    Assessing governability of environmental protected areas in Phetchaburi and Prachuap Kirikhan, Thailand
    (2015) Suvaluck Satumanatpan; Ratana Chuenpagdee; Mahidol University. Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies
    Environmental degradation continues in Thailand, despite the establishment of several environmental protected areas (EPAs) since their inception in 1992. EPAs aim to promote the conservation and sustainability of natural resources through... decentralization and improving the participation of local governments and communities. Not all EPAs are successful, however. The purpose of this paper is to examine factors affecting the implementation of the EPAs program in Thailand, using the Phetchaburi

    and environmental sustainability, and thereby to the livelihoods of the Mekong communities. Stakeholder participation is an integral part of integrated approach on water resources management, which the Mekong River Commission (MRC) adopted in its Strategic Plan 2006... development of the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB). This paper aims to provide overview of lesson learned for the BDP practice which was held during 15-16 October 2009 in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Mekong River Basin is international trans-boundary basin and has spanned

    Bacterial Contamination in Raw Shucked Oysters in Shucking Houses and Retail Shops in Chon Buri Province,Thailand

    Oysters may be cross-contaminated with bacteria from an unsanitary shucking process and sale. Hence the aims of this study were to compare bacterial contamination in samples of shucked oysters from aseptic shucking, in shucking houses, and in retail shops in Chon Buri Province, and to investigate bacterial contamination in samples from surface areas of equipment, the fresh water used in the shucking process, and oysters processed for sale. Analysis of variance was performed after a logarithmic transformation of bacterial counts was conducted. The results revealed that counts of total bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, and fecal coliforms in aseptically shucked oysters, were significantly lower than those same measurements in freshly-shucked oysters (p < 0.01, = 0.01, < 0.01, respectively) and in packed-shucked oysters (p < 0.01, < 0.01, < 0.01, respectively). About 90-100% of the shucking equipment was contaminated with total bacterial counts higher than acceptable limits, both before and during use. Fresh water exceeded the standards for total bacteria and coliforms in all samples, both before and after washing. The 40% of unwashed and 50% of washed shucked oysters exceeded the standard for total bacteria. The results indicated that bacterial contamination in these samples may be a consequence of unsanitary cleaning, storage, and handling of equipment and fresh water, including improper temperature controls during oyster processing and sale.

    Blood cockle shell: an agro-waste for N and P removal of shrimp farm effluent
    (2013-06) Mothinee Aopreeya; Chumlong Arunlertaree; Chumporn Yuwaree; Rattana Boonprasert; Rungjarat Hutacharoen; Rungjarat Hutacharoen; Mahidol University. Faculty of Environment and Natural Resource Studies
    This research investigated the removal efficiency of burned (activated) blood cockle shells (BBCS) of the total nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) effluent from shrimp farms, in comparison with novel activated charcoal (AC) and natural (unactivated) blood cockle shell (grinding, NBCS). All shell types (BBCS, NBCS) performed well as adsorbents The removal efficiency varied with shell particle size and effluent flow rate. The shell particle size of BBCS at 0.85-2.0 millimeters had the highest removal efficiency of total N and P at 86.66% and 87.63%, respectively. The best flow rate of effluent for N and P removal efficiency through adsorbency were 300 ml/hour. Moreover, the equilibrium model study for adsorption isotherm of BBCS performed better fitted to the Langmuir model in nitrogen removal, and to both Langmuir & Freundlich model in phosphorus removal. Our findings indicated that the higher surface area and larger average pore size of the adsorbents as BBCS (Bunauer, Emmett and Teller method: BET) produced more N and P removal efficiency than the lower one as NBCS.

    Effects of pregnant mothers’ work on first-year infant deaths in a Thai prospective cohort
    (2014-01) Tiwarat Tor. jarern; Yothin Sawangdee; Rossarin Gray; Aroonsri Mongkolchati; Guo, Guang; Mahidol University. Institute for Population and Social Research; Mahidol University. ASEAN Institute for Health Development
    This study examines the relationship between mothers' work and infant death in Thailand. It estimates the survival probability at a given time using data from a prospective cohort study of Thai children during 2000-2002. A cohort of 4,245 infants...- and post-natal maternal and child health services, especially in the late and post-neonatal periods. Such measures would save infant lives and lower the infant mortality rate for Thailand.
