Early Warning for Infectious Disease Outbreak: Theory and Practice
is divided into three parts, with the first section introducing
basic theory and key technologies of early warning and the basic
principles of infectious disease surveillance. The second section
introduces the technical details in the process of establishment,
operation and usage of CIDARS and Pudong Syndromic Surveillance and
the Early Warning System of the Shanghai World Expo. The third part
explores the study of early warning technology, collecting some
useful exploration in the fields of infectious diseases involving
sentinel setting, data analysis, influence factors study,
calculation and evaluation of early warning models.
First published in 1963, Advances in Parasitology contains
comprehensive and up-to-date reviews in all areas of interest in
contemporary parasitology. Advances in Parasitology includes
medical studies of parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium
falciparum and trypanosomes. The series also contains reviews of
more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life
history, which shape current thinking and applications. The 2012
impact factor is 3.778.
The Chinese are fond of using four-character phrases, known as
cheng yu, to improve their writing style. The Chinese characters on
the cover spell out one such idiom: pao zhuan yin yu. Translated
literally, this would be "throw bricks attract jade." It can also
express the idea of throwing out something of little value to
induce a potential business partner to offer something more
valuable. The authors of Turning Bricks into Jade, a more idiomatic
rendering of pao zhuan yin yu, like to think of each critical
incident in this collection as a brick, which, when combined with
similar bricks, good sense and effort, can be used to construct
relationships more valuable even than jade. A critical incident is
a story about cross-cultural conflict or misunderstanding. Many of
the forty-one incidents are based on actual events that involved
one or more of the authors or their acquaintances. Some are a
composite of several authors' experiences. You choose one of four
or five possible alternatives that explain the misunderstanding.
Following each incident is a discussion of possible solutions,
based on the authors' experiences and grounded in current research.
Misunderstandings between Chinese and American interactants are
complicated; there is almost never just one thing going on. One
result of this complexity is that many of the incidents have more
than one correct explanation. Forty-one Americans and Chinese with
considerable experience in both cultures read the collection of
incidents for validation. As you work through the incidents, you
may feel the need for a more detailed explanation or definition of
certain recurring themes. A section on key theoretical concepts in
Chinese-American interactions provides such detail. Included are
individualism and collectivism, guanxi (interpersonal connections),
hierarchies, gender relations in the workplace, regulations,
deference to authority, work incentives and ownership. The Index of
Incidents According to Themes and Concepts is also helpful.
