Factors Influencing Purchase Intention Towards Crop Insurance ( Wather Index-Based Crop Insurance) ( Kyaw Myo Swe, 2025)
Get PDFThe objectives of the study are to identify the factors influencing purchase
intention towards crop insurance and to analyze factors influencing purchase intention
towards crop insurance. The study uses quantitative research methods. Systematic
simple random sampling method is used in this study. The findings highlight that
attitude, social norms and perceived behavioral control have positive effect on
purchase intention towards crop insurance. Conversely, insurance literacy did not
show a significant effect on purchase intention towards crop insurance. Among the
factors, perceived behavioral control has the highest positive effect on purchase
intention whereas social norms has the lowest effect on purchase intention. According
to the regression results, targeted educational campaigns can strengthen positive
attitudes, while collaborative community programs can reinforce social norms. By
enhancing perceived behavioral control through accessible processes and tools,
Myanma Insurance can further increase farmers' inclination toward crop insurance.
Addressing these factors holistically will enable Myanma Insurance to drive greater
adoption of crop insurance and contribute to the financial stability of the farming
sector

Get PDFThis study focuses to examine the factors the influencing factors on job satisfaction and to analyze the effect of job satisfaction on employee performance in the Grand Andaman Hotel at Kaw Thaung. The primary data are collected from 226 employees with structured questionnaire. The study found that job security and relationship with supervisors and peers have the positive effect on job satisfaction of employees. Moreover, job satisfaction significantly influence the performance of the employees. According to the findings, the study recommend that the hotel should provide employee benefit by adjusting payroll of both international and local employee.

A Study on The Excise Administration of General Administration Department in Myanmar (Case Study : Hmawbi Township) (Myo Swe Oo, 2025)
Get PDFThis study, entitled “A Study on the Excise Administration of the General
Administration Department in Myanmar,” examines the excise administration system
in Myanmar, focusing on its regulatory framework, implementation practices, and the
perceptions of excise licensees in Hmawbi Township. The study aims to explore the
understanding and perception of excise licensees on the Excise Administration in
Myanmar, handled by the General Administration Department. The study utilizes a
descriptive approach, combining primary data from a simple random sample of excise
licensees with secondary data from official sources. Key findings indicate that
licensees are aware of core licensing conditions but exhibit knowledge gaps regarding
regulations on storage, trademarks, and specific operating procedures. Perceptions of
the excise administration, primarily managed by the General Administration
Department (GAD), are generally positive; licensees recognize the importance of
controlling alcohol distribution to mitigate social harm and express support for
regulatory measures such as limiting license issuance. However, concerns persist
about the complexity of licensing procedures, illicit competition, and enforcement
challenge
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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 textWe 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
