Driving Precision Farming Innovation for Self-Reliance in an Aging Farming Society

2026-04-16T21:04:45+07:00

This research consists purposes were 1. to examine patterns of precision agriculture adoption among elderly farmers 2. to analyze the processes of learning, technology acceptance and adaptation of precision agriculture for self-reliance and 3. to synthesize appropriate approaches for promoting precision agriculture in an aging farming society. The study employed a qualitative research approach, using in-depth interviews as the primary research instrument. The target participants consisted of 20 individuals from four groups, selected through purposive sampling. The data collected from the in-depth interviews were subsequently analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal that 1) Precision agriculture in the context of older adults does not necessarily manifest as the adoption of advanced technologies. Rather, it represents a management system that appropriately selects and utilizes basic technologies in accordance with the physical, economic and lifestyle constraints of older farmers. Its primary objectives are to reduce costs, improve the efficiency of resource management and alleviate labor burdens 2) The processes of learning and technology adoption occur primarily through hands-on practice, experience sharing, and social networks. Technology acceptance is influenced more by ease of use and tangible outcomes than by the technological sophistication or novelty of the technology itself and 3) The advancement of precision agriculture should therefore emphasize the design of technologies and learning systems that are appropriate for older adults, together with the development of learning communities that support self-reliance and the maintenance of active aging through knowledge and learning. This study proposes that precision agriculture in an aging agricultural society should be reconceptualized as a social innovation, rather than merely as an agricultural technology. It further proposes the concept of contextual precision to explain the selection and application of technologies that are aligned with the lifestyles, capabilities and needs of older adults.

Enhancing the Efficiency of Investigations in Money Laundering Offenses: A Study of the Integration of Investigative and Prosecutorial Functions under the Anti-Money Laundering Act B.E. 2542

2026-03-17T23:43:48+07:00

This research consists purposes were 1. to study the principles, concepts and theories related to the investigation and investigative powers in criminal cases involving money laundering under the Anti-Money Laundering Act B.E. 2542 (1999) 2. to compare the investigative powers of police officers and public prosecutors under Thai and foreign laws 3. to analyze the limitations, problems and impacts of the money laundering investigation system under the Anti-Money Laundering Act B.E. 2542 (1999) on the efficiency of the justice system in Thailand and 4. to suggest ways to amend and improve laws regarding the investigative powers for offenses under the Anti-Money Laundering Act B.E. 2542 (1999). This study employed a qualitative research approach based on a comprehensive review of relevant documentary sources, including textbooks, theses, academic publications, legal provisions, legal documents and publications, as well as information disseminated through electronic media in both Thai and foreign languages. The data collected from these relevant documentary sources were subsequently analyzed using content analysis. The findings indicate that 1) improving the efficiency of money laundering investigations requires transparency, accountability and effectiveness Based on the rule of law and civil liberties, the researcher suggests that 2) In other countries, the concept of state-led criminal prosecution exists, such as in the United States and France, where prosecutors are empowered to participate in the investigation of money laundering cases from the outset 3) Money laundering is a serious and complex crime, intertwined with other crimes such as drug trafficking, gambling, prostitution, human trafficking and corruption and often involves influential figures and politicians. The current Criminal Procedure Code grants investigative powers solely to investigating officers, which may lead to inefficient investigation and prosecution processes and 4) Therefore, the researcher recommends amending the Anti-Money Laundering Act B.E. 2542 (1999) to stipulate that prosecutor participate in and be responsible for the investigation and prosecution of money laundering offenses from the beginning until the case is concluded. This would treat the investigation and prosecution of money laundering offenses as a single, inseparable process, thereby improving the efficiency of investigations and prosecutions and aligning with the specific characteristics of money laundering cases.

Problems of Criminal Sanctions: A Case Study on Intentional Non-Submission and False Declaration of Assets and Liabilities under the Organic Act on Anti-Corruption B.E. 2561 (2018)

2026-05-05T20:22:56+07:00

This research consists purposes were 1. to study concepts and theories concerning criminal liability in the process of auditing statements of assets and liabilities 2. to compare legal measures applied to the auditing of asset and liability declarations of public officials in Thailand, the United States, and the French Republic 3. to analyze systemic and procedural problems in the auditing mechanisms and 4. to propose recommendations for improving legal measures to enhance the effectiveness of asset and liability auditing. This study adopted a qualitative research approach utilizing documentary research methods. Data were collected from a wide range of relevant documentary sources, including books, academic publications and judicial decisions. The collected data were systematically analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal that 1) the concepts and theories regarding criminal liability in cases of intentional failure to submit, or intentional submission of false asset and liability declarations, remain inadequately aligned with appropriate penalties 2) Thailand, the United States and France clearly stipulate sanctions for late submission and define “spouse” strictly as a legally recognized partner 3) the offense concerning cohabitation as husband and wife without legal registration, as defined under the National Anti-Corruption Commission’s Regulation (No. 2) B.E. 2568 (2025), lacks sufficient clarity, leading to misinterpretation and potential misuse by declarants to deny responsibility and 4) the study recommends amending the Organic Act on Anti-Corruption B.E. 2561(2018) to explicitly prescribe penalties for late submission, ensure proportionality of criminal sanctions and provide a clearer definition of cohabitation as husband and wife.

A Study on the Presentation of Purpose-Expressing Grammar “Tameni” and “Youni” in Elementary Japanese Textbooks

2026-04-02T22:57:02+07:00

This research consists purposes were 1. to analyze and compare the content, grammatical explanations, and exercises regarding the usage of the purposive expressions “Tameni” and “Youni” appearing in elementary Japanese textbooks and 2. to propose instructional guidelines for these grammar points suitable for the context of Thai learners. This study employed a qualitative research approach using documentary research methodology. The research instrument was a content analysis form developed based on theoretical frameworks. The target group comprised three elementary Japanese textbooks widely used in Thai educational institutions: Minna no Nihongo, Akiko to Tomodachi and Daichi, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using content analysis to compare distinctive features and observations. The results revealed that 1) In terms of content presentation, each textbook has distinct emphases. Minna no Nihongo provides the clearest explanation regarding verb volition. Daichi is notable for specifying restrictions on the use of the potential form. Akiko to Tomodachi emphasizes learning through situational contexts. However, a significant observation is that all three textbooks fail to clearly specify the condition regarding subject unity in the main and subordinate clauses, and they lack exercises designed to prevent errors stemming from Negative Transfer and 2) Instructional guidelines for Thai learners should emphasize comparing the differences between volitional and non-volitional verbs, verifying the subject of the sentence, and providing sufficient input to mitigate negative transfer from the Thai word “Puea,” which encompasses all contexts.

Data were collected from a variety of documentary sources, including legal textbooks, academic journal articles, theses, legal codes, statutory laws, regulations and electronic legal information databases from both domestic and international sources. The collected data were then systematically examined and interpreted through content analysis. The research findings indicate that 1) the measures for acquiring communication data and computer data are not yet consistent with the principles of rights and freedoms and the principle of proportionality 2) money laundering is a victimless and highly complex crime, rendering conventional investigation methods insufficient combined with a rising trend of money laundering in Thailand, it is necessary to employ measures for accessing communication data and computer data as tools for combating such offenses 3) the existing measures for acquiring communication data and computer data remain inadequate for gathering evidence, preventing and suppressing money laundering crimes and protecting civil liberties, in contrast to the legal frameworks of the United States of America and the Federal Republic of Germany and 4) guidelines should be established to improve the measures for acquiring communication data and computer data to make them more appropriate and effective, including designating such measures as a last resort, empowering the Secretary-General of the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) to proceed with data acquisition under defined conditions in urgent or emergency cases, establishing a remediation mechanism for those adversely affected by the unlawful use of such measures and granting competent officials the authority to order service providers to disclose communication data or computer data upon court authorization, regardless of whether such data is stored within or outside the Kingdom of Thailand.
