“Factors Influencing on Jewellery Buying Behaviour with Digital Platforms” ( Win Htun Naing,2024)
No full textThe advent of digital platforms has transformed consumer behavior in the
jewelry market, presenting new dynamics and considerations for both consumers and
retailers. This study examines the key factors influencing jewelry buying behavior on
digital platforms. Through a review of existing literature and analysis of
contemporary market trends, we identify crucial variables, including convenience,
accessibility, product information, and trust-building elements such as customer
reviews, product transparency, and secure payment methods. Customization options
and price comparison tools empower consumers to make personalized and informed
choices, while social media exposure and influencer endorsements create additional
avenues for engagement. Furthermore, the growing importance of sustainability and
ethical practices, as well as post-purchase services like resizing and repair, impacts
customer loyalty and trust in the digital space. By exploring these factors, this study
provides insights into how digital platforms shape consumer perceptions, preferences,
and behaviors, offering valuable implications for both jewelry retailers and ecommerce platforms aiming to enhance customer experience and retentio

Calculation of Metal Pollution Index and Enrichment Factor in Sodic Soil from Salt Production Area
No full textIn the present paper, the sodic soil samples were collected from the salt production area of Thakhauttaw, Hanlin, Sataung Gyi and Paline, Shwebo District, Sagaing Region. These samples were studied on the elemental analysis using the energy dispersive x ray fluorescence EDXRF spectroscopy. In order to evaluate the contamination status of metals, assessment indices such as metal pollution index MPI and enrichment factors EFs have been calculated by using the metal concentrations from the EDXRF results. The values of metal pollution index MPI for all samples were less than 1. This indicating the sodic soil was no significant of metal pollution. The results of enrichment factors show that Ca and Mn considerable enriched levels in the soil. According to health physics point of view, the overall study suggests that the sodic soil from salt production area were not metal contaminated and long term consumption cannot be cause potential health risks to consumers.

No full textPetrology of Devonian Strata in Naungcho Area, Naungcho Township
No full textThe present work deals with the systematic classification of the Paleozoic sequence in Naungcho area, situated about 30 miles north-east of Pyinoo- Lwin, in Naungcho Township. The Devonian strata of the study area can be differentiated into two lithostratigraphic units of formation rank, viz., Maymyo Dolomite Formation (Middle-Late Devonian) and Zebingyi Formation (Early Devonian). In the view of petrology, the sedimentary sequences of the present area can be classified into two microfacies; (i) biomicrite/ bioclastic-wackestone and (ii) laminated micrite/ mudstone in the Zebingyi Formation. Furthermore, there can also be classified into two microfacies, such as (i) micritic dolomite/
muddy dolomite and dolomitized sandy pelmicrite/ dolomitized sandy peloidal wackestone-packstone in the Maymyo Dolomite Formation. According to lithology, faunal content, and sedimentary structure, the depositional environments of all these units, can be concluded as follow; the restricted shallow lagoon environment for the Zebingyi Formation, and warm, slightly agitated shallow marine environment for the Maymyo Dolomite Formation
Correlation analysis of elements in tobacco leaf, cigarette and cheroot samples
No full textEnergy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy was used for the multi-elemental analysis of
four tobacco leaves, one brand of cigarette and cheroot. The dried samples of tobacco leaves,
cigarette, cheroot and ashes of the samples have been analyzed for fourteen elements like
potassium (K), calcium (Ca), arsenics (As), bromine (Br), rubidium (Rb), strontium (Sr),
titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se) and
lead (Pb). As, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr, Se and Pb have the averages of 0.7, 1.28, 20.58, 57.38, 203.83,
0.5, and 3.73 ppm and 0.73, 1.75, 71.22, 184.3, 694.02, and 7.87 ppm in samples and ashed
samples respectively. Statistical correlations are found to exist between K and Ca (-0.99), Sr
and K (-0.8), Sr and Ca (+0.8), Sr and Br (+0.6), Pb and Br (-0.6), Zn and Sr (-0.8) and Cu
and Ti (+0.9), Pb and Ti (+0.8) and Pb and Cu (+0.8)
Elemental Concentrations and Risk Assessment of Heavy and Toxic Metals in Some Instant Foods
No full textEnergy Dispersive X-rays Fluorescence (EDXRF) technique was used to analyze
the elemental concentrations of some heavy and toxic metals in some instant food
samples. For all measured samples, the mean concentrations of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu,
Zn, and As are within their respective safe limit except Cd and Hg. It was found that the
mercury concentration in instant noodles samples is significantly the highest among the
instant food samples. No risk was found for the elements of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn,
and As. But, the elements, Cd and Hg, were found to cause the risk to the consumers by
consuming the instant foods

The preliminary detection of phytochemical compounds presents in rhizome extracted was carried out by phytochemical tests. The elemental analysis of rhizome extracted was also investigated by Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) Spectroscopy. An experiment has been synthesized the copper oxide nanoparticles using an aqueous solution extracted from the rhizome of Shwe-pan. The size distribution of nanoparticles surface and morphology of copper oxide nanoparticles were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) method. The characteristic absorption peaks of copper oxide nanoparticles were analysis by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. Antimicrobial activities of synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles were examined by agar well diffusion method on tested microorganisms. The synthesis of nanoparticles using the rhizome extract is an affordable method and it reduces the environmental pollution
Biosynthesis and Characterization of Ipomea Leaf Extract Based Copper Nanoparticles and Its Antimicrobial Activities
No full textNanotechnology broadly refers to a field of applied science and technology with tremendous implications for society, industry and medicine. Biosynthesis is gaining attention due to its cost effective, eco-friendly and large scale production possibilities. Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) with different structural properties and effective biological effects may be fabricated using new green protocols. The importance of copper nanoparticles, compared to other metal nanoparticles, is due to the high conductivity. Biological methods involve the use of plant extracts, bacteria and fungi. In this study, the leaf of Ipomea sp. L. was taken to investigate their potential for synthesizing copper nanoparticles. These synthesized CuNPs were characterized by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The crystalline size of synthesized copper nanoparticles was found in 35.79 nm. CuNPs were investigated antimicrobial activities by Agar-well diffusion method on seven microorganisms. CuNPs showed the medium activity on Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Staphylococcus aureus and high activity on Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans
