This article describes the most common cognitive frameworks about the process of listening, such as top-down and bottom-up, the three-phase listening model and five stages of listening process.

DETERMINATION OF CRIMINAL OFFENSES AGAINST MONKS UNDER THE PENAL CODE

Tanawat Wonganan, Ratikan Panngen, Chananchida Thongchub, Wannisa Tandee — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Buddhism has been with Thai society for a long time, with monks propagating the teachings of the Buddha, who is the teacher of Buddhism. Monks are therefore like representatives of Buddhism. Buddhist monks must be good role models and dedicate themselves as propagators of Buddhism for Buddhists to follow. However, it appears that criminal offenses are now often committed by monks, as often seen in the news. Although the actions of these monks are considered violations of monastic discipline, the punishment is only disqualification from the priesthood and the same criminal penalties as ordinary people. There is no criminal law that directly applies to monks who commit criminal offenses. There are only criminal offenses that any person can commit. In the current Criminal Code, religious offenses are merely provisions intended to punish those who harm their religion. There is no punishment provision specifically for monks, even though a monk's offense is serious because the monk is considered a person of high status and trust in society. It may be compared to a specialized professional or an officer. Monks must be more careful with their behavior than the general public. When a monk becomes an offender, it causes problems for society. Dharmavinaya are only moral criteria without any compulsory conditions, unlike criminal enforcement under civil law that can control monks from committing crimes. Therefore, there should be a way to punish these monks more severely than ordinary people. In this research, the authors studied concurrent monastic and criminal measures. The results showed that it is necessary to impose additional penalties on monks who commit offenses under the Criminal Code, particularly property offenses and sexual offenses such as rape, which are now often committed by monks.

This research article aimed to study and analyze artistic work, specifically focusing on the metal embossing technique and its performance in presenting contemporary art. The objectives were outlined as follows: 1) raising questions and providing interpretations of contemporary artworks with a focus on metal materials, including shapes of stainless steel, copper, and brass through methods of studying and analyzing the creation process; 2) analyzing the process of drawing and creating traces on metal materials to convey ideas and imagination; and 3) analyzing the process of creating positive and negative space in artworks to explore the potential of metal embossing in contemporary art. The study's results indicated that the technique traditionally employed in Thai art could also be applied to creating contemporary pieces. Specifically, the research highlighted: 1) the utilization of line art drawing techniques, employing debossing and embossing methods to enhance the charm and expressiveness of the lines, thereby effectively conveying natural beauty; 2) the use of 0.3-millimeter aluminum sheets in the creation process, where debossing traces or lines created a sense of curvature in the surrounding space, resulting in distinct negative space with variations in negative space development across different pieces ranging from 1 to 5, thus becoming a distinctive feature of the artwork; and 3) the demonstration that working with metal materials, often perceived as requiring substantial energy, could be effectively executed by a female artist through dedication and effort. This enhanced the audience's appreciation of the meticulous beauty of the artwork, elevating their perception to a higher level.
