This article examines the formation and operation of Myanmar's Interim Ethics Review Board (IERB), which was established in November 2023 by displaced academics involved in the Civil Disobedience Movement against the 2021 military coup. Operating within a highly repressive, conflict‐ridden environment, the IERB exemplifies a locally‐led and context‐specific model for ethical oversight, which was designed to address challenges created by a context…
Toward gender-responsive forest governance and climate actions in Myanmar
Gender dynamics in forest governance and climate adaptation
This study examined gendered dynamics in forest governance and climate adaptation in two forest-dependent communities in southeastern Kachin State, Myanmar. Drawing on the Gender Box and Feminist Political Ecology frameworks, a mixed-methods approach was employed, including 30 household interviews, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. Findings revealed that women actively engaged in agroforestry, conservation, and adaptation str…
Assessing the Impacts of Dam Construction on the Livelihoods of Swidden Farmers in Pinlaung, Southern Shan State, Myanmar
Assessment on land use changes and livelihood transition under the hydropower dam construction in Paunglaung Township, Southern Shan Highlands, Myanmar
We examined agricultural land use changes and their impacts on the local livelihoods of upstream farmers after the Paunglaung hydropower dam construction in Myanmar. Landsat and GeoEye images, acquired in 2011 and 2018, were used to detect agricultural land use changes. A marked decrease in agricultural land (5.77% of farmland and 9.64% of swidden) was observed, whereas orchards and plantations were introduced as new farming practices. Using the …

Despite extensive research on spatial accessibility and connectivity, the specific role of reach centralities in differentiating areas with varying connectivity levels remains under-explored.In this context, this study examines the influence of reach centralities on the accessibility and connectivity of urban areas.It focuses on the Old Rusafa area in Baghdad, Iraq.Its aim is to determine if there is a correlation between reach centralities and t…
Gender-specific differences in high-risk sexual behaviors among methamphetamine users in Myanmar-China border city, Muse, Myanmar
High-risk sexual behaviors were particularly pronounced among both male and female MA users. MA prevention programs that reflect gender considerations should be developed to pay more attention to vulnerable populations such as migrants, clients of sex workers, and less educated female MA users
The Transition Away From Swidden Agriculture and Trends in Biomass Accumulation in Fallow Forests
Swidden farmers are rapidly transitioning to other types of land use. This study was conducted in 2 villages (T village and P village) in southern Chin State, Myanmar. The number of swidden-cultivating households decreased by 50% in T village over 2003–2013, and varied over 2004–2013 in P village; 21% and 13% of the total population in T and P villages, respectively, have out-migrated for employment. In addition, the introduction of terrace farmi…
Assessment of HIV testing among young methamphetamine users in Muse, Northern Shan State, Myanmar
Predisposing, enabling and need factors were significant contributors affecting uptake of HIV testing among young MA users. Integrating HIV testing into STI treatment programs, alongside general expansion of HIV testing services may be effective in increasing HIV testing uptake among young MA users
