The analysis of its gut content revealed the presence of 62 genera of planktonic life forms along with other animal matters. The organization of the alimentary tract and maximum Relative Mean Length of Gut (0.511±0.029 mm) indicated its carnivorous food habit. The peak gastro-somatic index (GSI) in winter-spring seasons and summer-rainy seasons indicated alteration of its feeding intensity. Furthermore, higher diet breadth on resource use (Levins’ and Hurlbert’s) with zooplankton compared to phytoplankton and Keywords: total plankton confirmed its zooplanktivore habit. The feeding strategy Diet breadth plots also suggested greater preference to zooplankton compared to Feeding strategy phytoplankton. The organization of its gill rakers specified a secondary Pachypterus atherinoides modification of gut towards either carnivory or specialized zooplanktivory.

  • A Study of Risk Factors Leading to Road Accidents: Chachoengsao Province, Thailand
    Catalyst ISSN 2408-137X, Volume 18, 2018 A Study of Risk Factors Leading to Road Accidents: Chachoengsao Province, Thailand Thanasak Kulchamorin and Danai Pattaphongse Abstract The objectives of this research were to study: 1) personal factors of automobile drivers in Chachoengsao Province, Thailand in the target population; 2) their driving behavior; 3) risk factors influencing the chance of having an accident; 4) measures used to avoid or reduce the impact of an accident; and 5) their attitudes towards both controllable and uncontrollable driving risks based upon their personal factors. The sample consisted of 400 drivers; statistics used included both descriptive and inferential statistics. The majority of respondents were female, married, 36-40 years of age, bachelor degree graduates, and worked for private enterprises. They had non-permanent driver licenses in their possession for 3-5 years and had 10-20 years driving experience. Their overall attitudes towards controllable risk factors showed high scores on a given rating scale. Among controllable risk factors influencing the chance of having an accident, in descending order of magnitude, were violation of a traffic light, violation of a speed limit, texting while driving, and no signal given to other drivers. Uncontrollable risk factors influencing the chance of having an accident, in descending order of magnitude, were drunk driving, driving on damaged roads, driving when the rate of traffic is high, and driving on narrow roads. Keywords: Risk factors, road accidents Introduction Sivak and Schoettle (2014) studied mortality from road crashes in 193 countries, and found that Thailand ranked #2 in the world in terms of the number of people killed (44 deaths per 100,000 persons) in road accidents after Namibia (45 deaths per 100,000 persons).

  • Industrial Dispersion in Thailand with Changes in Trade Policies
    International Journal of Asian Social Science, 2014, 4(7): 806-819 International Journal of Asian Social Science ISSN(e): 2224-4441/ISSN(p): 2226-5139 journal homepage: http://www.aessweb.com/journals/5007 INDUSTRIAL DISPERSION IN THAILAND WITH CHANGES IN TRADE POLICIES Kenji Nozaki Faculty of Economics and Management, Surugadai University, Hanno-City, Saitama, Japan ABSTRACT Thailand, which is an industrial core of the GMS, hosts various industries. An understanding of current location of industry in Thailand is important in planning the future industrial network. In particular, as economic linkage within the GMS is becoming stronger, changes of industrial location with trade liberalization are an important correlation. Krugman and Elizondo (1996) provided a theoretical model for this relation. The present author conducted an empirical survey to determine whether industrial location in Thailand conforms to the Krugman and Elizondo’s model. This empirical study uses data on manufacturing of gross provincial product. The proportion of manufacturing within each province, and the Herfindahl index deriving from the proportion, were used. The result is that industrial location of Thailand conforms to Krugman and Elizondo’s model. During the period of import substitution, Bangkok grew to a large metropolis and gradually expanded into neighboring provinces, with escalating congestion costs. After an export oriented policy was implemented, the industries started to disperse, and some provinces became new industrial cores, with ports. In considering the extension of industries to neighboring countries, it appears that promoted investment projects, which could be leading indicators of future production, do not guarantee an increase of production in border provinces, at least in the middle term.
