EVALUATION ON CONSISTENCY BETWEEN HJ-1 CCD AND TM IMAGES IN MONITORING FRACTIONAL GREEN VEGETATION COVER
No full textThe fractional green vegetation cover (Fc) is an important climate model parameter. Remote sensing technique has become one of the most effective means to acquire vegetation dynamics information. The CCD cameras onboard HJ-1 satellites (Environment and Disaster monitoring and forecasting Satellite constellation) are advanced in revisit frequency and image coverage compared with Landsat TM. This study aims to assess the capability of HJ-1 CCD images in monitoring of Fc in terms of comparing with the widely used TM images. The quality of HJ-1 CCD is compared with the same temporal TM image in two aspects: the image statistical analysis and the image application analysis. After the comparison between the HJ-1 CCD image and TM image of the same area. The results show a high level of uniform between HJ-1 and TM images. Therefore, the conclusion may be drawn that the HJ-1 CCD image is feasible and suitable for Fc monitoring.Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicGeosciences, MultidisciplinaryRemote SensingEICPCI-S(ISTP)
Sociocultural concepts of pandemic influenza and determinants of community vaccine acceptance in Pune, India
No full textVaccines are considered one of public health’s greatest achievements. Yet, public concerns and hesitancy towards acceptance of vaccines has been noted around the world for various vaccines. Limited vaccine uptake against influenza A (H1N1) was a problem during the 2009-2010 pandemic. Ensuring the ability to rapidly produce large quantities of an efficacious vaccine has been a focus of pandemic preparedness at the global and national levels. Notwithstanding the importance of these preparedness measures, its availability and clinical efficacy alone may not be sufficient for the vaccine to be effective at a community level.
Culture has a powerful influence on the understanding of sickness and illness-related behaviour. The framework of cultural epidemiology used in this thesis integrates the local validity of anthropology and the explanatory power of epidemiology to clarify the cultural basis of vaccine hesitancy and acceptance.
Despite cross-cultural differences and an acknowledged need for country-specific studies, relatively little research has focussed on pandemic influenza vaccine hesitancy in lower income settings. A mixed-methods research study was conducted in urban and rural Pune, a hotspot of the influenza pandemic in India. The aim was to study local sociocultural features of illness and determinants of pandemic influenza vaccine acceptance from a community perspective.
This work is a contribution to global advances in the study of vaccine hesitancy and it underscores the value of sociocultural study and community preferences in planning effective vaccine action

VALIDATION FOR THE ABSOLUTE RADIOMETRIC CALIBRATION OF THE HJ-1B CCD SENSORS OF CHINA
No full textOn September 6, 2008, the satellite HJ-1B was launched into a sun-synchronous, near-polar orbit. In order to determine temporal changes of the absolute radiometric calibration of the HJ-1B satellite in flight, a program was carried out at DunHuang calibration field, Gansu province of China, from August 19 to 30, 2009. In this work, reflectance -based calibration method was employed to simulate the absolute calibration coefficients of the HJ-1B CCD sensors. Then the cotton field, cement court, water pool and test site was selected to validate the calibration coefficient. The validation results indicated that there had a good agreement between the imaged-based reflectance and the ground measurement of the type of cement court and test site. On the other hand, there had a disagreement of the type of cotton field and water because of the effect of mixed pixel.Geosciences, MultidisciplinaryRemote SensingEICPCI-S(ISTP)
Public responses to infectious diseases outbreaks: the role of emotions
No full textBACKGROUND: Infectious disease outbreaks account for significant global costs in human lives, social implications, and financial burden. It is considered possible to minimise the consequences of catastrophic viral outbreaks through advance preparation and effective communication. To prepare effectively, it is important to understand the political, social, economic and cultural factors that impact on the epidemic spread and shape human responses and action. Despite the capacity of human emotions to influence all these issues, they have been largely neglected in public health. AIM: To ascertain if there are emotional determinants impacting population responses to infectious diseases outbreaks and understand how such emotions are influenced by the social and wider determinants related to the local context where outbreaks emerge. METHODS: A systematic review that explores the differences in public responses by emotion, infection, outcome and region, and five in-depth case studies of infectious diseases outbreaks at a national level to understand how responses are shaped by the local and global context of the time. FINDINGS: There are emotional determinants that influence public responses to epidemics and pandemics and impact on the uptake of interventions. To improve the effectiveness of public health communications in the face of emerging outbreaks, certain important messages emerged in my research, including the need to disrupt the power dynamics of “top-down” communications, build trust between global and local actors (as well as with governments), and harness the potential role of traditional media and social media for good and connection. Which emotions are evoked through public health communications is also important, as fear and panic were shown to be counterproductive in promoting uptake of interventions, but worry and empathy emerged as key motivators for action. CONCLUSIONS: Both in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and for future emerging infectious diseases outbreaks, emotions need to be considered in crisis communications
Caregivers’ decision-making about childhood seasonal influenza vaccination in three provinces in China: A mixed-methods study
No full textYearly seasonal influenza vaccination for children 6 months to 5 years of age is recommended by the World Health Organization. However, the uptake of influenza vaccine among preschool children aged (usually ≤ 6 years old) was hardly satisfactory. This PhD study aimed to identify and characterize the factors that influence the decision-making process of caregivers with regards to childhood (6-60 months) influenza vaccination in China and help inform the development of behavioural change intervention to promote the childhood influenza vaccination in China. To conduct this program of research, I employed a mixed-methods approach throughout the study phases, which included: 1) systematic literature reviews on influencing factors of childhood influenza vaccination, 2) quantitative analyses of large-scale population data on determinants of childhood influenza vaccination in three provinces in China, 3) qualitative analyses to explore the reasons for caregivers' perception about influenza and vaccines, and how caregivers perceive and understand the communication on influenza vaccine, and finally 4) a mixed-methods evaluation to explore the influencing factors of healthcare workers’ recommendation for non-EPI vaccines in China. The systematic reviews identified factors influencing caregivers’ decision on childhood influenza vaccination. Using the survey data, caregivers’ confidence in the influenza vaccine, positive influence from healthcare workers, family members, or friends and access to vaccination service were found to be associated with childhood vaccine acceptance. Some caregivers confused the common cold with influenza and thought that vaccines are not effective in preventing the constantly mutating virus. Therefore, targeted efforts should be made to address caregivers’ misperception about influenza and influenza vaccine. Additionally, the communication about vaccines between caregivers and professional information sources, such as healthcare workers, is inadequate. The multi-level ecosystem around non-EPI vaccination should be improved to optimize the communication between healthcare workers and the public

MONITORING OF DEGRADING GRASSLAND BASED ON HJ-1A-HSI IMAGE
No full textGrassland is one of the most important parts of ecosystem on the earth. In China, one of the best grass lands is degrading because of draught or effects of human activity. It is important to monitor the growing condition of degrading grasslands. LAI is an important variable which can accurately represent the growing situation of grass. With DSD method, hyper-spectral images from HJ-1A satellite are used to inverse LAI accurately by restraining the effect of background. In this paper, multi spectral image was used to retrieve LAI with BRDF method for comparing. The maps of LAI and degradation level in study area were made. According to the results, the DSD method can retrieve LAI of grassland accurately and the HSI image of HJ-1A is a potential ideal data source for monitoring grassland.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000345638900196&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicGeosciences, MultidisciplinaryRemote SensingCPCI-S(ISTP)
