Abstract The rework cycle is at the heart of modeling projects, one major research and application areas in system dynamics. current formulations for assume each task either defective or not. Yet many projects multiple defects can occur task. In this study we introduce a new formulation that accounts per flexibly captures testing process. We compare with two established from literature. Analysis shows some differences simulated projects' finish time delivered quality across different models...
Food safety procedures are critical to reducing pathogen caused food-borne disease (FBD). However there is no way completely eliminate the risk of consuming contaminated products. When prevention efforts fail, rapid identification product essential. The medical and economic losses incurred grow with duration outbreak. In this paper we show that before an outbreak occurs, analysis food sales data, as a proactive intervention, can provide useful intelligence exploit during investigation...
The Spatiotemporal Epidemiologic Modeler (STEM) is an open source software project supported by the Eclipse Foundation and used a global community of researchers public health officials working to track and, when possible, control outbreaks infectious disease in human animal populations. STEM not model or tool designed for specific disease; it flexible, modular framework supporting exchange integration models, reusable plug-in components, denominator data, available worldwide at...
Foodborne disease outbreaks of recent years demonstrate that due to increasingly interconnected supply chains these type crisis situations have the potential affect thousands people, leading significant healthcare costs, loss revenue for food companies, and—in worst cases—death. When a outbreak is detected, identifying contaminated quickly vital minimize suffering and limit economic losses. Here we present likelihood-based approach has accelerate time needed identify possibly products, which...
Abstract We introduce a novel mathematical model to analyze the effect of removing non-pharmaceutical interventions on spread COVID19 as function disease testing rate. find that relaxing has strong impact size epidemic peak intervention removal time. show it is essential for predictive models explicitly capture transmission from asymptomatic carriers and important obtain precise information by testing. The reservoir, reported account much 85% transmission, will contribute resurgence if...
The relationship between sarcopenia and cognitive impairment in older adults remains contentious. This study investigates this association examines the long-term prognosis for individuals with both conditions.
Over the last decades globalization of trade has significantly altered topology food supply chains. Even though food-borne illness been consistently on decline, hazardous impact contamination events is larger [1-3]. Possible contaminants include pathogenic bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins or chemicals. Contamination can occur accidentally, e.g. due to improper handling, preparation, storage, intentionally as melamine milk crisis proved. To identify source a disease it often necessary...
Since the 2001 anthrax attack in United States, awareness of threats originating from bioterrorism has grown. This led internationally to increased research efforts improve knowledge and approaches protecting human animal populations against threat such attacks. A collaborative effort this context is extension open-source Spatiotemporal Epidemiological Modeler (STEM) simulation modeling software for agro- or bioterrorist crisis scenarios. STEM, originally designed enable community-driven...
According to WHO's statistical evidence, accidental falls are the second leading causes of death worldwide. This systematic literature review and meta-analysis aims provide a holistic view risk factors unfold missing or less addressed but crucial that lead older adults. It also intends profile at different levels, which helps exhibit level consistency relationship between various falls.Systematic review.A on adults by retrieving English journal papers published starting from 1980 was...
Growing evidence suggests that abnormal diurnal blood pressure rhythms may be associated with many adverse health outcomes including increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. This study evaluates methodological aspects research on bidirectional associations between ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) patterns function. By examining the 28 recent studies included in a systematic review association ABPM function dementia, our revealed several significant limitations current cognition terms...

Foodborne disease is a global public health problem that affects millions of people every year. During foodborne illness outbreak, rapid identification contaminated food vital to minimize illness, loss and impact on society. Public officials face significant challenge long delays in obtaining critical information help identify product using traditional methods such as surveys questionnaires. We propose novel approach mapping geo-coded sales data against confirmed case reports, which has the...
