The sustainability paradox in urban food tourism: dissonance, control, and moral disengagement among Gen Z

Urban food tourism intersects with sustainability agendas, yet informal street-food ecosystems often lack visible environmental practices, creating governance and behavior-formation challenges for pro-sustainability cohorts such as Generation Z (Gen Z). This study examines how un...

Synergistic effects of sustainable SiO₂ nanoparticle reinforcement and Sr modification on the microstructure, mechanical performance, and tribological behavior of ADC12 hybrid composites

This study developed a sustainable ADC12 hybrid composite reinforced with SiO₂ nanoparticles and modified with Sr to improve its mechanical and tribological performance. The SiO₂ reinforcement, derived from silica-rich agricultural and industrial waste, provides an environmentall...

Discovery of Bis-ThioureaDerivatives as Human DNATopoisomerase IIα Inhibitors with Potent Anticancer Effects

Abstract DNA topoisomerase IIα (Topo IIα) is essential for maintaining genomic stability during DNA replication and mitosis and is highly expressed in cancer cells, making it a promising target for anticancer therapy. In this study, bis-thiourea derivatives were investigated for...

Sustainable Synthesisof Diamide Solvents from SuccinicAnhydride under Microwave Conditions for the Production of Graphenevia Liquid-Phase Exfoliation

Abstract Liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) is a viable method for the large-scale production of two-dimensional (2D) graphene; however, toxic solvents must be replaced. The microwave synthesis of sustainable succindiamide solvents, namely N,N′-diethyl-N,N′-dibutylsuccindiamide (EBSA...

Effects of Molasses-Based Liquid Feeds Containing Conventional Urea or Commercial Fat-Coated Urea Product on In Vitro Rumen Fermentation, Gas Kinetics, and Substrate Degradability

This study evaluated molasses-based liquid feeds containing conventional urea or a commercial fat-coated urea product marketed as slow-release urea (SRU). The effects on in vitro gas-production kinetics, rumen fermentation, and substrate degradability were examined. Treatments fo...

Drama-induced tourism: From the GELBOYS series to travel inspiration

This study investigates the influence of the Thai Boys’ Love series on travel inspiration. A quantitative approach was employed, using survey data collected from viewers of the series, and the data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling. Findings indicate that media ex...

Effects of Fermented Fish Residue-Derived Liquid Organic Fertilizer on Soil Chemical Properties, Nutrient Use Efficiency, and Lettuce Growth in Tropical Sandy Soil

Fermented fish residue (FFR) is a byproduct generated from the fermented fish industry and presents a significant opportunity for waste valorization into liquid organic fertilizer (OF). This study aimed to determine the chemical properties of FFR and its derived OF, along with th...

Spatiotemporal Agricultural Drought Dynamics in the Chi River Basin, Thailand: A Google Earth Engine-Based Multi-Criteria Assessment

Agricultural drought threatens rainfed agriculture in northeast Thailand, where variable monsoon rainfall, limited irrigation access, and extensive cropland increase vulnerability. This study developed a Google Earth Engine-based Agricultural Drought Risk Index (ADRI) for the Chi...

Influence of Extraction Conditions on Yield, PhysicochemicalCharacteristics, and Degree of Deacetylation of Chitosan Derived fromBlack Soldier Fly Cocoons

Abstract Black soldier fly (BSF) cocoons are a chitin-rich byproduct and a sustainable chitosan source. This study evaluated eight extraction protocols varying alkali type (sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH)), concentration, temperature, and duration, followed b...

Corn Stover-DerivedLewis Acid Carbon Catalyst forEfficient Hantzsch Synthesis of 1,4-Dihydropyridines

Abstract The development of sustainable heterogeneous catalysts from renewable biomass is an important strategy for advancing green organic synthesis. In this work, a series of Lewis acid carbon catalysts were prepared from corn stover via AlCl3-assisted activation and thermal ca...

Understanding zoonotic spillover interfaces for the design of a One Health education intervention: a qualitative baseline study from rural Thailand

Abstract Background Prevention of zoonotic spillover requires an understanding of how human, animal, and environmental interactions shape risk in everyday life. Efforts have focused largely on surveillance and response rather than on primary prevention informed by lived experienc...

Landscape of industry-sponsored oncology trials across the Thai Society of Clinical Oncology (TSCO): a 12-year multicenter analysis

Cancer remains a major global health challenge and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Thailand. Industry-sponsored oncology trials (ISOTs) provide critical access to innovative therapies, including targeted agents, immunotherapies (IO), and antibody–drug conjugates...
