description: Infertili ty is a ",.:arld- wide problem affecting 8- 12 % of married couples. The prevalence of infertility i n some areas of the s u b- Sahara region reaches as high as 30%. Muc h of the literature on i nfertility deals with the problems of infertility for women i n the western countries and little is known as to what puts women in sub- Sahara Africa vulnerable to infertility and as to how perceive t he causes of i nfertility. A cross- sectional s urvey was cond ucted i n r ural Butajira, Ethiopia , i n t he period between t he 1 3 th of May a nd 23'" of June , 1 999 t o determi ne the magnitude a nd potential r i sk factors of i nfertili ty. A total of 901 women in t he age gro up 20 to 29 years were enrol led into the study from surveil lance register. The prevalence of primary a nd secondary i nferti l ity was 2. 9~ and 16 .1 % respectively . Comparison was made between cases of secondary infertility and fertile women about potential risk factors. Pregnancy wastage, age at first marriage lenD than 16 years, STDs occ urring after the last pregnancy, polygamous marriage, a nd low level education of t he husba nds were fo und significa ntly associated with secondary i nfert ility . Most women with the problem of infertility i n t he area visit t he witc h-craft , more often t han the health institutions. It is recommended t hat public health officials must i ncrease t he access to and strengthe n programs aiming at t he reduction of post- partum a nd post- abortal i nfections a nd STDs . Due attention should be given for developing and implementing protocols for evaluating and managing infertility .

description: In this note, we show that the norm of an $n\times n$ random jointly exchangeable matrix with zero diagonal can be estimated in terms of the norm of its $n/2\times n/2$ submatrix located in the top right corner. As a consequence, we prove a relation between the second largest singular values of a random matrix with constant row and column sums and its top right $n/2\times n/2$ submatrix. The result has an application to estimating the spectral gap of random undirected $d$-regular graphs in terms of the second singular value of {\it directed} random graphs with predefined degree sequences.

description: With the acceleration of urbanization, traffic forecasting has become an essential role in smart city construction. In the context of spatio-temporal prediction, the key lies in how to model the dependencies of sensors. However, existing works basically only consider the micro relationships between sensors, where the sensors are treated equally, and their macroscopic dependencies are neglected. In this paper, we argue to rethink the sensor's dependency modeling from two hierarchies: regional and global perspectives. Particularly, we merge original sensors with high intra-region correlation as a region node to preserve the inter-region dependency. Then, we generate representative and common spatio-temporal patterns as global nodes to reflect a global dependency between sensors and provide auxiliary information for spatio-temporal dependency learning. In pursuit of the generality and reality of node representations, we incorporate a Meta GCN to calibrate the regional and global nodes in the physical data space. Furthermore, we devise the cross-hierarchy graph convolution to propagate information from different hierarchies. In a nutshell, we propose a Hierarchical Information Enhanced Spatio-Temporal prediction method, HIEST, to create and utilize the regional dependency and common spatio-temporal patterns. Extensive experiments have verified the leading performance of our HIEST against state-of-the-art baselines. We publicize the code to ease reproducibility.

description: We construct renormalizable Standard Model extensions, valid up to the Planck scale, that give a composite Higgs from a new fundamental strong force acting on fermions and scalars. Yukawa interactions of these particles with Standard Model fermions realize the partial compositeness scenario. Under certain assumptions on the dynamics of the scalars, successful models exist because gauge quantum numbers of Standard Model fermions admit a minimal enough 'square root'. Furthermore, right-handed SM fermions have an SU(2)$_R$-like structure, yielding a custodially-protected composite Higgs. Baryon and lepton numbers arise accidentally. Standard Model fermions acquire mass at tree level, while the Higgs potential and flavor violations are generated by quantum corrections. We further discuss accidental symmetries and other dynamical features stemming from the new strongly interacting scalars. If the same phenomenology can be obtained from models without our elementary scalars, they would reappear as composite states.

description: The vast majority of market impact studies assess each product individually, and the interactions between the different order flows are disregarded. This strong approximation may lead to an underestimation of trading costs and possible contagion effects. Transactions in fact mediate a significant part of the correlation between different instruments. In turn, liquidity shares the sectorial structure of market correlations, which can be encoded as a set of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. We introduce a multivariate linear propagator model that successfully describes such a structure, and accounts for a significant fraction of the covariance of stock returns. We dissect the various dynamical mechanisms that contribute to the joint dynamics of assets. We also define two simplified models with substantially less parameters in order to reduce overfitting, and show that they have superior out-of-sample performance.

description: Random electron systems show rich phases such as Anderson insulator, diffusive metal, quantum and anomalous quantum Hall insulator, Weyl semimetal, as well as strong/weak topological insulators. Eigenfunctions of each matter phase have specific features, but due to the random nature of systems, judging the matter phase from eigenfunctions is difficult. Here we propose the deep learning algorithm to capture the features of eigenfunctions. Localization-delocalization transition as well as disordered Chern insulator-Anderson insulator transition is discussed.

description: We calculate charmonium correlators on the lattice with 2+1-flavors of sea quarks and charm valence quark both described by the Möbius domain-wall fermion. Temporal moments of the correlators are calculated and matched to perturbative QCD formulae to extract the charm quark mass $m_c(μ)$ and strong coupling constant $α_s(μ)$. Lattice data at three lattice spacings, 0.044, 0.055, and 0.080~fm, are extrapolated to the continuum limit. The correlators in the vector channel are confirmed to be consistent with the experimental data for $e^+e^-\to c\bar{c}$, while the pseudo-scalar channel is used to extract $m_c(μ)$ and $α_s(μ)$. We obtain $m_\mathrm{c}(3 \mathrm{\ GeV})$ = 1.003(10)~GeV and $α_s^{\bar{\mathrm{MS}}(4)}(3\mathrm{\ GeV})$ = 0.253(13). Dominant source of the error is the truncation of perturbative expansion at $α_s^3$.

description: Most experimental and theoretical studies of adiabatic optimization use stoquastic Hamiltonians, whose ground states are expressible using only real nonnegative amplitudes. This raises a question as to whether classical Monte Carlo methods can simulate stoquastic adiabatic algorithms with polynomial overhead. Here, we analyze diffusion Monte Carlo algorithms. We argue that, based on differences between L1 and L2 normalized states, these algorithms suffer from certain obstructions preventing them from efficiently simulating stoquastic adiabatic evolution in generality. In practice however, we obtain good performance by introducing a method that we call Substochastic Monte Carlo. In fact, our simulations are good classical optimization algorithms in their own right, competitive with the best previously known heuristic solvers for MAX-k-SAT at k=2,3,4.

The spectral gap of dense random regular graphs

description: For any $α\in (0,1)$ and any $n^α\leq d\leq n/2$, we show that $λ(G)\leq C_α\sqrt{d}$ with probability at least $1-\frac{1}{n}$, where $G$ is the uniform random $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices, $λ(G)$ denotes its second largest eigenvalue (in absolute value) and $C_α$ is a constant depending only on $α$. Combined with earlier results in this direction covering the case of sparse random graphs, this completely settles the problem of estimating the magnitude of $λ(G)$, up to a multiplicative constant, for all values of $n$ and $d$, confirming a conjecture of Vu. The result is obtained as a consequence of an estimate for the second largest singular value of adjacency matrices of random {\it directed} graphs with predefined degree sequences. As the main technical tool, we prove a concentration inequality for arbitrary linear forms on the space of matrices, where the probability measure is induced by the adjacency matrix of a random directed graph with prescribed degree sequences. The proof is a non-trivial application of the Freedman inequality for martingales, combined with boots-trapping and tensorization arguments. Our method bears considerable differences compared to the approach used by Broder, Frieze, Suen and Upfal (1999) who established the upper bound for $λ(G)$ for $d=o(\sqrt{n})$, and to the argument of Cook, Goldstein and Johnson (2015) who derived a concentration inequality for linear forms and estimated $λ(G)$ in the range $d= O(n^{2/3})$ using size-biased couplings.

description: Predicting the success of Conversational Task Assistants (CTA) can be critical to understand user behavior and act accordingly. In this paper, we propose TB-Rater, a Transformer model which combines conversational-flow features with user behavior features for predicting user ratings in a CTA scenario. In particular, we use real human-agent conversations and ratings collected in the Alexa TaskBot challenge, a novel multimodal and multi-turn conversational context. Our results show the advantages of modeling both the conversational-flow and behavioral aspects of the conversation in a single model for offline rating prediction. Additionally, an analysis of the CTA-specific behavioral features brings insights into this setting and can be used to bootstrap future systems.

description: Given the magnitude of health problem in Africa, health services provision is a crucial component of any national development. To make practical this development, utilization of information for informed decision-making at all level of data generation must be implemented especially on HIV/ADIS. But studies shows us in Africa, the utilization rate of information at all levels where 10% and 20% in Ghana and Uganda respectively. In the interests of improving health sectors, the Ethiopian government has engaged in the sector reform, including a process of decentralizing decision-making and budgetary power to the district levels. To facilitate informed local decision-making it is not well implemented a health information system to timely and accurately to provide each level of the health sector with the necessary information. Cross sectional study was conducted from October/2005 -April/2006 to assess utilization of health information system in particular on HIV/ADIS at district health level in North Gondar, Amhara Regional stated. Quantitative data were collected using pre-tested and standardized questionnaire. In addition, reviewing of records was done in the units and departments using observational checklist to supplement quantitative data. Data was entered, cleaned and analyzed using EPI info and SPSS statically packages. Descriptive analysis was done for utilization rate of information for informed decision making by age, sex, and educational level, training, years of service, salary and position in the organization. Chi – square test, odds ratio and confidence interval was calculated to show the association between outcome and exposure variables. Logistic regression analysis was done to control confounding effect of each other. The total out come of this research paper was found be the utilization rate of information was 22.5% in all the study units and 8% especially in HIV/AIDS units and the general implementation of health information system was also found to be 12%. The source of data was found as routine reports, weekly identifiable diseases reports, vertical program reports and sometimes survey results. The utilization rate of information was affected by many factors but ix from this research only salary and training and Presence of standards data collection methods, transmission, processing, and reporting rules was found to be significant at 95 % level of significance. So we can conclude that the utilization rate of information and implementation of health information system was found to be very low in the study area. We recommend that motivation of staffs and training of individual and strengthening of Presence of standards data collection methods, transmission, processing, and reporting rules should be given attention.

description: We study the angular dependence of the flux from partially synchrotron self-absorbed conical jets (proposed by Blandford \& K{ö}nigl). We consider the jet viewed from either a side or close to on axis, and in the latter case, either from the jet top or bottom. We derive analytical formulae for the flux in each of these cases, and find the exact solution for an arbitrary angle numerically. We find that the maximum of the emission occurs when the jet is viewed from top on-axis, which is contrast to a previous result, which found the maximum at some intermediate angle and null emission on-axis. We then calculate the ratio of the jet-to-counterjet emission for this model, which depends on the viewing angle and the index of power-law electrons. We apply our results to the black-hole binary Cyg X-1. Given the jet-to-counterjet flux ratio of $\gtrsim$50 found observationally and the current estimates of the inclination, we find the jet velocity to be $\gtrsim 0.8c$. We also point out that when the projection effect is taken into account, the radio observations imply the jet half-opening angle of $\lesssim 1^{\rm o}$, a half of the value given before. When combined with the existing estimates of $Γ_{\rm j}$, the jet half-opening angle is low, $\ll 1/Γ_{\rm j}$, and much lower than values observed in blazars, unless $Γ_{\rm j}$ is much higher than currently estimated.

description: The next-generation ground-based gamma-ray Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) will consist of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) of three different sizes distributed in two sites. The Large-Sized Telescopes will cover the low-energy end of the CTA energy range, starting at about 20 GeV. After its first years of operation at the CTA northern site, the Large-Sized Telescope prototype (LST-1) is in the final stage of its commissioning phase, having collected a significant amount of scientific data to date. In this contribution, we present the physics performance of the telescope using low-zenith Crab Nebula observations and Monte Carlo simulations fine-tuned accordingly. We show performance figures of merit such as the energy threshold, effective area, energy and angular resolution, and sensitivity based on the standard Hillas-parameters approach and following the source-independent and dependent analysis methods. The analysis threshold is estimated at 30 GeV. The energy resolution is around 30%, and the angular resolution is 0.3 degrees at 100 GeV. The best integral sensitivity of LST-1 is about 1.1% of the Crab Nebula flux above 250 GeV for 50 hours of observations. We also show the spectral energy distribution and light curve from Crab Nebula observations, which agree with results from other IACTs and link smoothly with Fermi-LAT when considering statistical and systematic uncertainties near the energy threshold.

description: Introduction: Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) is anthropometric measure used to evaluate adult nutritional status that has been found to be particularly effective in determining malnutrition among adults in developing countries. Objective: To assess the sensitivity (SN) and specificity (SP) of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) in detecting under nutrition of adult people with HIV who have a follow up at ART clinic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among adults with HIV, who have follow-up in three selected Governmental Hospitals of Addis Ababa city administration. Using multi stage sampling technique, a total of 594 samples were selected. MUAC, Height and weight were measured for each participant. The BMI was calculated as Wt/Ht2. The internationally accepted cut-off points of BMI and MUAC were utilized to determine nutritional status. Receivers operating characteristic curve analyses were undertaken to discover the most suitable values of MUAC for both Men and Women. Results: The prevalence of CED based on BMI (BMI <18.5) was 39.4% and 24.3% for male and female respectively, while based on MUAC ( ≤ 230 mm& ≤ 220mm) were 48.4% and 35.7% for male and female respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of MUAC for Female with optimal criteria of ≤224mm were 92.7% and 87.2%, whereas for Males MUAC with optimal criteria of ≤234mm were 94.9% and 68.5% respectively. The area under curve (AUC) was 0.93 (p<0.001). A MUAC value of ≤239mm was identified as the best cut off-points to identify CED (BMI <18.5) with SN and SP of 96.43% and 72.62%, respectively. The PPV was 56.6% (CI 89.9-99.3) with the highest NPV 98.2% (CI 66.8-77.9), thus having the highest Youden Index of 0.21. A MUAC value of ≤242mm was identified as the best cut off to identify CED (BMI <18.5) with SN and SP of 96.91% and 58.39%, respectively. The PPV was 46.3 %( CI 91.2-99.4) with the highest NPV 98.1% (CI 50.0-66.4), thus having the highest Youden Index of 0.32. Conclusion: a MUAC value of close to 242 mm (male) and 239mm (female) seemed to be appropriate as a simple and efficient cut-off point for the determination of under nutrition in adult PLWHIV.

description: Confinement has been suggested as a tool to tune the self-assembly properties of nanoparticles, surfactants, polymers and colloids. In this way, we explore the phase diagram of Janus nanoparticles using Molecular Dynamics simulations. The nanoparticle was modeled as a dimer made by one monomer that interacts by a standard Lennard Jones potential and another monomer that is modeled using a two-length scale shoulder potential. This specific design of nanoparticle exhibits in bulk distinct self-assembled structures and water-like diffusion anomaly. Our results indicate that besides the aggregates observed in bulk, new structures are observed under confinement. Also, the dynamic and thermodynamic behavior of the fluid phase are affected. The systems show a reentrant fluid phase and density anomaly. None of these two features were observed in bulk. Our results show that geometrical confinement leads to new structural, thermodynamical and dynamical behavior for this Janus nanoparticle.

description: Athletes and their mental health is something that is rarely ever talked about. Specifically, their mental health during an injury. However, it is finally time that this changes. The literature includes studies that provide insight to just how detrimental an athletes mental health during the time of injury can be. This project aims to exemplify the mental health issues that accompany athletes as they travel through their injury process. The project collects data regarding the athlete’s mind to examine the struggles underneath the surface of collegiate athletics. Interviews from five athletes from different sports on campus at California State University, Fullerton were the source of the data. There is a strong correlation of injuries to depression, and other mental health issues. This mental health journey from an athlete’s time of injury to completed rehabilitation should not be taken lightly. Athletes should be treated with priority regarding both physical and emotional needs during this time.

description: Background: Motor impairment and loss of balance and gait are the main factors affecting the independent function and activity participation of stroke patients. Haptic Anchor System is one of the modalities that can be used in physiotherapy and has a great effect on different impairments like improving postural control, trunk stability during balance tasks, and balance control during walking.

Objective: To determine the effect of the haptic anchor system on the rehabilitation of dynamic balance and gait in patients with chronic stroke.

Patients and Methods: Thirty patients with unilateral ischemic stroke of both sexes participated in this study, whose ages ranged between 45 to 60 years. They were randomly distributed into two equal groups: the control group (GA) and the study group (GB). The control group received a designed physical therapy program including a conventional balance and gait program, and the study group received the same designed physical therapy program given to the control group for balance and gait in addition to the haptic anchor system. The treatment was conducted for 12 sessions (2 sessions/week) 45 minutes for each session. The study was conducted a 6-week period in which all patients were assessed for dynamic balance and gait at baseline and after a 6-week intervention by using Biodex Balance System (BBS), Biodex gait trainer 2 TM treadmill, dynamic gait index (DGI) and timed up and go test (TUG).

Results: Comparison post-treatment results for both groups revealed statistically significant improvement of the step length, ambulation index, walking speed, LOS, TUG, APSI, and OASI in study group B compared to the control group A (P<0.05). Comparison between both groups revealed no significant difference regarding DGI (p = 0.33) and MLSI (p = 0.30) post-treatment.

Conclusion: Conventional balance and gait trainings alone may be not sufficient to improve balance and gait in chronic stroke patients .Adding the haptic anchor system to the rehabilitation program seems to be favorable approach in improving dynamic balance parameters (APSI, MLSI, OASI, and LOS) and gait parameters (step length, ambulation index, walking speed, DGI, and TUG) in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic stroke than conventional program alone.

description: We discuss the prospects of performing high-order perturbative calculations in systems characterized by a vanishing temperature but finite density. In particular, we show that the determination of generic Feynman integrals containing fermionic chemical potentials can be reduced to the evaluation of three-dimensional phase space integrals over vacuum on-shell amplitudes - a result reminiscent of a previously proposed "naive real-time formalism" for vacuum diagrams. Applications of these rules are discussed in the context of the thermodynamics of cold and dense QCD, where it is argued that they facilitate an extension of the Equation of State of cold quark matter to higher perturbative orders.

description: We present ALMA observations of cold dust and molecular gas in four high-luminosity, heavily reddened (A$_{\rm{V}} \sim 2.5-6$ mag) Type 1 quasars at $z\sim2.5$ with virial M$_{\rm{BH}} \sim 10^{10}$M$_\odot$, to test whether dusty, massive quasars represent the evolutionary link between submillimetre bright galaxies (SMGs) and unobscured quasars. All four quasars are detected in both the dust continuum and in the $^{12}$CO(3-2) line. The mean dust mass is 6$\times$10$^{8}$M$_\odot$ assuming a typical high redshift quasar spectral energy distribution (T=41K, $β$=1.95 or T=47K, $β$=1.6). The implied star formation rates are very high - $\gtrsim$1000 M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$ in all cases. Gas masses estimated from the CO line luminosities cover $\sim$1-5$\times10^{10}$($α_{\rm{CO}} / 0.8$)M$_\odot$ and the gas depletion timescales are very short - $\sim5-20$Myr. A range of gas-to-dust ratios is observed in the sample. We resolve the molecular gas in one quasar - ULASJ2315$+$0143 ($z=2.561$) - which shows a strong velocity gradient over $\sim$20 kpc. The velocity field is consistent with a rotationally supported gas disk but other scenarios, e.g. mergers, cannot be ruled out at the current resolution of these data. In another quasar - ULASJ1234+0907 ($z=2.503$) - we detected molecular line emission from two millimetre bright galaxies within 200 kpc of the quasar, suggesting that this quasar resides in a significant over-density. The high detection rate of both cold dust and molecular gas in these sources, suggests that reddened quasars could correspond to an early phase in massive galaxy formation associated with large gas reservoirs and significant star formation.

description: Introduction: The consumption pattern that women adhere to during pregnancy has great potential to affect the future health condition of both the mother and the fetus. Despite maternal nutritional problems continued to be public health concerns of the country, consumption pattern studies among pregnant women is limited. Objective: To assess food consumption pattern, nutrient intake and association with different maternal characteristics among Ante Natal Care attending pregnant women in Bishoftu town, East Shoa, Ethiopia. Method: A facility based cross sectional study was conducted to among 369 pregnant women. Dietary intake was assessed using semi quantitative food frequency questionnaire composed of 70 food items. Consumption patterns were identified using factor analysis method. Multivariate regression in age and calorie adjusted model was done to determine characteristics of participants in each pattern identified. All analysis was done using STATA version 12.1 and a Pvalue< 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: Four major consumption patterns were identified. Namely "varied pattern","Cereal, vegetable and tea based pattern", "Cereal, meat and sweet based pattern" and "cereal, root &tuber and coffee based pattern". Calorie, fat, vitamin A, folate, calcium intakes and zinc particularly among third trimester pregnant women were deficient. Maternal age, marital status, maternal education and occupation, husband education, socioeconomic status, and snack habit were positively correlated whereas household size, gravidity, fasting, food restriction and chronic disease were negatively correlated with the varied consumption pattern. Conclussion: Cereals dominated consumption pattern of pregnant women. Three of the patterns lack variety which may have exposed participants to nutrient deficiency. Those who are young, single/ divorced, educated at lower level and with low socioeconomic status were less likely to adhere to varied (healthier) consumption pattern and had decreased calorie intake. The findings underscore the need for nutrition counseling with more emphasis to the identified risk groups. Key Words: Pregnancy, consumption pattern, nutrient intake, Semi quantitative FFQ, factor analysis

description: Background: Breast cancer is the leading cancer among women in Ethiopia worldwide. Cancer patients are always eager to have information about every topic related to their illness and having the information is helpful for them to cope and for a better quality of life. But little is known about the information needs of breast cancer patients. So this study will address that gap. Objective: Assessing the information needs of breast cancer patients attending care at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa Ethiopia, 2017 Methods: Hospital based cross sectional study and qualitative methods was used. Toronto informational needs questionnaire was used to address the information needs and data on sociodemographic factors was assessed using structured questionnaire from literatures. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients and their care givers to support the quantitative part. Likert scales to determine whether patients need to know more about 52 items of information categorized under five domains namely treatment, disease, and investigative tests, physical and psychosocial was used. High mean score show higher information needs. One way ANOVA and regression was done to see association of sociodemographic and clinical variables with information needs. All statistical analysis was performed using STATA (Version 14), and statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Result: The total mean score for overall information need among breast cancer patients is 238.7(22.5) which means 4.59 with a range scale of 156-260. Among the five subscales information on disease and information on treatment were the most highly needed areas with mean percentage of 94.8 and 93.7 respectively and 254(67%) of them preferred the information to come from health professionals. Diagnosing as stage IV (p=0.02) &Urban residence is associated with less and high information needs respectively when compared to other categories. Conclusion and recommendation: The information needs of breast cancer patients were high. Determining what the patient's needs is an important aspect of providing health care especially in cancer care. The health care system should include a way of information provision for breast cancer patients based on their needs.

description: Time-periodic light field can dress the electronic states and lead to light-induced emergent properties in quantum materials. While below-gap pumping is regarded favorable for Floquet engineering, so far direct experimental evidence of momentum-resolved band renormalization still remains missing. Here, we report experimental evidence of light-induced band renormalization in black phosphorus by pumping at photon energy of 160 meV which is far below the band gap, and the distinction between below-gap pumping and near-resonance pumping is revealed. Our work demonstrates light-induced band engineering upon below-gap pumping, and provides insights for extending Floquet engineering to more quantum materials.

description: The hot intra-cluster medium (ICM) is rich in metals, which are synthesized by supernovae (SNe) explosions and accumulate over time into the deep gravitational potential well of clusters of galaxies. Since most of the elements visible in X-rays are formed by type Ia (SNIa) and/or core-collapse (SNcc) supernovae, measuring their abundances gives us direct information on the nucleosynthesis products of billions of SNe since the epoch of the star formation peak (z ~ 2-3). In this study, we use the EPIC and RGS instruments onboard XMM-Newton to measure the abundances of 9 elements (O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca, Fe and Ni) from a sample of 44 nearby cool-core galaxy clusters, groups, and elliptical galaxies. We find that the Fe abundance shows a large scatter (~20-40%) over the sample, within 0.2$r_{500}$ and, especially, 0.05$r_{500}$. Unlike the absolute Fe abundance, the abundance ratios (X/Fe) are quite uniform over the considered temperature range (~0.6-8 keV), and with a limited scatter. In addition to a unprecedented treatment of systematic uncertainties, we provide the most accurate abundance ratios measured so far in the ICM, including Cr/Fe and Mn/Fe that we firmly detect (>4σ with MOS and pn independently). We find that Cr/Fe, Mn/Fe and Ni/Fe, differ significantly from the proto-solar values. However, the large uncertainties in the proto-solar abundances prevent us from making a robust comparison between the local and the intra-cluster chemical enrichments. We also note that, interestingly, and despite the large net exposure time (~4.5 Ms) of our dataset, no line emission feature is seen around ~3.5 keV.
