Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We enhance our SIHURD model published in Bica et-al (2022) and propose a metapopulation infectious disease mathematical monitoring model where individuals move between discrete spatial patches. We divide the environment into a finite number of spatial patches (e.g., adjacent cities), which preserve homogeneity characteristics. We apply the enhanced SIHURD model presented in this article to each spatial patch. The novelty of this model lies in introducing parameters that represent individuals’ travel rates between spatial patches, which depend on their disease status. In addition, it assumes that individuals do not change their disease status while travelling between patches. Our study uses the reproduction number, R 0k , for each spatial patch, k = 1, 2, . . . , n, (n > 1) integer, which represents the average number of secondary cases produced by an infected individual in a susceptible population. The system has only a disease-free equilibrium point if R 0k ≤ 1. In contrast, if R 0k > 1, the system has an endemic equilibrium point. Reproduction numbers R 0k are crucial for understanding the spread of infectious diseases and can inform measures to control outbreaks effectively. Migration between patches fundamentally alters the behaviour of the endemic equilibrium within a patch, rendering it unstable in the proposed model.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
