No full textThe main purposes of this study are to examine the effect of servicescape factors on customer satisfaction towards The Rock by Color Stones Restaurant and to analyze the effect of customer satisfaction on repatronage intention towards The Rock by Color Stones Restaurant. Both primary and secondary data are used in this study. Systematic random sampling method is used to conduct personal interview with every 5th coming customer into the restaurant. Data Collection period is from 1st November to 30th November (3 days a week: Friday, Saturday and Sunday) in 2022. Structured questionnaire with 5-point Likert scale is applied for primary data collection. All four servicescape factors namely ambient conditions, spatial layout and functionality, signs, symbols and artefacts, and facility cleanliness have a strong positive effect on customer satisfaction. Among them, ambient conditions is the most effective factor on customer satisfaction. Findings indicate that customer satisfaction has a positive effect on repatronage intention of customers. The Rock by Color Stones Restaurant should be applied an effective kitchen exhaust filtration system based upon molecular filtration and the Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) scent diffuser. To improve spatial layout and functionality, the fine dining should accommodate 20 square feet per person by taking into account space needed for traffic aisles, wait stations, cashier, etc. Illuminated signs from the wall or ceiling should also be hanged for directing customers to the bar, exit, rest rooms or the checkout counter. The Rock by Color Stones Restaurant should always ensure to clean and sanitize a work area before closing the restaurant and before starting to prepare food to preventing foodborne illness. Finally, the restaurant management of The Rock by Color Stones Restaurant should focus the servicescape of other restaurants in order to attract more customers and retain loyal customers
A STUDY ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH IRRIGATION IMPROVEMENT (A CASE STUDY OF POST-CYCLONE NARGIS AYEYARWADY DELTA) (Win Htut, 2019)
No full textThe aim of this study is to analyze the potential effects of irrigation facilities namely polder embankment, sluice gates and drainage systems on the agricultural productivities in Ayeyarwady Delta region, post-Cyclone Nargis, 2008. The qualitative key informant interviews and quantitative descriptive method are used in this study, implying basically on primary data and secondary data. A sample household survey is conducted on 34 villages covered by polders in six townships namely Ngaputaw, Labutta, Bogalay, Pyapon, Daydaye and Kyaiklatt from Delta region. The questionnaire is applied in the survey to attain the potential effects of construction and rehabilitation of polder system on the agricultural productivity. The Delta is fertile and beneficial for above 30 percent of country’s rice and fish production. But it is low lying virtually without protecting polders. This produce very vulnerable to rising high sea level by storm surges and may coincide with salinity intrusion and river flood, resulting in crop losses and decreased yields. The study found that polder embankment supply expansion of cultivable land with the major reclamation for rain fed paddy and tidal irrigation for summer paddy cultivation. The potential effects of irrigation facilities can also be perceived in sluices and drainages affect to decrease soil salinity and to better yield per unit area as well as to retain fresh water for cropping intensity by prolonging the growing season. The study areas have potential for further development of agriculture sector and its endeavour to food security, employment and national economy through irrigation improvement

analyze the effect of client satisfaction on behavioral intention of client in BIG T Event
Management Company. The scope of the study covers the clients whose took corporate
events form BIG T Event Management Company. Descriptive and analytical research
methods are used to achieve the above objectives. Both primary data and secondary data
are used in this study. Sample population is 60 out of 71 clients according to Yamane
sampling formula. Respondents are selected by using simple random sampling method.
Primary data are collected by using structured questionnaires with 5-point Likert scale.
Linear regression method is applied to analyse the data. The result reveals that delivery
and flexibility have significant effects on customer satisfaction among four competitive
priorities. Regression result reveals that flexibility is the main determinant factor on
customer satisfaction. It is also found that customer satisfaction has a direct positive
effect on behavioural intention of the customers. The study recommends that BIG T
Company should focus a sense of flexibility in order to adapt to rapidly changing
circumstances by monitoring the latest trends and technology at the foreign countries and
creating innovative event plans. In addition, it should find the reliable third parties and
suppliers of event decorations and equipment in order to deliver the service as expected.
Finally, BIG T Company should conduct a post-event survey to explore whether
customers enjoyed about the event, and where company has room to improve for
customer satisfaction

Stress Responses to Heat Exposure in Three Species of Australian Desert Birds
No full textBirds need to respond to weather changes quickly and appropriately for their own well-being and survival. The inability to respond appropriately to heat waves can be fatal to individual birds and can translate into large-scale mortality events. We investigated corticosterone (CORT) and heterophil∶lymphocyte (H∶L) ratio responses of budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus), zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), and diamond doves (Geopelia cuneata) to heat exposures. The birds were exposed to a temperature similar to what they experience during a typical summer day (35˚ C) and a higher temperature (45˚ C) similar to that experienced during a heat wave. There were no significant increases between the CORT concentrations before and after heat exposure in zebra finches and budgerigars at 35˚ and 45˚ C, but there was a significant increase in CORT concentrations in diamond doves after exposure to 45˚ C. The H∶L ratios increased significantly after heat exposure in budgerigars at 35˚ and 45˚ C and in diamond doves at 35˚ C. No significant correlation was found between the changes in CORT and H∶L ratios. The data suggest that there are species differences in birds’ stress responses to heat exposure that may reflect their ability to detect and adapt to high temperatures. There appear to be differences between the two types of stress measurements, which may reflect differences in the timescales of these responses.Shangzhe Xie, L. Michael Romero, Zaw Win Htut, Todd J.

Elephants born in the high stress season have faster reproductive ageing
No full textSenescent declines in reproduction and survival are found across the tree of life, but little is known of the factors causing individual variation in reproductive ageing rates. One contributor may be variation in early developmental conditions, but only a few studies quantify the effects of early environment on reproductive ageing and none concern comparably long-lived species to humans. We determine the effects of ‘stressful’ birth conditions on lifetime reproduction in a large semi-captive population of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). We categorise birth month into stressful vs. not-stressful periods based on longitudinal measures of glucocorticoid metabolites in reproductive-aged females, which peak during heavy workload and the start of the monsoon in June-August. Females born in these months exhibit faster reproductive senescence in adulthood and have significantly reduced lifetime reproductive success than their counterparts born at other times of year. Improving developmental conditions could therefore delay reproductive ageing in species as long-lived as humans
