The objective of this study was to investigate water quality, trophic status, and assess the CO₂ capture by biomass producers. Water samples were collected using grab sampling from
three sampling sites and five times in Nong Bua of Chiang Rai Rajabhat University area during August-September 2021, and subsequently examined for physico-chemical water quality, Net primary Productivity (NPP) and CO₂ captured. The trophic status of water sources was evaluated, and the relationship between Sechi transparency, nutrients, and CO₂ capture by biomass producers was analyzed. The examined of the physico-chemical properties of water indicated that the water quality index predominantly aligns with established criteria for type 2 surface water. The mean NPP was 233.46±200.97 mgC·m^-2·day^-1, whereas the biomass producers captured an average of 856.80±737.57 mgC·m^-2·day^-1 of CO₂. Furthermore, the assessment based on Trophic State Index (TSI), which take into account total phosphorus, indicated that all water sources were in a hypereutrophic, whereas an assessment based on TSI measurements of Sechi transparency values classed all water sources as eutrophic. The regression analysis revealed significant relationships (p < 0.001) between CO₂ capture and the total phosphorus, nitrate nitrogen, and Sechi transparency.

This research studies and designed fluid bed roasters for coffee and cocoa controlled by Node-RED and PID. The research process is to design a fluid bed roasting system that uses hot air to drive coffee beans or cocoa into the roasting room. Designed a temperature control system by generating a Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) by microcontroller. The PWM signal is transferred to the heater for controlled temperature. Node-RED operates an automation roasting system. The result shows that the fluid bed roasters for coffee and cocoa using time for roasting coffee lower than drum roaster is 500 s from 900-1,200 s. The use time for roasting cocoa as 540 s is same general roasting cocoa as 300-3,900 s. And, the controller system controls steady temperatures as 120-190 ºC. analyzed for mean absolute percentage error (MAE) of coffee and cocoa as 1.04% and 1.01% respectively.

Species of Fruit Flies and Their Infestation Rate on Indian Jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) in Chai Badan District, Lop Buri Province

Taweesak Khwantrairong — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The 'Samros' cultivar of Indian jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) is a promising option for increasing farmers' income in Thailand. However, these jujube crops have been susceptible to damage from fruit fly infestations. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the diversity of fruit flies and the extent of infestation in jujube fruits within Chai Badan District, Lop Buri Province. Fruit fly samples were collected during the fruiting season from December 2021 to February 2022. This was achieved through two methods: 1) employing traps baited with lure substances, and 2) gathering jujube fruits displaying signs of fruit fly infestation for laboratory analysis. The study identified two species of fruit flies, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) and Bactrocera correcta (Bezzi), using traps with lure baits and jujube fruits showing signs of fruit fly infestation. The average capture rates were 1.66± 0.48 and 2.45±0.77 individuals/trap/week, respectively. Significantly, B. correcta was captured in greater numbers compared to B. dorsalis (p<0.05). Furthermore, upon examining jujube fruits in the laboratory, the infestation rates of B. dorsalis and B. correcta were recorded at 41.50±15.60 and 46.98± 17.80 individuals/kg, respectively. These rates did not exhibit significant differences (p≥0.05) between the two species but the infestation rate in December was significantly higher than in the other months (p < 0.05). The insights gained from this study regarding fruit fly species diversity and infestation rates will assist farmers in accurately identifying these pests. Consequently, this information can serve as a valuable guide for implementing preventive measures to mitigate future crop damage.

Sukunya Kotarsa — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Coronavirus disease 2019 is a rapidly spreading disease. The preventive behaviors including related factors were important to the development of preventive behavior’s promotion. This research aimed to study preventive behaviors and factors that associated with preventive behaviors with Coronavirus disease 2019 among people in Pamiang sub-district, Doisaket district, Chiang Mai province. An Cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in 327 samples. The samples were selected by stratified random sampling. Data was collected by using a questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results revealed that people had a high level (good behavior level) at 96.64%. The relative factors to the preventive behaviors for Coronavirus disease 2019 include perceived barriers (β =.203, p <.001), knowledge (β =.196, p<.001), attitudes (β =.156, p=.008), perceived benefits (β =.134, p=.029), channel (β =.119, p=.012), and marital status (β =.105, p p=.023). They were able to explain predict 33.20% of the variation in preventive behaviors among people (Adjusted R²=.332). Perceived barriers were the most influential factor affecting to Coronavirus disease 2019 preventive behaviors (β =.203, p <.001). The development of behavioral promotion for disease prevention among people should considerably increases aware of the disease awareness, Add channel to receive information in a timely manner, including increase participation in all sectors to encourage sustainable practices of preventing the Coronavirus disease 2019.

The Antifungal Colletotrichum gloeosporioides of chemicals extracted from Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth

Kritsakon Charanrag, saksri sirathana — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Preliminary phytochemical analysis of Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth extracts using hexane, dichloromethane, and ethanol solvents revealed the presence of six phytochemical groups: alkaloids, flavonoids, coumarins, saponins, tannins, and steroids. The antifungal activity of the crude extracts against C. gloeosporioides was evaluated using the Food poison method at concentrations ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 ppm for 7 days. The results showed that the hexane crude extract at 12,000 ppm exhibited the highest antifungal activity with percent inhibition values of 74.38, 64.78, and 52.56 at 3, 5, and 7 days, respectively. However, the antifungal activity was lower compared to the standard fungicide mancozeb, which showed percent inhibition values of 87.50, 77.78, and 75.56 at 3, 5, and 7 days, respectively, under the same concentration and incubation periods. Nevertheless, the promising antifungal activity of the hexane crude extract from Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth warrants further investigation to isolate and identify the pure compounds responsible for the antifungal activity against C. gloeosporioides.

Sarayut Pantian — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0700

This study investigated the effect of player momentum on the outcome of youth football matches. We used an open-source Python library to track the movement of six players in ten 8-10 year-old youth football matches. We then calculated the individual and team average momentum and analyzed the relationship between the total momentum and the match outcome. The results showed that Team 1 had a mean momentum of 3.17 kg-m/s (SD = 1.63) and Team 2 had a mean momentum of 2.35 kg-m/s (SD = 1.57). The F-test indicated a significant difference between the two groups (F > 1), and the P-value was less than 0.05 (P < 0.05), indicating that teams with higher momentum had a 95% chance of winning. In conclusion, teams with higher total momentum have a greater chance of winning youth football matches.
