Book Description
The Tokyo 2020 Games have been postponed one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to lead the Games to success, the Organising Committee for the Olympic Games collaborated with related organizations and implement necessary measures against infection diseases, including the establishment of an environment from athletes' entry into Japan and departing from Japan and awareness-raising on behavioral patterns based on basic rules. In addition, in order to ensure the safety and security of all visitors to the Tokyo 2020 Games, the OCOG identified the risks from the perspectives of infection diseases control, security measures, cybersecurity, and disaster response, formulate guidelines for handling various situations and conduct practical training. In addition, they established a crisis management system for safety and security that unites public and private sectors by strengthening cooperation with related organizations such as the national government and the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee and clarifying the division of roles. Also, the City Operation Center was set up during the Games to support smooth Games operation and alleviate the impact on the life of Tokyo residents. This report presents all these elements.

Book Description
"This document presents the key issues to be considered in the process of setting up and implementing public health alert, response and operational plans for MGs. It sets out methods for assessing the needs of the MG, determining the ability of existing systems to meet those needs, and modifying and strengthening those systems where required. It provides advice about prevention, detection and management of public health incidents, as well as the integration of the full range of public health activities into the MG planning process. It addresses the many different types of MG, provides case studies of the work undertaken for public health activities at various MGs, and supporting papers and additional resources to support the information here. This document has been developed primarily for public health professionals, as well as key policy makers, planners and executive personnel. In addition to those in the health sector, there are many outside authorities involved in contributing to healthy outcomes at MGs, who will also find this document useful. It is further anticipated that it will be a valuable resource for event promoters and managers, emergency service personnel, government bodies, and any organizations or individuals who contribute to the organization of MGs. Wide distribution should be encouraged, providing it is understood that while many factors influence the wellbeing of those attending MGs, the detailed contents of this document are directed principally at managing public health issues that influence health and safety at a MG."--Page 12.
In All Likelihood

Pages : 626
Book Description
Based on a course in the theory of statistics this text concentrates on what can be achieved using the likelihood/Fisherian method of taking account of uncertainty when studying a statistical problem. It takes the concept ot the likelihood as providing the best methods for unifying the demands of statistical modelling and the theory of inference. Every likelihood concept is illustrated by realistic examples, which are not compromised by computational problems. Examples range from a simile comparison of two accident rates, to complex studies that require generalised linear or semiparametric modelling. The emphasis is that the likelihood is not simply a device to produce an estimate, but an important tool for modelling. The book generally takes an informal approach, where most important results are established using heuristic arguments and motivated with realistic examples. With the currently available computing power, examples are not contrived to allow a closed analytical solution, and the book can concentrate on the statistical aspects of the data modelling. In addition to classical likelihood theory, the book covers many modern topics such as generalized linear models and mixed models, non parametric smoothing, robustness, the EM algorithm and empirical likelihood.

Book Description
Governments, businesses, and individuals around the world are thinking about what happens after the COVID-19 pandemic. Can we hope to not only ward off another COVID-like disaster but also eliminate all respiratory diseases, including the flu? Bill Gates, one of our greatest and most effective thinkers and activists, believes the answer is yes. The author of the #1 New York Times best seller How to Avoid a Climate Disaster lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should have learned from COVID-19 and what all of us can do to ward off another catastrophe like it. Relying on the shared knowledge of the world’s foremost experts and on his own experience of combating fatal diseases through the Gates Foundation, Gates first helps us understand the science of infectious diseases. Then he shows us how the nations of the world, working in conjunction with one another and with the private sector, how we can prevent a new pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy. Here is a clarion call—strong, comprehensive, and of the gravest importance.
