1Robert-Koch-Institute, Seestraße 10, 13353 Berlin, Germany.
Resumen
Los complejos procesos de propagación global, como las epidemias, pueden simplificarse utilizando una métrica de distancia efectiva. Este método predice con precisión los tiempos de llegada y los orígenes de la enfermedad, incluso sin conocer parámetros epidemiológicos específicos.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Epidemiología La epidemiología.
- Ciencia de la red Ciencia de la red Ciencia de la red
- Sistemas complejos de sistemas complejos.
Sus antecedentes:
- La propagación global de epidemias, rumores e innovaciones son procesos complejos impulsados por redes.
- La heterogeneidad y la naturaleza multiscala de las redes dificultan la comprensión, la predicción y la identificación del origen.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para simplificar la comprensión de complejos patrones de extensión espacio-temporal.
- Desarrollar un método para predecir los tiempos de llegada de enfermedades e identificar sus orígenes.
- Para aplicar el método a los datos de epidemias del mundo real.
Principales métodos:
- Sustitución de la distancia geográfica convencional por una distancia efectiva motivada probabilísticamente.
- Analizando datos de epidemias mediadas por el tráfico aéreo.
- Validación del método con los datos de la gripe H1N1 de 2009 y el SARS de 2003.
Principales resultados:
- Los patrones complejos se reducen a una propagación de ondas simple y homogénea utilizando la distancia efectiva.
- La distancia efectiva predice con fiabilidad los tiempos de llegada de la epidemia, incluso con parámetros desconocidos.

Causality in Epidemiology
2.2K
Causality or causation is a fundamental concept in epidemiology, vital for understanding the relationships between various factors and health outcomes. Despite its importance, there's no single, universally accepted definition of causality within the discipline. Drawing from a systematic review, causality in epidemiology encompasses several definitions, including production, necessary and sufficient, sufficient-component, counterfactual, and probabilistic models. Each has its strengths and...

Entropy Changes Accompanying Specific Processes
161
Entropy, a measure of disorder in a system, changes during phase transitions like freezing or boiling. At the transition temperature Ttrs, where two phases are in equilibrium, the phase transition is a reversible process. The entropy change can be calculated from a substance's enthalpy of transition using the equation ΔStrs = ΔtrsH /Ttrs.When a perfect gas expands isothermally from one volume to another, entropy increases logarithmically with volume. Conversely, isothermal compression...

Steps in Outbreak Investigation
779
In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Network Covalent Solids
12.9K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

The Entropy as a State Function
134
Consider an arbitrary process that moves between two specific states (A and B) in a cyclic manner. This process is reversible and broken down into smaller parts that each follow a Carnot cycle. A Carnot cycle has two isothermal (constant temperature) processes. During these processes, the ratio of the amount of heat transferred to their respective temperature remains constant. The other two processes in the Carnot cycle are also reversible but adiabatic, which means they occur without any heat...

Social Traps
20.5K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...
