Wildland Fire Fighter Suit

Wildland Fire Fighter Suit

Abstract

The forest firefighting suit consists of the following components and uses: The forest firefighting suit is designed and developed to be suitable for the behavior of the officers and the conditions of the work area, consisting of a shirt and pants. The material used in the sewing of the suit is aramid fabric, which has the property of being able to prevent the spread of fire, to prevent the officers from burning while performing their duties in the event that the forest fire spreads close to them, which is different from the current suits that cannot prevent fires. The shirt is designed with a mesh on the side of the body to release internal heat so that air can circulate well. The sleeves at the elbows have a support point to prevent contact with the ground or obstacles. The collar has a slot for a portable fan and a fan air circulation channel on the back, which can be turned on while performing forest firefighting duties, helping to prevent the body temperature from getting too hot, reducing the risk of heatstroke. When the fan battery runs out, it can be removed for charging and put back in when needed. The pants are designed with mesh on the inside or in blind spots to release internal heat so that air can circulate well. The pants at the knees have a support point to prevent contact with the ground or obstacles. The forest firefighting suit, consisting of a shirt and pants, has been designed and developed to be able to be produced domestically, reducing imports from abroad

Objective

ปัญหาไฟป่าที่ทวีความรุนแรงขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ ส่งผลกระทบในหลายๆด้านโดยเฉพาะผู้ที่พักอาศัยบริเวณใกล้ไฟป่าต้องเผชิญกับปัญหาด้านสุขภาพที่เกิดจากฝุ่น PM2.5 ประกอบกับทางภาครัฐยังขาดแคลนบุคลากรเจ้าหน้าที่ ที่มีความชำนาญในการดับไฟป่า รวมถึงยังขาดชุดดับไฟป่าที่เป็นชุดสามารถกันไฟได้เหมาะสมต่อการดับไฟ เนื่องจากในปัจจุบันชุดที่เจ้าหน้าที่อุทยาน และเจ้าหน้าที่ศูนย์ดับไฟป่า สวมใส่ในการปฏิบัติหน้าที่นั้นเป็นชุดลายพลาง กางเกงกับเสื้อแบบทั่วไป ไม่สามารถปกป้อง หรือกันไฟเมื่อไฟมาถึงระยะประชิดตัวได้ในระดับที่เหมาะสม ซึ่งสาเหตุนี้ส่งผลให้เจ้าหน้าที่บางรายได้รับอันตรายถึงขั้นไฟคลอกได้ ผู้วิจัยจึงได้เล็งเห็นถึงความสำคัญในการออกแบบและพัฒนาชุดดับไฟป่า เพื่อให้เจ้าหน้าที่อุทยาน และเจ้าหน้าที่ศูนย์ดับไฟป่า สามารถสวมใส่ปฏิบัติหน้าที่ได้อย่างปลอดภัย ช่วยลดอุปสรรคในการดับไฟป่าและปฏิบัติหน้าที่ได้อย่างเต็มประสิทธิภาพมากยิ่งขึ้น

A Cold Cover for Raw Milk Transportation

This study was conducted to develop a prototype cooling cover for transporting raw milk, aiming to provide a solution for maintaining the quality of raw milk during transportation to milk collection centers. The cooling cover is made using Phase Change Material (PCM), produced from water mixed with a gelling agent, in an amount of 5.6 kg, attached around an aluminum milk tank (with a capacity of 25 L). The cover is then covered with a UV-reflective fabric in two types: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The temperature reduction performance of both types of covers was evaluated by measuring water temperatures at various points along the radial and vertical directions of the milk tank at six points, using type-T thermocouples, under three environmental conditions: a constant temperature of 25 °C, 35 °C, and outdoor ambient temperature (average temperature 35.5 °C) for a minimum duration of 180 min. The experimental results revealed that at 120 min., the water in the tank covered with PCM-PVC and PCM-HDPE covers had temperatures lower than the ambient temperature by 12.6 °C and 12.9 °C, respectively, under a constant ambient temperature of 25 °C, and under a constant ambient temperature of 35 °C lower by 16.7 °C and 16.4 °C, respectively, and outdoor conditions. Since the temperature reduction performance of PCM-PVC and PCM-HDPE covers showed no significant difference, the performance of microbial quality preservation of raw milk was assessed only with PCM-PVC cover in comparison to a non-covered case (control), by measuring coliform and Escherichia coli counts using compact dry plates. Results indicated that after 120 min., milk in the tank covered with PCM-PVC had an average coliform count of 1.6 × 10^4 CFU/ml and E. coli count of 2 × 10^3 CFU/ml, which was lower than the non-covered control with an average coliform count of 1.5 × 10^4 CFU/ml and E. coli count of 1.1 × 10^4 CFU/ml. This study concludes that the temperature reduction achieved by the cooling cover can help inhibit coliform growth to levels below raw milk quality standards, demonstrating the potential of the cooling cover in maintaining the quality and safety of raw milk during transport, ultimately contributing to an improved quality of life for Thai dairy farmers.

HEALTHCARE SYSTEM FOR GERIATRIC SCREENING IN ELDERLY CANCER PATIENTS

Cancer is one of the major health issues in Thailand, particularly as the country enters an aging society. The risk of chronic diseases among the elderly often results in limitations in treatment, making it difficult for most patients to achieve a complete recovery. This necessitates continuous care and the provision of accurate information and guidance about cancer. However, current health record systems for patients lack effective interconnectivity, which hinders data analysis and the development of patient care models. Additionally, incorrect information about cancer spread across social media can lead to misunderstandings among elderly patients. To address these issues, researchers have developed a chatbot system that utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology to understand human language and accurately respond to questions about elderly cancer patient care. The chatbot provides reliable and up-to-date information based on medical knowledge sourced from a database reviewed by healthcare professionals. Furthermore, a web application has been developed to record and analyze patient assessments according to medical standards, enabling healthcare providers to plan and develop appropriate treatment approaches in a better way. This system also facilitates data sharing and connectivity across hospital systems, allowing information to be used to enhance the precision and modernity of treatment approaches. In addition, the chatbot acts as an assistant, providing information and guidance to patients, reducing the workload of healthcare staff in answering questions and encouraging patients to take a more active role in managing their own health.
