The project focuses on designing and creating Art Toy Mascots that reflect the identities of the 12 departments in the Faculty of Agricultural Technology. It combines the concepts of art and agricultural technology to promote better understanding and easy recognition of each department. The project utilizes creative design and artistic toy production techniques.
ในยุคปัจจุบันที่เทคโนโลยีมีบทบาทสำคัญในการพัฒนาภาคการเกษตร คณะเทคโนโลยีการเกษตรจึงมุ่งเน้นการปลูกฝังองค์ความรู้ควบคู่ไปกับการพัฒนาทักษะความคิดสร้างสรรค์ เพื่อให้นักศึกษาสามารถประยุกต์ใช้ความรู้ทางวิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยีในการแก้ปัญหาและพัฒนาภาคการเกษตรได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ โครงการออกแบบและสร้างสรรค์ Art Toy Mascot จึงเกิดขึ้นจากแนวคิดที่ต้องการ ผสมผสานศิลปะและเทคโนโลยีเข้าด้วยกัน โดยใช้ Art Toy ซึ่งเป็นผลงานศิลปะที่กำลังได้รับความนิยมในกลุ่มคนรุ่นใหม่ เป็นสื่อกลางในการนำเสนออัตลักษณ์ของ 12 สาขาวิชาในคณะเทคโนโลยีการเกษตร

Cancer remains a major global health challenge as the second-leading cause of human death worldwide. The traditional treatments for cancer beyond surgical resection include radiation and chemotherapy; however, these therapies can cause serious adverse side effects due to their high killing potency but low tumor selectivity. The FDA approved monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that target TIGIT/PVR (T-cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain/poliovirus receptor) which is an emerging immune checkpoint molecules has been developed; however, the clinical translation of immune checkpoint inhibitors based on antibodies is hampered due to immunogenicity, immunological-related side effects, and high costs, even though these mAbs show promising therapeutic efficacy in clinical trials. To overcome these bottlenecks, small-molecule inhibitors may offer advantages such as better oral bioavailability and tumor penetration compared to mAbs due to their smaller size. Here, we performed structure-based virtual screening of FDA-approved drug repertoires. The 100 screened candidates were further narrowed down to 10 compounds using molecular docking, with binding affinities ranging from -9.152 to -7.643 kcal/mol. These compounds were subsequently evaluated for their pharmacokinetic properties using ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) analysis, which demonstrated favorable drug-like characteristics. The lead compounds will be further analyzed for conformational changes and binding stability against TIGIT through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to ensure that no significant conformational changes occur in the protein structure. Collectively, this study represents the potential of computational methods and drug repurposing as effective strategies for drug discovery, facilitating the accelerated development of novel cancer treatments.

Traditional methods of public relations and learning often lack engagement and fail to provide users with a deep and immersive experience. Additionally, these methods struggle to reach a wide audience, especially those unable to visit the physical location. This project aims to solve the issues of accessibility and awareness regarding the institution’s Chalermphrakiat Hall and historical exhibition. Utilizing metaverse technology to simulate important locations allows users to explore the site and view key information in a virtual format, thereby enhancing the engagement of students staff alumni and the general public. The metaverse system is developed using Unity, a powerful game engine capable of supporting the creation of metaverse environments. This allows for the creation of an interactive and realistic virtual space. Unity also supports the management of physics, lighting, and sound, further enhancing realism. Additionally, the system is integrated with web browsers using WebGL technology, enabling the project developed in Unity to be accessed directly through a browser. Users can visit and interact with the metaverse environment from anywhere without the need to install additional software. The developers have thus created the metaverse system to provide a realistic and engaging learning experience, enhancing public relations efforts and fostering a strong connection with the institution efficiently.
