Improved policy mechanisms for the promotion of future digital business economy during covid-19 pandemic

Recent advances in the field of digital technology have enabled the expansion of the business market to a new level. Digital business markets encompass eminent features like increased transparency, enhanced customer relationship, flexible business targets, customer participation, etc. It aids in enhancing traditional business quality by bridging the relationship between the suppliers and the customers. The massive development of internet technology in recent years has largely contributed to the emergence of digital business. The digitization of the business world helps small and medium enterprises create a new digital network, which allows overcoming large enterprises' dominance. Since small and medium enterprises play a major role in determining a country's economy, the digital market's emergence and development are very important. The self-organizing capability of the digital market is the main advantage for newly emerging enterprises. Recently, the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in customers' migration from offline shopping to the online market. These changing business models mandate the need for policies and control mechanisms. Using these policies, digital business projects are developed using an open environment using which the small and medium enterprises can interact with each other. These policies and control mechanisms outline the rules to be followed to avoid the current digital market issues. These policies must be designed to improve and ensure the welfare of future digital business systems. Thus, this paper aims to explore the policies associated with regulating and promoting the digital business economy.

A Review of Cyber Threats to Medical Devices Integration with Electronic Medical Records

Medical devices and Electronic Medical Records (EMR) have been technologically integrated, transforming their independent structure and functionality. There is a significant increase in medical device deployment in healthcare institutions. However, the integration exposes them to cyber threats, which can undermine effective care delivery and threaten patient safety. The World Health Organization has noticed a significant rise in cyberattacks following the COVID-19 outbreak. This paper reviews the literature on cyber threats affecting the medical device integration with EMR (MDI-EMR). It highlights the cyber threats to the MDI-EMR and the effectiveness of control mechanisms. The most common cyber threats to MD include phishing, ransomware attacks, data breaches, Distributed Denial of Service attacks, and SQL injection. Security challenges associated with the EMR and medical devices are also threating their confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The review enables researchers to better understand safety, security and privacy issues related to the MD-EMR, as well as available solutions. © 2022 IEEE.

Big Data assisted Strategy for Resuming of Work and Production during COVID-19

In April 2020, with the development of the nationwide epidemic prevention and control work, the epidemic situation of New Coronavirus has entered a stable stage. However, the resumption of production and recovery is crucial to maintain the stable development of economy and society. Imminent. Therefore, how to co-ordinate the epidemic prevention and control and return to work has become another major challenge for governments at all levels. The joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council issued a document requiring all localities to 'conduct accurate prevention and control in different regions and levels, and coordinate the prevention and control of epidemic situation and the restoration of economic and social order'. In this context, China Unicom gives full play to the unique advantages of multi-source, massive and integrated big data of operators, and helps enterprises to resume work and production from four aspects: real-time insight of regional return to work rate, grid risk index assessment, risk analysis of regional population inflow, and risk analysis of employees' travel mode, so as to provide support for enterprise decision makers and formulate scientific policies and means, gradually realize the full return to work. © 2021 IEEE.

Modeling and Evaluation of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism for Curbing COVID-19 in Wuhan.

The spread of COVID-19 in Wuhan was successfully curbed under the strategy of "Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism." To understand how this measure stopped the epidemics in Wuhan, we establish a compartmental model with time-varying parameters over different stages. In the early stage of the epidemic, due to resource limitations, the number of daily reported cases may lower than the actual number. We employ a dynamic-based approach to calibrate the accumulated clinically diagnosed data with a sudden jump on February 12 and 13. The model simulation shows reasonably good match with the adjusted data which allows the prediction of the cumulative confirmed cases. Numerical results reveal that the "Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism" played a significant role on the containment of COVID-19. The spread of COVID-19 cannot be inhibited if any of the measures was not effectively implemented. Our analysis also illustrates that the Fangcang Shelter Hospitals are very helpful when the beds in the designated hospitals are insufficient. Comprised with Fangcang Shelter Hospitals, the designated hospitals can contain the transmission of COVID-19 more effectively. Our findings suggest that the combined multiple measures are essential to curb an ongoing epidemic if the prevention and control measures can be fully implemented.

Thought on Establishing the Joint Prevention, Control and Disposal Mechanism of Medical Waste under the COVID-19 Epidemic

A range of shortcomings was exposed in China's medical waste disposal capabilities in responding to public health emergencies under outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) epidemic. Especially, the traditional medical waste disposal capacity allocation and the prevention and control mechanism oriented to 'a single city' have been far from meeting the needs of medical waste disposal and management during the emergency period. Therefore, suggestions on establishing the regional joint prevention, control and disposal mechanism of medical waste were put forward in this paper with reference to the ideas of China's existing regional joint prevention and control mechanism for air and water pollution, which covered the aspects of establishment of coordinating agencies, cross-regional collaborative disposal, cross-regional joint response to emergencies, cross-regional collaborative management and effectiveness evaluation. © 2021 The authors and IOS Press.

Prevention and control mechanism for coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic at the primary level: perspective from China.

After the 2003 SARS epidemic, China started constructing a primary-level emergency response system and focused on strengthening and implementation of policies, resource allocation. After 17 years of restructuring, China's primary-level response capabilities towards public health emergencies have greatly improved. During the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, primary-level administrative and medical personnel, social organisations, volunteers, etc. have played a significant role in providing professional services utilising the primary-level emergency response system of 17 years. However, China's organisations did not learn their lesson from the SARS epidemic, and certain problems are exposed in the system. By analysing the experience and shortcomings of China's disease prevention and control system at the primary level, we can focus on the development of disease control systems for major epidemics in the future.

A Citywide 'Virus Testing': Chinese Government's Response to Preventing and Controlling the Second Outbreak of SARS-CoV-2.

Containing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 is a daunting challenge globally. China, as well as a handful of other countries, has, for the most part, contained it by implementing strict policies. Wuhan's citywide virus-testing program presents a way forward in preventing and controlling the uncertainty, anxiety, instability and complexity it faces over the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2. Inarguably, the health crisis requires time-tested strategies and tactics for coordinating governments' and social entities' response to the health crisis, with a goal toward having and ensuring sustained effectiveness. Because of a possible recurrence of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, the Prevention and Control Headquarters of Wuhan on COVID-19 launched a massive virus testing of Wuhan's 11 million residents; it was completed within 10 days. In light of this unprecedented mass testing, this study applies the situational crisis communication theory to analyze this massive virus-testing process and the mechanisms involved to contain SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan. While many countries still have partial lockdowns, the second outbreak in Wuhan was an indication of what awaited all SARS-CoV-2-stricken countries post-lockdowns and after community restrictions had been lifted. Therefore, the recently implemented Wuhan control mechanism (in cities, districts and townships) may become a hortatory guide to other world regions as they contend with and consider appropriate measures to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and to ensure public safety.
