Developing a web application based on ECMWF Data Store to generate forecast maps of Meningitis outbreak risk levels in Africa.

Posted on by

Tutors: Prof. Maria Brovelli and Dr.Daniele Oxoli

Type: Geoinformatics Projects

Keywords: Vigilance Maps, Meningitis outbreaks, web-application

Technologies to be used:
– Development Framework: React Native
– Programming Languages: JavaScript
– Tools/APIs: Google Earth Engine (GEE), CDS API, GEE API

Description:

The goal of the project is to create a web-application for predicting Meningitis outbreaks in Sub-Saharan Africa. The platform will use ECMWF’s mid-range weather forecasts and NASA’s GEOS-CF atmospheric composition forecasts. By analysing variables like temperature, humidity, and dust concentration, the platform should automatically generate risk maps every five days, aiding public health officials in proactive decision-making and resource allocation.

Descrizione (max 500 caratteri)

The input dataset comprises a set of flat files extracted from the ApIDWM, with each folder representing a distinct map and containing two separate text files. The initial text file contains latitude and longitude information for each contour, segmented by an index value. The second text file encompasses the corresponding values linked to each index. The primary aim of this project is to transform the coordinate data within the flat files into polygonal contours. Additionally, the assignment of values to each contour is based on the relevant index number. The execution of these tasks involves the application of the Python programming language, while subsequent processing and visualization steps make use of QGIS. Finally, the completed maps, both vector and raster, will be uploaded to the GeoServer

Descrizione (max 500 caratteri)

This project encompasses the creation of a working script/project that can generate a dataset of a city to be included in the platform “Las Calles de las Mujeres”.
This should be done using OSM, the InstructGPT API (OpenAI), and the Wikipedia API.
As the InstructGPT API has a cost, the core of the project is to use the free credits that OpenAI provides to create a functional script, and then create a calculator that tells the approximate cost of mapping a given city with the script.

In collaborazione con docenti di psicologia dell’Università Cattolica di Milano, si vuole indagare la possibilità di replicare con robot fisici degli esperimenti di teoria della mente di solito fatti utilizzando semplici cartoni animati, come quello che si trova qui https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FIEZXMUM2I. Si tratta quindi di realizzare dei semplici robot con forme analoghe (triangolo, quadrato) che si muovano come quelli mostrati nei filmati. È un tipo di indagine fatto per valutare le capacità di interpretazione dei movimenti di questi oggetti in termini di azioni fatte tra esseri senzienti, capacità che si svilupp anelel persone a sviluppo regolare verso i 4 anni, e in persone con disabilità cognitiva va valutata.
