Virus spreading and heat spreading
by Adrian Bejan and Umit Gunes
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijthermalsci.2021.107433
In this article, we propose a heat transfer framework for how human-to-human interaction spreads everything on the landscape: disease, goods, knowledge, news, technology, science, language and culture.
Online Facilitated workshops during COVID: Our experience
Date: 11 January 2022, 16.00 - 17.00 (London)
About the Event
This talk provides an overview of our experience of participative problem structuring in the synchronous online workshop environment. In 2020, due to the outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic and government-posed restrictions, where possible many organisations moved to remote working. This rendered all face to face workshops and meetings a health hazard. It has meant that we had to adapt our facilitation practice to support stakeholder groups in the online environment. At the time, many organizations needed to make crucial decisions in remote environments but lacked the expertise to manage the process and interactions in an effective way. We discuss our experience as facilitators in working with organizations involving key workers in the online environment. Based on our experience we offer guidance to those interested in transitioning to online facilitation.

Reflections on OR and Controlling a Pandemic
Topic
The Health Applications Society presents - Reflections on OR and Controlling a Pandemic
Description: Many operations researchers have studied various issues concerned with controlling the COVID-19 pandemic (and, hopefully not too soon, , future pandemics). This talk will discuss some of the areas in which OR has been applied such as forecasting and pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical mitigation measures. The discussion will consider the relative impact of these efforts and lessons for future research.
Time: Jan 28, 2022 01:00 PM in [Eastern Time (US and Canada)]
One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach—working at the local, regional, national, and global levels—with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.

The Supply Chain Disruption Framework Post COVID-19: A System Dynamics Model
https://pesquisa.bvsalud.org/global-literature-on-novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov/resource/pt/covidwho-969390
March 2020 we have published qualitative and quantitative models on the corona virus. Corona virus (COVID-19) - a system dynamics simulation model using not just the bass diffusion - KNOW-WHY.NET … going beyond the bass diffusion. They were quite useful and well received. However, we discontinued the model when the vaccines arrived and it would be interesting to cover the development of variants and new vaccines as well as the challenge that vaccines not necessarily prevent the spread but just the severity of symptoms.
