Key Elements of Creative city development: An Assessment of Local Creative Industry in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Wasyehune, Mekonnen
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Innovation and creativity are broadly used terms and Creative city concept is present in European and other countries policy documents, including EU policy, UNDP and other international organization strategies. Ethiopia has historically exhibited creativity in economic activities as demonstrated by their contribution to various aspects of culture. Today this creativity has definitely been minimized by the nature of technological changes and structural shift in economics, particular ly in most productive activities. In order to enhance creative city, there is a need to assess creative industries. Which is lagging behind, the understanding of its implications often causes confusion, both among policy makers and the broader public. This thesis aims at providing the justification for emphasis on creative industry for the advancement of creative city, and tries to show the prospects and challenges in relation to the creative industries and city development in Addis Ababa. The objective of this study is to examine what actually are essential elements of a creative city, and to what extent are these have the potential to be viable for urban economic development, also in the longer term. In view of the above, this study reflects on the long-term value of the creative city thesis for the economic competitiveness of the city from a creative industry perspective. Coherent with this in this study qualitative models have been significantly utilized in analyzing the contributing factors of creative city elements. In this creative industry development analysis, the principle Criteria Indicator (PCI) descriptive method of data analysis used to explain whether these key elements are existed. Next, it analyses their practical application in Addis Ababa. By assessing these cases against the background of the listed success factors, the paper concludes with the opportunities and the threats that currently Addis has faced in relation to creative city development. Finally, the study recommend that Addis has to work more on the opportunities and threats that the city faces in relation to creative industry development in order to transform in to creative city and further study has to be done to narrow the gap in relation to the concept of creative city development in Addis Ababa.
A Quadratic Manifold for Model Order Reduction of Nonlinear Structural Dynamics

description: This paper describes the use of a quadratic manifold for the model order reduction of structural dynamics problems featuring geometric nonlinearities. The manifold is tangent to a subspace spanned by the most relevant vibration modes, and its curvature is provided by modal derivatives obtained by sensitivity analysis of the eigenvalue problem, or its static approximation, along the vibration modes. The construction of the quadratic manifold requires minimal computational effort once the vibration modes are known. The reduced order model is then obtained by Galerkin projection, where the configuration-dependent tangent space of the manifold is used to project the discretized equations of motion.

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

description: This research was carried out with the objectives of examining the key Determinants of Diffusion of Online Payment Systems in Addis Ababa and the relationship among these key determinants in the case of potential adopter buyers and potential adopter sellers. It used the five characteristics of innovation – relative advantage, compatibility, simplicity, trialability and observability – of the Diffusion of Innovations Theory (DIT) by Everett M. Rogers. Questionnaires were distributed and 342 from potential adopter buyers and 96 from potential adopter sellers were finally used for analysis using SPSS software. Frequency distributions were checked to summarize demographic profiles, correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship among key determinants of diffusion and multiple regression analysis were used to check the effect of innovation attributes on the diffusion of online payment system in Addis Ababa. The results show that, for the case of potential adopter buyers, only compatibility, trialability and observability were found to be significantly determining diffusion of online payment system in a positive direction and for the case of potential adopter sellers, only relative advantage has shown a significant influence which was positive. The determinants were also found to have a positive relationship among each other. As a result, the researcher recommends that banks or other financial institutions that will be given the task to facilitate online payment system shall operate in accordance with the findings by focusing on compatibility, trialability and observability when designing marketing programs for potential adopter buyers and focus on relative advantage features when designing marketing programs for potential adopter sellers.

Decoherence enhances performance of quantum walks applied to graph isomorphism testing

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Computational advantages gained by quantum algorithms rely largely on the coherence of quantum devices and are generally compromised by decoherence. As an exception, we present a quantum algorithm for graph isomorphism testing whose performance is optimal when operating in the partially coherent regime, as opposed to the extremes of fully coherent or classical regimes. The algorithm builds on continuous-time quantum stochastic walks (QSWs) on graphs and the algorithmic performance is quantified by the distinguishing power (DIP) between non-isomorphic graphs. The QSW explores the entire graph and acquires information about the underlying structure, which is extracted by monitoring stochastic jumps across an auxiliary edge. The resulting counting statistics of stochastic jumps is used to identify the spectrum of the dynamical generator of the QSW, serving as a novel graph invariant, based on which non-isomorphic graphs are distinguished. We provide specific examples of non-isomorphic graphs that are only distinguishable by QSWs in the presence of decoherence.

An Assessment of Size of Compliance costs, Tax knowledge and Tax compliance of Medium Enterprises Owned by Category "A" Tax payers: The Case of Lideta Sub city of Addis Ababa City Administration
Creators: name: Zekarias, Mekonnen
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The objective of the study is to assess the size of tax compliance cost incurred by medium enterprises that fall under category "A" taxpayers division, the tax knowledge level of the owners of the businesses and the degree of tax compliance that exist among them. The research is quantitative one with a descriptive research design.140 sample participants were selected randomly from a total population of 220.Data was gathered through self-administered questionnaires that comprised of both closed and open ended questions and the data collection process resulted in a 100% rate of return. Quantitative method of data analysis was carried out with the use of SPSS and Microsoft Excel softwares.The results attained indicate that average tax compliance cost incurred by each firm that outsources its tax affairs amounts to Birr 75953 per year and firms that use in-house staff service to handle their tax affairs incur a cost of Birr 99040 per year. Moreover, the results indicated that the business owners are both highly aware of tax laws and rules and compliant.Eventhough the results for tax knowledge and tax compliance aspects are desirable, the amount of tax compliance cost incurred by the businesses is not small enough to be ignored. Therefore, it is recommended thatERCA needs to consider the use of E-filing, raising business tax thresholds and train tax payers on efficient use of resources in order to minimize their tax compliance burden.

description: The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of multichannel distribution system on company performance in the MOHA soft drinks industry. The study undertook an explanatory research design and quantitative approach with a population of 125 respondents from which a sample of 106 was drawn. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect responses. Measurement of the relationships of the study (channel level, channel control, channel cooperation, channel conflict and company performance) was done and subjected to rigorous data processing and analysis using the relevant statistical computer software packages. Findings indicated that there were significant relationships between channel level, channel control, and company performance. And there is no significance relationship between channel cooperation channel conflict and company performance. Results from regression analysis showed channel level and channel control were significant predictors of company performance. The study recommends therefore, that since the model could only explain 20% in variance of the company performance of MOHA soft drinks industry, a study be carried out comprising of other factors which were not part of the model. The finding of the study showed that there is no a significance difference between category of respondents employee and depots with regard to all factors. After examining the results and reaching on conclusions, the researcher recommended that the company should focus their attention on channel control in selection, motivation, training and evaluation of channel members and on channel level to take great care about choosing the right distributors

We propose to investigate the pion double charge exchange (DCX) reaction, i.e. $^4\mathrm{He}(π^- , π^+)$, as an alternative way to populate tetraneutron. An intense $π^-$ beam with the kinetic energy of ~850 MeV, much higher than that in past experiments at LAMPF and TRIUMF, will open up a possibility to improve the experimental sensitivity of the formation cross section, which will be much smaller than hitherto known DCX cross sections such as $^9\mathrm{Be}(π^-, π^+)^9\mathrm{He}\ (g.s.)$.

title: Analysis of the contribution of diet, exercise, and the gut on the onset and severity of unipolar depression and anxiety between the sexes
Creators: name: Hinks, Meagan E.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorder are two of the leading causes of global disease burden, with females being twice as likely as males to be diagnosed with the disorders. Despite this distinct sex-linked disparity of diagnosis, it is unclear what underlies the sex bias of these affective conditions. In Experiment 1, we investigated whether sex interacts with the lifestyle factors of diet and exercise to predict incidence of prior diagnosis, current treatment, and symptom severity of unipolar depression and anxiety disorder using the archival Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health (PATH) database. For Experiments 2A through 2C, we used two mouse models of depression and healthy controls to assess the role of sex and the gut microbiome on the display of depressive-like behaviours. In Experiment 1, the expected two-fold increase in MDD and anxiety disorder diagnosis was found, and diet and exercise significantly predicted MDD and anxiety disorder prevalence and severity. For Experiments 2A through 2C, it was found that gut microbial transfer from females of both healthy and depression models was sufficient to induce depressive-like behaviours, and female gut contents from depression models was most effective at inducing behavioural changes in female recipients. Together, these findings begin to elucidate the factors contributing to the sex bias in affective disorders as well as identify future avenues for alternative treatments for these conditions.

description: The purpose of this study was the evaluation of good governance practices using comparative analysis method. The study used qualitative and quantitative research design where random sampling method was used for selection of clients. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS windows version 20.0. Questionnaires used to gather raw data from the respondents. Secondary data were also collected from different existing sources. The data were analyzed using Microsoft excel and presented using tables and chart. The findings show that in TASH there is poor accountability, lack transparency and less responsiveness their client in contrast to SPSH. The findings also show that in TASH stakeholders did not make the society or another stakeholder to participate in the provision of basic service delivery, in the supervision of basic service delivery, in the financial activities, and in handling customers' complaints compared to SPSH. Although there are attempts of good governance practices, a lot need to be done at the TASH in contrast to SPSH. The study recommended that, to improve good governance practice, the management of Hospitals should ensure that two Specialized Hospital staff are aware of the elements of good governance practice and adhere to them in their day to day activities.

In particular, we argue that the concepts of surreal numbers and matroids can be linked. Moreover, we established a relation between the Gonshor approach on surreal numbers and tensors. We also comment about the possibility to connect surreal numbers with supesymmetry. In addition, we comment about possible relation between surreal numbers and fractal theory. Finally, we argue that the surreal structure may provide a different mathematical tools in the understanding of singularities in both high energy physics and gravitation.

description: Recently, the call for more industrialization in Africa is becoming stronger than ever. Policy makers acknowledged ability of industrialization through industrial policies to bring prosperity, new jobs, and better economies for all. Nonetheless, for different policies including industrial policy, little attention is paid to the subject of policy implementation by policy makers. This study tried to examine the implementation practice of Ethiopia"s Industrial policy. The study do have three specific objectives to evaluate the performance of industrial sector under GTP II, to assess the internal validity, clarity and comprehensiveness of industrial policy and to examine factors influencing the successful implementation of industrial policy. In order to attain the objective of the study and answer the research questions, both descriptive and exploratory research methods were used. The study employed mixed research approach to collect, analyze and interpret the date. Both primary and secondary sources of data were employed in order to obtain relevant data to the study. In this regard, in order to collect primary data, questionnaire survey and interview techniques were used and the questionnaire was self-administered. The study also adopted a face-face interview. Non-probability sampling method was employed to select the samples in order to achieve the objective the research. From the non- probability sampling method quota sampling was employed. Accordingly, 90 samples were selected from the Ministry of Trade and Industry five institutions accountable to the Ministry. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Based on the above mention methodology and design the study found that the performance of the industrial sector found to be disappointing in achieving its targets set in the second Growth and Transformation Plan (GTPII). The study revealed that the goals of the Industrial policy found to be explicitly stated and concrete enough. Regarding the internal validity, the study finds out that the policy is supported by internal validity in logically drawing outcome from the goals and strategy priorities. Evidence from the analysis of findings from this study suggested that the industrial policy/strategy is comprehensive enough to cover issues related to the industrial sector. And finally the study identified a number of factors influencing industrial policy implementation. The study recommended that the development of new industrial policy document, good coordination mechanisms and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms should be implemented.

description: High-mass stars shape the interstellar medium in galaxies, and yet, largely because the initial conditions are poorly constrained, we do not know how they form. One possibility is that high-mass stars and star clusters form at the junction of filamentary networks, referred to as 'hubs'. In this letter we present the complex anatomy of a protocluster hub within an Infrared Dark Cloud (IRDC), G035.39-00.33, believed to be in an early phase of its evolution. We use high-angular resolution ($\{θ_{\rm maj}, θ_{\rm min}\}=\{1.4{\rm arcsec}, 0.8{\rm arcsec}\}\sim\{0.02{\rm pc}, 0.01{\rm pc}\}$) and high-sensitivity ($0.2$mJy beam$^{-1}$; $\sim0.2$M$_{\odot}$) 1.07 mm dust continuum observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to identify a network of narrow, $0.028\,\pm\,0.005$pc wide, filamentary structures. These are a factor of $\gtrsim3$ narrower than the proposed 'quasi-universal' $\sim0.1$pc width of interstellar filaments. Additionally, 28 compact objects are reported, spanning a mass range $0.3{\rm M_{\odot}}

description: The origin of quantum fluctuations responsible for the spin liquid state in Tb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ has remained a long standing problem. By synchrotron-based terahertz measurements, we show evidence of strong coupling between the magnetic and lattice degrees of freedom that provides a path to the quantum melting process. As revealed by hybrid crystal electric field-phonon excitations that appear at 0.67 THz below 200 K, and around 0.42 THz below 50 K, the double vibronic process is unique for Tb$^{3+}$ in the titanate family due to adequate energy matching and strong quadrupolar moments. The results suggest that lattice motion can indeed be the driving force behind spin flips within the hybridized ground and first excited states, promoting quantum terms in the effective Hamiltonian that describes Tb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$.

description: An intriguing alternative to cold dark matter (CDM) is that the dark matter is a light ( $m \sim 10^{-22}$ eV) boson having a de Broglie wavelength $λ\sim 1$ kpc, often called fuzzy dark matter (FDM). We describe the arguments from particle physics that motivate FDM, review previous work on its astrophysical signatures, and analyze several unexplored aspects of its behavior. In particular, (i) FDM halos smaller than about $10^7 (m/10^{-22} {\rm eV})^{-3/2} M_\odot$ do not form. (ii) FDM halos are comprised of a core that is a stationary, minimum-energy configuration called a "soliton", surrounded by an envelope that resembles a CDM halo. (iii) The transition between soliton and envelope is determined by a relaxation process analogous to two-body relaxation in gravitating systems, which proceeds as if the halo were composed of particles with mass $\sim ρλ^3$ where $ρ$ is the halo density. (iv) Relaxation may have substantial effects on the stellar disk and bulge in the inner parts of disk galaxies. (v) Relaxation can produce FDM disks but an FDM disk in the solar neighborhood must have a half-thickness of at least $300 (m/10^{-22} {\rm eV})^{-2/3}$ pc. (vi) Solitonic FDM sub-halos evaporate by tunneling through the tidal radius and this limits the minimum sub-halo mass inside 30 kpc of the Milky Way to roughly $10^8 (m/10^{-22} {\rm eV})^{-3/2} M_\odot$. (vii) If the dark matter in the Fornax dwarf galaxy is composed of CDM, most of the globular clusters observed in that galaxy should have long ago spiraled to its center, and this problem is resolved if the dark matter is FDM.

description: Service offering channels in banking sector has emerged on scene with a variety of forms such as internet banking, mobile banking, and ATM. Mature competition and global finance system has been forced to investigate the significance of customer satisfaction. This study was set to assess customers' satisfaction in service the case of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia using SERVEQAL model. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect primary data from 228 valid respondents who are customers of CBE, using convenient sampling technique. Data was analyzed using SPSS's frequencies and percentages, mean scores, Cronbach alpha, Pearson's linear correlation and regression analysis. The study was based on the three research objectives: (1) to measure service quality corresponds to each dimensions of SERVEQAL (2) to analyze the customer satisfaction on service quality and (3) to investigate the level of customer satisfaction. The result of the study reveals that the overall level of customer's satisfaction in the study area is low as compared those who were not satisfied. The result of study showed that all most all factors included in the study were significantly associated with customer's Satisfaction. Thus, it can be concluded that responsiveness and assurance remains the most determinant and/it strongly influence customer's satisfaction level of CBE. The result of study showed that all factors included in the study were significantly associated with customer's Satisfaction. In overall, the results of the regression revealed that all independent variables (service quality dimension) are significant with customer satisfaction. The finding revealed that all the service quality dimensions are significantly and positively associated with the overall customer satisfaction. Besides, Tangibility, Reliability, Responsiveness, Empathy and Assurance are highlighted as significant predictors and key factors in determining the customer satisfaction. But Responsiveness and Assurance was found as the most influential predictor of customer satisfaction. The researcher recommended that in order to ensure customer satisfaction CBE should improve the performance on all the dimensions of CBE service quality.

description: Predicting the behavior of real-time traffic (e.g., VoIP) in mobility scenarios could help the operators to better plan their network infrastructures and to optimize the allocation of resources. Accordingly, in this work the authors propose a forecasting analysis of crucial QoS/QoE descriptors (some of which neglected in the technical literature) of VoIP traffic in a real mobile environment. The problem is formulated in terms of a multivariate time series analysis. Such a formalization allows to discover and model the temporal relationships among various descriptors and to forecast their behaviors for future periods. Techniques such as Vector Autoregressive models and machine learning (deep-based and tree-based) approaches are employed and compared in terms of performance and time complexity, by reframing the multivariate time series problem into a supervised learning one. Moreover, a series of auxiliary analyses (stationarity, orthogonal impulse responses, etc.) are performed to discover the analytical structure of the time series and to provide deep insights about their relationships. The whole theoretical analysis has an experimental counterpart since a set of trials across a real-world LTE-Advanced environment has been performed to collect, post-process and analyze about 600,000 voice packets, organized per flow and differentiated per codec.

description: We consider models of chaotic inflation driven by the real parts of a conjugate pair of Higgs superfields involved in the spontaneous breaking of a grand unification symmetry at a scale assuming its Supersymmetric value. Employing Kaehler potentials with a prominent shift-symmetric part proportional to c- and a tiny violation, proportional to c+, included in a logarithm we show that the inflationary observables provide an excellent match to the recent Planck and Bicep2/Keck Array results setting, e.g., 0.0064<= c+/c-<1/N where N=2 or 3 is the prefactor of the logarithm. Deviations of these prefactors from their integer values above are also explored and a region where hilltop inflation occurs is localized. Moreover, we analyze two distinct possible stabilization mechanisms for the non-inflaton accompanying superfield, one tied to higher order terms and one with just quadratic terms within the argument of a logarithm with positive prefactor Ns<6. In all cases, inflation can be attained for subplanckian inflaton values with the corresponding effective theories retaining the perturbative unitarity up to the Planck scale.
