Atiphong Peatchkerd, Premvit Vivattanaseth — Mon, 24 May 2021 00:00:00 +0700

Construction of prisoners in Orasom Suddhisakorn’s nonfiction writing emphasizes readers to perceive the identity of prisoners with two strategies; the first is lexicalization and the second is discourse pragmatic strategies. The lexicalization relates to the strategy that shows the writer’s points of view to the prisoners, using lexical and phrasal selection and homophoric referencing. For discourse pragmatic strategy, it is applicable to intensify the context through word selection, enhancing the readers’ understanding and confidence in the text. They are 6 strategies; reasoning, presuppositions, intertextuality, metaphor, modality and syntax. This construction created the image of a prisoner interpreted and presented through the perspective of a non-fiction writer who conveyed the facts of the prisoner construction which leads to the creation of the truth for society.

Thitibhorn Phantachang — Mon, 24 May 2021 00:00:00 +0700

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were committed by the United Nations to adopt by the member states of the United Nations to create a sustainable development goals for all human beings. All nations have already committed to achieving the goals of the SDGs by 2030. India has played an important role in shaping the sustainable development goals with the mission of sustainable development of the country. As of the largest country by area and the second largest population in the world. Additionally, to achieve sustainable development it requires systematic solutions, technology development, urban planning, improvement of infrastructures and service, investment promotion, and public consciousness. To overcome these challenges, the five missions were set up to facilitate the implementation of these goals such as Smart Cities Mission, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), Mission Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY Mission), Swachh Bharat Mission and Urban Transport. The adaptive governance framework and the example of implementation projects in India suggest perhaps it may be adaptable for developing countries to achieve the SDGs goals by 2030.

Sample group was 15 students who were studying in Bachelor of Industrial Technology from the Program in Telecommunication Technology, Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi. This paper results showed the quality of developed research tools is evaluated by the five experts that the PIAEDA learning model is more appropriate (X= 4.14, S.D. = 0.63). The efficiency of the PIAEDA learning model was equal to 1.08 that was consistent to the standard criteria of Meguigans’s. The quality of learner's satisfaction is more satisfy level (X= 4.25, S.D. = 0.77) which agreed with the research hypothesis.
