A Study on the City Bus Lines Transportation in Yangon (Aye Thanda, 2016)
No full textThis research paper studies the City Bus Lines Transportation System in Yangon City. The research paper covers the largest service of public transport in Yangon, Ma Hta Tha during 2001-2011 and other bus companies. The public's increasing awareness of transportation problems reflects common concerns such as actual fuel shortage, air and noise pollution, and inadequate safety precautions and other causes receive frequent attention from the new media. The bus network in Yangon is characterized as a "point-to-point" network, bringing about excessive competition between bus drivers on the same roads. The drivers have inferior skills and are poorly educated about safety. The buses are in poor condition. The bus stops and terminals are not controlled well enough to improve safety. Road signs and markings are not present clearly. The most bus drivers and conductors do not know definitely the meaning of the road signs and markings. A modernized vehicle should have a unique and distinctly aesthetic body, environmentally friendly design with wide space, low floor and large windows. The bus stop locations and facilities should be reevaluated. In the medium to long term, bus priority measures should be taken particularly under the introduction of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system
Corporate Governance in Banking Industry: Comparative Studies in the Cases of Japan and Myanmar (Aye Thanda Soe, 2009)
No full textCorporate governance is a major contributing factor of the financial stability of the . Japan and Myanmar banking industries .This study highlights comparison of corporate governance between Japan and Myanmar banking industries . The corporate governance of Japanese banking industry has been closely scrutinized as one of the most important causes for the currently prolonged stagnation of Japanese economy since the 1990s. With the deep root in the long established financial structure and the traditional components of the Japanese corporate system such as the main bank system, cross shareholding, and lifetime employment, these practices are suspected to become unfashionable in the rapid globalization trend. Therefore, the increased awareness in weakness of corporate governance has led to a number of significant changes in the regulatory environment and business practices in the Japanese corporate sector that was aimed for improving financial sector stability. In Myanmar, banking crisis occurred in 2003 due to liquidity shortage. One of the main reasons behind this failure is the lack of
• effective corporate governance. For the creation of a stable financial system and efficient banking sector, corporate governance adjustments have been set as a high priority for the structural reform in Myanmar. As a result, th e role of bank supervision becomes dominant for improvement of banking sector stability. Therefore, a sound and an efficient corporate governance practice i s also the key to the health of the Japan and Myanmar banking industry

No full textThe Impact of Human Resource Management Practices on Employee Performance of Large Manufacturing Firms in Yangon (Aye Thanda Soe, 2012)
No full textThis study intends to analyze the current HRM practices of large manufacturing firms in Yangon and to explore the impact of HRM practices on employee performance. The descriptive and exploratory research methods were used and 100 owners or managers and 500 employees were randomly selected from the scope of 100 private large manufacturing firms. The results describe that people management in surveyed firms could generally be characterized as still personnel management. Any acceptance and development of the HRM concept has been slow and cautious especially in most locally-owned firms. It is found that due to the insufficient knowledge on HRM, the majority of firms conduct only a few of the HRM practices. The surveyed firms apply both external and internal recruitment sources and use different selection methods for different positions. Concerning the training and development practices, the majority of firms conduct on-the-job training. Regarding performance appraisal practices, the majority of firms utilize the simple way like close observation by supervisors and managers whereas some firms apply systematic employee appraisal system. It is observed that the majority of firms design financial and non financial reward based on the specific conditions of the individual firms.According to the results, HRM practices are positively related to employee commitment, high productivity gain, low labor absenteeism and labor turnover rate. In addition, this study proved that the bundle of HRM practices has a stronger more and positive impact on employee performance
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Implemention Of Sales Forecasting System By Using Linear Regression Method
Get PDFThis paper proposes to support all expertsin sales business and to allocate companyresources in a manner to achieve anticipatedsales. Sales forecasting is a common approachand activity in most companies affectingoperations, marketing and planning. Forecastingactivity should help decision makers to makebetter decisions in the process of planning thebusiness strategy. This system uses historical salesdata to forecast future sales. By using linearcorrelation method, it calculates the value ofcorrelation for each item. In this way, the systemcan produce which items should promoted orwhich items should not promoted in futuredepending on the value of correlation value ofeach item. This system implements saleforecasting system by applying linear regressionmethod. Rely on implementation result, this systemcan analyze the strong positive, negative and weakcorrelation between item codes by categories. Itcan also show how much impact on each itemcodes by categories
