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.

Agricultural products and by-products are important raw materials in various industries including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Agro-based fibers have the composition, properties and structure that make them suitable for uses as composite-cosmetic industry. Upon microwave digestion, cellulose have been successfully synthesized into nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) with lengths from 50-1000 nm, widths between 5-70 nm. Nanocrystalline cellulose was grafted with cosmetic active ingredients such as glycerin), sodium hyaluronate), glycolic acid, and nicotinamide. The beauty active ingredients attached nanocelluloses can penetrate through the skin to enhance beauty and youth.

This study focuses on the use of ceramic tile powder as a cement replacement material in concrete at an appropriate ratio. The objective is to investigate the properties of replacing cement with tile powder and to determine the optimal mixing ratio of tile powder in cement mortar that can yield properties equivalent to or superior to conventional cement mortar. The experiment involved preparing cement mortar samples by replacing cement with two types of ceramic tile powder waste from tile manufacturing plants: waste tile powder and rectified tile powder. The mixing process was divided into two parts: Part 1 used a cement and tile powder ratio, while Part 2 used the results of the strength analysis from Part 1 to adjust the ratio accordingly. Various properties were tested, including specific gravity, normal consistency, setting time, tensile strength, and compressive strength. The results of the study revealed that replacing of cement with rectified tile powder provided the highest tensile and compressive strength, comparable to that of conventional cement mortar. Therefore, the use of ceramic tile powder as a replacement can enhance compressive strength while reducing cement usage, which has positive environmental implications by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions from cement production. Furthermore, this approach promotes the effective use of waste materials from the ceramic industry, contributing to the sustainability of the construction industry.
