The Mists of Ramanna : The Legend That Was Lower Burma
No full textOpen access. Free Download of book via OAPEN Library.Scholars have long accepted the belief that a Theravada Buddhist Mon kingdom, Ramannadesa, flourished in coastal Lower Burma until it was conquered in 1057 by King Aniruddha of Pagan—which then became, in essence, the new custodian and repository of Mon culture in the Upper Burmese interior. This scenario, which Aung-Thwin calls the ""Mon Paradigm,"" has circumscribed much of the scholarship on early Burma and significantly shaped the history of Southeast Asia for more than a century. Now, in a masterful reassessment of Burmese history, Michael Aung-Thwin reexamines the original contemporary accounts and sources without finding any evidence of an early Theravada Mon polity or a conquest by Aniruddha. The paradigm, he finds, cannot be sustained. Aung-Thwin meticulously traces the paradigm's creation to the merging of two temporally, causally, and contextually unrelated Mon and Burmese narratives.Knowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2016 Backlist Collection - 10042
FACTORS INFLUENCING CONSUMER TRUST ON MOBILE WALLET IN YANGON (Aung Myoe Hsu Mon, 2019)
No full textThe main objectives of this study are to identify the influencing factors on trust of
mobile wallet users in Yangon and to analyze the relationship between consumer trust and
consumer loyalty of mobile wallet users in Yangon. For primary data, one hundred and
sixty-nine customers of mobile wallets are interviewed with structured questionnaire and
are chosen by using multi-stage sampling method. Secondary data is collected from
journals, articles, text books, and websites. According to the findings, provider
trustworthiness and trust level in products and services have a positive influence on
consumer trust. Consumer trust is affected by consumer awareness about mobile wallet
services. Perceived technical and security risks of consumers also affect consumer trust.
Among four influencing factors, provider characteristics and perceived risks have
significant influence on consumer trust. It is also found out that consumer trust can generate
consumer loyalty. Therefore, mobile wallet providers should focus on their trustworthiness,
awareness of customers and perceived risks of consumer to attract and retain customers and
to accelerate the growth of the mobile wallet industry

Politics as a Vocation: Aung San Suu Kyi, Politician or Activist?
No full textMyanmar’s opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi was seen by the world as a heroic activist and a Nobel Peace Laureate for nonviolent struggle. Since she became a stateswoman, the world’s opinion seemingly changed. In the context of the 2017 Rohingya crisis, she was even labeled an “ignoble laureate” by the New Yorker due to what the West perceived as her silence on the flight of more than 700,000 refugees from Western Myanmar to Bangladesh. This led Western opinion leaders to question her moral conviction and her iconic status as a human rights activist. Through Max Weber’s definion of a politican in his “Politics as a Vocation,” this paper examines whether Aung San Suu Kyi is a politician or an activist

The Mists of Rāmañña: The Legend That Was Lower Burma
No full textScholars have long accepted the belief that a Theravada Buddhist Mon kingdom, Rāmaññadesa, flourished in coastal Lower Burma until it was conquered in 1057 by King Aniruddha of Pagan—which then became, in essence, the new custodian and repository of Mon culture in the Upper Burmese interior. This scenario, which Aung-Thwin calls the "Mon Paradigm," has circumscribed much of the scholarship on early Burma and significantly shaped the history of Southeast Asia for more than a century. Now, in a masterful reassessment of Burmese history, Michael Aung-Thwin reexamines the original contemporary accounts and sources without finding any evidence of an early Theravada Mon polity or a conquest by Aniruddha. The paradigm, he finds, cannot be sustained.
How, when, and why did the Mon Paradigm emerge? Aung-Thwin meticulously traces the paradigm's creation to the merging of two temporally, causally, and contextually unrelated Mon and Burmese narratives, which were later synthesized in English by colonial officials and scholars. Thus there was no single originating source, only a late and mistaken conflation of sources. The conceptual, methodological, and empirical ramifications of these findings are significant. The prevalent view that state-formation began in the maritime regions of Southeast Asia with trade and commerce rather than in the interior with agriculture must now be reassessed. In addition, a more rigorous look at the actual scope and impact of a romanticized Mon culture in the region is required. Other issues important to the field of early Burma and Southeast Asian studies, including the process of "Indianization," the characterization of "classical" states, and the advent and spread of Theravada Buddhism, are also directly affected by Aung-Thwin’s work. Finally, it provides a geo-political, cultural, and economic alternative to what has become an ethnic interpretation of Burma’s history.Knowledge Unlatche
Effect of Post Harvest Handling Practices of Inland Fisheries (Case Study: Ngaputaw Township, Ayeyarwady Region) (Hsu Mon Aung, 2025)
No full textEffective post-harvest handling plays a crucial role in small-scale fisheries by
preserving the freshness of fish, enhancing food safety, and reducing post-harvest
spoilage. These practices directly affect the economic stability of fishing households by
minimizing losses and sustaining income. The main objective of the study is to evaluate
the impact on current post-harvest handling practices on fish loss and the income of
fishers. A mixed-method approach was adopted, by using structured and semi-
structured questionnaires developed in line with the FAO’s Post-Harvest Fish Loss
Assessment framework (QLAM). The results show that frequent losses are caused by
not having enough cold storage, not getting enough ice, not handling things in a clean
way, and not having insulated transport. More than half of the respondents who
answered that they lost 10–30% of their catch because of physical damage and spoilage.
These influences selling prices and household profits go down. The study finding
suggests raising fishers’ awareness of proper handling, investing in better storage, and
ensuring affordable ice access which maintain fish quality, enhancement market value,
and secure livelihoods
THE EFFECT OF INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC FACTORS ON JOB SATISFACTION IN MYANMAR ORIENTAL BANK ( Su Mon Aung, 2019)
No full textThis study attempts to identify the intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors provided by Myanmar Oriental Bank and how it affects employees’ job satisfaction. This research sample size is 100 employees who were taken from the total number of 385 at Head Office of MOB bank. Intrinsic and Extrinsic factors of job satisfaction have been analysed in the study. Intrinsic factors such as achievement, recognition for achievement, work itself, responsibility and personal growth were used, on the other hand, extrinsic factors such as job security, supervision, working condition, compensation and interpersonal relationship were used to conduct the study. Results showed that employees were more satisfied with interpersonal relationship factors, and Intrinsic factors in general have more potential than Extrinsic factors on determining employees’ job satisfaction. Moreover, it was also found that the pay and security factor was the least satisfied factor of the respondents. Therefore, it is recommended that the leaders of MOB bank should consider revising the compensation policy of the organization to have high employee job satisfaction
A Study on Working Womens' Percrption on Work and Life Balance (Case Study: Cantonment Area Development Committees, Yangon Region)(Su Mon Aung, 2024)
No full textThis study analyzes the current working conditions and perceptions on work
and life balance (WLB) among female employees in three specific Cantonment Area
Development Committees: Yangon, Mingalardon, and Hmawbi. This research
employs descriptive methods, utilizing primary as well as secondary data. The
primary data are collected from 146 women employees, including both permanent and
daily wage workers within the three CADCs with a structured questionnaire. The
secondary data are gathered from relevant literature, textbooks, previous research
papers, documents, and websites. The findings reveal that the factors such as
workload, social support, and organizational policies significantly influence on WLB
of these women. Suggestions include career development support, childcare and
working women facilities, review leave policies, promote work-life balance (WLB)
initiatives, address work interference and support personal responsibilities to worklife
balance (WLB) policies. Addressing these challenges is crucial for successful
working conditions for women in the CADCs, supporting their contributions to public
administration, and promoting overall gender equality in the workforce
