title: MASSMO 4 project ocean glider and autonomous surface vehicle data.

description: The MASSMO 4 dataset DOI includes data collected by 6 submarine gliders (National Oceanography Centre and University of East Anglia (UEA) assets) and 1 waveglider (Waimea). The dataset includes recovery versions of data downloaded from the all gliders with no quality assurance applied and fully quality controlled data for the gliders that were operated by UEA. No quality control procedures have been applied to waveglider data. Parameters observed include, temperature, salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence, optical backscatter, and oxygen. The dataset was collected within the UK sector of the Faroe-Shetland Channel, focussing on the outer shelf and upper shelf. The work area had a bounding box of 58-62 degrees north and 2-9 degrees west. The MASSMO 4 campaign was run between 1st June 2017 until 7th June 2017 while platforms were deployed they were collecting data continuously. The dataset was collected using a mixture of three autonomous surface vehicles and eight submarine gliders. Glider sensor suites included CTD, bio-optics, oxygen optodes, and passive acoustic sensors. Additionally the surface vehicles were equipped with meteorological sensors and cameras. Waveglider data are in raw csv format. Data that has been quality controlled are in Matlab .mat formats with PDF reports on data quality. The raw csv data from Slocum gliders are in ASCII fomat documented at https://github.com/kerfoot/spt/wiki/Slocum-Glider-Data-File-Primer. The mission comprised a range of oceanographic data collection, but had a particular focus on passive acoustic monitoring of marine mammals and oceanographic features, and included development of near-real-time data delivery to operational data users. Passive acoustic data, video data, turbulence data, image data, and raw binary versions of glider data are available upon request. MASSMO 4 was co-ordinated by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in partnership with University of East Anglia (UEA), Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS). The mission was sponsored by Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and involved close co-operation with the NATO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) and UK Royal Navy, and was supported by several additional commercial, government and research partners.

title: Development of activated carbon from coffee residue for gold extraction

description: The activated carbon was prepared from the disposed coffee residue by atmospheric pyrolysis and activated with zinc chloride. The obtained activated carbon was characterized by surface area analysis and found to have the surface area and the pore diameter of 355 m2.g-1 and 1.9 nm respectively. These activated carbons were subsequently modified by impregnation with ammonium thiosulfate (ATS). Various parameters were optimized around the preparation and utilization of this modified carbon for gold extraction in both batch and column methods. The maximum sorption capacity of gold derived from Langmuir adsorption isotherm was approximately 129.27 mg.g-1. The adsorption of gold by the modified sorbent was relatively free from interference ions commonly found in gold jewelry waste. The sorbent was subsequently packed into a larger scale column and used for the extraction of gold from real jewelry wastes and successful recoveries of gold (&gt;90%) were achieved.

title: The NAFLD fibrosis score : a prognostic predictor for mortality and liver complications among NAFLD patients

description: Background: The prognostic indicators for long-term outcomes of non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients have not been well studied. We aimed to validate the NAFLD Fibrosis Score in the Thai NAFLD population and to assess whether the severity of liver fibrosis estimated by the NAFLD Fibrosis Score can predict the mortality of patients with NAFLD in long-term follow up. Methods: We divided our study into 2 phases; the first phase is a cross sectional study to collect 115 Thai NAFLD patients prospectively during 2007-2010 in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH) to validate the NAFLD Fibrosis Score. The second phase is a historical cohort design by using the existing data of NAFLD patients diagnosed during 1980 and 2000 drawn from the Rochester Epidemiology Project to analyze. Of 479 patients with NAFLD, 302 patients were included. We used the NAFLD Fibrosis Score for separating NAFLD patients with and without advanced liver fibrosis. Results: According to the first phase study, 115 Thai NAFLD patients with mean age of 50.5 ± 12.4 years were included. Seventy seven of the Thai NAFLD patients (67%) were in a group of low risk of advance fibrosis by using NAFLD Fibrosis Score. Advanced fibrosis was shown in 15 (13%) patients. Using the ROC curve, the NAFLD Fibrosis Score at baseline of &gt;-1.5 was used for predicting significant liver fibrosis with a sensitivity of 53%, specificity of 70%, PPV of 21% and NPV of 91%. For phase 2 study, a total of 302 NAFLD patients (mean age 47.3 ± 12.9 years) were followed-up for an average of 11.9 ± 3.9 years. A low probability of advanced fibrosis (score

title: The UDD movement and political reform discourse :|bthe desecuritization of Thai politics within The Public Relation Department English website

description: Arguably, the Copenhagen School and the theory of Securitization has mainly been applied or linked to western driven security issues within International Relations such as immigration, drug trafficking, global warming, global war on terror amongst others. As such, much criticism has been directed towards its Eurocentric upbringings. However, despite these comments, securitization has also started to gain its presence outside of western Europe. This paper attempts to gauge as to how might the theory be applied in the context of Thailand. Political movements (Yellow, Red, Multicolour) in Thailand have remained a fixture in public debate and on the political agenda since 2005. The paper investigates if there has been a Desecuritization of the Red Shirt movement within official media between the end of the violent demonstrations of May 2010 to the end of September 2011. As such, it focuses on how securitization/desecuritization has affected human rights, specifically vis-a-vis Thailand’s adherence to the ICCPR during the post protest period. Given the specific time period of the study, the paper aims to draw comparisons as well as contrasts between the Ahbisit and Yingluck administration. As such, the case remains both a test case to the Securitization theory’s underlining assumptions on political and security dynamics and logics as well as to provide a different angle to Thailand’s ongoing political conflict and its development.

title: The role of technology in working women's empowerment : a case study of female Isaan workers in Bangkok

description: The story of female Isaan workers in Bangkok is likely well known. Many of these women come from backgrounds of poverty and limited education, and migrate to Bangkok in search of better economic and potentially better social opportunities. The role that ICT plays in empowering these women may not be as well known. ICT has the ability to help these women acquire new skills and access knowledge previously unavailable to them. ICT further allows them to build and maintain social networks and to improve their self-confidence and outlook for the future. Using the framework of Sen’s Capabilities Approach, this study examines the expansion of capabilities and the achievement of new functionings for these women in a variety of areas, as seen through the personal narratives of these women. In spite of the many benefits of ICT4D, these women still face many obstacles in their development, particularly in the areas of formal education and with regards to family and work obligations. This paper examines these shortcomings, and provides recommendations for addressing them. Recommendations include the creation of new financial incentives to motivate these women to continue their education (including financial incentives for the employers of these women to provide them the time to needed to study) as well as recognized certifications (which are currently used in the technology field) that could be used in lieu of experience by these women when seeking new employment.

title: Educational accreditation for Karen displaced persons/peoples : a case study in a temporary shelter area along the Thai-Burmese border zones

description: This thesis is concerned with the fulfillment of the right to education for displaced persons from Burma in Thailand, more specifically with accreditation as an essential part of the right to education (UNESCO/IIEP, 2008). For not only does accreditation work towards the fulfillment of the right to education but it also entails that the received education is recognized by a nation-state that guarantees that said education fulfills quality standards defined by the respective government. One of the recent efforts towards this goal entails the accreditation of schools in temporary shelters along the Thai-Burmese border by the Thai Ministry of Education. These schools are managed and administered by the shelter community along with non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations, without involvement by the Thai government so far. Consequently, the shelter curriculum is not based either on the Burmese or the Thai national curriculum which means that the education that students receive in the shelters is not recognized outside of their community. The thesis investigates the different stakeholders involved and their respective roles in the accreditation process, their view on the quality of the curriculum currently used in the shelters and the correlating challenges posed to accreditation. The paper argues that the right to education comprises an educational process including decision-making, content and outcome which is incomplete unless education is officially accredited. The research methodology employed is qualitative, interviewees and key informants were selected through snowball sampling. The research shows that while a host of different stakeholders are involved and needed to fulfill the requirements for accreditation by the Thai Ministry of Education, the power and authority to at last grant said accreditation lies solely with the Thai MoE. Challenges to the accreditation process are posed through the fact that the displaced persons in the shelter have not been included in the discussion. As the Karen displaced persons aim to create a national identity for themselves through their education system, alignment with the Thai national curriculum is rejected by many of them. Moreover, conflicting policies of the Thai Ministry of Interior and the MoE further constrain rather than support the accreditation process.

title: Abrasive wear resistance of hypoeutectic 26 mass% chromium cast iron containing molybdenum

description: Hypoeutectic 26 wt% Cr cast irons without and with Mo were prepared in order to investigate their abrasion wear resistance. The annealed specimens were hardened from 1323 K and then tempered at three levels of temperatures between 673 and 823 K for 7.2 ks, the temperature giving the maximum hardness (HTmax), temperature lower than that at HTmax (L-HTmax ) and temperature higher than that at HTmax (H-HTmax). The abrasive wear resistance was evaluated using Suga abrasion wear test (two-body-type) and Rubber Wheel abrasion wear test (three-body-type). It was found that hardness and volume fraction of retained austenite (Vγ) in the heat-treated specimens varied by the Mo content and the heat treatment condition. A linear relation was obtained between wear loss and wear distance in all specimens. The lowest wear rate (Rw) was obtained in both the As-hardened and the HTmax specimens. The highest Rw was obtained in both the L-HTmax and the H-HTmax specimens. Rw decreased with increasing hardness. In Suga abrasion wear test, the lowest Rw obtained in the specimens with around 10% Vγ. The Rw decreased with an increase in Mo content. In Rubber Wheel abrasion wear test, the lowest Rw obtained also in the specimen with 10% Vγ. However, the Rw was independent on Mo content.

title: The density-based minority over-sampling framework for class imbalanced problems

description: A dataset embodies the class imbalanced problem when the target class has a very small number of instances relative to the other classes. A trivial classifier typically fails to predict the positive instances due to its tiny size. In this thesis, the density-based minority over-sampling framework is proposed. It relies on a density-based notion of clusters and is designed to over-sample an arbitrarily shaped cluster discovered by the density-based clustering algorithm. In detail, my framework generates a synthetic instance along the shortest path from each instance in a cluster of a minority class to the pseudo-centroid of this cluster. Consequently, a set of the synthetic instances is dense near the pseudo-centroid and is sparse far from this centroid. Due to the distribution of the set, a classifier faces more emphatically around the core region than it does around the border region. The experimental results show that my framework improves accuracy, F-value (combination term of Precision and Recall), and AUC of a classifier more than SMOTE and Safe-Level-SMOTE.

title: Transnational seasonal labour migration and development : lives of Thai berry picker returnees from Sweden

description: Previous research has acknowledged that labour migration have had huge benefits for both receiving and sending countries of migrant workers. Thai migrants seasonally traveling to Sweden to pick wild berries have been an ongoing trend since the past two decades. Simultaneously there has been a drastic decline of Swedish labour in the wild berry picking industry. Since the year 2000 there has been an increasing number of Thai berry pickers; in particular rural people from the North-east parts of Thailand. It has been recognized that migration and development are interdependent processes which profoundly influences one another, where migration policies nowadays are developed to take on a development approach. This qualitative research examines the relationship between transnational seasonal labour migration of berry picking in Sweden and the development of the Thai farmer’s living standards in terms of social and economic conditions, and employment. This research contribute with knowledge about Thai migrant berry pickers and fill the existing gap of research made on Thai migrant berry pickers in relation to international labour migration and development. The study seeks to make recommendations on how the seasonal migration of berry picking should be managed and facilitated by the Thai and Swedish Authorities to have a positive outcome. This study is focused on Thai migrant berry pickers from the province of Phetchabun in the sub district of Bueng Krachap and is based on migrant berry pickers who have travelled to Sweden annually. The study presents a unique community of Thai migrant berry pickers who have managed to obtain an income to their distinct measured up to almost 12 million baht per berry season. Interviews with five governmental officials and two organizational representatives and focus group interviews with sixteen migrant berry pickers were the primary source of the data collection. The findings from interviews concluded that the seasonal migration of berry picking have contributed with positive to the Thai migrants living standards in terms of becoming a valuable source of employment and income, acting as an economic security in terms of bad harvest and environmental destruction and nurturing social relationships between migrant berry pickers and their family members.

title: Heterogeneity of Thai stock reaction to U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank monetary policy announcements

description: This paper analyzes the impact of Fed’s and ECB’s monetary policy announcements on Thai stocks. For the Fed’s effect, I find that a 1% unexpected cut of Fed fund rate associates with 4.25% increase in SET index. Further evidence also shows substantial degree of heterogeneity in reaction of stocks in different sector and stocks with different characteristic. The most sensitive sector to Fed’s surprise is the financial sector, followed by industrials, resources, and property and construction. These sectors’ reaction is highly responsive because they are cyclical and capital-intensive sector, in which their product demand and source of fund are interest-sensitive. For the stock characteristic, CAPM beta is a factor of heterogeneity in reaction; the low-beta group is less responsive than the middle-beta group. This finding suggests that U.S. monetary policy is a risk factor in Thai equity market. Furthermore, the reaction of Thai stock market to Fed’s surprise is not asymmetry across different state of U.S. economy. Thai stock reacts to Fed’s surprise only in the period of U.S. recession. For the ECB, I find no significant reaction on SET index, neither on sector level. The only characteristic that seems to affects stock reaction is the export dummy. In comparison to the none-export firms, export firms reacts in more negative way to unexpected increase in ECB’s policy rate. As a decrease in interest rate stimulate world aggregate demand, demand for export also increase.

title: Viruslence factors of avibacterium paragallinarum isolated form chickens in Thailand

description: Avibacterium paragallinarum causes infectious coryza in chickens, an acute respiratory disease that has economic significance in worldwide poultry industry. The objectives of this study were to determine the serovars, antimicrobial sensitivity, pathogenicity, virulence of capsular extraction, lipopolysaccharide and outer membrane protein extraction of Av. paragallinarum isolated from Thailand. Eighteen field isolates of Av. paragallinarum were confirmed by PCR. Serotyping by a hemagglutination inhibition test, 10 isolates were serovar A, 5 isolates were serovar B, and 3 isolates were serovar C. The susceptibility of the isolates to 17 antimicrobial agents was tested by a disk diffusion method. All isolates were susceptible to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and lincospectin. Most strains were resistance to streptomycin and erythromycin (&gt;90%). All isolates were resistant to cloxacillin, lincomycin and neomycin. A study of bacterial entry into, and survival within, chicken macrophages showed variation between isolates but no clear connection to serovar. A virulence test was performed by challenging 4 weeks old layers via the nasal route with 400 µl of bacteria (108 colony forming units/ml). Clinical signs were observed daily for 7 days and the birds were subjected to a post-mortem necropsy at seven days post-challenge. All 18 field isolates caused the typical clinical signs of infectious coryza and could be re-isolated at 7 days after challenge. There was no significant difference in the clinical scores of the isolates except that two isolates of 112179 and 102984 belonged to serovar A and B, respectively, gave a significantly higher score than isolate CMU1009 (serovar A) did. No correlation between serovar and severity of clinical signs was found. The virulence study of capsule, OMP and LPS extraction at concentration 1000 µg/egg via yolk sac route, LPS of virulent isolates Av. paragallinarum could cause chicken embryo death whilst OMP and capsule could not.
