Maladie infectieuse
Gestion de déchets

description: Objectifs. Faire un état des lieux de la disponibilité du matériel de prélèvement sanguin intraveineux et de la gestion des déchets à risque infectieux à Bamako, Mali. Méthodes. Une étude transversale multicentrique a été conduite de mai à juin 2015 comportant une collecte prospective de données dans 18 structures de soins (5 centres hospitaliers universitaires, 6 centres de santé de référence, 6 centres de santé communautaire et une infirmerie-hôpital militaire) du district de Bamako. Les données ont été recueillies par entretien individuel et observation. Notons que le pays ne dispose pas pour le moment de référentiel dans ce domaine et que les accidents d’exposition au sang (AES) sont sous-notifiés. Résultats. Les prélèvements sont effectués avec des aiguilles creuses standard dans 77,8% des centres et avec un système sous vide dans 72,2% d’entre eux. L’achat des matériels de prélèvement est effectué par les établissements dans 88,9% des centres, avec prise en compte des avis des biologistes dans 44,4% des cas. Le matériel de sécurité est utilisé dans 16,7% des cas, avec une disponibilité souvent ponctuelle. Il existe une procédure écrite de tri des déchets dans 94,4% des structures. La disponibilité de collecteurs en carton ou en plastique est de 100%. Un personnel est dédié à l’élimination des déchets d’activité de soins à risque infectieux (Dasri) dans 83,3% des cas. Le prétraitement des déchets par désinfection au chlore est réalisé dans 16,7% des cas et l’incinération sur place dans 33,3% des cas, dont 22,2% de façon artisanale. Conclusion. Le manque de matériel de sécurité expose le personnel au risque d’AES et les patients au risque d’infection associée aux soins. Il convient de renforcer le plateau technique, de veiller au respect des précautions standard lors des prélèvements et de former le personnel à la gestion rationnelle des déchets biomédicaux.

description: In this work, we use a combination of first-principles calculations under the density functional theory framework and heat transport simulations using the atomistic Green's function (AGF) method to quantitatively predict the contribution of the different scattering mechanisms to the thermal interface conductance of epitaxial CoSi$_2$-Si interfaces. An important development in the present work is the direct computation of interfacial bonding from density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) and hence the avoidance of commonly used `mixing rules' to obtain the cross-interface force constants from bulk material force constants. Another important algorithmic development is the integration of the recursive Green's function (RGF) method with Büttiker probe scattering that enables computationally efficient simulations of inelastic phonon scattering and its contribution to the thermal interface conductance. First-principles calculations of electron-phonon coupling reveal that cross-interface energy transfer between metal electrons and atomic vibrations in the semiconductor is mediated by delocalized acoustic phonon modes that extend on both sides of the interface, and phonon modes that are localized inside the semiconductor region of the interface exhibit negligible coupling with electrons in the metal. We also provide a direct comparison between simulation predictions and experimental measurements of thermal interface conductance of epitaxial CoSi$_2$-Si interfaces using the time-domain thermoreflectance technique. Importantly, the experimental results, performed across a wide temperature range, only agree well with predictions that include all transport processes: elastic and inelastic phonon scattering, electron-phonon coupling in the metal, and electron-phonon coupling across the interface.

Performance Impact of MISSION Statements in Ethiopian Business Enterprises: An Empirical Evaluation
Creators: name: Degefu, Getachew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2007

description: Many Ethiopian business firms are nowadays observed adorning their entrance lobbies, annual reports and promotional materials with their 'vision' and 'mission' statements. 'Do such statements of strategic intent, business purpose and values have any meaningful impact on organizational performance?' is the central question of this research project. The research has compiled and analyzed the mission statements and performance records of some ten Ethiopian business firms in the financial service sector. Various statistical inference techniques have been used to estimate whether there are any significant differences in performance among groups of firms with and without articulated mission statements, as well as among those with mission statements of different strategic orientations. The study has shown that there are no significant differences in performance between the sample enterprises with mission statements and those without as well as among those with mission statements of different strategic orientations. The reason is probably due to the low strategic values of the articulated mission statements that are not well supported by strategic management processes with in the organizations.

description: We present, experimentally and numerically, the observation of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam recurrence induced by breather solitons in a high-Q SiN microresonator. Breather solitons can be excited by increasing the pump power at a relatively small pump phase detuning in microresonators. Out of phase power evolution is observed for groups of comb lines around the center of the spectrum compared to groups of lines in the spectral wings. The evolution of the power spectrum is not symmetric with respect to the spectrum center. Numerical simulations based on the generalized Lugiato-Lefever equation are in good agreement with the experimental results and unveil the role of stimulated Raman scattering in the symmetry breaking of the power spectrum evolution. Our results shows that optical microresonators can be exploited as a powerful platform for the exploration of soliton dynamics.

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of personal selling on customer Loyalty: The case of Ethiopian Airlines. The study used quantitative research method and employed explanatory research design to objectively answer the research questions. For achieving the study objectives, 384 sample respondents were selected through non-probable convenient sampling technique. Accordingly, data were collected through self administered questionnaire from sample respondents. Out of 384 respondents, workable data were obtained from 372 respondents. The Data was analyzed using SPSS software to obtain descriptive statistics, comparing mean scores (i.e. independent t-test and ANOVA) and other analyses (i.e. correlation analysis and multiple linear regressions). According to the study finding, among five variables, two variables (selling skill and trust) were identified as the main factors that affect the loyalty of Ethiopian Airlines customers. The study also finds out that the remaining 3 variables: selling strategy, product or service knowledge and organizational policy and procedure knowledge have no significant effect on the loyalty of Ethiopian Airlines Customers. The finding of the study showed that there is a significance difference in perceiving the five factors between and among the customers of Ethiopian airlines with different demographic profiles. Furthermore, on the basis of the research finding, appropriate recommendations along with implications for further studies have been forwarded.

description: We report the discovery of two new invariants for three-qubit states which, similarly to the 3-tangle, are invariant under local unitary transformations and permutations of the parties. These quantities have a direct interpretation in terms of the anisotropy of pairwise spin correlations. Applications include a universal ordering of pairwise quantum correlation measures for pure three-qubit states; tradeoff relations for anisotropy, 3-tangle and Bell nonlocality; strong monogamy relations for Bell inequalities, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering inequalities, geometric discord and fidelity of remote state preparation (including results for arbitrary three-party states); and a statistical and reference-frame-independent form of quantum secret sharing.

An Assessment of Challenges and prospects of the Implementation of Community Policing: the Case Study of Bole Sub-city
Creators: name: Mulat, Frehiywot
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: This research explores the implementation of community policing program in the case of Bole sub city. In Ethiopia community policing is implemented by both the federal and state governments in their respective police institutions in order to change the very nature of police practice. This research involved 65 officers and 2 key informant interviews .Questionnaire were distributed to the sample respondent's officers of the sub city. Furthermore different related documents like report of Addis Ababa police commission and Bole sub city community policing division report were used to collect relevant data. Based on collected data, the researcher identified prospects of the approach as well as the challenges encountered through the implementation. Thus, the study revealed Bole sub city has benefited from the implementation in areas of crime prevention and better participation of the community. And the research also reveled major challenges in implementing community policing as lack of awareness and lack of training on the concept of community policing, absence of incentives schemes and employees low attitude towards community policing, the middle management reluctance to train and equip their subordinates, lack of expertise on the side of experts who follow up the implementation. Based on these results, recommendations are proposed: training both the employees and the middle management, increasing media role in creating awareness of the public about community policing and increasing opportunity in working together with the community in local development schemes

description: We present a mixer-duplexer-antenna leaky-wave system based on periodic space-time modulation. This system operates as a full transceiver, where the upconversion and downconversion mixing operations are accomplished via space-time transitions, the duplexing operation is induced by the nonreciprocal nature of the structure, and the radiation operation is provided by the leaky-wave nature of the wave. A rigorous electromagnetic solution is derived for the dispersion relation and field distributions. The system is implemented in the form of a spatio-temporally modulated microstrip leaky-wave structure incorporating an array of sub-wavelengthly spaced varactors modulated by a harmonic wave. In addition to the overall mixer-duplexer-antenna operation, frequency beam scanning at fixed input frequency is demonstrated as one of the interesting features of the system. A prototype is realized and demonstrated by full-wave and experimental results.

The Effect of Mass Customization on Competitive Strategy (The Case of Addis Ababa Tannery S.C & Tikur Abbay Shoe S.C)
Creators: name: Gutu, Abdeta
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2013

description: Now day"s customers are demanding more and more from time to time. There is a frequent change of customers" needs and wants. This in turn is bringing different challenges in the manufacturing system of firms. As a result of these and other factors mass customization as a production strategy has drawn great attention from scholars in various fields in the recent years. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of mass customization on competitive strategy in order to break the challenging paradox between the two strategies. In this study, mass customization was operationalised into four major approaches. These are: collaborative mass customization, adaptive mass customization, transparent mass customization & cosmetic mass customization. On the other hand, competitive strategy was defined as cost leadership strategy and differentiation strategy. Cost leadership was defined as low cost production of standardized products and differentiation was defined as producing products differently from competitors and trying to satisfy unique need of customers. Mixed research approach is used in this study. It is cross-sectional study. The researcher used self-constructed ordered response questionnaire and evaluated mass customization & competitive strategy of Addis Ababa Tannery S.C and Tikur Abbay Shoe S.C, with the help of 127 professional workers of the companies who are working in different departments and thereby measured the effect of the mass customization on the companys" competitive strategy. The researcher has analyzed the data with help of descriptive statistics and ordinal logistic regression model for ordered response questionnaire. The result shows negative effect of mass customization on competitive strategy except for transparent mass customization which positively affected both cost leadership and differentiation strategies. The positive effect is stronger between transparent mass customization and cost leadership strategy than between transparent mass customization and differentiation strategy. Lastly, some conclusions and recommendations are forwarded regarding the result of the investigation. Keywords: Mass customization, Cost leadership, Differentiation & Ordinal logistic regression model

description: We study the ergodic -- non-ergodic transition in a generalized Dicke model with independent co- and counter rotating light-matter coupling terms. By studying level statistics, the average ratio of consecutive level spacings, and the quantum butterfly effect (out-of-time correlation) as a dynamical probe, we show that the ergodic -- non-ergodic transition in the Dicke model is a consequence of the proximity to the integrable limit of the model when one of the couplings is set to zero. This can be interpreted as a hint for the existence of a quantum analogue of the classical Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theorem. Besides, we show that there is no intrinsic relation between the ergodic -- non-ergodic transition and the precursors of the normal -- superradiant quantum phase transition.

The Role and Engagement of Civil Society in Ethiopia's first Cycle African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) Process
Creators: name: Assefa, Deribe
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: African peer Review mechanism (APRM) is a voluntarily self assessment mechanism in which each participating country's government is evaluated and monitored from the four dimensions of governance: Democracy and political governance, economic governance and management, corporate governance and socio-economic development. Ethiopia is one of the member states in APRM and it has produced its Country Self Assessment Report (CSAR) and National Program of Action (NPoA). The mechanism has acknowledged the critical role of all stakeholders including civil society and private sector in the review process. The major purpose of this study was to investigate the role and engagement of civil society in Ethiopia's first cycle APRM process. The study employed a mixture of qualitative and quantitative approaches by means of a triangulation technique in integrating information gathered through questionnaire, interview and document review. Samples were drawn from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) on the basis of purposive sampling technique in order to gather data through questionnaire. In addition, other organizations from members of National Governing Council and informant individuals were approached through interview. The literature review conducted for the purpose of this study has underlined the importance of meaningful participation of civil society in major activities and stages of APRM to make the review process credible and fruitful. The finding of the study shows that the role and engagement of civil society in Ethiopia's first cycle APRM were at minimal level and unsatisfactory. Similarly, the definition and scope of civil society in APRM was narrow. Under conclusion part, the paper indicates that the insignificant engagement of CSOs in APRM would undermine their participation and commitment during actual implementation of NPoA. Thus government should create conducive environment for effective participation of all categories of civil society in governance issues. This would again require engendering vibrant civil society and open political space for civic engagement

We prove an explicit formula for the probability $p(m,n)$ that the first player wins. When $m\sim Nx_{0}$, $n\sim N y_{0}$, we prove the fluid limit as $N\to \infty$. When $x_{0}=y_{0}$, then $z\to p(N,N+z\sqrt{N})$ converges to the standard normal CDF and the difference in fortunes scales diffusively. The exact limit of the time of ruin $τ_{N}$ is established as $(T-τ_N) \sim N^{-β}W^{\frac{1}β}$, $β=\frac{1}{4}$, $T=x_{0}+y_{0}$. Modulo a constant, $W \sim χ^{2}_{1}(z_{0}^{2}/T^{2})$.

The Effect Of Relationship Marketing On Customer Loyalty: The Case Of Selected Commercial Banks In Ethiopia
Creators: name: Bizuwork, Meskerem
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of relationship marketing on customer loyalty in commercial banks in Ethiopia. Five dimensions of relationship marketing namely Trust, Commitment, Communication, Empathy and Conflict Handling were considered as predictor factors for the analysis of this study. A structured questionnaire with five point Likert scale was used to collect the data. A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed to customers of 8 big city branches of CBE, Awash Bank, Dashen Bank and Abay banks, based on convenience sampling method and 387(97%) were returned for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to give general observation of the data and existing relationship marketing practice of the banks. To investigate the relationship and effects of the variables Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis is done. Result of the study showed that 48.9% of customer loyalty was found to be explained by relationship marketing factors. Commitment, Trust and Conflict handling were found to be the major and significant contributing factors on customer loyalty while contributions of Communication and Empathy are found to be statistically insignificant. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the banks management to focus on the statistically significant factors in order to make customers more loyal. In addition, the study recommends the banks to focus on some relationship marketing factors such as empathy since such factors exhibited lesser mean value in the study.

description: Correlations between stellar chemistry and kinematics have long been used to gain insight into the evolution of the Milky Way Galaxy. Orbital angular momentum is a key physical parameter and it is often estimated from three-dimensional space motions. We here demonstrate the lower uncertainties that can be achieved in the estimation of one component of velocity through selection of stars in key directions and use of line-of-sight velocity alone (i.e. without incorporation of proper motion data). In this first paper we apply our technique to stars observed in the direction of Galactic rotation in the APOGEE survey. We first derive the distribution of azimuthal velocities, $v_ϕ$, then from these and observed radial coordinates, estimate the stellar guiding centre radii, $R_g$, within $6.9\leq R \leq 10$ kpc with uncertainties smaller than (or of the order of) 1kpc. We show that there is no simple way to select a clean stellar sample based on low errors on proper motions and distances to obtain high-quality 3D velocities and hence one should pay particular attention when trying to identify kinematically peculiar stars based on velocities derived using the proper motions. Using our azimuthal velocity estimations, we investigate the joint distribution of elemental abundances and rotational kinematics free from the blurring effects of epicyclic motions, and we derive the $\partial v_ϕ/ \partial R_g$ trends for the thin and thick discs as a function of radius. Our analysis provides further evidence for radial migration within the thin disc and hints against radial migration playing a significant role in the evolution of the thick disc.

Assessment of the implementation of Employees' Performance management system practices (City branches of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Under West Addis Ababa District)
Creators: name: Berhanu, Selenat
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: This research is conducted to assess the implementation of employees' performance management system in CBE. The research has gone through the assessment of the practice of performance planning and agreement, provision of ongoing feedback, performance evaluation and performance review process of CBE. Primary data were collected through questionnaire (close ended and open ended). Respondents randomly selected form the total population of 1640 employees, 312 questionnaires were properly filled and returned. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean, standard deviation, percentile and one sample independent t-test. Even if the objective/targets are SMART, some of them are the unattainable; especially deposit and FCY mobilizations, data tracking system and documentation of PMS data are the main shortage of the system. The feedback provision practice is not adequate and the office layout of some branches is not convenient. The other problem is that there is no guideline to manage PMS when there is a change of assignment within the same rating period. Based on the finding, the researcher recommended that the bank should allocate an achievable target by considering the environment and potentials of branches, in order to get the accurate performance data of employees, the data tracking system should be automated, develop a clear guideline how to manage the transferred employees from one assignment to another in a single rating period. Key words: Data tracking, Feedback, Performance evaluation, Performance management system, performance review, target/objectives.

description: We describe a weak lensing view of the downsizing of star forming galaxies based on cross correlating a weak lensing ($κ$) map with a predicted map constructed from a redshift survey. Moderately deep and high resolution images with Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam covering the 4 deg^2 DLS F2 field provide a $κ$ map with 1 arcmin resolution. A dense complete redshift survey of the F2 field including 12,705 galaxies with $R\leq20.6$ is the basis for construction of the predicted map. The zero-lag cross-correlation between the κand predicted maps is significant at the $30σ$ level. The width of the cross-correlation peak is comparable with the angular scale of rich cluster at $z\sim0.3$, the median depth of the redshift survey. Slices of the predicted map in $δ{z} = 0.05$ redshift bins enable exploration of the impact of structure as a function of redshift. The zero-lag normalised cross-correlation has significant local maxima at redshifts coinciding with known massive X-ray clusters. Even in slices where there are no known massive clusters, there is significant signal in the cross-correlation originating from lower mass groups that trace the large-scale of the universe. Spectroscopic $D_n4000$ measurements enable division of the sample into star-forming and quiescent populations. The significance of the cross-correlation with structure containing star-forming galaxies increases with redshift from $5σ$ at $z = 0.3$ to $7 σ$ at $z = 0.5$. The weak lensing results are consistent with the downsizing view of galaxy evolution established on the basis of many other independent studies.
