  • Burmese Buddhist Imagery of the Early Bagan Period (1044 – 1113) Buddhism Is an Integral Part of Burmese Culture
    Burmese Buddhist Imagery of the Early Bagan Period (1044 – 1113) 2 Volumes By Charlotte Kendrick Galloway A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University November 2006 ii Declaration I declare that to the best of my knowledge, unless where cited, this thesis is my own original work. Signed: Date: Charlotte Kendrick Galloway iii Acknowledgments There are a number of people whose assistance, advice and general support, has enabled me to complete my research: Dr Alexandra Green, Dr Bob Hudson, Dr Pamela Gutman, Dick Richards, Dr Tilman Frasch, Sylvia Fraser- Lu, Dr Royce Wiles, Dr Don Stadtner, Dr Catherine Raymond, Prof Michael Greenhalgh, Ma Khin Mar Mar Kyi, U Aung Kyaing, Dr Than Tun, Sao Htun Hmat Win, U Sai Aung Tun and Dr Thant Thaw Kaung. I thank them all, whether for their direct assistance in matters relating to Burma, for their ability to inspire me, or for simply providing encouragement. I thank my colleagues, past and present, at the National Gallery of Australia and staff at ANU who have also provided support during my thesis candidature, in particular: Ben Divall, Carol Cains, Christine Dixon, Jane Kinsman, Mark Henshaw, Lyn Conybeare, Margaret Brown and Chaitanya Sambrani. I give special mention to U Thaw Kaung, whose personal generosity and encouragement of those of us worldwide who express a keen interest in the study of Burma's rich cultural history, has ensured that I was able to achieve my own personal goals. There is no doubt that without his assistance and interest in my work, my ability to undertake the research required would have been severely compromised – thank you.

  • Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 8, 2006
    Burma Page 1 of 24 2005 Human Rights Report Released | Daily Press Briefing | Other News... Burma Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 8, 2006 Since 1962, Burma, with an estimated population of more than 52 million, has been ruled by a succession of highly authoritarian military regimes dominated by the majority Burman ethnic group. The current controlling military regime, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), led by Senior General Than Shwe, is the country's de facto government, with subordinate Peace and Development Councils ruling by decree at the division, state, city, township, ward, and village levels. In 1990 prodemocracy parties won more than 80 percent of the seats in a generally free and fair parliamentary election, but the junta refused to recognize the results. Twice during the year, the SPDC convened the National Convention (NC) as part of its purported "Seven-Step Road Map to Democracy." The NC, designed to produce a new constitution, excluded the largest opposition parties and did not allow free debate. The military government totally controlled the country's armed forces, excluding a few active insurgent groups. The government's human rights record worsened during the year, and the government continued to commit numerous serious abuses. The following human rights abuses were reported: abridgement of the right to change the government extrajudicial killings, including custodial deaths disappearances rape, torture, and beatings of

    Prevalence and Diversity of Avian Haemosporidians May Vary with Anthropogenic Disturbance in Tropical Habitats in Myanmar Jaime Muriel 1,#,*, Alfonso Marzal 2,#, Sergio Magallanes 2, Luz García-Longoria 2,3, Marcela Suarez-Rubio 4, Paul J. J. Bates 4,5, Htet Htet Lin 6, Aye Nyein Soe 6, Khin Swe Oo 7, Aung Aung Aye 8, Naw Dolly Wilbur 9, Ni Ni Win 9, Yupa Tin Soe 9, Khaing Khin Linn 9 and Swen C. Renner 10 Supplementary Materials: Classification of land-use types In each locality, four general habitat types representing four levels of urbanization have been established following the procedures of Suarez-Rubio et al. (2016): (1) "Downtown City" or DC which is downtown at the city centre with the highest human population; (2) "Paddy field" or PF which is an agricultural area just on the margins of each city; (3) "University Campus" or UC is within each city the university campus complex; and (4) "M Hill" or MH, which is a hill site close to each city. Downtown habitats are located at the city center and are highly developed (>70% impervious surface), and have a very high housing and human population density. Trees, mostly native species, are limited to few rather small patches and along streets. University Campus are located at the margin of the city center. It is moderately developed (30-40%), have relatively many large trees, and partially dense understory. Some parts are covered with grass or bare soils. Hill habitats are located outside of the city, and are sparsely developed (<30%), and are covered with forests that consist mainly of scrubs and thorn bushes of up to 15 m height.
