Surveillance of Dengue Fever Vector Aedes aegypti in Different Areas in Jeddah City Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Objectives. Dengue has become the most important endemic disease in Brazil. The Amazonian state of Roraima has one of the highest incidence rates of dengue in the country. The objective of this study was to determine whether significant temporal relationships exist between the number of reported dengue cases and short-term climate measures for the city of Boa Vista, the capital of Roraima. If such relationships exist, that suggests that it may be possible to predict dengue case numbers based on antecedent climate, thus helping develop a climatebased dengue early-warning system for Boa Vista. September 1998-December 2001 and certain meteorological variables (thermal, hydroclimatic, wind, atmospheric pressure, and humidity) up to 25 weeks before. Two-sample t tests were also applied to test for statistically significant differences between samples of daily dengue cases with above-average values and samples with below-average values for three-variable meteorological combinations. These multivariate combinations consisted of the three climate measures that together explained the greatest portion of the variance in the number of dengue cases for the particular season. Results. The strength of the individual averaged correlations varied from weak to moderate. The correlations differed according to the period of the year, the particular climatic variable, and the lag period between the climate indicator and the number of dengue cases. The seasonal correlations in our study showed far stronger relationships than had daily, full-year measures reported in previous studies. Two-sample t tests of multivariate meteorological combinations of atmospheric pressure, wind, and humidity values showed statistically significant differences in the number of reported dengue cases. Conclusions. Relationships between climate and dengue are best analyzed for short, relevant time periods. Climate-based multivariate temporal stochastic analyses have the potential to identify periods of elevated dengue incidence, and they should be integrated into local control programs for vector-transmitted diseases. Methods. Seasonal Pearson product-moment correlations were developed between 3-week running averages of daily numbers of reported dengue cases for

Analysis of Factors Related to Adolescents’ Physical Activity Behavior Based on Multichannel LSTM Model

“…Finally, integrated learning is performed by fusing the results of these base classifiers, where the base classifier is chosen as the maximum entropy classifier. Random undersampling + multichannel LSTM (Multi-LSTM), using the sampling method in ( 5 ) to obtain multiple sets of training samples (5 sets in this experiment), and the classifier using a multichannel (5-channel) LSTM neural network [ 20 – 22 ]. Random undersampling + multichannel CNN (Multi-CNN), using the sampling method in ( 5 ) to obtain multiple sets of training samples (5 sets for this experiment), and a multichannel (5-channel) CNN for the classifier.…”

[Retracted] Design of Intelligent Diagnosis and Treatment System for Ophthalmic Diseases Based on Deep Neural Network Model

“…Reference [ 10 ] proposed an algorithm to accurately localize the optic disc, which uses the direction of the vascular distribution of the fundus image to achieve the segmentation and localization of the optic disc. Reference [ 11 ] proposed using Markov random field theory so that the segmented fundus features can be used for the identification of ophthalmic diseases. Reference [ 12 ] proposed detecting the thickness of retinal nerve fibers by using the optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique to diagnose and treat patients with early ophthalmic diseases.…”
