Explore Historicovator's Innovative Learning Media to Take a Virtual Tour of Ancient Thai Communities Developed by Chula Education Lecturer
History is fun with Historicovator, an innovative metaverse media for learning the past at your own pace, by a Chula Education Lecturer that won several awards at the iCAN 2023 Innovation Contest in Canada. BANGKOK, March 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- There is no need to memorize history textbooks. Modern history education uses journeys into the past with modern media technology that will give learners a virtual experience, such as the innovative history learning material "Historicovator," developed by Associate Professor Dr. Racchaneekorn Hongphanut, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, Faculty of Education, Chulalongkorn University, to make history fun and modern. "Historicovator uses powerful metaverse technology to promote learners' self-learning, especially in history. Learners can explore the world of the past without limits in a virtual way, which will increase their understanding of historical events and connect them with the world today. Learning history will become a fun and meaningful learning experience," said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Racchaneekorn. Historicovator (Metaverse Historicovator for History Learning Media to Promote Self-Directed Learning in the BANI Era) is an innovative learning material that garnered several awards at the iCAN 2023 Innovation Contest in Canada, including the Special Award from the Canadian Special Award Innovation Initiative Co-operative Inc., The Inventors Circle, and the Best Woman Inventor Awards. Historicovator: History at Your Fingertip Modern learning technology "shrinks the world and revives the past" in our hands. With a smartphone or computer, it's easy to learn various subjects. For "Historicovator," interested learners can learn history by visiting the spatial website: https://historicovator.com/, where they can create their avatar and visit various learning contents as if they were walking in a museum or past worlds, giving the feeling of playing a game within a virtual world. There are pieces of knowledge alongside entertaining photos and videos for learners to read, listen to, and enjoy watching. "Historicovator helps learners to learn on their own, strive for new knowledge, and forget about old ways of history learning." According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Racchaneekorn, the platform will take learners on a journey to learn about the local cultural history of 5 communities in 5 regions of Thailand, which are unique historical areas, some of which still retain their traditional identities, including: Northern Region: "Thakan Community",Sanpatong District, Chiang Mai Province. Central Region: "Yaowarat Community",Samphanthawong, Bangkok. Eastern Region: "Wat Tha Klang Community", Tha Mai District, Chanthaburi Province. Western Region: "Tham Rong Community", Ban Lat District, Phetchaburi Province. Southern Region: "Hong Haam Tao Community", Muang District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. "Learning history will help us understand the origins and development of society and apply that knowledge to improve the future," Assoc. Prof. Dr. Racchaneekorn noted. No ticket is required to travel back in time To truly learn history, one must travel to real historical areas and listen to the stories of local people. This may be a limitation for learners, both in terms of cost and travel. Historicovator therefore overcomes these limitations, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Racchaneekorn said. "This innovation is designed for learners to experience the past as if they were in that world and to see the area in connection with the remaining primary historical sources. This includes hearing accounts from folk philosophers as well." Metaverse: The Learning Method for the BANI World Apart from learning history, Metaverse digital learning materials are used to manage learning in many disciplines, namely: In science, the Metaverse SkyView application allows learners to explore the universe via the augmented reality (AR) view of the night sky and can also use mobile devices to locate stars, constellations, planets, and satellites. In art, the VR Museum of Fine Art application allows learners to see world-class paintings and sculptures, including the Monalisa, without having to travel to France. In the Foreign Language discipline, Metaverse Mondly allows learners to practice foreign languages in actual conversation with native speakers without having to spend money to travel abroad. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Racchaneekorn concluded with the importance and trend of applying the metaverse in learning management for the 21st century, or BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible) world, that "an instructor does not have to only "teach," but can also inspire learners as a "coach" or "facilitator" to encourage self-learning and promote life-long learning skills.

The university is also listed as the best in Thailand for the 15th Consecutive Year (since 2009), according to the newly released QS World University Rankings 2024, putting Chula at 211th in the world, up from 244th last year.

Angel Yeast Hosts Community Welfare Activity in Egypt, Promoting Green Development and Cultural Exchanges
SHANGHAI, March 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Angel Yeast, (SH600298), the world's leading yeast manufacturer, recently hosted a community Welfare Activity on sustainable and green development for the students at a school near its factory in Egypt and gave gifts to the students. As a socially responsible company, Angel Yeast is committed to strengthening the connection with people and local communities. Angel Yeast Appreciated for Benefiting Egyptian People The event was joined by Dr. Ayman Al-Kashef, undersecretary of the Ministry of Education for Community Participation in Beni Sueif; Hanan Gerges, community event coordinator; Li Xiaokun, representative of Angel Yeast; Ahmed Bashir, general manager of the company factory, and Ahmed Azzazy, director of administration and sales manager of Angel Yeast (Egypt) Co., Ltd. "For Angel Yeast, the event was an opportunity to promote green and sustainable development, support students to engage more in the community, and educate the young generation on the importance of protecting the environment," said Li Xiaokun, Deputy General Manager of Angel Yeast (Egypt) Co., Ltd. Local media Elmaushir commented that Angel Yeast (Egypt) Co., Ltd. provides humanitarian assistance in all its forms and is keen on social participation in a way that connects the company with the local community and improves the social, cultural, and sports conditions, and the company is a successful model for investment in Egypt. Boosting community and social engagement with environment conservation as top priority Angel Yeast (Egypt) Co., Ltd. has created a significant number of employment opportunities, and as of now, it employs more than 900 local staff, including 56 supervisors and 14 senior executives. Upon the completion of the yeast product expansion project, which will boast 20,000 tons annual production capacity, the company will employ up to 1,000 more local employees. The company has actively established a circular economy model to advance the development of the local agricultural ecosystem, and continually promotes environmental governance, emission reduction, and clean production following an environment-first strategy. Angel Yeast is leveraging Egypt's abundant molasses to enhance sustainable production. By converting molasses byproducts into valuable resources, the company is exemplifying the principles of a green circular economy. The wastewater generated during the yeast manufacturing process undergoes treatment to become organic fertilizer, which is then sold to bolster the local agricultural sector. This innovative recycling initiative has earned commendations from the Egyptian government for its environmental benefits. Angel Yeast has developed a robust institutional framework and has implemented a variety of mechanisms that align with the ISO14001 environmental management system. The company's proactive governance includes the "Environmental Protection Concern Management System," which monitors, reports, and addresses potential environmental issues. This system facilitates prompt investigation and resolution of concerns, guaranteeing operations remain compliant with legal standards and committed to environmental integrity. With compliance as the red line and technological advancement as the core, since its commission, Angel Yeast (Egypt) Co., Ltd. has been operating the environmental protection facilities smoothly, including waste treatment and noise control, and all pollutant emission indexes are in line with the requirement. The company has implemented yeast fermentation tail gas and environmental tail gas control projects to strengthen odor control. The Company also regularly invites residents and students to visit the factory and learn about the whole process of treating wastewater and exhaust gas. "We hope to further promote sustainable development through events like this, to engage more people to take action and build a better, green home for all," said Li.

Waters Streamlines and Expedites PFAS Testing with Innovative Oasis Dual-Phase Cartridges
News Summary: Waters Oasis™ Dual-phase PFAS Analysis Cartridges simplify sample preparation for EPA 1633 testing for analysis of PFAS concentrations in non-potable water, soils, biosolids, and tissue. Reduces sample preparation time by 20% and sample processing time by approximately 30 minutes per batch to boost sample throughput and help busy laboratories save time and money. Cartridge lots are QC-tested by an accredited laboratory for low residual PFAS to help reduce or eliminate time spent troubleshooting PFAS contamination. MILFORD, Mass., March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT) announces new Oasis WAX/GCB and GCB/WAX for PFAS Analysis Cartridges with new design features that significantly streamline and expedite sample preparation and analysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). To help ensure accuracy and further confidence in test results, Oasis WAX/GCB and GCB/WAX Cartridges are QC-tested by an accredited laboratory for low residual PFAS, to reduce or eliminate any time spent troubleshooting potential assay contamination. "With the official release of EPA 1633, we know our customers trust and rely on us to provide high-quality products that reduce their risk. Waters new Oasis WAX/GCB and GCB/WAX Cartridges dramatically simplify and expedite the process of preparing complex samples, such as non-potable water, soil, biosolids, and tissue," said Erin Chambers, Vice President, Consumables and Lab Automation, Waters Corporation. "These dual-phase cartridges replace a laborious and dirty two-step process to significantly reduce sample prep and processing time while exceeding rigorous acceptance criteria." The cartridges combine the two clean-up steps required under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Method 1633 for PFAS analysis – a Weak Anion-Exchange (WAX) cartridge and dispersive solid phase extraction (dSPE) graphitized carbon black (GCB). The cartridges are faster and easier to use than the traditional method of using WAX and loose GCB, reducing the preparation process by approximately 30 minutes per sample batch. This allows customers to eliminate additional manual steps in their workflow, including weighing out loose GCB, shaking, centrifugation, and filtration. "The new cartridges give us the benefits of time savings and laboratory cleanliness by eliminating the loose carbon step, and are high-quality and dependable sample preparation products," says Amanda Cronin, PFAS Laboratory Supervisor at Katahdin Analytical Services, beta tester for the Waters Oasis WAX/GCB and GCB/WAX Cartridges. "The time savings is key for us. Time is money, and by combining steps into one cartridge, we choose the Waters cartridges for efficiency." Oasis WAX/GCB and GCB/WAX Cartridges are the latest products within a comprehensive portfolio of PFAS Testing Solutions offered by Waters to support the surging demand for PFAS environmental testing. In 2023 alone, PFAS chemicals led to over $11 billion in legal settlements.i This year, major regulations governing PFAS concentrations are expected, with the EPA finalizing key rules under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and Safe Drinking Water Act. European regulators are also considering PFAS regulations, with the closing of the comment period on the European Chemical Agency's PFAS Restriction Proposal in September 2023. In an environment of increased scrutiny, the ability to accurately test for PFAS is becoming a critical compliance need for a broad spectrum of industries. Waters Oasis WAX/GCB and GCB/WAX Cartridges are designed to meet all EPA Method 1633 requirements for aqueous and solid samples and are available in packs of 30 and 300 cartridges.

When the stars align: University of Technology Sydney (UTS) partners with high-tech start-up to drive sustainability in Australian space industry
SYDNEY, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The commercialisation of the Australian space sector is light years away from where it was just three years ago. UTS engineering students Liv, John and Jacob interned with Space Machines Company to help build the satellite Optimus. Photo by Jessica Lo. UTS Tech Lab Director of Business Development Roger Kermode met with Australian high-tech start-up Space Machines Company (SMC) CEO Rajat Kulshrestha, who shared a vision to build a business capable of inspecting, repairing, relocating, servicing, upgrading and disposing of spacecraft to create a more sustainable space industry. This coincided with the announcement by the previous Federal Government that it aimed to triple the national space economy from AU$4 billion to AU$12 billion and create 20,000 jobs by 2030. While SMC's pathway was clear, it became obvious that its dual goals of technological advancement and commercial viability would require a supporting partner with access to academic and technical expertise as well as cutting-edge facilities, equipment and workshop facilities. UTS Tech Lab was able to develop an innovation ecosystem that saw SMC provided with access to state-of-the-art equipment that would otherwise have to be rented or purchased. The collaboration unfolded in sync with UTS's strategic initiative to amplify investment in industry partnerships, particularly by establishing innovation precincts tailored to fulfill the requirements of NSW's broader innovation strategy. The strategic initiative seeks to cultivate best-practice research models, fostering a dynamic culture of collaboration and innovation within the university and its partner networks. In addition to creating new jobs and new research opportunities for researchers, forging closer relationships with industry partners also provides a host of internship and graduate opportunities for students. Currently, more than 20 per cent of SMC employees come from UTS - and SMC is now on the cusp of maintaining a permanent presence in space. The Optimus satellite launched into space on 5 March, and heralds the beginning of a new era in space sustainability as the first Australian commercial satellite capable of providing existing space infrastructure and satellites with life-extension services, inspections and on-orbit assistance. The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is one of the top 100 universities in the world and a leading public university of technology with global impact. Visit discover.uts.edu.au to learn more.

An unforgettable experience: University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Criminology students complete internship in Jakarta
SYDNEY, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In December 2023, students from the UTS Bachelor of Criminology program completed a unique internship program in Jakarta, Indonesia, as part of the Australian Federal Government's New Colombo Plan initiative. This initiative aims to "lift knowledge of the Indo Pacific in Australia by supporting Australian undergraduates to study and undertake internships in the region." Ashly Liu, Criminology (Forensics) and International Studies Student at UTS. (Source: UTS FASS) The UTS Bachelor of Criminology prepares students to face the transnational nature of crime with practical social science knowledge and skills, meaning an overseas study experience with one of Australia's closest neighbours is an important and highly valuable experience. One of the students, Ashly Liu, writes about her experience. We were sent to Jakarta for two weeks where the company International Internships hosted us. Our main task was to work in groups of three and conduct research on a selected vulnerable group and their access to justice in Indonesia. Our final report and presentation were then critiqued and reviewed by the Academics at the University of Indonesia. To better understand the social groups and presiding societal issues, we visited the local criminology agencies, conducting live interviews in correlation to our topics. We were also able to gain expertise from partnering up with local student interns from the University of Indonesia. Through my research project, I was able to explore the topic of vulnerable women in narcotic related crimes, and how they can access justice in the local Criminal Justice System. I worked collaboratively with a fellow UTS student as well as a final year criminology student from Universitas Indonesia. One of the key experiences for me in this process was being able to interview the people from the local agencies such as Amnesty Indonesia, Legal Aid, Commission on Violence against Women, Commission on Human Rights, Integrity Asia, Australian Embassy, IDN Media and more. It was really eye opening to have these professionals tell us about the ways our systems differ from each other, and also understanding how the socio-economic and cultural values affect how they view crime.
