The present research has the following objectives: 1) To examine the needs for short course training in home economics 2) To develop the short course curriculum in Home Economics in accordance to the needs of the members of Baan Pho Jaa Elderly Club and 3) To examine the satisfaction of the training in Home Economics for the members of Baan Pho Jaa Elderly Club Bang Namjuerd Muang District of Samutsakhorn Province. The samples selected for the research are the total number of 30 members of Baan Pho Jaa Elderly Club Bang Namjuerd Muang District of Samutsakhorn Province who have shown their interest in the program as well as had the capability to be trained. The research instrument is a questionnaire developed by the researcher and a training curriculum for the short course training in Home Economics. The data are analyzed in frequency and percentage. The findings are as follows: The members of Baan Pho Jaa Elderly Club showed the need to be trained in Home Economics with crispy rice noodle with spices tapioca dumpling with shiitake and salted duck egg with herbs respectively (43.33% 23.33% and 16.67%). The research developed the training curriculum accordingly using Taba’s instruction of curriculum development as consisting of 4 modules: i) an introduction to cooking ii) basic ingredients culinary instruments and cooking techniques iv) making crispy rice noodle with spices and v) package designing and calculating selling prices. The six-hour session of training took place at Baan Pho Jaa Medical Centre on Saturday – Sunday at 09.00 – 12.00 hrs and 13.00 – 16.00 hrs. The results of the training are as follows: i) the trainees showed an overall working skill at a good level ( X = 2.70) ii) the outcomes were evaluated and fell at a good level ( X = 2.83) and iii) the satisfaction of the trainees was considerably good ( X = 3.99).

The purpose of this research were to 1) study the production factors and efficiency of fireproof suit; 2) analyze the three line balancing models of fireproof suit; and 3) make comparison of production efficiency for fireproof suit’s manufacturing processes. A group of representative sample for assessments is 90 dressmakers of Creative Polymers Co. Ltd. The used tool for collecting data is the data recoding form consisting of production process list data recording date processing operation and duration of processing. Accordingly put the sewing line layout and make production test with the three line balancing models of fireproof suit then record all data and entry all data to SPSS program to average statistics on percentage and standard deviation. The research showed that the improvement of the three line processing models of fireproof suit comparing to the data of the three line balancing models are identified that C model increased from traditional production system 74.05 percentage B model increased from traditional production system 57.51 percentage then A model increased from traditional production system 48.53 percentage. The result showed that the fireproof suit’s production processing of Creative Polymers Co. Ltd. ought to take the C model in order to fasten production process and augment better quality. A minimum process of producing is amount of 110 steps with less time per one unit; minimum 177.41 minutes; with 30 workers; and 27 machines. The waste product of the three line processing models: A B and C model; not over 20 percentage during 8 hours of working. It shows that the c model has the least of waste product. The over operation that product has not much wasted not include in choosing the model for improving production efficiency and C model

This research is to study and develop writing aids for learning disabilities in children. These children usually have shot span attention. The writing disability can be detected in the early age such as children in pre-school or kindergarten but it will be amplifies when the children are in grade school. The research shows that these writing aids for learning disabilities in children can help children to be more focus and pay longer attention to the teacher. The main problem in learning disabilities in children is that these children don’t have the ability to tell the different between the letters that look similar to one another. After using these writing aids for learning disabilities in children and slowly teaching them step by step to the 5 year old and up children these children shows some improvement. These children spend longer time with writing aids for learning disabilities in children because of their light color and the sound that the aids make. The children seems to be enjoy using the aids and this can also help the teacher in the class room.

The objectives of the research were: 1) to transfer technology of household products and souvenirs for increasing value of textile waste and 2) to evaluate the result of this technology transfer. The instruments to evaluate the opinions and the pre and post knowledge of the participants were created together with the follow-up survey. The data were analyzed by frequency percentage mean and standard deviation. The technology transfer was held during June 21st – 22nd 2014 to 30 participants obtained by accidental sampling. The participants applied to attend the technology transfer program at Baan Dong Dang fabric waste group Roi Et province. The transferred programs were box shoe hat and decorative flower making from textile waste. The selected programs were from the research study in 2013 entitled Increasing Value of Textile Waste by Making Household Products and Souvenirs. The study found that the result of this technology transfer was satisfied in the benefit of the program at the highest level (66.88%) and at high level (33.83%). The content management trainers and benefit of the programs were rated at the highest level of satisfaction (M = 4.59). The post-test revealed that the participants gained more knowledge at statistically significant level 0.05. The participants can make use of the programs 100 percent in applying the knowledge into new innovation creating career using the products in daily routine to save the daily expenses and transferring the knowledge to schools in the community

The purpose of this research was to construct the appropriate forecasting model for the prices of field corn in Thailand using four time series analysis methods including Box-Jenkins method Holt’s exponential smoothing method damped trend exponential smoothing method and combined forecasting method. Time series data from the website of the Office of Agricultural Economics with total 227 months during January 1997 to November 2015 are used and divided into two series. The first 216 months from January 1997 until December 2014 used to build the forecasting models and the last 11 months from January until November 2015 used to compare the forecasting methods accuracies via the criteria of the lowest mean absolute percentage error and root mean squared error. Research finding indicated that combined forecasting model was the most accurate.
