Case Study

Chemical-free vegetable farm was initiated in order to provide non-pesticide contaminated vegetables for the university staff, students and nearby communities. The university has selected farmers who have organic vegetables knowledge and experience to reclaim and improve soil quality in the area of 4 rai, where was unused area.

Developing and enhancing mechanisms for equality in education in partnership with agencies and organizations caring for and assisting Bangkok’’s early childhood groups.

Media Literate Elderly: Creating Media Literacy Course and Expanding Networks of Communicators for Well-being

The Key Concepts of Mahidol University is Green University

Mahidol University received a grant from the Austrian Government to create a representative study of children of the Migrant Learning Center (MLC) in Phop Phra and Tha Song Yang Sub-districts in Mae Sot Province to make a comparison with children in the nearby Thai Early Childhood Development Center (ECCD).

Personnel potential development by world-class experts (Train the Trainers) leads to the improvement of medical care, networking, and the dissemination of knowledge to medical development outside the country (Training the Others), especially in developing countries.

Reducing the gender gap in business sector, and expanding the number of female executives are two key goals for advancing gender parity. As a result, this initiative is propelled by a number of events and initiatives aimed at educating the public about the importance of women in business. Actions include a public conference on International Women’’s Day, two research projects, a program on leadership encoding among women in positions of power, and an examination of the competencies required of transwomen in the leadership position.

Early childhood is the stage for building a foundation for child growth and further learning in life. A great number of children in early childhood lack proper caregiving and development promotion resulting in an impact on a group of children to lack an opportunity to be nurtured well. Studying the situation of children in early childhood which is the vulnerable group in Bangkok and potential development of caregiver volunteers for the mentioned group of children could be used to improve caregiving for children in vulnerable group in Bangkok to be prepared for primary school learning.

Besides being one of the main headwaters of Chanthaburi river, North Ta-riu sub-tributary, Khao Soi Dao wildlife sanctuary has been the habitat of many endangered mammals with the efforts of community-based conservation by local people for more than a decade. However, these ecosystem services will be destroyed if the Khlong Ta Liu Dam project of the Royal Irrigation Department was successfully re-proposed to construct in this area.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5 or fine particulate matter with a diameter up to 2.5 microns) is one of the most important causes of premature deaths. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that outdoor air pollution caused 4.2 million premature deaths globally in 2016 due to PM2.5 exposure. The PM2.5 exposure could lead to cardiovascular and respiratory disease, and cancers (WHO, 2021). In Thailand, overall PM2.5 concentrations have been reduced continuously. Nonetheless, the annual average PM2.5 concentrations in Thailand have still exceeded the World Health Organization standards throughout the past 10 years. Transport sector is one of the major sources of PM2.5 emissions. Understanding the potential health impacts and costs of PM2.5 formation from different modes of transport will help raising the awareness of the public due to the realisation on the PM2.5 footprint of their actions. PM2.5 footprint is considered as the health impacts from PM2.5 formation throughout life cycle of products and organisations. PM2.5 footprint is quantified by multiplying emissions with characterisation factors. Afterwards, the health costs could be obtained by economic evaluation of the health impacts. The PM2.5 Footprint Calculator v1.01 was developed as a tool for enhancing environmentally sustainable passenger transport in Thailand. The PM2.5 Footprint Calculator v1.01 can determine primary and secondary PM2.5 emissions (PM2.5, NOx, NH3, and SO2) and assess health impacts and costs of passenger transport by road, water and rail in Thailand. The calculator consists of primary and secondary PM2.5 emission inventory (for passenger transport), city-specific characterisation factors, and health cost conversion factor. The details of emission inventory, impact characterisation and economic valuation can be seen the background report of PM2.5 Footprint Calculator v1.01 (Prapaspongsa et al., 2021). Features of the current version and future updates of the PM2.5 footprint calculator are also documented in the report. The PM2.5 Footprint Calculator v1.01 is provided in two versions including Web-Based PM2.5 Footprint Calculator and PM2.5 Footprint Calculator (Microsoft Excel Program). Users can directly apply the Web-Based PM2.5 Footprint Calculator via this PM2.5 footprint website or download the PM2.5 Footprint Calculator (Microsoft Excel Program) from this website for own calculations. The Web-Based PM2.5 Footprint Calculator computes the health impacts and costs from "well-to-wheel" including emissions from upstream fuel and electricity production; and exhaust emissions from fuel combustion. The PM2.5 Footprint Calculator (Microsoft Excel Program) can assess health impacts and costs both from "well-to-wheel" and "tank-to-wheel”. In the tank-to-wheel scope, the exhaust emissions from fuel combustion (indicated as "vehicle use" in this excel) are considered.

Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital has launched an innovative rapid COVID-19 antigen test kit that can provide an accurate result within 15 minutes at an affordable price and easy-to-use. The technology to manufacture and distribute was provided by AFFINOME CO., Ltd., the only Thai manufacturer in 24 lists approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
