Pipat Soisook ([email protected]) Received: 30 March 2021; Accepted: 24 June 2021 ABSTRACT.– The Nycteribiidae and Streblidae are known as two families of obligate blood sucking ectoparasites of bats. Recent data on nycteribiid and streblid bat flies collected from 15 provinces in Thailand during 2018–2020 are hereby presented with data from previous studies. This study recorded 26 species belonging to nine genera of Nycteribiidae and Streblidae known to be associated with 44 host bats species. Thirteen species of which, 11 nycteribiids and two streblids, are herein recorded from Thailand for the first time. Altogether with previously reported records, this paper lists a total of 59 known bat flies, 43 nycteribiids and 16 streblids, with their 63 associated host bat species.

For example, Despite bats have been extensively dengue virus was detected simultaneously in surveyed by several biologists in Southeast streblid bat flies which were collected from Asia and clearly considered one of the Desmodus rotundus (E.

Globally, studies have been published. Azhar et al. these bat ectoparasitic flies reported to (2015) reported 15 species of bat flies were account more than 515 species (276 of recorded from 24 species of hosts from Nycteribiidae and 239 of Streblidae) Malaysia. In the Philippines, there are reports (Graciolli and Dick, 2018; Dick and of bat ectoparasites from Mount Makiling, Graciolli, 2013). These two families, the Luzon Island (Alvarez et al., 2015), Mindoro tiny-sized members of the superfamily Island (Alvarez et al., 2016), Marinduque Hippoboscoidea, can be distinguished from Island (Amarga et al., 2017), and most recently each other by the possess of a spider-like from Romblon Province (Amarga et al., 2020).

Biodiversity Data Journal 2: e1019. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.2.e1019 Abstract The flora of Tropical Asia is among the richest in the world, yet the actual diversity is estimated to be much higher than previously reported. Myanmar and Thailand are adjacent countries that together occupy more than the half the area of continental Tropical Asia. This geographic area is diverse ecologically, ranging from cool-temperate to tropical climates, and includes from coast, rainforests and high mountain elevations. An updated checklist of aquatic plants, which includes 78 species in 44 genera from 24 families, are presented based on floristic works. This number includes seven species, that have never been listed in the previous floras and checklists. The species (excluding non-indigenous taxa) were categorized by five geographic groups with the exception of to reflect the rich diversity of the countries' floras.

  • Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach a Case of Thailand
    Tc.urism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Lincoln University By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing Lincoln University 2004 Abstract of a thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing This thesis argues that while analysing markets and developing strategies to exploit the external market place and to attract tourists remains a central focus for tourism marketers, it is not enough on its own to achieve sustainable tourism destination development. The researcher substantiates this argument by exploring the 'participatory tourism planning' concept in detail. Based on this approach, the community is identified as a primary customer for whom tourism marketers have ignored involving in their marketing attention, messages and programmes. The fundamental concept - marketing orientation and customer orientation - combined with emerging marketing theories were reviewed.in order to help examine how destination marketing, a community-driven approach, should be implemented within a destination area. This examination of marketing and community based tourism planning set a platform for this research. This analysis examines relevance, applicability and potential for an integration of these two pervasive approaches for tourism planning. ii Guided by the theoretical examination, an integrated community-based tourism planning and marketing model was proposed. In order to explore gaps between the proposed model and its practicality, three destination areas (Phuket, Samui and Songkla-Hatyai) in Thailand were studied and evaluated.

  • Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization
    Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization Effective Integrated Pre-hospital Emergency Care System Abstract The unpleasant world championship, According to the World Atlas website, about the country with the highest road deaths in the world in 2017, Thailand has moved up to the top of the world. It was found that the death rate was 36.2 cases per 100,000 populations. While government policies have been set up to prevent road accidents, including accident relief measures. The emphasis is on the preparation of the emergency medical service system so that people can access the emergency medical system thoroughly, equally and with standard quality. Therefore, they have set up a notification and dispatch center in every province, using the number 1669 as the emergency notification and emergency number to assist emergency patients in a timely manner. Ther centers will be set up with the hospital in each province. Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization has created an innovative approach to integrating the new dimension of work in order to help people with illnesses and emergency situations thoroughly and effectively. It was set up as a public service by the local government based on authority and mission that was effectively transferred. This serves the needs of people in all areas, enhances people's quality of life and reduces the rate of loss of life and disability of people in the area. We hope that this innovation will be useful for the development of emergency medical systems for local governments in all areas. More importantly, we would like to thank all the working groups and networking parties involved in driving this innovation.

Methods: This study was a cross-sectional design. The targeted population was ARI aged between 50-70 years old. Two areas, in Songkhla province, were randomly selected. Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and colonoscopy were used as screence and diagnostic tests. In Hat Yai, participant received one iFOB test and colonoscopy was indicated for those with a positive FIT. In Na Mom, 1-3 iFOB were provided to each individual and colonoscopy was indicated for the participant with double FIT positive. The study proposal was approved by the Hatyai Hospital Ethical Committee (ID 11 (25/03/2015)) and proper treatments were provided to all CRC suspected case. Results: In Hat Yai, 883 participants were recruited and FIT positive was 274 (31.03%) whereas 94 (34.31%) received colonoscopy. We found that 8 (9.06%), 1(1.13%), and 2 (2.27%) were small adenoma, advanced adenoma, and colon cancer.

Examples of the ongoing studies show how biophysical factors interact with socio-economic ones to determine the risks faced by farmers, and the possible coping strategies. The shortage of manpower and low rubber price could be answered by Low Intensity Tapping Systems (LITS) increasing the return to labour and by diversification, such as agroforestry. It is difficult to reduce tapping frequencies because farms are small and hired tappers are paid by crop-sharing. Contracts would have to be renegotiated and tappers work for several farmers. Moreover access to other sources of income could be limited.
