Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Purpose The December 2004 tsunami was one of the largest natural disasters in the recent history of Southeast Asia. This paper aims to unfold the experiences of tsunami victims in a highly affected region of Thailand and to examine their post‐tsunami health. Design/methodology/approach Ethnographic fieldwork was carried out in Khao Lak and Thi Muang, two major tsunami affected towns in southern Thailand in May 2007. Detailed informal interviews and participant observation were employed to obtain narratives of tsunami victims. Findings The research reveals that the health of the tsunami survivors has deteriorated, and that they are still experiencing psychological suffering two and a half years after the tsunami. Research limitations/implications The long‐term health condition and care should be prioritized in post‐disaster management. Originality/value This paper argues that inner healing, which is not usually considered a priority in the development discourse, is essential to relieve the mental pain of tsunami survivors and to aid their post‐disaster recovery. It highlights that culturally pertinent inner healing is invaluable.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
