A Study on Health, Safety and Environmental Management Practices in Myanmmar's Electricity Sector (Case Study : Thaton Combined Cycle Power Plant) (Soe Moe Aung, 2025)
Get PDFThis study aims to evaluate the current Health, Safety, and Environmental
(HSE) management practices at the Thaton Combined Cycle Power Plant and to
analyze employee perceptions, attitudes, and commitment toward these practices. A
total of 120 permanent employees, representing 75% of the targeted 160 workforce
from various technical and managerial departments, participated in the survey.
Descriptive statistics and analytical techniques were employed to interpret the
responses. The findings reveal that employees have an agreement and positive
perception of the HSE management system, particularly in areas such as task risk
assessment, emergency preparedness, standard operating procedures, and training
effectiveness. Employees demonstrated high levels of commitment, particularly in
using personal protective equipment and participating in safety protocols. While
overall attitudes and engagement were positive, areas such as workplace hygiene,
chemical safety documentation, and communication regarding the mandatory nature of
training were identified for further improvement. The study highlights the success of
the current HSE practices in fostering a strong safety culture and provides direction for
ongoing enhancement
The Effect of Visual Merchandising and Store Atmosphere on Customers’ Impulse Buying Behavior towards Index Living Mall in Yangon ( Soe Moe Aung, 2024)
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the effect of visual merchandising and store atmosphere
on customers' impulse buying behavior towards Index Living Mall, a prominent retail chain
in Yangon. It also examines the moderating effect of hedonic motivation on the relationship
between visual merchandising, store atmosphere, and impulse buying behavior. The
research is based on both primary and secondary data. A total of 1,217 customers who
purchased products from Index Living Mall in Yangon during 2023 were considered, and
Raosoft’s formula was used to calculate a sample size of 293 customers. These customers
were surveyed using a structured questionnaire, employing a simple random sampling
method. Utilizing a quantitative research approach, primary data were collected through
online surveys, and descriptive statistics and regression analysis were performed to
determine the effects of various factors. The findings indicated that both visual
merchandising and store atmosphere are positively significant affected on impulse buying
behavior. Furthermore, the study revealed that hedonic motivation significantly moderates
the effects on visual merchandising and store atmosphere element, such as floor
merchandising with negative and completely, store atmosphere elements, such as lighting
and color with positive and partially, and store layout with negative and partially on
customers’ impulse buying behavior. Specifically, customers with higher hedonic
motivation are more responsive to sensory-rich elements like lighting and color but less
influenced by the floor merchandising and store layout. The insights gained from this study
can help Index Living Mall and similar retailers optimize the merchandising and store
design strategies to enhance customer engagement and boost sales. The study also suggests
that retailers should focus on creating a sensory-rich shopping environment that caters to
hedonic motivations, while still maintaining functional aspects of store layout to appeal to
a broader customer bas
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
