Socioeconomic Inequality in Food Purchasing Practices and Expenditure Patterns Among Household From Kyeemyindaing Township (Thida Soe, 2025)
Get PDFSocioeconomic inequalities affect the affordability, availability, and
accessibility of food, shaping purchase and expenditure patterns of households. This
study investigates socioeconomic disparities in food purchasing practices and
expenditure patterns among households. Through a descriptive survey method, data
were collected from 210 households of three wards in Kyeemyindaing Township and
analyzed by categorizing them into five income groups. This survey reveals that poorer
households have limited dietary variety, relying mainly on affordable staples like eggs
and pulses, while wealthier families enjoy more diverse diets with greater access to
meat, processed foods, and vitamin-rich produce. Food expenditure and purchasing
patterns show stark contrasts, with poorer families spending less and primarily buying
from local markets, whereas wealthier groups utilize supermarkets, restaurants, and
online platforms, reflecting economic barriers to food access. Income also shapes food
choice priorities and challenges: poorer households prioritize price and face issues like
high costs and limited availability, while wealthier households focus on nutrition and
convenience, highlighting significant disparities in food security and consumption.
These findings highlight the need for targeted policies to support low-income families
and improve food access and well-being
Analysis of Factors Influencing on Diarrhoea: A Case Study of Resettlement Villages' Household, Kyauk Phyu Township, Rakhine State (Thida Soe, 2022)
No full textThe aim of this study is to explore the most influencing factors on diarrhoea
in resettlement village’s households of Kyauk Phyu Township. Secondary data
collected by OXFAM international organization was employed in this study. The
descriptive analysis, bivariate analysis and logistic regression model were used in this
study. According to the descriptive analysis, 37% of the respondents have occurred
diarrhoea. Regarding bivariate analysis, it is found that source of water, water take
time to collect water, availability of water, practice of safe drinking water, systematic
solid waste dispose system, hand washing practice after defecation and hand washing
practice with soap are related with diarrhea. According to the logistic regression
analysis, it is found that pipe water source users and boiled water practice users plays
significant role in protection diarrhoea and hand washing practice with soap,
systematic solid waste dispose practice ,fly proof latrine defecation are important
factors to prevent occurrence of diarrhea

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
