title: Sexual Pleasure Matters: Defining, Operationalizing, and Promoting Sexual Pleasure
Creators: name: Borgmann, Michèle
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 150 Psychology
subject: 610 Medicine & health

description: The topic of sexual pleasure has recently gained attention and recognition as an essential aspect of sexual health. However, despite an increase in research on the subject, a lack of consensus remains on how to define, measure, and promote sexual pleasure. 
This dissertation aims to address this gap in research by defining and investigating this complex aspect of human experience and its multifaceted nature. To achieve this goal, three research questions were addressed from a comprehensive and holistic approach. This included a thorough literature review, the development of a clear and precise definition, and a test of the validity of the construct through empirical research using both observational and experimental methods.
The first research question examines the conceptualization and definition of sexual pleasure, which is approached by developing an adapted sexual response framework that includes sexual pleasure as a central component and identifies various facets of state and trait sexual pleasure.
The second research question focuses on the operationalization and measurement of sexual pleasure. To address this, a self-report questionnaire called the Amsterdam Sexual Pleasure Inventory (ASPI) is developed to measure the various facets of sexual pleasure. The validity of the ASPI was established through an extensive psychometric evaluation, which demonstrated good properties.
The third research question addresses the promotion of sexual pleasure through testing an unguided 4-week online intervention for women. The results indicate that the intervention was effective in promoting one specific facet of sexual pleasure. Therefore, the construct used to measure sexual pleasure in the study seems to be sensitive to change, suggesting its potential utility in applied research in this field. 
The research results are analyzed and discussed in depth, emphasizing potential avenues for future research and offering practical implications for their application. The limitations and strengths of the dissertation are acknowledged, providing a comprehensive understanding of the research’s overall contributions.

description: We demonstrate that interactions can substantially undermine the free-particle description of magnons in ferromagnets on geometrically frustrated lattices. The anharmonic coupling, facilitated by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, and a highly-degenerate two-magnon continuum yield a strong, non-perturbative damping of the high-energy magnon modes. We provide a detailed account of the effect for the $S=1/2$ ferromagnet on the kagomé lattice and propose further experiments.

description: We analyze the peculiar case where the free carrier absorption arising from LO phonon absorption-assisted transitions becomes negative and therefore turns into a gain source for quantum cascade lasers. Such an additional source of gain exists when the ratio between the electronic and the lattice temperatures is larger than one, a condition that is usually fulfilled in quantum cascade lasers. We find a gain of few cm$^{-1}$'s at 200K. We report the development of a terahertz quantum cascade laser operating in the negative free carrier absorption regime.

Creators: name: Biruk, Matebe
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The objective of this study was to assess the practices, challenges and achievements of labor inspection with respect to the manufacturing and construction sectors in Bole sub-city, Addis Ababa City Administration. To achieve this objective , a descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in Bole sub-city, Addis Ababa City Administration. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative approach of data collection and analysis.Structured questionnaires and key informant interview guide were administered in data collection. 220(Two hundred twenty) employees of the manufacturing and construction sectors were sampled using multi-stage sampling technique. Whereas, non- random technique were used for selecting 7 key interviewees. Secondary data from annual report, performance reports, and different legislations were also used. Analysis was done using SPSS version 24.The findings characterize the working condition in medium level enterprises of manufacturing and construction sectors in Bole sub-city as poor which is evident from unequal payment for the same kind of job,denial of annual leave , higher rate of occupational accident or disease,a shortage of safety equipment,untrained employees on the issue of occupational safety and accident , inability to unionize .And this poor working condition is the reflection of the sub-city's labor inspectorate which has not been equipped with sufficient, skilled and competent labor inspectors and which has been struggling with unmatched responsibilities and logistics to conduct labor inspection. On job training, well organized inspectorate ,emphasis on prevention, risk based inspection,, inspection based on wider participation and delegating inspection are the recommendations of this study.

In the derivation of the expected phase shifts we include the properties of the involved atomic levels. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of the scattering cross section and its relation to the efficiency for coupling the focused light to an atom. The phase shifts found in the experiment are compatible with the expected ones when accounting for known deficiencies of the focusing optics and the motion of the trapped ion at the Doppler limit of laser cooling.

description: We present experiments on RBCs that flow through microcapillaries under physiological conditions. We show that the RBC clusters form as a subtle imbrication between hydrodynamics interaction and adhesion forces because of plasma proteins. Clusters form along the capillaries and macromolecule-induced adhesion contribute to their stability. However, at high yet physiological flow velocities, shear stresses overcome part of the adhesion forces, and cluster stabilization due to hydrodynamics becomes stronger. For the case of pure hydrodynamic interaction, cell-to-cell distances have a pronounced bimodal distribution. Our 2D-numerical simulations on vesicles captures the transition between adhesive and non-adhesive clusters at different flow velocities.

Creators: name: G/Meskel, Genet
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this study was to examine factors affecting real estate customer's choice of residential houses; evidence from some selected real estate companies in Ethiopia. The researcher has studied the effect of price (price sensitivity and price information), quality (number of rooms, provision of sustainable infrastructure and quality of material) and location (nearness to a city, exposed to noise, and accessibility to public facilities) on customer choice of a house. In order to collect the data, survey questionnaire was distributed to 247 dwellers who have actually bought and currently living in the houses of either of the three real estates; Ayat, Flintstone and Noah. The researcher has found that customers mainly considered price sensitivity, provision of infrastructure, quality of material, exposed to noise, and accessibility to public facilities as a major factor on their house choice. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive data analysis method. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended the management team of the three real estate companies to give special attention only for those variables that have major impact on customer choice. The result of the data analysis contributes to the body of knowledge in the area by demonstrating that how user perceptions about the variables (price, quality, and location) have affected their final decision. Although the study has its own limitations, the implications of the results allow providing practical recommendations to the real estate industry, and directions for further work.

Méthode qualitative

description: Contexte et objectif. L’expérience patient, composante majeure de la qualité des soins, est riche et valorisable, d’autant plus quand elle est recueillie par des méthodes participatives telle qu’Amppati (Amélioration du parcours vécu par le patient et son entourage en immersion), issue du « shadowing ». Les retours qualitatifs permettent de mieux comprendre le vécu d’un parcours et de lui donner du sens. L’objectif ici était d’adapter cette méthode à un nouveau secteur, celui du handicap, et à un parcours particulier, la consultation de soins courants. Méthode. Les six étapes de la méthode ont été appliquées, avec un accompagnement méthodologique et pratique permettant la réalisation de suivis d’usagers par des suiveurs extérieurs aux professionnels de la consultation. Un suivi Amppati « à blanc », sans patient, a d’abord été réalisé pour s’assurer de la faisabilité de la méthode, et acculturer les suiveurs au parcours et aux profils des personnes porteuses de handicap. Résultats. Huit suivis ont été réalisés, répartis entre des consultations de bilan somatique et buccodentaire. Une dizaine d’actions d’amélioration ont été identifiées dans trois domaines : l’organisation, le matériel et l’information des patients. Conclusion. Ce contexte a confirmé l’intérêt d’Amppati pour impliquer les usagers dans l’amélioration de la qualité des soins en proposant des actions d’amélioration de leur parcours. Il sera cependant nécessaire de multiplier les expérimentations dans le secteur du handicap pour valider et étendre son adaptation. Cette méthode semble également opportune pour répondre à l’objectif d’évaluer l’efficacité d’une nouvelle prise en charge, en particulier avec un public dyscommunicant.

description: Cosmic acceleration may be due to modifications of cosmic gravity and to test this we need robust connections between theory and observations. However, in a model independent approach like effective field theory or a broad class like Horndeski gravity, several free functions of time enter the theory. We show that simple parametrizations of these functions are unlikely to be successful; in particular the approximation $α_i(t)\proptoΩ_{\rm de}(t)$ drastically misestimates the observables. This holds even in simple modified gravity theories like $f(R)$. Indeed, oversimplified approximations to the property functions $α_i(t)$ can even miss the signature of modified gravity. We also consider the question of consistency relations and the role of tensor (gravitational wave) perturbations.

The Impact of Organizational Climate on Job Satisfaction of Academic Staff: The Case of Selected Private Universities in Addis Ababa City
Creators: name: Abubeker, Rahmet
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: The success, functioning and sustainability of any higher education institution are greatly influenced by the extent to which the careers of academic staff are successfully managed along all the demands and changes. As past researchers confirmed, more than any other type of organization, higher education institutions are dependent on the intellectual capital and commitment of their staff. That means, in order to be benefited from the production of Higher Learning Institutions, the existence of satisfied academic staff should be in place. In other words, it is the satisfied employee who can be more committed for the achievement of end results of organizations than the unsatisfied one. The objective of the study is to examine the impact of organizational climate on job satisfaction of academic staff the case of private universities found in Addis Ababa city. The study identifies seven dimensions of organizational climate (leadership and management, participation in decision making, pay and benefit, over all human relation, working condition, employee wellness ad corporate image) and investigates their influence on job satisfaction. To do so, the study has employed a cross-sectional study design with an explanatory and descriptive design in interpretation of the data collected through self-administered questionnaire. Accordingly, three private universities have been taken as the study sample through stratified sampling method. A randomly selected 240 instructors were participated in the study whose academic rank ranges from professor to graduate assistant. The analysis is made by making use of descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, multiple regression model and ANOVA. It was found out that the academic staffs have positive perception about their organizational climate but they have neutral feeling to their job. All selected organizational climate factors has positive relationship with job satisfaction. Among them participation in decision making, pay and benefit, human relation, employee wellness, leadership and management and corporate image are significant predictor of job satisfaction. Working condition was found out to be insignificant in explaining the variation in the level of job satisfaction. This implies that when the above factors are fulfilled working condition is a least wanted facility. In addition, it was revealed that the perception of organizational climate and level of job satisfaction does not significantly vary with different experience and job level of the staff. With the revealed findings, it was recommended to the universities to improve leadership and management and pay and benefit practices and to give more focus to other factors than working condition. Key words: Academic Staffs, Organizational climate dimensions, Job Satisfaction, Private Universities.

description: The Jacobian of a graph is a discrete analogue of the Jacobian of a Riemann surface. In this paper, we explore how Jacobians of graphs change when we glue two graphs along a common subgraph focusing on the case of cycle graphs. Then, we link the computation of Jacobians of graphs with cycle matrices. Finally, we prove that Tutte's rotor construction with his original example produces two graphs with isomorphic Jacobians when all involved graphs are planar. This answers the question posed by Clancy, Leake, and Payne, stating it is affirmative in this case.

description: We present a study of the strong isospin-breaking (IB) effect, due in QCD to the difference between $u$- and $d$-quark masses, in the leptonic decay constants of charmed and beauty pseudoscalar and vector mesons using the method of QCD sum rules. We apply the sum-rule analysis to the decay constants of mesons containing one heavy quark and one light quark with the light mass in the range from the average $u/d$ quark mass to the strange-quark mass. We then analyse the dependence of the decay constants on the light quark mass and extract with good accuracy the IB ratios of decay constants at leading order in the mass difference $(m_d - m_u)$, obtaining: $(f_{D^+} - f_{D^0}) / f_{D} = 0.0047 (6)$, $(f_{D^{*+}} - f_{D^{*0}}) / f_{D^*} = 0.0068 (9)$, $(f_{B^0} - f_{B^+}) / f_{B} = 0.0047 (6)$, and $(f_{B^{*0}} - f_{B^{*+}}) / f_{B^*} = 0.0045 (5)$, which yield: $f_{D^+} - f_{D^0} = 0.97 \pm 0.13$ MeV, $f_{D^{*+}} - f_{D^{*0}} = 1.73 \pm 0.27$ MeV, $f_{B^0} - f_{B^+} = 0.90 \pm 0.13$ MeV, $f_{B^{*0}} - f_{B^{*+}} = 0.81 \pm 0.11$ MeV. In the case of the $D$-meson our finding is consistent with recent lattice QCD results, whereas it is much lower in the case of the $B$-meson showing a tension of $\approx 3$ standard deviations.

Urban Expansion and the Neighbourhoods: the Case of Bishoftu Town, East Shewa Zone, Oromia Regional
Creators: name: Kedir, Adem
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: In this contemporary world, urban expansion is a common phenomenon in both developed and developing countries. In developed countries, it is associated with economic advancement and urban centres are seen as engine of growth enhancing rural development by creating market for agricultural products and providing agricultural inputs for more productivity. However, in developing countries both the causes and consequences of urban expansion are mixed involving both positive and negative aspects. Ethiopia, being one of the developing countries, is not exceptional to the urban expansion phenomena occurred in other developing countries. The major factors contributing for rapid urban expansion in Ethiopia are higher natural population growth, rural to urban migration and spatial urban development. Bishoftu Town is one of the most expanding Towns in the country. It has geographic coverage of 3280 hectares in 1984; it grew to 4520 hectares in 2005 and currently it occupies 9511 hectares of spatial coverage. This study aimed at examining the expansion of Bishoftu Town and overall consequences on neighbouring farmers, particularly on displaced farmers. This study has employed case study method backed by tools such as open-ended interview guided questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions. There were 1480 displaced farmers since 2005 from which the sample size of 148 (10 percent) was taken. Since the dislocated farming community are sparsely populated, the researcher has employed snow-ball sampling technique for its ability to address the respondents by creating network. The result of the study indicated that urban expansion program around Bishoftu was not participatory, people were not given awareness, and the dislocated households did not have opportunity to bargain in the determination of the amount and kinds of compensation and calculating the value of assets. The compensation package provided so far did not capacitate the dislocated farming community around the Town. The study reveals that, the community were not given technical training and other advisory services and as a result consuming the money paid the farmers are falling into poverty. Urban expansion, displacement and compensation program that may be proposed in the future needs to adequately aware and involve the community and compensation should be revised both in kind and amount involving skill development and other training and follow up after dislocation

description: The observation of heavy-ion-like behaviour in pp collisions at the LHC suggests that more physics mechanisms are at play than traditionally assumed. The introduction e.g. of quark-gluon plasma or colour rope formation can describe several of the observations, but as of yet there is no established paradigm. In this article we study a few possible modifications to the Pythia event generator, which describes a wealth of data but fails for a number of recent observations. Firstly, we present a new model for generating the transverse momentum of hadrons during the string fragmentation process, inspired by thermodynamics, where heavier hadrons naturally are suppressed in rate but obtain a higher average transverse momentum. Secondly, close-packing of strings is taken into account by making the temperature or string tension environment-dependent. Thirdly, a simple model for hadron rescattering is added. The effect of these modifications is studied, individually and taken together, and compared with data mainly from the LHC. While some improvements can be noted, it turns out to be nontrivial to obtain effects as big as required, and further work is called for.

description: This research paper studies the role of beer advertising on purchase intention; In the case of ledeta and kolfe keranyo sub city in Addis Ababa. In this research the researcher used quantitative approaches, to collect primary data through questionnaire. The study uses survey research to collect the questionnaire and convincing the beer consumer. The study was limited to the beer's consumers in two Addis Ababa sub city (Kole keranyo and Ledeta) and the sample consumers were selected based on purposive sampling technique. Thus, out of the total of sample size of 384, 68% which is 262 consumers or responds were from Kolfe Keraniyo sub city and the other 32% which is 123 respondents were from Lideta Sub City. According to the research findings, the beer advertising message and the media factors have significant role on consumer purchase intention. Further, the role of advertising on consumer purchase intention, majority of the respondent agreed on likeability of media, plan to use in the near future. Message gives Knowledge and the source is attractive and creates awareness while the source roles is insignificant in the study. The research findings also reveal that there is a positive and strong relationship between the two variables. However, the relationship between media factor stronger than the Message factor. Based on the research findings, the researcher suggests that due attention should be given on the convincing and believability of messages and measuring advertising efforts against the advertising objectives is important not only to evaluate the effectiveness but also to design the appropriate advertising strategy that meets the desired changes of consumer purchase intention.

description: We develop a compactness theory for super Ricci flows, which lays the foundations for the partial regularity theory in [Bam20b]. Our results imply that any sequence of super Ricci flows of the same dimension that is pointed in an appropriate sense subsequentially converges to a certain type of synthetic flow, called a metric flow. We will study the geometric and analytic properties of this limiting flow, as well as the convergence in detail. We will also see that, under appropriate local curvature bounds, a limit of Ricci flows can be decomposed into a regular and singular part. The regular part can be endowed with a canonical structure of a Ricci flow spacetime and we have smooth convergence on a certain subset of the regular part.

description: Customer satisfaction is the evaluation of the perceived discrepancy between prior expectations and the actual performance of the product or services of particular organization. It becomes an increasingly important factor for organizational survival in the current dynamic environment. It is highly sensitive to different environmental and organizational factors. This study seeks to examine the impact of organizational culture on customer satisfaction in the public health sector of Kersa Malima Woreda. Three health centers have been randomly selected among five existing health centers for the purpose of this study. The primary data was collected from customers and employees of the selected health centers through the distributions of semi-structured questionnaire as data gathering tools for sample population of the selected health centers. Non-participant observation was also employed as data gathering tool to supplement questionnaire. Both questionnaire and observation targeted around the service quality and organizational culture dimensions. The total sample size was 151 out of which 136 questionnaires were completed and included in the analysis part. The responses of respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics and narrated. SPSS software was used in analyzing the collected data. The results of analysis showed mixed responses. The correlation coefficients show that all independent variable were found to be positively correlated with customer satisfaction though there is a discrepancy in their strength. Moreover, multiple regression analysis was used to determine the impact of all independent variables on dependent variable, customer satisfaction. And accordingly, customer satisfaction is found to be primarily predicted by higher level of reliability, tangibility, team orientation, responsiveness, customer orientation and stability of organization. Mean while, the employee satisfaction is mostly predicted by higher level of stability, out come orientation and innovation and risk taking. Generally, it was found that when 67 % of observed variability in customer satisfaction can be explained by independent variables included in the study, 58 % of observed variability in employee satisfaction is found to be explained by change in independent variables included in the study organization

description: Under certain hypothesis of smallness of the regular potential $\mathbf{V}$, we prove that the Dirac operator in $\mathbb{R}^3$ coupled with a suitable re-scaling of $\mathbf{V}$ converges in the strong resolvent sense to the Hamiltonian coupled with a $δ$-shell potential supported on $Σ$, a bounded $C^2$ surface. Nevertheless, the coupling constant depends non-linearly on the potential $\mathbf{V}$: the Klein's Paradox comes into play.

description: We consider a simple extension of the Standard Model with a scalar top-philic Dark Matter (DM) $S$ coupling, apart from the Higgs portal, exclusively to the right-handed top quark $t_R$ and a colored vector-like top partner $T$ with a Yukawa coupling $y_{ST}$ which we call the topVL portal. When the Higgs portal is closed and $y_{ST}$ is perturbative $ (\lesssim 1)$, $TS\to (W^+b, gt)$, $SS\to t\bar{t}$ and $T\bar{T}\to (q\bar{q},gg)$ provide the dominant (co)annihilation contributions to obtain $Ω_{\rm DM} h^2\simeq 0.12$ in light, medium and heavy DM mass range, respectively. However, large $y_{ST}\sim\mathcal{O}(10)$ can make $SS\to gg$ dominate via the loop-induced coupling $C_{SSgg}$ in the $m_S

description: We report 13 high-precision light curves of eight transits of the exoplanet WASP-52b, obtained by using four medium-class telescopes, through different filters, and adopting the defocussing technique. One transit was recorded simultaneously from two different observatories and another one from the same site but with two different instruments, including a multi-band camera. Anomalies were clearly detected in five light curves and modelled as starspots occulted by the planet during the transit events. We fitted the clean light curves with the jktebop code, and those with the anomalies with the prism+gemc codes in order to simultaneously model the photometric parameters of the transits and the position, size and contrast of each starspot. We used these new light curves and some from the literature to revise the physical properties of the WASP-52 system. Starspots with similar characteristics were detected in four transits over a period of 43 days. In the hypothesis that we are dealing with the same starspot, periodically occulted by the transiting planet, we estimated the projected orbital obliquity of WASP-52b to be lambda = 3.8 \pm 8.4 degree. We also determined the true orbital obliquity, psi = 20 \pm 50 degree, which is, although very uncertain, the first measurement of psi purely from starspot crossings. We finally assembled an optical transmission spectrum of the planet and searched for variations of its radius as a function of wavelength. Our analysis suggests a flat transmission spectrum within the experimental uncertainties.

Admissibility and Exact Observability of Observation Operators for Micro-Beam Model: Time and Frequency Domain Approaches

description: This study focuses on the exact observability of a non-classical Euler-Bernoulli micro-beam equation. This non-classical model was derived based on the strain gradient elasticity theory, which is intended to explain the phenomenon of size effect at the micron scale. Spectral properties of the corresponding state operator are studied; an asymptotic expression for eigenvalues is calculated, and eigenfunctions are analyzed in order to check the necessary conditions for the exact observability of the system. By examining the eigenfunctions, it is shown that among non-collocated boundary outputs, only measurement of the non-classical moment at the root of the beam yields an admissible observation operator and also defines an exactly observable system. An alternative proof based on the multiplier method, which is commonly employed in the literature on the observability and controllability of infinite dimensional dynamical systems, is presented to provide a comparison between the time and frequency domain approaches.
