The Relationship Between Teachers’ Demographic Profiles And Teachers’ Perception Towards The Internal Quality Assurance Assessment At Program Level In Two Secondary High Schools In Laiza And Mai Ja Yang Townships, Kachin State, Myanmar.

The purpose of this study was to determine the teachers’ perception towards Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) Assessment at program level and relationship with the teachers’ demographic factors: age, educational qualification, years of service in school, and academic rank in two Secondary High Schools in Laiza and Mai Ja Yang Townships, Kachin State, Myanmar, and to compare teachers’ perception towards internal quality assurance system according to teachers’ gender. Two set of questionnaires were used to conduct this study: Questionnaires for teachers’ demographic profile and Questionnaires for Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) Assessment at Program Level. 95% of the questionnaires were returned valid and data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (r). The findings of objectives were that the teachers’ perception towards total internal quality assurance system based on fifteen components was at low level. Therefore, there was no significant difference between male teachers and female teachers’ perception towards internal quality assurance system according to teachers’ gender. There was no significant relationship between internal quality assurance system at program level and other teachers’ demographic factors. Since all the significant values were bigger than .05 at the significant level. The study recommended that school’s principals and board committee members should pay more attention to focus on IQA strategic planning and implementation process in order for promoting schools’ quality

Understanding Impulsive Buying Behavior in Mobile Commerce

Mobile commerce, under the mature development of mobile devices and mobile technology services, has gradually influenced consumer shopping behavior and e-commerce patterns. The majority of past research of mobile commerce has concentrated on mobile technology and consumer shopping behavior. Fewer works took a mobile media application point of view to discuss the effects of mobile devices, mobile service performance and content on consumers\u27 impulse buying intent. Therefore, the aim of this study is to take the perspective of mobile media technology convergence on combination with the impulsive personality of consumers and flow experience to understand the impulsive purchase intent of consumers on mobile commerce platforms. Data collected from 322 customers of the iTunes (App store) provide strong support for the research model. The results indicate that a higher level of impulsivity reduces the effect of enjoyment on irresistible urge to buy. The data also show that emotional conflict, positive buying emotion, mood management, cognitive deliberation, disregard the future and unplanned buying are important to impulsivity formation and thus relevant within the context of impulse buying intention. The survey results provide service providers to design applications that attract consumers to make impulse purchases

Demonstration of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering with Enhanced Subchannel Discrimination

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering describes a quantum nonlocal phenomenon in which one party can nonlocally affect the other's state through local measurements. It reveals an additional concept of quantum nonlocality, which stands between quantum entanglement and Bell nonlocality. Recently, a quantum information task named as subchannel discrimination (SD) provides a necessary and sufficient characterization of EPR steering. The success probability of SD using steerable states is higher than using any unsteerable states, even when they are entangled. However, the detailed construction of such subchannels and the experimental realization of the corresponding task are still technologically challenging. In this work, we designed a feasible collection of subchannels for a quantum channel and experimentally demonstrated the corresponding SD task where the probabilities of correct discrimination are clearly enhanced by exploiting steerable states. Our results provide a concrete example to operationally demonstrate EPR steering and shine a new light on the potential application of EPR steering.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures, appendix include
