INTRODUCTION 1) to study the behavior of Nakhon Phanom University students in using information In our world today many changes are technology to study, 2) to examine the occurring rapidly, regardless if it is in the field Nakhon Phanom University students' of education, the economy, or society, but ability and potential for using information especially in the field of information technology. The entire reliability value was technology. Presently it can be plainly 0.96 and the discrimination index was observed that these technologies are becoming between 0.49-0.80. The results disclosed as profoundly advanced, and is part of what follows: 1) most students owned laptops makes the lives of people today more (75%), followed by the smartphone (58%), comfortable. It allows people to communicate as well as the University students keep up with each other easier and quicker. From past with the newest technology. This is becomes to present it has evolved to what presently is evident when examining the student's referred to as the information age. Media length of ownership of the various devices, technology has developed rapidly especially in which is not more than three years. It using devices such as the cell phone, portable becomes obvious that students buy new computer, digital cameras, and etc. These devices all the time and the majority of devices provide convenience to the user as students use these devices in learning (over they can carry them to use wherever and 86%). The study also found that teachers whenever it is considered necessary for daily use laptops and projectors the most in their life. However, information technology and classroom (>70%). The communication media channels can also be employed in the channel that the university provided such as field of study as useful tools creating the online learning system, was not used as educational opportunities and enhancing much as the social media channel (only education. Technology in the classroom is now 20%). 2) The students essential Software becoming an important part of establishing a skills for learning were in the middle while balanced education that will make for an social media skills were very high. effective participation in the modern world. Therefore, the results showed the majority Integrating technology into education is of students lacked basic knowledge in using essential in a world that relies on searching for introductory information technology that information and communication quickly. supports learning.

However, one of the drawbacks is the time it takes to print. Additionally, the smartphone's keyboard is still inconvenient in comparison with using the laptop keyboard. However, one important observation that makes the smartphone popular is the relatively inexpensive price. Students can afford it [4]. Fig 1. ICT Devices that Student Own Fig. 1, shows that the majority of students own laptops at 75% followed by the smartphone. It can be seen that both small, portable devices are the most popular among students. They can be used in research and Fig 3. Period of Time Owing an ICT Device learning.

It is apparent that the majority of devices the students have are only slightly over 3 years old. This shows that students always pursue modern ICT devices which can be recognized from the age of usage. No device is used over 5 years, especially the tablet and smartphone. It can be seen that none of these two devices even reached 3 years of age. This is a small number of years showing Thai youths regularly pursue the latest technology. In the following questions, we Fig 2. Students Use of ICT in Learning will see if students use this technology to improve learning. From fig. 2, it can be ascertained that students use laptops (91%) in the classroom the most followed by the smartphone (86%). This information harmonizes with figure 1. It can be discerned that the students view these aforementioned devices as conveniently compact useful in studying, therefore were very popular devices among sample students from the Nakhon Phanom University. Followed by the use of Windows Tablet (75%) and Ipad and Android tablet (74%). It is apparent that the smartphone of today is technology that immensely meets the needs of Fig 4.

    Surachai Chaniang et al. Perceptions of Adolescents, Teachers and Parents towards Causes and Prevention of Suicide in Secondary School Students in Chiang Mai Surachai Chaniang*, Warunee Fongkaew, Hunsa Sethabouppha, Sumalee Lirtmunlikaporn, Karen G. Schepp Abstract: Adolescent suicide has become a major public health concern worldwide, including in Thailand. This qualitative descriptive study explored the perceptions of adolescents, teachers and parents towards causes and prevention of suicide in secondary school students in Chiang Mai. Purposive sampling was used to select 40 adolescents for focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews were conducted with 4 parents and 3 school teachers, from October 2014 to February 2015. The data were analyzed using content analysis. The categories of this study were two-fold: 1) the causes of adolescent suicide which could be summarized into four sub-categories, namely parents' expectations, lack of skills to confront problems, feeling lonely from inadequate support, and lack of parental skills, and 2) Prevention of adolescent suicide, which had four sub-categories, namely cultivating self-esteem, parental support and caring, peer support, and supportive school environments. The findings of this study could help as evidence for developing a suicide prevention program for Thai secondary school students and should help parents, teachers and school nurses to understand the emotional needs of adolescents better.

The objective of this study was to identify Thapariella anastomusa metacercariae in snails in Thailand based on morphological traits using a light (LM) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A total of 94 Filopaludina snails were collected and identified as 50 F. martensi mar- tensi and 44 F. doliaris. Metacercariae of T. anastomusa were recovered from the snails by the crushing method. The overall prevalence was 22.3% (21/94), and the mean intensity was 17.0 per snail. The prevalence in F. martensi martensi was 24.0% (12/50) and F. doliaris 20.5% (9/44) with the mean intensity of 18.8 and 14.8 per snail, respectively. SEM re- vealed traits such as a concave ventral body and well-developed oral and ventral suckers. This study represents the first report of T. anastomusa in South East Asia. While LM and SEM observations provide novel insights into T.

So, many researchers dedicate their time studying the language (Intawong, 2016 and Klinnamhom, 2008) In Thai educational culture, the metaphor is perceived as the subject that can promote the way people live and learn, so this inspires the researcher to look at its proportion and how it is used. Ultimately, the retrieved metaphor is used for developing the subject materials in the school lecture. In order to achieve these purposes, the theory of Lakoff and Johnson (1980) was employed as the basic consideration of the language and implemented to the 4 sections in the Bangkok Post newspaper.
