The Rural Community Developement Strategies of South Korea and Myanmar: Past and Present (Tin Mar Soe, 2011)
No full textThe development of a country will not be feasible unless development in the rural community has been taken place. Consequently a variety of rural development programmes have been launched by the governments. Among these, some have achieved remarkable success. One of such programmes is "Saemaul Undong", which improved the scenes of rural community of South Korea in the 1970s. As the result of the Saemaul Undong, the rural sector of South Korea improved. The rural sense of Myanmar barely changed during the same period. The main rationale of this paper is to compare and contrast the rural community development of South Korea and Myanmar. The research method is mainly descriptive based on historical and current situations of both countries. Primary data are collected in Myanmar to highlight the current level of rural community development through a survey on twenty villages. The findings from the survey reveal that the economic and social wellbeing of rural villages are moderately improving at the expense of environmental sustainability . Although the economic wellbeing of the villages in the sample has been improved, the main reason for the improvement is largely external -i.e.wages of family members working abroad and at the expense of environmental deterioration. The findings from the experiences of South Korea show successful rural development remain on agricultural marketing system, presence of incentive scheme for the development, vision and commitment of national leaders, development of community leaders, cross institutional involvement, spiritual reform and finally stage by stage development with long term orientation . Some of the good practices of the rural community development model of South Korea should be studied and adopted since the two countries experienced similar political structure and socio-economic situations in the past
The Effect of Employee Motivation on Job Performance in Shwe Than Lwin Highway Co., Ltd. (Thet Mar Soe, 2022)
Full text linkThe purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of employee motivation on job performance through employee satisfaction and employee engagement. The sample consists of 179 employees out of 324 employees from Shwe Than Lwin Highway Co., Ltd by using simple random sampling method. Structured questionnaire with five point Likert scale is used to collect primary data. Extrinsic motivation factors such as job security, promotion and growth, wages and salary and recognition are used. On the other hand, intrinsic factors such as interesting work, participation, self-realization and responsibility are used to conduct the study. Descriptive and regression analysis are used to analyze the collected data. The results shows that employees are more motivated with self-realization, wages and salary, participation and interesting work. According to regression analysis, motivation factors as promotion and growth, wages and salary, recognition and self-realization have positive effect on employee satisfaction. Promotion and growth, participation, self-realization and responsibility have positive effect on employee engagement. Moreover, employee satisfaction has also positive effect on employee engagement. It is observed that the more employees get engagement and satisfaction, the better they do the job. Thus, Shwe Than Lwin Highway Co., Ltd should handle employees’ needs and desires by employing motivational factors to achieve employees’ high performance

A Study on Teachers’ Resilience and Job Satisfaction in Suburban ( Case Study : Shwe Pyi Thar Township) ( Thin Hay Mar Soe, 2024)
Full text linkThe study aims to investigate the correlation between teachers’ resilience and
job satisfaction in Basic Education High Schools from Shwe Pyi Thar Township,
Yangon Region. Quantitative research method was employed in this study. 170 teachers
from public and private schools participated and questionnaire was used as an
instrument in this study. The levels of teachers’ resilience and job satisfaction were
moderately high in both types of school. There was significant difference in teachers’
resilience and job satisfaction in terms of school type, gender, age, teaching services
and teaching position. There was a positive correlation between teachers’ resilience and
job satisfaction in both types of schools. The correlation between teachers’ resilience
and job satisfaction is higher than in private schools than in public school
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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 linkWe 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
