The Impact of National Bank of Ethiopia Directives on the Profitability and of Private Bank the Case of National Bank of Ethiopia Bill Purchase Requirement
Creators: name: Yesuf, Shimels
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: The financial system plays a pivotal role in economic activities in any country. Thus it is vital to determine the status and assess the financial health of the financial system and take corrective policy measures continuously. The main objective of the study is to examine the impact of National Bank of Ethiopia directive: NBE bill purchase requirement on the performance and liquidity of private commercial banks. Balanced fixed effect panel regression was used for the data of eight private commercial banks in the sample covered the period from 2007 to 2014 with a total of 64 observations. The study finds that purchasing NBE bill had a negative and significant impact of the profitability of private commercial banks in Ethiopia. However, the magnitude is not severe to result in loss. Moreover, the pre and post policy periods comparison revealed that a relatively better profitability record for private commercial banks during the time of policy restrictions by way of clearing the excess liquidity holding of banks, diversify other fee generating services and the cost related to bill purchase to some extent seems covered by the borrowers (stable liability prices and banks discretion to adjust their asset prices). Similarly the requirement of purchasing NBE bill had negative and significant impact on the liquidity of private commercial bank in Ethiopia. In addition the pre and post periods comparison revealed liquidity of private commercial banks decreased after requirement. This is due to the fact that the requirement of purchasing NBE bill has a possibility of creating maturity mismatches because Private Banks collect savings mostly at two to three-year maturity and even shorter in some cases and fulfilling the 27 percent requirement means that they have to freeze these resources for 5 years. Key words: government intervention, liquidity, NBE bill, profitability; private banks, regulation, supervision

description: We extend the publicly available quantumfdtd code. It was originally intended for solving the time-independent three-dimensional Schrödinger equation via the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and for extracting the ground, first, and second excited states. We (a) include the case of the relativistic Schrödinger equation and (b) add two optimized FFT-based kinetic energy terms for the non-relativistic case. All the three new kinetic terms are computed using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). We release the resulting code as version 3 of quantumfdtd. Finally, the code now supports arbitrary external file-based potentials and the option to project out distinct parity eigenstates from the solutions. Our goal is quark models used for phenomenological descriptions of QCD bound states, described by the three-dimensional Schrödinger equation. However, we target any field where solving either the non-relativistic or the relativistic three-dimensional Schrödinger equation is required.

description: We report updated results for the first 7 years of our program to monitor 27 galaxies within 10 Mpc using the Large Binocular Telescope to search for failed supernovae (SNe) -- core-collapses of massive stars that form black holes without luminous supernovae. In the new data, we identify no new compelling candidates and confirm the existing candidate. Given the 6 successful core-collapse SNe in the sample and one likely failed SN, the implied fraction of core-collapses that result in failed SNe is $f = 0.14^{+0.33}_{-0.10}$ at 90% confidence. If the current candidate is a failed SN, the fraction of failed SN naturally explains the missing high-mass red supergiant SN progenitors and the black hole mass function. If the current candidate is ultimately rejected, the data implies a 90% confidence upper limit on the failed SN fraction of $f < 0.35$.

description: We consider the question of whether the leading contribution to the entanglement entropy in holographic CFTs is truly given by the expectation value of a linear operator as is suggested by the Ryu-Takayanagi formula. We investigate this property by computing the entanglement entropy, via the replica trick, in states dual to superpositions of macroscopically distinct geometries and find it consistent with evaluating the expectation value of the area operator within such states. However, we find that this fails once the number of semi-classical states in the superposition grows exponentially in the central charge of the CFT. Moreover, in certain such scenarios we find that the choice of surface on which to evaluate the area operator depends on the density matrix of the entire CFT. This nonlinearity is enforced in the bulk via the homology prescription of Ryu-Takayanagi. We thus conclude that the homology constraint is not a linear property in the CFT. We also discuss the existence of entropy operators in general systems with a large number of degrees of freedom.

description: We show how cyclic $(f,σ,δ)$-codes over finite rings canonically induce a $\mathbb{Z}$-lattice in $\mathbb{R}^N$ by using certain quotients of orders in nonassociative division algebras defined using the skew polynomial $f$. This construction generalizes the one using certain $σ$-constacyclic codes by Ducoat and Oggier, which used quotients of orders in non-commutative associative division algebras defined by $f$, and can be viewed as a generalization of the classical Construction A for lattices from linear codes. It has the potential to be applied to coset coding, in particular to wire-tap coding. Previous results by Ducoat and Oggier are obtained as special cases.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The banking industry in Ethiopia faced uncertainties that pose a threat for the success of banks. Among the major threats, exchange rate is the one which influence banking financial performance.The aim of this study is to examine how exchange rate affects performance of private commercial banks in Ethiopia by using panel data of eleven sample private commercial banks over the period of 2009/10-2017/18.The secondary data analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and random panel regression model.The internal factors used in this study include loan growth, lending interest rate, Bank size whereas; the external factor is foreign exchange rate, real GDP growth and inflation rate. Moreover, Return on asset (ROA)was used to measure the banks performance.The empirical finding of this study reveals that at 5% level of significance exchange rate depreciation and loan growth has positive and statistically significant influence on the performance of private commercial banks in Ethiopia. On the other hand, lending interest rate, bank size, GDP growth and inflation have statistically insignificant influenceon the performance of private commercial banks. Based on the finding of the study, the study extends the following recommendations: the issues related to foreign exchange trading should always be taken into account in efforts to improve banks' foreign exchange transactions and financial performance. The banks management should adopt strategies so as to mitigate foreign exchange risk since depreciation has influence in determining the performance of the private commercial banks. Furthermore, private commercial banks should give adequate weight for foreign exchange risk management.

description: A partir de 1965 cerca de metade da população passou a ocupar as cidades, fazendo com que o processo de urbanização se acelerasse, especialmente em países como o Brasil, onde esse êxodo rural ocorreu de forma desorganizada. Atualmente, diversas cidades brasileiras passam por problemas urbanísticos e ambientais devido ao grande crescimento populacional, acúmulo de poluentes químicos, fluxo de veículos, além de queimadas e desmatamentos próximos ao perímetro urbano, fazendo com que as pessoas fiquem expostas às diversas doenças respiratórias. Essas doenças são muitas das vezes agravadas pela propagação de agentes virais, bacteroides ou por fungos. Uma boa qualidade de vida está associada às boas condições atmosféricas que ajudam no quadro de saúde e bem-estar de um determinado indivíduo. Em grandes cidades, onde há muita poluição e emissão de gases poluentes, o organismo humano sofre consequências adquirindo complicações do aparelho respiratório podendo afetar estruturas como a boca, nariz, laringe, faringe, traqueia e pulmão. Algumas doenças podem ser genéticas, e em outros casos agudos, surgindo a partir de infecções do sistema respiratório. Consoante a isso, neste projeto foi investigada a evolução de óbitos das Doenças do Aparelho Respiratório (DAR), no Brasil, entre os anos de 1996 e 2020. O governo federal mantém uma base de dados consolidada de DAR (doenças do grupo J00-J99) no site da Secretaria de Vigilância em Saúde. Foram realizados durante o projeto análises por estatística descritiva e mapas desenvolvidos em JavaScript e HTML para a visualização de dados e melhor compreensão e planejamento de meios para a avaliação da situação da saúde coletiva. Os resultados demonstram que a Região Sudeste contribui com a maioria dos óbitos do Brasil em números absolutos. Ademais, com os mapas foi possível visualizar que o estado de São Paulo foi o que mais obteve óbitos em número de casos absolutos e relativos, o estado de Roraima é o que tem o menor número de casos absolutos e o Maranhão é o que possui o menor número de casos relativos. Em suma, os resultados demonstram um crescimento do número de óbitos ao longo dos anos.

description: The advancement in the area of computer vision has been brought using deep learning mechanisms. Image Forensics is one of the major areas of computer vision application. Forgery of images is sub-category of image forensics and can be detected using Error Level Analysis. Using such images as an input, this can turn out to be a binary classification problem which can be leveraged using variations of convolutional neural networks. In this paper we perform transfer learning with state-of-the-art image classification models over error level analysis induced CASIA ITDE v.2 dataset. The algorithms used are VGG-19, Inception-V3, ResNet-152-V2, XceptionNet and EfficientNet-V2L with their respective methodologies and results.

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

description: Globally, users of financial statements need harmonized, transparent international financial reporting standardized (IFRS) to help them make economic decisions and to enable them to invest in across the globe their capital resources. Ethiopia has recognized the need for accepting those financial reporting standards that were set out by IASB and started implementing it by selecting 78 companies on the first phase as set out by Accounting and Auditing Board of Ethiopia (AABE) strategic plan of action. Therefore, the objective of this research paper is to identity the benefits would be obtained and challenges encountered during the implementation process which was started from July 8, 2017 in 78 entities in Ethiopia. This study deployed descriptive survey research design and applied quantitative research method or approach. The researcher distributed questionnaires to 180 employees selected using purposive sampling of the selected 60 sample entities using stratified sampling technique which were adopting IFRS in their company. The study used both stratified and purposive sampling techniques to select the entity and each respondent from their company. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires from chief executive officers (CEOs), Chief Finance Officers (CFOs) and Chief Internal Audit Function. The quantitative data were entered by using SPSS version 22, analyzed and results were presented in figure, tables, percent and frequency. Out of the total questionnaire distributed to 180 respondents 165 questionnaire returned to which is 91.67% response rate. The research analysis and finding indicted the following results: IFRS adaption in Ethiopian was positively influenced by economic growth rate, existence of financial markets even if it is in its infant phase, weakness of previews accounting system, enforcements of new legal systems and others factors such as external factors including influence of the world bank and IMF which forced government to adopt IFRS. The analysis also identified problems related to IFRS adoption such as complexity and difficulty of the standards, minimum number of the professionals, lack of technically competent staffs, non,- existence of professional association ,cost associated with IFRS.

description: We study the performance of the D-Wave 2X quantum annealing machine on systems with well-controlled ground-state degeneracy. While obtaining the ground state of a spin-glass benchmark instance represents a difficult task, the gold standard for any optimization algorithm or machine is to sample all solutions that minimize the Hamiltonian with more or less equal probability. Our results show that while naive transverse-field quantum annealing on the D-Wave 2X device can find the ground-state energy of the problems, it is not well suited in identifying all degenerate ground-state configurations associated to a particular instance. Even worse, some states are exponentially suppressed, in agreement with previous studies on toy model problems [New J. Phys. 11, 073021 (2009)]. These results suggest that more complex driving Hamiltonians are needed in future quantum annealing machines to ensure a fair sampling of the ground-state manifold.

description: The only available analytical framework for investigating QED processes in a strong laser field systematically relies on approximating the latter as a plane wave. However, realistic high-intensity laser beams feature much more complex space-time structures than plane waves. Here, we show the feasibility of an analytical framework for investigating strong-field QED processes in laser beams of arbitrary space-time structure by determining the energy spectrum of positrons produced via nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair production as a function of the background field in the realistic assumption that the energy of the incoming photon is the largest dynamical energy in the problem. A numerical evaluation of the angular resolved positron spectrum shows significant quantitative differences with respect to the analogous result in a plane wave, such that the present results will be also important for the design of upcoming strong laser facilities aiming at measuring this process.

description: The effect of the anomalous magnetic moment (AMM) on the chiral restoration is investigated at zero temperature in the strong magnetic fields with the vacuum magnetic regularization scheme. It is shown that the chiral restoration diagram sensitively depends on the AMM in the ultrastrong magnetic fields. In our work, the parameterization of AMM is employed as proportional to the square of the chiral condensate. The critical chemical potential is found to decrease linearly by the increasing coefficient in the AMM scale. At a smaller scale of the AMM, the critical chemical potential could go down and then grow up as the magnetic field increases. But at a larger scale, the magnetic catalysis on the critical chemical potential would not happen anymore.

description: This paper is concerned with the development and testing of advanced time-stepping methods suited for the integration of time-accurate, real-world applications of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The performance of several time discretization methods is studied numerically with regards to computational efficiency, order of accuracy, and stability, as well as the ability to treat effectively stiff problems. We consider matrix-free implementations, a popular approach for time-stepping methods applied to large CFD applications due to its adherence to scalable matrix-vector operations and a small memory footprint. We compare explicit methods with matrix-free implementations of implicit, linearly-implicit, as well as Rosenbrock-Krylov methods. We show that Rosenbrock-Krylov methods are competitive with existing techniques excelling for a number of problem types and settings.

description: We study local instabilities of a differentially rotating viscous flow of electrically conducting incompressible fluid subject to an external azimuthal magnetic field. In the presence of the magnetic field the hydrodynamically stable flow can demonstrate non - axisymmetric azimuthal magnetorotational instability (AMRI) both in the diffusionless case and in the double-diffusive case with viscous and ohmic dissipation. Performing stability analysis of amplitude transport equations of short-wavelength approximation, we find that the threshold of the diffusionless AMRI via the Hamilton-Hopf bifurcation is a singular limit of the thresholds of the viscous and resistive AMRI corresponding to the dissipative Hopf bifurcation and manifests itself as the Whitney umbrella singular point. A smooth transition between the two types of instabilities is possible only if the magnetic Prandtl number is equal to unity, $\rm Pm=1$. At a fixed $\rm Pm\ne 1$ the threshold of the double-diffusive AMRI is displaced by finite distance in the parameter space with respect to the diffusionless case even in the zero dissipation limit. The complete neutral stability surface contains three Whitney umbrella singular points and two mutually orthogonal intervals of self-intersection. At these singularities the double-diffusive system reduces to a marginally stable system which is either Hamiltonian or parity-time (PT) symmetric.

description: Urbanização é o crescimento da população que vive nas cidades em relação à que vive no campo. Em meados de 1965 o Brasil tornou-se um país urbano, quando mais da metade da sua população já habitava as grandes cidades, porém tal processo sucedeu-se de forma acelerada e não planejada. Presentemente, em decorrência do cenário apresentado inúmeras cidades brasileiras sofrem com problemas ambientais e sociais, em consequência do aumento populacional, infraestrutura mal planejada e o acúmulo exacerbado de lixo nas vias públicas fazendo com que a população fique cada vez mais susceptível aos alagamentos advindos das fortes chuvas. Aplicando este contexto, as cidades inteligentes são planejadas de forma a empregar tecnologias modernas a fim de apresentar um crescimento organizado das mesmas. A aplicação de ferramentas de inteligência artificial em sistemas de controle, como a lógica Fuzzy, mostra-se eficaz quanto a emprego de solução para o problema anteriormente citado. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste projeto de pesquisa foi apresentar um protótipo de controlador otimizado de bueiros eletrônicos baseado na utilização da lógica Fuzzy, e assim, mitigar o recorrente problema com alagamentos nas vias públicas. Para a apresentação da modelagem do controlador desenvolvido para o bueiro de contingência foi plasmado um conjunto de sensores que servirão como dados de entrada para o controlador e desenvolvido um modelo de protótipo no software Proteus, que consiste em um circuito de Arduino acionado por três sensores. O controle do bueiro é executado via logica Fuzzy, uma lógica de múltiplos valores que permite que as variáveis assumam qualquer valor real entre 0 e 1, por meio do Matlab junto a um conjunto de regras de inferência, previamente definidas, que definirão os graus de acionamento do dispositivo. Nesse primeiro momento, foram obtidos resultados, a partir do estudo das regras de inferência e após a aplicação da lógica Fuzzy, podendo observar as três diferentes situações de abertura do bueiro. Pode-se perceber a eficiência na análise e monitoramento inteligente do sistema sugerido no projeto possibilitando o refinamento do mesmo, em trabalhos futuros.
Resolving the Schwarzschild singularity in both classic and quantum gravity

description: The Schwarzschild singularity's resolution has key values in cracking the key mysteries related with black holes, the origin of their horizon entropy and the information missing puzzle involved in their evaporations. We provide in this work the general dynamic inner metric of collapsing stars with horizons and with non-trivial radial mass distributions. We find that static central singularities are not the final state of the system. Instead, the final state of the system is a periodically zero-cross breathing ball. Through 3+1 decomposed general relativity and its quantum formulation, we establish a functional Schrödinger equation controlling the micro-state of this breathing ball and show that, the system configuration with all the matter concentrating on the central point is not the unique eigen-energy-density solution. Using a Bohr-Sommerfield like "orbital" quantisation assumption, we show that for each black hole of horizon radius $r_h$, there are about $e^{r_h^2/\ell^2_\mathrm{pl}}$ allowable eigen-energy-density profile. This naturally leads to physic interpretations for the micro-origin of horizon entropy, as well as solutions to the information missing puzzle involved in Hawking radiations.

description: L’intérêt, ça vous parle ? Mais saviez-vous qu’il en existe plusieurs types ? Ce travail définit les deux types d’intérêts (individuel et situationnel) et a pour but de voir comment l’intérêt situationnel peut évoluer dans le contexte scolaire. Étant enseignante d’Éducation Physique et Sportive dans un établissement primaire vaudois, je me suis intéressée aux leviers pouvant influencer l’intérêt situationnel. L’étude porte sur la réalisation d’une séquence de handball avec deux classes de 7ème Harmos. Deux styles d’enseignement sont comparés dans ce travail : le style collaboratif et le style compétitif. Le thème du handball est divisé en 3 parties, la passe et le dribble, les tirs et le jeu. Chaque thème est travaillé selon les deux styles. Afin de mesurer l’intérêt des élèves, ils ont répondu à un questionnaire sur l’intérêt individuel et la compétence perçue en début et en fin de séquence, ainsi qu’à un questionnaire sur l’intérêt situationnel après chaque leçon. Tous ces résultats ont permis de répondre à la question de recherche suivante : « Quels sont les effets du style d’enseignement (collaboratif ou compétitif) sur l’intérêt individuel et situationnel des élèves lors des leçons d’éducation physique et sportive ? »

description: Kagome-lattice materials have attracted tremendous interest due to the broad prospect for seeking superconductivity, quantum spin liquid states, and topological electronic structures. Among them, the transition-metal kagome lattices are high-profile objects for the combination of topological properties, rich magnetism, and multiple-orbital physics. Here we report an inelastic neutron scattering study on the spin dynamics of a kagome-lattice antiferromagnetic metal Fe$_{0.89}$Co$_{0.11}$Sn. Although the magnetic excitations can be observed up to $\sim$250 meV, well-defined spin waves are only identified below $\sim$90 meV and can be modeled using Heisenberg exchange with ferromagnetic in-plane nearest-neighbor coupling $J_1$, in-plane next-nearest-neighbor coupling $J_2$, and antiferromagnetic (AFM) interlayer coupling $J_c$ under linear spin-wave theory. Above $\sim$90 meV, the spin waves enter the itinerant Stoner continuum and become highly damped particle-hole excitations. At the K point of the Brillouin zone, we reveal a possible band crossing of the spin wave, which indicates a potential Dirac magnon. Our results uncover the evolution of the spin excitations from the planar AFM state to the axial AFM state in Fe$_{0.89}$Co$_{0.11}$Sn, solve the magnetic Hamiltonian for both states, and confirm the significant influence of the itinerant magnetism on the spin excitations.

description: Das Volvo-Werk in Uddevalla gilt in bezug auf "Flexibilität, Einbeziehung der Kunden" und vor allem die Realisation "qualifizierter Teamarbeit" als "europäische Alternative zum japanischen Modell" der >lean production< in der Automobilindustrie, ja geradezu als Paradigma für die Möglichkeit einer "Versöhnung" von Rationalisierung und Humanisierung der Arbeit. Der Einfluß dieses Modells auf die europäische und selbst auf die japanische Industriekultur ist nicht gering einzuschätzen. Mit der Veröffentlichung des Beitrages von Åke Sandberg, dem Direktor am Schwedischen Zentrum zur Erforschung des Arbeitslebens (ALC), der in einer engagierten arbeitspolitischen Stellungnahme über die Gründe und Hintergründe sowie über mögliche Alternativen zu dem Stillegungsbeschluß berichtet, wollen wir unsere Leser zur Diskussion der wissenschaftlichen wie praktischen Konsequenzen der aktuellen Entwicklung auffordern. Weitere Beiträge zu diesem Thema sind geplant.
