Executive Summary Addition to the eight local communities provided with small grants for livelihood improvement in 2015, this second quarter, the Small Grant Committee meeting additionally approved four projects: (1) Project on Bio-diesel for People with Disabilities in Yala; (2) Project on “Economic Empowerment for Conflict-affected Women in Gujingluepa” in Narathiwat; (3) Project on “Economic Empowerment for Po-Ming Conflict-affected Women”, Pattani, and (4) Mussel Farming for Fishermen, Pattani. 3. Key Results From 1 April to 30 June 2016, the key results were produced based on the following three outputs of the STEP II Project: Output 1: Participation in peace processes are broadened through strengthened capacity of local peace networks and better access to information. 1. Local media development 1 1.1 Local Media Networking A media network meeting on “How to Cooperatively Develop Maleyu Media for Peace” was co-organised on 31 May 2016 at Rajapark Institute, Sateng, Yala, by IPS, the Melayu Language Institution of Thailand, and SBPAC with the aim to (1) strengthen local media networks in the three southernmost provinces and Songkhla province; (2) create diverse channels of interactive communication; and (3) promote the participatory approach to media development for peace building and the preservation of the local Melayu dialect. The local media networks agreed that Melayu could be better promoted and widely used in media outlets through a variety of programs, e.g. news, poems, and cartoons. This meeting was a space for publicizing the networks’ activities and discussing how to strengthen cooperation among Melayu networks to develop the Melayu language for sufficient communication and usage in the media and to exchange information for promoting peace. 1.2 On-line media From April-June 2016, IPS and DSJ have translated totally 104 pieces of articles and news regarding peace into Maleyu to be disseminated through various channels including 12 pieces on websites, 41 pieces in Patani Mingguan Newsletter, 63 pieces in Sinara Newspaper. 1.3 Publications: o Melayu newspaper “Sinaran” and Melayu Newsletter “Patani Mingguan” The IPS supported the production of 24 Patani Mingguan newsletters (biweekly) that were sent to 170 recipients and 6 Sinaran newspapers (bimonthly) in Melayu were produced with a total of 1,000 copies distributed by post and at events to 523 individuals and 184 organizations. The newsletters were also posted on http://www.deepsouthwatch.org/node/3831. These two publications helped link local peace networks to target groups in the southernmost provinces, such as religious schools (Pondok and Tadika schools) where Melayu is mainly used. These media outlets paved the way for local people to gain better access to information and build a basis for people’s involvement in future peace processes. 2. Academic Learning Centers on Community Peace (Safety Net: Kampong Damai) Afetr having established three Academic Learning Center on Community Peace-the fiorst one at Palukasamor sub-district, Bacho district, Narathiwat province; the second at Bacho sub-district, Bannang Sata district, Yala province, ;and the third one at Tha Kamcham sub-district, Nong Chik district, Pattani province- three courses were taught in the three Community Peace Academic Learning Centers (Kampong Damai) as follows: o The course on Metal Treatment and the Women’s Role in Peace Building at Kampong Damai Pattani, taught by a researcher from the Princess Galayani Vadhana Institute for Cultural Studies, Pattani, on 17 June 2016. o The course on Islamic Human Rights at Kampong Damai Yala, taught by the General Secretary of Islamic Culture for Development Center (PUKIS), on 17 June 2016. 2 o The course on Islamic Human Rights at Kampong Damai Narathiwat, taught by the General Secretary of Islamic Culture for Development Center (PUKIS), on 18 June 2016. 3. Research on Peace Communication Process in the Deep South The Institute for Peace Studies has conducted a research to evaluate the understanding and participation in peace process of local people, students, and other beneficiaries in the Deep South, who have participate in the Output I’s activities. IPS will collect information from the beneficiaries by using pre-test and post-test method. The first information collecting was from 18 local leaders who participated in the training on Local Leader and Positive Peace Dialogue. The test result of the first group showed that after the training their understanding in peace process is increasing and they have regularly participated in peace movement and networked with other peace groups. Output 2: Vulnerable groups empowered to access justice with support of key institutions and networks. 1. Access to Justice The Heart Support Group (Duay Jai), an NGO located in Songkhla working to empower families (Women and children) of detainees charged of national security offences in the Deep South, was granted to run a sub-project to promote justice in the Deep South and make justice accessible for all with special focus on detainees and their families. The families of detainees have trouble finding accessible legal service or representation through the justice system. They need to be empowered to take advantage of these basic services to which they are entitled. This sub- project aims to provide legal aid to the detainees through capacity-building activities and support the detainees’ families through various activities including family visits. The beneficiaries are 200 national security offense prisoners in Central Prison in Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat, 50 former national security offense prisoners, and 50 members of national security offense prisoners’ family. From April to June 2016, the following activities had been organised: Family/House visits: The Heart Support Group had visited more than 50 families of conflict-affected persons including families of former prisoners, families of prisoners, families of suspects, families of persons who lose their life from the conflict, and families of authorities affected by conflict officer, to provide them with the knowledge of justice system and legal service. Capacity Building activities: Prisoners charged with an offense under national security act in five prisons in Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, Songkhla, and Na Thawi district of Songkhla were provided with knowledge and skill regarding justice, human rights, legal system, and other necessary information. More than 150 prisoners learned about justice system and their rights to access justice and legal aid. Inter-family Meetings: Common space was set as a platform for prisoners’ family to learn and share experience. Legal services were also provided to family members. Output 3: Local communities more resilient, with stronger social cohesion, through the improvement of livelihoods. 3 1. Small Grants for Livelihood Improvement The following eight local community groups from three southernmost provinces (Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat) have started their project in January 2016: 1) Project on “Production of Kolae Boat Model–a traditional wooden boat souvenir”, Datoh village, Laem Pho sub-district, Yaring district, Pattani. 2) Project on “Roasted Coconut”,Thienya village, Thienya sub-district, Yaring district, Pattani. 3) Project on “Palm Sugar Development”, Ban Thung and Ban Huakhlong, Panareh district, Pattani. 4) Project on “Sustainable Waste Management”, Laem Pho sub-district, Yaring District, Pattani. 5) Project on “Meat Goat Raising” Paka Harang, Muang Pattani, Pattani. 6) Project on “Dried Fish Crackers and fresh fish Cracker”, Na Pradu sub- district, Khok Pho district, Pattani. 7) Project on “Development of Prepared/Preserved Garcinia”, Sai-Khao Sub- district, Khok Pho district, Pattani. 8) Project on “Energy Saving Oven Production”, Lochut sub-district, Waeng district, Narathiwat. 9) Yala Bio-diesel Community Enterprise for People with Disabilities: Lam Mai sub-district, Muang District, Yala. The Yala Bio-diesel Community Enterprise was established since 2009 with the concern of environment and the awareness of energy crisis. Bio-diesel is an alternative energy which helps save energy and also preserves the environment by recycling used cooking oil. Households or restaurants will likely not throw used cooking oils in inappropriate places/ways. A small Bio-diesel manufactory run by the Yala- Biodiesel Community Enterprise provides an opportunity to its members to use bio-diesel for their diesel vehicles as alternative energy. Even though Bio- diesel is not widespread used, it will be more useful

    Journal of the Association of Researchers. Vol 19 No.2 May – August 2014. Angkana Wangthong, et al. Community participation in the care of chronic schizophrenia patients. NongChik District, Pattani Province. Background and significance of the problem. Schizophrenia is the most prevalent disease. It is estimated that around 1-1.5% of the world population. 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. Most of the time there is a relapse. They need to be hospitalized periodically. As a result, the family life efficiency of caregivers (caregivers) was significantly declined becayse it takes a long time in caring.

INTRODUCTION (1) Project Background The impact of violence in the southernmost provinces of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat, s is jeopardizing human security and development for people living in the area. In addition to the victims of attacks, local people are indirectly beleaguered by the impact of violence. Residents, of which Malay-Muslims comprise around 80 percent, have to contend with insecurity, disrupted education, and fears generated by the activities of both the insurgents and security forces on a regular basis.

  • ANNEX 1: Climate Risk Profile for Thailand and Project Target Areas
    PIMS 3771 THAILAND SCCF Project - Annexes ANNEX 1: Climate Risk Profile for Thailand and Project Target Areas Location &Climate of Thailand Thailand is located between 5°40’ and 20°30’ N latitudes and 97°20’ and 105°45’ E longitudes in South East Asia. The country borders Myanmar to the north and west, Laos to the northeast, Cambodia to the east and Malaysia to the south. Thailand can be divided into four major natural geographic regions: the mountainous north the arid northeast, comprised mainly by the Korat Plateau the fertile central plains, which include the Chao Phraya River Basin, and the southern peninsula. Thailand’s 2,600 km coastline runs mainly along the Gulf of Thailand (1,660km), with a shorter stretch of coast along the Andaman Sea (950km) on the western side of the southern peninsula. The Gulf of Thailand is relatively shallow and has an area of 30,400km², while the Andaman Sea is much larger and deeper. There are altogether 23 provinces (including Bangkok) along the two coasts, with most bordering the Gulf of Thailand, a few along the Andaman Sea, and a few with borders along both coasts. The proposed project focuses on Thailand’s narrow southern peninsula, which is flanked by the Gulf of Thailand to the east, the Andaman Sea to the west and Malaysia to the south. Thailand’s climate is classified as tropical savannah in the ‘mainland’ and tropical monsoon in the southern peninsula, which experiences a slightly different climate because of its geography and its close proximity to the sea. Across the country there are three main seasons; hot, wet and mild.

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.

The measure- ment of diameter is generally carried out by a comparison method or direct method using 1D linear measuring system. The probes touch both sides of the workpiece and the diameter is determined from displacement of the probes. The contact force is generally operated at 1N which yield defor- mation due to force of approximately 1 µm with uncertainty of ±0.1 µm. This system provides good performance but has a limitation when workpiece is made from soft matter or sensitive to scratch. National Institute of Metrology (Thailand) developed a laser interferometer system which is equipped with reference spherical lens in order to non-contact radius measurement of spherical objects pos- sible. Radius of completed sphere and partial sphere with radius range from 1 mm up to 50 mm can be measured with accuracy of ±2 µm.

Thirty-five farmers were interviewed using questionnaires from August to September, 2019. The results showed that all of asam gelugur was Garcinia atroviridis. They were grown in low land (51.43%) which is a production land size of 1,600-3,200 square meters (65.71%). The growing density was 1-3 plants per farm. Mostly, the seeding method (97.14%) was used for Garcinia atroviridis planting. The plant grew in clay loam and sandy clay loam (34.29 and 34.29%, respectively) using rainwater (94.29%). The flowers bloomed from January to February (88.57%) and most fruits were produced in February. The harvest period was from July to September, with an average yield of 100-200 kg/rai/year. The postharvest management was in the form of sun-dried slices (82.86%), preserved slices (8.57%) and fresh fruit (8.57%) which net revenue were 12,600, 40,716 and 2,584.23 baht per year, respectively. Keywords: Garcinia atroviridis, Production management Introduction Asam gelugur (Garcinia atroviridis Griffith ex T. Anderson., G. atroviridis) is a tropical plant belonging to the Guttiferae family.
