Descriptive research, study both quantitative and qualitative data, aimed to study traffic accident situation among senior people. The participants were senior people both female and Male > 65 yrs 728 persons and 208 senior people who has experience of traffic accident in 2 provinces, both urban and rural area, in the Northeastern of Thailand, Data were collected both qualitative and quantitative method. Data analysis by using SPSS program for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. The results showed that major traffic accident situation in senior people were motorcyclist accident, cause of high speed, drunk drive, hit animals, and bad environment, senior people in rural area believe that traffic accident unpreventable because of sin. Senior people who had experience of traffic accident found that factors related traffic accident was careless bad behavior, most of traffic accident not severity, admit hospital < 5 days. In order to road safety control senior people should be improve of safety road, suitable vehicle, safety environment and continuing campaign throughout the year, local authority must increase concern for safety legislation.

In the current era of Green Economy, green strategies like recycling of waste has a great potential to benefits the economy. Hotel industry constitute a significant solid waste management (SWM) problems, especially in urban areas like Bangkok, Thailand where waste generation from hotel industry has continuously increased due to increased number of visitors. Overall 9,873 tonnes/day or 3.603 million tonnes/year of waste is being generated in the Bangkok and out of that only 3% is incinerated , 10% is converted into fertilizers and remaining 87% goes to landfill. The hotel industry is one of the major contributor of organic/wet waste into landfills. Waste generated from hotels consists of recyclable waste and organic waste. This paper aims to examine the hotels based solid waste generation, its composition as well as its reuse and recycling. This study analyzed the economic feasibility of waste management projects employing methods such as recycling of organic waste materials through cost-benefit analysis. The benefits of waste recycling management projects are categorized as direct and indirect benefits. These project increase revenues from the sale of recyclable waste, and cost saving from use biogas produced from organic waste, from the use organic fertilizer produced as through project instead of purchasing chemical fertilizer, from bio-fermentative conversion of fruit waste to cleaning products via a proprietary process, from reduced municipal charges for disposal and management of food and solid wastes. The results show that waste recycling is economically feasible and suggests a better system for waste management.

Teams have become a popular organization form since well-functioning task-focused groups are basic pillars of successful organizations. While there is much interest in contemporary social science in understanding team processes that lead to efficiency, most of these researches rely heavily on self-reported data yielding static and potentially biased information and tends to overlook actual interaction processes. We propose a novel approach that allows portraying a nuanced, complex picture of problem-solving group behaviour by measuring performance dynamics as it evolves in real-time, in a controlled environment. The research aims to explore how collaboration networks of small project teams evolve across time and team members, and how it relates to successful task performance. We investigate interaction patterns in escape rooms, where all teams are video recorded during the task-solving process in the same experimental environment. We expected and confirmed that homogeneous distribution of interaction ties across time and team members fosters successful problem-solving. Concerning the impact of the initial social roles on the dynamics of the interaction pattern, we hypothesized that flexible, less hierarchical team structures favour for problem-solving. In the case of the teams with random composition, the development of a new social structure during the dynamic performance of an unstructured task is expected to entail more tensions with the conversation rules than otherwise. This research aims to advance the new science of teams' by focusing on the network micro-mechanisms that allows us to treat teams as dynamic, adaptive, taskperforming systems.

Whereas studies have documented health disparities among ethnic minorities occasioned by poor access and bias in healthcare at local levels, there has been little discussion linking globalization impacts to the health outcomes of ethnic minorities. Specifically, research focused on ethnic minorities seeking treatment for substance abuse. The great recession of the past decade in the United States (2008-2010), provides an adequate backdrop against which the completion of substance abuse treatments among minorities can be linked to global forces whose effects on their social realities can be estimated. Data from the Treatment Episode Datasets–Discharge (TEDS-D) representing outpatient substance abuse treatment centers across the United States is used. All treatment users were classified by race. We use multivariate logistic regression to estimate the effect of the great recession by weighing whether racial-ethnic differences, gender and region influence discharge completion rates. We find that, ethnic minorities are less likely to access substance abuse treatment, and less likely to complete substance abuse treatment. The regional analysis gives insight into the broader impacts of the recession’s effect when we find that individuals from the South were generally less likely to complete discharge services when all regions are considered. Overall, primary substance in use, age, and education, inspired by global contexts, invariably explain the rates of successful completion. We conclude that outpatient completion rates for substance abuse are impacted negatively by macro processes such the great recession.

The presentation contains methodological background as well as key definitions and assumptions of the international research project about strategic partnerships between states and international organizations conducted in 2014-2018. The project builds upon comparative findings from qualitative case studies of the EU, NATO, ASEAN and the Andean Community’s strategic partnerships with a sample of great, middle and minor regional powers. Presentation’s main focus is on factors of strategic partnerships' success according to the findings of the statistical testing (multiple multivariate linear regression analysis, correlation analysis) of the strategic partnerships model. Strategic goals convergence was confirmed to be a good predictor of cooperation willingness among partners. Trust was confirmed to be a good predictor of cooperation sustainability. It also deals with unexpected insignificant predictors of strategic partnership substantiality – strategic roles convergence, unique bonds and regularized bilateral interactionism have not shown statistically significant results – and lays out the potential for further research, including the propositions for a model refinement following the abduction strategy.

This paper explores the relation between time and literature which is disseminated across literary texts. The analysis aims at giving the contextual points of departure from which to understand the fundamental turn taken in the literary path which provokes a new kind of thinking related to and dependent on other fields such as philosophy and science. At the cross roads of American Literature, one can easily determine that Kurt Vonnegut and Brian Evenson establish a broader perception of time and temporality in their narratives as they thoughtfully probe into the most profound aspects of ontological and scientific matters related to time perceptions and conceptions. I intend, through the analysis of time and temporality within their fictional as well as non-fictional texts, to cast light on the changes in thinking time and temporality, and to map out the philosophical approaches with which they engaged their writings. The main concern of this paper is based on Deleuze’s constructive view that represents the three powers of thinking that are science, art and philosophy. The model of the three powers of thinking is applied in this analysis. The paper brings to the fore Deleuze and Guattari’s speculation, American Science Fiction literature in general, and Vonnegut and Evenson’s fiction in specific. A final aspect which this paper deals with is that in terms of Deleuzian’s “plane of immanence” the analysis of literary narratives represents the plane upon which philosophical concepts are built to be open to all possible creations and engender different types of becoming.

Western societies are increasingly complex. Globalization as well as the irruption of the Technologies of Information and Communication (TICs) are resulting in great transformation within the current economic, political and social systems. The financial and economic crisis we have faced since 2008 has exposed the inability of the governmental institutions to solve the challenges of the society. This has meant both a great disengagement of the citizenry from the politics and also a loss of confidence in the institutional system, and more specifically, in the public (political parties as well as public administration). In this context, citizens now are demanding innovative solutions to tackle emerging “wicked problems”. These solutions are presenting in the form of new ways of practicing politics and making policies, in which the participation of the stakeholders (including the citizenry) in the decision making-process is mandatory. In short, these transformations are demanding a new paradigm shift that moves away from the old public administration to a new way of collaborative governance. In Gipuzkoa (The Basque Country), the local government, aware of this new reality, has been promoting since 2015 a new initiative, called Etorkizuna Eraikiz (Building the Future), that aims at laying down an innovative political culture in the territory. In this contemporary initiative, deliberation and collaboration are prominent strategies to recover trust in institutions.

The main objective of this study is to give an overview of government spending in relation to the level of democracy in Thailand from 1980 through 2018. The statistics provided in this study were derived from the National Statistics Bureau of Thailand and the Polity Index. The results drawn from this study suggest that the government budget between 2008-2018 was on average higher than the previous decades. To be more particular, between 1980-2005 the government budget was around 17 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), unaffected by the level of its democracy. From 2008 onwards, however, Thailand’s government budget has increased to 21 percent of GDP. Over the same previous period, the government budget on Public Defense and Health were relatively higher in administrations with lower level of democracy; whereas the budget on education went in opposite direction. Since 2008 government spending on education and public defense has increased in administrations with higher level of democracy, while the government spending on health was higher in governments with lower level of democracy. The government’s total budget was higher in governments with higher level of democracy from 2008
