This experiment aimed to study the suitable types of polymers for coating with chlorophyll extract and the quality of cucumber seeds after coating. The experiment was planned using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications, consisting of five methods involving seeds coated with different types of polymers: Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Sodium Alginate, Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, and Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, each polymer being coated alongside chlorophyll, with uncoated seeds serving as the control method. The coating substance was prepared by extracting chlorophyll from mango leaves, then mixed with each type of polymer at a concentration of 1%, using an 8% concentration of chlorophyll extract. The properties of each coating method, such as pH and viscosity of the coating substance, were examined before coating the cucumber seeds with a rotary disk coater model RRC150 at a coating rate of 1,100 milliliters per 1 kilogram of seeds. Subsequently, the seeds were dried to reach the initial moisture level using a hot air blower, and seed quality was assessed in various aspects, including seed moisture, germination rate under laboratory conditions, germination index, and seed fluorescence under a portable ultraviolet light illuminator, as well as light emission spectrum analysis using a Spectrophotometer. The experiment found that each type of polymer could be used to form a film together with chlorophyll, which had appropriate pH and viscosity for the coating without affecting seed quality and showed fluorescence on the seed surface both under portable ultraviolet light and spectral emission analysis with a Spectrophotometer. Using HPMC as the film-forming agent with chlorophyll was the most suitable method, enhancing seed fluorescence efficiency.
สารเรืองแสงที่นิยมใช้เคลือบเมล็ดพันธุ์ในปัจจุบันมีหลายชนิด เช่น Rhodamine B, Curcumin, Auramine O แต่สารเหล่านี้บางชนิดหากใช้ไปเป็นเวลานานอาจเป็นพิษต่อร่างกายมนุษย์ หากสะสมในร่างกายอาจก่อให้เกิด oxidative stress ซึ่งกระตุ้นให้เซลล์เกิดการเสียหาย เพิ่มความเสี่ยงของโรคบางอย่างได้ ในงานวิจัยนี้จึงเลือกใช้สารสกัดจากธรรมชาติมาใช้เคลือบเมล็ดพันธุ์ คือ สารสกัดคลอโรฟิลล์ มีข้อดี คือ หาได้ง่าย มีวิธีการสกัดที่ไม่ซับซ้อน แต่ข้อจำกัดของสารสกัดคลอโรฟิลล์คือมีความสามารถในการเคลือบร่วมกับพอลิเมอร์ได้บางชนิด อาจทำให้ประสิทธิการเรืองแสงมีคุณภาพลดลง ดังนั้นการวิจัยนี้จึงมีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อหาชนิดของพอลิเมอร์ที่เหมาะสมในการนำมาเคลือบร่วมกับสารสกัดคลอโรฟิลล์แล้วไม่ส่งผลต่อประสิทธิภาพการเรืองแสงและคุณภาพของเมล็ดพันธุ์

When it comes to the general perception of death, it is often seen as something negative or inauspicious. However, the end or death of someone can sometimes be the beginning of change, influencing thoughts, lifestyles, and attitudes in a positive way for those around them. For students aged 13-18, accessing and understanding this topic remains a challenge. Most available information is often presented in complex forms that are difficult for young people to grasp. Moreover, teaching materials in schools often lack creativity and engagement, leading to a decline in students’ interest in this subject. To address this issue, a website has been designed as an accessible and creative resource. It aims to deepen young people's understanding of the impact of actions and the death of individuals on the world they live in, while inspiring them to become part of creating positive change for the future.

Smart Agriculture has rapidly developed in recent years, particularly with the integration of robotics and automation technologies to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, thereby enhancing the quality of current agricultural practices. A key innovation in this area is the rail-based robotic arm, designed to enhance work efficiency using a rail system with high precision and effectiveness. The application of this robotic arm covers various processes, such as planting, sorting, maintenance, harvesting, and resource management, allowing continuous operation and reducing human labor in repetitive and high-risk tasks. Studies have shown that the use of rail-based robotic arms in agriculture can significantly improve work efficiency, reduce production costs, and effectively mitigate environmental impact. By using robots in agricultural processes, it is possible to reduce contamination, lower the risk of crop damage, and make agriculture more sustainable. Additionally, it can increase accuracy in operations on limited spaces or farms with diverse crops. From these findings, it can be concluded that adopting rail-based robotic arm technology in agriculture not only enhances long-term production efficiency but also promotes sustainable agriculture and maximizes resource use, meeting future agricultural demands
