Corruption - no rule of law - no democracy: could separately elected Attorneys General in a divided executive give Africa new hope? Experiences from the U. States of A
No full textThesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2008.A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa). Prepared under the supervision of Mr. Tilahun Teshome
in association with the Addis Ababa UniversityHistory has proven that, if freed from the grasp of the unitary executive, the
elected Attorney General flourishes as a lawyer for the law dedicated above all else to the "public interest." In light of these proven benefits, the pressing question becomes whether this tested design can help the people of Africa as they fight to reclaim their wayward governments. Might a popularly elected Attorney General steady the bridge so Africa can pass through to freedom and prosperity? More immediately,
does the divided executive with its elected attorney general represent a new hope for
Africa in combating corruption? The author takes a critical look at the evolution of the elected Attorney General and uses the role of the Attorney General in the United States of America as an example.
The author concludes that perhaps now is the time to start creating the history of Africa’s ultimate escape from the endless vestiges of colonialism still embedded in the unitary executive. Maybe now is the time for the peoples of Africa to borrow an idea from their American cousins and get their own lawyer!http://www.chr.up.ac.za/Centre for Human RightsLL

Public trust in the police: Investigating the influence of police performance, procedural fairness, and police-community relations in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
No full textIn Western countries, there is conclusive research on public trust in the police and the factors that affect it; however, the situation in developing countries like Ethiopia is largely unknown and unexplored. The current study utilized cross-sectional data from representative 616 households from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The study results found lower trust in the local police, less effective in reducing crime, and residents’ unfavorable perceptions of police procedural fairness, accompanied by poor relationships with the community. Moreover, perceptions of police effectiveness, procedural justice, and police-community relations were significant predictors of citizens’ trust in the police. The results of the study provide evidence for the applicability of the underlying assumptions of the performance model, procedural justice and community policing in the context of Ethiopia. As a result, to enhance trust in the police and improve relations with citizens, police should effectively control crime and communicate it, exert authority procedurally, exercise fair and respectful policing, and undertake activities that positively strengthen their relationship with the community. This study has theoretical and practical implications and provides insights for enhancing public trust in the police
Model Uncertainty of Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Beams without Shear Reinforcement: Examining the Effect of Modelling Strategies and Modes of Failure
No full textThe aim of this thesis project is to investigate the model uncertainty of non-linear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures at ultimate limit state by focusing on concrete cracking model, concrete-reinforcement interaction model and mesh size. Following this, eight finite element modelling strategies are developed and 67 benchmark experiments on reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforcement are analysed.The measure of model uncertainty is using the ratio of experimental to numerical failure load and comparing predicted and experimental failure behaviour. A ratio that deviates form 1 indicates high model uncertainty with values <1 representing non-conservative predictions and values >1 representing conservative predictions.The eight modelling strategies are categorized into three groups. The first group is used to select shear retention model for the fixed crack concept and to study the behaviour of fixed and rotating crack concepts in combination with embedded reinforcement. The damage based and aggregate-size based shear retention models are investigated resulting in a mean model uncertainty ratio of 0.86 and 0.82 respectively. This indicates that on average both predict higher ultimate capacity when compared to experimental results with the aggregate size based shear retention model exhibiting higher model uncertainty. The aggregate size based model is not capable of predicting shear and mixed failure types while the damage based predicted accurate failure modes. On the other hand, the rotating crack model with embedded reinforcement shows failure due to delamination of the concrete cover. Replacement of the perfectly bonded embedded reinforcement by reinforcement with bond-slip demonstrated to predict accurate failure modes.The second group has the fixed crack model with damage based shear retention model and embedded reinforcement, which is referred to as F-EB-2-D and rotating crack model with bond-slip reinforcement named R-BS-2. Both modelling strategies have 50mm mesh size and result in mean model uncertainty ratio of 1.11 and 1.06 respectively which implies that on average both give conservative predictions of the ultimate capacity with R-BS-2 showing a better prediction. Both modelling strategies give higher model uncertainty for experiments with shear failure with F-EB-2-D and R-BS-2 predicting accurate failure modes for 48% and 51% of the experiments respectively. The beams with reinforcement ratio of ≤ 0.6% showed on average less model uncertainty in F-EB-2-D and R-BS-2. The third group is made by refining the mesh size of F-EB-2-D and R-BS-2 from 50mm to 25mm in critical section of the beams to formulate the modelling strategies F-EB-3-D and R-BS-3 . 16 experiments are re-analysed using this group and a lowered mean model uncertainty ratio of 0.93 and 0.95 is obtained for F-EB-3-D and R-BS-3 respectively although this is slightly non-conservative with accurate predictions for 81% of the 16 experiments. The correlation between model uncertainty and numerical failure mechanism is made using a ductility index which is defined as the ratio of the plastic dissipated energy in the reinforcement and the system. However the ductility index should be used together with model uncertainty if it is verified that the correct equations are solved accurately in the finite element analysis.Civil Engineerin

Challenges and Opportunities of the National Election Board of Ethiopia Reform
No full textThis work is about Challenges and Opportunities of the National election Board of Ethiopian reform with critically pointing out the needs of the reform. Institutionalization, as part of the democratizing country with federal arrangement; as well as taking challenges and opportunities with the way critically point out the needs of the Reform as the central theme of this paper. In doing so, the article has addressed issues of challenges and opportunities of the reform. The writer has come to the conclusion that the reorganization of the board is lawfully referred to as an independent institution; in that it makes use of election process impartially, free, fair, periodic and universally accepted norms to implement in the full manner. Accordingly, to reach such a conclusion, the author has discussed some issues to reach the conclusion institutional reform is expected as time change. Among these; challenges, opportunities and the needs of the reform on the National Election Board of Ethiopia were well assessed. In order to achieve the objectives of this work desk review research approach was used for its appropriateness of managing and narrating facts, as well as investigating phenomena to reach to sound and constructive conclusion.
