    by which progress and learning can be assessed. We worked out and tested in the field self-assessment questions through participation techniques and meetings with a number of stakeholders among local coastal management projects in Thailand. The prime... stakeholders comprise community members, local government officers, and coastal management managers. More senior levels of government need to be involved in the progress assessment as well, as they potentially have the capacity for making policy changes

    was conducted to obtain the adsorption capacity data and study the factors affecting the (131)I removal efficiency. Furthermore, the column experiment evaluated the possibility of (131)I removal from the urine in the dynamic system under different concentrations... of AC and NH3-AC to obtain the adsorption capacity and isotherm. Column experiments were conducted with (131)I synthetic urine concentrations of 0.06, 0.03, and 0.015 mCi/mL under 25°C and 37°C to determine the removal efficiency of AC and NH3-AC

    OBJECTIVES: To evaluate and determine the value of monitoring models developed by the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Research Unit and the East African Consortium for Clinical Research, consider how this can be measured and explore monitors... and transparency. In terms of practice the primary purpose of monitoring was defined as improving the conduct of health research and increasing the capacity of researchers and trial sites. CONCLUSIONS: The models studied utilise internal and network wide

    Cross-protective capacity of Japanese Encephalitis (JE) vaccines against circulating Heterologous JE Virus genotypes
    (2013-01) Erra, Elina O.; Askling, Helena Hervius; Sutee Yoksan; Rombo, Lars; Riutta, Jukka; Vene, Sirkka; Lindquist, Lars; Vapalahti, Olli; Anu Kantele; Mahidol University. Institute of Molecular Biosciences
    Current Japanese encephalitis vaccines are derived from strains of genotype III, yet heterologous genotypes are emerging in endemic areas. Inactivated vaccines given to European travelers were found to elicit protective levels of neutralizing antibodies against heterologous strains of genotypes I–IV.

    Use of Agricultural Residues to Remove Iron from Groundwater in Modified Airlift Aerator
    (2019) Thanakrit Neamhom; Mahidol University. Faculty of Public Health. Department of Environmental Health Science
    This work investigated groundwater iron adsorption capacity from rice husk, rice straw, water hyacinth and coconut shell, agricultural residues commonly found in Thailand. This study also investigated the adsorption behavior... using an appropriate isotherm model in the batch process. The process was conducted using a modified airlift tray aerator. The use of a single adsorbent plate in a modified aerator obtained a removal capacity in the range

    The Cambodia Research Consortium: expediting research for malaria elimination with the emergency response to artemisinin resistance framework
    (2016) Canavati, Sara E.; Harriet L. S. Lawford; Fatunmbi, Bayo S.; Dysoley Lek; Rithea Leang; Samphor, Narann Top; Dondorp, Arjen M; Rekol Huy; Kazadi, Walter M.; Mahidol University. Faculty of Tropical Medicine. Department of Clinical Tropical Medicine
    This commentary offers insight into how to best address barriers that may hinder the translation of malaria research findings into policy. It also proposes viable methods of implementing these policies in Cambodia. Currently, a wide range of malaria research is being conducted by in-country stakeholders, including Cambodia’s National Programme for Parasitology, Entomology and Malaria Control’s (CNM), non-governmental organizations, and academic institutions. Coordinating research amongst these partners, as well as within the Ministry of Health, is a challenge. Results are rarely disseminated widely and seldom inform programme and policy decisions. CNM and its research partners have severely limited access to each other’s databases. This lack of accessibility, timeliness, engagement and cooperation between CNM and its partners greatly impacts overall research efficiency in this field, and is stifling innovation both within and beyond CNM. Cambodia has set a goal to eradicate all forms of malaria by 2030. As countries approach the elimination phase, there is a greater need for sharing research-generated evidence amongst partners, in order to ensure that appropriate and impactful activities are conducted. The Cambodian Research Consortium was established to serve as a framework for partners, stakeholders and researchers to share research projects, information and results, and to promote the goals of CNM. The sharing of malaria research results will help to inform prevention, control and elimination activities in the country. It will also determine and address the country’s operational research needs, and could potentially become a framework model to be used in other countries aiming to transition from malaria control to elimination.
