The purposes of this research were to study the factors of effectiveness management model for subdistrict secondary school, to investigate current situations and desirable situations of effectiveness management model for sub-district secondary school, to develop the effectiveness management model for sub-district secondary school and to study the effects of effectiveness management model for subdistrict secondary school. This study was conducted in 4 phases which include first, studying the factors of effectiveness management model for sub-district secondary school, secondly investigating current situations and desirable situations of effectiveness management model for sub-district secondary school, thirdly developing effectiveness management model for sub-district secondary school and the last examining the results of usage of the effectiveness management model for sub-district secondary school. The target group consists of 33 teachers at Dongmafaiwittaya School, Secondary Educational Service Area Office 23, which was the research field. The instruments used in this study were two types: Firstly manual of development effectiveness management model, Secondly instruments used for data collection: questionnaire, non-structure interview and evaluation form. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean and standard deviation. The findings of the research were as follows: The factors of effectiveness management model for sub-district secondary school comprised of input, process and output; the current situations and desirable situations of effectiveness management model for sub-district secondary school were in the 'highest' level in every aspect; the development effectiveness management model for sub-district secondary school found that the factors of effectiveness management model for sub-district secondary school comprised of 3 aspects, 18 main factors and 102 sub-factors; the results of using the effectiveness management model for sub-district secondary revealed that it was suitability and feasibility in overall.

The aim of this study was to study the components of the internal control-based administrative system in secondary schools, and make a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to confirm the goodness of fit of empirical data and component model that resulted from the CFA. The study consisted of three steps: 1) studying of principles, ideas, and theories in related documents, 2) synthesizing and specifying them as components of the system, and 3) proposing these components to experts in the field for their confirmation on the appropriateness as components. Sample groups for the CFA comprised three groups with 300 samples i.e. 100 school directors, 100 school deputy directors, and 100 school teachers. A package program was applied to analyze collected data for mean, and standard deviation. Evaluation of the goodness of fit of the CFA Model was done by Chi-square, CFI, TLI, RMSEA and SRMR. Research results revealed that there were four components of the system i.e. Inputs, Process, Outputs, and Feedback. The Inputs comprised four components: 1) administrative resources, 2) learners, 3) administrative tasks in schools, and 4) policies, ideas, and directions on school administration. The Process comprised five components: 1) control environment including seven subcomponents, 2) risk assessment including five sub-components, 3) control activities including seven sub- components, 4) information and communication including six sub-components, and 5) monitoring including three sub-components. The Outputs were considered from two results i.e. 1) school quality basing on the Thailand National Basic Education criterion, and 2) satisfaction of related people in the system. The Feedback data received was from school internal-control evaluation, and CFA results. It was found that the model had a good level of goodness of fit to empirical data when considering the goodness of fit index.

In total, 901 dairy cow sera and data were collected from 51 farms in Nakhon Pathom, Ratchaburi and Kanchanaburi provinces (Western Region of Thailand). Serum samples were processed via the multispecies ELISA method to detect IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii infection. The results demonstrated that the calculated true prevalence was 1.48% (95% CI, 0.64–2.75%) for the individual-level and 29.41% (95% CI, 18.71–43%) for the farm-level. The univariate risk factor analysis showed that the number of total owned cats, the presence of stray cats, and the frequency of cleaning per day were significant factors (p

Since late 2007, several outbreaks of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection have emerged in Thailand. Phylogenetic analysis places all Thai PEDV isolates during the outbreaks in the same clade as the Chinese strain JS-2004-2. This new genotype PEDV is prevailing and currently causing sporadic outbreaks in Thailand.

Elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) infection is one of the most common diseases in young elephants, causing severe fatal hemorrhagic disease. Subclinical infection was previously described; however, information about the factors associated with virus shedding and reactivation were scarce. To identify the biological and environmental factors related with EEHV detection, blood and oral swab samples were collected from nine captive Asian elephants in Thailand for one year and tested for EEHV presence using real-time PCR. Data including hematological values, management, environmental temperature, and serum cortisol levels were also recorded and analyzed. Results showed that the viral detection frequency ranged from 0-25%. The highest detection frequency was found in the two youngest elephants, aged less than 15 years. Three types of viruses, EEHV1, EEHV4, and EEHV5, were found in this study, which also detected mixed infection in five elephants. Additionally, the study found that sample type, changes in hematological values, management and health issues, and serum cortisol levels were not associated with herpesvirus detection in the elephants. However, EEHV detection percentage was significantly increased in the summer (mid-Feb to mid-May), possibly due to body fitness reduction from food source limitation and low nutrient content. To obtain a broad aspect of EEHV management, long-term EEHV monitoring is highly recommended in every captive elephant herd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
