description: Plastic relaxation of the misfit stress in core-shell semi-conducting nanowires can lead to structural defects, detrimental to applications. Core-shell Zn{0.7}Mg{0.3}O/ZnO quantum well heterostructures were deposited on ZnO nanowires. Strain along the a and c axes of the wurtzite structure is relaxed through the glide of dislocation half-loops from the free surfaces, within pyramidal and prismatic planes. Some half-loops are closed up in the barriers to accommodate the misfit at two consecutive interfaces of the quantum well stack. Dislocations are also observed within the nanowire core: contrary to two-dimensional structures, both the core and the shell can be plastically relaxed.

description: Abstract Background: Equipping leaders and creating responsibility for quality healthcare data and utilization is considered the most critical driver in the health sector. However, it is unclear how training of the health workforce improves the generation and use of quality health data in a resource-limited setting of Ethiopia. Objective: The study was aimed to measure the effect of implementing the training and post-training follow-up of the health sector leaders to improve the generation and use of healthcare data quality in Assosa district, Ethiopia. Methods: Pre-post quasi-experimental study design was employed to measure the effect of training and post-training follow-up on data quality and use. One health center and one general hospital in the district were included to measure the effect of training and post-training follow-up intervention on the generation and use of quality health data. The intervention involved health system leaders in the district. The consistency of selected indicators and information use was presented using changes in percentage points before and after the intervention. Results: Of the total departments, 9 (52.9%) were from the health center and 11(47.1%) were from the hospital. The study found that training and post-training follow-up interventions have positively affected data quality and information use. According to the findings, data accuracy and information use were improved by 23, 10.7, and 16.7 percentage points increment at health center, hospital, and district level, respectively. Similarly, information use was improved by 22.3, 34.1, and 28.2 percentage points increment due to the TPF intervention at health centers, hospitals, and districts, respectively. Conclusions: Training followed by feedback, mentoring, and performance review meetings were effective implementation strategies in improving data quality and information use. The coverage and effectiveness of the implementation were also promising, and further scaling up in a similar setting can improve health system data quality and use. [Ethiop. J.

description: We discuss the possibility of geometrizing interactions by exploiting the "principle of solidarity" between space-time and the physical phenomena occurring in it (formulated by the Italian matematician B. Finzi in 1955). This is accomplished by means of a deformation of the Minkowski metric, implemented by assuming that the metric coefficients depend on the energy of the process considered. Such a formalism ("Deformed Special Relativity") allows one, among the others, to deal with the breakdown of Lorentz invariance and to recover it in a generalized sense.

description: Abstract Background: Quality health data production is vital for effective evidence-based decision-making in the health-care industry. Several factors challenge using complete and timely health data in practice. This study evaluated how the Performance-Based None-financial Intervention (PBNI) intervention was reached, effective, adapted, implemented as per the protocol, and able to sustain in the contextual environment using RE-AIM framework. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the implementation outcomes of PBNI with the coverage (reach), effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the intervention. Methods: The intervention was implemented in Wogera district, northwest Ethiopia. The study used a mixed study design. The quantitative component has a quasi-experimental study design to assess the change in data use due to PBNI. The qualitative component has a phenomenological design to assess the lived experience of participants. The coverage (reach) and effectiveness of PBNI intervention were assessed with descriptive statistics. Key informant interviewees were used to evaluate the adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the PBNI implementation. The coverage and effectiveness of the intervention were assessed using proportions and numbers. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the qualitative data. Results: A total of 13 participants were involved in the qualitative assessment. Concerning the reach of PBNI, all (six) health centers, all (i.e., 42) departments, and all health workers in the six health centers were covered. Regarding its effectiveness, the data use has resulted in percentage changes of 31% (p-value < 0.001). Concerning the adoption of PBNI, the health management information system focal person confirmed that their health facilities would implement it even after the completion of the project. The implementers were consistently communicating, evaluating performance, and intervening consistently throughout the intervention period, showing the implementation's fidelity. The finding indicated that sustaining PBNI intervention needs strong governmental commitment and active HIS leaders to improve quality health data production and use. Conclusion: The coverage of PBNI, the intervention's effectiveness, and the implementation's adoption were promising. Moreover, there was a conducive environment at the individual, case-team, and facility levels to sustain PBNI. However, long-lasting sustainability would depend on the commitment of the implementer, donor, and government. [Ethiop. J. Health Dev. 2023;37 (SI-1)]

description: We present the numerical simulations for an electron-beam-driven and loss-cone-driven electron-cyclotron maser (ECM) with different plasma parameters and different magnetic field strengths for a relatively small region and short time-scale in an attempt to interpret the recent discovered intense radio emission from ultracool dwarfs. We find that a large amount of electromagnetic field energy can be effectively released from the beam-driven ECM, which rapidly heats the surrounding plasma. A rapidly developed high-energy tail of electrons in velocity space (resulting from the heating process of the ECM) may produce the radio continuum depending on the initial strength of the external magnetic field and the electron beam current. Both significant linear polarization and circular polarization of electromagnetic waves can be obtained from the simulations. The spectral energy distributions of the simulated radio waves show that harmonics may appear from 10 to 70$ν_{\rm pe}$ ($ν_{\rm pe}$ is the electron plasma frequency) in the non-relativistic case and from 10 to 600$ν_{\rm pe}$ in the relativistic case, which makes it difficult to find the fundamental cyclotron frequency in the observed radio frequencies. A wide frequency band should therefore be covered by future radio observations.

Electronic levels and electrical response of periodic molecular structures from plane-wave orbital-dependent calculations

description: Plane-wave electronic-structure predictions based upon orbital-dependent density-functional theory (OD-DFT) approximations, such as hybrid density-functional methods and self-interaction density-functional corrections, are severely affected by computational inaccuracies in evaluating electron interactions in the plane-wave representation. These errors arise from divergence singularities in the plane-wave summation of electrostatic and exchange interaction contributions. Auxiliary-function corrections are reciprocal-space countercharge corrections that cancel plane-wave singularities through the addition of an auxiliary function to the point-charge electrostatic kernel that enters into the expression of interaction terms. At variance with real-space countercharge corrections that are employed in the context of density-functional theory (DFT), reciprocal-space corrections are computationally inexpensive, making them suited to more demanding OD-DFT calculations. Nevertheless, there exists much freedom in the choice of auxiliary functions and various definitions result in different levels of performance in eliminating plane-wave inaccuracies. In this work, we derive exact point-charge auxiliary functions for the description of molecular structures of arbitrary translational symmetry, including the yet unaddressed one-dimensional case. In addition, we provide a critical assessment of different reciprocal-space countercharge corrections and demonstrate the improved accuracy of point-charge auxiliary functions in predicting the electronic levels and electrical response of conjugated polymers from plane-wave OD-DFT calculations.

title: Tangible Interactions for Privacy Awareness and Control in Ubiquitous Computing Environments
Creators: name: Mehta, Vikram
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: The emergence of ubiquitous computing (UbiComp) environments has increased the risk of undesired access to individuals’ physical space or their information, anytime and anywhere, raising serious privacy concerns. Individuals lack awareness of and control over vulnerabilities in everyday contexts and need support in regulating disclosures to their physical and digital selves. However, existing solutions based on Graphical User Interface (GUI) often feel physically interruptive, socially disruptive, time-consuming, and cumbersome, especially when managing privacy dynamically. This thesis presents an investigation into the design of tangible privacy management tools situated in a socio-technical context of ubiquitous devices for enabling users to manage their privacy in an ad-hoc manner. To consider users’ privacy perceptions, needs, pain-points, and feedback, a user centric approach is followed. Five user studies are conducted which help to contribute (1) a conceptual framework, (2) a set of user-preferred Image Schemas to extract context specific primary interaction metaphors for ad-hoc privacy management, (3) implementation of a two-device hybrid tangible user interface (TUI) system, and (4) a card-based ideation toolkit. The thesis concludes that a hybrid TUI system with modular hardware and configurable software, which is not only hybrid in terms of form-factor and tangible interaction modalities, but also in terms of interactions styles, can effectively enhance the experience of users when managing privacy ad-hoc in dynamic UbiComp environments.
The National Association of Women Artists presents the Fifty-first Annual Exhibition, 1943
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1943

description: The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) was established in 1889 and is the oldest professional women's fine arts organization in the United States. NAWA's mission is to promote awareness of, and interest in, visual art created by women in the United States. As part of this effort NAWA holds an annual exhibition of works by members of the association and publishes an exhibition catalog to accompany or commemorate the annual exhibitions. These catalogs not only function as an exhibition catalog, but also as a document that summarizes the structure, membership, and activities of the association.Information that can be found in these catalogs includes lists of officers, members of the executive board and committees, prize winners, lists of exhibitor and members, and images of some of the artwork exhibited. Catalogs from the 2000s also include information on NAWA events and activities beyond the annual exhibition.Please note that the numbering of the annual catalogs was adjusted in 1960 and again in 1971. For example, NAWA designated the annual exhibition in 1960 as the 70th Anniversary Exhibition after 1959 was the 67th Annual Exhibition. These adjustments appear to have been made to reflect the date of the founding of the association, so that, by 1989, the annual exhibition commemorated the 100-year anniversary of the founding of NAWA in 1889.

description: It is believed that magnetic activity on the Sun and solar-type stars are tightly related to the dynamo process driven by the interaction between rotation, convection, and magnetic field. However, the detailed mechanisms of this process are still incompletely understood. Many questions remain unanswered, e.g.: why some stars are more active than others?; why some stars have a flat activity?; why is there a Maunder minimum?; are all the cycles regular? A large number of prox- ies are typically used to study the magnetic activity of stars as we cannot resolve stellar discs. Recently, it was shown that asteroseismology can also be used to study stellar activity, making it an even more powerful tool. If short cycles are not so un- common, we expect to detect many of them with missions such as CoRoT, Kepler, and possibly the PLATO mission. We will review some of the latest results obtained with spectroscopic measurements. We will show how asteroseismology can help us to better understand the complex process of dynamo and illustrate how the CoRoT and Kepler missions are revolutionizing our knowledge on stellar activity. A new window is being opened over our understanding of the magnetic variability of stars.

description: Abstract Introduction: Several behavioral and moral factors influence health information use and practice, including healthcare motivation. A performance-based non-financial incentive (PBNI) intervention was developed to improve the quality of data and information use practices in the Wogera district. Objectives: This research aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of PBNI interventions to improve data quality and information use practices in Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: In the northwest Ethiopian districts of Wogera (the intervention site) and Tach-Armachiho (the comparison site), a quasi-experimental study was carried out. The study included health centers, departments, and health professionals. Six health centers and health professionals working at the health centers were included. PBNI intervention, including different motivation packages, was implemented at Wogera district health facilities. Before and following the intervention, the Wogera and Tach-Armachiho districts' performance in terms of health information was evaluated. The cost of the intervention was estimated using an activity-based, bottom-up approach. Calculations were made to determine the incremental cost-effectiveness and average cost-effectiveness ratio. Result: The study enrolled eighty-six study departments. Of these, 42 (48.8%) were from Wogera district. In comparison to the comparative group's 52,078 ETB, the average cost-effectiveness ratio for the PBNI intervention was 20,970 ETB per unit percentage improvement in HIS performance. But the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for PBNI intervention showed 10,600.5 ETB/percentage point HIS performance improvement. Conclusion: The performance of the health information system in healthcare institutions was improved through the integration of PBNI with implementation packages for health information. Therefore, PBNI should be designed as one motivational strategy by the health institutions to incentivize health providers to improve data quality and evidence-based decision-making with limited resources.

description: Geometries of eroding landscapes contain important information about geologic, climatic, biotic and geomorphic processes. They are also characterized by variability, which makes disentangling their origins challenging. Observations and physical models of fluvial processes, which set the pace of erosion on most continents, emphasize complexity and variability. By contrast, the spectral content of longitudinal river profiles and similarity of geometries at scales greater than approximately 100 km highlight relatively simple emergent properties. A general challenge then, addressed in this manuscript, is development of a theory of landscape evolution that embraces such scale-dependent insights. We do so by incorporating randomness and probability into a theory of fluvial erosion. First, we explore the use of stochastic differential equations of the Langevin type, and the Fokker–Planck equation, for predicting migration of erosional fronts. Second, analytical approaches incorporating distributions of driving forces, critical thresholds and associated proxies are developed. Finally, a linear programming approach is introduced, that, at its core, treats evolution of longitudinal profiles as a Markovian stochastic problem. The theory is developed essentially from first principles and incorporates physics governing fluvial erosion. We explore predictions of this theory, including the natural growth of discontinuities and scale-dependent evolution, including local complexity and emergent simplicity.

description: Collecting quality data and using it for day to day decision making are essential components of a well-functioning health system (1). In Ethiopia, a health management information system has been implemented at all levels of the health care delivery system to ensure the information is used for evidence-based planning and decision-making (2). Because it is the basis for planning and policymaking at all levels of the health care system, still the government of Ethiopia is harmonizing the issue as one of the frontline agendas of the health sector transformation plan in the country (1). However, it still faces several challenges, and the changes are not as they were supposed to be. Theoretically, it is known that motivating and incentivizing staff enhance their performance which could improve service outcomes. A recent study showed that incentivizing health outcome improvement is an increasingly important attribute in the health system of low and middle-income countries (3). Moreover, availing and using healthcare data for clinical practices and administrative decision-making by health system leadership is a vital neglected step to improve better health outcomes in a given society

description: As part of an ongoing collaboration between student groups at high schools and professional astronomers, we have searched for the presence of circum-binary planets in a bona-fide unbiased sample of twelve post-common envelope binaries (PCEBs) from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Although the present ephemerides are significantly more accurate than previous ones, we find no clear evidence for orbital period variations between 2005 and 2011 or during the 2011 observing season. The sparse long-term coverage still permits O-C variations with a period of years and an amplitude of tens of seconds, as found in other systems. Our observations provide the basis for future inferences about the frequency with which planet-sized or brown-dwarf companions have either formed in these evolved systems or survived the common envelope (CE) phase.

description: Abstract Background: Patients suffering from coronary artery diseases have some depression and anxiety, as these are the frequent causes of mortality. The self-management programmes showed noteworthy effects on the chronic illnesses. Aim: The current study was carried out to evaluate the impacts of the angina plan on depression, anxiety, and QoL in individuals after angioplasty. Methods: This study was done in various specific hospitals and divided the patients into groups such as experimental and control. Height, weight, and blood pressure were also measured. The history of vascular coronary involvement, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, and smoking were also obtained. Then a twelve-week intervention plan for angina was also performed. Results: The results regarding depression and anxiety were also analysed by t-test independently using SPSS. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant, indicating that the angina self-management plan was effective in reducing anxiety and improving QoL ‘s perception. Conclusion: According to study findings and the favourable features of the angina approach to decreasing anxiety as an essential component in the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD), it is envisaged that the use of these programmes will play a key role in monitoring the CAD process and preventing coronary events.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude and drug resistance profile of ESBL producing gram-negative bacteria isolated from various inanimate objects at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH). Methods: Laboratory based study was conducted on stored isolates from January to March 2019. The samples were taken from different inanimate objects (Intensive care unit (ICU) tables, ICU sinks, ICU IV stands, ICU beds, Incubators, ICU pediatrics trolley, oxygen regulators, Operation room (OR) tables, OR beds, OR computers, OR doors, lift buttons, x-ray chairs, and some other items) in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital(TASH) and 216 isolates were used for further analysis. Biochemical tests for identification and antimicrobial susceptibility test were done by disc diffusion method. Screening of ESBLs was done using ESBL CHROME agar and confirmed with a combined disk diffusion test. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version -20 and descriptive statistical tests including frequency and percentage were calculated. Results: In this study out of 216 gram negative bacteria, 15.3% of them were found to be ESBL producers based on the confirmatory test (combined disk method) from the various inanimate objects of TASH. Klebsiella ozaenae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis, Citrobacter spp, Escherichia coli, Serriatia spp and Acinetobacter spp were ESBL producing gram-negative bacteria and found to be 100% resistant to ceftazidime and ceftriaxone. Conclusion: It is worrisome to detect ESBL producing gram-negative bacteria from the inanimate objects of TASH, calling for systematic screening of inanimate objects for ESBL and other multidrug-resistant bacteria in the hospital. Furthermore, strengthening the infection prevention practice is vital to halt the transmission of these microorganisms. [Ethiop. J.

description: Abstract Background: - Stroke is the leading explanation for neurological disability and the second commonest cause of death in the world. Even though renal dysfunction is among commonly encountered comorbidity in acute stroke patients, there was no data on the prevalence and associated factors of renal dysfunction among acute stroke patients in Ethiopia. Objective: This study aimed to determine the magnitude of renal dysfunction and factors associated with renal dysfunction among hospitalized acute stroke patients. Method: Hospital based retrospective cross sectional study wasonducted among all acute stroke patients admitted to Saint Peterâ€™s specialized hospital from January to December 2021. The Data were collected from patient medical charts using a structured checklist. SPSS 23.0 was used to analysis the collected data. In order to evaluate the factors associated with renal dysfunction, statistical logistic regression with a level of Î± set at 0.05 was employeed. For variables with a p<0.05, statistical significance was considered. Result: The study included 118 acute stroke patients, with a mean and standard deviation age of 60.1Â±14.9 years, and 63(53.4%) were males. 22 (18.6%) of the study, population had renal dysfunction. Males were more commonly 12(54.5%) affected than females. Diabetes mellitus had statistically significant association with renal dysfunction (p=0.031). Patients who had renal dysfunction had a higher mortality rate (31.8%) as compared with patients with normal renal function (21.9%). Conclusion: Renal dysfunction is a frequent comorbidity in patients who are admitted with the diagnosis of acute stroke and had a higher mortality rate than stroke patients with normal renal function.

description: Electronic charges introduced in copper-oxide planes generate high-transition temperature superconductivity but, under special circumstances, they can also order into filaments called stripes. Whether an underlying tendency of charges to order is present in all cuprates and whether this has any relationship with superconductivity are, however, two highly controversial issues. In order to uncover underlying electronic orders, magnetic fields strong enough to destabilise superconductivity can be used. Such experiments, including quantum oscillations in YBa2Cu3Oy (a notoriously clean cuprate where charge order is not observed) have suggested that superconductivity competes with spin, rather than charge, order. Here, using nuclear magnetic resonance, we demonstrate that high magnetic fields actually induce charge order, without spin order, in the CuO2 planes of YBa2Cu3Oy. The observed static, unidirectional, modulation of the charge density breaks translational symmetry, thus explaining quantum oscillation results, and we argue that it is most likely the same 4a-periodic modulation as in stripe-ordered cuprates. The discovery that it develops only when superconductivity fades away and near the same 1/8th hole doping as in La2-xBaxCuO4 suggests that charge order, although visibly pinned by CuO chains in YBa2Cu3Oy, is an intrinsic propensity of the superconducting planes of high Tc cuprates.

Intention to screen for cervical cancer and factors associated among female healthcare professionals using the trans-theoretical model: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

description: Abstract Background: Healthcare providers can serve as role models to facilitate a supportive environment that encourages women to utilize screening for cervical cancer. Equally important is that being a female healthcare professional does not prevent the risk of cervical cancer. Therefore, this study aims to assess the intention of screening with visual inspection of acetic acid (VIA) and its determinants among female healthcare professionals (HCPs), guided by the trans-theoretical model (TTM) of stages of behavior change. Method: A cross-sectional study design was used to test readiness for cervical screening among selected female HCPs. A structured, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. The analysis included descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Result: Four hundred sixty female HCPs with a mean age of M=33.8, +5 years participated. The intention to participate in cervical cancer screening was 44.1%. Over (half 52% of the participants) had poor knowledge of cervical cancer and screening. Regarding the TTM stages of change, 46.5% of participants indicated being in the pre-contemplation phase, suggesting they had never a VIA screen and had no intention of being screened within the next six months. In the final logistic regression model, four factors, including age, being screened in the past three years, taking care of patients with cervical cancer, and having good to moderate knowledge of cervical cancer and screening, were statistically significant, with large odds ratios for their association with intention to screen. Conclusions: Most of the participants were in the pre-contemplation phase, and the limited knowledge health workers had about cervical cancer screening is worrisome. Intervening in the factors that affect intention for screening is vital to reducing barriers to cervical screening among female healthcare workers as well as the broader female population in Ethiopia. Providing cancer screening guidelines to all HCPs, regardless of their specialty, could be a key factor in lessening the burden of cervical cancer. [Ethiop. J.

description: We present numerical and analytical results for the optical and acoustic plasmon collective modes of coupled massless-Dirac two-dimensional electron systems. Our results apply to topological insulator (TI) thin films and to two graphene sheets separated by a thin dielectric barrier layer. We find that because of strong bulk dielectric screening TI acoustic modes are locked to the top of the particle-hole continuum and therefore probably unobservable.

description: The early-type spiral NGC 4698 is known to host a nuclear disc of gas and stars which is rotating perpendicularly with respect to the galaxy main disc. In addition, the bulge and main disc are characterised by a remarkable geometrical decoupling. Indeed they appear elongated orthogonally to each other. In this work the complex structure of the galaxy is investigated by a detailed photometric decomposition of optical and near-infrared images. The intrinsic shape of the bulge was constrained from its apparent ellipticity, its twist angle with respect to the major axis of the main disc, and the inclination of the main disc. The bulge is actually elongated perpendicular to the main disc and it is equally likely to be triaxial or axisymmetric. The central surface brightness, scalelength, inclination, and position angle of the nuclear disc were derived by assuming it is infinitesimally thin and exponential. Its size, orientation, and location do not depend on the observed passband. These findings support a scenario in which the nuclear disc is the end result of the acquisition of external gas by the pre-existing triaxial bulge on the principal plane perpendicular to its shortest axis and perpendicular to the galaxy main disc. The subsequent star formation either occurred homogeneously all over the extension of the nuclear disc or through an inside-out process that ended more than 5 Gyr ago.
