This study aims to develop a board game on mushrooms production with cooperative learning and to examine its effects on the learning achievement of third-year vocational certificate students in the mushroom production course. The research instruments included a board game designed using the Educational Boardgame Design Canvas framework, comprising 60 cards (7 main cards, 24 secondary cards, and 29 additional cards). The board game was implemented alongside the Learning Together (LT) cooperative learning approach, following the ASSURE Model for instructional media design. Pre- and post-tests, along with a satisfaction questionnaire, were used to assess student performance and engagement. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement at the .05 level in students' learning achievement before and after using the board game. At Ratchaburi College of Agriculture and Technology, the post-test mean score was 16.00, compared to a pre-test mean score of 12.50. Student satisfaction with the learning approach was at the highest level, with an average satisfaction score of 4.69. To further refine and expand the study, the board game was also implemented at the Uthai Thani College of Agriculture and Technology, where similar improvements were observed. The post-test mean score increased to 11.21, compared to a pre-test mean score of 7.48, confirming the research hypothesis. Student satisfaction at Uthai Thani College of Agriculture and Technology was also high, with an average satisfaction score of 4.39. These results suggest that integrating board games with cooperative learning effectively enhances student achievement and engagement in agricultural education.

The species Enterococcus lactis is closely related to E. faecium and is known for its beneficial and probiotic effects. In this study, strain RRS4 was isolated from Raphanus sativus Linn. and identified based on both phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Strain RRS4 exhibited cell viability in environments with 2-8% NaCl, pH ranging from 4 to 9, and temperatures between 4°C and 45°C. Through comprehensive genomic analysis, strain RRS4 was confirmed to be E. lactis. E. lactis RRS4 demonstrated inhibitory effects against Vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis JCM 5803. Safety assessments via in silico methods, including KEGG annotation, indicated the absence of virulent and undesirable genes in E. lactis RRS4. VirulenceFinder analysis aligned virulence-related genes with those from three strains of E. lactis and four strains of E. faecium. While antibiotic resistance genes were found to be conserved, they did not correlate with key pathogenicity traits. Furthermore, safety evaluations highlighted that E. lactis RRS4 is generally safe, despite the presence of genes associated with antibiotic resistance. Lastly, we propose guidelines for assessing the safety of microbial strains using whole-genome analysis. These findings represent advancements in probiotic research.

In this paper, Vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin-film devices with two different use cases have been redesigned to introduce an asymmetrical resonant cavity structure. The structure is designed with the goal of enhancing the optical performance of the central VO2 layer and has an anti-reflection property in the cold state. The advantages and limitations of such a design are discussed.
