This study aims to identify the toothbrush appearance factors that affect baby boomers purchasing decisions. The research divide into three stages: The first stage is to classify the toothbrush appearance factors through a review of literature, research, and examining toothbrushes currently available on the market, summarizing them as appearance factors. The second stage is to summarize the results of the toothbrush appearance factors to create a multiple-choice questionnaire in three dimensions: purchasing decisions, aesthetics, and functionality. Collecting data from a group of 30 Baby Boomers aged 57-75 years old. The last stage is to summarize the three dimensions of appearance factors affecting baby boomers' toothbrush purchasing decisions and report as percentages and rank them. The research findings indicate that the most significant toothbrush appearance factor is a "Curved handle," accounting for 80%, followed by “Multi-level bristles” at 70%, a "Rubber thumb rest" at 53.3%, "Handle divided into more than two parts" at 50%, and “Offset shape” at 40%, respectively. In terms of the reason for purchasing decision based on various factors are as follows: the curved handle and offset shape give a sense of purchase with its aesthetic, While the selection of multi-level bristles, the Rubber thumb rest, and the handle divided into more than two parts due to functionality.
เทรนด์ผู้สูงอายุเป็นเทรนด์ที่ได้รับความสนใจเป็นอย่างมาก แต่แบรนด์ส่วนใหญ่ยังไม่ปรับตัวเพื่อให้เหมาะกับเทรนด์ผู้สูงอายุอย่างชัดเจน ข้อมูลการออกแบบจากโครงการนี้จึงเป็นประโยชน์ต่อนักออกแบบและธุรกิจที่กำลังสนใจกลุ่มผู้สูงอายุซึ่งกำลังมีสัดส่วนที่มากขึ้นเรื่อยๆในประเทศไทย ผู้วิจัยจึงสนใจทำการเก็บข้อมูลและวิเคราะห์ปัจจัยรูปร่างภายนอกที่มีผลต่อการตัดสินใจซื้อแปรงสีฟันของประชากรกลุ่มเบบี้บูมเมอร์ เพื่อเป็นฐานข้อมูลที่อาจเป็นประโยชน์ต่อผู้ประกอบหรือนักออกแบบต่อไป

Soil is home to a diverse array of living organisms that interact within a complex food web, facilitating energy and nutrient cycling essential for sustaining life above ground. Among these organisms, soil microbes play a crucial role in supporting plant growth. Beneficial microorganisms enhance nutrient availability, improve soil structure by increasing porosity, and strengthen plant resistance to diseases. Conversely, harmful microorganisms, such as plant pathogens, can hinder plant growth and reduce crop yields when present in high concentrations. Neutral microorganisms, which naturally inhabit the soil, contribute to the soil ecosystem without directly impacting plants. A single teaspoon of soil contains over a billion microorganisms, yet only about 1% of them can be cultured in laboratory conditions. This highlights soil as one of the richest reservoirs of microbial diversity on Earth.

The research on improving the strength of solid electrolytes aims to enhance the properties of solid electrolyte materials produced from cement and additives that help develop the cement structure to generate electricity. The main components include sodium chloride (NaCl) and graphite, which contribute to the material’s ability to generate a weak electrical current. The objective is to develop an electricity-generating flooring material. This study involves preparing a mixture of cement, water, sodium chloride (NaCl), and graphite to enhance the material’s electrical conductivity. It is highly anticipated that this research will lead to the development of concrete flooring capable of generating electricity and can be further expanded for future applications.

The presented project topic is Garbage Sorting Systems. The purpose is to study the operation and develop a waste sorting system that can automatically detect the type of waste using a proximity sensor to separate the types of metal and non-metal waste, as well as an ultrasonic sensor to check the amount of waste in the bin. If the amount of waste exceeds the specified amount, the system will send a notification to the communication device connected to the system, such as a smartphone or computer. The operation of the system is designed to increase the efficiency of waste management, reduce the burden of manual waste sorting, and promote recycling. This system can be applied in various places, such as educational institutions or public places, to help reduce the amount of waste that is not properly separated and increase the opportunity to reuse waste.
