A Study on the Performance of Universities’ Central Library in Yangon (Pyae Phyo Maung, 2025)
No full textThis study assesses the performance of the Universities’ Central Library (UCL)
by analyzing user satisfaction with its primary services: physical facilities, library
collection, staff, and technical processing. A quantitative research approach was
employed, using a structured questionnaire completed by 250 registered users, with
64.8% female and 35.2% male respondents. The findings indicate that users generally
have a favorable view of the library’s performance. Satisfaction was reported in areas
such as cleanliness, seating, lighting, and internet access, though neutral responses
emerged regarding the availability of electrical outlets and printing and scanning
services. The library collection was considered diverse and academically valuable.
Users positively rated the staff for their professionalism and support. Additionally,
technical services, including cataloguing and digital access, were found to be effective
and user-friendly. The study found strong positive correlations between satisfaction and
each service, suggesting that further improvements can enhance overall library
performance
A Study on Food Safety Knowledge, Attitudes and Prictices of Food Vendors in Yangon City( Phyo Pyae Maung, 2024)
No full textThis paper aims to study the food safety knowledge, attitudes and practices of
food vendors in Myanmar. The descriptive method is applied by using both primary
data and secondary data. Primary Data are collected through structured
questionnaires, and secondary data are collected from General Administration
Department (GAD), and Yangon City Development Committee (YCDC) and official
websites. The findings of the thesis reveal significant gaps in food safety practices
among street food vendors in Yangon City. Notably, 90% of vendors report never
undergoing medical inspections, highlighting a lack of regulatory oversight. While
86% acknowledge the importance of hand washing after handling money, inconsistent
practices are observed. Access to clean drinking water is reported by 86% of vendors,
yet this does not always translate into safe food handling. The study underscores the
need for targeted training and regulatory frameworks to enhance food safety, protect
public health, and improve the overall quality of street food in the cit

The Importance of Culture in Society
No full textThis paper is to show that cultural values are very importance in every society. The research question in this paper is “why is the role of culture in important society?” Tentative solution to this paper is that in order to peaceful coexistence in a society, a common agreement is needed. Because of that agreement will not cause any unpleasant effects based on this culture, it is essential for every society to have a standard culture that can follow for the members of society. Descriptive and evaluation methods will be
used as research methods to this paper. This paper will contribute to understand cultural values and norms are very effective to guide for a good life and it is needed to follow it to become better communities

Qualitative Study on Domestic Violence Among Married 18-49 Years Men and Women in Hlaingtharyar Township, Yangon Region
No full textViolence against men and women is now widely recognized as a violation of human rights and a major public health concerns. It can cause physical, mental, social and reproductive health problems. Violence against men and women now become a growing public health problem. But, there is no research for violence against men in Myanmar and only limited number of research for domestic violence against women in Myanmar. Aim of this study is to explore the reasons of domestic violence among married 18 to 49 years old men and women in Hlaingtharyar township, Yangon region. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted by using qualitative approach. This resarch was conducted in Hlaingtharyar Township, Yangon
Research of Kinetic Impregnation Process Based on the Structure of Reinforcing Filler
No full textThe present work studies the impregnation process through a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) during the resin injection filling stage of a vacuum infusion process by using simulation software PAM-RTM. Our work aims to study the resin injection time of carbon fabric composite laminate based on the type of weaving fabrics, permeability and porosity of reinforced fabric and to define the optimal structure of reinforced fabric based on simulation and experimental results. The resin infusion method procured from simulation and experimental results can effectively avoid the high cost caused by the trial-and-error method
A systematic review of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in Myanmar
No full textBackground: Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect most impoverished communities in developing countries, like Myanmar in Southeast Asia. NTDs have been understudied and underreported in Myanmar.
Methods: A systematic review of published and grey literature (1900–2023) on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in Myanmar was conducted. The literature search included five international databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid Global Health, and Web of Science Core Collection and one national database: the Myanmar Central Biomedical Library (locally published papers and grey literature). The selection criteria included articles with all types of study designs of current or previous infections conducted in humans, that reported NTDs, recognised by WHO, US CDC, and listed in PLoS NTDs. We included melioidosis and rickettsioses which we consider also meet the definition of an NTD.
Results: A total of 5941 records were retrieved and screened, of which, 672 (11%) met the selection criteria and were included in this review. Of the included articles, 449 (65%) were published after 2000 and 369 (55%) were from two regions (Yangon and Mandalay) of Myanmar. Of the included articles, 238 (35%) reported bacterial NTDs, 212 (32%) viral NTDs, 153 (23%) helminth NTDs, 25 (4%) protozoal NTDs and 39 (6%) reported more than one aetiology. Based on reported frequency in descending order, the bacterial NTDs were leprosy, Escherichia coli enteritis, salmonellosis, cholera, shigellosis, melioidosis, leptospirosis and rickettsioses; the viral NTDs were dengue, chikungunya and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection; the protozoal NTDs were amoebiasis, giardiasis and leishmaniasis, and the helminth NTDs were ascariasis, trichuriasis, hookworm disease, filariasis and strongyloidiasis.
Conclusion: This review summarises NTDs reported in Myanmar over the past 100 years. The findings suggest that most NTDs are likely to be under reported, especially from the majority of the country which is far from academic centres. Research capacity building together with strengthening of laboratory systems would lead to better understanding of the true burden of NTDs in Myanmar.

Weed Infestation in Green Gram-based Cropping Systems in Central Dry Zone of MyanmarWeed Infestation in Green Gram-based Cropping Systems in Central Dry Zone of Myanmar
No full textThe study was carried out with two objectives (1) to find out the dominant weeds and common weeds in green gram growing areas of the central dry zone, and (2) to examine weed intensity in differ-ent green gram-based cropping patterns. Dominant weed species were Echinochloa colona, Paspalum distichum and Cyperus iria in Tatkon lowland, Cynodon dactylon, Cyperus iria and Echinochloa colona in Tatkon upland, Cyperus iria and Cyperus rotundus in Magway upland. Common weed species were Cyperus iria and Echinochloa colona in Tatkon lowland, Cyperus iria and Cynodon dactylon in Tatkon upland and Achyrathes aspera, Cyperus rotundus, Cleome viscose, Commelina benghalensis, Digitaia ciliaris, Dactylonctenium aegyptimum, Leucas lanvandulifolia, Phyllanthus niruri, Richardia brasili-ensis and Scirpus juncoides in Magway upland. A total of ten green gram-based cropping patterns were mainly observed in the study areas. Among these patterns, pattern 4 in Tatkon lowland, pattern 5 in Tat-kon upland and pattern 10 in Magway upland could give benefits of reducing the weed density. Pattern 3 and pattern 1 could limit the chance of dominating weed species. Pattern 6 and pattern 9 could maintain diversity of weed flora without substantial increase of weed density in the dry zone area of Myanmar. Weed infestation in all patterns were varying with crops and associated with management practices and, accordingly, these factors may cause various weed species composition
