title: Efficiency of Psychiatric Hospital under Ministry of Public Health

description: The objective of this study was to measure the hospital efficiency of psychiatric hospitals under the Department of Mental Health in Thailand in terms of technical and scale efficiency scores and to identify the factors determining the efficiency of hospitals. The data were from sixteen psychiatric hospitals under the Department of Mental Health since 2007 to 2010. The input variables were number of all staff (STAFF) and number of beds (BED) and the output variables were number of out-patient visits (OPD), number of in-patient bed days (IPD), and number of psychiatric nurse trainee (TRAIN). The results of DEA showed that TEVRS or pure technical efficiency score was 84%average (minimum 42%) and scale efficiency score was 85% (minimum 46%). Decreasing returns to scale is the majority cause of scale inefficiency. The regression analysis results showed OPD/STAFF, IPD/BED, average length of stay and psychiatric nurse trainee activity had significant positive relationship with TEVRS. The results suggested for downscaling and re-allocation of inputs. Promotion and support the development of proactive outpatient services were recommended. Last, we should focus more on capacity building of nurse training program in more hospital.

title: Surface treatment of abs using cobalt and nickel solution for electroless plating.

description: This research studied the surface activation of the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) using Co and Ni metal. The parameters affecting the surface activation, namely types and concentrations of activator and reducing agent and reaction time, were studied. This process can be divided by many steps. The first step is to activate the ABS surface using Co and Ni solution. Next step is to reduce metal ions to metal using stannous (II) chloride and sodium borohydride solution. It was found that sodium borohydride solution was quite effective in the reduction of both Ni and Co ions. The results showed the most effective in reduction of metal ions into metals when using 0.5 M sodium borohydride solution at the reduction time of 60 seconds while the stannous (II) chloride solution was not effective. By immersing in a Ni plating bath the Co (or Ni) can then auto-catalytically deposit a Ni film on the ABS. The amount and thickness of Ni coating film was determined by using SEM. It was found that the amount and thickness of the Ni coating film were the highest when using 3 g/L of nickel acetate solution, 0.5 M sodium borohydride solution at 60 s of the reduction time. The characteristics of the coated ABS were checked by tape test according to ASTM D3359, which indicated good adhesion between Ni film and ABS substrate.

title: Cost effectiveness : a comparative study of tuberculosis and multi drug resistance tuberculosis case management with health volunteer and health facility base model versus health facility base plus mobile phone communication by DOTS-Plus strategy in upper north of Thailand

description: Backgrounds : Thailand has implemented of the Directly Observed Treatment Strategy to increase Tuberculosis control program efficacy but could not achieved key TB control program indicators as Indicated by WHO. Objectives : to compare the effectiveness of DOTS-plus strategy with mobile phone and DOTS-plus without mobile phone in upper north of Thailand. Methods : We conducted two TB control models with DOTS-plus strategy in MDR-TB and non MDR-TB group during April 2008 - April 2010 in upper-north Thailand as a control trial study. Model 1 was MDR- and non MDR-TB case management with health volunteer and health facility with DOTS-plus strategy.Model2 was MDR-TB and non MDR-TB case management with health facility with DOTS-plus strategy plus mobile phone. There were at least 19 patients in each arm of MUR-TB group and 30 patients in each arm of non MDR-TB group. We followed the patients 18 and 6 months for measuring the treatment outcomes of MDR-TB and non MDR-TB group. And cost effectiveness was calculated as the average cost per patient treated successfully. Results : The treatment outcome of Model 2 was effective than Model 2 with statistically significantly high success rate of 100% while Model 2 had success rate only 73.7% in MDR-TB group and also had high success rate of 100% while Model 1 had success rate in 96.7%.in non MDR-TB group (p=0.0001,p=0.047). And the total cost of managing a TB patient to treatment completion of model 2 was lower than Model 1 in both MDR-TB and non MDR-TB group. The higher cost was the cost of laboratory labor, volunteer payment and specimen transportation. It was high about 4.6 time of MDR-TB group and 2 time of non MDR-TB group. The CE ratio reflecting the cost benefits of both MDR-TB and non MDR-TB group in negative territory with CE ratio minus 14.6 in MDR-TB group and minus 5 in non MDR-TB group. Conclusions : In summary ,This paper describes our experiences with DOTS-Plus by mobile phone and the successful outcome suggests that DOTS-Plus by mobile phone is feasible ,affordable and cost effectiveness to extend application of process to area having high MDR TB rate.

title: Incidence and risk factors for development and persistence of musculoskeletal symptoms in spine in undergraduate students : a 1-year prospective cohort study

description: To examine the annual incidence of development and persistence of self-reported neck, upper back and low back pain and to explore individual, computer-use related and psychosocial risk factors for the development and persistence of neck, upper back and low back pain in undergraduate students. A prospective study was carried out among 684 healthy undergraduate students. At baseline, a self-administered questionnaire and a standardized physical examination were used to collect data on biopsychosocial factors. At the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th months, follow-up data were collected on spinal pain. The regression models were built to find out risk factors for the incidence and persistence of spinal pain in undergraduate students. A total of 524 (77%) undergraduate students were followed for 1 year. The 12-month incidence rates of neck, upper back and low back pain were 46%, 27% and 30%, respectively. The 12-month persistent rates of neck, upper back and low back pain were 33%, 23% and 31%, respectively. The incidence rate of spinal pain was related to gender, quadriceps muscle length, frequency of weekly exercise session and computer-use related factors in undergraduate students using desktop and notebook computers. The persistent rate of neck and upper back pain was related to being 2nd year students, neck extensor muscle endurance and computer-use related factors in undergraduate students using desktop and notebook computers.

title: Development of supervibration-photocatalytic reactor for treatment of lignin and 2,4-dichlorophenol in pulp and paper mill wastewater

description: The photocatalytic degradation of lignin and 2,4-DCP in wastewater was studied using a newly developed supervibration-photocatalytic reactor based on photocatalytic process combined with a supervibration agitator. The effects of operating parameters as initial pH, UV intensity, vibration frequency and initial concentration on treatment of lignin and 2,4-DCP were investigated, focusing on removal efficiency to determine the optimum treatment conditions. This work also studied kinetic reaction for degradation of lignin and 2,4-DCP and extended to identify by-products of lignin and 2,4-DCP degradation. Wastewater samples used in the experiments consisted of lignin synthetic wastewater, 2,4-DCP synthetic wastewater, mixed synthetic wastewater containing lignin and 2,4-DCP and real wastewater from pulp and paper mill. From the results obtained, removal efficiencies of lignin and 2,4-DCP in all types of wastewater were similar pattern. High UV intensity and vibration frequency in a low initial pH and initial concentration increased removal efficiencies of lignin and 2,4-DCP. The optimum operating conditions of a supervibration-photocatalytic reactor for treatment of lignin and 2,4-DCP were found to be initial pH 5, UV intensity of 25.2 mW/cm² and vibration frequency of 50 Hz. For lignin synthetic wastewater, under the optimum treatment conditions, removal efficiency of lignin (100 mg/l) and color were 85.12% and 70.55%, respectively within 420 min. The apparent rate constant of first order reaction (Kap) and the initial degradation rate (r₀) for lignin degradation were 13.9 x 10-3 min⁻¹ and 1.39 mg/l min-1, respectively, after 120 min. The analysis of residue by GC-MS showed the presence of some lignin derivatives such as vanillin. In the case of 2,4-DCP synthetic wastewater, under the optimum operating conditions, 2,4-DCP degradation (0.5 mg/l) was completed within 60 min. The kap and r0 were 56.3 x 10⁻³ min-1 and 28.2 x 10⁻³ mg/l min⁻¹, respectively, after 30 min. The by-products detected by GC-MS were phenol, 2-chlorophenol and 4-chlorophenol. The degradation pathway of 2,4-DCP was also proposed. For mixed synthetic wastewater containing lignin of 400 mg/l and 2,4-DCP of 5 mg/l, the reactor could simultaneously remove lignin, color and 2,4-DCP under the optimum conditions with the efficiencies of 76.21%, 60.75% and 97.13%, respectively, after 420 min. Furthermore, removal efficiencies of lignin, color and 2,4-DCP in pulp and paper mill wastewater under the optimum conditions were 75.11%, 52.16% and 94.14%, respectively in the same time.

title: Verification of image registration for the commercial treatmetn planning systems

description: Image registration is essential in treatment planning and position verification for highly radiation conformal delivery methods. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of image registration in Varian Eclipse V. 8.6.17 and Oncentra V. 3.2.303 treatment planning system (TPS). Then the suitable image registration method of mutual information and match point between planning computed tomography and cone beam computed tomography are observed for 20 head and neck cases. The image registration verifications were performed in 2 TPSs using ImSim commercial QA software. The three set of images from ImSim commercial QA software, which the first one was stationary, the second set was 5, 10, 15 degree rotation and the third set was 5, 10, 15 mm translation in X, Y, and Z axes, were imported to Eclipse and Oncentra TPSs. The registration was made between the stationary and moving images. The registration errors were observed for mutual information and match point registration algorithms in each TPS. Then the planning CT image and cone beam CT image for 20 head and neck patients were registered on the Eclipse TPS by the mutual information and match point methods. The position shifts by the two methods were compared and evaluated with those registered optimization by radiation oncologist. For the registration of ImSim phantom, the Eclipse TPS shows slightly better registration than Oncentra TPS. The mutual information method demonstrates slightly less registration error than match point method, because pixel by pixel is used for mutual information while 4 points is selected for the match point registration method. The ImSim QA software can check both translation and rotation with no influence of setup position compared with the phantom or patient study. The registration error is increased when moving set is rotated &gt;5 degree for all axes. For cone beam CT registration with planning CT of head and neck patients, the mean deviation from registered optimization by radiation oncologist for mutual information method are 2.02 ± 2.00 mm and 0.82 ± 1.16 degree and for match point method are 3.05 ± 2.92 mm and 1.31 ± 1.35 degree. The mutual information also shows superior image registration than match point method. From the result the mutual information and match point methods can assist the medical oncologist to optimize the image registration easily and reliably without image misalignment.

title: Effects of chameleon scalar field on rotation curves and gravitational lensing of the galaxies

description: We investigate the effects of chameleon scalar field on the effective density and effective pressure of a dark matter halo. Since the density from the scalar field is far smaller than the mass density of dark matter, we cannot see the effects of the chameleon scalar field on the deflection angle of light in the galactic scale. However, the fifth force from the chameleon experienced by the dark matter could modify the rotation curve of galaxies. We found that the fifth force makes the slope of rotation curves steeper around the center of galaxy for any dark matter profiles starting from the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) to the pseudo-isothermal (ISO) profile. The coupling constants of matter-chameleon from the rotation curves of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies are constrained by 95% C.L. where the strongest constraint comes from ISO profile (≈10⁻³). Moreover, we demonstrate that the thick-shell non-singular boundary condition which forbids singular point leads to extremely stringent constraint on the matter-chameleon coupling (≲10⁻⁷) when applied to galaxy.

title: Density of states of electrons in weak random potential in two dimensions

description: We study density of states of electrons in weak Gaussian potential model distributed randomly in the two dimensional system by the variational path integral method. The Fourier transform of Green function is separated into two parts, each part can be described as two dimensional systems with different energy range. We found the new variational method to combine two parts of the density of states with continuous and smooth slope. We observed that the frequency of the system from this method does not differ much from the other methods, and we also discussed the shifting of the Fermi-level by the impurity effect.

title: Linking user acceptance and user resistance : the role of attitude in enterprise resource planning implementation phases

description: User resistance is known to be a great obstacle of information system implementation. Thus, previous information system researchers have continued investigating the influence of user resistance on user acceptance. The literature has shown that the resistance phenomenon can weaken behavioral intention to use a system. But when the system usage is mandated, symbolic adoption appears to be a better dependent variable of the Technology Acceptance Model. This study aims to examine the link between user acceptance and user resistance in a mandatoryusage context. Two attitude constructs (attitude towards system usage and resistance attitude) were conceptualized to determine the level of user acceptance and user resistance and, subsequently, empirically tested for their relationships with theoretical antecedents. The effects of these two phenomena on job-related outcomes were examined as well. Survey data were collected from three large stateowned enterprises in Thailand dealing with Enterprise Resource Planning implementation at different phases. Results of data analysis provide support to the asymmetric negativity effects such that user resistance negatively affects user acceptance and its influence on job-related outcomes, but not vice versa. The findings broaden the theoretical explanations on the linkage between user acceptance and user resistance, and also offer practical insights for managing change from Enterprise Resource Planning implementation.

title: Comparison of mean serum progesterone levels and luteal period following anestrous bitches implanted with GNRH agonist, deslorelin, short or long-term

description: To investigate the effect of short or long-term GnRH agonist deslorelin implantation on duration of luteal period and serum progesterone concentrations in bitches. Eighteen healthy anestrous bitches and two fertile male dogs were used in this study. All bitches were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group 1 (n=4), bitches received 4.7 mg deslorelin which was removed at the first day of estrus. Group 2 (n=6), received 4.7 mg deslorelin which was removed at the end of experiment. Group 1 and 2 were mated and inseminated during estrous period and detected pregnant by ultrasonography. The same protocol as group 2 was used for group 3 but without insemination. And group 4 (n=4), bitches process a spontaneous estrous cycle which were used as control. All bitches were examined for the stage of estrous cycle by physical and behavioral signs, vaginal cytology and serum progesterone concentrations on required dates. Statistic analytical process using ANOVA for evaluated a mean interval of day in luteal period (mean±SEM) in each group. Mean concentrations of progesterone were analyzed using descriptive statistic. The results showed that all bitches came into estrous stage and ovulated except 1 bitch in group 3. Mean diestrous period in group 3 (31.7±2.7 days) was significantly shorter than group 1, 2 and 4 (56.3±3.1 days, 45.3±5.0 days and 54.8±1.7 days, respectively) (P&lt;0.05). Progesterone profiles in group 1 and 2 resemble natural estrous dogs. Mean serum progesterone concentrations in group 3 exhibited a low peak and premature declined compared with other groups. Three bitches in group 1 and 2 were found to be a pregnant. All pregnant bitches in group 1 had a normal pregnancy and whelping. In group 2, 2/3 pregnant bitches started aborting on day 51 and 53, respectively and aborting was completed within 3 days. In conclusion, the results of this present study clearly revealed that short-term implantation of 4.7 mg deslorelin in anestrous bitches is effective and practical method for estrous induction. Bitches processed normally estrous cycle as natural cyclic dogs if the implants were removed at the first day of estrus. In contrast, long-term implantation to generate contraception produced premature luteal failure, resulting shortened diestrus or interrupted pregnancy but this effect may be incomplete. Therefore, a mating in flare-up period should be avoided.

title: Dataset: Parallel Implementations Assessment of a Spatial-Spectral Classifier for Hyperspectral Clinical Applications

description: Hyperspectral (HS) imaging presents itself as a non-contact, non-ionizing and non-invasive technique, proven to be suitable for medical diagnosis. However, the volume of information contained in these images makes difficult providing the surgeon with information about the boundaries in real-time. To that end, High-Performance-Computing (HPC) platforms become necessary. This paper presents a comparison between the performances provided by five different HPC platforms while processing a spatial-spectral approach to classify HS images, assessing their main benefits and drawbacks. To provide a complete study, two different medical applications, with two different requirements, have been analyzed. The first application consists of HS images taken from neurosurgical operations; the second one presents HS images taken from dermatological interventions. While the main constraint for neurosurgical applications is the processing time, in other environments, as the dermatological one, other requirements can be considered. In that sense, energy efficiency is becoming a major challenge, since this kind of applications are usually developed as hand-held devices, thus depending on the battery capacity. These requirements have been considered to choose the target platforms: on the one hand, three of the most powerful Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) available in the market; and, on the other hand, a low-power GPU and a manycore architecture, both specifically thought for being used in battery-dependent environments.
