Managing knowledge work and work performance: An empirical study of higher education in Thailand
No full text"This research focused on individual behaviour, in the context of communities of practice, and the understanding knowledge management (KM) activities that influence individual, team, and organisational performance. A higher education related environment was selected to test the proposed hypotheses because of the many knowledge work settings and work performances that are available in this context"--Abstract
Implementing a Cutting-Edge Recycling Web Application for Sustainable Progress in Tha Pho Sub-district: Empowering Residents and Recycling Industry Partners
No full text This article explores the integration of circular business practices into sustainable digital entrepreneurship in Tha Pho district, Phitsanulok province, addressing local waste management challenges through a design thinking approach. By considering the local context, cultural nuances, and technological infrastructure, the study aims to create a user-friendly and effective platform. The design process involves prototyping, allowing for iterative feedback and customization through rigorous testing with community members, stakeholders, and waste management entities. This ensures that the platform meets local requirements and motivations, encouraging participation, collaboration, and sustainable digital practices. The goal is to foster engagement, promote sustainable behaviors, and utilize local resources to create an environmentally conscious digital landscape in Tha Pho. The study highlights the significance of user-centered design in developing efficient solutions for sustainable recycling practices. The research findings demonstrate high satisfaction with the NUZeroWaste Web application, with students giving an overall score of 4.00 and university outsiders rating it 4.42. Key benefits reported include improved accessibility to recycling knowledge, streamlined processes, and real-time feedback. The application also significantly reduced errors and negative feedback, showcasing its effectiveness over conventional methods. Overall, the NUZeroWaste Web application successfully enhanced recycling practices and promoted long-term sustainable behavior, underscoring its potential to address community-specific challenges in waste management.

Exploring the Relationship Among Foreign Direct Investment, Technology Transfer and Economic Growth: A Case of the Lower Northern Region in Thailand
Full text linkPurpose: This article aimed to examine factors determining Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) leading to technology transfer on economic growth in Thailand and to study policies related to foreign investment promotion.
Theoretical framework: The target variables were formed to set up a model specification to estimate the relationship between determinants in terms of technology transfer, FDI, and economic growth of Thailand.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The research scope covered and explored the relevant dataset of each expected variable from 1995 – 2021 and some target companies enquired in 2021. The secondary data included FDI at regional level, Gross provincial products (GPP), the number of establishment enterprises in the province and others.
Findings: The major factors determined FDI included the number of labour, the number of establishments, consumer price index, the value of investment and the number of internet users. These determinants had significant relationship with the GPP. Most entrepreneurs confirmed that technology transfer affected the investment decision.
Research, practical & social implications: The researchers indicated that there was significant relationship among the GPP and other independent variables ;for instance, the number of labour, the number of establishments, the FDI, and the number of internet users. The government plans reflected the investment mechanism and extensively stimulated the region’s development.
Originality/Value: The value of this research confirmed that technology adopted increased productivity in the production processes. The government created the investment promotion through the infrastructure and facilities which would support the area-based regional development.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
