1. Why was the author interested in investigating the suicide problem in Thailand during the time?
– The number of suicides in Thailand has been increasing with an average of around 6 per 100,000 people during the period under study.
– the researchers wanted to observe factors that may have a relationship with the suicide rates.
– There was a…[Read more]

1. What are the 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?
Mostly, the epidemiology course emphasizes students a statistical concept for instance: incidence, prevalence,…[Read more]

I faced some problems too, but I could fix them when I have read your idea. Thank you very much 🙂

The visualizations cover 4 pages:
1. The overview of Covid-19 situation and case forecast 20 days (Confirmed, Death, Recovered)
2. Total number of…[Read more]

There are 3 pages of the dashboard:
page 1. I show the cumulative number of confirmed, Deaths, and recovered cases. They are summarised in a matrix.

I would like to share a COVID-19 data visualization website named ‘worldometer’ that all of you can go to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/. This website different from the others is that it does not provide only the number of new cases, confirmed cases, or deaths but it shows the number of total tests implementing in each country. There…[Read more]

@Tullaya Fig. 5 in my presentation illustrates the spatial pattern of the drug-resistant pattern of Isoniazid, Streptomycin, Ethambutol, and Fluoroquinolone resistance in DR-TB patients and also shows the XDR-TB patterns. The researchers summarised the drug sensitivity pattern of DR-TB patients in table 2 but I did not show it in the slide, so…[Read more]

TB cases can transmit in a community, How’s about applying contact tracking to monitor & control epidemic?

>>> This could help to see the overview such as which areas have a high incidence rate, and we can also use it to help when we do the contact investigation. I think if we have MTB genotyping data, we can link the patient infected with the s…[Read more]

In my opinion, this can affect some results, for example, the red rectangular grids in Fig. 4 that represents the number of DR-TB patients more than 1. So if the DR-TB patients have been moving a place to go to another city, the sum of the area of aggregation in the square kilometers should be changed (decrease). However, this shouldn’t change…[Read more]

Good morning PyaePhyoAung, so sorry for asking a question really late.
My question is apart from 35 explanatory variations, are there any factors that you think the researchers should consider?

Do you know there is any data-driven decision-making facilitation using in Thailand? If not, which public health issue you will start with?

From Fig.2 I have observed that in some areas, number 43 Wiang Haeng, for example, RR score between males and females is quite different. Can BYM model explain this result? and How?

Both of your selected journals are very interesting, the first one, researchers try to make some visualizations explain a relationship between explanatory variation and Covid-19 incidence rate from global models and local models. Maybe this would be difficult for some people who do not understand the statistics. For the second one, they present…[Read more]

I agree with Thanachol, the main purpose of the first one is to study risk patterns of lung cancer mortality in northern Thailand and researchers present in Polygon pattern. Lung cancer is one of the highest burden in Thailand so I think it would be proper to our background. The second one was published from Cell Reports journal that has a higher…[Read more]

Two of your selected paper have the same concept, that is about to create some methods related to GIS and do user assessment. The first one is good in terms of the audience relevant, but I think the content about GIS is quite a few. The second one, the content is quite difficult for me, however, I go with it since MBJ Global Health has a better IF…[Read more]
