Preparing for the next respiratory pathogen pandemic
The Preparedness and Resilience for Emerging Threats (PRET) initiative takes an innovative mode-of-transmission approach to pandemic planning by advocating for integrated preparedness and response systems and capacities for groups of pathogens with common transmission pathways. The World Health Organization (WHO) launched this initiative in 2023 with the publication of PRET Module 1 addressing respiratory pathogens. Exercise PanPRET-1 is a custom…
Expressions of pandemic fatigue on digital platforms
This paper has identified the different ways users express pandemic fatigue on digital channels over a 3-month period. Better understanding the implications of the information environment on user's perceptions, questions, and concerns regarding pandemic and more broadly emergency fatigue is vital in identifying relevant interventions and, in the longer term, strengthening the global architecture for health emergency preparedness, prevention, read…
Strengthening pathogen genomic surveillance for health emergencies
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a rapid scale-up in the use of genomic surveillance as a pandemic preparedness and response tool. As a result, the number of countries with in-country SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequencing capability increased by 40% from February 2021 to July 2022. The Global Genomic Surveillance Strategy for Pathogens with Pandemic and Epidemic Potential 2022–2032 was launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March …
Managing Infodemics in the 21st Century
This open access book on infodemic management reviews the current discussions about this evolving area of public health from a variety of perspectives
How Ibn Saud Became a Romanticized Legend in the U.S., British and French Press (1920–1953)
Despite the vast research on Abdulaziz Ibn Saud, the founder of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there has been little attention given to the impact of his representation by the British, French and U.S. press in the first half of the twentieth century. The man who built the kingdom in line with his Islamic sect’s doctrine has been portrayed as a puritan reformer and a modernist, in sharp contrast with the negative representation of other Arabs who ha…
A review and agenda for integrated disease models including social and behavioural factors
Studying the Covid-19 infodemic at scale
This special theme issue of Big Data & Society presents leading-edge, interdisciplinary research that focuses on examining how health-related (mis-)information is circulating on social media. In particular, we are focusing on how computational and Big Data approaches can help to provide a better understanding of the ongoing COVID-19 infodemic (overexposure to both accurate and misleading information on a health topic) and to develop effective str…
Systems thinking for health emergencies
Process mapping is a systems thinking approach used to understand, analyse and optimise processes within complex systems. We aim to demonstrate how this methodology can be applied during disease outbreaks to strengthen response and health systems. Process mapping exercises were conducted during three unique emerging disease outbreak contexts with different: mode of transmission, size, and health system infrastructure. System functioning improved …
Après la pandémie, le temps des réformes
Claudine Burton-Jeangros : Comment cette médecine de surveillance s’est-elle imposée et comment expliquer qu’autant de moyens aient été alloués à la grippe A (H1N1) ? Sylvie Briand : Dans les années 1960, on pensait que l’on en avait fini avec les maladies infectieuses. Il y avait des antibiotiques et des vaccins pour la plupart des maladies graves. Mais avec la pandémie du sida, que l’on découvre dans les années 1980, il y a eu un regain d’intér…
Les fous de Bassan d’Anne Hébert ou l’apocalypse du griffon
Anne Hébert a toujours pratiqué un art dit manichéen, jouant sur les contrastes, les inversions, les ambivalences. Le roman Les fous de Bassan ne fait pas exception à cette règle, au contraire. L'article propose une lecture de ce roman qui tient compte des dualités thématiques qui le régissent, parmi lesquelles se trouvent les tiraillements entre le réel et l'imaginaire, la polyphonie des voix, et l'écriture apocalyptique
