2. 1. Game theory and applications

   Author : Carl-Joar Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; non-cooperative game theory; prisoner s dilemma; disease; distribution; compartmental model; epidemiological model; game theory; equilibrium strategy;

   Abstract : Individual-level interactions and decisions spread though populations and change the collective-level dynamics in an intricate way. Nevertheless, game theory is well suited for the unification of these viewpoints. READ MORE

4. 2. Dynamics of Coinfection : Complexity and Implications

   Author : Samia Ghersheen; Vladimir Kozlov; Uno Wennergren; Vladimir Tkachev; Åke Brännström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Living beings are always on risk from multiple infectious agents in individual or in groups. Though multiple pathogens' interactions have widely been studied in epidemiology. Despite being well known, the co-existence of these pathogens and their coinfection remained a mystery to be uncovered. READ MORE

5. 3. Stochastic dynamic modelling and statistical analysis of infectious disease spread and cancer treatment

   Author : Theresa Stocks; Tom Britton; Michael Höhle; Daniela De Angelis; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical modelling; infectious disease spread; cancer treatment; statistical inference; population dynamics; birth-death process; partially observed Markov process; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

   Abstract : Mathematical models have proven valuable for public health decision makers as they can provide insights into the understanding, control and, ultimately, the prevention of diseases. This thesis contains four manuscripts dealing with stochastic dynamic modelling and statistical analysis of infectious disease spread and optimization of cancer treatment. READ MORE

6. 4. Clostridioides difficile infections: Preventive strategies

   Author : Jon Edman-Wallér; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clostridioides difficile; Transmission; Antibiotic stewardship; Outbreak surveillance; Mathematical modelling; Infection Prevention and Control;

   Abstract : Clostridioides difficile infections primarily affect elderly, hospitalised patients treated with antibiotics and are among the most common healthcare-related infections. This thesis aimed to improve the understanding of the best prevention strategies for this disease, particularly in a Swedish setting. READ MORE

7. 5. Stochastic epidemics on random networks

   Author : Abid Ali Lashari; Pieter Trapman; Filip Lindskog; Peter Neal; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Branching process; Configuration model; Random graph; Epidemic process; Final size; Threshold behaviour; Duration of an epidemic; Vaccination; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

   Abstract : This thesis considers stochastic epidemic models for the spread of epidemics in structured populations. The asymptotic behaviour of the models is analysed by using branching process approximations. The thesis contains four manuscripts. READ MORE
