title: The impact of censorship on Thai films industry

description: Thai films had been censored since the implementation of the 1930 Film Act because the authority wanted to control the contents carried in each films. Mechanism for censorship had included strict control law, direct government, military or police force control over the broadcast media including films, and the use of economic and political pressure. The censorship board at present continues to operate according to that Act, where theatre owners must submit films that they plan to show in their theatres to the Film Censorship Board for review. The board was assigned to examine films for its harmful content before the mass screening and may ban films if its requirements that portions of the film to be removed are not met. Reasons for censoring films include violating moral and cultural norms and disturbing the public order and security. This thesis found that Thai films industry has been constantly developed in the past decade in terms of technology being used and the scale of production. However, the weak plot, acting problems, rationality and limited plots are still the main problems of Thai films. Moreover the majority of Thai films are still occupied with old popular genres like action flick, comedy and horror. The censorship board had been to a certain extent blamed for framing a very limited freedom for directors to make his film. Many of the sensitive issues has been forbidden to be the plot or even mention in Thai films such as religions and politics in order to maintain social stability as they claimed. Thus it resulted in the imminent decline of the improvement of Thai films. They said the problem with the censorship board is that people in the board lack the understanding of arts and film making process.

title: Factors relating to urinary iodine concentration of pregnant women in Thailand

description: This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess factors relating to urinary iodine concentration (UIC) of pregnant women in Thailand. Subjects were delivered at government hospitals in 8 provinces. These were selected from 29 provinces included in the surveillance system for iodine deficiency in pregnant women of the Ministry of Public Health during 2005-2007. There were 2 provinces from each of the 4 regions of the country i.e. north, northeast, central, and south. There were 800 subjects, 100 from each province. Around 65 percent of them (531 subjects) used iodized salt as iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) prevention measure. Median UIC was 9.19 μg/dl. Only 14% of pregnant women (112 out of 800 subjects) had appropriate UIC (in the range of 15.00 – 24.99 μg/dl). 69.5% of pregnant women (556 out of 800 subjects) had UIC less than adequate level (15 μg/dl). Iodine concentration in household salt was measured by test kit (I-Kit) developed at Mahidol University. 68.1% of household salt samples (545 out of 800 samples) had iodine concentration in the range of 30–100 ppm. Relationships between UIC and independent variables were analyzed. In bivariate analysis, both salt iodine and use of iodized salt for IDD prevention were statistically significantly positively associated with UIC (p&lt;0.001). There were also significant differences by region and province. Region and province had statistically significant relationships with UIC (p&lt;0.001). However, in multivariable linear regression analysis, only region and province achieved significance (p&lt;0.001). UIC was higher in the southern region than in other regions. Study findings suggest that IDD prevention measures in Thailand should be reconsidered. To be effective, these measures should be appropriate to Thai culture and also local cultures of each region of the country. In general, fish sauce and a wide variety of food can be produced to be iodine sources for Thai people. However, appropriate sources of iodine intake for pregnant women should be studied further. The data in this study were subject to uncertainty, so further research is needed before policies are changed. For further study, UIC of pregnant women and UIC of children should also be evaluated for association.

title: Effects of artrazine on the early development and gonad development of rice field frog Hoplobatrachus rugulosus (Wiegmann, 1834)

description: Amphibians have declined dramatically in many areas around the world. Agrochemicals and chemicals contamination to the environment are also considered as a disastrous causes of amphibian declines. Atrazine, a triazine-herbicide is the most commonly used herbicide in the world and probably in Thailand. Atrazine is generally applied in rainy season when amphibians are congregating and preparing for the breeding. Therefore, frogs either in the agricultural fields or the adjacent wetlands could be exposed to atrazine. This study designed to determine the effects of atrazine on the embryonic and larval development in the rice field frog Hoplobatrachus rugulosus (Wiegmann, 1834), a common frog species in Thailand. The study was divided into 3 parts. The first part was to determine the normal embryonic and larval developmental of H. rugulosus to find out each time of developmental stage for the following experiments. The second part was to determine the effects of atrazine on early development of H. rugulosus. The early embryos at mid-blastula were treated with the ecologically relevant nominal concentrations i.e. 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 10, 100, and 1,000 ppb using FETAX protocol for 96 hours. The result shown that the nominal concentrations of atrazine used in this experiment did not cause significant statistical effects (p&lt;0.05) such as mortality rate, snout-vent length and developmental abnormalities, even though certain abnormalities i.e. tail flexure and abdominal edema were found in all treatment groups (except 0.01 ppb). The last part was to determine the effects of atrazine on gonad development and later developmental stages. The early embryos were treated with the nominal concentrations of atrazine i.e. 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 10, 25, 100, and 1,000 ppb, respectively. The embryos were treated with atrazine until the animal completed metamorphosis. The results showed that the nominal concentrations of atrazine did not cause any effects to the metamorphosis and gonad development of H. rugulosus (p&lt;0.05). In conclusion, it is suggested that pure atrazine at the ecologically relevant concentrations were not capable of causing direct effects to H. rugulosus development in laboratory condition.

title: Infection of avian influenza virus (H5N1) isolated in Thailand using tracheal culture

description: Avian influenza (AI) is caused by nfluenza type A (H5N1) virus. The virus causes severe disase and death in several avan and mammalian speces. The objective of this study was to investigate the ablity of swne and chicken tracheal cultures to support highly pathogenc avian influenza (HPAI) viral replicaton. Three HPAI viruses isolated from chicken (A/chicken/Thailand/CU-K2/04), duck (A/duck/Thailand/CU-328/07), and tiger (A/tiger/Thailand/CU-T7/04) in Thailand was used to nfect the swne and chicken tracheal culture. Results indicated that in contrast to swine tracheal culture, chicken tracheal culture can support chicken and tiger virus replication. This finding correlates with previous studies indicatng that pig's had low susceptibiity to HPAI infecton. The immunoghistochemistry staining and histopathological study confirmed the HPAI infection as tracheal epithelium necrosis and exfoliation were observed. Nucleotide and amino acd sequences analysis from specific locations on HA, PB1 and PB2 genes from the pre and post-tracheal infection indicated that there were no genetic changed. The results of this study suggest the possibility of using animal tracheal culture as a model to further studying HPAI to better understand the mechanism of infection. The information gained from these types of studies can be supporting data for future prevention and control of HPAI infection.

title: Cloning and sequencing of 3ABC gene of foot and mouth disease virus type O from a Thai pig isolate from Ratchaburi province in 2005

description: Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is an important epidemic disease of swine in Thailand. It causes negative effect on swine production and also creates export trade restriction. Consequently, the economic loss is enormous in swine industries. The major type of Foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) found in Thailand and has been recently isolated from an outbreak in 2005 is FMDV type O. To control this disease is to distinguish the naturally infected swine from the vaccinated ones. In this study, viral RNA was extracted from vesicular fluid and erosion tissue found in coronary band of hoof in FMD infected pigs from Ratchaburi province in 2005. The first strand of FMDV-cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcription reaction. FMD Type O was confirmed by PCR technique using the O-1C124 primer set. Then, the full length of 3ABC gene was amplified by using PCR technique. The PCR products of 3ABC gene were cloned into pET160/GW/TOPO® vector. In addition, the nucleotide sequences were analyzed and compared with previously reported 3ABC nucleotide’s databases. The results showed that five clones of 3ABC expression vectors were successfully collected (1,303 bp). As a result, phylogenetic tree analysis of 3ABC nucleotides revealed that this gene of FMDV type O isolated from pig in Ratchaburi province in 2005 had 100 % homology to those of FMDV type O strain Tibet /CHA/99 (Genbank accession number is AJ539138).

title: Berry-esseen bounds for random sums of non-identically distributed random variables

description: Let X1,X2, . . . be independent random variables with mean zero and finite third moment and N a positive integral-valued random variable such that N,X1, X2, . . . are independent. In this work, we use a concentration inequality approach of Stein’s method to establish uniform and non-uniform Berry-Esseen bounds for random sums X1 +X2 + · · · +XN in the case that X1,X2, . . . are not necessarily identically distributed random variables.

title: Origin of the structural relaxation in ice V and the H/D volume isotope effect

description: Ice V is disordered monoclinic polymorph of water ice, with a complex structural topology. In our work on ice V (recovered to atmospheric pressure at liquid-nitrogen temperatures) we have observed a structural relaxation we believe is due to a change in the orientational order of the water molecules. To test this hypothesis, we propose to measure high-quality structural datasets from both the un-relaxed and the relaxed forms of D2O ice V using high-resolution neutron powder diffraction. Our earlier work also showed that ice V exhibits negative linear expansion along its c-axis, a property we believe to be correlated with anomalous lattice expansion due to isotopic substitution. Since these isotope effects have proven so challenging to predict computationally, experimental verification of these correlations are essential, and we propose also to measure high-resolution data from H2O ice V.
