Conference Information

Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University organized its first International conference on Sciences and Social Sciences in the year 2011, or ICSSS 2011, serving as an international platform for academics and scholars from Thailand and abroad to present and share their researches and experiences in various fields under sciences and social sciences. Our first ICSSS successfully attracted participants from all over the country and abroad. The second International conference on Sciences and Social Sciences was organized in 2012 under the theme “Innovation for Regional Development" in response to the urgent needs, policies and development strategies of the ASEAN countries to officially become one ASEAN Economic Community in the year 2015. With kind cooperation from our partner universities in the US, Europe and Asia, the ICSSS 2012 could attract more professionals, academics, scholars, researchers and graduate students from all over the country and abroad, especially our colleagues from other ASEAN countries, This year's ICSSS 2013 under the theme "Research and Development for Sustainable Life Quality" is no less remarkable in attracting academics, scholars, and researchers from home and abroad to present and share their works and establish networks of academic cooperation in a variety of disciplines of Sciences and Social Sciences. It is expected that this year's event will lead to further cooperation among colleagues from ASEAN institutions as well as closer ties with our partners and fellow academics and researchers from other regions of the world to improve our works and share our research findings and experiences in sciences and social sciences. The ultimate goal is to motivate one another as we join hands to work in various disciplines of sciences and social sciences to improve life quality and to ensure sustainable high quality of living.

Generations, Resiliency, Adaptation and Culture in Sustainable Agriculture

ABSTRACT

Sustainability of agriculture is drawing worldwide attention from scientists and increasingly policy makers. Generally, however, the attention is focused either on the economics of farming (read profitability) or the environmental concerns related to soil depletion, erosion, pesticide use, and other environmental “damages” that result from agriculture. Yet, most conceptions of sustainability recognize a social or cultural aspect to sustainability. This third component seems to be the least studied, that of social or cultural sustainability. This presentation will focus on the social/cultural aspects of sustainability of agriculture in northwest Ohio, USA, an area that historically has had a strong “family farm” presence with an emphasis on floriculture, that faced rapid changes that threaten the ongoing viability of smaller family farm style agriculture, oddly an organization of agriculture that many believe is more sustainable than industrial, energy intensive agriculture. Using past research performed by a team of researchers funded by the USDA to help and understand the plight of these farmers and with a special emphasis on oral history data, this presentation will focus on social/cultural sustainability of family farms in NW Ohio, USA. The presentation will focus on three themes related to social/cultural sustainability which emerged from the oral histories: succession from one generation to another (the generational aspect of sustainability); strategies for surviving change (resiliency and adaptation); and changes in women’s gender roles (social/cultural change).

Sustainability and Aging: A Tale of Two Countries

Tina M. Kruger

ABSTRACT

Over the next few decades, the world will experience an unprecedented aging of the population, and the United States and Thailand are no exceptions. In the U.S. older adults are expected to make up 20% of the population by 2050. Thailand is experiencing an even more rapid population aging - older adults will comprise 30% of the population by 2050. These shifting demographics reflect the great gains both countries have made in public health and sanitation, in child and maternal health, in access to health care (including contraceptives), and in treating acute and deadly health conditions. These strides in health and longevity, while good for individuals, present challenges to society, including threats to the environment. Increased life expectancy is often accompanied by higher demand for energy and resources, including intensive medical equipment and treatment and greater heating and cooling needs, among other demands, which vary between the U.S. and Thailand. As vast numbers of human beings currently subsist without secure access to basic needs, ensuring equitable resource availability for all is urgent and aligns with expectations outlined in Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (i.e., “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself [sic] and of his [sic] family…”) Exploration of these issues related to aging and sustainability and the differences presented in the U.S. and Thailand may prove useful for identifying strategies that both protect the environment and promote quality of life for older adults and those who interact with them in both countries.

Transboundary Environmental and Social Impact Assessment of Hydropower Development: The Case of Lao PDR

Sengdeuane Wayakone

ABSTRACT

The concept of transboundary area issues could be identified in different ways depending on different purposes. The Mekong River Commission (MRC) defines transboundary impacts as: “A measurable impacts originating from a place in another country” and not all transboundary impacts is necessary negative. Any activities on the Mekong River or its tributaries of one country may influence or have significance impact water resource availability in another leading to transboundary issues. This presentation tries to brief an overview issue related to the transboundary environmental and social impact assessment (TBESIA) of hydropower development in Laos, the main concerned on TBESIA of the Lao government.

Laos is a landlocked, mountainous country, widely covered by largely unspoilt tropical forest. The “Jewel of the Mekong” posted 8.0% GDP growth in 2011 and has been the fourth steadiest-growing economy in the world over the last nine years. Despite being the smallest economy in Southeast Asia, it is also slated to be the fastest-growing in the region this year, on track to post 8.3% GDP growth according to the IMF.

The power sector not only generates revenues to the country, but also contributes to rural development and poverty reduction through rural electrification. The most valuable asset for Laos is its hydropower, estimated at potentially 26,000 megawatts and primarily earmarked for export to neighboring countries with high demands for electricity. Laos has the potential to develop about 100 hydropower plants with a combined installed electricity generation capacity of about 26,000 megawatts. So far, 14 dams have been built with a total installed electricity capacity of 3,200MW. The Lao government wants to increase production to 23,000 MW by 2030. Both Vietnam and Thailand want to buy 7,000 MW each, while Cambodia wants 2,000. As far as China goes: "However much you have, they will import from you." The government would like to see Laos become the "battery of Asia", supplying clean and renewable energy to the region. The government has committed to develop hydropower in sustainable ways and is seeking cooperation from the international community.

The significance impacts of the hydropower project may cause changes in bank erosion, flow regime, water quality and quantity such as suspended solid loads, oxygen levels, natural flow pattern, timing and duration of flood event, declining of the production of fish, biological and socio-economic changes. However, hydropower development in the Mekong must be sustainable. It must leave people better off than before the development, and it must address the environmental and social impacts, which inevitably flow from this development, not only locally, but in the entire basin.

Recognizing the importance of impact assessment for the sustainable development of the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB), TBEIA will be the key step to bringing together all stakeholders to prevent environmental damage before it occurs. The planning for water resource management for sustainable development is one of the main policies of Lao government either at national or local socio-economic development level. Moreover, Lao PDR also considers the TBEIA is the main concern by putting in the Degree of EIA article 4: “For an investment project, which is likely to create impacts beyond the border, a transboundary environmental impact assessment must be conducted”.

XVIII

Since environmental threats do not respect national borders, governments have realized that to avert this danger they must notify and consult each other on all major projects under consideration that might have adverse environmental impact across borders. Proposed hydropower development projects along the Mekong River entail significant transboundary impacts that will be felt by all countries in the Mekong Basin.

According to the 1995 Mekong Agreement, Mekong River Commission (MRC) Member Countries are required to hold notification, prior consultations or agreement in order to discuss transboundary impacts Mekong development may have on neighboring countries, before any commitment is made to proceed. Lao commitment to the 1995 Mekong Agreement and its Procedural Rules, including environmental and social impact assessments, means that all hydropower development on the Mekong mainstream in Lao PDR will adhere strictly to this Agreement. So far, information regarding the dam construction in the Mekong River of Lao PDR has been exchanged between members of Mekong River Commission (MRC), an intergovernmental group that focuses on the management and sustainable development of the river.

In conclusion, environmental problems today are a common challenge to us all. They range from direct daily concerns to global issues, even affecting future generations to come. Due to the cumulative as well as transboundary effects of individual environmental problems and the great impact they can have on the earth-our base for survival, it is vital for central and local governments, enterprises and individuals to cooperate and coordinate actions, both on the international and domestic levels, to effectively respond to these issues.

Sustaining Quality Teacher Education

Sally Hansen Director of Institute of Education, Massey University

ABSTRACT

Teacher Education has always been a site of ideological struggle and more recently also of political tension. Teacher quality and the relationship with student achievement has become a political focus for many nations. Research is clear that teachers do make a difference and quality teachers can assist in ensuring that students achieve quality outcomes. The challenge facing us at present is how to sustain and grow quality teachers in an era of diminishing resources and competing imperatives. In order to sustain quality teacher education for the future it is necessary to shift teacher education from being viewed as a problem to being viewed rather as the solution. This address considers what the current teacher education problems are and poses a number of key questions about the nature and shape of quality teacher education. Finally by drawing on the Massey University experience, suggestions are made about the elements of teacher education that are both future-focused and sustainable.

ABSTRACT

The induced immunity in long cayenne pepper in term of phytoalexin production using microbial elicitors as chaetoglobosin C from Chaetomium globosum, chaetomanone A from Chaetomium lucknowense, and trichotoxin A50 from Trichoderma harzianum PC01 were investigated in pot experiment. Result showed that stem inoculation of chilli plant with Colletotrichum capsici isolate C208 expressed necrosis and found to be accumulated capsidiol, a phytoalexin. Stem inoculation to chilli plant showed different degree of sensitivity to C. capsici, expressed necrosis along the stems. It is proved that microbial elicitors:- chaetoglobosin C, chaetomanone A, and trichotoxin A50, induced immunity response against C. capsici. Qualitative analysis of capsidiol, a phytoalexin, and accumulation in the upper part of the chilli plant was detected by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and showed that capsidiol was accumulated in chilli plant for 5 and 10 days after elicitation with microbial elicitors, while no capsidiol was detected in the non-inoculated and non-treated microbial elicitors. Chilli cultivation of long cayenne pepper in vivo was conducted by spraying chaetoglobosin C, chaetomanone A and trichotoxin A50 compared to chemical fungicide (difenoconazole). Result showed that application of each microbial elicitor could reduce disease incidence when compared to inoculate control, meanwhile difenoconazole could reduce the disease of 33%. Additionally, the yield increased when compared to inoculated control. Chilli cultivation for long cayenne pepper in vivo using biological fungicides of Bio-CG from C. globosum N0802, Bio-CLT from C. lucknowense CLT and Bio-T from T. harzianum PC01 resulted to reduce disease incidence when compared to inoculated control, meanwhile difenoconazole could reduce the disease of 33%. Moreover, Bio-CG, Bio-CLT and Bio-T could also increase in yield than control. Moreover, the bioactive compounds of chaetoglobosin C, chaetomanone A and trichotoxin A50 were then used as microbial elicitors to elicit -tomatine in tomato. The -tomatine was detected by HPLC after treated with bioactive compounds. Chaetoglobosin C, chaetomanone A and trichotoxin A50 were sprayed onto inoculated tomato seedling var. Sida with F. oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici NKSC01 and detected for plant disease immunity and quantity of -tomatine. Results revealed that plant disease immunity on treated tomato seedlings with chaetoglobosin C, chaetomanone A and trichotoxin A50 at concentration 50 µg/ml after 10 days were 44.97%, 35.18% and 39.43%, respectively when compared to prochloraz that showed plant disease immunity at 29.95%. The stems and leaves of tomato were extracted and spotted on TLC paper resulted to green spot which showed Rf = 0.23 as same as a spot of XXVII

Dog and Cat Food

Prof. Dr. Anton Beynen Vobra Special Petfoods, Veghel, The Netherlands

ABSTRACT

A long life of high quality is what owners wish for their pets. The well-documented fact that diet restriction increases life span of rodents extends to dogs. Diet restriction may prevent and/or delay the development of osteoarthritis, cancer and diabetes mellitus in dogs and cats. Apart from the amount of food, its composition may also affect the signs of ageing. There is circumstantial evidence that an increased dietary concentration of vitamin E will counteract the development of senile dementia in dogs. Lowering the intake of phosphorus with ageing may reduce the risk of developing chronic renal failure in cats. Excessive energy intake clearly affects the development of skeletal disease. It has been shown repeatedly that overfeeding versus restricted feeding of young dogs leads to osteochondrosis. The effect of overfeeding on skeletal disorders probably is mediated by the associated increase in body weight. However, excessive calcium intake as sole dietary variable produces clinical osteochondrosis in Great Danes and subclinical skeletal disorders in other breeds. The petfood industry in Thailand is growing rapidly. It should be supported by experts in pet nutrition. The need of experts requires the promotion of pet nutrition science at Thai universities.

ABSRACT

This paper describes the status and key success factors of cooperatives managing sustained enterprises. Selected undergraduate researches of the Department of Agribusiness Management and Entrepreneurship (DAME), College of Economics and Management (CEM) at the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) were reviewed.

Since 1976, the department’s undergraduate students have been producing researches related to cooperatives ranging from case studies, market researches, feasibility studies/business development plans, apprenticeship studies and special topics. In the last decade, however, cooperatives have been observed to have morphed, from purely lending entities, into cooperative enterprises managing various businesses such as dairy projects, feedmills, natural fiber processing, among others. The strategic partners of the cooperatives in their business endeavors include government institutions such as the country’s Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and UPLB; other cooperatives; foundations; and private groups such as overseas workers’ groups. There were cooperatives engaged in projects with social entrepreneurship goals such as the increased profitability of coconut farmers, the employment of women and the social inclusion of jail inmates. Among those with business enterprises, the common issues faced by the cooperatives include insignificant market share, insufficient working capital and the lack of management skills among project managers. The key success factors observed among the sustained enterprises of cooperatives include: diversified products, key people with strong technical and business management background, wide distribution network, innovative marketing strategies and a strong entrepreneurial culture. There are potentially rewarding business opportunities for cooperatives such as that of strategic alliances with established manufacturing companies for those producing semi-processed products.

Key Words: Cooperative Enterprises, Enterprise Sustainability, Key Success factors

ABSTRACT

World is changing with an unprecedented acceleration. Some countries that were previously unable to make adequate production or made no production and had to bend the knee before Western world’s power of production and industry are changing dramatically at the present time and trying to develop. They are now capable of competing with the Western world. The most important reason of that are the change in “power perception” of those countries as well as their practice in business model innovation. Some of those countries are also aware that they have to deal with social improvement and environmental control concepts together and at long sight as well as economic development. In this way it may be possible to be confident about the future and to vindicate the rights of rising generation by securing continuity of economic growth and social improvement. The point we particularly lay stress on here is the research for how the upside trend of the countries, especially that of Turkey, that have gone over the certain limits with regards to development has been changed on the basis of “power perception” of their business model innovation strategies in terms of sustainable growth.

Asabiyya or asabiyah refers to social solidarity with an emphasis on unity, group consciousness and sense of shared purpose, and social cohesion, originally in a context of "tribalism" and "clanism". It was a familiar term in the pre-Islamic era, but became popularized in Ibn Khaldun's Muqaddimah where it is described as the fundamental bond of human society and the basic motive force of history. `Ibn Khaldun uses the term Asabiyyah to describe the bond of cohesion among humans in a group forming community. The bond, Asabiyyah, exists at any level of civilization, from nomadic society to states and empires. Asabiyyah is most strong in the nomadic phase, and decreases as civilization advances. As this Asabiyyah declines, another more compelling

TEACHING CHILDREN ENGLISH WITH CHANTS

Hoang Tang Duc Vinh University, Vietnam

ABSTRACT

Children seem to be creative and talented in their oral skills with music and visual support. They probably feel easy to learn a new language through different activities with rhythmical sounds and physical movements. Therefore, using chants and songs in English classes has clear advantages for language learning. It motivates children, especially young kids, not only to acquire new vocabulary and grammatical structures in an enjoyable way, but also to use body language or gestures to illustrate meaning. The workshop aims to provide teachers of English and those who are keen on teaching English to children with techniques necessary for conducting chants in the classroom. Participants will also have a chance to observe various demonstrations, to practice, and to create their own chants suitable for their kids. The workshop will partly meet the demands of teaching method innovation and the implementation of the new English curriculum and textbooks at primary schools in Vietnam.

FILIAL EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN THROUGH CONFUCIAN CULTURE OF CONFUCIUS

Bui Van Hung Master of Education Faculty of Education - Vinh University, 182 Le Duan street -Vinh city, Viet Nam [email protected]

ABSTRACT

From ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are two extremely important categories in traditional Confucian culture. In particular, filial piety is considered the core of virtue in moral systems: Charity, affection, gratitude, wisdom, prestige of Viet Nam. Our country is having innovation, deep integration with the world, from which we have the opportunity to extract the essence fro good cultures of other countries to enrich the culture of our country. However, the flip side of this problem is hybridization of culture if we fail to properly filter: Practice has proved that there are recently Westernized views of family relationships. In short, we need to appreciate more educational issues of filial piety for the younger generation

ABSTRACT

This research study examined the production process for toll way receipt with a case study of T.K.S. Siampress Management Co., Ltd. with the aim to study the problems, analyze the causes and find the solutions to improve the efficiency of the production process for toll way receipt. The data were collected about the steps in the production process for toll way receipt from the printing stage up to the post-printing stage. It was found that the problems which caused the inefficiency included the complicated working step and the unsuitable flow of work with some bottleneck output. Afterwards, the researcher did a brainstorming to classify and prioritize the problems as well as to analyze the causes by using fishbone ‘Cause and Effect Diagram’. The main causes were Man, Machine, Material and Method, respectively. The printing house was given a suggestion to adopt a new printing process by replacing the delivery tool for the post-printing service and the new layout of the printers as well as the work flow.

ABSTRACT

A study has been carried out to determine the distribution of aliphatic hydrocarbons in surface soils of Kuantan City, Pahang, Malaysia. Thirty soil samples (0-15cm depth) were collected from area around Kuantan City covering town center, schools, recreation areas and industrial zones. Hydrocarbons were extracted with dichloromethane using ultrasonic agitation technique and fractioned with silica- alumina column. Characterization of individual hydrocarbon components was carried out using Gas Chromatography – Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID). Total identified resolved aliphatic hydrocarbon (TIRAH) concentrations in soil samples were found ranging from 0.37 to 139µgg-1. Carbon preference index (CPI) values for higher plant wax n-alkanes varied between 0.39 and 1.40, with a mean value of 1.11. No significant correlation between soil organic matter content and the concentrations of n-alkanes was observed. Results indicated that the aliphatic hydrocarbons were from both biogenic and anthropogenic sources.

ABSTRACT

Rice husk provides an abundance of silica or silicon dioxide (SiO2). This study aimed to make use of rice husk ash as a printing and coating raw material. Silica powder was synthesized by refluxing of rice husk ash with 2M hydrochloric acid (HCl), reaction times 60 and 120 min, 80 °C before the calcinations in muffle furnace at 650 °C and 800 °C for 4 h. The extraction led the 15% yield of SiO2 with highest purity of 98.7%. Such results were affected by the concentration of HCl solution and reaction time. The analysis of structure and characterization indicated that the calcination at 650 °C outperformed 800 °C because it yielded amorphous silica, greater extent of porosity and better colorness which was considered suitable to use as printing and coating material.

ABSTRACT

Recent research documenting important changes in gender specific offending over past decades has offered women’s economic marginalization and the patriarchal capitalist structure of society as important explanations of this phenomenon. This study builds on previous work by further exploring the utility of women’s economic marginalization and elements of the patriarchal capitalist structure of society to understand changing gender differences in crime. Using pooled cross-sectional time series regression analysis I estimate the effect of changes in multiple dimensions of women’s economic marginalization and the patriarchal capitalist structure on the changing female percentage of arrests for violent offending in U.S. cities for the time period 1980-2000. Overall, study results offer insight into the unique impact of women’s economic marginalization and the patriarchal capitalist structure on the changing female percentage of arrests for various crimes.

Suthinee Atthakorn D.P.A, Public Administration Program, College of Law and Government, Rajabhat Mahasarakham University

ABSTRACT

This study is aiming at measuring the level of Rajabhat university lecturer development and factors affecting that kind of development and providing recommendations on how to improve human capital of this area. The focus of the research is on Rajabhat university lecturers in the northeastern region. Mixed research methods of quantitative and qualitative research have been employed. For quantitative research, questionnaires are used to collect data by using 284 samples out of 968 lecturers from Rajabhat Mahasarakham University, Rajabhat Surin University and Rajabhat Kalasin University. Descriptive statistics are mean, percentage, and standard deviation and inferential statistics are utilized to test hypotheses including t-test, F-test and multiple regression analysis. Concepts and theories for this research are human resource development, closed - opened system of organization theory and resource dependence theory (Pfeffer, 1982; Pfeffer & Salancik, 1978). For qualitative research, in-depth interviews and case studies of university lecturer development are used to substantiate and further explain the quantitative results. The results of the research revealed that the average level of lecturer development in Rajabhat universities in the northeastern region was low. The chance of further higher education development was at the lowest level, while university lecturer learning from working experience was at the high level. Factors affecting Rajabhat university lecturer development were; 1) policy support from external agencies, 2) organization communications, 3) support from executives, 4) cooperation with external agencies and 5) positive incentive. The hypotheses have been confirmed at the 0.05 level of statistical significance. The main multiple regression equation used in the study had the explanatory power at 47.3 percent. This finding confirmed the theory that university lecturer development was relied on both internal and external organization factors which justified the theory of the significant relationship between closed system and opened system organization theories. Moreover, the results of the qualitative research partially confirmed the findings of the quantitative research while reflecting the fact that lecturer developing should start at the lecturers’ personal achievement motives.

In order to maintain its presence in the world of national culture, it is necessary to preserve a variety of ways. The objective is to give an attractive and competitive alternative in terms of preserving the art of Batavian culture. The idea proposed is to create a competition as the Batavian Games on Cultural and Arts with basic mechanism is similar to the SEA Games. The ideas of Batavian Games on Cultural and Arts arise because there are many arts Sanggar Batavian cultures still exist in Jakarta, but still quiet activities. Cultural diversity is still there and was not staged as many as before. Therefore, to preserve the art and culture still exists; the authors propose to make an Olympic competition with a method to re-enable the activities of Batavian culture in the art gallery. Participants may take part are not limited to the ethnic Batavian, but all the people who have identity cards and surrounding Jakarta domicile may participate in this competition. In the end when the activity is already running routine, expected existence Batavian culture will be able to stay awake. Immigrant population is not indigenous Batavian also be interested and able to participate in maintaining preservation. Variety of art that has been lost Batavian culture was also expected to re-emerge and re-become one of the cultural richness of Indonesia.

It was settled down during the same period of the establishment of the Pak Phanang town, the provincial intendants’ area (Since 1895). Regarding its location near river, people in this community both reside and do business to serve passengers, commuting by water route. Thus, this area becomes a central business district of the southern province of Thailand. During the past 35 years, water transport had been decreasing popularity due to a new land route. Consequently, the market was stagnant, causing the residential building to deteriorate. Withing the provincial sector’s support latterly, Saothongtong old market was renovated to promote tourism. Unfortunately, the present tourism development was not support the concept of sustainability in regards to the deficiency in systematic management of the community. The objective of this paper is to study the potential of tourism in Saothongtong old market community, particularly, the community participation in tourism operations, tourism problems and a guideline for community development with sustainable tourism. The research methods consist of field trip observation, document research, and questionnaires, sampling of tourists in Saothongtong old market, also includes an in-depth interview to the community residents. Statistical analysis together with data information is used for consideration. The findings reveal that Saothongtong old market community has high potential for tourism due to various attractions namely, activities, culture, and local and natural identities. However, the community has not the formal leader and there are problems of benefit distribution. Therefore, the government sector should provide assistance such as arranging community training, providing information to the community and coordinating with tour operators, local people, and the relevant organizations and institutes in order to enhance the strengths of the community as well as to promote Community-based Tourism (CBT).

ABSTRACT

Since computers have been replaced by Tablet PCs (TPC), due to some inconveniences as being big and heavy to carry whereas tablet is easy to carry and takes a small place. TPC is a combination of a pocket and a laptop as configuration which be operated with screen and its touch screen instead of keyboard. Tablet can enhance the learning process when students have the potential to use it not for entertainment, but also as a tool in their complex educational setting to read digital textbooks, to take notes in class, and to download applications such as study guides. With the government supported Tablet across primary schools in Thailand named “One Tablet Per Child, OTPC” as a tool for students to learn of the book, to maximize the benefits activities depends on the teacher, administrators, and parents. The research analyses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in order to examine primary students’ behavioural intention to use the TPC. The TPC Usage Questionnaire was developed using and modified from existing scales in prior TAM instruments. Two hundred forty five participants completed the survey questionnaire measuring their responses to perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), attitudes towards using technology (ATUT) and behavioural intention to use (BIU). The model and hypotheses were tested by examining the path coefficients and their significance. The finding supports that PEOU, PU, ATUT demonstrated relationship to Behavior Intention to Use (BIU). Perceived ease of use (PEOU) had a significant effect on Attitude Toward Using Technology (ATUT), with p < 0.01 (path = 0.481) while Perceived Usefulness (PU) did not. Attitude toward using technology (ATUT) had a significant effect on Behavioural Intention to Use (BIU),with p < 0.01 (path = 0.347). Results suggest that TAM is a solid theoretical model where its validity can extend to TPC context.

THAI HIGHER EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE?

Dr. Craig Wheway Rajabhat Mahasarakham University 80 Nakhon Sawan Rd Mueang Maha Sarakham, Maha Sarakham Thailand 44000 (* author for correspondence, e-mail [email protected])

ABSTRACT

Thailand has experienced rapid economic growth between 1986 and 1996; however, contemporary economic growth has slowed relatively speaking. This paper argues that the key to restoring economic growth is to improve the Thai Higher Education system. Thailand possess one of the weaker education systems in Southeast Asia and with the rise of its neighbours (specifically Vietnam), the country cannot stand still in tackling the root problems in its education system. The Office for Higher Education (OHEC) recognises the falling performance of Thai students in international tests and has created four types of university to meet future demands on the Thai Higher Education system. This paper proposes that creating new university structures and increasing budgets will not tackle the problem. The paper will highlight the issues related to developing economies and their education systems, the role of lecturers in thwarting progress, educational reforms (or lack of) and the growing pressure to establish international programmes to generate income (Nilphan, 2005).

ABSTRACT Dethesis is a new method to compose short stories in Donald Barthelme and Nguyen Huy Thiep’s styles. This is a type of postmodern thesis, a multivalue thesis by putting many theses together. In ‘The City of Churches’ (1973) and ‘Crossing the River’ (1992) we can find out the thesis of Christianism and Buddhist, thesis of heroism, thesis of merchant, thesis of sin etc. The stories made use of theses to dissolve theses in order to give readers a power of understanding its meaning and the chaos of reality. Dethesis creates non-center narrators in the work. It swaps the center and periphery and creates a shift in meaning that takes readers along with it at once.

ABSTRACT

Extraction of natural resources such as mining is limited within a particular geographical area. Often its activities are conducted in or near communities and have direct or indirect impacts on community resources, capabilities and well-being, thus leading to a state of poverty, violent behaviour and resentment by communities towards business, and other forms of human deprivation. By adopting within-text literature analysis, this paper explores actions and consequences of mining multinational corporations (MNCs) in two countries in Mekong region, Thailand and Lao PDR. The focus is given to key corporate social responsibility (CSR) actions by international mining companies in both countries. This paper also examines key principles of CSR programs from mining MNCs, particular their activities on socio-economic and environmental development. Data is collected from two major sources (1) annual and CSR reports from mining MNCs, and (2) key academic journals in international business and social studies. This paper argues that CSR approaches by mining MNCs can affect the outcomes of the programs in terms of MNCs’ relationship with key stakeholders in the communities, practices of the CSR projects, and the improvement of socio-economic and environmental conditions in Thailand and Lao PDR.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN VIETNAM AND LAO PDR: WHAT HAS BEEN DONE?

Nattavud Pimpa School of Management Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT University) Melbourne, Australia (Author for correspondence, e-mail: [email protected])

ABSTRACT

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has long been one of the key strategic activities by multinational corporations (MNCs). Although it suffers criticism as a marketing tactic by MNCs and local business organizations, CSR activities, if executed properly, can improve socio-economic and political conditions in the host countries. This paper presents business practices and CSR lesson learnt from MNCs and local corporations operating in Vietnam and Lao PDR. The data is collected from secondary sources including key journals in business ethics, development, and international business, corporate reports and policy briefs. The researcher performed a between-study literature analysis in order to understand progress of CSR in Vietnam and Lao PDR. The status of research on the management of CSR as well as practices by business organizations are discussed in this paper. This paper also argues that, due to cultural and political climates in both countries, CSR actions must be seen as a response to the local needs. More importantly, inclusion is seen as an important approach in conducting CSR in both countries.

ABSTRACT

The study of the effect of biochar on levels of macronutrients in a sandy clay textured soil used for growing upland ricewas conducted on an experimental plot Pa Deng Sub-district, Kaengkrachan District, Phetchaburi Province in southern Thailand. The experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD). There were four treatments, each with three replicates: 1) untreated soil (control), 2) soil incorporation of organic fertilizer (0.625 kg/m2), 3) soil incorporation of biochar(1kg/m2), and 4) soil incorporation of biochar plus organic fertilizer (1kg/m2). Soil samples were collected before and during six growth stages of rice: seedling, tillering, panicle initiation, booting, flowering and grain maturation. The results indicated that the biochar + organic fertilizer treatment had significantly greater benefits on soil macronutrient concentration - total nitrogen, available phosphorus and exchangeable potassium - than the other treatments.

ABSTRACT

This study provides an integrated vulnerability assessment of the traditional land-use systems of the Mangyan indigenous communities living at the lowland-upland environs of Mt. Halcon, a critical protected area in the island-province of Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. With the limited studies in Asia that analyze potential climate change impacts on marginal sectors such as the indigenous peoples many of whom continue to live in critical upland ecosystems, this study explores the utility of Principal Component Analysis in determining the specific socio-economic and biophysical component variables of climate change vulnerability--defined as a function of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity, both at the households and community levels while also aiming to provide bases for specific policy options to enhance indigenous community’s capability in dealing with climate change. Utilizing the location- specific assessment indices formulated in the study, it is shown that the degree of vulnerability is differentiated even between and among the perceived homogenous Mangyan indigenous communities. Weather extremes such as typhoons and droughts that are projected to increase in the coming years, were found to have direct impacts on the Mangyans’ subsistent farming systems, but the value of their vast yet untapped indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) is indispensible in explaining their seemingly inherent high adaptive capacity. The importance of plant resources among the Alangan-Mangyans’ agroecosystems totaling to about 130 species accounting to about 1,255 individuals belonging to a total of 44 families, provide support mechanisms as food, medicinal, indigenous infrastructure, weaving and adornments purposes. Thus, in contrast to implementing purely externally determined adaptation programs among marginal sectors, there is a need to capitalize on their indigenous knowledge systems on plant resources to reduce their vulnerability to weather extremes and hazards related to climate change.

LABORATORY ANIMALS IN RESEARCH

Maria Dalisay G. Maligalig, PhD University of the Philippines Los Baños College, Laguna 4031 Philippines [email protected]

ABSTRACT

Conducting a research is one way by which a learner would understand better and integrate basic biological concepts in a faster and more effective manner. Research instills discipline and develops higher cognitive skills as well as trains the student to be an organized and systematic thinker and worker. History shows that animals have been used in experiments to have an appreciation of the biology of organ systems, to help improve livelihood and food production, or to find preventive or therapeutic answers for certain diseases. Traditionally, laboratory animals have been used only by undergraduate and graduate theses students and full time researchers. However, with the new generation of learners and a paradigm shift in education, conforming to the 3 R dictum of Russel and Burch in Animal Experimentation becomes a necessity. It is timely to look into the ethics of using animals in research, the current laws and regulations and review the guidelines in the choice of species as well as the care and handling of common laboratory animals.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to analyze and synthesize a concept of caring in nursing professionals and develop the expressions of caring behavior as a guideline for the promotion of caring behavior in new nurses. The mixed methods research contained two phases. Phase 1: The analysis and synthesis of the concept of a caring theory in nursing professionals about the expressions of caring behavior and guidelines for the promotion of caring behavior in new nurses from the literature and research include interviews with an expert in education, nurses, patients and patients’ families. The participants were seven people as follows: an expert in education, two registered nurses in the inpatient department of Kalasin hospital, two patients admitted to the inpatient department of Kalasin hospital and two members of the patients’ families. The research instrument was a semi-structural questionnaire. The data was analyzed by content analysis and categorized. Phase 2: The selection of the expressions of caring behavior and guidelines for the promotion of caring behavior in new nurses by the Delphi technique. The participants were 18 experts including two experts in education, eight experts in nursing administration and eight experts in nursing practice. The research instruments were three questionnaires for the selection of expressions of caring behavior and guidelines for the promotion of caring behavior in new nurses by the Delphi technique. The data from the first Delphi technique was analyzed by added and edited following the expert’s recommendations. The data from the second Delphi technique was analyzed by the median and interquartile range of each behavior and consensus. The findings showed the main content of the analysis and synthesis of the concept of caring theory in nursing professionals from the literature and research including the opinions of an expert in education, nurses, patients and patients’ families. This contained six components as follows: kindness, understanding worth and showing respect, professional relationship, professional competency, professional ethics and holistic care. The training was a method for the promotion of caring behavior in new nurses including many activities such as linking into working, hypothetical situation, role model, sharing with senior nurse, problem solving, lecture, discussion and VDO. Additionally, the opinions for the selection of the expressions of caring behavior and guidelines for the promotion of caring behavior in new nurses were identified from the findings of the first Delphi technique. The experts approved all of the components of caring behavior and the guidelines for the promotion of caring behavior in new nurses as identified in the researcher’s concepts. However, the experts recommend some behaviors were deleted, changed or wording added; while, some behaviors were moved to a more suitable component. The researcher’s concepts were developed as 54 caring behaviors while in the opinion of the experts there were 50 caring behaviors.

ABSTRACT

We present an alternative approach to studying the dynamics of disease spread. Here, a closed community is assumed to be a square lattice. Each site corresponds to one individual, which is classified as susceptible, infected or recovered. Dipole spins up (+1) and down (-1) are used to indicate the presence and absence of infection, respectively. Disease spread and recovery proceed in the same manner as dipole spins flip in a zero-field ferromagnetic Ising model. The effect of model parameters is observed to vary with the time difference between the start of infection and the beginning of the recovery process. Unlike its original, mathematical counterpart – the SIR model, a fraction of the population remain in the susceptible state.

ABSTRACT

The organic acids have been investigated substantially in this cause of acid deposition study. The acid deposition includes both wet and dry. For the wet deposition, a total of 42 rainwater samples were collected over a period of 182 days at Chainat Meteorological Station. For the dry deposition, The air samples were collected using a 4-stage filter pack. Both, the rain and the air samples were analyzed to determine the types and concentrations of the organic acids. The study found that formic and acetic acids were predominant compounds among the carboxylic acid groups. They were accounted for 26% and 32% respectively. The study also showed a clear seasonal pattern at which the organic acid concentrations reached higher levels during the dry season than those in the wet season. This was attributed to a dilution effect of the heavy rainfall during the wet season and the accumulation of gaseous acid compounds in the atmosphere during the dry season that prolong their residence times and subsequently, in favor of the photochemical oxidation to carboxylic acids. Furthermore, the ratio of formic acids to acetic acids (F/A) is used as an indicator of the formation pathway of these organic acids. The ratio of formate/acetate in the gas phase larger than 1 indicated that the secondary formation of carboxylic acids was vital to the atmosphere in Chainat. An ion balance based on the ionic species that included the organic acids does reflect the ionic equilibrium of the wet deposition and demonstrated the validity of the results obtained.

ABSTRACT

The present study will mainly try to explore the position of a woman in our modern society, which is technologically so advanced and updated. It can be stated that technology is giving us a signal of a post human future without having the traditional limitations of time; space and quantity on the availability and openness of information and communication. But the most important point is that though our society is showing tremendous upliftment but from ancient times to the present women in most cultures has had to face lots of challenges to prove their potentialities. Not only in the real world but also within the virtual world women have been neglected from decades. If a female openly declares her sex over internet, then almost immediately she receives attention from being hit on, asked for cyber sex, or outright attacked due to random pent up frustration. Thus, the article will try to focus some issues like the above and will seek to provide the philosophical interpretation of body and how the body as well as the female body has been neglected from the earlier philosophical tradition and how the present henomenological interpretations are trying to overcome those problems. Finally, the article will try to find out a solution of the given problems by following the feminist ethics as well as the computer ethics.

SOCIAL CLASSES AND ECOTOURISM

Titiyawadee Punmanee Independent Researcher Maha Sarakham, Thailand Author for correspondence, E-mail : [email protected]

ABSTRACT

Ecotourism is an established form of alternative tourism that seeks to encourage tourists to be ‘eco-friendly’ and to act in a sustainable way on their holiday. Whilst the literature characterises ecotourists as quite middle class through education incomes, gender and culture of origin, there is a lack of research examining ecotourism and social class. This paper reviews some of the linkages through a brief examination of the history of tourism and links to social class. I then go on to discuss how the proliferation of different tourism forms (particularly ecotourism) has essentially targeted middle class consumers. The demand for ‘personal’ rather than ‘packaged’ holidays reflects holidays that try to make a difference (Butcher and Smith, 2010), although there is some scepticism in the literature regarding the long-term impact of short-stay ecotourists. The paper concludes by arguing that further research is required to bring out the ‘classed’ nature of many processes related to tourism and specifically, ecotourism.

ABSTRACT

This article was an attempt to studying postulate of goodness by presuppose that all of thing have postulate. This study found that whenever goodness is ultimate gold of human life. Logic of goodness practice is in one’s duty which was assent of goodness such as there is no postulate of goodness existence by human believing together, it’s mean that, there is no postulate in justify of good action. Justice is only justifying and justify of goodness because the justice brought equality of acting having and effecting of goodness. If human in societies must be good then they have to courageous for demand a justice and equals into justification equally because it’s postulate of goodness.

MARGINALIZATION PROCESS AND THAI POLITICAL OF THE TRANSGENDER IN CONTEMPORARY THAILAND.

Dr. Piyaluk Potiwan* *Lecturer of Political Science Program, College of Law and Government, Ratjabhat Mahasarakham University.

ABSTRACT

Thailand is the “Paradise of Homosexual” as being a heaven for sexual minorities. Many visitors to Thailand may also think that female and male homosexuals or the transgender lead happy and have normal lives in this land as well. Many transgender and many homosexual gone to Thailand and might be feel stay in Thai. They are free to be openly about sexuality without being subject to the heavy criticism. However, the opinions of many casual visitors that the sexual minorities in Thailand are free from criticism. Although, in Thailand is no legal sanctions for the sexual minorities behaviors or lifestyles. But on the contrary, the many sexual minorities feel that their lives are miserable, they are threatened by social, norm, cultural and public denunciation such as job discrimination, study, gossip and indirect interference in both of private and social space. This article has some key aspects of the processes through which sexual identities are formed in Thailand. First, I discuss identity as social and political processes intricately related to the concepts of mobility and embodiment. Then I study connections between these processes and the concepts of sexual identity and transgender political action by demonstrating how transgender have long worked to come together as a movement to engage in a complicated process of social identity formation. I show how this is particularly challenging for transgender in the face of negative social constructions in public policy. By discussing the allocation of public policy values to sexual identities in terms of Thai norms and Thai politics.

ABSTRACT

Twelve Thai native bulls and twelve crossbred Holstein bulls were used in a 2×2 factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design (CRD). Two factors were studied into oilseed source (cotton seed; CS and sunflower seed; SFS) and animal breed (Thai native and crossbred Holstein). Animals were fed a total mixed ration (TMR) ad libitum. Feed intake of crossbred Holstein bulls was higher than that of Thai native bulls (P<0.01). Intake of TMR containing CS was significantly higher than that of TMR containing SFS (P<0.01). Oilseed and breed did not influence digestion coefficients of Dry matter (DM), Organic matter (OM), Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and Acid detergent fiber (ADF) (P>0.05). However, digestibility of Crude protein (CP) and Ether extract (EE) in animal fed TMR containing SFS was significantly higher than in animal fed TMR containing CS (P<0.05). Monounsaturated fatty acid content in liver of crossbred Holstein bulls was higher than that of Thai native bulls (P<0.05). It was also found that animals fed TMR containing CS contained more saturated fatty acids in liver (P<0.01) and in Longissimus dorsi (LD) (P<0.05) compared to animals fed TMR containing SFS; therefore, sterculic acid in CS depress Δ9 desaturase activity. The significant findings in this results, using SFS and CS as fat source in beef diets did not alter digestibility. Importantly, fat source from SFS could increase polyunsaturated fatty acid and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in meat; however, using CS has increased saturated fatty acids contained in meat both Thai native bulls and crossbred Holstein bulls.

ABSTRACT

Infected tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry were collected from private fish farms, Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand in August 2012 for histopathological examination. Gross morphology of infected tilapia fry showed white spot (Ichthyopthirius multifiliis), which resembled to grains of salt over the body surface and the fish produced excessive mucous. Histopathological examination of skin revealed ciliate protozoan attached on the outer surface of epidermis and some embedded in the epidermis. The parasite also deposited among some secondary gill lamellae. Epithelial hyperplasia, aneurysm, fusion, lifting, hyaline droplet and disarray of secondary gill lamellae were also observed. In addition, capsules of myxosporean (Myxobolus spp.) spores were observed in muscular layer of the skin. From the present study, it shows that parasitic infection affected on fish skin and gill and severe infection of these two parasites may directly cause death of the fish.

The first treatment was the controlled group, the second treatment was the improved saline soil with rice husk, the third treatment was the improved saline soil with cow dung, the fourth treatment was improved saline soil with rice straw and the fifth treatment was the improve saline soil with the mixture of rice husk, cow dung, and rice straw. The experiments were conducted by chopping and filling each material into the soil plots for 60 days and then the soil samples were collected and analyzed. The parameters used in this study are soil color, soil pH, conductivity, salinity, organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium. The soil was analyzed before and after the improvement. The finding revealed that the soil plot with rice husk was suitable for the pH, conductivity, salinity, organic matter in the soil and total nitrogen. The rice husk could make soil pH close to neutral level (pH = 6.57) and made the conductivity and salinity decreased from 847 µs/cm and 8.47 dS / m to 544 µs/cm and 5.44 dS/m, respectively. It also increased soil organic matter from 0.54% to 2.09% and total nitrogen from 0.01% to 0.68%. In case of cow dung, it was suitable to improve the soil because it provided phosphorus and potassium which was useful for soil improvement and made the soil’s color darker. And the amount of phosphorus and potassium increased from 1.10 ppm, 155.72 ppm to 22.19 ppm and 714.61 ppm respectively. The comparison of the efficiency of rice husk, cow dung, rice straw and rice husk mixture of cow dung and rice straw showed that; pH, salinity, total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, all treatment are difference statistically significant at the .05 level. The treatments that were improved by cow dung and the treatment with rice straw had no conductivity differences at the .05 level.

Prof. Jea Agnes T. Buera Speech Communication and Performing Arts Division Department of Humanities College of Arts and Sciences University of the Philippines Los Baños, College Laguna, Philippines E-mail: [email protected]

ABSTRACT

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices have become increasingly important in the business world. Analyzing 371 CSR practices disclosed in the CSR reports of the selected Philippine conglomerates namely, Ayala Group of Companies, Lopez Group of Companies, Petron Corporation, Philippine Long Distance Tel., Inc., and San Miguel Corporation, the research compared the the primary stakeholders, and the extent of emphasis given on them by the conglomerates’ CSR practices by employing the Triple Botton Line (People, Planet, and Proft) to categorize each CSR activity. The Stakeholders Theory was also utilized for a more specific analysis of the primary and secondary stakeholders.It was revealed in the study that although the conglomerates consider their responsibility to the environment a serious matter through energy conservation initiatives, waste management, water responsibility, and biodiversity conservation among others, overall, it is noticeable that the conglomerates still prioritized the “People” in their CSR initiatives with 74% and only 26% for the “Planet.” The primary stakeholder among all the five conglomerates is the Community with 63%. This is followed by the Employees with 25%. The third stakeholder given priority through the CSR projects is the Consumer with only 8%. It is noticeable that the other stakeholders like the Government, NGOs, Suppliers, Shareholders, and the Media were not the main beneficiaries of the CSR. The Ayala Group of Companies’ primary stakeholder is the Community with 43% which is similar to The Lopez Group of Companies with 75%; Petron Corporation with 52%; and PLDT with 82%. Only San Miguel prioritized their Employees with 49%. The second group of people given prioritization through the CSR projects of Lopez Group of Companies and Petron Corporation is the Employees with 23% and 37% respectively. Ayala Group of Companies’ second stakeholder is the Consumer with 26% while PLDT’s second CSR beneficiaries are the NGOs 10%. San Miguel Corporation is the only one which has Community as the second stakeholder. Profit-wise, the conglomerates provided immeasurable data on the benefits of CSR. CSR demands that commercial success be gained through positive practices that aim to promote general welfare. Success, after all, is not only measured in monetary or financial terms but also the corporation’s impact on the community, on its customers and on the environment.

ABSTRACT

In many ecologically sensitive areas, tourism is a major activity that occurs without much planning or preparation. It is also understood that mass market-driven nature tourism have a negative brunt on local culture and natural environment and Community Based Ecotourism (CBET) can be an alternative in this respect. CBET is a form of ecotourism where local community has substantial control over and involvement in its development and management. With an overview of the major characteristics of CBET, this study attempts to examine the status of CBET in an ecologically sensitive tourist site of Bangladesh. It examines the attitudes of the stakeholders towards CBET and scrutinizes benefits and challenges of CBET in the study area. A field survey through a structured questionnaire was conducted on 46 villagers living in the forest site. Field survey took place in the protected area where both Bengali and ethnic minorities live. This is also complemented by observation during the field survey. Project administrators were also interviewed. Data for the study were collected from both primary and secondary sources and analyzed with descriptive statistical techniques. It is observed that CBET has notable potential in creating opportunities and benefits for the local community in the study area. It can generate income and contribute to community development and further help to generate sustainable goals of conservation and development. It is observed that some impediments related to the management and implementation of CBET hinder its smooth development. This study put forwards some strategies in these respects.

CROSS-POLLINATING UNIVERSITY KNOWLEDGE AND BUSINESS: IMPLICATIONS FOR ACADEMIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN TODAY’S TIMES

Jeanette Angeline B. Madamba Assistant Professor Department of Agribusiness Management and Entrepreneurship College of Economics and Management University of the Philippines Los Baños

ABSTRACT

In today’s globalizing and uncertain times, knowledge management has been thrust to the forefront of strategizing efforts of any organization. As such, organizations such as universities have found it important to manage research output as these institutions rationalize resource utilization, education through cross-pollination of ideas and internationalization stewardship. This paper attempts to provide an overview of academic entrepreneurship as well as review and assess the varied strategies and experiences of selected universities in Europe, the Americas and Asia which have realized that the role of academic institutions in wealth creation and economic development are no longer exogenous (imported into an institutional sphere) but endogenous (what is developed within an institutional sphere). Findings indicate that while some universities have harnessed knowledge management in building strong academe-industry partnerships, other universities are still working in this direction. Drawbacks in academic entrepreneurship point to issues relating to strategic framework setting and implementation, weak academic entrepreneurship background of technology developers and researchers and unsustained linkaging with knowledge transfer users thus implying that such issues must be addressed for sustainable academic entrepreneurship.

ABSTRACT

Linguistic diversity in the world today is an issue of growing social importance because a majority of all living languages are threatened in their continued existence. How they can be sustained is a matter of study and debate. Changes in the vitality of a language has important implications for individuals and societies. Several scholars predict that up to 90% of the world’s languages may well be replaced by dominant languages by the end of the 21st century, which would reduce the present number of almost 7,000 languages to less than 700. The purpose of this report is to attempts describe language as a cultural asset and to establish the relationship between linguistic diversity and sustainable development. However, the central focus of discussion will be on aspects related to language endangerment, language maintenance and promotion the linguistic diversity.

ACHIEVING THE GOALS OF SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES AND HUMAN SECURITY THROUGH TRANSDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE EDUCATION

Maria Ana T. Quimbo Institute for Governance and Rural Development College of Public Affairs and Development University of the Philippines Los Banos College, Laguna Philippines E-mail; [email protected] Tel; 063495360407

ABSTRACT

The creation of College of Public Affairs in 1998 was prompted “by the need to attune academic programs in the pursuit of the University of the Philippines’ mission to promote nationalism and development in the face of profound changes occurring in the global environment”. In 2007, it was renamed as the College of Public Affairs and Development (CPAf) to address newer realities and challenges confronting public affairs as an academic discipline. The new framework supports the one- faculty, one-college organizational structure which aims to promote synergy as well as more interdisciplinary, multi-disciplinary, transdisciplinary, and time-bound work. The paper presents the integrative framework that describes CPAf’s plans, innovations, and strategies in helping build sustainable communities and attain human security. It highlights the programs and services that operationalize its major functions as an academic unit. It discusses that while various colleges and schools of public affairs elsewhere look at public affairs primarily in the context of government’s role to meet societal needs, UPLB CPAf was created with the vision to provide a holistic perspective of public affairs reflective of societal concerns. All these are demonstrated through its various graduate program offerings and research and extension activities.

Ms.Prapaporn Supatraiworapong Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University (author for correspondence, e-mail : [email protected] Fax. 043742623)

ABSTRACT

The batik paintings entitled “Brilliant Colors in the Beautiful Garden,” which are intended to explore the theme of the brilliant colors in the beautiful garden, make use of realistic forms and a knowledge of the techniques associated with batik paintings to create visual elements consistent with the forms and theme. To create these batik paintings, the following creative process was utilized. First, the beauty of the colors and forms characteristic of the flowering and ornamental plants typically grown in Thai homes was studied. The artist also took into consideration the atmosphere of these gardens as well as the people, animals and objects associated with them. Then these elements were subjected to the artist’s creative reimaging, although the forms remained realistic or at least within the realms of possibility in nature. Next, a sketch was drawn on cardboard and then this sketch was traced with a pencil onto a piece of cotton cloth, which had been stretched taut over a wooden frame. Then reactive dyes were applied to the cloth. Once these were dry, a tjanting was used to apply wax to those areas of the cloth where dye was desired while the remaining dye was washed out. In the next step, forms in the pattern were filled in with dyes similar in color to those of the depicted plants and objects found in nature. When the dyes were dry, the cloth was pressed with an iron to absorb the wax. The study revealed that to obtain visual elements consistent with the chosen forms and theme, the application of one or two layers of wax as a means of preserving the weight of the colors was effective in producing visual elements that gracefully blended the outlines of the forms and the weight of the colors within those forms. The application of reactive dyes in the manner of wet on wet, wet on damp, damp on wet, wet on dry, dry on wet, and dry on damp resulted in visual elements which successfully created the depth and weight of colors, giving the paintings a natural, lifelike appearance with a luscious, delicate and translucent quality resembling watercolors. In addition, the use of tjanting tools in applying the wax to define the forms, nature of the lines and the surface resulted in visual elements--namely forms, lines, and surfaces-- with the desired realistic quality. Although the lines of wax separating the different colors could not be less than two millimeters in width, which represented some restriction to the work, all of the paintings could convey the beautiful and brilliant colors, forms, and atmosphere of the actual, typical Thai garden. In so doing, the paintings evoke the feelings of pleasure, relaxation, happiness and peace which was the aim of these works and the theme explored.
