Blood Cell Classification

Abstract

This project has been developed to address medical challenges related to the process of counting and classifying blood cells from samples, a task that requires both time and high precision. To reduce the workload of medical personnel, the developers have created a platform and an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of automatically classifying and counting cells from sample images. This system is designed to assist medical laboratory technicians by enabling them to work more efficiently and accurately, reducing the time required for analysis. Furthermore, it promotes the advancement of medical technology, ensuring effective usability from classrooms and laboratories to hospitals.

Objective

เนื่องจากคณะผู้จัดทำมีโอกาสได้พูดคุยกับบุคลากรที่ทำงานในสายอาชีพเทคนิคการแพทย์ จึงเล็งเห็นถึงปัญหาด้านระยะเวลาการทำงาน โดยเฉพาะในกระบวนการแยกและนับจำนวนเซลล์เม็ดเลือด ซึ่งเป็นขั้นตอนที่ใช้เวลาค่อนข้างมาก คณะผู้จัดทำจึงเล็งเห็นโอกาสในการนำความรู้ที่มีมาพัฒนาแนวทางใหม่เพื่อช่วยลดภาระงานของบุคลากรทางการแพทย์ หากสามารถลดระยะเวลาในกระบวนการดังกล่าวได้ ด้วยเหตุนี้เอง โครงการนี้จึงถูกริเริ่มขึ้นมา โดยมีเป้าหมายเพื่อพัฒนาเทคโนโลยีที่สามารถสนับสนุนการทำงานของบุคลากรทางการแพทย์ และยกระดับคุณภาพของกระบวนการตรวจวินิจฉัยให้มีความรวดเร็วและแม่นยำยิ่งขึ้น

Characteristics and nutrition values of cereal bar fortified with Asian sea bass bone bio-calcium powder.

Bio-calcium powders were extracted from Asian sea bass bone by heat-treated alkaline with fat removal and bleaching supplementary method. Cereal bars (CBs) were fortified with produced bio-calcium at 3 levels: (1) increased calcium (IS-Ca; calcium ≥10% Thai RDI), (2) good source of calcium (GS-Ca; calcium ≥15% Thai RDI), and (3) high calcium (H-Ca; calcium ≥30% Thai RDI) which were consistent with the notification of the Ministry of Public Health, Thailand: No. 445; Nutrition claim issued in B.E. 2023. Moisture content, water activity, color, calcium content and FTIR analysis of bio-calcium powders were measured. Dimension, color, water activity, pH and texture of fortified CBs were determined. Produced bio-calcium could be classified as a dried food with light yellow-white color. Calcium contents in bio-calcium powder was 23.4% (w/w). Dimension, weight and color except b* and ΔE* values of fortified CBs were not different (P > 0.05) from those of the control. Fortifying of bio-calcium resulted in harder texture CBs. An increase of fortified bio-calcium amounts decreased carbohydrate and fat but increased of protein, ash and calcium in the fortified CBs. Shelf life of CBs was to be shorten by fortification of bio-calcium powder because of the increment of moisture, water activity and pH. Yield of bio-calcium production was 40.30%. Production cost of bio-calcium was approximately 7,416 Bth/kg while cost of fortified CBs increased almost 2-3 times compared to the control. Calcium contents in IS-Ca (921.12 mg/100g), GS-Ca (1,287.10 mg/100g) and H-Ca (2,639.70 mg/100g) cereal bars could be claimed as increased calcium, good source of calcium and high calcium, respectively. In conclusion, production of cereal bar fortified with Asian sea bass bone bio-calcium powder as a fortified food was possible. However, checking the remained hazardous reagents in bio-calcium powder must be carried out before using in food products and analysis of calcium bioavailability, sensory acceptance and shelf life of the developed products should be determined in further studies.

The impact of climate change on the yield of Bambara groundnut in Thailand using the DSSAT model

Climate change affects agricultural systems worldwide, including Thailand, and may lead to reduced crop yields, impacting food security. Bambara groundnut is a crop with the potential to adapt to changing environments and can thrive in areas with limited resources. This research aims to study the impact of climate change on Bambara groundnut yields in Thailand using the DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) model, an important tool for predicting plant growth under various environmental conditions. This study utilizes climate data, soil composition, and genetic information of Bambara groundnut to simulate and analyze yield trends under future climate scenarios. Four study areas in Thailand were selected: Songkhla, Lampang, Yasothon, and Saraburi. The CSM-CROPGRO-Bambara groundnut model was used to assess the impact of changing temperature and rainfall on the growth and yield of Bambara groundnut. The results of this study are expected to provide farmers and researchers with valuable information for planning cultivation and managing peanut production in response to climate change. Additionally, the findings can help formulate policy guidelines to promote the cultivation of climate-resilient crops and support the country's food security.
