The stable isotope composition of living and of Holocene Mytilidae shells was measured in the area of Camarones (Chubut, Argentina). The most striking results were the high δ18O values measured in samples older than ca. 6.1 cal ka BP. In the younger samples, the δ18O values remained substantially stable and similar to those of living specimens. Analysis of the data revealed the possibility for this isotopic shift to be driven mainly by changes in temperature probably accompanied by minor changes in salinity, suggesting cooler seawater before 6.1 cal ka BP, with a maximum possible temperature shift of ca. 5 °C. A possible explanation of this change can be related to a northward position of the confluence zone of the Falkland and Brazilian currents. This is consistent with the data obtained in marine cores, which indicate a northerly position of the confluence in the first half of the Holocene. Our data are also in line with the changes in wind strength and position of the Southern Westerlies Wind, as reconstructed in terrestrial proxies from the Southernmost Patagonia region.

In France, the data resulting from monitoring water intended for human consumption are integrated into a national database called SISE-Eaux, a useful and relevant tool for studying the quality of raw and distributed water. A previous study carried out on all the data from the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA) region in south-eastern France (1061 sampling points, 5295 analyses and 15 parameters) revealed that the dilution of the information in a heterogeneous environment constitutes an obstacle to the analysis of ongoing processes that are sources of variability. In this article, cross-referencing this information with the compartmentalization into groundwater bodies (MESO) provides a hydrogeological constraint on the dataset that can help to better define more homogeneous subsets and improve the interpretation. The approach involves three steps: (1) A principal component analysis conducted on the whole dataset aimed at eliminating information redundancy; (2) an unsupervised grouping of groundwater bodies having similar sources of variability; (3) a principal component analysis carried out within the main groups and sub-groups identified, aiming to define and prioritize the sources of variability and the associated processes. The results supported by discriminant analysis and machine learning show that the grouping of MESO is the best-suited scale to study ongoing processes due to greater homogeneity. One of the eight main groups identified in PACA, corresponding to the accompanying aquifers of the main rivers, is analyzed by way of illustration. Water–rock interactions, redox processes and their effects on the release of metals, arsenic and fecal contamination along different pathways were specifically identified with varying impacts according to the subgroups. We discussed both the significance of the principal components and the mean values of the bacteriological parameters, which provide information on the causes and on the state of contamination, respectively. Based on the results from two different groups of MESO, some guidelines in terms of a strategy for resource quality monitoring are proposed.

Published: December 2020

Understanding the soil and hydrologic processes in agricultural watersheds are vital for reliable assessments of water quantity and quality to support integrated river basin management. However, deriving hydrology-relevant information is complicated in flat data-scarce agricultural watersheds due to constraints in watershed delineation, flat topography, poor natural drainage, and irregular irrigation schedules by human intervention. The study aimed to improve the applicability of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to simulate daily flow and NO3 concentrations in a flat data-scarce agricultural watershed in the Lower Seyhan Plain (LSP) in Turkey. Refined digitized stream networks, discharge data derived from fully equipped gauging stations, and satellite data (Landsat 7 ETM+, Aster GDEM, etc.) had to be integrated into the modeling process to improve the simulation quality. The model was calibrated using a 2-year (2011–2012) dataset of streamflow and NO3 using the Sequential Uncertainty Fitting (SUFI-2) approach and validated from 2013 to 2018. Daily water yields were predicted with a reasonable simulation accuracy (E values ranging from 0.53 to 0.82 and percent bias (PBIAS) from 0 to +4.1). The results proved that integrating redefined stream networks to SWAT within a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment increases the simulation capability of flow and nitrate dynamics efficiently. Automated delineation of these networks and sub-basins at low topographic transitions limits the SWAT accuracy.

The choice of the most effective option for using the machine and tractor fleet in relation to specific operating conditions, considering the real volumes and the existing age structure of the park, is a complex optimization problem, in which value of the rational service life of the equip-ment and the necessity for a differentiated assessment of its consumer properties in three main groups are important: an ability of agricultural machinery to follow the technological require-ments determined by working conditions; productivity and efficiency of equipment; properties that ensure the safety and comfort of the driver. The solution to the problem is to develop a model that allows for the scientifically grounded size of the current renewal of agricultural machinery, adapted to modern operating conditions.
Diagnostic Utility of Serial Microscopic Examination of the Urinary Sediment in Acute Kidney Injury
Authors: Varghese Vipin , Rivera Maria Soledad , Alalwan Ali A. , Alghamdi Ayman M. , Gonzalez Manuel E. , Velez Juan Carlos Q.
Published: December 2020

Background

Microscopic examination of the urinary sediment (MicrExUrSed) is an established diagnostic tool for AKI. However, single inspection of a urine specimen during AKI is a mere snapshot affected by timing. We hypothesized that longitudinal MicrExUrSed provides information otherwise not identified in a single inspection.

Methods

MicrExUrSed was undertaken in patients with AKI stage ≥2 and suspected intrinsic cause of AKI seen for nephrology consultation over a 2-year period. MicrExUrSed was performed on the day of consultation and repeated at a second (2–3 days later) and/or third (4–10 days later) interval. Cast scores were assigned to each specimen. Chawla scores (CS) 3–4 and Perazella scores (PS) 2–4 were categorized as consistent with acute tubular injury (ATI), whereas CS 1–2 and PS 0–1 were categorized as nondiagnostic for ATI (non-ATI). Nonrecovering AKI was defined as a rise in serum creatinine (sCr) ≥0.1 mg/dl between microscopy intervals.

Results

At least two consecutive MicrExUrSed were performed in 121 patients (46% women, mean age 61±14, mean sCr at consult of 3.3±1.9 mg/dl). On day 1, a CS and PS consistent with non-ATI was assigned to 64 (53%) and 70 (58%) patients, respectively. After a subsequent MicrExUrSed, CS and PS changed to ATI in 14 (22%) and 16 (23%) patients. Thus, 20%–24% of patients only revealed evidence of ATI after serial MicrExUrSed was performed. Patients with nonrecovering AKI were more likely to change their PS to the ATI category (odds ratio, 5.8; 95% CI, 1.7 to 19.3; P=0.005 and positive likelihood ratio, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.3 to 2.9).

Conclusions

Serial MicrExUrSed revealed diagnostic findings of ATI otherwise not identified in a single examination. A repeat MicrExUrSed may be warranted in patients AKI of unclear etiology that are not recovering.

élite estatal de la provincia de Buenos Aires: continuidades y cambios durante los años kirchneristas
Authors: Rodrigo Cintia , Tavano Carolina , Aldao Joaquín , Aelo Oscar H.
Published: December 2020

El artículo tiene como objetivo describir la fisonomía de la élite estatal de la Provincia de Buenos Aires en el período 2002-2015. Para ello se presenta, en primer lugar, el organigrama provincial en los dos máximos niveles de cargos ejecutivos, a fin de identificar sus rasgos y las transformaciones que sufrieron a lo largo de los años kirchneristas. En segundo lugar, se describen los rasgos de los individuos que ocuparon estos cargos, considerados como posiciones de elite, haciendo foco en sus trayectorias personales y políticas. Los datos presentados son resultado del procesamiento de una base inédita del equipo de investigación. Los principales hallazgos son dos: por una parte, la baja permanencia de individuos en sus cargos; por otra, la existencia de un pequeño número de funcionaries que atravesaron todo el período ocupando distintos cargos. En función de estos datos es posible afirmar que la elite bonaerense en los años kirchneristas tuvo un pequeño “núcleo duro” alrededor del cual circularon numerosos actores con pertenencias efímeras.
Contra judíos, masones y comunistas. Un caso de violencia paraestatal en La Plata en 1970
Authors: Besoky Juan Luis
Published: December 2020

Este artículo es un estudio de caso sobre el accionar represivo de un escuadrón paraestatal integrado por militares en el año 1970 en la ciudad de La Plata. El trabajo se basa principalmente en el hallazgo de un sumario del Consejo Supremo de las Fuerzas Armadas realizado a los integrantes de dicho grupo en el Archivo intermedio del AGN, los cuales fueron condenados por la justicia militar, luego indultados por el presidente de facto Alejandro Agustín Lanusse y posteriormente amnistiados. Este sumario, así como materiales de la Dirección de Inteligencia de la Policía de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (DIPPBA), testimonios de sobrevivientes y artículos periodísticos, permiten reconstruir las trayectorias individuales de los militares implicados en el accionar represivo clandestino, sus convicciones ideológicas y las redes de sociabilidad establecidas. A su vez, el análisis de los recorridos individuales de estos sujetos plantea una serie de interrogantes respecto a la manera de analizar el accionar paraestatal, la periodización de la represión y las ideologías políticas durante la década de 1970.

In 2014, a seismic monitoring system, restored with the participation of the Swiss government, continued to operate in Tajikistan. Seven digital stations Trident+Trillium-40 devices, provide registration of events located in Tajikistan and hundreds of kilometers beyond. This network recorded 5306 earthquakes with КР=8.6–14.5, of which 4308 are deep-focus Pamir-Hindu Kush earthquakes with h=70–270 km and 998 are shal-low, scattered throughout the territory. The total seismic energy released in the sources of all earthquakes amounted to Е~6.61014 J. Within the borders of the Republic, the most powerful earthquake (with КР=13.3) was on September 13. The earthquake located in the southern spurs of the RushanRange at the end of the system of dual Karakul-Sarez faults dividing the Pamirs into Western and Eastern parts. It was felt with an intensity of Ii=4–5 in Khorog and Roshtkal, Ii=4in Rushan and on the lake Sarez. Shocks with Ii=4–5 from the November 1 earthquake with KP=12.1 were also felt in Rogun, at the site of Rogun hydropower plant under construction. The maximum deepest earthquake (КР=14.5, Mw=5.4, h=200 km) occurred on June 14 in the Afghan subzone. Due to the great depth, the area of its perceptibility Ii=3 amounted to 220 thousand km2 in Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan. However,in general the seismic process in the Republic proceeded in the background.
Quality of Life Assessment in Healthcare Professionals with Occupational Diseases
Authors: Petrukhin NN , Boiko IV , Grebenkov SV
Published: December 2020

Summary. Introduction: Quality of life (QOL) is an integral concept characterizing the level of comfort of the social and natural environment for human life and work, the level of well-being and social, spiritual and physical health. Currently, the number of scientific disciplines that include this concept as an object of study is expanding. Our objective was to study the impact of the system of rehabilitation measures provided for by the current federal legislation in relation to this category of patients on the quality of life of healthcare professionals with occupational diseases. Materials and methods: We assessed QOL changes related to rehabilitation in 124 healthcare professionals of the North-West Federal District who received full or partial rehabilitation for occupational diseases in 2000–2017. Results: We analyzed the dynamics of QOL indicators and assessed physical condition and the ability to perform certain functions in our subjects. The most significant changes were established for such indicators as concentration of attention (by 0.2 on average; p = 0.0393) and quality of life (by 0.2 on average; p = 0.0256). We found an improved QOL in almost 40 % of healthcare professionals with occupational diseases related to physical workloads compared with the groups of occupational infection and allergy cases. Moreover, the increment was quite small (0.2 in terms of the difference in average values, with the expected growth of at least 1–2 points). Conclusions: Incomplete and inconsistent implementation of rehabilitation measures in healthcare professionals suffering from occupational diseases leads to an insufficiently effective increase in their quality of life. A better QOL improvement in these patients requires appropriate correction of drawbacks in carrying out rehabilitation measures.
Koncepcja filozofii w korespondencji Adama Kochańskiego SJ z Gottfriedem Leibnizem
Authors: Lisiak Bogdan
Published: December 2020

Wiek XVII zaznaczył się w filozofii europejskiej wydarzeniami, które doprowadziły do trwałych zmian w intelektualnym obliczu starego kontynentu. Na owe wydarzenia składają się nie tylko prace Kartezjusza, otwierające przestrzeń do badań nad filozofią świadomości, lecz także procesy związane z powstaniem nowożytnego przyrodoznawstwa. Zostały one zapoczątkowane przez odkrycia Galileusza i znalazły swoje zwieńczenie w dziele Izaaka Newtona: Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica (1687). Cechą charakterystyczną wspomnianego stulecia jest żywa wymiana myśli naukowej poprzez zakładanie towarzystw naukowych, jak również przez korespondencji prowadzoną pomiędzy przedstawicielami różnych dziedzin nauki, filozofii i sztuki. O rozmiarach tej działalności świadczy chociażby zbiór 15 tysięcy listów zgromadzonych w Bibliotece Królewskiej w Hanowerze, które składają się na korespondencji niemieckiego filozofa Gottfrieda Wilhelma Leibniza (1646-1716). Spuścizna korespondencyjna zgromadzona w bibliotekach i rozsiana po różnych archiwach jest cennym źródłem materiałów do badań nad filozofią XVII wieku.

Książek poświęconych refleksji nad pojęciem racjonalności ukazuje się obecnie wiele, zaś większość z nich przyjmuje bardziej lub mniej jasno wyrażony przesłankę, iż pojęcie to przeżywa obecnie głęboki kryzys. Samo pojęcie kryzysu jest przy tym na ogol stosowane w sposób, który należałoby nazwać intelektualną nonszalancją, gdyby tylko ów niefrasobliwy, niekiedy wręcz metaforyczny użytek, jaki się z niego czyni, był wynikiem świadomego zamiaru. Tak jednak zwykle się nie dzieje, a prace poświęcone trudnościom z prawidłowym zdefiniowaniem pojecia racjonalności i określeniem jego funkcji w obrębie rozważań filozoficznych mówią o kryzysie tak, iż odbiorca ulega niekiedy nieodpartemu wrażeniu, iż chodzi o kryzys porównywalny do kryzysu ekonomicznego, przez który należy możliwie szybko i przy minimalnych stratach własnych przejść i jak najszybciej otrząsnąć się z minionych trudności. Nie miałoby sensu bliższe wnikanie w przyczyny owego stanu rzeczy , bowiem wiąże się one nierozerwalnie z pojmowaniem najważniejszych problemów filozoficznych, przez co niemożliwe jest choćby skrótowe ich omówienie. Przede wszystkim jednak - z punktu widzenia zarówno refleksji nad pojęciem racjonalności, jak i rozważań, które zmierzają do określenia, czy rzeczywiście mamy współcześnie do czynienia z tak poważnym kryzysem racjonalności, jak zdają się sugerować niektórzy autorzy prac poświęconych temu zagadnieniu - poszukiwanie owych przyczyn nie wydaje się czynnością potrzebny.

Published: December 2020

Książka wybitnego znawcy problematyki filozofii, socjologii i politologii profesora i akademika Włodzimierza Kokluchina zwraca uwagę przede wszystkim czymś, co określić można mianem „pozaczasowości", a co polega na tym, że mimo swego uwikłania w konkretną rzeczywistość początku XXI wieku ogarnia ona prawidłowości rządzące polityką w procesie jej przemian w czasie. Odniesienia do konkretnych sytuacji maja tu na ogół charakter egzemplifikacji i służy głównie ukonkretnieniu rozważań dotyczących problemów poza tą konkretność wykraczających. Owa „pozaczasowość" odnosi się zresztą w równym stopniu do przeszłości, jak i do przyszłości, w równym bowiem stopniu Autorowi udaje się ująć politykę jako proces wyrastający z przeszłości, jak i jako proces, który rozwijając się kształtował będzie rzeczywistość społeczną bliższej i dalszej przyszłości. Traktując politykę w ten właśnie sposób Włodzimierz Kokluchin nie traci z pola widzenia faktu, iż sama ta polityka jest czymś, co wciąż wymaga dookreślania i poznawania - jest tworem kształtowanym między innymi poprzez refleksję nad nią.

Published: December 2020

The article presents the effectiveness indicators of a brand new methodology developed by Kyrgyzstan. It focuses on application of outdoor ethnic games for the improvement of health status and endurance level of adults aged 50-55 in mid-mountain regions. The obtained results are applicable for the refinement of training process and the improvement of physical qualities of elderly people in special climate conditions.

We analyzed the indicators of physical fitness, physical status, adaptive potential and endurance of adults aged 50-55. The outcomes demonstrated effectiveness of using outdoor ethnic games for the improvement of health status and the deceleration of age-related changes in the studied group. The reason is that all ethnic games have an active impact on all muscle groups, develop motor qualities and raise endurance.

The purpose is to develop the methodology of application of outdoor ethnic games for the improvement of physical status and workability of persons of pre-retirement age in mid-mountain regions in Kyrgyzstan and to determine its effectiveness.

Research methods: anthropometry, physiometry (body length, body weight, heart rate, blood pressure); functional tests: Davydenko 6-scale momentum test (Cooper test); methods of mathematical statistics.

Results: In our research, we first identified the indicators of adaptive potential, the nature of adaptation, characteristics of functional state, physical status, and stamina level according to Davydenko 6-scale momentum test. We assessed the functional state of cardiovascular system according to the endurance coefficient. We used 12-minute Cooper test and monitoring of maximum oxygen consumption to identify the physical fitness degree of individuals of pre-retirement age who practice outdoor ethnic games in mid-mountain regions in Kyrgyzstan.

Conclusion. We carried out the comparative analysis of current functional adaptation status of men playing ethnic games. The first observation revealed the decrease in body functional abilities. The second observation revealed the tension of adaptation mechanisms in men and women. Both men and women had either medium or high physical status. The studied group practicing modern physical culture demonstrated the same results and the same physical status. Results of Davydenko test show the increasing fitness level in both groups. Functional indicators of studied groups demonstrate the intensification of cardiac activity. It provides sufficient functional capabilities at the cost of functional reserves. Level of physical capacity degree in studied groups: satisfactory, good and high. The index of maximal oxygen consumption demonstrate good health of people in both groups.
The Model-less Neuromimetic Chip and its Normalization of Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Hales Colin
Published: December 2020

The conceptual basis of a novel neuromimetic
chip is described. Based on an existing computational bioelectrodynamics study
and adaptive brain signaling biophysics knowledge from neuroscience, the chip
is, in effect, a form of inorganic artificial brain tissue. This ‘physics
replication’ approach involves no abstract models of brain tissue physics or
function. Instead of the physics of a general-purpose computer or the physics
of abstract models on the chip (analogue or digital), this neuromimetic chip
has an inorganic version of natural adaptive brain signaling physics. As a
result of using the native brain physics, the chip has a functionally relevant
endogenous quasistatic electric and magnetic field system of the form known to
be expressed by excitable cell tissue. Fully developed at macroscopic scales it
can be expected to produce an EEG/MEG-like electromagnetic signature. This
article does an extended analysis to understand an observed generalized lack of
the physics replication approach and its implications for the neuroscience of
natural and artificial intelligence. This is achieved through a technical
comparison with the neuromimetic chip’s closest relative, the neuromorphic chip
(of the class of general-purpose computers). The results indicate that the
physics-replication approach is a possible but neglected option. It also
reveals that the neuromimetic chip contributes empirical science, in contrast
to the theoretical science conducted using general-purpose computers. Because
of the chip’s novelty and proximity to foundational issues, the article
contributes the necessary background information in anticipation of the arrival
of the first prototyping results over the coming years.
Chimera: An Android Malware Detection Method Based on Multimodal Deep Learning and Hybrid Analysis
Authors: Schranko de Oliveira Angelo , Sassi Renato José
Published: December 2020

The Android Operating System (OS) everywhere, computers, cars, homes, and, of course, personal and corporate smartphones. A recent survey from the International Data Corporation (IDC) reveals that the Android platform holds 85% of the smartphone market share. Its popularity and open nature make it an attractive target for malware. According to AV-TEST, by November 2020, 2.87M new Android malware instances were identified in the wild. Malware detection is a challenging problem that has been actively explored by both the industry and academia using intelligent methods. On the one hand, traditional machine learning (ML) malware detection methods rely on manual feature engineering that requires expert knowledge. On the other hand, deep learning (DL) malware detection methods perform automatic feature extraction but usually require much more data and processing power. In this work, we propose a new multimodal DL Android malware detection method, Chimera, that combines both manual and automatic feature engineering by using the DL architectures, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Deep Neural Networks (DNN), and Transformer Networks (TN) to perform feature learning from raw data (Dalvik Executable (DEX) grayscale images), static analysis data (Android Intents & Permissions), and dynamic analysis data (system call sequences) respectively. To train and evaluate our model, we implemented the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) process and used the publicly available Android benchmark dataset Omnidroid, which contains static and dynamic analysis data extracted from 22,000 real malware and goodware samples. By leveraging a hybrid source of information to learn high-level feature representations for both the static and dynamic properties of Android applications, Chimera’s detection Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and ROC AUC outperform classical ML algorithms, state-of-the-art Ensemble, and Voting Ensembles ML methods, as well as unimodal DL methods using CNNs, DNNs, TNs, and Long-Short Term Memory Networks (LSTM). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that successfully applies multimodal DL to combine those three different modalities of data using DNNs, CNNs, and TNs to learn a shared representation that can be used in Android malware detection tasks.

Some women may have severe symptoms of postpartum depression, that need timely diagnosis and proper treatment. Women with premenstrual syndrome symptoms are particularly at risk of depression.

To prevent the dangerous consequences of unrecognized postpartum depression, a requirement was introduced in 2019 in Poland for gynecologists to interview pregnant women and to exclude the occurrence of depression in the postpartum period.

The aim of the study is to present the hormonal determinants of postpartum depression with particular attention to risk factors.

Substrates is an important pillar of seedling production, when it seeks to establish vigorous plants with a uniform pattern and lower possible production costs. The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of the carnauba agroindustrial residue (RC) in the alternative substrate composition for the formation of watermelon seedlings. The experiment was conducted at the Campus Professor Cinobelina Elvas, Federal University of Piauí, Bom Jesus, Piauí. A randomized block design with five treatments was used: RC and sand, in the proportions: 20/80, 40/60, 60/40, 80/20 and 100/0, with four replications and eight plants per plot, 160 plants. The variables evaluated were: emergence percentage, emergence speed index, plant height, leaf area, leaf number, shoot dry mass, neck diameter, root density, root area, root mean length and root dry mass. The seedlings with 100% RC provided higher height (4.43 cm), leaf area (16.13 cm2), number of leaves (2.0) and shoot dry mass (0.13 g / plant). The use of 80% CR and 20% sand resulted in a larger diameter of the neck (mean), root area (mean) and root mean (average) length. Already in the proportions of 60 and 40% of CR plus sand respectively, they promoted higher root density (mean). However, to produce seedlings of Citrullus lanatus with adequate quality standard, it is recommended to use 100% RC substrate because it is more responsive to aerial part and substrate with 80% RC / 20% sand, which promotes greater growth of the system root.

The research objective is to determine the effect of price, location, and service quality variables on customer satisfaction. 100 respondents who were used as samples were involved in filling out the questionnaire, taken from Paras Snack consumers. Collecting data using questionnaires with the Accidential Sampling Method, and analysis using quantitative methods. The validity and reliability tests were used in the data instrument testing, and the normality test, multicollinearity test, heteroscedasticity test, autocorrelation test were used to analyze the data, the t test and F test and the determination test (R2) were used to test the hypothesis. Validity test, reliability test and classical assumption test whose data have been met are then processed to produce a regression equation: Y = 4,475 + 0.126 X1 + 0.348 X2 + 0.374. Partially service quality variables do not affect customer satisfaction variables, while variables that affect customer satisfaction partially are price and location variables as indicated by hypothesis testing using the t-test. Then the results of the F test are shown simultaneously the influence of the three independent variables on the dependent variable. It is stated from the results of the determination test (R2) that the value of the Adjusted R Square is 0.811, which means that the dependent variable of customer satisfaction with a value of 81.1% can be explained by the three independent variables, namely the variable price, location and service quality and the remaining 18.9% value is explained by the variable outside of research.

Background. The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 first broke out in Wuhan, Hubei Province in China, and then spread quickly worldwide.
Objective. This study aimed to dissect the spread and end of the epidemic in China with a precise mathematical model.
Methods. Various data were obtained from the official websites of the Chinese National Health from January 20 to July 8, 2020. The Chinese study participants were divided into three groups, namely, Hubei (including Wuhan), nationwide without Hubei, and Henan. The basic reproduction number (R0), effective reproduction number (Rt), and gender and age ratio of COVID-19 were calculated, and the epidemic’s predicted curves or fitting curves with peak time and end time were plotted with SIR model. These predicted curves were compared with actual scatter plots.
Results. The fitting curve of the Hubei group showed a parabola with a peak on February 18, 2020, with 51,673 cases and the gradual decrease of infected patients, which culminates with a downhill after May 2020. During early outbreak, the highest recorded R0 was 6.13, which declined gradually forming a S-type curve, and it approached zero in early May. Similar to Hubei group, the fitting curve of the nationwide without Hubei group also showed a parabola, recording a peak of 9145 cases on February 10, 2020. At first, its R0 was as high as 2.35 but declined to zero in early April. The epidemic in the Henan group also reached its peak on February 10, 2020, and ended in early April as well.
Conclusion. The epidemic development of COVID-19 in China followed the shape of parabolic curves. This model provides insights into how to strategize for epidemic control.
