4803 | Moving toward decoupling and collective resilience? Assessing US and Japan's economic statecraft against China Facing a rise in great power competition, states are increasingly paying attention to economic statecraft; that is, using economic means to pursue national security and foreign policy goals. Factors such as asymmetric interdependence in the global economy and information networks, the rapid development of dual-use technologies, and the shift of US foreign policy doctrines from liberalism to geopolitics have contributed to the rise of economic statecraft. Regarding China as an opponent in high-tech and geopolitical competition, the US is on the one hand continuously strengthening coercive economic statecraft against China, especially through technological “decoupling.” On the other hand, the US is seeking to unite the so-called like-minded countries to build technological and supply chain coalitions that exclude China. As an ally of the US, Japan is imitating and following the US, while also emphasizing the protection and development of its own “strategically indispensable” industries, striving to maintain a balance between preventing technology leakage and maintaining exports to China. While coercive economic statecraft weakens and contains opponents, it will also harm the US itself as well as its allies. In the future, the US and Japan will further strengthen economic statecraft targeting China, but implementation is likely to be rational and balanced, in an effort to secure “competitive coexistence” with China. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
4804 | A second-order numerical scheme for the time-fractional partial differential equations with a time delay This work proposes a numerical scheme for a class of time-fractional convection–reaction–diffusion problems with a time lag. Time-fractional derivative is considered in the Caputo sense. The numerical scheme comprises the discretization technique given by Crank and Nicolson in the temporal direction and the spline functions with a tension factor are used in the spatial direction. Through the von Neumann stability analysis, the scheme is shown conditionally stable. Moreover, a rigorous convergence analysis is presented through the Fourier series. Two test problems are solved numerically to verify the effectiveness of the proposed numerical scheme. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
4805 | Colorism and employment bias in India: an experimental study in stratification economics In this paper, we examine whether the prevalence of colorism in India can be linked to discrimination in hiring for people with darker skin shades. Colorism or preference for lighter skin tones has a long history primarily linked to colonialism in parts of Asia and Africa. More recently, this preference for lighter skin has become amplified by growing and global whitening product industries dominated by multinational corporations. In India, the industry has tried to link lighter skin to economic success, specifically labor market success. However, the existence of such a link is yet to be explored given the lack of skin tone–specific data in the global context. We implemented an experimental survey design in India to overcome this lack of data. Participants in our study were asked to evaluate job candidates on the basis of unchanging resumes paired with photographs manipulated to vary skin tones. We did not find a statistically significant bias in favor of resumes paired with lighter-skinned photographs. Overall, participants tended to evaluate both lighter-skinned and darker-skinned candidates similarly. Our findings suggest that colorism in India cannot be easily linked to direct instances of hiring discrimination. Differential outcomes due to preference for skin color though might operate in other economic contexts beyond entry into employment. It may also exist in social contexts like marriage and family or health outcomes and in situations where beauty ideals are more relevant. Our findings provide an important counter-narrative to the skin whitening industry’s worrisome efforts to expand their consumer base by linking lighter skin to economic success. Our methodology also provides new directions for future research on colorism, an important new global frontier in stratification economics. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
4806 | The Current Territorial Differentiation of the Industry of Irkutsk Oblast This article discusses recent changes in the development of industrial production in Irkutsk oblast from 2010 to 2019. Industry is the basic component in the economic complex; it provides about half of the region’s gross added value and is characterized by a multi-sectoral structure formed primarily on the basis of using natural resources and cheap electricity. It is pointed out that in the last decade, a significant change in the structure of industry has led to a structural simplification of its sectoral composition with a significant shift toward the raw materials sector. Cities remain the leading centers of concentration of the manufacturing industry. The grouping of municipalities according to the level of industrial development was carried out according to the available statistical data: the calculated share of the employed in industry and the volume of shipped products of large and medium-sized organizations. On the basis of their ratio, groups of regions with intensive development of the extractive industries, primarily the oil and gas sector, as well as territories in which the industrial profile was formed in Soviet times but underwent transformations under the influence of changes in the market, were identified. A group of regions with very low industrial development has been identified, in which economic activities are mainly related to agriculture, logging, transport, and tourism. It is shown that some of the municipalities have changed their position in the groups when compared to 2010. The rest of the composition is relatively stable. It was found that in the first and fourth groups a change in priority in the development of types of economic activity occurred, whereas the second and third groups show a change in their proportions. Large business contributes to the extremely uneven distribution of investments across the oblast in the implementation of investment projects. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
4807 | An In Silico investigation for acyclovir and its derivatives to fight the COVID-19: Molecular docking, DFT calculations, ADME and td-Molecular dynamics simulations In the present work, we have designed acyclovir (A), ganciclovir (G) and derivative of hydroxymethyl derivative of ganciclovir (CH2OH of G, that is D) and investigated its potential against the Mpro of nCoV. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of A, G and D were performed using Gaussian 16 on applying B3LYP under default condition to investigate the delocalization of electron density in their optimized geometry. Free energy of A, G and D were calculated in Hartree per particle. It can be seen that D has the least free energy. Further, the molecular docking of the A, G and D against the Mpro of nCoV was performed using iGemdock and the binding energy for A, G and D were calculated in kcal/mol. It can be seen the D showed effective binding, that is maximum inhibition. For a better understanding of the inhibition of the Mpro of nCoV by A, G and D, temperature dependent molecular dynamics simulations were performed. Various trajectories like RMSD, RMSF, Rg and hydrogen bond were extracted and analyzed. The results of molecular docking corroborate the MD simulations and D could be a promising candidate against Mpro of nCoV. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

4812 | The burden of COVID-19 pandemic on tuberculosis detection: a single-center study BACKGROUND: Since being declared a global pandemic, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) took over healthcare providers and researchers’ interest. However, other epidemic diseases, including tuberculosis (TB), are still a health issue that aggravate under the umbrella of health facilities exhaustion. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tuberculosis management. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the quarterly reports issued by a tuberculosis management unit from 2017 to June 2021, including data of 12 subunits. The changes in pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis incidence trends (new + relapsed cases) throughout the 4 years were reported. The quarterly changed percentages in cases numbers along 2020 and first half of 2021 was compared with that of the same periods in 2019. RESULTS: Incidence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis was higher than pulmonary tuberculosis throughout the 4 year study periods (7.69 vs. 4.49, 9.44 vs. 4.33, 7.75 vs. 3.58, and 7.82 vs. 2.94/100.000 population, respectively) with a noticeable decline in the incidence of pulmonary TB during 2020. The second quarter of 2020 showed the lowest tuberculosis incidence rate with a 41.6% decline in the total number of diagnosed cases while 2nd quarter of 2021 showed 21.2% decline. During 2020, only 4 cases of multidrug-resistant TB were reported (compared to an average of 8 cases of MDR-TB yearly before the COVID-19 era). CONCLUSION: There was a noticeable drop in tuberculosis case detection during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdown, started in Egypt by the end of March 2020, could contribute to the marked drop in the second quarter. However, a steady partial decline was continued during the first half of 2021, which foretells a growing problem. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

4814 | The role of customer personality in premium banking services This paper examines the effects of customer personality, trust, and satisfaction on customer loyalty in premium banking services. Based on a survey of 210 high-net-worth premium banking customers, the study found that the customer personality dimensions of conscientiousness, extroversion, and agreeableness affected trust, while extroversion affected satisfaction. Trust displayed a significant influence on both satisfaction and customer loyalty, while satisfaction partially mediated the effect on customer loyalty via trust. The findings can help managers of affluent banking services understand the important dimensions of customer personality in relational exchanges and develop relevant relationship management strategies to deliver satisfaction and enhance customer loyalty. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

4817 | The clinical and functional characteristics of bronchiectasis among tuberculosis patients in Upper Egypt: a single-center study BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) is considered one of the most common causes of bronchiectasis. Bronchiectasis increases clinical and financial burden of patients with TB. Here, we aim to assess the prevalence of bronchiectasis and its characteristics in patients with TB. RESULTS: Over 1 year duration, 85 patients with confirmed TB were enrolled in the study. Those patients were clinically, laboratory, and radiologically evaluated. Any patient with other chest diseases was excluded from the study. Out of those patients, 19/85 (22.4%) patients had bronchiectasis. It was found that patients with bronchiectasis had higher frequency of urban residence, current cigarette or goza smoking, and diabetes mellitus. Hemoptysis and expectoration were the most frequent symptoms. Pulmonary function tests were significantly impaired in patients with bronchiectasis. Disease burden was significantly higher among bronchiectasis group in form of frequent hospitalization, longer hospital stay, and need of oxygen therapy. CONCLUSION: Bronchiectasis is not uncommon among TB patients. Co-existence of bronchiectasis with TB has distinctive clinical, and functional characteristics that increase the burden of the diseases in the form of prolonged hospital stay and higher utilization of antibiotics and oxygen therapy. Smoking in tuberculous patients may is significantly associated with bronchiectasis. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
4818 | Corporate investment and government policy during the COVID-19 crisis We investigate the impact of the US government response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including stringent social measures and economic support packages, on corporate investment. The empirical results show that despite the overall decreased investment due to the economic impact of the pandemic, the government response to COVID-19 and economic supports have a positive effect on corporate investment after subtracting the impact of the pandemic on firm-level investment. We find that the impact of economic support packages on corporate investment is stronger than that of health containment policies. Further analyses show that the effect is weak in firms with higher levels of political risk and investment irreversibility, while being more pronounced in firms with higher technology intensity. Our findings provide fresh insights into the firms’ reaction to the government policies during the pandemic and suggest that both social measures and economic support are vital to restoring corporate investment as well as the economic recovery process. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
4819 | Advancing Global Biodiversity Governance: Recommendations for Strengthening the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework ABSTRACT: Reversing ecosystem degradation and halting global biodiversity loss due to climate change and other anthropogenic drivers are essential for socioeconomic development and human wellbeing, as well as for advancing global sustainability. The latest initiative in this direction is the ‘Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework’, which establishes a blueprint for global coordinated action towards development of national and regional strategies targeting conservation and sustainable utilization of biodiversity. By supporting the notion of ‘ecological civilization’, it emphasises the need for transformative strategies to conserve, monitor and sustainably manage ecosystems by 2030. Arguably the articulation of fit-for-purpose goals and targets is a key precondition for achieving this vision by enhancing cooperation and influencing the development of implementation strategies and regulatory instruments at national and local levels. The present Policy Analysis critically reviews the key features of the draft Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and suggests recommendations to further strengthen it.

4823 | Statistical modeling for COVID-19 virus spread in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Netherlands The aim of this work is to develop a new outstanding lifetime distribution, dubbed the Power Bilal (PB) distribution. Both of the pdf and cdf of the Power Bilal distribution have a simple forms. The suggested distribution’s moments, incomplete moments as well as the quantile function are deduced and acquired in explicit forms as a result of its simple forms. Seven estimation methods for estimating the Power Bilal distribution parameters are mentioned, and numerical simulations are used to compare the proposed approaches using partial and overall ranks. According to the results of this work, the Anderson-Darling estimators are advised to estimation the parameters of the Power Bilal distribution. We shows the importance and flexibility of the Power Bilal distribution by comparing it to other existing competing distributions using two different real data-sets from COVID-19 mortality rates of two countries. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
4824 | Networking and knowledge creation: Social capital and collaborative innovation in responding to the COVID-19 crisis This study empirically explores the role of social capital in creating collaborative innovation and collective intelligence and maintaining organisational sustainability in the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis. Data were collected from a sample of 289 managers, directors and heads of departments of top 50 manufacturing firms in Jordan and analysed using Smart-PLS-SEM. The results indicate that social capital significantly impacts collaborative innovation, collective intelligence and organisation sustainability during the COVID-19 crisis. They also reveal that collective intelligence significantly impacts collaborative innovation and organisation sustainability. This study enriches the literature on social capital, collaborative innovation and collective intelligence. It elucidates the role of such dynamic capabilities in maintaining both organisational sustainability and the chance of recovery from unprecedented crises. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
4825 | A full-process intelligent trial system for smart court In constructing a smart court, to provide intelligent assistance for achieving more efficient, fair, and explainable trial proceedings, we propose a full-process intelligent trial system (FITS). In the proposed FITS, we introduce essential tasks for constructing a smart court, including information extraction, evidence classification, question generation, dialogue summarization, judgment prediction, and judgment document generation. Specifically, the preliminary work involves extracting elements from legal texts to assist the judge in identifying the gist of the case efficiently. With the extracted attributes, we can justify each piece of evidence’s validity by establishing its consistency across all evidence. During the trial process, we design an automatic questioning robot to assist the judge in presiding over the trial. It consists of a finite state machine representing procedural questioning and a deep learning model for generating factual questions by encoding the context of utterance in a court debate. Furthermore, FITS summarizes the controversy focuses that arise from a court debate in real time, constructed under a multi-task learning framework, and generates a summarized trial transcript in the dialogue inspectional summarization (DIS) module. To support the judge in making a decision, we adopt first-order logic to express legal knowledge and embed it in deep neural networks (DNNs) to predict judgments. Finally, we propose an attentional and counterfactual natural language generation (AC-NLG) to generate the court’s judgment. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
4826 | Intelligent Privacy Protection of End User in Long Distance Education Long distance education is an important part during the COVID-19 age. An intelligent privacy protection with higher effect for the end users is an urgent problem in long distance education. In view of the risk of privacy disclosure of location, social network and trajectory of end users in the education system, this paper deletes the location information in the location set to protect the privacy of end user by providing the anonymous set to location. Firstly, this paper divides the privacy level of social networks by weighted sensitivity, and collects the anonymous set in social networks according to the level; Secondly, after the best anonymous set is generated by taking the data utility loss function as the standard, it was split to get an anonymous graph to hide the social network information; Finally, the trajectory anonymous set is constructed to hide the user trajectory with the l-difference privacy protection algorithm. Experiments show that the algorithm presented in this paper is superior to other algorithms no matter how many anonymous numbers there are, and the gap between relative anonymity levels is as large as 5.1 and 6.7. In addition, when the privacy protection intensity is 8, the trajectory loss rate presented in this paper tends to be stable, ranging from 0.005 to 0.007, all of which are less than 0.01. Meanwhile, its clustering effect is good. Therefore, the proportion of insecure anonymous sets in the algorithm in this paper is small, the trajectory privacy protection effect is good, and the location, social network and trajectory privacy of distance education end users are effectively protected. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
4827 | Changing tracks: identifying and tackling bottlenecks in European rail passenger transport For Europe's urban agglomerations to be economically competitive, it is vital that international destinations be easily accessible. Although much has been invested in the construction of European rail infrastructure over the past century, passenger transport by rail has not grown as fast as transport by road and air. So why do people not use international trains more, even though they have an extensive international rail network at their disposal? Based on a series of in-depth interviews with relevant public and private stakeholders and two expert meetings, we identify the main bottlenecks and constraints. In order to understand the complexity of international rail transport, we have divided the existing bottlenecks into four groups corresponding to four layers of the rail transport system: mobility services, transport services, traffic services, and the physical and digital infrastructure. We formulate concrete policy recommendations for improvements to be made in the various components of the rail transport system. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
