title: The relation between bone mineral density measured by calcaneal quantitative ultrasound and bone stress fracture army recruits during basic military training

description: Objective : To evaluate the relation between bone mineral density measured by calcaneal quantitative ultrasound and stress fractures among Thai army recruits during basic military training and to use this device for predicting stress fracture of lower extremities and to study the incidence and risk factors of stress fracture. Study design : Prospective cohort study Setting : 10 army battalions around Phramongkutklao hospital Research methodology : 1,263 new army recruits were enrolled from different 10 battalions in Bangkok. Before 10-week basic military training, their heels were measured by calcaneal QUS and risk factor questionnaires were replied. During training, their musculoskeletal injury was monitored especially stress fracture by military units trainers and researchers. Radiographic examination or either bone scintigraphy were performed in suspect of stress fracture. At the end of training, they informed another questionnaires and took physical examination. Results : The cumulative incidence of stress fracture was 6.57% (95% CI:5.27,8.08) and the incidence rate was 1.22 per 1,000 person-days (95% CI: 0.97,1.51). The Cox proportional hazards model showed that the bone mineral density measured by calcaneal QUS had relationship to stress fracture significantly. The lowest quartile (Q1) of speed of sound (SOS) was significantly related to stress fracture (Hazard ratio (HR) = 3.42; 95%CI: 1.74,6.75 ; p-value&lt;0.001), history of fracture (HR=2.20; 95%CI: 1.15,4.21; p-value=0.017) , heavy smoker (HR=2.08; 95% CI: 1.23,3.50 ; p-value=0.006). The area under the ROC curve of SOS was 61.05% (95% CI: 54.70,67.39). Conclusion : The bone mineral density measured by calcaneal QUS was significantly related to stress fracture. SOS measurement, especially of the lowest (Q1) group including the high risk factors can identify the new army recruits who had the highest risk of stress fracture. The incidence of stress fracture may be reduced by the application for adaptive basic military training to the high risk recruits of stress fracture.

title: Application of data mining techniques to predict internet usage consumption for personal objectives in the work place

description: Internet usage by employees for personal of inappropriate purposes can directly impact the productivity and efficiency of the organization. This translates to lost time, opportunity and money. In this research we use a data mining technique to build an internet usage consumption model by applying two different methods to web server log data: 1) decision trees based upon a C4.5 algorithm and 2) Multilayer perceptrons. The overall results obtained indicate that multilayer perceptrons with the cross validation have higher performance in classifying and predicting employee web browsing habits than decision trees. This data mining technique can therefore be a good candidate for helping organizations make more effective evaluation of their human and computer resources

title: Measurements of serum ceruloplasmin level in patients with different movement disorders

description: Background: Serum ceruloplasmin level is frequently measured in patients with abnormal movements when suspecting Wilson’s disease. Recent evidence suggests the role of ceruloplasmin in the cascades of neuronal damage in Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Objectives: To compare the serum ceruloplasmin levels between patients with non-Wilsonian movement disorders and healthy controls. Methods: The authors obtained serum samples from patients attending Chulalongkorn Movement Disorders Clinic between October 2007 and January 2008 and from healthy blood donors at the Thai Red Cross Blood Bank. The authors studied the serum levels of ceruloplasmin, copper and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT). Results: Among 152 patients and 95 controls, mean age in patient group was higher than controls (58.9±14 vs. 38.2±10.4; p&lt;0.001). Disease entities included: Parkinson’s disease (55%), essential tremor (11%), idiopathic focal dystonia (8.4%), parkinsonism-plus syndromes (8.4%), tardive syndromes (7.1%) and others. The mean ceruloplasmin level in patient group was significantly lower than controls (20.8±4.3mg/dl vs. 23.3±6.2mg/dl; p&lt;0.001). In subgroup analysis, ceruloplasmin levels in Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor were lower than controls (p&lt;0.001). Analysis according to etiologies of movement disorders showed reduced mean ceruloplasmin level in neurodegenerative disorders, but not in other etiologies, compared with controls (p&lt;0.001). Linear regression indicated that female gender and GGT were factors that positively correlate with ceruloplasmin level; but not other factors i.e. age, disease duration. Conclusions: From our cohort, reduced serum ceruloplasmin level in non-Wilsonian movement disorders further supports a pathological role of ceruloplasmin in various movement disorders not limited to WD. Interestingly, ceruloplasmin levels in subgroups of Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and neurodegenerative disorders were lower than controls. Such differential reduction of ceruloplasmin levels might be implemented as part of the diagnostic work-up in clinical practice.

title: Factors associated with unsafe sex behaviors for prevention of HIV/AIDS transmission among Myanmar migrant fishermen in Ranong, Thailand

description: The study was conducted on late February 2009, to describe independent variables (socio-demographic characteristics, condom availability, HIV/AIDS information, peer pressure, drug and alcohol use, HIV related knowledge, attitudes & skills), and to assess any association of these independent variables with the dependent variable (unsafe sex with sex workers) among Myanmar migrant fishermen in Ranong, Thailand. The data was collected using interviewer administrated questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion. The majority of the respondents was in the 26-35 years age group, single, had attained middle school education, Barma, Buddhist, had an income of 4,000-5,000 Baht per month, stayed in Thailand for 1-4 years and never went back home. The mean knowledge score for total respondents was 0.6941. Most of the respondents received HIV/AIDS information and knew where they could get condoms. About 63% of the respondents have had sex with sex workers and 70.7% of them always used a condom when having sex with sex worker. 18.0% of the respondents had casual sexual partners. 40.1% of them always used condom when they had sex with casual partners in the six months previous to the study. In bivariate analysis, The results showed that longer duration of stay in Thailand and earning of more than 5,000 Thai baht, negative attitude towards HIV/AIDS and condom use, and injected narcotic drugs were statistically associated with practice of unsafe sex with sex workers (p-value &lt;0.005). Receiving HIV/AIDS information, known sources of condom, life skills such as refusing undesired sex, pressure to use drug, to have sex without condom and discussing to use a condom were statically associated with safe sex practice in sex workers (p-value &lt;0.005). In multivariate, the results suggest that Age, Duration of stay Thailand, Knew where to get condoms, Refusal to have sex without a condom, and Discussing condom use maintained significant association with unsafe sex while controlling for other independent variables. Given the high prevalence of risk behavior, providing health education together with condoms constantly to this group of Myanmar migrant fishermen in Ranong is crucial. Health education should include teaching life skills such as refusal to have sex without a condom, and discuss to use condoms. The 100% condom use program should be promoted among Myanmar migrant fishermen

title: Duplicate-sampling of difficult-to-classify sheme

description: The multilayer perceptron (MLP) network is applied successfully in solving many pattern classification problems. The famous learning algorithms used to train the MLP network is the backpropagation (BP) algorithm. One disadvantage regarding to the BP algorithm is its lengthy computational time. Therefore, a number of techniques are developed to handle this situation. Most of those techniques are still based on a concept of improving the convergence of the network’s error. In this thesis, we present another view, based on distribution of data and information gain, to solve the time-consuming problem called duplicate-sampling of difficult-to-classify scheme. The proposed technique is designed as an enhancement tool to apply with the standard BP algorithm. The technique utilizes the information gain to split data space into subspaces based on binary splitting of numeric attribute. Data located in the impure subspaces are identified as difficult-to-classify data which are duplicated before starting the BP algorithm. During the learning process, the difficult-to-classify data will be emphasized by the BP learning. The BP learning with this technique requires less computational time to achieve the same or higher accuracy. The experiments performed on eight data sets taken from the UCI repository indicate a computational time improvement. Seven out of eight data sets showed a better result

title: Acquisition of the English article system by Thai learners : an analysis of metalinguistic knowledge in English article use

description: This study investigated metalinguistic knowledge employed by Thai learners when making article choices in given contexts. By examining what rules were most commonly formulated and used in determining English articles, the study aimed to understand whether there were significant discrepancies between the rules and/or explanations upon which learners based their judgments and those that were consistent with linguistic theory. Moreover, in order to better understand the nature of learners' problems at different stages in the evolving interlanguage, the study explored the differences in metalinguistic knowledge between native English speakers and Thai learners at high and low proficiency levels. Thirty native English speakers and sixty Thai students, divided into high and low proficiency groups, participated in the study. Immediately following a fill-in-the-article test, the participants offered reasons for their article choices on a questionnaire. The data were analyzed quantitatively, using descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative analyses were also performed across noun phrase classifications based on Huebner's (1983) model. The results indicate that the metalinguistic knowledge of the high English proficiency group was primarily pragmatically-oriented and more consistent with that of the native English speaker participants. However, as they incorporated too many assumptions to their readings, the high-proficiency students often wrongly judged the references to be part of the assumed hearer's knowledge, and thus they overused the definite article 'the'. The students with low proficiency relied heavily on limited structural cues in choosing articles. As 'the' was more deeply context-dependent, the low-proficiency students often used 'a' wherever possible. It was found that the hypotheses formulated by the Thai students of both proficiency groups varied probably due to the type and amount of input (i.e. language instruction) that the students had received. Some hypotheses were consistent with those of native speakers, while others were not. This resulted in the statistically significant differences in performance on the article test between the two proficiency groups. The 'zero' article was found to be most problematic for both groups of Thai students and was used the least. Furthermore, the Thai students had difficulties articulating a reason to support their choice of the 'zero' article. The findings reveal where article problems in Thai students with different proficiency levels originate. Based on the findings of the study, pedagogical implications are given so that a more effective model could be developed for teaching the English article system to Thai students.

title: Prevalence of cigarette smoking and factors influencing cigarette smoking behavior among adult Myanmar migrant workers in Mahachai sub-district, Samut Sakhon province, Thailand

description: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Mahachai Sub-district, Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand from the end of January to the end of February, 2009. Through the use of PRECEDE model, the main purposes of this study were to identify the prevalence of cigarette smoking and the factors influencing cigarette smoking behaviour among adult Myanmar migrant workers aged between 18 to 59 years old in the study site. The factors influencing on cigarette smoking behaviour were predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors which referred to the fourth phase of the Precede Model. It is the model for health behaviours based on multi-assumptions before designing an appropriate intervention. This study was conducted with 347 samples by using a structured interview questionnaire to gather the data with ethical review COA no.008/2009 issued on 12 January 2009. For data analysis, Chi-square, Fisher’s Exact test and Mann-Whitney U test were used. The results showed that the overall prevalence of cigarettes smoking was 35.2% with 59.2% of male current smokers and 8% of female current smokers. Cigarette smoking prevalence was quite high in adult male. Almost 69.2% of smokers started smoking at age16-20 years old. Smoking behaviour was significant difference with gender (p&lt;0.001) and ethnicity (p&lt;0.05). Nearly half of the respondents (49%) had moderate knowledge about cigarette smoking and harmful health consequences. There was an association between cigarette smoking behaviour and attitude (p&lt;0.05). In terms of reinforcing factors, there was a relationship between cigarette smoking behaviour and acquainted people of the respondents as well as with a designation of smoke-free workplace and living quarter. In accessibility of cigarettes among current smokers as enabling factor, monthly expenditure for cigarettes was association with smoking behaviour among current smokers (p&lt;0.001). These results suggested that awareness-building should be implemented for Myanmar migrant workers to change their behaviour and to complete the linkage of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP). Information about Tobacco Control Laws should be provided to Myanmar migrant workers. The acquainted people, who highly influence on smoking of the respondents, should be informed about smoking hazard and their being the source of smoking. For environmental support intervention, smoke-free workplace and living quarter should be implemented.

title: Corporate cash holdings, earnings management and corporate governance : evidence from Thailand

description: This study aims to investigate the relationship of cash holdings, earnings management and corporate governance during 2002-2007 on 246 Thai listed firms. I use corporate governance index as proxy of corporate governance. This index divided into five sub-indices; board structure, conflict of interest, board responsibilities, shareholder rights, and disclosure and transparency, which capture major aspects of corporate governance. The results show that there is no significant association either corporate cash holdings or likelihood of earning managements with the corporate governance index. However, shareholder rights, one of the sub-indices of corporate governance index, are associated with reduced levels of earnings manipulation. In addition to providing new knowledge for academic field, this study provides a useful platform for practitioners alike in an attempt to eliminate agency problem and improve corporate governance standard in Thailand

title: Comparison of the effect of rabeprazole and omeprazole on antiplatelet action of clopidogrel in patients receiving aspirin

description: Current guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet of aspirin and clopidogrel for patients who have acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) those patients commonly prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to prevent gastrointestinal side effects. The purposes of this study were to determine the effect of rabeprazole and omeprazole on the antiplatelet action of clopidogrel plus aspirin, to investigate the prevalence of clopidogrel nonresponder in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and compare the rate of clopidogrel nonresponsiveness before and after receiving each PPI. All consecutive patients with angiographic diagnosis of CAD were recruited. The study consisted of patients who had taken clopidogrel 75 mg/day at least 5 days and patients who received loading dose (LD) of clopidogrel 300 mg and aspirin 300-325 mg before underwent PCI. All patients were treated with aspirin 81-325 mg/day at least 7 days prior to the study. Exclusion criteria included previous treatment with PPIs within 2 weeks and serum creatinine &gt; 1.5 mg/dl. The patients were randomized into two treatment groups: 20 mg/day of omeprazole or 20 mg/day of rabeprazole for at least 2 weeks. Effect of clopidogrel on platelet aggregation was measured by light transmission aggregometry using ADP 20 M as agonist. Clopidogrel nonresponder was defined as ADP 20 M-induced maximal platelet aggregation (MPA) &gt; 50%. Platelet aggregation test was assessed before and after receiving PPIs for at least 2 weeks. Of 87 patients were enrolled during August 2008 to March 2009, 43 patients took omeprazole while 44 patients took rabeprazole. Overall, 18% were scheduled for elective PCI patients and 82% were stable CAD patients. This study found that concomitant use of omeprazole or rabeprazole in patients receiving aspirin plus clopidogrel were significantly increased platelet aggregation from baseline (32.5% and 14%, respectively) but not significantly different between the two drugs (p = 0.519). Average values of MPA after ADP 20 M stimuli before and after receiving PPIs were 38.53 +- 20.16% and 52.05 +- 19.46%, respectively. There was no significant difference in demographic, clinical characteristics and co-medications between the two groups except for body mass index. This study found high prevalence of clopidogrel nonresponder, 34%, prior to taking PPIs and increased to 59% after receiving PPIs in CAD patients. Univariate analysis, showed that diabetes mellitus to be a risk factor for clopidogrel nonresponsiveness (OR = 2.93, 95%CI = 1.17-7.29, p = 0.019).
