| 5861 | Impact of COVID-19 on electricity energy consumption: A quantitative analysis on electricity In addition to the tremendous loss of life due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the pandemic created challenges for the energy system, as strict confinement measures such as lockdown and social distancing compelled by governments worldwide resulted in a significant reduction in energy demand. In this study, a novel, quantitative and uncomplex method for estimating the energy consumption loss due to the pandemic, which was derived from epidemiological data in the beginning stages, is provided; the method bonds a data-driven prediction (LSTM network) of energy consumption due to COVID-19 to an econometric model (ARDL) so that the long- and short-term impact can be synthesized with adequate statistical validation. The results show that energy loss is statistically correlated with the time-changing effective reproductive number (Rt ) of the disease, which can be viewed as quantifying confinement intensity and the severity of the earlier stages of the pandemic. We detected a 1.62% decrease in electricity consumption loss caused by each percent decrease in Rt on average. We verify our method by applying it to Germany and 5 U.S. states with various social features and discuss implications and universality. Our results bridge the knowledge gap between key energy and epidemiological parameters and provide policymakers with a more precise estimate of the pandemic’s impact on electricity demand so that strategies can be formulated to minimize losses caused by similar crises. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 5862 | Factors affecting telepractice use in COVID-19 BACKGROUND: The use of telepractice as an alternate method of delivering healthcare to people increased significantly after COVID-19 became a global pandemic. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify factors contributing to the accelerated adoption of telepractice during COVID-19 in Singapore. It also sought to examine whether there are differences in the perspectives of staff in nursing facilities and caregivers in personal homes towards telepractice. METHODS: A cross-sectional mixed method design was used. A survey with 20 items was adapted from the Telehealth Usability Questionnaire and translated into Mandarin. Anonymous responses were obtained from 70 patients and caregivers who had received speech therapy services via telepractice from a restructured hospital before and/or during Singapore’s Circuit Breaker period. Analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics and content analysis. RESULTS: Sociodemographic variables of age, gender, education level and language preference did not impact user satisfaction and the likelihood of using telepractice again. Service-related factors were more influential. Participants chose to use telepractice as it saved travelling time (24.0%), was easy to use (19.3%), improved healthcare access (17.5%) and reduced waiting time (17.5%). Although all respondents expressed satisfaction in telepractice, 35.5% from personal homes and 37.5% from nursing facilities were not keen to use it again. Amongst caregivers, 26.7% from personal homes and 37.5% from nursing facilities preferred not to continue telepractice use. Technical and logistical disruptions and the lack of ‘personal touch’ were contributing factors. CONCLUSION: Improving technological infrastructure, providing training for users and developing guidelines would help sustain telepractice as a form of service delivery beyond COVID-19. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 5864 | Forecasting COVID-19 cases by assessing control-intervention effects in Republic of Korea: A statistical modeling approach The Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is an ongoing public health concern worldwide. COVID-19 infections continue to occur and thus, it is important to assess the effects of various public health measures. This study aims to forecast COVID-19 cases by geographical area in Korea, based on the effects of different control-intervention intensities (CII). Methods involved estimating the effective reproduction number ( R t ) by Korean geographical area using the SEIHR model, and the instantaneous reproduction number using statistical model, comparing the epidemic curves and high-, intermediate-, and low-intensity control interventions. Here, short-term four-week forecasts by geographical area were conducted. The mean of delayed instantaneous reproduction number was estimated at 1.36, 1.03, and 0.93 for the low-, intermediate-, and high-intensity control interventions, respectively, in the capital area of Korea from July 16, 2020, to March 4, 2021. The COVID-19 cases were forecasted with an accuracy rate of 11.28%, 13.62%, and 20.19% MAPE in Korea, including both the capital and non-capital areas. High-intensity control measures significantly reduced the reproduction number to be less than one. The proposed model forecasted COVID-19 transmission dynamics with good accuracy and interpretability. High-intensity control intervention, active case detection, and isolation efforts should be maintained to control the pandemic. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 5865 | Analog/RF Performance Analysis of a-ITZO Thin Film Transistor This work reports RF and analog performance analysis of an amorphous Indium Tin Zinc Oxide thin film transistor. The various parameters affecting the performance of a-ITZO TFT like drain current, drain conductance, output resistance, transconductance, transconductance generation factor, early voltage, intrinsic gain, capacitances, cut off frequency, maximum frequency of oscillation, transconductance frequency product, gain frequency product, gain bandwidth product and gain transconductance frequency product have been closely examined. The device is further analyzed to investigate the impact of variation in physical parameters viz. dielectric material, dielectric thickness (𝐷𝑡) and temperature (T) on the RF/Analog performance. Use of high-k dielectric material in the simulated structure has resulted in low subthreshold slope (SS) of 0.62 V/decade, On voltage (𝑉𝑜𝑛) of - 0.29 V, 𝐼𝑜𝑛/𝐼𝑜𝑓𝑓 ratio of ~ 10(9), intrinsic gain (A(v)) of 104.5 dB and gain frequency product (GFP) of 1.86 GHz. The best results for dielectric thickness variation are obtained for D(t) of 150 nm with SS of 0.22 V/decade, 𝑉𝑜𝑛 of -0.26 V, 𝐼𝑜𝑛/𝐼𝑜𝑓𝑓 of ~ 10(10), A(v )of 175.69 dB and GFP of 2.39 GHz. In order to investigate device thermal reliability and stability, temperature analysis has also been done. To demonstrate the circuit level implementation of the simulated structure, a resistive load inverter circuit is simulated and analyzed for different variations (high-k, 𝐷𝑡 and T). It has also been concluded that TFT with high-k material or thinner dielectric at T=300 K provides best performance. This analysis confirms the potential of a-ITZO TFTs to realize high performance analog/RF circuits. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 5866 | The Propensity to Patent Digital Technology: Mirroring Digitalization Processes in Germany with Intellectual Property in a European Perspective Digitalization processes are main drivers of innovation activities, so promoting digital technology is priority of economic and industrial policy. Examining digital technology patent surge, the article analyzes German innovation positions in digital technology filings at European Patent Office in 2010–2019. Germany belongs to largest originations with computer technology as major field. Compared with USA and China, it finds in second innovation league and loses ground. Chinese strengths derive from specialization advantages in digital technologies.

| 5883 | Awake Regional Anesthesia for Upper Limb Orthopedic Surgery During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Tips, Tricks and Results BACKGROUND: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19 illness, is mainly transmitted because of close contact with respiratory droplets and airborne particles. Aerosol-generating procedures during general anesthesia can increase the risk of COVID-19 transmission. An effective alternative to general anesthesia for upper limb orthopedic surgery is regional anesthesia (RA) using brachial plexus block. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-eight patients who received a brachial plexus block for upper limb trauma and elective operations before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, from 2017 to 2020, were included in this study. A protocol was devised for patient positioning, draping and equipment positioning for each location group—shoulder and upper arm; elbow and forearm; and distal extremities. RESULTS: RA was effective for upper limb surgery in 77 of 78 (98.7%) patients. Sixty-five patients (83.3%) were discharged the same day, with the average time from leaving the operating theater to discharge from hospital of 2.8 hours. No postoperative complications were recorded, and no patient nor staff member contracted COVID-19 infection 2 weeks after the operation. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate the efficacy of awake RA for upper limb orthopedic procedures. We share our tips and tricks for implementing this into clinical practice and discuss the specific advantages of RA in the context of the COVID-19 global pandemic. | N/A | 2021 | | CORD-19 |
| 5884 | SARS-CoV-2 helicase NSP13 hijacks the host protein EWSR1 to promote viral replication by enhancing RNA unwinding activity Objective Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in December 2019 and has led to a global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Currently, incomplete understanding of how SARS-CoV-2 arrogates the host cell to establish its life cycle has led to slow progress in the development of effective drugs. Results In this study, we found that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks the host protein EWSR1 (Ewing Sarcoma breakpoint region 1/EWS RNA binding protein 1) to promote the activity of its helicase NSP13 to facilitate viral propagation. NSP13 is highly conserved among coronaviruses and is crucial for virus replication, providing chemical energy to unwind viral RNA replication intermediates. Treatment with different SARS-CoV-2 NSP13 inhibitors in multiple cell lines infected with SARS-CoV-2 effectively suppressed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Using affinity-purification mass spectrometry, the RNA binding protein EWSR1 was then identified as a potent host factor that physically associated with NSP13. Furthermore, silencing EWSR1 dramatically reduced virus replication at both viral RNA and protein levels. Mechanistically, EWSR1 was found to bind to the NTPase domain of NSP13 and potentially enhance its dsRNA unwinding ability. Conclusion In conclusion, our results pinpoint EWSR1 as a novel host factor for NSP13 that could potentially be used for drug repurposing as a therapeutic target for COVID-19. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 5887 | Amyloid and Hydrogel Formation of a Peptide Sequence from a Coronavirus Spike Protein [Image: see text] We demonstrate that a conserved coronavirus spike protein peptide forms amyloid structures, differing from the native helical conformation and not predicted by amyloid aggregation algorithms. We investigate the conformation and aggregation of peptide RSAIEDLLFDKV, which is a sequence common to many animal and human coronavirus spike proteins. This sequence is part of a native α-helical S2 glycoprotein domain, close to and partly spanning the fusion sequence. This peptide aggregates into β-sheet amyloid nanotape structures close to the calculated pI = 4.2, but forms disordered monomers at high and low pH. The β-sheet conformation revealed by FTIR and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy leads to peptide nanotape structures, imaged using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and probed by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The nanotapes comprise arginine-coated bilayers. A Congo red dye UV–vis assay is used to probe the aggregation of the peptide into amyloid structures, which enabled the determination of a critical aggregation concentration (CAC). This peptide also forms hydrogels under precisely defined conditions of pH and concentration, the rheological properties of which were probed. The observation of amyloid formation by a coronavirus spike has relevance to the stability of the spike protein conformation (or its destabilization via pH change), and the peptide may have potential utility as a functional material. Hydrogels formed by coronavirus peptides may also be of future interest in the development of slow-release systems, among other applications. | ACS Nano | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 5888 | A Review in Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) Production Processes in the Petrochemical Industry Linear alkylbenzene (LAB) is a cost-effective and biodegradable intermediate in the production of detergents and surfactants. Recently, due to the spread of the Coronavirus and the high global need for detergent, the production of LAB is essential. Kerosene is the raw material of linear paraffin with high purity, which are finally converted to linear olefins by dehydrogenation. The linear mono-olefins react with benzene in the existence of the catalyst to produce LAB which is used to produce linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), as a biodegradable detergent. The main methods for the production of LAB, including HF and Detal processes were studied and compared with each other. In Detal method, many compounds such as zeolites and metal oxides have been used to make solid catalysts with selectivity, long life, economic efficiency and high safety. Nowadays, most LAB production units have used the Detal process. In this review, the production of LAB was investigated, the influential factors and the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of each method were also investigated. The product quality, process economics, sales market, and the quantitative and qualitative properties of LAB have also been investigated. Also, the exact mechanism of LAB production by HF acid was described. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 5889 | Geospatial View of Air Pollution and Health Risk Over North Indian Region in COVID-19 Scenario Air pollutant concentration, air quality index (AQI), and Excess risk (ER%) is assessed during January 2020 to June 2021 and in three scenarios including pre-lockdown, lockdown and post-lockdown based on 47 ground station data (during January 2020 to June 2020) distributed over northern part of India (including Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, part of Uttar Pradesh, and part of Rajasthan) using statistics and geographic information system (GIS) techniques. Daily and monthly variations of air pollutants (During January 2020 to June 2021) over the region showed a systematic pattern with high pollutant level during October and November while low during March, April (in dry period) and July–September (in wet period). In three scenarios viz. pre, during and post-lockdown the average concentration for PM(2.5) was 71.1 ± 45 µg/m(3), 39 ± 20 µg/m(3) and 40 + 17 µg/m(3), for PM(10) was 139 ± 72 µg/m(3), 96 ± 55 µg/m(3) and 105 ± 57 µg/m(3), for NO(2) was 28 ± 21 µg/m(3), 17 ± 13 µg/m(3) and 18 ± 12 µg/m(3), for NH(3) was 33 ± 24 µg/m(3), 25 ± 18 µg/m(3) and 29 ± 22 µg/m(3), for CO was 1 ± 0.65 mg/m(3), 0.7 ± 0.5 mg/m(3), and 0.7 ± 0.5 mg/m(3), for O(3) was 29 ± 20 µg/m(3), 39 ± 23 µg/m(3) and 39 ± 22 µg/m(3) and for SO(2) was 14 ± 11 µg/m(3), 14 ± 12 µg/m(3) and 12.5 ± 8.9 µg/m(3). Significant decrease in mean pollutants concentration, AQI and ER % was observed in lockdown period amid COVID-19. PM(2.5), PM(10), NO(2), NH(3) and CO decreased by 46%, 31%, 39%, 24% and 34%, respectively, in lockdown scenario as compared to the pre-lockdown scenario while the O(3) get increased. A decrease of 39% in AQI was observed as compared to pre-lockdown scenario; however, the difference was less when compared with post-lockdown scenario. The decrease in total ER% was 60.36% over the study area due to improvement in air quality over the region amid COVID-19 lockdown. The meteorological conditions in 2020 were found consistent with respect to 2019 and very less influence was observed on the concentration of air pollutants (less r(2) among the pollutants and meteorological parameters).

| 5890 | How Many Single Rulebooks? The EU's Patchwork Approach to Ensuring Regulatory Consistency in the Area of Investment Management The principle of consistency has undergone a remarkable evolution in the European Union (EU) from a mere political objective to a justiciable constitutional principle of EU law. In the area of financial regulation, regulatory consistency plays a particularly salient role as it is considered a prerequisite for preserving financial stability. In the wake of the 2007/2008 financial crisis, EU policy makers coined the concept of the Single Rulebook, highlighting the importance of a consistent and unified regulatory framework for the EU financial sector with a view to completing the Single Market in financial services and ensuring financial stability. This article examines the progress made towards achieving the Single Rulebook in the area of investment management over a decade after the financial crisis. The post-crisis EU legislation in this area follows a patchwork approach with a multitude of Level 1 and Level 2 directives and regulations that largely rely on the contrived legal form and labels to determine the applicable rules. This form-over-substance approach has created a complicated regulatory regime that is often detached from actual risks for investors and financial stability and thus fails to achieve the overarching policy goal of ensuring regulatory consistency. The central argument put forward in this article is that the Single Rulebook would be better achieved with a substance-over-form approach that addresses substantially similar investor protection and financial stability risks in a consistent manner. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 5893 | Analysis of the Spatio-Temporal Variation of the Thermal Pattern of River Ganges in Proximity to Varanasi, India The temperature of a river is a fundamental aspect of its water quality and has a bearing on its ecosystem to a greater extent. Therefore, in systematic planning for optimal stream monitoring programs involving the determination of location at monitoring stations, understanding this crucial thermal parameter is much desired. This would help to give an integrated scenario regarding physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring in the river ecosystem. Water quality parameters of the river such as dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity get affected due to change in river thermal patterns. In this study, the Landsat-8 TIR sensor was used to study spatial and temporal variations of river temperature. Thermal bands of 23 cloud-free Landsat-8 images from June 2013 to November 2020 were processed to prepare thermal maps of a stretch of river Ganges at Varanasi, India. The work has been validated by in-situ temperature measurement with a portable thermal sensor having high accuracy (± 0.1 °C). A good correlation (R(2) = 0.927 and RMSE = 0.956) was observed between the sensor's estimated temperature and the in-situ temperature. The results exemplify that water surface temperature at confluence points was relatively higher due to the incoming effluents than the mid-river temperature. The ‘confluence point 3’ has the least relative temperature variation. The relative temperature variation has been more prominent for the month of February in comparison to June and November. Owing to the time series data availability and worldwide coverage of the Landsat-8 satellite, the present work provides a promising strategy for studying the thermal patterns in other rivers. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 5894 | Abdominal imaging in ICU patients with viral pneumonia: Are findings in COVID-19 patients really different from those observed with non-SARS-CoV-2 viral pneumonia? Purpose To evaluate and compare the prevalence and type of abdominal involvements identified on CT scans in COVID-19 critically ill patients to those observed in critically ill patients with non-SARS-CoV-2 viral pneumonia. Methods Monocentric IRB approved retrospective study comparing all abdominal CT scans performed for patients admitted in the ICU with COVID-19 and those performed in a historical cohort of ICU patients with non-SARS-CoV-2 viral pneumonia. For each patient, gallbladder abnormality, acute pancreatitis signs, acute adrenal infarction, renal infarcts, bowel wall thickening and CT scan signs of bowel ischemia were assessed. Results were then compared between critically ill COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients (Chi-2 or Fisher exact tests for categorical data and Student t-test or Mann-Whitney U test for continuous data as appropriate). Results Ninety-nine COVID-19 patients and 45 non-COVID-19 patients were included. No difference was found between the rate of abnormal findings comparing COVID-19 patients and patients with other viral pneumonia (63/99 [64%] vs 27/45 [61%], p=0.94). Acute pancreatitis signs were more commonly seen in COVID-19 patients but without statistically difference between groups (14/99 [14%] vs 3/45 [6.7%], p=0.31). Bowel wall thickening was slightly more commonly seen in patients with other viral pneumonia (18/99 [18%] vs 11/45 [24%], p=0.52), however ischemic features were observed in higher rate in the COVID-19 group, although without reaching statistically significant differences (7/99 [7.1%] vs 2/45 [4.4%], p=0.75). Conclusion The rate and severity of abdominal involvement demonstrated by CT in ICU patients hospitalized for COVID-19 although high were not different to that observed in patients with other severe viral pneumoniae | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 5895 | National Innovation Systems in Low-Income and Middle-Income Countries: Re-evaluation of Indicators and Lessons for a Learning Economy in Senegal The National Innovation System (NIS) approach exists today in multiple terminologies, through a variety of conceptualizations all seeking to provide real means of action to public decision-makers on the issue of innovation, knowledge and economic development. This approach was originally defined by and for high-income countries and not for low- and middle-income countries. Based on the classification of the countries of the World Bank on the Gross National Income of the countries studied, our article proposes to focus on the relevant indicators, not predefined upstream, in order to measure and evaluate the systemic innovation of the low- and middle-income countries, from a learning economy perspective. To answer this, we propose a qualitative model that we validate in the case of Senegal. A low-income economy, it draws most of its efforts not in terms of S&T but more broadly in its learning policy, its reforms on higher education or proposals on entrepreneurship. These efforts are commendable in an economy where macroeconomic conditions are holding back its growth. The originality of our research relates to the implementation of these indicators and the lessons it brings to Senegal on the richness of the exploitation of capacities and skills as a vector of a learning economy. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 5897 | An Integrated Decision-Making Approach Based on q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets in Service Industry This study defines key issues for sustainable healthcare policy in COVID-19 period. For this purpose, 9 different criteria that affect vaccine hesitancy are selected with the help of a detailed literature evaluation. A novel hybrid fuzzy decision-making model is developed using DEMATEL and TOPSIS based on q-Rung orthopair fuzzy sets. A comparative evaluation has also been performed using IF DEMATEL and PF DEMATEL. The results of all different methods are almost the same that indicates the reliability and coherency of the proposed model. The findings demonstrate that religion is the most critical factor that causes vaccine hesitancy. It is also defined that active population in daily life is the most important alternative. Developing countries should mainly focus on the actions regarding the religious issues to have sustainable healthcare policies in COVID-19 period. In this context, religious leaders can be released to the media and give information that the vaccine is not against religious rules. This has a significant contribution to convince people who are against the vaccine. Furthermore, these countries should also give priorities to the active population in daily life. Because this group supports the workforce in the country very seriously, it can be possible to increase the workforce in the country by completing the vaccination of this group that helps to boost economic development. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 5898 | Suspicious activity recognition for monitoring cheating in exams Video processing is getting special attention from research and industries. The existence of smart surveillance cameras with high processing power has opened the for making it conceivable to design intelligent visual surveillance systems. Know a day it is very possible to assure invigilators safety during the examination period. This work aims to distinguish the suspicious activities of students during the exam for surveillance examination halls. For this, a 63 layers deep CNN model is suggested and named L4-BranchedActionNet. The suggested CNN structure is centered on the alteration of VGG-16 with added four blanched. The developed framework is initially turned into a pre-trained framework by using the SoftMax function to train it on the CUI-EXAM dataset. The dataset for detecting suspicious activity is subsequently sent to this pre-trained algorithm for feature extraction. Feature subset optimization is applied to the deep features that have been obtained. These extracted features are first entropy coded, and then an ant colony system (ACS) is used to optimize the entropy-based coded features. The configured features are then input into a variety of classification models based on SVM and KNN. With a performance of 0.9299 in terms of accuracy, the cubic SVM gets the greatest efficiency scores. The suggested model was further tested on the CIFAR-100 dataset, and it was shown to be accurate to the tune of 0.89796. The result indicates the suggested frameworks soundness. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
