Since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the pandemic situation has begun to undergo positive changes with the joint efforts of various countries and world organizations. However, pressures such as the COVID-19 mutations and the sharp rise in confirmed cases have brought uncertainties to the prevention and control of the pandemic. The overall situation is still severe and complex. Based on the multi-dimensional spatial-temporal COVID-19 data collected by the open-source NetEase News (NEN) website and a real-time dynamic website, it is to explore the characteristics of the pandemic data, visualize the development trend, and analyze the spread of the pandemic in this paper. Moreover, it is to provide a rule basis for the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic by constructing the decision tree model. From the results, some suggestions are provided for decision-makers.

Abstract In a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, management of the emergency department is a difficult task in terms of prevention and control of the disease in general hospitals. On top of meeting urgent needs of patients for medical treatment, the emergency department also has to devote resources into investigation and prevention of COVID-19. At the beginning of the epidemic, with the strategy to intercept the chain of infection, Peking University First Hospital (PKUFH) focused on three important aspects: controlling the source of infection, cutting off the route of transmission, and protecting vulnerable populations, to expeditiously draft scientific and proper management measures for the emergency department, followed by real-time dynamic adjustments based on the development trend of the epidemic. These measures effectively ensured a smooth, orderly and safe operation of the emergency department. As of the writing of this manuscript, there has been no active COVID-19 infection in patients and medical staff in the emergency department, and no infection in patients admitted to PKUFH through the emergency department. This study describes the prevention and control measures in the emergency department of PKUFH during the outbreak of COVID-19, aiming to provide some reference for domestic and international medical institutions.

This paper is one of four interrelated papers resulting from the National Summit on Legal Preparedness for Obesity Prevention and Control (Summit) convened in June 2008 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the American Society of Law, Medicine, Ethics. Each of the papers deals with one of the four core elements of legal preparedness: (1) laws and legal authorities for public health practitioners; (2) legal competencies public health practitioners and legal and policy decision makers need for use of these laws and authorities; (3) crossdisciplinary and cross-jurisdiction coordination of law-based public health actions; and (4) information on public health law best practices. Collectively, they are referenced as the “white papers.”Our purpose is to offer action options that will help to improve the legal competencies of public health practitioners and policy decision makers with respect to drafting, interpreting.

World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the recent outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a Pandemic and a global public health emergency. The eventual scope and consequences of this outbreak are uncertain at present as the condition is swiftly evolving. The purpose of this article is to cumulate existing published data and researches, identify the challenges with reference to India and develop a comprehensive preventive plan to prevent the spread of this deadly pandemic. The authors explored WHO situation dashboards, the web portal of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India and press reports of different countries, published literature on coronavirus transmission, textbooks, scientific and medical journals and several other sources to identify ongoing challenges in the fight against COVID-19 in India. After an exhaustive literature search, 15 ongoing challenges in the fight against novel COVID-19 especially with reference to India have been identified. After a thorough analysis of all these challenges along with the lessons from the International community, a preventive plan has been established to be devised by different agencies from our personal perspectives to overcome the challenges which may assist decision-makers in the prevention and control of COVID-19 in India.

With the development and application of prediction theory in the fields of engineering and control, the grey prediction model is introduced. Real estate can be regarded as a grey system in the engineering circle, and housing price is an uncertain indicator which is affected by multiple factors such as policy, market, and economy. In this paper, we study the prediction control problem of housing price, and present a prediction control model of housing price based on GM(1, 1). From the house price data of Huanggang city in recent five years, we use this prediction control model to predict the development trend of housing price in the next five years. We try to provide an effective reference for housing price control.

In order to cope with air pollution, China has formulated Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cooperative supervision mechanism on air pollution prevention and control. Nevertheless, after several years’ effort, the air quality has improved significantly but far from reaching people’s needs. To improve the supervision strategies for meeting a better supervision and treatment effect, this paper will evaluate the effect of the cooperative supervision on air pollution and control in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and give several advices on the improvement of existing supervision method through results analyzation. Firstly, a comprehensive evaluation criteria system is established. Then a novel method of determining weight is firstly proposed in this paper, -fuzzy measure and AHP are used for determining weights which can not only consider the correlation among criteria but also take care of the will of the decision-makers. Finally, we obtain the evaluation ranking results by Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation combined with Cloud model and several advice is proposed. In general, the model can provide reference for monitoring and evaluating the effect of supervision on air pollution prevention and control in other regions and the results analysis provide a great reference to the decision makers to optimize the cooperative supervision in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.

Advocacy for neglected zoonotic diseases (ADVANZ) is a One Health Neglected Zoonotic Diseases (NZDs) project, funded by the European Commission through its 7th framework programme. The initiative aims at persuading decision makers and empowering stakeholders at local, regional, and international levels towards a coordinated fight against NZDs. ADVANZ is establishing an African platform to share experiences in the prevention and control of NZDs. The platform will compile and package existing knowledge or data on NZDs and generate evidence-based algorithms for improving surveillance and control with the ultimate aim of eliminating and eradicating these diseases. The platform will serve as a forum for African and international stakeholders, as well as existing One Health and NZD networks and harness and consolidate their efforts in the control and prevention of NZDs. The platform had its first meeting in Johannesburg, South Africa in March 2013.

During the development of pre-made and conditioned foods, the corresponding recipes and process requirements should be met, large-scale production work should be performed in the central kitchen, and then distributed to the terminal stores, so that the conditioned foods become more popular. Based on previous work experience, this paper summarizes the research status of key technologies for preserving and sterilizing pre-processed foods. At the same time, this article discusses the key technical application content of pre-conditioned food processing quality and sterilization from four aspects: the application of ultra-high pressure technology, the prevention and control of common microorganisms, the application of tea polyphenols, and the development trend of pre-conditioned food.
