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.

  • ‘Protect the climate for whom?’: Palestinians highlight Gaza at Cop29

    Advocates and officials argue that consequences of Israeli siege are inextricably linked to tackling the climate crisis

    As countries negotiate over climate finance, Palestinian officials and advocates have come to Cop29 in Baku to highlight global heating’s intersection with another crisis: Israel’s siege on Gaza.

    “The Cop [meetings] are very keen to protect the environment, but for whom?” said Ahmed Abu Thaher, director of projects and international relations at Palestine’s Environment Quality Authority, who had travelled to Cop29 from Ramallah. “If you are killing the people there, for whom are you keen to protect the environment and to minimise the effects of climate change?”

  • Slovenian girl, 12, saves project aiming to reintroduce cicadas to New Forest

    Conservationists failed to capture elusive insects this summer, so Kristina Kenda offered to step in

    When British conservationists flew to Slovenia this summer hoping to catch enough singing cicadas to reintroduce the species to the New Forest, the grasshopper-sized insects proved impossible to locate, flying elusively at great height between trees.

    Now a 12-year-old girl has offered to save the Species Recovery Trust’s reintroduction project. Kristina Kenda, the daughter of the Airbnb hosts who accommodated the trust’s director, Dom Price, and conservation officer Holly Stanworth in the summer summer, will put out special nets to hopefully catch enough cicadas to re-establish a British population.

  • Huge election year worldwide sees weakening commitment to act on climate crisis

    Among sweeping rightwing electoral victories across the globe, the ‘big loser of the elections has been climate’

    An unprecedented year of elections around the world has underscored a sobering trend – in many countries the commitment to act on the climate crisis has either stalled or is eroding, even as disasters and record temperatures continue to mount.

    So far 2024, called the “biggest election year in human history” by the United Nations with around half the world’s population heading to the polls, there have been major wins for Donald Trump, the US president-elect who calls the climate crisis “a big hoax”; the climate-skeptic right in European Union elections; and Vladimir Putin, who won another term and has endured sanctions to maintain Russia’s robust oil and gas exports.

    Fourth consecutive year that seals have bred at Orford Ness, where more than 130 pups were born last season

    The first grey seal pup of the season has been born at a remote shingle spit that was once a cold war weapons-testing site.

    The birth at Orford Ness on the Suffolk coast marks the fourth consecutive year of seals breeding there, which began in 2021 after a reduction in visitor access because of the Covid pandemic.

  • ‘I find hope in sticking together and keeping each other warm’ – This is climate breakdown

    When the rain kept coming down, people began to worry. We were afraid the dam up the hill might not hold up. This is Jie’s story

    Location Guangdong, China

    Disaster Extreme rainfall, 2024

    Li Jie lives in Xianniangxi, a mountainous village in southern China’s Guangdong province with her family, where she is a social worker for a rural non-profit organisation and also works in the fields. The climate crisis has increased heavy rainfall in Guangdong and exacerbated floods in the province in April 2024, which have since killed at least 47 people.

  • ‘It’s not drought - it’s looting’: the Spanish villages where people are forced to buy back their own drinking water

    Spain is increasingly either parched or flooded – and one group is profiting from these extremes: the water-grabbing multinational companies forcing angry citizens to pay for it in bottles

    After catastrophic floodsengulfed Valencia last month, killing more than 200 people, it might seem counterintuitive to think about water shortages. But as the torrents of filthy water swept through towns and villages, people were left without electricity, food supplies – and drinking water. “It was brutal: cars, chunks of machinery, big stones, even dead bodies were swept along in the water. It gushed into the ground floor of buildings, into little shops, bakeries, hairdressers, the English school, bars: all were destroyed. This was climate change for real, climate change in capital letters,” says Josep de la Rubia of Valencia’s Ecologists in Action, describing the scene in the satellite towns south of the Valencian capital.

    In the aftermath, hundreds of thousands of people were reliant on emergency tankers of water or donations of bottled water from citizen volunteers. Within a fortnight, the authorities had reconnected the tap water of 90% of the 850,000 people in affected areas, but all were advised to boil it before drinking it or to use bottled water. Across the region, 100 sewage treatment plants were damaged; in some areas, human waste seeped into flood waters, dead animals were swept into rivers and sodden rubbish and debris piled up. Valencia is on the brink of a sanitation crisis.

  • ‘It looked as good as new’: readers share their tips for repairing household items

    From YouTube video guides to sourcing parts, here are some ways to extend the life of your appliances and sentimental items

    One of the best ways we can reduce our household’s carbon footprint is to repair things instead of throwing them away. But it’s also a way of life for many people.

    “Seems I’ve spent most of my life fixing stuff because I was brought up that way,” observes Phil, from Bedfordshire. “I look at everything that comes my way as potentially useful and more often than not, it is,” writes Richard, a designer from Essex.

  • Asheville restores drinking water 53 days after Hurricane Helene – but not all are ready to sip

    Residents concerned as North Carolina city lifts boil advisory and scientists detect lead in water at area schools

    When the western North Carolina town Swannanoa was battered by Hurricane Helene in September, two large trees crushed Stephen Knight’s home. His family of six was launched into a complicated web of survival: finding a temporary home, applying for disaster relief, filing insurance claims.

    The new logistics of living included the daily search for food and water. Until earlier this week, most residents of this town east of Asheville had no drinkable tap water for 52 days. After the storm damaged infrastructure around the region, water had been partly restored in mid-October. It was good for flushing toilets but not safe for consumption. In some places, sediment left the water inky like black tea.

    Doba u kojem živimo obilježeno je sve bržim promjenama koje se name?‡u morskom okolišu, a gotovo za sve odgovorni su ljudi. Obalna zona Sredozemlja, pa tako i našeg Jadranskoga mora,  mjesto je na kojemu obitava više od polovice ukupnog stanovništva Mediterana te zbog toga ovo usko područje predstavlja i jedan od najugroženijih morskih okoliša.

    Gotovo svi su upoznati s činjenicom kako oceani i mora prekrivaju više od 70 % površine Zemlje. Me?‘utim, nedovoljno je prepoznato kako su oceani, mora i obalna područja esencijalni dio Zemljinih ekosustava te kako o njima ovisi cijelo čovječanstvo, bilo na obali ili u dubokoj unutrašnjosti kontinenata!
