Authors: M Rajesh S , Kumara Dr S A Vasantha
Published: March 2023

Abstract: This paper examined the impact of employee’s family atmosphere and their financial position on productivity in small scale industries (SSI). The extensive literature review revealed that the study of impact of employee’s family atmosphere on Productivity in Indian Small Scale Industries (SSIs) has been less addressed and hence this study. A research survey instrument was designed ,tested for reliability and responses were collected with a convenient random sample of 383 employees of Indian small scale manufacturing industries. The instrument was tested for reliability with an acceptable Cronbach’s alpha of 86%. The analysis and results of the study revealed that, the employee’s family atmosphere, physical and mental health affects the productivity to a high level. The employees with higher educational qualification than the required qualification and the number of employee’s dependents does not affect the productivity.

Variational quantum solutions to the Shortest Vector Problem
Authors: Albrecht Martin R. , Prokop Miloš , Shen Yixin , Wallden Petros
Published: March 2023

A fundamental computational problem is to find a shortest non-zero vector in Euclidean lattices, a problem known as the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP). This problem is believed to be hard even on quantum computers and thus plays a pivotal role in post-quantum cryptography. In this work we explore how (efficiently) Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices may be used to solve SVP. Specifically, we map the problem to that of finding the ground state of a suitable Hamiltonian. In particular, (i) we establish new bounds for lattice enumeration, this allows us to obtain new bounds (resp. estimates) for the number of qubits required per dimension for any lattices (resp. random q-ary lattices) to solve SVP; (ii) we exclude the zero vector from the optimization space by proposing (a) a different classical optimisation loop or alternatively (b) a new mapping to the Hamiltonian. These improvements allow us to solve SVP in dimension up to 28 in a quantum emulation, significantly more than what was previously achieved, even for special cases. Finally, we extrapolate the size of NISQ devices that is required to be able to solve instances of lattices that are hard even for the best classical algorithms and find that with approximately 103 noisy qubits such instances can be tackled.

Propuesta de privatización del BCR: Mitos y realidades sobre la banca pública y la banca privada en Costa Rica
Authors: Vargas Solís Luis Paulino
Published: March 2023

La propuesta de privatización del Banco de Costa Rica (BCR), hizo que, en los últimos meses de 2022, fuese necesario revisitar la vieja polémica sobre el papel y los aportes de la banca pública en Costa Rica, relativamente a los que ofrece la banca privada. En particular, el propio presidente Chaves alimentó la polémica al justificar su propuesta, asegurando que la banca privada es más eficiente que la pública, y que un BCR privado daría mejores aportes de los que entrega siendo público. Por otra parte, tales afirmaciones reiteran un lugar común, sólidamente instalado en el discurso neoliberal dominante en Costa Rica. Esas manifestaciones del presidente Chaves inspiraron este trabajo, para intentar contestar una pregunta muy básica: ¿realmente la banca privada es más eficiente y da frutos de mayor provecho social que la pública? Este artículo demuestra que eso es falso.

120 GHz 2-bit reflection-type phase shifter based on PIN diodes switched-lines.
Authors: OUATTARA DAVID , DURAND Cedric , Bourdel Sylvain , PAILLARDET Frederic , Vincent Loïc , CORSI Jordan , Ferrari Philippe
Published: March 2023

In this paper, a 2-bit digital reflection-type phase shifter working at
120 GHz is presented. It uses a compact coupled-lines coupler with low
insertion loss and high isolation over a wide bandwidth. The loads are
made by a microstrip-line loaded by three PIN diodes whose states are
tuned ON/OFF to obtain 90°, 180° and 270° phase shift relative to the
reference (0°). Measurement results show RMS phase and amplitude error
equal to 10.3° and 1.2 dB, respectively. The maximum insertion loss is
equal to 8.6 dB, leading to a figure of merit of 31°/dB. As shown by
simulation, by flipping PIN diodes and use negative voltage for biasing,
the maximum insertion loss could be reduced to 3.6 dB (figure of merit
of 75°/dB) along with a great improvement in RMS phase and amplitude
errors, thus showing the potential of the proposed architecture.
A Robust Routing Strategy based on Deep Reinforcement Learning for Mege Satellite Constellations
Authors: Chu Ke , Cheng Sixi , (GE) Zhu Lidong
Published: March 2023

The development of mega constellations inevitably brings various
problems for the development of routing techniques. Most of the existing
work considers end-to-end delay and load balancing problems, while the
analysis of routing strategies in case of link performance degradation
is neglected, and an optimization approach applicable to mega satellite
networks is not developed. In this letter, we propose a robust routing
strategy based on deep reinforcement learning (RRS-DRL) that regards the
Age of Information (AoI) of packets as an optimization target, and
ensures the effectiveness of message transmission throughout the
network. Extensive simulation results show that our proposed RRS-DRL
algorithm obtains a lower average AoI across the network and better
utilization of the resources than the traditional shortest path
algorithm, significantly increasing the robustness of the constellation.

Into the Ice: Exploration and Data-Capturing in Glacial Moulins by a Tethered Robot
Authors: Polzin Max , Hughes Josie
Published: March 2023

Glacial moulins (cylindrical meltwater drainage shafts) provide valuable
insights into glacier dynamics, but are inaccessible and hazardous
environments for humans to study. Exploring using passive sensor probes
has revealed the complex geometry of moulins, however, exploration has
been limited. To overcome these challenges, we propose a tethered robot
capable of autonomously exploring and capturing data in glacial moulins.
Our novel robot is equipped with a tether to support its motion.
Combined with novel estimation and control algorithms, the tethered
robot is able to safely and efficiently maneuver in confined,
chimney-like structures such as moulins. Laboratory and field
experiments confirm the feasibility of the proposed design, showing
successful localization in environments with no access to positional
measurements. Field trials on the Mer de Glace glacier demonstrate the
robot’s capabilities, descending into the largest moulin to depths of
25m and using onboard sensors to reconstruct the moulin shape. Two
sampling mechanisms are presented and evaluated to extract samples from
the icy surface of the moulin. Our results show promising potential for
future exploration of moulins, demonstrating the effectiveness of our
tethered robot for safely gathering data from these hazardous
environments.
Narrowband Perfect Absorber Based on Metal-Dielectric-Metal Stacks for Mid-IR Optical Gas Sensing
Authors: GUO WANG , YANG WEI , RUI YOU , QING ZHU
Published: March 2023

Mid-infrared absorbers based on metamaterials are investigated
intensively for gas detection applications, owing to its ability to
achieve excellent light absorption by manipulating electromagnetic
waves. Herein, we present a metamaterial absorber for the ultra-compact
optical gas sensor. This absorber has 99.9% absorption at 6.2 μm. The
full width at half-maximum of the peak was 720 nm. As a sensor, the
absorber had an average linear spectral sensitivity of 876 nm/RIU and a
detection limit of 1.141×10-5 RIU, when the RI of the gas medium varied
between 1 and 1.05. The designed absorber would have great potential
application in guiding the design of optical gas sensors.
TRENDS IN THE MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY OF COVID-19 IN DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUPS AND GENDER IN A LARGE BRAZILIAN CITY
Authors: Cunha A. , Nascimento João Henrique Fonseca do , Andrade André Bouzas de , Gusmão-Cunha André
Published: March 2023

As the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak spread, evidence has
emerged that gender and race would bear a disproportionate impact on the
morbimortality of COVID-19. Here, we conducted a retrospective
observational study using the TabNet/DATASUS platform of the city of São
Paulo. COVID-19 records from March 2020 thru December 2021 were
included, and we evaluated the temporal trends of confirmed cases and
case fatality rate by gender and ethnicity. Statistical analysis was
performed using the R-software and the BioEstat-software, considering
p<0.05 significant. From March/2020 to December/2021,
1,315,160 COVID-19 confirmed cases were recorded (57.1% females), and
2,973 deaths were due to COVID-19. Males presented higher median
mortality (0.44% vs 0.23%; p<0.05) and ICU admission rates
(0.34% vs 0.20%; p<0.05). Men were also associated with a
higher risk of death (RR=1.28; p<0.05) and a higher chance of
requiring ICU care (RR=1.29; p<0.05). The black ethnicity was
associated with a higher risk of death (RR=1.19; p<0.05).
White patients were more likely to require ICU admission (RR=1.13;
p<0.05), whereas browns were associated with a protective
effect (RR=0.86; p<0.05). Further, men presented a higher
chance of death than women across the three major ethnic groups: whites
(RR=1.33; p<0.05), blacks (RR=1.24; p<0.05), and
browns (RR=1.35; p<0.05). In this study of COVID-19 in São
Paulo, men were associated with worse outcomes, including in the three
major ethnicities in the population. Blacks exhibited a higher risk of
death, whites were more likely to require intensive care, and browns
were at protection from ICU hospitalization.
Radiographic and computed tomographic features of a subarachnoid diverticulum causing compressive cervical myelopathy in a yearling warmblood horse: a case report
Authors: Olszewska Agnieszka
Published: March 2023

A one-year-old Belgian warmblood with a previously known history of
successfully repaired temporal and parietal bone fracture sustained at
14 days of age was presented for investigation of a recent, acute, and
progressive four limbs ataxia. The owner reported a lack of coordination
and difficulty getting up with progressing paresis two weeks prior to
the presentation. Neurological examination revealed pronounced
hypermetria/dysmetria in walk and trot in all four limbs. No evidence of
cranial nerve deficit was observed. The horse was in good general
condition with unremarkable clinical parameters. Survey lateral
radiographs of the cervical spine showed moderate to severe signs of
cervical malformation of the vertebral canal and articular process
joints, indicating cervical stenotic myelopathy. Cervical computed
tomographic (CT) myelography revealed the presence of a dorsal
subarachnoid diverticulum causing significant spinal cord compression at
multiple locations, with associated osteoarthrosis of the cervical
articular process joints. Due to a poor prognosis and warranted surgical
outcome, the owner declined further treatment, and the horse was
discharged with conservative corticosteroid treatment. The patient was
euthanised shortly after the initial presentation due to progressive
worsening. To the author’s knowledge, CT myelography findings in a
yearling with cervical subarachnoid diverticulum have not been
previously published. This case illustrates the usefulness of advanced
imaging techniques, such as CT myelography, in combination with static
and dynamic radiography to provide a better and more accurate diagnosis.
Video Consultations in Reproductive Medicine: safety, feasibility and patient satisfaction
Authors: Tsampras Nikolaos , Craciunas Laurentiu , Dearden Michael , Sood Akanksha , Mathur Raj
Published: March 2023

Objective: To study the safety and feasibility of virtual consultations
in reproductive medicine. Design: This was a descriptive cross-sectional
study involving subfertile patients attending a video consultation
between September 2021 and August 2022 at St. Mary’s Hospital in
Manchester, UK. Clinicians conducting virtual consultations during the
same period responded to a parallel survey for healthcare professionals.
Subjects: Subfertile patients attending a virtual consultation.
Healthcare professionals conducting virtual consultations. Exposure: The
survey link was offered in 4,932 consultations. A total of 577 (11.69%)
patients responded and 510 completed the questionnaire (88.3%). Main
Outcome Measures: Patient satisfaction measured as the percentage of
patients preferring virtual to in person consultations. Results: The
majority of the patients (475, 91.70%) had a positive experience with
the video consultation and just under half of the patients (152,
48.65%) preferred a video consultation to an in person consultation due
to cost and time savings. Most patients (375, 72.68%) felt safer and
less exposed to COVID-19. When the risk of COVID-19 subsides, 242
patients (47%) would still prefer to attend video consultations, while
169 (32.82%) had no preference. Analysis of the responses from patients
reporting a negative experience identified technical problems as a
possible cause. The virtual consultations appeared to be suitable for
patients with disabilities. The clinicians’ survey identified potential
legal and ethical concerns. Conclusion: Virtual consultations are a safe
and feasible alternative to in person consultations for subfertile
patients. This large cross-sectional study revealed a high rate of

Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies dysgalactiae (SDSD), also known as Lancefield group C streptococcus, is a pathogen found in animals. It is known to cause pyogenic infections in animals and is one of the most common pathogens that can cause mastitis in cattle. Very few reports of SDSD causing human diseases to have been reported in the literature, but we report a case of community-acquired meningitis and pyogenic ventriculitis caused by SDSD. This report is the first case of SDSD causing a central nervous system (CNS) infection in humans and aims to raise awareness about the role of SDSD in CNS infections. It also seeks to promote the recognition of this bacteria as a potential cause of invasive diseases.

Cavernous-carotid artery (CCA) aneurysms represent about 3-5% of all intracranial aneurysms. Spontaneous thrombosis of a CCA aneurysm with simultaneous occlusion of its parent vessel is an extremely rare phenomenon with few reported cases in the literature offering different management strategies. A 54-year-old Asian female presented with a one day-history of painless left eye conjunctival injection, proptosis, and features of cavernous sinus syndrome (cranial nerve III, IV, V1, V2, and VI palsies). Imaging revealed a giant thrombosed CCA aneurysm measuring 3.6cmx3.4cm with complete thrombosis of the left cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) and adequate collaterals from the anterior and posterior communicating artery and branches of the left external carotid artery. Management was conservative with antiplatelet therapy and close clinical-radiological follow-ups. The outcome was satisfactory. Data in the literature on this condition is limited due to its exceedingly rare occurrence. The majority of patients do well via a conservative approach and surgery is rarely indicated. For clinically stable patients, especially those with adequate collateral circulation and tolerance to Balloon Test Occlusion, we advocate for a conservative approach and initiation of anti-platelet therapy to treat these patients. Emphasis is needed on close serial clinicalradiological surveillance in these cases to monitor the propagation of the thrombus as well as the development of new and/or enlarging pre-existing aneurysms in the contralateral ICA circulation.
Evidence-Based Public–Private Collaboration in the Health Sector: The Potential for Collaborative Governance to Contribute to Economic Recovery from COVID-19 in Asia
Authors: Eggleston Karen N.
Published: March 2023

This South Asia Working Paper explores the benefits and trade-offs of harnessing private sector health services as governments look to build more resilient, accessible, and affordable health systems and support the post-pandemic recovery. It considers why governments must continuously decide whether to produce or buy-in services, analyzes how public-private collaborations can bolster the social sector, and explores how these helped governments respond to the pandemic and its aftermath. Outlining the role ADB can play, the paper recommends governments adopt an evidence-based approach, encourage private sector involvement in healthcare provision, and bolster collaborative governance to strengthen their health systems.

El burnout académico es una respuesta a los estresores relacionados con los estudios. El objetivo de esta investigación fue examinar si el efecto de la práctica de activación refresh, que es una meditación activa que a través de la respiración, el movimiento, la música y la visualización busca renovar la energía, es favorable para el diagnóstico de burnout académico. La intervención consistió en ocho semanas de práctica de activación refresh. Y para medir su impacto, se utilizó la Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) antes y después de este periodo. Los participantes eran estudiantes de licenciatura de 5.o semestre o superior. El grupo experimental estuvo compuesto por 36 estudiantes (Medad = 22.08, SD = 1.66) y el grupo control por 29 estudiantes (Medad = 21.62, SD=1.65). Los resultados mostraron que, tras la intervención, los estudiantes del grupo experimental presentaron niveles más bajos de burnout en comparación a su evaluación previa y a la evolución del grupo de control. Esto sugiere que la activación refresh podría funcionar como una estrategia de afrontamiento a los estresores académicos para la prevención y reducción del burnout académico.
