Abstract:

Introduction: The risk of tuberculosis is greatly increased in those with HIV infection. but the relative risk will vary over time, depending on the proportion of HIV -infected individuals with different levels of immunosuppression. This study in Chiang Rai. Thaibnd. assesses how this relative risk changes, investigates any interaction with age. and estimates the TB burden attributable to HIV infection nov' and in the future. Methods: We conducted a case-control study using retrospective data from Chiang Rai hospital. Cases \vere all newly diagnosed 1'B patients during 1990-1998. Controls were antenatal clinic attenders (ANC), delivery patients, surgical patients, blood donors and military conscripts. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated separately by year, age group and gender. using each control group separately. The population attrihutable fraction (P AF) was calculated by year. A mathematical model was developed to recalculate the P AF taking account of the time lag between HIV infection and TB, and to predict P AF in the future. Results: During the study period, the number of new TB cases in Chiang Rai hospital increased more than 3-fold. HIV prevalence peaked at 17.4% in 1992 in male military recruits before declining dramatically. The peak was later and lower in women. The OR for the association of TB and HIV infection increased markedly over time but there was no consistent pattern by age. Age-adjusted P AFs, rose to around 70% by 1998. Modelling suggested,that a true difference in ORs by age is masked by the lower proportion of individuals with more advanced HIV infection in younger age groups. The model gave slightly lower estimates for the PAF than those calculated directly, and predicted that the PAF would decline earlier in younger individuals. For older adults PAFs will remain very high throughout this decade. Conclusion: The HIV epidemic has a profound and prolonged impact on TB burden despite the marked reduction in HIV incidence already seen in Chiang Rai. Besides HIV prevention, we need additional TB control measures to reduce the burden among HIV positives.

Abstract:

The work presented in this thesis focuses on trichinellosis, a food-borne zoonosis caused by a nematode of the genus Trichinella, in Thailand. The main objectives were to characterise human trichinellosis, determine its endemic foci and characterise factors influencing infection in humans and in the pig, which is an important domestic animal reservoir host of Trichinella. The investigations comprised (i) a retrospective review to characterise human trichinellosis in Thailand, (ii) a survey to characterise factors influencing trichinellosis in pigs and (iii) quantitative and qualitative studies to characterise the factors influencing trichinellosis in humans. An analysis of Thai national trichinellosis surveillance data between 1981 and 2008 highlighted the five northernmost provinces in the Northern Region as particularly affected with trichinellosis. The incidence of human trichinellosis in Thailand decreased significantly during this period. Until recently, trichinellosis was found to cluster significantly in these provinces. Domestic pigs and wild boar appeared to be the major sources of infection. Field studies focused on populations in Nan Province in the Northern Region, where specific foci of human trichinellosis have been observed. A survey of pig production in both lowland and highland areas in five districts of Nan Province found small-scale pig production to be predominant. Production and management practices differed significantly between lowland and highland areas. In the highland areas, pig production was mainly for the owners’ own use. The holdings were poorly managed compared with those in lowland areas. A survey of trichinellosis seroprevalence in these five districts showed the disease to be associated with scavenging pigs (OR = 2.96, p = 0.02) and older pigs (OR = 1.02, p = 0.02). Seroprevalence was estimated with 95% confidence and was in the range 0 - 0.36% in lowland areas and 0.46 - 1.48% in highland areas. A pig acquired from a Thai-Laotian border market was among the sero-positive pigs identified in the survey. A survey for trichinellosis in wild animals (n = 97), mostly wild boar (n = 53; 55%), using the digestion method did not detect Trichinella in any of the animals screened. A retrospective gender-matched and age-matched case-control study in four trichinellosis-affected communities during 2003 – 2006 showed that consumption of raw wild boar (OR = 2.66, p = 0.005) and consumption of raw meat at social gatherings (OR = 3.89, p = 0.008) were risk factors, and the belief that alcohol can kill the parasite in raw meat (OR = 0.36, p = 0.03) was a protective factor associated with individual trichinellosis cases. Qualitative studies on communities’ knowledge, attitudes and practices relating to trichinellosis in 12 villages indicated that the communities received information about food-borne diseases. However, the practice of raw food consumption continued because of individual taste preferences and the belief that consuming raw food infrequently and in small amounts lessened the risk of eating infected meat. In terms of pig management, although there had been improvements in the practices within Nan Province, with the majority of pigs kept in pens, due to insufficient pig feed and poor survival rates of piglets in inappropriately designed pens, free-range scavenging still occurred. For control of trichinellosis to be improved, the factors identified as influencing its maintenance in the study areas must be communicated to the local administrative organizations and veterinary and public health offices. This will enable them to construct and implement guidelines for good management practices in pig farms in the highland areas. Additionally, there is a need to specify a requirement for Trichinella-free certification of pigs and meat products sold at the border markets. There is also a requirement for the continued education of the general public regarding the safe consumption of adequately-cooked meat.

Abstract:

Based on oral histories of agriculture and health in the Mae Chaem valley, northern Thailand, this work documents changing child health and medical practice since the 1950's and explores possible connections with increasing pesticide use. The research shows how local knowledge can help us understand relationships between changing technology, ecology, and human health. Parents and farmers in the Mae Chaem valley of Chiang Mai province, Northern Thailand, live at the intersection of multiple local and global streams of land use and child health biotechnology. Based on systematically collected autobiographical oral histories from parents and farmers, as well as interviews and participant observation with land use and child health experts the study considers the relationships between child health and land use change, and particularly the rise of pesticide intensive cash cropping, since the late 1950’s. Introductory chapters on theory and methods precede a description of the ethnographic context. Case studies illustrating parent and farmer histories of child health and land use change spanning fifty years are provided. Seven streams of biotechnical expertise are identified, and mini-ethnographies are provided for each including domestic, Buddhist, Muang, spirit, market, national, and Christian. These seven streams are analyzed using actor-network theory (ANT) with relationships to particular notions of ontology, cosmology, and ecology. Results demonstrate the ongoing importance of parents and farmers as decision making agents at the intersection of multiple and competing cultural and biotechnical streams, even where they face efforts by large multinational corporations or other agencies to advertise, constrain and monopolize local biotechnical choice. Within the fifty year time period under consideration, the oral histories describe particular child health and land use trends. These locally perceived trends provide challenging perspectives on the relationship between ‘development’ and child health in Thailand. While children die far less often now than in the past, oral histories suggest that both children and fields now suffer from more kinds of illness, and more often, than before. In particular, both qualitative and more quantitative analysis suggests differences in the experience of child health among pesticide and non-pesticide using households.

Abstract:

Home, the most significant thing in man's life, still experiences various changes within the society of which it is a part. Realising this, the thesis sets out to understand home and the changes it undergoes when it is commercialised as 'homestay', a tourist lodging in a private home. It achieves this by investigating three homestay villages in Northern Thailand, in tenus of activities, space use and objects; social interaction; and meanings of home. Taking a qualitative approach, it integrates methods from the anthropological and architectural disciplines to explore these categories and synthesise their interrelationships, thereby deriving the conclusions and implications. The contribution of lmowledge includes: 1) exploration of the interrelationships between space, social interaction, and meanings in the home environment; . .2) the theoretical discussion of homestay relating to the context of home, home commercialisation, tourism and hospitality, and vernacular traditions and; 3) an integrative research model for studying physical, social and cultural relationships, which deepens and widens ways of seeing and understanding relationships between people, place and ideas. The strength of this thesis is the interdisciplinary study bridging three disciplines: architecture, anthropology and tourism. The thesis shows the centrality of spatio-social analysis of domestic space, as defined by local actors themselves, to understanding the process and impacts of homestay development, thus providing strong empirical basis of . socio-cultural processes. The work documents by text and graphics the cycle of rural life along with that of tourism, the researcher's experiences as a guest inside homestay villages and houses, and the changes in the case study villages being vulnerable to the impacts of rural tourism. It demonstrates the explanatory potential of anthropology and architecture combined while paying ~ttention to the dimension of tourism and vernacular traditions. The empirical findings have shown that homestay is a national tourism policy brought to rural villages which aims to develop social and economic aspects of rural villages and regions. From all three case studies, though there are social and cultural distinctions, strong relationships were found between the spatial characteristics of rural houses and the social interactions produced in them. The characteristics of the space and the hospitality of the people ease the establishment and implementation of homestay and, it is the meaning of home, perceived by the inhabitants, that allows the use of a rural home for economic purposes. Identification of these findings leads to an understanding of why the home is commercialised as homestay for the economic well-being of the family, what happens inside heime and how homestay inhabitants cope with their lives along with commercialisation. The thesisconcltides by emphasiSing the need to assess, reconsider, clarify and redefine the terms, concepts, practices and controls of homestay in Northern Thailand. Further research. is needed to fill gaps in 'lmowledge and answer questions about homestay practices i~ Northern Thailand and international conteh'ts. TheÃ‚Â· thesis emphasises the need for interdisciplinary study of the dialectic relationship between people, place and' ideas in the diversified context of change, not only in the fields being studied herein but in other fields that seekmulti-dimensional understandings ofthe environment.

Abstract:

Flow time-series data are crucial for water resources and floods management. In catchments where flow observations are not available or data are of poor quality, a method for modelling flow time-series is needed. The overall objective of this study is to assess the applicability of recent regionalisation methods to predict flows in tropical monsoon-dominated catchments where hydrological response is particularly variable over the seasons. This PhD thesis addresses six primary challenges in the context of such catchments: 1) data quality, 2) rainfall estimation in mountainous catchments, 3) using regression for regionalising rainfall-flow response indices, 4) catchment non-stationarity, 5) conditioning rainfall-runoff models and 6) uncertainty analysis. The main novel contributions are: developing a data quality scoring system and exploring its effects on modelling; comparing a customised technique for rain gauge interpolation and using satellite products for spatial rainfall estimation; demonstrating practical difficulties in predicting land use change impacts; assessing the performance of recent conditioning methods and estimating prediction uncertainty in monsoonal areas. The main practical outcomes are: 1) the most in-depth study yet published of methods for predicting flows in northern Thailand for water resources planning; 2) recommendations towards improving data support for water resources estimation in Thailand. Using data from 44 gauged sub-catchments of the upper Ping catchment in northern Thailand from the period 1995-2006, three relevant flow response indices (runoff coefficient, base flow index and seasonal flow elasticity) were regionalised by regression against 14 available catchment properties. The runoff coefficient was the most successfully regionalised, followed by base flow index and lastly the seasonal elasticity of flow. The non-stationarity (represented by the differences between two six-year sub-periods) was significant both in the flow response indices and in land use indices; however relationships between the two sets of indices were weak. The regression equations were not helpful in predicting the non-stationarity in the flow indices except somewhat for the runoff coefficient. Rainfall estimation errors from two different estimation methods were large and believed to significantly contribute to uncertainty in regionalised flow response indices and modelled flow time-series. The three regionalised flow response indices were used individually and in combination to condition the IHACRES rainfall-runoff model using a Bayesian approach. The runoff coefficient was the most informative index. This is followed by the base flow index and lastly the seasonal flow elasticity. Using the variance of the regression coefficients and of the regression residuals had limited success in estimating the flow uncertainty intervals because uncertainty from the IHACRES model structure is not sufficiently represented by the variance of the regression. The regionalised model was considered to be too imprecise at the daily time scale but offers good support to water resources planning at the monthly and seasonal time scales. A partly subjective data quality scoring system showed the clear influence of rainfall and flow data quality on regionalisation uncertainty. Recommendations include developing more relevant soils databases, improved records of abstractions and investment in the gauge network.

Abstract:

This is a dissertation about care. Based on over ten years of experience with Southeast Asia and sixteen months of ethnographic research for this project, I address the issue of caregiving primarily from the perspective of those providing care at home for elderly people in urban Northern Thailand and from the vantage point of national and international public health initiatives aimed at supporting such endeavors. In turn, I use the intimate experiences of caregivers to interrogate the politics of aging, long-term care, and national identity. What emerges is an understanding of caregiving different from that of liberal humanitarianism and biomedicine alike. With a focus on social relationships and embodied care practices, I show how forms of attention, obligation, giving, and receiving in urban Thai settings do not always equate with their counterparts in standard global health accounts. Instead, local values are put into action with significant ramifications for the performance and promotion of care. I examine local and global techniques of power and care embedded in the growing number of volunteer organizations directed at the elderly. With attention to class, religion, and history, I trace the interpersonal, social, and political influences reflected in caregiver subjectivity and propose a distinctly Thai logic of psychosocial support that underlies the experience of the caregivers and aid workers with whom I worked. Examining family dynamics and the stories people tell about the future, I trace a new imaginary for long-term care at play, apparent at both the individual and the institutional level. And I develop the concept of the "social body," arguing that attention to and care of the collective is crucial for making sense not only of the disorienting varieties of volunteerism marking the shifting ground of long-term and end-of-life care in Thailand, but also of the larger scale political upheavals afoot in that country today.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to create a greater understanding on how the Thai schools and their principals provide opportunities for the teachers to interact with students who have disabilities and how the schools also provide opportunities for the students’ education and prepare them to become participants in society. The theoretical frameworks we used were three models; participation, sense of coherence (SOC) and learning by doing. In our study we have used both interviews and observation to get a more trustworthy result. The results of our study entail that the Thai school tried to prepare the students with disabilities for society but do not make them participants in decisions made about their future. In the classroom the dialogue between the teacher and students was missing to stimulate the students to be participants in their education.

Full text

Abstract:

The development policy and plans of the Thai government have emphasized economic growth aimed at 'modernising' the country, enacted through agricultural modernisation and industrialisation under the name 'rural development'. Women In Development (WID) approaches based on the modernisation model have been added to 'development' plans more recently. Examination of the effects of these WID programmes upon rural women demonstrates that poor women are disempowered by the 'top-down' rural development programmes. This study is an attempt to test collaborative action research (CAR) as a methodology to empower rural women to become the decision makers in the rural development process. CAR was carried out in Sandee Village, northern Thailand. This suggests that rural women can be empowered through continuous cycles of the collaborative learning process of planning, acting, observing and critical reflection with the researcher acting as a facilitator. Through this learning process, rural women have increased their capacity to make choices, to deal with existing constraints and to create changes. In this respect 'development' can be initiated from within.

Abstract:

In the past few years, Thailand has faced many negative situations such as natural disasters and political disturbances, which have had serious impacts on all parts of the nation including its economic progress. In Northern Thailand, the role of the hospitality and tourism sector is claimed to be particularly significant as an industry which has protected the Northern region from severe economic disaster. Recently, however, the number of boutique hotels in Northern Thailand has shown very rapid growth but the motivations behind creating and operating these businesses has never been fully investigated. Understanding the entrepreneurial motivation behind these businesses can be of benefit not only to the region, but also to the nation and to the study of entrepreneurship as a whole. Previous research has contributed to our knowledge of entrepreneurial motivation but it has shown many differences and identified many varied types of entrepreneurial motivation and there has been no clear agreement on which entrepreneurial motivation applies in any specific context. The majority of the research has been quantitative, which has provided only a partial explanation of the issue. Entrepreneurs in different contexts and different industrial settings would appear to be motivated by different things e.g. entrepreneurs in the hospitality and tourism industry have been seen to be motivated by lifestyle concerns. Importantly in previous research these lifestyle entrepreneurs have been believed to reject business growth. Research in the hospitality and tourism field has also been dominated by a Western context and the majority of the research has employed surveys of various types. Therefore, the research reported in this thesis has been established with three clear objectives. The first is to identify and gain an insight into the motivation of entrepreneurs operating boutique hotels in Northern Thailand. Although entrepreneurs in the hospitality and tourism field have previously been seen to reject business growth, this research has moved away from this presumption. Hence, the second objective is to investigate how entrepreneurs in this specific context view business growth and to identify and gain an insight into the nature of business growth in boutique hotels in Northern Thailand. While the majority of the previous research has generated explanations based only on the views of customers and managers, the third objective is to compile and synthesise detailed information about boutique hotel from the views of the entrepreneurs themselves. To provide a detailed insight into entrepreneurial motivation, business growth and boutique hotels, this research was conducted using a qualitative method. The researcher carried out in-depth interviews in a total of thirty two hotels, talking to twenty-nine owners/entrepreneurs and five managers. The interviews were transcribed in full by the researcher and thematic analysis was employed for the data analysis. The findings can be separated into three parts. First, the research on entrepreneurial motivations revealed four significant themes. These were the influence of the family, the encouragement of friends, the attractiveness of the destination and the type of business. Importantly, the findings indicated that the entrepreneurs were driven largely by non-profit motivations. Second, the research on business growth revealed that, rather than avoiding business growth, the majority of these entrepreneurs had already grown their businesses or had plans to grow their business in the near future. The entrepreneurs focused on growth strategies which were concerned with increasing the number of rooms, establishing new hotels or other new businesses, adding facilities and activities to their existing operations, changing the style of the hotel and more generally improving the service they provided. The reasons behind the growth can be divided into five areas of which four were non-profit based. Business growth was generated largely to satisfy the entrepreneurs’ personal desires. These entrepreneurs enjoyed the hotel context. They were still influenced by their family but business growth was seen to bring them personal satisfaction and happiness, rather than economic reward. Third, the research highlighted the owners’ perspective of the definition and characteristics of a boutique hotel. For them boutique hotels have individualized design characteristics because each owner has inserted his/her own ideas into the design and decoration of their hotel. Boutique hotels are likely to have historical connections and are closely linked to the traditions and culture of Thailand. Indeed they are seen to play an important role in maintaining the traditional culture of the region. Boutique hotels benefit from a relatively small number of rooms, although the number of rooms should not be seen as a key determinant used to define them. Finally the service in boutique hotel is largely delivered by employees but there is a strong concern expressed by the owners and their managers about maintaining positive relationships with their employees. The findings of this research have revealed the key importance of social conditions in the understanding of entrepreneurship. They have shown that it cannot be explained simply through the rational and principally economically motivated behaviour of entrepreneurs. It is crucial that the context in which the entrepreneurship exists is considered to be of significant importance in investigating the issues. Consideration of the context and significantly the social context provides a clearer explanation of entrepreneurial motivation. Furthermore, the research has discovered that, in this context, hospitality and tourism entrepreneurs who are predominantly motivated by lifestyle issues, do not per se reject business growth. Given the scarcity of studies on entrepreneurs in the hospitality and tourism context, this research provides evidence from a broader perspective. Perhaps the key message is that knowledge in this field can be best advanced if researchers attempt to gain an insight into the broader social context within which the entrepreneur is situated (Thomas et al., 2011).

Abstract:

Dans la zone nord des bassins versants de la Thaïlande, l'augmentation de la dégradation des ressources du bassin hydrographique résultant de la combinaison de l’augmentation de la population et de la croissance économique ont conduit à la création de contrôles divers par différents agents. Le gouvernement thaïlandais a fait des efforts considérables pour responsabiliser et impliquer les populations locales dans la gouvernance des ressources, pour éradiquer le problème et atténuer les conflits d'intérêts. Toutefois, la participation de la population ne progresse pas au-delà des niveaux d'information et de consultation. Afin de promouvoir la bonne gouvernance des ressources, la question de recherche proposée ici est de savoir comment utiliser la modélisation d'accompagnement (ComMod) qui est un processus de médiation outillé pour promouvoir la compréhension mutuelle et l'apprentissage adaptatif chez les intervenants afin d’améliorer la gestion collective des bassins versants. Les principales méthodes de recherche mises en œuvre dans cette étude sont le jeu de rôle (RPG), l'observation participante et la modélisation multi-agents. L'analyse préliminaire du cas du bassin versant Maehae a révélé un risque de conflit entre les agriculteurs et les forestiers. Deux sessions de jeu de rôle (RPG) ont été menées afin de mieux comprendre comment ces acteurs utilisent et gèrent des terres et des forêts malgré des conflits d'intérêts. […]En résumé, le réseau villageois, comme le réseau local, crée des liens divers entre deux ethnies et communautés. Il lie des individus, des groupes et des réseaux plus politiques et se pose en tant qu'intermédiaire informel politique pour co-gérer les ressources du bassin hydrographique et atténuer les tensions éventuelles entre les parties prenantes. La fonction du réseau villageois représente un processus d'évolution culturelle par le biais de l'apprentissage social et permet d’accroitre les préoccupations environnementales, et par conséquent, accroît la capacité d'adaptation la résilience. Cette étude […] souligne l'importance de la participation des principales parties prenantes, la confiance entre le chercheur et les acteurs, la position neutre du chercheur. La prochaine étape dans la modélisation d'accompagnement serait nécessaire, pour partager le plan de gestion collective locale avec les réseaux politiques plus interconnectés, grâce à la simulation du modèle, et passer à d'autres co-planifications et co-décisions en matière de gouvernance durable des ressources des bassins versants
In the northern watershed area of Thailand, the increase in watershed resources degradation due to the combination of population and economic growths led to diverse controls and responsible agents. Thai government has put substantial effort to empower and involve local people in resource governance, to eradicate the problem and mitigate the conflict of interest. However, the people participation does not progress beyond informative and consultative levels. The Maehae is one of the complex watershed management cases where intensive vegetable cultivated lands located in restricted watershed area, multi-level stakeholders involved in watershed resources management existed. To promote good resource governance, the research questions proposed here is how to employ companion modeling (ComMod) process and mediating tools to promote mutual and adaptive learning among stakeholders to enhance collective watershed management. The main field research methods implemented in this study are roleplaying game (RPG), stakeholders observation and multi-agent based model (MABM). Preliminary system analysis of the Maehae revealed a potential conflict among the farmers and the forester. Two land-forest role-playing game (RPG) sessions were conducted in order to gain a better understanding on how these stakeholders use and manage land and forest under conflict of interests. […]This scenarios exploration showed that the San was only determinant factor in the “business as usual” scenarios. The San […] could reduce forest disturbance and promoted total farm productivity. […] In summary, The Maehae village network, as the local network, bridges diverse ties both ethnicities and communities. It links individual, groups and higher policy network; performs as intermediary informal political network to co-manage the watershed resources and mitigate possible tensions among stakeholders. The village network function represents a cultural evolution process through social learning and gaining of environmental concerns, therefore, enhances adaptive capacity and increase resilience. This study […] recommends the important of key stakeholders’ involvement, the trust between researcher and the stakeholders, the neutral position of the researcher. Further stage of companion modelling would be required, to share collective local management plan with larger interconnected policy networks, through the model simulation, and move to further co-planning and codecision making for sustainable watershed resource governance

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to develop a terrain evaluation system for road corridor selection applicable to the intermontane basins in northern Thailand. The first stage involves database construction of the terrain factors which have a direct effect on construction costs. These factors are land cover, topography and landforms, surficial geology, soil strength, topsoil removal, difficulty of excavation, embankment height, construction materials, and drainage characteristics. Remote sensing and terrain evaluation techniques, field investigations and geotechnical laboratory tests are used to prepare maps of these terrain factors. The resulting maps are converted into digital database form as map layers by using Geographical Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS)--a raster-based Geographic Information System (GIS).
These factors are incorporated into cost models. These are constructed using local engineering cost assessments which control the selection and specification of terrain factors. Under the GRASS environment the digital map layers of different terrain attributes are converted, based on the cost models, into cost surfaces (cost per unit area). The cost surfaces are subsequently combined into an integrated terrain-cost model.
With different assigned end points and cost models, the applications of the single theme cost surfaces and the integrated terrain-cost models to least-cost route selection are provided. An existing road network can be incorporated in these applications. The quality and benefits of the database and system developed related to terrain conditions, data capture by remote sensing, GIS manipulation and modelling, and cost modelling are discussed.

Abstract:

The purpose of my research work was to assess a variety of Northern Thailand plants tissue extracts for antibacterial and anti-platelet aggregation activity. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration assay method was used to assess antimicrobial activity of plant extracts, while the Zebrafish Platelet Aggregation Assay and the in vitro Whole Human Blood Impedance Aggregation Assay were used to study anti-platelet activity. Forty one plant extracts harvested from the tissues of 26 plants collected from Northern Thailand were assessed. Thirty-four plant extracts were found to have antibacterial activity against the Gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and/or Bacillus subtilis, while six plant extracts demonstrated activity against the Gram negative bacterium, Escherichia coli. Thirteen plant extracts exhibited anti-platelet aggregation activity better than the positive control. Two crude plant extracts, twigs from Garcinia sp. and twigs from Goniothalamus chilensis were selected for fractionation. Five of the 12 fractions showed anti-platelet activity. Four fractions (two from each plant extract) were selected for further sub-fractionation. Fourteen of 35 sub-fractions were selected for further testing of anti-platelet aggregation activity with 12 sub-fractions demonstrating positive antiplatelet activity. Positive sub-fractions were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to determine their chemical properties. Three compounds that possessed anti-platelet activity were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance. The compounds, all isolated from Garcinia sp., were identified as cambogin, isoxanthochymol and guttiferone F.
