Evaluation Of Leptospirosis Vaccine Efficacy After Modifications Of N-Linked Glycosylation In Liga Mrna Vaccines., Rampapat Phaetthayanan
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Leptospirosis, caused by pathogenic Leptospira species, is a widespread zoonotic disease, particularly prevalent in developing countries in tropical areas. Commercially available bacterins have several limitations. A previous study developed a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine encoding the carboxy-terminal domain 7-13 of LigA (LigAc) that was expressed with glycosylation in mammalian cells and elicited high humoral immune response in a hamster model but failed to provide protection against lethal challenge. To improve the protective efficacy, this study aimed to develop LigAc-mRNA vaccines with minimal glycosylation. Three mRNA constructs were developed based on two strategies: modifying the potential N-glycosylation sites (from asparagine to …

The Insignificant: Curating “Everyday” Lights In Bangkok, Bhuvarin Thaveetermsakul
The Insignificant: Curating “Everyday” Lights In Bangkok, Bhuvarin Thaveetermsakul
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
The “insignificant” in this thesis is not meant unimportant, but a neutral state of the subject waiting to be acknowledged by the observer. This concept is based on the theories of “everyday life,” proposed by Charles Baudelaire and Maurice Blanchot. In “The Painter of Modern Life” (1863), Baudelaire redefined art as the object of everyday, while Blanchot’s “Everyday Speech” (1959) described the everyday as something difficult to grasp yet existed along the urban streets.This thesis is the exploration into everyday lights and darkness in different architectural scales and cultural contexts. The exploration is classified through scholarly texts from Electric light: …

Potted Plants In Urban Spaces: Analyzing Social And Spatial Dynamics For Urban Management In Bangkok's Residential Areas, Chihiro Okajima
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Potted plants have long served as portable, small-scale gardens for residents in Thailand, particularly in densely populated and flood-prone areas. In Bangkok, they remain a common feature of the urban landscape, reflecting both everyday life and traditional Thai culture. Beyond their cultural and visual value, these potted plants are increasingly recognized as a practical form of green infrastructure, especially in high-density urban areas where space is limited. However, current rigid regulatory frameworks—which distinguish strictly between public and private spaces—prioritize keeping sidewalks clear, creating tension between city and residents as most potted plants are placed on public land beyond private property …
Cinematic Architecture: Perceiving The Real From The Reel In How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies Film Setting, Edbert Theo Fortino
Cinematic Architecture: Perceiving The Real From The Reel In How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies Film Setting, Edbert Theo Fortino
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Cinematic architecture is a multidisciplinary approach that examines the relationship between film and architecture. This thesis explores how film offers a unique way to immerse audiences in spatial experience. Through time, movement, and visual framing, film can dramatize or reinterpret space according to the director’s vision, making it a valuable medium for understanding how architecture is perceived, used, and felt. Film also visualizes fragments of real everyday life, cultural practices, and spatial behaviour. Observing how characters inhabit and interact with spaces reveals how real users interpret the functional and symbolic meanings of architecture—insights often overlooked when architects rely solely on …
