    (Addis Ababa University, 2022) Samuel Hailu; Wubegzier Mekonnen
    Background: Quality of life (QOL) is increasingly recognized as an important patient-reported outcome in health care research. However, the use is still restricted. Epilepsy impact was far more frequently evaluated considering QOL but only focused on adult patients so this research focused on children. Objective: To assess the quality of life among children between (7-18) with epilepsy and associated factors in governmental Hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 2021. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study design was employed and data was collected from 564 children using a face-to-face interview in Addis Ababa from November 2020 to January 2021 selected using multi-stage sampling method. Probability proportionate to size technique was applied to select children from each hospital. The data was cleaned, entered through EPI-INFO 3.1and exported to STATA version 15.0 for analysis. Frequency distributions of variables were tabulated. The raw numbers of the five-point Likert scale for QOLIE-CH-48 domain scores were converted into a 0-100-point response scale, with higher scores indicating better QOL.ANOVA was used to assess the relationship between quality of life and the independent variables. Multiple linear regression was conducted to identify factors predicting quality of life. The threshold for statistical significance was p<0.05. Result: -A total of 564 children participated with a response rate of 94.1%. The mean score of quality of life was 60.18±8.68 (95% CI: 59.05, 61.23). Self-depression (P= 0.0094 F=3.39), number of anti-epileptic drug (AED) (P=0.0021 F=4.97), types of seizure (P= 0.000, F=52.26) were statistically significant predictors of QOL.A score in quality of life increased by 5.03 for every unit increase in a score of seizure frequency per week with (β= 5.0395% CI:0.4 -0.9).Quality of life of epileptic patients increased by 0.19 and 1.99 in every unit increase in a score of stigma and anxiety (β= 0.1995% CI: (-0.1 - 0.1) and(β=1.99, 95%CI: 0.007- 1.03) respectively. Conclusion: -The quality of life among children with epilepsy was low. Stigma, seizure, depression and anxiety, and AED side effects were statically significant for quality of life. Implementing interventions that focus on early detection like self depression and stigma in children with epilepsy should be of great concern for healthcare providers.

    L‟intégration de la technologie et des logiciels pour faciliter l‟apprentissage du FLE : Le cas des apprenants niveau A2.1 et A2.2 de l‟AEF
    (Addis Abeba University, 2024-11) Samuel Hailu; Yohannes Beyene
    L'intégration de la technologie et des logiciels pour faciliter l'apprentissage de la langue française a considérablement évolué au fil des années, offrant des opportunités et des défis uniques pour les apprenants, les enseignants et les développeurs des logiciels. Dans cette étude, nous avons exploré l'intérêt à intégrer la technologie, l’information et de la communication dans l'enseignement/apprentissage du FLE face de leurs défis. Pour réaliser ces objectifs, nous avons appliqué des méthodologies mixtes (qualitatives et quantitatives) pour la collecte et l’analyse des données. Nous avons analysé des réponses obtenues des participants. Donc, d’après les résultants, nous avons remarqué que les ressources technologiques disponibles à l’AEF Mais, leurs utilisation c’est marque insuffisante. L’intégration de la technologie et des logiciels offre des avantages significatifs pour faciliter l'apprentissage de la langue française, en offrant une flexibilité, une interactivité et une immersion accrues. Cependant, il est important que les enseignants aient tous les savoir-faire a l’utilisation de ces technologies et des logicielle afin de surmonter les défis associés à cette intégration. De même, il faut que considération nécessaire est mis en oeuvre pour assure un équilibre entre l'utilisation de la technologie et les interactions en personne dans l'enseignement du français. Comme, la dépendance excessive à la technologie peut entraîner une perte de l'interaction humaine qui est essentielle pour le développement des compétences linguistiques.

    Respect of Human Rights s by Transnational Business Corporates in Tuleffa Town vis-à-vis UNGPS
    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-12) Samuel Hailu; Selemon Abay (PhD)
    Globalization has paved the way for the rapid expansion of transnational business corporations across the globe. While these enterprises provide significant economic benefits, particularly for developing countries, they also hold the potential to promote fundamental human rights and freedoms within their host states. However, alongside these advantages, they pose serious risks to human rights. Historically, human rights issues were primarily associated with national governments, leaving corporate-related abuses largely unexamined despite evidence of widespread violations caused by local and global business entities. Today, the expectation for businesses to uphold human rights has become a global norm. Transnational corporations, like all business entities, have obligations under both national and international laws to respect fundamental human rights and freedoms. The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) stand as a key global framework, defining corporate responsibilities and mandating proactive measures to prevent and mitigate human rights risks, as well as to address violations arising from their operations. This study focuses on the role of transnational business corporations operating in Tulofa town in fulfilling their obligations to respect fundamental human rights as outlined in the UNGPs. Employing a cross-sectional study design and a quantitative research approach, the research selected four transnational corporations from the twenty operating in the area, based on their operational history and employee size, using purposive sampling. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed to randomly selected employees from these companies. The findings, analyzed through a descriptive approach, reveal that the compliance of transnational corporations in the study area with their duty to respect human rights, as prescribed by the UNGPs, is significantly weak.
