    Style, type and origin of Kyadwinye iron ore deposits in the western margin ofShan Plateau, Central Myanmar

    Full text link
    Kyadwinye iron mine is located at Latitude 21° 53' N and Longitude 96° 32' 20'' E, Mandalay region, Myanmar. It lies in the western margin of the Shan Plateau within Sibumasu Terrane. Rock units exposed in the area are Paleozoic rocks including Nyaungbaw Formation (Silurian age), Zebingyi Formation (early to middle Devonian age) and Maymyo Formation (middle Devonian to Permian age). Iron ores are mainly limonite and hematite with minor amounts of pyrite and magnetite. The deposit mainly forms in Maymyo Formation. Jordan et al., (2017) dated the zircon U-Pb ages of 399 Ma, for a limestone near Pyinoolwin which suggests that the age is consistent with fossil ages of the Middle Devonian Maymyo Formation. The relativity plots of the zircons suggest the provenance has a Gondwana affinity, as the peaks of the zircons confirm the affinity with the Sibumasu Terrane. At mine site, ore deposit entirely overlies on dolomite and sandstone of Maymyo Formation. Large ore boulders may reach about 15 cubic meters in size. Small nodular, concretionary iron ore and float ore also occur. In some places, these iron ores are embedded in reddish brown ferruginous sandy soil and sandy loam layers. Based on the result of borehole data, ore boulders decrease in size from south to north. This is because the fault that separates the two blocks, impounds oxidizing water and enriches iron in the hanging wall block (south), causing more concentration and thickening of the iron deposits. The occurrences of micro fossils (forams?) and ooids which are entirely or partially replaced by interlayered hematite indicate that the iron deposit is primarily of sedimentary origin probably formed at the end of Paleozoic time (Tin Aung Myint, 2002). The porous and soluble nature of Maymyo Formation is the favorable place for the formation of iron deposits on Shan Plateau. Besides, chemical weathering processes leached dolomite and calcite minerals from earlier formed iron deposit, causing the increasing of iron grade in the ore as well as removing of gangue minerals from the ore in order to form the ferric iron oxides as secondary residules. The estimated iron ore reserve is 2 million tons with average iron content of 58.5% (Tin Aung Myint & Mi Mi Ko, 2004).

    The objectives of the study are to analyze the factors influencing trust towards Digital Zay and to examine the effect of trust on purchase decision towards Digital Zay. Both primary and secondary data are collected in this study. The population of this study consists of 77,526 registered users on Digital Zay. The sample size is 383 users of Digital Zay, calculated with the Raosoft sample size calculator. The simple random sampling method is used to select the sample respondents. To collect the primary data an online survey method is used, and structured questionnaires are distributed via online. The secondary data is gathered from various sources, including textbooks, previous research papers, internet sources, and the departments of Digital Zay. For data analysis, both descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis are applied. The multiple regression analysis indicates that perceived usefulness, brand image, security, and perceived risk have significant and positive effect on trust. The simple linear regression analysis reveals that trust has a significant and positive effect on purchase decision. It is suggested that Digital Zay should continue strengthening its security measures and increase transparency about data protection to build even greater trust among users, ultimately leading to higher purchase rates

    In Myanmar, the role of liberal studies has been off-tracked in engineering education for a long time. However, humanity and social science (HSS) courses are added in the engineering curriculum to attain the required credit units of general studies to meet the requirements of Washington Accord in 2017. The aim of this empirical study is to clearly understand the current status of HSS studies in Myanmar engineering education system and to observe the perceptions of engineering students and teachers to HSS courses. Descriptive method with explanatory sequential survey design, using primary data obtained from surveys and focus group studies was used in this study. The study found that the time is right for integration of HSS studies in traditional techno centric education by Myanmar Engineering Council provided an excellent framework to keep on the right track. The suggestion in this study is to enhance student experience, curriculum mapping, and support the outcome-based education system by making alliance between engineering universities and other institutions, upgrading the knowledge and skills of HSS teachers with regular trainings, providing proper and flexible time-management to teach HSS in the classes and supporting the strong outcome-based engineering education from policy makers

    An Analysis on Myanmar's Border Trade Development with Neighbboring Countries (Nilar Myint Htoo and Aung Myint Myat, 2016)

    Trade stands as an essential contributor for economic development of a country. Border Trade activities in Myanmar have been provided to national economic development as a part of national economic strategy. Border trade development will contribute not only towards the economic development of Myanmar but also towards poverty alleviation. The main objectives of this research are to explore the role of border trade in Myanmar's external trade, and to examine the pattern of border trade with neighboring countries between 1997 and 2012. This paper uses secondary data from reliable sources and the Gravity Model method. Results show that Myanmar's Border Trade development has appositive impact on the country's social and economic development. Nevertheless, Myanmar export products are low value added and import products are high value added. Even though these trade activities raise standards of living of the population in the area and encourage the government in developing border trade further, this study suggests that Myanmar needs to be more self-reliable and cooperate more economically. This implies that Myanmar needs to look for trading opportunities and measures for promoting trade and investing in infrastructures. This study encourages governments to reform not only rules and regulations concerned with border trade to promote trade value and volume, but also the infrastructure sector

    This study focuses on customer perception on life insurance services provided by Aung Myint Moh Min Insurance Co.,Ltd. The objectives of the study are to explain the nature and the types of insurance service offered by the company and the customer perception on the life insurance service provided by AMMM Co.,Ltd. Descriptive research method was used to study the customer perception on insurance service provided by AMMM Co.,Ltd. Primary data were collected from the 100 respondents who are randomly selected by using simple random sample method from the customers who came to AMMM Co.,Ltd offices within two months from 1st July to the end of August. The secondary data were collected from the relevant books, on lines, previously prepared research paper and internet website. Most of the customers of AMMM Co.,Ltd are army personnel who tend to follow the rules and regulation obediently laid down by their superiors. According to the survey results, it was found out that despite slow progress of overall insurance services in Myanmar, life insurance service operated by AMMM insurance Co.,Ltd has grown significantly. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the government should remove the restriction on the entry of foreign insurance companies so that local insurance company can merge with foreign insurance companies which are much more experienced in international insurance service and they can share their knowledge with local companies. In addition, dissemination of insurance service knowledge should be made among Myanma people so that insurance services grow in Myanmar
