The Developing Online chemical service workflow tracking system

2024-07-26T10:08:35+07:00

This research aims to 1) study the problem of traditional services in requesting the use of chemicals in the laboratory 2) develop a chemical service system that can track work flows online and 3) study the efficiency of reducing steps work, reduce time, and evaluate satisfaction in using online programs. By holding participatory workshops of laboratory workers to obtain information to design and develop programs. Program development tools use MySQL database management system. Font End display uses PHP, HTML 5, CSS3, Javascript. Back End uses MySQL, PHP, Database management uses HeidiSQL. and use the satisfaction assessment form for using the system. Results of the study of problems in traditional service provision That causes delays and the process cannot be traced. The main reason is the procedure has several steps. and using paper forms which makes services inconvenient After changing to a service system with a newly developed program, work steps can be inspected and tracked online. By adding a colored status bar to notify the status via email and LINE, it increases convenience for service users. Reduce working time Reduce paper use Data is recorded automatically. In terms of efficiency in reducing work steps and reducing time, it was found that work steps could be reduced by 3 steps out of 9 steps, reducing the waiting time of work steps as a percentage of waiting time reduction up to 84.38 – 85.13. And the results from the satisfaction assessment from the user group were at a good level. The total average satisfaction score was 4.19 with a standard deviation of 0.84.

Chili Spur Pepper Detection Model Developing for Sorting Machine

2024-03-06T10:26:43+07:00

Faculty of Science at Sriracha, Kasetsart University Siracha Campus, located in an industrial and agricultural area, aims to advance the agricultural industry through the application of computer technology. This research focuses on improving the sorting process for chili spur peppers by utilizing deep learning techniques such as YOLO to develop a model that accurately analyzes and sorts of peppers by color. The model is intended to enhance sorting processes in production lines and packaging within the agricultural industry. Researchers applied the YOLO technique, collecting 294 images of chili spur peppers and evaluating the model's performance using metrics such as Precision, Recall, and Mean Average Precision (mAP). The results demonstrated a high accuracy, with an average Precision of 99.6%. The study also evaluated the model's practical application, considering factors like accuracy, speed, and economic efficiency, showing that it could be effectively implemented in chili sorting machines. However, further refinement is needed to improve accuracy in certain environmental conditions. Additionally, the research provides insights for the further development and application of image detection technology for sorting other agricultural products, aiming to increase efficiency and reduce waste in agricultural production processes.

Current Research On Pharmacological and Toxicological of Croton tiglium Linn.

2024-08-15T10:27:16+07:00

Croton tiglium L., commonly known as Purging Croton and classified under the Euphorbiaceae family, has been traditionally used in Thai medicine as a potent purgative to treat colic, asthma, cough, phlegm, lymphatic disorders, cathartic, blood disorders, and parasitic infections. The seeds of Croton tiglium are incorporated in various formulations for treating symptoms resembling cancer. The chemical composition of the seeds includes oil (30.00-56.00%), carbohydrates (16.15%), proteins (16.00%), fibers (8.25%), and ash (3.60%). Key chemical constituents of the seeds are phorbol esters such as Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, along with alkaloids, fatty acids, and amino acids. Phorbol esters exhibit a range of pharmacological activities, including antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, laxative, vaccine adjuvant and anti-inflammatory properties. Notably, they demonstrate significant anticancer properties, effectively inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, including liver cancer, leukemia, lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and gastric cancer. The inhibitory concentrations (IC₅₀) of these compounds are typically within the micromolar range. Despite its medicinal potential, the presence of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) poses a major drawback due to its toxicity and role as a tumor promoter. Various methods have been developed to reduce the toxicity of Croton tiglium seeds, effectively lowering PMA levels. However, comprehensive data on the reduction of carcinogenic promotion activity is still lacking. If these detoxification methods can be proven to effectively reduce both PMA levels and its carcinogenic promotion activity, Croton tiglium could emerge as a promising herbal alternative for cancer treatment. Recent discoveries highlight the potential of phorbol esters as Protein kinase C (PKC) activators that inhibit specific PKC isoforms linked to cancer inhibition. The development of cancer therapies targeting specific PKC isoforms is currently a significant area of interest.
