PHD VIVA VOCE – ISA MUHAMMAD ZUMO

PHD VIVA VOCE – ISA MUHAMMAD ZUMO

Congratulations to Isa Muhammad Zumo from Adamawa, Nigeria for having his PhD defense on August 5th, 2021.

Held virtually, student is at his home country while the viva voce session is conducted according to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia local time. The session started at 2am (Nigeria time) and ended after a few hours. I believe it was a very long night for the student.

A bit of interesting info is that, at Adamawa state, it is recorded zero case for COVID-19 and there is no more rules to wear a face mask. Its an info that is quite different from what other countries are going through.

Anyway, congratulations once again to the student for passing his viva voce.

myBantu Word Cloud

MYBANTU WORD CLOUD

Word cloud is a novelty visual representation of text data, typically used to depict tags/keyword metadata. This format is useful for quickly perceiving the most prominent terms to determine its relative prominence. Bigger term means greater weight.

To date, the Word Cloud generated from the myBantu form shows some of the most frequently used words. The frequently used words are:

  1. I (Saya)
  2. Help (Bantuan)
  3. Requires (Memerlukan)
  4. Milk (Susu)
  5. Diapers (Pampers)
  6. Kids (Anak)
  7. Food (Makanan)
  8. Home (Rumah)

I hope this generated Word cloud can be used as a reference for those who want to help. Thank you Malaysians for the kindness.

MYBANTU WEEKLY DATA UPDATE

MYBANTU WEEKLY DATA UPDATE

As usual, in addition to data checking done daily, data cleanup is done periodically. Data cleanup is done to prevent repeated/overlapping assistance from occurring.

Based on this week’s myBantu map, almost half (47%) of the locations that need help managed to receive help. Especially in the northern part of the Peninsula and in Sabah and Sarawak. Thank you Malaysians who care, provide assistance to those in need.

However, this week’s myBantu map also recorded a higher increase in daily reports compared to the previous week. Hopefully this report will decrease and more Malaysians can be helped.

Since this information can be updated by users, hopefully locations that have received help or “suspicious” can be edited or deleted. Only the locals will be able to do the verification.

To Malaysians who need help, you can fill out the form at this link https://arcg.is/1mK5zn0.

ITN MALANG LECTURE SESSION

ITN MALANG LECTURE SESSION

I was so excited with the involvement of students from the Geodesy program at the Malang National Institute of Technology, Indonesia. Everything went smooth with the lecture. 

After the lecture, the questions from the students of the Geodesy program were very astonishing. Among the questions are:

  1. Can GIS be applied in the field of Epidemiology?
  2. What is the accuracy of the data required for a GIS system?
  3. Can GIS help in crime analysis works?
  4. How is geodesy handy in GIS?
  5. Is it possible that GIS can be used at the national level?
  6. Can GIS be used for forestry?
  7. What about GIS with air traffic control management?

The answer is yes. I explain by showing real examples that happens in Malaysia as well as my own experience of involvement in those areas.

Thank you to the excellent students from the institute who asked these questions. The names of the students were Jose, Alexandra, Rashid, Aninda, and Gose (sorry I can’t remember the rest).

Keep on going learning new knowledge. Hopefully we have the opportunity to meet here in UTM.

MALANG NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, INDONESIA – LECTURE SERIES

MALANG NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, INDONESIA – LECTURE SERIES 

Sharing an info. I have been invited to deliver a lecture series on Geographic Information Science (GIS) at Malang National Institute of Technology, Indonesia.

The interesting thing about the pandemic is that we don’t need a passport or air tickets to travel. Everything is virtual.

Thank you to the organizing committee for inviting and giving me the opportunity to share some of the knowledge I have to the geodesy students there.

“Sharing is good, and with digital technology, sharing is easy.” – Richard Stallman
