And the incidence of the disease is about 2.5-5: 1000 people per year (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 1995, cited in Kankook Sirisathien, 2007). The number of outpatients receiving services from mental health services increased from 1,022,504 in 2009 to 1,055,548 and 1,0912,646 in FY 2010 and 2011, respectively. (Department of Mental Health, 2011). It can be seen that the rate of mental illness is likely to increase. And still a major public health problem. The loss of the economy and resources of the country, while the number of personnel involved, such as psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses and other personnel. There are insufficient resources to drive care for schizophrenic patients at home (Suchitra Nampai, 2005). Schizophrenia is a disorder characterized by emotional, behavioral and perceptual symptoms. The two groups are characterized by positive and negative symptoms. The disease progresses chronically and severely. There are 3 stages. Prodominal phase, active phase, and residual phase (Mannos, Laytrakul, and Pramote Suksanit, 2005). The schizophrenia often not cured. Patients will have chronic disease.

  • The Phonological of Patani Malay Dialect: an Analysis of Autosegmental Theory
    Indonesian Journal of Education, Social Sciences and Research (IJESSR) Vol. 1, No. 2, September 2020, pp. 71~78 ISSN: 2723-3693 r 71 The Phonological of Patani Malay Dialect: An Analysis Of Autosegmental Theory Dr. Suraiya Chapakiya1 1Department of Teaching Malay And Educational Technology, Faculty of Education, Fatoni University, Thailand. ABSTRACT This paper aims at identifying and determining Malay dialect phonemes and the syllable structure of Patani Malay Dialect (PMD). The study is also conducted to analyze the phonological processes of PMD. The researcher used the autosegmental theory based on distinctive feature geometry model by Halle (1995), Clément’s representation level of syllable structure (1985) and, Zaharani and Teoh Boon Seongs’ building of syllable structure (2006). A Qualitative method was used in this study. The data were collected from the field work where observations and interviewing were carried out. The results show that the PMD can be divided into three vowel phoneme categories. The first vowel phoneme category consists of six vowel phonemes. They are /i/, /e/, /a/, /«/, /o/, /u/. The second vowel phoneme category has two derived vowel phonemes such as [E], [] and the last vowel phoneme category consists of four nasalization vowels such as [u)], [E)], [)] dan [a)]. The study also found that PMD has 28 consonants. They can be grouped into three consonant categories. The first consonant category consists of 20 original consonants such as /p/, /t/, /k/, /b/, /d/, /g/, /c&/, /j&/, /s/, /l/, /r/, /Ä/, /m/, /n/, /N/, /ø/, /w/, /j/, /h/, ///. The second consonant category has four aspiration consonants such as /ph/, /th/, /kh/, /ch/.

  • Psychological Status of Orphans from the Unrest in the Three Southern
    IJCAS:Book of Review Vol. 2, Number 1 June 2015 Video Art: Psychological Status of Orphans from the Unrest in the Three Southern Thai Province I-na Phuyuthanon Department Visual art, Faculty of Fine arts Srinakharinwirot University Sukhumvit 23, Wattana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The greatest loss caused by the insurgency in Narathiwat province which is in the south of Thailand is the lives of the orphans whose parents or beloved ones have been deprived among conflicts and violence. Even though the affected people have received different aids, such cases are not as important as the situation faced by the orphans. After the losses, no one truly pays attention to the extent to which the southern crisis affects these unfortunate children. Even in time of peace, the children who will become adults in future have to face and suffers from severe social biases at home and elsewhere. They also have to face violence and the lack of safety in their lives. This is a result of the fire of vengeance between local people and the government’s suppression which is a game of those villains in power. The orphans will have to sustain their lives alone despite some aids from the government and private sectors. In order to create social awareness of the orphans’ daily lives in Narathiwat province, which affects their psychological status, education, and security of individual, social, and country’s levels, the awareness is raised through video art creation. Video art is a form of art which can reflects the way of lives of those who suffer from losses by presenting the stories of those who have lost, especially in terms of mental status after the loss.

Although it does not catch the world’s attention as much as other conflict cases in the same region, daily violent incidents are ongoing for more than a decade. The violence in the south has multiple causes including historical concerns, economic marginalisation, political and social issues, religious and cultural differences, educational opportunity inequities, and judicial discrimination.
