title: Some Aspects of Gauged Supergravity

description: We study N = 5 and N = 6 Chern-Simons gauged supergravity in three dimensions and applications thereof. The classification is determined by their gauged groups which are as follows: compact, non-compact and non-semisimple gauge groups. The gaugings are realized by the notion of embedding tensors. The manifolds of N = 5 and N = 6 theories are in the form of G/H = USp(4; k)/USp(4) USp(k) and G/H = SU(4; k)/S(U(4) U(k)), respectively. The number of independent supermultiplets is specified by k which is an even integer in N = 5 theories and an integer in N = 6. For N = 5, we restrict ourselves to k = 2; 4 cases whereas for N = 6, we confine to k = 1; 2; 3; 4 cases. For non-compact and non-semisimple cases, the consistent condition is checked unlike the compact cases which are already classified. The scalar potentials which play an important role for the further analysis of grou nd states of theories and holographic RG flows are calculated. The potentials can be achieved by parametrization of scalar manifolds. We paramatrize full manifold for some cases and for the rest we simply parametrize submanifold thereof. The parametrizations are either unitary gauge or Euler angle parametrization. Many supersymmetric AdS3 critical points are found and they are required for solving RG flows solutions interpolating between those critical points. The ratios of central charges cUV /cIR are calculated and they are in perfect agreement with the Zamolodchikov c-theorem. For non-semisimple gaugings, the gauge groups are in the form of SO(N)nTdimSO(N). We pay a special attention to the non-semisimple gaugings since they both are linked to four dimensional gauged supergravity via dimensional reduction on the orbifold S1/Z2. We found maximally supersymmetric AdS3 critical points with superconformal group Osp(5j2;R) Sp(2;R) in N = 5 non-semisimple gauging theory while a halfsupersymmetric domain wall solution is found in N = 6 non-semisimple gauging theory.

title: Super Edge-Magic Labeling of k-Uniform Hypergraphs

description: In this thesis, we generalize the concept of super edge-magic labeling in graph to the super edge-magic labeling in hypergraph. A hypergraph H = (V, E) is super edge-magic if there is a bijection ʄ : Vᴗ E→{1,2,3,…, |+ |} satisfying (i) there exists a constant Ʌ such that for all Σ ʄ(v)+ ʄ€ + Ʌ and (ii) ʄ(v) = {1,2,3,… |} . A necessary condition for a hypergraph being super edge-magic is proved. In particular, the complete -uniform hypergraph is super edge-magic if and only if kϵ{0,1} or nϵ{k,k+1}, the -uniform hyperpath(mp(k)n) is always super edge-magic, and the -uniform hypercycle(mC(k)n) is super edge-magic if and only if is odd or k≠2m.

title: Utilization of oil mill effluents as alternative substrate for biosurfactant production by Bacillus sp. GY19 and its application in crude oil contaminated soil washing

description: In order to reduce the cost of biosurfactant production, wastes from vegetable oil processes were used as alternative substrate for chitosan immobilized Bacillus sp. GY19. Palm oil mill effluent and soy molasses were interesting as alternative substrate since the production of palm oil in Thailand is rated as 3rd rank of world market and soybean oil production also plays an important role in vegetable oil production in the country. Utilization of palm oil mill effluent resulted in small amount of crude biosurfactant produced with no activity of surface active agent shown. It was probably the palm oil mill effluent contained toxic phenolic compounds that affected production activity of bacteria. Meanwhile, utilization of soy molasses gave 4.37 g/l of crude biosurfactant with good activity of surface active agent. The determination of optimal condition and concentration of soy molasses as substrate revealed that 20% (w/v) of soy molasses gave the highest crude biosurfactant produced with productivity rate about 0.0365 g/l/h. Moreover, the produced biosurfactant could reduce the surface tension of medium from 64 to less than 40 mN/m and caused emulsification against diesel oil over 65%. Foam fractionation and freeze-dried biosurfactant were set to increase the concentration of biosurfactant above ACMC. The result of crude oil contaminated soil washing found that the biosurfactant from freeze-dried lyophilized with 8.43 g/l could wash crude oil out from the silt loam soil about 36.33 mg crude oil/g soil, comparable to 0.5 g/l of SDS and Tween 80. So, Bacillus sp. GY19 could utilize soy molasses as alternative substrate with good surface active agent produced.

title: Energy Management System of Hybrid Power Generation with Battery Energy Storage for Application to Smart Grid in Mae Hong Son

description: This research proposes a dispatch strategy to Mae Hong Son (MHS) power system which is classified in 2 modes of operation: the normal mode and islanding mode. In this research, we design dispatch strategy of energy management system (EMS) using various renewable sources within MHS. In normal mode operation, we model the power system components in linear model and formulate EMS as linear program to solve for the optimal dispatch. Multi-objective function approach aims to minimize Total Operational Cost (TOC) and Total CO2 Emission (TCOE). In addition, we add Battery Energy Storage (BES) to the power generation and compare the results of operation to that of existing system as of 2014. In islanding mode, we go through various possibilities such as fault at day/night time, with/without BES. We formulate the dispatch strategy after fault subjected to constraints on hybrid power generation, battery state of charge, and power balance principle along with the power system condition. The results show the dispatch profiles of MHS power system based on the optimal operation.

title: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A ROBOTIC FINGER EXOSKELETON FOR REHABILITATION

description: Current ROM (range of motion) rehabilitation is done by a therapist helping each patient individually, which can be done more effectively and efficiently by robotic devices. The goal of this work is to design and develop a robotic finger exoskeleton system as a CPM device for finger ROM rehabilitation. The research introduces a novel mechanism for finger exoskeleton design. The main concepts of the proposed design are having no interference and no translational forces on phalanges. The finger exoskeleton consists of 3 identical joint mechanisms which, for each, adopt a six-bar RCM as an equivalent revolute joint incorporating with 2 prismatic joints to form a close-loop mechanism with one anatomical joint. Cable and hose, known as Bowden cable transmission, is adopted to reduce burden from weight of driving modules. The prototype is driven by 3 motors moving flexion/extension of each joint individually, i.e. an MCP (metacarpophalangeal) joint, a PIP (proximal interphalangeal) joint and a DIP (distal interphalangeal) joint. The mechanism concept is preliminarily evaluated by simulation with the real anatomical joint trajectory. The simulation result shows that the mechanism can accommodate 2 adjacent phalanges at all configurations. The requirement based evaluation and the subjective test show that the device can move a subject’s finger with quite natural and unimpeded motion along the predefined path. The device is successfully tested with 14 healthy subjects.

title: KNOWLEDGE REGARDING AN ACCESS TO UNIVERSAL COVERAGE SCHEME AMONG THE ELDERLY IN AMPHOE MUANG RATCHABURI PROVINCE THAILAND

description: Knowledge regarding an access to universal coverage scheme (UCS) among the elderly in Amphoe Muang, Ratchaburi Province, Thailand, was the cross-sectional study conducted during April – June 2015 in order to assess the level of knowledge regarding an access to universal coverage scheme. There were 440 respondents (178 males and 262 females) who were the elderly aged 60 years and over. Simple random sampling technique was used from all elderly with the universal coverage scheme. Face-to-face interview was used. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of One-Way ANOVA were employed to find the association among the variables. The result indicated that the elderly were 60-92 years old with 61.8% in the age bracket of 60-69 years old. When assessed the level of knowledge, it was on the moderate and high levels (55.7%) with the average mean of 12.46. It was also found that occupation (p-value 0.020), highest level of education obtained (p-value 0.000), and numbers of household members (p-value 0.010) were statistically significant with the level of knowledge at the level of p value &lt; 0.05. From Post-hoc test, the result illustrated that agriculture had higher level of knowledge than employees and business owners or traders; those with primary school education had higher level of knowledge than those with no education; the level of knowledge was not different among those with higher education than primary school (secondary school; vocational school; higher vocational school; bachelor’s degree). For the numbers of household member, the result revealed that those who stayed alone (one household member) had higher level of knowledge than those from large household (more than five household members). It was concluded that providing knowledge; increasing awareness of the UCS right; having mutual activities between the elderly and their care-takes; as well as having campaigns for health promotion regarding various UCS rights, will heighten the quality of the elderly’s life as Thailand is approaching aging society, to become age-friendliness, and to improve the efficiency of the UCS As for future studies, the qualitative and quantitative studies on the rights of UCS to cover other provinces and other regions were recommended.

title: THE PREVALENCE OF SHISHA AND ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE SMOKING AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN JAKARTA, INDONESIA

description: Shisha and electronic cigarette smoking become new global epidemic. Youth were the most vulnerable group to be attracted using this product. The study aims to find out prevalence and significant predictors of shisha electronic cigarette smoking among high school students in Jakarta Indonesia. The study design was cross-sectional with multistage cluster random sampling. A total of 1,318 students aged 15-19 from 14 schools (suburban: 8 and downtown: 6) participated. The prevalence of shisha smoking were 20.6% in lifetime, 15.5% in past year, and 5.2% in current. For electronic cigarette, the prevalence of lifetime, past year, and current smoker reached to 14.6%, 12.5%, and 3.4% respectively. About 10.5% of respondents ever tried both of shisha and electronic cigarette, 7.6% used in past year, and 1.1% in past 30 days. Multiple logistic regression found gender, school location, father education, smoking status of father and close friends, lifetime cigarette smoking, past year cigarette smoking, and availability were predictors for electronic cigarette and shisha use. Furthermore, lifetime cigarette smoking was the strongest predictor which were 4 times more likely to tried shisha (AOR: 4.251 95% CI: 2.683-6.734) and electronic cigarette (AOR: 4.496, 95% CI: 2.52-8.022) than nonsmoker. The prevalence of shisha and electronic cigarette smoking was considerably high in this study. Thus, health promotion program with emphasize to prevent shisha and electronic cigarette smoking were urgently needed.

title: Development production of amino acid and organic acid from lignocellulosic materials by Corynebacterium sp. isolated from Thailand

description: The samples were collected from buffalo dung in Suphanburi province (SP-I, SP-II), soil sample in Suphanburi province (SP-III) and cow dung from Surin province (SR-I, SRII), Thailand. Thirty-three isolates with ability amino acid and thirty-two isolates with ability succinic acid were obtained. They were non-spore-forming, gram-positive or negative rod. The morphological characteristics colonies appearing on the screening agar plate after 24 h of incubation were circular, smooth and gray with 1–2 mm in diameter. Three of those isolates have a potential for succinic acid production (isolate SP-II/A1, SP-II/A3 and SP-II/A4). Corynebacterium glutamicum DSM20300 was used as a representative for investigating growth and succinic acid production from agriculture biomass. The use of nitrogen source, combination of 10 g/l of peptone and 10 g/l of yeast extract, gave the highest amount of cell growth of 9.62 g/l. Using glucose as a carbon source exhibited better cell growth than using monosugar from SSS hydrolysate. A maximum cell growth of 14.34 g/l was obtained with 10 g/l of glucose. In case using SSS hydrolyzate as a carbon source, longer lag phase was found and the highest amount of cell growth of 9.82 g/l was obtained.

title: Electrically controlled release of drugs from alginate hydrogels for transdermal drug delivery application

description: A drug-loaded conductive polymer/hydrogel blend, benzoic acid-loaded poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene/alginate (BA-loaded PEDOT/Alg) hydrogel, was used as a carrier/matrix for an electrical stimuli transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS). The effects of crosslinking ratio, PEDOT particle size, and electric field strength on the release mechanism and the diffusion coefficient (D) of BA were examined by using a modified Franz-diffusion cell. The diffusion scaling exponent value of BA is close to 0.5 which refers to the diffusion controlled mechanism, or the Fickian diffusion as the BA release mechanism. The D increased when there was a decrease in the crosslinking ratio due to the mesh size-hindering effect. When increasing electric field strength, the D of BA-loaded PEDOT/Alg hydrogel increased because the cathode-BA electrorepulsion, electro-induced alginate expansion, and PEDOT electro-neutralization simultaneously occurred. The highest D belonged to a blend with the smallest PEDOT particle and highest electrical conductivity. The D of BA was a function of the matrix mesh size except when drug size/mesh size was lower than 2.38x10³, where D of BA became mesh size independent as the matrix mesh size was extremely large. Thus, the fabricated conductive polymer hydrogel blends have a great potential to be used in TDDS under electrical stimulation.

title: Wissenschaftliche rezensionen im deutschen und im thai: eine kontrastive textlinguistische untersuchung

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht kontrastiv die Textsorte „wissenschaftliche Rezension“ im Deutschen und im Thai. Die Untersuchung setzt sich zum Ziel, strukturelle Eigenschaften und sprachliche Merkmale der wissenschaftlichen Rezension zu ermitteln. Besondere Schwerpunkte liegen auf der Art und Weise, wie kritische Aussagen ausgedrückt werden, sowie auf interpersonalen Sprachmitteln, nämlich wie auf den Buchautor, auf den Leser und auf den Rezensenten selbst Bezug genommen wird. Das Korpus der Untersuchung setzt sich aus jeweils 15 Textbelegen aus geisteswissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften im Deutschen und im Thai zusammen. Aus der Untersuchung geht hervor, dass die deutschen und thailändischen wissenschaftlichen Rezensionen Gemeinsamkeiten im Hinblick auf den Textaufbau aufweisen. Die meisten Textbelege in den beiden Korpora sind nach einem ähnlichen Textbauplan wie allgemeine Aufsätze gegliedert, und zwar in Einleitung, Hauptteil und Schlussteil. Allerdings ist bei manchen thailändischen Rezensionstexten ebenfalls ein separater Teiltext für die Bewertung zu finden. Bezüglich der Sprachmittel zur Kritikäußerung präferieren die deutschen sowie die thailändischen Rezensenten kritikabmildernde Sprachmittel gegenüber kritikintensivierenden Sprachmitteln. Vorgefunden werden sowohl übergreifende Sprachmittel wie z. B. Modalverben und Konzessivsätze, welche die „Lichtseiten“ vor den „Schattenseiten“ des Werkes herausstellen. Hinzu kommen sprachspezifische Mittel, z. B. Passivkonstruktionen im Deutschen und Subjektellipsen im Thai. Hinsichtlich der interpersonalen Sprachmittel ist ein Unterschied zwischen den beiden Sprachen zu erkennen: Die deutschen Rezensenten bevorzugen unpersönliche Konstruktionen zum Bezug auf die Kommunikationsteilnehmer im Kontext des Rezensierens, z. B. durch das Passiv. Hingegen verwenden die thailändischen Rezensenten eher persönliche Sprachmittel, beispielsweise die Begriffe Autor, Leser und Rezensent.
