However, due to the limitations of the community, most of the elderly have received basic education or no more than the 6th grade of primary school, resulting in limitations in doing activities. Therefore, the researcher has used playing card games with numbers, symbols, and colors to prevent dementia in the elderly. This study aimed to study the effects of playing solitaire card games on dementia in the elderly group at risk of dementia.

Methodology: This study was a quasi-experimental research design. Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design The sample group was 50 elderly people aged 60-69 years who lived in the area under the responsibility of Ban Na Sinuan Subdistrict Health Promotion Hospital. They were divided into an experimental group and a control group, 25 people per group. They were selected by having a Mini-cog set 1 score less than or equal to 3 points and a Moca score less than or equal to 25 points. The sampling method was purposive sampling. The experimental group received 3 games of solitaire games/day, 2 days/week for 8 weeks. The control group received regular care. The instruments used in the experiment were 1) General information questionnaires, 2) Dependent variable assessment tools, including 2.1) Mini-Cog (S. Borson) set 1 assessment, 2.2) MoCA assessment, and 3) Experimental tools, namely, Klondike solitaire card game. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, percentage, and Dependent T-test and Independent T-test statistics. The level of statistical significance was set at .05.

Results: The experimental group after the experiment had a statistically significant increase in the mean dementia score assessed by Mini-cog and Moca than before the experiment (Mean Diff. = 1.56, SD = 0.77, t = -10.16, p < .01), (Mean Diff. = 3.64, SD = 1.55, t = -11.73, p < .01) and when compared between the experimental group and the control group. After the experiment, the mean dementia status of the experimental group was statistically significantly different from that of the control group (Mean Diff. = 1.00, SD = 2.07, t = 4.83, p < .01), (Mean Diff. = 1.64, SD = 0.71, t = 2.31, p = .03). The mean dementia status of each aspect of the experimental group before and after the experiment was statistically significantly different overall (Mean Diff. = 0.310, SD = 1.55, t = -11.73, p < .001). When separated by aspect, the aspects with differences were visuospatial and attention aspects (p < .001), naming aspects (p = 0.17), and language aspects (p = .041). There were no differences in the abstract aspects and recall aspects.

Conclusion: After participating in the Solitaire card game, the elderly had an overall mean increase in dementia, especially in the visual-spatial and attention domains, naming domains, and language domains, which were significantly higher than before participating in the game at a statistical significance level of .05. Therefore, playing a solitaire card game helps improve the level of dementia. The sample group should be expanded from the age range of 60-69 years, and the evaluation period after the experiment should be at least 2 weeks.

Introducing Native Chicken Competitions as a Catalyst for Sustainable Rural Tourism Development

2024-09-30T15:02:45+07:00

Background and Aims:

The study aimed to explore the role of native chicken beauty contests as a form of agritourism and its impact on the motivation of farmers to raise native chickens in Isabela province. Agritourism activities, such as these beauty contests, promote local agriculture and cultural traditions while offering economic benefits. By creating a space for competition and pride in local livestock, the contests give farmers a sense of community and recognition. The primary objective of the research was to determine if participation in these events could motivate farmers to invest more in native chicken farming, thus contributing to both the rural economy and the preservation of native chicken breeds. The study focused on farmers participating in the beauty contests between 2018 and 2020.

Methodology:

A descriptive-correlational research design was used to gather data on the participants' characteristics and motivations. The participants were predominantly female farmers aged between 51 and 60 who were married, educated, and involved in farming activities. Most participants raised fewer than 50 native chickens, lacked formal training in native chicken management, and earned less than 10,000 pesos annually from this activity. The study sought to understand the intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing the farmers’ decisions to raise native chickens based on demographic information and their experiences in beauty contests.

Results:

The results revealed the farmers' strong intrinsic motivations for raising native chickens. Many participants expressed deep affection for native chickens, citing their health benefits and the potential to provide additional income for their families. This internal motivation was driven by the farmers' desire to preserve and care for these native breeds, which they valued for their aesthetic appeal and practical use. On the irrelevant side, participants believed that native chicken farming had the potential to become a robust industry with a stable market. They felt that participating in the beauty contests helped draw attention to the breed’s value, potentially leading to increased market opportunities. Both male and female farmers showed similar levels of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. However, a deeper analysis indicated that older, married, unemployed, and more educated farmers who raised fewer chickens and earned less were more intrinsically motivated. Extrinsically, older, widowed participants with higher education who raised more chickens, earned a higher income, and were involved in public employment or farming activities exhibited stronger external motivations to continue raising native chickens.

Conclusion:

The study concluded that the native chicken beauty contest, as an agritourism activity, positively influenced the motivation of farmers to raise native chickens. These events fostered intrinsic and extrinsic motivations among a diverse group of farmers. Intrinsically, farmers were motivated by their love for native chickens and the personal satisfaction they gained from raising them. Extrinsically, the contests helped farmers believe in the future potential of native chicken farming, offering hope for industry growth and economic stability. The beauty contests not only celebrated the aesthetic appeal of native chickens but also reinforced the idea that native chicken farming could evolve into a sustainable and profitable venture, further boosting the motivation of farmers across different demographic profiles.

Approaches to Enhance Picking Efficiency through Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Process Improvement: A Case Study of a Coconut Product Distribution Company

2024-10-06T11:35:17+07:00

Background and Aims: Efficient warehouse management is a crucial factor in enhancing business competitiveness, especially in the coconut processing industry, which is significant to Thailand's economy. This research aims to study the problems and approaches to improve order picking efficiency in a company distributing processed coconut products, focusing on enhancing both the Warehouse Management System (WMS) and operational processes. The objectives of this research are: 1) To examine the problems in order picking using the WMS and current work processes in the case study company, and 2) To develop approaches to improve order picking efficiency through the WMS and work processes in the case study company.

Methodology: Qualitative and action research methods were employed. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews with two experts, and focus groups with 18 warehouse staff (divided into 3 groups). The problem was studied for one month, followed by a one-month design and trial of solutions. Qualitative data analysis and pre-post efficiency comparisons were conducted using Independent t-tests.

Results: For the first objective, three main problems were identified in the order picking process: 1) The WMS system lacked flexibility in creating Transfer Orders (TO), which were rigidly assigned to pallet numbers, preventing picking from alternative locations even for the same product type. This led to frequent partial picking and inefficient use of warehouse space. 2) Inconsistency between the system and picking policies, with the system not efficiently supporting FIFO and Wave Picking methods, causing conflicts between system operations and actual work processes. 3) Time and volume constraints, making it difficult to complete picks on time and in full, with limited picking hours (10:00 AM - 4:00 PM) impacting cost, time, and delivery reliability. For the second objective, the researcher proposed and tested efficiency improvement approaches: 1) Enhancing WMS system flexibility by changing from FIFO pallet number reservation to reading all pallet numbers with the same production batch in FIFO order, and using handheld barcode scanners to determine production batches and confirm picks. 2) Implementing Cluster Picking alongside Wave Picking, dividing TO creation responsibilities by product groups. After a one-month trial (26 working days), picking efficiency improved significantly (p < 0.05) across all dimensions. The percentage of unfulfilled orders decreased from 6.785% to 0.147%, the percentage of unfulfilled order value dropped from 4.828% to 0.162%, and the picking rate improved from 33.837 boxes/minute to 23.644 boxes/minute. Data variance decreased, particularly in cost metrics, indicating more consistent operations. Statistical analysis showed significant differences in all indicators.

Conclusion: The proposed approaches for improving the WMS system and work processes significantly enhanced order picking efficiency in terms of reliability, cost, and time. This aligns with the research objectives and effectively addresses the case study company's order picking issues.

The research instruments included: 1) 9 KWDL-based lesson plans in the topic of solving the rule of three problems for Prathomsuksa 5 students; 2) pre- and post-tests to measure academic achievement in solving the rule of three problems; and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire on the KWDL-based learning approach. The data analysis was conducted using mean , standard deviation , and a t-test.

Results: The study found that: 1) a comparison of students' academic achievement before and after instruction revealed that post-instruction achievement, following the use of KWDL techniques, was significantly higher than pre-instruction achievement at the .05 level, and 2) students' satisfaction with the KWDL-based learning approach was rated as high.

Conclusion: The instruction using the KWDL technique led to improved academic achievement among Prathomsuksa 5 students and fostered higher-order thinking skills, particularly analytical thinking, which can be applied to other subjects.
