Identification Of Genetic And Antigenic Variation And Evolution Pattern Among Influenza A And B Viruses In Thailand, Nungruthai Suntronwong
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Seasonal influenza viruses commonly cause respiratory disease and have a considerable impact on public health threats which annually estimates 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness worldwide. The triggering of the seasonal influenza epidemic results from a complex interplay between viral, host and external factors such as climate. Although vaccination is an effective tool for influenza prevention and its complications, the composition of vaccine strain has been changed every year due to influenza constantly evolving. Here, we aim to examine the association between influenza activity and local climate factors, host immunity, genetic and antigenic variation and evolution pattern among …

Influence Of Mixed Anionic-Nonionic Surfactants On Methane Hydrate Formation : Suppression Of Foam Formation, Chakorn Viriyakul
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Solidified natural gas (SNG) via clathrate hydrate is a new technology for natural gas storage with high energy content per unit volume, extremely safe, and ease to recover. Although SNG has several advantages, its limitation is low rate of hydrate formation. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is well known as a kinetic promoter used to increase the hydrate formation rate. However, using SDS resulted in a large amount of foam during gas recovery. In order to alleviate this problem, mixtures of SDS with nonionic surfactants were investigated. Polyoxyethylene (n) lauryl ether (EO₃ and EO₅) and alkyl poly glycol (APG) were mixed …

Communist "Normal" Life: The Criticism Of Daily Life Under A Totalitarian Regime, Rawee Archewa
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
The communist regime in Eastern Europe came after the end of Second World War by promoting the equality of people. The difference between West and East with two regimes obviously classified the living of people; the Western bloc emphasized on rights and freedom fostering the expansion of consumerist ideology. Consequently, the economic in the West developed, followed by the prosperity and well-being of people. In contrast to the Eastern bloc, it was controlled by the state and the evidences showed that the communist leaders could not serve the people's wants and needs.

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Bacteria, exposed to stress from the environment or competition, release toxins called bacteriocins. Bacteriocins are classified by their mode of cytotoxicity such as pore former, endonuclease, etc. Colicins are the member of bacteriocins produced by Escherichia coli (E.coli). Among several types of colicins cytotoxicity, Pore-forming colicins has been reported in both bacteria and various type of cancer cells. Colicin N is also a pore-forming colicin and the anticancer activity of colicin N has not been extensively reported. Here we examined the cytotoxic effects of colicin N and its domain on cancer cells. The expression and purification of recombinant full-length and …

Development Of Hyaluronic Acid-Based Nanogel Platform For Improved Stability And Polyvalent Ligand Display Of Poly(I:C) As An Effective Immunostimulatory Adjuvant In Cancer Immunotherapy, Nararat Kotcharat
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
The aim of this research was to develop a nanogel formulation-based on modified natural polymer, hyaluronic acid (HA), as a biodegradable material for adjuvant delivery. Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) have been approved by FDA as a promising adjuvant candidate for the TLR3 (Toll-Like Receptor 3) activation. However, it suffers from being poor stability and is subjected to rapid enzymatic hydrolysis in serum, so that it requires high administered dose leading to adverse effects. To augment the adjuvant stability and protection from the degradation, the nano-particulate carriers were herein designed with self-assembly of HA scaffold grafted with poly (N-isopropylacrylamide), or pNIPAM.

Comparison Of Area Under The Curves For Vancomycin From One- And Two-Compartment Models Using Sparse Data, Nyein Hsu Maung
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Vancomycin pharmacokinetics has been described by 1- and 2-compartment models. One-compartment models built from routine monitoring data, which were mainly trough samples, are commonly used to predict area under the curves (AUC), the useful indicator for vancomycin efficacy. The question stands whether AUCs from 1-compartment models with sparse data can sufficiently represent the true AUC. This study aimed to compare AUCs from 1- and 2-compartment models using sparse data. A previously published model was used to simulate full individual profiles for 100 patients. From these data, the reference AUC (AUCref) was calculated and two depleted datasets (trough-only and peak-trough) were …

Policy Engagements For A Just Decarbonisation: China's 2060 Carbon Neutrality Pledge's Ramifications On The Coal Industry Workforce In Shanxi, Lucile Charriaut
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
To achieve its ambitious carbon neutrality pledge by 2060, China, whose energy mix is still largely dominated by coal, must progressively phase out coal-fired power plants. Being highly polluting, coal is no longer perceived as suitable to promote a sustainable, clean, and long-standing economy. Shanxi, a landlocked northern province, is considered one of China's most coal-dependent provinces and accounts for a colossal coal workforce depending on the industry. Such a transition will, therefore, considerably alter the economic prospects and labour relations of this province. Considering the inevitability to lay off coal workers, the objective of this thesis is to determine …
