Otitis Media is an infection of the middle ear that can occur in individuals of all ages. Diagnosis typically involves analyzing images taken with an otoscope by specialized physicians, which relies heavily on medical experience to expedite the process. This research introduces computer vision technology to assist in the preliminary diagnosis, aiding expert decision-making. By utilizing deep learning techniques and convolutional neural networks, specifically the YOLOv8 and Inception v3 architectures, the study aims to classify the disease and its five characteristics used by physicians: color, transparency, fluid, retraction, and perforation. Additionally, image segmentation and classification methods were employed to analyze and predict the types of Otitis Media, which are categorized into four types: Otitis Media with Effusion, Acute Otitis Media with Effusion, Perforation, and Normal. Experimental results indicate that the classification model performs moderately well in directly classifying Otitis Media, with an accuracy of 65.7%, a recall of 65.7%, and a precision of 67.6%. Moreover, the model provides the best results for classifying the perforation characteristic, with an accuracy of 91.8%, a recall of 91.8%, and a precision of 92.1%. In contrast, the classification model that incorporates image segmentation techniques achieved the best overall performance, with an mAP50-95 of 79.63%, a recall of 100%, and a precision of 99.8%. However, this model has not yet been tested for classifying the different types of Otitis Media.

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 report is part of applying the knowledge gained from studying machine learning models and methods for developing a predictive model to identify customers likely to cancel their credit card services with a bank. The project was carried out during an internship at a financial institution, where the creator developed a model to predict customers likely to churn from their credit card services using real customer data through the organization's system. The focus was on building a model that can accurately predict customer churn by selecting features that are appropriate for the prediction model and the unique characteristics of the credit card industry data to ensure the highest possible accuracy and efficiency. This report also covers the integration of the model into the development of a website, which allows related departments to conveniently use the prediction model. Users can upload data for prediction and receive model results instantly. In addition, a dashboard has been created to present insights from the model's predictions, such as identifying high-risk customers likely to cancel services, as well as other important analytical information for strategic decision-making. This will help support more efficient marketing planning and customer retention efforts within the organization.

Bacteriocins are microbial peptides that demonstrate potency against pathogens. This study evaluated the inhibitory effects on pathogens and characterized the bacteriogenomic profile of strain TKP1-5, isolated from the feces of Anas platyrhynchos domesticus. Strain TKP1-5 was characterized using phenotypic traits, 16S rRNA sequencing, and Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS). It exhibited growth in the presence of 2-6% NaCl, temperatures of 25-45°C, and pH levels ranging from 3 to 9. Based on ANIb, ANIm, and dDDH values, strain TKP1-5 was identified as Lactococcus lactis. Whole genome analysis revealed that strain TKP1-5 harbors the Nisin Z peptide gene cluster with a bit-score of 114.775. The antimicrobial spectrum of bacteriocin TKP1-5 showed inhibitory effects against pathogenic bacteria including Pediococcus pentosaceus JCM5885, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, Enterococcus faecalis JCM 5803T, Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 13311ᵀ, Aeromonas hydrophila B1 AhB1, Streptococcus agalactiae 1611 and Streptococcus cowan I. Genomic analysis confirmed L. lactis TKP1-5 as a non-human pathogen without antibiotic resistance genes or plasmids. Furthermore, L. lactis TKP1-5 contains potential genes associated with various probiotic properties and health benefits. This suggests that L. lactis TKP1-5, with its antibacterial activity and probiotic potential, could be a promising candidate for further research and application in the food industry.

This project aims to design and develop an eye-tracking system to facilitate communication for paralyzed immobile patients. The system is designed to enable patients to convey their needs to caregivers or family members by detecting and tracking eye movements using the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 device. This approach serves as an alternative communication method, replacing the physical movement or speech of paralyzed patients. The system effectively detects and tracks eye movements at a distance of 55 to 85 centimeters and is designed for installation on a computer to ensure ease of use. The program interface consists of three main sections: (1) a set of emotions, (2) a set of needs, and (3) a set of additional needs. It supports input from a virtual keyboard in both Thai and English and allows users to specify additional needs through eye-tracking-enabled typing. Furthermore, the system can generate synthetic speech for text that is difficult to pronounce aloud, send notification messages via the Line application, and store usage data in a database presented in a dashboard format. System testing revealed that the optimal detection distance ranges from 65 to 75 centimeters, as this range yields an error rate of no more than 1 percent. The system accurately responds to eye movements for communication through sound within 3 seconds when interacting with various function buttons. This eye-tracking system effectively enables paralyzed immobile patients to communicate their emotions and needs, facilitating better understanding and interaction between patients and their caregivers or family members.
