A Study on Perception of Consumer Protection in Myanmar (Case Study on Five Townships in Naypyitaw) (Win Theingi, 2023)
Full text linkThis paper investigates on perception of consumer protection in Myanmar:
case study on five townships in Nay Pyi Taw. The objectives of the study are to
identify the current situation of consumer protection activities in Myanmar and to
determine the factors influencing to perception on consumer protection. In this study,
200 respondents are asked to collect the data. Their responses are gathered through
face-to-face interviews and questionnaire surveys with a self-administered
questionnaire. It is found that most respondents get the information for consumer
protection from newspapers. It is also found that the overall mean values of consumer
rights, entrepreneur responsibilities and grantee of goods for consumer protection are
at the strongly agree levels of customers and consumer responsibilities is at the agree
levels of customers. Department of Consumer Affair mainly serves for consumer
protection. The results say that there are many problems for foods, other products and
services. Therefore, respective organizations and people should ensure the policy and
plans to protect public from those problems. Knowledge of consumer protection can
change the perception of people in concern with consumer protection
A Study on E-Government Implementation in Punbic Services Delivery at Directorate of Investment and Company Administration ( DICA) (Win Theingi Tin, 2025)
Full text linkThis study explores user satisfaction with the digital services of the
Directorate of Investment and Company Administration (DICA) in Myanmar, based
on 285 responses. Most users are experienced, well-educated male professionals in
managerial roles, which reflects DICA’s primary audience. Findings show that
DICA’s digital infrastructure is largely reliable, with stable internet, up-to-date
equipment, and user-friendly platforms. While some service interruptions and upgrade
needs were reported, the system overall supports efficient service delivery. Staff
competency is a key factor influencing satisfaction, with users recognizing the
employees’ skills, though further training is recommended. Process automation has
improved accuracy and efficiency, yet full digital transformation is still in progress.
Accessibility is strong due to online and mobile availability, supported by
multilingual options, but outreach to rural and less digitally skilled users needs
improvement. Overall satisfaction is high, and the analysis confirms that all key
factors—especially employee competency and ease of use significantly impact user
satisfaction

Win Theingi, first year doctoral student in the department of strategy development in emerging industry, National Chi Nan University, Taiwan.Previous studies primarily focused on the perspective of parents, giving little attention to the viewpoint of children. Exploring children's travel experiences can be challenging both ethically and in terms of data collection. This study overcomes these difficulties by using children's paintings as the method of data collection, which provides objective and measurable data. This study applied means-end chain (MEC) and content analysis to analyze the pictures. A total of 309 pictures were collected, and 13 Attributes(A), 11 Consequences(C), and 7 values(V) of children's travel experience were identified through MEC. Results revealed that children place great value on participating in activities with their families, particularly those that provide joy, happiness, and hedonic value, such as theme parks, natural scenery, and cultural experiences. Therefore, future travel itineraries should include a variety of fun activities for kids to enhance the family travel experience
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
