description: In this study, we determine a violation of the Leggett-Garg inequalities due to gravitational interaction in a hybrid system consisting of a harmonic oscillator and a spatially localized superposed particle. The violation of the Leggett-Garg inequalities is discussed using the two-time quasiprobability in connection with the entanglement negativity generated by gravitational interaction. It is demonstrated that the entanglement suppresses the violation of the Leggett-Garg inequalities when one of the two times of the quasiprobability t_1 is chosen as the initial time. Further, it is shown that the Leggett-Garg inequalities are generally violated due to gravitational interaction by properly choosing the configuration of the parameters, including t_1 and t_2, which are the times of the two-time quasiprobability. The feasibility of detecting violations of the Leggett-Garg inequalities in hybrid systems is also discussed.

 Basionym: Anaptychia arsenei Kurok., Beih. Nova Hedwigia 6: 89 (1962). Type:— Mexico. Puebla: Esperanza, 2400 m, 1907, Arsène 8089 (holotype US, n.v.). Heterodermia arsenei (Kurok.) Trass, Folia Cryptog. Estonia 29: 7 (1992).
Chemistry: Cortex K+ yellow, C–, KC–, P+ yellow; medulla K+ yellow then red, C–, P+ yellow-orange; containing atranorin (major), zeorin (major), salazinic acid (major), consalazinic acid (major), 16β-acetoxyhopane-6α,22-diol (minor).
 Remarks: — Although we have not seen the type material, we have investigated several collections from Chiapas, SE of Puebla which matched the description given by Kurokawa (1962). The species was placed in ser. Podocarpae by Kurokawa (1962), but it seems more closely related to Leucodermia appalachensis. It differs from L. appalachensis in having broader lobes and by containing salazinic acid.
 Specimen examined:— MEXICO. Chiapas: ca. 25 km NW of Comitan de Dominguez, in a dark and dry forest, dominated by Quercus spec. and Pinus spec., 2150 m, 16°27’ N, 92°19’ W, 25 January 1979, K. Kalb & G. Plöbst (herb. Kalb 39870, 39872).

On differentiability of solutions of fractional differential equations with respect to initial data

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: In this paper, we deal with a Cauchy problem for a nonlinear fractional differential equation with the Caputo derivative of order $α\in (0, 1)$. As initial data, we consider a pair consisting of an initial point, which does not necessarily coincide with the inferior limit of the fractional derivative, and a function that determines the values of a solution on the interval from this inferior limit to the initial point. We study differentiability properties of the functional associating initial data with the endpoint of the corresponding solution of the Cauchy problem. Stimulated by recent results on the dynamic programming principle and Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equations for fractional optimal control problems, we examine so-called fractional coinvariant derivatives of order $α$ of this functional. We prove that these derivatives exist and give formulas for their calculation.

description: We explore the phase diagram of Ising spins on one-dimensional chains which criss-cross in two perpendicular directions and which are connected by interchain couplings. This system is of interest as a simpler, classical analog of a quantum Hamiltonian which has been proposed as a model of magnetic behavior in Nb$_{12}$O$_{29}$ and also, conceptually, as a geometry which is intermediate between one and two dimensions. Using mean field theory as well as Metropolis Monte Carlo and Wang-Landau simulations, we locate quantitatively the boundaries of four ordered phases. Each becomes an effective Ising model with unique effective couplings at large interchain coupling. Away from this limit we demonstrate non-trivial critical behavior, including tricritical points which separate first and second order phase transitions. Finally, we present evidence that this model belongs to the 2D Ising universality class.

description: Occupational safety & health practices are meant to protect health and safety of employees in the work place and thereby promoting safer work environment and enhancing improved productivity. The objective of this study was to examine the effects occupational health and safety management traits, namely, employee involvement, training and awareness on OHS, leadership commitment towards different dimensions of organizational commitment in Sheraton Addis. Accordingly, explanatory research design was adapted to carry out this study. Survey questionnaire were distributed to respondents in various hotel departments, usingProportionate Stratified Random Sampling method, which are prone to occupational accidents.The study considered a total population size of 327hazard prone employees under Engineering, Kitchen, Stewarding, Laundry, Housekeeping and Pool & Health Club, of which 179 (69% male 31% female) participants were selected as a sample size. The obtained data through survey was analyzed using SPSS version 20.Correlations and regression analysis were applied to determine the effect and impact between variables. The results of this study revealed positive and significant relationship between the three traits measuring occupational health and safety management practices employee involvement, training and awareness on OSH and leadership commitment. Moreover, training and awareness was the most contributing OSH attribute in the prediction of organizational commitment. Another finding of this study was that, stress, working shift and non-compliance of employees with basic applications of personal protective equipment are top ranking causes of accidents in Sheraton Addis hotel in their respective order. On the other hand, employeeparticipation during the formulation and implementation of OSH policieswas found to be rated very low which deserves attention of the management. Targeting the organizational commitment of its employees, the Sheraton Addis Management, need to have undivided attention towards tackling the challenges in implementing OSHMS and maintain healthy and safe work environment

description: El paso de los años ha traído consigo un aumento en las técnicas de hurto, que han requerido, a su vez, mejores formas de protección. En la antigüedad se utilizaban cerrojos, ya en la antigua Asiría se empleaban cerrojos de tipo cilíndrico fabricado en madera. Sin embargo, los brotes de delincuencia en sus diversas modalidades y su mayor complejidad han hecho necesario la aparición de sistemas mas sofisticados para detener la violación, el hurto y la perdida de la propiedad privada y/o de la vida. Es así como empiezan aparecer sistemas electrónicos de seguridad, para edificios, contra incendios, antirrobos, de bloqueo, de búsqueda o rastreo, entre otros. Desde tiempos ancestrales el hombre se ha preocupado tanto por su seguridad personal como de sus bienes privados, siendo esta, parte de las diferentes necesidades a satisfacer por él. El psicólogo estadounidense Abraham Maslow¹ diseño una jerarquía motivacional agrupando las necesidades en cinco niveles, ocupando la antes mencionada el segundo nivel de importancia. Hoy, la preocupación por la seguridad personal no tiene menos importancia que antes, reflejándose esta en diferentes etapas de la vida y en muchas actividades cotidianas de las personas. Es por eso que en nuestros días, los sistemas de seguridad han inundado, las fabricas, los edificios, nuestras casas o apartamentos, nuestros medios de transporte e incluso para algunos su cuerpo. A parte de lo anterior, la tecnología disponible ha contribuido al incremento de una mejor protección para los bienes privados de las personas y es la electrónica uno de los campos de la ciencia que mas auge le ha provisto a los sistemas de seguridad convencionales. Es así como los dispositivos de seguridad electrónicos son los más empleados en brindar sus servicios a nuestras necesidades de protección. El estudio en cuestión se realiza con la finalidad de brindarle al inversionista la oportunidad de incursionar en el mercado de alarmas o dispositivos electrónicos antirrobo para motos, el cual, actualmente ofrece unas grandes ventajas por el consiguiente aumento tanto de la delincuencia organizada como en el crecimiento de la población de motos en la ciudad de Cartagena.

description: Schistosomiasis is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world, causing high levels of morbidity in the approximately 200 million people that are infected. Chemical therapeutic treatment of infection is currently the only effective mechanism to combat the disease; however this treatment regime has limitations, most significantly that treatment does not prevent re-infection. This thesis developed a new method to identify parasite molecules that could be developed as vaccine and better diagnostic reagents to help combat this insidious disease.

description: We consider a bipartite quantum system $S$ (including parties $A$ and $B$), interacting with an environment $E$ through a localized quantum dynamics $\mathcal{F}_{SE}$ . We call a quantum dynamics $\mathcal{F}_{SE}$ localized if, e.g., the party $A$ is isolated from the environment and only $B$ interacts with the environment: $\mathcal{F}_{SE}=id_{A}\otimes \mathcal{F}_{BE}$, where $id_{A}$ is the identity map on the part $A$ and $\mathcal{F}_{BE}$ is a completely positive (CP) map on the both $B$ and $E$. We will show that the reduced dynamics of the system is also localized as $\mathcal{E}_{S}=id_{A}\otimes \bar{\mathcal{E}}_{B}$, where $\bar{\mathcal{E}}_{B}$ is a CP map on $B$, if and only if the initial state of the system-environment is a Markov state. We then generalize this result to the two following cases: when both $A$ and $B$ interact with a same environment, and when each party interacts with its local environment.

title: How does valuing happiness predict well-being?
Creators: name: Zhang, Hanxin

description: Although happiness is desired as an important goal worldwide, recent research has shown that putting a high value on happiness does not always lead to higher well-being and it sometimes impairs well-being. This paradox effect is influenced by culture, and it is highlighted that having a socially engaged definition of happiness can protect well-being from the negative impact of valuing happiness. The studies in this thesis aim to further understand how valuing happiness impacts well-being in different cultural backgrounds and different contexts. In chapter 2, we confirmed the protective role of having a socially engaged way of defining happiness in both eastern and western samples. We also proposed that the pursuit of happiness requires both a socially engaged and feasible approach to be successful. In chapter 3, we found negative stimuli cause the stronger distraction to people compared to neutral stimuli. However, we did not find evidence supporting the hypothesis that valuing happiness would lead to an impaired ability to control emotional attention in an experimental setting. In chapter 4, it was shown that people who react positively to activities with high levels of social engagement and feasibility tend to have higher well-being and personality traits. Furthermore, personality traits, how urgent people want to feel happy and their definition of happiness impacts preferences for positive events in day-to-day life. Altogether, pursuing happiness in ways that are social and feasible could lead to higher well-being.

description: The photon ring, shadow and observational appearance of the emission originating near a charged black-bounce are investigated. Based on the geodesic analysis, we determine the upper and lower limits of critical impact parameters of a charged black-bounce. In particular, we find that the charged black-bounce shares the same critical impact parameter with the Reissner-Nordstöm black hole. In addition, we classify the light trajectories coming from the region near the charged black-bounce by utilizing the rays tracing procedure, and then investigate the observational appearance of the emissions from a thin disk accretion and a spherically symmetric infalling accretion. We reveal that a large charge increases the observed intensity but decreases the apparent size of shadows, and that the photon ring presents the intrinsic property of a spacetime geometry, which is independent of the types of the two accretions. Our results are in good agreement with the recent observations.

description: We consider the problem of Combinatorial Pure Exploration (CPE), which deals with finding a combinatorial set or arms with a high reward, when the rewards of individual arms are unknown in advance and must be estimated using arm pulls. Previous algorithms for this problem, while obtaining sample complexity reductions in many cases, are highly computationally intensive, thus making them impractical even for mildly large problems. In this work, we propose a new CPE algorithm in the PAC setting, which is computationally light weight, and so can easily be applied to problems with tens of thousands of arms. This is achieved since the proposed algorithm requires a very small number of combinatorial oracle calls. The algorithm is based on successive acceptance of arms, along with elimination which is based on the combinatorial structure of the problem. We provide sample complexity guarantees for our algorithm, and demonstrate in experiments its usefulness on large problems, whereas previous algorithms are impractical to run on problems of even a few dozen arms. The code for the algorithms and experiments is provided at https://github.com/noabdavid/csale.

Year: 2019

description: Performance management is the system of maintaining or improving the job performance of employees through the use of performance planning processes, along with coaching, mentoring and providing continuous feedback. The aim of this study was to assess the performance management practices of MUDH. Descriptive research design was applied using both qualitative and quantitative approach. The study used stratified sampling techniques and collected primary data from 163 staff through questionnaire. SPSS 20 versions was used to process the primary data. The study has found out that the MUDH appraisal system lacks acceptability and sensitivity which is due to the subjective appraisal criteria and these criteria are not in line with the job description of employees. MUDH in general has areas of improvement in; considering factors hindering performance during appraisal, using performance results for promotion and advancement, and equipping supervisor to provide individualized recognition. Finally, MUDH management should be a model by seeking feedback and coaching from others and find opportunities to create space for openness, transparency and clear communication to flow smoothly in all direction to get the desired result of performance management
Functional characterization of the tumour suppressor gene Hypermethylated in cancer-1 (HIC1)

Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Epigenetic gene silencing, associated with promoter CpG island hypermethylation, is now recognized as one of the main mechanisms by which cancers inactivate tumour suppressor genes. HYPERMETHYLATED IN CANCER-1 (HIC1) is a tumour suppressor commonly silenced by epigenetic mechanisms in cancer. Although HIC1 is a sequence-specific transcriptional repressor, its role as a tumour suppressor is poorly understood. The most well characterized transcriptional target of HIC1 is SIRT1, a class III histone deactylase known to promote mammalian cell survival under oxidative stress and DNA damage. Importantly, SIRT1 actively deactylates, and thus inactivates, P53. I therefore hypothesized that loss of Hic1 function could substitute for p53 mutations in a cancer initiation model. To address this question, I utilized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) as a model for neoplastic transformation. In addition, I aimed to determine whether the loss of Hic1 could substitute for p53 loss in the background of Kras constitutive activation (KrasG12D). Surprisingly, my research found that Hic1 loss did not result in the deregulation of the Hic1-Sirt1-p53 loop in MEFs, either alone or in a KrasG12D background. In addition, no known Hic1 target genes were deregulated in this model, and its loss did not result in major gene expression changes. Despite this, the loss of Hic1 in MEFs resulted in the immortalization and full transformation into cancer cells. In addition, tumours arising from Hic1 KO MEFs resembled pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a highly aggressive soft-tissue sarcoma. My research found that the loss of Hic1 caused these cells to have a delayed ability to repair DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), along with massive widespread genomic and chromosomal instability, and a decrease in nucleosome remodelling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex activity. The findings from this thesis demonstrate that Hic1 has a previously unidentified non-transcriptional role in maintaining stability of the genome, and suggests that HIC1 loss by epigenetic silencing is a potentially important event in cancer initiation.

Signatures of the Martian rotation parameters in the Doppler and range observables

description: The position of a Martian lander is affected by different aspects of Mars' rotational motions: the nutations, the precession, the length-of-day variations and the polar motion. These various motions have a different signature in a Doppler observable between the Earth and a lander on Mars' surface. Knowing the correlations between these signatures and the moments when these signatures are not null during one day or on a longer timescale is important to identify strategies that maximize the geophysical return of observations with a geodesy experiment, in particular for the ones on-board the future NASA InSight or ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars2020 missions. We provide first-order formulations of the signature of the rotation parameters in the Doppler and range observables. These expressions are functions of the diurnal rotation of Mars, the lander position, the planet radius and the rotation parameter. Additionally, the nutation signature in the Doppler observable is proportional to the Earth declination with respect to Mars. For a lander on Mars close to the equator, the motions with the largest signature in the Doppler observable are due to the length-of-day variations, the precession rate and the rigid nutations. The polar motion and the liquid core signatures have a much smaller amplitude. For a lander closer to the pole, the polar motion signature is enhanced while the other signatures decrease. We also numerically evaluate the amplitudes of the rotation parameters signature in the Doppler observable for landers on other planets or moons.

description: Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is a novel and emerging, decentralized digital identity approach that enables entities to control and manage their digital identifiers and associated identity data fully while enhancing trust, privacy, security, and the many other properties identified and analyzed in this paper. The paper provides an overview and classification of the SSI properties, focusing on an in-depth analysis, furthermore, presenting a comprehensive collection of SSI properties that are important for the implementation of the SSI system. In addition, it explores the general SSI process flow, and highlights the steps in which individual properties are important. After the initial purification and classification phase, we then validated properties among experts in the field of Decentralized and Self-Sovereign Identity Management using an online questionnaire, which resulted in a final set of classified and verified SSI properties. The results can be used for further work on definition and standardization of the SSI field.

description: The major challenge by most of the organization today is not only managing their workforce but also retaining them. It is therefore imperative for organizations to institute appropriate measures to retain adroit employees. Effectual HRM practices can help organizations to retain their valued employees. Work-life balance is one of the factors as it has become an increasingly important for retaining employees. It is a widely accepted fact that Africa, where Ethiopia is a part, retention of skilled employees has been of serious concern to managers in the face of ever increasing high rate of employee turnover. The health sector in Ethiopia particularly suffers the risk of employee turnover. This study examined the effects of work life balance on employees' retention in selected public health institutions under AAHB, Ethiopia. The study followed a concurrent mixed approach by combining both descriptive and explanatory design. It was carried out in 2 out of the 6 public hospitals under AAHB. A referral (Menilik II) and one general (Yekatit 12) hospitals were included in the sample. Purposive sampling was used to select a sample size of 145 health professionals' employees from both hospitals. In this study structured questionnaire both close and open-ended were used to collected data from the respondents. Descriptive statistical and qualitative techniques were used to analyze the data. The method analysis used to analyze the data includes correlation and regression analysis. The findings of this study highlight the fact that work life balance is significantly related with employee retention and indeed affects employee retention in public health institution. The results of this study may contribute to health sector especially for hospitals in Addis Ababa by preparing them for successful employee retention strategies while simultaneously positioning health professionals to attain optimum balance between work and life responsibilities.

Characterizing the Lyman-$α$ flux probability distribution function using Legendre polynomials

description: The Lyman-$α$ forest is a highly non-linear field with a lot of information available in the data beyond the power spectrum. The flux probability distribution function (PDF) has been used as a successful probe of small-scale physics. In this paper we argue that measuring coefficients of the Legendre polyonomial expansion of the PDF offers several advantages over measuring the binned values as is commonly done. In particular, $n$-th coefficient can be expressed as a linear combination of the first $n$ moments, allowing these coefficients to be measured in the presence of noise and allowing a clear route for marginalisation over mean flux. Moreover, in the presence of noise, our numerical work shows that a finite number of coefficients are well measured with a very sharp transition into noise dominance. This compresses the available information into a small number of well-measured quantities. We find that the amount of recoverable information is a very non-linear function of spectral noise that strongly favors fewer quasars measured at better signal to noise.

Self-interacting Dark Scalar Spikes around Black Holes via Relativistic Bondi Accretion

description: We consider the spike mass density profile in a dark halo by self-consistently solving the relativistic Bondi accretion of dark matter onto a non-spining black hole of mass $M$. We assume that the dominant component of the dark matter in the halo is a Standard model gauge-singlet scalar. Its mass $m\simeq 10^{-5}{\rm eV}$ and quartic self-coupling $λ\lesssim10^{-19}$ are constrained to be compatible with the properties of galactic dark halos. In the hydrodynamic limit, we find that the accretion rate is bounded from below, $\dot{M}_{\rm min}=96πG^2M^2 m^4/λ\hbar^3$. Therefore, for $M=10^6~{\rm M}_\odot$ we have $\dot{M}_{\rm min}\simeq1.41\times 10^{-9}~{\rm M}_\odot~{\rm yr}^{-1}$, which is subdominant compared to the Eddington accretion of baryons. The spike density profile $ρ_0(r)$ within the self-gravitating regime cannot be fitted well by a single-power law but a double-power one. Despite that, we can fit $ρ_0(r)$ piecewise and find that $ρ_0(r) \propto r^{-1.20}$ near the sound horizon, $ρ_0(r) \propto r^{-1.00}$ towards the Bondi radius and $ρ_0(r) \propto r^{-1.08}$ for the region in between. This contrasts with more cuspy $ρ_0(r) \propto r^{-1.75}$ for dark matter with Coulomb-like self-interaction.

description: In this paper, we construct cataclysm deformations for $θ$-Anosov representations into a semisimple non-compact connected real Lie group $G$ with finite center, where $θ\subset Δ$ is a subset of the simple roots that is invariant under the opposition involution. These generalize Thurston's cataclysms on Teichmüller space and Dreyer's cataclysms for Borel-Anosov representations into $\mathrm{PSL}(n, \mathbb{R})$. We express the deformation also in terms of the boundary map. Furthermore, we show that cataclysm deformations are additive and behave well with respect to composing a representation with a group homomorphism. Finally, we show that the deformation is injective for Hitchin representations, but not in general for $θ$-Anosov representations.
