Changes in workplace accommodations among employed Canadians with disabilities, 2017 to 2022 by Christoph Schimmele, Sung-Hee Jeon, Rubab Arim

“…Work arrangements changed during the COVID-19 pandemic, as organizations switched to working from home on a large scale and used digital technologies to adapt to physical distancing mandates (Deng et al., 2020; Fuentes & Lindsay, 2023). About 20% of all employed Canadians aged 15 to 69 years were working primarily from home near the end of 2023, an increase from 7% shortly before physical distancing measures began in March 2020 (Morissette, 2024). …”

Polarization-based puncturing pattern selection of shortened Polar code by Shunlan LIU, Aiming HU, Jianrong BAO

“…In order to solve the problem of inflexible Polar code length,a new puncturing pattern selection scheme based on feedback cost puncturing was proposed to generate shortened Polar codes.In this scheme,the Polarization effect was reserved,the sub-optimal subchannel was selected as the cost bit,the output bit corresponding to the cost bit was used as the puncturing pattern,and then the value of the cost bit is adjusted by feedback to obtain the shortened Polar code.Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed shortened Polar code is better than that of the shortened Polar code generated by bit-reversal permutation method,and the shortened Polar codes generated by direct puncturing method at the end under different channel and code rate conditions,and slightly weaker than that of the shortened Polar code proposed by Wang R and Liu R et al.In the AGWN channel,when the block error rate is 10^-3,the proposed shortened Polar code with a code rate of 0.5 can obtain a gain of 0.5 dB compared with the shortened Polar code generated by bit-reversal permutation method,and the coding performance is greatly improved.…”

“…Fracture of the coracoid process is uncommon, and most previous studies have reported this fracture occurring in association with direct trauma to the shoulder or transmission of force from the upper arm or elbow (Ada and Miller 1991, Benton and Nelson 1971, Eyres et al. 1995). We present a case in which epiphyseal fracture occurred at the origin of the conjoined tendon following excessive muscle contraction. …”
