  1. 1. Modeling Epidemics On Different Networks : Insights into Testing Strategies

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Martin Bacic Mikkelsen; Daniel Kenas; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Modeling epidemics is of great interest because it allows us to anticipate and investigate what countermeasures like testing are more effective in slowing down the spread of a disease. In traditional mathematical modeling techniques, a society is represented as a singular entity where everyone can interact with everyone. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigating the Estimation of the infection rate and the fraction of infections leading to death in epidemiological simulation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Jakob Gölén; [2023]
    Keywords : Epidemics; Compartmental Models; Parameter Inference; Synthetic Bootstrap; Infection Rate;

    Abstract : The main goal of this project is to investigate the behaviors of parameters used when modeling an epidemic. A stochastic SIHDRe model is used to simulate how an epidemic evolves over time. READ MORE

  4. 3. Remote Sensing Based Pre-Season Yellow Rust Early Warning in Oromia, Ethiopia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Chinatsu Endo; [2021]
    Keywords : yellow rust; modeling; prediction; early warning; remote sensing; geography; geographical information systems; GIS; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. Tritici) is a crop disease caused by a fungus that regularly infects wheat and causes yield loss in Ethiopia. The disease has a significant impact on the country’s crop production, food security, health, and socioeconomic well-being. READ MORE

  5. 4. Compartmental Models in Social Dynamics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Alice Graf Brolund; [2021]
    Keywords : social dynamics; social models; dynamical systems; cellular automata; segregation; collective action; polarisation; decision making; social epidemic; social recovery; rumour model; SIR; compartmental models; social dynamik; sociala modeller; dynamiska system; cellulär automat; segregation; polarisering; social epidemi; ryktesspridning; SIR;

    Abstract : The dynamics of many aspects of social behaviour, such as spread of fads and fashion, collective action, group decision-making, homophily and disagreement, have been captured by mathematical models. The power of these models is that they can provide novel insight into the emergent dynamics of groups, e.g. READ MORE

  6. 5. A Stochastic Model for Meningococcal Disease

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Hanna Autio; [2017]
    Keywords : population dynamics; stochastic modelling; African meningitis belt; meningococcal meningitis; Feller-Kendall algorithm; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This paper presents a stochastic model for Meningococcal disease. Mathematical models for diseases are an important tool in population dynamics, and their results carry real-world implications as they guide policies and vaccination strategies. READ MORE
