Developing intercultural music literacy through world music aesthetics in higher education

This quasi-experimental study investigated the effectiveness of a World Music Aesthetics course designed to develop intercultural music literacy through an aesthetic learning approach and a global–local dual-axis framework. Developed using the ADDIE model, the 16-week course comp...

Integrated Strategy for Sustainable Outdoor Photo-Fermentative Biohydrogen Production: Sequential Optimization, Repeated-Batch Operation, Modular Bioreactor Simulation, and Biomass Valorization

This study developed an integrated strategy for outdoor photo-fermentative biohydrogen production by Rhodopseudomonas pentothenatexigens KKU-SN1/1 through low-cost medium optimization, repeated-batch operation, modular bioreactor simulation, and biomass valorization. A sequential...

A New Species of Curcuma subgen. Ecomatae (Zingiberaceae) from Southwestern Thailand: Morphological Delimitation and Phenetic Evidence

Curcuma subgen. Ecomatae comprises several morphologically similar taxa whose delimitation requires careful evaluation of character combinations and intraspecific variation. Botanical surveys across Southwestern Thailand revealed six geographically separated populations of an uni...

Terminal Compatibility and Admissibility of a Meridional Caputo Flow Rule in Transformed-Stress Clay Plasticity

A clay flow rule governs contraction or dilation during plastic shearing. We audit a terminal-directed scalar Caputo integral on a teardrop meridian under specified elasticity and hardening. Its zero coincides with the non-associated base-model terminal only if Ω = Ψ. Normally co...

Factors associated with health-promoting lifestyles among community-dwelling older adults in Zigong, China: a cross-sectional study

[Purpose] The aging population in China faces significant challenges in maintaining health-promoting lifestyles, with disparities between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy. In this study, we aimed to assess health-promoting lifestyles and identify factors associated wit...

PEG Middle-Block Molecular Weight as a Quantitative Design Variable for Stereocomplex Formation Efficiency in High-Molecular-Weight PLLA–PEG–PLLA/PDLA Blends

Abstract Achieving complete stereocomplex (SC) formation in high-molecular-weight PLLA/PDLA blends by injection molding remains a challenge because the rapid mold-cooling rate suppresses the slow enantiomeric chain-recognition process. Here, we demonstrate that the PEG middle-blo...

Asymmetric Vegetation Responses to Flood Exposure in the Chi River Basin: A Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing and Machine Learning Investigation

Flooding and drought alternate in many tropical floodplains, but how vegetation responds to both hazards over multiple years remains poorly quantified. We examined vegetation–flood associations in the Chi River Basin, Northeast Thailand, drawing on Sentinel-2 imagery from 2020, 2...

Neuroprotective Effects of Pinostrobin in a Rat Model of Kainic Acid-Induced Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a serious neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures and neuronal loss. Prolonged seizure activity is associated with changes in apoptosis-related proteins, including Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and caspase-3, as well as alterations in microglial a...

Multiscale model of advanced recording system for enhancement of HAMR performance by FePt-based ECC media

Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) is a novel high-density magnetic recording technology that leverages thermal assistance during the writing process to achieve ultrahigh areal densities beyond 4 Tb/in². Optimizing both the writing process and the magnetic medium properties...

Comprehensive techno-economic and environmental assessment of sawdust–polypropylene co-pyrolysis adsorbent for Cu²⁺ adsorption at laboratory scale

Co-pyrolysis of sawdust and waste polypropylene represents an avenue for valorizing residual lignocellulosic biomass and non-recyclable plastic products. This investigation focuses on the adsorption of Cu 2+ ion by SPB-500, biochar prepared at a temperature of 500 °C. Factors con...

Anti-Obesity Effects of Artocarpus integer Stem Bark Extract via Appetite and Lipid Metabolism Modulation in Obese Rats

Obesity is a multifactorial metabolic disorder characterized by dysregulated energy homeostasis, impaired lipid metabolism, and altered hypothalamic appetite signaling. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-obesity effects and underlying mechanisms of a 95% ethanol extract of Art...

Beyond manufacturing-led growth: institutional quality and regime-dependent structural transformation

Why do economies that undertake broadly similar industrial and institutional reforms follow markedly different growth trajectories? This study reassesses the manufacturing-led growth hypothesis by examining whether the gains from structural transformation vary across growth regim...

Split Nitrogen Application Improves Yield and Partial Factor Productivity of Nitrogen in Rice (cv. RD49) Under Low-Fertility Sandy Loam Soil

Nitrogen (N) management is critical for improving rice productivity, but increasing N inputs may reduce N-use productivity when grain production does not increase proportionally. This study evaluated the effects of urea rate and application method on grain weight and partial fact...

Ethnobotanical knowledge of plants used for handicrafts and household practices in Yasothon Province, Thailand

Plants used for handicraft and household (HH) purposes play an important role in supporting rural livelihoods, material culture, and traditional ecological knowledge in northeastern Thailand. However, ethnobotanical information on the diversity, utilization patterns, and cultural...

Ambidextrous Green Advertising on Social Media: The Role of Green Trust in Green Purchase Intention

Despite the growing use of social media to promote green agricultural products, firms still face challenges in translating green advertising into purchase intentions. Drawing on dynamic capability theory and an ambidexterity perspective, this study examines two parallel consumer...

Nanoplate Digital PCR for Identification of α0-Thalassemia (SEA Deletion): Carrier Screening and Possible Application to Prenatal Diagnosis

The Southeast Asian deletion (--SEA), the most prevalent α0-thalassemia mutation in Southeast Asia, is a major target of regional thalassemia prevention programs. Coinheritance of α0-thalassemia with other hemoglobinopathies, particularly hemoglobin E (Hb E), complicates routine...

Bioactive Phytochemicals from Artocarpus integer Leaves Improve Bone-Related Outcomes in Ovariectomized Rats: An Integrated LC–HRMS, Network Pharmacology, and Experimental Study

Background: Osteoporosis is a multifactorial skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass, impaired bone remodeling, and an increased risk of fractures, particularly under estrogen-deficient conditions. Artocarpus integer (Thunb.) Merr. contains prenylated flavonoids and...
