    The study by Mayer, Kirchner, and Volkamer published at SOUPS 2017 showed that the password composition policy (PCP) strength of both the US and German websites was not influenced by the security but by the usability features of the websites. Surprisingly, the PCP strength of the banking website category was the lowest, whereas the government website was the highest. Our aim in conducting the first study is to find whether 78 Thai frequently used websites in 2018 would yield the same surprising results. Our finding showed an opposite perspective, the highest PCP strength was from the banking websites, followed by university and government websites, respectively. Two more security features were added to our study: 2FA and HTTPS. Although some German websites employing 2FA allowed lower PCPs for better usability, Thai websites with 2FA did not loosen the password requirements. Also, employing HTTPS did not impact the PCP strength. The study with Thai websites was reinvestigated in 2021, two years after the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) was announced. The result showed that the median PCP strength of all Thailand samples had grown from 26.6 in 2018 to 31.0 in 2021. The banking websites still retained the highest PCP strength. A significant change appeared on the government websites, increasing from 29.9 to 40.4. In summary, the security features such as the size of services, and values of assets which play no part in both the US and German PCPs were heavily concerned by Thai websites. Government and university websites in Germany and USA gave much higher PCP strength than those in Thailand. The Thai government's PCP strength sharply increased in 2021 due to the privacy law. Nevertheless, it was still lower than the results in Germany and USA in 2016. Therefore, the criteria influencing PCP vary depending on the country.

    This research aims at applying the well-known pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) image classification algorithms such as InceptionV3, Xception, ResNetV2, InceptionResNetV2, and DenseNet to classify the five diseases of rice's leaves in Thailand. Data sets used are from 3 sources: UCI database, Rice Leaf Disease Image Samples dataset and images collected by authors in Thailand between 2018–2020. Our initial experimental result shows that using the pre-trained CNN models to classify the rice leaves disease seems to be possible with a greater number of images required. Therefore, the image data augmentation technique is used to add the number of images into the dataset. The experimental result with data augmentation shows that it could increase rice disease classification efficiency up to 16.533% (especially for the ResNet50V2 model).
