The tools used in the study were: 1) interview form for the impact of the flood situation, 2) questionnaire on the impact of the flood situation. Qualitative data were analyed as descriptive. The results of the study showed that :1) Environmental impact from the flood situation, it was found that most of them were damaged in agriculture, for example, the flooding of rice fields and vegetable gardens, resulting in the lack of agricultural products for villagers and lack of income from agriculture. 2) The economic impact from the flood situation was found to affect agricultural crops and made the villagers lose income from their work due to inability to travel to work. And after the flood disaster disappeared must borrow debt borrowing money to repair the house which such villagers has been doing agriculture for the most part by damage to the plantation will fall at 1,750 baht per rai. There were some families relying on agriculture as their main occupation, the next occupation is trading. There are no products to be sold and do not have money to go buy things to resell. 3) Social impact from the flood situation, it was found that most of them were damaged in housing such as doors, windows, home appliances that were broken. The road has been damaged by water erosion, making traffic difficult for a long time, having to use a boat instead of a car to travel. Agricultural crops are damaged, especially the rice fields that were mostly damaged.4) Health impact from the flood situation, it was found that most of them had water allergies, such as biting feet. The cause of water bites is caused by irritation of the skin. Due to wetness and exposure to dirt, various chemicals in flooded areas can cause eczema. The skin looks peeling, especially at the niche of the toes which has a red rash, burning, itching, including causing stress and anxiety in the lives of the villagers in everyday life.","PeriodicalId":499708,"journal":{"name":"International journal of membrane science and technology","volume":"6 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135974648","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}

However, there was a slight negative trend, suggesting that the students’ well-being was somewhat affected by studying alone in an online context.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB), which can prevent substances from accessing the central nervous system, is the most difficult obstacle to overcome in the development of neural medication delivery systems (CNS). For several biological applications, carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as highly outstanding and promising agents, including the treatment of brain tumours, ND, and bioimaging research. Because of their great qualities, they have a lot of potential for a range of scientific disciplines due to their biocompatibility, tiny size, tunable optical properties, photostability, and straightforward fabrication processes. This article's goal is to provide a summary of current CD research and to make recommendations for future work on creating neural drug delivery systems that can penetrate the BBB and reach the central nervous system. The two main subjects of this review are CD toxicity and unique optical properties. For a variety of neurological illnesses, a unique CD-based drug delivery system is designed in detail. This study also explores the possible applications of CDs for neurodegenerative disease therapies and imaging of brain tumours. The final section provides a summary of present CD sensing applications and projected future developments.","PeriodicalId":499708,"journal":{"name":"International journal of membrane science and technology","volume":"57 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135411355","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}

In terms of medical screening and diagnosis, a large number of diabetes patients posed a huge problem for skilled clinicians. The idea is to employ deep learning algorithms to detect blind spots in the eye and estimate the severity of the stage. We present an optimum approach for detecting blindness in retinal images based on recently released pre-trained EfficientNet models, as well as a comparative assessment of many innovative neural network models, in this study. On a benchmark dataset of retina images obtained by diagnostic imaging at various imaging phases, our EfficientNet-B5-based model assessment performs better than CNN and ResNet50 models.","PeriodicalId":499708,"journal":{"name":"International journal of membrane science and technology","volume":"57 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135411352","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}
