Annals of the Romanian Society for Cell Biology PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION (2021) 58(4), ISSN 1553 - 6939 Article Received: 22th November,2020; Article Revised: 26th March, 2021; Article Accepted: 26th April, 2021 The deciding factors in market purchases during the spread of the COVID-19 virus Sup Amornpinyo1 1 Faculty of Interdisciplinary, Khon Kaen University, Nong Khai Campus, Thailand Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The current COVID-19 pandemic has caused many problems to people. For example, the cost of living becomes higher while the income does not increase. People are unemployed or have been reduced working hours. The consumer products have higher prices causing people with low income cannot afford enough resources for their daily expenditures. As a result, most consumers have to change their consumption behaviors. From those who used to buy products based on the credibility of the brand in the department store, they adapt to shopping in the community, stores located near their houses, or flea markets to reduce the cost of products and travel. They buy products with the focus on making the most use and worthiness. This research examines the causal factors that affect purchasing decisions of consumers who shopped at the Flea Markets in Nong Khai. Six hundred consumers who shopped at a flea market answered a questionnaire and were included in the sample of the current study. The purpose of this research is 1) to examine the causal relationships between a marketing mix and consumer behaviors that affect the decision to purchase in the flea market. 2) to examines the conformity of empirical data using Confirmatory Factors Analysis (CFA) on each factor and examines construct validity using Statistic Program. In this research, the population surveyed in Nong Khai Province was 600 people in the age of over 15 years in the flea market area of Nong Khai Province. Multi Stage Sampling was done consisting of the form with the defined quota, defined district size and market size and the random-size form by drawing lots. The sample groups consisted of Muang District, Tha Bo District, Phon Phisai District, and Si Chiang Mai District, respectively, based on the size of the districts from big to small. The questionnaires were used as research tools. Examination of the causal relationship between the marketing mix and consumer behavior affecting their decisions to purchase in the flea market was done. It was found it that the distribution factor affected decisions to purchase in this flea market at =0.01. The product factor affected decisions to purchase in this flea market at =0.05. Price and promotional factor influence on decisions to purchase were not statistically significant. The findings also show that the distribution factor in terms of convenience and safety has the greatest factor weight such as entrance- exit determination and screening, wearing mask all the time, keeping a distance of at least 1 meter between persons, having adequate soap and water or hand sanitizer available, having market clean daily especially the bathroom, zoning the sales of products, classification for fresh food, ready-made food, determining the number of people, duration, and not organizing activities that cause the gathering of service users, etc. Keywords purchasing decision, consumer behavior, flea market, marketing mix Introduction Fruit and vegetable markets were significantly impacted by the spread of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (and Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the world’s COVID-19 disease) (Richards, T.

  • Buddhism, Power and Political Order
    BUDDHISM, POWER AND POLITICAL ORDER Weber’s claim that Buddhism is an otherworldly religion is only partially true. Early sources indicate that the Buddha was sometimes diverted from supra- mundane interests to dwell on a variety of politically related matters. The significance of Asoka Maurya as a paradigm for later traditions of Buddhist kingship is also well attested. However, there has been little scholarly effort to integrate findings on the extent to which Buddhism interacted with the polit- ical order in the classical and modern states of Theravada Asia into a wider, comparative study. This volume brings together the brightest minds in the study of Buddhism in Southeast Asia. Their contributions create a more coherent account of the relations between Buddhism and political order in the late pre-modern and modern period by questioning the contested relationship between monastic and secular power. In doing so, they expand the very nature of what is known as the ‘Theravada’. This book offers new insights for scholars of Buddhism, and it will stimulate new debates. Ian Harris is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Cumbria, Lancaster, and was Senior Scholar at the Becket Institute, St Hugh’s College, University of Oxford, from 2001 to 2004. He is co-founder of the UK Association for Buddhist Studies and has written widely on aspects of Buddhist ethics. His most recent book is Cambodian Buddhism: History and Practice (2005), and he is currently responsible for a research project on Buddhism and Cambodian Communism at the Documentation Center of Cambodia [DC-Cam], Phnom Penh.

As a result, the number of oil palm plantations in the Northeast region has been growing, particularly in Nong Khai province. Nong Khai is a relatively remote, predominantly agricultural area and is the field site for this research. However, oil palm production is a complex and hotly contested issue both globally and in Thailand and it has ardent critics and supporters. For example, expanding oil palm production could, on the one hand, contribute to deforestation and a range of social problems that threaten traditional livelihoods, whilst on the other hand it could offer a source of renewable energy, alleviate poverty, and lead to a higher standard of living for farmers.

With the loss of my great mentor, I struggled to overcome the emptiness of my heart and to find new sources of the inspiration and sharpness he used to provide. The final stages of my writing were filled with regret that I lost him too early before I could appreciate him both as a friend and an intellectual peer. His absence made me realize what a great teacher he was to me and how well I was taken care of by him. I dedicate this thesis to him. Through this sorrowful period, many people stood behind me, shared my sadness and encouraged me to carry on my work. Above all, I am deeply grateful to Saroja Dorairajoo for taking over the supervisory role and wonderfully guiding my study in the remaining period. I am very thankful to Hing Ai Yun for her dedicated care throughout my years at NUS and particularly at the final stage. I also thank the other two members of my thesis committee. Carl Grundy-Warr shared my grief at losing his good friend and was a great help towards the completion of this thesis.
