This research was aimed to investigate for pineapple leaf paper drying. In this study process of drying the paper as a final step after the other. Paper drying time takes in solar energy to dry naturally for at least 2-3 days or more without natural sunshine. Solar hybrid energy dryer was designed for drying faster than traditional drying. The development of solar hybrid energy dryer ability to operate continuously. The solar dryer receives the heat from sunshine by passing into the solar panel dimension 1 x 2.6 m2 . The panel was installed on the top of the oven which declined 15 degree from the ground. The dimension of the oven is 1 x 1.05 x 1.30 m3 and have added heat to paraphrase another 2 rooms and heater 4 kW with controller and have added heat to paraphrase another 2 rooms. The dryer installed heater 4 kW with temperature controller and blower 0.22 kW serves as the circulation of heat in the oven to constant flow of 0.138 m3 / s. Experiment research test 3 types ; the use of solar energy alone the use of solar heater with a temperature of 50 55 and 60 °C and the heater only at 50 55 and 60 °C with three temperature settings. The variables in the study such as temperature humidity in the dryer humidity and Solar energy affect the pineapple leaf paper drying time. Experimental results from solar heater hybrid with 60 °C temperature setting was dried in minimum period of 3 hours and half at an average initial moisture content 1043.70% db to the final moisture content of 9.12% db. Highest average temperature in the dryer was 64.33 °C with electrical energy consumption 10.5 kWh. The use of only solar drying was dried in maximum period of 5 hours at an average initial moisture content 1070.98% db to the final moisture content of 15.84% db. Highest average temperature in the dryer was 39.89 °C with minimum electrical energy consumption 10.5 kWh.

This research aims to rank popularity in pursuing higher-education in the field of Home Economics of 11th grade students in Bangkok Metropolitan area and to survey level of basic knowledge in Home Economics motivation and channel in receiving information for higher education. The sample group consisted of 400 students in 11th grade in Bangkok Metropolitan. The tool employed was an opinion questionnaire. The study found that the sample group ranked Kasetsart University as the highest popular university followed by Suan Dusit Rajabhat University Srinakharinwirot University Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon Suan Sunantha Rajabhat University Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi Rajamangala University of Technology Krungthe and Phranakhon Rajabhat University respectively. Most of the respondents had high level of knowledge in Home Economics particularly about Food and Nutrition. Regarding motivation the sample group gave importance to courses offered in terms of institutional aspect students’ requirement in terms of personal aspect and future career in terms of inherent individual factor. Concerning channel of information most respondents chose to gain information through guidance teacher and website of the universities which the samples considered as most reliable.

The objectives of this research are to use waste silk yarn for making women accessories and transfer the created technology to a women community in Surin Province. The required information for product design was collected. Subsequently 15 conceptual designs were made including necklace bracelet and bangle earring and pin. The experts were asked to choose the best 5 designs out of 15 designs. Then the prototypes were made by using waste silk yarn. Finally the most suitable product was selected for further technology transfer to a target group of 55 women who live in Surin. The questionnaires were used to asses the satisfactory of the training. The corresponding data was statistically analyzed. The results from the evaluated questionnaires show that most of the attended women are 31–40 years old and graduated from lower secondary schools. They are merchants and their average earnings are below 5000 Baht/month. Regard to the training program in terms of preparation instructors and overview most of them are satisfied the program in the high level to very high level. The average satisfactory for all of 3 aspects is in the high level.
