    The Practices and Problems of Professional Integrity and Ethics in Private Banks: In the case of Bunna International Bank
    (Addis Ababa University, 2019-06) Haregeweyn Legesse; Derebe Assefa
    Ethics is concerned with the code of values and principles that enables a person to choose between right and wrong. In recent past the banking industry banks have witnessed frauds, greed, poor internal controls etc has led to loss of trust and capital. These acts resulted from unethical behavior from employees and management. The focus of this study is to analyze ethics and professionalism in Ethiopian Bank specifically in Bunna International bank with a view of establishing the level of awareness of code of ethics. To meet this objective, a non probable sampling, purposive method was used. Data were collected both from primary and secondary sources. The primary data were collected from questioners received from employees of Bunna International bank in the head office. These officials are top management officers and senior staff members with total work experience of 10 to 20 years of bank experience. And Secondary source of data is from the Policy and Procedure Manual, website of Bunna International Bank. Finally, presentation and appraisal was illustrated in simple descriptive method. The percentage method was adopted to analyze the data obtained and the response from the questionnaires was then presented using the Statistical package for Social Science (SPSS). The data obtained were then analyzed based on frequency of respondent’s opinions. The evidence generated from this study reveals that many employees of the Bank are aware of the Code of Ethics and Professionalism in the Bank. It was also found that unethical behavior is responsible for distress in banks. The sanctions for unethical/unprofessional conducts appear to be too weak. I therefore recommend the need to promote greater awareness of Ethics and the Code of Ethics in Bunna International Bank, as this is the best way of promoting ethical behavior.

    Procedural Success Rate and its Associated Factors of Transcatheter Atrial Septal Defect Device Closure among Adolescent and Adult Patients In Ethiopia, 2024
    (Addis Ababa University, 2025-04-05) Derebe Assefa; Desalew Mekonnen
    Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the leading congenital heart disease(CHD) in adults and its prevalence is increasing. Secundum ASD is the most common type of ASD, and it results in different complications if left untreated. Surgery has been the only option to close ASD for several decades. Transcatheter ASD device closure has revolutionized and replaced surgery due to its lower complication rate, avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass, lower comorbidity, lower cost, avoidance of sternotomy scar and shorter hospital stay. But the efficacy and safety of this noninvasive procedure is not well known in East Africa, including Ethiopia. Therefore, the aim of the study is to assess the success rate and its predictors of transcatheter ASD device closure in Ethiopia
