Computational Intelligence for Managing Pandemics, Aditya Khamparia, Bharat Bhushan, Prajoy Podder, Rubaiyat Hossain Mondal, Sachin Kumar, Victor Hugo C. de Albuquerque
New Pandemics, Old Politics explores how the modern world adopted a martial script to deal with epidemic disease threats, and how this has failed - repeatedly. Europe first declared 'war' on cholera in the 19th century. It didn't defeat the disease but it served purposes of state and empire. In 1918, influenza emerged from a real war and swept the world unchecked by either policy or medicine. Forty years ago, AIDS challenged the confidence of medical science. AIDS is still with us, but we have learned to live with it - chiefly because of community activism and emancipatory politics.
Today, public health experts and political leaders who failed to listen to them agree on one thing: that we must 'fight' Covid-19. There's a consensus that we should target individual pathogens and suppress them - rather than address the reasons why our societies are so vulnerable. Arguing that this consensus is mistaken, Alex de Waal makes the case for a new democratic public health for the Anthropocene.

Описание: THE SERIES: INTELLIGENT BIOMEDICAL DATA ANALYSIS By focusing on the methods and tools for intelligent data analysis, this series aims to narrow the increasing gap between data gathering and data comprehension. Emphasis is also given to the problems resulting from automated data collection in modern hospitals, such as analysis of computer-based patient records, data warehousing tools, intelligent alarming, effective and efficient monitoring. In medicine, overcoming this gap is crucial since medical decision making needs to be supported by arguments based on existing medical knowledge as well as information, regularities and trends extracted from big data sets.

After all, it's never too early to become a scientist
"Explaining and understanding the COVID-19 pandemic can be difficult for a variety of reasons. Explaining it so it can be understood by children can be even harder... Carefully written to explain concepts without stigmatizing any individuals or groups, this book] includes steps that children can take after reading, like washing their hands and wearing a mask. Plus, the books end on positive messages, and use colorful illustrations to provide visuals to complex, heavy topics."--Drexel Now

This volume is an important contribution to our understanding of global pandemics in general and Covid-19 in particular. It brings together the reflections of leading social and political scientists who are interested in the implications and significance of the current crisis for politics and society.
The chapters provide both analysis of the social and political dimensions of the Coronavirus pandemic and historical contextualization as well as perspectives beyond the crisis. The volume seeks to focus on Covid-19 not simply as the terrain of epidemiology or public health, but as raising fundamental questions about the nature of social, economic and political processes. The problems of contemporary societies have become intensified as a result of the pandemic. Understanding the pandemic is as much a sociological question as it is a biological one, since viral infections are transmitted through social interaction. In many ways, the pandemic poses fundamental existential as well as political questions about social life as well as exposing many of the inequalities in contemporary societies. As the chapters in this volume show, epidemiological issues and sociological problems are elucidated in many ways around the themes of power, politics, security, suffering, equality and justice.
This is a cutting edge and accessible volume on the Covid-19 pandemic with chapters on topics such as the nature and limits of expertise, democratization, emergency government, digitalization, social justice, globalization, capitalist crisis, and the ecological crisis.

Описание: "Portrays epidemiologists as disease detectives who tirelessly hunt for clues and excel at deductive reasoning. Even Sherlock Holmes would be proud of this astute group of professionals."--Booklist Despite advances in health care, infectious microbes continue to be a formidable adversary to scientists and doctors. Vaccines and antibiotics, the mainstays of modern medicine, have not been able to conquer infectious microbes because of their amazing ability to adapt, evolve, and spread to new places. Terrorism aside, one of the greatest dangers from infectious disease we face today is from a massive outbreak of drug-resistant microbes. Deadly Outbreaks recounts the scientific adventures of a special group of intrepid individuals who investigate these outbreaks around the world and figure out how to stop them. Part homicide detective, part physician, these medical investigators must view the problem from every angle, exhausting every possible source of contamination. Any data gathered in the field must be stripped of human sorrows and carefully analyzed into hard statistics. Author Alexandra Levitt, PhD, is an expert on emerging diseases and other public health threats. Here she shares insider accounts she's collected that go behind the alarming headlines we've seen in the media: mysterious food poisonings, unexplained deaths at a children's hospital, a strange neurologic disease afflicting slaughterhouse workers, flocks of birds dropping dead out of the sky, and drug-resistant malaria running rampant in a refugee camp. Meet the resourceful investigators--doctors, veterinarians, and research scientists--and discover the truth behind these cases and more. This edition features a new introduction by the author

If you want to understand the past and current epidemics history, then keep reading.
What is the most suitable prevention method to repel COVID-19 because, at the time of writing, world research has not yet developed an effective cure or vaccine (April 2020)?
Do you think you know everything about microbes (viruses, bacteria, protozoa, unicellular algae, fungi ...) that we can find in the air, on our hands, and in many other places?
Do you know that prevention is the best way to fight viruses?
By learning their habits, their transmission modes, their differences, and others, you will be able to fight more effectively against these microorganisms.
The word microbe means 'petite vie' (little life). It was invented by the surgeon Charles-Emmanuel S dillot (French) in 1878, and this word means all the microorganisms that we can only see under the microscope.
The history of humanity is interspersed with the virus.
Millions of persons died in various epidemics. (HIV, H1N1, SRAS, EBOLA, CORONAVIRUS...)
In this book, you will learn:
- The history of the greatest plagues that are epidemics and pandemics (world epidemic) occurred on our earth from the year 1900.
- Understand the differences between microorganisms
- The story and the evolution of the current pandemic (coronavirus)
- Prevention and treatment of COVID-19
- Create hydroalcoholic gel yourself
- And many other things
The only way to protect yourself is prevention
Even if you know a lot about these "petite vie" (microbes), this book will help you to improve your knowledge and understand that prevention is your biggest ally against coronavirus.
Bonus: several recipes for making hydroalcoholic gel at home
