The research presents the development approaches on the characteristics of the good citizen of the students. The target groups of this research include 1) the executives and 2) the students who registered in the academic year 2012. The research tools consist of the questionnaires and the interviews. The statistics include the frequency percentage mean and standard deviation of T and F value. As for the interviews they were analyzed by making use of the frequency and content analysis. The Result of the study 1. Most students have good citizen characteristics in all aspects as a whole ( = 3.98). As for each aspect it was found out as the followings. For the basic background characteristics the students’ good citizen characteristics on faithfulness were in the maximum average ( = 4.45) whereas the economical characteristics of the students were in the lowest average ( = 3.53). For Knowledge and skill the students’ adaptation in various situations was in the maximum average ( = 4.19) whereas the students’ seeking knowledge and searching for additional learning was in the lowest average ( = 3.66).

For Economic aspect the students’ value of faithful occupation was in the maximum average ( = 4.35) whereas the students’ expense books were in the lowest average ( = 3.11). 2. The students’ views on good citizen characteristics of this University classified by the students’ backgrounds can be found out as follows. The students’ different genders were significantly different on the basic background characteristics as well as knowledge and skill at 0.05. The students’ different classes were significantly different on economic aspect at 0.05. The students’ different departments were significantly different on good citizen characteristics as a whole at 0.01.

Encourage the students to join the existing activities including the activities outside the university up to the students’ own interest by setting up the importance of joining activities setting the requirement of hours numbers of activities classes and types of activities students have to accomplish.

The purpose of this study is to compare four forecasting methods on SET Index SET 50 Index and SET 100 index. These methods are Simple Exponential Smoothing Holt’s Method Box-Jenkins Method and Regression Analysis. Two sets of Index data were used in this study. The first one used as a training set was collected at the end of each day from January 2 2008 to September 30 2011. The other one used as a testing set was collected at the end of each day from October 3 2011 to October 14 2011. The diagnostic check was used to test each method. The MAE MSE and MAPE from each method shows that Box-Jenkins is more appropriate to the forecasting of SET Index SET 50 Index and SET 100 Index because its MAE MSE and MAPE are fairly low and have no autocorrelations. This leads to the conclusion that the appropriate models for forecasting of SET Index SET 50 Index and SET 100 Index are ARIMA (212) ARIMA (213) and ARIMA (213) respectively. The most stock market indices are correlated to SET Index SET 50 Index and SET 100 Index is Composite Index of Indonesia

Development Project of Application of germinated brown rice in Thai deserts aimed to develop 3 kinds of Thai dessert recipes and process which consisted of Bua loi Frozen Taohuay Lot Chong (A traditional Thai dessert consisting of rambutans in coconut sauce). The result was found that Bua loi Frozen from germinated brown rice was developed by using germinated brown rice and water for Pre-Gelatinization ratio at 2:3 and sticky rice was at 30 gram. Bua loi Frozen at -18 C was thaw in microwave at 70 power 2 minute. The product tested was accepted moderately. The result was found found that Taohuay from germinated brown rice was developed by using germinated brown rice and fresh milk ratio at 100:0 and stability was agar. Taohua tested was accepted moderately. It was found that the product was accepted and there was statistically significant difference at p< 0.05. Lot Chong from germinated brown rice was developed by using germinated brown rice 60 percent and Time for Pre-Gelatinization at 30 minute. Shelf Life Study of Bua loi Frozen at 4 mouth. Taohuay in refrigerator at 1 mouth the product was separate and Lot Chong in refrigerator at 2 week the product was rancid smell and decay to not accept from consumer.
