Pediatric fatality from gun bluing solution: the need for a chemical equivalent of the one-pill-can-kill list

Abstract: Gun bluing solution is commonly used to polish guns and prevent rusting.

He died within four hours after ingestion. His plasma selenium level was 857 ng/ml. A brief review of other reported ingestion of gun bluing liquid in both adults and children is also included.

Reflecting the teacher’s role in a project-based learning (pbl) classroom: lessons learned from students

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate students’ expectations for teachers using project-based learning (PBL) in an individual classroom, from a tactical perspective, based upon students’ perceptions toward 1) topic choice, 2) teacher’s support, 3) evaluation method, and 4) preference for PBL. The Kano model, commonly used to compare the service expectations and performance perceptions of customers in a marketing context, was adopted as the survey instrument to evaluate 152 students’ perceptions. The results of the study were as follows. 1) From a tactical level, when conducting PBL, teachers should decide the project topic and evaluation method, and must provide sufficient and detailed assistance to students regarding the project. 2) From a more conceptual level, teachers’ domination in areas that are beyond the students’ capabilities to make decisions, greatly contributes to students’ learning.

Secondary Party Liability

Abstract: The Penal Code groups crimes into two classes: aat-yaa-gam (i.e., offenses) and kwaam pit la-hu toht (i.e., petty offenses). This classification mainly relies on the object of sentencing and corrections policies since Section 102 of the Penal Code states that “The petty offence is the offence which shall be punished by imprisonment not out of one month or fine not out of one thousand Baht, or both imprisonment and fine as aforesaid together.” Under Section 104 and following of the Penal Code, petty offenses are punishable even if they are not committed intentionally, while “attempts to commit a petty offence are not punishable neither are supporters to a petty offence” (U.S. Senate 1972). In the gravest, and also in the least grave, of aat-yaa-gam offenses, no legal distinction, either of substance or even of form, is drawn between the various recognized modes of taking part in the commission of them. This can be explained by the fact that the guilt of even the slightest share in any aat-yaa-gam crime is regarded as being so heinous that it is needless to distinguish it from still deeper shades of guilt. And, on the other hand, no activity in a mere petty offense is considered heinous enough to make it worthwhile to draw a formal distinction between it and any less prominent mode of taking part in the offense. Thus, if a crime belongs to either of these two opposite extremes, all persons who are concerned in it in any way, whether by actually committing it, or only by keeping near in order to assist while it is being committed, or merely by suggesting its commission, are indiscriminately classed together by the law as being alike “principals” in the offense.
