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.

Sugar production from sugarcane is a complex process that requires precise control. One of the major issues is sugar loss, which can result from various factors, particularly "burnt cane," before being sent to the mill. This affects the quality of the sugarcane and the efficiency of sugar extraction, along with the performance of the machinery and the properties of the cane, which impact the amount of sugar extracted. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence sugar loss in the sugar production process, using quantitative data from a sugar factory. Nine variables were examined, including mechanical efficiency, machine downtime per day, cane waiting time per day, sand content in cane juice, pol extraction efficiency, overall working time efficiency, cane juice purity, cane sugar content (C.C.S.), and burnt cane. The data were analyzed using correlation analysis to examine relationships between variables and regression modeling to predict sugar loss. The results showed that mechanical efficiency, cane sugar content, and the amount of sand or impurities in the cane juice were significantly correlated with sugar loss. Mechanical efficiency had a direct relationship with the amount of cane milled, which improved sugar production. On the other hand, burnt cane, or cane that was burnt before harvesting, resulted in reduced sugar extraction and impacted the quality of the sugar. Therefore, reducing sugar loss in the production process can be achieved by improving machine efficiency, reducing impurities in cane juice, and managing burnt cane, which will improve sugar production efficiency in the future.

This research focuses on the development of mango powder using the foam-mat drying method, which is an effective technique for preserving the quality of fruit and vegetable products. Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) was used as a foaming agent. The study evaluated the effects of HPMC on the chemical and physical properties, antioxidant activity, and shelf life of mango powder. The findings indicated that HPMC plays a crucial role in improving the foam stability before drying and enhancing the quality of the dried powder. This research provides a valuable approach to adding value to substandard mango yields and reducing agricultural waste. It also contributes to the development of high-nutritional processed food products with extended shelf life.

This research gives a comprehensive overview of the use of antibiotics in livestock production, highlighting both the benefits and the risks associated with their use. The benefits, such as improving immunity, digestion, and reducing infections, are contrasted with the growing concern over antibiotic residues and the development of drug resistance. The shift towards alternatives like probiotics is explored as a sustainable solution, with a specific focus on lactic acid bacteria (LAB) found in the digestive systems of livestock. Thailand’s regulations, which control antibiotic use in animal feed, are also discussed, setting the stage for the study on LAB as a potential replacement for imported probiotics. 1. Use of Antibiotics in Livestock: Antibiotics have been used to promote growth, improve digestion, and prevent infections in livestock. However, the improper use of antibiotics can lead to residues in animal products and the development of drug-resistant bacteria. 2. Global Trends in Antibiotic Use: Many countries, like the European Union and Japan, have banned antibiotics as growth promoters, while others, like China and the U.S., are planning similar bans. 3. Thailand's Approach: Thailand has implemented a regulation since September 2020 to control the use of antibiotics in animal feed, requiring control at both feed mills and farms that mix their own feed. 4. Probiotics as an Alternative: Probiotics, particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), are being studied as an alternative to antibiotics. LAB are naturally found in the digestive tracts of livestock and are considered beneficial for maintaining gut health and replacing the need for antibiotics. The study examines the potential of LAB from Thai livestock (broilers, pigs, and cattle) as a sustainable alternative to imported probiotics, aiming to overcome issues like low survival rates of foreign probiotics in practice.
