A STUDY ON YOUTH PARTICIPATION IN MYANMAR’S GENERAL ELECTIONS 2020 (Win Zaw Khin, 2022)
No full textThis study analyzes knowledge and awareness of Youth Participation in the
Myanmar Elections 2020 and youth’s knowledge on Myanmar Youth Policy. In this
study, the descriptive method is used based on the primary data through online google
form survey. The survey data was collected through social media platform (Facebook)
from the network of the author, friends and friends of friends, thus participants were
not selected systematically. It was because the survey data collection time was
coinciding with 2nd wave Covid 19 pandemic therefor face to face data collection was
not possible. A total of 672 respondents of youths (aged 18 to 35) from the 14 Regions
and States as well as from Nay Pyi Taw Council (the Administrative Capital of
Myanmar) participated in this survey. It is noteworthy that most of all youths know
their eligibility to cast vote for 2020 general elections. The majority of youths already
decided to vote in the 2020 general elections. However, youths did not focus much
about selecting youth candidacy or representatives in both Union Level and States &
Regions parliaments. Regarding the awareness about Myanmar Youth Policy, or the
content of policy, it was found that only (9.1 per cent) knew the correct year of the
released date for Myanmar Youth Policy, only (3.7 per cent) realized the “9 Basic
Principles” and (8.0 per cent) had a knowledge about the part of political affairs under
the main sectors of Youth Policy. Nearly half of the respondents (46.3 per cent)
answered the correct answer for youth aged ranged 15- 35 years old. Regarding the
ladder of participation, about (23 per cent) realized “Young people’s initiative,
decisions made in partnership with adults, which is the highest level of the ladder.
Accordingly, it would be better if that kind of idea could be tried to maintain
Analytical Study on the Publications edited and published by the Burma [Myanmar] Research Society
No full textThe Burma Research Society (BRS) was founded on 29th. March 1910 and had a programmee to Publish, in printed book-form, important texts from Myanmar palm-leaf and parabike paper manuscripts. The BRS did most valuable work in carefully editing and publishing many old manuscripts texts. The famous Myanmar scholar Dr. Pe Maung Tin served as the BRS General Editor for its Text Program from the early 1920s to about 1940 when the Society had to cease its activities due to the Second World War. After Second World War U Wun (Min Thu Wun) and U Tin E made energetic efforts for the BRS. U Wun served asa the General Editor for the New Series.
This Paper describes authors, editors, editions, printing presses, publishing dates, cover style, arrangements, physical descriptions, series numbers, appendixes, indexes, footnotes, and subjects of these books.And also it identifies the performance of editors who were prominent Myanmar and Pali scholars like Saya Lin, Saya Pwa, U Po Sein, BaganWundauk U Tin, U Lu Pe Win, U Chan Mya, U Wun, U Thein Han, and others. Moreover,abilities of ancient Myanmar authors and role of old Myanmar literature are investigated and expressed in this paper

No full textThe paper aims to explore the digitization project of the National Archive Department of the
Union of the Republic of Myanmar and its manuscript digitization activities. The data are
collected by interviewing the responsible persons and staff of this department who involve in
digitization tasks. And other facts are collected by literature survey and field study. The
digitization of manuscripts is ongoing activities in the NAD. It can be found that the staff
should be given the training for digitization and information system management
Petrology of metamorphic rocks exposed in Mohauk area, Momeik Township, the boundary of Shan and Mandalay Region
No full textThe research area is situated about 7 miles from Momeik and 8 miles north west of Mogok in
the boundary of Shan and Mandalay Region. Generally, the study area falls within the northern
part of the Mogok Metamorphic Belt (MMB). It is bounded by King chaung in western part
and the well-known left-lateral strike slip fault, Momeik Fault, in northern boundary of the
study area. And thus, the main lithologies exposed are variety of Mogok Series, they are
paragneiss and orthogneiss, many types of marbles and calc-silicates that host gem-quality
rubies, sapphire and some quartzite. These rocks are intruded by peridotite, granites and
various suite of syenites. According to mineralogical and textural evidences study area is
affected regional metamorphism and, locally, contact metamorphism (metasomatism). On the
basis of mineral assemblages, upper amphibolite to granulite facies has been recognized. The
time of metamorphism of the study area can be assigned to Early Cretaceous to Early Eocene
and peak- condition occurred in early Cretaceous to Oligocene and younger event would take
later, probably in Early Miocene
Bago River Sub-basin Management Plan
No full textProject leader: Ingrid NesheimThe report presents the “Bago River Sub-basin Management Plan” a plan which has been prepared by the Bago River Sub-basin Committee, with input from the Bago Non-governmental Stakeholder Group during the period of 2016 - 2018. The process of developing this plan, including also the participatory process for input to the plan is described. Pressures and trends as identified for Bago and the ecological status of water body groups in Bago are described. The report includes an overview of abatement measures with reference to, ongoing measures and planned measures within the next five years.Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation Myanmar The Norwegian embassy in Yangon, MyanmarpublishedVersio
Rural livelihoods in Mon State: Evidence from a representative household survey
No full textThe purpose of this report is to provide information and analysis to government, civil society, and donors interested in improving the well-being of the rural population of Mon State. Specifically, the report analyzes the different sources of income for rural households, as well as their socioeconomic characteristics, with a view to identifying potential pathways to improving incomes, especially for poor households, and stimulating inclusive rural growth. The overall picture that emerges is one of an economy heavily dependent on services for local employment and on international migration for income. Like a two-legged stool, such an economy is potentially unstable in the face of external shocks. Diversification of the Mon State economy, including diversification and increased productivity within the agricultural sector, will lessen the relative dependence on external migration remittances and result in more resilient growth in the futureNon-PRIFPRI2; A Ensuring Sustainable food production; D Transforming Agriculture; DCA; Capacity StrengtheningDSG
Cu- and Pd-catalyzed Ullmann reaction on a hexagonal boron nitride layer
No full textThe Ullmann reaction is being widely adopted as a strategy for on-surface organic synthesis. Herein, we investigated the Ullmann reaction on a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) layer grown on an Ni(111) substrate using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We explored the catalytic activity of Cu and Pd atoms dosed with the molecular precursors. We found that the dispersed atoms of both metals efficiently catalyze the reaction, but lead to different reaction paths.</p
Active deformation of the Central Myanmar Forearc Basin : insight from post-Pleistocene inversion of the Pyay Fault
No full textPyay sub-basin is located in the southern part of the Central Myanmar Forearc Basin, an elongate belt of en-echelon folds and thrust faults formed as a result of the hyper-oblique convergence of the India and Asia plates. Limited neotectonic studies suggest that the Pyay Fault is a major Pliocene inverted structure that trapped the hydrocarbons in Pyay sub-basin, where only sparse field-based observations are available to address the nature of very recent neotectonic processes. This study focuses on structural deformation related to active inversion of the Pyay Fault using field-based geological observations and interpretations of industrial seismic data. We map the ∼105 km long Pyay Fault, an east- dipping high-angle reverse fault with a significant dextral strike-slip component. The fault underlies the western limb of the major NNW-SSE- striking anticlinal ridge that forms the western margin of Pyay sub- basin. Growth strata within the Pliocene-Pleistocene Irrawaddy Formation, imaged in the shallow part (<1 km) of 2D seismic profiles, reflects the deposition of Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments synchronously with the inversion of the underlying Pyay Fault. In addition, uplifted fluvial terraces of the Ayeyarwady River on the hanging wall of Pyay Fault reflect the post-Pleistocene inversion of the Pyay sub-basin. This study suggests that the Pyay Fault is a prime example of active deformation of the Central Myanmar Forearc Basin which plays an important role in the basin evolution and an earthquake source potential of the Myanmar territory.Ministry of Education (MOE)National Research Foundation (NRF)Published versionThis work is a part of the first author’s Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Yangon, Myanmar.
