A 4-Core Single-Mode Fiber Based Full Duplex Self-Homodyne Link for Coherent Data Center Interconnects
Authors: Sidhique Aboobackkar , Saxena Shekhar , Mishra Pramod , Roy Shubham , Mishra Arvind , Gupta Shalabh
Published: May 2022

We propose a coherent bidirectional link over a 4-core single-mode fiber for short-reach data center interconnects (DCIs). The proposed self-homodyne coherent link efficiently utilizes all the polarization and spatial modes in the fiber (by polarization multiplexing the carrier in two of the cores) to achieve a single-fiber full-duplex high capacity interconnect, while also providing the advantages of self-homodyning. For proof-of-the-concept, a single-lambda 13km bidirectional 40 Gbaud 16-QAM link, achieving 2×400 Gbps data rate (after 20% FEC overheads), is demonstrated. With wavelength division multiplexing and higher baud-rates, the approach can help meet the upcoming requirements for high-capacity DCIs.
Technologies for Optically Interconnected CPU
Authors: Park Sahnggi
Published: May 2022

In the CMOS process, there are 4 materials,
silicon nitride (Si3N4), silicon oxynitride (SiOxNy), silicon
dioxide (SiO2), and silicon (Si) that can be used as an optical
waveguide. If silicon is not used, then the waveguide should be made with the
remaining 3 materials. Among the methods that can inject light into those
optical waveguides, the only possible method is to use a prism. It is
demonstrated that an optical network chip can be realized by our three technologies
and the cavity-type waveguide made out of silicon nitride and silicon dioxide.

The average propagation loss transmitted
through the cavity-type waveguide, which was designed to minimize roughness on
the waveguide side walls, was measured 0.258 dB/cm. Except for the reflection
loss at the prism, the net coupling loss from VCSEL to the waveguide was
measured 0.855 dB. The packaged size of VCSEL or photodiode has an area of 0.4
mm2 and a height of 0.64 mm, which can be attached to the prism. The
area for optical devices to be integrated on a 8 core CPU chip is much smaller,
<30 mm2, than the available area, 174 mm2.

The prism used for injecting light into the
waveguide can also be used as the optimal WDM filter in which two thin films
with different refractive indices are alternately stacked on the bottom side.
Theoretical calculations have proved the performance of a WDM filter. If
anti-reflection films were coated on the two surfaces of the prism with
materials, TiO2 and Ta2O5, then the reflection
loss at the prism was calculated to decrease from 2.75 dB to 1.11 dB for polyimide
adhesive and from 2.73 dB to 0.52 dB for optical glue.

As compared with the electrical mesh
network, an optical network which interconnects 4 x 8 core CPUs optically saves
the power consumption from 30 W to 0.25 W and the latency from 5120 cycles to
184 cycles. The manufacturing cost can be reduced to, approximately, 1/3 of the
current 28 core single chip price.

We
propose a 2.5D package of CPU with the interposer chip replaced by an optical
network chip and another type of optically interconnected CPU based on straight
waveguides. Our three technologies and the cavity-type waveguide demonstrated
in section II must be sufficient solutions to implement optically
interconnected CPU and high speed devices to computers. The remaining work is
to set up robotic equipment to attach the LDs and PDs to the prisms
automatically and for mass production.
Employee Free Choice: Amplifying Employee Voice without Silencing Employers - A Proposal for Reforming the National Labor Relations Act
Authors: Livingston Amy
Published: May 2022

This Note investigates the effectiveness of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) in balancing unions, employers', and employees' rights during the course of union organizing drives. After reviewing case law and commentary, it concludes that the NLRA's certification regime is ineffective and permits pressures that inhibit employees from expressing their real desires about whether or not to be represented by a union. This Note then examines proposed alternatives for certifying unions, and takes note of Canada's federal and ten provincial certification regimes. Finally, it concludes that the NLRA must be amended to protect worker free choice, and proposes reforms including limiting unions to a public sixty-day organizing campaign, designing a uniform authorization card to be submitted with a fee by employees desiring union representation, and establishing a verification process for these cards.
Federal Discovery Stays
Authors: Mark Gideon
Published: May 2022

In federal civil litigation, unless a discretionary stay is granted, discovery often proceeds while motions to dismiss are pending. Plaintiffs with non-meritorious cases can compel defendants to spend massively on electronic discovery before courts ever rule on such motions. Defendants who are unable or unwilling to incur the huge up-front expense of electronic discovery may be forced to settle non-meritorious claims. To address multiple electronic discovery issues, Congress amended the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in 2006 and the Federal Rules of Evidence in 2008. However, the amendments failed to significantly reduce costs and failed to address the critical issue of discovery timing. This Article contends that a mandatory stay is the most effective solution to the problem of electronic discovery during the pendency of motions to dismiss. In 1995, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act imposed a mandatory stay of all discovery while motions to dismiss are pending in actions alleging violations of securities laws, absent application of two limited statutory exceptions. This Article examines the operation of the mandatory stay in securities actions and concludes that it should be extended to electronic discovery in all federal civil litigation, unless an exception applies. Imposition of a mandatory stay of electronic discovery before the disposition of motions to dismiss is the most equitable and effective solution to the unresolved problem of coercive settlements.
Increasing Youth Participation: The Case for a National Voter Pre-Registration Law
Authors: Cherry Ceridwen
Published: May 2022

Lagging youth participation rates threaten participatory democracy and undermine the representation of young people's interests in elected government. However, the percentage of registered youth who actually cast ballots is very high. The correlation between registration and actual voter participation suggests that when given assistance and greater opportunities to register, young citizens will vote. This Note proposes a national pre-registration law that would allow voter registration to begin at age sixteen. Such a law would be feasible, constitutional, and politically viable and may increase not only the voter participation of young people, but also the socioeconomic diversity of the electorate.
Non-Judicial Estate Settlement
Authors: Martin John
Published: May 2022

Estate settlement through probate procedures satisfies no one. The public is hostile to the delay, expense, and lack of privacy that accompanies probate. Attorneys respond to public dissatisfaction by counseling probate avoidance. Legislatures facilitate some settlements by enacting simplified procedures for low-value estates. In large measure, the Uniform Probate Code (UPC) was a response to criticisms leveled at probate. Alternative settlement procedures are offered by the UPC, including informal testacy determinations and informal appointment procedures. These alternatives, however, remain imbedded in a judicial system, with it procedural rigidities. The UPC informal settlement alternatives did not silence the criticism. The continued dissatisfaction with probate continues to breed devices to avoid probate and shortcut options for small estates. To address the ongoing hostility, this Article advocates the UPC adopt an optional, non-judicial registration system for estate settlement. Patterned after small-estate statutes, a registration system establishes the decedent's testate or intestate status by registering the will or an affidavit of heirship, identifies a personal representative when one is needed, and permits completion of settlement as rapidly as the unique circumstances of each estate permit. A registration system is designed for the majority of estates, the ones that involve no controversy. Utilizing a registration system, the decedent's beneficiaries may collect assets, pay debts, and make distribution promptly, with reduced expense, and without the publicity that judicial proceedings entail. A registration system would be a continuation of the UPC's intent to offer estate settlement modes that are both acceptable to the public and responsive to the purposes of estate settlement.
Toward Economic Analysis of the Uniform Probate Code
Authors: Kelly Daniel
Published: May 2022

Insights from economics and the economic analysis of law may be useful in analyzing succession law, including intestacy and wills as well as nonprobate transfers such as trusts. After surveying prior works that have examined succession from a functional perspective, I explore the possibility of utilizing tools like (i) transaction costs, (ii) the ex ante/ex post distinction, and (iii) rules versus standards, to illuminate the design of the Uniform Probate Code. Specifically, I investigate how these tools, which legal scholars have employed widely in other contexts, may be relevant in understanding events like the nonprobate revolution and issues like "dead hand" control; analyzing UPC provisions pertaining to the harmless error rule, reformation, and ademption by extinction; and evaluating law reforms such as proposals to abolish attestation or prevent the disinheritance of children.
Penguatan Karakter Anak Muslim Moderat dalam Mencegah Perilaku Bullying di Sekolah
Authors: Rohmad Muhammad Ali , Rozi Syaikhu , Yaqin Ainul
Published: May 2022

This article is the result of a study that depicts the efforts of schools in strengthening the character of moderate Muslim children to prevent bullying behavior in schools. These efforts are relevant to government policies in encouraging the implementation of the Child Friendly School (SRA) program. The research process that produced this article was carried out qualitatively using interactive model data analysis techniques as developed by Miles and Huberman. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that bullying is carried out by stronger students against students who are weaker psychologically and physically when there is no teacher at school. The psychological impact of bullying is that students who are bullied feel stressed, inferior, hurt, sad, and frustrated, so they are reluctant and sometimes even afraid to go to school. The solution so that students do not do bullying is to intensively instill the character of Moderate Muslim Children in students, because among its characteristics are upholding noble character, tolerance, and not being discriminatory. The planting method is the pilot method, problem solving, and synchronic-analytic

Coastal topography change at Gulf Islands National Seashore, Texas: 2018–2021 data summary
Authors: Bracewell Jef
Published: May 2022

In the spring of 2018 and 2021, the Gulf Coast Network collected coastal topography data at Gulf Islands National Seashore as a part of the NPS Vital Signs Monitoring Program. Monitoring was conducted following methods detailed in Monitoring Coastal Topography at Gulf Coast Network Parks: Protocol Implementation Plan (PIP; Bracewell 2017). Key findings from this effort are as follows: In Florida, the Perdido Key unit showed higher losses in profile area as well as retreat in dune crest and shoreline position than in the Fort Pickens unit. Because of unfavorable weather conditions and a compressed survey window, six of 16 transects in Mississippi were not surveyed in 2021. The highest rates of loss in profile area on Horn Island were at the western end. Three pilot monitoring transects were added in 2021 at Fort Pickens area, updrift, or east of the Gulf Coast Network's established effort. This expands survey coverage about 3 kilometers (1.9 miles [mi]) and incorporates a portion of the narrower, washover-prone section of the unit. This project is in the early phases of implementation and will benefit from future surveys to better understand the influence of slight changes in survey timing and other environmental variations.

Authors: Magnani Carolina Aparecida Lopes Pereira , Moraes Julia Fernandes , Zanca Gisele Garcia
Published: May 2022

O risco de quedas é uma das principais preocupações quanto à saúde de pessoas idosas. O medo de cair é considerado um dos fatores de risco para quedas e pode estar presente mesmo em idosos que nunca caíram. Há indícios de que o medo de cair possa ser maior em idosos com dor crônica. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar se há diferença no medo de cair entre idosos com e sem dor crônica musculoesquelética. Foram avaliados 30 idosos de ambos os sexos, sendo 20 com dor crônica musculoesquelética (idade média 77,4±9,7 anos) e 10 sem relato de dor (idade média 76,3±8,1 anos). O medo de cair foi avaliado por meio da versão brasileira da Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I). Os escores da FES-I foram comparados entre os grupos por meio do teste de Mann-Whitney, considerando um nível de significância de 5%.  Não foi encontrada diferença significativa (p=0,66) entre os escores da FES-I dos idosos com dor crônica (28,05 ±8,91) comparados aos idosos sem relato de dor (25,27 ±4,84). Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que não há relação entre o medo de cair e a dor crônica entre idosos que vivem na comunidade. São necessários mais estudos com amostras mais representativas para melhor elucidação destas relações e seus mecanismos.

Culture Prison: The Redemption Within Two Walls: An Interpretation of Ashi’s Duor
Authors: Liu Guangyao
Published: May 2022

Based on the gender metaphor of man-woman difference, the cultural concepts of “home-country isomorphism” and “the unity of male and female” have produced one hidden trend and one manifest trend that have overlapped and formed a piece of political, cultural and educational fabric. In this way, an unsurpassable culture prison is established. The gender metaphor of man-woman difference exterminates the spiritual and emotional elements within conjugal union, namely, the “rare” in “How rare it is that human is different from beasts”， thus makes the political, cultural and educational system an inhuman and oppressive system, which has caused human sufferings full of tears and blood. Due to the double closedness of this system, it is impossible to transcend it once being placed in it. The transcending force can only come from outside the fabric: first, it comes from the constant influence of enlightenment to awaken the consciousness of humanity and subjectivity within human persons; second, more fundamentally, it comes from the listening to the holy voice from heaven, which is the final source of spirit and freedom. The short novel “Duor” by Ashi is like an epic, which heavily, peacefully and shockingly describes the cruelty within the culture prison, narrates the agony of the ones unfortunately have fallen in it. Sadly but solemnly and holily, this novel reveals that suffering comes from the love for spirit and freedom, and suffering is the way human persons defeat suffering, obtain redemption and finally reach the heaven of love.
A Thomistic argumentation on creationism in Late Ming China: First juan of the Explanation on the Great Being (Huanyou quan), 1628
Authors: Meynard Thierry
Published: May 2022

Creationism is an important feature of Christianity but seems very foreign to Chinese philosophy. This paper examines an early attempt of introducing a metaphysical account of creationism in Huanyou quan (1628) by the Portuguese Jesuit Francisco Furtado and the Chinese scholar Li Zhizao. It investigates the sources drawn from the works of Thomas Aquinas and reconstructs the choices made by the two authors in their translation. Finally, it suggests that Thomistic creationism bears similarities with Chinese philosophy.

Authors: Xiping Zhang
Published: May 2022

In the research on the history of cultural exchanges between China and the West during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the collection and arrangement of Chinese literature in Western studies is a basic academic work. In recent years, Chinese books of Ming and Qing Dynasties have been published successively in the Jesuit Library, the National Library of Paris, and the Xujiahui Library. The Vatican Library is currently the library with the largest collection of Chinese literature in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This paper studies the sources of Chinese books of Western learning in the Vatican Library, and preliminarily shows the basic characteristics of the Chinese books of Western learning in the Ming and Qing Dynasties stored in the Vatican Library.
The Last Remaining Jesuit in China after Suppression in Europe
Authors: LIU Jingjing
Published: May 2022

This paper will attempt  to show the Jesuits’ situation in China and Russia through Fr Louis de Poirot (1735–1813 賀清泰)’s life. He was the last remaining Jesuit in China (the new Jesuits returned to mainland China on 11 June 1842), and was a link between the Old Jesuits and New Jesuits.The first section will introduce his life in the Chinese court. He was the last of the Western painters who worked for Qianlong along with Father Giuseppe Panzi. The two painters replaced the more famous fathers Giuseppe Castiglione and Jean-Denis Attiret.  He was also in charge of the translation between Latin and Manchu for the diplomatic correspondence between Pekin and Saint Petersburg. He was the first to translate most of the Bible into Chinese and Manchu. The paper will show the attitude of Chinese Emperor and other official’s attitude to the suppression, Did they even care about the suppression of the Jesuits? What’s of any concern to them? The second section will present a precious letter received from Father General Brzozowski written on Sept. 25, 1806 with the help of the Russian ecclesiastical mission. Father General Brzozowski asked whether Fr Louis de Poirot had received Gruber’s permission to rejoin the Society and to enquire about the situation of the other fathers in China and the Chinese church. He also mentioned their attemption to enter China and the Jesuits’ situation all over the world.
Transcending Motivation Barriers in Technology Enhanced Language Learning: A Social Inequalities Perspective
Authors: Brigitta Kaiser Evamaria , Ivancheva Mariya
Published: May 2022

Factors that influence learning are vitally discussed in language learning circles but are rather underexplored in the field of technology-enhanced language learning (hereafter TELL). Considering these factors shall assist with responding to the research question of how technology can enhance language learning by taking into consideration the socio-economic contexts of learners. Through a review of literature across academic fields and seven qualitative interviews with key practitioners in this area from across Europe, we address the issue of the digital divide. We discuss arising challenges for self-expression, self-determination, and autonomy in the social space of language learning due to unequal initial positions of language learners, which co-determine success. Implications for practice and policy include the awareness about these multilayered factors that influence TELL to strive for equality with regards to access to knowledge, learning materials and spaces for learners from different backgrounds.
Holistic View of Pandemic in Integrated Environment: New Variant of COVID Surge in the USA with Holistic Environment Participation in Creating Future More Aggressive Mutants
Authors: Simil Liviu Popa
Published: May 2022

Planet Earth is a little one, and on one side it hosts the continents and on the opposite side is the Pacific Ocean, where the dry land represents 29%, from which 30% are deserts and 20% are mountains, while 50% is used for human activities. An integrated environment includes Earth and humans [1], as part of the Earth’s fauna, and any living creature from few nanometers up the very large ones, having in common pursue of life. The recent planetary SARS-Cov-2 pandemic [2] placed a special stress on the planet, and placed in the lime-light the dominant characteristics and moral values of humans, their incapability to identify a real threat, adapt and prevail. Due to coarse incompatibility of moral values of various nations, with real life values, many nations ended up politicizing the pandemic and having inappropriate preparedness and response, and as a consequence they recorded high losses in human lives and standard of lives. Earth registers a record high of death, of about 7 Million from which USA worth only 4% of Earth’s population contributed with an exceptionally tragic milestone of 1 Million deaths [3]. Due to inappropriate measures to stop the pandemic, the planet slipped into economic troubles as inflation and supply cycles disruption, that set a supplementary pressure to climate challenge, and for some with terrible moral values for which truth is their enemy, needed an escape goat to distract from the real economic and cultural problem and badly needed a new war, in an exacerbation of xenophobia, hypocrisy and misinformation [4]. This new calamity, has good chances of transforming into a nuclear war, where about 10,000 strikes of about 100 Mt-TNT might be applied to northern hemisphere [5]. In the present conditions COVID is embedded in the environment [6], with new variants due to pandemic as delta, O’micron and BA2, and few more, and from environment is given back to humans, and a new surge appeared in Europe with a delay of about 2 mo. from the elimination of all restrictions. This means that by April- May US will be infected again, with a new version escaping previously made vaccines. In the eventuality of a Nuclear War, ignoring the directly affected areas, the presence of heat and then cold, radioactive pollution, will trigger the gain of function of many passive, or dormant viruses, which will find a new ground of reproduction on the hoards affected by the exposure to nuclear warfare, and having handicapped immunity systems [7]. The survivors from the nuclear war will find difficult to survive to the pandemic with radiation enhanced novel viruses and functional structures.

Amphibian biodiversity loss in recent years has exceeded that of all other groups of vertebrates. In this context, biodiversity hotspots represent priority targets for conservation in amphibian populations. However, little information is available on the distribution and conservation status of amphibian species within most biodiversity hotspots. Here, we characterized the distribution and conservation status of four endangered amphibians (Bombina pachypus, Salamandra salamandra gigliolii, Salamandrina terdigitata, and Rana italica) in the Aspromonte Mountain region, a biodiversity hotspot in southern Italy where the conservation status of amphibians is almost unexplored. We conducted an intensive field survey of 507 potential breeding sites spanning over 2.326 km2. We found that all four species were widespread in the study area. We observed 337 species occurrences: 63 for S. s. gigliolii, 29 for S. terdigitata, 84 for B. pachypus, and 161 for R. italica. Species distribution analysis revealed that S. s. gigliolii and R. italica populations had an extended and homogenous distribution. Conversely, S. terdigitata showed a dispersed pattern, with long distances between breeding sites, and B. pachypus an aggregated pattern, associated with the availability of suitable artificial habitats. On the other hand, we reported a decrease in B. pachypus occupancy in its natural habitats, which was related to a negative trend of populations. Overall, our results provide an encouraging framework for the conservation of amphibian populations in this area, but highlight the low coverage of endangered amphibian populations in protected areas, claiming for a reassessment of conservation policies and spatial conservation planning for the Aspromonte region.
Resurrection of Stipa tremula and taxonomy of the high-alpine species from the Stipa purpurea complex (Poaceae, Pooideae)

Published: May 2022

Stipa purpurea is a high-alpine species that occurs in cryophilous steppes, semi-deserts and stony slopes, from the Tian Shan and Pamirian Plateau through Qinghai-Xizang Plateau to the Himalayas and is characterised by a great morphological variability. During the revision of specimens of the taxon, we observed that the pattern of this variability is linked to the geographical distribution of the specimens. Numerical analyses (PCA and UPGMA) revealed three groups of OTUs corresponding to three morphotypes within the S. purpurea complex. A set of macro- and micromorphological characters, supported by a map of general distributional ranges, are presented to distinguish each of the three taxa within the complex and we reassess the status of Lasiagrostis tremula described by Ruprecht in 1869. As a result, Stipa tremula, S. purpurea and S. arenosa were distinguished within the complex. The intermediate characters of S. arenosa may suggest its putative hybrid origin (S. tremula × S. purpurea), whereas the presence of extremely long florets may be an expression of the gigas effect. We propose two new combinations (S. tremula and S. arenosa), describe a new nothospecies (S. × ladakhensis) that originated from hybridisation between S. klimesii and S. purpurea s.l. and designate the lectotype for Ptilagrostis semenovii. An identification key and detailed morphological description of species from the S. purpurea complex are also presented.
