In the era where information technology plays a significant role in various fields, the use of website to support education has become essential. This case study focuses on the development of a website for the Object Oriented Programming (OOP) course at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) to facilitate instructors and teaching assistants in grading, assessing student work, and tracking student progress. The developed system helps reduce grading errors, ensures accurate and timely assessments, and enables efficient monitoring of students' academic performance. Additionally, the platform allows students to schedule project submissions and track their grades, while providing statistical data on student performance. This development aims to modernize and enhance the quality of teaching and learning.

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.

This research aims to optimize the production process of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in fermented pineapple juice using probiotics and acetic acid bacteria (AAB), which are microorganisms with the potential to enhance GABA levels. This process has been developed to improve the nutritional value of fermented pineapple juice and to increase the economic value of Thai pineapples, which have long suffered from low market prices. This study focuses on determining the optimal conditions for GABA production by examining factors such as sugar content, pH levels, fermentation duration, and L-glutamate concentration, as well as the co-cultivation of probiotics and acetic acid bacteria. The experiments are conducted using controlled fermentation techniques, and the bioactive components of the fermented juice are analyzed with advanced instruments such as HPLC and GC-MS. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to the development of formulations and production processes for a high-GABA pineapple-based functional beverage. This product could offer health benefits such as stress reduction, cognitive function enhancement, and relaxation while also strengthening the potential of Thailand’s fermented food and beverage industry.
