Thank you for your guidance, Ajarn Pan.

The following targeted interventions are planned to integrate into the modelling of HIV transmission among key populations in Myanmar.
1. ART (Antiretroviral Therapy)
Taking ART treatment reduces the viral load, which makes the infected person less likely to transmit the virus. It will be the percentage of HIV-infected person on ART among the…[Read more]

Key Characteristics of HIV
Transmission
The transmission of HIV is mainly through unprotected sexual contact, sharing of the contaminated needles, from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. Regarding the key populations, it is mostly through sexual contact among MSM or SW with clients.
Pathogenicity
Getting infected with HIV targets…[Read more]

In Myanmar, I am interested in researching HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) transmission among key populations. MSM, SW, and OVP significantly drive the HIV epidemic in Myanmar, with high prevalence rates making it challenging to control the disease. These individuals are at a higher risk of infection primarily due to behaviors, social, and…[Read more]

Oh, you’re right, Toby. I missed checking the output file and the saved JPG file shows the same as you . Currently, I am traveling and cannot run the code. Please do let us know when you have solved it. Thanks 👍

Hello friends,
I also faced the same error by running the original code and it took me a long time to search for different options online.
Here comes the solution for me and you can try it too.

## showing error after running the code
> cat.exc1<- cut(unlist(exc1),breaks=exc1.cutoff,include.lowest=TRUE)
Error in cut.default(unlist(exc1), breaks =…[Read more]

During the last decade in Thailand, there has been an increasing trend in suicide cases which has a remarkable range between 3600 and 4000. It has been continuously rising since 2011 and this was around 6 suicides per 100,000 people. This drives the author to understand the factors contributing to the rising suicide rates. The lack of…[Read more]

The insights from the research article on electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) among German rheumatologists can be applied in different healthcare settings for chronically ill patients to be beneficial. In mental health, the implementation of ePROs can provide insights into patient experiences and symptoms. This can lead to a more…[Read more]

1. If we can integrate the epidemiological data with environmental data, the accuracy and timeliness of predicting the malaria outbreak can be significantly improved. By integrating this, it allows us to identify the environmental precursors that can serve as early indicators of an emerging malaria epidemic. Thus, it can provide the opportunity…[Read more]

Hi colleagues, thank you all for your valuable inputs and discussions on the topic. 😊

Thank you, Ko Soe Htike
I also got stuck at that error and it took me some time to solve the issue.
The following are the versions for which I was okay with the code you provided.
install.packages(“INLA”,repos=c(getOption(“repos”),INLA=”https://inla.r-inla-download.org/R/stable”), dep=TRUE)
R : 4.4.1
R Studio : 2024.04.02
R INLA : 24.06.27

1. What are possible reasons locations in epidemiological research have not been incorporated as much as other components in epidemiological research? How can spatial epidemiology be considered as an interdisciplinary science?

In epidemiological research, there is limited incorporation of location data which may be due to several factors. The use…[Read more]

The significant challenge to sustaining the health information system is the lack of financial resources. The system needs to invest huge amounts of funding in the startup, updating the software and maintaining the hardware require certain financial investments. Training for the staff who will take care of the system is also one of the financial…[Read more]

Dear Ko Soe,
I’m not sure whether the image works properly for others, but nothing appears in my browser.
It’s just to let you know so that you may describe in text the error and get help from Ajarn and colleagues.

I agree with what my colleagues suggest here, it is important to continue and improve the quality data collection process. Accurate and timely collection of syphilis data is crucial, and every healthcare professional should be aware of every step. And every successful implementation of the healthcare system needs the effective coordination and…[Read more]

Since AI comes with an automated process, it can reduce the burden of manually analyzing data. A faster and more efficient detection of disease outbreaks can be achieved by analyzing large datasets. Some of the patterns that human analysts cannot easily notice can be detected by AI algorithms.
Using AI technology will also facilitate the…[Read more]

In identifying the barriers to health information seeking among youth for HIV/STI and RH, we should consider stigma and discrimination which can deter young people from seeking information. Fear of judgement may prevent the young population from accessing the necesary resources. Another thing is the accessibility of the healthcare services…[Read more]

1. The integration of decision tree models into clinical practice can assist surgeons in preoperative planning and decision-making. These models can provide risk assessment by analyzing preoperative patient characteristics and predicting the likelihood of massive bleeding in pancreatic surgery. The operation team can use this kind of prediction…[Read more]

Dear Kansiri, thanks for sharing. I also had to try several times in exporting the layer as I chose “Save Feature As”. That would not work for our intended purpose and we should chose “Save Selected Feature As” 😊
