Mathematical Modelling of COVID-19 Transmission Dynamics with Vaccination: A Case Study in Ethiopia by Sileshi Sintayehu Sharbayta, Henok Desalegn Desta, Tadesse Abdi

“…In the analytical study of the model, we have shown the local and global stability of disease-free equilibrium, existence of the endemic equilibrium and its local stability, positivity of the solution, invariant region of the solution, transcritical bifurcation of equilibrium, and sensitivity analysis of the model is conducted. From these analyses, for the full model (model with vaccination), we found that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable for Rv<1 and is unstable for Rv>1. …”

Risk of poor glycemic control in tamsulosin versus finasteride users with type 2 diabetes mellitus by Minh-Ha Nguyen, Maxim S. Petrov, Jaelim Cho

“…After applying inverse probability treatment weighting, tamsulosin users did not have a significantly higher risk of poor glycemic control compared with finasteride users (weighted hazard ratio 1.27, 95 % confidence interval 0.95–1.72). Sensitivity analyses addressing confounding and protopathic bias yielded similar risk estimates. …”

Investigating Two-dimensional Horizontal Mesh Grid Effects on the Eulerian Atmospheric Transport Model Using Artificial Neural Network by Amine Ajdour, Brahim Ydir, Houria Bouzghiba, Ishaq Dimeji Sulaymon, Anas Adnane, Dris Ben Hmamou, Kenza Khomsi, Jamal Chaoufi, Gábor Géczi, Radouane Leghrib

“…The initial aspect reveals: (1) Enhanced resolution increases the probability of accurate forecasts, particularly for ozone, with PM10 displaying less distinct patterns. (2) Spatial resolution has minimal impact on temperature and wind speed. (3) Planetary Boundary Layer Height (PBLH) exhibits higher sensitivity, influencing Land Use and Land Cover (LULC), primarily due to emissions, advocating for higher resolution. …”
