Marine litter is a key vector of dispersing invasive species in the marine environment. However, our knowledge of the ecological interactions between these species and litter is still incomplete. Here, we investigated the substrate preferences and physical characteristics of marine litter colonized by the invasive mussel Mytella strigata, and explored the role of litter in the population expansion of this species along the Tamil Nadu coast, India. A total of 72 fouled debris were observed along the study areas. The majority of the fouling litter was composed of plastic (87.5 %), followed by rubber (4.2 %), wood (4.2 %), glass (2.8 %) and metal (1.4 %). A total of 2637 individuals of M. strigata were recorded on the marine litter, with recruitment on plastic substrates. Particularly, M. strigata were most common on large marine litter with irregular or cylindrical shapes, rough surfaces and transparent, blue or green colours. Our work provides evidence that marine litter can play a role in the reproduction of this invasive mussel. Consequently, M. strigata benefits from the litter substrates and the habitat complexity created by anthropogenic materials along the Tamil Nadu coast, enhancing its survival and reproduction. This could promote the expansion of the M. strigata population and thus affect the composition and structure of the marine ecosystem.

Building a Sustainable Future: Thailand's SHRM Approach to the SDGs
(2024-01-01)
Sa-ardnak, Arissa
Three aspects of sustainable development are derived from the combination of the aim Sustainable Development Goals include: environment, society, and economy. The conceptual model of sustainable human resource management (SHRM) in Thailand is presented in this article. The factors of this framework influence the sustainable human resource management. The literature review of sustainable development, Sustainable Development Goal, and human resources management is evaluated through the synthesis of ideas founded on many categories and autonomous concepts related to sustainable human resources management. Sustainable human resource management can enhance the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

This paper attempts to provide an insight into the management of innovation and sustainable development of FMCG across omni-channels by shoppers in Thailand. The theoretical model was generated from the triangulation of three models based on the touchpoints of product, satisfaction, online trust & loyalty, offline trust & loyalty, and sustainable consumption. The models utilized in this study are IS success model, loyalty model and sustainable consumption model. The study used structural equation model (SEM) technique with AMOS program that consist of FMCG Shoppers on online and offline platforms with 369 respondents across Thailand. The study hypotheses were accepted, and the findings shows that most customers want to purchase products or services confidently, promptly, and easily from trusted online shops and such relationships can translate into offline benefits for the shops. The researchers recommend that brands must be honest to their customers and consider their customer benefits in all management decisions incorporating omni-channels across different platforms.
