The main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between teachers’
perceptions towards their leadership capacity and the school’s organizational climate at Choi Hung
Estate Catholic School, Hong Kong, China. The theories used in this study were Hersey-Blanchard
Situational Leadership Theory, Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, and Stage-Environment Fit
Theory. The survey collected data covered the whole population, 103 teachers of the selected institute participated. The research instrument was an online questionnaire including 1) Demographic information, 2) School Organizational Climate Questionnaire, and 3) the Teacher Leadership Capacity Questionnaire. The raw data collected was analyzed by frequency and percentages, descriptive statistics, and as well as standard deviation and finally, the correlation coefficient was analyzed using
Pearson product. The results of the study indicated that the teacher’s perception of their leadership
capacity was moderate (3.35), the level of school climate was moderate (3.07). The Pearson Product measuring correlation analysis indicated that there was a significant relationship between the teacher’s
perception of their leadership capacity as well as the school organizational climate were found to be
moderately positively correlated, r (103) =.547**, p = . 001. The school administration and the
teachers in the target school are recommended to enhance and embrace training programs for them to
enhance consistency, compassion, care as well as problem-solving.
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between teachers’ perception
towards the division head’s transformational leadership style and teachers’ motivation at Phuket
Thaihua Asean Wittaya School, Thailand. The theories used in this study were transformational leadership style and Herzberg’s Motivation- Hygiene Theory. The research instrument was an online
questionnaire including 1) Demographic information, 2) Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) 5X Short, 3) Teacher Motivation Questionnaire (TMQ). Statistics used in this study included
Frequency and Percentage, Mean and Standard Deviation of Descriptive statistics, and Pearson
Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. By analyzing the research results, the level of teachers’
perception towards the division head’s transformational leadership style was moderate (3.05), while
the level of teachers’ motivation was high (4.05). Moreover, teachers’ perception towards the division head’s transformational leadership style and teachers’ motivation at Phuket Thaihua Asean Wittaya
School, Thailand were found to be moderately positively correlated, r (129) =.466**, p = . 001. The
recommendation was that the division head should consider improving more transformational leadership style to influence teachers’ motivation.
The main purpose of this research was to study the relationship of the teachers’ perception
towards their organizational culture and their level of job satisfaction at Kantana Institute in Thailand
during the academic year 2021-2022. A total of one hundred and twenty-three (123) from the English
department under International Education at Kantana Institute were surveyed for this study. The main resource of data was the questionnaire that investigated the teacher’s perception towards
organizational culture and their job satisfaction at Kantana Institute. The collected data were analyzed
by using the mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The
research findings indicated that the level of organizational culture was high in the school and from the
results of the teachers’ job satisfaction. The correlation analysis result showed there was a strong
positive relationship between teachers’ perception towards organizational culture and their level of
job satisfaction. The recommendations based on the results showed 1) Teachers constantly improve
their adaptability, increase their sense of responsibility as teachers, and actively communicate with
administrators to reflect their views on the surrounding environment, 2) Future researchers should
extend their studies to public and private higher education institutions to better assess lecturers’ job
satisfaction and organizational culture, and 3) Managers' perceptions of organizational culture and job satisfaction also need to be considered. In order to have a deeper understanding and be more accurate, descriptive explanatory exploratory research, qualitative, qualitative, and quantitative research
methods should all be considered.

Internet of Things in Agriculture: a Case Study of Smart Dairy Farming in On...Dr Poonsri Vate-U-Lan
Publish in Proceeding of the 15th International Conference on Developing Real-Life Learning Experience: Smart Education for Sustainable Development (DRLE2017), King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) Bangkok, Thailand. June 16, 2017
The objective of this paper is to report a case study of smart dairy farming in Ontario, Canada which is the future of food production and ways that advancements related to the Internet of Things (IoT). It is impacting upon agricultural practice in the form of smart farming. Smart farming is the practice of intelligent agricultural management based upon technological data gathering farm practice for the purpose of increased levels of quality, production, and environmental protection. This paper will illustrate one example whereby partnerships among the academic world, government agencies and local food producing communities in Canada are adapting innovative thinking and smart technologies to address the need to implement the more effective agricultural practice. Food From Thought is a Canadian research project, based upon high-tech information systems to produce enough food for a growing human population while sustaining the Earth’s ecosystems. The paper will outline how one dairy farmer in Ontario has been able to apply smart farming technologies to increase milk production while maintaining the health of his cattle and preserving the environment. The review of applications of smart farming in Ontario such as digital tracking for a cow, genomic testing, digitally signaled birth, sensor driven crop management and data driven dairy production also details in this article.

‘Phygital’ or physical plus digital,
is a combination of a physical circumstances
or tangible objects and digital or online
technology-driven experience. This paper
introduces a challenge on potential phygital
learning environments that may induce
superior learning experiences for students
as compared to experienced realized
through either physical or digital
experiences. ‘Phygital learning’ is a novel
design concept to induce a new dimension of
learning experiences while students interact
with the physical context simultaneously as
the digital information similarly enhances
levels of competence. The authors also
illustrate a conceptual idea of phygital
learning which transforms theory to
practice. Finally, the paper argues that the
new concept of phygital can elevate
learning outcomes in alignment with 21st
Century technology by adding a form of
smart data as opposed to big data into the
mix to address a broader array of learning
styles.
In the context of higher
education, e-business can be viewed as the
series of interconnected processes initiated
with student application for entry and
completed upon graduation. While
e-learning is an integral component of this
process, the assessment component remains
primarily manual. This leads to an
educational paradox whereby students are
encouraged to e-learn, on one hand, while
they are imposed in old-fashioned
assessment practices, on the other. It also
establishes a business paradox whereby
universities strive to maximize their
financial incomes through research funding
but still do not exploit ICTs to minimize
their costs in the pillar of assessment. As
ICT skills span the requirements of
university students horizontally and across
departments, developing an e-Assessment
System for ICT skills could address both
paradoxes. This paper presents an
e-Assessment system implemented within a
nursing university department setting with
79 participants in Cyprus. Findings of a
quasi-experimental design that validated
the system’s effectiveness indicate that
performance of students who used the
system were significantly different than
those students who followed a traditional
learning process.
The Oxymoron of Serious Games in eLearning: Gender Differences from an Intern...Dr Poonsri Vate-U-Lan
This research study examined gender attitudes towards playing serous games in eLearning contexts as there is a lack of
comprehensive reports and academic commentary on how to apply and link serious games effectively to learning. The results
were based on a large scale Internet-based survey, which involved 803 participants drawn from every region in Thailand. Sixtyone
per cent of participants were females (61.2%) and the majority of them were teenagers and adult (36.8% and 24.1%
respectively). The survey sought information on participants’ attitudes and behaviours related to their computer game
preferences, game-playing habits and their attitudes to playing computer games. A 5-point Likert scale in comparing the two
gender groups was used. The study addressed its core research question: what are the attitudes and behaviours of each gender
group towards playing educational computer games? Sub questions were asked complementing the overall question and are
elaborated upon in the text. The research results showed that participants chose both virtual game activity on the computer and
actual activity in reality as their favourite activity on an equal basis (39.8%). The actual activity was slightly preferred rather than
the virtual game (29.2% and 24.6% respectively). Almost half the participants chose only an entertaining computer game while a
minority preferred to play educational computer games (49.2% and 15.1% respectively). Actually playing computer games
generated both high levels of positive engagement and anxiety that were blended responses - as opposed to being separate.
Computer games are played for their relaxation but increasing risks of eyestrain featured in this research. The research findings
confirmed that females thought differently about playing computer games to their male counterparts.
Text Neck Epidemic: a Growing Problem for Smart Phone Users in ThailandDr Poonsri Vate-U-Lan
This research study examined the
rapid changes in computer user behavior
among Thai internet users, and analyzed
differences in the computer health risk
between desktop users and mobile device
users. The emphasis is on “Text Neck”
which has become a global epidemic
affecting millions of people of all ages using
various computer devices. The purpose of
this study was to consider the incidence and
relationship between health problems, and
Thai Internet users’ behavior on computer
and smart devices. The main research
instrument was an internet-based survey
which yielded 642 responses. The research
findings reflected that the text neck health
problem in Thailand is growing. This
survey found that the smart phone device
was the most popular computer application
rather than desktop computers as almost
two thirds of Thais always have their smart
phones with them. The research isolated
other behaviors of Thai computer users that
contribute to health problems as the survey
found that almost two thirds of respondents
never wear glasses to protect their eyes
from the blue light that emanates from
computer screens (64.33%). Almost one
third of participants continuously worked
on the computer without a break (30.84%).
On occasions, 62.3 percent of users
experienced pain in the neck and/or
shoulder regions when working on the
computer.
Foresight e-Learning Platforms: Insights from an Online Survey in ThailandDr Poonsri Vate-U-Lan
Instant messaging applications on electronic devices such as smart phones and tablet computers is reshaping communication around the globe. This phenomenon might lead to a new channel for e-learning delivery. The first objective of this research was to investigate the behavior of Thai Internet users through data obtained from an online self-administered survey. The second focus was to investigate the level of compliance specifically relating to the Internet users’ acknowledgement of the “terms of service” which do not permit children under thirteen to be members. The results obtained from the 819 survey respondents reinforce the disturbing misuse of social network on mobile devices in particular. Among the participants, 61.4 per cent were female. Persons aged 11-20 years were the biggest group of participants (36.4%), and those aged 21-30 years represented 23.9 per cent with the remaining group being over 30 years (39.7 %). Urban and rural respondents were almost balanced (52% and 48% respectively). The findings reconfirmed that surfing social networks was the most popular mobile phone activity for both female and male respondents. This research showed that less than one out of four (23.9%) of Thai Internet users knew that a child under 13 was not allowed to apply for a Facebook account. Interestingly, the younger users under the age of 13 years knew that it was illegal to be social network members but the older users were unaware of this regulation. The inconsistencies between each demographic group will be discussed in detail. The research findings reflect numerous and significant problems in the digital learning context of Thai citizens.
Foresight eLearning Platforms: Insights from a Thai Survey by Poonsri Vate-U-LanDr Poonsri Vate-U-Lan
This survey examined the online activities of Thai internet users to predict the future of eLearning platforms. The survey found that the most common online activities on mobile devices were social networking, watching videos, and playing games. Males spent more time playing games while females used social media more. Most participants felt current eLearning platforms do not encourage enjoyment of online learning. The conclusion suggests eLearning platforms should incorporate more interactive social features like photos, videos and chatting to better engage students online. Protecting young children from online threats was also highlighted as important.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
