The data collection tool used in this research was a structured questionnaire. Its purpose was to allow members of rice farming group and local citizens who were aware of the work of the group leader to evaluate the leader in terms of leadership characteristics and behaviors. Questionnaires were analyzed, with responses arranged into 5 levels according to Likert scale, and behaviors were analyzed according to Blake and Mouton’s Managerial Grid. Results found that, 1) overall leadership characteristics were at a high level ( = 4.13) with the average highest leadership characteristics being the ability to perform tasks ( = 4.30). Physical characteristics came next ( = 4.24), followed풙� by personality characteristics ( = 4.17). An examination of the characteristics showed that풙� the rice farming group leaders possess good풙� human relations skills, with strong effort and풙� patience at the highest level ( = 4.50), and 2) analysis of leader behaviors found that the leaders of the rice farming groups had an average task-oriented behavior score of 5.93, and풙� an averaged relationship- oriented behavior score of 7.47. When comparing these scores with the Blake and Mouton’s Managerial Grid, leaders of rice farming groups have behaviors that emphasized teamwork (6,8).

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.

  • Smoking Behaviour and Associated Factors of Illicit Cigarette Consumption in a Border Province of Southern Thailand
    Smoking Behaviour and Associated Factors of Illicit Cigarette Consumption in a Border Province of Southern Thailand Chittawet Ketchoo A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Epidemiology Prince of Songkla University 2011 Copyright of Prince of Songkla University i ii iii iv Thesis Title Smoking Behaviour and associated factors of illicit cigarette consumption in a border province of southern Thailand Author Mr.Chittawet Ketchoo Major Programme Epidemiology Academic year 2010-2011 ____________________________________________________________ Abstract Background: Consumption of illicit cigarettes poses a serious threat to public health as well as being a source of huge losses in government revenues. It brings tobacco onto the market cheaply, making cigarettes more affordable and thus stimulating consumption, especially among the youth group, consequently increasing the burden of ill-health. Illicit cigarette sabotages national tobacco taxation and tobacco control strategies and has become a major concern for governments and international organizations. Therefore, it is important to understand this problem thoroughly in order to reduce it. The high magnitude of illicit cigarette trade in southern Thailand offers an opportunity to examine the situation of illicit cigarette consumption. Objectives: To investigate behaviours and factors associated with illicit cigarette consumption in southern Thailand. Methodology: A survey and qualitative study were conducted in a border province in southern Thailand next to Malaysia. A modified snowballing technique was used to recruit 300 illicit and 150 non-illicit cigarette smokers. A structured questionnaire v was used to interview subjects. Smoking behaviours and associated factors with illicit cigarette consumption were analysed by complex survey regression adjusted for a cluster of samples identified by each recruiter.

Doctor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering), Major Field: Environmental Engineering, Department of Environmental Engineering. Thesis Advisor: Associate Professor Winai Liengcharernsit, D.Eng. 165 pages. In the past few decades, rapid population growth in Thailand has resulted in excess utilization of natural resources and degradation of environmental quality. Deforestation in sloping areas for agricultural and residential purposes has resulted in soil erosion from deforested areas with subsequent sediment transport and deposition in receiving water bodies. In order to evaluate the severity of this problem, a mathematical model is developed to simulate sediment transport phenomena in a receiving water body. In model development, total sediment transport is classified as bedload transport and suspended load transport, which result in two interrelated transport models. Three-dimensional mass balance equation is used as a basic governing equation for the suspended load transport model, whereas two-dimensional mass balance equation is used as a basic governing equation for the bedload transport model.

This is the Trans Thai-Malaysia project (TTM), an internationally-financed natural gas development scheme. Built to bring gas from offshore fields in the Gulf of Thailand to a separation plant from which it can be distributed to the region, the project is set to form the nucleus of further huge industrial installations, including electricity generating plants and petrochemical factories. In the view of the local rural villagers who have been battling the project for a decade, however, the project has brought only problems: destruction of local livelihoods, despoliation of local land, water and forests, and threats to community and religion.
