These results can be used for planning new location selection for new urban and cities
The Impact Of China’s Economic Rise On The Ancestor Worship In Thai-chinese Clan Association
Get PDFOn one hand, this paper illustrates after the 1997 Asian financial crisis and signing ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) , China has become Thailand's most influential economic partner. And it drives Thai people to be keen on learning Chinese language. As same time, it highlights the Chinese government attaches great importance to establishing relations with leaders of Thai Chinese communities. By the way of example, this article introduces the Chinese government through various activities drew the leaders of Thai-Chinese communities to China's government side. On the other hand, due to the anti-China anti-communist policy during the Cold War and the impact of Western culture, most young generation Thai-Chinese do not speak Chinese. In addition, actually, Thai-Chinese mainly retain the Chaoshan (Teo Chiew) culture and do not understand Chinese culture. Hence, the young generation of Thai- Chinese are not interested in the ritual of ancestor worship in the Thai-Chinese Clan Association. In other words, the rise of the Chinese economy do not arouse the Thai-Chinese younger generation to pay attention to the ancestor worship in Thai-Chinese clan association

Analysis Of Biofilm Formation Potential As Microbiological Impact On Cooling Tower Of Geothermal Power Plant In Kamojang, Indonesia
Get PDFThe microbiological factors are an important aspect for the geothermal power plant. It was reported in 2005 that microbiological aspects could cause losses of $ 500,000 annually because microbial had the ability to form biofilms attached to the critical components in geothermal, especially pipes and cooling tower so give impacts to bio-corrosion, reducing energy efficiency by clogging hydraulic system, and inhibit heat transfer, hence to decrease the microbiological impacts required a study to test the potential of biofilm formation on cooling tower at Geothermal Power Plant (PT Indonesia Power UPJP Kamojang, Indonesia). The methodology in this research was approached by Total Plate Count (TPC) analysis, biofilm formation analysis, microbial diversity analysis using Shannon Index and morphological analysis using Image-J, Biofilm Coverage Rates (BCR) analysis and statistic test analysis using tukey method. Based on the results of the study showed the value of total bacteria in cold basin in cooling towers one to three (cfu / ml) 5.85 x 102, 3.1 x 102 and 14.9 x 102 with diversity index 2.8355a, 3.7414a and 2.2895a, BCR (%) 49.63a, 30.21ab, 25.59ab and control 13.82b The results obtained required the maintenance process of cooling tower from microbiological aspects to avoid the potential of biofilm formation which resulted in the loss for the company

Factors Influencing Contraceptive Use Among Myanmar Migrant Women In Bangkok, Thailand: A Community-based Survey
Get PDFObjectives: Nowadays, more people are moving residence permanently or temporarily, and international migration is one of the dominant issues globally. During migration, the individuals may experience poverty and unavailability of health care services -- especially for women – and that leads to unmet need for reproductive health and inadequate access to contraception which increases risk of unplanned pregnancy and unsafe abortion. This study explored the level of contraceptive use and associated factors among Myanmar migrant women in Bangkok.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted during March to April, 2018, 314 women were selected by snowball sampling and interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used for data analysis.Results: The prevalence of contraceptive use among women who were living with their husband/partner was 77.1%; oral pills and injection were the most common methods. The sample’s median age was 30 years (QD = 4.5 years), half of the respondents were ethnic Burmese (51.9%), and were covered by health insurance (47.5%). Only one-fourth of the women (25.5%) could communicate well in Thai. Predictors of contraceptive use include being younger than 25 years (AOR=9.6; 95% CI=3.07–31.59), having more than one child (AOR=8.5; 95% CI=2.72-26.37), having a supportive husband and friends, neighbors (AOR=4.9; 95% CI=2.43-10.26, AOR=4.2; 95% CI=1.96-8.89) having easy access to contraception (AOR=3.2; 95% CI=1.50–6.780) and being able to access contraception at local health outlets (AOR=12.9; 95% CI=4.01-41.93).Conclusion: The study suggests that provision of community and workplace education, health care services and initiation of help-lines in the Burmese language may increase visibility of reproductive health services and bridge the gap between the foreign migrants and the Thai public health system. Active male involvement in their partner’s reproductive health is an important source of support

Nanoencapsulation Of Graviola (Annona Muricata L.) Seed By- Products Ethanolic Extract For Breast Cancer Activity
Get PDFBreast cancer is the most second prevalent cancer worldwide and causes high numbers of deaths among woman every year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 8-9% woman worldwide have an affected breast cancer. Annona muricata L. commonly known as Graviola has demonstrated that the seed use of natural products as anticancer agents in breast cancer. The bioactive compound such as flavonoids in Graviola reported exhibiting potent and uncommon selective growth inhibition against of breast cancer. This research to a known formula of nanoencapsulation of ethanolic seed extract of Annona muricata L. Using phytochemical screening, nanoencapsulation method, and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). Phytochemical screening was conducted using qualitative methods to assign the relative abundance of the different phytochemicals. The nanoencapsulation process was using thin layer method to improve functionality as anticancer. The nanoencapsulation size and stabilities of Graviola seed extract are measured by Particle Size Analyzer. Phytochemical screening of the extract revealed that the seed has secondary class metabolite compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, and saponins. The nanoencapsulation process was made using ethanolic extract and maltodextrin with formula 1:1, 1:2 , 1:3 , and 1:4. The result showed nanoencapsulation with formula 1:1 had Z-average 11,1 nm; Pi value 0,187 ; and the stability of nanoencapsulation product have shown by zeta potential -44,4 mV. The data showed that seed extract of Graviola has beneficial properties in alternative medicine for breast cancer
The Effect Of Blended Learning On The Innovation And Information Technology In Education
Get PDFThe objectives of the study were (1) to develop an online learning on innovation and information technology in Education, (2) to compare learners’ learning achievement in both and experimental group and a control group, and, (3) to evaluate the students’ satisfaction towards who studied through the blended learning. The research samples were purposively selected from 30 undergraduate students at the Faculty of Industrial Education, Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi, who enrolled in this course in first semester of academic year 2017. The samples divided into two groups by simple random sampling: the control group of 15 students studied with the conventional teaching method while the experimental group of 15 students studied with the blended learning. The data were analyzed by using mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The result revealed that (1) the efficiency of the online learning on innovation and information technology in Education, was 83.30/80.20, which met the prescribed criterion 80/80 level. (2) The learning achievement of students who studied with the blended learning method was higher than the students studied with the tradition method at the statistically significant level of .05. (3) The students' satisfaction toward learning with the blended learning method was at a highest level
Regional Integration Of Cham Muslims In The Mekong Delta
Get PDFAn Giang province is located in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, recognized as Vietnam’s Mecca for large Muslim population in Vietnam. This paper introduces the root of the Cham (Sunni) Muslims living in this southwestern part of Vietnam. The historical research and documentary research (in which relevant historical documents and articles were selected to review and comment) were utilized in the study. The paper shows some differences between the Cham Muslims in this region and the Hindu Chams (Balamon). More importantly, this paper indicates that the Chams in the Mekong Delta have had more mobile ways of life and a more highly regional integration in the ASEAN Community and a larger Muslim world rather than other Cham groups in Vietnam
