Properties of dynamical systems with dichotomous Markov noise which exhibit crises are investigated. We find numerically the dependence of the mean residence time on the precrisis attractor on the transition rate (or transition probability in the discrete-time case) of dichotomous Markov noise. To explain this dependence, we construct a simple Markov chain model, which allows us to find the mean residence time for the given transition rate with a good accuracy. Next, we find the distribution of residence times for a system driven by dichotomous Markov noise and also build a simple model to explain its properties.

Stochastic transitions between discrete microscopic states play an important role in many physical and biological systems. Often these transitions lead to fluctuations on a macroscopic scale. A classic example from neuroscience is the stochastic opening and closing of ion channels and the resulting fluctuations in membrane current.

Aims: Depressive disorders are ranked as the single leading cause of disability worldwide. Despite immense efforts, there is no evidence of a global reduction in the disease burden in recent decades. The aim of the study was to determine the public health impact of the current service system (status quo), to quantify its effects on the depression-related disease burden and to identify the most promising strategies for improving healthcare for depression on the population level.

It is now almost three years that COVID-19 has been the cause of misery for millions of people around the world. Many countries are in process of vaccination. Due to the social complexity of the problem, the future of decisions is not clear.

Populations of ecological systems generally have demographic fluctuations due to birth and death processes. At the same time, they are exposed to changing environments. We studied populations composed of two phenotypes of bacteria and analyzed the impact that both types of fluctuations have on the mean time to extinction of the entire population if extinction is the final fate.

Procedural knowledge space theory (PKST) was recently proposed by Stefanutti (British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 72(2) 185-218, 2019) for the assessment of human problem-solving skills. In PKST, the problem space formally represents how a family of problems can be solved and the knowledge space represents the skills required for solving those problems. The Markov solution process model (MSPM) by Stefanutti et al.
