Aditep Koerdseang — 2025-12-30

The independent study Political Ideology of Pheu Thai PartyLeaders and Determinants of Their Decision to Support Party Candidates in Sukhothai Province by qualitative method that individual interview for people inresearch criteria with snowball sampling method such as village headman, subdistrict headman and assistant secretary Pheu Thai Party Member of parliament that aimed to examine the relationship between the political ideology ofPheu Thai Party leaders and their decisions to support Pheu Thai Party candidates in Sukhothai Province.

The findings reveal that political ideology is closely related to decision-making in candidate support. This is because the target group’s decision-making process reflects the theory of non-conscious cognitivemachinery, in which respondents provided answers containing internal inconsistencies and attempted to rationalize their own decisions. Such a decision-making pattern is characterized as a state of moral paralysis. For instance,interviewees claimed that the current policies of the Pheu Thai Party benefit the people most, referring to past policies such as the 30-baht universal healthcare scheme. The researcher agreed that this was a constructive welfare-state approach to addressing structural problems. However, at present, the Pheu Thai Party no longer pursues such welfare-based policies, relying instead on capitalist and populist measures in its campaigns. In contrast, the Move Forward Party presents policies that best address structural problems. Yet, according to respondents, even while defining the “best policies” as those of the Move Forward Party, they still expressed negative sentiments toward this party. These contradictions highlight the internal inconsistencies in respondents’ reasoning as they attempted to justify their continued support for the Pheu Thai Party in the 2023 general election, despite the conflicting rationales underlying their decisions.

A mixed-methods approach was employed. The quantitative component involved a sample of 400 citizens aged 18 years and over who had accessed services from LAOs in the study area, selected through stratified random sampling. Qualitative data were obtained from in-depth interviews with 10 key informants, including executives, information technology officers, and citizen representatives. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis, while qualitative data were examined through content analysis.The findings indicated that overall public service development through the OSS system was at a high level, particularly in terms of service accessibility and delivery speed. Differences in perceptions were found only across occupational groups at the 0.05 significance level. Multiple regression results showed that digital organizational factors namely digital culture, digital mindset, digitalknowledge and skills, and digital processes were significant predictors of OSSeffectiveness at the 0.01 level, with digital culture exerting the strongest influence. Based on these findings, the proposed development guidelines emphasize strengthening digital infrastructure, enhancing inter-agency data integration, expanding online service channels, developing personnel digitalcompetencies, and promoting citizen participation to support effective and sustainable digital transformation at the local level.

Depression in Adolescents: Early Warning Signs and School-Based Interventions

Malai Boonma — 2025-12-30

Adolescent depression is a pressing global concern with serious consequences for emotional, cognitive, and social development. Earlywarning signs, including academic decline, social withdrawal, fatigue, and negative self-talk, are frequently overlooked due to stigma and atypical presentation. Schools, as daily points of contact with adolescents, are uniquely positioned to play a central role in early detection and intervention. This article clarifies diagnostic criteria, analyzes emotional, behavioral, physical, and cognitive indicators, and examines biological, psychological, and social risk factors contributing to adolescent depression. It evaluates the effectiveness of school-based interventions, including counseling services, peer support programs, and mental health literacy initiatives, while emphasizing the importance of systematic observation and the use of screening tools in educational contexts. Findings highlight that equipping educators with evidence-based strategies and practical tools enhances their capacity to identify and respond to depressive symptoms. Integrating these approaches into school systems provides an innovative framework for resilience-building, stigma reduction, and long-term well-being among adolescents in Thailand and beyond.
