"Nobody teases good girls" A qualitative study on perceptions of sexual violence and harassment among young men in the slums of Mumbai
Creators: name: Zietz, Susannah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: OBJECTIVES: This paper seeks to better understand attitudes on sexual violence among young men in slum communities in Mumbai, India. METHODS: Ten focus group discussions were conducted with boys age 14-17 and young men age 18-24. Thematic analysis was performed using Atlas.ti 7. RESULTS: Despite a consensus on the lack of safety for girls in the community, sexual violence was justified by a seemingly instinctive designation of "good girls" and "bad girls." This is understood within the larger context of inequitable gender norms, drug and alcohol use, and lack of community sanctions against violence. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest multiple points of intervention for community mobilization in order to promote change in attitudes and behaviors towards sexual violence among this population.

Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2023

description: Collective labor disputes normally fall under the original jurisdiction of the Federal Courts, to be specific the Federal High Court, and that regional courts have only delegated power. In its different decisions, the Federal Supreme Court cassation division ruled that it lacks jurisdiction to entertain collective labor disputes decided by the Regional Supreme Courts in their appellate jurisdiction unless the Cassation remedy at Regional Supreme Courts is also exhausted. After such decision of the Federal Supreme Court, it becomes the norm that any collective labor dispute that was finally decided by the Regional Supreme Courts, at appellate level and through delegated power, is not eligible to be entertained by the Federal Cassation division before it is finally settled by the Regional Supreme Courts cassation bench. Therefore, this case comment aims at examining whether or not this position of the
 Federal Supreme Court is in line with the Constitution and other relevant laws of the country. In order to achieve these objectives, two relevant decisions of the Federal Cassation bench and relevant laws of the country are examined thoroughly. The findings of the study revealed that the decision of the Federal Cassation division is not in line with the Constitution and other relevant laws of the country. Collective labor dispute falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts, and the regional Supreme Court entertain such matters only through delegated power. According to the constitutional arrangement on delegation of power, the Regional Supreme Courts lack delegated power to entertain Federal Matters through cassation. Hence, once the Regional Supreme Courts passed a final decision over collective labor  dispute through appeal, it is only the federal Supreme Court that is entitled to entertain the case through cassation.

description: The structural, thermal, and dielectric properties of the ferroelectric phase of HfO$_2$, ZrO$_2$ and Hf$_{0.5}$ Zr$_{0.5}$ O$_2$ (HZO) are investigated with carefully validated density functional computations. We find, that the free bulk energy of the ferroelectric orthorhombic Pca2$_{1}$ phase is unfavorable compared to the monoclinic P2$_{1}$/c and the orthorhombic Pbca phase for all investigated stoichiometries in the Hf$_χ$Zr$_{1-χ}$O$_2$ system. To explain the existence of the ferroelectric phase in nanoscale thin films we explore the Gibbs / Helmholtz free energies as a function of stress and film strain and find them unlikely to become minimal in HZO films for technological relevant conditions. To assess the contribution of surface energy to the phase stability we parameterize a model, interpolating between existing data, and find the Helmholtz free energy of ferroelectric grains minimal for a range of size and stoichiometry. From the model we predict undoped HfO$_2$ to be ferroelectric for a grain size of about 4 nm and epitaxial HZO below 5 nm. Furthermore we calculate the strength of an applied electric field necessary to cause the antiferroelectric phase transformation in ZrO$_2$ from the P4$_2$/nmc phase as 1 MV/cm in agreement with experimental data, explaining the mechanism of field induced phase transformation.

Dunning Kreuger effect in military leadership selection
Creators: name: Nordmo, Morten
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: The dunning Kreuger hypothesis states that that incompetent individuals tend to overestimate their ability to a larger degree than more competent individuals, but recent evidence has challenged this idea. Based on observations that candidates’ perceptions of their own leadership ability upon entry into the Armed forces vary considerably with actual leadership ability in a non-linear fashion, we have been investigating the nature of this relationship. Preliminary exploratory findings revealed a polynomial relationship between self-ratings of leadership ability before experience and measured leadership ability during military selection, in line with the Dunning Kreuger hypothesis. Another follow-up study will attempt to replicate these exploratory findings with a larger sample and pre-registered hypotheses and design.

Value Added Tax and Turnover Tax on Legal Services in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Alkadir, Mohammode Doude
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2023

description: In the current tax system of Ethiopia sales tax is levied and being collected on legal services either by the federal government or the regional governments, on case by case basis, through instrumentality of value added tax and turnover tax. There are, however, vexing questions and qualms related to the legal basis and justifiability of the tax base, rate and the administration thereof. The main objective of this study is designing solutions by qualitatively scrutinizing these vexing questions and qualms. To this end the author made use of documents, interviews and focus group discussions as tools. The study also endeavors to examine the experience of other jurisdictions. The study, as a result, offered three alternative solutions of which the first is maintaining the existing scene by taxing legal services and urging the government to do its best in ensuring justice and protecting constitutional rights. On the other extreme, the study alternatively pleads for the abrogation of sales tax on legal services and its replacement by other revenue sources. As a third alternative, the study urges for the adoption of a graduated sales tax schedule for different categories of legal services. For this purpose the indispensability of the legal service and its nexus to constitutional rights; the clients’ ability to pay; and the governments’ financial need ought to be considered in levying different sales tax rate on different categories of legal services.

description: Recording experiments and decoding algorithms are presented for evaluating the bit-error-rate of state-of-the-art magnetic bitpatterned media. The recording experiments are performed with a static tester and conventional hard-disk-drive heads. As the reader dimensions are larger than the bit dimensions in both the down-track and the cross-track directions, a two-dimensional bit decoding algorithm is required. Two such algorithms are presented in details together with the methodology implemented to accurately retrieve island positions during recording. Using these techniques, a 1.6 Td/in$^2$ magnetic bit pattern media is demonstrated to support 2D bit error rates below 1e-2 under shingled magnetic recording conditions.

description: We monitored BL Lacertae for 13 nights in optical B, V, R, and I bands during October and November 2014 including quasi-simultaneous observations in V and R bands using two optical telescopes in India. We have studied multi-band optical flux variations, colour variation and spectral changes in this blazar. Source was found to be active during the whole monitoring period and showed significant intraday variability on 3 nights in V and R filters while displayed hints of variability on 6 other dates in R passband and on 2 nights in V filter. From the colour-magnitude analysis of the source we found that the spectra of the target gets flatter as it becomes brighter on intra-night timescale. Using discrete correlation technique, we found that intraday light curves in both V and R filters are almost consistent and well correlated with each other. We also generated spectral energy distribution (SED) of the target using the B, V, R, and I data sets for all 13 nights which could help us investigate the physical process responsible for the observed variations in BL Lacertae objects. We also discuss possible physical causes of the observed spectral variability.

Paid Family Leave: A Review of Existing Policies and Guidance on Implementation in the United States
Creators: name: Davis, Daijah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: This paper investigates paid family leave (PFL) policies at the national-level in Sweden and the state and municipality-level in the United States, determining the benefits that stem from them, and policies like them, around the world. It also reviews national-level policies proposed for PFL in the United States and provides recommendations. The author reviewed literature focusing on the impacts of PFL policies and the logistics of said policies. It was found that paid family leave policies had a positive impact on things like breastfeeding rates, infant mortality, and rates of pediatric abusive head trauma. PFL policies were also utilized as a tool in promoting gender equality in childrearing. It is recommended that the United States develop a national paid family leave policy that recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of already developed policies and improves upon them.

This report is generated by the economic group for the commissioner’s office and examines the critical issue of child food insecurity in Granville and Vance Counties in North Carolina. The contextual analysis evaluates the current and historical socio-economic factors that contribute to food insecurity, a high-priority social determinant of health that has a long-lasting impact on children’s mental and physical health. A multifaceted approach was utilized for stakeholder mapping and engagement, analysis of past policies, and development of new potential policies. The design process utilized quality tools to develop the change idea, focusing on and enhancing the school meal program and enhancing local food access. The design process emphasized the feasibility, sustainability, and scalability of the school meal program by establishing a steering committee to oversee the implementation and iteration process. This comprehensive assessment aims to inform policy and practice to reduce child food insecurity and improve health outcomes.

description: The prospect of a Dirac half metal, a material which is characterized by a bandstructure with a gap in one spin channel but a Dirac cone in the other, is of both fundamental interest and a natural candidate for use in spin-polarized current applications. However, while the possibility of such a material has been reported based on model calculations[H. Ishizuka and Y. Motome, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 237207 (2012)], it remains unclear what material system might realize such an exotic state. Using first-principles calculations, we show that the experimentally accessible Mn intercalated epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001) transits to a Dirac half metal when the coverage is > 1/3 monolayer. This transition results from an orbital-selective breaking of quasi-2D inversion symmetry, leading to symmetry breaking in a single spin channel which is robust against randomness in the distribution of Mn intercalates. Furthermore, the inclusion of spin-orbit interaction naturally drives the system into the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) state. Our results thus not only demonstrate the practicality of realizing the Dirac half metal beyond a toy model but also open up a new avenue to the realization of the QAH effect.

The Need to Endorse Corporate Environmental Responsibility and the Government Role in Ethiopia

Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2023

description: In promoting corporate environmental responsibility (CER) governments play key roles. CER develops a common corporate environmental policy framework and commits itself to action areas such as awareness creation, partnering, soft law development and mandating. As such it encourages the business sector to play its role in protecting the environment. In this article an attempt has been made to examine whether the Ethiopian government has played these key roles as mentioned. Accordingly, CER has been described, the government action areas have been identified and elaborated, and whether there is a need to endorse CER in Ethiopian and whether the government plays a role in these areas have been assessed. Pertinent laws and policy documents including the related literature have been consulted and reviewed. The findings show that, although there are convincing reasons for the Ethiopian government to play its own roles, there are only limited efforts. Moreover, some self-initiated business community efforts don’t also have government support and monitoring. Therefore, the government needs to develop a common corporate environmental policy framework and commits itself properly to the CER action areas so as to endorse and/or promote CER. Important suggestions are forwarded that can help make decisions in this regard.

Export Processing Zone Development in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Akalu, Mulugeta
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2023

description: Export processing zones [EPZs] have been used for over a century to attract investors who are interested in manufacturing and exporting. Despite long usage, the role and benefits of EPZs remain one of the most controversial areas both in practice and theory. However, the fact that countries from South East Asia and Latin America have obtained several benefits from EPZs encouraged countries such as Ethiopia to adopt them. Even though Ethiopia began its EPZs programme recently, the number of zones being built is increasing dramatically. Experience shows that the success or failure of industrial parks depends upon the host country’s condition. Most sub-Saharan African countries’ programmes of EPZs failed due to inappropriate domestic policies, regulatory systems and administration. The aim of this article was to scrutinize the impact, role, and status of Ethiopia’s export processing zones and to investigate the factors behind the success or failure of EPZs. To investigate the status of Ethiopian EPZs, the author has investigated the legal and policy frameworks of Ethiopia. Moreover, the EPZs of successful South East Asian countries and of those African countries who failed are also consulted to learn both from the success and failure stories. Using the teleological approach of comparing the realized goals against the targeted objectives, the author of this article finds that Ethiopian EPZs are not living up to their expectations. Since various factors are responsible for their underperformance, the government is advised to take numerous policy and regulatory improvements so as to reap the aspired benefits.

Non-linear cosmic ray Galactic transport in the light of AMS-02 and Voyager data

description: Context: Features in the spectra of primary cosmic rays (CRs) provide invaluable information on the propagation of these particles in the Galaxy. In the rigidity region around a few hundred GV, such features have been measured in the proton and helium spectra by the PAMELA experiment and later confirmed with a higher significance by AMS-02. We investigate the implications of these datasets for the scenario in which CRs propagate under the action of self-generated waves. Aims: We show that the recent data on the spectrum of protons and helium nuclei as collected with AMS-02 and Voyager are in very good agreement with the predictions of a model in which the transport of Galactic CRs is regulated by self-generated waves. We also study the implications of the scenario for the boron-to-carbon ratio: although a good overall agreement is found, at high energy we find marginal support for a (quasi) energy independent contribution to the grammage, that we argue may come from the sources themselves Results: A break in the spectra of all nuclei is found at rigidity of a few hundred GV, as a result of a transition from self-generated waves to pre-existing waves with a Kolmogorov power spectrum. Neither the slope of the diffusion coefficient, nor its normalisation are free parameters. Moreover, at rigidities below a few GV, CRs are predicted to be advected with the self-generated waves at the local Alfvén speed. This effect, predicted in our previous work, provides an excellent fit to the Voyager data on the proton and helium spectra at low energies, providing additional support to the model.

The Autonomy Rules of Documentary Credit in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Gelaw, Khalid Kebede
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2023

description: The 1960 Commercial Code of Ethiopia incorporated the principle of autonomy of documentary credit. The principle requires an absolute separation of the credit from the underlying contract. It imposes an obligation on the bank to honor the credit notwithstanding that there is an allegation or actual fraud in the required documents or the underlying contract. It creates a dilemma that, on one hand, if the principle is strictly applied the system of documentary credit may create undesirable consequences of system protected fraudsters and abuse of the credit. On the other hand, if it is applied loosely, it would degrade the autonomy of the credit and consequently extend unwarranted protection to unscrupulous parties who, in bad faith, demand enjoinment of payment under the credit for unfounded grounds. This article examined the issue of independence of documentary credit in the Ethiopian legal framework vis-à-vis the trending development of fraud exception rules. The study was conducted based on a qualitative research approach by analyzing laws, documents and data collected through interviews. The study revealed that, unlike the experience of other countries, there is no fraud exception to the autonomy rules of documentary credit in Ethiopia. The author recommended revising the Ethiopian law on documentary credit to incorporate fraud exception rules so as to maintain the equilibrium between ensuring
 autonomy of the credit and restraining fraudulent activities.

Catholicism in Italian cinema in the age of ‘the new secularisation’ (1958-1978)
Creators: name: Angeli, Silvia
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: This thesis explores the portrayal of Italian Catholicism in five feature films: E venne un uomo (A Man Named John, dir. Ermanno Olmi, 1965), Galileo (1968, dir. Liliana Cavani), Teorema (Theorem, 1968, dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini), Nel nome del padre (In the Name of the Father, 1972, dir. Marco Bellocchio) and Fratello sole, sorella luna (Brother Sun, Sister Moon, 1972, dir. Franco Zeffirelli). Challenging the notion of Italian Catholicism as a monolithic and unified system of thought, this investigation brings out its fragmented quality, thereby validating Antonio Gramsci’s claim of the coexistence of a plurality of religious tendencies in the country. The study focuses on a twenty-year period between 1958 and 1978, as it is during this period—referred to as “the new secularisation”—that the fragmentation underlying Italian Catholicism emerged with clarity. Within this context, the five chosen films offer ideal case studies to assess the plurality of attitudes towards Catholicism in that period: not only do they employ a large repertoire of narratives, persons, symbols, iconography, quotes, rituals and places of Catholic tradition, but they also reimagine this repertoire in either orthodox or provocative ways, effectively upholding or critiquing Catholicism as a belief system, Catholicism as practiced by the faithful and the Catholic Church as an institution. Analysis of the films is organised across the four areas suggested by Melanie J. Wright, namely narrative, style, cultural and religious context, and reception, with a focus on reception amongst Catholics. Analysis of these elements uncovers the five directors’ personal and unique approaches to religion, ultimately attesting not only to the immense cultural and social legacy of Catholicism in the country, but also to the existence of a multiplicity of religious sensitivities.
A Literature Review Of The Mental Health Of Pregnant Immigrant Women In The United States

Year: 2017

description: Approximately 10–15% of women experience perinatal depression in their life. Immigrants face higher risk factors for mental health disorder compared to their native-born counterparts in most countries around the world. With 244 million immigrants in the world, it is clear that mental health is a serious public health concern. This literature review focuses on the mental health concerns of immigrant women during and after pregnancy in the United States of America. Factors such as discrimination, stress, language barriers, access to care, cultural barriers, social support networks, all play a role in the mental health of prenatal and postpartum immigrant women. Immigrant women are at a higher risk for mental health disorders due to the high-risk factors in their lives compared to native born women.

We prove that: (1) an abelian topological group contains a direct product (direct sum) of $κ$-many non-trivial topological groups if and only if it contains a topologically independent, absolutely (Cauchy) summable subset of cardinality $κ$; (2) a topological vector space contains $\mathbb{R}^{(\mathbb{N})}$ as its subspace if and only if it has an infinite absolutely Cauchy summable set; (3) a topological vector space contains $\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{N}}$ as its subspace if and only if it has an $\mathbb{R}^{(\mathbb{N})}$ multiplier convergent series of non-zero elements. We answer a question of Hušek and generalize results by Bessaga-Pelczynski-Rolewicz, Dominguez-Tarieladze and Lipecki.
The Effect of Changes in Tax Rates Amidst Tax Years in the Determination of Corporate Income Taxes in Ethiopia

Year: 2023

description:  


A dispute occurred between ERCA v MIDROC Gold (Federal Supreme Court Cassation Division, File No. File No. 130705, 07 Sep. 2017), because the mining tax rate was re-amended from 35% to 25% in 26 July 2013, bifurcating the tax year of 2013, creating an issue what should be the effect of the change in the tax rates amidst the tax year, particularly, whether these two tax rates can be applied in determining the latter’s profit taxes. The Federal Tax Appeal Commission, the Federal High Court, the Federal Supreme Court and the Cassation Division of the Federal Supreme Court decided that mining income taxes are paid on the aggregate annual taxable income not by dividing the year into months, and applied the new 25% tax rate for the aggregate annual taxable income. The author, in this work, disagrees with these decisions and argues that the times from 01 January to 25 July and from 26 July to 31 December should have been separately treated as transitional tax years; the 35% and 25% tax rates should have been applied to these transitional tax years respectively, and the annual tax should have been the summation. In this way, it was possible to avoid the undue retroactive application of the 25% tax rate, to strike a balance between the tax authority’s interest to collect due taxes and the taxpayer’s interest to pay taxes only due according to law, and moreover, to develop a precedent to avoid possible similar future controversies.

description: Context: Be/X-ray binaries show outbursts with peak luminosities up to a few times $10^{37}\,$erg/s, during which they can be observed and studied in detail. Most (if not all) Be/X-ray binaries harbour accreting pulsars, whose X-ray spectra in many cases contain cyclotron resonant scattering features related to the magnetic field of the sources. Spectral variations as a function of luminosity and of the rotational phase of the neutron star are observed in many accreting pulsars. Aims: We explore X-ray spectral and timing properties of the Be/X-ray binary GX 304-1 during an outburst episode. Specifically, we investigate the behavior of the cyclotron resonant scattering feature, the continuum spectral parameters, the pulse period, and the energy- and luminosity-resolved pulse profiles. We combine the luminosity-resolved spectral and timing analysis to probe the accretion geometry and the beaming patterns of the rotating neutron star. Methods: We analyze the INTEGRAL data from the two JEM-X modules, ISGRI and SPI, covering the January-February 2012 outburst, divided in six observations. We obtain pulse profiles in two energy bands, phase-averaged and phase-resolved spectra for each observation. Results: We confirm the positive luminosity-dependence of the cyclotron line energy in GX 304-1, and report a dependence of the photon index on luminosity. Using a pulse-phase connection technique, we find a pulse period solution valid for the entire outburst. Our pulse-phase resolved analysis shows, that the centroid energy of the cyclotron line is varying only slightly with pulse phase, while other spectral parameters show more pronounced variations. Our results are consistent with a scenario in which, as the pulsar rotates, we are exploring only a small portion of its beam pattern.

description: We present a high-resolution elemental-abundance analysis for a sample of 23 very metal-poor (VMP; [Fe/H] < -2.0) stars, 12 of which are extremely metal-poor (EMP; [Fe/H] < -3.0), and 4 of which are ultra metal-poor (UMP; [Fe/H] < -4.0). These stars were targeted to explore differences in the abundance ratios for elements that constrain the possible astrophysical sites of element production, including Li, C, N, O, the alpha-elements, the iron-peak elements, and a number of neutron-capture elements. This sample substantially increases the number of known carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) and nitrogen-enhanced metal-poor (NEMP) stars -- our program stars include eight that are considered "normal" metal-poor stars, six CEMP-no stars, five CEMP-s stars, two CEMP-r stars, and two CEMP-r/s stars. One of the CEMP-$r$ stars and one of the CEMP-r/s stars are possible NEMP stars. We detect lithium for three of the six CEMP-no stars, all of which are Li-depleted with respect to the Spite plateau. The majority of the CEMP stars have [C/N] > 0. The stars with [C/N] < 0 suggest a larger degree of mixing; the few CEMP-no stars that exhibit this signature are only found at [Fe/H] < -3.4, a metallicity below which we also find the CEMP-no stars with large enhancements in Na, Mg, and Al. We confirm the existence of two plateaus in the absolute carbon abundances of CEMP stars, as suggested by Spite et al. We also present evidence for a "floor" in the absolute Ba abundances of CEMP-no stars at A(Ba)~ -2.0.

description: Conditional suspension of penalty is a legal device designed to suspend pronouncement and enforcement of penalty. Although the criminal proceeding presupposes conviction, sentencing and execution, articles 191 and 192 of the FDRE criminal code respectively provide for suspension of pronouncement and enforcement of penalty. Accordingly, a court may, upon the fulfillment of the conditions prescribed by this law, render either of the two depending on its possibility of reforming and reinstating the criminal. Despite many challenges, suspending enforcement of penalty is commonly practiced in the regional courts. This study, therefore, attempted to identify the challenges thereto by employing a qualitative research method and arrived at the following major findings.
 Unlike suspension of pronouncement of penalty, suspension of enforcement of penalty is rendered with the condition of two years’ probation period regardless of severity of the crime, punishment and the conduct of the criminal. Besides, failure to state the rules of conduct in a judgments, absence of follow up mechanisms, non-existence of independent probation entity/officer and procedural rule as to revoking suspension are the major pitfalls demanding urgent action in the criminal justice system.

description: This analysis focuses on the Ohio GOTV test that we set up in October 2020. The goal of the GOTV analysis is to measure the turnout effects of our best performing turnout content. In past Barometer experiments, we tested turnout content and measured its effects on a few measures (Turnout Index, Vote Enthusiasm, Biden Vote Enthusiasm), but we we did not have a way of understanding how our ads affected real world turnout. In this analysis, we aim to answer that question by seeing whether our best performing ads had an effect on verified vote.

description: The lattice strain and domain switching behaviour was investigated as a function of cyclic field and grain orientation for a pseudorhombohedral composition of the high Curie point piezoelectric system xBiScO3 - (1-x)PbTiO3 (x = 0.40) by in-situ electric field diffraction technique with high energy synchrotron x-rays. Along the field direction, the system exhibts five time large strain along 100 as compared to the 111 direction. A one-to-one correspondence between the 200 lattice strain and the 111 domain switching suggests a strong correlation between the two phenomena.

Charismatic leadership of media businesses: a case study of leaders of two media businesses in the post-Soviet states of Russia and Kyrgyzstan (1991-2016)
Creators: name: Tokbaeva, Dinara
Publisher: name: University of Westminster

description: This is a comparative case study of two media business leaders, one from Russia and one from Kyrgyzstan. Alexei Kharitonov of the Abak-Press and Kylychbek Sultanov of the Computer Press both started media companies after the break-up of the Soviet Union and managed to grow them from small businesses into the present media holdings.In comparing the media holding from Russia, which is the former Soviet Union’s largest economy, and the one from Kyrgyzstan, which is one of the smallest economies of the post-Soviet space, this will allow us to capture the processes of private media maturation in countries with a shared Soviet past, yet with a different present. The observed time frame is 25 years from the fall of the Soviet Union (1991-2016). Only 13 media holdings in both Russia and Kyrgyzstan were found to meet the criteria of financial self-sustainability without any reliance on state/foreign funds. The data came from 54 in-depth semi-structured interviews with company founders/owners, senior and junior staff, media experts, academics, representatives of competing businesses, and failed media entrepreneurs. Data collection took place in Ekaterinburg and Bishkek in 2014-16, and it was supported through a University of Westminster scholarship. Theory-wise, this research is focused on the concepts of charisma, media leadership and media entrepreneurship. The main argument is that Max Weber’s (1947) theory of charismatic authority is applicable to media business leaders in emerging economies. Charisma is a rare and transitory phenomenon (Yukl, 2013). This research argues that the charismatic authority of media leaders in the post-Soviet states is not only the closest to Weber’s original idea, but also morphs into the legal-rational authority of media managers once such companies enjoy financial stability. The reason for this can be explained through the turbulent nature of the media markets being formed (Vartanova, 2013) and the cultural character of the leadership which finds itself able to fit in certain contexts (Walter and Bruch, 2009). Moreover, in the fast-paced transition economy settings, the transformation from charismatic authority to legal-rational authority may take place within a single person. The Weberian theory of charismatic authority is discussed in this research alongside Alan Bryman’s (1992) findings on charisma in organisations and John Kotter’s (1982, 2012) model for the appraisal of general managers. In particular, Kotter’s framework for analysing the personal and background characteristics of company leaders is applied to analyse the maturation of leadership within privately-owned media businesses in Russia and Kyrgyzstan.

description: This article investigates the physical-layer security of cognitive radio (CR) networks, which are vulnerable to various newly arising attacks targeting on the weaknesses of CR communications and networking. We first review a range of physical-layer attacks in CR networks, including the primary user emulation, sensing falsification, intelligence compromise, jamming and eavesdropping attacks. Then we focus on the physical-layer security of CR networks against eavesdropping and examine the secrecy performance of cognitive communications in terms of secrecy outage probability. We further consider the use of relays for improving the CR security against eavesdropping and propose an opportunistic relaying scheme, where a relay node that makes CR communications most resistant to eavesdropping is chosen to participate in assisting the transmission from a cognitive source to its destination. It is illustrated that the physical-layer secrecy of CR communications relying on the opportunistic relaying can be significantly improved by increasing the number of relays, showing the security benefit of exploiting relay nodes. Finally, we present some open challenges in the field of relays assisted physical-layer security for CR networks.

The Role of Social Support During Pregnancy for African American Women

description: The idea that social context affects health is an old concept that has since taken new meaning in the light of health disparities and health care reform in the United States. As efforts to address differences in health outcomes become a major focus in health care, it is important to understand not only how social context affects health, but also the variation in the social contexts themselves. Observational studies suggest that social support contributes to reduction of preterm birth and low birthweight; however, previous reviews of intervention trials report limited evidence that social support improves gestational age or birthweight. These trials vary in the type of support provided, (i.e., educational, emotional, referral services), in the training of persons providing the support (nurse or lay health worker, or both) and in the intensity of the intervention. Previous studies have shown that low birthweight, preterm birth, and infant mortality rates differ based on race and ethnicity. However, few trials developed interventions that consider how the social context, or cultural experiences of African American women influence their social support needs. The purpose of this paper is three-fold: to describe how social support influences the experience of pregnancy for African American women; to review intervention studies of social support for pregnant African American women; and lastly, to present recommendations for future research and programming on social support for African American women.
