Buddy Take care

Buddy Take care

Abstract

**Innovative Walking Stick "Buddy Take Care"** The "Buddy Take Care" walking stick is designed to physically support the elderly or individuals recovering from injuries, enabling convenient mobility, reducing the risk of falls, and enhancing walking safety. It is crafted as a keychain-style walking stick with a one-touch open-close mechanism. Building upon existing market products, the Buddy walking stick incorporates additional functionalities such as a portable flashlight, a medicine compartment, and an AirTag slot to maximize utility. Its design prioritizes ease of use, convenience, and safety, specifically tailored for elderly users

Objective

ปัจจุบันประเทศไทยได้ก้าวเข้าสู่สังคมผู้สูงอายุอย่างเต็มรูปแบบ ผู้สูงอายุบางกลุ่มประสบปัญหา การเดิน การทรงตัวทำให้มีความเสี่ยงต่อการหกล้ม ซึ่งอาจส่งผลกระทบรุนแรงไม้เท้าจึงเป็นอุปกรณ์ที่ผู้สูงอายุนิยมใช้เพื่อช่วยในการเคลื่อนไหว อย่างไรก็ตาม ไม้เท้าที่พบในท้องตลาดมักมีข้อจำกัด เช่น ขนาดใหญ่ พกพายากเมื่อใช้งานเป็นเวลานานอาจทำให้รู้สึกปวดมือ ทำให้กลุ่มของพวกเราต้องการออกแบบไม้เท้าในรูปแบบใหม่ที่พกพาง่าย และปลอดภัยกับการใช้งานต่อผู้สูงอายุโดยเฉพาะ

Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

In raising crickets for meat consumption, the growth rate and growth period of crickets are important data used to identify the number of crickets per breeding area at each age. Therefore, the researcher has an idea to create a system for monitoring the growth rate of crickets in a closed system using an infrared camera combined with computer image processing to study the growth and identify the growth period of crickets at each age in order to obtain knowledge that can be disseminated to farmers to improve the breeding process for maximum efficiency.

Production of Lactic acid bacteria prototype from Thailand for use as probiotics for livestock animals

This research gives a comprehensive overview of the use of antibiotics in livestock production, highlighting both the benefits and the risks associated with their use. The benefits, such as improving immunity, digestion, and reducing infections, are contrasted with the growing concern over antibiotic residues and the development of drug resistance. The shift towards alternatives like probiotics is explored as a sustainable solution, with a specific focus on lactic acid bacteria (LAB) found in the digestive systems of livestock. Thailand’s regulations, which control antibiotic use in animal feed, are also discussed, setting the stage for the study on LAB as a potential replacement for imported probiotics. 1. Use of Antibiotics in Livestock: Antibiotics have been used to promote growth, improve digestion, and prevent infections in livestock. However, the improper use of antibiotics can lead to residues in animal products and the development of drug-resistant bacteria. 2. Global Trends in Antibiotic Use: Many countries, like the European Union and Japan, have banned antibiotics as growth promoters, while others, like China and the U.S., are planning similar bans. 3. Thailand's Approach: Thailand has implemented a regulation since September 2020 to control the use of antibiotics in animal feed, requiring control at both feed mills and farms that mix their own feed. 4. Probiotics as an Alternative: Probiotics, particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), are being studied as an alternative to antibiotics. LAB are naturally found in the digestive tracts of livestock and are considered beneficial for maintaining gut health and replacing the need for antibiotics. The study examines the potential of LAB from Thai livestock (broilers, pigs, and cattle) as a sustainable alternative to imported probiotics, aiming to overcome issues like low survival rates of foreign probiotics in practice.
