Creators: name: GEBREWOLD, TADIWOS
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The purpose of the research is to analyze the prospects and constraints in the implementation of human resources management practice in Amhara Region North Shao Zone civil service practice in public sectors. The research design adopted was descriptive. The researcher used both qualitative and quantitative data collected through questionnaire, interview, and review of necessary documents. The populations of the study were 489, from these 144 samples submitted from each stratum of department working "Amhara Region North Shoa Zone Public Sector″. The researcher used both probability (lottery) and nonprobability (purposive) sampling techniques. The study used primary and secondary data sources. The researcher used stratified sampling techniques. The data analyzed and presented using percentages, frequency, mean, correlation and regression analysis using SPSS version 24. The findings of the study show that promoting positive workplace improves the attitudes of employees towards employee performance in the study area. It also identifies that some job descriptions include performance benchmarks in the study are related to employee performance, immediate actions would take against workers who have no capacity to perform activities, and government staffs were not committed to register achievements in the study area in relation to employee performance. The completing of performance appraisal also shows that the need to make the working environment more conducive. Likewise, in some sectors the uniform salary scales the country follows does not attract various professionals and hence not fully improve service delivery. Despite the above stated problems in the study area, there is a strong positive link between dependent and independent variables. Moreover, conducting training, creating a strong link between employee performance and reward, making the performance assessment system more open and carrying out continuous follow up should make the HRM process less sustainable. Finally, the study recommended that the Zonal public service departments should work with the concerned organizations to excel service delivery training, skills and knowledge and the management of the sector should continue their follow up employees functions to excel employee performance and to have overall organizational performance.

description: The increasing integration of renewable energy sources and the rising demand for decentralized energy systems have led to the emergence of microgrids and virtual power plants (VPPs) as key components of modern power systems. Optimal scheduling of these systems is crucial for ensuring efficient energy utilization, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced grid stability. This review explores the methodologies, technologies, and frameworks for optimal scheduling in microgrid-based virtual power plants. It examines the role of advanced optimization techniques, artificial intelligence, and machine learning in addressing the challenges posed by the intermittent nature of renewable energy, load uncertainties, and market dynamics. The review also highlights the importance of coordination between distributed energy resources (DERs), energy storage systems (ESS), and demand-side management (DSM) strategies to achieve optimal performance. Furthermore, it provides a comprehensive analysis of recent studies, comparing their approaches, objectives, and performance metrics. This study aims to serve as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners working toward the development of more sustainable, resilient, and efficient energy systems.

description: Background. Haptoglobin is a plasma protein that scavenges haemoglobin during haemolysis. Phospholipid Transfer Protein (PLTP) transfers lipids from Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) to High Density Lipoproteins (HDL). PLTP is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis which causes coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death in North America. It has been shown that Apolipoprotein-A1 (Apo-A1) binds and regulates PLTP activity. Haptoglobin can also bind to Apo-A1, affecting the ability of Apo-A1 to induce enzymatic activities. Thus we hypothesize that haptoglobin inhibits PLTP activity. This work tested the effect of Haptoglobin and Apo-A1 addition on PLTP activity in human plasma samples. The results will contribute to our understanding of the role of haptoglobin on modulating reverse cholesterol transport. Results We analyzed the PLTP activity and Apo-A1 and Haptoglobin content in six hyperlipidemic and six normolipidemic plasmas. We found that Apo-A1 levels are proportional to PLTP activity in hyperlipidemic (R² = 0.66, p < 0.05) but not in normolipidemic human plasma. Haptoglobin levels and PLTP activity are inversely proportional in hyperlipidemic plasmas (R² = 0.57, p > 0.05). When the PLTP activity was graphed versus the Hp/Apo-A1 ratio in hyperlipidemic plasma there was a significant correlation (R² = 0.69, p < 0.05) suggesting that PLTP activity is affected by the combined effect of Apo-A1 and haptoglobin. When haptoglobin was added to individual hyperlipidemic plasma samples there was a dose dependent decrease in PLTP activity. In these samples we also found a negative correlation (-0.59, p < 0.05) between PLTP activity and Hp/Apo-A1. When we added an amount of haptoglobin equivalent to 100% of the basal levels, we found a 64 ± 23% decrease (p < 0.05) in PLTP activity compared to basal PLTP activity. We tested the hypothesis that additional Apo-A1 would induce PLTP activity. Interestingly we found a dose dependent decrease in PLTP activity upon Apo-A1 addition. When both Apo-A1 and Hpt were added to the plasma samples there was no further reduction in PLTP activity suggesting that they act through a common pathway. Conclusion These findings suggest an inhibitory effect of Haptoglobin over PLTP activity in hyperlipidemic plasma that may contribute to the regulation of reverse cholesterol transport.

description: Since 1991 onwards several measures have been introduced in the country to effectively institute decentralized system. It was believed that the system would create local governments which are more accountable to their duties planned at improving self-confidence democratic decision making and participation of citizens. Beside the efforts to improve local governances through decentralized approach, there are different challenges standing as inhabiting factors to the performance of local administration. The general objective of the study is to examine the impacts of decentralized service delivery on the performance of public organization in Addis Ababa city government in the case of Yeka Sub-City revenue offices. Five woredas in Yeka sub city were selected using simple random sampling technique. From these sample woredas, 156 employees using census sampling and 136 customers using availability sampling were participated in the study. The data collection instrument consisted of two questionnairs and interview. The result shows that the revenue offices have regulatory guidelines and adequate structure on decentralized service delivery and the bureaus provide all requirements to facilitate effective service delivery. But the bureaucracy is still a significant challenge to get services in one place. The study finding indicates that hiring of personnel, resource mobilization, resource allocation, decision making, career allocation and complaint hearing found to be autonomous functions of the woreda bureaus. In contrary to this, firing of respondents, giving promotion, giving a career development for employees, transferring employees, setting compensation are labeled as insignificant autonomous function of the Woreda revenue bureaus. Capacity (R=.651, (P<0.01), financial aspect (R=.489, (P<0.01), autonomy (R = .463, (P< 0.01) and administrative decentralization (R= 0 .343, p= .000) were found to have significant relationship with customer satisfaction. The pre-model fitting five assumptions (i.e., Normality, Linearity, Multicollinearity, Homoscedasticity and Independence of Residuals) of multiple regressions are met accordingly. The multiple correlation coefficients, R, indicate a strong correlation of .753 between the independent variables and the dependent variable. A linear combination of all the independent variables considered under the study predicts (R2=.567), of the variance in the dependent variable customer satisfaction. Capacity (53.3%), finance (28.4%) and administrative decentralization (17.9%) are significant factors for revenue bureaus performance measured by customer satisfaction.

description: Background: During peacekeeping missions, military personnel may be involved in or exposed to potentially morally injurious experiences (PMIEs), such as an inability to intervene due to a limited mandate. While exposure to such morally transgressive events has been shown to lead to moral injury in combat veterans, research on moral injury in peacekeepers is limited. Objective: We aimed to determine patterns of exposure to PMIEs and associated outcome- and exposure-related factors among Dutch peacekeepers stationed in the former Yugoslavia during the Srebrenica genocide. Method: Self-report data were collected among Dutchbat III veterans (N = 431). We used Latent Class Analysis to identify subgroups of PMIE exposure as assessed by the Moral Injury Scale–Military version. We investigated whether deployment location, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), posttraumatic growth, resilience, and quality of life differentiated between latent classes. Results: The analysis identified a three-class solution: a high exposure class (n = 79), a moderate exposure class (n = 216), and a betrayal and powerlessness-only class (n = 135). More PMIE exposure was associated with deployment location and higher odds of having probable PTSD. PMIE exposure was not associated with posttraumatic growth. Resilience and quality of life were excluded from analyses due to high correlations with PTSD. Conclusions: Peacekeepers may experience varying levels of PMIE exposure, with more exposure being associated with worse outcomes 25 years later. Although no causal relationship may be assumed, the results emphasize the importance of better understanding PMIEs within peacekeeping. Peacekeeping veterans reported different patterns of exposure to potentially morally injurious experiences: high exposure, moderate exposure, or experiences of betrayal and powerlessness only.Deployment location predicted the pattern of exposure.More exposure was associated with worse psychological outcomes 25 years later. Peacekeeping veterans reported different patterns of exposure to potentially morally injurious experiences: high exposure, moderate exposure, or experiences of betrayal and powerlessness only. Deployment location predicted the pattern of exposure. More exposure was associated with worse psychological outcomes 25 years later.

COMMENTS: The AMNH number of the holotype was given in the original description. Paratypes are specimens collected by the Whitney Expedition on Ua Huka during October and November 1922: AMNH 190751– 190767, 196039, 196040, and 196042–196081. Of these, AMNH 196047, 196050, 196061, 196067, and 196069 were exchanged to Rothschild and were renumbered AMNH 655360, 655361, 655362, 655364, and 655363, respectively, when they came back to AMNH. AMNH 190759 and 196053 were exchanged to ZMB in July 1936, and AMNH 190755 was exchanged to ANSP in February 1938. I did not find AMNH 196045, 196049, 196064, 196065, and 196068 in the collection and it is probable that they were exchanged with other museums without the catalog having been so marked.

description: Riemerella anatipestifer (RA) is a significant poultry pathogen causing acute septicemia and inflammation. The function of protease RAYM_01812, responsible for gelatin degradation, is unexplored in RA pathogenesis. To elucidate its role, we generated a deletion mutant ΔRAYM_01812 (ΔRAYM) and complementary CΔRAYM_01812 (CΔRAYM) strain and revealed the protease’s role in extracellular gelatinase activity. By expressing full-length 76 kDa RAYM_01812 protein without signal peptide as well as seven partial structural domains fragments, we evidence that the N-terminal propeptide acts as an enzymatic activity inhibitor and it gets cleaved at A112. Also, we show that the β-fold sheet domain is necessary for enhancing the enzymatic protease activity. Sequential auto-proteolysis forms a stable 40 kDa enzyme. Then, testing the strains in duck sera indicated that the absence or presence of RAYM_01812 results in reduced or enhanced bacterial survival, respectively. Furthermore, we found that the protease is able to cleave IgY antibodies as well as the complement factors C3a and C5a, that the protease reduces C3a- or C5a-mediated monocyte chemotaxis, and results in enhanced membrane attack complex (MAC) formation on the surface of ΔRAYM compared to CΔRAYM. This suggests that RAYM_01812 plays a crucial role in protecting against the serum complement-mediated bactericidal effect through inhibiting MAC formation and monocyte chemotaxis. Animal infection assays showed a 1090-fold reduced virulence of ΔRAYM compared to RA-YM, evidenced by decreased tissue loading and weaker histopathological changes. In conclusion, RAYM_01812 acts as a vital virulence factor, enabling host innate immune defence escape through complement killing evasion and monocyte chemotaxis inhibition.

description: Oral cancer develops through a series of histopathological stages: through mild (low grade), moderate, and severe (high grade) dysplasia to carcinoma in situ and then invasive disease. Early detection of those oral premalignant lesions (OPLs) that will develop into invasive tumors is necessary to improve the poor prognosis of oral cancer. Because no tools exist for delineating progression risk in low grade oral lesions, we cannot determine which of these cases require aggressive intervention. We undertook whole genome analysis by tiling-path array comparative genomic hybridization for a rare panel of early and late stage OPLs (n = 62), all of which had extensive longitudinal follow up (>10 years). Genome profiles for oral squamous cell carcinomas (n = 24) were generated for comparison. Parallel analysis of genome alterations and clinical parameters was performed to identify features associated with disease progression. Genome alterations in low grade dysplasias progressing to invasive disease more closely resembled those observed for later stage disease than they did those observed for non-progressing low grade dysplasias. This was despite the histopathological similarity between progressing and non-progressing cases. Strikingly, unbiased computational analysis of genomic alteration data correctly classified nearly all progressing low grade dysplasia cases. Our data demonstrate that high resolution genomic analysis can be used to evaluate progression risk in low grade OPLs, a marked improvement over present histopathological approaches which cannot delineate progression risk. Taken together, our data suggest that whole genome technologies could be used in management strategies for patients presenting with precancerous oral lesions.

Increasingly, large microbiome studies generate considerable numbers of isolates. Deposition of these isolates to culture collections not only is in the interest of open science but is also required to formally name any new taxa found among them. This presents a challenge to both researchers and biological resource centers. While the former wish to receive culture collection numbers as soon as possible to use as persistent identifiers in publications, the latter do not have the capacity to process these sizable collections simultaneously.

Here we present StrainRegistry, a novel strain registration and deposition management service connected to the StrainInfo database (https://straininfo.dsmz.de/). It allows microbiologists to register strains they want to deposit with strain identity information for StrainInfo and further meta- and deposition data, which are not published, but can directly be shared with a participating culture collection. The StrainRegistry user interface visualizes the deposition status of each strain and facilitates communication between the depositor and the responsible culture collection curator, who can view strain information, demand further data, request shipping of biological material and change strain statuses. When strains are accepted for deposition at a collection, they receive a persistent StrainInfo identifier and its respective DOI and are published in the database, where they can later be linked with culture collection numbers, sequences and publications.

This procedure is being developed in collaboration with the curators of the DSMZ to simplify bulk deposition at the DSMZ and with the ambition to engage other culture collections and standardize microbial strain deposition worldwide.

description: Plate fixation is the primary treatment for clavicle fractures, but standard plates often fail, requiring reoperation due to irritation, bending, or fracture. These issues are linked to poor geometric fit suboptimal plate thickness, and material performance. This study proposes a personalized clavicle plate design methodology for middle one-third fractures. Using a reverse engineering approach, a 3D model of a 15-B1.2 oblique fractured clavicle bone is created from CT scan data. Customized plates of varying thicknesses are designed and simulated using titanium, stainless steel, and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys. This research proposes a methodology based on finite element modeling (FEM) to assess structural stability, safety, and fatigue life by analyzing stresses and displacements under diverse loading conditions. This investigation aims to improve clinical decisions and patient outcomes through personalized treatments and enhanced fracture stability.

description: The main purpose of this study was to analysis Conflict Management and Leadership for Organizational Change in Wogdie Secondary and Preparatory Schools of wogdie woreda. The study employed descriptive method with both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Purposive sampling technique was used to select school principals, supervisor, and Woreda education office experts and Teachers were selected based on stratified sampling based on their experiences and sex. All the necessary data required for this study were gathered from both primary and secondary sources. The data gathering tools employed were questionnaire, interview as well as document analysis. In organizations, conflict is regarded as the presence of discord that occurs when the goals, interests or values of different individuals or groups are incompatible and frustrate each other's attempting to achieve objectives. There are different views surrounding the origin of conflict in organizations and institutions. From the draw of creation mankind has been presented with conflict. Conflict appears to be inevitable; once there is human interaction conflict seem to fester. This paper seeks to describe the concepts of conflict management, leadership and conflict in organizations and conflict management and organizational change. This paper will analyze the elements of a conflict management process and leadership organizational change and the benefits of managing conflict. The researcher holds that leadership approaches are the key important factors for conflict management. The findings of the study concluded that Conflict Management and Leadership for Organizational Change was not implemented successfully due to the negative perceptions of teachers, the lack of stakeholders support, work load, lack of sufficient resources and many more affecting factors.

description: Now days, organizations operate in a complex and changing environment that greatly enhances or influences their growth and expansion. To cope up with this changing environment and technological advancement organizations need to develop and train their employees. In addition the survival and growth of any organization depends on the quality of human resources of the company. Skills and knowledge can easily become obsolete in same way as machines or technology. So if an organization is to survive these must be constantly kept up to date through effective HRD programs. HRD is especially important in industries with rapidly changing technologic such as banking industries. Having this in mind, the study has been conducted in CBE to assess the practices HRD programs. The methodologies used to undertake the study were both primary and secondary data collection instruments. Data were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive statistics based on SPSS 20.0 and qualitative technique. The finding of the study showed that the employees have good awareness towards HRD concepts and they were able to relate those concepts with HRD. However, as the results proved the bank was not in a good track in practicing training and development, career development, organizational development and performance appraisal. The finding also indicated that the bank not in a position to doing personal analysis. Generally, based on the findings the bank did not have good HRD system. To minimize problems in the practice of HRD first and foremost, in the bank, HR should get due attention since it is an engine for other resources

description: The study aimed at exploring the effect of work life balance on job satisfaction in four selected Branches of commercial bank of Ethiopia in Debre Berhan town. To achieve this purpose, mixed study design were used to analyze the data collected through cross-sectional survey questionnaire from a sample of 135 bank employees. These respondents were selected using census sampling. The data collected from the questionnaire were analyzed using Statistical measures such as descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analysis. The major findings of the study include low level overall job satisfaction in the organizations under study, three work life balance dimensions i.e., work to personal life interference, personal life to work interference and improved effectiveness at work and job satisfaction found to be inversely and significantly related. And also indicate that work place support and satisfaction with work life balance are the most important factor to have a strong, positive and significant relationship with job satisfaction. In addition to this, five work life balance dimensions of this research significantly explain the variations in job satisfaction. However, except work place support and satisfaction with work life balance, which statistically and positively predicts the variation in job satisfaction, the three work life balance dimensions i.e. work to personal life interference, personal life to work interference and improved effectiveness at work statistically and negatively predict the variation in job satisfaction. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that Top management should realize the effect of work life balance on job satisfaction and should implement work life balance programs, practices and policies, and also it is essential that HR departments are responsive to the needs and constantly changing requirements of workforce and the effect of environmental issues in order to improve programs and policies of work life balance like locally attainable flexible work time arrangements.

description: The aim of this work was to assess the effect of chronic administration of protonated nanostructured aluminosilicate (NSAS) on the plasma cholesterol levels and development of atherosclerotic lesions in Apolipoprotein (ApoE) deficient mice fed a high cholesterol and high fat diet. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) deficient mice were divided into the following treatment groups: protonated NSAS 1.4% (w/w), untreated control and 2% (w/w) stigmastanol mixed with high-cholesterol/high-fat diet. Animals were treated for 12 weeks, blood samples were withdrawn every 4 weeks for determination of plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels. At the end of the study the aortic roots were harvested for assessment of atherosclerotic lesions. NSAS at 1.4% (w/w) and stigmastanol at 2% (w/w) treatment groups showed significant decreases in plasma cholesterol concentrations at all time points relative to the control animals. The lesion sum area in 1.4% (w/w) NSAS and 2% (w/w) stigmastanol groups were significantly less from the control animals. In conclusion, in this study, the effectiveness of chronic administration of protonated NSAS material in the reduction of plasma cholesterol levels and decrease in development of atherosclerotic lesions was demonstrated in Apo-E deficient mice model.

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: The following thesis entails the development and a feasibility study for the integration of a Service Oriented Architecture platform applied to the IEEE 1451 Sensor interface standard. The research work leverages a service oriented software-development approach via the XML Web Services Integration Framework (XWIF) process for exposing a sensor controller's application services to remote clients via web service based interfaces. Further, the J2EE framework hosts a web services based middleware. The J2EE middleware provides WSDL service interfaces for exposing operations required for sensor interaction, and a web-services communication mechanism via the SOAP XML based messaging protocol. The thesis extends the IEEE 1451.1 instrumentation standard's based platform, by introducing a software development model for web-services based sensor network applications. The prototype architecture of a web enabled 1451.1 NCAP controller connectable via the web-services middleware is investigated. Further, the research contribution presents the feasibility for introducing a service-oriented approach to distributed sensor monitoring via the developed web-services based NCAP platform connected to a real-time smart multi-sensor. Moreover, this thesis will provide the academic and instrumentation scientific community a performance study for integrating emerging web-service technologies within the instrumentation domain.

description: Background: There has emerged growing recognition of the link between housing and health. Since Vancouver, Canada has had increasing concerns with homelessness brought about by urban renewal in the lead-up to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, we evaluated hepatitis C virus (HCV) incidence among injection drug users (IDU) with and without stable housing. Methods Data were derived from a collaboration between two prospective cohort studies of IDU in Vancouver, Canada. Using Cox Proportional Hazards regression, we compared HCV incidence among participants with and without stable housing, and determined independent predictors of HCV incidence. Results Overall, 3074 individuals were recruited between May 1996 and July 2007, among whom 2541 (82.7%) were baseline HCV-infected. Among the 533 (17.3%) individuals who were not HCV-infected at baseline, 147 tested HCV antibody-positive during follow-up, for an incidence density of 16.89 (95% confidence interval: 14.76 – 19.32) per 100 person-years. In a multivariate Cox regression model, unstable housing remained independently associated with HCV infection (relative hazard = 1.47 (1.02 – 2.13). Conclusion HCV prevalence and incidence are high in this setting and were associated with unstable housing. Efforts to protect existing low-income housing and improve access to housing may help to reduce HCV incidence.
