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

Offline Evaluation System for Large Language Models in Designing Thai Expert Systems

The offline evaluation system for Thai-language large language models (LLMs) is designed to enable experts to efficiently test and assess various LLMs without relying on external services. This enhances the flexibility in selecting LLMs that best suit organizational needs or expert systems (ES). The system operates on personal computers, ensuring data security by eliminating concerns about external data storage. Additionally, it supports model testing and development using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), allowing access to domain-specific knowledge for accurate, energy-efficient processing. This ensures that the models can perform optimally and effectively meet the demands of organizations and expert systems.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT THE USE OF THE INTEGRATED FARMING SYSTEM BOARD GAME FOR THIRD-YEAR VOCATIONAL CERTIFICATE STUDENTS AT RATCHABURI COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY

This study aims to develop a board game for teaching Integrated Farming System and to examine the learning achievement of third-year vocational certificate students at Ratchaburi College of Agriculture and Technology who used the board game as a learning tool. The research instruments included a board game developed using the Educational Boardgame Design Canvas. The board game is a strategic planning game consisting of five game boards, and 166 cards categorized into four types: 30 event cards, 60 special action cards, 16 character cards, and 60 production cards. It also includes 180 resource tokens of six kinds: 60 water tokens, 60 soil tokens, 45 plant product tokens, 45 animal product tokens, 45 aquatic product tokens, and 45 currency tokens. Additional components include one die and five player aid sheets. The game emphasizes planning and decision-making in integrated farming to maximize production and achievement points under game conditions and simulated scenarios. Research tools also included pre-and post-tests and a satisfaction questionnaire. The results indicated that students’ average scores significantly increased at the .05 level after using the board game, with the average pre-test score at 6.54 and the post-test score rising to 17.71. Additionally, an analysis of student satisfaction with board game-based learning revealed a high level of satisfaction (mean score = 4.45). The highest-rated aspects were the teacher’s implementation of post-tests (mean score = 4.69) and the engaging and diverse teaching methods used (mean score = 4.66).

Public Park Design Project : Dreamscape Park

The design of Dreamscape Park, a public park covering an area of 50 rai, is based on the concept of ART. The design focuses on preserving green spaces while enhancing functionality to cater to people of all ages. The park features a landmark in the form of a water pond shaped like a drop of ink and a medium-sized amphitheater for various activities. Additional relaxation areas include a café, chill-out seating, outdoor activity zones, and sports facilities such as a basketball court, a takraw court, and walking/running paths around the park. There are also pet zones, children's play areas, gardens at various points, and accessible pathways throughout the area. Users can enjoy a peaceful environment and engage in activities according to their preferences.
