Career Consequences of Taking Parental Leave : Do Women Fare Better Than Men?

Anil Verma,Jing Wang 피터드러커 소사이어티 2009 창조와 혁신 Vol.2 No.2

This study investigates the consequences of taking parental leave, for both men and women, on promotions received in the year following the leave. Using unique longitudinal data from the Canadian Workplace & Employee Survey (WES) collected from both employees and their workplaces, it finds that in an earlier cohort (2001-2002), women were 14-percentage points more likely to receive a promotion after returning from a parental leave compared to men who also went on parental leave. We speculate that men pay a heavier penalty because taking parental leave does not fit in with their gender-assigned role within organizations. In a later cohort (2003-2004) this effect becomes statistically insignificant and this change is attributed to a change in public policy that allows people to take a much longer parental leave. These findings emphasize the need for organizations to create a "level playing field" by creating a culture within which all employees would feel welcome to take advantage of work-life balance benefits.

Trinary asymmetric cascaded H bridge (1:3:9) multilevel inverter with self-balanced capacitor

Yarlagadda, Anil Kumar,Verma, Vimlesh The Korean Institute of Power Electronics 2022 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.22 No.9

A single-phase trinary asymmetrical cascaded H-bridge (TACHB) inverter with a level doubling network (LDN) is proposed in this paper. It consists of a LDN and 'n' H bridges, where 'n' represents the number of DC sources. The TACHB-LDN generates N number of levels at the output voltage using log₃(${\frac{N+1}{2}}$) DC sources, 4+4 log₃(${\frac{N+1}{2}}$) switches, and a capacitor. The TACHB-LDN gives an improved power quality output when compared with the conventional trinary CHB inverter for a given number of DC sources. A detailed comparison analysis with existing topologies is presented to show the superiority of the proposed topology. The TACHB-LDN is verified in MATLAB/Simulink for the generation of a 17-level output voltage with two DC sources. The phase disposition level shift pulse width modulation (PD-LSPWM) technique is used to generate the required triggering pulse for the converter. The carrier frequency is considered to be the fundamental frequency to ensure low-frequency switching. Conduction and switching loss are analyzed with the help of PSIM software. The obtained simulation results are verified through a prototype model developed in the laboratory using dSPACE 1104. The total harmonic distortion (THD) of the 17-level output voltage waveform is found to be below 5% (IEEE 519 Standard). The efficiency of the prototype model under different loads is observed to be in the range of 93.65-97.35%.

Globalization, Logics of Action, International Labor Standards and National Government Roles

Sarosh Kuruvilla,Anil Verma 한국노동연구원 2004 노동정책연구 Vol.4 No.2

우리는 이전 논문(Frenkel and Kuruvilla, 2002)에서 한 국가의 고용관계는 세 개의 서로 다른 작동의 논리(logics of action), 즉 경쟁의 논리, 노사평화의 논리, 그리고 고용-소득 보호의 논리 간의 상호작용에 의한다고 주장한 바 있다. 또한 이러한 작용 논리들의 실제 움직임을 몇몇 아시아 국가에서 찾아보았으며, 노사관계 시스템의 변화는 결국 어느 한 논리로부터 다른 논리로의 변화에 기인한다는 것을 보여주었다. 이번 논문에서는 노사관계 시스템의 배경이 되는 이러한 논리들이 국제노동기준 및 노사관계의 수렴(convergence)과 관련해 어떻게 작동하는지 살펴본다. 우선, 국제노동기준에 대한 여러 접근방법들을 간단히 살펴보고, 각국 정부들의 새로운 역할에 관하여 논한다. 우리는 이러한 새로운 역할이 각국 정부들로 하여금 서로 경쟁적인 두 개의 서로 다른 논리에 대한 수요들 사이에 적정한 균형을 찾게 해줌으로써 국제노동기준을 강화하는 데 큰 역할을 할 것이라고 주장한다. 물론, 이러한 접근방법에 문제가 없는 것은 아니지만, 국제노동기준에 관한 수많은 불완전한 접근방법들 중에 그래도 각국 정부의 새로운 역할을 규명하는 데 가장 적절하다고 믿는다. In an earlier article, (Frenkel and Kuruvilla, 2002) we argued that the interplay between three different logics of action, i.e., the logic of competition, the logic of industrial peace, and the logic of employment-income protection determines the employment relations pattern in any given nation. We demonstrated the operation of this logic of action framework in selected Asian countries. We also demonstrated that changes in one logic to another underlie changes and transformations in industrial relations systems, with evidence form Asian countries. In this article, we examine how the logics underlying industrial relations systems play out in terms of the international labor standards debate, in and of itself a force for convergence in industrial relations. We briefly describe the different approaches to the regulation of international labor standards, and then argue for a new role for national governments. We argue that this new role shows potential for significantly enhancing progress in international labor standards, since it enables governments to balance between the demands of two competing logics. Of course, this approach is not without its own problems, but in the context of numerous imperfect approaches to the international labor standards issue, we feel that it is appropriate to revisit the role of national governments.

Vipin Kumar Verma,Salma Malik,Ekta Mutneja,Anil Kumar Sahu,Vaishali Prajapati,Prashant Mishra,Jagriti Bhatia,Dharamveer Singh Arya 한국실험동물학회 2024 Laboratory Animal Research Vol.40 No.1

Background: High blood glucose levels in diabetes lead to vascular inflammation which accelerates atherosclerosis. Herein, Morin was orally administered in male Wistar rats, at the dose of 40 mg/kg for 28 days, and on the 27th and 28th day, ISO was administered to designate groups at the dose of 85 mg/kg s.c., to induce myocardial infarction. Results: Free radical generation, including ROS, in diabetes following ISO administration, leads to the activation of both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of apoptosis. Morin significantly (p ≤ 0.05) reduced oxidative stress (GSH, MDA, SOD), cardiac injury markers (CK-MB, LDH), inflammation (TNF, IL-6), and apoptosis (Bax, BCl2, Caspase-3). In addition, it also reduced insulin and blood glucose levels. Akt/eNOS, Nrf2/HO-1, MAPK signaling pathways, and Insulin signal transduction pathways were positively modulated by morin pre-treatment. Conclusions: Morin attenuated oxidative stress and inflammation and also modified the activity of various molecular pathways to mitigate cardiomyocyte damage during ISO-induced MI in diabetic rats.

Prognostic value of TNF-a-308 and IFN-g-874 single nucleotide polymorphisms and their plasma levels in patients with aplastic anemia

Shukla Saurabh,Tripathi Anil Kumar,Verma Shailendra Prasad,Awasthi Nidhi 대한혈액학회 2020 Blood Research Vol.55 No.4

Background Aplastic anemia (AA), an unusual hematological disease, is characterized by hypoplasia of the bone marrow and failure to form blood cells of all three lineages resulting in pancytopenia. This study aimed to investigate TNF--308 and IFN--874 gene polymorphisms and their respective plasma protein levels in patients with AA and healthy controls. Methods Two hundred and forty individuals were included in this study; the case group comprised 120 AA patients, while 120 healthy individuals served as controls. Genotyping was performed using the PCR-restriction length fragment polymorphism method and TNF--308 and IFN--874 plasma levels were evaluated using an ELISA kit. Results There was a significantly higher prevalence of the IFN--874 genotype in patients with AA than in healthy controls, while the TNF--308 genotype was associated with lower risk of developing AA. Furthermore, the levels of both TNF--308 and IFN--874 were higher in the plasma of AA patients. Conclusion Our findings suggest that the IFN--874 genotype may be a greater risk factor in the causation of AA, whereas the TNF--308 genotype has a protective role in the North Indian population.

Background/Aims The prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) varies from 4% to 20% in different Asian nations. Prevalence of IBS in native North Indian community is not known. Methods Between November 2008 to December 2009, we estimated the prevalence of IBS in a rural community of Ballabgarh block, located in Haryana state. A structured questionnaire based on Rome Ⅲ module was used to collect symptoms related to IBS from all the participants in a door to door survey. A Rome Ⅲ criterion was used for diagnosis of IBS. IBS was further classified based on predominance of symptoms as constipation predominant, diarrhea predominant, mixed and unspecified based on Rome Ⅲ module. Results There were 4,767 participants (mean age 34.6±10.8, males 50%). Overall, 555 (11.6%; 95% CI, 10.7-12.5) had constipation, 542 (11.4%; 95% CI, 10.5-12.3) diarrhea and 823 (17.3%; 95% CI, 16.2-18.4) abdominal pain. The overall prevalence of IBS was 4% (95% CI, 3.5-4.6). The prevalence of constipation predominant IBS was 0.3% (95% CI, 0.16-0.49), diarrhea predominant IBS 1.5% (95% CI, 1.18-1.90), mixed IBS 1.7% (95% CI, 1.35-2.11) and unsubtyped IBS 0.5% (95% CI, 0.32-0.75). The prevalence of IBS was significantly higher in females compared with males (4.8% vs 3.2%, P=0.008). However, there was no significant difference between males and females in the prevalence of different subtypes of IBS. The prevalence increased with age. Conclusions The prevalence of IBS in a North Indian community is 4%. IBS poses a significant burden on the rural adults. (J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2011;17:82-87)

An Identity-based Ring Signcryption Scheme: Evaluation for Wireless Sensor Networks

Sharma, Gaurav,Bala, Suman,Verma, Anil K. The Institute of Electronics and Information Engin 2013 IEIE Transactions on Smart Processing & Computing Vol.2 No.2

Wireless Sensor Networks consist of small, inexpensive, low-powered sensor nodes that communicate with each other. To achieve a low communication cost in a resource constrained network, a novel concept of signcryption has been applied for secure communication. Signcryption enables a user to perform a digital signature for providing authenticity and public key encryption for providing message confidentiality simultaneously in a single logical step with a lower cost than that of the sign-then-encrypt approach. Ring signcryption maintains the signer's privacy, which is lacking in normal signcryption schemes. Signcryption can provide confidentiality and authenticity without revealing the user's identity of the ring. This paper presents the security notions and an evaluation of an ID-based ring signcryption scheme for wireless sensor networks. The scheme has been proven to be better than the existing schemes. The proposed scheme was found to be secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext ring attacks (IND-IDRSC-CCA2) and secure against an existential forgery for adaptive chosen message attacks (EF-IDRSC-ACMA). The proposed scheme was found to be more efficient than scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks reported by Qi. et al. based on the running time and energy consumption.
