“Equinest” Thai Fruit-Flavored Horse Treats to Enhance Equine Digestive Efficiency.

“Equinest” Thai Fruit-Flavored Horse Treats to Enhance Equine Digestive Efficiency.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a horse treat product that meets the nutritional and health needs of horses by using natural ingredients with beneficial properties, such as oats, wheat flour, corn flour, and organic molasses. These ingredients are rich in fiber, vitamins, and essential minerals for horses, while also enhancing digestive efficiency, reducing the risk of colic, and providing an appropriate energy source. The treat is designed with a shape suitable for a horse’s chewing behavior and is infused with Thai fruit flavors, such as pineapple and ripe mango, to attract horses and make consumption easier. The production process emphasizes cleanliness and safety by selecting organic ingredients and avoiding harmful preservatives. The packaging is designed to maintain product quality for an extended period, prevent moisture, and be convenient for horse owners to use. Additionally, the treat can be used as a reward during horse training, helping to strengthen the bond between the horse and its owner while reducing equine stress. This product serves as both a health-boosting snack and an effective training tool, making it suitable for horses that require highly nutritious supplements. It also provides a new option for horse owners seeking a safe and beneficial product for their horse’s overall well-being.

KinderForest : Puzzle Building Game with VR Technology

KinderForest : Puzzle Building Game with VR Technology is designed to utilize Virtual Reality (VR) technology with the primary aim of promoting creative problem-solving skills and basic practical application abilities among players. This project presents the game in an Augmented Virtual Reality (AR VR) format, emphasizing physical engagement of players during gameplay while fostering creativity and fundamental application skills. The project team has chosen to utilize Unreal Engine 5.1 and Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality glasses to develop the game in the form of augmented virtual reality technology. Within the game, there will be various levels that require creative thinking and different approaches to pass. Time constraints will be a crucial element in completing missions and progressing through these levels. Players will physically move their bodies in response to in-game movements. Each level will present unique challenges that will necessitate both physical movement and problem-solving skills. The game will provide different rewards based on the outcomes of mission completion, and players will be informed of their results once they have successfully passed a level.

"Blood D": Application and Campaign for Physically and Mentally Preparation of Thai Red Cross’s Blood Doner

In the world of blood donation, there are 2 types of people: those who donate blood and those who don't. Most campaigners emphasize how to persuade more people to donate blood and recruit more new blood donors. We believe that even though such focus is important, there're more critical aspects that might have been neglected, which is: for those who have already made up their minds to be blood doners, will they be successful in donating when the time comes? According to our studies, only 63 % of attempted doners are successful. Regrettably, 37 % has to go home disappointed as their bodies are not fit for the conditions required by Red Cross medical staff at blood donation centers (which include some most basic preparations such as low-fat food intake and 8-hours sleep on the night before). Our campaign, ‘Blood in Need, Buddy Indeed’, focuses on 2 aspects. Firstly, to persuade more people to donate blood. Secondly, for those who have made up their minds to donate blood, we will provide necessary support (both body and mind) so that they are fully prepared and successful in donating blood when the time comes via networks of systems, staffs and the newly designed and prototype of the application ‘Blood D’. Our campaign covers the whole ‘before/during/after’ experience of users (as blood doners). Support includes assessment of their current condition whether they are within the requirement of Red Cross Blood Bank. ‘Blood D’ will also provide relevant information on blood donating events, such as locations, and time booking. Once sign-up, the application “Blood D” will sent friendly reminder and clear infographic on how to prepare their bodies as daily notifications during the 7 days countdown. This is to ensure that the users’ blood will be ‘D’ (homophone of the Thai word ‘ดี’ which mean ‘good’ and at the same time playing on the word ‘ Buddy’) or be the ‘good blood’ that can save lives for those in need. After organizing 4 blood donation events both within and outside the KMITL. The numbers of successful blood doners have increased from 63 % to 78 % (this number is the average of 4 events, with the most successful event of 89%). The campaign has won the first runner up in national blood donation campaign competition. It is highly anticipated that once the application “Blood D” is fully launched, it will help increase the amount of blood collected up to 15% with the same numbers of existing doners.
