Azriel, sretna mačka

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

Jedan jadan ulični mačak je našao novi život u Osnovnoj škoji u Starom Gradu.

Paiz, 2024.

 

Bilo je hladno i kišno. Djeca su žurno ulazila u školu. Zvonilo je. Nastava je počela. Jedan dječak trči. To je Dragutin, šestaš koji uvijek kasni. Na ulazu u školsku zgradu ugledao je žutog mačka koji se mokar sklonio od kiše na školskom pragu.

Mačak se uplašio da će ga dječak potjerati i taman kada je htio pobjeći, dječak ga je pogledao u oči i ljubazno šapnuo:”Nemoj nikud ići. Ostani tu dok ne prestane kiša.”

Mačak mu je trepnuo u znak povjerenja, a dječak se sav ozario od dragosti, „odtrepnuo” mu je nazad i otišao u razred. Tog dana dječak nije ni na što drugo mislio osim na žutog mačka i kako mu pomoći. „Sigurno je gladan, i hladno mu je, a pitom je skroz i sigurno mu nedostaje malo ljubavi i pažnje i da ga netko pomazi....

Cijelu noć dječak nije mogao zaspati i jedva je dočekao jutro da svane. Došao je ispred škole prije svih u nadi da će naći mačka, ali nije ga bilo. Otišao je iza škole i ugledao ga. Radost mu je ispunila srce, a osmijeh lice. Dragutin je tog dana sa prijateljima razradio plan da zajedno naprave kućicu za mačka i kasicu prasicu za skupljanje novca za hranu. Mačku su nadjenuli ime Azriel.

Za pomoć u realizaciji tog plana velikodušno su se priključili školski domar Ivan Vranjican, podvornice Lidija Aleši, Marika Matešić i Meri Pavičić, ravnateljica Linda Kuničić i mnogi drugi učitelji i učiteljice, sve redom veliki ljubitelji životinja, a posebno mačaka.

Kućica je napravljena dok si rekao keks, u kasici se skupilo dovoljno za hranu i veterinarski pregled,

Azriel se posve udomaćio i postao pravi školski mačak koji svaki dan jedva čeka da zazvoni veliki odmor...., a Dragutin, on više uopće ne kasni.

Hvala svima koji pomažu svakom biću kojem pomoć treba.

Pozdravlja vas svih i zahvaljuje mačak Azriel, čuvar OŠ Petra Hektorovića Stari Grad!

Eco Hvar zahvaljuje Vinki Šurlin, voditeljici zbora Stella Maris i profesorici u školi što je s nama podijelila ovu dirljivu priču.

Iznenađenje! Nastavak priče - Slobodna Dalmacija 30.09.2024.:

»No, ova priča tu ne završava. Kada je ljeto stiglo, Azriel je pronašao privremeni dom kod susjede Sanje, ali se ubrzo pokazalo da Azriel nije običan ulični mačak. Nakon što ga je boljela šapica, Sanja ga je odnijela veterinaru, a rentgenski pregled otkrio je čip. Istražujući dalje, veterinar je došao do vlasnika iz Hvara, koji su se šokirali saznanjem da je njihov mačak, zapravo imena Cezar, živ.

Obitelj iz Hvara mislila je da je Cezar nestao u listopadu prošle godine i smatrali su da se dogodila najgora moguća sudbina – mislili su da je otrovan ili odnesen. Ispostavilo se da je Cezar proveo gotovo godinu dana u Starom Gradu, gdje je bio voljen i njegovan. Vlasnici su odmah došli po njega, a dirljiv susret završio je suzama radosnicama, kako kod obitelji, tako i kod teta Sanje i školskog kolektiva. Azriel, odnosno Cezar, vratio se svojoj obitelji, no uspomena na njega ostat će zauvijek u srcima svih koji su ga upoznali u školi.«

  • Her research popularised the idea of the wood wide web, but the scientific backlash was brutal. As the author of The Mother Tree returns to the forest in a new book, she discusses her battle to reimagine our relationship with nature

    In 2018, the ecologist and writer Suzanne Simard was conducting research in the forested Caribou Mountains of western Canada when a thunderstorm rolled in. She was with her two teenage daughters and her close friend and colleague, Jean Roach. They saw flashes of lightning, heard a loud rumble and then they smelled smoke. They were forced to run the half kilometre back to Simard’s truck as the trees behind them caught alight and the air grew thick. As they ran, animals burst out of the forest: a deer, a rabbit, a grey wolf. They reached the truck with no time to spare, all four of them covered in soot and dirt. Overhead, helicopters began circling the orange-black air, dropping water on the flames below.

    Wildfires have become an ever bigger problem in Canada. The 2018 wildfires were the biggest in British Columbia’s history, but this record was broken in 2021, and then again in 2023, when fires consumed an area three times the size of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia and the smoke travelled as far as New York City. The cause is not only global heating, which has brought hotter, dryer summers, but also the changing makeup of the forest. When logging companies clear forest, they replant it with fast-growing conifer species, but these trees are much more flammable than Canada’s diverse, native forest.

  • Review from non-profit finds range of scenarios of firms simultaneously lobbying for and against Pfas regulations

    Some top US lobbying firms are simultaneously working both sides of the Pfas “forever chemicals” issue, raising serious conflict of interest questions and concerns that their activity is slowing states’ efforts to rein in the public health threat.

    The review of six states’ lobbying records conducted by the non-profit F-Minus found a range of scenarios in which firms lobbied both sides. Most common Pfas are linked to cancer. The lobbying firm Holland & Knight works for the American Chemistry Council, which represents the nation’s largest Pfas makers, and aggressively opposes most regulations. Simultaneously, Holland & Knight lobbies for the American Cancer Society.

  • Exclusive: Lough Neagh, which supplies drinking water for 40% of NI, contains genes resistant to last-resort antibiotics

    Genes capable of creating antibiotic-resistant superbugs have been detected in the UK’s largest lake, which supplies drinking water to about 40% of Northern Ireland.

    Testing of water from Lough Neagh, which has a surface area 26 times bigger than Windermere, found genes resistant to a wide range of antibiotics, including carbapenems – drugs reserved for life-threatening infections when all other treatments have failed.

  • Ruabon grouse moor, Wrexham: Mating season is upon us. Will I be lucky enough to spot a courtship lek?

    I’m shooting grouse on the moor today. There are two kinds here: red grouse, a gamebird reared and shot in its thousands; and its larger, rarer cousin, the black grouse. The latter is supposedly spared by a ban that remains voluntary despite catastrophic declines in recent decades. As it’s not shooting season, which runs from August to mid-December, I shoulder a camera, not a shotgun, hoping to snap one of these increasingly rare birds.

    Springtime is when black grouse start to breed, so I arrive before dawn, which is when they lek – a courtship dance where they fan their tails, peck and scuffle with their rivals.

  • Carmaker’s decision to drop NissanConnect EV app on relatively recent cars fuels warnings from experts

    Owners of some Nissan Leaf electric vehicles are angry after the carmaker announced it would shut down an app that lets them remotely control battery charging and other functions.

    Drivers of Leaf cars made before May 2019 and the e-NV200 van (produced until 2022) have been told that the NissanConnect EV app linked to their vehicles will “cease operation” from 30 March. This means they will lose remote services, including turning on the heating, and some map features.

  • With anger stoked by Channel 4’s drama Dirty Business, we look at what has happened to some of the main players

    Water companies have been in the public eye for the wrong reasons again recently. South West Water was in the dock pleading guilty to supplying water unfit for human consumption, while the regulator fined South East Water £22.5m for repeated supply failures that affected more than 280,000 people over three years.

    As the full scale of the sewage pollution scandal has been revealed to the public over the past six years, key figures working for the regulators and the privatised companies have been heavily criticised. Channel 4’s drama Dirty Business has focused attention on individuals at the heart of the scandal.

  • In this week’s newsletter: In the wake of the DHS secretary’s firing, staff from the Federal Emergency Management Agency share how her tenure has left the US less able to the respond to the climate crisis

    Donald Trump made his first cabinet-level firing last week when he expelled Kristi Noem. In her one year leading the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Noem sparked widespread criticism for overseeing inhumane immigration policies and avoiding questions about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers’ shooting of protesters in Minneapolis. She even earned the nickname Ice Barbie.

    “Good riddance,” Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey wrote on social media about her ousting.

  • We do not generally get epic tornadoes, sandstorms or avalanches, but we may get splashed by a bus on the road

    Puddles, small and temporary pools of water typically formed by rainfall, hold a special place in British culture. They are the embodiment of the national weather’s tendency to produce mild inconvenience rather than drama. We do not generally get epic tornadoes, sandstorms or avalanches, but we do get wet feet, or splashed by a bus driving through a puddle.

    The story of Walter Raleigh spreading his velvet cloak over a puddle so Queen Elizabeth I could cross while keeping her fine shoes dry is probably apocryphal. But Raleigh’s gallant if pointless gesture is typical of the low-stakes difficulty presented by puddles.

  • Rezultati kliničkog ispitivanja faze 3 koje su vodili znanstvenici Mass General Brigham pokazuju da lijek romiplostim može učinkovito spriječiti kemoterapiju da uništi stanice koštane srži koje proizvode trombocite, čestu komplikaciju poznatu kao trombocitopenija inducirana kemoterapijom. Romiplostim pojačava sposobnost koštane srži da izdrži napad kemoterapije tako da primatelji lijeka mogu nastaviti proizvoditi trombocite koji su potrebni za sprječavanje krvarenja.

  • Kronična bubrežna bolest (CKD) pogađa oko 10 do 12 posto odrasle populacije u Hrvatskoj, ali veliki dio oboljelih toga nije svjestan. Upravo zato je rano otkrivanje presudno – jer kada bolest prepoznamo na vrijeme, njezino napredovanje često možemo znatno usporiti ili zaustaviti, izjavio je prof. dr. sc. Ivan Bubić, predsjednik Hrvatskog društva za nefrologiju, dijalizu i transplantaciju Hrvatskog liječničkog zbora, povodom obilježavanja Svjetskog dana bubrega.

  • Rezultati nove studije pokazuju da dodavanje badema u svakodnevnu prehranu odraslih osoba s pretilošću može poboljšati profile upalnih citokina i kvalitetu prehrane, čak i bez gubitka težine. To ističe jednostavnu prehrambenu strategiju koja može pomoći u rješavanju upale povezane s pretilošću.

  • Švedski znanstvenici identificirali su protein povezan s povećanim rizikom od metastaza i recidiva raka pluća, što otvara put novim pristupima precizne medicine, posebno za starije pacijente.

  • Prvo kliničko ispitivanje koje je izravno usporedilo dva uobičajeno korištena lijeka za liječenje venske tromboze pronašlo je jasnog pobjednika: iako oba lijeka dobro djeluju u sprječavanju ponovnih krvnih ugrušaka, apiksaban je sigurniji od rivaroksabana, s manje komplikacija krvarenja.

  • Raniji početak prvog obroka u danu može promijeniti dnevni ritam glukoze u tijelu i smanjiti razinu glukoze tijekom noći kod gestacijskog dijabetesa, ističući vrijeme obroka kao potencijalni faktor načina života koji vrijedi istražiti u skrbi za trudnoću, ukazuje nova studija.

  • Tretmani antibioticima mogu dugo utjecati na sastav bakterijske zajednice koja živi u crijevima, poznate kao crijevni mikrobiom. Nova studija pokazuje da se određene vrste antibiotika mogu povezati s promjenama u crijevnom mikrobiomu čak četiri do osam godina nakon liječenja. 

  • Crijevni mikrobiom - bilijuni bakterija i drugih mikroba koji nastanjuju gastrointestinalni trakt - pokreće proces ključan za zaštitu debelog crijeva od ozljeda tkiva, pokazuje nova studija. Smatra se, da ovo otkriće ima važne implikacije za razumijevanje kako se može razviti širok raspon crijevnih poremećaja. Naime, ovo istraživanje otvara vrata tretmanima koji se usredotočuju na obnavljanje ključnih molekularnih signala u osjetljivim dijelovima debelog crijeva.

  • Američki znanstvenici otkrili su da novi biomarker na bazi krvi može predvidjeti rizik od razvoja demencije kod žene čak 25 godina prije pojave simptoma. Naime, studija, objavljena u JAMA Network Open, pokazuje da su više razine fosforiliranog tau 217 (p-tau217) - proteina povezanog s promjenama u mozgu koje se vide kod Alzheimerove bolesti - bile snažno povezane s budućim blagim kognitivnim oštećenjem i demencijom kod starijih žena koje su bile kognitivno zdrave na početku, što znači na početku studije prije nego što su otkriveni bilo kakvi problemi s pamćenjem ili razmišljanjem.

  • Vrsta crijevnih bakterija znana kao Roseburia inulinivorans specifično je povezana s ljudskom mišićnom snagom i poboljšanim mišićnim performansama kod miševa, otkriva nedavno objavljeno istraživanje. Naime, pokazalo se, da R. inulinivorans mijenja određene metaboličke procese u mišićima i pretvara mišićna vlakna u brzotrzajuća (tip II) - dizajnirana za kratke intenzivne pokrete, poput sprinta i dizanja utega.
