An evolutionary model of density-dependent selection in a two-age population is considered. The model is studied analytically and numerically; the parametric regions of its different dynamic behaviors are determined. An example is used to analyze how an evolutionary increase in the mean fitness results in a more complex population dynamics in a structured population.

In this study, we introduce a novel approach that integrates interpretability techniques from both traditional machine learning (ML) and deep neural networks (DNN) to quantify feature importance using global and local interpretation methods. Our method bridges the gap between interpretable ML models and powerful deep learning (DL) architectures, providing comprehensive insights into the key drivers behind model predictions, especially in detecting outliers within medical data. We applied this method to analyze COVID-19 pandemic data from 2020, yielding intriguing insights.

COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Among Pediatric Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant Patients.

Vaccines (Basel)

December 2024

Section of Pediatric Oncology and Cellular Therapy, Department of Pediatrics, Alberta Children's Hospital, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, Canada.

Vaccine hesitancy among immunocompromised patients is complex and not well understood. This study aimed to determine the rate of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among pediatric oncology and bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients and to understand associated factors. : Parents of patients (≤18 years) with cancer or post-BMT completed the Parent Attitudes about Childhood Vaccines Survey.

Background: Adjuvants play a crucial role in improving the immunogenicity of various antigens in vaccines. Squalene-in-water emulsions are clinically established vaccine adjuvants that improve immune responses, particularly during a pandemic. Current manufacturing processes for these emulsion adjuvants include microfluidizers and homogenizers and these processes have been used to produce emulsion adjuvants to meet global demands during a pandemic.

Monitoring immunization inequalities is crucial for achieving equity in vaccine coverage. Summary measures of health inequality provide a single numerical expression of immunization inequality. However, the impact of different summary measures on conclusions about immunization inequalities has not been thoroughly studied.
