Sensitivity of endemic behaviour of COVID-19 under a multi-dose vaccination regime, to various biological parameters and control variables
No full textFor an infectious disease such as COVID-19, we present a new four-stage vaccination model (unvaccinated, dose 1 + 2, booster, repeated boosters), which examines the impact of vaccination coverage, vaccination rate, generation interval, control reproduction number, vaccine efficacies and rates of waning immunity upon the dynamics of infection. We derive a single equation that allows computation of equilibrium prevalence and incidence of infection, given knowledge about these parameters and variable values. Based upon a 20-compartment model, we develop a numerical simulation of the associated differential equations. The model is not a forecasting or even predictive one, given the uncertainty about several biological parameter values. Rather, it is intended to aid a qualitative understanding of how equilibrium levels of infection may be impacted upon, by the parameters of the system. We examine one-at-a-time sensitivity analysis around a base case scenario. The key finding which should be of interest to policymakers is that while factors such as improved vaccine efficacy, increased vaccination rates, lower waning rates and more stringent non-pharmaceutical interventions might be thought to improve equilibrium levels of infection, this might only be done to good effect if vaccination coverage on a recurrent basis is sufficiently high

Estrés en el Trabajo y Rendimiento Laboral en el Personal de la Municipalidad del Centro Poblado de Chenchen 2018
Get PDFEl presente estudio tiene como objetivo determinar la relación entre el Estrés en el trabajo y el rendimiento laboral en el personal de la Municipalidad del Centro Poblado de Chenchen, 2018. A su vez la hipótesis planteada es existe relación inversa entre el Estrés en el trabajo y rendimiento laboral en el personal de la
Municipalidad del Centro Poblado de Chenchen, 2018.
El estudio tiene un diseño transversal correlacional la técnica aplicada es la encuesta y como instrumento el cuestionario, con una población de 36trabajadores que corresponden a dicha red, por tanto, la muestra es el 100% de la población con un muestreo censal.
Los resultados encontrados del estudio se tiene que existe una relación inversa débil (rho=-0,443) entre el estrés en el trabajo y el rendimiento laboral en el personal de la Municipalidad del Centro Poblado de Chenchen 2018, por lo que, se confirma que los trabajadores en estudio presentan un nivel de estrés leve, y el rendimiento laboral presenta un nivel bueno
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Recommended mosquito risk assessment criteria for urban environment in London, UK - targeting mosquito-borne diseases
Get PDFFactors such as climate change and world trade may lead to changes in the range of mosquitoes found in cities. Mosquito-borne diseases are one of the major public health problems worldwide (WHO, 2020). Thus, the risk of mosquitoes appearing in areas where people live is critical. The risk of mosquito have been devised in some countries, but they have mostly focused on assessing water bodies, ignoring the effects of other factors on mosquito survival. This article presents the design of assessment criteria for urban environments based on three basic conditions for mosquito survival, i.e., saccharides, blood, and habitat. The criteria can be used in the assessment of environments in three general directions. The proposed assessment criteria were used in several sites in London to determine the reasonableness of the criteria and continuously improved.<br/
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Book review: migration, ethics & power: spaces of hospitality in international politics by Dan Bulley
Get PDFIn Migration, Ethics and Power: Spaces of Hospitality in International Politics, Dan Bulley offers a study of the ethics and politics of hospitality, exploring how spaces are produced through various negotiations of host/guest relations. Covering such topics as refugee camps, global cities and the institutional ethos of the EU, this book is a sophisticated and nuanced conceptualisation of hospitality that will be of interest to researchers of migration, political geography and global ethics, writes Chenchen Zhang.
