Environmental actions without protection desire and skills would be vain. The task of education is to create such thirst and motive under the encouragement of the community. For this reason, it is expected to open students' future green new horizons of environmental awareness with teaching methods and research tools which could enhance students' environmental literacy, when largely promoting the low-carbon and energy-saving sustainable life. In this case, it is necessary to deeply understand students' environmental awareness and teach them with strict curriculum mapping and design to reinforce students' environmental competence so as to cope with currently extreme climate change.Aiming at students of Tungfang Design University, Taiwan, total 221 students, as the experimental objects, are preceded computer-aided instruction integrated environmental education. The experimental teaching is preceded 3 hours per week for 15 weeks (total 45 hours). The research results show positive relations between 1.environmental education and learning outcome, 2.learning outcome and environmental literacy, and 3.environmental education and environmental literacy. Suggestions are proposed according to the results, expecting to assist domestic students in enhancing self-development through the awareness of the responsibility for environmental issues. Especially, internationally concerned environmental issues would guide the goal of environmental education to social prospective.
The unfavorable effects of global climate change, which are mostly the result of human activities, have had a particularly negative effect on human health and the planet’s ecosystems. This study attempted to determine the seasonality and association of air pollution, in addition to climate conditions, with two respiratory infections, influenza and pneumonia, in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which has been considered the most polluted city on Earth during the hot season. We used a seasonal-trend decomposition procedure based on loess regression (STL) and a seasonal cycle subseries (SCS) plot to determine the seasonality of the two diseases. In addition, multivariable negative binomial regression (NBR) models were used to assess the association between the diseases and environmental variables (temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, PM2.5, and PM10). The data revealed that influenza had a clear seasonal pattern during the cold months of January and February, whereas the incidence of pneumonia showed a weak seasonal pattern. In terms of forecasting, the preceding month’s PM2.5 and temperature (lag1) had a significant association with influenza incidence, while the previous month’s temperature and relative humidity influenced pneumonia. Using air pollutants as an indication of respiratory disease, our models indicated that PM2.5 lag1 was correlated with the incidence of influenza, but not pneumonia. However, there was a linear association between PM10 and both diseases. This research will help in allocating clinical and public health resources in response to potential environmental changes and forecasting the future dynamics of influenza and pneumonia in the region due to air pollution.
Aerosol science is a scientific field with abstract and figurative characteristics. The object we are facing is extremely tiny matter, but its influence is actually happening to us. Therefore, how to make the general public aware of the basic nature of aerosol science and technology, making effective strategies is an important task for aerosol science researchers. This paper proposes a science education method that uses animation as an informal education method for aerosol science. First, to explore how to deal with the main methods of aerosol science in informal education. Then, the relevant knowledge of aerosol is deconstructed, classified, and then the textbook is constructed by animation. There are a total of forty-two episodes of the animations built, all placed on YouTube. This result is now available for web users to browse and collect user responses for future improvements.
Due to the greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gas emissions, the earth’s climate has changed, which has brought many types of environmental disasters. This study discusses the types of these environmental disasters and explores which financial instruments can be applied to reduce these environmental disasters. This study points out that abnormal climates, temperature rises, sea levels rise, and uneven rainfall distribution have led to intensified earth and rock flows and flood disasters, all of which are environmental disasters caused by climate change. The available financial instruments include environmental taxes, carbon trading, and catastrophe insurance. The implementation and effectiveness of these methods are also discussed in this study.
The global climate change caused by greenhouse effect is the most important thing that everyone is paying attention to today. The use of carbon trading to achieve carbon reductions is a recognized and effective way. However, in the face of complex economic development, there are different regions in the world that have formed a market for carbon trading. This paper proposes a common market mechanism based on the Indo-Pacific region. Under the reality that all member countries in the region have complementary, it is possible to achieve the goal of reducing emissions through carbon trading. First, explain the current carbon reduction trends and major carbon trading markets around the world. These include the region in which the market is located, the benefits of the exchange, the form in which the transaction can be used, and the legal norms that must be in place in actual operation. Secondly, discuss the reduction target strategies of countries and the operating conditions of the carbon trading market. Finally, the integration structure of the multi-country carbon trading market under the IndoChina common market are proposed.
