The sample used in this research is entrepreneurs in the Lower Northern and customers or tourists by using cluster sampling method in 9 areas and accidental sampling in 3 weeks using 100 samples. Research tools have a 3 parts consisting of exploratory questionnaire for graphic design satisfaction questionnaire and efficiency performance evaluation. Data analysis is used by analysis frequency percentage and standard deviation. Process of research methodology consists of 1. Primary survey about identity attitude of Lower Northern 2. Analysis and conclude 3. Design and create graphic design 4. Satisfactory test 5. Efficiency performance of graphic design The results show that 1. The identity of Lower Northern should associate to religious place such as temple cathedral national park historical site occasion dialect language costume quotes and local souvenir. 2.

The subjects in the study were 17 first year bachelors degree students enrolled in Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon. The Researcher using the experiment by let the students do until test before class And then study by using computer assisted instruction focused on Orthographic Drawing for First Angle Projection and Third Angle Projection. After that let students do the unit test again at the class and calculate to find out the efficiency of the computer assisted instruction and analysis the leaning achievement of students after study. The research result revealed that the efficiency of the computer assisted Instruction was efficient in standard 90/90. Moreover after learning achievement At significant level of 0.05

The objectives of this research were to propose a spatial analysis using Bayesian generalized linear mixed model for predicting drought in Thailand. The spatial effect was assumed to be a conditional autoregressive model (CAR model). The dependent variables was a drought or non-drought occurrence which was assumed to have a Bernolli distribution with logistic link function. Factors considered were rain temperature number of rainy days number of large reservoirs and number of medium reservoirs. The results show that the rain temperature number of rainy days number of large reservoirs and number of medium reservoirs influence on the drought occurrence. This study is useful for planning making decision preventing and remedying the drought problem.
