Zingiber baumii Chatan & Promprom: A New Species of Zingiberaceae From Thailand.

Zingiber baumii Chatan & Promprom, a new species from the Zingiberaceae family, is described from Sakon Nakhon Province in northeastern Thailand. This species was identified during field expeditions conducted between 2018 and 2024 in Phu Pha Yol National Park. The morphological characteristics of Z. baumii, such as red or pinkish-red leaf sheaths, leaf blades (1.5-) 2.0-3.0 cm wide, pink petioles, and bright yellow corolla with a red patch, distinguish it from closely related species such as Z. isanense Triboun & K. Larsen. Zingiber baumii grows in slightly shaded dry dipterocarp forests at elevations of 300-380 m. The preliminary conservation assessment indicates that this species should be classified as Endangered (EN) according to IUCN criteria due to its limited distribution and small population size. Detailed morphological comparisons with related species are provided, along with illustrations and habitat descriptions.

Spirogyra spp. is widely distributed in freshwater habitats and is included in the category of natural resources whose significance and advantages have been researched. In this study, 6 samples of Spirogyra spp. were collected: Spirogyra ellipsospora Transeua from Bueng Kan province, Spirogyra sp.1 from Sakon Nakhon Province and S. neglecta (Hassall) Kützing, S. ellipsospora Transeua, Spirogyra sp.2, and Spirogyra sp.3 from Nakhon Phanom province. The highest value of total phenolic compound was measured at 18.53±0.23 mg GAE/mg in Spirogyra sp. 2. The evaluation of antimicrobial activity of algal extracts against fungal Candida sp. and bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was performed by using the disk diffusion method along with determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) and minimum bacterial concentration (MBC). The result of disk diffusion and MIC determination showed the efficiency of all extract samples against all tested strains at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. The most effective algal extract against Candida sp. showed with the MFC’s ranged from 10 to 20 mg/mL, whereas MBC of all extracts destroyed the two tested bacterial strains ranged from 10 to 20 mg/mL within 24 hours and up to 30 mg/mL after 48 hours. The results of this study support that Spirogyra spp. contains bioactive compounds that are the basis for further application in cosmeceuticals.

Effect of Seed Size on Growth, Yield and Seed Quality of Jack Bean (Canavalia ensiformis (L.))

This research aimed to investigate the effect of seed size on growth, yield and seed quality of Jack beans cultivated in field conditions. The experiment was conducted at Faculty of Natural Resources and Agro-Industry, Kasetsart University Chalermphrakiat Sakonnakhon Province Campus. The experimental design was Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications and 3 treatments, and consisted of 3 different seed sizes of Jack bean (small, medium and large). The results indicated that seed size had no significant effect on growth (plant height, leaf number and weight of canopy). However, statistically significant differences (P<0.05) were found in fresh and dry biomass yields, whereas large seed size had the highest biomass yield without significant difference from seed yield. The 3 sizes of jack bean gave an average seed yield of 402.07 kg/rai. In term of seed quality, it was found that all 3 sizes of jack beans seed had no significant effect on physical quality and physiological quality in both standard germinations, germination index and a number of days used for germination. However, seed sizes had a significant effect on seedling biomass weight. The large seed had the highest weight (0.62 g/plant). Therefore, this study concluded that the three seed sizes (small, medium, and large) did not affect the growth, yield and seed quality of jack beans although the large size seed had the highest biomass yield.

Fermentation Kinetic and Alpha-Amylase Inhibition Studies of Mao Wine Fermented by Three Commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yeasts

Mao wine is produced from mao (Antidesma thwaitesianum) and is a local beverage promoting Sakon Nakhon province, Thailand. Understanding the fermentation process is necessary in order to enhance the quality of mao wine products. This study aims to examine the kinetics of mao wine fermentation using 3 commercial types of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts, namely Lalvin 71B, Lalvin RC212 and Lalvin K1-V1116, with an initial pH of 3.4, a sweetness of 22 % Brix and a yeast concentration of 0.4 g L–1 in controlled conditions at 25 °C for 10 days. The results revealed that the kinetic models, including logistic, Luedeking-Piret and modified Luedeking-Piret equations, are appropriate for analyzing the kinetics of yeast growth, alcohol production and reducing sugar, respectively. Lalvin K1-V1116 yeast yielded the highest capacity for alcohol production (~113 g L–1), sugar-to-alcohol conversion (45 % conversion), and product efficiency (88 %), indicating its suitability for mao wine production. Furthermore, the investigation of the alpha-amylase inhibitory activity revealed that the IC50 values of mao wine samples were 2.88 - 4.78 mg mL–1, which were roughly 410 - 680 times greater than those of acarbose. These findings revealed the low efficacy of mao wine in inhibiting alpha-amylase activity. Nevertheless, a decrease in the level of inhibition may result in a decreased likelihood of side effects or undesirable reactions. This treatment is especially beneficial for people who have medication sensitivities. Additional research is required in order to substantiate its applicability in the management of type 2 diabetes. HIGHLIGHTS Mao wines were produced by 3 commercial cerevisiae yeast strains Lalvin K1-V1116 yeast exhibits the highest capacity in converting sugar to alcohol Lalvin K1-V1116 is the most suitable yeast for making mao wine The chosen kinetic models are appropriate for kinetic studies of fermentation process The efficacy of Mao wine in inhibiting the activity of alpha-amylase is quite low GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Relationship Between Pesticide Exposure Factors and Health Symptoms Among Chili Farmers in Northeast Thailand.

The unsafe use of pesticides in agriculture represents a major hazard to human health. This study was conducted to investigate the association between pesticide exposure and health symptoms among chili farmers in northeast Thailand. This cross-sectional analytic study included 141 chili farmers in Sakon Nakhon Province, in northeast Thailand. Data regarding health symptoms were gathered using a self-report questionnaire. A medical technician tested blood cholinesterase activity using an erythrocyte method, and an occupational medicine specialist at Ramathibodi Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand reviewed the results. Associations between personal characteristics, pesticide exposure factors, and health symptoms were analyzed using multiple logistic regression. Of the 141 chili farmers studied, 66.7% experienced pesticide poisoning, as indicated by below-normal cholinesterase levels. Fatigue was the most frequently reported symptom associated with pesticide exposure, affecting 37.6% of participants. This was followed by nausea and vomiting (31.9%), dizziness (14.9%), and dry throat (14.9%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that several factors were significantly associated with adverse symptoms: amount of work experience, volume of pesticides used, use of chemical pesticides, use of leaking containers during spraying, direct pesticide exposure while working, contact with pesticide-soaked clothing, consumption of food and drinks in the fields, and blood cholinesterase level indicating risk. This study suggests potential health risks for chili farmers stemming from exposure to and contamination by pesticides used in agricultural practices. To mitigate these risks, it is essential to supply personal protective equipment and to implement educational programs aimed at improving protective behaviors among farmers.

Optimum reservoir operation of a networking reservoirs system using conditional atom search optimization and a conditional genetic algorithm

This study aimed to apply conditional atom search optimization (CASO) for searching optimum rule curves in a networking reservoirs system with a reservoir simulation model. The networking reservoirs system consisted of 5 reservoirs located in Sakon Nakhon Province, Thailand. The efficiency of the new optimum rule curves was determined by comparison of operating systems between a single reservoir and a networking reservoirs system. The results displayed circumstances of scarcity and excess of water. Where the circumstances of scarcity are frequency and duration. Whilst, excesses of water are average water and the highest water. In addition, the efficiency of searching for optimum rule curves was compared between conditional genetic algorithm (CGA) and CASO techniques. The new optimum rule curves from the networking reservoirs system had an average excess water of 43.828 MCM/year. This average excess water was less than that found for optimum curves from the single system in which the average excess of water was 45.602 MCM/year. CASO was more efficient in converging optimum rule curve solutions faster than CGA by 40.00%. In conclusion, the CASO can be used to search for optimum networking reservoirs rule curve solutions effectively. For the networking reservoirs system derived water from the upstream reservoirs, an analysis was performed of the downstream reservoir. The results showed that the optimum rule curves using CASO operated as a networking reservoirs system provided higher efficiency than a single reservoir system. In addition, they reduced the amount of time that water exceeded the river capacity at a downstream weir by one month compared with the original period of two months.

Extracting Optimal Operation Rule Curves of Multi-Reservoir System Using Atom Search Optimization, Genetic Programming and Wind Driven Optimization

This research aims to apply optimization techniques using atom search optimization (ASO), genetic programming (GP), and wind-driven optimization (WDO) with a reservoir simulation model for searching optimal rule curves of a multi-reservoir system, using the objective function with the minimum average quantity of release excess water. The multi-reservoir system consisted of five reservoirs managed by a single reservoir that caused severe problems in Sakon Nakhon province, Thailand, which was hit by floods in 2017. These included Huai Nam Bo Reservoir, the Upper Huai Sai-1 Reservoir, the Upper Huai Sai-2 Reservoir, the Upper Huai Sai-3 Reservoir, and the Huai Sai Khamin Reservoir. In this study, the monthly reservoir rule curves, the average monthly inflow to the reservoirs during 2005–2020, the water demand of the reservoirs, hydrological data, and physical data of the reservoirs were considered. In addition, the performance of the newly obtained rule curves was evaluated by comparing the operation with a single reservoir and the operation with a multi-reservoir network. The results showed situations of water shortage and water in terms of frequency, duration, average water, and maximum water. The newly obtained rule curves from the multi-reservoir system case showed an average water excess of 43.722 MCM/year, which was less than the optimal curves from the single reservoir case, where the average water excess was 45.562 MCM/year. An analysis of the downstream reservoir of the multi-reservoir system, which diverts water from the upstream reservoirs, was performed. The results showed that the new optimal rule curves of ASO, GP, and WDO operated as a multi-reservoir system performed better than when operated as a single reservoir. Therefore, this research is suitable for sustainable water management without construction.

Overall, 28 samples contained total coliform bacteria, 23 samples were positive for fecal coliform bacteria and 16 samples contained Escherichia coli. These results suggested poor hygienic conditions in the water production process. To safeguard public health, more effort is required regarding a community program and strict regulation.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Opisthorchis viverrini Infection in Sakon Nakhon Province, Thailand.

Opisthorchiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini. This parasite is widely distributed and well documented in Thailand, Lao PDR, Southern Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar. However, its prevalence is a major problem in these countries. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of O. viverrini infection from 2017 to 2020 in Sakon Nakhon province, Thailand. Questionnaires were used to interview 320 participants (160 cases and 160 controls) in a random selection of 18 districts across Sakon Nakhon province. Univariate logistic regression was used to identify the factors associated with O. viverrini infection. The overall prevalence levels of O. viverrini infection in Sakon Nakhon province for 2018, 2019, and 2020 were 3.60%, 5.21%, and 7.01%, respectively. Raw fish consumption was a positive risk factor for its infection in endemic areas. Factors associated with O. viverrini infection were the habit of consuming unsafely prepared fish (OR = 6.33, 95%CI = 0.32–0.59), the medical history of O. viverrini examination (OR = 8.93, 95%CI = 5.15–15.47), a history of O. viverrini infection (OR = 3.64, 95%CI = 1.17–1.44), and a history of taking praziquantel (OR = 3.64, 95%CI = 1.17–1.44). These results identified gaps in the epidemiological knowledge of O. viverrini in this region that need addressing to identify and develop innovative methods for prevention, control, and support efforts to permanently overcome O. viverrini infection in endemic regions.

The study aimed to determine factors affecting economic profits of beef cattle business in Sakon Nakhon Province. A sample of 400 members of Kor Ror Por Klang Phon Yang Kham Livestock Coop-erative Limited was determined by using Taro Yamane method, and binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the variables with the statistical significance of 0.01 included concentrate feeds, roughage, and the raised period of less than or equal to 12 months. They were statistically significant at 0.001 0.000, and 0.000 respectively, and the odd ratios were 1.387, 0.921, and 5.697 respectively. Additionally, the variables with the statistical significance of 0.05 includ-ed Charolais cattle (62.50%) and farm location. The two variables were statistically significant at 0.023 and 0.039 respectively with the odd ratios of 5.083 and 0.595 respectively. If the cows are fed on 1 more kg/day of more concentrated feed, it is likely for the farmers to increase economic profit by 0.921 times and 1.387 times respectively. The probability of economic profit is by 5.697 times if the cattle are raised no more than 12 months. The cross-bred cattle with 62.50% Charolais breed showed the proba-bility for the farmers to gain economic profit by 5.083 times. Finally, those who had farms located next to the farm family’s home were more likely to gain less economic profit by 0.595 times.
