Abstract
Predicting the outbreak of a pandemic is an important measure in order to help saving people lives threatened by Covid-19. Having information about the possible spread of the pandemic, authorities and people can make better decisions. For example, such analyses help developing better strategies for distributing vaccines and medicines. This paper has modified the original Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) model to Susceptible-Immune-Infected-Recovered (SIRM) which includes the Immunity ratio as a parameter to enhance the prediction of the pandemic. SIR is a widely used model to predict the spread of a pandemic. Many types of pandemics imply many variants of the SIR models which make it very difficult to find out the best model that matches the running pandemic. The simulation of this paper used the published data about the spread of the pandemic in order to examine our new SIRM. The results showed clearly that our new SIRM covering the aspects of vaccine and medicine is an appropriate model to predict the behavior of the pandemic.
期刊介绍:
Aim
This journal intends to share concepts, researches and practical experiences to enable the organizations to become more flexible (adaptive, responsive, and agile) at the level of strategy, structure, systems, people, and culture. Flexibility relates to providing more options, quicker change mechanisms, and enhanced freedom of choice so as to respond to the changing situation with minimum time and efforts.
It aims to make contributions in this direction to both the world of work and the world of knowledge so as to continuously evolve and enrich the flexible systems management paradigm at a generic level as well as specifically testing and innovating the use of SAP-LAP (Situation- Actor - Process-Learning-Action-Performance) framework in varied managerial situations to cope with the challenges of the new business models and frameworks. It is a General Management Journal with a focus on flexibility.
Scope
The Journal includes papers relating to: conceptual frameworks, empirical studies, case experiences, insights, strategies, organizational frameworks, applications and systems, methodologies and models, tools and techniques, innovations, comparative practices, scenarios, and reviews.
The papers may be covering one or many of the following areas: Dimensions of enterprise flexibility, Connotations of flexibility, and Emerging managerial issues/approaches, generating and demanding flexibility.
