Item Metadata only Urbanisation of a growing tropical mega-city during the 21st century — Landscape transformation and vegetation dynamics(2023-10-01) Thaweepworadej P.; Evans K.L.; Mahidol Universityto ∼ 2018 and address three questions: i) does urbanisation generate temporal shifts in the form of vegetation cover-urbanisation intensity relationships?, ii) do urban expansion and densification generate different vegetation dynamics?, iii) do net changes... in vegetation cover and loss vary with urbanisation intensity? The form of vegetation cover-urbanisation intensity relationships exhibited negligible temporal variation, supporting the use of space-for-time substitution approaches for predicting future landcoverPublication Metadata only Linking Fruit and Vegetable Consumption, Food Safety and Health Risk Attitudes and Happiness in Thailand: Evidence from a Population-based Survey(2020-01-01) Sirinya Phulkerd; Sasinee Thapsuwan; Natjera Thongcharoenchupong; Aphichat Chamratrithirong; Rossarin Soottipong Gray; Mahidol University© 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. The purpose of this nationally-representative cross-sectional study was to investigate the association of fruit and vegetable consumption and food safety and health risk attitudes with happiness among Thai..., and vegetable consumption, sociodemographic characteristics, and risk attitudes were collected via survey questionnaires. Multiple regression analysis was used in investigating the association between risk attitudes, fruit and vegetable consumptionPublication Metadata only Food safety in Thailand 2: Pesticide residues found in Chinese kale (Brassica oleracea), a commonly consumed vegetable in Asian countries(2015-01-01) Sompon Wanwimolruk; Onnicha Kanchanamayoon; Kamonrat Phopin; Virapong Prachayasittikul; Mahidol Universitycountries. For Thailand, this regulation exists in law but is not fully enforced. Therefore, pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits have not been well monitored. This study investigated the pesticide residues in Chinese kale, a commonly eaten vegetable... carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, chlorothalonil, cypermethrin, dimethoate, metalaxyl or profenofos was detected exceeding their MRLs. This represents a 29% rate of pesticide detection above the MRL; a rate much higher than in developed countries. Washing vegetablesPublication Metadata only Choice of food waste management for a large vegetable market in Thailand(2019-01-01) Weerawat Ounsaneha; Thunwadee Tachapattaworakul Suksaroj; Cheerawit Rattanapan; Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University; Mahidol Universityis of great importance to minimize environmental burdens. For Thailand, 20 % of total solid waste generation was the fresh market and the lack of food waste management for vegetable market in Thailand is presented. Hence, this research was to develop... the choice of food waste management for a large vegetable markets in Thailand. The result showed that cabbage and lettuce products were the primary process by cutting for food waste generation in this market. For the owner food waste managementPublication Metadata only Influence of Vegetation Cover on Nest Cavity Selection and Nesting Success of White-Rumped Shamas (Copsychus malabaricus): An Experimental Test(2017-12-01) Tananun Chotprasertkoon; Andrew J. Pierce; Tommaso Savini; Philip D. Round; Wangworn Sankamethawee; George A. Gale; King Mongkut s University of Technology Thonburi; Mahidol University; Khon Kaen Universityseasonal evergreen forest in northeastern Thailand. Shamas were provided two boxes per territory, one with high and the other with low vegetation cover in front of the box entrance. Boxes were reset in new locations after a nest fledged or failed, providing... 170 'choice' trials. We also compared vegetation characteristics of natural nest cavities with available natural nest cavities. Contrary to predictions, shamas placed nest material in the less concealed boxes significantly more often (89 boxes vs. 48Publication Metadata only Phytochemicals and in vitro bioactivities of aqueous ethanolic extracts from common vegetables in thai food(2021-08-01) Uthaiwan Suttisansanee; Parunya Thiyajai; Parisut Chalermchaiwat; Khanitha Wongwathanarat; Kanchana Pruesapan; Somsri Charoenkiatkul; Piya Temviriyanukul; Kasetsart University; Thailand Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives; Mahidol UniversityNon-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading global cause of death. The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed the consumption of fruits and vegetables because they are rich in phytochemicals that sustainably ameliorate the occurrence... of NCDs. Thai food contains many spices and vegetables with recognized health benefits. Quality control of plant samples encountered a bottleneck in the field and comparative studies of plant control origins including species or cultivar identificationItem Metadata only Effects of Coexposure to Air Pollution from Vegetation Fires and Extreme Heat on Mortality in Upper Northern Thailand(2024-01-01) Uttajug A.; Seposo X.; Phosri A.; Phung V.L.H.; Tajudin M.A.B.A.; Ueda K.; Uttajug A.; Mahidol Universityof exposure to air pollution from vegetation fires and extreme heat on all-cause mortality in Upper Northern Thailand. Methods: we used a time-stratified case-crossover study design with a conditional quasi-Poisson model to examine the association between... mortality and coexposure to air pollution due to vegetation fire events (fire-PM2.5) and extreme heat. Extreme heat days were defined using the 90th and 99th percentile thresholds for daily maximum temperature. Results: we observed a significant positivePublication Metadata only Urinary glyphosate biomonitoring of sprayers in vegetable farm in Thailand(2020-01-01) Sasivimol Bootsikeaw; Pornpimol Kongtip; Noppanun Nankongnab; Suttinun Chantanakul; Dusit Sujirarat; Redeerat Mahaboonpeeti; Phanthawee Khangkhun; Susan Woskie; University of Massachusetts Lowell; Naresuan University; Thailand Ministry of Public Health; Mahidol University; Center of Excellence on Environmental Health and Toxicologyconcentrations among 43 vegetable farmers spraying glyphosate in Bungphra Subdistrict, Phitsanulok Province. Four types of spraying equipment were used, manual pump backpack (n = 3), motorized spray backpack (n = 22), battery pump backpack (n = 16), and high... were 9.37 (10.17) µg/m3. The GM (GSD) of total dermal patches exposure concentrations were 7.57 (0.01) mg/h. The legs, back, and arms were the most exposed body areas.
