An index to quantify individual social responsibility in the decision to be vaccinated
(2018)
In the context of generic infectious disease studies, the aim of this paper is to quantify and represent the individual social responsibility based on whether or not a single individual is vaccinated. Although the objective ...
An educational intervention on the risk perception of pesticides exposure and organophosphate metabolites urinary concentrations in rural school children in Maule Region, Chile
(2019)
Background: Organophosphate (OP) pesticides can be hazardous to human health if not applied with appropriate precautions. There is evidence in the Maule region of Chile that rural schoolchildren are exposed to OP ...
Susceptibility to organophosphates pesticides and the development of infectious-contagious respiratory diseases
(2020)
In this paper we develop an SIRS compartmental model to investigate the dynamic interplay between pesticide intoxication and the spread of infectious-contagious respiratory diseases. We are particularly interested in ...
Longitudinal exposure to pyrethroids (3-PBA and trans-DCCA) and 2,4-D herbicide in rural schoolchildren of Maule region, Chile
(2020)
Background: Several studies showed that early exposure to pesticides affects the development and health of children. In Maule, there is previous evidence of the high exposure to organophosphate pesticides (OP) of schoolchildren. ...

(2020)
Mediante un modelo matemático este trabajo explora la problemática de la disponibilidad versus sobredemanda de procesos críticos hospitalarias (por ejemplo, camas críticas) ante una fuerte expansión epidémica como la que ...
Pesticide application, educational treatment and infectious respiratory diseases. A mechanistic model with two impulsive controls
(2020)
