Yes. Natural Language Processing.
In my MSc, I applied data mining techniques on Nigerian sentiment. Basically it was on extracting sentiment analysis from Nigerian tweets as regards the administration of Willie Obiano of Anambra State Nigeria.

I propose to do is to develop a speech recognition tool, which transcribes clinicians’ speech into an electronic health record. Preferably local Nigerian language.

What do you think?

Please I want to verify something here.

If you are doing Masters or PhD, it is expected that you publish your work before you progress to the next level.

Maybe you need to publish 1 journal to progress from proposal to first seminar.

So, if you put your supervisor's name first and then your own name second, it means your supervisor is the author of the journal.

Will it still count as journal to progress to the next level?

Please those who are in the system should enlighten me.

I’m not familiar with the system or the levels you described. Publication is optional for a master's program, as far as I know. While in a PhD school where I studied overseas, you must have at least 1 or 2 reputable publications before you may graduate, not by level or seminar.




No. That isn't what it means at all! The authors of the published paper are all listed in the paper. However, the sequence of names is determined by the university and most organizations, with the first author being the primary author, followed by the second, and so on. It also matters who is the corresponding author. In a nutshell, all names in a published paper are the authors.






While studying, any credible publications bearing your name are taken into account, regardless of the number of names in the article or the order in which they are listed. Several universities, on the other hand, prohibit two authors from using the same paper for the same purpose. For example, author A uses the same paper to graduate, and author B uses the same paper to graduate as well.

Best wishes!

Such person can always apply and let the selection team decide based on whatever criteria they have.

There’s no harm in applying!

KelvinCoaster:

It is advisable to visit the Department of Business Education where you intend to apply and make a direct enquiry!

If they have modules on Human Resource Education or Management in their curriculum, authoritatively,you stand a good chance.

Good luck to you!

ChiefBee:
Thank you very much sir. I appreciate. Your reply gave me vim lol. I already applied as a Graduate Assistant without making inquiries. I pray for the best. And yes, I accept the good luck cos I really need it. And good luck to you too in anything you do. Thank you once again for your reply.

KelvinCoaster:

Most Federal Universities in Nigeria,depending on the department would prefer to admit an applicant into Ph.D who has at least 1 publication from an MSc.
However,progressing from proposal to first seminar does not compulsorily demand that you publish an article.Your Supervisor is a major determinant here,his/her views matter!

On the question of order of names on a published work: This greatly depends on the Journal. Read the Author's Guide to understand how each Journal stipulates 'name arrangement'.
In support of Wip7's earlier submission, all the names on a published work are all considered as Authors of such work!


Good luck to you!

Is there anyone here pursuing an MSc or PhD in Digital Marketing or E-Marketing/New Media Marketing?
Anyone writing any papers or looking for collaborations?

UC92:
Happy New year to each and every one of us here.
I have a B.Sc and M.Sc degree in Architecture and I am about to commence a Ph.D in Architecture.

I am yet to see any Ph.D Architecture student here. Please kindly indicate if you are one, I have some pressing questions to ask.

Thanks in anticipation.

KelvinCoaster:

UC92,

Good to see you here bro!

Ask your 'pressing questions', there are capable hands to answer them here!

KelvinCoaster:
UC92,

The objective of any research is to collect,organize,analyze,summarize data and to make inference on the data.

Generally, the approach for conducting a research is first to identify the research problem,review literature on the research topic,identify variables and formulation of objectives.

Second,identification and collection of data and sampling of data,then the use of statistical inferences and descriptive statistics.

Finally,results are interpreted and conclusions are made.
The approach is mostly the same for all research work!

On the question of government funding:
You can enquire from your 'professional body' or even the department.They're in the best position to direct you.

Good luck to you!

UC92:


I really appreciate your response.
Thank you my Oga.

Recent Publication from our lab: on the Application of Machine learning for predicting solar air heater performance

Recently, concerted interests have been directed toward renewable energy conversion systems due to their potential in providing a sustainable future. Solar collectors are widely applied in various thermal equipment for the optimal and efficient utilization of solar energy. In this study, data from uncontrollable input variables were fed into an artificial neural network model to predict the efficiency of the optimized solar air collector, and data were collected over 1 year on the field.


This research illustrates the use of machine learning, artificial neural network to predict performance and to extract valuable information regarding the factors affecting the device.

UC92:


Thank you my Oga.

I actually do not know your discipline and others here but I will like to know if the research approach is the same for every discipline.

M.Sc Architecture here in Nigeria is a design based research, where the candidate identifies a problem and proffers Architectural solution to such problem. Usually the Architectural solution comes in the form of a dissertation like every other research work combined with an Architectural design.
For example I worked on "Special Education Centre; A study of wayfinding and circulation in public buildings", at the end the outcome was an Architectural design of a Special Education Centre with the design being able to solve the issue of circulation and wayfinding for the visually impaired and physically challenged persons.

Now, I intend to work on "Adopting sustainable approach to special needs Architecture" for my Ph.D Architecture program, which will commence this year.

What research approach or methodology should I be expected to adopt, I don't know if you get me. Though I understand I will do some coursework before the research proper, I just want to be ahead.

Another question here, can one get funding from the government for the research work, my school is a state school in South East Nigeria.

I really wish to get info from a PhD Architecture holder or a candidate here.

Thank you sir.

TheLasyBuddha:


Hello,

It's exciting that you hope to pursue a rather progressive topic in your PhD. Not many recent research in the field of architecture is looking towards sustainable development at the core of the work.

In response to your first question, have you thought of your research questions for this topic? I do believe they would guide your methodology or approach. It's one thing to have a tentative topic and another thing to have a drafted proposal, which would guide how you choose to answer your research questions, collect and analyse data and so on.

To your second question, there are very few funding opportunities in Nigeria. Look abroad, my piece of advice. Your topic seem to be interesting and with a good proposal showing your intent, especially solving architectural problems relating to people with special needs, this would receive a lot attention and possibly a funding.


I hope this helps.



Best regards.

UC92:
.

Thank you for this piece of advice sir.
I have done some background work already from my M.Sc, I hope to leverage on that.

Is there a possibility of going into collaborative research with guys abroad?

Meel:


Thanks for this sir.

Diabetes which is a carbohydrate disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due insulin defficiency and resistance leads to many complications. Early diagnosis and proper sequencial therapeutic interventions reduce incidence of complications and increase life expectancy.
I am just seeing this now.
I would have been interested in this project work.
I am also interested in Machine Learning and AI, where can I get a good materials or notes as a beginner?
Thanks for your responses.


Though the treatment plan after diagnosis depends on severity and age, the first line of treatment is change in lifestyle and use of biguanide. After the initial intervention, the response level is checked, if there is a positive response, status quo is maintained but a HBA1c level <7 leads to inclusion of basal insulin, and other hypoglycemic agents to the interventions.



AI now comes in here, it will allow us to know the appropriate therapeutic interventions for each person ( personlised treatment) after diagnosis using a known pattern, instead of more of a trial and error treatment type. We have particular treatment regimen that works for each patient.

The project is a long term cross sectional study. Getting 8000 data set means working with all tertiary healthcare in a geopolitical zone( the average diabetic patient attending endocrinology clinic of a tertiary clinic a years is less than a 1000).
Thanks so much for this sir, i will be involving my colleagues in this, and update you as it progress.
