Employment Aspects of Business Reorganisations

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract This timely new text examines the various employment law issues arising in relation to business reorganisations. Providing guidance on the most difficult practical issues of this complex area, the book is aimed primarily at practitioners working in this area. However, its accessible style ensures wider appeal to non-specialists. The book focuses on the rights and obligations of an employer towards its employees and their representatives when it seeks to reorganise its business. This can include situations where an employer wishes to contract out certain operations (and relevant employees may be transferred to another employer) or where affected employees are retained but reallocated to different jobs and responsibilities. Fully up to date to incorporate the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006, the book details the circumstances where the regulations apply and where they do not, and the full implications to employers in each case. Clearly structured to ensure ease of reference, the book provides separate coverage of collective and individual employment rights and detailed analysis of key issues such as obligations in respect of pension schemes, the definition of redundancy and the right to a redundancy payment, as well as the circumstances where there is no redundancy but where an employee may be fairly dismissed in a reorganisation for “some other substantial reason”. The book also deals with the manner in which employees’ common law rights may be breached and the possible impact of the law of discrimination on a reorganisation. Full attention is given to the underlying UK and European statutory framework and the developing case law in this area.
The Medieval Economy

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In 1393 the Ashikaga Shogunate announced a new tax on moneylenders and sake brewers in greater Kyoto. They would be expected to pay 6,000 kanmon (six million coins) in cash each year to help cover government expenses. Government mints produced huge amounts of copper cash to facilitate commercial activity and pay for the military. Estate communities began getting involved in newly emerging local markets, where they could sell estate produce, buy goods from others, and use imported Chinese coins to facilitate their transactions. Daimyo found that their political and military fortunes depended on access to trade and a strong economic base in their domains, so they devised new ways to assert control over the economy. Sengoku daimyo sought to control the types of currency used in their domains. In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, Japan became one of the world's great silver exporters, providing one-third or more of the silver sold to China.
Resistive switching model for Electrolyte-Oxide-Semiconductor (EOS) structure

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We find that the Electrolyte-Oxide-Semiconductor (EOS) structure, which is utilized a lot in micro/nanofluidic devices, is not perfectly insulated as previously believed. There is a significant leakage current through the insulator, and the I-V relationship shows one-way conductivity like a diode. We build a model considering the implantation of ions under forward bias and formation of conductive filaments in the oxide layer. Samples with oxide layers of different thicknesses and various fabrication processes were tested to verify our hypotheses. This structure provides a simple means to fabricate half-fluidic diodes, and can be utilized for ion detection and current control in microfluidic devices.
Overview and status of the projects funded through the Rural Safety Innovation Program

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Fatalities resulting from traffic crashes are a global problem. The World Health Organization estimates that each year approximately 1.2 million people die as a direct result of traffic crashes, while another 50 million are injured. Without appropriate action, by 2020, road traffic injuries are predicted to be the third leading contributor to the global burden of disease and injury. Globally, a disproportionate number of these transportation fatalities and injuries occur in rural areas. In the United States, rural roads carry approximately 34% of total vehicle-miles traveled, yet annually they account for 56 percent of fatalities. In 2009, rural roads accounted for 19,259 fatalities out of the total 33,808 fatalities on all public roads. To address the challenges of rural safety, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) initiated the Rural Safety Initiative in February 2008. The focus of the Rural Safety Initiative is to highlight available options to help reduce highway fatalities and injuries on the nation’s rural roads. The USDOT recognizes that a range of factors contribute to both the rate of occurrence and severity of crashes in rural areas. They understand that to effectively address the problem, both traditional approaches (e.g., infrastructure improvements) and advanced technologies like ITS are required. Accordingly, funds to support the RSIP were drawn from the Delta Regional Transportation Development Program (DRTDP) and Intelligent Transportation Systems program — two separate, yet complementary programs.
Women Poets and Authors in Late Imperial China

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

One of the most exciting developments in the study of Chinese literature in late twentieth century has been the rediscovery of an extremely rich and diverse tradition of women’s writing of the imperial period (221 bce–1911 ce). Only recently has the enormous literary output of women writers of the Ming and Qing periods (1368–1911) been rediscovered. That women’s writing in traditional China has needed to be rediscovered is caused by two problems. The first lies in its controversial nature: although women found a great venue in writing, poetry especially, to communicate their inner feelings and thoughts, publishing and leaving their writings to later generations did violate the Confucian gender demarcation that confined their voices to within the domestic domain. The second reflected their marginalization by late Qing reformists and the New Culture Movement. Proponents of both views stubbornly adhered to a rigid scheme of historical evolution, and designated late imperial women as oppressed or silenced, thus neglecting and/or suppressing women’s writing. The late imperial period alone left more than four thousand collections of women’s literary works. Together they provide us with moving insights into the lives and feelings of a surprisingly diverse group of women living in Confucian China, a society that perhaps more than any other is known for its patriarchal tradition. Many of these writings are of considerable literary quality. These poets include imperial ladies, gentry women, courtesans, Buddhist and Daoist nuns, as well as commoners such as farm wives. Some women wrote out of isolation and despair, finding in words a mastery that otherwise eluded them. Others were recruited into poetry by family members, friends, or sympathetic male advocates. Some dwelt on intimate family matters and cast their poems as addresses to husbands and sons at large in the wide world of men’s affairs. Each woman had her own reasons for writing poetry and her own ways of appropriating, and often changing, the conventions of both men’s and women’s verse. The primary purpose of this article is to put before the English-speaking reader evidence of the poetic talent that flourished, against all odds, among women in premodern China. It is also designed to spur reflection among specialists in Chinese poetry, inspiring new perspectives on both the Chinese poetic tradition and the canon of female poets within that tradition. The history of women writers in late Imperial China both connects with and departs from the established patterns for women’s writing in the West, thus complementing current discussions of “feminine writing.” This article looks into this grand matter in four sections, namely: General Overviews, Primary Sources on Women Authors, Studies of Women Authors, and Studies on Women and Gender as Historical Background. This bibliographical entry tries to provide in-depth perspectives into the study of late imperial Chinese women poets and authors through recent scholarship.
Simultaneous Update Model of Multiple Service Function Chains Guaranteeing State Consistency

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Service chaining concatenates virtual network functions (VNFs) in the network to automatically process packets in an appropriate order. In a situation where network traffic fluctuates, routes of service function chains (SFCs) need to be updated to achieve users' requirements. States of VNF instances that make up the SFC need to be kept consistent when updating the SFC routes. Existing models update SFCs one by one. If these models are adopted to the update of multiple SFCs, the total time required to update all SFCs can be long; problems such as leaving VNFs out-of-date can occur. This paper proposes a model that determines the update schedule of multiple SFCs guaranteeing state consistency. The objective function is minimizing the total time required to update all SFCs. Numerical results show that the total time required to update all SFCs can be shortened by updating multiple SFCs at the same time. The numerical results also show that the total time can be shortened by dividing a large buffer into an adequate number of small buffers.
An effective algorithm for repeat sequence finding

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Analysis of repeat sequences is an important subject for genomic research.To do this analysis,we have to find all unknown repeat sequences from the whole sequence first.In this paper,we propose a novel projection-assemble algorithm to find these repeats.The algorithm employs random projection algorithm to obtain a candidature segment set,and employs exhaust search algorithm searching each pairs of segments to find potential linkage between them and then assemble them together.The complexity of our projection-assemble algorithm is nearly linear to the length of genomic sequence,and its memory usage is an exponential function to a parameter,which is relative to the length of genomic sequence.But that isn't a serious problem,because to sequences with length up to several decades of millions,this parameter can be set as a constant.We construct a test dataset to examine our algorithm,and the results show that it can find the repeat segments effectively.
Association of ACE Gene Polymorphisms with Coronary Artery Disease in a Northern Area of Japan.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The insertion/deletion DNA polymorphism of the gene coding human angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) was examined in 109 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and 93 non-coronary subjects (NCS) living in a northern part of Japan. The presence of risk factors including age, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, tobacco use, diabetes mellitus and hyperuricemia were also examined. An insertion (I) / deletion (D) polymorphism of the ACE gene was determined by the polymerase chain reaction with oligonucleotide primers encompassing the polymorphic region in intron 16. The template DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes of patients. The frequency of the D-allele in NCS was 0.27, significantly lower than that reported in Caucasians or in Japanese living in the Osaka area. The frequency of the D-allele in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and angina pectoris was 0.39 and was higher than that in NCS. The frequencies of genotypes DD, ID, and II were 17.8, 43.3 and 38.9%, respectively, in CAD except in young patients (below 40 years of age) with MI and AP groups, and 6.5, 40.9 and 52.7%, respectively in NCS (p < 0.05 between CAD and NCS). Young MI showed similar frequencies in ACE gene polymorphisms to those in NCS, a pattern which differed from that seen in subjects with CAD (p < 0.05). The numbers of risk factors did not alter the frequency of ACE gene genotype among patients with CAD, however, in normotensives, the odds ratio of DD-genotype was significantly increased to 3.4. Accordingly, ACE gene polymorphism may be associated with morbidity from CAD in Japanese living in northern Japan as has been noted in Caucasians, despite the lower frequencies of the D-allele in the Japanese population.
Clinical Observation on Effect of Chemical Therapy on Patients with Advanced Colon Cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of CF/5 Fu plus hydroxy camptothecin on advanced colon cancer. Methods: Sixty eight cases advanced colon cancer were randomly divided into two groups: the treatment group offered hydroxy camptothecin plus CF/5 Fu, and the control group offered CF/5 Fu. Results: The overall effective rate of the treatment group was 52.9% and that of the control group 32.4%. There was significant difference between them (P0.05). The incidence of leucopenia of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group. The difference between them was significant (P0.05). Conclusion: CF/5 Fu plus hydroxy camptothecin can greatly improve the efficacy of chemical therapy on patients with advanced colon cancer with tolerable toxicity.
Type B insulin resistance syndrome in a patient with type 1 diabetes

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Summary Type B insulin resistance syndrome (TBIRS) is a very rare autoimmune disorder with polyclonal autoantibodies against the insulin receptor, resulting in severe and refractory hyperglycemia. Described here is a patient who within a few months after the onset of autoimmune type 1 diabetes increased her insulin requirements more than 20-fold; despite this she had considerable difficulty maintaining a plasma glucose value of <40–60 mmol/L (720–1100 mg/dL). On suspicion of TBIRS, the patient was started on tapering dose of glucocorticoids to overcome the autoimmune insulin receptor blockade, resulting in an immediate and pronounced effect. Within days, insulin requirements decreased by 80–90% and plasma glucose stabilized around 7–8 mmol/L (126–144 mg/dL). The presence of antibodies to the insulin receptor was detected by immunoprecipitation and binding assays. After a 4-month remission on low maintenance dose prednisolone, the patient relapsed, which required repeated plasmaphereses and immune column treatments with temporarily remarkable effect. Mixed and transient results were seen with rituximab, mycophenolic acid and bortezomib, but the glycemic status remained suboptimal. Lack of compliance and recurrent infections may have contributed to this. Learning points: Type B insulin resistance syndrome (TBIRS) is a very rare autoimmune disorder with acquired polyclonal autoantibodies against the insulin receptor, resulting in severe and refractory hyperglycemia. We describe here a young patient in whom, a few months after the onset of a regular autoimmune diabetes, insulin requirements in a short time increased more than 20-fold, but despite this, the plasma glucose level could be kept at <40–60 mmol/L only with considerable difficulty. Did this patient have TBIRS? On suspicion of TBIRS, the patient was started on tapering glucocorticoids to overcome the autoimmune insulin receptor blockade, resulting in an immediate and pronounced effect; within days insulin requirements decreased by 80–90% and plasma glucose stabilized around 7–8 mmol/L. The presence of antibodies to the insulin receptor was detected by immunoprecipitation and binding assays. After a 4-month remission on low maintenance dose prednisolone, the patient relapsed, which required repeated plasmaphereses with temporarily remarkable effect. TBIRS should be considered in diabetic patients whose glycemia and/or insulin requirements are inexplicably and dramatically increased.
An MPSK Millimeter-Wave Point-to-Point Link With Radio Over Fiber Synchronous Baseband Receiver

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper reveals a millimeter-wave point-to-point radio link of MPSK (QPSK, 8-PSK, and 16-PSK) modulation without the need of an analog to digital converter (ADC). The proposed point-to-point radio link uses the clock and data recovery (CDR) applied in the optical-electrical converter (OEC) to recover the MPSK intermediate frequency (IF) signals frequency offset as well as the radio over fiber (RoF) concept to extend the transmit distance of the central unit and the remote radio unit. The proposed point-to-point synchronous radio link removes the high-speed ADC requirement for the digital-intermediatefrequency-over-fiber (DIFoF) link, which can significantly reduce the complexity and the expense of the remote radio unit compared with the standard RoF link. Simultaneously, we have designed a simple symbol synchronization algorithm to realize the realtime point-to-point radio link on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The proposed millimeter-wave radio link has successfully demonstrated 6 Gbps QPSK transmission and can tolerate a frequency offset up to 100 MHz.
PERWALIAN (HAK ASUH) ANAK YANG DIBERIKAN KEPADA AYAH AKIBAT PERCERAIAN (STUDI PUTUSAN NOMOR 355/PDT.G/2022/PN JKT.UTR)

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Child’s guardianship given to whom due to a divorce is not strongly regulated, but child custody disputes are decided by courts based on children’s interests. The decision of District Court Number 355/Pdt.G/2022/PN Jkt.Utr decides that the father receives the guardianship of the three children. The issues in this article are whether the judge's legal considerations in awarding custody of the kid to the father conform with Law Number 1 of Year 1974 on Marriage and Government Regulation Number 29 of Year 2019 on Terms and Procedures for Appointing Guardians and whether the guardianship (custodial rights) of the child is given to the father based on the best interest of the child according to best interests as outlined in Law Number 23 of 2002 on Child Protection, as revised by Law Number 35 of 2014. The judge's consideration is incorrect because it must be based on the interests of each child to achieve guardianship goals and be in line with the principle of the child's best interests. Girls should be assigned to mothers based on their interests in puberty, menstruation, physical changes, and feminine concerns. Women's faults as wives cannot be considered since a woman who is not good as a wife is not necessarily bad as a mother. It is preferable to grant the mother primary guardianship of daughters as long as the mother performs her tasks, duties, responsibilities, and obligations appropriately and fairly to protect the child's growth and best interests of the child.
Progress Monitoring for Prerequisite Social Skills: A Generalizability Study For Measure Development

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Social skills are important components of social-emotional functioning that allow children to be successful in both the social and academic spheres of school. A review of social skills intervention literature is presented including issues influencing effectiveness. Concerns associated with assessing the effects of social skills interventions are discussed and a formative assessment tool for behavioral observation is presented. The use of generalizability theory is then examined as a psychometrically based approach to developing a measure for observing social skills. Four prerequisite social skill areas were identified: (a) Attending, (b), Raise Hand, (c) Hands to Self, and (d) Transition. Transition was divided into two components for a total of five observed skills. Students in an elementary school were observed during regular classroom activities on three different occasions for each skill. The reliability of this strategy was evaluated in order to assess the optimal number of occasions and observers needed in order to obtain adequate degrees of reliability. Results identified particular skills that can be observed more reliably than others, and what combination of parameters might lead to optimal reliability. Preliminary descriptive analyses suggest that ethnicity might play a role in student performance of specific skills. Results are discussed in terms of applied use for the measure in school settings for formative assessment and in terms of directions for future research.

MOBILE MAPPING SOLUTIONS FOR THE UPDATE AND MANAGEMENT OF TRAFFIC SIGNS IN A ROAD CADASTRE FREE OPEN-SOURCE GIS ARCHITECTURE

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. The adoption of open-source mobile mapping applications in public administration has risen over the last decade due to their interdisciplinary vocation and flexibility in adapting to existing Geographic Information System (GIS) software architectures. This facilitates complex procedures of data collection and management required for transportation and environmental models, emergency management, and maintenance operations. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport in Italy requires road-owning agencies to build and maintain a mapping inventory of their road networks, including georeferenced information about streets and ancillary elements, such as traffic signs. Innovative and integrated street-level approaches for the rapid mapping of road entities using open-source mobile mapping tools represent a valuable low-cost solution for the periodical update of road entities inventory. The adoption of these tools allows public administrators to easily consult the road inventory even outside the office, conducting in situ validation and quality evaluation. This work presents a case study focused on the update and management of traffic sign entities of the Road Cadastre of the Province of Piacenza (Italy) using Qfield and Open Data Kit (ODK) Collect as alternatives to the previous traditional survey method that consisted in the use of field papers. A comparison between the adoption of the two mobile apps is conducted, identifying benefits and limitations in terms of both data accuracy and usability. Validation scripts, project and form structure were developed with the perspective of making the entire workflow as reproducible and transparent as possible, sharing details in a dedicated GitHub repository.
