Network analysis of interactions of rumination and anxiety on smartphone dependence symptoms by Sen sen Zhang, Sen sen Zhang, Shao hong Yong, Shao hong Yong, Jia tai Chen

“…However, little is known regarding how the components of both affect SPD symptoms at subtle levels. Therefore, we used the network analysis approach to identify the connections at a micro level to provide possible interventions for reducing SPD symptoms.MethodsUsing symptom-level network analysis, we used the ruminative response scale-10, the generalized anxiety disorder scale-7, and the mobile phone addiction index scale-17 to investigate Chinese preservice teachers (Mage = 21.1, N = 1160). …”

Theoretical assessment of the relative incidences of sensitive andresistant tuberculosis epidemic in presence of drug treatment by Silvia Martorano Raimundo, Hyun Mo Yang, Ezio Venturino

“…Despite the availability of effective treatment, tuberculosis (TB)remains a major global cause of mortality.Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a form of TB thatis resistant to at least two drugs used for the treatment of TB,and originally is developed when a case of drug-susceptibleTB is improperly or incompletely treated.This work is concerned with a mathematical model to evaluate the effect ofMDR-TB on TB epidemic and its control.The model assessing the transmission dynamics of both drug-sensitive anddrug-resistant TB includes slow TB(cases that result from endogenous reactivation of susceptible andresistant latent infections). We identify the steady states of the model toanalyse their stability.We establish threshold conditions for possible scenarios:elimination of sensitive and resistant strains and coexistence of both.We find that the effective reproductive number iscomposed of two critical values, relative reproductive number for drug-sensitiveand drug-resistant strains.Our results imply that thepotential for the spreading of the drug-resistant strain should be evaluated withinthe context of several others factors.We have also found that even the considerably less fit drug-resistant strainscan lead to a high MDR-TB incidence, because the treatment is less effective against them.…”
