Ekološko stočarstvo i homeopatija, Antun Asaj

Category Knjige o životinjama

Izdavač Medicinska naklada, 2006

Autor u ovoj bogato ilustriranoj knjizi kritički objašnjava aktualnu temu u EU i HR o proizvodnji zdravstveno ispravne hrane animalnog podrijetla bez ostataka lijekova opasnih za ljudsko zdravlje i okoliš. Materija je u skladu s Pravilnikom i ekološkoj proizvodnji životinjskih proizvoda (NN 13,2002.) s naglaskom na zdravstvenu zaštitu, uzgoj i držanje na što prirodnijoj osnovi. Postupci su opisani prema citiranim autorima humane i veterinarske prakse u odnosu na konje, goveda, ovce, koze i svinje kao i na pse kao posebno zanimljive potencijalne pacijente. U nas još ne postoje nužni preduvjeti za uporabu homeopatije u humanoj i veterinarskoj medicini, a homeopatska medicinska praksa još je u začetku za razliku od nekih razvijenih zemalja Europe.

  • Downing Street forces Tony Blair to row back from net zero strategy criticism

    Labour politicians warn former PM had boosted Tory and Reform climate sceptics on the eve of local elections

    Tony Blair has been forced by Downing Street to row back from his criticism of the government’s net zero strategy after furious Labour politicians warned he had given a boost to Tory and Reform sceptics on the eve of the local elections.

    Climate experts also accused the former prime minister of granting political cover to fossil fuel interests and weakening momentum behind the UK’s legally binding target to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

  • Solar panels to be fitted on all new-build homes in England by 2027

    Government to press ahead with net zero plans as Keir Starmer rejects Tony Blair’s criticisms of climate policy

    Almost all new homes in England will be fitted with solar panels during construction within two years, the government will announce after Keir Starmer rejected Tony Blair’s criticism of net zero policies.

    Housebuilders will be legally required to install solar panels on the roofs of new properties by 2027 under the plans.

  • Nature nurture: the Devon estate where rewilding and mental health go hand in hand

    A restoration project at Sharpham near Totnes aims to tackle the loss of the natural world while helping people build mental resilience

    Two landscapes separated by a wide sweep of river tell a story of change. On one side is traditional farmland, close-cropped grazing, uniform grasses, neatly tended hedges and a sparsity of trees, a farmscape ubiquitous across England. On the riverbank opposite, rougher, less uniform grasses grow unevenly between trees, thistle and brambles, in a chaos of natural disorder swaying in the breeze towards the reedbeds below.

    The land on the Sharpham estate side of the River Dart used to be a mirror of the traditional farmscape on the opposite bank. It hosted a non-organic dairy farm and a vineyard, within a tightly controlled 18th-century heritage landscape of deforested parkland.

  • Attenborough at 99: naturalist ‘goes further than before’ to speak out against industrial fishing in new film

    The celebrated presenter warns of ‘modern day colonialism at sea’ as he highlights the destruction caused by overfishing and bottom trawling

    When David Attenborough’s Blue Planet II documentary aired eight years ago, its impact was so strong it was credited with bringing about a revolution in the way people use plastics. Now film-makers are hoping he can do the same for other destructive environmental practices that the world’s best-known living naturalist describes as “draining the life from our oceans”.

    The industrial fishing method of bottom trawling is the focus of a large part of Attenborough’s latest film, Ocean, which airs in cinemas from 8 May, the naturalist’s 99th birthday. In a remarkably no-holds-barred narrative, he says these vessels tear the seabed with such force “the trails of destruction can be seen from space”. He also condemns what he calls “modern day colonialism at sea”, where huge trawlers, operating off the coasts of countries reliant on fish for food and livelihoods, are blamed for dwindling local catches.

  • Arctic plant study reveals an ‘early warning sign’ of climate change upheaval

    A warming tundra has seen unexpected shifts, raising the alarm about fragile ecosystems and those who rely on them

    Scientists studying Arctic plants say the ecosystems that host life in some of the most inhospitable reaches of the planet are changing in unexpected ways in an “early warning sign” for a region upended by climate change.

    In four decades, 54 researchers tracked more than 2,000 plant communities across 45 sites from the Canadian high Arctic to Alaska and Scandinavia. They discovered dramatic shifts in temperatures and growing seasons produced no clear winners or losers. Some regions witnessed large increases in shrubs and grasses and declines in flowering plants – which struggle to grow under the shade created by taller plants.

  • Dying satellites can drive climate change and ozone depletion, study finds

    Aluminium emissions from satellites as they fall to Earth and burn up is becoming more significant as their numbers soar

    Right now there are more than 9,000 satellites circumnavigating overhead, keeping track of weather, facilitating communications, aiding navigation and monitoring the Earth. By 2040, there could be more than 60,000. A new study shows that the emissions from expired satellites, as they fall to Earth and burn up, will be significant in future years, with implications for ozone hole recovery and climate.

    Satellites need to be replaced after about five years. Most old satellites are disposed of by reducing their altitude and letting them burn up as they fall, releasing pollution into Earth’s atmosphere such as aerosolised aluminium. To understand the impact of these growing emissions from expired satellites, researchers simulated the effects associated with an annual release of 10,000 tonnes of aluminium oxide by 2040 (the amount estimated to be released from disposal of 3,000 satellites a year, assuming a fleet of 60,000 satellites).

  • ‘Chipmunks were obsessed with my mics’: the man who recorded a tree for a year

    Joshua Bonnetta spent 8,760 hours recording a pine – then honed it down into a four-hour album full of creatures, cracking branches and quite possibly the sound of leaves growing

    What does a landscape sound like when it’s not being listened to? This philosophical question was a catalyst for film-maker and artist Joshua Bonnetta, who has distilled a year of recordings from a single tree in upstate New York – that’s 8,760 hours – into a four-hour album, The Pines. As Robert Macfarlane writes in his accompanying essay, The Pines is a reminder of the natural world’s “sheer, miraculous busyness”, its “froth of signals and noise”. It is rich with poetic meaning, and resonant amid the climate emergency.

    “It started as a personal thing,” Bonnetta explains from his studio in Munich, where he relocated from the US in 2022. For over 20 years he has made sonic records of places as private mementos, but recent experiments with long-form field recording led him to push himself “to document this place in the deepest way I could”. On a residency in the Outer Hebrides between 2017 and 2019, Bonnetta made the sound installation Brackish, a month-long continuous radio broadcast from a weather-resistant hydrophone – an underwater mic – by a loch. “I started to leave the recorder for a day or two, then it just got longer,” he says. “Amazing things happen when you’re not there to interfere … This allows you a different, very privileged window into the space.”

  • Why effects of Michigan’s ice storm will linger for months, perhaps years

    Climate experts say warming atmosphere from climate change could fuel severe freezing rain and ice storms like the one that hit the upper midwest last month

    Winter has been slow to release its icy grip from the upper midwest this year, and in northern Michigan, its effects will be keenly felt for months, perhaps years.

    A devastating ice storm that hit late last month has left an estimated 3m acres of trees snapped in half or damaged from the weight of up to an inch-and-a-half of ice across the northern part of lower Michigan.
