description: Este estudo foi delineado para apresentar o uso de elementos da teoria de conjuntos no ensino do design de software sob o paradigma orientado a objetos(OO) no qual estão presentes conceitos de classe, pacotes, objetos e relações entre esses conceitos. Para tanto, (05) cinco projetos com temas livres envolvendo elementos(abstratos, concretos e imaginários) foram acompanhados durante o tempo de um mês e meio. Elementos da teoria de conjuntos serviram para visualizar a modelagem tanto na perspectiva estática (quantidade de conceitos, relacionamentos entre conceitos entre ou inter pacotes) quanto na perspectiva dinâmica (objetos na memória do computador). Resultados mostraram que houve um incremento tanto na presença quanto na frequência de conceitos. Tais resultados orientam em atividades de ensino de modelagem OO, bem como na criação de uma ferramenta para visualização de dados, (gráficos de barra, por exemplo) para modelagem OO apoiada em elementos da teoria de conjuntos.

description: Time periodic forcing in the form of coherent radiation is a standard tool for the coherent manipulation of small quantum systems like single atoms. In the last years, periodic driving has more and more also been considered as a means for the coherent control of many-body systems. In particular, experiments with ultracold quantum gases in optical lattices subjected to periodic driving in the lower kilohertz regime have attracted a lot of attention. Milestones include the observation of dynamic localization, the dynamic control of the quantum phase transition between a bosonic superfluid and a Mott insulator, as well as the dynamic creation of strong artificial magnetic fields and topological band structures. This article reviews these recent experiments and their theoretical description. Moreover, fundamental properties of periodically driven many-body systems are discussed within the framework of Floquet theory, including heating, relaxation dynamics, anomalous topological edge states, and the response to slow parameter variations.

description: A recently developed plasma-wall self-organization (PWSO) model predicts a significantly enhanced density limit, which may be attainable in tokamaks with ECRH-assisted ohmic startup and sufficiently high initial neutral density. Experiments have been conducted on J-TEXT to validate such a density limit scenario based on this model. Experimental results demonstrate that increasing the pre-filled gas pressure or ECRH power during the startup phase can effectively enhance plasma purity and raise the density limit at the flat-top. Despite the dominant carbon fraction in the wall material, some discharges approach the edge of the density-free regime of the 1D model of PWSO.

The Effect Of Relationship Marketing Factors On Customer Loyalty: A Study On Pharmaceutical Retailers And Their Suppliers At Addis Ababa City
Creators: name: Yimam, Muluken
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Competition in the pharmaceutical market is intense since most innovative products are duplicated by generic pharmaceutical product manufacturers. In other hand continuous supply of these vital products to consumers is more than doing a business for profit. Relationship marketing approaches are important in doing business and satisfying customers in the pharmaceutical sector. The objective of the study is to examine the effect of relationship marketing factors of quality service, communication, trust, commitment and financial factors effect on customer loyalty in the pharmaceutical business to business(between retailers and their suppliers) sector. A conceptual framework was used to see the relationship between relationship marketing variables and customer loyalty. A quantitative approach is chosen in this research. In order to collect primary data, a structured questionnaire was adopted and was given to the retail pharmacists taken as a sample. The SPSS version 20.00 for windows was used to process the primary data which was collected through questionnaire. The findings show that quality service factors, communication and financial factors have a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty. Whereas the hypothesis that trust and commitment factors have a significant effect on customer loyalty is not supported by the result of this study

On the classification of Generalized Quasitopological Gravities

Year: 2023

description: Generalized Quasitopological Gravities (GQTGs) are higher-order extensions of Einstein gravity in $D$ dimensions satisfying a number of interesting properties, such as possessing second-order linearized equations of motion on top of maximally symmetric backgrounds, admitting non-hairy generalizations of the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole which are characterized by a single metric function or forming a perturbative spanning set of the space of effective theories of gravity. In this work, we classify all inequivalent GQTGs at all curvature orders $n$ and spacetime dimension $D \geq 4$. This is achieved after the explicit construction of a dictionary that allows the uplift of expressions evaluated on a single-function static and spherically symmetric ansatz into fully covariant ones. On the one hand, applying such prescription for $D \geq 5$, we find the explicit covariant form of the unique inequivalent Quasitopological Gravity that exists at each $n$ and, for the first time, the covariant expressions of the $n-2$ inequivalent proper GQTGs existing at every curvature order $n$. On the other hand, for $D=4$, we are able to provide the first rigorous proof of the fact that there is one and only one (proper) inequivalent GQTG at each curvature order $n$, deriving along the way a simple expression for such four-dimensional representative at every order $n$.

description: The correlation between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and environment provides important clues to AGN fueling and the relationship of black hole growth to galaxy evolution. In this paper, we analyze the fraction of galaxies in clusters hosting AGN as a function of redshift and cluster richness for X-ray detected AGN associated with clusters of galaxies in Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification data. The present sample includes 33 AGN with L_X > 10^43 ergs s^-1 in non-central, host galaxies with luminosity greater than 0.5 L* from a total sample of 432 clusters in the redshift range of 0.10.7. This result is in good agreement with previous work and parallels the increase in star formation in cluster galaxies over the same redshift range. However, the AGN fraction in clusters is observed to have no significant correlation with cluster mass. Future analyses with DES Year 1 through Year 3 data will be able to clarify whether AGN activity is correlated to cluster mass and will tightly constrain the relationship between cluster AGN populations and redshift.

description: Thermal conductivity measurements can provide key and experimentally verifiable insight into the electronic transport of unconventional superconductors. In this work, electronic thermal transport of two-dimensional tight-binding metallic systems with coexisting $d$-wave superconducting (SC) and antiferromagnetic spin density wave (SDW) orders with nesting vector $\mathbf{Q} = (π/2,π/2)$ or $(π,0)$ are considered. The coexisting SC and SDW orders are modelled at the mean-field level. Thermal conductivities are numerically calculated within Boltzmann kinetic theory in the weak impurity scattering (Born) limit. These SDW nesting vectors are chosen for their unique property of reconstructing the Fermi surface (FS) parallel to $\mathbf{Q}$ and preserving the metallic FS perpendicular to $\mathbf{Q}$. This leads to anisotropic electronic thermal conductivities parallel and perpendicular to $\mathbf{Q}$, which also depend on the presence or absence of additional gapless excitations exclusive to the coexistence phase. It was found that the $\mathbf{Q} = (π/2,π/2)$ and $(π,0)$ SDW systems exhibit equivalent electron transport relative to $\mathbf{Q}$. These systems also had equivalent electron transport when coexisting with a $d$-wave SC gap when $Δ_{\mathbf{k}}$ had the same symmetry class under translations of $\mathbf{Q}$.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of after sales service quality on customer satisfaction in the Ethiopian automotive industry. SERVPERF model by Cronin and Taylor's (1992) was used to examine the effect of after sales service quality on customer satisfaction. A sample size of 166 was taken conveniently from MOENCO, Nyala Motors and Yang fan motors service outlets at Addis Ababa. Quantitative method of data collection was employed to collect the data through questionnaire. Descriptive as well as inferential analysis has been done. The result of this study shows that all the dimensions of SERVPERF have a positive correlation with the dependent variable. Out of five dimensions four of the dimensions (Tangibility, reliability, empathy and assurance) have a positive and significant impact on customer satisfaction, and one of the dimension responsiveness was found to have insignificant effect on customer satisfaction. Based on the findings empathy is found to be the dominant SERVPERF dimension with the highest beta value and assurance is the least with its effect on customer satisfaction. Furthermore, 60.8% of the variations in customer satisfaction are explained by service performance dimensions in the Ethiopian Automotive industry Based on the findings of the study, the researcher forwarded some recommendations to the management of after sales service department.

description: We revisit the transport properties induced by the chiral anomaly in a charged plasma holographically dual to anomalous $U(1)_V\times U(1)_A$ Maxwell theory in Schwarzschild-$AdS_5$. Off-shell constitutive relations for vector and axial currents are derived using various approximations generalising most of known in the literature anomaly-induced phenomena and revealing some new ones. In a weak external field approximation, the constitutive relations have all-order derivatives resummed into six momenta-dependent transport coefficient functions: the diffusion, the electric/magnetic conductivity, and three anomaly induced functions. The latter generalise the chiral magnetic and chiral separation effects. Nonlinear transport is studied assuming presence of constant background external fields. The chiral magnetic effect, including all order nonlinearity in magnetic field, is proven to be exact when the magnetic field is the only external field that is turned on. Non-linear corrections to the constitutive relations due to electric and axial external fields are computed.

Assessment of youth saving habit in Addis Ababa: the case of yeka sub city
Creators: name: Melaku, Gizachew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Most youths have low rate of saving behavior, so that improving saving behavior is a primary goal for people living in this part of the world. Improving saving behavior of individuals is given attention to look at a variety of savings services used by people/customer in the community. Improving this depends not only on attending of government provider but also on appropriate execution of recommending components of saving in household of the community and institutions or sectors. The objective of the study is to assess the saving habits of the youths (those in the age range of 18 to 30) and associated factors that determine the saving behavior of these youths in the general population of Yeka sub city. Both qualitative technique using an interview and quantitative techniques using a questionnaire were used for 130 respondents and 10 interviewees. The data from questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS and presented accordingly. The data from interview were incorporated under every topic of interest. The study found that there is a low saving behavior of the youths in Yeka Sub-City and they have a poor awareness of the financial services and packages. The factors determining the low saving behavior of the youths were the low financial literacy of the youths, the less parental socialization regarding saving the money, peer influence and less self-control practices of the respondents. The researcher recommended that it would be better if they get financial literacy form financial institutions and multimedia to alleviate their saving behavior. It would be much better if they control themselves towards managing the money they have and avoid bad temper. Good interaction between youths and their parents was recommended.

description: We have analyzed dynamical measurements from materials near their liquid-glass transition. The primary response is accurately characterized by a model for dispersive excitations on specific distributions of independently relaxing domains. Liquids have an equilibrium (Gaussian) distribution of domain sizes, which changes abruptly to a locally random (Poisson-like) distribution in the glass. When quenched to a temperature initially in the glass phase, after a definite anneal time, the Poisson-like distribution changes abruptly back to the Gaussian distribution characteristic of a liquid.

description: Multifidelity uncertainty quantification (MF UQ) sampling approaches have been shown to significantly reduce the variance of statistical estimators while preserving the bias of the highest-fidelity model, provided that the low-fidelity models are well correlated. However, maintaining a high level of correlation can be challenging, especially when models depend on different input uncertain parameters, which drastically reduces the correlation. Existing MF UQ approaches do not adequately address this issue. In this work, we propose a new sampling strategy that exploits a shared space to improve the correlation among models with dissimilar parametrization. We achieve this by transforming the original coordinates onto an auxiliary manifold using the adaptive basis (AB) method~\cite{Tipireddy2014}. The AB method has two main benefits: (1) it provides an effective tool to identify the low-dimensional manifold on which each model can be represented, and (2) it enables easy transformation of polynomial chaos representations from high- to low-dimensional spaces. This latter feature is used to identify a shared manifold among models without requiring additional evaluations. We present two algorithmic flavors of the new estimator to cover different analysis scenarios, including those with legacy and non-legacy high-fidelity data. We provide numerical results for analytical examples, a direct field acoustic test, and a finite element model of a nuclear fuel assembly. For all examples, we compare the proposed strategy against both single-fidelity and MF estimators based on the original model parametrization.

description: Industry park development is the key elements for the development of the industrialization, growth and economic development of the countries. The country industry policy should be strong enough to support the development of the industrialization would be effective if and only in the industry park and zone will engage in the capacity building activity for local firms. This study aims at exploring the level of linkage between the industry park development and industrialization and reviews the policies and laws in this specific topic. The quantitative and qualitative models have been significantly utilized in analyzing the contributing factors of the industry park development in the context of the industrialization policy. The main focus of this study is to evaluate the role of the industry park development in the countries industrialization policy. Majority of the government higher officials and the senior expertise are engaged in the e policy development process in general and the same is true for who are involves in industrialization development sector. So in order to identify and answer for the questions raised associated with the hindrance for the development of the country's industrialization specially issues in relation to policy and strategies and other related rules and regulations in one hand and on the other hand how the concerned government officials and the senior expertise are understand the policy frame work and guided through it and other crosscutting issues are addressed. The designed policies and laws regarding industrialization development need to review to encourage the firms. To address the problem, the researcher proposes policy implications by putting the contributing factors for effective development of industrial park development policy.
Boosting entanglement growth of many-body localization by superpositions of disorder

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many-body localization (MBL) can occur when strong disorders prevent an interacting system from thermalization. To study the dynamics of such systems, it is typically necessary to perform an ensemble average over many different disorder configurations. Previous works have utilized an algorithm in which different disorder profiles are mapped into a quantum ancilla. By preparing the ancilla in a quantum superposition state, quantum parallelism can be harnessed to obtain the ensemble average in a single computation run. In this work, we modify this algorithm by performing a measurement on the ancilla. This enables the determination of conditional dynamics not only by the ensemble average but also by the quantum interference effect. Using a phenomenological analysis based on local integrals of motion, we demonstrate that this protocol can lead to an enhancement of the dephasing effect and a boost in the entanglement growth for systems in the deep MBL phase. We also present numerical simulations of the random XXZ model where this enhancement is also present in a smaller disorder strength, beyond the deep MBL regime.

Inventories Discretionary Management through Real Activities

Publisher: name: International Journal of Business Innovation
Year: 2022

description: This study focuses on the discretionary management of inventories based on real activity and the repercussions on the financial statements. We show the evidence of the discretionary management of real activity on inventories in 30,797 Portuguese Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) from the commercial sector and its influence on financial information, using the adaptation of the quantitative methodology used by Roychowdhury (2006). Managers have the power to choose real activities to achieve their objectives. These discretion cause changes in the value of financial reporting of companies, which can be stimulating for managers who want to present financial statements that meet the requirements of stakeholders and their own interests. The results obtained allowed for the verification that the discretion included in inventory management is related to commercial management and confirmed that managers seek to act in a way that maximizes their welfare by using discretion. The discretion causes deliberate changes in the economic and financial conditions of companies and, consequently, in the financial statements that are the element of support for decision making, for this reason it is deliberately caused asymmetry of information between the owner and other stakeholders in the information as is assumed in the agency theory and positive accounting theory.

Glottonyms, anachronism and ambiguity in scholarly depictions of Juraj Križanić/Юрий Крижанич
Creators: name: Maxwell, Alexander
Publisher: name: Open Access Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This article is a case study in the politics of glottonyms. Most glottonyms are also ethnonyms; that is, the name of a linguistic variety is usually the name of an ethnographic collective, typically or stereotypically a 'nation'. The Russian language, for example, shares its name with the Russians; the Croatian language with the Croats, and so on. Of course, 'nations' and 'languages' do not always coincide, despite the naive tendency to equate them by default. Both ethnonyms and glottonyms contain great complexity and any search for discrepancies is rapidly successful. Nevertheless, the very act of referring to a linguistic variety with an ethnonym encourages their conflation.
Treatment of Waste Water Effluent from Coffee Industry using Anaerobic Mixed Culture Pseudomonas Florescence and Escherichia Coli Bacteria and with Gypsum: A Case in Dilla- Ethiopia
Creators: name: Fitsum, Ashenafi
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Coffee processing industries generate huge amount of wastewater. The effluent is characterized by a lot of sludge, high amount of organic load and acidic nature due to fermentation process. Due to this, it contains high value of COD, BOD, TS and other contaminants. This effluent when disposed in natural water, it contaminates aquatic animals and plants environment. So, care has to be taken to ensure the quality of the releasing waters should be reduced below the prescribed standards. There are many physical and chemical treatment methods available for the removal of pollutants but all these methods have problems associated with secondary effluent, hazardous and harmful end products, high energy consuming, non-economic etc. These problems can be overcome by the use of biological treatment methods which are simple, eco-friendly and efficient where complete removal of the pollutants is possible. Cognizant of this, the researcher was initiated to study the treatment of wastewater effluent from coffee industry in the specific area by using anaerobic Pseudomonas florescence and Escherichia coli bacteria as mixed culture and with gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O). In this study, the wastewater value of BOD5, COD, TS and neutralization of the PH reduction was achieved. The results show that the treatment reduced BOD5, COD and TS from its initial concentration of 320.26 mg/l, 1261 mg/l, and 3545 mg/l to 35.66 mg/l, 97 mg/l and 68 mg/l respectively. The treatment in the study shows 87.74% reduced of BOD5 load, 92.02% reduced of COD and 98.01% reduced of TS from the initial load using optimization of the treatment method. Therefore, it can be concluded that mixed culture bacteria of Pseudomonas florescence and Escherichia coli in combination with gypsum as a new effective treatment having potential for BOD5, COD and TS reduce from the effluent treated. The mixed culture of microorganisms is capable to reduce the contaminants that made the approach cost effective, time saving compared with other results found by other authors without mixed culture. The microorganisms included in the study can be applied for the treatment of effluents containing the multiple contaminants.
Does horizon entropy satisfy a Quantum Null Energy Conjecture?

description: A modern version of the idea that the area of event horizons gives $4G$ times an entropy is the Hubeny-Rangamani Causal Holographic Information (CHI) proposal for holographic field theories. Given a region $R$ of a holographic QFTs, CHI computes $A/4G$ on a certain cut of an event horizon in the gravitational dual. The result is naturally interpreted as a coarse-grained entropy for the QFT. CHI is known to be finitely greater than the fine-grained Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi (HRT) entropy when $\partial R$ lies on a Killing horizon of the QFT spacetime, and in this context satisfies other non-trivial properties expected of an entropy. Here we present evidence that it also satisfies the quantum null energy condition (QNEC), which bounds the second derivative of the entropy of a quantum field theory on one side of a non-expanding null surface by the flux of stress-energy across the surface. In particular, we show CHI to satisfy the QNEC in 1+1 holographic CFTs when evaluated in states dual to conical defects in AdS$_3$. This surprising result further supports the idea that CHI defines a useful notion of coarse-grained holographic entropy, and suggests unprecedented bounds on the rate at which bulk horizon generators emerge from a caustic. To supplement our motivation, we include an appendix deriving a corresponding coarse-grained generalized second law for 1+1 holographic CFTs perturbatively coupled to dilaton gravity.

The Main Gaps and Nonconformities Identified in the Accountability in SNC-AP

Publisher: name: International Journal of Business Innovation
Year: 2022

description: This research study is part of the issue of public accounting with the national standards, in terms of the quality of financial information and perspective of external control of Portuguese Polytechnics (PP). Specifically, this study has two main objectives: (1) study the application of the new public accounting model based on IPSAS (SNC-AP) by PP, and (2) understand the main gaps and nonconformities identified by the external audit. The analysis focuses on the period from 2018 to 2020. The theoretical approach focuses on coercive and normative isomorphism inspired by institutionalist arguments, namely the New Institutional Sociology (NIS). The methodology followed a qualitative approach of an exploratory nature through the analysis of the content of the financial statements (FS) and the legal certification of accounts (LCA) of the PPs disclosed in the period of implementation of the SNC-AP (2018-2020). The main results show that entities have paid more attention to formal compliance with the presentation of the financial statements, neglecting some more specific aspects such as the disclosures and descriptions in the Annex and the recognition of income with and without consideration. Through the LCA, it was noticed that the auditors issued different emphases and reservations in the period under analysis in order to point out the aspects where there is no compliance with the regulations. The theoretical line of coercive isomorphism, inspired by the NIS, can help to explain these results insofar as law imposed the SNC-AP as well as the external audit based on the ISAs and are mandatory, which leads the entities to demonstrate compliance. The study helps to clarify the process of transition to the new accounting regulations by the PPs, and can be generalized to other contexts and sectors of public administration. In practical terms, the results help to clarify areas where there is a need for more training and clarification on the part of professionals in order to increase compliance with the new regulations.

description: Specific types of spatial defects or potentials can turn monolayer graphene into a topological material. These topological defects are classified by a spatial dimension $D$ and they are systematically obtained from the Hamiltonian by means of its symbol $\mathcal{H} (\boldsymbol{k}, \boldsymbol{r}) $, an operator which generalises the Bloch Hamiltonian and contains all topological information. This approach, when applied to Dirac operators, allows to recover the tenfold classification of insulators and superconductors. The existence of a stable $\mathbb{Z}$-topology is predicted as a condition on the dimension $D$, similar to the classification of defects in thermodynamic phase transitions. Kekule distortions, vacancies and adatoms in graphene are proposed as examples of such defects and their topological equivalence is discussed.

Dynamics of three-dimensional spatiotemporal solitons in multimode waveguides

description: In this work, we present a detailed study of the dynamics and stability of fundamental spatiotemporal solitons emerging in multimode waveguides with a parabolic transverse profile of the linear refractive index. Pulsed beam propagation in these structures can be described by using a Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a two-dimensional parabolic spatial potential. Our investigations are based on comparing variational approaches, based on the Ritz optimization method, with extensive numerical simulations. We found that, with a Kerr self-focusing nonlinearity, spatiotemporal solitons are stable for low pulse energies, where our analytical results find a perfect agreement with the numerical simulations. However, solitons with progressively increasing energies eventually undergo wave collapse, which is not predicted within the variational framework. In a self-defocusing scenario, again for low energies there is good agreement between the variational predictions and simulations. Whereas, for large soliton energies complex spatiotemporal dynamics emerge.

description: We analyze the inflationary scenario based on the tachyon field coupled with the radion of the second Randall-Sundrum model (RSII). The tachyon Lagrangian is derived from the dynamics of a 3-brane moving in the five dimensional bulk. The AdS$_5$ geometry of the bulk is extended to include the radion. Using the Hamiltonian formalism we find four nonlinear field equations supplemented by the modified Friedmann equations of the RSII braneworld cosmology. After a suitable rescaling we reduce the parameters of our model to only one free parameter related to the brane tension and the AdS$_5$ curvature. We solve the equations numerically assuming a reasonably wide range of initial conditions determined by physical considerations. Varying the free parameter and initial conditions we confront our results with the Planck 2015 data.

Benford's Law in the Analysis of Inventories of Portuguese Companies
Creators: name: Luty, Piotr

Publisher: name: International Journal of Business Innovation
Year: 2022

description: The article aims to check whether the financial data disclosed by companies comply with natural laws in terms of the resources used. We recognise the compliance of the distributions with the Benford distribution as the compliance of financial data with natural law. The fit of empirical distributions of the analysed variables in Portuguese companies will be presented in charts and measured using Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD). In the article, we analyse the inventory values of Portuguese companies in the years 2016 - 2020. The study results indicate that for one sector (Real Estate), there is no consistency with the Benford distribution. The study's preliminary results suggest that inventory values follow the natural distribution of digits, which was described by a mathematical formula by Benford. The non-conformity in the Real Estate sector requires a deeper analysis of the results, which will be continued further research.

description: The unprecedented pace of urbanisation in Addis Ababa has created a sense of urgency to address the agglomeration effect of urban facilities, particularly in social and physical infrastructure of the city. This thesis examines the socio economic trends in Addis Ababa, and considers alternative responses through the lens of satellite city development in surrounding towns of Addis Ababa. It illustrate the positive prospect of satellite city to increasing the socio- economic and physical infrastructure of urban land use, transport and buildings; access to improving water, waste management and other facilities. Therefore, in order to address those issues, the researcher used primary data collected through structured questionnaire, Key informant interview and referred to secondary source of data. As result, the collected data and information were compiled, analyzed and finally, puts in the form of manageable to presentation. Hence, the outcomes of this thesis provides specific attention to urban area to introduce the satellite city concept for major towns in the surrounding towns of Addis Ababa and the study highlight the general profile of surrounding towns and also incorporate the brief study of Gelan, Dukem, Suluta, Burayu, Holeta, Sebeta on the loop around Addis one which serves a significant regional function for northern, southern, eastern and western part of Addis Ababa. These towns have important land holdings and resources in the areas and can achieve the required outcome with an appropriately developed Master Plan . These towns has planned future role of the town related functions could be allowed to develop urban infrastructure facilities such as transport, housing, health facilities, water, sewerage, drainage and solid waste management to channelize their future growth and to enhance the sustainability of urban infrastructure. Accordingly, if these town well-articulated as satellite city form at which all facilities will be contained; ranging from economic activity (industry and commerce) and social services (education, health, house and leisure) It provides citizens more residential area, and thereby, improves the living quality of the people and also reflect the image, culture and wellbeing of the communities they serve, at the same time they play a dual role by serving both as satellite towns of Addis Ababa and capitals of the rural countries and thereby reduce the burdens of Addis Ababa in many ways.
