Factors Contributing Employee Job Satisfaction at First Private Bank (Thet Mar Win, 2025)
Full text linkThe purpose of this study is to investigate the elements that contribute First
Private Bank (FPB) employees’ job satisfaction and to assess the consequences of these
elements. Based on theoretical frameworks such as Locke’s Value Theory and Job
Demand-Control (JDC) model by Karasek, this study focuses on five independent
variables: nature of work, job security, employee participation, supervision, and
communication. Data are gathered from a sample of 92 employees chosen by simple
random selection as part of a quantitative methodology. Correlation and regression
analyses are two statistical techniques used to examine the strength and direction of the
relationships between the variables. The results indicate that job satisfaction among
employees is significantly and favorably impacted by all five criteria. These findings
emphasize the meaningful job design, effective supervision, and transparent
communication in enhancing employee well-being. This study recommends that FPB
should continue to match job roles with individual skills and aspirations, while also
ensuring clear communication and stable employment policies to strengthen staff
commitment and employee job satisfaction
Ethnobotanical Study of Medicinal Plants among Four Chin Indigenous Groups in Tedim Township, Northern Chin State, Myanmar
Full text linkThe Traditional medicinal plants are used by four Chin indigenous groups in
inhabiting areas at Tedim Township, Northern Chin State, Myanmar. A total of
55 Se Yim, Ma Tu Pi, Tedim, Zombie, informants from 10 villages were
interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires. Plant importance was
determined using quantitative ethnobotanical indices such as Use Value (UV)
and Informant Consensus Factor (ICF). A total of 34 wild medicinal plant taxa in
21 families across 11 disease/use categories; Skin disorders, Respiratory system,
Digestive system, Genitourinary system disorder, Eyes and ear disorders, Cancer
and tumors, Injuries caused by external factors, Skin care, Tonic and health
drinks, Disease of the circulatory system and others were recorded. Species
which were recorded as the highest number of Use-Reports (UR) appeared to
play an important role not only in informants’ primary healthcare and species
conservation, but also in local livelihood. This study presents for the
development of the country’s herbal medicine industry. It can serve to show the
Chin people as owners of their traditional medicinal knowledge, which is equally
valuable to their future generations and for benefits sharing that may arise from
their contribution
Taxonomic Study on Some Species of the Family Malvaceae from Myothit Township, Magway District, Magway Region
Full text linkIn this research, there is an emphasis on some species from the family Malvaceae. Scientific studies are carried out to find information morphologically. The characters of stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds were observed in 5 selected species of Malvaceae. These plants are collected during the period of 2019-2020. A total of 5 species under 5 genera belonging to the family of Malvaceae were recorded from the study area. The detailed morphological characters of habit, inflorescence, flower and T.S of ovary have been identified and documented by photograph. For each species scientific name with author citation, Vernacular name, flowering period of each plant have been classified in this study. Global Positioning Systems are also provided
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
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
