early-type stars have been directly detected. These fields have magnitudes between a few hundred G up to a few kG. In one case, evidence of magnetic braking has been found. We investigate the effects of magnetic braking on the evolution of rotating ($\upsilon_{\rm ini}$=200 km s$^{-1}$) 10 M$_\odot$ stellar models at solar metallicity during the main-sequence (MS) phase. The magnetic braking process is included in our stellar models according to the formalism deduced from 2D MHD simulations of magnetic wind confinement by ud-Doula and co-workers. Various assumptions are made regarding both the magnitude of the magnetic field and of the efficiency of the angular momentum transport mechanisms in the stellar interior. When magnetic braking occurs in models with differential rotation, a strong and rapid mixing is obtained at the surface accompanied by a rapid decrease in the surface velocity. Such a process might account for some MS stars showing strong mixing and low surface velocities. When solid-body rotation is imposed in the interior, the star is slowed down so rapidly that surface enrichments are smaller than in similar models with no magnetic braking. In both kinds of models (differentially or uniformly rotating), magnetic braking due to a field of a few 100 G significantly reduces the angular momentum of the core during the MS phase. This reduction is much greater in solid-body rotating models.

description: Within much of feminist theory, the lesbian has become much more than a woman-who-loves-other-women-sexually: the lesbian has become a metaphor for female creativity and a female autonomy freed from heterosexual aesthetics, gendermodel constraints, indeed, anything deemed patriarchical, i.e., misogyny, racism, capitalism, etc. Throughout my analysis of four films, I will argue that lesbian, when used as a metaphor, is a Romantic metaphor; in other words, feminist strategies that employ lesbian-as-metaphor are subscribing to a Romantic vision of lesbian sexuality. Although this is not saying anything new--feminists since the early seventies have questioned the romanticization of femaleness and lesbianism--I hope to call attention to the pervasiveness of the ideas of 1970s cultural feminism in recent American film. Additionally, I will try to counter traditional feminist views of the cinematic gaze and argue that the filmic lesbian gaze is one that arrests the tenets of Romance--which is not to say I will be attempting to romanticize the lesbian gaze in cinema; instead, I hope to show that there is a good side, as it were, to female objectification in film.

Thus, my aim for this paper is three-fold: 1) to expose cultural feminist ideas that operate within the film Claire of the Moon (1992) and to evaluate lesbian criticism of the film; 2) to explore the lesbian gaze in cinema and how it relates to female objectification through an analysis of Virgin Machine (1988) and Maecheden In Uniform (1931); and, 3) to explore the various ways that "lesbian" is defined in Romantic metaphorical terms in lesbian-feminist theory and in the film Fried Green Tomatoes (1991).

description: The difference from 4 to 6 $σ$ in the Hubble constant ($H_0$) between the values observed with the local (Cepheids and Supernovae Ia, SNe Ia) and the high-z probes (CMB obtained by the Planck data) still challenges the astrophysics and cosmology community. Previous analysis has shown that there is an evolution in the Hubble constant that scales as $f(z)=\mathcal{H}_{0}/(1+z)^η$, where $\mathcal{H}_0$ is $H_{0}(z=0)$ and $η$ is the evolutionary parameter. Here, we investigate if this evolution still holds by using the SNe Ia gathered in the Pantheon sample and the BAOs. We assume $H_{0}=70 \textrm{km s}^{-1}\textrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ as the local value and divide the Pantheon into 3 bins ordered in increasing values of redshift. Similar to our previous analysis but varying two cosmological parameters contemporaneously ($H_0$, $Ω_{0m}$ in the $Λ$CDM model and $H_0$, $w_a$ in the $w_{0}w_{a}$CDM model), for each bin we implement a MCMC analysis obtaining the value of $H_0$ $[...]$. Subsequently, the values of $H_0$ are fitted with the model $f(z)$. Our results show that a decreasing trend with $η\sim10^{-2}$ is still visible in this sample. The $η$ coefficient reaches zero in 2.0 $σ$ for the $Λ$CDM model up to 5.8 $σ$ for $w_{0}w_{a}$CDM model. This trend, if not due to statistical fluctuations, could be explained through a hidden astrophysical bias, such as the effect of stretch evolution, or it requires new theoretical models, a possible proposition is the modified gravity theories, $f(R)$ $[...]$. This work is also a preparatory to understand how the combined probes still show an evolution of the $H_0$ by redshift and what is the current status of simulations on GRB cosmology to obtain the uncertainties on the $Ω_{0m}$ comparable with the ones achieved through SNe Ia.

Boys are Like Puppies, Girls Aim to Please: How Teachers’ Gender Stereotypes may Influence Student Placement Decisions and Classroom Teaching
Creators: name: Riley, Tasha
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2014

description: Since teachers’ decisions and behaviour potentially influence learners’ future academic and occupational status, it is imperative that these decisions be unbiased. In the study reported here, 21 teachers were invited to place 24 fictional student record cards into regular, advanced, or supplementary learning assistance classes. Study findings revealed that teachers’ perceptions of the differences between male and female learners were clearly defined and, on some occasions, did influence teachers’ decisions regarding at which achievement level to place student record cards. Findings, as well as the research method employed, may provide teacher educators with useful tools for sensitizing teachers to the implications of their beliefs and biases as well as encouraging awareness toward specific instances of gender stereotyping in the classroom. Puisque le comportement des enseignants et les décisions qu’ils prennent ont le potentiel d’influencer le statut professionnel et académique de leurs élèves, il est crucial que les décisions soient impartiales. Pour cette étude, on a demandé à 21 enseignants de classer 24 élèves fictifs dans des classes régulières, avancées ou avec assistance supplémentaire. Les résultats ont révélé que les perceptions des enseignants relatives aux différences entre les filles et les garçons sont bien définies et qu’à certaines occasions, celles-ci ont influencé leur classement des élèves selon le niveau de rendement. Ces résultats, ainsi que la méthodologie de recherche, pourraient constituer des outils utiles dans la sensibilisation des enseignants quant aux retombées de leurs croyances et leurs préjugés. Ils pourraient aussi favoriser une prise de conscience par rapport à des stéréotypes particuliers liés au genre que l’on retrouve en salle de classe.

Particle Production at High Energy and Large Transverse Momentum - "The Hybrid Formalism" Revisited
Creators: name: Altinoluk, T.
name: Kovner, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We revisit the "`hybrid formalism"' for particle production used recently to study saturation effects in single hadron multiplicities at forward rapidities at RHIC and LHC. We point out that at leading twist there is an extra contribution to the formulae used so far, which corresponds to particle production via inelastic scattering of the projectile partons on the target fields. This contribution is expected to be small due to kinematics at very forward rapidities/very high transverse momenta, but should be significant at high momenta and very high energies. This contribution is expected to be most affected by saturation effects and is therefore an interesting object of study in the context of possible onset of saturation at high energies.

Subjects: subject: Algebraic Topology (math.AT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This paper offers an algorithmic solution to the problem of obtaining "economical" formulae for some maps in Simplicial Topology, having, in principle, a high computational cost in their evaluation. In particular, maps of this kind are used for defining cohomology operations at the cochain level. As an example, we obtain explicit combinatorial descriptions of Steenrod k-th powers exclusively in terms of face operators.

Beware the Russian bear : the effect of energy insecurity on perceptions of Russia in postcommunist Europe
Creators: name: Carter, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: This thesis analyzes the effect energy insecurity has on perceptions of Russian interference in postcommunist Europe. It operationalizes energy insecurity as the level of energy dependence and hypothesizes a positive relationship between this and concerns of Russian interference: the more energy dependent a country is, the more it worries about Russian interference. The first section of this thesis explicates and defines energy insecurity as part of a trilemma wherein a state has unaffordable, unreliable, or undiversified energy prone to domestic and or foreign politicization. The second section tests energy insecurity’s effect on concerns over Russian interference by creating a new metric: ‘net dependence’. This metric goes beyond existing literature to consider energy production and exports in conjunction with Russian imports. However, contrary to the primary hypothesis, the second section finds that the relationship between energy dependence and fears over Russian interference is inverse: the more energy dependent a country is, the less it worries over Russian interference. Macro-level alternative variables find similar results. The third section examines three case studies: Poland, Romania, and Hungary. These cases show the importance of history, contemporary politics, and the legacy of the post-Soviet transition as key to perceptions of Russian threat and the severity of a state’s energy insecurity. Energy insecurity is more complex than previously considered and can be attenuated by domestic production or exacerbated by excessive exportation. Furthermore, its effect on concerns over Russian interference are contextually based.
Exploring the Role of Literacy Coaches: A Case Study of Three Schools in Ontario
Creators: name: Ferguson, Kristen
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2014

description: This paper explores the role of literacy coaches in Ontario schools. This case study uses qualitative research methods to provide a picture of what literacy coaching looks like in practice in three schools. The literacy coaches had three main roles: to act as school literacy organizers, literacy leaders, and to provide support to teachers and principals. Unlike the role of literacy coaches presented in the literature, the coaches in this study did not generally participate in observation and demonstration lessons and spent the majority of their coaching time performing organizational tasks. This study makes recommendations for future research and provides suggestions for school boards implementing literacy coaching. Cet article explore le rôle des formateurs en alphabétisation dans les écoles de l’Ontario. Cette étude de cas repose sur des méthodes de recherche qualitatives et offre un aperçu pratique de la formation en alphabétisation dans trois écoles. Les formateurs en alphabétisation jouent trois rôles principaux : agir comme organisateurs de l’alphabétisation dans l’école, être chefs de file en alphabétisation et appuyer les enseignants et les directeurs. Contrairement aux formateurs présentés dans la documentation, ceux dans cette étude n’avaient pas tendance à participer aux observations et aux leçons pratiques. La plupart de leur temps était passé à accomplir des tâches organisationnelles. Cette étude offre des recommandations quant aux études à l’avenir et des suggestions pour les conseils scolaires en matière de la mise en œuvre de la formation en alphabétisation.
