Intrafamilial Role Changes And The Process Of Overcoming Identity Crisis Of Paternal Characters In German And Thai Novels(Innerfamiliärer Rollentausch Und Bewältigung Der Identitätskrise Der Vaterfiguren In Deutschen Und Thailändischen Romanen), Atthaphon Techaphan Dec 2018

Intrafamilial Role Changes And The Process Of Overcoming Identity Crisis Of Paternal Characters In German And Thai Novels(Innerfamiliärer Rollentausch Und Bewältigung Der Identitätskrise Der Vaterfiguren In Deutschen Und Thailändischen Romanen), Atthaphon Techaphan

Journal of Letters

This article focuses on the problems of identity and paternal roles experienced by paternal characters in German and Thai novels published after 1990. The analysis discusses how new facets of fatherhood, which are the result of the interchange of family roles between men and women and of the increased prevalence of single-parent families, are problematized on the fictional level. The study details the struggles of paternal characters to adjust to their newly assigned roles, to associate themselves with these roles, their alienation from society and the conflict between the male identity and the changing condition in being a father. Struggles …

Surgical Treatment For Tubular Colonic Duplication Communicating To Retroperitoneal Space In An Adult Dog, Nithida Boonwittaya, Piyathip Choochalermporn, Sunee Kunakornsawat, Teerapol Sirinarumitr

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Canine colonic duplication is a rare congenital anomaly, usually symptomatic in the first year of life, with the common signs of bowel obstruction. Most importantly, colonic duplication in an adult dog has not been reported. This case document reports a non-communicating tubular colonic duplication with concurrent retroperitoneal mass in a 3- year-old female crossbred dog, presented for further diagnosis and treatment of the abdominal mass. Without any remarkable clinical signs, physical examination noted only abdominal distension with mild discomfort. Ultrasonography demonstrated a large mass in the mid-caudal abdomen, a tubular mass appearance on the colonic wall and the presence of …

The Honorific System In German As A Phenomenon Of Courtesy: The Culturally Contrastive Analysis Of Foreign Language Learning Exemplified Through The Use Of The Personal Pronouns Du And Sie By Thai German-Learners At Chiang Mai University(Honorativsystem Im Deutschen Als Höflichkeits-Phänomen: Die Kulturkontrastive Analyse Im Fremdsprachenlernen Am Beispiel Des Gebrauchs Der Personalpronomina Du Oder Sie Der Thailändischen Deutschlernenden An Der Universität Chiang Mai), Praiwan Loto

Journal of Letters

Honorifics are the grammatical encoding of (or by the upper) social rank or intimacy between speakers, listeners, and third parties (cf. Bußmann 2002, 284). Whereas the honorific system is present within Thai and German speech communities, the possibilities of structurally realizing courtesy and politeness in both languages vary. This study focuses on whether Thai German-learners use German personal pronouns "du" and "Sie" appropriately, which socio-cultural factors play roles in choosing Germanpersonal pronouns "du" and "Sie", and which language interferences are present. This study observes that in various conversations Thai students majoring in German at Chiang Mai University were able to …

Review Of The Cardiovascular Toxicity Of Amitriptyline Treatment For Canine Neuropathic Pain, Saikaew Sutayatram, Kumpanart Soontornvipart, Piyasiri Glangosol

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Nowadays, the lifespan of pets has been increased by improvements in veterinary practice but age-related disorders are also increasing. Several nervous system attenuations are well-known to be the result of aging and/or pathological lesions. In many cases, neuropathic pain (NP) can develop and cause a significant impact on the clinical outcome and quality of life. With the difficulty in identification of the specific cause of NP, most NP management is planned according to clinical manifestations and recommended trial therapy. The drug of choice for trial therapy seems to be amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant with multiple effects on neurotransmitter receptors and …


Three Travelogues About Thailand: Ehlers' Im Sattel Durch Indo-China, Hesse-Wartegg's Siam: Das Reich Des Weissen Elefanten Und Hosseus' Durch König Tschulalongkorns Reich(Drei Reisebeschreibungen Über Thailand: Ehlers' Im Sattel Durch Indo-China, Hesse-Warteggs Siam: Das Reich Des Weissen Elefanten Undhosseus'durch König Tschulalongkorns Reich), Aratee Kaewsumrit Dec 2018

Three Travelogues About Thailand: Ehlers' Im Sattel Durch Indo-China, Hesse-Wartegg's Siam: Das Reich Des Weissen Elefanten Und Hosseus' Durch König Tschulalongkorns Reich(Drei Reisebeschreibungen Über Thailand: Ehlers' Im Sattel Durch Indo-China, Hesse-Warteggs Siam: Das Reich Des Weissen Elefanten Undhosseus'durch König Tschulalongkorns Reich), Aratee Kaewsumrit

Journal of Letters

The article examines the representation of Thailand in three travelogues: Otto Ehrenfried Ehlers' Im Sattel durch Indochina (1894), Ernst von Hesse-Wartegg's Siam. Das Reich des weissen Elefanten (1899) und Carl Curt Hosseus' Durch König Tschulalongkorns Reich (1913). The representations of Thailand in these three books have some similarities and differences, reflecting influences from different historical contexts, and each author's individual interests and perceptions of Thailand. While Ehlers' book mostly demonstrates an open and unbiased perception of Thailand's exotic culture, Hesse-Wartegg's book exhibits a Eurocentric perspective, despite the author's fascination for the unique aspects of Thai culture. Another such Eurocentric perspective …


Literature And Literature Studies In The Context Of Modern German Studies: Goals And Development Strategies(Literatur Und Literaturwissenschaft Im Kontext Moderner Auslandsgermanistik: Ziele Und Entwicklungsstrategien), Dirk Baldes Dec 2018

Literature And Literature Studies In The Context Of Modern German Studies: Goals And Development Strategies(Literatur Und Literaturwissenschaft Im Kontext Moderner Auslandsgermanistik: Ziele Und Entwicklungsstrategien), Dirk Baldes

Journal of Letters

With a focus on topics related to the study of linguistics and literature, the academic field of German Studies in Germany has developed along traditional lines, independent of the needs of foreign language philology. In contrast to the domestic conception of German Studies, the academic design of the field abroad has resulted in distinct structures - shaped individually by every single country and university.German Studies abroad has therefore departed dramatically from its central concern for the study of linguistics and literature, moving instead toward the circumference of the field. Translation, tourism, and other career-related fields - that is to say, …


Counter-Realities. Impulses For A New Didactics Of Literary History(Gegenwirklichkeiten: Anstöße Zu Einer Neuen Didaktik Der Literaturgeschichte), Karsten Lorek Dec 2018

Counter-Realities. Impulses For A New Didactics Of Literary History(Gegenwirklichkeiten: Anstöße Zu Einer Neuen Didaktik Der Literaturgeschichte), Karsten Lorek

Journal of Letters

The article aims to give a fresh impetus to the didactics of literary history. For decades literary history has been criticized by literary scholars and educationalists: Poststructuralist and deconstructivist theories often consider it obsolete, and the didactics of literature emphasizes the difficulty of operationalizing, in accordance with a competence-oriented education, a specific literary-historical competence. Following, more or less implicitly, literary theories such as New Historicism, this article points out the remaining or even growing relevance of literary history within language arts and philologies in general, but specifically within German studies abroad. Teaching literary history is conceptualized as highlighting the cultural …

Synonymous Phraseologisms On The Topic Of "Fear" In German And Vietnamese Contrastives(Synonyme Phraseologismen Zum Thema „Angst" Im Deutschen Und Vietnamesischen Kontrastiv), Nguyen Lan Anh Dec 2018

Synonymous Phraseologisms On The Topic Of "Fear" In German And Vietnamese Contrastives(Synonyme Phraseologismen Zum Thema „Angst" Im Deutschen Und Vietnamesischen Kontrastiv), Nguyen Lan Anh

Journal of Letters

Phraseologisms are essential to the understanding and use of language, providing performative range for communication and vocabulary, and for this reason they are considered part of the language system. In particular, they reflect the culture of a country and the mindset of its people, and can be thought of as units of language and culture. Therefore, by studying phraseologisms, one can gain understanding of the peculiarities of a culture, and when phraseologisms in one language are compared with those in another, differences and commonalities between the cultures and languages in question can be discerned. Synonymy plays an important role in …


War In The German Poetry Of The Baroque Period(สงครามในบทกวีนิพนธ์เยอรมันยุคบาร็อค(Der Krieg In Der Deutschen Lyrik Der Barockzeit)), Chusri Meewongukote Dec 2018

Journal of Letters

The aim of this paper is to analyze two contemporary literary works of two German Authors: Hans Christoph Buch's Reise um die Welt in acht Nächten(2009) and Anna Katharina Fröhlich's Kream Corner(2010). The novels focus on traveling to India as a place where a problematic self-realization of the protagonists occurs through their Euro-centric foreign perceptions. This experience reflects the challenge in ethnological research of understanding foreign elements, which merely leads to understanding of the researcher's own culture. This means that foreign elements act only as a methodological mirror. The two novels go beyond this problem and show that even effective …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Zika virus (ZIKV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are emerging and re-emerging arboviral diseases. These viruses are transmitted to humans through the bites of Aedes mosquitoes. Recently, ZIKV infection has been described as an emerging disease in Thailand and many countries, especially in tropical and subtropical areas. Specific drugs and vaccines against these infections are unavailable; therefore, effective disease control relies on vector control measures only. To understand the transmission cycle of these viruses and mosquito vectors, this study is designed to investigate the natural infection of ZIKV, CHIKV and DENV in field-caught mosquitoes by molecular techniques.

The potential value of bolus tracking contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of oral tumors in dogs was investigated by examining the relationship between contrast-enhanced CT image density and microvascularization. Among 20 dogs with oral tumors, aged 8 – 17 years, weight 3.6 – 40.0 kg, 13 dogs were suffering with melanoma (MM), 4 with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and 3 with fibrosarcoma. Based on contrast-enhanced CT scan, the time lag from the injection of contrast medium into the right cephalic vein until the contrast medium returned to the mid-cervical external jugular vein at the level of the …
