The methanol extract (SG-MET) provided the highest yield (9.53%) compared to other solvents. The results demonstrate that solvent polarity significantly influences the extraction efficiency of phenolic and flavonoid compounds. Methanol, a highly polar solvent, extracted the highest total phenolic content (36.18 ± 1.01 mg GAE/g extract) and comparable total flavonoid content (36.79 ± 1.38 mg QE/g extract). Additionally, the methanol extract exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity (IC50 = 554.82 ± 5.52 μg/mL) among the three extracts, although it remained lower than the standard Trolox (IC50 = 5.96 ± 0.13 μg/mL). These findings highlight methanol's effectiveness in extracting polar bioactive compounds, particularly phenolics and flavonoids, from Cannabis sativa roots. The study suggests that the methanol extract has significant potential as a source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties, which could be further explored for applications in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and related fields.</p> Suwadee Chokchaisiri Chawalit Yongram Isariya Tosalee Thanachai Thanompak Copyright (c) 2025-03-13 2025-03-13 24 29 Species Identification of Anisakis Parasites in Mae Klong Mackerel from Thailand Using DNA Barcoding http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICHG2025/article/view/1691 <p>Anisakis parasites significantly impact public health. Unlike most other fish-borne parasites, which are typically associated with freshwater seafood, Anisakids are primarily linked to marine fish. This parasite has also been detected in Mae Klong mackerel. However, the morphological similarities among members of the Anisakis genus make species-level identification through morphological methods challenging. Consequently, DNA barcoding was employed to confirm the species level of the Anisakis parasite found in Mae Klong mackerel. Our study determined that the Anisakis parasites from Maeklong mackerel were identified as A. typica, based on comparisons with published sequences in the GenBank database. The results of the phylogenetic tree analysis corroborated this identification, demonstrating a clear clustering of our samples with A. typica sequences from the database. Thus, we underscore the importance of safe consumption practices to mitigate the risk of Anisakis infections and emphasizes the need for public education on the dangers of consuming raw fish, advocating adherence to food safety guidelines, such as thorough cooking or appropriate freezing.</p> Tanawat Chaiphongpachara Sedthapong Laojun Copyright (c) 2025-03-13 2025-03-13 30 35 The Immediate Effect of Thai Herbal Steam on Heart Rate Variability and Stress http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICHG2025/article/view/1692 <p>The study evaluated the Immediate Effect of Thai Herbal Steam on Heart Rate Variability and Stress.

In Thailand, this species is recognized as a secondary vector of malaria. This study aimed to confirm and identify the malaria secondary vector, An. aconitus, collected in Western Thailand using DNA barcoding. The BLAST results confirmed the identification of three An. aconitus samples collected from Western Thailand by comparing their DNA sequences with reference sequences in the GenBank database. All three samples, identified as IDs 001, 002, and 003, matched the An. aconitus references in the database. Furthermore, the phylogenetic tree elucidates the relationships among Anopheles species, showing that our An. aconitus samples from Ratchaburi (ID001, ID002, ID003) were grouped with other An. aconitus sequences from GenBank (MT434296 and MT753033), confirming they belong to the same species. These results provide guidelines for identifying malaria vectors and ultimately enhance the effectiveness of malaria surveillance.</p> Sedthapong Laojun Tanawat Chaiphongpachara Copyright (c) 2025-03-13 2025-03-13 152 158 Assessment of Stroke Risk and Related Complications in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients in Samut Songkhram Province, Thailand http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICHG2025/article/view/1709 <p>Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, particularly among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Diabetes is associated with a range of acute and chronic complications, including an elevated risk of stroke. Early identification of stroke risk factors in diabetic patients is critical to reducing complications and improving health outcomes. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the stroke risk levels among patients with T2DM, identify associated factors, and provide insights for targeted interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 40 patients with T2DM at Khlongkhoen Subdistrict Health Promoting Hospital in Samut Songkhram Province, Thailand. Data were collected using structured interviews, including demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and complications. Stroke risk levels were classified into low risk and moderate-to-high risk. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and logistic regression. Results: Among the patients, 35% were classified as low risk, while 65% were in the moderate-to-high risk category. Significant factors associated with stroke risk included earlier age at diabetes diagnosis (&lt;60 years; p=0.02) and the presence of two or more comorbidities (p=0.04). Symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia were also significantly associated with stroke risk (p=0.043). However, exercise frequency showed no significant relationship with stroke risk (p=0.533). Conclusion: The findings highlight the need for early screening and comprehensive management of stroke risk factors in diabetic patients, particularly those with early-onset diabetes and multiple comorbidities. Integrating community-based interventions and patient education may improve self-care and reduce stroke-related complications.</p> Arina Abdulloh Aneesah Tayayoh Sukanya Thongbunrueng Supaphit kongnok Copyright (c) 2025-03-13 2025-03-13 159 168 Microplastics investigation on the popular seafood of Samut Songkhram, Thailand http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICHG2025/article/view/1710 <p>Microplastic contamination in seafood has become a growing concern now worldwide, particularly in regions with marine fisheries and high seafood consumption.

This study investigates the relationship between noise levels in ferry environments and stress levels among these workers, aiming to provide insights into effective noise hazard management strategies. While noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a well-documented consequence of prolonged exposure to high noise levels. This study adopts a mixed-methods approach to evaluate the connection between noise exposure and stress levels. Quantitative data on noise levels were collected using sound level meters in various ferry operations, with measurements taken at both engine rooms and ticket collection areas during peak and non-peak hours. Stress levels were assessed through validated psychological stress questionnaires and physiological indicators, such as heart rate variability (HRV), among ferry engine operators and ticket collectors. Additionally, qualitative interviews were conducted to capture workers’ subjective experiences and coping mechanisms related to noise exposure. The results reveal a strong correlation between noise levels and stress levels, with engine operators experiencing higher stress due to prolonged exposure to noise levels exceeding 90 decibels. Ticket collectors, although less exposed to extreme noise, reported stress linked to intermittent loud sounds combined with customer interactions in high-pressure environments. Based on these findings, the paper recommends a comprehensive noise hazard management framework. Finally, stress management initiatives, such as mindfulness training and wellness programs, are suggested to improve workers’ overall resilience respectively.</p> Anek Permvongseni Aran Kwanpan Copyright (c) 2025-03-13 2025-03-13 242 246 Occupational Health and Safety Management of Informal Labor Market Towards Small and Medium Enterprise (Smes) Marketing Development http://icbtsproceeding.ssru.ac.th/index.php/ICBTSZURICHG2025/article/view/1721 <p>The informal labor market plays a crucial role in supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by providing flexible and cost-effective labor solutions.
