Seventy pharmacy students were assigned into an intervention and control group to practice at certain communities. The program in the intervention group included a 1-day brief lecture on a basic physical examination and patient interview techniques and a 10-day program of four health-related activities; home visits, health screening, health education, and case discussion. The control group practiced a 10-day routine activity of the community. The students’ knowledge and attitude, the pharmacist and the practitioners’ attitude were assessed at the end of the program. The findings revealed that both groups showed improvement in total knowledge scores but basic health care score was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (p<0.01). All students were satisfied with the program and responded that their knowledge was strengthened. From the pharmacists’ viewpoint, patient care experience encouraged students to take care of others and the program helped students to understand health and drug use problems in the community. To sum up, the program was able to strengthen the patient care knowledge of students and health concern of the community. These benefits will encourage both students and communities to further solve health problems.","PeriodicalId":22107,"journal":{"name":"Silpakorn University Science and Technology Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73868854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The monitoring of helminthiasis among those people showed a high rate of infections by the intestinal fluke Haplorchis taichui , suggesting that also an epidemiologic study (of the epidemiology) of the intermediate hosts of this flat worm would be useful. In this study freshwater gastropods of thiarids and cyprinid fish (possible intermediate hosts) were collected around Bo Kluea and Pua District from April 2012 to January 2013. Both snails and fish were identified by morphology and their infections were examined by cercarial shedding and compressing. Cercariae and metacercariae of H. taichui were identified by morphology using 0.5 % neutral red staining. In addition a polymerase chain reaction of the internal transcribed spacer gene (ITS) was applied to the same samples. Among the three thiarid species present were Melanoides tuberculata , Mieniplotia (= Thiara or Plotia) scabra and Tarebia granifera only the latter species was infected with cercariae, with an infection rate or prevalence of infection of 6.61 % (115/1,740). In the 10 species of cyprinid fish (viz. Barbodes schwanenfeldi, Garra cambodgiensis, Hypsibarbus salweenensis, Mystacoleucus marginatus, Osparus pulchellus, Poropuntius deauratus, P. normani, Scaphiodonicthys acanthopterus, Systomus orphoides and S. stolitzkaenus ), metacercariae were found in all of them. Interestingly, B. schwanenfeldi, M. marginatus, P. deauratus, P. normani and S. orphoides had very high infection rates. Both morphometric and molecular identification confirmed those cercariae and metacercariae to represent the heterophyid Haplorchis taichui . Therefore, this study showed the high prevalence of this parasite both in its intermediate hosts as well as in humans. In order to prevent human infection, H. taichui has to be controlled.","PeriodicalId":22107,"journal":{"name":"Silpakorn University Science and Technology Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76793830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The biochemical standard tests were used for identification of isolates organisms including: Gram staining, catalase production, tolerance to bile salts, acid and base and the utilization of proteins, starch and fat. The antimicrobial activity and resistance against antibiotics were also determined. Comparative 16S rRNA analysis confirmed the identity of selected strains as Enterococcus italicus . Thirty weaned piglets (mixed sex and 35-day old) were divided into three groups (five replicates with two animals) consisting of a control group, a positive control group fed with commercial feed and antibiotic, and an experimental group fed with commercial feed and probiotics.

Meanwhile, water-extract from fermented ground maize (WEFGM) processed from two (western yellow and kewesoke white) maize varieties have been considered having been previously found to contain corrosion inhibitors. Its density, viscosity and specific heat capacity (SHC) were determined and compared with that of water. The results showed that white and yellow WEFGM give densities with percentage decrease of 0.1 and 1.0% relative to water respectively. Using Stokes’s law, the ratios of the viscosities for white WEFGM, yellow WEFGM and water were 1.22: 1.17: 1.00 and 1.20: 1.26: 1.00 respectively for the smallest (diameter of 0.45 cm) and biggest (diameter of 1.4 cm) spheres. T-test shows that there is no significant difference in the densities and viscosities values of all the samples (P<0.05). The result of SHC gives the ratio of 1.16:1.03:1.00 respectively for white, yellow and water samples with white and yellow having higher SHC than water with a difference of 15.7 and 3.6% respectively. Higher thermal capacity, presence of corrosion inhibitors with density and viscosity not quite dissimilar, viewed holistically, makes WEFGM having a better prospect than water as cutting fluid.","PeriodicalId":22107,"journal":{"name":"Silpakorn University Science and Technology Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83664442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typically, the ethanol concentration after fermentation is quite low. Normally, ethanol, as called anhydrous ethanol or absolute ethanol used for fuel energy, is required 99.5% purity or concentration. It is necessary to use energy-effective separation method for concentrating ethanol up to the fuel level. There are several techniques used to purify ethanol such as distillation, membrane technology and molecular sieve separation. Recently, the less energyintensive technique of pervaporation is found to be a promising method for producing high-purity ethanol, but the overall economic feasibility is dependent upon the membrane. Thus, in this review, various membranes reported in literature are discussed and compared as to their advantages, disadvantages, and separation performance via the pervaporation process. It is found that different membranes provide different performances and advantages in ethanol separation. Other parameters governing the separation performance, such as temperature, ethanol concentration, membrane production method, and production cost, are also included.","PeriodicalId":22107,"journal":{"name":"Silpakorn University Science and Technology Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79785473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of oxidizing agent concentration (H2O2), reaction temperatures (70 and 90 °C), types of supports (HZSM-5, SiO2 and Al2O3) and SiW loading (20-60 wt.% based on support) on the conversion and product yield were investigated. The addition of H2O2 and supported SiW catalysts significantly conducted the synergetic positive effects on glycerol conversion and acrylic acid yields as well as other desired products including glycolic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, acrolein and acrylic acid. High reaction temperature was able to enhance high glycerol conversion as the same yield of all desired products. The BET surface area of supported SiW catalysts played much more important role in the activities of oxydehydration of glycerol that this oxydehydration was more remarkable than the acidity of catalysts. Among all supported SiW catalysts, the SiW/HZSM-5 with SiW loading of 30 wt.% exhibited the highest glycerol conversion (85.54%) with the production acrylic acid yield of 30.57 % over 2.74 M H2O2 at 90 °C.
