    The role of leadership is extremely crucial in terms of encouraging the members of an organization to increase their level of motivation to act in an effort to achieve the goals of the business. The objectives of the study are to examine the leadermember exchange relationship (LMX) at AYA bank, to investigate the effect of leadermember exchange relationship on employee performance at AYA bank and to analyze the mediation effect of employee engagement on relationship between LMX and employee performance at AYA bank. The primary data was collected from 130 employees out of 175 employees (74% sample size) from the bank with questionnaires survey method. According to the findings, LMX dimensions have positive and significant effect on employee performance. However, the study found that employee engagement does not mediate between LMX and employee performance. Hence, the study recommends that the leaders should give a personal of being able to rely on when they are needed and leaders must create an atmosphere of fun to work with to improve employee performance. Further, leaders should also show mutual affection on friendship with each follower to improve employee performance. Additionally, leaders should build their own image to persuade its followers to gain and should act with their professional skills and treat kindly to its followers to enhance the profession respect on employee performance in AYA bank. To create good organizational conduciveness, LMX or the relationship between leaders and followers in AYA bank must be well established so as to improve employee performance

    A Study on the Effects of Road Improvement on People in Rural Area ( Case Study: Seik Hpu (South) Village-Tract in Taungoo Township) ( Aung Aung Lwin, 2024)

    Full text link
    The study examines the progress of road infrastructure in Myanmar and the impact of road enhancements on the socioeconomic condition of rural families in the specified region. This study employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Data is gathered directly from 300 household leaders residing in 6 communities situated along the Taungoo - Leiktho Road. Research has shown that the enhancement of rural roads has a significant impact on the transformation of revenue sources, social status, and living standards among rural populations. In order to enhance the socio-economic conditions of rural populations, it is imperative for the government to establish and execute priority programs aimed at long-term improvement of rural areas. These programs should focus on enhancing road infrastructure, increasing income levels, improving school attendance rates, facilitating access to healthcare services, and enhancing local transportation options

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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

    Full text link
    We 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
