Management Guidelines For Urban Public Parks: A Case Study Of Lumpini Park, Bangkok, Thailand, Napat Suwannapuk

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand. It is one of the most primate cities in the world. Bangkok also the center of the country in all areas, being a major source of work and attracts people from across the country, which resulted as population overgrowth, mental illness, pollution, rapid urbanization, and the like. Even though the government succeeds to increase public parks area to be recreation and a lung for the urban dweller's life, but the inconsistency between rules and practices in park management is one of the key factors that hinder Bangkok's sustainable development. In order to explore …

Study Of Gas-Liquid Mass Transfer In Bubble And Spray Column Adding Solid Media, Kritchart Wongwailikhit Jan 2018

Study Of Gas-Liquid Mass Transfer In Bubble And Spray Column Adding Solid Media, Kritchart Wongwailikhit

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Gas absorption is a separation process that transfers substances from gas phase to liquid phases due to the different concentrations. The operation can be applied in many treatments or purifying processes e.g. CO2 absorption from biogas or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) recovery from petroleum emission air. The conventional unit operation using for the gas absorption process are bubble column and spray column. Although there are several literatures reporting the efficiency of spray columns and bubble columns, those were done separately. Therefore, this research projected to investigate both hydrodynamics and mass transfer in both spray and bubble columns and comparing their …

Volume Components And Return Predictability In Abnormal Trading Events, Jetarin Charoenpornpoj Jan 2018

Volume Components And Return Predictability In Abnormal Trading Events, Jetarin Charoenpornpoj

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This paper examines return predictability of three types of trading volumes include total volumes, buy volumes and sell volumes in Thailand's stock market between 2012 to 2018. To measure predictability ability, we sort securities into group base on the level of trading volumes and type of volumes. We test and confirm that buy volumes and sell volumes can predict return one day after the abnormal trading event. Abnormal high buy volumes can predict positive next day return of that security while abnormal high sell volumes can predict negative next day return. In addition, we test and found that positive return …


Why Stock Distribution Announcement Causes Abnormal Return, Napas Chailapakul Jan 2018

Why Stock Distribution Announcement Causes Abnormal Return, Napas Chailapakul

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This research investigated empirically why stock distribution announcement causes abnormal return. For stock split companies, the evidences support that liquidity improvement could be the first possible reason of occurrence of abnormal return during announcement date. The main groups of investors who increase their trading activity are retail and foreign investors. This study also presents another reason that is the occurrence of abnormal return during effective date. It is possible that this abnormal return comes from the increasing of buying demand flow during effective date. However, this study does not discover the evidence which support those two reasons in stock dividend …


Essay On The Stickiness Of Selling, General, And Administrative Cost, Phattraphol Anekpong Jan 2018

Essay On The Stickiness Of Selling, General, And Administrative Cost, Phattraphol Anekpong

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This paper provided evidences that costs management is affected by many factors and investors can use this knowledge to analyze the firm's cost management practices. Selling, General, and Administrative Costs (SG&A) appears to be sticky and showed that costs management is asymmetric. The cost stickiness occurs when the SG&A costs decrease by smaller percentage with revenue decrease compare to SG&A costs increase with revenue increase. This paper explored various factors that might have influence on the stickiness of SG&A costs using linear regression. Factors such as managerial ownership and ownership concentration are found to decrease cost stickiness in different periods. …
