The key point of sustainable development of inbound tourism is to ensure a certain number of tourists. Therefore, it is an important step to predict the number of inbound tourists and study the market of inbound tourists. As a leading tourism city in China, how to attract more tourists is not only related to the development of inbound tourism in Shanghai, but also provides some inspiration for other cities during the epidemic of Coronavirus Disease.\u0000 In this paper, an improved grey markov (GM) model is used to predict the number of inbound tourists in Shanghai during the epidemic of Coronavirus Disease, and then the market changes of inbound tourists are studied by the deviation-share analysis method. Finally, the tim-scale characteristics and trends of inbound tourists in Shanghai are analyzed by ensemble empirical mode decomposition.\u0000 GM (1,1) model is one of the most widely used grey dynamic prediction models in grey system theory, which is composed of a first order differential equation with a single variable. The initial value correction improves the gray GM (1,1) model, and introduces the center point triangle albino weight function in the state division to improve the Markova model. Comparing with the results of traditional GM (1,1), initial value modified GM (1,1) and traditional grey markov prediction models, the prediction effect of this model is verified to be better. These models are better than linear regression and time series.\u0000 Deviation-share analysis explores the changes in the inbound tourist market, and the results show that from 2004 to 2017, the inbound tourist market in Shanghai developed faster than that in the whole country, with a more reasonable and competitive structure. In addition to Japan, the number of inbound tourists from each country to the whole country and Shanghai has increased and increased greatly.\u0000 The time-scale characteristics and trends of inbound tourists in Shanghai are analyzed by ensemble empirical mode decomposition. The results show that: first, the total number of inbound tourists and the number of foreign tourists mainly change within 3 or 6 months, while that of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan fluctuates between high and low frequency. Second, the main cyclical fluctuations and no significant trend of the source countries. The fluctuation period of Japan, Thailand, Britain, France and Germany is 3 months; Macau is 3, 6, 12, 60, 180 months; Singapore is 3, 6, 180 months. Third, there is a clear trend and cycle fluctuations as a supplement to the source countries. The fluctuation periods in Hong Kong are 3, 6, 90 and 180 months; In Taiwan, Canada and Russia it is 3 , 6 months; In Indonesia, the United States, Italy and New Zealand it is 3, 6 and 12 months; In Malaysia it is 3, 180 months; In South Korea it is 3 ,45 months; In Australia it's four or seven months.

As compared to current zoonotic infections, the spread of COVID-19 is exceptional; with higher severity as well as more confirmed mortality. The mode of transmission is primarily through respiratory droplets with incubation times (1 – 14 days) which is quite similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-1). Reports show that it has claimed more lives as compared to the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Till now, it is difficult to present a clear conclusive information about the prevention as well as the spread of this viral infection and therefore no clear cut treatment guidelines are available. Hence, it is difficult to project how to live with this viral infection, the Government of many countries including Cameroon have provided some public health measures to help in the reduction of its spread.\u0000These measures include amongst others; isolation, quarantine, social distancing, regular washing of hands with soap, use of hand sanitizers, staying and working from home and obligatory wearing of masks in public places. Proper implementation of these measures require relevant and effective communication as well as sensitization projects to be put in place to abreast the community and individuals to comply with the procedures. It is the inherent role of the Government of Cameroon to ensure that adequate supplies of essential needs (masks, clean water, soap, hand sanitizers) are available for the vulnerable and underprivileged members of society during this health crisis.\u0000Here, we are going to explore the psychological, socio-economic, and ethico-legal concerns of this pandemic, through its implementation of isolation, quarantine, social distancing, constant washing of hands with soap, use of hand sanitizers, staying and working from home, obligatory wearing of masks in public places and national lockdown. The implication of these measures on the life of the population in a low middle income country like Cameroon has been elucidated.","PeriodicalId":294469,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biology and Genetics","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121411011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After long- term artificial selection and natural elimination, silkworm varieties have been differentiated and multiplied, making China abundant in silkworm germplasm resources. We have summarized the research actualities of Chinese silkworm germplasm resources as follows: at present, there are more than 4,500 silkworm germplasm resources, which are stored in 32 scientific research and teaching institutions in 27 provinces and cities of China. The resources fall into several major categories, under which are local varieties, improved varieties, imported varieties, multivoltine varieties, germplasm innovation materials and basic materials, gene mutation systems, tester strains and near-isogenic lines. By use of various germplasm resources, the People’s Republic of China had bred 204 new silkworm varieties by 2010 since its founding. According to usage, these resources are divided into 103 varieties for spring rearing and spring-autumn rearing, 85 varieties for summer-autumn rearing and 16 varieties for specialpurpose rearing. Some of these varieties were as transient as a fleeting cloud, whereas some others have become classics and made outstanding contributions to the development of China’s sericulture.","PeriodicalId":294469,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biology and Genetics","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125673408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
