Course: Sustainable Development in Health and Ecology

Biomonitoring is the use of bioindicators to assess environmental stress, and it involves monitoring the biological responses of living organisms. Compared to traditional methods, biomonitoring has several advantages, such as …

In this video, Prof Fan explains the concept of bioindicators and how living organisms can be used to assess the health of natural ecosystems. Bioindicators are biological tools that evaluate …

Insecticide is an important tool for controlling mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria. There are different methods of insecticide application, including thermal foggers and ultra-low-volume foggers. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) with …

Monitoring mosquito abundance is crucial for understanding the population dynamics of mosquito species and forecasting transmission risk of mosquito-borne diseases. Several mosquito traps can be used to capture adult mosquitoes, …

Insecticide resistance is a major concern in controlling mosquito populations, as it can lead to the failure of insecticide-based interventions. There are four major mechanisms of insecticide resistance: cuticle modification, …

In this video, professor Chuang discusses the issue of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes, which is a significant challenge for vector control programs. The video starts with the methods used to …

Mosquito-borne diseases are a significant public health concern worldwide, with most of the pathogens being viruses such as flaviviridae and togaviridae, except for malaria, caused by plasmodium species. While yellow …

In this video, Professor discusses the effectiveness and limitations of common disinfectants used to treat drinking water. Chlorine and hypochlorite are the most widely used disinfectants due to their cost-effectiveness, …

Continuing from the previous step, the video displays the SDG action of the project, clean water in Cambodia. TMU’s policy starts with education aspects to support and put SDGs in …

In this video, the morphological differences between male and female mosquitoes are explained, with emphasis on the larger size of female mosquitoes and the bushier appearance of male mosquitoes due …

This week, Prof. Chuang will discuss mosquito ecology and control. Firstly, he highlighted the impact of mosquito-borne diseases on global health, accounting for 17% of the global burden of infectious …

Professor discusses the process of filtration as a means to reduce turbidity in drinking water. Coagulation and sedimentation are first used, but if the turbidity is still too high, filtration …

The first step in water purification is coagulation, which is a destabilizing process where tiny particles in the water coagulate into a large floc. Metal salts, particularly trivalent metal salts …

In this lecture, Professor Lin-Chu Chien discusses Taipei Medical University’s (TMU) efforts toward sustainability and social responsibility. TMU has developed strategies for education, healthcare, research, industry-university collaboration, and supporting underprivileged …

Professor will explain the efforts and initiatives of Taipei Medical University (TMU) to address various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG-2 (zero hunger), SDG-3 (good health and well-being), SDG-6 (clean …
