description: Infrared (IR) excesses around K-type red giants (RGs) have previously been discovered using IRAS data, and past studies have suggested a link between RGs with overabundant Li and IR excesses, implying the ejection of circumstellar shells or disks. We revisit the question of IR excesses around RGs using higher spatial resolution IR data, primarily from WISE. Our goal was to elucidate the link between three unusual RG properties: fast rotation, enriched Li, and IR excess. We have 316 targets thought to be K giants, about 40% of which we take to be Li-rich. In 24 cases with previous detections of IR excess at low spatial resolution, we believe that source confusion is playing a role, in that either (a) the source that is bright in the optical is not responsible for the IR flux, or (b) there is more than one source responsible for the IR flux as measured in IRAS. We looked for IR excesses in the remaining sources, identifying 28 that have significant IR excesses by ~20 um (with possible excesses for 2 additional sources). There appears to be an intriguing correlation in that the largest IR excesses are all in Li-rich K giants, though very few Li-rich K giants have IR excesses (large or small). These largest IR excesses also tend to be found in the fastest rotators. There is no correlation of IR excess with the carbon isotopic ratio, 12C/13C. IR excesses by 20 um, though relatively rare, are at least twice as common among our sample of Li-rich K giants. If dust shell production is a common by-product of Li enrichment mechanisms, these observations suggest that the IR excess stage is very short-lived, which is supported by theoretical calculations. Conversely, the Li-enrichment mechanism may only occasionally produce dust, and an additional parameter (e.g., rotation) may control whether or not a shell is ejected.

description: The proliferation of armed opposition groups poses a serious challenge to the protection of basic human rights of civilians. Since these groups generally operate in the context of weak state structures where domestic law enforcement is lacking, it warrants consideration whether they can be held accountable under international law. It is controversial whether the relevant regimes of international humanitarian law and the law of human rights impose obligations on armed opposition groups directly, given the fact that they cannot become party to treaties and do not play a role in the formation of customary international law. While it is commonly agreed, however, that these groups are at least bound by international humanitarian law, practice shows that they generally fail to comply with their obligations and are rarely held accountable for violations. The existing international legal framework therefore does not effectively allow for direct accountability of armed opposition groups for human rights abuses. The protection of basic humanitarian standards in non-international armed conflicts requires further clarification of the status, obligations and rights of these groups and the development of international monitoring and enforcement mechanisms. Above all, it is time to create incentives for armed opposition groups to comply with their obligations and to actively engage these groups.
The Legal Regime Governing Criminal Trials in Absentia under Ethiopian Law
Creators: name: Seid, Mohammed
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Despite countervailing arguments as to trial in absentia, nations recognize it on exceptional grounds. The ICCPR under Article 14(5) unequivocally recognizes the right to presence of an accused before a trial. In civil law legal systems, trial in absentia takes place as an ordinary procedure, so long as the accused is informed and fails to appear. Whereas, the common law countries outlawed trial in absentia as a principle due to the fear that it endangers the right to fair trial. Overall, trial in absentia may be held exceptionally upon the fulfillment of justified grounds. This study explores the regulation of trial in absentia under the Ethiopian criminal law and controversies therein. To this end, the study employed a doctrinal legal research methodology. The study argues that although the criminal procedure code recognizes trial in absentia under article 160 and the following, the requirements are controversial in its practical application. Furthermore, the procedures to deliver summon for the accused are also vague. Moreover, in contrast to international jurisprudence, the Ethiopian law kept silent as to disruptive behavior of an accused and the effect of partial presence. Finally, the study explores that though the accused has the right to lodge an application to set aside a default judgment, the decision on the application is final and non-appealable. This may potentially undermine the accused's right to a retrial. In sum, the criminal procedure code controversially governs trial in absentia, and consequently may jeopardize the right to fair trial.

Multi-Factor Dynamic Modelling and Forecasting of Interest Rates and Equity Markets
Creators: name: Tunaru, Elena
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: In this thesis, several theoretical specifications and estimation techniques are employed towards the dynamic modelling and forecasting of the term structure of interest rates, both independently and in conjunction with equity markets. The first empirical investigation is motivated by the recent call for richer specifications following the global financial crisis of 2007-2009. In that regard, several existing multi-factor continuous-time models are extended to four and five factors to assess the benefit of richer models. The Gaussian estimation methods for dynamic Continuous-Time models yield insightful comparative results concerning the two different segments of the yield curve. The dynamics of the more volatile short-end of the yield curve are best explained by the most flexible models which consistently outperform all the other less complex models in terms of both in-sample and out-of-sample performance. For the long-end flatter segment, the benchmark discrete-time parsimonious models seem hard to beat, while the addition of extra factors has a minimal benefit in terms of forecasting performance. In a second empirical study, the term structures of three Scandinavian countries are modelled using multi-latent-factor models. The empirical results produced by Kalman filter estimation method indicate that the three-factor specification captures most of the changes over time in the shape of the yield curve for Denmark and Norway, while for Sweden the statistical tests do not reject the two-factor model against the three-factor formulation. Finally, the third investigation brings new empirical evidence of the impact of the 2007-2009 financial crisis on the return and volatility linkages between the U.S. - the country where the shock originated and other major economies using a multivariate methodology for the simultaneous modelling of interest rates and equity markets. During the global financial crisis of 2007-2009 the financial markets around the world have communicated through a more complex network of information transmission routes. The channels with most intensity of information transmission were the indirect international ones, bringing new evidence of the importance of this type of routes that has previously been investigated very little in the spillovers literature

description: Objective: The objectives of the present study including identifying complex health issues maternal and child health (MCH) providers encounter in practice, key influencing factors, ways MCH providers believe they can use their scope of practice to address these key factors, summarizing strategies that can be used for messaging to recruit maternal and child health providers in building a culture of health through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars program.Methods: This study was a quality improvement project. It included 30-60 minute in- depth interviews with past and current maternal and child health providers. The interviews took place via phone or in person. The project had a total of 7 participants.Results: Results indicate that mental illness and comorbidities are complex health issues encountered in populations served by our provider sample. Influencing factors included access, policy, and stigma. Ways in which MCH providers believe they can mitigate these challenges are through integrated healthcare and engaging family systems. Finally, addressing time commitment for the RWJF Clinical Scholars program would assist in recruitment efforts for MCH providers.Conclusions: In conclusion, based upon literature and the current project, addressing both upstream and downstream social determinants of health is integral to comprehensively assist in mitigating the challenges associated with complex health issues. Additionally, developing strategies to address time commitment and elements of complex health issues may assist in recruitment of MCH providers for the RWJF Clinical Scholars program.

description: Design evaluation is an important step during software development to ensure users’ requirements are met. Crowd feedback represents an effective approach to tackling scalability issues of traditional design evaluation methods. Crowd-feedback systems are usually developed for a fixed use case and designers lack knowledge on how to build individual crowd-feedback systems by themselves. Consequently, they are rarely applied in practice. To address this challenge, we propose the design of a configuration system to support designers in creating individual crowd-feedback requests. By conducting expert interviews (N=14) and an exploratory literature review, we derive four design rationales for such configuration systems and propose a prototypical configuration system instantiation. We evaluate this instantiation in exploratory focus groups (N=10). The results show that feedback requesters appreciate guidance. However, there seems to be a trade-off between complexity and flexibility. With our research, we contribute with a generalizable concept to support feedback requesters to create individualized crowd-feedback requests to support scalable design evaluation for everyone.

description: Recent quantum mechanical calculations of rate coefficients for collisional transfer of population between the hyperfine states of 13CN enable their population densities to be determined. We have computed the relative populations of the hyperfine states of the N = 0, 1, 2 rotational states for kinetic temperatures 5 $\le$ T $\le$ 20 K and molecular hydrogen densities 1 $\le$ n(H2) $\le$10 10 cm --3. Spontaneous and induced radiative transitions were taken into account. Our calculations show that, if the lines are optically thin, the populations of the hyperfine states, F, within a given rotational manifold are proportional to their statistical weights, (2F + 1) -- i.e. in local thermodynamic equilibrium -- over the entire range of densities. We have re-analysed IRAM 30 m telescope observations of 13CN hyperfine transitions (N = 1 $\rightarrow$ 0) in four starless cores. A comparison of these observations with our calculations confirms that the hyperfine states are statistically populated in these sources.

Introducing Third-Party Litigation Funding in Ethiopia

Year: 2022

description: In our day-to-day experience, it is common to observe persons encountering challenges to exercise their right to access justice due to costly litigation. The litigation expenses that include the advocate’s fee, court fee, and witnesses’ expense are so onerous to some litigants that they resist to start litigation. To mitigate this problem, countries introduced an innovative litigation-funding scheme known as third-party litigation funding or alternative litigation funding (ALF). It is a business system that an investor, not a party to the litigation, funds the costs of litigation of a litigant upon the agreement to receive some portions from the recovery. ALF eases litigants to fund their litigation and thereby ensure their right to access to justice. In Ethiopia, there is no legally recognized scheme of ALF. The aim of this article is, therefore, to examine whether Ethiopia should introduce ALF. In doing so, the author employs a doctrinal research approach. Particularly, the study analyzed commentaries and scholarly research reports as major source of insights on the subject. After examining the issue, the author concluded that the situation in Ethiopia especially the limitations in the legal aid program imperatively requires the introduction of ALF. Finally, this article indicates some regulatory concerns of ALF including disclosure of the agreement, privilege and confidentiality, and funder litigation control.

description: La RDC et le Rwanda ont connu des conflits meurtriers donnant lieu à une crise humanitaire affreuse. Le règlement des différends après le conflit pose des difficultés. Au niveau législatif, il y a peu d’engagement et de volonté politique. Cela entraîne des lacunes dans l’administration de la justice. Malgré les réformes législatives entreprises, les violations des droits humains continuent, les faiblesses du système de justice persistent et exacerbent l’insécurité juridique. Face aux facteurs empêchant un fonctionnement harmonieux du système judiciaire méritent une attention, les Etats doivent assumer leurs responsabilités, voire coopérer afin d’assurer la mise en oeuvre des droits humains. Notre étude portera sur la justice à l'épreuve de la protection effective des droits humains dans les pays post-conflit: RDCongo et Rwanda. Des questions simples suivantes permettront de réaliser la présente étude : Quels sont les problèmes qui affectent leurs systèmes de justice? Comment affrontent-ils ces problèmes ? Quid des mécanismes juridictionnels en place? Peut-on se satisfaire de l’état actuel de la protection des droits humains dans ces pays? Ce travail débouchera sur la sauvegarde du droit à la protection des droits humains de l’individu en tant que tel par le renforcement des mécanismes juridictionnels et le démarrage d’un organe spécial indépendant.
Comparison between the Ethiopian Model of Cassation Division Binding Legal Interpretation and the Chinese Model of Guiding Case
Creators: name: Andargie, Haile
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Both Ethiopia and China have introduced a system resembling a common law feature where the judiciary is involved in the development of case laws. This article is purported to compare and contrast the cassation model of Ethiopia and the Chinese guiding case system and to draw relevant lessons. Using doctrinal research methodology, the article examined relevant Ethiopian and Chinese laws, scholarly research findings and the literature in the field. After due analysis, the author concluded that China's guiding case system adopts a broad base of case selection systems involving the decision of lower courts whereas the Ethiopian system entirely depends on the Cassation division decision of the federal supreme court. In the Chinese system, both internal and external recommendation for a guiding case is allowed. The internal recommendation may come from various levels of courts besides the Supreme Court. Externally, the delegates of the lawmakers, experts, scholars, lawyers, and any other interested party could recommend a guiding case. Conversely, Ethiopia's system does not allow recommendations from other courts or an outsider stakeholder. Finally, China has detailed guidelines on the selection, recommendation, approval, and publication of a guiding case whereas Ethiopia's system lacks a comprehensive guideline. Therefore, this article argues that involving external recommenders, having an independent office and enacting detailed procedural directives are among the best practice that Ethiopia should learn from the Chinese guiding case system.

description: An estimated 300,000 children participate in hostilities around the globe at any given time. Despite a large volume of international instruments being in existence which prohibit the recruitment and use to participate (actively) of children in hostilities, there is no universal prohibition for all children below the age of eighteen years. Currently those responsible for conscripting or enlisting children below the age of fifteen are held criminally responsible before international tribunals. However, child soldiers may face prosecution before national and international tribunals as well. Although the ICC and the Special Court have excluded jurisdiction over children who were below the ages of eighteen and fifteen respectively at the time of the alleged commission of the crime, this does not prevent future tribunals from being set up with jurisdiction to prosecute children. This demand will even increase where societies wish to hold accountable all those who have committed egregious crimes, regardless of age. In addition, national courts may prosecute under their domestic law. There is no universal minimum age of criminal responsibility. Hence, a diverse practice is in existence. Child soldiers may be able to successfully raise defences such as, for instance, duress and intoxication before courts when charged with crimes.

description: This case pertains to dispute reagrading membership to Cooperative Societies for Housing and the consequence of change of residence on membership status. The applican was a member of Maranata Housing Cooperative Society in Shewa Robit town, North Shewa Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. She later moved to Addis Ababa following her spouse  who moved to Addis Ababa as a member of federal police force. Maranata Housing Cooperative Society dismissed the applicant from membership alleging change of residence. The first instance court ruled in favor of the applican but the subsequent courts of Amhara Region that entatined the case by way of appleal confirmed the dismissal. The Applican took the case to the Federal cassation Bench that reversed ruling of the higher courts and confirmed the decision of the first instance court. The cassation Bench reasoned that though the memerandum of association provided for dismisal from membership due to relocation, such a ground is not stated in the applicable law. As such, memerandum of associations that narrows down the rights of members are contrary to law and cannot be sustained in the eyes of the law.

description: This article provides a look at the planning process in Ontario from the point of view of a citizen. Ben Bennett is representing Residents for Sustainable Development in Guelph, which opposes two big-box proposals before the Ontario Municipal Board. As co-author of a new book on what has become a seven-year-long saga, Bennett shares his insights into the planning profession and the system from the perspective of a non-lawyer and nonplanner. The proposals, one anchored by Wal-Mart, the other by Zellers, were rejected by city council in the late spring of 1997. The date for the hearing was originally set for July 1998, but was repeatedly delayed. After five years of legal wrangling, court challenges and political intrigue, the hearing finally got under way in April of this year. It is scheduled to run for twenty weeks.

The Rights of Child Offenders in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Berhanu, Belayneh
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Children who committed a crime are entitled to special rights needed by their condition. These rights are contained in various international and regional standards including the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules on the administration of Juvenile Justice (Beijing Rules).  The same is true in the Ethiopian child justice system. The Criminal Procedure and Criminal Code have separate sections that are specific to children aged nine to fifteen. The purpose of this commentary is to analyze the decision of the Federal Supreme Court in the Case between Admasu Ageze vs ANRS prosecutor in light of these standards and the provisions of the Codes. The issues involved are the circumstances under which imprisonment can be imposed on a child; the legality of suspension of imprisonment; the problem with the issue framed by the Bench; the choice of the appropriate measure that could be imposed on the child; the right to court-appointed counsel; and the right to privacy.

description: Kinetic theory of Dirac fermions is studied within the matrix valued differential forms method. It is based on the symplectic form derived by employing the semiclassical wave packet build of the positive energy solutions of the Dirac equation. A satisfactory definition of the distribution matrix elements imposes to work in the basis where the helicity is diagonal which is also needed to attain the massless limit. We show that the kinematic Thomas precession correction can be studied straightforwardly within this approach. It contributes on an equal footing with the Berry gauge fields. In fact in equations of motion it eliminates the terms arising from the Berry gauge fields.

description: Second semester University: KU Leuven.
description: The European Union (EU) is increasingly aspiring not to be only a normative value-driven power but also a vital player in post-conflict reconstructions beyond its borders. Particularly within a context of Security Sector Reform (SSR) and Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR) of ex-combatants, the EU has adapted ambitious policies and developed into a significant player in this respective field. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which is often considered as the largest laboratory for the EU Crisis Management, frames our research playground and serves as a ‘lacmus paper’ of the EU’s SSR and DDR policy implementation. The following thesis adopts a three-steps analytical approach: (1) potential synergies and overlapping aims of SSR and DDR are analysed from a theoretical perspective; (2) policy analysis of the EU’s policy documents; and (3) subsequent policy utilisation on the Congolese soil. This thesis reveals that the EU’s SSR and DDR endeavours in building peace and security in the DRC are severely hindered and compromised by its organisations complexity in line with the ‘pre-Lisbon’ identity and by its inherited legacy of two un-linked security-oriented and developmentoriented policies, which lead through missing guidelines and effective division of labour to fragmentation of competences and their subsequent disjuncture when utilised on the ground.
Public Participation Provisions in Environmental Impact Assessment process in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Gezahegn, Melaku
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: The Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and relevant subsidiary laws grant people the right to full consultation and to the expression of views in the planning and implementation of environmental policies. However, the impact of these general principles on the desired outcome is limited, suggesting the need for formulation of further detailed rules. Particularly, an effective realization of such constitutional stipulations require detailed rules that clearly set out identification of legitimate stakeholders, mechanisms of information accessibility, information dissemination, grievances handling processes, timeline to review and make comments, incorporation of public comments into final Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) decisions. The objective of this article is to comparatively assess and explain the sufficiency and lacunas of the existing Public Participation Provisions (PPPs) of Ethiopia against countries having detailed rules required for the realization of effective public participation. To this end, a doctrinal research method is used to assess the content, principles and gaps in the existing legal documents. It is argued in the article that the existing environmental laws of Ethiopia are short of providing the required PPPs rules ranging from identification of stakeholders to grievance handling mechanisms. This in fact would render public participation to be a mere procedural requirement than creating an avenue for the public to influence environmental decision making processes. The assessments conducted thus uncover the dire need for the enactment of detailed PPPs and the possible ways to achieve this.

Luminosity--time and luminosity--luminosity correlations for GRB prompt and afterglow plateau emissions

description: We present an analysis of 123 Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with known redshifts possessing an afterglow plateau phase. We reveal that $L_a-T^{*}_a$ correlation between the X-ray luminosity $L_a$ at the end of the plateau phase and the plateau duration, $T^*_a$, in the GRB rest frame has a power law slope different, within more than 2 $σ$, from the slope of the prompt $L_{f}-T^{*}_{f}$ correlation between the isotropic pulse peak luminosity, $L_{f}$, and the pulse duration, $T^{*}_{f}$, from the time since the GRB ejection. Analogously, we show differences between the prompt and plateau phases in the energy-duration distributions with the afterglow emitted energy being on average $10\%$ of the prompt emission. Moreover, the distribution of prompt pulse versus afterglow spectral indexes do not show any correlation. In the further analysis we demonstrate that the $L_{peak}-L_a$ distribution, where $L_{peak}$ is the peak luminosity from the start of the burst, is characterized with a considerably higher Spearman correlation coefficient, $ρ=0.79$, than the one involving the averaged prompt luminosity, $L_{prompt}-L_a$, for the same GRB sample, yielding $ρ=0.60$. Since some of this correlation could result from the redshift dependences of the luminosities, namely from their cosmological evolution we use the Efron-Petrosian method to reveal the intrinsic nature of this correlation. We find that a substantial part of the correlation is intrinsic. We apply a partial correlation coefficient to the new de-evolved luminosities showing that the intrinsic correlation exists.

Women and HIV/Aids in Lesotho: Linking Social and Structural Drivers, Policy, and Human Rights
Creators: name: Zizzo, Sara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: The Kingdom of Lesotho has the third highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rate in the world currently estimated at 23.6%. Women in Lesotho are disproportionally infected with HIV, accounting for 56% of the national cases. Social and structural factors that create gender inequality and violence against women have been identified as key drivers of the epidemic. This paper examines social structural drivers of HIV/AIDS in Lesotho pertaining to women’s empowerment: gender inequality; GBV; and human rights violations. These drivers are explored through an examination of Lesotho’s laws, commitments to international protocols and declarations, and attitudes of Lesotho’s people (Basotho) toward sexual negotiation and GBV. In addition to creating an environment where women are more vulnerable to acquiring HIV infection, these factors have been identified as barriers to HIV testing in the region where women are often disclosing HIV test results to an untested partner, leaving them vulnerable to violence and abandonment. International HIV testing guidelines and national policies that implement routine testing and de-emphasize pre-test counseling may reinforce these social structural drivers and negatively affect the human rights of Basotho women. National HIV testing policies of Lesotho are analyzed through a human rights framework and linkages of these policies and social structural factors of the HIV/AIDS epidemic are explored.
