title: Copolymerization of ethylene/1-olefin with mesoporous titania-supported metallocene catalyst

description: Nowadays metallocene catalysts have been interesting both research and commercial. However general metallocene catalysts have had two major disadvantages of homogeneous system that are the lack of controllable morphology and occur fouling in the reactor. To overcome these problems the supported metallocene catalyst system has been investigated and developed continually. Besides this strategy may be less amount of MAO usage and utilized in gas-phase processes. In this study, metallocene catalyst was used for linear low density polyethylene syntheses by ethylene and 1-olefin copolymerization with various surface area mesoporous titania as support. First, mesoporous titanias were synthesized in various hydrolysis ratios (Ti/H2O), and characterized by BET, XRD, SEM. The obtained titania was found that the mesoporous form of titania was obtained in isotherms type IV by BET technique. Anatase phase was detected by XRD and structure of mesoporous titania was seen by SEM. The various suface area mesoporous titanias were impregnated with methylaluminoxane, and then characterized by SEM/EDX, XPS and TGA. It was found that the [Al]MAO distribution on the TiO2 supports was good as seen by SEM/EDX and XPS. The copolymer obtained was further characterized by 13C NMR. The highest activity occurred when the highest surface area of mesoporous TiO2 was employed due to the optimal interaction between the support and cocatalyst as seen by TGA. The copolymer obtained were random copolymer having different triad distribution as proven by 13C NMR.

title: The Effects of recombinant bovine somatotropin and misty-fan cooling system on milk production relating to body and mammary gland glucose metabolism in crossbred holstein cattle

description: Two groups of five crossbred 87.5% Holstein cattle each, were housed in normal shade only (NS) as non-cooled cows and in shaded with misty-fan cooling (MFC) as cooled cows. The cows were supplemented with recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) in early, mid and late lactation with three consecutive injections of rbST 500 mg of rbST (POSILAC) in every 14 days. During the study, ambient temperature at the hottest period daily (1400h) in the MFC barn was significantly lower, while relative humidity was higher than that of the NS barn. The temperature humidity index (THI) in both barns ranged from 77.8-85.5 throughout the periods of study. Cows under the MFC barn showed a lower rectal temperature and respiration rate as compared with cows in the NS barn. Milk yield significantly increased in cows treated with rbST in each stage of lactation. Increases in mammary blood flow and plasma level of IGF-I accompanied with increases in total body water (TBW), extracellular fluid (ECF), blood volume (BV) and plasma volume (PV) in both cooled and non-cooled cows receiving rbST in each stages of lactation. The mean arterial plasma concentrations for glucose, acetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and triacylglycerol were unchanged, while the mean arterial plasma concentrations of free fatty acid increased in both cooled and non-cooled cows supplemental rbST. The net mammary glucose and triacylglycerol uptakes of cows in both groups markedly increased in mid and late stages of lactation. Glucose turnover rates were not significant different between cooled and non-cooled cows whether supplemental rbST or not. The glucose taken up by the mammary gland of both non-cooled and cooled cows increased flux through the lactose synthesis and the pentose cycle pathway with significant increases in NADPH formation for fatty acid synthesis during rbST supplementation. The utilization of glucose carbon incorporation into milk appeared to increase in milk lactose and milk triacylglycerol of both cooled and non-cooled cows supplemental rbST during early and mid lactation but not for milk citrate as lactation advances. Milk yield of both cooled and non-cooled cows without rbST decreased as lactation advanced to late lactation. Local changes for biosynthetic capacity within the mammary gland would be a factor in identification of the utilization of substrates in the rate of decline in milk yield with advancing lactation in both cooled and non-cooled cows. The proportion of glucose would be metabolized less for lactose synthesis, but metabolized more via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway and the tricarboxylic acid cycle as lactation advances whether supplemental rbST or not.

title: Managing immigration of non-EU nationals : the case study of contemporary Britain

description: Self-preserving characteristics of Britain lead to uncertain relations among other member states of the largest bloc of deepening and widening European integration. Since the supranational EU deprives national sovereignty, the British successive governments have reiterated political realism in the international relations. Without the prescriptive Europeanisation of immigration, Britain manages the immigration policy preserving national interest. Until its peak of the economic crisis and pressure of inflows of multicultural faces, economic determinants play a greater role than political determinants in the globalised world. The new five-tier programme in 2009 brings the greatest change in the British history aiming at restricting non-EU nationals both residing in and expecting to enter Britain. “Only immigrants producing large benefits and contributions to economy can enter Britain.” Moreover, the governmental and local authorities challenge positive and negative impacts on Britain such as equal employments opportunities, state welfare, benefits, social cohesion and antidiscrimination. After one year of implementation, non-EU nationals find it ‘firm but not fair’ treatment due to the top priority of British interest. However, consequences of the policy for practically reducing the great flood of non-EU immigrants are anticipated to be effective by British citizens. To understand a comprehensive notion of both the EU and British immigration levels, key terms are analysed and evaluated through policies, academic researches, empirical situations and evidences along the whole chapters.

title: Satisfaction of betel nut chalk for aedes aegypti larva control project, Chaturaphak Phiman district, Roi Et province, Thailand

description: To evaluate the people’s satisfaction levels and identify the factors related to the project “Satisfaction of Betel Nut Chalk for Aedes Aegypti Larva Control Project, Chaturaphak Phiman District, Roi Et Province, Thailand.” Simple random sampling technique was used to take sample survey in Chaturaphak Phiman district with 296 people enrolled in the village area of responsibility. The data was collected using a questionnaire composed of 5 parts including. Demographic data, knowledge, attitude, factor related to the project and suggestion. Descriptive statistics such as percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to describe the data. Analytical statistics were used to analyze the relationships for variables by person’s product moment correlation analysis. The results showed that all participants were Buddhists and the majority of people participating were women (66.2%) with aged between 35 to 39 years old (42.2%). Primary education level was 80.4%. Knowledge and Attitude related to the project were 82.10% and 80.07%, respectively. Satisfaction level was very good (76.35%). The results showed that all participants were Buddhists and the majority of people participating were women (66.2%) with aged between 35 to 39 years old (42.2%). Primary education level was 80.4%. Knowledge was a high level (82.10%) and attitude was a high level (80.07%) respectively. Satisfaction level was very good (76.35%). The result also found that the correlation coefficients of personal characteristics; gender, age, education, occupation, and income were not associated with the project. (r = -.068, .035, .027, .015, and -.154, respectively) While the correlation coefficient of familiarity with the project’s staff was very low for relation. (r = .156) In addition, the correlation coefficient of attitude was related to satisfaction of project. (r =.577) It would be useful to measure the public's satisfaction to the project and the information could be used as a guide to expand the network control of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and studies should be compared to the effectiveness of using betel nut chalk to prevent Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in the future.

title: Effect of the compulsory license on the public provision of the announced medicine in Thailand

description: To have a first field evaluation of the effect of compulsory licensing policy implementation on the access to the announced medicine. This study was a descriptive retrospective study using electronic pharmaceutical prescription data from 3 hospitals in 3 levels of health care settings from the period of 2007 to 2009. Explanatory model was employed to analyze the effect of the compulsory licensing policy implementation on number of patients receiving medicine. In-depth interview was also conducted to explore dimensions of access to medicine that have an effect on the implementation of compulsory licensing policy. Following the implementation of compulsory licensing policy, the number of patients receiving Clopidogrel and Lopinavir/ritonavir has significantly increased by 55.68% and 26.78%. While the number of patients receiving Efavirenz has significantly decreased by 25.86%. This result may be directly related to the policy and indicates that this method is successful in increasing the access to only some particular category of drugs. Type of hospital and health care scheme also has an impact on the access to medicine. Access to medicine may not be an issue in higher level of hospital or employed fee-for-service as its payment method to the health care providers. Quality of compulsory licensed medicine is the factor most interviewee are concerning of. Physician’s perceptions toward the quality of the medicine then have an impact on the access to these medicines.

title: Does it deliver? an analysis of the sustainable development benefits from clean development mechanism (CDM) projects in Thailand

description: Over the last decade a growing consensus has emerged to address climate change, and international agreements on the regulation of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses (GHGs), namely the Kyoto Protocol, have come into full effect. Under the Kyoto protocol, developed countries agreed to reduce emissions of GHGs by an average of 5% of 1990 levels by 2012. Three mechanisms were set up, including the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which allows Annex 1 (developed) countries to source a percentage of their emission reductions within developing countries. The goals of this were to allow countries to purchase emission reductions at the lowest possible cost while contributing to sustainable development in the host country. However, the CDM has come under fire for not living up to its claims. Both the emission reduction claims and sustainable development benefits have been questioned. Each developing country under the CDM sets its own requirements for fulfilling sustainable development requirements that are inline with its development priorities. Thailand has relatively more strict requirements than many other countries, and this study analyzes whether these requirements have contributed to greater development benefits from CDM projects in Thailand. Through analysis of project design documents (PDDs) and interviews with private sector project developers, local stakeholders, and public sector actors, results show that while projects have contributed somewhat to local sustainable development, these benefits are constrained by a number of factors, including their small-scale, market effects, and by policy challenges.

title: Treatment of cutting oil wastewater by coagulation and sono-fenton processes

description: To investigate the applicability of acoustic oxidation, which is an advance oxidation processes (AOPs), on the treatment of cutting oil wastewater that could not be easily treated by conventional processes. The effect of physical parameters which are ultrasonic intensity, temperature, and oil concentration, were determined as well as the enhancement effects caused by the addition of other conventional oxidant as hydrogen peroxide, aeration, and Fenton’s reagents. However, the results showed that acoustic oxidation alone is not effective in eliminating COD from the sample, and Fenton reagents should be added in order to enhance the performance. It is also found the process, known as sono-Fenton, could reduce the COD up to 92.3 percent using 140 g/L hydrogen peroxide and 500 mg/l Fe2+. The amount of required chemical is considerably high but could be optimized using reaction kinetic parameters determined. Additionally, this study investigated the possibility of incorporating advance oxidation processes as the post-treatment of conventional coagulation-flocculation process, which serves two purposes: (1) minimizing constituents in the effluent and (2) reducing chemical usage. In this study, COD of the wastewater was found to be able to reduce from over 2,000 mg/l to the level that is undetectable by the analysis method used in this study. The amount of chemical used is minimal, and the processes could be compared and practically designed on theoretical background.

title: Socio-economic determinants of infant mortality in Monrovia, Liberia

description: This is a cross sectional descriptive study conducted in four geographical locations in Monrovia, Liberia, namely Bushrodrod Island, Sinkor, Central Monrovia, and Airfield respectively to examine the socio economic determinants of infant mortality amongst women who are reproductive in child bearing. A stratified random sampling was use with a sample size of 400. The main findings of this study are, access to health care, unskilled birth attendants, cultural and traditional practices, birth interval, displaced mothers, household condition and crowding, inadequate breast feeding and malnutrition have significant relationship with infant mortality in Monrovia, Liberia. According to the results of this study, infant mortality has a positive relationship with access to health care at 1% significant level, while birth interval has a negative relationship at 1% significant level. In the same vein, cultural and traditional practices has a positive relationship with infant mortality at 1% significant level. Following the same trend, unskilled birth attendants has a positive relationship with infant mortality at 5% significant level while displaced mothers has a negative relationship with infant mortality at 5% significant level. The study also found that household condition and crowding has a negative relationship with infant mortality at 10% significant level while inadequate breastfeeding and malnutrition also has a negative relationship with infant mortality at 10% significant level. Interestingly, the poverty variable turned out to be insignificant, although its coefficient entered with an expected positive sign, which may be due to regional differences as the results by geographic area indicates. These results provide useful clues for the design of future policies.

title: The transfer of expressive meaning in the translation of English intesifiers in to Thai

description: This research explores how the three English intensifiers very, so, and really are translated into Thai through the use of parallel corpus. It aims to study the linguistic realizations used in the translations, the translation strategies, and lastly, how the contextual factors play the role in the translation. A parallel corpus was constructed consisting of 12 English fictions and the Thai translations. In the selection of these fictions, stratified sampling method was used with an aim to test whether the context within the story, i.e. the temporal context (dated vs. contemporary), the participants (upper vs. lower classes), and the types of discourse (narration vs. dialogue), play a role in the translators’ choice of linguistic forms. Interviews were also carried out with three professional translators to compare to the quantitative study of the relationship between forms and contexts. It is found that three linguistic processes were used in translating the intensifiers: the lexical processes which include intensifiers, metaphorical expressions, and deictics; the morpho-syntactico-phonological processes which comprise formal and semantic repetition, negative constructions, and combinatory structures; and lastly the phonological processes in the final particles. The translation strategy most opted for was sense-oriented translation. The findings from the statistic quantitative analyses and the interviews supported the hypothesis that the temporal context, the context of participants, and the types of discourse were the governing factors in the translators’ choices of linguistic forms.

title: Differences in quality of primary and secondary care experienced by the insured and the uninsured : a case study of Kupang municipality, capital of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

description: To analyze the differences in quality of primary and secondary care experienced by the insured and uninsured. The specific objectives are to analyze the differences in quality of care between different type of health insurance and to analyze factor affecting quality of care in primary and secondary care. The quality of care was assessed by the input, process and outcome approach of outpatient care in primary and secondary health facilities. Input of care was assessed by analyzing physician characteristic and perception of patient on the capacity of the physician. The medical procedures, standard treatment and prescribing pattern were used to access the process of care. To evaluate outcome of care patient satisfaction was used as the indicator. For secondary care there were some significant differences between insured and insured. In term of input aspect uninsured patient get service more from specialty physician and cost form provider perspective for uninsured is higher than insured. Regarding process aspect, the percentage conforming to standard therapy of insured patient is higher than the uninsured, the percentage of essential drugs and generic drugs of uninsured are higher than the insured. For outcome aspect the uninsured patients were more satisfied than the insured but the result is not significant. There are five significant variables affecting satisfaction of patient which are cost from provider perspective, waiting time, consultation time, and capacity of physician from perspective of patient and medical procedures. For public primary care there were some differences between insured and uninsured patient. The differences which identified s on private. For private all the respondents are satisfied with the services. In term of process prescribing pattern (such as no of drugs, percentage of generic drugs and antibiotic) and standard treatment have significant different between insured and uninsured. Factor affecting patient satisfaction for public primary care is there are no significant differences between uninsured and insured group for all variable of process. Only one significant variable affecting satisfaction of patient which is percentage conforming standard treatment. This research provides information regarding quality of care under health insurance scheme from different perspectives. Factor affecting the quality of care which have significant result is related with services directly receive by the patients. It means that Government of East Nusa Tenggara province should focus on that matter for improving quality of care and health status.
