The Effect of Managerial Competencies and Leadership Competencies on Project Success of Crown Advanced Construction Company in Yangon(Win Win Mar, 2022)
Full text linkThis study aims to examine the effect of personal factors on managerial
competencies and leadership competencies and to analyze the effect of managerial and
leadership competencies on the project success of Crown Advanced Construction Company
in Yangon. Descriptive and analytical research methods are used in this study. Both primary
and secondary data are gathered to achieve the objectives. For primary data, 120 employees
out of 170 employees whose position are managers, engineers and supervisors, are selected
by using simple random sampling method and collected by using structured questionnaires.
The study found that among the personal factors, personality traits, cognitive abilities and
experience are significant effect on managerial competencies and personality traits and
experience and knowledge are significant effect on leadership competencies. Social
intelligence competencies, business acumen and result driven are significant effect on
project success Therefore, the company should emphasize the development of leadership
competencies and managerial competencies for managers, engineers and supervisors by
involving them human resource development program in order to develop their thinking
skills and analytical skills

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
Applications of Eulerian Path and Tour
No full textA path in a graph is an Eulerian path if every edge of the graph appears as an edge in the path exactly once. A closed Eulerian path is an Eulerian tour. A graph is said to be an Eulerian graph if it has an Eulerian tour. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a graph to be Eulerian graph and present some examples for applications of Eulerian path and tour
Karyotype Analysis on Oreochromis spp. from Thatyetkhone Fisheries Station, Mandalay
Full text linkChromosomal characteristics of Oreochromis spp. was investigated using mitotic cell division of liver tissues to designate the genome composition of tilapia species. Karyological data was automated by SmartType 3 indicated the modal diploid number of O. niloticus was 4 m (metacentric), 10 sm (submetacentric), 2 st (subtelocentric) and 6 t (telocentric) with arm number 72; O. mossambicus was 2 m, 8 sm, 4 st and 8 t with arm number 64 and Oreochromis sp. was 2 m, 5 sm, 6 st and 9 t with 58 arm number indicating the significant difference in chromosomal characteristics. This study may provide the strain classification of chromosome analysis on tilapia species
