Carbide Insert efficiency development of this research equivalent to standard insert type : SEKN1203AFTN. For the higher operating efficiency is the machining time by the tool life increased for rough machine of face milling machine. Flank designed to have a flow slot coolant flow rate of coolant to have a incrased convenient flow as a result the surface and cutting edges less heat. The machining ability is different compared to the unslot in flank. The flank slot reduces the contact and slot which to have coolant flow and friction force milling machining. As a result the milling time was 26.31% the vibration was reduced by 35% and the workpiece surface Roughness was reduced 62.79%. As a result to development the phototype product is performance in using and cutting edge increased. It can be apply in using Cement Tungsten Carbide in sustainable industries.

This research aimed to study the factors affecting return of gold futures in Thailand futures exchange. The study used the daily historical data of five years from January 1 2011 - December 31 2015. There were five factors to be used in the study. They were Interbank Rate Set Index Exchange World Crude Oil Price and Gold Price and Used the Descriptive statistics to test the basic data and the Multiple Regression Analysis to test the hypothesis. The study found that the Interbank Rate Set Index Exchange Rate World Crude Oil Price and Gold Price were able to forecast the Coefficient of Determination (R2) approximately at 0.617. It showed that the independent variables in the model could explain the change of dependent variable at 61.70% and found that the most affecting factors on return of gold futures were Gold Price and Interbank rate by having the same directional relationship with the return of the Gold Futures in the Thailand Futures Exchange.

The objectives of the research were; 1) to Study the level of competitive advantage and 2) the factors that its influences through the competitive advantage. The population and sample group used in this research were an executive director owner manager general manager and the chief accountant and finance of 3-5 star hotels and resorts in Phuket by using questionnaire (IOC tested) the construct validity and reliability for 89 complete questionnaire that it was responded rate 23.18. The results of this investigation were as follows: 1) An efficiency of using asset to make a profit; Impact of competitive environment was found that the negative result in significant level at (α˂0.10). 2) Customer loyalty for products and services was found that the positive influencing factors such as good corporate governance at (α˂0.01); strategic management efficiency at (α˂0.01); and Internal controls effective following COSO at (α˂0.10) respectively. 3) Reputation of the business was found that the Positive influencing factors such as Internal controls effective following COSO (α ˂ 0.01); Good corporate governance and Strategic management efficiency at (α ˂ 0.05). and 4) Value of assets that value added to business was found that the positive influencing factors as well as Strategic management efficiency; Internal controls effective following COSO respectively in statistically significant level at (α ˂ 0.01). While the technology and innovation (α˂0.05) and good corporate governance positive that made the influences beyond the positive regression in statistically significant level at (α ˂ 0.10) respectively. Keywords : Competitive Advantage; Internal Controls Effective following COSO; Strategic Management Efficiency; Impacet of Competitive Environment; Good Corporate Governance; and Technology and Innovation

The purposes of this research are to study the causal relationship model about the influence of social responsibility on corporate image and brand loyalty of bird’s nest industry and to verify the consistency of the model with empirical data. 352 samples are the consumers of bird’s nest product who live or work in Bangkok. The research tools include questionnaire Statistical Package for the Social Science for Windows Program for statistical analysis and Linear Structural Relationship Model for analyzing causal relationship model. The result shows that the model of the influence of social responsibility on corporate image and brand loyalty of bird’s nest industry is consistent with empirical data considered by the chi-square statistics = 18.86 df = 11 p–value = 0.06 GFI = 0.99 AGFI = 0.95 SRMR = 0.021 RMSEA = 0.045. All variables in the model indicate that the variance of the brand loyalty of bird’s nest industry is at 77%. The social responsibility has a positive direct influence on the brand loyalty and indirect influence on the corporate image. Moreover the corporate image directly influences the brand loyalty. The result indicates that positive social responsibility makes good corporate image and it resulted in brand loyalty.

The objective of this research was to analyze determinants of nonperforming loans (NPLs) in commercial banking industry of Thailand during 2005 and 2014. This study used quarterly secondary data from the 1st quarter 2005 to the 4th quarter 2014 totaling 40 quarters. Descriptive statistics for testing data and econometric method for analyzing equation and multiple regression analysis for testing the hypothesis were used. The results of this research showed that the nonperforming loans (NPLs) in commercial banking industry of Thailand was positively related to the size of commercial bank with a confidence level of 95%but negatively related to consumer price index and prime rate with a confidence level of 95%. Loan-to-deposit ratio gross domestic product and loan volume were not related to NPLs.
