Analysis on the Implementation of Natural Disaster Management in Myanmar (Case Study: Yagi Typhoon) (Mon Myat, 2025)
Get PDFThe study's goal is determining the state of implementation and natural disaster risk
management in Myanmar. It focused on the performance during Typhoon Yagi and
especially on the households of the flooded villages of Zeya Thi Ri township. The objective
is to examine the effectiveness of Myanmar’s natural disaster management systems during
the typhoon. This research employed both qualitative and quantitative methods, utilizing
primary and secondary data. Seven villages in the Zeyar Thi Ri township have participated
in a sample survey. The research examines the performance of authorities and stakeholders
on preparedness, early warning, evacuation and recovery process during floods. The
findings indicate that the union-level disaster management policy and plan are well
established. Township and village disaster management teams cannot implement their
duties and function well enough before, during, or after floods at the township level. The
early warning, evacuation, and recovery processes are weak due to inadequate
infrastructure for organization, communication, transportation, and electrification at the
township level. The public awareness of flood disasters should be enhanced. The disaster
management committee for the township and its members need to execute detail in their
management plan effectively. The quality of relief supply, rescue equipment and rescues
machineries should be improved

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
