Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Abstract

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.

Objective

ปัจจุบันจิ้งหรีดถือได้ว่าเป็นสัตว์เศรษฐกิจชนิดใหม่ของประเทศไทยซึ่งทางภาครัฐโดยเฉพาะกรมปศุสัตว์ได้เริ่มมีการส่งเสริมให้ภาคการเกษตรได้เพาะเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดเพื่อการบริโภคสำหรับการส่งออก และเป็นการตอบรับกับเทรนด์อุตสาหกรรมอาหารใหม่ (Novel food) ตามแนวทางขององค์การอาหาร และเกษตรแห่งสหประชาชาติ (FAO : Food and Agriculture Organization) ซึ่งคาดการณ์เอาไว้ว่าจำนวนประชากรโลกจะเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่องทำให้ความต้องการแหล่งโปรตีนมีมากขึ้นตามไปด้วย คณะผู้วิจัยจึงมีแนวความคิดที่จะหาสร้างระบบเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดที่มีประสิทธิภาพ

Augmented reality media integrated with metaverse to develop English Phonics

This aimed to 1) develop an effective augmented reality (AR) media integrated with the metaverse to enhance English phonics and communication skills. 2) To evaluate English pronunciation skills using augmented reality media integrated with the metaverse, and 3) To assess English communication skills through interactions within the metaverse. The sample group comprised 120 Grade 4 students from two classrooms in the first semester of the 2024 academic year, selected through cluster random sampling and divided into experimental and control groups. The research instruments included AR media sets, media quality assessment forms, phonics tests, and English communication skills assessment forms, administered before and after the learning intervention. Data analysis employed mean (x ̅), standard deviation (S), t-tests for independent samples, and one-way analysis of variance (Multivariate Analysis of Variance: One-Way MANOVA) to compare mean score differences between the experimental and control groups. Results indicated that the overall quality of the AR media kit with the metaverse was rated at a very high level (x ̅= 4.80, S.D. = 0.12). Evaluating specific aspects showed that the content quality was at the highest level (x ̅= 4.92, S.D. = 0.07), while the media production technique also rated highly (x ̅ = 4.70, S.D. = 0.17). Furthermore, the English pronunciation and communication skills of the Grade 4 students using the AR media with the metaverse were significantly higher after the intervention compared to before, the overall quality of the AR media integrated with the metaverse was rated at the highest level (x ̅= 4.80, S.D. = 0.12). For individual aspects, content quality was rated at the highest level (x ̅= 4.92, S.D. = 0.07), and media production techniques were also rated at the highest level (x ̅ = 4.70, S.D. = 0.17). Comparing the mean scores of English pronunciation and communication skills between the two groups, it was found that the experimental group using AR media integrated with the metaverse demonstrated significantly higher English pronunciation skills than the control group (F(1, 89) = 3261.422, p = 0.001, Partial η² = 0.98). Additionally, the experimental group exhibited significantly higher English communication skills than the control group (F(1, 89) = 4239.365, p = 0.001, Partial η² = 0.98). These results aligned with the research hypothesis that "Grade 4 students’ English pronunciation and communication skills post-learning with AR media integrated with the metaverse would significantly improve compared to their pre-learning levels at the .05 level of significance.

The Designing of 3D-Printed Modular Artificial Reef through Design Thinking Framework: A Case study in Koh Khai, Chumphon Province, Thailand

This study explores the design, production, and installation of 3D-printed modular artificial reefs (3DMARs) at Koh Khai, Chumphon Province, Thailand, through a design thinking framework. Collaborating with SCG Co., Ltd. and the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, the research establishes design criteria and installation methods, utilizing content analysis and qualitative research. Key principles such as modularity, flexibility, environmental sustainability, and usability are identified. The user-centered approach optimizes the 3DMARs for transport and deployment, enabling local community involvement and fostering sustainable practices. The modular design supports scalability, enhancing marine habitats and coral larval settlement. Furthermore, underwater monitoring techniques enable site-specific data collection, allowing for the generation of digital twin models. This research offers a practical framework for marine ecosystem restoration and empowers coastal communities in Thailand and beyond
