Abstract:

Traffic Surveys are crucial for different transport studies like Origin-Destination studies, Traffic Volume estimations, Vehicle Flow characteristics Determinations, Speed and Delay Studies, Turning Movement analysis, Parking Analysis etc. Currently, Sri Lankan researchers are using mostly human-based manual surveys and semi-automated methods for Traffic Surveys. However, there is an issue in cost, effort, the value of time, and the accuracy of data gathering in the above methods. Therefore, under Accelerating Higher Education Expansion and Development (AHEAD) grant, we are researching the pos

Abstract:

Fostering innovation is considered one of the key policy priorities in most governments’ agendas in developing countries. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a principal resource for financing sustainable development, corresponding to 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). This study analyzes how inward FDI affects innovation in Sri Lanka using secondary data from 1990 to 2019. We used the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegration procedure to examine the long-run relationships between variables. As per the study results, the coefficient of inward FDI is a negative sign while the co

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and underlying sociodemographic correlates of smoking among Sri Lankans. Methods: A cross-sectional sample (N = 5000, age >18 years) was selected using a multistage random cluster sampling. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Results: Response rate was 91% (n = 4532); males 40%; mean age 46.1 years (±15.1). Overall, urban and rural prevalence of current smoking (smoking) was 18.3%, 17.2%, and 18.5%, respectively ( P = nonsignificant, urban vs rural). Smoking was much higher in males than in females (38

Changes in the global economy and cultural norms have given the opportunity for women to be employed and attain higher education. This study aims to explore the work-family-education balance of the married female graduate students. It examined how work-family-education affects the daily lives of married female graduate students and posed the question whether they manage to balance those three spheres, if so what are the ways they have developed to manage the difficulties emerging from each sphere. The sample comprised of 15 participants who were pursuing graduate degrees at a state university.
