Wed, 25 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The upper air observation using a radiosonde at the Northern Meteorological Center is conducted once a day, representing weather conditions over a 24-hour period. This is insufficient for analyzing weather conditions occurring within shorter time frames. The Wind profiler system can monitor weather conditions every 5 minutes, but is limited to 5 km altitude and is not publicly accessible. Therefore, this study aims to Study of upper air analysis using Wind profiler data in Chiang Mai Province. The Wind profiler system of the Thai Meteorological Department can measure meteorological data including temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and wind direction. By analyzing the upper air observation data from the Wind profiler and radiosonde to calculate atmospheric stability indices and assess atmospheric instability risks, the stability assessment of thunderstorms in Chiang Mai Province can be determined. The results show that the upper air observations from both sources can forecast thunderstorm occurrences. Consequently, this study led to the development of a stability index analysis program using the Skew-T Log P thermodynamic diagram and the trial is distributed via the website. It facilitates the use of information to support decision-making in issuing weather forecasts and warning announcements in Chiang Mai and the northern region. For example, analysis of the opportunity of thunderstorms Forecasting the trend of fog during winter Including analysis of weather trends during high concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5) in the northern region, etc., It is useful for people and agencies to collaborate to prevent dangers that may occur from severe weather and help reduce damage to people's lives and property.

Tourism plays a role and is an essential strategy used in area development that helps strengthen
the community. This study aims to analyze routes connecting the cultural sites of Korat city's old town for supporting community tourism to the learning city by network analysis (best route analysis, closest facility analysis, and service area analysis) using road network and cultural sites of the Korat old city of Korat city's old town data. The study found that the best connectivity routes linking cultural sites in Korat’s old town include four routes: (1) a Pilgrimage route to explore the architecture of Korat city's old town, (2) a city tour route of Korat city's old town, (3) a route to explore arts and culture in Korat’s old town, and (4) a route to seek blessings from sacred sites in Korat city's old town. These routes range in total distance from 3.50 to 4.62 kilometers and take approximately 8.39 to 11.08 minutes to travel time. Meanwhile, the study also identified the shortest connectivity route between TK Square and cultural sites in Korat city's old town, which ranges from 66.97 to 1,857.12 meters and takes approximately 0.16 to 4.46 minutes of traveling time. In addition, the analysis of service areas providing access to cultural sites in Korat city's old town revealed that within distances of 150, 300, and 500 meters, the coverage areas accounted for 11.04%, 33.16%, and 68.65% of the total area, respectively. In summary, the results of this research contribute to the development of Korat City's cultural sites as learning spaces capable of presenting and disseminating information accurately and efficiently to tourists. Furthermore, they create opportunities for sustainable community tourism development and strengthen the local economy in the future.

The present study aims to develop in-house simple plasma extractor for students in the department of medical technology and to evaluate effect of in-house simple plasma extractor on the supportive learning and satisfaction in a laboratory classroom of transfusion science1 of medical technology students. The participants in this study included 95 of the third year students of medical technology department, registered in the course of transfusion science1 in the first semester of academic year 2023. The research tools for data collection in this study consisted of a satisfaction assessment form regarding the development of in-house plasma extractor and a satisfaction assessment form regarding the quality of simple plasma extractor and in-house innovation for improvement of classroom learning in the students. After quality examination by the experts, the research tools were applied to collected and analyze the data. The results of this study were reported as mean and standard deviation. Moreover, the comparison of student’s satisfaction between before and after the laboratory learning was statistically analyzed by using paired sample t-test. The data exhibited that the average score in a section of simple plasma extractor quality was the high level (4.46±0.61) and the average score in a section of innovation quality to support learning was the highest level (4.64±0.54) after applying innovation of plasma extractor in the classroom. These average score also was found to more than average score of prior using plasma extractor in the classroom with significantly different level (p<0.05). Accordingly, the in-house simple plasma extractor prepared in the classroom of transfusion science1 could improve efficiently the satisfaction and learning of the students.

Kanlaya Boonlha, Sirisopa Puengchai — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Currently in Thailand is a growing interest among consumers in in electric vehicles. This study aims to forecast the number of electric vehicles in Thailand. A hybrid forecasting approach combining Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models or SARIMA-ANN model. Monthly data on electric vehicles registrations in Thailand, collected by the Department of Land Transport from January 2017 to July 2024, totaling 91 months, was used. A Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) was built using the residuals from the SARIMA model, with the number of nodes in the hidden layer varying from 1 to 20 nodes. The model performance was evaluated based on the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The study found that the SARIMA-ANN model, with a SARIMA (0,1,2)(0,0,2)₁₂ at hidden layer are 18 nodes achieved the lowest RMS. For forecasting the number of electric vehicles in Thailand from August 2023 to July 2024, the model yielded an RMSE of 3879.622.
