  • Rundbrief 03/2018
    Rundbrief März 2018 Liebe Projekt-Burma Freunde, Heute wollen wir Sie wieder einmal über unsere Arbeit in Myanmar informieren und Ihnen unser neues Projektgebiet Kayah State vorstellen. Unser neues Mitglied, Herr Dr. Georg Noack vom Linden-Museum Stuttgart, verbrachte dieses Jahr schon einige Wochen in diesem Gebiet und nach seiner Rückkehr erzählte er uns von den Menschen dort. Er erzählte, wie arm sie sind, welche Probleme sie haben und dass sie dringend unsere Hilfe benötigen. Zuerst für 6 Kindergärten in 6 verschiedenen kleinen Bergdörfern, damit die Kleinen dort gut versorgt sind, während ihre Eltern auf den Feldern für ihr täglich Brot arbeiten. Und auf den nächsten Seiten möchte ich Ihnen gerne ein wenig mehr über dieses Gebiet und die Kinder im Kayah State erzählen. – 2 – Myanmar Information Management Unit Die grüne Fläche ist der Kayah StateDi sundtric unseret Map Projekt- Kaya-Gebieteh State befinden sich in Hoya Parish im Westen. 97°0'E 97°30'E N N ' ' 0 0 ° ° 0 0 2 2 INDIA CHINA SHAN STATE Ü Pekon THAILAND Homein !( Loikaw Loikaw .!

Introduction There were ten dynasties in Nyaungyan Period, and the names of kings and their years of reign were indicated. Although King Nyaungyan tried to reform Myanmar, his reign year was only six years long and so it was described that his son, King Anaukphetlun, continued to do so.

  • Bayesian Spatiotemporal Analysis of Malaria Infection Along An
    Thway et al. Malar J (2018) 17:428 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-018-2574-0 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Bayesian spatiotemporal analysis of malaria infection along an international border: Hlaingbwe Township in Myanmar and Tha‑Song‑Yang District in Thailand Aung Minn Thway1, Chawarat Rotejanaprasert1, Jetsumon Sattabongkot2, Siam Lawawirojwong3, Aung Thi4, Tin Maung Hlaing5, Thiha Myint Soe6 and Jaranit Kaewkungwal1* Abstract Background: One challenge in moving towards malaria elimination is cross-border malaria infection. The imple- mented measures to prevent and control malaria re-introduction across the demarcation line between two countries require intensive analyses and interpretation of data from both sides, particularly in border areas, to make correct and timely decisions. Reliable maps of projected malaria distribution can help to direct intervention strategies. In this study, a Bayesian spatiotemporal analytic model was proposed for analysing and generating aggregated malaria risk maps based on the exceedance probability of malaria infection in the township-district adjacent to the border between Myanmar and Thailand. Data of individual malaria cases in Hlaingbwe Township and Tha-Song-Yang District during 2016 were extracted from routine malaria surveillance databases. Bayesian zero-infated Poisson model was developed to identify spatial and temporal distributions and associations between malaria infections and risk factors. Maps of the descriptive statistics and posterior distribution of predicted malaria infections were also developed. Results: A similar seasonal pattern of malaria was observed in both Hlaingbwe Township and Tha-Song-Yang District during the rainy season. The analytic model indicated more cases of malaria among males and individuals aged 15 years.

  • An Outline of the Arakanese Rule in Southeast Bengal During 16Th and 17Th Century AD
    An Outline of the Arakanese Rule in Southeast Bengal During 16th and 17th Century AD * U Bodhinyana Arakan had been an independent kingdom for over four millennium and its relations with Bengal was very intimate, specially Chittagong, the southeastern part of Bangladesh, which derived its name in consequence of the victory over local chieftain by King Chula Taing Chandra of Arakan in 953 AD1. The subordination of Chittagong to Arakan is corresponded to the absence of supremacy of other royal claimants over the region. The statement of the Arakanese chroniclers may, however, be taken as a proof of the Arakanese lordship over southeast Bengal. Arakan, “in fact, a continuation of the Chittagong plain,”2 was neither purely a Burmese (Myanmar) nor an Indian territory till the 18th century AD the land that has been called Arakan by the foreigners is known to its own people Rakhaing-pray and call themselves Rakhaing-tha. The word rakkha means guardian, pray means land and tha meaning son. Hence, Rakhaing-pray and Rakhaing-tha means ‘land of the guardian’ and ‘son of the guardian’. The Bengali on the other hand refer them as Magh, the word adopted in the 17th century, to mean it with degrading appellation. Neither the Arakanese nor any other Mongoloid brethren ever speak or write of themselves as “Magh” as it has been alien to them. The European travelers and chroniclers refer them as ‘Recon, Rakan, Arracan, Aracao, Orrakan, Arrakan, Arakan’. In colloquial Chittagong dialect, the country is called ‘Rohang and Roshang’. All these various forms are closely related to the original one ‘Rakhaing’ (or Rakhine)3.
