Analysis of Physico-chemical Characteristics of Water Collected from Different Sampling Sites of Lake Hawassa, Ethiopia

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The research aimed to evaluate the current water quality status of Lake Hawassa in order to identify potential pollution sources, and put in place monitoring programs. Eleven potential sampling sites were included in the study. Water quality parameters, such as total dissolved solid (TDS), pH, temperature, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), five day biological oxygen demand (BOD5), total hardness as CaCO3, total alkalinity as CaCO3, nitrate, sulphate, orthophosphate, fluoride, K, Mg, Cu, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn were determined and compared with WHO standards. The results were compared with the WHO and FAO standards. And the values of TDS (381.7 to 1286.0 mg/L), SC (733.7 to 2151.3 ÂµS/cm), turbidity (8.20 to 87.3 NTUs), BOD5 (4.02 to 76.2 mg/L), phosphate (0.348 to 1.90 mg/L), fluoride (11.6 to 17.5 mg/L), chromium (0.173 to 0.665 mg /L), manganese (0.133 to 1.83 mg/L), and copper (1.40 L to 18.2 mg/L) were found above the prescribed limit of WHO guidelines for drinking purposes, while all the analysed water quality parameters were fall within the FAO standard limit for irrigation purposes. These suggested that both point and non-point pollution sources such as human sewage, industrial waste from ceramics, textile, plastics and food processing industries, urban stormwater, agricultural runoff and land development were impacting the lake. Thus, mitigation measures should be put in place to prevent the Lake from further deterioration.
Coherent Energy Exchange in the Strong Coupling Limit of the Lossy Spin-Boson Model

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We focus on the lossy spin-boson model since it is capable of efficient energy exchange between two-level systems and an oscillator under conditions where the characteristic energy of the oscillator is small compared to the transition energy of the two-level systems. We are considering this model as the essential component for a theoretical understanding of the excess heat effect in the Fleischmann– Pons experiment. We introduce an iterative algorithm that allows the numerical calculation of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the coefficient eigenvalue equation that arises in the local approximation. From systematic calculations in the strong coupling limit we establish scaling laws for the self-energy and for the indirect coupling matrix element in the local approximation. These results are used to study the system dynamics for simple strong coupling models.
INVESTIGATION ON YIELD SURFACE EQUATION OF CURVED I-BEAMS

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

St. Venant torque term of the yield surface equation is often neglected in the plastic analysis of the beams with thin walled open-cross sections. However, after a plastic hinge occures, the hinged section will be free from the state of restrained warping, and so, St. Venant torque terms in the flow rule may play more important role. The yield surface equation of curved I-beam is proposed herein, which is expressed in terms of bending, warping moments and St. Venant torque. Several tests have been carried out with the curved I-beams to prove the availability of the proposed yield equation. The results show that the proposed equation is reasonable and suitable for the simple plastic analysis of the curved I-beams.
Identification of Respiratory Viral Infection in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients - Impact on Non Relapse Mortality

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Infection is the leading cause of non-relapse mortality (NRM) in allo-HSCT. A community respiratory virus infection (RVI) screening program was instituted at our center from 5/2010 in order to prevent nosocomial infection, assist in cohorting strategies and minimize RV during allo-HSCT. The impact of RVI screening on respiratory-related NRM was assessed. Consecutive allo-HSCT patients (pts) experiencing NRM between 1/00 – 1/14 were identified from a prospectively maintained database. NRM episodes were assessed pre- and post-RVI screening and an etiology assigned following medical record review and treating physician determination. RVI were identified in symptomatic pts from nasal/pharyngeal swabs or bronchoalveloar lavage specimens using PCR or immunofluorescence. 204 allo-HSCT were evaluated, 118 pre- and 86 post-RVI screening. For the entire cohort: male:female ratio was 1.4:1, median age 52 (17-71) years, median follow up 24.2 (2.4-154) months. Most common pre-HSCT diagnoses were myeloid malignancies (43%), NHL (22%) ALL (12%). 3 year DFS and OS was 50.7% and 59.6%. There were no significant differences between study cohorts. There was a significant difference between pre-RV and post-RV cohorts in conditioning intensity (MA 46% vs 19%, NMA 53% vs 81%, p<0.01), donor source (MS 71% vs 29%, MUD 0 vs 44%, p<0.01) and TBI-based conditioning (20% vs 51%, p<0.01) reflecting changes in departmental practice. Most common RVI's were rhinovirus (40%), RSV (30%), parainfluenza (20%) and coronavirus (10%). Overall NRM was 24.5%.Pre- and post-RVI screening NRM was 22.9% and 26.7% (p=0.53). 12/26 (46%) NRM events were respiratory-related pre-RVI vs 6/24 (25%) post-RVI (RR 0.54, 95%CI 0.24-1.22, p=0.14). Post-RVI screening, viral pneumonitis was the cause of respiratory death in 2/5 pts (1=RSV, 1=rhinovirus). Respiratory-related deaths represent a significant NRM burden post allo-HSCT. RVI screening may impact on respiratory-related NRM in allo-HSCT.
Stress Role and Dysfunctional Behavior on The Performance of Internal Auditor

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study intends to show the relationship of stress role including role conflict and role ambiguity with dysfunctional behavior, and its effect on the performance of internal auditors at BO of BJB Bank. The research design is explanatory survey, with a population of internal auditors (internal controls) throughout BO of BJB Bank which is also a sample. The type of data is cross-section with a collection of questionnaires. The method used is path analysis. The analysis showed: 1) role conflict and role ambiguity did not have a positive effect on the dysfunctional behavior of internal auditor; 2) role conflict and role ambiguity did not adversely affect the performance of the internal auditor; and 5) dysfunctional behavior did not negatively affects the performance of the internal auditor. The reason is that the internal auditors have adequate skills and knowledge in every BO of BJB Bank, so they can control the condition of stress role experienced in low levels. Stressful conditions can serve as constructive stress that brings a positive impact that suppress the emergence of dysfunctional behavior and make stress as a spur to improve their performance.
An improvement for the sharp Adams inequalities in bounded domains and whole space $\mathbb{R}^n$

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We prove an improvement for the sharp Adams inequality in $W^{m,\frac nm}_0(Ω)$ where $Ω$ is a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ inspired by Lions Concentration--Compactness principle for the sharp Moser--Trudinger inequality. Our method gives an alternative approach to a Concentration--Compactness principle in $W^{m,\frac nm}_0(Ω)$ recently established by do Ó and Macedo. Moreover, when $m$ is odd, we obtain an improvement for their result by finding the best exponent in this principle. Our approach also is successfully applied to whole space $\mathbb{R}^n$ to establish an improvement for the sharp Adams inequalities in $W^{m,\frac nm}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ due to Ruf, Sani, Lam, Lu, Fontana and Morpurgo. This type of improvement is still unknown, in general, except the special case $m=1$ due to do Ó, de Souza, de Medeiros and Severo. Our method is a further development for the method of $\check{\rm C}$erny, Cianchi and Hencl combining with some estimates for the decreasing rearrangement of a function in terms of the one of its higher order derivatives.

Electrical stimulation for drug-resistant epilepsy: an evidence-based analysis.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Electrical stimulation of specific areas of the brain is a procedure used to control epileptic seizures when more conventional treatments are not working. Most adults and children with epilepsy are able to control their seizures with medication, but for some patients, drugs are not effective and surgery to remove the part of the brain where the seizures start is not an appropriate option. This study looked at the research available on the effectiveness, safety, and cost of two types of electrical stimulation devices currently licensed for treatment of epilepsy for adults and children in Canada: vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS). Both approaches appear to be effective at reducing the frequency of seizures in adults. However, the evidence on DBS is limited to a single study with adults; we found no studies of DBS with children. Studies on VNS showed that both adults and children had fewer hospitalizations and emergency department visits after the procedure. Both procedures carry serious risks, but several longer-term studies have found that adverse events appear to be limited. The cost of VNS, including the process of assessing whether or not patients are good candidates for the procedure, is estimated to be about $40,000 per person (and higher for DBS because the device is more expensive and the operating time is longer). Of the 70,000 people in Ontario with epilepsy, about 1,400 (300 children and 1,110 adults) may be candidates for VNS to reduce their seizures.
A Study on Creativity of University Students

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Daily innovation and improvement activities within the company are important for a company to carry out sustainable management. In addition, in-house innovation and improvement activities are also required to be efficient, such as shortening the time required to solve problems. Therefore, it is important for employees to discover issues, execute, and teamwork. Among them, creativity is especially required. In terms of creativity, many researchers have suggested the importance of fostering creativity in childhood and youth. Therefore, in this study, we focus on youth students, collect cases of daily successful experiences from childhood to youth based on interview surveys, analyze them, and clarify their characteristics.
EigenGP: Sparse Gaussian process models with data-dependent eigenfunctions

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Gaussian processes (GPs) provide a nonparametric representation of functions. However, classical GP inference suffers from high computational cost and it is difficult to design nonstationary GP priors in practice. In this paper, we propose a sparse Gaussian process model, EigenGP, based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) expansion of a GP prior. We use the Nystrom approximation to obtain data dependent eigenfunctions and select these eigenfunctions by evidence maximization. This selection reduces the number of eigenfunctions in our model and provides a nonstationary covariance function. To handle nonlinear likelihoods, we develop an efficient expectation propagation (EP) inference algorithm, and couple it with expectation maximization for eigenfunction selection. Because the eigenfunctions of a Gaussian kernel are associated with clusters of samples - including both the labeled and unlabeled - selecting relevant eigenfunctions enables EigenGP to conduct semi-supervised learning. Our experimental results demonstrate improved predictive performance of EigenGP over alternative state-of-the-art sparse GP and semisupervised learning methods for regression, classification, and semisupervised classification.
Transannular Pulmonary Enlargement and Bioprostheses for Carcinoid Disease

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A diminutive pulmonary artery and right ventricular outflow tract in a 46-year-old woman with a 10-year history of carcinoid syndrome required transannular pulmonary patch enlargement to allow replacement of the pulmonary and tricuspid valves with bioprostheses. The avoidance of anticoagulation permitted further hepatic arterial embolization without an increased risk of bleeding.
Growth, Gas Exchanges and Maize Productivity Under Potassic Fertilizer Management and Residual Response on Bean

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Potassium (K) is the second nutrient of greater absorption by plants, and it is of fundamental importance for the development of the cultures and acts in the activation of enzymes that participate in the photosynthetic processes. However, there are still doubts about its residual effect on crop succession. Therefore, the objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of K doses on growth, gas exchange and maize yield and its residual effect on bean culture. The experiment was a randomized complete block design, in a 5x2 factorial scheme, totaling 10 treatments, with five K doses (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1) and two fertilization periods (seeding and V5 stadium) in maize plants. Growth parameters, gas exchange and yield were evaluated in maize plants, and growth was evaluated in Bean plants in an experimental area belonging to the Department of Plant Science and Environmental, Federal University of Paraíba in Northeast Brazil. For the analysis of the data, we performed the analysis of variance, according to the design adopted. Subsequently, the data were submitted to regression analysis, with curve fitting, according to the parameters evaluated. Results revealed that, K fertilization influenced the growth of maize plants in the two fertilization periods (seeding and V5 stadium) at 45 and 75 days after planting, as well as in gas exchange and productivity. Fertilization at the V5 stadium in maize presented higher values compared to fertilization at seeding, in which the dose of 150 kg ha-1 presented the best results at both planting times. In relation to the residual effect of K on bean growth, it was verified that, there was influence of the doses on the growth of plants, in which the dose of 200 kg ha-1 recorded the highest values. The results showed that there is the residual response of K on bean cultivation in succession with maize. For the greater development of maize, it is recommended to use the dose of 150 kg ha-1 at the V5 stage of plants.
The use of generalized audit software by Egyptian external auditors

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore: the actual usage of generalized audit software (GAS) features among Egyptian external auditors, through the technology acceptance model (TAM); how the conceptual complexity of GAS features impact its actual usage; and what factors influencing the GAS use by Egyptian external auditors. Design/methodology/approach External audit professionals at 12 international audit firms, including the Big 4 and eight medium-sized firms, in Egypt were surveyed. Findings The results show that the basic features including database queries, ratio analysis, and audit sampling were higher in GAS use, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use among Egyptian external auditors than the advanced features: digital analysis, regression/ANOVA, and data mining classification. The structural equation modelling analysis by GAS features suggests that perceived ease of use has a stronger effect on GAS use when the conceptual complexity of GAS features is high. The analysis also support that the use of GAS by Egyptian external auditors is more affected by co-worker, supervisor, or organization through perceived usefulness, but not by job relevance, output quality, and result demonstration. Research limitations/implications Although Egyptian external auditors participated in this study may limit the extent to which the findings may be generalized, the responses provide an insight into the actual usage of GAS features by external auditors and the impact of conceptual complexity of GAS features, which is consistent with the literature concerning the relatively low level of utilizing the advanced features of GAS by internal auditors, suggesting that the issues revealed should be of concern. Practical implications The results reported in this paper are useful to audit software developers and audit firms in their understanding of factors influencing GAS usage in a different audit context. Originality/value The study adds value to prior research by providing context-contingent insight into the application of TAM in an unexplored audit context.
New memory‐type dispersion control charts

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract The exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart is a memory‐type process monitoring tool that is frequently used to monitor small and moderate disturbances in the process mean and/or process dispersion. In this study, we propose 2 new memory‐type control charts for monitoring changes in the process dispersion, namely, the generally weighted moving average and the hybrid EWMA charts. We use Monte Carlo simulations to compute the run length profiles of the proposed control charts. The run length comparisons of the proposed and existing charts reveal that the generally weighted moving average and hybrid EWMA charts provide better protection than the existing EWMA chart when detecting small to moderate shifts in the process dispersion. An illustrative dataset is also used to show the superiority of the proposed charts over the existing chart.
Climate change impacts on agriculture and livelihoods in Sirdibas, Manaslu conservation area, Gorkha

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

This research assesses impacts of climate change in agriculture and livelihood at Sirdibas village, Gorkha district. Apart from the review of literature, analysis of climatic and socioeconomic data, field data were collected using some selected participatory tools techniques and household survey. The analysis revealed an increased trend on mean annual temperature at the rate of 0.05°C/year while annual mean rainfall is increasing at the rate of 0.995 mm/year while the winter rainfall was in decreasing trend. Increased dry spell and rise in temperature have reduced cropping period both for summer and winter crops. An increased productivity of maize, wheat and millet over years has shown a decreasing trend in the recent years, due to intense off season rainfall followed by water logging. Shifting of farming communities to other businesses also decreased crop yield. Out-migrations have caused decreased crop yield. Along with climate change impacts change, government policy and shifting peoples' livelihood options have impacted agriculture.
Complement-mediated ‘bystander’ damage initiates host NLRP3 inflammasome activation

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Complement activation has long been associated with inflammation, primarily due to the elaboration of the complement anaphylotoxins C5a and C3a. In this work, we demonstrate that the phagocytosis of complement-opsonized particles promotes host inflammatory responses by a new mechanism that depends on the terminal complement components (C5b–C9). We demonstrate that during the phagocytosis of complement-opsonized particles, the membrane attack complex (MAC) of complement can be transferred from the activating particle to the macrophage plasma membrane by a ‘bystander’ mechanism. This MAC-mediated bystander damage initiates NLRP3 inflammasome activation, resulting in caspase-1 activation and IL-1β and IL-18 secretion. Inflammasome activation is not induced when macrophages phagocytize unopsonized particles or particles opsonized with serum deficient in one of the terminal complement components. The secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 by macrophages depends on NLRP3, ASC (also known as PYCARD) and caspase-1, as macrophages deficient in any one of these components fail to secrete these cytokines following phagocytosis. The phagocytosis of complement-opsonized particles increases leukocyte recruitment and promotes T helper 17 cell (TH17) biasing. These findings reveal a new mechanism by which complement promotes inflammation and regulates innate and adaptive immunity.
