731 Tin Nilar Win PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM IN MOBILE COMMERCE BY USING COLLABORATIVE FILTERING METHOD Mobile commerce (m-commerce) is the delivery of electronic commerce capabilities directly into the consumer’s hand, anywhere and anytime via wireless technology. Mobile phones are becoming a primary platform for accessing information and when coupled with recommendation systems technologies they can become key tools for mobile users both for leisure and business applications. Also, the huge amount of data in mobile business processes and physical limitations have increased the importance of personalization process. The users are flooded with so much of choices that it is hard for them to find appropriate and suitable items in m-commerce. Recommendation system can aid users in discovering information or items in a personalized manner. A mobile-based tourism recommendation system can help customers in travel planning because it may be so complicated and confusing to process a lot of information on the travel sites. Collaborative filtering method compares the user’s past ratings with those of other users (neighbors) to find users with similar preferences. Highly rated items by these neighbors will be recommended. In this research, the system suggests personalized travel locations to users based on their rating profiles and interests by using collaborative filtering method. 2020
732 Kyaw Moe Min AN ANALYSIS OF NETWORK MODELS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT In the analysis of network models, Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and Critical Path Method (CPM) are the methods which have been widely applied to industrial project planning and control in practice. PERT which is a large scale model, analyzes the project using a standard forward-backward analysis method. PERT and CPM are available to assist the project manager in carrying out these responsibilities. These techniques make heavy use of networks to help plan and display the coordination of all the activities. This paper illustrates how the application of network or precedence diagram can be used in project management. In this study, all the project activities will be able to construct Gantt chart using Excel spreadsheet and MS Project. 2020
733 Yi Mon Win DATA ANALYSIS FOR DECISION SUPPORT ON STUDENT INTAKE RESULT MANAGEMENT Data analysis for Decision Support Systems (DSS) technologies fixed to provide decision support in the higher education environments, by producing and showing their information which are helpful in taking the decision regarding admission management in universities. In this paper presented the implementation of a system to provide decisions in the student intake management allowed for real-time management by using the statistical data analysis methods such as hypothesis testing and classification methods. This paper is finding the total data of students who are missing their graduation that passing through start and end of the university year by using the decision support system of student intake management system. Decision makers of University can apply the DSS components for their important decision such as student registration, classroom management, facility management, extra curriculum, teacher, scholarship, hostel facility, transportation. This paper is created in order to query useful information from general data support in student databases to classify decision-making process by the information systems of any university. 2020
734 Win Win Shwe THE USE OF QUICK RESPONSE CODE APPLICATION FOR ACADEMIC RECORD This paper concentrates on developing Quick Response Code application for academic record. Academic record includes student enrollment record, student attendance record and student exam record. Student records are maintained by academic departments throughout the University and are used to provide documentation of an undergraduate or graduate student’s academic progress within a specific department or program. The purpose of this paper is to create an efficient students’ enrollment and their attendance system by using Quick Response code technology. Quick Response code is two dimensional barcodes that are used to encode and decode information. QR code can contain information such as text, URL links, automatic SMS messages, or just about any other information that can be embedded in a two-dimensional barcode. This encoded data can be decoded by scanning the barcode with a mobile device and a web cam attached to a computer that is equipped with a camera and QR reader software. 2020
735 Phyo Nandar Win MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF CELLULOLYTIC BACTERIAL ISOLATES FROM THE GUT OF THE TERMITE MACROTERMES GILVUS* The present work was conducted to investigate the identification and phylogenetics of the cellulolytic bacteria from the gut of termite. The termite specimens were collected from termite mounds in campus of University of Yangon and Hlawga Wildlife Park in Yangon Region. Study period was from June, 2018 to December, 2018. Six gram negative bacterial isolates from the termite gut were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis and BLAST homology and similarity search of GenBank based on mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that all six were Pseudomonas putida (99%-100% homology). 2020
736 Naing Naing Oo POPULATION VARIATION OF PLANT-PARASITIC NEMATODES INFECTED IN RICE FIELD FROM KYAING PHAUNG VILLAGE, KYAING TONG TOWNSHIP In Myanmar, rice is the national food crop. Rice production needed for local consumption as well as for export. Root-rot disease occurred in some rice growing areas of the country; however, information about the disease was very limited. Therefore, the present study was conducted two rice farms (Hmawbe- 3) according to different situation. One was sandy and flooding area (Site- I) and another one was muddy and non-flooding area (Site-2) from the Kyaing Phaung Village during the rainy season of 2018. The soil and roots samples were randomly collected (one center and four corners) from both farms fortnightly. The collected samples were taken to the laboratory of Zoology Department, Kyaing Tong University. The nematodes extraction was done from soil and roots separately by Whitehead Tray method. The extracted nematodes were examined using the stereo and compound microscopes and indentified down to genus level. Total seven genera of plant- parasite nematodes were recorded from both study sites. Among them the number of Hirschmenniella oryzae (root-rot nematode) were highest during July and gradually reduced on September however Meloidogynes spp. (root-knot nematode) were sudden rise until the harvesting time in both study sites. Therefore, it may be assumed that the root damage nematodes were distributed around the rice field of Kyaing Phaung village. The present findings would be helpful towards the management of agriculture including the rice and other crops at the East Shan State. 2020
737 Taat Tun Thu MICROBIAL ANALYSIS AS INDICATORS OF POLLUTION IN WASTEWATER OF HLAINGTHARYA INDUSTRIAL ZONE The present work was conducted to study the status of some indigenous bacterial species in wastewater from factories of noodles, confectioneries and rice vermicelli in Hlaingtharya industrial zone near Yangon city of Myanmar. The study was done from June to August, 2017 for preliminary studied. All samples were showed Escherichia coli positive on 3M petriflim. Among them, four E.coli isolates were tested for their antibiotics susceptibility patterns with Ampicillin and their generation time were studied. All E.coli isolates showed ampicillin resistance and generation time was between 20 to 22 min. Subsequently, genomic DNA and plasmid DNA profiling those antibiotics resistant Escherichia coli strains was done for future reference in further works on pollution estimation in this industrial zone. 2020
738 Win Win Maw ANALYSES OF WATER QUALITY IN WATER SAMPLES FROM NATURAL PONDS IN WARTARYA VILLAGE Bacteriological analysis was done from May, 2013 to September 2015. A total of 21 water samples were collected from natural ponds from different locations in Wartarya Village, Htan-TaPin Township, Yangon Region. There are seven ponds in Wartarya village. All water samples were found to be contaminated with faecal coliforms and the range of faecal coliforms counts were observed between 4 and 1600 MPN/100ml. The minimum amount of faecal coliforns found in the samples was 8 MPN/100ml and the maximum amount was 1600 PMN/100ml in summer. In contrast, the minimum amount of faecal coliforms found in the samples was 4 MPN/100ml and the maximum amount was 50 MPN/100ml in wet season. Some physical parameters of the samples were also recorded. The range of temperature at the sampling sites was from 27?C to 33?C, pH from 7.0 to 9.0 and DO from 4 mg/L to 12mg/L. The range of metallic ions such as Fe in the pond waters during summer (May) ranged from 0.22mg/L to 0.26mg/L whereas in the raining season (July) Fe ions varied from 0.27mg/L -0.72mg/L. By contrast, calcium (Ca) varied from 1.20mg/L - 11.46mg/Lin the summer (May) and 0.5mg/L -8.3mg/L during the raining season (July).Lead (Pb) was absent in all pond waters during rainy and summer seasons. All chemical elements present in the water were within the WHO and ICMR permissible limits and thus safe for human consumption. The findings of the current study indicated the presence of acceptable limits of the chemicals, metallic irons concentrations and safety of the waters for drinking and other purposes. However, the studied areas were polluted by faecal coliforms bacteria posing harzard to the populace especially in summer. Hence, the environmental hygiene needs to be improved in Wartarya village. This research highlights that water need to be boiled before drinking or washing. 2020
739 Thein Hlaing ISOLATION OF RHIZOBIA FROM THE ROOT NODULES OF COW PEA AND BLACK GRAM CULTIVATED IN KYAUNGKONE, MYANMAR Isolation of nitrogen fixing rhizobia was made from the root nodules of Cow Pea and Black Gram during July to November 2018. Root nodules were collected from the cultivated field of Anauksu Village, Kyaungkone Township, Ayeyarwady Region, Myanmar. The aim of this research was to isolate nitrogen fixing Rhizobium as starter culture of biofertilizer for peas. Isolation of Rhizobium was made by using Yeast Extract Mannitol agar with Congo red and Bromothymol blue. Identification was based on colony morphology, cell morphology, basic staining reactions and motility. One strain of Rhizobium from Cow Pea and one strain of Bradyrhizobium from Black Gram were isolated. These bacteria could be used as starter culture for the production of rhizobia biofertilizers. 2020
740 Hpaw Bwe INVESTIGATION ON HUNTING, TRAPPING AND THE IMPACT IMPOSED ON MAMMALIAN WILDLIFE IN THE ENVIRONS OF INHKAI BUM MOUNTAIN RANGE, KACHIN STATE Trading, hunting and trapping status on wild mammals were investigated from Inhkai Bum mountain range, from June 2016 to June 2018. Total of (20) types of traps were utilized by local people, eight types of traps were advanced made with iron and the rest (12) traps were traditional bamboo traps. Cruel iron trap types are locally more applied than bamboo types found in this area. A total of (35) mammal species were recorded, among them ten species were enormously target species by local hunters either for the purpose of meat or medicinal uses. These species included Manis pentadactyla (Pangolin), Ursus thibetanus (Asian black bear), Catopuma temminckii (Asian golden cat), Anyx cinerea (Small claws otter), Sus scrofa (Wild pig), Bos frontalis (Gaur), Rusa unicolor (Sambar), Muntiacus muntjac (Muntjac), Atherurus macrourus (Asiatic brush tail porcupine), and Petaurista petaurista (Red giant flying squirrel). Black bear, Asian golden cat and Otter were trapped by iron traps. Chinese pangolin and brush tail porcupine were trapped by bamboo traps, Wild pig, Gaur, Samber, Muntjac and Red giant flying squirrel were hunted with Tumi- gun by local peoples. Population of Black bear and Gaur species declined during June 2015 to June 2018, but Otter and Chinese pangolin population increased during the study period. The data from two years study indicated that although the demands on the body parts of wild species varied with the time, there is a constant demand of pangolin in the market. In the present study Pangolin species are more hunted and exploited by local people. 2020
