The topology of animal transport networks contributes substantially to how fast and what extent a disease can transmit between holdings. Therefore, public authorities in many countries mandate livestock holdings report all movements animals. However, the reported data often does not contain information about exact sequence transports, making it impossible assess effect truck sharing contamination on transmission. aim this study was analyze Swiss pig network by means social analysis...
Big Data approaches offer potential benefits for improving animal health, but they have not been broadly implemented in livestock production systems. Privacy issues, the large number of stakeholders, and competitive environment all make data sharing integration a challenge The Swiss pig industry illustrates these other issues. It is highly decentralized fragmented complex network made up small independent actors collecting amount heterogeneous data. Transdisciplinary hold promise overcoming...
Abstract Epidemic spreading is a widely studied process due to its importance and possibly grave consequences for society. While the classical context of epidemic refers pathogens transmitted among humans or animals, it straightforward apply similar ideas spread information (e.g., rumor) computer viruses. This paper addresses question how optimally select nodes monitoring in network timestamped contact events between individuals. We consider three optimization objectives: detection...
Over the last years, various revelations demonstrated that doping problem is far from being solved. These included American cyclist Lance Armstrong's disclosure and subsequent conviction for abuse over a period of many years. Furthermore, these underlined importance strong independent national antidoping agencies (NADA). During current revision process World Anti-Doping Programme (WADP), Antidoping Switzerland campaigning anti-doping to have same rights, authority degree responsibility as...
Abstract The problem of identifying the source an epidemic (also called patient zero ) given a network contacts and set infected individuals has attracted interest from broad range research communities. successful timely identification can prevent lot harm as number possible infection routes be narrowed down potentially isolated. Previous on this topic often assumes that it is to observe state substantial fraction in before attempting identify source. We, contrary, assume observing costly or...
For admission to statutory health insurance, it is common in Switzerland that care providers negotiate prices for services directly with insurers. Once they agree upon a price, must submit the resulting price Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), which can then authorize it. Swiss law requires be based on empirical data. There has been little research how derive such from data and should used. Based collaboration psychological psychotherapists Switzerland, we have designed pricing system....
This review aims to stimulate discussion about a comprehensive understanding of performance evaluation-namely, the taken-forgranted benefit maximal reliable evaluation, where employee is evaluated with high levels reliability (i.e., large samples observations). So far, management discipline has ignored evidence-based view that one’s better under unreliable evaluation compared evaluation. Drawing on tournament theory, behavioral research, and real-world sports data, we argue while boosts only...
