A Study on the Performance of Universities’ Central Library in Yangon (Pyae Phyo Maung, 2025)
Full text linkThis 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
The Importance of Culture in Society
Full text linkThis 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
Full text linkViolence 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
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
