title: MICROPROPAGATION AND CAMPTOTHECIN PRODUCTION OF OPHIORRHIZA HARRISIANA BY TEMPORARY IMMERSION BIOREACTOR

description: Ophiorrhiza harrisiana is a plant which produces camptothecin (CPT) in its roots and leaves. CPT is a precursor in the synthesis of chemotherapeutic drug. Since this plant is an herb that is found in particular location and season, conservation and propagation of this plant species are needed. The objectives of this study were to propagate the plant in two tissue culture systems including conventional method (CM) and temporary immersion bioreactor (TIB), and to study its potential in CPT production. O. harrisiana cultured by CM on semi-solid medium containing 1/2 MS supplemented with kinetin 4.6 µM showed the highest average number of shoots with 15.4 shoots per explant. When the plant was grown by TIB, multiple shoots could be induced on 1/2 MS medium without any plant growth regulator. When comparing between CM and TIB, it was found that the number and length of the shoots derived from TIB were about 4.4 and 1.4 times higher than those from CM, respectively. The CPT content of O. harrisiana was analyzed in four plant sources including natural source, CM, TIB, and soil-cultivated plant. The results showed that the highest amount of CPT was observed in both leaf and root of the plant from TIB cultures which were 521.79 and 316.55 µg/g dry weight, respectively. In conclusion, the plant grown in TIB can be propagated to obtain higher number of plantlets than CM and produce the highest amount of CPT among other plant sources. Therefore, TIB can be a suitable system to be used as an alternative method in the production of chemotherapeutic drug in the industrial scale and in the conservation of this plant from extinction.

title: ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT ON GOOD PHARMACY PRACTICE REGULATION IN COMMUNITY PHARMACY

description: Objectives of this study were to explore the current situation of community pharmacies in order to comply with the Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) regulation and to evaluate the economic impact in terms of cost-benefit of the Ministerial Regulation on Application and Issuance of License to Modern Pharmacies from societal perspective. The data was obtained from self-administered questionnaires sent to Type I pharmacy owners during July–September, 2014, excluding the accredited pharmacies, and from the published literature and expert opinion. The result showed that pharmacy owners are ready to implement 19 standards of place and equipment within one year, ten standards within two years and other nine standards within three years. There are only one standard related to extemporaneous preparation, need 3.5 years to be ready. The result showed that the total 8-year cost was $1,317.90 million dollars (48,639.61 million baht) and total 8-year benefit was $3,672.34 million dollars (136,027.69 million baht). Net present value (NPV) and benefit to cost ratio were $ 2,087.79 million dollars (68,458.75 million baht) and 2.78 benefit:cost, respectively.The one-way best case and worse case sensitivity result presented that the net benefit ranged from -$856.14 million dollars to $20,815.45 million dollars (– 28,072.91 to 682,538.71 million baht). Cost per case of Drug-Related problem (DRP) and number of DRPs in community pharmacies were an important factor which might contribute to an impact on net benefit. The implementation of this regulation seems to have provided positive financial return on investment to Thai society. The results support the policy decision maker that immediately implement the GPP regulation was cost-beneficial. In addition, if the policy maker takes into account for the readiness of the pharmacy owners, implementing the regulation can be extended for the pharmacies that opened before the issuing of this regulation but should not be later than 3.5 years.

title: EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF GINGER EXTRACT NANOPARTICLES RELIEVES PAINS IN KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS

description: Background: Ginger ( Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is one of the most common used for treating osteoarthritis. The studies reported to contain the active compound namely,6-gingerol were evaluated anti-inflammatory action. However, the major adverse event of oral ginger is heartburn and gastrointestinal disturbances and due to poor absorptions, rapid metabolism and elimination of active ingredient. Objectives: An evaluation of the efficacy and safety of ginger ( Zingiber officinale Roscoe) extract nanoparticles were used for treatment of the knee OA. Material and Methods: A randomized, double-blind, active controlled was conducted at Tha Chang Hospital, Singburi Province between May and October 2014. One hundred and twenty patients between the age of 50-75 years with knee OA, based on American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria, were randomized into two groups applying 5%w/w ginger extracts NLC and control 1%w/w diclofenac gel for 12 weeks. The efficacy of treatment was monitored at 4, 8, and 12 weeks by using the WOMAC OA composite index, KOOS and PGA.The t-test was used to compare the mean scores at baseline in each group. Repeated ANOVA was used to compare the mean scores and Chi-square test was used to compare the dichotomous variables between two groups at 4, 8 and 12 weeks. The safety of ginger extract NLC was proved by laboratory tests after 12 weeks of treatment. Results: One hundred and eighteen participants completed the study. Both ginger extract NLC and diclofenac gel could significantly improve knee pain, stiffness, physical function and PGA of treatment in 12 weeks. In the repeated ANOVA, there were no differences in the results between these two groups.The response rate of 5%w/w ginger extract NLC was significantly greater than 1%w/w topical diclofenac [40/59(67.7%) vs. 27/59(45.7%) p&lt;0.05] with at least a 50% reduce in pain. There were no serious adverse events or abnormal laboratory values. Conclusion:Ginger extract nanoparticles relieves joint pain and improves problematic symptoms and improves the quality of life in knees OA during a 12 week treatment with no different to 1%w/w diclofenac gel group.

title: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTENSIVE HEALTHCARE WASTE MANAGEMENT MODEL (IHWMM) REGARDING INFECTIOUS HOSPITAL WASTE AT TERTIARY CARE HOSPITALS OF RAWALPINDI PAKISTAN

description: Infectious waste management has always remained a neglected public health problem in the developing countries, resulting in high burden of environmental pollution affecting general masses. Health workers are the key personnel who are responsible for the management of infectious waste at any hospital, however, their proper training and education is must for an optimal performance. This interventional study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Intensive healthcare waste management (IHWM) training model at two tertiary care hospitals of Rawalpindi city, Pakistan. This study was quasi-experimental pre and post design with control and intervention groups. Out of 275 health care workers enrolled for the study, 138 workers were assigned for intervention group for 3 months trainings, hands-on practicum and reminders on infectious waste management; whereas 137 workers were assigned to the control hospital where routine activities on infectious health care waste management were performed. Pre and post intervention assessment was done for knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP); and was statistically analyzed. Bivariate and multivariate analysis, independent, paired and unpaired t-test, chi-square with p values, and mean of the responses were calculated. Overall the response rate was 92% at the end of intervention. During the baseline survey, 275 healthcare workers (HCW) included doctors, nurses, paramedics and sanitary workers, and after 3 months of intervention, 255 were reached out to complete the questionnaire. With regard to KAP at baseline, there were no significant differences between two groups at baseline, except for gender and department. However, in the post intervention survey, statistically significance difference (&lt;0.05) between intervention and control group’s knowledge, attitude and practices was found. Moreover, within the control group no statistically significant difference was reported (&gt;0.05) after 3 months. Study concluded that IHWM training model has proved to be an effective intervention for improving knowledge, attitudes and practices among health workers regarding infectious waste management. Such training should become a regular feature of all hospitals for reducing the hazards attached with infectious wastes.

title: THE RISE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THAILAND: A STUDY OF YOUNG THAI SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS

description: This thesis aims to study the rising trend of social entrepreneurship in Thailand and particularly draw attention to young Thai social entrepreneurs to understand factors that drive and influence them into the social entrepreneurship sector and their social entrepreneurial behaviors. The thesis uses both qualitative and quantitative research methods by conducting questionnaire survey and interview from August 2014 – February 2015. The data was obtained from documents, questionnaire survey with a sample size of 31 by snowball sampling technique, and interview of young Thai social entrepreneurs and related people as key informants. The survey was conducted both in person and online. The online questionnaire links were distributed to young Thai social entrepreneurs via electronic mail and social media. Findings of the research reveal the demographic information and featured characteristics of young Thai social entrepreneurs. They have both high levels of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and empathy self-efficacy, which lead to their social entrepreneurial intention. However, the effect of role model on their intention is not significant. Their intention to be social entrepreneurs emerged when they were college students or employees and the high level of needs such as self-actualization motived them to finally establish their own social enterprises. Their friends and peers play important role in young Thai adults’ social entrepreneurial activities. They are dealing with various social problems such as education inequality, career preparation, poverty and so on across diverse sectors with the use of focus strategy of their social enterprises. According to the findings, the exposure and closeness to the social problem of young Thai adults have a close relationship with the identification of their social enterprises’ opportunities. Furthermore, although facing many barriers, young Thai social entrepreneurs have high level of job satisfaction. Lastly, related competition or contest is very important to promote the public awareness of social entrepreneurship in Thailand.

title: SIAM - MYANMAR RELATIONS FROM THE 16TH TO THE 19TH CENTURY THROUGH THE PERSPECTIVE OF AYEDAWBON TREATISES

description: Previously, Ayedawbon is little known to outside scholars. In the field of Myanmar-Thai relations, most scholars pay much attention to Chronicles but they conveniently forget Ayedawbons. In fact, Ayedawbon treatises are a mine of information for scholars of Myanmar and Thai studies. This thesis first introduces Ayedawbon treatises to Thai scholars as well as international academic circle. This thesis surveys seven Ayedawbon treatises and provides a translation of excerpts involving Myanmar–Siam warfare. It covers 5 periods ruled by successive dynasties of Myanmar kings: Pinya and Innwa period, corresponding to the period of the reigns of the early kings of Ayutthaya and Lanna, Taungoo period, corresponding to the period of the reign of King Maha Chakkraphat until King Naresuan, Nyaung Yan period, and Konboung period which corresponds to that of King Ekathat. If all these Ayedawbons combined, they registered the continuous events from 1284-1760, thus providing uninterrupted history for the scholars of both countries. This thesis exposed many unknown historical facts which we have never found in Myanmar chronicles and other sources. It contributed to the better understanding of histories between Siam and Myanmar. The study also found out many significant historical events, attitudes and ways of thinking of the authors of Ayedawbons which is somewhat related to the celebrated concepts of Cakravartin (king of kings) and mandala (sphere of royal influence). This study will be a good example of using one of Myanmar literary forms in the field of Thai Studies. It opens a new perspective for both Thai and outside scholars. Besides Ayedawbon treatises, there are a variety of genres in Myanmar literature such as Eigyin, Mawgun, Pyo, etc. They are little studied and there was no one who tried to use these materials for wide-ranging research on Siam-Myanmar relations. Research work on these existing materials would yield to valuable results.

title: GCA-Biological Fe(II) and As(III) Oxidation Immobilizes Arsenic in Micro-oxic Environments

description: the objectives of this study were as follows: (i) to discern the effect of arsenic speciation on the abundance and distribution of microaerophilic FeOB, (ii) to investigate microaerophilic microbial Fe(II) oxidation processes and the products of arsenic immobilization, and (iii) to explore the mechanism of As(III) and As(V) immobilization during microaerophilic microbial Fe(II) oxidation in micro-oxic paddy soils. Soil samples from a paddy field in southern China were used as the inoculum to enrich microaerophilic FeOB using gradient tubes with FeS as the Fe(II) source. The cell growth, Fe(II) oxidation, and chemical speciation of arsenic were determined, and the biogenic minerals were characterized using Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The changes in the composition and abundance of the microbial community caused by different treatments were profiled over time using 16S rRNA gene-based high-throughput sequencing. Furthermore, the microbial As(III) oxidase genes associated with the different treatments were examined quantitatively in real-time (qPCR) to evaluate the microbial As(III) oxidation.The raw data.xlsx contains the all raw data from Figure 1 to Figure 6 in manuscript. The genomic datasets are submitted to NCBI. You can use BioProject ID and accession number to download the data if you want (the ID and number are provided in manuscript and Raw data.xlsx).

title: Estimation and Analysis of Multivariate Jump Diffusion Models with Jump Clustering and Contagion Effects

description: Extreme negative equity return across markets during financial crisis is one of the main concerned topics in the financial world. When such unexpected events occur, the adverse effect tends to trigger further losses and spreads over to other markets. This research develops a novel financial model that tries to capture these jump clustering and contagion effects. The model is developed to handle a large number of assets. Based on empirical evidence on developed and emerging markets from weekly data since 1999 to 2014, we find that jumps in developed markets have negative means whereas the means of jumps in emerging markets are mixed. Arrivals of jumps in both markets slightly increase their jump intensities. The jumps from the developed markets cause a higher contagion effect to the emerging markets than jumps from the emerging markets do to the developed markets although stochastic jump intensities are not statistically significant. The developed markets are more integrated among themselves whereas correlation among the emerging markets are low. Based on daily data of the United States and Latin America markets from 1999 to 2015, we find the evidences on jump clustering and jump contagion effects along with their jump asymmetries. The United States market reacts more to unexpected movements in the Latin America market than the Latin America does to the United States market. The model provides the distribution of the jump intensities given the past information on returns, which can be useful for applications in risk management and asset allocation.

title: EFFECT OF NITRITE AND NITRATE ON THE REMOVAL OF PROFENOFOS BY VACUUM ULTRAVIOLET

description: This research investigated effect of nitrite and nitrate on the removal of profenofos (organophosphorous pesticide) in water using vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, wavelengths of 185 and 254 nm) in comparison with UV (254 nm). Effects of initial nitrite concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 1 mg/L as NO2-) initial nitrate concentrations (1, 10, 50, and 100 mg/L as NO3-), and initial pH of 5, 7, and 9 were studied. Also hydroxyl radical exposure was determined. The results showed that the VUV (87.9%) had superior degradation performance than that by the UV (72.1%) for the initial concentration of profenofos 10 mg/L (pH7) at 10 minute. Nitrite at 0.1 mg/L yielded the highest profenofos removal rate constant comparing to other nitrite concentrations. In case of nitrate, the highest removal rate constant of profenofos was at 1 mg/L. These results were agreeable to the formation of hydroxyl radical (OH•). The OH• exposure confirmed that the presence of nitrite and nitrate can generate OH•. pH 9 was found to have the highest profenofos removal rate constant. The finding of the work suggests that nitrite and nitrate play important role in profenofos degradation under UV and VUV processes. At low concentration, nitrite and nitrate can induce OH• formation. However, high concentration resulted in adsorption of VUV which in turn inhibit the reaction.

title: SELF-EMPLOYED MYANMAR LABOR MIGRANTS IN BANGKOK: A CASE STUDY OF ROTI SELLERS FROM CHAREON KRUNG ROAD

description: Thailand, being the closest neighbor country to Myanmar, provides a strong pull factor for Myanmar people to migrate legally or illegally and to find a better life in the cities. There is a small group of Myanmar people who work differently from other groups. One interesting factor that I would like to propose in this paper is how the roti sellers, who are mostly Muslim, can, have their economic survival and cultural adaptation in Thailand which is Buddhist. My paper attempts to discover the local narration and an insight from the roti sellers in Bangkok as a marginalized group of people, but they tend to grow their roti selling business in new environment and try to integrate their lifestyle with different culture. Qualitative and ethnographic method approaches will be applied in this research. Snowball sampling will be used as a method to collect the data.
