Thanks, I’m reading the paper now and it is very interesting.

I also agrees, QGIS is very powerful and it have a lot of functionality but thinking from my country context, in Myanmar, we don’t have good data, QGIS is a mapping application and it have some data functionality but I think it’s still garbage in and garbage out. If we can’t provide good and representative data, plotting everything on a map would…[Read more]

This is also a very interesting paper and I made a quick summary of it.

Methods

The risk stratification and assessment framework for international travel considers four key factors, which are categorized into four pillars:

(i) incidence of cases,
(ii) reliability of case data,
(iii) vaccination, and
(iv) variant surveillance.

These…[Read more]

This is a very interesting paper and I made a quick summary,

Risk associations of submicroscopic malaria infection in lakeshore, plateau and highland areas of Kisumu County in western Kenya

The main findings of the study on submicroscopic malaria infection in western Kenya are as follows:

1. The study found that blood smear microscopy, which is…[Read more]

I mean explanation are necessary and very helpful to understand the application but for me mixing step-by-step guide with all the explanation is very difficult to understand. I would prefer the explanation to be in a separate text box and maybe higher resolution screenshot, because now when I zoom into each screenshot it became blurry.

Dear Arjan,

I found the files from the Week 1 zip files so, I’m using them now.

I hope it is the same files and we can use it for Week 2 practice.

Thanks,

Please kindly see my dashboard.

Zarni’s Dashboard

Sure, here is a detailed description of a Looker Studio dashboard for malaria cases in Thailand:

– Dropdown control to select year: This control allows users to select the year of data they want to view.
– Scorecard for total cases: This scorecard shows the total number of malaria cases in…[Read more]

I also have to spend long hours to go through the PDF, I think I’m like you, I prefer flowchart and diagrams better as well.
I think the reason Arjan want to submit in one Zip file is that it will be easier for them to grade. On my laptop, I just select all the files I want to submit and click compress to make it into ZIP file, so I can submit…[Read more]

When I try to submit the ZIP file it went well. Just a friendly reminder, the site only accept a certain kind of file format for submission.

Yes, PDF is very detailed and helpful but personally I’m more of a visual learner and I like diagrams and flowchart so that’s why I was exploring. But you are completely right a detail PDF could be useful for a program like QGIS.

Thanks Arjan for your kind reply.

Can the PDF instruction be something similar to this

E.g. to save a file
Project –> Save –> Week1_QGIS

instead of long worded written instruction. I’m use to that kind of direction when I’m learning other application.

This is just a suggestion, if it is too much trouble, I’m also fine with current version…[Read more]

Since the data structure is different from the dataset in the video, in order to show

1) Running sum and comparison, I calculate monthly daily column and running cumulative column beside them. For the sake of clarity I filtered only with Thailand as a country.

For comparison, I used cumulative of each country and percentage of each…[Read more]

I blended the data from COVID Surveillance sheet’s country field to Population by Country’s sheet country field using many to one relationship.

Using that blended data, I was able to display and sort highest death total per country with it’s population size.

And I was able to display the total death using a Map.

The WHO COVID-19 Dashboard is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to stay up-to-date on the global spread of the pandemic. It provides a wealth of information, including data on cases, deaths, testing, and vaccination.

Pros:
The dashboard is updated regularly, so we can be sure that the information we’re seeing is…[Read more]
