For this scenario, TAM suggest that mandatory and compliance-based approaches are not as as applicable as the use of social influence. And it also suggest that practical demonstration of comparing a new technology to an old one showing the effectives and usefulness of the new one are higher than those of the old one would encourage the users to…[Read more]

According to the extension of the TAM, the social influence processes and cognitive instrumental process play vital roles acting as external variables affecting the perceived usefulness. From my experiences, I think the specific external variables would be subjective norm and job relevance. At my organization when we tried to implement an…[Read more]

To answer “WHY” questions of the problem, I would use qualitative research. If I go into some details, I would do literature review of the previous qualitative research articles on that issue, build a theoretical framework, use non-probability purposive sampling strategy, collect the qualitative data through semi-structured interviews with the…[Read more]

“Efficacy is the capacity of a given intervention under ideal or controlled conditions.”
(The outcome brought about by the intervention of an experiment study is efficacy. We don’t know for sure if the outcome would be the same if we implement that same intervention in a real world setting – which is not an ideal nor controlled…[Read more] -

I think young adults have more “free time” than the older ones. Generally speaking the middle-aged ones and the old ones are busy with their works, business and other matters whereas the young adults have relatively less thing to pay attention to. When the middle-aged an old ones’ mind are caught up with the busy matters, they might forget to use…[Read more]

Maternal Mortality Rate and Maternal Mortality Ratio

“Statistical significance indicates a scientifically or substantively important relation has been detected.”
In my words, a p-value of less than 0.05 does not necessarily mean the results of the test are practically significant because p-value tends to depend on the size of the sample. Additionally the statistical…[Read more]

I’m currently working for an INGO HIV project. My work mostly consists of reporting and data analysis. And occasionally I do some data analysis for the research project. But most of the time, I do data cleaning part – not really the statistical part. Anyway, I have some experiences of learning statistics in both SPSS and R softwares. And whenever…[Read more]

Yes. making decisions from past personal experiences is not a wise choice for program planning and implementation. And of course, engaging all the staff from different levels is very critical in building a sense of autonomy which will help nurture the culture of information use.

Thank you for the unique point which is external evaluation. I believe it is also an important factor to take into consideration when making decisions. And yes, we should train staff to be able to gather insights from the data. The data interpretation skill is now becoming a required skill in this era of data, I believe.

Yes, I agree with you. Not all decisions are based on the routine data collection. Sometimes, another both qualitative or quantitative data collection is used to make informed decision on a specific issue. And also budget plays a really important role in data collection part.

Here right now in Myanmar, there are thousands of new covid-19 cases day by day. And the diagnostic tests are not available in most parts of the country. Anyway, in some cities, we use the RDT-antigen test for diagnosis. It costs around about 5 dollars. In places where the RDT test is not available, we just use clinical diagnosis by observing…[Read more]

Sometimes, though you did the right steps, the selected features can’t be seen clearly. If so, check the layer view, the new layer would appear in the layer view. Then you can either check the attribute table of the new layer or you can change the color of the new layer to see your editions.

Kaung Khant Tin replied to the topic Column in "2015.csv" named "Total_malaria" does not appear in practice file. in the forum Week 2 QGIS 3 years, 5 months ago
I found it too. And I think it’s because the csv in the practical2 is not the same as the csv given to us. the latter does not contain the “Total_malaria” column. And as this column does not take part in the calculation, I just neglect it.

For me, I searched the “Ochre/Bone” code (in HTML notation) online. And I put the code in the HTML notation tab (Select Color section”). Anyway, what confused me is what exactly Bone color is. For Ochre, it is #CC7722. So I just chose the Ochre color for the District.

For 2 > If you followed the steps in the Practical handbook, your qgs file(the…[Read more]
