A Study on Green Supply Chain Management ( A Case Study in Thilawa Special Economic Zone) ( Tun Lin Naing, 2025)
Full text linkThis study emphasizes a study on Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices by doing a case study in Thilawa Special Economic Zone. The study aims to analyze the uptake and execution of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices in the manufacturing industry of Thilawa Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Myanmar. Utilizing a qualitative case study method, the research examines essential GSCM practices such as sustainable procurement, environmentally-conscious production, waste minimization, and reverse logistics by conducting interviews with industry participants, reviewing documents, and collecting observational data. The Thilawa SEZ in Myanmar contains 114 companies, with 100 manufacturing entities implementing green supply chain management. A representative from each of these 100 companies was chosen at random for the collection of primary data. A structured survey employing a 5-point Likert scale is utilized to gather primary data. Results show that most participants are young, single, and female, mainly employed in the steel and aluminum sectors and possessing undergraduate degrees. The results indicate that firms actively implement green manufacturing, green procurement, cooperative customer engagement, eco-design, and internal green orientation practices, backed by robust green information systems. These methods encompass minimizing waste, eco-friendly purchasing, sustainable design of products, and involving employees in environmental programs. Consequently, businesses indicate better sustainability outcomes, an improved corporate reputation, heightened market competitiveness, and elevated productivity fueled by environmentally friendly approache
A Study on the awareness of road safety in Shwe Pyi Thar Township ( Tun Lin Naing, 2024)
Full text linkThis study aims to investigate the road safety awareness of road users in Shwe
Pyi Thar Township, Yangon Region, using a descriptive method that incorporated both
primary and secondary data. Primary data are gathered through a survey of 250 road
users, including drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, using a structured questionnaire,
while secondary data are collected from local authorities. The findings reveal a
generally high level of road safety awareness, with most respondents consistently
wearing seat belts or helmets and displaying a strong understanding of road safety
practices. However, gaps in knowledge regarding legal speed limits, the legal blood
alcohol concentration (BAC) limit, and the use of child car seats are identified.
Additionally, infrastructure issues, such as inadequate street lighting and frequent
traffic rule violations, highlight the need for better enforcement and improvements. To
address these issues, targeted educational initiatives on speed limits, alcohol
consumption, and child safety measures are recommended, alongside infrastructure
enhancements and stricter enforcement of traffic laws
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
