  • The Nyo Language Spoken at Kut Kho Kan Village (Loeng Nok Tha District, Yasothon Province): a Language Documentation Research at Roi Et Rajabhat University

Among the Nyo speakers of Kut Kho Kan village who contributed to this research were two students of Roi Et Rajabhat University, still aware of the use of a distinct dialect in their native place. They helped the researcher reach Nyo speakers as well as speakers of other Tai dialects in a micro-linguistic area comprising districts belonging to three provinces (Mukdahan, Yasothon, and Amnat Charoen) of Northeast Thailand, where specific varieties of Tai languages (Southwestern branch) such as Phu Thai are also spoken. Further studies should thus include the documentation of those varieties, especially those of Phu Thai. Nyo as well as Phu Thai are language names as well as ethnonyms which can be found not only in Thailand, but also in neighboring countries such as Laos and Vietnam. Keywords: Language documentation, Nyo language, Phu Thai language, Tonal patterns, Micro-linguistic areas.

  • A Statistical Method for Estimating Under-Reported Incidence Rates with Application to Child Diarrhea in Thai Provinces Bordering Cambodia
    A STATISTICAL METHOD FOR UNDER-REPORTED CHILD DIARRHEA A STATISTICAL METHOD FOR ESTIMATING UNDER-REPORTED INCIDENCE RATES WITH APPLICATION TO CHILD DIARRHEA IN THAI PROVINCES BORDERING CAMBODIA Sulawan Yotthanoo1 and Chamnein Choonpradub2 1Department of Statistics, School of Science and Technology, Naresuan University, Phayao; 2Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Faculty of Science and Technology, Prince of Songkla University, Pattani Campus, Pattani, Thailand Abstract. Diarrhea is a major health problem in Thailand, but reported data of disease incidence are known or suspected to be under-reported. This study aimed to develop a statistical model for estimating the annual incidence of hospital diarrhea cases among children under five years. Data regarding diarrhea patients 0-4 years old were col- lected for the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance (Report 506) about Thai prov- inces bordering Cambodia during 1999-2004 by the Ministry of Public Health. A log- linear regression model based on the prevailing seasonal-trend pattern was used for diarrhea incidence as a function of quarter, year and district, after imputing rates where under-reporting was evident, using populations obtained from the 2000 population census. The model also takes any spatial correlation between districts into account, using the generalized estimating equation (GEE) method. Diarrhea incidence had sea- sonal peaks in the first quarter (January to March) and the trend steadily increased from 1999 to 2004. Results from such studies can help health authorities develop pre- vention policies. Key words: child diarrhea, statistical model, BEE method, linear regression INTRODUCTION third of all deaths in this age group are as- sociated with diarrhea. Approximately 1.5 Diarrhea is one of the world’s top five billion diarrhea episodes and 4 million infectious disease causes of death (Brownlie deaths occur annually among children age et al, 2006) and remains a major cause of less than five years (Vargas et al, 2004).
