  • Study on Lotus Fiber Production in Sunn Ye Inn, Sintgaing Township
    344 Banmaw University Research Journal 2020, Vol. 11, No.1 Study on Lotus Fiber Production in Sunn Ye Inn, Sintgaing Township San Win Abstract The lotus, Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. is grown naturally in Sunn Ye Inn in Sintgaing Township, Mandalay Region. The lotus stem especially leaf petiole is being extentsively used in the extraction of lotus fibers. It can be weaved to make the famous of lotus robe (Kyathingan) and other cloth materials. The raw material maily lotus fibers are obtained from Inn Khone Village in Sunn Ye Inn. The Sunn Ye Inn is the sources of lotus fiber production and foods for people. The N.nucifera Gaertn. is influenced on ecological impact of Sunn Ye Inn and eco-social impact of local people. Key words: Lotus, Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn, ecological impact, eco-social impact. Introduction Lotus plant has symbol of religion and spiritual power in history of Myanmar. Buddhists considered lotus flower represents the success, peaceful, fresh, graceful and pure mind. Because of its pristine value, Padonma Kya is also known as the sacred lotus. Ancient Myanmar Kings used lotus flower, bud, stems and petals in wall painting and statue (SK Myanmar Cultural Heritage 2016). All parts of lotus plant are useful, stem for producing lotus fiber, flower for offering to Buddha, leaves for packing food, meat etc. Lotus leaves are also used as plate to decorate food. Lotus root and seed are also edible (Hlaing 2016). Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. is an aquatic perennial belonging to the family of Nelumbonaceae, which has several common names (e.g. Indian lotus, Chinese water lily, and sacred lotus), lotus is a large and rhizomatous aquatic herb with slender, elongated, branched, creeping stem consisting of nodal roots; leaves are large, peltate; petioles are long, rough with small distinct prickles; flowers are white to rosy, sweet-scented, solitary, hermaphrodite, 10-25 cm diameter; ripe carpel are 12mm long, ovoid and glabrous; fruits are ovoid having nut like achene; seeds are black, hard and ovoid (Sridhar and Rajeev 2007).The lotus, N.

Nine microsatellite (SSR) markers were used to detect genetic polymorphism in a range from (3 to 6) alleles with (4.33) alleles per marker in average. Six out of nine microsatellite markers gave the PIC values of greater than (0.5). Among them, SSR36 held the highest PIC values of Received: April 08, 2019 (0.691) while MiSHRS39 and MN85 possessed the least PIC values of (0.368) and (0.387) respectively. The genetic Accepted: May 03, 2019 diversity was expressed as unbiased expected heterozygosity (UHe) value with an average of (0.561). The genetic Published: May 05, 2019 relationship was revealed by (UPGMA) dendrogram in a range of (0.69 to 1.00). Based on UPGMA cluster analysis, three main clusters were classified among three different locations.

    Myanmar Situation Update (12 - 18 July 2021) Summary Myanmar detained State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, President U Win Myint and former Naypyitaw Council Chairman Dr. Myo Aung appeared at a special court in Naypyitaw’s Zabuthiri township for their trial for incitement under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code. The junta filed fresh charges against Suu Kyi, bringing the number of cases she faces to ten with a potential prison sentence of 75 years. The next court hearings of their trial have been moved to July 26 and 27, following the junta’s designation of a week-long public holiday and lockdown order. Senior National League for Democracy (NLD) patron Win Htein was indicted on a sedition charge by a court inside a Naypyitaw detention center with a possible prison sentence of up to 20 years. The state- run MRTV also reported the Anti-Corruption Commission (AAC) made a complaint against the former Chief Minister of Shan State, three former state ministers, and three people under the anti-corruption law at Taunggyi Township police station while the junta has already filed corruption cases against many former State Chief Ministers under the NLD government.

  • Myingyan Degree College-2017 ,Vol-8-Compressed
    1 Myingyan Degree College Research Journal Vol .8, 2017 Study and Analysis on Composition Sakkarajs of Three Eigyins of Taungngu Period Tin Oo* Abstract This paper deals with the study and analysis on the composition sakkarajs (Myanmar Era) of such eigyins (classical poems addressed to a royal child extolling the glory of ancestors) as MintayarmedawEigyin, Minyekyawzwar Son Eigyin and Thakhingyi Eigyin appeared in Taungngu Period. This paper reveals the differences in the traditional specifications with regard to the composition sakkarajs of these eigyins comparing and conferring with the chronicles. Introduction The eigyingabyar (classical poem addressed to a royal child extolling the glory of ancestors; the verse begins and ends with the word ‘‘ei’’) is a kind of long ‘‘teigabyar’’(song verse or poem) soothing the royal child. It is a poem composed for the royal sons, daughters and lineages in infancy and beyond infancy. It is also a poem composing with ‘‘ei’’ k ranta or karyan (vowel sound of the letter; rhyma) at the end. The subject matters are the patriotism stimulating performances of the royal great- grandfather, royal father and royal relatives worthy of the highest praise composing eigyin. Therefore, it may be said that eigyin poem is a kind of ‘‘zartiman’’(national spirit; pride of one’s race and nation; pride of one’s lineage) literature capable of stimulating the zartithwei- zartiman (national spirit; hereditary pride and courage; patriotism). It may be designed as a kind of literature with historical value as it is like the contemporary record of that period. Throughout the history of Myanmar literature, 67 eigyins are found.
