Out of the climatic variables such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloud cover, etc., electricity demand has been found most responsive to changes in temperature [Parkpoom and Harrison (2008); Al-Hamadi and Soliman (2005); Hor, et al. (2005)]. According to National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the decade from 2001 to 2010 was the warmest worldwide while the rise in surface temperatures of South Asia region by the end of the century is projected around 3.3oC average annually (IPCC);1 not only are the average temperatures rising but the range of extreme temperatures is also widening. Increase in temperatures can affect human lives significantly; the present study focusses on examining the impact of climate change on demand for electricity in Pakistan.

A járműgyártás adja a magyar ipari export egyharmadát, ezért fontos elemezni a COVID-19 terjedése miatt kialakuló keresleti-kínálati sokk szektorhatásait. Egyrészt kizsgáljuk, hogy a globális piacok összeomlása milyen termelési, foglakoztatási hatásokat indukált a szektorban, másrészt az új autók eladási statisztikái alapján nyomon követjük a belföldi kereslet rövid távú reagálását is. Elemezzük a vírussal kapcsolatban meghozott távolságtartási intézkedések hatására felvetődő kérdést: vajon lehetséges-e, hogy még ebben a helyhez kötöttnek tartott szektorban is van helye a rugalmas munkavégzésnek. Becslést készítünk a nemzetgazdasági szintű, valamint a járműgyártásra vonatkozó potenciális távmunka arányra. A modellszámítások alapján a járműgyártásban a munkahelyek 21,7%-a lenne elvégezhető távolról, rugalmas módon, ami elég magas, bár a becsült nemzetgazdasági átlag, a 28,7% alatt van. Since the one third of the Hungarian export comes from the automotive industry, it is important to analyze the impact of COVID-19 crisis on demand and supply in this industry. The paper gives a comprehensive picture of production and employment changes and tries to follow up the respond of domestic demand to the crisis relying on sales statistics. Furthermore, the study examines whether there are opportunities to work from home in this industry and finds that the 21,7% of the jobs could be done by working from home, which seems high, but is still below the national average 28,7%.

AbstractThe escalating burden of diabetes is increasing the risk of contracting tuberculosis (TB) and has a pervasive impact on TB treatment outcomes. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the burden of diabetes among TB patients and assess its impact on TB treatment in South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka). PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), and CINAHL databases were systematically searched for observational (cross-sectional, case–control and cohort) studies that reported prevalence of diabetes in TB patients and published between 1 January 1980 and 30 July 2020. A random-effect model for computing the pooled prevalence of diabetes and a fixed-effect model for assessing its impact on TB treatment were used. The review was registered with PROSPERO number CRD42020167896. Of the 3463 identified studies, a total of 74 studies (47 studies from India, 10 from Pakistan, four from Nepal and two from both Bangladesh and Sri-Lanka) were included in this systematic review: 65 studies for the prevalence of diabetes among TB patients and nine studies for the impact of diabetes on TB treatment outcomes. The pooled prevalence of diabetes in TB patients was 21% (95% CI 18.0, 23.0; I2 98.3%), varying from 11% in Bangladesh to 24% in Sri-Lanka. The prevalence was higher in studies having a sample size less than 300 (23%, 95% CI 18.0, 27.0), studies conducted in adults (21%, 95% CI 18.0, 23.0) and countries with high TB burden (21%, 95% CI 19.0, 24.0). Publication bias was detected based on the graphic asymmetry of the funnel plot and Egger’s test (p < 0.001). Compared with non-diabetic TB patients, patients with TB and diabetes were associated with higher odds of mortality (Odds Ratio (OR) 1.7; 95% CI 1.2, 2.51; I2 19.4%) and treatment failure (OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.1, 2.4; I2 49.6%), but not associated with Multi-drug resistant TB (OR 1.0; 95% CI 0.6, 1.7; I2 40.7%). This study found a high burden of diabetes among TB patients in South Asia. Patients with TB-diabetes were at higher risk of treatment failure and mortality compared to TB alone. Screening for diabetes among TB patients along with planning and implementation of preventive and curative strategies for both TB and diabetes are urgently needed.

Entire arrangement progress femtocells characterize a right likely response to the constantly increasing transmission constrain demand of adaptable areas. They could be clearly passed on without requesting a focal expecting to pass on the high information speed orchestrate through aim perfect scope. The Femtocells are low power, actuallesser and cost in real cell base district utilized in the inside condition. Regardless, the impact of the Femtocells is the introduction of the straight Macrocell structure indications impediment issue among the Femtocells also earlier Macrocellsby strategy for they can part of the similar approved rehash run. The Frequency Reuse is a centrality of sending the rehash supply distribution upon station's place to recuperate framework limit. This paper, a fit strategy to develop structure restrict through inter vent ionorganization in the current Femto Macro 2layer systems has been planned. In the planned system, a original rehash saving for 2layersthe cell organizes by systems for rehash reuse technique is utilized wherever Macro base placesallot rehash sub-groups portrayed out for the Femtocells operators on demand based one the Femtocells base places toward stop impedance.
