Beyond Economic Benefit: How Justice, Empowerment, and Political Trust Shape Residents’ Support for Space Tourism

This study extends research explaining resident trust through cost–benefit evaluations of tourism development. In the context of space tourism development, a government-led initiative that offers residents limited participation and few direct benefits, we drew on Lefebvre’s right...

Shared and Distinct T-Cell Receptor Characteristics of CD4+ and CD8+ Drug-Specific T-Cells In Vitro Generated from Healthy Donors and Hypersensitive Patients

Abstract The initiation of T-cell-mediated drug hypersensitivity reaction requires the formation of a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-peptide-drug-T-cell receptor (TCR) complex. While specific interactions between HLA molecules and drug antigens are well-defined, the characteristic...

The results of a cooperative comic book to promote understanding of cultural differences between Buddhist and Muslim students in southern Thailand

This paper reports the results of a cooperative project to create a storybook to promote knowledge and understanding of cultural differences between Buddhist and Muslim students in the three southern border provinces of Thailand. The action research methodology incorporated four...

Micropropagation of Nymphaea pubescens: An Efficient Protocol for Tuber-Derived Tissue Culture, Shoot Multiplication, and Field Establishment

Waterlilies (Nymphaea spp.) are ecologically and ornamentally important aquatic plants, yet their micropropagation remains challenging due to endophytic contamination and the recalcitrant nature of tuber explants. This study established an efficient in vitro protocol for Nymphaea...

Beyond translation: a systems congruence framework for implementing type 2 diabetes guidelines in primary healthcare across Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia: a systematic review

Despite the availability of evidence-based clinical guidelines for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), their implementation in primary healthcare remains inconsistent across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Southeast Asia (SEA)....

Age-stratified probabilistic cancer and noncancer inhalation risks from volatile organic compounds near a major petrochemical complex in Rayong, Thailand

Abstract Background Communities residing near petrochemical complexes are chronically exposed to complex volatile organic compound (VOC) mixtures, but routine surveillance is often restricted to limited sentinel panels, which may lead to the underestimation of true health risks....

The World Psychiatric Association (WPA) Guideline on Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders Management for Low- and Middle-Income Countries

There is a pressing need to address the unique challenges of managing Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSD) in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), where mental health resources are scarce and unevenly distributed. To develop this evidence-based guideline, we conducted a sy...

Indigenous languages in Southern Thailand are increasingly affected by modernization, digital communication, and language contact, yet the relationship between kinship terminology, social organization, and linguistic sustainability among Indigenous Austroasiatic-speaking communit...

Explainable Surrogate-Based Knowledge Extraction from DEM Simulations: Cross-System Algorithm Selection and SHAP Interpretability for Granular Material Handling Optimization

Extracting transferable design knowledge from Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations remains challenging in granular material handling. We develop an explainable surrogate framework for two solar-panel-recycling subsystems: a silo discharge system (outlet width 42–111 mm; hopp...

Organization of the Digestive Tract and Localization of Protein Fibre in Electrophorus sp. (Gymnotiformes: Gymnotidae)

ABSTRACT Research into the electric eel ( Electrophorus ) has focused on its production of high‐voltage electrical discharges for predation and defence, and its divergence from other fish species in terms of molecular activities. However, the knowledge of its digestive biology re...
