[To be read before The Royal Statistical Society at the Society’s 2021 annual conference held inManchester on Wednesday, September 8th, 2021, the President, Professor Sylvia Richardson, in theChair]. Abstract. This article reviews some early investigations and research studies in the first weeks of the coron-avirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic from a statistician’s perspective. These investigations werebased on very small datasets but were momentous in the initial global reactions to the pandemic. Thearticle discusses the initial evidence of high infectiousness of COVID-19 and why that conclusion wasnot reached faster than in reality. Further reanalyses of some published COVID-19 studies show thatthe epidemic growth was dramatically underestimated by compartmental models, and the lack of fitcould have been clearly identified by simple data visualization. Finally, some lessons for statisticiansare discussed.Keywords: Infectious disease modeling; Selection bias; COVID-19; Model diagnostics. 1 Introduction. Starting from a regional disease outbreak in Wuhan, China, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)rapidly grew into a once-in-a-lifetime

18 Feb 2019: 1945年9月2日に「大日本帝国」が崩壊し、第二次世界大戦後の東アジアは新政治秩序が模索されていった。少し後に東西の冷戦が始まり、各地のガバナンスをめぐり強い緊張関係が生じた。たとえば、1946年から中国東北を主戦場として国民党と共産党による内戦が再開され、49年に中華人民共和国が建国された。47年春には台湾で国民党による白色テロ228事件が、48年春には同様の白色テロ43事件が南朝鮮済州島で勃発し、いずれも多くの住民が虐殺された。そして、50年に朝鮮半島で南北朝鮮がぶつかり合う動乱が勃発し、米国と中国が参戦して200万以上もが亡くなるという朝鮮戦争が戦われた。. このような東アジアでの急激な社会変動に伴い、多くの人の移動がもたらされた。その主たるものは引揚げであった。植民地に住む360万の日本人の引揚げが命じられただけでなく、日本や満洲に住む400万の朝鮮人等の引揚げも命じられた。同時に、満洲や樺太の朝鮮人等は定住が許可されるなど、その政策は複雑であった。

Runcie Room, Faculty of Divinity. Event date:. Tuesday, 7 May, 2024 - 14:00. Event organiser:. lecture given by Prof. Shih-shan Susan Huang 黃士珊, Rice University. Susan Huang_Cambridge talk image.jpeg. The 1450s represent a landmark decade for the history of the book and print culture. In Christian Europe, Johannes Gutenberg’s Bible, the first moveable-type book, is rightfully celebrated, but often mistakenly described as the beginning of printing worldwide. Mistakenly, because in Beijing, at the very same time, an indigenous Chinese Buddhist book, the Dharani Sutra of the Buddha’s Essence (Fodingxin tuoluoni jing佛頂心陀羅尼經), was becoming the most popular illustrated Buddhist book in print; and it was printed, often on-demand, using a woodblock printing technology that had been in use in East Asia already for centuries. The text represents a melding of cultural traditions and beliefs, integrating a long-standing devotion to the compassionate bodhisattva Guanyin 觀音 (Avalokiteśvara), elements of talismanic
