Nwe Nwe Htun,Than Nu,Tun Zaw Oo 순천대학교 교육과학연구소 2023 현장수업연구 Vol.4 No.1

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Reflection-Based Interactive Teaching (RBIT) approach on students’ reading comprehension achievement in Myanmar. RBIT means applying the interactive teaching approach in Oo and Habók's (2020) reflective teaching model for reading comprehension based on planning, acting, reflecting, and evaluating. 458 grade-10 students from Myanmar were selected as participants in this study by applying the randomized cluster trial. The quasi-experimental research design was applied together with some analyses such as structural equation modeling by the AMOS software, item-difficulty index by the Quest program, inferential statistics (t-tests and effect sizes), and some reliability/validity measures. The findings showed a significant difference between the experimental group with the treatment with the RBIT and the control group without the RBIT approach. Furthermore, it was also found that teachers' reflections had no significant effects on students' appreciative reading comprehension. This study is of great importance for teachers and students from the field of English Language Teaching (E.L.T).

Su Yin Htun 이화여자대학교 아시아여성학센터 2017 이화여자대학교 아시아여성학센터 학술대회자료집 Vol.2017 No.1

As Myanmar is a multi-ethnic country, every ethnicity has social custom and traditional culture for women. In tracing the Myanmar tradition, men hold higher status than women as the heads of family and decision-makers for both financial and social affairs. As a custom, married Myanmar women are usually housewives, who do the house work and nurturing of children. They face the intimate partner violence, sexual violence by non-partners, trafficking in women, torture or cruel act, discrimination, socio-cultural attitudes, male authority on day-to-day function, dowry disputes, high risk of reproductive health and sexually transmitted infections such as AIDS. It can be said that eliminating domestic violence against women remains a serious challenge in Myanmar. Even after the accession of CEDAW, Myanmar has no specific law even for violence against women and, so far, for domestic violence. It is consistently sure that Myanmar government needs to take up urgent and concrete measures to eradicate violence against women and to manage for care and rehabilitation among women who suffered domestic violence.

Effect of cytochrome P450 3A5 polymorphism on the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in renal transplant recipients

Yi Yi Htun,Nwe Nwe Than,Htar Kyi Swe 대한이식학회 2020 Korean Journal of Transplantation Vol.34 No.1

Background: Renal transplant is an effective treatment option for end-stage kidney disease and tacrolimus is one of the most commonly used immunosuppressant drugs in renal transplant patients. Tacrolimus is a substrate of cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP3A5), and a narrow therapeutic index and large inter-individual variability. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of CYP3A5*3 polymorphism and its effect on the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in post-renal transplant patients at Mandalay General Hospital. Methods: Three different genotypes of CYP3A5 were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 54 post-renal transplant recipients. Tacrolimus trough concentrations (Ctrough) were measured by enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique following method validation. The apparent clearance (CL/F) was calculated from measured Ctrough. Results: The frequency of CYP3A5*1 allele was 0.24 and that of CYP3A5*3 allele was 0.76 in the study sample. There were a total of 33 CYP3A5 non-expressors (patients with CYP3A5*3/*3 genotype) and 21 CYP3A5 expressors (patients with CYP3A5*1/*1 or CYP3A5*1/*3 genotype), respectively. CL/F was significantly lower in the non-expressor group than in the expressor group (mean±standard deviation, 12.53±5.28 vs. 21.22±5.95 L/hr; P<0.001). The mean Ctrough and concentration dose ratio (C/D) for tacrolimus in CYP3A5 non-expressors were significantly higher than those in CYP3A5 expressors (Ctrough, 7.14±2.56 vs. 5.92±1.76 ng/mL; C/D, 6.92±4.11 vs. 2.89±1.85 ng/mL/mg), respectively (P<0.05). Conclusions: In this study, 76% of the Myanmar renal transplant recipients carried the CYP3A5*3 allele that was associated with lower functional activity of the CYP3A5 enzyme a lower CL/F of tacrolimus in these Thus, CYP3A5 polymorphism influences the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus, which may affect the pharmacological response to tacrolimus.

Multiple Meanings of Silence in Charlotte Bronte`s Villette

( Sook Kyong Htun ) 한국영어영문학회 2010 영어 영문학 Vol.56 No.6

Lucy Snowe, the heroine and narrator of Charlotte Bronte`s Villette, has oftentimes been studied in terms of her silence. However, the critics` approach to Lucy`s silence has been mostly negative as her silence has often been interpreted as an illustration of her sense of absence, powerlessness, unreliability, or mental deprivation. Lucy`s silence, however, is complex in nature as the functions and meanings of her silence vary depending on when, why, and how silence is performed. This article particularly looks into the moments in which Lucy`s silence generates multifarious meanings and resonances depending on the contexts in and the purpose for which it is exercised, such as a sense of wholeness, marginality, power and individuality. First of all, Lucy`s silence about herself during the recount of her childhood days at Bretton implies the feeling of entirety and peacefulness where the identification of the I becomes unnecessary. Second, Lucy`s silence in relation to Paulina at Bretton denotes her social marginality and powerlessness. Third, as an older self/narrator, Lucy chooses to be silent in order to exert power over the readers. And lastly, Lucy`s conscious refusal to tell the readers what she already knows also serves to reveal her sense of individuality. Through the instances of Lucy Snowe`s silence in Bronte`s Villette, I demonstrate the possibility to reveal various aspects of one`s self through silence.

한국어와 미얀마어의 공간형용사 ‘높다’에 대한 의미 대응연구

카잉카잉툰 ( Khaing Khaing Htun ) 한국외국어대학교 외국어교육연구소 2022 외국어교육연구 Vol.36 No.4

This paper examines the original and extended meanings of spatial adjectives ‘to be high’ in Korean and Myanmar Languages correspondingly. It presents the connection between these two adjectives including their characteristics (typical features), distinctness and usage. This corresponding study highlights the similarities and differences between the uses of spatial adjectives in these languages. As a result of comparing the basic meanings of Korean ‘높다’(to be high) and Myanmar ‘□’[mjiṉ](high) are almost the same, but there is a difference in expression of human height. In Myanmar, it is used as ‘□’[mjiṉ](high) and ‘□’[ja](long) for people's height. But in Korean, it does not match because ‘크다’(big) is used for people's height. According to the results of the corresponding study of the extended meaning of ‘높다’(to be high) in Korean and ‘□’[mjiṉ](high) in Myanmar, 5 correspondences, 6 non-correspondences, and 1 correspondence/ non-correspondence were derived out of 12. For this study, the primary data are collected from Lexicons, Korean Grammar, Myanmar Grammar, dictionaries, novels and articles. The principle of spatial adjectives are described and the similarities and differences of the two languages are also analyzed. ‘to be high’ and ‘□’[mjiṉ](high) are studied intensely in this study. It observes that the Korean ‘높다’(to be high)is not used to express a person’s height, but in Myanmar language ‘□’[mjiṉ](high) indicates a person’s height which convey the same meaning of ‘to be high’. The result shows that there are many similarities even while the different types of change from extension to abstractness. This study will help the students who learn Korean and Myanmar languages to understand the adjectives ‘to be high’ easily. It will also contribute to the study of the Korean spatial adjectives.

[연구방법] 교육개혁의 추진 과정에서 나타나는 변동의 과정을 정책주기이론(Policy Cycle Theory)을 활용하여 분석하였다. 정책을 분석하기 위하여 다양한 정부의 공식 문서, 출판물, 그리고 연구자료를 통해 문헌분석의 방법을 활용하였다. [연구결과] 필리핀과 미얀마에서 이루어진 교육개혁의 과정을 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 내용을 제시하였다. 첫째, 정부가 교육개혁의 과정에서 일어나는 갈등관계를 해결하기 위해서는 이해관계자와의 협의과정이 매우 중요하다는 점을 확인하였다. 둘째, 공립학교와 달리 사립학교에 대해서는 혁신의 과정에서 더 많은 자율성이 부여될 필요가 있다. 셋째, 교육개혁의 과정에서 교사의 전문성을 높이기 위한 노력이 필요하다. [결론] 필리핀과 미얀마의 학제개편 과정을 분석한 결과 교육제도의 혁신을 위해서는 구상에서 실현까지 많은 시간과 비용이 소요된다는 것을 파악하였다. 결론적으로 성공적인 교육개혁을 위해서는 실제 이루어진 사례 분석을 통해 문제를 사전에 해소하려는 정책적 노력이 필요할 것이다. [Purpose]The purpose of this study is to draw policy implications by comparatively analyzing the process of academic reorganization in the Philippines and Myanmar. These two countries recently reformed their elementary and secondary education system to a 12-year system. An in-depth analysis was conducted on the problems and improvement measures during the process of education reform. [Method]The process of change in the education reform was analyzed using Policy Cycle Theory. To analyze the policy, the literature analysis method was used for the government official documents, publications, and research data. [Results]As a result of analyzing the educational reform process in the Philippines and Myanmar, the following information was presented. First, the consultation process with stakeholders is essential for the government to resolve conflicts arising in the process of education reform. Second, unlike public schools, private schools need to be given more autonomy in the process of innovation. Third, in the process of educational reform, efforts are needed to enhance the professionalism of teachers. [Conclusion]As a result of analyzing the school system reform process in the Philippines and Myanmar, it was found that it takes a lot of time and money to innovate the education system from conception to implementation. especially in the case of developing countries. In conclusion, for successful educational reform, policy efforts to solve problems in advance through actual case analysis will be required.
