    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Tracking the early depleting transmission dynamics of COVID‑19 with a time‑varying SIR model Kian Boon Law1*, Kalaiarasu M. Peariasamy1, Balvinder Singh Gill2, Sarbhan Singh2, Bala Murali Sundram2, Kamesh Rajendran2, Sarat Chandra Dass3, Yi Lin Lee1, Pik Pin Goh1, Hishamshah Ibrahim4 & Noor Hisham Abdullah4 The susceptible‑infectious‑removed (SIR) model ofers the simplest framework to study transmission dynamics of COVID‑19, however, it does not factor in its early depleting trend observed during a lockdown. We modifed the SIR model to specifcally simulate the early depleting transmission dynamics of COVID‑19 to better predict its temporal trend in Malaysia. The classical SIR model was ftted to observed total (I total), active (I) and removed (R) cases of COVID‑19 before lockdown to estimate the basic reproduction number. Next, the model was modifed with a partial time‑varying force of infection, given by a proportionally depleting transmission coefcient, βt and a fractional term, z. The modifed SIR model was then ftted to observed data over 6 weeks during the lockdown. Model ftting and projection were validated using the mean absolute percent error (MAPE). The transmission dynamics of COVID‑19 was interrupted immediately by the lockdown. The modifed SIR model projected the depleting temporal trends with lowest MAPE for I total, followed by I, I daily and R. During lockdown, the dynamics of COVID‑19 depleted at a rate of 4.7% each day with a decreased capacity of 40%. For 7‑day and 14‑day projections, the modifed SIR model accurately predicted I total, I and R.

    Kuala Lumpur One of Asia’S Best-Kept Secrets, Kuala Lumpur Is More Than Just a Stopover En Route to Europe

    We all know how easy it is to fill two spare hours with things you don’t really want to do. Rush-hour commuting, cleaning out your wardrobe, preparing your taxes—the world is full of mundane activities waiting to ambush 120 minutes of your precious time. And when you’re far from home, on a business trip packed with long days of meetings and long evenings of reports, the last thing you want to do is squander your only two free hours looking for a decent place to eat or shop. So here’s the answer: VIVE’s two-hour guide to getting the most out of any city you’re in, no matter how briefly. TWO HOURS IN Kuala Lumpur One of Asia’s best-kept secrets, Kuala Lumpur is more than just a stopover en route to Europe. Cleaner than Bangkok, more charismatic than Singapore and less manic than Hong Kong, the city affectionately dubbed ‘KL’ is an exotic mix of east and west. Its religious and business structures will keep your neck craned skyward, the shopping will keep your overdraft high and the warmth of the Malaysian people will have you booking your next visit before you leave. But don’t tell anyone: once the word is out, Kuala Lumpur may just lose its magic. TRAVEL NOTES RACHAEL OAKES-ASH Indulge in spa treatments at the Mandarin Oriental Vitality Club.

Therefore, this study was conducted to study on the various implications of urban tourism activities to the local environmental condition in Bukit Bintang through analyzing the causes and factors contributing to the impacts. The study generally applied the both qualitative and quantitative methods for the analysis in achieving the goal and objectives. The methods applied for the data analysis were the document analysis, observation and questionnaire survey.

It is hoped that the paper presented will raise readers’ concern on the current issues threatening the urban environment. On the other hand, the analysis and recommendation given perhaps could be a beneficial input for the readers, especially environmentalist and planners to refer for their future actions. ii ﻣﻠﺨﺺ ﺍﻟﺒﺤﺚ ﺃﺻﺒﺤﺖ ﺍﻟﺴﻴﺎﺣﺔ ﺍﳊﻀﺮﻳﺔ ﺍﻫﺘﻤﺎﻣﺎﹰ ﺑﲔ ﺍﳌﺨﻄﹼﻄﲔ ﻭﺍﻟﺒﺎﺣﺜﲔ ﻟﺪﺭﺍﺳﺘﻬﺎ ﰲ ﻫﺬﻩ ﺍﻟﺴﻨﻮﺍﺕ ﺍﻷﺧﲑﺓ ﺣﻴﺚ ﺇﻥﹼ ﻫﺬﻩ ﺍﻟﺼﻨﺎﻋﺔ ﻗﺪ ﺗﺴﺒﺐ ﺍﻵﺛﺎﺭﺍﻟﻌﺪﻳﺪﺓ، ﻭﺟﺰﺋﻴﺔﻋﻠﻰ ﺍﳊﺎﻟﺔ ﺍﻟﺒﻴﺌﺔ ﺍﶈﻠﻴﺔ ﰲ ﻣﺪﻳﻨﺔ.
