DIGITALIZATION WITH CITIZEN VERIFICATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM: Received:12thJanuary2025, Revised:25thFeb2025, Accepted:16thJune2025, DateofPublication:21stJuly2025
No full textPoverty remains an undeniable social issue that is deeply rooted in the social fabric. The state welfare card policy under the leadership of General Prayut Chan-o-cha was created as guidelines for improving life quality and ending poverty by helping with living expenses, finding opportunities to access public services, and developing vocational training.The state relies on specific identity representations in the neoliberal world in the absence of authentic empirical evidence. Perceptive ambiguities lead to an attempt to create a field of meaning that is static and numerable until it becomes a characteristic that the state can control and predict. The more it is combined with the proof mechanism, the more it is conducive to the growth of capital groups and political networks aggravating international poverty despite repeated suppression. Those uncounted or overlooked by the system are challenged for survival and activities that they are allowed to do. Results are that the state welfare card represents a set of governmental ideas with clear control and determination goals. Poverty and politics remain intertwined, as the card helps societal denizens learn to prove their own poverty and be aware of new rules by which poverty is reduced according to the state perception framework. As a result, the state welfare card is a basis for creating more poverty under the neoliberal drive

EMPOWERING NEURODIVERGENT LEARNERS IN INCLUSIVE CLASSROOMS: A CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING (CRT) PERSPECTIVE
Get PDFThe global commitment to inclusive education under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 4) aims to accommodate the diverse learning needs of neurodivergent learners comprehensively. Conventional teaching methods often underserved the unique learning requirements of neurodivergent learners, such as those with dyslexia. The study examines the impact of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) as an instructional approach, emphasizing the use of culturally relevant learning materials, differentiated and flexible instruction, visual cues, and social emotional learning (SEL) interventions on the academic, behavioral, and social-emotional development of dyslexic learners. Employing a qualitative research design, the study draws on data from classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with teachers and parents to explore how CRT strategies influence learner development. The findings underscore the positive impact of the aforementioned CRT strategies on academic achievements, confidence-building, learner engagement, peer relationships, and socio-emotional growth among dyslexic learners. The implications of the study extend to linking CRT strategies with the broader goals of SDG 4, promoting an equitable and inclusive educational landscape empowering dyslexic learners
EFFECTS OF RECREATIONAL TENNIS PRACTICES ON BODY COMPOSITION, FREE TIME MANAGEMENT AND MOTIVATIONAL PERSISTENCE
Get PDFThis study was conducted to examine the body composition, free time management and motivational persistence of individuals participating in recreational tennis. The sample of the study consisted of administrative staff working at Manisa Celal Bayar University, who voluntarily participated in the study and had never received tennis training before. In the study, pre-test-post-test control group experimental design, one of the quantitative research designs, was used. The experimental study was carried out by forming a study group with a total of 24 personnel (equal number of men and women), 12 of whom were in the control group and 12 in the experimental group. As measurement tools, body composition (data such as body weight, body fat ratios, lean muscle mass and body mass index) were taken with Tanita MC 780 MA brand device. The free time management scale and motivational persistence scale were used as measurement tools. Due to the small number of participants, Mann-Whitney U test, one of the nonparametric tests, was used to observe the differences between the control and experimental groups, and Wilcoxon sequential test was used to analyse the in-group pre-test and post-test data. The relationship between the scales was tested with the ‘Spearman's Correlations’ test. Regarding body composition, it was determined that recreational tennis practices contributed positively to the general health status of the participants. Comparisons between pre- and post-test measurements revealed that the participants showed a significant improvement in using their free time more efficiently as a result of recreational tennis activities. In terms of motivational persistence, it was observed that tennis practices strengthened the participants' determination to achieve their goals. The results of the study show that recreational tennis practices are an important tool that enables individuals to focus on long-term goals and to be resilient against the difficulties they face

INVESTIGATE THE DETERMINANTS OF TAIWAN FIRMS ENGAGE IN OFDI
Get PDFIn recent years, the trend of Taiwan’s OFDI flows shows growing. How to identify the critical factors for local firms to engage in OFDI successfully and rank their priority becomes an important issue. This article employs the DANP method to explore the criteria and their priority of Taiwan’s MNEs engaging in OFDI. The fourteen evaluation criteria are firstly extracted from past literature and are categorized into four groups; then consult with ten scholars/experts who are excellent in international trade; finally, interview with another fourteen senior managers to collect their practical opinions. The research results reveal that The Operation Environment group is the “main cause-factor” while Market Seeking group is the “main effect-factor” among the clusters. Resource Seeking group has the significant relationship with other clusters and locates at the central role among the four groups. This article also distinguishes the industry into two groups: high tech industry and traditional industry. For high tech industry, the top three important criteria are Geopolitical, Industrial Cluster, and Operating Costs; the last three criteria are Market Size, Market Potential, and Partnership. While the top three important criteria for traditional industry are Operating Cost, Labor Availability, and Market Size; the last three criteria are Home Government Polices, Market Potential, and Industrial Cluster. This article also finds that Taiwan’s high-tech industries should emphasize global deployment to mitigate the impact on parent companies when the business environment in host countries deteriorates. On the other hand, Taiwan’s traditional industries should pursue larger markets and lower production costs, as economies of scale are the primary source of their competitive advantage
INVESTIGATE THE CRITICAL FACTORS OF BECOMING A SUCCESSFUL PRODUCT MANAGER
Get PDFSuccessful launching and marketing new products are primely related to the product manager. Therefore, understanding what defines a qualified product manager is crucial for the success of the company. This paper adopts the DANP methodology introduced by Ou Yang et al. (2008), which integrates DEMATEL and ANP, to investigate the criteria and their priority for a successful product manager. We firstly develop four clusters and review the literature of each cluster to extract its related criteria, resulting in fifteen criteria in total; then consult with 10 scholars/experts; finally, interview face-to-face with 10 senior managers to collect their practical opinions. The expected results include: (1) Identify the critical criteria for becoming a successful product manager; (2) Understand the causal relationships among the sets of clusters of successful product manager; (3) Construct the impact-relationship map (IRM) for successful product manager; (4) Rank the importance of each criterion to indicate their priority in a successful product manager; (5) Provide evaluation criteria for companies when they are searching for product managers; and (6) Provide a reference for those who are aspiring to become product managers
BEHAVIORAL SEQUENCE ANALYSIS IN HMEAYC: A STUDY ON INITIATING ACTIONS AND MOVEMENT PATTERNS UNDER MUSICAL RHYTHM ACTIVITIES
Get PDFThis study aimed to analyze the sequential movement behaviors of children within the Holistic Music Educational Approach for Young Children (HMEAYC), focusing on how children initiate actions and follow movement patterns during musical rhythm activities. Specifically, it explored differences in movement behaviors between children with prior music experience and those without. Methodology: Participants were 75 children (43 boys and 32 girls) aged 3 to 6 years from kindergartens in central Taiwan. The researchers utilized video recordings, capturing over ten hours of footage, to observe and code children’s movement behaviors. The coding scheme included six behavior categories: Observation, Execution, Correct Performance, Individual Performance, Abandonment, and Restart. The Social Competence Assessment System for Preschool (SBASP) was also employed to assess participants' social behavior, with a particular focus on self-control, interpersonal interaction, and learning behaviors. Sequential behavior analysis was conducted on the coded data to identify patterns of engagement. Findings: Cluster analysis revealed two distinct behavior patterns. Cluster 1 (n=23) consisted of children with lower prior music experience, characterized by linear and task-focused behaviors. The most significant transition was from Observation (O) to Execution (E) (z = 8.53, p < .001), indicating prompt engagement with tasks but limited reflection or strategy adjustment following mistakes. Children in Cluster 1 often repeated independent actions (IP → IP, z = 2.20, p < .05) without reflecting on errors, highlighting a lack of adaptive learning. In contrast, Cluster 2 (n=52), with more children having prior music experience, demonstrated more reflective learning behaviors. The strongest transition was from Observation (O) to Execution (E) (z = 5.08, p < .001), followed by a notable transition from Correct Performance (CP) to Individual Performance (IP) (z = 3.28, p < .01), indicating that these children engaged in independent task experimentation after initially achieving success. Research Outcomes: Children with prior music experience (Cluster 2) showed greater capacity for reflective learning, using mistakes as opportunities to refine their actions. Conversely, children with less musical exposure (Cluster 1) exhibited limited behavioral flexibility, often repeating actions without adjustment. Future Scope: Future research should explore interventions that foster reflective learning behaviors, particularly in children with limited prior experience in music-related activities. Moreover, longitudinal studies could investigate the long-term impact of music education on children’s cognitive and social development, offering further insights into the role of music in early education
THE COMMON PROBLEMS OF THAI UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS ON ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION ERRORS
Get PDFThai students learn English as an international language. One of the goals for English teachers is to help students to be able to communicate in English. However, many factors are involved such as grammatical structure and vocabulary. Pronunciation is also one of those factors. A limited number of researches on Thai university students’ pronunciation errors could be found with the use of teacher’s observation and interview. Therefore, this study aims to bring those aspects into account. There were 122 Thai university participants in this study. Observation checklist and semi-structured interview were employed. Numbers of frequency and percentage were used for observation data; while coding, frequency, and percentage were used for interview data. The majority of them mispronounced (97.54%). Three major errors were found: (1) ending sounds, (2) stress, (3) starting sounds. The top outstanding finding among the pronunciation errors of most students was that they did not realize that their pronunciations were wrong. One interesting finding was that their pronunciation errors had been much influenced from their high school English teachers whose pronunciations might also incorrect and led to their mistakes in pronunciation in the same way. Additionally, the students’ misperception about English pronunciation in some words make them pronounce wrongly because they understand that the pronunciation of the sounds show professionalism, especially the “R” and the “S” sounds. Then, the findings can be applied to plan for English pronunciation lesson that English teachers can focus on while teaching
