description: We analyze a modified kinetic Ising model, so called $q$-neighbor Ising model, with Metropolis dynamics, [Phys. Rev. E 92, 052105], on a duplex clique and a partially duplex clique. In the $q$-neighbor Ising model each spin interacts only with $q$ spins randomly chosen from its whole neighborhood. In the case of a duplex clique the change of a spin is allowed only if both levels simultaneously induce this change. Due to the mean-field like nature of the model we are able to derive the analytic form of transition probabilities and solve the corresponding master equation. The existence of the second level changes dramatically the character of the phase transition. In the case of the monoplex clique, the $q$-neighbor Ising model exhibits continuous phase transition for $q=3$, discontinuous phase transition for $q \ge 4$ and for $q=1$ and $q=2$ the phase transition is not observed. On the other hand, in the case of the duplex clique continuous phase transitions are observed for all values of $q$, even for $q=1$ and $q=2$. Subsequently we introduce a partially duplex clique, parametrized by $r \in [0,1]$, which allows us to tune the network from monoplex ($r=0$) to duplex ($r=1$). Such a generalized topology, in which a fraction $r$ of all nodes appear on both levels, allows to obtain the critical value of $r=r^*(q)$ at which a tricriticality (switch from continuous to discontinuous phase transition) appears.

description: The objective of this review was to scope the current evidence base related to three exposure assessment concepts: frequency, intensity, and duration (latency) for cleaning and disinfection exposures in healthcare and subsequent work-related asthma risks. A search strategy was developed addressing intersections of four main concepts: (1) work-related asthma; (2) occupation (healthcare workers/nurses); (3) cleaning and disinfection; and (4) exposure. Three databases were searched: Embase, PubMed, and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) database. Data were extracted related to three main components of risk assessment: (1) exposure frequency, (2) exposure intensity, and (3) exposure duration. Latency data were analyzed using an exponential distribution fit, and extracted concentration data were compared to occupational exposure limits. The final number of included sources from which data were extracted was 133. Latency periods for occupational asthma were exponentially distributed, with a mean waiting time (1/λ) of 4.55 years. No extracted concentration data were above OELs except for some formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde concentrations. Data from included sources also indicated some evidence for a dose-response relationship regarding increased frequency yielding increased risk, but this relationship is unclear due to potential confounders (differences in role/task and associated exposure) and the healthy worker effect. Data priority needs to include linking concentration data to health outcomes, as most current literature does not include both types of measurements in a single study, leading to uncertainty in dose-response relationships.
Effects of Agency Banking on Bank Performance in Ethiopia Commercial Banks

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The paper investigates the effects of agency banking on ban k performance in Ethiopia commercial banks. The study sought to explain the significance of security, telecom infrastructure, knowledge and bank agent distance. Descriptive research and explanatory research design is conducted in order to identify the extent at which the independent variables affect the dependent variables. The study used primary data collected from nine purposively selected commercial banks in Ethiopia. Multiple regression analysis was used in establishing the significance of the relationship. The paper finds that knowledge has statistically significant contributor for bank performance at 5% level of confidence and followed by bank agent distance is also the next highest statistically significant contributor for bank performance at 5% level of confidence whereas security and telecom infrastructure increase bank performance which is statistically insignificant at 5% level of confidence. Based on the research findings, the researcher provided recommendations. In terms of contribution the four dimension of agency banking such as (security, telecom infrastructure, knowledge, and bank agent distance). However, Ethiopian Commercial banks has to give proper attention to security since in terms of contribution it is contributing positive and insignificant which very weak. So that it will affect the degree of whole contribution to bank performance.

description: In this paper we describe physical properties arising in the vicinity of two coupled quantum phase transitions. We consider a phenomenological model based on two scalar order parameter fields locally coupled biquadratically and having a common quantum critical point as a function of a quantum tuning parameter such as pressure or magnetic field. A self-consistent treatment suggests that the uniform static susceptibilities of the two order parameter fields may have the same qualitative form at low temperature even where the forms differ sharply in the absence of the biquadratic coupling. The possible limitations of the self-consistent analysis leading to this prediction are considered.

description: We study the magnetic field and current structure associated with a coronal loop. Through this we investigate to what extent the assumptions of a force-free magnetic field break down and where they might be justified. We analyse a 3D MHD model of the solar corona in an emerging active region with the focus on the structure of the forming coronal loops. The lower boundary of this simulation is taken from a model of an emerging active region. As a consequence of the emerging magnetic flux and the horizontal motions at the surface a coronal loop forms self-consistently. We investigate the current density along magnetic field inside (and outside) this loop and study the magnetic and plasma properties in and around it. We find that the total current along the loop changes its sign from being antiparallel to parallel to the magnetic field. This is caused by the inclination of the loop together with the footpoint motion. Around the loop the currents form a complex non-force-free helical structure. This is directly related to a bipolar current structure at the loop footpoints at the base of the corona and a local reduction of the background magnetic field (i.e. outside the loop) caused by the plasma flow into and along the loop. The locally reduced magnetic pressure in the loop allows the loop to sustain a higher density, which is crucial for the emission in extreme UV. The acting of the flow on the magnetic field hosting the loop turns out to be also responsible for the observed squashing of the loop. The complex magnetic field and current system surrounding it can be modeled only in 3D MHD models where the magnetic field has to balance the plasma pressure. A 1D coronal loop model or a force-free extrapolation can not capture the current system and the complex interaction of the plasma and the magnetic field in the coronal loop, despite the fact that the loop is under low-$β$ conditions.

description: In this article we present Mutable Locks, a synchronization construct with the same execution semantic of traditional locks (such as spin locks or sleep locks), but with a self-tuned optimized trade off between responsiveness---in the access to a just released critical section---and CPU-time usage during threads' wait phases. It tackles the need for modern synchronization supports, in the era of multi-core machines, whose runtime behavior should be optimized along multiple dimensions (performance vs resource consumption) with no intervention by the application programmer. Our proposal is intended for exploitation in generic concurrent applications where scarce or none knowledge is available about the underlying software/hardware stack and the actual workload, an adverse scenario for static choices between spinning and sleeping faced by mutable locks just thanks to their hybrid waiting phases and self-tuning capabilities.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: This study is aimed to assess the effect of labor union on human resource management function taking the case of Ethiopian public organization, namely, Ethio Telecom(ET). As the study intended to describe and explain the effect of labor union on human resource management functions, a cross sectional descriptive statistics explanatory study design was used to execute the study. Managers, supervisors and ET's labor union members are the study population who were invited to participate in the study. Data was gathered using the questionnaire from 248 respondents (supervisors and employees of ET) who were selected using the stratified random sampling technique. Besides, using well-structured interview questions, qualitative data was also collected from purposefully selected human resource managers. Both descriptive statistics and regression analysis has been used to reach on the results. Accordingly, the study found out that ET's labor union performs its service, representation and regulatory functions to a fairly large extent. It was also found out that a small percentage (27.9%) of the variation on human resource practices can be explained by the labor union's involvement in carrying out its service, representation and regulatory functions. The study concluded that labor union has significant impact on the way human resource management function are performed. Finally, the study recommended the need for a strong and active labor union that will positively influence and improve the practice of human resource management

description: Additive manufacturing (AM), often referred to as 3D printing, is an emerging technology with a wide range of industrial applications and process typologies. Although the release of metal nanoparticles as by-products could occur, occupational exposure limits and cogent safety standards are not currently available due to the novelty of the technology. To support the definition of benchmarks, this study aims to provide a preliminary comparison between the nanoparticle release patterns of laser metal deposition, adopting different feedstocks, namely, metal wire and metal powder. The monitored device is a university research setup, and the work presents the results of two different processes with AISI 316 L as a feedstock in powder and wired form, respectively. The monitoring confirmed the outcomes of previous studies, with a high release of nanoparticles from the powder head on the device (average 138,713 n/cm3 during printing, with maximum values exceeding 106 n/cm3). Moreover, the results show a significant concentration of nanoparticles with a wire head during the printing phase (average release of 628,156 n/cm3 with a maximum of 1,114,987 n/cm3) and pauses (average of 32,633 n/cm3 and a maximum of 733,779 n/cm3). The monitored values during pauses are particularly relevant since no personal protection equipment was used in the wire processes and the operators could access the printing room during pauses for device interventions, thus being exposed to significant nanoparticle concentrations. This study presents a preliminary evaluation of the potential exposure during laser metal deposition while implementing different technologies and provides evidence for defining effective operational safety procedures for the operators.

description: The relation between network structure and dynamics is determinant for the behavior of complex systems in numerous domains. An important long-standing problem concerns the properties of the networks that optimize the dynamics with respect to a given performance measure. Here we show that such optimization can lead to sensitive dependence of the dynamics on the structure of the network. Specifically, using diffusively coupled systems as examples, we demonstrate that the stability of a dynamical state can exhibit sensitivity to unweighted structural perturbations (i.e., link removals and node additions) for undirected optimal networks and to weighted perturbations (i.e., small changes in link weights) for directed optimal networks. As mechanisms underlying this sensitivity, we identify discontinuous transitions occurring in the complement of undirected optimal networks and the prevalence of eigenvector degeneracy in directed optimal networks. These findings establish a unified characterization of networks optimized for dynamical stability, which we illustrate using Turing instability in activator-inhibitor systems, synchronization in power-grid networks, network diffusion, and several other network processes. Our results suggest that the network structure of a complex system operating near an optimum can potentially be fine-tuned for a significantly enhanced stability compared to what one might expect from simple extrapolation. On the other hand, they also suggest constraints on how close to the optimum the system can be in practice. Finally, the results have potential implications for biophysical networks, which have evolved under the competing pressures of optimizing fitness while remaining robust against perturbations.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this study, problems in determining threshold stress intensity factor (KISCC) in corrosive environment for thin narrow sections have been identified and a novel technique circumferential notch tensile (CNT) has been successfully used to determine KISCC of thin sections. Although a narrow zone of steel weld was successfully tested by CNT technique, the KISCC data were not very reliable because of poor weld quality. Specimens with simulated microstructure of heat affected zone were used for determination of KISCC of heat affected zone and base metal, using CNT technique. Stress corrosion crack growth in caustic solution (30% NaOH) at elevated temperatures (100 ºC) has been determined using this technique. CNT technique has also been successfully used to study the effect of sensitization on KISCC and crack growth rate of thin sections of solution annealed and sensitized stainless steel in 42% MgCl2 environment. Stress corrosion crack growth was found to be faster in sensitized stainless steel than solution annealed. In this study, effect of caustic solution chemistry on stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of carbon steel has been studied. Constant load tests with fatigue pre-cracked specimens were conducted in 10, 20, 30 and 40% caustic concentration at different temperatures varying from 45-100 ºC. Caustic cracking susceptibility diagram has been verified using CNT technique. Stress corrosion crack initiation in blunt notch has also been studied in Bayer solution and plain caustic solution. Addition of impurities has significant effect on stress corrosion cracking susceptibility. Hence, constant load tests were conducted in real plant Bayer solution. Concentration of Bayer solution was altered to 10, 20, 30 and 40% free caustic concentrations by adding NaOH. Tests temperatures were decided in such a way that they lie in definite cracking, potential cracking and no cracking regions of the susceptibility diagram, 30% free caustic concentration Bayer solution was highly susceptible for caustic cracking even at lower temperatures (55 ºC). A few tests have been carried out to develop mechanistic understanding of the role of imposed electrochemical potential in caustic cracking susceptibility

The perpetrators of the next pandemic are already among us, they are viruses that today affect animals but that could at any moment make a leap of species – a spillover in technical jargon – and also affect humans...’ These words, taken from a review, feature in the blurb for the Italian translation of David Quammen’s Spillover. Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic, published by Adelphi in 2014 two years after the original English edition. Given the experience that the whole world is currently living through, it may sound like a self-fulfilling prophecy has transformed the projections of the near or distant future in many science-fiction films into reality. Instead, though, the sentences actually lead us back to a distant past in antiquity and the Middle Ages when social isolation and distancing were adopted as measures to contain and fight the plague, a long-term epidemic that spread throughout Europe, tragically decimating the population and drastically slowing down economic and social development with negative repercussions that lasted for decades. The rapidity of the spread of the current pandemic and the difficulty in stemming the flow bring to mind the thinking of two scholars of modernity: Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens. While the former underlines that risks become global in an increasingly globalised and interconnected society, the latter stresses that issues of trust and risk have changed in late modernity, and that many of these risks are the result of the ever-more invasive and aggressive impact of man on the environment.

description: The health emergency linked to the spread of COVID-19 has profoundly transformed people’s lives, both from the point of view of family and significant relationships, and at work, substantially modifying the relationship between these two significant areas. This contribution is aimed at assessing how Italian families are facing the current situation in dealing with work and care responsibilities using data from a CAWI study done during Phase 1 of the emergency (full lockdown, from March to April 2020) that surveyed over 1,391 participants, 73% women, (Mage = 47; SD = 11.3). Findings from this study will contribute to a more thorough understanding of how people have reconciled work and care responsibilities during the lockdown, as well as their coping strategies. Findings from multivariate analysis have shown how health emergency and the related containment measures impact both personal/parental and work spheres, producing negative effects on the specific group of working parents, especially women. The 78% of respondents indicated that they continued to work mostly from home (62%) while simultaneously taking care of children. Moreover, married women and young people, and those without children, performed more effective coping strategies. Such results reveal the challenges of a nuclear family unit, wherein parents are separated from parental networks and time between family and work must be reconciled. Such problems are particularly challenging for women.

Rigorous effective bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of continued fraction Cantor sets: a hundred decimal digits for the dimension of $E_2$

description: We prove that the algorithm of [13] for approximating the Hausdorff dimension of dynamically defined Cantor sets, using periodic points of the underlying dynamical system, can be used to establish completely rigorous high accuracy bounds on the dimension. The effectiveness of these rigorous estimates is illustrated for Cantor sets consisting of continued fraction expansions with restricted digits. For example the Hausdorff dimension of the set $E_2$ (of those reals whose continued fraction expansion only contains digits 1 and 2) can be rigorously approximated, with an accuracy of over 100 decimal places, using points of period up to 25. The method for establishing rigorous dimension bounds involves the holomorphic extension of mappings associated to the allowed continued fraction digits, an appropriate disc which is contracted by these mappings, and an associated transfer operator acting on the Hilbert Hardy space of analytic functions on this disc. We introduce methods for rigorously bounding the approximation numbers for the transfer operators, showing that this leads to effective estimates on the Taylor coefficients of the associated determinant, and hence to explicit bounds on the Hausdorff dimension.

description: In recent months, COVID-19 has distorted our everyday life in unexpected and violent ways, irreversibly devastating our apparently strong world structures. Although each country has tried to cope with the crisis, the repercussions on health, economy, social and family life, have quickly emerged around the world. The pandemic has redefined the criteria for health and well being as much as the virus itself. Moved by this unprecedented emergency, the family suffers the effects of the virus in a mirror like way quite different from the effect on the individuals in that space, whose relationships - out of equilibrium - fall apart when hit by the classic tension-accommodation dichotomy (Simmel, 1895). This tension is generated by the fear of death and disease, keeping pace with the growth of the pandemia, a common realization byway of an uncertain future; as well as by the financial strains that weigh on an already precarious personal and family economy, as well as by the expression of feelings that change our language and relationship to each other, proposing caution and circumspection. Within the home, time and personal space are necessarily subject to new forms of management, sharing, and redefinition. We have used a qualitative methodology of narrated communication using semi-structured interviews and in-depth interviews. Our research illustrates ways in which understanding the impact of the pandemic on our families and the new vulnerabilities that derive from it, activate mechanisms to contain the tensions associated with them and the new needs that gradually emerge.

Combining 3-momentum and kinetic energy on Galilei/Newton spacetime
Creators: name: Cardall, Christian Y.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Without the mass-energy equivalence available on Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{M}$, it is not possible on 4-dimensional non-relativistic Galilei/Newton spacetime $\mathbb{G}$ to combine 3-momentum and total mass-energy in a single tensor object. However, given a fiducial frame, it is possible to combine 3-momentum and kinetic energy into a linear form (particle) or $(1,1)$ tensor (continuum) in a manner that exhibits increased unity of classical mechanics on flat relativistic and non-relativistic spacetimes $\mathbb{M}$ and $\mathbb{G}$. As on $\mathbb{M}$, for a material continuum on $\mathbb{G}$, the First Law of Thermodynamics can be considered a consequence of a unified dynamical law for energy-momentum rather than an independent postulate.

Families, Relational Scenarios and Emotions in the Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Creators: name: Musolino, Santina
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2020
Subjects: COVID-19; families; emotions

description: This paper will focus on the impact that the COVID-19 emergency and the policies and decisions taken to deal with it (mostly lockdown and social distancing) have had on interpersonal relationships. In particular, it will explore the changes and relational scenarios which have emerged within the patterns of daily family life in the context of a temporary social deprivation caused by the pandemic. To explore this topic, the following contribution will draw on the most recent scientific literature on the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects moving within the theoretical framework of the sociology of emotions. The paper will also discuss how the exploration of emotional life, given its relational nature, can offer interesting sociological reflections on the consequences of COVID-19 on individuals’ perceptions of others and, in doing so, can also suggest new research paths to follow.
