https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/286382
<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> In an era of rapid technological and social change, innovative leadership is crucial in driving educational organizations to adapt and achieve sustainable growth. This study aims to explore the essential needs and development approaches for fostering the characteristics of innovative leaders among school administrators under the Office of Sakaeo Primary Educational Service Area 1.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> The study employed a mixed-methods approach, consisting of (1) a quantitative study, which collected data from a sample of 110 school directors and deputy directors through an online questionnaire, analyzed using Krejcie & Morgan’s (1970) sample size table, and (2) a qualitative study, which conducted in-depth interviews with five purposively selected experts to analyze approaches for developing innovative leadership characteristics.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The current characteristics of innovative leaders are at a moderate level. However, when considering the desired state, they are at a significantly high level, indicating a gap that needs to be addressed. The highest priority for development is enhancing leaders' creative thinking skills, followed by fostering an environment conducive to development, promoting leader participation, and cultivating visionary leadership. To align the development of innovative leadership characteristics with actual needs, this study proposes four key development approaches. The first is visionary leadership, which should be supported through multidimensional data analysis and decision-making processes that encourage stakeholder participation. The second is leader participation, emphasizing the creation of management structures that facilitate knowledge exchange through Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to systematically drive development.</p> <p>Additionally, creative thinking skills are crucial and should be nurtured by allocating resources and establishing an environment that encourages out-of-the-box thinking while promoting the use of technology and innovation in leadership. Lastly, creating an organizational atmosphere should focus on fostering an open work culture, encouraging trial and error as a learning process, and recognizing individuals who contribute creative ideas. These strategies will ultimately lead to sustainable innovation development within educational organizations.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The research findings highlight the necessity of developing innovative leadership characteristics, with a particular focus on enhancing creative thinking skills and fostering a learning environment conducive to development. These factors are crucial in effectively improving the overall quality of education.</p>Chotika ChoramRuangurai SetsungnoenSupannee Samarnyat

https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/286694
<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> Reading is essential in daily life, especially in the modern era, when information is available from diverse sources across various media. Reading serves as a crucial tool that enables readers to seek new knowledge and expand their understanding. In particular, reading for comprehension helps readers grasp the main ideas, key points, and events from a text. Additionally, analytical thinking is a fundamental skill that contributes to the development of higher-order thinking abilities. It allows individuals to discern facts and understand the underlying reasons behind occurrences. Based on these reasons, the researcher is interested in conducting this study with the following purposes; 1) compare the reading comprehension ability of Grade 9 students from learning through the 4MAT model combined with the 5W1H technique before and after the lesson, 2) compare the analytical thinking ability of Grade 9 students from learning through the 4MAT model combined with the 5W1H technique before and after the lesson, 3) compare the reading comprehension ability of Grade 9 students from learning through the 4MAT model combined with the 5W1H technique after the lesson with a criterion of 70% and 4) compare the analytical thinking ability of Grade 9 students from learning through the 4MAT model combined with the 5W1H technique after the lesson with a 70% criterion.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> The sample group in this research consisted of 35 students from Grade 9 class 5, during the first semester of the academic year 2024. The sample group of students was from Phongsiriwittaya School, Dan Khun Thot District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The research instruments used included: 4 lesson plans of 4MAT with the 5W1H technique, totaling 12 hours, a reading comprehension test, and an analytical thinking test. Data was then analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The research findings showed that 1) The reading comprehension ability of Grade 9 students from learning through 4MAT with 5W1H technique after the lesson was significantly higher than before the lesson at the .05 level of significance, 2) The analytical thinking ability of Grade 9 students from learning through 4MAT with 5W1H technique after the lesson was significantly higher than before the lesson at the .05 level of significance, 3) The reading comprehension ability of Grade 9 students who received 4MAT with 5W1H technique was significantly higher than the 70% criterion at the .05 level of significance, and 4) The analytical thinking ability of Grade 9 students who received the 4MAT with 5W1H technique was significantly higher than the 70% criterion at the .05 level of significance.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The research findings indicate that the 4MAT with the 5W1H Technique enhances students' reading comprehension and analytical thinking skills. This is because students develop both the left and right hemispheres of their brains in a balanced manner. Additionally, they engage in both individual and group activities, which encourage them to construct knowledge independently through diverse learning activities, leading to a deeper understanding.</p>Supakrit MaphanaoSirirat Nakin

2025-11-232025-11-235663564610.60027/iarj.2025.287174Artificial Intelligence in Art and Design Education and Challenges: An Exploration of Future Educational Models
https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/286938
<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> The term "artificial intelligence" was first coined by John McCarthy at the Dartmouth Conference in 1956, marking the birth of artificial intelligence as an independent discipline. The discipline of AI is a highly integrated field of science and technology and philosophy, and despite its short history as a discipline, there is a long history of discussion about AI and that these philosophical theories were closely related to the formation of the concept of AI, similar to the way that the concept of "robot" was first introduced in literature and art. The study of the significance of artificial intelligence in art and design education can be elaborated in more detail at three levels: theoretical significance, practical significance, and educational practice.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> A core sample of 300 students from the Art and Design program classes of 2021 through 2023 was used for the study. The distribution of the student sample size was based on the following logic: 40% (120) freshmen, 35% (105) sophomores, and 25% (75) juniors. This ratio reflects both the comfort level of beginners with AI technology and the depth of senior students' experience with the technology.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: The study analyzes in detail the application of artificial intelligence in art and design education, including intelligent assisted teaching, stimulation of creative thinking, and accurate evaluation and feedback mechanisms. But also positively affected students' creativity. Nevertheless, the challenges of technology integration, ethical and moral considerations, and the reconfiguration of educational resources remain.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> This study provides a new approach to supporting solid theory and practice for the reform and advancement of art and design education in the future. Although research in art and design is still in its infancy compared to information science, and also finds many common points between artificial intelligence and art and design, the research finds that exploring the impact of artificial intelligence on art and design education, and using the current widespread interest in artificial intelligence and its practical application as a starting point, provides theoretical and practical suggestions for future art design with clear implications for efficiency.</p>Haitao BaiKumron SirathanakulKasinee Sokhuma

https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/286767
<p><strong>Background and Aim:</strong> China’s Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP) system represents a pioneering shift in global finance, positioning China at the forefront of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) innovation. While existing literature explores various aspects of digital currency adoption, an integrative analysis of technological, policy, economic, and socio-cultural dimensions remains limited. This study seeks to bridge this research gap by examining the key determinants of DCEP adoption and its broader global implications. By incorporating insights from multiple disciplines, this research enhances understanding of adoption frameworks and strategic policy interventions.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining primary and secondary data sources to analyze DCEP adoption dynamics. Primary data includes surveys (n=500 respondents) and semi-structured interviews with policymakers, financial institutions, and technology experts. Secondary data is drawn from government reports, central bank publications, financial institutions, and peer-reviewed academic literature. The quantitative component applies statistical modeling to measure transaction cost reduction, financial inclusion, and regulatory compliance, while the qualitative component explores policy initiatives, socio-cultural influences, and technological trust. This methodological design ensures analytical transparency and a comprehensive assessment of factors shaping digital currency adoption in China.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> With blockchain technology as its backbone, DCEP enhances transaction security, efficiency, and transparency, fostering positive user perceptions. However, challenges such as regulatory clarity, financial literacy, and consumer trust significantly impact adoption rates. Empirical findings reveal disparities in adoption levels across different demographic groups and industries, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. The study identifies key socio-cultural factors, including trust in state-backed financial systems, digital literacy, and evolving consumer behaviors, as critical to DCEP adoption success.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The findings underscore the necessity of a comprehensive strategy that integrates technological innovations, regulatory reforms, and financial education to accelerate digital currency adoption. This study contributes to the broader discourse on financial technology by offering insights into policy frameworks, economic incentives, and consumer behavior. The research provides strategic recommendations for ensuring inclusive adoption while addressing privacy concerns, regulatory risks, and financial stability.

2025-11-242025-11-245682583610.60027/iarj.2025.287019The Impact of Population Aging on Economic Development in China: Insights from Heilongjiang, Hebei, and Hunan
https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/286770
<p><strong>Background and Aim: </strong>China's demographic transition from a "demographic dividend" phase, characterized by a youthful population and rapid economic growth, to an aging society presents multifaceted socioeconomic challenges. This shift has been accelerated by the legacy of the one-child policy, rising life expectancy, and pronounced regional disparities. Provincial variations in aging trajectories are critical. Heilongjiang faces severe aging due to outmigration and shrinking labor pools, Hebei exhibits deep urban-rural divides in aging impacts, and Hunan demonstrates moderate aging mitigated by intergenerational family support systems. This study investigates the heterogeneous economic consequences of population aging across these provinces, with a focus on labor market dynamics, fiscal sustainability, and long-term growth trajectories. By contextualizing aging within China's unique "getting old before getting rich" paradigm, we aim to inform region-specific policy responses.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>An augmented Solow growth model is employed to disentangle aging effects, incorporating province-level panel data (2004–2024) from China's National Bureau of Statistics and official provincial yearbooks. The model explicitly integrates aging-specific variables—including elderly dependency ratio, working-age population share, human capital stock, savings rate, and labor force participation rate—as both independent and interactive predictors. Econometric techniques include unit root testing for stationarity, cointegration analysis to validate long-term relationships, and fixed-effects regression to control for province-invariant characteristics. Model transparency is enhanced by specifying the functional form of aging variable incorporation and data standardization processes.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>The elderly dependency ratio exhibits negligible direct effects on real per capita GDP. However, working-age population proportion (β=2.29, p<0.1), human capital (β=5.08, p<0.01), savings rate (β=3.86, p<0.05), and labor participation (β=1.96, p<0.01) significantly drive growth. Regional heterogeneity emerges. Heilongjiang’s labor shortages contrast with Hunan’s resilience from human capital investments, while Hebei’s urban-rural disparities underscore uneven aging impacts.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Policy measures must prioritize region-specific strategies: enhancing vocational education in human-capital-deficient areas, incentivizing labor participation through flexible retirement, and expanding multi-pillar pension systems. Lessons from Japan’s automation adoption and Nordic flexible work models highlight feasible pathways. Aligning reforms with China’s “getting old before getting rich” context ensures sustainable adaptation to demographic shifts.</p>Yunxia LiuKittawit AutchariyapanitkulKe NunthasenNirote Sinnarong

It is essentially a process of mutual support, assistance, and shared benefit. This research aims to examine the relationship between the empowering leadership of school administrators and teachers' organizational citizenship behavior.</p> <p>The study focuses on analyzing how school administrators' empowering leadership, which includes professional development and capacity building, teamwork, participatory decision-making, and knowledge sharing, influences teachers' organizational citizenship behavior. This behavior encompasses aspects such as conscientiousness, helping behavior, cooperation, consideration for others, and tolerance.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> The sample comprised 310 teachers under Chachoengsao Primary Educational Service Area Office 2, selected through stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a 5-point rating scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's correlation coefficient.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The findings revealed that: 1) the overall empowering leadership of school administrators was at a high level; 2) the overall organizational citizenship behavior of teachers was at a high level; and 3) a moderate positive correlation existed between school administrators' empowering leadership and teachers' organizational citizenship behavior, with statistical significance at the .01 level.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The study of the relationship between school administrators' empowering leadership and teachers' organizational citizenship behavior yielded three key findings: 1) both overall and individual aspects of school administrators' empowering leadership were at a high level, with teamwork exhibiting the highest mean, followed by knowledge sharing, while professional development and potential promotion had the lowest means; 2) both overall and individual aspects of teachers' organizational citizenship behavior were at a high level, with consideration for others exhibiting the highest mean, followed by cooperation, while helping behavior had the lowest mean; and 3) a moderate positive correlation was found between school administrators' empowering leadership and teachers' organizational citizenship behavior, with advancement, recognition, and work characteristics being the strongest correlating indicators.</p>Siriphon AngruangrattanaUrai Suthiyam

https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/286246
<p><strong>Background and Aim: </strong>This study examines the impact of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on the value chain division of labor in participating countries. Through this study, we aim to objectively assess whether the Belt and Road Initiative can promote "inclusive economic growth" and make the division of labor in the value chain more equitable. Additionally, we provide policy recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of the BRI and offer new perspectives and insights for understanding changes in the global economic landscape.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>This paper primarily uses the DID model and panel regression model as statistical tools. The core of the DID model lies in using two "differences" to estimate the effect of an intervention. In this paper, participation in the co-construction of the Belt and Road Initiative serves as the key policy variable in the DID model. This difference has a significant impact on the degree of value chain participation. Given the relationship between the two and the suitability of the DID model, this paper adopts the DID model as a statistical tool. When estimating the DID model, the panel regression model is employed. This model can more accurately estimate the relationships between variables, control for individual and time-fixed effects, reduce estimation errors, and improve model accuracy. This study obtains panel data from the World Bank database for 45 Belt and Road countries from 2009 to 2022, resulting in a total of 840 samples for analysis.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Through data analysis and interpretation within the framework of the "smile curve," this study finds that the Belt and Road Initiative has a significant positive impact on the value chain position of Central and Eastern European countries, Southwestern and Northern European countries, moderately and less industrialized countries, low-GDP countries. However, it has no significant impact or even a suppressive effect on Southeast Asian countries, highly industrialized countries, middle- and high-GDP countries. This may be because these countries have already occupied high-value positions in the global value chain.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Since China proposed the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in 2013, this grand vision has not only profoundly reshaped China’s opening-up landscape but also created unprecedented development opportunities for participating countries. Countries that have joined the BRI have generally experienced an improvement in their position within the global value chain. This conclusion is supported by data from multiple dimensions, including increased trade flows, expanded foreign investment inflows, deepened technological cooperation, and enhanced infrastructure connectivity. These changes have not only facilitated the optimization and upgrading of participating countries' industrial structures but also strengthened their integration into the global value chain and increased their influence, promoting a fair advancement of the value chain.</p>Yunti HeKe NunthasenNirote SinnarongWaraporn Nunthasen

<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> The development of internal supervision for school administrators is crucial for elevating the quality of education. It is a process that empowers administrators to effectively promote and enhance the capabilities of school personnel, leading to continuous improvements in student learning. Therefore, this research aims to: 1) Study the components and indicators of internal supervision for school administrators. 2) Study the current state, desired state, and needs assessment of internal supervision for school administrators. 3) Develop a model for the internal supervision development for school administrators. 4) Analyze the results of implementing the internal supervision development model for school administrators.</p> <p><strong>Methodology: </strong>The research was divided into four phases: <strong>Phase 1</strong>: Study the components and indicators of internal supervision for school administrators. The key informant group, consisting of 9 individuals, was selected through purposive sampling from experts in educational supervision, education, and educational management. <strong>Phase 2</strong>: Study the current state, desired state, and necessary needs for internal supervision for school administrators. The sample group consists of 354 school administrators and teachers, selected using stratified random sampling. The research instrument is a questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.87. Data analysis includes calculating the mean and standard deviation. <strong>Phase 3</strong>: Develop a model for improving internal supervision for school administrators. The key informants are 5 experts, including education administrators, school administrators, and educational supervisors with best practices in educational supervision, to study best practices in internal supervision by school administrators. Additionally, 9 experts, selected purposively from academics, policy-makers, and practitioners involved in internal supervision, will verify the model through an expert seminar. <strong>Phase 4</strong>: Study the outcomes of implementing the model for improving internal supervision for school administrators. The target group consists of 11 school administrators from the Secondary Educational Service Area Office, MahaSarakham, who voluntarily participate in the development according to the model.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> 1. The components and indicators of internal supervision of school administrators consisted of 4 components, including Planning for Supervision (7 indicators), Implementation of Supervision (5 indicators), Coordination and Monitoring of Supervision (3 indicators), and Evaluation of Supervision (8 indicators). 2. The overall current condition is at a high average level. The overall desirable condition was at the highest mean level. The needs assessment was ranked from highest to lowest as follows: 1) good citizenship, 2) justice, 3) responsibility 4) respect. 1) Planning for Supervision 2) Coordination and Monitoring of Supervision 3) Implementation of Supervision 4) Evaluation of Supervision 3. A development model typically consists of the following components: Principles, Objectives, Content, Development Process, Media, Materials, Learning Resources, and Evaluation. The development consists of four modules: Module 1: Planning for Supervision, Module 2: Implementation of Supervision, Module 3: Coordination and Monitoring of Supervision, and Module 4: Evaluation of Supervision. The overall evaluation of the model's suitability, feasibility, and usefulness has been rated as highest.</p> <p>Conclusion: Internal supervision by school administrators consists of four main components: planning, implementation of supervision, coordination and monitoring, and evaluation. It uses 23 indicators to assess performance in each area. The needs assessment revealed that while administrators perform well overall, there are areas that still require development. The highest priority for improvement is in planning for supervision and coordination, and monitoring. The model for developing internal supervision by school administrators should include principles, objectives, content, development processes, learning materials, and evaluation. The content is divided into four modules based on the main components of supervision. The results of implementing the development model show that participating administrators improved their supervisory skills from a low to a high level, and expressed the highest level of satisfaction with the model.</p>Mingkawn NongkunsanKritkanok DuangchatomPongphop Phoojomjit

https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/287964
<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> Although teachers have a direct role in teaching, school principals have an important role in supporting and promoting aspects that teachers cannot implement on their own, such as budget allocation, establishing cooperative networks with external organizations, formulating policies that facilitate the development of Chinese language teaching, or providing necessary resources and facilities. Therefore, needs assessment helps identify the gaps between the current conditions and what should ideally be. Therefore, this research aims to 1) study the current and desired conditions of the development of school principals' roles in promoting the teaching of the Chinese language in schools under the Samut Prakan secondary educational service area office. 2) Prioritize the needs of the development of school principals' roles in promoting the teaching of the Chinese language in schools under the Samut Prakan secondary educational service area office.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> This research was conducted with a population of 79 Chinese language teachers in schools under the Samut Prakan secondary educational service area office for the 2024 academic year. The research instrument was a needs assessment questionnaire using a 5-level rating scale. The statistics used for data analysis included percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the Necessary Priority Index (PNI<sub>modified</sub>)</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The results of the research were as follows. 1) The current conditions of the development of school principals' roles in promoting the teaching of the Chinese language in schools were rated moderate overall (<em>μ</em> = 3.49, <em>σ</em> = 0.71), while the desired conditions received a high rating <br />(<em>μ</em> = 4.18, <em>σ</em> = 0.55), 2) Prioritize the needs of the development of school principals' roles in promoting the teaching of Chinese language in schools, ranked from highest to lowest, including: teaching and learning activities (PNI<sub>modified</sub> = 0.25), teaching media utilization (PNI<sub>modified</sub> = 0.21), curriculum development (PNI<sub>modified</sub> = 0.18), and assessment and evaluation (PNI<sub>modified</sub> = 0.15). </p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> This study demonstrates that when comparing the current conditions and desired conditions of the development of school principals' roles in promoting the teaching of the Chinese language in schools under the Samut Prakan secondary educational service area office, it was found that the desired conditions of school principals' roles in all aspects had higher average values than the current conditions. This indicates the need for developing school principals' roles. The highest priority is in the area of teaching and learning activities, especially where school principals promote improvements in Chinese language teaching efficiency by emphasizing conversations with native speakers. The second priority is for school principals to support the continuous development of teachers' Chinese language skills, and school principals promoting the integration of Chinese language activities with other subjects. However, school principals still need to continue developing themselves in various aspects for effective educational administration.</p>Thasanaporn RanthongSudarat SarnsawangSuchada Nanthachai

https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/288193
<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> One of the most important factors influencing teachers' self-efficacy is <strong>distributed leadership</strong>, which refers to school administrators' role in providing opportunities for teachers to participate in decision-making and problem-solving processes within the school (Spillane, 2006). This concept of distributed leadership has become widely popular in modern education systems, as it fosters a sense of ownership and enhances collaboration between administrators and teachers. Such collaboration is a key factor in significantly increasing teachers' self-efficacy. This research aims to examine the levels of distributed leadership among school administrators and teachers' self-efficacy and to investigate the influence of distributed leadership on teachers' self-efficacy.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> Quantitative methods were employed through survey research involving teachers from the Samut Sakhon Education Service Area, totaling 103 participants selected using Krejcie and Morgan's sampling table.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: The research results revealed that distributed leadership among administrators was at a moderate level, with the shared vision component scoring the lowest average. Similarly, teachers’ self-efficacy was also at a moderate level, with the lowest average in the area of instructional confidence and student development. The strongest positive relationship was found between distributed leadership in the shared vision component and teachers’ self-efficacy in classroom management, with a statistically significant correlation at the 0.01 level (r = 0.583). Furthermore, the analysis indicated that distributed leadership among administrators significantly influenced teachers’ self-efficacy (r = 0.538). The linear regression analysis showed that distributed leadership could explain 29% of the variance in teachers’ self-efficacy, reflecting a moderate level of influence.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Based on the findings, school administrators should promote teacher participation in key decision-making processes, such as planning, instructional management, and resource allocation. Professional development programs should be organized to enhance administrators’ capacity for distributed leadership practices, thereby fostering a leadership approach that effectively supports teamwork among teachers. These initiatives could help strengthen the positive relationship between distributed leadership and teachers’ self-efficacy, ultimately improving educational outcomes.</p>Somsupat ParawatSudarat SarnswangPrompilai Buasuwan

<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> The transportation and logistics industry is one of Thailand's major sources of greenhouse gas emissions, releasing up to 80 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) annually, accounting for 26% of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions. Applying green marketing and green logistics concepts is therefore a key strategy for reducing environmental impact and creating a competitive advantage. However, the adoption rate of green logistics services in Thailand remains low due to increased costs, unclear government support policies, and consumers' lack of understanding about the environmental impacts of the transportation sector. This research aims to 1) analyze green marketing factors influencing Thai consumers' behavior in choosing logistics services, 2) study the relationship between green marketing factors and consumer satisfaction levels, and 3) suggest guidelines for developing marketing strategies for logistics businesses in alignment with green logistics concepts.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> This quantitative research used questionnaires to collect data from 450 Thai consumers who had used logistics services in the past year, employing multi-stage sampling. The research instrument was validated for content validity by three experts, yielding an Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) index of 0.67, with an overall reliability of 0.89. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> (1) All four green marketing factors - green product, green place, green price, and green promotion - positively influenced Thai consumers' behavior in choosing logistics services with statistical significance, explaining 54.9% of the variance. (2) All green marketing factors showed positive correlations with consumer satisfaction, with the green product having the highest correlation (r = 0.643). (3) Consumers rated the importance of green marketing factors at a high level, with green product being the most important (Mean = 3.84), followed by green place (Mean = 3.70), green price (Mean = 3.65), and green promotion (Mean = 3.58). Therefore, it is recommended that logistics businesses develop green marketing strategies in all areas, especially in product and place aspects, which have the highest influence on and relationship with consumer behavior.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Logistics businesses should develop green marketing strategies in all areas, especially in product and place aspects, which have the highest influence on and relationship with consumer behavior. Investing in clean energy, environmentally friendly packaging, low-emission transport systems, and efficient route planning are key factors that will help create a competitive advantage and long-term sustainability.</p>Chalita Thriyawanich

https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/288096
<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> The cannabis measures announced by the Ministry of University Education, Science, Research, and Innovation were not implemented at Sakon Nakhon Rajabhat University. As a result, several students remained unaware of the measures. The research aims to: (1) Study legal measures that control the use of Cannabis in educational institutions. (2) Study the context and appropriateness of Cannabis in Sakon Nakhon Rajabhat University. (3)To develop a model of appropriate measures for Cannabis use in Sakon Nakhon Rajabhat University.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> The study employed a mixed-methods research design, including focus groups with 20 participants from stakeholder groups (students, teachers, staff, and police), in-depth interviews with 20 individuals (university administrators, lecturers, students, and staff), and qualitative research through documentary analysis. 400 students completed questionnaires for the quantitative study, which was based on the Yamane Taro theory and had a 0.05 standard deviation. Together with results from the surveys, qualitative data were described and quantitatively evaluated using percentages to illustrate the relative importance of each issue.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The research's findings are as follows: (1) The Ministry of Public Health issued an announcement regarding controlled herbs (cannabis) B.E. 2565 because the draft Cannabis and Hemp Act is still not enforceable. This prompted announcements from the Ministry of University Education, Science, Research, and Innovation, and the Ministry of Education on the topic of Guidelines regarding Cannabis or hemp. (2) Some students are still not aware of the MOE's declaration, and the research population believes that universities should have policies that forbid the use of cannabis but allow its usage for research and offer education to educate the public about it. (3) The Ministry's declaration to declare the campus a cannabis-free zone and to teach staff, except for cannabis use in research, is in line with Sakon Nakhon Rajabhat University's appropriate notification.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The study suggests that the law department at Sakon Nakhon Rajabhat University should consider making announcements for the Sakon Nakhon Rajabhat University community and presenting to the university council. After that, the institution starts a vigorous public relations campaign about cannabis or hemp. To educate staff and students on the use of hemp or cannabis, every department, institution, and faculty sets up training.</p>Danainut JirawattanasomkulNathaporn JirawattanasomkulThipaporn KlawklongParichat Pujit

https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/289667
<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> Long COVID is a condition where patients continue to experience symptoms after recovering from COVID-19 infection. This represents a new medical challenge that impacts quality of life across physical, mental, and social dimensions. While modern medicine has developed treatment guidelines, there are still limitations in addressing the diverse symptoms of this condition. Therefore, re-examining and applying local traditional medical wisdom, which emphasizes holistic treatment, is a valuable alternative approach that warrants systematic study. This research aims to: 1. Study the current situation and problems in treating Long COVID. 2. Develop an integrated treatment approach that can be sustainably incorporated into community-level healthcare systems.</p> <p><strong>Methodology: </strong>This is a Qualitative Research study utilizing a case study of Dr. Supamas Kananurak, a traditional healer in Chonburi province. Data was collected through documentary review, in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and field notes. Purposive sampling was used for participant selection, and content analysis was employed under the framework of traditional medicine concepts, along with triangulation to confirm data trustworthiness.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Long COVID still lacks comprehensive treatment guidelines within the current healthcare system, leading some communities to turn to local wisdom, such as the treatment provided by Dr. Supamas Kananurak. Her approach emphasizes balancing the body with herbal medicine and traditional Thai massage, based on the patient's dominant elements. This holistic treatment also includes mental health care through aromatherapy and meditation. This approach promotes both physical and mental recovery and can be appropriately integrated into modern healthcare systems at the community level.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study demonstrates that treatment of Long COVID by traditional healers can be a suitable alternative for addressing complex health conditions, especially within the context of Thai communities that possess cultural capital. Such approaches should be promoted through further research and integrated with modern healthcare systems, considering the efficacy, safety, and sustainability of local wisdom.</p>Suratsawadee ChantachonPhanphasa SaothongChitchanok KetpetchPinkamon SompeewongPiyapong ChoochanaPermsuk Sripinyo

2025-11-302025-11-30561421143410.60027/iarj.2025.289667Linguistic Analysis of Cultural Adaptation in Thai Translations of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series: A Comprehensive Study of Translation Strategies from a Linguistic Perspective
https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/IARJ/article/view/291664
<p><strong>Background and Aims:</strong> This comprehensive linguistic analysis examines the cultural adaptation strategies employed in Thai translations of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, focusing specifically on the first three volumes from a systematic linguistic perspective. The study aims to investigate how translators navigate the complex interplay between morphological, phonological, semantic, and pragmatic considerations when adapting culturally specific elements for Thai readers.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> The study employs qualitative content analysis grounded in contemporary linguistic theory, utilizing a comprehensive linguistic analysis framework that systematically examines translation choices across multiple levels of linguistic structure. The research corpus consists of sixty systematically selected passages from Thai translations of the first three Harry Potter volumes, analyzed using established techniques from applied linguistics, incorporating insights from morphological analysis, phonological theory, semantic analysis, and pragmatic research.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The linguistic analysis reveals sophisticated patterns of morphological adaptation in character nomenclature, phonological adjustment in magical terminology, semantic shifts in cultural references, and pragmatic accommodation in dialogic expressions. The findings demonstrate systematic patterns where translators employ consistent principles for adapting English morphological complexity to Thai patterns while maintaining recognizable lexical relationships. Phonological adaptation strategies reveal a sophisticated understanding of how sound symbolism contributes to meaning construction in fantasy literature.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The findings demonstrate how translators function as linguistic mediators, employing systematic phonological, morphological, and semantic processes to bridge the gap between English and Thai linguistic systems while preserving the fantastical essence of the source material. The study contributes to applied linguistics and translation studies by illuminating the complex linguistic mechanisms underlying successful cross-cultural literary adaptation, offering insights into how linguistic structure influences translation decision-making processes.</p>Thananya Viriyapanyanont
