Toys Design from Scrap Wood Waste by Pallet Maker Group Co., Ltd.
บริษัท พาเลท เมกเกอร์ กรุ๊ป จำกัด เป็นผู้ผลิตพาเลทไม้ ซึ่งมีกระบวนการผลิตที่ทำให้เกิดเศษไม้เหลือทิ้งจำนวนมาก เศษไม้เหล่านี้มักถูกกำจัดทิ้งหรือนำไปขายในราคาต่ำ ซึ่งนอกจากจะเป็นการสูญเสียทรัพยากรแล้วยังส่งผลกระทบต่อสิ่งแวดล้อม เช่น การเพิ่มปริมาณขยะและปัญหาการตัดไม้ทำลายป่า โครงการนี้จึงมีแนวคิดในการนำเศษไม้เหล่านี้มาออกแบบและผลิตเป็นของเล่นเชิงการศึกษาที่ช่วยเสริมสร้างพัฒนาการของเด็ก โดยมุ่งเน้นให้เป็นของเล่นที่ปลอดภัยและเป็นมิตรต่อสิ่งแวดล้อม นอกจากนี้ โครงการนี้ยังสอดคล้องกับแนวคิดเศรษฐกิจหมุนเวียน (Circular Economy) ที่มุ่งเน้นการใช้ทรัพยากรอย่างคุ้มค่าและลดขยะ ด้วยการนำวัสดุเหลือใช้กลับมาใช้ใหม่ (Upcycling) อีกทั้งยังแสดงให้เห็นถึงความสำคัญของการออกแบบอย่างรับผิดชอบ ที่สามารถสร้างมูลค่าเพิ่มจากวัสดุที่ถูกมองข้ามได้อย่างสร้างสรรค์

The Diabetes Meal Management Application is a digital health tool designed to empower Type 2 diabetic patients in managing their diet and blood sugar levels more effectively. With features like personalized meal recommendations, nutrient tracking, and seamless integration with wearable blood glucose monitors via Blood sugar measuring device (CGM), the application enables users to monitor glucose fluctuations in real time and adjust dietary choices accordingly. Built with the Flutter framework and supported by a backend of Express.js and MongoDB, the application prioritizes a user-friendly interface, ensuring easy navigation and encouraging consistent engagement with meal planning and health tracking. Preliminary user trials show that the application contributes to more stable blood sugar levels and improved adherence to dietary recommendations, helping users reduce health risks associated with diabetes complications. By offering a proactive approach to diabetes management, the application reduces the need for frequent clinical interventions, thus potentially lowering medical costs over time. This project highlights the promising role of digital health solutions in supporting personalized diabetes care, emphasizing the potential for scalable, user-centered interventions that foster long-term health improvements for diabetic patients.

The thesis artwork titled “The Red Mist” presents a narrative adapted from a short story of the same name by Assistant Professor Chatnarong Wisutkul in 2003. The story is set in a future world where people's greed and selfishness have led to a war, forcing them to rely on "breathing machines" to survive in the "red toxic mist." Phakin, a 15-year-old boy, embarks on a journey with a group of refugees. As they pass through abandoned cities, they encounter a boy without a breathing machine who has recently lost his father. Phakin decides to help him, despite objections from others. The boy tries to end his life by shutting off his breathing machine, and when Phakin intervenes to save him, he collapses from inhaling the toxic air. Witnessing Phakin's selfless act, the others are moved and join forces to save both of them. Phakin demonstrates that in difficult times, humans must cooperate and help each other rather than being divided and selfish.

Bio-calcium powders were extracted from Asian sea bass bone by heat-treated alkaline with fat removal and bleaching supplementary method. Cereal bars (CBs) were fortified with produced bio-calcium at 3 levels: (1) increased calcium (IS-Ca; calcium ≥10% Thai RDI), (2) good source of calcium (GS-Ca; calcium ≥15% Thai RDI), and (3) high calcium (H-Ca; calcium ≥30% Thai RDI) which were consistent with the notification of the Ministry of Public Health, Thailand: No. 445; Nutrition claim issued in B.E. 2023. Moisture content, water activity, color, calcium content and FTIR analysis of bio-calcium powders were measured. Dimension, color, water activity, pH and texture of fortified CBs were determined. Produced bio-calcium could be classified as a dried food with light yellow-white color. Calcium contents in bio-calcium powder was 23.4% (w/w). Dimension, weight and color except b* and ΔE* values of fortified CBs were not different (P > 0.05) from those of the control. Fortifying of bio-calcium resulted in harder texture CBs. An increase of fortified bio-calcium amounts decreased carbohydrate and fat but increased of protein, ash and calcium in the fortified CBs. Shelf life of CBs was to be shorten by fortification of bio-calcium powder because of the increment of moisture, water activity and pH. Yield of bio-calcium production was 40.30%. Production cost of bio-calcium was approximately 7,416 Bth/kg while cost of fortified CBs increased almost 2-3 times compared to the control. Calcium contents in IS-Ca (921.12 mg/100g), GS-Ca (1,287.10 mg/100g) and H-Ca (2,639.70 mg/100g) cereal bars could be claimed as increased calcium, good source of calcium and high calcium, respectively. In conclusion, production of cereal bar fortified with Asian sea bass bone bio-calcium powder as a fortified food was possible. However, checking the remained hazardous reagents in bio-calcium powder must be carried out before using in food products and analysis of calcium bioavailability, sensory acceptance and shelf life of the developed products should be determined in further studies.
