  • Thai political regime is said to have returned to bureaucratic polity or semi-democracy. However this kind of perspective do not find the political interference of Privy Council which is a body of Monarch of Thailand. Therefore this paper tries to discover the unique traits of Thai way of constitutional monarchy which can be defined as the modern form of absolute monarchy. In short Thai way of constitutional monarchy based on network politics is contradictary to the normal constitutional monarchy whose norm is "the king reigns, but does not rule." This means Thai king is in politics not above politics in reality. Thai monarchy has interfered in diversive way in terms of mediating political conflicts and protecting the monarchy as a institution. In this process the king has been worshiped as demigod who practises the Buddhist doctrine and the centre of national integration. Even after the 6 Ocober 1976 massacre which the palace involved King Bhumibol Adulyadej's sacred position was not challenged. Rather $l{\grave{e}}se-majest{\acute{e}}$ law became more draconian for status quo. Since then $l{\grave{e}}se-majest{\acute{e}}$ was cited as one of the major rationale for the military coup. The 2006 coup which was triggered by the clash between network Monarchy and bourgeois polity based on Thakin network marked a surge of the $l{\grave{e}}se-majest{\acute{e}}$ cases. The 2014 coup had consecutively increased the number of $l{\grave{e}}se-majest{\acute{e}}$ prisoners. It can be said that the modern form of absolute monarchy in Thailand including bureaucratic polity, semi-democracy and democracy is bounded by $l{\grave{e}}se-majest{\acute{e}}$ law which network monarchy players such as military, intellectuals, Democrat Party and even some civil society groups support.

  • Empirical research into Đại Việt before the $14^{th}$ century has made little progress since the 1990s. To improve this situation, I here examine how the L$\acute{y}$ dynasty (1009-1226), the first long-lasting dynasty of Đại Việt, established stable local ruleafter the "Tang-Song Transition" in China that changed the entire picture of East Asia (including both Southeast and Northeast Asia). This paper focuses on two issues. First are the local administrative units and their governors. The nature of both higher units like lộ(circuits), phủ and ch$\hat{a}$u (provinces), and basic units like hươg and gi$\acute{a}$p (districts?) will be examined. Second, I examine non-institutional channels of local rule by the imperial family. By combining such administrative and non-administrative means, the L$\acute{y}$ central court enforced a considerably stable local rule for two centuries. Finally, I attempt some preliminary comparisons with the local rule of Goryeo (918-1392) in the Korean peninsula, a polity that shared many features with Đại Việt in the process of localization of the Tang and Song models. I hope this approach of viewing small empires from the standpoint not of their "goal" (modern states) but of their "start" (charter polities), will enrich the discussion of East Asian small empires.

  • This study is basically focused on the relationship between the franchisors and franchisees. The goal of this study is mainly to inquire the variables of relationship characteristics affecting the commitment which lies in internal polity, and secondly to comprehensively analyze the performance resulting from commitment and examine the efficient alternatives onto relationship management. The practical methodology using in this study has been done in a national representing food franchise system. This study has been resulted in following: First, the variables that show significantly to the commitment are noncoercive influential strategy, dependence, cooperation, and goal divergence. In the contrast the coercive influential strategy hasn't showed significantly; Second, the result has showed that the commitment when it would be related with performance furthered the financial performance and role performance; and. therefore, we finally conclude that it would be more important to make lots of efforts of establishing the win-win relationship through the long-term commitment between the franchisor and franchisee in order to develop the more effective relationship of the franchise system.

  • This thesis is to analyze and assess a new refuse collection system that was based on the term of discharge based quantity and collection of refuse from the beginning on January 1, 1995.In the case study for the refuse collection policy of metropolitan Taegu city based on the year of operation, ie, before 1994, after 1995 and as of 1998, the refuse collection policy analyzed from current position and actual condition. The results of analysis as follows. In case of discharged refuse quantity was show 20.4% reduction than the operation was begun and more 5.8% reduction as of 1998.Under the operation of the refuse collection system, therefore, management of refuse and garbage, the reduction of discharged refuse, activation of refuse collection, Recycling and expansion of financial self-reliance increased efficiency of refuse collection system. In the conclusion, more perfect refuse collection system should be developed of implemented in the near future.

  • Experiments on deactivation kinetics of immobilized lipase enzyme from Candida cyl-indracea were performed in stirred bath reactor using rice bran oil as the substrate and temperature as the deactivation parameter. The data were fitted In first order deactivation model. The effect of temperature on deactivation rate was represented by Arrhenius equation. Theoretical equations were developed based on pseudo-steady state approximation and Michaelis -Menten rate expression to predict the time course of conversion due to enzyme deactivation and apparent half-life of the immobilized enzyme activity in PFR and CSTH under constant feed rate polity for no diffusion limitation and diffusion limitation of first order. Stability of enzyme in these continuous reactors was predicted and factors affecting the stability were analyzed.

  • This paper proposes a stepdown warranty policy: the warranty period consists of subintervals where the manufacturer's compensation is constant for warranty failures and decreases with the subinterval's number. Manufacturer's unit warranty cost is analyzed for both irrepairable and repairable products. we assume that only minimal repairs are performed for repairable items. Comparison with the free replacement polity indicates that the proposed policy has a longer warranty period if tile warranty reserves are the same and that manufacturer`s unit warranty cost is smaller if the warranty periods are tile same. Some numerical examples are also given.

  • IPCC reported that 17% of the global GHGs emission is from transport sector. Road transport sector contributes to 70% of transport sector's GHGs emission. Nowadays, Climate change is a global issue and railway transport is marked as an environmental friendly transport mode. For decreasing the GHGs emission of road transport sector which occupies almost of transport sector's GHGs emission, railway transport is emphasized as a environment friendly alternative transport. In this paper, For the promotion of railway transport's role about climate change, I indicated the direction of South Korea's railway transport policy by analyzing some countries' modal shifts and railway transport's climate change policy.

  • The most generalized form of the triadic operating policy for an M/G/1 queueing model is developed. It consists of three simple N, T and D operating policies and has a peculiar structure possessing concepts of dyadic policies. Using the concept of the pseudo probability density function of the busy period, its expected busy period for the controllable M/G/1 queueing model is derived. Since the obtained result is the most generalized form the triadic polity, the expected busy periods for all known dyadic policies are recovered as special cases from it.
