Abstract
We formulate a mathematical model of social media addiction and depression (SMAD) in this study. Key aspects, such as social media addiction and depression disease-free equilibrium point (SMADDFEP), social media addiction and depression endemic equilibrium point (SMADEEP), and basic reproduction number (R0), have been analyzed qualitatively. The results indicate that if R0 < 1, the SMADDFEP is locally asymptotically stable. The global asymptotic stability of the SMADDFEP has been established using the Castillo-Chavez theorem. On the other hand, if R0 > 1, the unique endemic equilibrium point (SMADEEP) is locally asymptotically stable by Lyapunov theorem, and the model exhibits a forward bifurcation at R0 = 1 according to the Center Manifold theorem. To examine the model's sensitivity, we calculated the normalized forward sensitivity index and conducted a Partial Rank Correlation Coefficient (PRCC) analysis to describe the influence of parameters on the SMAD. The numerical results obtained using the Fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK-4) scheme show that increasing the number of addicted individuals leads to an increase in the number of depressed individuals.

Abstract
Tuberculosis has affected human beings for thousands of years, and until today, tuberculosis still ranks third among 29 infectious diseases in China. However, most of the existing mathematical models consider a single factor, which is not conducive to the study of tuberculosis transmission dynamics. Therefore, this study considers the combined effects of vaccination, treatment, and contaminated environments on tuberculosis, and builds a new model with seven compartments of $ SVEITRW $ based on China's tuberculosis data. The study shows that when the basic reproduction number $ R_{0} $ is less than 1, the disease will eventually disappear, but when $ R_{0} $ is greater than 1, the disease may persist. In the numerical analysis part, we use Markov-chain Monte-Carlo method to obtain the optimal parameters of the model. Through the next generation matrix theory, we calculate that the $ R_{0} $ value of tuberculosis in China is $ 2.1102 $, that is, if not controlled, tuberculosis in China will not disappear over time. At the same time, through partial rank correlation coefficients, we find the most sensitive parameter to the basic reproduction number $ R_{0} $. On this basis, we combine the actual prevalence of tuberculosis in China, apply Pontryagin's maximum principle, and perform cost-effectiveness analysis to obtain the conditions required for optimal control. The analysis shows that four control strategies could effectively reduce the prevalence of TB, and simultaneously controlling $ u_{2}, u_{3}, u_{4} $ is the most cost-effective control strategy.

Abstract
Different cross-sectional and clinical research studies investigated that chronic HBV infected individuals' co-epidemic with COVID-19 infection will have more complicated liver infection than HBV infected individuals in the absence of COVID-19 infection. The main objective of this study is to investigate the optimal impacts of four time dependent control strategies on the HBV and COVID-19 co-epidemic transmission using compartmental modeling approach. The qualitative analyses of the model investigated the model solutions non-negativity and boundedness, calculated all the models effective reproduction numbers by applying the next generation operator approach, computed all the models disease-free equilibrium point (s) and endemic equilibrium point (s) and proved their local stability, shown the phenomenon of backward bifurcation by applying the Center Manifold criteria. By applied the Pontryagin's Maximum principle, the study re-formulated and analyzed the co-epidemic model optimal control problem by incorporating four time dependent controlling variables. The study also carried out numerical simulations to verify the model qualitative results and to investigate the optimal impacts of the proposed optimal control strategies. The main finding of the study reveals that implementation of protections, COVID-19 vaccine, and treatment strategies simultaneously is the most effective optimal control strategy to tackle the HBV and COVID-19 co-epidemic spreading in the community.

Abstract
Since the global outbreak of COVID-19, the virus has continuously mutated and can survive in the air for long periods of time. This paper establishes and analyzes a model of COVID-19 with self-protection and quarantine measures affected by viruses in the environment to investigate the influence of viruses in the environment on the spread of the outbreak, as well as to develop a rational prevention and control measure to control the spread of the outbreak. The basic reproduction number was calculated and Lyapunov functions were constructed to discuss the stability of the model equilibrium points. The disease-free equilibrium point was proven to be globally asymptotically stable when $ R_0 < 1 $, and the endemic equilibrium point was globally asymptotically stable when $ R_0 > 1 $. The model was fitted using data from COVID-19 cases in Chongqing between November 1 to November 25, 2022. Based on the numerical analysis, the following conclusion was obtained: clearing the virus in the environment and strengthening the isolation measures for infected people can control the epidemic to a certain extent, but enhancing the self-protection of individuals can be more effective in reducing the risk of being infected and controlling the transmission of the epidemic, which is more conducive to the practical application.

Abstract
Since November 2021, there have been cases of COVID-19's Omicron strain spreading in competition with Delta strains in many parts of the world. To explore how these two strains developed in this competitive spread, a new compartmentalized model was established. First, we analyzed the fundamental properties of the model, obtained the expression of the basic reproduction number, proved the local and global asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium. Then by means of the cubic spline interpolation method, we obtained the data of new Omicron and Delta cases in the United States of new cases starting from December 8, 2021, to February 12, 2022. Using the weighted nonlinear least squares estimation method, we fitted six time series (cumulative confirmed cases, cumulative deaths, new cases, new deaths, new Omicron cases, and new Delta cases), got estimates of the unknown parameters, and obtained an approximation of the basic reproduction number in the United States during this time period as R 0 ≈ 1.5165 . Finally, each control strategy was evaluated by cost-effectiveness analysis to obtain the optimal control strategy under different perspectives. The results not only show the competitive transmission characteristics of the new strain and existing strain, but also provide scientific suggestions for effectively controlling the spread of these strains.

Abstract
In the repair of injury, some transforming growth factor-[Formula: see text]s (TGF-[Formula: see text]s) and platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) bind to fibroblast receptors as ligands and cause the differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts. When the injury repair is repeated, the myofibroblasts proliferate excessively, forming fibrotic tissue. We goal to control myofibroblasts proliferation and apoptosis with anti-transforming growth factor-[Formula: see text] (anti-TGF-[Formula: see text]) and anti-platelet-derived growth factor (anti-PDGF) medicines. The novel optimal regulator control problem with two controls (medicines) is proposed to simulate how to the preventing pulmonary fibrosis. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) consists of restoring a system of cells, protein, and tissue networks with injury and scar. Myofibroblasts proliferation back to its equilibrium position after it has been disturbed by abnormal repair. Thus, the optimal regulator control problem with a parabolic partial differential equation as a constraint, zero flux boundary, and given specific initial conditions, is considered. The myofibroblast diffusion equation stands as a governing dynamic system while the objective function is the summation of myofibroblast, anti-TGF-[Formula: see text] and anti-PDGF medicines for the fixed final time. Here, myofibroblast is a nonlinear state of time while anti-TGF-[Formula: see text] and anti-PDGF are two unknown control functions. In order to solve the corresponding problem a weighted Galerkin method is used. Firstly, we convert the myofibroblast diffusion equation to a system of ordinary differential equations using the Lagrangian interpolation polynomials defined at Gauss-Lobatto integration points. Secondly, by the calculus of variations, the optimal control problem is solved successfully using canonical Hamiltonian and extended Riccati equations. Numerical results are given, and the plots are depicted. Moreover, solutions to the problem in which there is no control are compared. Numerical results show that, over time, the myofibroblast increases and then remains constant when there is no control. In contrast, the current solution decreases and vanishes after 300 days by prescribing controller medicines for anti-TGF-[Formula: see text] and anti-PDGF. The optimal strategy proposed in this paper helps practitioners to reduce myofibroblasts by controlling both anti-TGF-[Formula: see text] and anti-PDGF medicines.

Abstract
The outbreak of a novel coronavirus causing severe acute respiratory syndrome in December 2019 has escalated into a worldwide pandemic. In this work, we propose a compartmental model to describe the dynamics of transmission of infection and use it to obtain the optimal vaccination control. The model accounts for the various stages of the vaccination, and the optimisation is focused on minimising the infections to protect the population and relieve the healthcare system. As a case study, we selected the Republic of Ireland. We use data provided by Ireland's COVID-19 Data-Hub and simulate the evolution of the pandemic with and without the vaccination in place for two different scenarios, one representative of a national lockdown situation and the other indicating looser restrictions in place. One of the main findings of our work is that the optimal approach would involve a vaccination programme where the older population is vaccinated in larger numbers earlier while simultaneously part of the younger population also gets vaccinated to lower the risk of transmission between groups. We compare our simulated results with those of the vaccination policy taken by the Irish government to explore the advantages of our optimisation method. Our comparison suggests that a similar reduction in cases may have been possible even with a reduced set of vaccinations available for use.

Assessing potential surge of COVID-19 cases and the need for booster vaccine amid emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants in Indonesia: A modelling study from West Java. Heliyon 2023; 9:e20009.

Abstract
Objectives Primary and booster vaccinations are crucial in COVID-19 control. This study aimed to assess the minimum booster coverage to hamper potential surge of COVID-19 cases in 2023 in Indonesia, a low-resource setting country. Methods We used a modified SEIR compartment model to assess different scenarios in booster coverage across West Java population: 35%, 50%, and 70%. We fitted the model, then we calculated the potential active cases in 2023 if each scenario was met before 2022 ends. A heat map of predicted cases from various booster coverages and time frames was produced and matched with vaccination rate's function to determine feasible time frames. Results A minimum of 70% booster coverage in West Java is needed to reduce 90% of potential COVID-19 cases and avert possible surge in 2023. The booster doses should be distributed before February 2023 to achieve its optimum preventive effect. Delays in achieving minimum booster coverage is acceptable, but higher booster coverage will be required. Conclusions For better COVID-19 control in Indonesia, booster vaccination is warranted, as presented by a case study in West Java. Sufficient vaccine supplies, infrastructure, and healthcare workers should be ensured to support a successful booster vaccination program.

Abstract
The emergence of a novel strain during a pandemic, like the current COVID-19, is a major concern to the healthcare system. The most effective strategy to control this type of pandemic is vaccination. Many previous studies suggest that the existing vaccine may not be fully effective against the new strain. Additionally, the new strain's late arrival has a significant impact on the disease dynamics and vaccine coverage. Focusing on these issues, this study presents a two-strain epidemic model in which the new strain appears with a time delay. We considered two vaccination provisions, namely preinfection and postinfection vaccinations, which are governed by human behavioral dynamics. In such a framework, individuals have the option to commit vaccination before being infected with the first strain. Additionally, people who forgo vaccination and become infected with the first train have the chance to be vaccinated (after recovery) in an attempt to avoid infection from the second strain. However, a second strain can infect vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. People may have additional opportunities to be vaccinated and to protect themselves from the second strain due to the time delay. Considering the cost of the vaccine, the severity of the new strain, and the vaccine's effectiveness, our results indicated that delaying the second strain decreases the peak size of the infected individuals. Finally, by estimating the social efficiency deficit, we discovered that the social dilemma for receiving immunization decreases with the delay in the arrival of the second strain.

Abstract
Covid-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, broke out as a pandemic during the beginning of 2020. The rapid spread of the disease prompted an unprecedented global response involving academic institutions, regulatory agencies, and industries. Vaccination and nonpharmaceutical interventions including social distancing have proven to be the most effective strategies to combat the pandemic. In this context, it is crucial to understand the dynamic behavior of the Covid-19 spread together with possible vaccination strategies. In this study, a susceptible-infected-removed-sick model with vaccination (SIRSi-vaccine) was proposed, accounting for the unreported yet infectious. The model considered the possibility of temporary immunity following infection or vaccination. Both situations contribute toward the spread of diseases. The transcritical bifurcation diagram of alternating and mutually exclusive stabilities for both disease-free and endemic equilibria were determined in the parameter space of vaccination rate and isolation index. The existing equilibrium conditions for both points were determined in terms of the epidemiological parameters of the model. The bifurcation diagram allowed us to estimate the maximum number of confirmed cases expected for each set of parameters. The model was fitted with data from São Paulo, the state capital of SP, Brazil, which describes the number of confirmed infected cases and the isolation index for the considered data window. Furthermore, simulation results demonstrate the possibility of periodic undamped oscillatory behavior of the susceptible population and the number of confirmed cases forced by the periodic small-amplitude oscillations in the isolation index. The main contributions of the proposed model are as follows: A minimum effort was required when vaccination was combined with social isolation, while additionally ensuring the existence of equilibrium points. The model could provide valuable information for policymakers, helping define disease prevention mitigation strategies that combine vaccination and non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as social distancing and the use of masks. In addition, the SIRSi-vaccine model facilitated the qualitative assessment of information regarding the unreported infected yet infectious cases, while considering temporary immunity, vaccination, and social isolation index.

Abstract
It is essential to evaluate patient outcomes at an early stage when dealing with a pandemic to provide optimal clinical care and resource management. Many methods have been proposed to provide a roadmap against different pandemics, including the recent pandemic disease COVID-19. Due to recurrent epidemic waves of COVID-19, which have been observed in many countries, mathematical modeling and forecasting of COVID-19 are still necessary as long as the world continues to battle against the pandemic. Modeling may aid in determining which interventions to try or predict future growth patterns. In this article, we design a combined approach for analyzing any pandemic in two separate parts. In the first part of the paper, we develop a recurrent SEIRS compartmental model to predict recurrent outbreak patterns of diseases. Due to its time-varying parameters, our model is able to reflect the dynamics of infectious diseases, and to measure the effectiveness of the restrictive measures. We discuss the stable solutions of the corresponding autonomous system with frozen parameters. We focus on the regime shifts and tipping points; then we investigate tipping phenomena due to parameter drifts in our time-varying parameters model that exhibits a bifurcation in the frozen-in case. Furthermore, we propose an optimal numerical design for estimating the system’s parameters. In the second part, we introduce machine learning models to strengthen the methodology of our paper in data analysis, particularly for prediction scenarios. We use MLP, RBF, LSTM, ANFIS, and GRNN for training and evaluation of COVID-19. Then, we compare the results with the recurrent dynamical system in the fitting process and prediction scenario. We also confirm results by implementing our methods on the released data on COVID-19 by WHO for Italy, Germany, Iran, and South Africa between 1/22/2020 and 7/24/2021, when people were engaged with different variants including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta. The results of this article show that the dynamic model is adequate for long-term analysis and data fitting, as well as obtaining parameters affecting the epidemic. However, it is ineffective in providing a long-term forecast. In contrast machine learning methods effectively provide disease prediction, although they do not provide analysis such as dynamic models. Finally, some metrics, including RMSE, R-Squared, and accuracy, are used to evaluate the machine learning models. These metrics confirm that ANFIS and RBF perform better than other methods in training and testing zones.

Abstract
This paper proposes a non-smooth human influenza model with logistic source to describe the impact on media coverage and quarantine of susceptible populations of the human influenza transmission process. First, we choose two thresholds $ I_{T} $ and $ S_{T} $ as a broken line control strategy: Once the number of infected people exceeds $ I_{T} $, the media influence comes into play, and when the number of susceptible individuals is greater than $ S_{T} $, the control by quarantine of susceptible individuals is open. Furthermore, by choosing different thresholds $ I_{T} $ and $ S_{T} $ and using Filippov theory, we study the dynamic behavior of the Filippov model with respect to all possible equilibria. It is shown that the Filippov system tends to the pseudo-equilibrium on sliding mode domain or one endemic equilibrium or bistability endemic equilibria under some conditions. The regular/virtulal equilibrium bifurcations are also given. Lastly, numerical simulation results show that choosing appropriate threshold values can prevent the outbreak of influenza, which implies media coverage and quarantine of susceptible individuals can effectively restrain the transmission of influenza. The non-smooth system with logistic source can provide some new insights for the prevention and control of human influenza.

Abstract
The currently ongoing COVID-19 outbreak remains a global health concern. Understanding the transmission modes of COVID-19 can help develop more effective prevention and control strategies. In this study, we devise a two-strain nonlinear dynamical model with the purpose to shed light on the effect of multiple factors on the outbreak of the epidemic. Our targeted model incorporates the simultaneous transmission of the mutant strain and wild strain, environmental transmission and the implementation of vaccination, in the context of shortage of essential medical resources. By using the nonlinear least-square method, the model is validated based on the daily case data of the second COVID-19 wave in India, which has triggered a heavy load of confirmed cases. We present the formula for the effective reproduction number and give an estimate of it over the time. By conducting Latin Hyperbolic Sampling (LHS), evaluating the partial rank correlation coefficients (PRCCs) and other sensitivity analysis, we have found that increasing the transmission probability in contact with the mutant strain, the proportion of infecteds with mutant strain, the ratio of probability of the vaccinated individuals being infected, or the indirect transmission rate, all could aggravate the outbreak by raising the total number of deaths. We also found that increasing the recovery rate of those infecteds with mutant strain while decreasing their disease-induced death rate, or raising the vaccination rate, both could alleviate the outbreak by reducing the deaths. Our results demonstrate that reducing the prevalence of the mutant strain, improving the clearance of the virus in the environment, and strengthening the ability to treat infected individuals are critical to mitigate and control the spread of COVID-19, especially in the resource-constrained regions.

Abstract
Omicron, a mutant strain of COVID-19, has been sweeping the world since November 2021. A major characteristic of Omicron transmission is that it is less harmful to healthy adults, but more dangerous for people with underlying disease, the elderly, or children. To simulate the spread of Omicron in the population, we developed a new 9-dimensional mathematical model with high-risk and low-risk exposures. Then we analyzed its dynamic properties and obtain the basic reproduction numberR 0 . With the data of confirmed cases from March 1, 2022 published on the official website of Shanghai, China, we used the weighted nonlinear least square estimation method to estimate the parameters, and get the basic reproduction numberR 0 ≈ 1 . 5118 . Finally, we considered three control measures (isolation, detection and treatment), and studied the optimal control strategy and cost-effectiveness analysis of the model. The control strategy G is determined to be the optimal control strategy from the purpose of making fewer people infected. In strategy G, the three human control measures contain six control variables, and the control strength of these variables needs to be varied according to the pattern shown in Figure 11, so that the number of infections can be minimized and the percentage of reduction of infections can reach more than 95%.

Abstract
A serological survey from CDC revealed more than 10% of individuals in America probably resolving or past infection with SARS-CoV-2 at the end of 2020, which illustrated there were massive unconfirmed asymptomatic infected people by contrast with the reported cases numbers. Asymptomatic patients as one of the crucial reasons for the COVID-19 pandemic being tough to contain, estimating the number of unconfirmed ones including the active infected and having cured in this population, is of great guiding significance for formulating epidemic prevention and control policies. This paper proposes a varying coefficient Susceptible-Infected-Removed-Susceptible (vSIRS) model to obtain the time series data of the unconfirmed asymptomatic infected numbers. Moreover, due to the time-varying coefficients, we can effectively track the situation changes of the COVID-19 intervened by related policy support and medical care level through this epidemiological model. A novel two-stage approach with a programming problem is correspondingly developed to accomplish the estimation of the unknown parameters in the vSIRS model. Subsequently, by leveraging seroprevalence data, daily reported cases data, and other clinical information, we apply the vSIRS model to analyze the evolution of COVID-19 in America. The modeling results show millions of active asymptomatic infected individuals were unconfirmed during the autumn and winter of 2020, which was a momentous factor for driving American COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Since the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, some people who have dropped out of online game have become re-addicted to it due to the order of stay-at-home, making the phenomenon of online game addiction even worse. Controlling the prevalence of online game addiction is of great significance to protect people's healthy life. For this purpose, a mathematical model of online game addiction with incomplete recovery and relapse is established. First, we analyze the basic properties of the model and obtain the expression of the basic reproduction number and all equilibria. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, the global asymptotical stability of the equilibria are proved. Then in the numerical simulation, we use the least squares estimation method to fit the real data of e-sports users in China from 2010 to 2020, and obtain the estimated value of all parameters. The approximation value of the basic reproduction number is obtained as R 0 ≈ 5.05 . The result reflects that the spread of game addiction in China is very serious. The stability of the equilibria are proved by using the estimated parameter values. Finally, the simulation results between with control and without control during 2020 to 2050 are compared, and the optimal control strategy is found by comparing the total infectious people. The results of optimal control suggest that if we increase our continuous attention to incompletely recovered people, we can prevent more people from becoming addicted to games. The findings in this paper reveal new mechanisms of game addiction transmission and demonstrate a more detailed and reliable control strategy.

Abstract
Racism and corruption are mind infections which affect almost all public and governmental sectors. However, we cannot find enough published literatures on mathematical model analyses of racism and corruption coexistence. In this study, we have contemplated the dynamics of racism and corruption coexistence in communities, using deterministic compartmental model to analyze and suggest proper control strategies to stakeholders. We used qualitative and comprehensive mathematical methods and analyzed both the racism model in the absence of corruption and the corruption model in the absence of racism. We have computed basic reproduction numbers by applying the next generation matrix method. The developed model has a disease-free equilibrium point that is locally asymptotically stable whenever the reproduction number is less than one. Additionally, we have done sensitivity analysis to observe the effect of the parameters on the incidence and transmission of the mind infections that deduce the transmission rates of both the racism and corruption are highly sensitive. The numerical simulation we have simulated showed that the endemic equilibrium point of racism and corruption coexistence model is locally asymptotically stable when max{ ℛ r, ℛ c} > 1, the effects of parameters on the basic reproduction numbers, and the effect of parameter on the infectious groups. Finally, the stakeholders must focus on minimizing the transmission rates and increasing the recovery (removed) rate for both racism and corruption action which can be considered prevention and controlling strategies.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is recognized as one of the most serious global health problems, and many countries implemented lockdown measures to mitigate the effects of the crisis caused by this respiratory infectious disease. In this study, we investigated the relationship between social distancing policies and changes in traffic volume in Sinchon Station, South Korea. We used an official COVID-19 report provided by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KCDA) and Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) to review social distancing policies, and the changes in traffic patterns before and during the COVID-19 pandemic between January 2020 and November 2021 were analyzed. Our study reveals that the changes in the overall traffic patterns from acceleration phases to deceleration phases of COVID-19 were related to the alert levels of social distancing policies implemented to tackle the situation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Herein, we found that a significant decline in traffic volume took place from August to September 2020 (13.5−19.7%, weekday; 19.4−31.7%, weekend), from December 2020 to January 2021 (20.0%−26.6%, weekday; 26.8−34.0%, weekend), and from July to September 2021 (3.2−13.1%, weekday; 38.3−44.7%, weekend) when compared to the corresponding periods in 2019 (paired t-test; p < 0.001). The results of this study provide strong support for the effectiveness of Seoul’s preemptive measures, namely, the central government’s intensive social distancing campaign, in managing and reducing the impact of the pandemic situation based on the precise analysis of 10 types of facilities.

Abstract
Multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2 have emerged but the effectiveness of existing COVID-19 vaccines against variants has been reduced, which bring new challenges to the control and mitigation of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, a mathematical model for mutated COVID-19 with quarantine, isolation and vaccination is developed for studying current pandemic transmission. The basic reproduction number $ \mathscr{R}_{0} $ is obtained. It is proved that the disease free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if $ \mathscr{R}_{0} < 1 $ and unstable if $ \mathscr{R}_{0} > 1 $. And numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate our main results. The COVID-19 pandemic mainly caused by Delta variant in South Korea is analyzed by using this model and the unknown parameters are estimated by fitting to real data. The epidemic situation is predicted, and the prediction result is basically consistent with the actual data. Finally, we investigate several critical model parameters to access the impact of quarantine and vaccination on the control of COVID-19, including quarantine rate, quarantine effectiveness, vaccination rate, vaccine efficacy and rate of immunity loss.
