ด้วยสถานการณ์ “ค่าครองชีพ” ของประเทศไทยในปัจจุบันมีแนวโน้มพุ่งขึ้นสูงเรื่อยๆ นับตั้งแต่ ยุคหลังโควิด-19 แต่ฐานเงินเดือนและรายได้ของนักศึกษาจบใหม่ ก็ยังคงมีฐานเริ่มต้นเหมือนเดิม ไม่ต่างจากหลายปีก่อน เป็นผลทำให้ประชากรที่พึ่งสำเร็จการศึกษา ในประเทศไทยจำนวนไม่น้อย ประสบกับปัญหาเรื่องการจัดการค่าใช้จ่าย ให้สอดคล้องกับค่าครองชีพอย่างเหมาะสมในปัจจุบัน ทั้งค่าใช้จ่ายคงที่ และค่าใช้จ่ายผันแปร ที่แปรเปลี่ยนไปตามวิถีชีวิตของแต่ละคน มากน้อย ตามความต้องการและรสนิยม ซึ่งเป็นค่าใช้จ่ายที่ต้องระวังและควบคุมการใช้จ่ายอย่างมีสติเสมอโดยเฉพาะค่าใช้จ่ายเรื่องอาหารที่แม้แต่ตามสั่งทั่วไปก็พุ่งสูงขึ้นเรื่อยเรื่อยไม่มีท่าทีจะลดลงแม้ต้นทุนวัตถุดิบจะปรับปรุงก็ตาม

The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze the factors influencing household energy expenditures in Thailand. With sample group of 57,600 households. The findings reveal that the majority of the sample population is male, with an average age of 54.31 years, and most are married. The majority have an education level of primary or secondary school and are primarily Own-account worker (without employee), Private company employee or engaged in other job. In terms of social characteristics, the average household size is 2.71 people. Most residences are located in the Central, Northeastern, and Northern regions with similar proportions, followed by the Southern region and Bangkok, respectively. Most type of dwelling in detached houses, with materials of construction being cement or brick, followed by half concrete and wood. Regarding tenure, almost own dwelling and land, with an average of 2.88 rooms per household. Electricity is available in all households, with an average of 2.30 vehicles per household and an average of 22 electrical appliances per household. Regarding economic characteristics, most respondents have government/state enterprise welfare and receive benefits from the government programs. The majority have never borrow money from government funds. The average communication services of respondents amount to 788.46 THB, while the average household debt stands at 4,760.74 THB. At a significance level of 0.05, the factors influencing household energy expenditures in Thailand include gender, education level, marital status, job, household size, residential region, type of dwelling, material of construction, tenure, number of rooms, number of vehicles, number of electrical appliances, welfare of medical services, receive benefits from the government programs, borrow money from government funds, communication services, and household debt. However, age does not affect household energy expenditures in Thailand. The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicate that six quantitative independent variables—communication services, number of household electrical appliances, number of vehicles in the household, household debt, number of rooms, and household size—explain variations in household energy expenditures, with an Adjusted R Square value of 0.561.

This project involves the development of a plant care system for dormitories using IoT (Internet of Things). The system is implemented through programming on an ESP-32 board and controlled via sensors for automated watering. The commands are operated through smartphones, supporting both iOS and Android. It is expected that this project will make plant care in dormitories easier and more convenient.

This study investigated the effects of seed priming with Chaetomorpha sp. seaweed extract on seed germination and seedling growth of chili pepper. The objective was to examine the influence of seaweed extract concentrations on seed germination and seedling development. Seeds were primed in different concentrations of Chaetomorpha sp. extract, compared with a control treatment. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with four replications. Results showed that seed priming with seaweed extract enhanced seed germination characteristics. Primed seeds exhibited improved germination percentage, germination index, and germination rate compared to the control. Additionally, seedlings from primed seeds showed enhanced root and shoot development. This study demonstrates the potential of Chaetomorpha sp. extract as a promising seed priming agent for improving chili pepper seed quality, which can be applied in the production of high-quality chili pepper seedlings.
