Most countries around the world enforced non-pharmaceutical interventions against COVID-19. Italy was one of first to be affected by pandemic, imposing a hard lockdown, in epidemic wave. During second wave, country implemented progressively restrictive tiers at regional level according weekly epidemiological risk assessments. This paper quantifies impact these restrictions on contacts and reproduction number.Representative (with respect age, sex, region residence) longitudinal surveys...

During the initial phases of vaccination campaign worldwide, nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) remained pivotal in fight against COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, it is important to understand how arrival vaccines affected adoption NPIs. Indeed, some individuals might have seen start mass campaigns as end emergency and, a result, relaxed their COVID-safe behaviors, facilitating spread virus delicate epidemic phase such rollout.

Abstract Individuals’ perceptions of disease influence their adherence to preventive measures, shaping the dynamics spread. Despite extensive research on interaction between spread, human behaviors, and interventions, few models have incorporated real-world behavioral data perception, limiting applicability. This study novelly integrates represented by perceived severity, as a critical determinant change into data-driven compartmental model assess its impact Using survey data, we explore...

The use of electromagnetic (EM) technologies for military applications is gaining increasing interest to satisfy different operational needs, such as improving battlefield communications or jamming counterpart's signals. This achieved by the high-power EM waves in several frequency bands (e.g., HF, VHF, and UHF). When considering vehicles, antennas are present close proximity crew personnel, which thus potentially exposed high fields.A typical exposure scenario was reproduced numerically...

Individuals' perceptions of disease influence their adherence to preventive measures, shaping the dynamics spread. Despite extensive research on interaction between spread, human behaviors, and interventions, few models have incorporated real-world behavioral data perception, limiting applicability. In this study, we propose an approach integrate survey contact patterns perception into a data-driven compartmental model, by hypothesizing that perceived severity is determinant change. We...

Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected social contact patterns worldwide. Particularly during the first epidemic wave, because of lack specific treatment or vaccine, most countries around world enforced non-pharmaceutical interventions. Italy was one to be strongly by pandemic, imposing in wave a hard lockdown. During second country implemented color-coded, progressively restrictive tiers at regional level according weekly epidemiological risk assessments....
