Comparison On Knowledge, Attitude And Practice Of Betel Nut Chewing Habit Between Blind And Normal People In Yangon, Myanmar
Get PDFOriginated from the Southeast Asia region, the betel nut chewing habits prevailed through immigration to other regions such as India, Taiwan, southern China, South Pacific Islands, and even to the Europe. The use of smokeless tobacco as betel nut with tobacco is highly prevalent in Myanmar compared with other countries. The misconception of smokeless tobacco use is less dangerous than tobacco smoking is a big challenge to the tobacco control measures. Then, a crosssectional study on comparison of knowledge, attitude and practice of betel chewing habit with structured questionnaire to two groups: normal group and blind group (n = 78) in Yangon, Myanmar is conducted. The selection criteria is having a history of taking betel quid regardless of race, sex, marital status in School for the Blind and normal individuals in Yangon region. 87% of male and 12.8% of female gender ranging from age 18 to 35 years participated in the study. The results show that there is no strong significantly difference in knowledge, attitude and practice on betel chewing habit of two groups even though they are different in learning a behavior according to their different physical abilities. However, the study assures that their knowledge on betel quid has been satisfactory and they are still addicting to this habit due to their favorable surrounding environment like betel quid shops, family member users and socialization by friends. Therefore the supply of betel quid ingredients especially tobacco should be regulated strictly by government procedure and specific health promotion plan for disabled person as well as the social support system like behavioral therapy to already addicted one should be promoted
Application Of Stimulus-organism-response (S-o-r) Theory To Study Consumer Behavior Of Upscale Restaurants In Northern Thailand
Get PDFThis study adapts and tests the theory of stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) in upscale restaurant context, which makes a significant contribution by segregating the stimuli into restaurant inducement and attitudinal level. The attitudinal level adapts the theory of planned behavior with an extended emphasis on social media-induced attitude to reflect the contemporary norm of social lifestyle. The restaurant-induced stimuli consider service and food qualities, and restaurant atmosphere. These stimuli would be studied for their ability to predict the different types of customer values namely economic value, hedonic value and functional value, and brand image, customer satisfaction and brand trust known as organism. The response includes another vastly neglected factor known as experience sharing especially useful for marketers to exploit for brand awareness creation and externality effect. In doing so this study would add significantly to the body of knowledge by exploiting the S-O-R theory in social media environment. The sampling is convenience based, by focusing on customers who have had visited any upscale restaurants in Northern Thailand. Judging from the numerous hypotheses raised, correlations, hierarchical multiple regressions and structural equation modeling (SEM) would be the main statistical analysis methods
The Implementation Of Engineering Learning Concept For Community Service In Plered, Indonesia
Get PDFThe number of learning styles can influence behavior of their objects, which change the way of thinking, acting, and even communication ability. The suitable recognition leads to the improving experience students might have. One of them is Engineering Learning. It is a concept for students to get involved finding problems in society and create the solution with the idea of engineering. This learning will directly examine theoretical understanding of students, for then bringing together the effective way to be applied. Engineering Service Community (ESC) is an activity focused on community service with having Engineering Learning concept. Held by universities globally, ESC consists of students as objects of Engineering Learning notion and lecturers to supervise any decision taken. This year (2018), ESC is being conducted in Plered, West Java, Indonesia, which has been known for ceramic production. Lately, due to conventional way of processing, the industries in Plered are being challenged to overcome the decreasing quality of the commodity. This paper will review the implementation of Engineering Learning method to meet the needs of society in Plered and the application of students’ conceptual framework
Determination Of Economic Production Lot Size For Multi-stage Imperfection Processes Using Material Flow Cost Accounting Framework
Get PDFThis research proposes a new mathematical model to find lot size for multi-stage processes in with imperfection by using Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA) framework. The proposed model takes into account the work in process cost, inventory cost, setup cost, energy cost, material cost, and quality cost. The traditional design costs of manufacturing, processing were integrated with environmental costs and quality costs. The concept of MFCA positive and negative product costs were used to allocate the total cost and divide into positive and negative product costs .The actual process of sewing machine part consisting of 8 steps. The optimization model was formulated with the objective function to maximize total positive cost form PSO based heuristic
University Tourism Management Graduates’ Employment And Employability
Get PDFThis paper delved on the survey of the university BS Tourism Management graduates’ profile, employment and their employability. Descriptive method was used to study their profile and how they fared in employment. Correlation and test of independence were used to determine the factors influencing graduates’ employability. Results revealed high employment rate and had an ease of entry to the workplace. But as observed, there were mismatch in the kind of employment they are in. Data revealed salary is modest as they assumed their first job. Many of them changed jobs and stayed in their jobs due to salaries, benefits, and challenges on the job. Also, while the majority of the graduates are employed locally in the metropolis, the rest have moved to other countries. A clear vertical movement from one job to the next higher level job in a short span of time was observed. The movement between jobs gave them the opportunity to earn better and assume higher positions. Using the Fisher Exact Test, the civil status and employment status cross tabulation revealed that civil status is a good indicator of employability. The correlation between the salary and personal demeanor of the graduates and how they interact with their co-workers showed a fairly high probability that the salary will also increase. Having better personal demeanor is also related with the length of stay on the job
