The Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan Regional Branch of the Ministry of Labor’s Workforce Development Agency has delegated Jiashuo Enterprise Company’s affiliated vocational training center with the task of setting up an intelligent hydroelectric automated control application course. Follwing the three-month intensive training course, participants held a demonstration of their work on Wednesday last week, with 21 participants gathered to see the unveiling of their improved aquaponic system design. They all felt proud of their achievement.
Course instructor Chen Hung-ming said that participants used the skills they had learned to build a multifunctional symbiotic circulatory system based on a fish- and plant-friendly aquaponic system and incorporating additional improvements. The system consists mainly of a three-layer structure. The first level is the upper water layer, which is used to raise crustaceans that require clear water conditions. The second is the nursery layer, designed with germination boxes that employ aeroponic cultivation, which is suitable for growing seedlings or vegetable sprouts. It uses a misting system that regulates the moisture and the timing of irrigation by way of an automatic control mechanism. The third level is the lower water layer, which is designed as a fish-rearing tank.
In addition, on the side there is a “hanging garden” in which plants and vegetables are planted in the water pipes, allowing it to serve either ornamental or agricultural functions.

勞動部勞動力發展署雲嘉南分署委託伽碩企業公司附設職業訓練中心所開辦的「智能水電自動控制應用班」,經過三個月密集訓練課程之後,上週三舉辦成果發表會,二十一位學員齊聚一堂,看到改良設計的魚菜共生設計系統亮相,感到驕傲。
授課老師陳鴻銘表示,學員將所學技能運用在多功能共生循環系統上,以友善魚菜共生系統為基礎並加以改良;系統主要為一個三層的架構,第一層上水層以飼養需清澈水質的蝦蟹類,第二層育苗層設計氣耕種子發芽箱,適合作苗育功能或芽菜類種植,以噴霧式系統透過自動控制裝置以控制水分與給水時間,而第三層下水層則設計為可養殖魚類的飼養池。
此外,在側邊裝置了「空中花園」,以水管管路種植植物、蔬菜,以營造觀賞或農作的功能用途。

An outbreak aboard a cruise ship of a rare rodent-borne illness called hantavirus has left three passengers dead and sickened others, but global health officials say the risk to the general public remains low because the germ does not easily spread between people. “This is not the next COVID, but it is a serious infectious disease,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness at the World Health Organization (WHO). “Most people will never be exposed to this.” The virus usually spreads when people inhale contaminated residue of rodent droppings. Hantaviruses have been around for centuries and are thought to
Have you ever wondered how people navigate the world when they can’t see a map? For individuals with visual impairments, conventional maps are nearly impossible to use. This is where tactile maps come in — essential tools that allow people to “see” the world through touch. A tactile map is specially designed with raised lines, textures, and symbols to represent geographical features such as roads, rivers, and buildings. Users explore it with their fingertips. However, these maps are not exclusively for people with visual disabilities. They serve as valuable multisensory learning tools that enhance spatial understanding for everyone, making
