The Department of Engineering Education at KMITL offers courses in power electronics laboratory practices, which require the use of expensive imported training kits. This results in a loss of national revenue due to the purchase of these imported kits. Therefore, the developers propose a power electronics training kit that offers equivalent or superior functionality to the imported ones while being more cost-effective, making it suitable for student experiments.
การเรียนการสอนรายวิชาอิเล็กทรอนิกส์กำลังในปัจจุบัน มีการใช้การจำลองการทำงานด้วยโปรแกรมคอมพิวเตอร์ เนื่องจากขาดแคลนชุดทดลองจริง ซึ่งการทดลองกับอุปกรณ์จริงยังมีจำเป็นเป็นอย่างยิ่ง ดังนั้นจึงมีการริเริ่มในการสร้างด้วยตนเองเพื่อให้สามารถนำมาใช้ในการเรียนการสอนได้

The objective of this research is to utilize waste slag in industrial applications and help mitigate flooding, water accumulation, and ponding issues. Currently, slag from the steel smelting or refining process is commonly used as a component in construction materials, such as road surfaces. However, slag has properties that make it difficult for water to permeate, leading to poor drainage and increased flooding problems. This study focuses on improving the properties of pavement materials to enhance their strength and water permeability. This can be achieved through physical structural modifications or the addition of chemical agents such as HPMC, which increases void spaces to facilitate water absorption and drainage according to required standards. The utilization of waste slag not only helps reduce production costs and improve material performance but also minimizes environmental impacts and promotes the sustainable use of resources.

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.

In an era where sustainability is at the heart of business operations, eco-friendly packaging is gaining increasing attention. This research explores sustainable business models for alternative packaging, focusing on the case of corn-based paper, an innovation that effectively replaces conventional plastic packaging. The study analyzes key factors that enable businesses using natural raw materials to remain competitive in the market, as well as the growth potential of sustainable packaging compared to plastic-based alternatives. Additionally, it examines the factors influencing consumer behavior in choosing eco-friendly products and evaluates the impact on profitability and social responsibility. This research employs both qualitative and quantitative methods, including case studies of businesses utilizing alternative materials, in-depth interviews with industry experts, and consumer behavior surveys. The findings are expected to provide insights into the business potential of corn-based packaging, strategies for market expansion, and approaches for long-term sustainability. The results of this study will serve as a valuable reference for entrepreneurs seeking to develop green businesses and policymakers aiming to promote sustainable packaging in the market.
