Article Synopsis
- SARS-CoV-2 transmission in indoor spaces is influenced by human interactions, highlighting the need for understanding behaviors to ensure safety.
- A new model, PeDViS, integrates pedestrian behavior with virus spread to evaluate exposure based on interaction duration, distance, and ventilation.
- Combining multiple interventions like masks and improved airflow can reduce risks, but outcomes vary widely depending on specific situations and transmission routes.
Climate change is expected to increase the number of heat wave events, leading to prolonged exposures to severe heat stress (HS) and the corresponding adverse effects on dairy cattle productivity. Modelling dairy cattle productivity under HS conditions is complicated because it requires comprehending the complexity, non-linearity, dynamicity, and delays in animal response. In this paper, we applied the System Dynamics methodology to understand the dynamics of animal response and system delays of observed milk yield (MY) in dairy cows under HS.

However, their use in dairy farm management remains limited. This work demonstrates the use of systems approaches and feedback thinking in modelling for dairy farm management.
