This research titled “People saving status for pre-aging readiness” was aimed: 1) to study people saving status for pre-aging readiness 2) to study saving management conditions on people saving significance awareness incomes expenses and welfares in order to arrange the pre-aging readiness and 3) to study the situational factors and saving characteristics attitudes and behaviors influence in people saving status for pre-aging readiness. The quantitative research methodology was conducted the close-ended questionnaires were used as a tool for data collection and analysis results were presented in descriptive statistics. Samples used were the 360 pre-aging participants in Bangkok metropolitan with 40-59 years of age. Non-probability (Purposive) sampling and the basic statistics were used in analysis for frequency percentage mean standard deviation and inference statistics. Research findings suggested: 1) people saving status for pre-aging readiness in overview was in medium level the highest average was knowledge of proper professional skills for pre-aging people the next lower was family financial management and the lowest average was saving knowledge for earning more incomes. 2) saving management condition in overview was in large level the highest average were incomes and expenses the next lower was people saving significance awareness and the lowest average was welfare and 3) the situational factors and saving characteristics attitudes and behaviors have influenced in people saving status for pre-aging readiness.

The purposes of the research were to 1) study the 21st century skills of English for International Communication graduates desired by employers and 2) compare the employers’ requirements to skills of English for International Communication graduates categorized by the individual factors. The sample were 55 employers participating in the cooperative education project in the academic year 2017. The research tools were questionnaires and interviews. The statistical data analysis was performed by frequency percentage mean standard deviation and F distribution and the interview data analysis was performed by frequency and content analysis. It was found that the overall requirement of the employers for the 21st century skills of the graduates was at the high level (χ = 4.43 S.D = .35). As for each attribute the highest level was enthusiasm (χ = 4.63 S.D = .45) followed by collaboration (χ = 4.58 S.D = .46) and thinking skills (χ = 4.54 S.D = .47) respectively. The lowest level was the inquiry skills (χ = 4.07 S.D = .59). The result of the research hypothesis revealed that there is no significant difference between the employers with different employment sectors and working status and the requirement of the graduates’ attributes.

The objectives of this research were to characterize growth and melanin production on different culture media effect of copper ion and cobalt ion on growth and melanin production including antibacterial activity of crude melanin. The results revealed that actinomycetes strain PNST-01 have good growth on ISP-7 medium synthetic medium while strain PRBS-12 grow very well on ISP-3 medium complex medium. Both strains produced high amount of melanin showing brownish colony on ISP-7 medium but there is no melanin pigment production on ISP-1 medium and ISP-6 medium. Moreover the growth rate was reduced and both strains could not produce melanin pigment on ISP-7 medium without supplement with copper chloride and cobalt chloride. Crude melanin extract of strain PNST-01 showed antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778 Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 but could not inhibit Escherichia coli Shigella dysenteriae Salmonella typhi Klebsiella pneumoniae Serratia marcescens Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus pyogenes . While crude melanin extract of strain PRBS-12 gave antimicrobial activity only on B. cereus ATCC 11778 and B. subtilis ATCC 6633. Based on the study the results can be used as key information for further development of melanin production and application in various industries.

This research aims to study the appropriate drying condition and extraction solvent for extracting protein and antioxidants from the porcine placenta. Three levels of drying temperature were used in this study which were 50 60 and 70ºC the result shows that the best drying condition for porcine placenta was 70ºC for 4 hours because this condition provided the least drying time and the lowest moisture content of porcine placenta (3.80±3.36% dry basis). After that the fresh and dried porcine placenta were extracted by using three solvents which were deionized water (DI) phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and hexane. The efficiency of extraction was investigated by measuring the crude protein and antioxidant of the porcine placenta. It was found that there was no protein and antioxidant in fresh and dried porcine placenta extracted by hexane. However the protein was found as 0.05±0.01 and 0.04±0.01 mg of bovine serum albumin/100 mg fresh for fresh porcine placenta and 0.12±0.030 and 0.07±0.016 mg of bovine serum albumin/100 mg fresh for dried porcine placenta extracted by DI and PBS respectively. In additional the antioxidant was found as 1.13±0.03 and 1.29±0.04 mg of trolox/100 mg fresh for fresh porcine placenta and 3.37±0.02 and 3.59±0.01 mg of trolox/100 mg fresh for dried porcine placenta extracted using DI and PBS respectively.

This project presents the design and development of application software of retail management system for drinking yoghurt. The developed application runs with Client/Server processing on Windows XP or higher. The objective is to be convenient for checking products automatic adding/removing products in warehouse counting stocked products and editing data. Tools used in development are Microsoft SQL Server for database management Visual Basic Version 6.0 for application development and database programming and Crystal Report 8 for creating reports and invoices. The developed application can enhance the effectiveness in retailing for drinking yoghurt properly.
