Due to widespread internet access, deployment of internet banking systems has expanded exponentially. Banking on the internet has notable advantages, particularly in terms of convenience however, safety remains a major concern. Several different crimes have been committed against internet banking sites during the last few years, electronic robbery being one of the most common. As a result, several studies have recently been undertaken to better understand the safety issues of internet banking. Yet, to the best of our knowledge, none of the studies compare the safety of internet banking systems between Cambodia and Thailand. Hence, this paper proposes to comparatively study the safety issues of internet banking of three separate banks in Thailand and three banks in Cambodia. The study was done by observing the strength and weakness of the internet banking services by deploying every step of a transaction. The observation criteria were specified by integrating the knowledge from the following: analyzing past internet banking crime cases, following the guideline of the safety standard and analyzing previous literature. From our observations, we found some strengths and weaknesses in both of the countries. This study provides some meaningful guidelines that address the system's comparative strengths and weaknesses.

Teenage pregnancy is a global and Thailand’s problem bearing on social and public health. Teenage mothers developed adverse perinatal complications -such as preterm births, neonatal deaths and delivered low birth weight babies. This paper aimed to present the situation of teenage pregnancy in the area of incidence of teenage pregnancy in Thailand and its effect on neonatal outcomes which included birth weight and exclusive breastfeeding by analyzing data of The Reproductive Health Survey 2006 and 2009 obtained from the National statistical office. The results show that the proportion of teenage pregnancy increased from 22.1% (2006) to 23.0% (2009) of all women of reproductive age 15-49 year. This proportion was found to be high in teenage pregnant women living in non-municipal area, non-educated and lowest socioeconomic. Regarding the effects on neonatal outcomes, newborn babies with low birthweight were mostly found in teen mom group compared to the other age. Interestingly, the rate of breast feeding of at least 6 months was the lowest in the group of 15-17 years old mothers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
