COVID-19 RISK EVALUATION AND TESTING STRATEGIES BASED ON CONTACT TRACING NETWORK AND INFORMATION ANALYSIS

Contact tracing and efficient testing can have an imperative part in mitigating the COVID-19 spread, with minimal social and economic disruption. Testing serves many purposes: isolating the COVID-19 positive tested individuals, identifying the contacts at the risk, and locating the hotspots and safe zones for administrative planning. However, it is a challenging task to identify the right individuals for the test in view of the high COVID -19 spread, a large number of presymptomatic and asymptomatic cases, and limited testing capabilities. The individuals for COVID -19 are currently identified based on direct-contact, travel history, and symptoms, which are more individualized and do not explicitly include a group risk assessment, and in turn, do not preclude the transmission from the superspreaders. Policymakers need to limit testing in the shortage of test resources, and focus on gaining the most information from the tests performed. In this work, we introduce a protocol for the identification of the group of individuals to be tested for acquiring maximum risk information of a community with minimum individual tests performed. Firstly, an algorithm is proposed to determine the risk profile of all the individuals in the community by incorporating serial and parallel pathways of the infection transmission considering multiple steps of transmission. Next, we consider several potential groups that could be tested from the community, and analyze them one by one for their comparison. In a group, few individuals can be positive, and the remaining few can be negative, generating sets of several test-outcomes with unequal probabilities. The protocol involves the probability calculation and reassessment of the network’s risk profile in all the test output cases. Finally, the best group is identified in all the groups studied, in which risk profiles between post and pre-test are maximally different. The analysis shows that in general, information increases with an increase in the group size. Notably, a strategically chosen small group may provide more information from the test results, than a standard larger group. The proposed systematic strategy would help in the selection of the right individuals for the testing, and in extracting far more information from the minimum samples, to effectively aid the epidemic mitigation. The protocol is generic, and can also be applied to any other epidemic spread in the future.

Switching Between Different Non-Hierachical Administrative Areas via Simulated Geo-Coordinates: A Case Study for Student Residents in Berlin

The transformation of area aggregates between non-hierarchical area systems (administrative areas) is a standard problem in official statistics. For this problem, we present a proposal which is based on kernel density estimates. The approach applies a modification of a stochastic expectation maximization algorithm, which was proposed in the literature for the transformation of totals on rectangular areas to kernel density estimates. As a by-product of the routine, one obtains simulated geo-coordinates for each unit. With the help of these geo-coordinates, it is possible to calculate case numbers for any area system of interest. The proposed method is evaluated in a design-based simulation based on a close-to-reality, simulated data set with known exact geo-coordinates. In the empirical part, the method is applied to student resident figures from Berlin, Germany. These are known only at the level of ZIP codes, but they are needed for smaller administrative planning districts. Results for (a) student concentration areas and (b) temporal changes in the student residential areas between 2005 and 2015 are presented and discussed.

The Population Census in Austria

Based on the Constitution, the Population Census in Austria is a matter of the central state, serving many political-administrative, planning, research, and other purposes. After its start as a systematic operation in the middle of the 18th century, it developed further by a modern legal basis in 1857 and advances in statistical technology in 1890 (punch cards) and 1971 (machinereadable questionnaires). In the second half of the 20th century, the Population Census became a comprehensive operation, including dwellings, buildings, and workplaces. The communes organized the classical method of on the spot household data collection on behalf of the state. The register-based Census replaced the household collection in 2011. Following a government decision of 2000, which aimed at the sole use of available micro-data, the first steps for creatingthe necessary administrative and statistical registers took place in conjunction with the last traditional census of 2001. With new provisions for linking the records, the Register Census Act of 2006, and a full test census in the same year, the new methodology was established and evaluated in a short period. The first regular Register Census “took place” with reference date 31 October 2011. It is described in the central part of this communication, featuring the advantages, strengths, and weaknesses, the backbone registers, the “comparison registers,” and the redundancy principle, which help to ensure high data quality and the fit of the census into the international framework. Current developments include the annual update of results,changes and improvements in the data sources, and a short outlook on the next census of 2021.

How Overtourism Threatens Large Urban Areas: A Case Study of the City of Wrocław, Poland

Excessive tourist traffic concentration in cities of high tourist attractiveness often leads to overtourism, manifested, among others, by overcrowding in appealing areas and means of transport, rising prices, or degradation of natural and cultural resources. The effects of an excessive number of tourists include an unfavourable change in the local community’s attitude towards tourists. The paper determines the extent and forms of overtourism symptoms in Wrocław, Poland. The research allowed for the identification of negative and positive effects of tourist traffic in Wrocław as perceived by three groups of respondents: experts, Wrocław residents: key experts from the scientific, administrative, planning, and business communities; people directly involved in tourist services; and students of tourism. The crucial part was direct research, conducted in November 2019 with a questionnaire technique. The results confirm symptoms of overtourism in Wrocław, but the threat is not significant. The article shows specific potential overtourism threat factors; the respondents’ opinions did not significantly differ between the groups. The presented findings and conclusions may be useful in developing the tourism policy of this and other cities, especially regarding sustainable development of tourism and the potential threat imposed by overtourism. The methodology may be used in similar comparative studies in other cities.

Estructura de planeación orientada a fortalecer el trabajo de los cuerpos académicos de una facultad de ingeniería

The commitment that the Higher Education Institution in Mexico has with the country is important, since its contribution in the formation of quality professionals is a transcendent factor that impacts society. Considering the foregoing, this research work reflects on the importance of strengthening collegial work for the benefit of engineering Educational Programs, in order to favor engineering education through the work developed by academic experts in related educational areas. Due to the need to promote the research development of the teaching staff, the strengthening of the teacher's profile is promoted through strategies that motivate him to develop other activities that favor his professional development and have a positive impact on the students. The strategic basis of the proposal presented here is to promote, in a systemic manner, an administrative planning structure that integrates the factors that are important for strengthening the collaborative work of teachers, which makes it possible to visualize the development trajectory that members of a collegiate body may have. This planning was designed on the basis of a documentary analysis, it is implemented through the systemic-structural method, it is analyzed using descriptive statistics and it is improved through analysis of the results obtained. The systematization of these strategies of academic-administrative management favor in the evolution of these work teams, increasing in 57% the amount of Consolidated Academic Bodies and in 64% of Academic Bodies in Consolidation, which contributes in the strengthening of the Academic Capacity of the Faculty of Engineering, and positively impacting in integral formation of the future engineers.

Alto da Cerca (Valpaços, Portugal): um assentamento militar romano na Serra da Padrela e sua relação com o distrito mineiro de Tresminas

Pretendemos com este trabalho dar a conhecer um possível assentamento militar romano localizado na vertente Oriental da serra da Padrela: o Alto da Cerca (Valpaços, Portugal). O uso de uma metodologia não-invasiva permitiunos caracterizar arqueologicamente este sítio e diferenciá-lo em relação à rede de povoamento local. Tendo em consideração que o exército romano estaria directamente envolvido em tarefas de controlo e proteção das zonas mineiras, mas também com questões logísticas e técnico-administrativas de planificação, administração e organização territorial, procuramos contextualizar este assentamento em relação ao distrito mineiro romano de Tresminas. Alto da Cerca (Valpaços, Portugal): a Roman military settlement in the Padrela Mountain and its relation to the mining district of Tresminas - In this work, we study a possible Roman military settlement located on the eastern slope of the Padrela Mountain, named Alto da Cerca (Valpaços, Portugal). The use of a non-invasive methodology allowed us to characterise the site archaeologically and to differentiate it in relation to the local settlement network. Considering that the Roman army was directly involved in control tasks and protection of mining areas, but also in logistical issues and technical and administrative planning, as well as administration and territorial organization, we seek to contextualize the settlement in relation to the Roman mining district of Tresminas.
