  • Surveillance of Imported Bancroftian Filariasis After Two-Year Multiple-Dose Diethylcarbamazine Treatment
    SOUTHEAST ASIAN J TROP MED PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEILLANCE OF IMPORTED BANCROFTIAN FILARIASIS AFTER TWO-YEAR MULTIPLE-DOSE DIETHYLCARBAMAZINE TREATMENT Surachart Koyadun1 and Adisak Bhumiratana2 1Office of Disease Prevention and Control 11 (Nakhon Si Thammarat), Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health, Nakhon Si Thammarat; 2Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Public Health, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand Abstract. Myanmar migrants are at increased risk for nocturnally periodic Wuchereria bancrofti causing imported bancroftian filariasis. They have a significant influence on the effectiveness of diethylcar- bamazine (DEC) mass treatment at the provincial level in the National Program to Eliminate Lym- phatic Filariasis (PELF) during the fiscal years (FY) 2002-2006, in Thailand. Two oral doses of DEC 6 mg/kg are given twice a year to the eligible Myanmar migrants (≥2 years old). A 300 mg DEC provo- cation test is given once a year to all Myanmar migrants with work permits. Effectiveness evaluation parameters, such as cumulative index (CI) and the effectiveness ratio (ER), were obtained after 2 years of the multiple-dose DEC treatment program in Ranong Province, Southern Thailand. By cross- sectional night blood surveys at the end of FY 2003 in two districts of Ranong Province, the microfi- larial positive rates (MPR) were 0.8% and 1.2% for Mueang Ranong and Kra Buri, respectively. The MPR in the agricultural (1.5%) and industrial (0.4%) occupations were not significantly different from each other. Our findings suggest that most untreated microfilaremics working in agriculture, with short-term residency in Thailand, may have delayed multiple-dose DEC treatment.

  • Remote Sensing for Mangrove Landscape Pattern Identification on the Coast of Ranong, Thailand
    Kasetsart J. (Nat. Sci.) 47 : 182 - 190 (2013) Remote Sensing for Mangrove Landscape Pattern Identification on the Coast of Ranong, Thailand Puvadol Doydee1 and Monton Anongponyoskun2,* ABSTRACT The mangrove landscape in the Ranong coastal ecosystem provides habitat and niches for many aquatic animals. It also plays an important role in shoreline protection and serves as a livelihood source for millions of people. This study was conducted to identify and determine the pattern of mangrove patches and their species by using remotely sensed data and field methods, respectively. The point- centered quarter method was used for mangrove vegetation inventory. The results revealed that Mueng district had the highest number of mangrove patches. The smallest number of patches was identified in Kra Buri district. Most of the patches were clumped and elongated with a medium or large size. In total, 19 mangrove species were identified with 7 dominant species—namely, Avicennia marina, A. officinalis, Bruguiera parviflora, Ceriops decandra, C. tagal, Rhizophora apiculata and R. mucronata. The results provide useful information for mangrove habitat restoration and coastal landscape planning in Ranong province. The dominant species of mangrove found in the area could be promoted for mangrove rehabilitation. Keywords: remote sensing mangrove landscape, coastal ecosystem, Ranong INTRODUCTION Buot, 2010).

  • The Gffn 100 2018: Ten to Watch
    GFFN 100 2018 THE GFFN 100: AN INTRODUCTION Welcome to another edition of the Get French Football News 100. Published at the end of ev- ery year by GFFN, the guide you are reading is as detailed and comprehensive a set of player profiles as one is likely to find, especially in English. Some of these players are well-known, even to the casual fan, and though they have been the subjects of countless profiles, we hope that you can gain a bit more depth in knowledge of their stories. This is especially true with the likes of Neymar and his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappé. In 2018, neither was ever far from the limelight in a year in which France won the World Cup, thanks in large part to the teen- age sensation. Neymar may have garnered the odd headline for less positive reasons, but both remain as compelling off the pitch as they do on it. It is thus no surprise to see Mbappé top the rankings again; it does not take much objectivity to realise his immense talent and potential, but the present document is much more than a narra- tive driven by celebrity. We have watched the matches that do not generate headlines, seen the teams that are rarely on television, especially internationally, and artfully blended statistical anal- ysis with old-fashioned scouting to create what we feel is a definitive guide to the professionals currently plying their trade in France. If some rankings seem high, or low, read the profiles before making a snap decision as to our choices; this is a meritocracy.

The cave was made known because it was mentioned in a legend related to the first ruler of Kra (Kra Buri), Phra Kaeo Korop, whose former name was Nai Kaeo Thanabat. The legend goes that a Nakhon Si Thammarat resident Nai Kaeo had caught a magnificant gold-color hawksbill sea turtle. He offered this rare creature to the Chumphon ruler, who then presented it to a late Ayutthaya king. For this good deed, Nai Kaeo was awarded an important post of Ranong ruler. The 2017 traditional Thum Phra Khayang Fair took place on January 27-29. The main features were three. First, it was about the legend of the Mueang Kra ruler Phra Kaeo Korop. But this year they did not hold a parade, usually organized by the Tambon Nam Jued Municipality. Instead, the Tambon Lam Liang Administration Organization initiated a big rite of paying homage to the first ruler, at the Po Ta Luang Kaeo Monument. Second, they emphasized the ecotourism promotion of the cave and its mangrove natural trail. The third emphasis was on the preservation of the local manorah stage performance.

  • A Review of the Emiliano Sala Decision
    Sports Law/ Dispute Resolution 17th February 2020 Olukolade Ehinmosan1 A REVIEW OF THE EMILIANO SALA DECISION Background The January 2019 Summer Transfer Window was an exciting beehive of European football transfer activity. Arguably the most notable transfer of the Window, FC Nantes Centre Forward Emiliano Raul Sala sealed his move to then English Premier League outfit, Cardiff City. Sala expressed elation and even dubbed the transfer a “dream move.”2 The atmosphere soon became sour with the tragic demise of Sala in a devastating plane crash while travelling from France to team up with his new club, Cardiff City FC. Within a few days of the incident, searches and investigations ensued, including an investigation by the Air Accidents Investigations Branch (AAIB), as the plane had gone missing. On its part, FC Nantes lodged a complaint against Cardiff City before the FIFA Bureau of the Players’ Status Committee (PSC). The complaint ripened into a full-blown dispute which we have endeavoured to review below. FC Nantes, France vs. Cardiff City FC, Wales The Bureau comprising a four-man panel sat and passed a decision in Zurich, Switzerland on 25 September 2019.3 1 Olukolade Ehinmosan, Associate Dispute Resolution Department, SPA Ajibade & Co., Lagos, NIGERIA. 2 See <https://www.sportbible.com/football/news-sala-was-just-about-to-fulfill-his-dream-of-playing- in-the-prem-20190123> accessed February 11, 2020 at 9:28 am. 3 See <https://resources.fifa.com/image/upload/player-emiliano- sala.pdf?cloudid=zz1mucunt6ydvrzqrqdw> accessed February 11, 2020 at 9:28 am.
