Dengue Fever: A Continuous Threat

Dengue fever is a vector borne disease and is caused by DEN Virus. This virus has four different serotypes. The vectors are two mosquitoes known as Aedesaegypti (the yellow fever mosquito) and Aedesalbopictus(the Asian tiger mosquito).  First case of dengue fever was reported back in 1994 in Karachi. A complete outbreak of this epidemic shook the whole nation in 2012. Uptill now, Lahore a city full of culture, witnessed about 16,580 confirmed cases and 257 deaths. About 5000 confirmed cases with 60 deaths were reported from the rest of the provinces. Under guidelines of WHO, Government has made efforts to combat this epidemic. Although the overall efforts have minimized the outbreak on controllable levels but dengue fever is a continuous threat. Since no permanent cure is available, the transmission of DEN virus is controlled indirectly. So the prime focus is to control mosquito population and decrease the possible hot spots i.e. Mosquito breeding sites in human habitations. Every year, the country witnesses monsoon season which brings vast areas full of clear standing waters providing breeding sites for mosquitoes which ultimately leads to increased number of patients suffering from dengue fever. Efforts have been made to fight against dengue including formation of dengue wards in hospitals, vector surveillance, community education, reactive vector control etc. A study has shown prevalence of four mosquito genera in Pakistan including Aedes, Culex, Armigeresand Anopheles. All of the above mentioned genera are associated with disease transmissions as they are the vectors of different viruses and parasites. It is the need of hour to do a collaborative effort stressing the community mobilization and management in war against dengue.

Metrics for Identifying Research Trends Using Academic Social Network: A Case of Business Process Management

Academic Social Networks are the representation of researcher?s interaction with other researchers during exchange of information and development of research work. In this research, social network analysis techniques are used to analyze co-authorship networks, and analyze the affiliation changing patterns in researchers for the discipline of business process management. Relationship between the authors, institutes/universities and hosting countries have been analyzed and key contributors have been identified by presenting aggregate analysis of academic social networks and productivity at individuals, institutes and countries is quantified. Additionally our results are compared at individual, institute and at country levels with previous work done based on research work presented in business process management conferences.The study concludes firstly, Wil M. P. van der Aalst and Technology University of Eindhoven have formed largest collaboration networks at individual and institute levels respectively. Secondly, Institutes in USA are producing more research that institutes in Europe. Thirdly, Cooperation between institutes is stronger than cooperation between individual authors.
