    Anti-corruption practice in promotion and tranfering in administrative official
    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2024) Suwat Chansug; Wanaporn Tehagaisiyavanit; Sunee Kanyajit; Kamol Supreyasunthorn; Srisombat Chokprajakchat
    This study was an investigation of the concept of criminological philosophy and penology to help stipulate a criteria of the punishment suspension measures in the Criminal Code, Section 56 for substantial application. This was documentary research that also employed an in-depth interview with judges working in the Trial Court, the Appeals Court, and the Supreme Court. The results revealed that the sentences stipulated were appropriate for the offense and the offenders. The suspension was a measure the court could decide to impose on some types of offenses and for the offenders appropriate to their conditions and their individuality in each case. This was to provide opportunity for the offenders to became good citizens, without criminal records and to deter short-term imprisonment. Most judges, on the contrary, never applied the punishment suspension measures in their judgments but imposed the reprieve. Rationally, most judges reflected on the penalty account and viewed that it was adequate, that the punishment stipulated needed to follow the penalty account and the laws while disregarding other facts such as the defendant's historical records, gravity, and the damages caused by the offense. The judges might have fear of the penalty account had not been followed, they would have to blamed for not aligning with the penalty account; it was then inferred as corruption (if their judgment) Consequently, the judges adhered to the penalty account as the principle of judgment in order to protect themselves and ignored facts to complement their judgment. There should be a standard criteria to enable the judges to impose the punishment suspension measures in their judgments through using the concept of criminological philosophy and penology as guides for the substantial stipulation. The recommendations from the study were; it was necessary to stipulate the criteria of penalty account, offenses should be stipulated in the rate of the penalty account so that the courts could, in the same direction, impose the punishment suspension measures and meet the rule of law. The knowledge and the concept of penology theory should be promoted among the judges.

    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2018) Olarn Charoenchai; Kampanad Bhaktikul; Vimut Prasertpunt; Thongplew Kongjun
    The objectives of this study were to assess flood resilience of houses and socio-economic adaptation of households in flash and inundation flood-affected areas in Thailand. Five flash and five inundation flood-affected areas in Thailand were chosen to be study sites. Guided field walks, architectural measurement, and in-depth interview were used to collect data. Disaster Resilience Framework was employed as the main frame to assess flood resilience in this study. The software named Robot Structural Analysis Professional (educational version) was used to assess robustness of houses to water flood and debris flow in flash flood sites. The assessment on robustness of house's materials to inundation flood and the assessment on redundancy, resourcefulness, rapidity of houses and socio-economic adaptation of households to flash and inundation flood were undertaken by applying the technique of Directed Content Analysis. The results of this study were as follows: 1) About robustness assessment of physical characteristics of houses in flash flood-affected areas, main structure of all types of house can withstand flood loads of water flood except wooden single-story house and all types of house cannot endure impact loads of debris flow except double-story house which downstairs' main structure is reinforced concrete, all types of downstairs wall breakdown when they are stricken by flood and impact loads whereas ground floor panels both slabs on ground and on beams still exist. 2) About robustness assessment of houses in inundation flood-affected locations, all types of house are not resilient to flood, wood components of wooden house degrade in form of swelling, twisting, cupping, bowing, and checking. Reinforced concrete members of concrete house gradually deteriorate by carbonation and chloride ingress process that cause the corrosion of reinforcing steel bars that leads to the loss of strength of such members. Masonry walls of concrete house degrade by sulphate crystallization in masonry units and mortar that cause the breaking apart of masonry units and the erosion of mortar joint. 3) Most physical characteristics of houses and socio-economic adaptation of households in flash and inundation flood sites represent at least one of three remaining properties of disaster resilience: redundancy, resourcefulness, and rapidity whereas some characteristics and adaptation are outside the scope of Disaster Resilience Framework and need new words to explain them.

    Mesh fixation for inguinal hernia : Integrated and updated data of umbrella review with network meta-analysis and cost-utility analysis
    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2024) Suphakarn Techapongsatorn; Ammarin Thakkinstian; Chumpon Wilasrusmee; Oraluck Pattanaprateep
    Surgical mesh repair is defined as the standard care for symptomatic inguinal hernia patient. Mesh fixation is used to secure the mesh to myopectineal orifice, the weakness area of inguinal hernia. However, the various types of mesh fixation both open and laparoscopic approach and their relative effects were still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluated 6 various mesh fixations for inguinal hernia on clinical outcome and cost-utility analysis. The methodology used umbrella review and prospective cohort study designs. The umbrella review involved thirty systematic reviews and meta-analyses of inguinal hernia mesh fixation and two-hundred and sixty-one patients from two University hospitals in Thailand, with surgery for primary uncomplicated inguinal patients for prospective cohort study. The main outcomes were hernia recurrence, chronic groin pain, complications and cost-utility analysis. Among the 30 meta-analyses, mesh fixations not associated with hernia recurrence, glue was associated with suggestive evidence on lower chronic groin pain event more than suture/tacker. Glue and self-gripping mesh were associated with shorter operative time than tacker (laparoscopic) and suture (open), respectively. Among the 261 patients divided into 6 groups, A - laparoscopic with tacker (n=47), B - laparoscopic with glue (n=26) and C - laparoscopic with self-gripping mesh (n=30), D - open with suture (n=117), E - open with glue (n=18) and F - open with self-gripping mesh (n=23). Hernia recurrence was the most common in group C, the highest mean utility score was in group E and F with 0.99 (0.02), and 0.99 (0.03), respectively. The pre-operative utility score was fitted with baseline utility in multilevel mixed effect model and treatment model. The cost of treatment in laparoscopic surgery was higher than open surgery group, laparoscopic with self-gripping mesh was highest cost. The cost-effectiveness plane for utility view and hernia recurrence case prevented demonstrated laparoscopic with self-gripping mesh was less cost-effective. The cost-effectiveness acceptability curves showed that open with glue was associated with the highest probability of being cost-effective at level willingness-to pay from 0 to 80,000 Baht, and after this point open with self-gripping mesh was the most cost-effective. In conclusion and relevance, mesh fixation did not affect hernia recurrence, the main outcome of concern in hernia repair. The open surgery hernia using glue and self-gripping mesh demonstrated the alternative for cost-effectiveness.

    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2024) Nanrapat Chaiakaraphong; Punchada Sirivunnabood; Jutharat Ua-amnoey; Suntariya Muanpawong; Ronnasit Maneesai
    Wildlife trafficking is a prolonged crisis of environmental crime in Thailand. The policy of wildlife also regulated without thoughtful studying on the problems. Ineffective law enforcement and corruption of officials regarding wildlife trafficking has become a problem that cause huge damage to Thailand. The negative outcomes therefore led to explore Green Criminology possibly defined the situation and occurrences of wildlife trafficking in Thailand. Including, the policy of protection of suppression in wildlife trafficking in Thailand appeared whether the way to decline wildlife trafficking in Thailand. The methodology was qualitative research. Study on documentary and in-depth interviews was conducted with the key informants who are involved in the prevention and suppression of wildlife trafficking from public agencies, private sectors, academic sector and civil society. The Green Criminology concept can be demonstrated the situation of wildlife trafficking in Thailand because it causes huge damage to humans and society, wildlife, environment and ecosystems. Even though Thailand has policies to protect and suppress wildlife trafficking, however, wildlife trafficking repeatedly occurs in Thailand due to problems on law enforcement, policy and agency and offender. Those were obstacles to the effective implementation of policies. Thus, cooperation among government agencies, private sectors, academic sectors and civil society is required to achieve both proactive and reactive operations in order to reduce problem of wildlife trafficking in Thailand.

    Dietary intake, lifestyle, inflammatory markers, gene polymorphisms and their relationship to development of type 2 diabetes among rural Thais in Sung Noen district, Nakhon Ratchasima province : a cohort study
    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2024) Jirayu Lainampetch; Karunee Kwanbunjan; Pattaneeya Pragnthip; Ngamphol Soonthornworasiri; Jirayu Lainampetch
    Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an important global public health problem. The number of T2DM cases is continuously increasing every year. Apart from major contributing risk factors of T2DM, the chronic low-grade inflammation influenced by inflammatory markers and genetic polymorphisms have been proposed to be related with the disease for over a decade. This study therefore aimed to determine the association of inflammatory markers, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP), their related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs); rs1800629, rs1800796, rs3093059, rs1061622, rs2228145 and rs372996, and other risk factors on the development of T2DM using the 2-year cohort study. A total of 248 diabetes-free subjects, aged 35-70 years who live in Sung Noen district, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, were completely followed for 2 years. After the 2-year follow-up, 18.6% of the total subjects had developed T2DM. The Longitudinal comparisons obviously showed the significant differences of several anthropometric and biochemical indices between the diabetic and non-diabetic groups throughout the follow-up period. The relationship of these indices, as well as dietary habits and exercise, with inflammatory marker levels was also found. The risk of developing T2DM was significantly increased in the subjects with the high level of baseline CRP (OR = 4.02, P = 0.001), and a stronger impact was found with combination of high CRP and IL-6 levels (OR = 5.11, P = 0.021). One-year inflammatory markers variation analysis also revealed the significant association of the elevated TNF-α and T2DM (OR = 4.88, P = 0.048). The effect of the gene polymorphisms on inflammatory markers levels were moderately found. The substitution of T to G on TNFRSF1B gene (rs1061622) was associated with the increased risk of T2DM (OR = 2.53, P = 0.011). In conclusion, besides the consideration of CRP levels alone, the study findings suggested that IL-6 played a contributing role in T2DM progression, and the elevation of TNF-α levels over time could be a potential predictor of T2DM. Moreover, there was a linkage between non-synonymous SNP at codon 196 on TNFRSF1B gene and T2DM development.

    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2019) Trai Unyapoti; Kwan Arayathanitkul; Narumon Emarat; Ratchapak Chitaree
    This study aims to enhance students' understanding and problem-solving skills of collisions. A teaching method called 'Momentum Vector Diagram (MVD) was developed to help students realize the concept of the vector quantity of momentum and to help them solve the collision problem correctly. The effectiveness of the MVD method was compared to the traditional teaching. The MVD was applied to the physics classes at 4 schools during the academic years 2014 to 2017 in the topic of momentum and collision. The pre-test and post-test were used to assess students understanding. The post-test results indicated that the students who studied with the MVD method had a higher average score than the students who studied with the traditional methods (2.42 ± 0.56 vs 1.55 ± 0.45). In the control group, it was found that the number of students who used the MVD method giving correct answer was more than the traditional method (74% vs 53%). In addition, it was found that the class averaged normalized gains were at the low gain for the traditional method ( = 0.26) and at the high gain for the MVD ( = 0.74). It can be concluded that the MVD is more effective in enhancing high-school students problem solving skills in the topic of collision than traditional method.

    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2016) Kenika Jiratchayaporn; Siriorn Sindhu; Acharaporn Seeherunwong; Rungnapa Panitrat; Chukiat Viwatwongkasem
    Although health related quality of life (HRQOL) has become an important to focus specifically on the impact of illness and treatments for patients with depression, few studies have conducted to explore HRQOL of patients from different types of hospitals. Therefore, in the first phase of this study aimed at examining a change in HRQOL of patients from various types of hospitals and explored health service system factors and personal factors of patients that could reflect their HRQOL in the second phase. This was a quantitative study. Data in the first phase from 30 participants per center from four different types of hospitals were collected at the first, sixth, and 12th weeks of the treatment course by the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief (WHOQOL-BREF) assessment, Thai version. In the second phase, 495 participants' data from 15 settings located in Bangkok metropolis and central regions of Thailand were collected by Hamilton rating scale for Depression Thai version, the multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Thai and WHOQOL-BREF Thai version for patient-level data and the questionnaire to measure interprofessional collaboration between clinical professionals used for organization-level data. In the first phase, the change in HRQOL score of participants was increased in each type of hospitals at their first visit, 6th week and 12th week after first visit, respectively (p<.001 except in 6th week of regional hospital that p< .01).For the second phase, the patient-level factors significantly were age, living arrangement (p<.05), severity of depressive symptoms, social support (p<.001) and interprofessional collaboration (p<.01). However, the random part of Generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) could not be identified because intra-class correlation (ICC) was the quite low. Apart from patient-level factors, these findings reflected HRQOL in patient with depression in terms of resources available in different types of hospital that could be used as baseline data for development of Thai mental health service systems.

    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2024) Narisra Komalawardhana; Patcharin Punjaburee; Khajornsak Buaraphan; Wararat Wongkia
    In recent years, many studies have reported the benefits of the digital game-based learning in supporting and enhancing students' learning performance and revealed that learning strategy-driven digital game could encourage knowledge construction. Well-designed digital game-based learning environment has been becoming a challenge and crucial research issue. Inquiry-based learning approach has been recognized as an excellent teaching and learning strategy to engage students in constructing knowledge and to make learning more meaningful. Moreover, mastery learning approach has been employed to ensure that all learning objectives could be achieved. In this research, an inquiry mastery digital game-based learning approach was developed in two phases. The first phase evaluated perception and learning interest of students who had different genders and learning styles in the developed digital game-based scientific inquiry approach. The second phase extended the conventional approach into the inquiry mastery digital game-based learning approach by considering personalized achievement level. These two studies revealed that the students had good attitude and learning interest in the digital game based scientific inquiry approach with no gap between gender and learning style. Moreover, the inquiry mastery digital game-based learning approach by considering personalized achievement level could improve the students' learning performance better than the conventional inquiry mastery digital-game based approach. This research suggested that the development of a personalized digital game-based learning with the appropriate learning pedagogies, such as inquiry-based learning and mastery learning approaches improve the students' learning performances in terms of cognitive and affective domains.

    This mixed-method study entitled "Developing aftercare treatment for the newly released female inmates in Thailand" aims to 1) find out the problem and impediment of the present operation, the needs of the newly released female inmates, and the factors affecting the achievement of the rehabilitation programs of Department of Corrections, 2) improve the treatment system towards the newly released female inmates and develop the appropriate aftercare treatment for the newly released female inmates. The documents, indepth interview, focus group, and questionnaire were utilized in data collection from those executives of Department of Corrections and Department of Probation and the scholars in the total of 10. The in-depth interview was still conducted with 3 newly released female inmates and the focus group was conducted with 15 operators of Department of Corrections while the questionnaire were answered by 280 female inmates who are going to be released. From the study, it is revealed that the government has the policy in taking care of as well as rehabilitating the newly released female inmates through the operation approach based on the integration of networks and a social sector in order to monitor and favor those newly released female inmates in the 2017 - 2021 fiscal year. They also have the correcting, rehabilitating, monitoring, assisting measures for the offenders in the community at the office level. In addition, they still have the Phiboon Songkhroh foundation functioning in helping the newly released female inmates under the supervision of Department of Correction administration. Nonetheless, the problems that Department of Corrections are facing start from screening, assessing, and rehabilitating the inmates. These are the consequences of the inmate overflow of the prison. Apart from this, the problem in concretely monitoring and assessing the newly released female inmates is still found in the study.

    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2024) Kanika Ussasarn; Penchan Pradubmook-Sherer; Pimpawun Boonmongkon; Guadamuz, Thomas
    The objectives of this research were to analyze the power relationship and social structure that affected subjectivity and experience of social suffering of the Thai undocumented laborers in South Korea and to understand how they construct practices to negotiate with social sufferings. This was a multi-sited ethnography that used fifteen participants and thirty-five key informants selected using purposive sampling. In-depth interview and participant observation were used in collecting data both in two rural villages in Thailand and in one rural village in South Korea. The results showed that marginalization of the government development forced people to change their way of life from peasants to migrant laborers. The participants perceived their undocumented labor status in diverse meanings impacted on emotions, thoughts and practices in everyday life. As Thai undocumented laborers, participants faced with exploitation and discrimination in working places, physical and verbal abuses, sexual harassment, work-related illness and inaccessibility to health care services, and fear for arrest and deportation. Participants however, could construct various practices to solve their sufferings. The results could be applied to guide related government organizations to accept a precise labor supply by Korean employers and adjust an appropriate regulation for employment permit system. Thai undocumented laborers, therefore, could access more to the government employment.

    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2024) Petcharat Eiamla-or; Orapan Thosingha; Suporn Danaidutsadeekul; Chukiat Viwatwongkasem
    The purpose of this study was to examine the factors predicting clinical outcomes in patients sustaining road traffic injury at emergency department (ED) and before hospital discharge. A cohort study research design was conducted at 12 hospitals in the Bangkok Metropolitan and the central region of Thailand. The sample comprised of 520 trauma patients and 157 triage nurses. Data were collected using questionnaire from April, 2016 to March, 2017. Descriptive statistics and logistic regressions were employed for data analysis. The results revealed that majority of patients (74.6%) had accident on the main road, using motorbike (81.15%), and was a rider or driver (70.77%). Around half of them used the motor vehicle with expired motor compulsory insurance. Around 75% did not wear any safety equipment protection, and 64% drank alcohol before driving. More than a half (54.6%) was classified into Emergency Severity Index (ESI) level I. The majority of injured body region was head (72.31%) and extremities (60.58%); 59.2% had Injury severity Scores (ISS) ranged from 25-49.). Probability of survival scores was 85.8%. On ED arrival, there were 208 patients (40%) who were in shock stage. At ED discharge, 41.35% recovered from shock, but 51.92% were still in shock, and 6.73% died. At emergency department discharged, 62.9% of them were not in shock stage, 33.8% demonstrated shock, and 3.3% died.On scene care and severity of injuries can explain the clinical outcomes at emergency department discharged at 4.8%. At the phase before hospital discharge, 9.8% were discharged from the hospital with permanent disability, and 65.2% still had at least 1 organ dysfunction. There were 24.2% of patients who died during hospital stay. The finding also indicated that on scene care, severity of injuries, patient's age, having valid motor vehicle compulsory insurance and MSI at emergency department discharged, can explain clinical outcomes before hospital discharge at 25.6%. Patients who were transferred from the scene by advanced ambulances showed the odd of survival rate 2.076 times higher (95% Cl, 1.215-3.545; p=.007) than those who were transferred by the foundation's van, personal pick up van or taxi. It is recommended that patients with severe road traffic injury should receive effective on scene management and being transferred by an advanced ambulance. Modified Shock Index should be utilized as a standard scoring system for patients with severe injuries. In order to improve clinical outcomes, prevent permanent disability and decrease mortality among patients with severe injuries, hemodynamic status should be monitored and managed throughout their hospital stay.

    Emotion management : fluidity of sexuality and sexual health risk of Laos migrant female sex worker (Saokaraoke) in transnational context
    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2017) Nattawut Singkul; Pimpawun Boonmongkon; Suchada Thaweesit; Guadamuz, Thomas E.
    The research studies emotion and emotion management, sexuality and risks among Laotian migrant female sex workers in a transnational context, using an ethnographic methodology, participant observation, and field study. The fieldwork was conducted for two years during 2014-2016 in a border area in Thailand. The researcher used focus group interviews among 40 karaoke bar workers, 20 in-depth interviews, ten sexuality narrative analysis and 45 ethnographic interviews with local stakeholders, namely: officials, community members, karaoke bar visitors, and nongovernmental organization staff. The research used emotion labor and emotion management by Arlie Russell Hochschild as a theoretical framework in the study, and sexuality narrative-based emotion analysis from the transnational migrant sex workers' (Laotian karaoke bar workers) story. From the findings of the study, it can be concluded that emotions are a necessary tool for Laotian migrant sex workers ("sao karaoke" or karaoke girls) in their work and their everyday lives. Emotion and emotional labor is the medium of exchange with customers, including emotional management, superficial acting, and deep acting in the workplace. Sexuality is used as part of work that is linked to intimacy, satisfaction, attraction, and seduction. There is sexual emotion that fortifies bargaining power and agency among migrant workers, for this reason, karaoke girls have not been entirely commoditized in the sex industry, through emotion management strategies, namely: partner screening, selection, and refusal, prioritizing clients, lovers, or boyfriends, and creating bodily boundaries. Karaoke girls also use emotions associated with sex work, multiple identity constructions, together with using emotions for sexual pleasure and satisfaction from work. Notwithstanding the fact that karaoke girls face poverty and inequality which are primary and essential conditions that drive Laotian migrant workers (karaoke girls) to engage in sex work in Thailand, they are not objectified by men or Capitalism in the sex industry. Karaoke girls maintain their subjectivity and agency as they choose and act throughout the use of emotion and emotion management-- a negotiation strategy and tool for work and lives under the context of survival and sexual health risks in transnational sex work

    Buddhist-catholic relations in Thailand : 'Dialogue of life' of Bangkok Catholics towards Buddhists
    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2019) Francis Chan Sze Ming, 1966-; Hubina, Milos; Kosuta, Matthew; Esteve, Julia
    This research was done to study attitudes of Bangkok Catholics toward Buddhists and how dialogue of life is manifested in the bigger context of Buddhist-Catholic relations in Thailand. The theoretical background and framework looked into some modern theories of dialogue, then examined Christian attitudes toward people of other religions through theology of religions. Various Vatican II and post-Vatican II documents were studied to help understand the official Church position, and the history of Buddhist-Catholic relations in Thailand were looked into to better appreciate the present situation of the relations. In-depth interviews were carried out with 29 subjects, 25 of whom were Catholics, to examine the Catholics' attitudes, positions, and views toward Buddhism and Thai Buddhists. It was found that the majority of the Catholics had an attitude of pluralism, and they adhered to official Church directives regarding evangelization and dialogue whenever these were practical and conducive for maintaining societal peace and harmony. Also, it was found that the Catholics had largely appropriated popular Thai Buddhist religious terminology and concepts, though not necessarily imbibing their full Buddhist meanings. Furthermore, it was also revealed that the friendship factor and avoidance of controversies were important aspects in the Catholics' relations with Buddhists, and the main aspect of dialoguing with Buddhists was ordinary living together, or dialogue of life. This study showed the significance of how a tiny minority Asian Church has adapted and assimilated to a dominant Buddhist majority sociocultural, politically, and even theologically.

    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2024) Suleemas Angsukiattitavorn; Acharaporn Seeherunwong; Mathuros Tipayamongkholgul; Rungnapa Panitrat
    Mood Swings (MS) is a common feature widely discussed as a prodromal sub-symptom of mental problems and psychopathology. However, there is paucity of knowledge related MS. This school-based, cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence and distribution pattern of mood swings on personal determinants and contextual determinants among Thai youth. Questionnaires were provided by using smartphone to determine demographic data, personal determinants: family history of mental problems, bullying involvement, social media use, and substance use and contextual determinants: family structure and circumstance and school location. The participants were students (2,598) in high schools (1,382) and vocational schools (1,216) in Bangkok and central region of Thailand. Multi-stage stratified random sampling and the classroom cluster were used to determine the sample size. Analysis of variance, odd ratio, and hierarchical multiple logistic regression models were used for analysis. Results showed the prevalence of mood swings was 26.4%. It was most frequent among students in the vocational schools in Bangkok area (37.1%). The bivariate analysis showed a significance difference of distribution of MS on personal and contextual determinants. The distribution of MS could be found in adolescents who had risk behavior and residing in hazardous situation. The probabilities of MS in aged 15 - 24 years were: bullying involvement 36.9% (n=1,293), problematic social media use 55.9%(n=127), high expressed emotion in family 36.6%(n=1,256), and studying in vocational program 29.5%(n=1,216) and school located in Bangkok 32.4%(n=561). Also, substance use was probably a risk to MS such as cannabis 41.8%(n=55) and heroin 48.0%(n=25). In addition, the current study found significant hierarchical logistic regression analysis of female, family history of mental problems and illness, bullying involvement, problematic social media use, illicit substance use, high expressed emotion in family. Finally, an interaction between vocational program and metropolitan/ urban area impacted on mood swings (p < .05) when all included variables were controlled. The final model showed acceptable fit (X 2 =398.53, df=20, p=.106). Findings of the study indicate that the pattern of mood swings was associated with significant bullying involvement, problematic social media use, illicit substance use, family circumstance and school characteristics. The public need greater awareness of mood swings pattern and its alternative implications of MS screening. Moreover, early intervention for prevention of mental illness is needed.

    The development of a support system for undergraduate students with visual impairment in higher education institutions
    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2016) Tam Jatunam; Teeradej Chai-Aroon; Pimpa Kachondham; Pairuch Borvornsompong
    The purpose of this research was to examine the current support services available for students with visual impairment, the essential needs to support the students with visual impairment as well as the policies in supporting students with visual impairment in the model higher education institutions. The research participants consisted of 227 students with visual impairment, 46 Members of staff, and 5 university administrators. The research instruments included two sets of questionnaires: one for students with visual impairment and another for the staff, and a interview schedule for university administrators. For data analysis procedure, descriptive statistics were used in analyzing general quantitative data, cluster analysis employed in categorizing the participants into three groups, while content analysis and coding approaches were performed in examining qualitative data. The findings showed that: (1) The current support services available for students with visual impairment could be classified into three groups: high support system (HSS) medium support system (MSS) and low support system (LSS) capability to accept students with visual impairment. All three groups had high capability to provide financial and social support, and had medium capability to provide friendly physical environment. (2) Students with visual impairment had five essential needs and were able to access support services in five domains including social support, financial support, friendly physical environment, testing accommodation, and general support from staff. (3) Regarding policies, the university administrators had approved the policies of the Higher Education Commission by establishing the disability support service centers, and disability support services were included as a part of educational quality assurance of the universities.

    Deliberative policy model for conflict resolution in water management
    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2018) Apinya Tissamana; Somsak Amornsiriphong; Nopraenue Sajjarax Dhirathiti; Ratthasirin Wangkanond
    This research studies the process of deliberative policymaking in environmental conflict resolution concerning water resources in conflict areas in Thailand and constructs a deliberative policy model for water management in order to arrive at an efficient model which will reduce conflicts in this area. Qualitative research methodology was used, employing a qualitative data analysis tool, the MAXQDA program, for analyzing deliberative water management policy models in Thailand. The study reviews relevant literatures and case studies concerning deliberative policy-making processes for conflict resolution relating to water management, and pursues desirable mutual agreements regarding water management in Thailand. It is very necessary to apply the concept and theory of the deliberative public policy in state and non - state action plans to ensure effective participation in public policy with availability, equality and fairness. The deliberative democracy is the preparative stage of the extensive discourse and discussion in decision making. When people come together on a common stage to discuss their common environments, people learn the value of an ecological environment while reflecting on the concept and their actions so as to accelerate the process of change, especially in the joint consideration of new alternatives after the deliberative process. The area of study in this research covers some administrative sections of the Royal Irrigation Department, which operates under the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives. These administrative sections have direct responsibilities related to water management, deliberative policymaking process and the stakeholders of the policies. The case studies chosen in this research consist of two irrigation project sites: 1) The Kraseaw Irrigation and Maintenance Project in Dan Chang district, Suphanburi province,Thailand, and; 2) The Chonlahan Pichitra Irrigation and Maintenance Project in Klong Dan district, Samutprakarn province. These two irrigation projects are exceptionally successful cases of local water management in which deliberative policy-making processes were used to reduce conflicts in water management, hence, suitable for being case studies in this research - especially Kraseaw Irrigation and Maintenance Project, which received a participatory water management award from United Nations. The results reveal that the Joint Management Committee for Irrigation (JMC) of the Kraseaw Irrigation and Maintenance Project in Dan Chang district, Suphanburi province, has greater success now that the deliberative process is employed. The important finding in the case study of the Chonlahan Pichitra Irrigation and Maintenance Project, Samutprakarn province was that two-way communication is necessary in informal and formal peace talk processes in deliberative water management policy. Recommendations from this study include a public policy and implementation process based on the deliberative model, or on discussions with the people of the society regarding their lives and routines, with the expectation that this may improve society and life - especially in conflict resolution in water management policies in Thailand.
