The study was aimed to investigate the production of banana fiber that was suitable for decorating handicraft basketry examine its effectiveness develop decorative handicraft materials for basketry from fibrous layer on the trunk of the banana tree and promote the obtained knowledge in the community of Plasticseeroong Baanmor Promburi District Singburi Province. The research result could be summarized that the most appropriate production process of dry fibrous layer on the trunk of the banana tree mixed with fibrous layer of paper mulberry was done through mechanical process. After bleaching the mixed fibrous layer was stirred by Hollander beater with the proportion of wet fibrous layer and water at 1:40; 10% of dry of paper mulberry was boiled for three hours in sodium hydroxide at 100degree Celsius then bleached with 1.5% of hydrogen peroxide with 4% of the dry fibrous layer weight at 90 to 95 degree Celsius for two hours. The mixture of wet fibrous layer on the trunk of the banana tree with wet fibrous layer of paper mulberry was 70:30 which was considered appropriate for decorating handicraft basketry. Concerning the examination of mechanical properties of banana tree fibrous layer according to the standard of TAPPI T it was found that the folding endurance of paper value was 144 (N. m/g); the tensile strength value was 32.16 (N. m/g); the tear resistance value was 26.56 (mN.m2/g); and the bursting strength value was at 1.94 (KPa.m2/g). The fibrous layer obtained from on the trunk of the banana tree was fabricated into decorative basketry materials for example flowers palm leave hats flower key chains bags and paraffin coated flowers for bamboo boxed. The attendants’ satisfaction on the training of the production of decorative handicraft materials of basketry from fibrous layer on the trunk of the banana tree to 30 members of the community of Plasticseeroong Baanmor Promburi District Singburi Province concerning the training service speakers training procedures facilities and training benefits was at high level (90.67%) and at average level (9.33%).

The objective of this research is to develop a small and low-cost weather station. The station will be wireless transmit and receive data via radio signals. The 45mW solar cell will be used as a solar irradiance sensor which is very expensive for the weather station and the PIC18F97J60 controller will control the transmitter and receiver system. Moreover the author has developed the weather monitoring software by using LabVIEW. After testing the measurement percentage errors with the reference weather station the results showed that the relative humidity measurement error is equal to 3.106% the temperature measurement error is equal to 0.685% the wind speed is about 4.527% the wind direction measurement error is equal to 5.236% and the solar irradiance measurement error is equal to 0.501%. The longest working distance between the weather sensor and receiver unit is equal to 145 meters.

The objectives of this study were to investigate communities confidence in their local leaders the locals awareness and factors affecting peoples participation in the water quality management. Data were collected from interviewing 400 households and analyzed with a Logit model. Results showed that the samples were well aware of water quality problems. The communities confidence in their local leaders was in a middle level and the communities’ participation in common activities was low. Factors that affected communities participation in water quality management were confidence in local leaders membership of the conservation groups education level and awareness of water source problem respectively.

Purpose of this study 1) factors affecting the drop out of Rajamangala University of Technology PhraNakhon students in 2014 academic year. 2) correlation with personal information and 3) solutions to prevent the drop out. A study population are 1179 students who have dropped out in 2014 academic year and 584 lecturers of the Rajamangala University of Technology PhraNakhon. The analysis on the students population will be carried out by computing frequency percentage and Chi-square test to observe independency between the two variables. Also conducting an interview on the 360 students and 70 lecturers of the Rajamangala University of Technology PhraNakhon. From data collecting found that majority of student population status can be put by order as terminated deprived and resigned. Gender hometown occupation of parents/guardians and income of parents/guardians show significant relation to the drop out of the students in 2014 academic year while parents marriage status show no relation with statistically significant of 0.05. From the interview it can be extracted and put in order of contribution that personal issue family issue university environment and lecturer effect the student decision to drop out. Suggested solution: the university should create unique image encourage students to have part-time job during semester set up a consulting and support center provide more financial aid adjust and improve university scenery sourcing/maintenance furniture and equipments to meet usage adequate and quality standard and finally set up a colloquiums focusing a practical application. Therefore Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon should put the result from this study into practical use as a guideline to meet future circumstance and to develop administrative strategy for maximum advantage in the competition.

The study was aimed to investigate environmental conservation conscience and related knowledge of Business Administration undergraduates at Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon. It was also intended to examine the relationship between the environmental conservation knowledge and the students’ environmental conservation conscience. The samples were 208 fourth year students studying in the second semester of at the Faculty of Business Administration in 2013. The data were collected through the questionnaire regarding the environmental conservation conscience and related knowledge and were analyzed by the frequency distribution percentage distribution standard deviation t-test and One – Way ANOVA. In case of 0.05 statistical differences was found Scheffe’s method was applied for adjusting significance levels in a linear regression analysis to account for multiple comparisons as well as Pearson Product Moment Correlation statistically significant at 0.05 level. The result showed that Business Administration undergraduates highly displayed their environmental conservation conscience and related knowledge and moderately related (r = 0.407) and statistically significant at level of 0.05.
