Item Metadata only The roles of crime suppression division police in suppression of hires gunmen(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Narong Chanapaikul; Sombat Suppatchai; Asawin Watanavibool; Nop KanjanaguntiThe objectives of the study were to find the level of roles in suppression of hired gunmen by the police officers of the Crime Suppression Division and to find the performance factors which affect these roles. The subjects were 112 police officers of the Crime Suppression Division whose work involved the suppression of hired gunmen either directly or indirectly. The data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed by using SPSS for Windows statistical program. The summary of the study are as follow: 1. The subjects have moderate levels of roles in arrest, detection, information gathering, information exchange, information delivery, and surveillance in suppression of hired gunmen but have low level of roles in prevention of crime commitment of hired gunmen. 2. The subjects with differences in official age, duration in detective task, presence of informants, external influence, support from higher rank and command line, budgeting, manpower, experience of colleagues, additional training, skill in firearm use and experience in hired gunmen suppression have differences in levels of roles in suppression of hired gunmen. Recommendations: 1. There should be coordination and cooperation among the local police authorities, the National Security Council, The National Intelligence Office and the Crime Suppression Division in suppression of hired gunmen because the assassination of politicians and businessmen could destroy national investment opportunities as a whole and would affect national security. 2. There should be further study concerning the roles in suppression of hired gunmen in the military agencies, the National Security Council, the National intelligence Office, and other police authorities including the Border Patrol Police.Item Metadata only Expectation of the people Bangkok metropolis towards the roles of the crime suppression division Police Officers(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Somyos Romson; Sombat Suppatchai; Asawin Watanavibool; Nop KanjanaguntiThe objectives of the study were to obtain the expectation of the people in Bangkok toward the roles of the police officers of the Crime Suppression Division and to obtain the factors affecting these expectations. The expectations toward the roles of performance studied were on responsibility, personality, human relations, and behavior in task performance. The subjects were 420 Bangkok residents who presented to the Metropolitan Police Stations with claims of being victims of crimes against life and property. The data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed by using SPSS for WINDOWS program. The results of the study were summarized as follows: 1. The subjects had high level of expectation toward the roles of performance of the police officers of the Crime Suppression Division in responsibility and personality. 2. The subjects had very high level of expectation toward the roles of performance of the police officers of the Crime Suppression Division in human relations and behavior in task performance. 3. The subjects who had differences in education, occupation and marital status had different expectation toward the roles of performance of the police officers of the Crime Suppression Division. The author recommends that there should be further study of the expectation of the people in task performance of the other authorities in the Royal Thai Police to compare with this study. In addition, there should be revision of the task performance of the police authorities to satisfy the needs of the people, and the Crime Suppression Division should use the results of this study to revise the task performance of personnel to achieve the maximum satisfaction for the people.Item Metadata only Factors affecting number of Children everborn in ever-married women age 15-49 years in Kanchanaburi(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Rahman, Lima; Buppha Sirirassamee; Orapin Pitakmahaket; Yupin VorasiriamornWith great concern over the development prospects of the nation, the government in the late 1950s adopted an antinatalist population policy. The dramatic drop in fertility (about 60 percent within a period of 25 years) gives rise to the question: what are the underlying causes of this change? It had been assumed at aggregate level that urbanization and modernization leading to socioeconomic and demographic changes played a major role in explaining the rapid pace and profound nature of fertility changes. This study examines, childbearing in Kanchanaburi project area to identify the factors, which have affect on number of children everborn. The study is based on investigating secondary data from baseline survey 2000, Kachanaburi project of IPSR, Mahidol University, which is supported by Wellcome Trust. The factors affecting the number of children everborn of a total of 8,263 ever-married women of reproductive age were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The average number of children everborn was two. Most of the women resided in rural areas and most of them were over 30. Their average educational length was five years and half of the sample was involved with agricultural work. The average age at first marriage was 20 years. Almost half of the sample got married below age 19 and entered into early motherhood. It was evident from the study that 38 percent of the sample had a history of teenage pregnancy. Considering birth order, it was found that married women who were less educated and got married early gave birth to more children compared with those women who were more educated and married later. Moreover, the women involved with agricultural work had more children compared with non-agrobased and unemployed women. From the multivariate analysis, it was found that demographic factor, age, age at first marriage and contraceptive practice, and socioeconomic factors, education, income, place of residence and community participation have a significant effect on number of children everborn. The predictor variables can explain a 39 percent variation in number of children everborn. Findings strongly suggest that, in the project area, at the individual level demographic and socioeconomic factors have a significant effect on number of children everborn and small families were preferred. But the pattern of childbearing firmly brought to light the issue of adolescent pregnancy. So, adolescent reproductive health programmes should be introduced in order to reduce early pregnancies and their consequence. Specific focus should be given to contraceptive choice among the married women. In order to fully understand women's reproductive intention, future research needs to be focused on factors affecting the desire number of children.Item Metadata only Factors affecting the crimes against properties of the male juveniles in the Central Observation and Protection Centers(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Pitsanu Polabout; Nop Kanjanagunti; Juan Chaisuwan; Lamduan SrimaneeThis study aims to investigate factors affecting crime against properties by male juveniles in the Central Observation and Protection Centers, Bangkok. 120 male juveniles are the sample group who had committed crimes against property and being admitted in the training centers of Ban Metta, Karuna, Mudita and Ubekkha. Questionnaire is the instrument used for data collection. Frequency, percentage, mean, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA) are statistical application in analysis. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. Most in the sample group are between 17-18 years of age with primary level of education and residing in Bangkok. They are unemployed and earning no income with less than 100 Baht a day for daily expenses. They are living with their parents, who occasionally quarrel. Sample group felt that they did not obtain warmth from parents and had associations with both lawful and offending relatives and friends. 2. Attributes and emotions of most of the sample group are charterised by simple works, expeditious, composed and of good mood but inconsistent and rather fiery. 3. Most are involved with crimes against properties with an accomplice, but without use of arms in the offense. Most violations are committed during the nighttime at the unawareness of the existing proprietors in moat communities. Cause of offense is often greed to own the property or its arousal in association with conditional forces e.g. poverty and the existing opportunity and situation facilitate committing offense. It is recommended that there should be promotion and the strengthening of the family institution where members contribute more to mutual warmth and relationships. Benefits include protecting family members not to turn to narcotics or to associate with bad friends or offenders. Further, either government or the private sector should organize activities to strengthen the family institution as a path and a good foundation for social good and values.Item Metadata only A study of job satisfaction factors and participation or non-participation in early retirement program of the Army Officers in Bangkok(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Rujirek Boonsiri; Chaiwat Panjaphongse; Kowit Krachang; Siravit KoolrojanapatThe research was designed as a survey, which aimed to study job satisfaction factors, extrinsic factors and intrinsic factors related to participation or non- participation in early retirement programs by army officers in Bangkok. The data were collected through the use of a questionnaire developed by the researcher. The data were analyzed by using the following statistics: Frequency, Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation and chi-square. It was found that job satisfaction factors and intrinsic factors were not related to participation or non-participation in early retirement programs of the extrinsic factors of job satisfaction, there were three aspects of fourteen that were statistically significantly related to participation or non-participation in early retirement program at the low level. The personal factors statistically significantly related to participation or non-participation in early retirement programs were sex (male > female), age (under 25 years old > over 25 years old), rank (equivalency between Major-Colonel, 1st Master Sergeant-3"d Master Sergeant), year of service (equivalency at 20-30 years. Additionally, in participant groups, the combat supports were larger than the combat officers. But in non-participant group, the combat officers were larger. On the character of job, there were equivalencies between administrative jobs in both groups. According to the study, the Royal Thai Army needs further study in early retirement programs for army officers to find out method of developing in this program. To reasonably retain qualified long-term officers, other factors that affect or are involved in the early retirement program should be studied.Item Metadata only The effects of keyguard use with typing aid in Thai language on children with cerebral palsy(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Pimon Jongpaisalsatit; Wiraman Niyomphol; Rattana Rattanatharn; Wilai KusolvisitkulThe objective of this research is to study the effects of the use of keyguards and customized typing aids on accuracy and speed when typing on computer keyboards in the Thai language. The subjects are 13 students with cerebral palsy at Srisangwal School between grades 2-8 during the academic year of 2001. Keyguard and hand stick are low assistive technology devices that help children with cerebral palsy to type or press on the keyboard more accurately. The subjects have Thai reading and spelling skills according to the school standard but had difficulty in using arms and hands to press any key on the standard computer keyboard. The data was collected through experiment, tests and assessment of the use of keyguards and/or typing aids in Thai language through a Thai test typing program. Each subject performed a typing test in four different methods and the results were collected and analyzed. The results found that there is highest accuracy in typing using a keyguard with a typing aid. Typing using a keyguard only is more accurate than using a typing aid only and not using any assistive device. It was discovered that there was a high level of accuracy using keyguard only and using both keyguard and typing aid. In contrast, there was a low level of accuracy using a typing aid only and not using any assistive device. This indicates that the presence or absence of a keyguard affects typing accuracy. In addition, the result also shows that typing on the keyboard using both a keyguard and a typing aid is the most suitable method for severe athetoid cerebral palsy children. Typing on the keyboard using a keyguard only is the most suitable method for moderate athetoid cerebral palsy children. Mild athetoid cerebral palsy children performed at the same level typing on the keyboard without using any assistive device and using a typing aid only. This study concludes that keyguards and customized typing aids can help cerebral palsy children with difficulty using standard computer keyboards type in the Thai language more easily with better speed and accuracy.Item Metadata only Decision in arrest of violent crime committers of the detective police officers in the Police Station in 7th. Metropolitan Police Division(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Bundit Khaosutham; Asawin Watanavibool; Nop KanjanaguntiThe research objectives are to study the conditions of criminal problems, method of crime prevention and suppression of capital offense and violent crimes including studying problems and barriers associated with factors affecting prevention and suppression of crimes in the Provincial Police of Petchaburi. 135 commissioned police officers in the Province of Petchaburi were the respondents in data collection. SPSS was used for data analysis. It was found that the personal background of the commissioned police officers affected the opinion of the method of prevention and suppression of the capital offenses. Some internal and external factors also affected the method of prevention and suppression of the capital offenses. However, the differences of variables gave no negative effect toward the method of prevention and suppression of the capital offenses but gained positive effects for better effectiveness. From this study we suggest there should be related studies in this issue. Some of the contents from this study can be used to investigate problems in this area. There should be publication and emphasis on collaboration among all levels of the police and the public to further social benefits in general.Item Metadata only Problems of the police officers in Crime Suppression Division in suppression of crimes from the aliens(Mahidol University.

Meanwhile, the significant factors relating to the administration of police patrol officers are: age, material resources and the operational attitudes at a statistical significance at 0.05 level. Moreover, the other factors do not relate to administration with the same level of statistical significance.Item Metadata only The role played by the community in the development of quality of life for the elderly : a case study of Bansamphran community, amphoe Samphran, Nakhonpathom province(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Kriengsak Sueluerm; Saowapa Pornsiripongse; Iam Thongdee; Pornthip UsuparatThe objectives of the study are to: 1) study the elderly's life in Ban Samphran Community including their problems and needs, and 2) study the role played by the community in the development of quality of life for the elderly in Ban Samphran Community and how the community develop. This is a qualitative study. The study was conducted by survey, observation, in-depth interview, formal and informal interview. The informants are the elderly in Moo 8 Ban Samphran Community. There are 35 of them (16 males and 19 females), the mayor of Samphran municipality, the abbot of Samphran temple and Bangchangnue temple, the director of Ban Samphran school, Sakonwitthaya school, Nakprasith school, Samphranwitthaya school and the chairperson of Samphran Public Charity Foundation. Firstly, the study found that: the target elderly, 11 persons who are self-reliant take care of the house, look after their grandchildren, cook, plants and cut grass. The target elderly, 24 persons who are dependents spend their time listening to radio, watching television, taking care of the house and watching the house. The target elderly who are dependents face physical, economic, social relationship, and mental problems respectively. Most of them need respect and care from their families. They need a salary, supporting jobs and elderly clubs and places to exercise. Secondly, the community needs to help to develop the quality of life for the elderly. The municipality should be holding up communal activities and cooperating with related agencies to help the elderly. The temples are a spiritual support and public park for them, and it is also a meeting places for the elderly and the rest of the communal members. The temples also help the elderly who face difficulty. The schools are emphasizing on the importance of the elderly. It is being centers for elderly and the communal member to join in activities together, and serving as exercising and leisure places. The foundation is the center for the elderly to participate in raising money for those who are in trouble. The target elderly was satisfied with what the community invited people to participate in activities. And guidelines for development of life quality for the elderly is to give knowledge and advice about health to people, elderly and marriage partners, including their children. The forming of public health centers as community health centers, and the creation of jobs will help the elderly to get a better life. Furthermore, to give money to the elderly who are in trouble, to organize activities for the elderly and people to join together, to give chances to them to transfer knowledge and experience, to teach students to realize about value of the elderly and to construct a place for them to exercise are the ways to help the elderly.Item Metadata only A study of language attitude toward thai dialects and their speakers : a case study of four campuses of Rajamangala Institute of Technology(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Niramol Chanyam; Ruengdet Pankhuenkhat; Sukhuma-Vadee Khamhiran; Deeyu SrinarawatThis study aims to investigate the attitudinal reactions of students of Rajamangala Institute of Technology (four campuses) who evaluated each of four Thai dialect speakers (from both their own dialect group and from contrasting groups) by using the matched-guise technique. This technique allows researchers to determine the reactions of respondents toward regional dialects and their speakers by using recordings of guise speakers as stimulus voices. The sample comprises 297 students from four campuses of Rajamangala Institute of Technology-Northern Campus (Chiangmai), Khonkaen Campus, Nonthaburi Campus, and Southern Campus (Songkhla)-who served as judges and respondents. Each member of the sample heard six stimulus voices recorded by three guise speakers. Each speaker read a passage once in his original dialect and once in the Bangkok Thai dialect. The respondents were asked to imagine that they were listening to the telephone or radio and to judge each speaker's personality from the voice. The respondents were not told that there were only three speakers. The research findings show that the respondents evaluate the Bangkok guise speakers most favorably on personality characteristics and status; the mean ratings for the Bangkok guise speakers are the highest. On the other hand, with respect to amiability, Bangkok guise speakers are rated least favorably. By using the matched guise technique, the respondents' evaluations of each guise are different, despite the fact that each speaker assumes two guises. This shows that dialects do influence human thought and attitudinal reactions toward speakers. An analysis of attitudinal reactions toward regional dialect speakers by respondents from each campus shows that there is a significance of differences in evaluations of the Northeastern guise at .00, and of the Bangkok guise at .04. However, there is no significance of differences in evaluations of the Southern guise and Northern guise speaker- -that is, the attitudinal reactions of respondents from different campuses toward the Southern guise and Northern guise speaker are in the same direction. Overall, the sample groups' attitudinal reactions toward the Bangkok speakers are the highest and there is a significance of difference of at.00. This means that the campus and region of the respondent influence the evaluation. The respondents rate Bangkok speakers as being of higher status and give them more positive evaluations in general than the other guises. Bangkok-speaking respondents always rate their guise speaker higher than other speakers, followed by the Southern guise. Northern and Northeastern-speaking respondents rate the Southern guise quite low; similarly, Southern-speaking respondents rate the Northern and Northeastern guises quite low.Item Metadata only The preparedness of the royal Thai navy's personnel for intranet use : a case study of Institute of Advanced Naval Studies(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Wetchayun Pratoomchart, Lt.Cdr.; Sirirat Choonhaklai; Rachada Dhnadirek; Asawin WatanaviboolThis research has the objective to study the preparedness of naval officials in using Intranet at work in relation to circumstantial factors, to know the level of the preparedness of government officials and collect the information. This study will help in developing the procedure for changing from the current work system to one employing the Intranet. The sample group studied in this research were commissioned governments officials at the Institute of advanced Naval Studies, during the fiscal year of 2001 for 120 people, using questionnaires and analysis with the SPSS program. Comparison was made of the statistics, namely, percentages, average, standard deviations and using the Chi-square test and correlation coefficients to explain the relationship to preparedness. From the educational results, we found that the naval officials at the Institute of Advanced Naval Studies have a medium level of preparedness to using the Intranet (61.2%). There is also a medium level of understanding of knowledge and perceptions. From basic analysis of the relationship of the preparedness government officials, it was found that personal elements (age, position, line/corps and average income) and circumstantial factors (Persuasion to use the Intranet and office support) have a significant relationship to the preparedness of officials, with statistical support. From this study, the researcher suggests that the office should plan a fixed framework for Intranet use, and short- and long-term Intranet development covering inventory, equipment, personnel and work duration. In addition, plans relating to the Intranet should be harmonized with the limited budget of the present economy. There should be a priority to fix the Intranet in offices where it is necessary, as well as the grade of personnel for its use, based on work and training. Research clearly found that high level government officials are more prepared to use the high level Intranet. Therefore, this group of personnel should be promoted and supported with matters relating to the Intranet first.Item Metadata only Kasong Syntax(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Sunee Kamnuansin; Suwilai Premsrirat; Amon Thavisak; Sophana Srichampa; Migliazza, BrianThis thesis is a study of Kasong syntax. Kasong language belongs to the Pearic branch of Mon-Khmer subfamily within the Austroasiatic language family which is spoken in Trat province of Thailand. This language is generally known as Chong of Trat. It was believed to be the same language as Chong which is spoken mainly in Chanthaburi province in previous studies. This study covers five ranks of the grammatical hierarchy - morpheme, word, phrase, clause and sentence. In addition, the language situation of Kasong is discussed in this study so that it will be useful for further work on this language. The researcher found that Kasong and Chong are different. At the present there are only few Kasong speakers and most of them are elderly people over 55 years old. The data were elicited from the Kasong informants who live in Ban Khlong Saeng, Ban Padaw and Ban Danchumphon, Borai district, Trat province during field works between 2000-2001. The focus was on folktales, daily life communication and various kinds of text materials. The data analysis was based on the Tagmemics and the grammatical approach adopted in this study mainly follows David Thomas (1993). The findings in this study show that the syntactic structure of Kasong language is more like Thai structure though some Mon-Khmer characteristics can still be observed. Affixation that is a significant feature in Mon-Khmer languages, is no longer productive in this language. There are a lot of Thai loanwords in Kasong, especially the grammatical words. The study reveals that Kasong is heavily influenced by Thai since Kasong speakers are bilingual in Kasong and Thai. Moreover, most of them speak Thai more than their own ethnic language. Kasong is now in the serious stage of endangerment. It is predicted that in the next few generations if nothing is done, the Kasong language will disappear when the current speakers die.Item Metadata only Vocabulary input in English for science courses : a corpus analysis of intensive and extensive course materials(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Kornwipa Poonpon; Cowan Bob; Somchoen HonsaThe purpose of this study was to analyse the vocabulary input of class materials in English for Science courses for first year and second year science students to find out what vocabulary science students were actually taught at the tertiary level. The course materials analysed in the study were intensive and extensive teaching materials taken from English courses for first and second year science students from Mahidol University and Khon Kaen University, in the 2001-2002 academic year. The analysis tool in this study was the concordancing software (WordSmith Tools). The results of the study showed that the intensive and extensive course materials for first year students at Mahidol University was covered by basic words in the General Service List at 83.4% and 88%, and by academic words in the Academic Word List at 5.6% and 2.1% respectively. The intensive and extensive course materials for second year students at Mahidol University was covered by basic words in the General Service List at 83.2% and 78.1%, and by academic words in the Academic Word List at 8% and 6.7%, respectively. In the intensive and extensive course materials for first year students at Khon Kaen University, words in the General Service List accounted for 89.9% and 85.3% of the total words, the academic words covered 2% and 3.5% of texts, respectively. Vocabulary input in intensive and extensive course materials for second year students at Khon Kaen University had 83.4% and 82.7% coverage of basic words in the General Service List, and 7.1% and 6% coverage of academic words in the Academic Word List. Words from the Academic Word List appeared with greater frequency in second year materials of both Mahidol University and Khon Kaen University than in first year. This study revealed that vocabulary input in both intensive and extensive course materials in English for Science courses at Mahidol University and Khon Kaen University emphasized high frequency words. "Taught" vocabulary in word focus sections was also high frequency words, rather than academic and low frequency words. Moreover, vocabulary input in English courses for first year science students, in both universities, was taught as a basis for English courses for second year science students.Item Metadata only Working status of disabled persons after vocational training from the Redemptorist Vocational School for the Disabled, Pattaya(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Kalyanee Phumchusree; Poonpit Amatyakul; Arunee LimmaneeThe research objective was to study working life and vocations of disabled persons, their attitude to school, study of the basic public utility in society and attitude of colleagues and employers' behavour at their jobs, including current problems. The results of this study revealed there was a lot of acceptance of disabled persons, without emotions about their disabilities. Having a vocation is the most important for them because it makes them feel value, dignity, equality and not a burden on society. If disabled persons have the opportunity to develop their abilities by training, they can develop them. They are no different from the normal persons. Job markets have no suitable facilities such as slope way, toilet, lift etc. Disabled people want their employers to treat them equally to normal persons, in the workplace. Colleagues accept the disabled persons' ability equally to normal persons. Some of them return to their hometown and have incomes and expenses. They are a part of the economy. 83.5 percent do not continue studying. The disabled persons who ended studying in 2 sections of the Redemptorist Vocational School for the Disabled, Pattaya have more opportunities than the other disabled persons. From the results of this research, the candidate would like to offer advice to the government in administering the budget or holding fund for development and vocational training and to increase the budget for disabled persons, especially for the physical disabled persons in curriculum of computer, electronics and others. There is slight improvement of facilities for disabled persons. It's important to support disabled persons in living a normal lifestyle.Item Metadata only Self-reliance group of chemical-free cultivator at Tambon Huay-pra, Amphoe Dontoom, Nakhonpathom province(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Chattarin Bunkerd; Saowapa Pornsiripongse; Iam Thongdee; Renu MuenjanchoeyThis study is a social science research study using qualitative analysis methods to study self-reliance of chemical-free cultivators in Tambon Huay Phra, Amphoe Dontoom, NakhonPathom Province. The target group of this study was chemical-free cultivators, their family and government officers of the project. This study aimed to study:1) management of chemical-free cultivation groups 2) how self-reliance in chemical-free cultivation works and 3) conditions and factors that lead to self-reliance. The findings of this research are revealing both of the history of this method of cultivation and the operation of this group of farmers as a group. Firstly chemical-free cultivation in Tambon Huay Phra was firstly promoted by NakhonPathom Province agricultural officer through use of clothing screens. Then, in the next period, it was promoted by the private sector in terms of outside clothing screens. The vegetables, mostly cultivated by this group are Chinese kale Chinese cabbage and Morning glory. Secondly chemical-free groups can be self-reliant in some aspects. The cultivators can not be self- reliant in technology in terms of soil preparation, however cultivators can be technologically self- reliant in terms of cultivation, maintenance, harvesting, packaging, and knowledge application. In economic aspects, cultivators can be economically self - reliant in savings, capital raising, production, and product distribution. In natural resource, cultivators can be self-reliant in terms of soil and water. In mind-set aspect, cultivators can be self-reliant in terms of family, group and community. Moreover, cultivators can be socially self-reliant harmonious and interdependent. Last title conditions and factors leading to self -reliance can be divided into internal and external factors. Internal factors are group, organization, leaders and members. External factors are economy, market, green consumption, and private and government support. This research highlights the need for cultivators to establish standard management practices and procedures in order to produce better more, acceptable products and contribute to a more sustainable society. The results of this study will not only be beneficial for further studies but can be a useful guideline.Item Metadata only The influence of television drama on ship naming : case study of Rusamilae harbor at Mueang district, Pattani province(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Supachok Chamnanvat; Duangporn Kamnoonwatana; Sukhuma-Vadee Khamhiran; Apinya BuasuangThis qualitative research aims to study the influences of television dramas upon ship naming at Rusamilae Pier Pattani Province. The main purposes of this research is to study the ship naming process, to study what type of drama had an influence on fishermen in this village and to study beliefs in ship names. The informants were divided into two groups -a primary unit which consisted of thirty fishermen who named their ships after television dramas and a secondary unit which consisted of ten fishermen who did not name their ship after television drama, ten fishery experts, and fifteen opinion leaders. The results showed that the fishermen who named their ships after television dramas always follow their favorite drama. After they watched the drama, they discussed about the story with their friends. Television dramas from channel three and channel seven were very popular. Most informants liked to watch dramas about love, fighting and nature. The fishermen prepared themselves before watching television dramas because they wanted to concentrate on the drama and did not want to be interrupted. They selected to remember some parts of their favorite drama and applied the morals which they got from the drama to their everyday life. Moreover, it was found that television drama had a significant influence among the fishermen - they named their ships after their favorite drama. On the contrary, the fishermen who did not name their ships after television dramas did not watch television dramas. They liked to watch news programmes and sports news. Some of them did not have their own television set. From the study, it has been found that most fishermen thought that a ship name was important because it made others remember their ship. Some of them believed that a good name brought good luck for their ship and their career. Only a few fishermen thought that a ship name was not important, so they did not name their ship. This group of fishermen said that the ship owner's name could be used as a ship name, and they did not want to spend a lot of money in painting a name on their ship.Item Metadata only Civil society and development : a case study on Hakban Group, Thawangpha District, Nan Province(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Noppadol Kasetwethin; Yongyuth Burasith; Ruengdet Pankhuenkhat; Jitijayang YamabhaiThis investigation aimed to study the history and background of the Hakban Group, its operational aspects and roles in local developments, operational results, problems, difficulties and potential in managing the group. Data collection was from related literature and fieldwork. The methods employed were participatory observations, formal and informal interviews as well as group discussions. It was revealed from the research findings that the development of the group originated from an aquatic life conservation group of Ban Don Kaew, Tambon Pa Kha, Tawangpha District, Nan Province and linked with other groups in the area in a form of network with the group as a coordinating center. The ultimate goals of the network were to develop human capital and society, empower communities, and conserve and restore natural resources as well as local arts and culture. The emphasis was put on activities that reinforced community potential, enabling them to be self- dependent and expand a learning network with other communities. A horizontal working structure, diverse and strong leadership, and working atmosphere based on love and friendliness had mobilized the group to be able to empower its member organizations and ultimately create a body of knowledge to deal with their current problems appropriately. With respect to operational problems and difficulties, it was discovered that they were: (1) lack of budget and equipment to run the group efficiently, (2) cooperation with state agencies was of personal rather than organizational relationship, and (3) impacts from government mega-projects.Item Metadata only Translation techniques of song lyrics in animation films for Thai versions as translated by Tanee Poonsuwan(Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2002) Sirirat Wisedsook; Sukhuma-Vadee Khamhiran; Sujaritlak Deepadung; Anan Sobrerk; Wachiraporn WandeeThis thesis is a study of the translation techniques of song lyrics in animation films for Thai versions as translated by Tanee Poonsuwan. The purpose of this thesis is to attempt to analyze the translation techniques utilized in translating the song lyrics and seek factors that may influence the translation. This thesis employed a content analysis research methodology based on twenty-six original versions and Thai translated versions of song lyrics from four animation films, "Anastasia", "Hercules", "The Little Mermaid", and "The Prince Of Egypt." The results show that the translation techniques employed by the translator were both literal and free translation. Literal translation was utilized with song phrases which conveyed sufficient meaning or were not grammatically related to another song phrase. These song phrases were in forms of simple structure song phrases, prepositional and participial phrases, and common nouns. Personal pronouns and address terms were sometimes literally transferred. Free translation was utilized to adjust the grammatical structure of related song phrases. Some personal pronouns and address terms were deleted. Some personal pronouns were substituted by common nouns. Proper nouns were all transliterated. Most of chop words and interjections were transliterated as well. Free translation resulted from the fixed numbers of syllables in each song phrase. Three musical factors that influenced the translation were the relation of music and lyrics, rhyme, and the tone of songs. The relation of music and lyrics led to in consistency. Rhyme led to variations in final particles, addition in more details, and substitutions in repetitions. The tone of songs resulted in the use of informal forms of words, slangs, final particles, and interjections. The results of this study can be used as guidance in translating song lyrics for Thai versions in animation films
