Prevention and health promotion are considered important strategies to control oral diseases. Dental caries is preventable disease remains the most common chronic that affects mainly low income children still main cause of tooth loss in adulthood Brazil. The aim this study present a System Dynamics model (SDM) specifically developed with Stella Architect software estimate cost clinical hours required evolution dental preschool Maringá, Two were model: application fluoride varnish on teeth...
COVID-19 vaccinations have been administered quickly in the USA. However, a surprisingly large number of Americans are unwilling to get vaccinated. Without enough people getting vaccinated, pandemic will not end. The longer persists, more opportunities exist for virulent strains emerge. This model looks at effects people’s behavior containing and ending Human adds several feedback loops standard SEIR model. Comparisons made between cases with without loops, reduced adherence recommended or...
The 2025 conference theme is "Incorporating AI into Dynamic Modeling." As artificial intelligence (AI) applications expand across various domains like marketing, research, and programming, their integration dynamic modeling has also increased. Within the System Dynamics (SD) domain, been used to analyze patterns in simulation data, convert text causal loop diagram (CLD), create small models XML Modeling Interchange LanguagE (XMILE) format, generate persona serve as agents models, among other...
A project model is presented that weaves together ideas from earned value management and systems dynamics. It able to adjust increasingly unhealthy actual behaviors in ways preserve the signature pattern of staffing histograms observed real world provide a tool for managers correct projects are not meeting plan. Starting planned histogram performance baseline, captures delay cost experience dilution, includes unplanned-for effort revealed typical Cost Performance Index, assesses progress...
Summary Two of the most important dynamics in planning for projects are “rookie-professional” up-to-speed delay new hires, and “undiscovered-rework” feedback loop. A recent report [Nevison, 2015] used a project model that did not include undiscovered-rework This addresses shortcoming by using different explicitly includes both loop rookie-professional delay. First, initial system-dynamic model’s plan gets modified to run with realistic set fine-tuned parameters produce “best-case” acceptable...
