EasyCompress: Automated Compression for Deep Learning Models
No full textOver the past years the size of deep learning models has been growing consistently. This growth has led to significant improvements in performance, but at the expense of increased computational resource demands. Compression techniques can be used to improve the efficiency of deep learning models by shrinking their size and computational needs, whilepreserving performance.This thesis presents EasyCompress, an automated and user-friendly tool to compress deep learning models. The tool improves on existing compression research by focusing on generalizability and practical usability, in three ways. Firstly, it aligns with specific compression objectives and performance requirements, ensuring the compression accomplishes its intended goal effectively. Secondly, it employs flexible compression techniques, so that it is applicable to a diverse set of models without requiring deep model knowledge. Finally, it automates the compression process, eliminating difficult and time-consuming implementationefforts.EasyCompress intelligently selects, tailors, and combines various compression techniques to minimize model size, latency, or number of computations while preserving performance. It employs structured pruning to reduce the number of parameters and computations, uses knowledge distillation techniques to ensure better accuracy recovery, and uses quantization to achieve additional compression.The tool’s effectiveness is evaluated across diverse model architectures and configurations. Experimental results on a range of models and datasets demonstrate its ability to reduce the model size at least 5-fold, inference time by at least 1.5-fold, and the number of computations by at least 3-fold. Most compression rates are even higher, reaching up to 10, 20, and even 100-fold reductions.The tool is available online at https://thesis.abelvansteenweghen.com.https://thesis.abelvansteenweghen.com Deployed version of the web app. https://github.com/abel-vs/thesis GitHub repository containing the thesis code. https://github.com/abel-vs/thesis-app GitHub repository containing the web app code.Computer Science | Software Technolog

Compliance with Standard Occupational Health and Safety Measures and Associated Factors Among Small-Scale Metal Industry Workers in Central Ethiopia
No full textAbel Afework,1,2 Aiggan Tamene,3– 5 Abera Tafa2 1Center for Sustainable Development, Addis Abeba University, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia; 2Infection Prevention and Control department, Dilla University, Dilla, Ethiopia; 3Centre for Sustainability, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand; 4Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand; 5Department of Environmental Health Sciences, Wachemo University, Wachemo, EthiopiaCorrespondence: Abel Afework, Email [email protected]: Compliance with workplace health and safety measures can result in considerable reduction in workplace injuries and fatalities and attributed economic costs. However, majority of studies conducted in small-scale industries in numerous countries, including Ethiopia focused on the prevalence of occupational injuries and there is a paucity of evidence on level of employees’ adherence to safety measures and the associated factors. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess workers’ compliance and factors associated with occupational health and safety practices in small-scale metal industries in Central Ethiopia.Methods: This study was conducted in Central Ethiopia. A total of 415 small-scale metal workers were included in this study. Study participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique. A structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. The collected data were entered using EPI Info version 7.2 and exported to IBM-SPSS Version 22 for further cleaning and analysis. Bivariate and multivariate Binary Logistic Regression were conducted to determine association and during the multivariable regression variables with a p-value < 0.05 were considered significantly associated factors.Results: The study found a 39.3% (95% CI: 34.7, 44.1) prevalence of good compliance with safety and health measures among small-scale metal workers. Temporary employed workers were less likely to adhere [AOR=0.43, 95% CI (0.21, 0.93)] and workers who received training were more likely to adhere [AOR=5.75, 95% CI (2.56, 12.9)] to safety precautions. Other significantly associated variables included work experience, working at night, and satisfaction with the current salary.Conclusion: This study sheds light on small-scale metal workers’ commitment to workplace safety and health procedures, indicating a compliance rate of 39.3%, which is low. Temporary employees and less experienced workers are less likely to follow health and safety precautions. Workplace health and safety training are associated with increased safety precautions.Keywords: safety compliance, health and safety, small-scale industries, metal workers, Ethiopi
Abel Inversion of Axially-Symmetric Shock Wave Flows
No full textFinite-fringe interferograms produced for axisymmetric shock wave flows are analyzed by Fourier transform fringe analysis and an Abel inversion method to produce density field data for the validation of numerical models. For the Abel inversion process, we use basis functions to model phase data from axially-symmetric shock wave structure. Steady and unsteady flow problems are studied, and compared with numerical simulations. Good agreement between theoretical and experimental results is obtained when one set of basis functions is used during the inversion process, but the shock front is smeared when another is used. This is because each function in the second set of basis functions is infinitely differentiable, making them poorly-suited to the modelling of a step function as is required in the representation of a shock wave
The Prevalence of Occupational Accidents and the Associated Factors Among Janitorial Staff at a University Teaching Hospital in South Ethiopia

As a result, healthcare workers are constantly exposed to a wide range of hazards, including biological, chemical, physical, ergonomic, and psychosocial hazards. Consequently, janitorial staff are the most vulnerable section of the healthcare workforce to occupational injuries when compared to others due to the nature of their work. Therefore, this study aims at assessing the magnitude of occupational accidents and associated factors among Janitorial staff at Dilla University Teaching Hospital.Methods: This cross-sectional institutional-based study was conducted from August to September 2022 at a University Teaching Hospital in South Ethiopia. A total of 105 janitorial staff were included in the study with a response rate of 93.8%. The data were collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data were entered using Epi Info version 7.2.5 and exported to IBM SPSS statistics 22 for further cleaning and analysis. The binary logistic regression model was used to identify predictors of occupational accidents and variables with a p-value of < 0.05 during the multivariable analysis were considered statistically significant.Results: The prevalence of occupational accidents is 61% (95% CI: 51.4, 70.5). Of the total study participants, 52 (45.5%) and 33 (31.4%) of the participants had reported that they have experienced chemical splash and needle stick injury, respectively. The age of participants was one of the factors for occupational accidents. The participants who did not receive training were 3 times [AOR=2.9, 95% CI (1.04, 8.02)] more likely exposed. Having good practice was protective against occupational injuries.Conclusion: The study highlights the high prevalence of occupational accidents, particularly chemical splashes, and needle stick injuries, among janitors in the study settings. The study emphasizes the importance of age, training, awareness, and adherence to infection prevention and control strategies as factors influencing the likelihood of experiencing occupational injuries.Keywords: occupational accident, occupational injury, chemical splash, needle stick injury, sharp injur

An Abel-Jacobi invariant for cobordant cycles
No full textWe discuss an Abel-Jacobi invariant for algebraic cobordism cycles whose image in topological cobordism vanishes. The existence of this invariant follows by abstract arguments from the construction of Hodge filtered cohomology theories in joint work of Michael J. Hopkins and the author. In this paper, we give a concrete description of the Abel-Jacobi map and Hodge filtered cohomology groups for projective smooth complex varieties.(c) The authors
