Job Mobility of Managers from Private Banks in Myanmar (Nan Thida Win, 2019)
Get PDFThis thesis aims to explore the types of job mobility, the dominating factors on
job mobility and its effects on social and working life of managers in private banks in
Myanmar. For this purpose, the study was conducted, based on 321 managers from
selected private banks in Myanmar. The results indicated that three in every four
managers moved from one organization to another in their working life. Their job
mobility was investigated in term of job-to-job mobility and occupational mobility.
Job-to-job mobility is measured by job tenure and average job duration whereas
occupational mobility is measured by job level change and organization change.
Concerning job-to-job mobility, the study found that age, working experience at the
banking sector and working hours per week are main determinants of job tenure of
bank managers. The factors affecting average job duration are found as total working
experience, experience in the banking sector and salary. Regarding occupational
mobility, the determinants of job level change are age, education, total working
experience, working experience at banking sector, and salary. For organization
change, the factors affecting organization change are gender, age, total working
experience, working experience at banking sector, and working hour at work. The
study showed that entrepreneurial orientation is a dominating motive of job tenure
while positive commitment orientation has a negative effect on average job duration.
For occupational mobility, the dominating motive on job level change is
entrepreneurial orientation. For organization change, the bank managers who perceive
work as instrumental orientation (to get more income) tend to change organization
frequently. On the other hand, entrepreneurial work orientation and refugee
orientation have negative effects on organization change. This study found that long
job tenure at current work tends to improve their social life, working environment and
capability of managers. In addition, frequent job level change also leads to higher
social life and improve working environment while frequent organization changes
have lessened the status of social life, working conditions and capability. Based on the
findings of the analysis, the study recommends to the banks that the provision of
attractive pay and benefits, opportunity for career advancement to the existing bank
managers can be the ways to retain their competent managers and to reduce job
mobility of managers in the banking industry of Myanmar
Zero Waste City Implementation using Waste To Energy Technology in Myanmar
No full textWaste management is a complex topic that is handled in different ways around the world based on available local resources, technologies, and intensity of community initiatives. So, Waste to Energy WTE is a renewable energy technology that has seen a major rise in the last decade as Myanmar has been looking for methods for handling its population boom and related rapid increase in waste generation rates. The conventional fuels required for production of electricity is decreasing day by day and it is very important to find out alternative sources which can be used as the fuel for the production of electricity especially for developing countries like Myanmar. In this paper, feasibility study of waste to energy WTE power conversion plant is presented to fulfil the main aim of zero waste city implementation, Mandalay, Myanmar. With the application of WTE plants, the electricity requirement can be fulfilled and also helpful for environmental condition. For case study, Mandalay Industrial Zone is selected since it has low reliability of power supply form national grid and is suitable for construction of a WTE power plant. The simulation for WTE power plant with a peak load of 30 MW is described using HOMER software. Average energy consumption of the industrial zone is estimated approximately 283 MWh day and WTE has consumed almost 118,935 tonne per year of municipal solid waste MSW . The proposed system is designed to provide approximately 100 of energy from the municipal solid waste for the proposed area.

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
analysing the factors that affect effectiveness of foreign aid in Myanmar
Get PDFThesis(Master) --KDI School:Master of Public Policy,2017This study examines the effectiveness of foreign aid in Myanmar especially in health sector. This study also examines the relationship between foreign aid and infant mortality rate of Myanmar, Cambodia and Viet Nam for 2002 -2015. The empirical results show that there is negative relationship between foreign aid and infant mortality rate. The foreign aid can be effective with sound governance and lower rate of corruption. Infant mortality rate can be reduced with good sanitation facilities and decreasing number of HIV/AIDS addicted person. This study uses the SPSS regression method for analyzing the relationship between factors.I. Introduction

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
