- ItemBenchmarking the Covid-19 pandemic across countries and states in the USA under heterogeneous testing(2020) Asahi Kodama, Kenzo Javier; Undurraga Fourcade, Eduardo Andrés; Wagner, RodrigoPublic health officials need to make urgent decisions to reduce the potential impact of the CoVID-19 pandemic. Benchmarking based on the increase in total cases or case fatality rates is one way of comparing performance across countries or territories (such as states in the USA), and could inform policy decisions about COVID-19 mitigation strategies. But comparing cases and fatality across territories is challenging due to heterogeneity in testing and health systems. We show two complementary ways of benchmarking across countries or US states. First, we used multivariate regressions to estimate the test-elasticity-of-COVID-19-case-incidence. We found a 10% increase in testing yielded ~9% (95% CI:4.2–3.4%; p<0.001) increase in reported cases across countries, and ~2% (95%CI:0.1-3.4%; p=0.03) increase across US states during the week ending April 10th, 2020. We found comparable negative elasticities for fatality rates (across countries: β =-0.77, 95%CI:-1.40– -0.14; p=0.02; US states: β=-0.15, 95%CI:-0.30-0.01; p=0.06). Our results were robust to various model specifications. Second, we decomposed the growth in cases into test growth and positive test ratio (PTR) growth to intuitively visualize the components of case growth. We hope these results can help support evidence-based decisions by public health officials as more consistent data hopefully becomes available.
- ItemEstigmatización territorial y la (re)construcción histórica del “enemigo interno” en Santiago de Chile: análisis de noticias a través de técnicas de minería de texto(2021) Ruiz-Tagle, Javier; Álvarez, Martín; Salas, Roberto; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Instituto de Estudios UrbanosEn el presente documento de trabajo presentamos un análisis preliminar de una investigación en curso sobre estigmatización territorial en poblaciones marginales de Santiago de Chile. En dicha investigación, utilizamos una amplia base de datos de noticias históricas del diario El Mercurio, y estudiamos el tipo y nivel de estigmatización que emana del contenido de tales noticias, a través de instrumentos de minería de texto. Así, dividimos el documento en cuatro partes. En una primera parte, describimos los elementos básicos de la teoría acerca de la estigmatización territorial. En una segunda parte, detallamos la metodología utilizada y el contexto sociohistórico de las poblaciones estudiadas. En una tercera parte entregamos varios resultados descriptivos, y en una última parte reflexionamos brevemente sobre la construcción de noticias de prensa desde una perspectiva histórica.

- ItemNonlinear time-series forecasts for decision support: short-termdemand for ICU beds in Santiago, Chile, during the 2021COVID-19 pandemic(2022) Quiroga Gómez, Bernardo Francisco; Vásquez, Cristián; Vicuña Loyola, María IgnaciaIn Chile, due to the explosive increase of new Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases during the first part of 2021, the ability of health services to accommodate new incoming cases was jeopardized. It has become necessary to be able to manage intensive care unit (ICU) capacity, and for this purpose, monitoring both the evolution of new cases and the demand for ICU beds has become urgent. This paper presents short-term forecast models for the number of new cases and the number of COVID-19 patients admitted to ICUs in the Metropolitan Region in Chile.

- ItemPowering Up productivity: the effects of electrification on U.S. manufacturingFiszbein, Martin ; Lafortune, Jeanne; Lewis, Ethan G.; Tessada, JoséWe use 1890-1940 sector-county level data to identify the impact of electricity on manufacturing industries, exploiting pre-electrification variation in energy intensity across industries combined with variation across locations in proximity to early hydroelectric power plants. We find that labor productivity gains from electricity were rapid and long-lasting, in contrast with established narratives. Electrification was quickly accompanied by capital deepening and organizational changes that may have contributed to these gains. Impacts varied with market structure: productivity increased without expanding employment in sector-county cells with large initial firm size, while, in contrast, both output and employment increased in cells with small initial firm size.

The host galaxy appears to be PGC 67413 = ESO 145-G16. Joseph Brimacombe, Cairns, Australia, reports that ten stacked 600-s CCD images (limiting magnitude 20) taken remotely with a 32-cm RCOS telescope (+ STL6K camera + clear filter) at the Macedon Ranges Observatory near Melbourne, Australia, on Aug. 29.727 show the new object to be at mag 18.3 and located approximately 7" west and 7" south of the presumed host-galaxy nucleus. Another stacked image (seven 1200-s frames; limiting magnitude 20), taken by Brimacombe on Sept. 2.636 with a 40-cm RCOS telescope (+ U16 camera + red filter) at the Coral Towers Observatory (Cairns), yields mag 18.6 for 2010hj; the Sept. 2 stacked image has been posted at the following website URL: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43846774@N02/4952444311/....

They note that the new object lies 5".4 east and 1".1 north from a galaxy seen in Sloan Digital Sky Survey images with measured redshift z = 0.109; the current luminosity of 2010iw appears too high for it to be a regular supernova associated with this distant galaxy. The host galaxy is thus is likely to be UGC 4570 (at redshift z = 0.0215)....

Drake writes that the presumed host galaxy has redshift z = 0.0060. The object was given the designation PSN J11544925-1651436 when posted by Drake on the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage, and based on the spectroscopy below is here assigned the final designation SN 2011ae. D. K. Sahu, S. Arora, and P. Anto, Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, report that a low-resolution spectrogram (range 350-930 nm) of 2011ae, obtained on Feb. 21.75 UT with the Indian Astronomical Observatory's 2-m Himalayan Chandra Telescope (+ HFOSC), shows it to be a normal type-Ia supernova, a few days before maximum light. Using the SNID code of Blondin and Tonry (2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024), the spectrum of 2011ae is found to best match that of SN 1990N at about 5 days before maximum light. Adopting a recession velocity of 1813 km/s for the presumed host galaxy (de Vaucouleurs et al. 1991, Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies), MCG -03-30-19, the velocity corresponding to the Si II 635.5-nm absorption line is 12500 km/s....

This object was designated PSN J02255436+1023111 when posted at the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage by Drake, and based on the spectroscopy below is here designated SN 2011af. Kuiyun Huang and Yoichi Ohyama, Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Academia Sinica; Chia-Jung Chuang, Yuji Urata, and Induk Lee, National Central University, Taiwan; and Eric Y. Hsiao, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, report that the inspection of a CCD spectrum (range 400-900 nm), obtained on Jan. 29.5 UT with the 1.8-m Ritchey Cretien reflector and medium dispersion spectrometer at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory, Korea, shows that SN 2011af is a type-IIn supernova. The spectrum consists of a flat continuum and prominent narrow emission lines of the Balmer series (H-alpha FWHM of about 1500 km/s), with the narrow peaks yielding a redshift of 0.064. The "superfit" program of Howell et al. (2005, Ap.J. 634, 1190) shows its spectrum to be an excellent match to that of SN 1988Z. SN 2011af is measured to have a magnitude r' about 17.2 on Feb. 7.46 UT with the 1-m telescope at the Lulin Observatory in Taiwan; this corresponds to an absolute magnitude of about -20, nearly a month past its initial discovery....

The "superfit" software of Howell et al. (2005, Ap.J. 634, 1190) identified the spectrum as that of a type-Ia supernova around a week past maximum. The redshift matches that of the reported host galaxy (PGC 11943): z = 0.032. The spectrum closely resembles that of SN 1998bu at 10 days past maximum (Jha et al. 1999, Ap.J. Suppl. 125, 73)....
