A Semantic Clustering Framework for Discovering Latent Offense Patterns: A Case Study of Thai Police Records

Crime offense descriptions are often recorded as unstructured text, making large-scale analysis and categorization difficult. This study proposes a semantic clustering framework for Thai crime offense descriptions using sentence embeddings, dimensionality reduction, and unsupervi...

Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Against Pneumonia and COPD Exacerbations Among Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Thailand: A National Test-Negative Design Study, 2013–2024

ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Influenza infection is a major trigger of pneumonia and acute exacerbations among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, national laboratory-confirmed evidence on influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) in this high-risk p...

Sustainable gamma radiation–assisted synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles on acrylic fabric for durable antibacterial and UV-protective performance

This study demonstrates the successful synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on acrylic (PAN) fabrics via gamma radiation. PAN fabrics were padded with an alkaline zinc nitrate solution of 0.1 and 0.2 M, before treatment with 2% w/v of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Gamma r...

Sacralizing, Materializing, Normalizing China: Monarchy, Merchants, and Media in Contemporary Thailand

Thailand’s relations with China have expanded in recent decades through diplomacy, cultural exchange, and economic integration. Scholars have explained such expansion through economic interdependence and geopolitical alignment. This article suggests that the durability of Thailan...

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Classic and 11-Oxygenated Androgens in Men

BACKGROUND: Androgen-dependent prostate pathology, including prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia, differs in prevalence and phenotype across races/ethnicities. Adrenal-derived 11-oxygenated C19 steroids (11-oxyandrogens) are relevant to several androgen-dependent pat...

Mucuna pruriens var. pruriens Ethanolic Seed Extract Enhances Erectile Function-Related Mechanisms: Integrated In Vitro and In Vivo Evidence

Mucuna pruriens (Linn.) DC. var. pruriens is used as a traditional medication to enhance male sexual function, yet integrated evidence linking vascular-cell mechanisms to in vivo efficacy and safety of a standardized extract remains limited. This study evaluated the ethanolic see...

Laboratory Concordance and Prognostic Impact of 10‐Color Flow Cytometry and Next‐Generation Sequencing‐Based Immunoglobulin Gene Assay for Measurable Residual Disease Monitoring in Adult B‐Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Multicenter Study From Thai Acute Leukemia Working Group ( TALWG )

ABSTRACT Aims Measurable residual disease (MRD) is a key prognostic marker for patient survival. This study evaluated concordance between 10‐color flow cytometry and next‐generation sequencing (NGS)–based immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene assays for MRD detection and to asses...

Reducing loneliness and enhancing well-being among gender and sexually diverse late middle-aged and older adults: An evidence-informed group intervention

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to design and conduct an exploratory evaluation of an evidence-informed workshop series to promote the holistic well-being of late middle-aged and older adults with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions, and sex characteri...

Advanced functional biochar-based hybrid nanocomposites for electrochemical sensing platforms in environmental monitoring

Biochar (BC), a stable, carbon-rich material produced by heating biomass, is increasingly used in electrochemical sensing, particularly in hybrid nanocomposite forms, because hybridization can improve electrical conductivity, catalytic activity, surface area, and interfacial char...

Rural community revitalization through disaster tourism in Japan

The Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (GEJET) in 2011 precipitated a profound socio-economic crisis in the Tohoku region, exacerbating pre-existing depopulation and aging trends. In response, the Japanese government’s “New Tohoku” initiative has prioritized rural community...
