This piece represents the collection of all human elements, applied to design for maximum efficiency, following the principles of Modern designers who embraced the famous phrase "Form follows Function." Every line and structure of the design is carefully considered for user comfort and practical use, while reflecting the idea that the user's experience is central to the design process. The beauty emerges from the harmony between function and form, not only meeting functional needs but also enhancing the aesthetic of Modernist design in a complete and meaningful way.

Bacteriocins are microbial peptides that demonstrate potency against pathogens. This study evaluated the inhibitory effects on pathogens and characterized the bacteriogenomic profile of strain TKP1-5, isolated from the feces of Anas platyrhynchos domesticus. Strain TKP1-5 was characterized using phenotypic traits, 16S rRNA sequencing, and Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS). It exhibited growth in the presence of 2-6% NaCl, temperatures of 25-45°C, and pH levels ranging from 3 to 9. Based on ANIb, ANIm, and dDDH values, strain TKP1-5 was identified as Lactococcus lactis. Whole genome analysis revealed that strain TKP1-5 harbors the Nisin Z peptide gene cluster with a bit-score of 114.775. The antimicrobial spectrum of bacteriocin TKP1-5 showed inhibitory effects against pathogenic bacteria including Pediococcus pentosaceus JCM5885, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, Enterococcus faecalis JCM 5803T, Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 13311ᵀ, Aeromonas hydrophila B1 AhB1, Streptococcus agalactiae 1611 and Streptococcus cowan I. Genomic analysis confirmed L. lactis TKP1-5 as a non-human pathogen without antibiotic resistance genes or plasmids. Furthermore, L. lactis TKP1-5 contains potential genes associated with various probiotic properties and health benefits. This suggests that L. lactis TKP1-5, with its antibacterial activity and probiotic potential, could be a promising candidate for further research and application in the food industry.

Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are a byproduct of the coffee brewing process, and their quantity continues to increase due to the growing global coffee consumption. SCG contain beneficial compounds such as polysaccharides, dietary fibers, and antioxidants, which can be utilized in various applications, including prebiotic extraction. This study focuses on extracting prebiotics from SCG using acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis methods to evaluate their potential in promoting the growth of beneficial gut microorganisms. The expected results of this research include adding value to coffee industry waste, reducing organic waste, and providing a sustainable approach to developing prebiotic products for use in the food and health industries. Furthermore, this study aligns with sustainable resource utilization and environmentally friendly practices.

"Eco Mango Pack: Eco-friendly Packaging for a Sustainable Future" focuses on developing innovative packaging for Nam Dok Mai mangoes, considering fruit safety, shelf life, and environmental impact. The selected materials include a box made from coconut husk, and dry water hyacinth stems have been utilized as internal cushioning to enhance shock resistance. Additionally, dried coffee grounds are incorporated into the packaging to extend the mango's shelf life. The design also takes into account the needs of small-scale farmers, making the packaging suitable for community enterprise production and reducing production costs. This project aims to add value to Thai agricultural products, support the circular economy concept, and promote the use of environmentally friendly materials in the packaging industry.
