This project is a carbon safe haven of Bangkok, aspiring to be the prototypal gateway of the future's carbon net zero ambitions. The project aims to answer the fundamental "flaw" of the existing urban fabric, still being extremely inefficient and highly polluting. Conversely, Carbon Oasis would not only create its own energy, but look to provide its excess energy and water surplus' back to the city and its surroundings. Taking parts of the existing city and implementing new concepts to inspire a change in the urban fabric and its people.
โครงการนี้เริ่มต้นจากความสนใจส่วนตัวในด้านสิ่งแวดล้อมและ Green Design โดยณปัจจุบันโลกกำลังเผชิญกับวิกฤตสภาพภูมิอากาศ ซึ่งตอนนี้อุณหภูมิโลกได้เพิ่มสูงขึ้นถึงระดับ 1.5°C และกำลังเข้าใกล้ขีดจำกัด 2°C เพื่อรับมือกับสถานการณ์นี้องค์กร United Nations ได้กำหนดเป้าหมายใว้ในปี 2015 ในการบรรลุ Carbon Net Zero ภายในปี 2050 โครงการนี้ทำขึ้นเพื่อเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของการเปลี่ยนแปลงในสถาปัตยกรรมสู่อนาคต

The extreme weathers according to PM 2.5 is a global problem with out any borders. This pollutant can directly attack human health. The objective of the study was aimed to develop medicinal plant essential oil emulsions in order to use to decrease PM 2.5 based on chemical characterization of water-soluble anions and cations. A mount of 31 medicinal plant essential oil emulsions were prepared and then initially careened and tested for their efficiency in reducing PM 2.5 under test chamber by spraying method. It was found that spraying for 1 hr with kaffir lime essential oil emulsion at 0.025% concentration could reduce PM 2.5 obtained from engine exhaust pipe effectively when PM 2.5 of 24.7 µg/m3 was detected within 6 hrs, followed by kaffir lime essential oil emulsion at 0.05% and Eucalyptus essential oil emulsion at 0.05% and 0.025% concentration resulting in 27.3, 30.0 and 95.3 µg/m3, respectively. Whereas, water (blank) and control group (water and carboxymethylcellulose, CMC 0.2%) showed high revels of PM 2.5 with 126.4 and 157.3 µg/m3, respectively. This kaffir lime essential oil emulsion at 0.025% concentration showed 3-6 time decline of PM 2.5 upward 2 hrs compared with control group. Field experiment was performed at 3 Bangkok parks, namely, Suantaweewanarom, Suanbankharepirom and Suanthonbureerom. There were many factors affecting the decline of PM 2.5 caused by this essential oil emulsion, particularly, the windy as well as temperature and humidity. PM 2.5 level tended to be decreased after the beginning of spraying. In general, PM 2.5 levels appeared at those 3 parks were decreased rapidly within 1 hr as by average of 21.8 (7.7-27.3) µg/m3, Whereas, decline of only 6.4 (5.0-8.0) µg/m3 was observed in control (water). Incase of calm wind, (10-20 km/hr) this plant essential oil emulsion could even reduce PM 2.5 at 37.0-44.0 µg/m3 and reached to 13.5-16.5 µg/m3 within 3 hrs. As high level of PM 2.5 as 98.0-101.0 µg/m3 , it could reduce PM 2.5 to be an average of 23.0-26.5 µg/m3 within 3 hrs, Whereas, the use of water performed low capacity of PM 2.5 reduction found with only 31.0-40.0 µg/m3. However, windy condition (15-35 km/hr), the efficacy of this essential oil emulsion seem to be lower but tended to work better than using water alone

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.

Diabetes is a significant global health issue, particularly due to complications related to diabetic wounds. Studies indicate that approximately 15-25% of diabetic patients develop foot ulcers, with more than 50% of severe cases leading to amputation. This results in a substantial decline in the quality of life for patients. Current treatments for diabetic wounds face challenges such as antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections and delayed wound healing, highlighting the need for innovative solutions to accelerate the healing process and reduce the risk of limb loss. Cotylelobium lanceolatum Craib, a medicinal plant long utilized in traditional Thai medicine, is known for its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. This study focuses on developing an extract from Cotylelobium lanceolatum Craib in the form of nano silver (Nano Silver) to enhance the effectiveness of diabetic wound treatment. Nano silver technology enables deeper penetration into the skin, provides potent antibacterial activity, and promotes wound healing by reducing inflammation and stimulating tissue regeneration. The development of nano silver derived from Cotylelobium lanceolatum Craib extract is expected to help reduce chronic wounds in diabetic patients, lower the risk of infection, and decrease the incidence of limb amputation and mortality associated with diabetic wound complications. This research represents a significant step toward creating a safer and more effective treatment alternative for diabetic wound care.
