Efficient durian orchard development requires integrating knowledge, technology, and innovation from farmers and academics to cope with environmental changes and market demands. The Durian Web-based Learning Hub is an online learning platform developed to serve as a central hub for knowledge transfer from experts and as a space for experience exchange among farmers. Users can access learning resources conveniently and continuously. This platform is part of the Innovation Project for Production and Marketing Information Management Innovation for Enhancing the Quality of Durian Production Entering into Premium Markets, supported by the Program Management Unit for Area-Based Development (PMUA)
การทำสวนทุเรียนในปัจจุบันเผชิญกับความท้าทายหลายด้าน ทั้งการเปลี่ยนแปลงสภาพภูมิอากาศ โรคและแมลงศัตรูพืชชนิดใหม่ และความต้องการของตลาดที่เปลี่ยนแปลงอย่างรวดเร็ว ในขณะที่องค์ความรู้และประสบการณ์ที่มีค่าของเกษตรกรและผู้เชี่ยวชาญกระจายอยู่ในหลายพื้นที่ การเข้าถึงข้อมูลและการแลกเปลี่ยนประสบการณ์แบบดั้งเดิมมีข้อจำกัดด้านเวลาและระยะทาง จึงจำเป็นต้องพัฒนาแพลตฟอร์มการเรียนรู้ออนไลน์ที่จะเชื่อมโยงผู้คนในวงการทุเรียนเข้าด้วยกัน เพื่อสร้างชุมชนแห่งการเรียนรู้ที่เข้มแข็งและยั่งยืน

Microalgae are rich in bioactive compounds that may contribute to the growth of probiotics, which require appropriate nutrients, known as prebiotics, to thrive. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of crude extracts from intracellular components residues of the microalga Chlorella sp. KLSc61 in promoting the growth of the probiotic bacterium Lactiplantibacillus plantarum JCM1149 under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The intracellular extracts were obtained using 70% (v/v) ethanol, and their effects on probiotic growth were tested at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.75% and 1.5%. The growth of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum JCM1149 was assessed using the drop plate method. The findings of this study will provide insights into the potential of Chlorella sp. KLSc61 extracts in enhancing probiotic growth, which could lead to the development of synbiotic dietary supplements containing both probiotics and prebiotics. Additionally, this study may serve as a foundation for further research on the role of microalgal extracts in gut health and immune system modulation.

The reuse of cooking oil in food preparation leads to oil degradation and the formation of harmful compounds due to oxidation. This study focuses on enhancing the stability of used palm oil through ultrasound-assisted infusion with three varieties of banana blossoms: Kluai Khai, Kluai Hom, and Kluai Nam Wa, which are rich in phenolic compounds and antioxidants. The research investigates the restoration of used palm oil by infusing dried and powdered banana blossoms using ultrasonic treatment at different temperatures and durations. The quality of the infused oil was evaluated through physical (water activity, moisture content, and color), chemical (peroxide value, acid value, and Thio barbituric acid reactive substances), and antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP) analyses.

The design of Dreamscape Park, a public park covering an area of 50 rai, is based on the concept of ART. The design focuses on preserving green spaces while enhancing functionality to cater to people of all ages. The park features a landmark in the form of a water pond shaped like a drop of ink and a medium-sized amphitheater for various activities. Additional relaxation areas include a café, chill-out seating, outdoor activity zones, and sports facilities such as a basketball court, a takraw court, and walking/running paths around the park. There are also pet zones, children's play areas, gardens at various points, and accessible pathways throughout the area. Users can enjoy a peaceful environment and engage in activities according to their preferences.
