Wastewater-Informed Public Health Intervention Playbook
Wastewater-Informed Public Health Intervention Playbook
Sustain Magazine
As the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic quickly spread from country to country and continent to continent in 2020, governments and scientists needed a way to track COVID-19 through populations in order to position public health interventions in the most impactful locations. Having a decision-based risk framework may help to guide policy creation that could minimize or prevent possible outbreaks and surges of infection within communities. The University of Louisville in partnership with Louisville’s Department of Public Health and Wellness tested this strategy in 2021 and 2022. This Wastewater-Informed Public Health Intervention Playbook describes the decisions and actions of that academic and public …
Simulation Research On Covid-19 Transmission And Control Measures Based On SeiIRd Model, Jing Wang, Ying Dong
Simulation Research On Covid-19 Transmission And Control Measures Based On SeiIRd Model, Jing Wang, Ying Dong
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: With the spread of the novel coronavirus pneumonia around the world, the data and transmission mechanism are analyzed. The SEIiRD model is constructed based on the existing SEIRD model, and the infected population is divided into asymptomatic infections, mild infections, severe infections and critical infections. The impact of the transmission rate of different infected people on the development of the epidemic was analyzed. Simulation experiments were carried out on the basis of fitting real data, and it was found that the main infected populations that affected the discovery of the epidemic were asymptomatic and mildly infected. On …

Developing A Fake News Identification Model With Advanced Deep Languagetransformers For Turkish Covid-19 Misinformation Data, Mehmet Bozuyla, Akin Özçi̇ft
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The massive use of social media causes rapid information dissemination that amplifies harmful messages such as fake news. Fake-news is misleading information presented as factual news that is generally used to manipulate public opinion. In particular, fake news related to COVID-19 is defined as 'infodemic' by World Health Organization. An infodemic is a misleading information that causes confusion which may harm health. There is a high volume of misinformation about COVID-19 that causes panic and high stress. Therefore, the importance of development of COVID-19 related fake news identification model is clear and it is particularly important for Turkish language from …
Modeling And Simulation Of Emergency Medical Resources Allocation In Shanghai During Covid-19, Changjia Fan, Yanqiu Du, Liang Di, Hu Kai, Jiayan Huang
Modeling And Simulation Of Emergency Medical Resources Allocation In Shanghai During Covid-19, Changjia Fan, Yanqiu Du, Liang Di, Hu Kai, Jiayan Huang
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Modeling and simulating on the allocation of emergency medical resources in Shanghai with COVID-19 is carried out. Based on the SEIR model of infectious diseases, combined with the process of outpatients visiting and inpatients treatment, a SEIOWHR(susceptible-exposed-infected-outpatients- waiting to hospitalized-hospitalized-removed) system dynamics model is established. If the Wuhan epidemic occurred in Shanghai, based on the model, the amount of emergency medical resources needed, the gap time of medical resources and the disease progression of patients who are waiting to hospitalized under the different supply of medical resources is simulated, and the key factors in the allocation of medical …
