1602	Khin Sandar Khaing	ASSESSMENT OF SOLAR ENERGY POTENTIAL FOR TWO SELECTED AREAS IN YANGON REGION	Solar energy is the most abundant energy resource on Earth. It can be captured and used in several ways such as photovoltaic technology. In order to investigate a potential use of concentrating solar power technologies and select an optimum site for these technologies, it is necessary to obtain information on the geographical distribution of monthly average daily solar irradiation over an area of interest. This paper aims to evaluate the potential of renewable energy source of solar in two selected areas of South Aye Village in Khayan Township and Kyutawwa Village in Thongwa Township at Yangon Region. Additionally, solar energy collected data were analyzed for six months starting from January till June, 2020. Feasibility of harnessing for monthly mean solar energy was investigated by using 50 W photovoltaic solar panels. The solar power received on one day for month was checked by solar panel checker. From all the records measured, it was found that the measurements value for the solar energy from South Aye Village was more than that of Kyutawwa Village. In South Aye Village, the highest solar irradiation was estimated as 7.47 kWh/m2 /day in May and the lowest was 4.47 kWh/m2 /day recorded in June. The annual average daily solar radiation for Kyutawwa Village has been between 4.27 kWh/m2 /day and 7.26 kWh/m2 /day. This study indicates that selected areas had great potentials for utilizing solar energy system. It is also wanted to get benefits the development of the society and to have an impact on solar power generation technology and solar power generation.	2021

Moreover, mobile applications have become more and more reliant upon large amount of database and unorganized data such as videos, images, audio, text, files and other arbitrary types. It is difficult for Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) to handle the unstructured data. Firebase is a powerful web and mobile application platform to solve the key challenges of app development. This platform is a Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) solution both for mobile and web-based applications. Moreover, firebase is a relatively new technology for handling large amount of unstructured data. It is very fast when compared to RDBMS. This paper develops a university student attendance system using Firebase and intend its concepts, related terminologies, advantages and limitations. Student attendance systems rely on large amount of database, require prompt system responses and the number of user access to the applications is unpredictable. Therefore, student attendance system was developed to demonstrate the real-time affordances of Firebase and its features.	2021
1604	Kyaw Thiha	EFFECTIVE STUDENT COLLBORATIVE SYSTEM BASED ON CLUSTERINGANALYSIS	In most recent years, many educational research workers pointed out that collaborative learning should be widely used in education systems because collaboration skill has increasingly become an essential skill of modern society. Moreover, collaborative learning can encourage the improvement of students� comprehension about their studying. However, it is vitally important to notice that students have different common interests which mean various habits, likes and dislikes, and different learning styles. From the view of educational informatization, we therefore propose Student Collaborative System (SCS) to help in grouping students in accordance with their common interests in this paper. In our proposed system (SCS), students are grouped based on the analysis of common interests using K-Means clustering method. This system is developed using Python as programming language and Spyder (Python 3.7) as integrated development environment (IDE).	2021
1605	Tin Nilar Win	KNOWLEDGE-BASED RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM FOR TRAVEL DESTINATION	Recommendation systems are software tools and techniques providing suggestions for items to be of interest to a user and can help to overcome the problem of information overload. Tourism is a primary application area for mobile applications to support the travellers before, during and after the travel. A mobile based travel recommendation system can effectively help the customers to find their trip destination according to their interests. Knowledge-based systems generate recommendations using specific domain knowledge about how certain item features meet user preferences, and ultimately, how the item is of interest to the user. A specific type of knowledge-based recommenders are constraint-based recommenders. In this research, the system suggests personalized travel locations to a user by exploiting predefined knowledge bases that contain explicit rules about how to relate customer requirements with item features based on knowledge-based filtering method.	2021
1606	Aung Swe	STUDY ON PROLONGED FLOOD IN THABAUNG TOWNSHIP, AYEYARWADY REGION*	Except the western part of the township, the remaining area is situated on the deltaic region. Therefore, 58.96% of the township is a hilly and 41.04% is flood plain region. The main river is Ngawun. It is the first distributary and divert from the western side of the Ayeyarwady River. The main tributaries of Ngawun River are Tabu Creek, Shwenyaungbin Creek and Daga River from the east and Kyeintali Creek and Kanyin Creek from the west. The critical water level of Ngawun River in Thabaung Township is 5.152 meter (17 feet), and the danger water level is 6.897 meter (22.75 feet) above sea level. According to the highest water level statistics from the year 2004 to 2019, all of the years were above the critical water level. In order to cultivate paddy commercially, the British government had constructed an embankment from Hinthada to Thabaung on the east bank of Ngawun River in (1871-1876). The embankment was 122.109 km (75 miles 7 furlong) long. In the rainy season, when the level of water rises it overflows to the lowlands, and with the fall of the water level, it was mainly drained through Ngawun River, Daga River, Tabu Creek, Htanzinhla Creek, Shwenyaungbin Creek, Udo Creek and Hngetpauk Creek. The overflowed water flowed through Daga River to Kangyidaunt Township, so flooding in Thabaung Township was not very serious. But now embankment have been built along the south of Daga River, which is the main drainage of the region, in order that Kangyidaunt Township can cultivate paddy. As the main drainage has been blocked by the embankments, flooding period within the embankment became longer. Although canalization of the poor drain creeks in the flood plain area leading to the Irrigation and Water Utilization Management Department since 2013-2014, no reduce to the annually prolonged flood.	2021
1607	Ohnmar Myat Htoo	ANTHROPOGENIC PRESSURE ON URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE CHANGE OF KYAUKPHYU TOWN, RAKHINE STATE	This paper presents the geographical analysis on urban development and land use changes of Kyaukphyu caused by human pressure. Kyaukphyu, a medium-size township located on Yambye Island, is less favourable for urban growth. But some rural areas closed to the town are upgraded to town. Therefore, rural population is shifted within kyaukphyu town and rural dweller area is displaced by some economic activity. Although most of the residential land use of the town area changed to commercial land use, some residential areas changed to unused land due to effect of human pressure. The main objectives are to study the land use changes by urban growth and to examine the future economic activities of Kyaukphyu Township. To analyze the urban growth and land use changes in the urban area of Kyaukphyu in 1958, 1996 and 2019, remote sensing technique and ArcMap GIS 10.3.1 software are used.	2021
1608	Khin Kay Khaing	GROUNDWATER AS A MAIN SOURCE OF DOMESTIC USE IN HINTHADA TOWN, AYEYARWADY REGION	Ayeyarwady Region is undoubtedly of great economic importance to the country by agriculture and fish productions. Hinthada Township is one of the 26 townships of Ayeyarwady Region, located on the western part of Ayeyarwady River. The total population of the Town is 80,117 in 2018. Most residents use water from groundwater source. There is no systematic water supply system. According to field survey, most of residents depend on rain water in the rainy season and ponds, opened-surface wells, shallow tube wells (hand pump) and deep tube wells and Ayeyarwady River for domestic use. Many households have their own tube wells and brick-lined wells in their houses but the water from most of them does not have good quality and is not suitable for drinking purposes. This study aims to determine the main water source for domestic and drinking uses of the residents and to make an assessment on peoples� perception on quality of their available water. Although both primary and secondary data are used, the main data from questionaries� survey and interview is used in the study. Systematic random sampling method is used to collect data. According to the result, groundwater is main water source for domestic use of residents of Hinthada Town. 97% of domestic water is from groundwater. Groundwater withdrawal is made by tube wells and hand pump wells. The chemical quality of groundwater is not exactly known well but people usually use traditional methods of at least one night keeping sedimentation with the aid of sedimentation tanks for the purpose of filtering and cleaning.	2021
