Stability Analysis of SIRS Model considering Pulse Vaccination and Elimination Disturbance by Yanli Ma, Xuewu Zuo

“…At the same time, compared with a single control strategy, it is obvious that the multiple control strategies are more beneficial to restrain the spread of infectious diseases. In this paper, we consider pulse vaccination and pulse elimination strategies at the same time and establish an SIRS epidemic model with standard incidence. …”

Mothers and children without bread. Hunger in the Auxilio Social Cocinas de Hermandad and Comedores Infantiles during post-war Francoism (1939-1940) by Gloria Román Ruiz

“…Moreover, since the facilities did not meet the minimum conditions of size, cleanliness, ventilation, and kitchen utensils, the attendees were exposed to infectious diseases. It is also argued that, beyond the food supply problems of those famine years, the ineffectiveness of the Comedores and Cocinas was often due to the staff who worked in them, as they often used to steal food for their own consumption or to sell on the black market. …”
