Eco Hvar

Voda bez tragova glifosata, ali nebriga za životinje bode oči!

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

Bilo je burno na Redovnoj skupštini Udruge "Eco Hvar" – za dobrobit ljudi, životinja i okoliša otoka Hvara, a koja se u posljednje vrijeme na nekoliko vrlo čitanih portala bavila prvenstveno temama vezanim za uporabu pesticida kako u javnom, tako i privatnom prostoru.

▪ Vezano uz uporabu raznih otrova od strane stanovništva moguće je djelovati raznim oblicima informiranja, stalno moramo predočavati dostupna saznanja o njihovoj štetnosti do kojih dolaze brojni znanstvenici u međunarodnim neovisnim institucijama. Dobra je vijest da voda iz javne slavine na jelšanskoj Pjaci ne sadrži ostatke glifosata, sastojaka koje sadrže brojni pesticidi – kazala je Vivian Grisogono, predsjednica Udruge.

Naime, lani su krajem ljeta uzeti uzorci vode iz slavine u Jelsi i poslani na analizu u jedan institut u Španjolskoj. Na veliko zadovoljstvo sada su primljeni rezultati koji pokazuju da su uzorci bez tragova glifosata. No, to nije znak da treba bez ikakvog ograničenja i nadalje koristiti sredstva s tim sastojkom, jer su nezavisni instituti EU izrazili ozbiljnju sumnju da su glifosati potencijalno kancerogeni. Srećom, zemljišta na otoku su još toliko živa da se za sada 'uspješno bore' s ostacima otrova. Nadajmo se da će tako biti i nadalje.

Odbačena štenad i mačke

▪ Tijekom prošle godine Udruga se skrbila i o životinjama, jer su ljudi na žalost u tri navrata iz svojih kuća izbacili po sedam štenaca. Pronašli su ih domaći ljudi ili stranci koji su o tome obavijestili Udrugu. Četvero štenaca završilo je u Pitvama, no dobra je vijest da su neki od njih sretno udomljeni, pa čak i u Njemačkoj. Nekoliko stranaca bilo je voljno udomiti ponekog psića, ali to jednostavno nije bilo moguće. Ako čovjek dođe na Hvar avionom i nastavi putovanje, ne možemo očekivati da će sa škoja ponijeti psića – rekla je Grisogono.

Inače, Udruga je uspostavila djelotvornu suradnju s azilom za napuštene životinje u Kaštel Sučurcu koji vrlo dobro vodi doktorica Vesna Filipović. Međutim, jedan od glavnih prioriteta i dalje je projekt izgradnje azila za napuštene pse i mačke na otoku Hvaru. Za tu namjenu Udruga je praktično osigurala zemljište koje je gotovo idealno, a u tijeku je i izrada projektne dokumentacije.

Lina (iz Vrbanja na Hvaru) je našla novi dom u Njemačkoj preko Azila u Kaštel Sučurcu.

Budući da Udruga sva sredstva za svoj rad osigurava isključivo putem donacija članovi vjeruju da će se napokon pronaći i izvori javnih sredstava za aktivnosti koje se tiču zaštite ljudi, okoliša i životinja.

  • Burning wood for power worse for climate than gas equivalent, report finds

    Research casts doubt on plans by UK government to offer subsidies for carbon capture attached to the power source

    Burning wood for power generation can be worse for the climate than burning gas, even when the resulting carbon dioxide emissions are captured and stored, new research has shown.

    The findings cast doubt on plans by several governments, including the UK, to offer subsidies or other financial support for carbon capture attached to wood-burning power.

  • Woman who won legal case over greenhouse emissions awarded top environmental prize

    Sarah Finch is among six recipients of the Goldman Environmental prize, awarded to honour grassroots activists around the world

    The woman whose campaigning set a legal precedent in the UK that stopped thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions has been awarded one of the world’s most prestigious environmental prizes alongside five other women from around the globe.

    A supreme court ruling in a case brought by Sarah Finch has been cited in decisions against new oil concessions in the North Sea, the UK’s first new deep coalmine for 30 years and even plans for new large-scale factory farms.

    Iroro Tanshi, a Nigerian conservation ecologist who launched a successful, community-led campaign to protect endangered bats from human induced wildfires;

    Borim Kim, a South Korean activist who won the continent’s first successful youth-led climate litigation, finding her government’s climate policy to be in violation of the rights of future generations;

    Alannah Acaq Hurley, a leader of the Yup’ik Indigenous people led a campaign that stopped what would have been the continent’s largest open-pit mine, in Alaska’s Bristol Bay region;

    Yuvelis Morales Blanco, a youth activist who mobilised others in her Afro-descendant community in Puerto Wilches against two drilling projects, preventing the introduction of commercial fracking into Colombia;

    Theonila Roka Matbob, of Papua New Guinea, whose campaign forced Rio Tinto, the world’s second-largest mining company, to sign an agreement to address devastation caused by its Panguna mine.

  • Fears more than 1,000 toads may have died after Welsh water firm drains reservoir

    Conservationists in Denbighshire ‘angry and heartbroken’ after Nant-y-Ffrith site emptied during breeding season

    More than 1,000 toads may have died after a reservoir important to the local ecosystem was drained by a water company, conservationists in north Wales have said.

    Volunteers at Wrexham Toad Patrols help toads returning to the Nant-y-Ffrith reservoir on the Llandegla moors in breeding season, this year assisting 1,500 of the amphibians to cross busy roads to help protect the declining species.

  • Electric car sales soar 51% in mainland Europe as Iran war drives up fuel prices

    Data shows 224,000 new EVs were registered in March, with Norway leading way in terms of switching

    Sales of electric cars soared 51% in continental Europe last month, amid a rise in petrol and diesel costs driven by the Iran war.

    Data shows that 224,000 new electric vehicles (EVs) were registered in March, and 500,000 across the first three months of the year – a 33.5% increase on a year earlier, according to analysis of national sales data in 15 countries by New AutoMotive and E-Mobility Europe, a trade body.

  • Fuel eating microbes, chemicals and fire: the race to discover new ways to contain Arctic oil spills

    As the rising number of vessels in the icy waters increases the risk of environmental disaster, scientists are scrambling to find potential solutions

    Last winter, inside the subarctic Churchill Marine Observatory in Canada, scientists embarked on an experiment they hoped would result in a gamechanging remedy for polluted Arctic waters. They released130 litres of diesel into an ice-covered pool filled with raw seawater pumped in from Hudson Bayand added oil-eating microbes. The technique had been used successfully during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and the scientists wanted to see if they could break down oil in colder waters.

    The microbes were sluggish in response and the population showed little change after the first three weeks, says Eric Collins, a microbiologist at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, who led the project. But that did not last. “When we went back eight weeks later, we saw that there was a big change,” Collins says. “One particular bacterium grew to a very high abundance in the tanks and it was clear that it was feeding on the oil.” But two months is too long to wait should an oil spill occur. Time is of the essence.

  • ‘The Moon and The Zoo’: Simon Armitage poem celebrates 200 years of ZSL

    Zoological Society of London commissions poet laureate for animation to mark its 200th anniversary

    Over its two centuries, acclaimed writers and artists have found inspiration at London zoo, from Edwin Landseer’s Trafalgar Square lions, to AA Milne’s naming “Winnie” after resident bear Winnipeg, and Sylvia Plath’s poem Zoo Keeper’s Wife.

    Plath’s husband, Ted Hughes, who would become poet laureate, worked at the zoo briefly as a dish washer, an experience said to have helped fuel his inspiration for The Thought-Fox.

  • Weather tracker: temperatures in Spain and Brazil well above late April norm

    Seville could see 34C this week and parts of Brazil could hit high 30s, while storms forecast in southern Africa

    Over the course of this week, temperatures in Spain are expected to soar well above the seasonal average. Daytime temperatures could reach about 30C in Madrid on Tuesday, 10C above the norm, while Seville may experience 34C, about 9C above its late April average. An area of low pressure situated out in the Atlantic will allow for a south-westerly flow, introducing warm air from north Africa. In addition to this heat, a notable dust plume is expected to travel northwards from the Sahara, covering the skies above Iberia and south-western France, which may lead to some particularly orange or red skies at sunrise and sunset.

    In Brazil, high temperatures are forecast for the states of São Paulo, Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul and Santa Catarina over the next few days, eventually spreading into Minas Gerais. Here, daytime maximum temperatures are expected to reach the high 30s celsius later in the week, about 5-10C above the seasonal average.

  • One Japanese town sorts waste into 40 different categories. How does Australia’s recycling compare?

    Kerbside wheelie bins have been used in Australia since the 1980s but the recycling rate is stuck at 44%. Will another recycling bin make a difference?

    There’s no garbage truck in Kamikatsu.

    Instead, the Japanese town’s 1,400 residents take their waste to the local recycling centre, or “Gomi station”, and sort it themselves into more than 40 different categories.

  • From a Surrey oil well to the supreme court: how an activist changed UK climate law

    Sarah Finch’s fight against drilling led to a landmark ruling on fossil fuel emissions – and a leading environmental prize

    It started with a notice in the local newspaper and ended with winning one of the world’s most prestigious environmental prizes. In 2010, Sarah Finch was flicking through the local planning notices when one caught her eye: a proposal to drill for oil at Horse Hill in Surrey, just outside Crawley, over the border in West Sussex, 6 miles (10km) from her home.

    Surrey is not the kind of place one expects to find the oil industry. It’s a county of little villages, farms, woods and commuter railway stations. Its semi-rural landscape stretches off towards the horizon in a typically English green patchwork. It is difficult to envision it littered with nodding donkey pumpjacks and gas flares.

  • Europe’s last coal – a photo essay

    In Poland, 80,000 people still work in coalmines – the last in the European Union that is fully committed to the energy transition. Once active mines are being converted to other uses, and yet coal is being extracted at record rates worldwide, and with the Iran war pushing up oil and gas prices, some in Poland are asking whether it is worth completely phasing out this fossil fuel

    Coal dust is fine; it seeps into the pores of the skin. That is why a thin black line permanently traces the outline of Rafal Dzuman’s eyes, as if he were wearing makeup. Team leader of the G-2 mining crew, 49-year-old Rafal Dzuman has been descending every day to 700 metres below ground for at least 20 years, at the Murcki-Staszic coalmine in southern Poland. Opened in the mid-17th century and today owned by the Polish giant PGG, the mine sits on the southern outskirts of Katowice, and still extracts about 23,000 tonnes of coal a day.

    Katowice, Poland: Miners exit the lift after working in the coal-mining tunnels at the Murcki-Staszic Mine (PGG Group), located on the southern outskirts of the city. Coal mining began here in 1657; today, the mine’s daily production stands at about 23,000 tonnes

  • Prekomjerna konzumacija soli štetna za pamćenje

    Prema rezultatima nove studije, čini se da veći unos natrija utječe na epizodno pamćenje, vrstu pamćenja koja se koristi za prisjećanje osobnih iskustava i specifičnih događaja iz prošlosti. Valja istaknuti, da ovaj učinak – koji bi mogao uzrokovati da netko zaboravi bilo što, od mjesta gdje je parkirao automobil do prvog dana škole – pojavio se uglavnom među muškarcima.

  • Antihipertenziv obećava protiv MRSA-e otporne na antibiotike

    Infekcije uzrokovane bakterijama otpornim na antibiotike teško je liječiti i odgovorne su za preko 2,8 milijuna infekcija i više od 35.000 smrtnih slučajeva u SAD-u svake godine. Nova studija izvještava da bi lijek koji se koristi za snižavanje povišenog krvnog tlaka mogao biti i osnova obećavajućeg novog liječenja meticilin-rezistentnog Staphylococcus aureusa (MRSA).

  • Svakodnevna konzumacija naranči može promijeniti obrasce lipida kod masne bolesti jetre

    Nedavna objavljena studija procijenila je učinke dnevne konzumacije naranči (400 g dnevno) tijekom 4 tjedna na profile serumskih lipida kod pacijenata s MASLD-om. MASLD, ranije poznat kao nealkoholna masna bolest jetre (NAFLD), stanje je usko povezano s metaboličkim sindromom, visceralnom pretilošću i dijabetesom tipa 2. Svrstava se među vodeće uzroke morbiditeta i transplantacija povezanih s jetrom diljem svijeta, a promjena načina života i intervencija u prehrani ostaju najučinkovitije terapijske strategije.

  • Dob oblikuje napredovanje melanoma i imunološki odgovor

    Rizik od raka povećava se s godinama i često je agresivniji i teži za liječiti kod starijih osoba. Novo istraživanje znanstvenika s Fox Chase Cancer Center, sugerira da se melanom ponaša drugačije s godinama. Podaci su pokazali da je širenje raka bilo najniže kod mladih miševa, vrhunac kod miševa srednje dobi, a opalo kod vrlo starih miševa.

  • Jedna seansa saune mobilizira imunološke stanice u roku od nekoliko minuta

    Novo istraživanje otkriva kako kratka seansa finske saune mobilizira imunološki sustav u roku od nekoliko minuta, nudeći nova saznanja o tome kako izloženost toplini može utjecati na ljudsko zdravlje.

  • Znanstvenici upozoravaju na tihi porast rezistentnih gljivica

    Sve veći broj gljivica postaje otporan na lijekove, što predstavlja ozbiljan rizik za pacijente s oslabljenim imunološkim sustavom. Stoga znanstvenici pozivaju na djelovanje protiv gljivica otpornih na lijekove. Plan uključuje pet koraka - podizanje svijesti, nadzor, sprječavanje i kontrolu infekcija, optimiziranu upotrebu i ulaganja.

  • Popularni AI chatbotovi često daju problematične zdravstvene savjete

    U nedavnoj studiji objavljenoj u stručnom medicinskom časopisu BMJ Open, znanstvenici su revidirali točnost, referenciranje i čitljivost pet popularnih chatbotova vođenih umjetnom inteligencijom (AI) kako bi istražili kako su odgovorili na zdravstvene upite u područjima sklonim dezinformacijama. Studija je koristila 250 upita u pet kategorija sklonih dezinformacijama, a rezultate su procijenila dva stručnjaka za predmetnu materiju u svakoj kategoriji koristeći unaprijed definirane kriterije.

  • Loš san povezan sa smanjenim odgovorom na kemoterapiju putem crijevne mikrobiote

    Nedostatak sna već je dugo poznat po tome što slabi imunološki sustav. Sada su američki znanstvenici s UF Health Cancer Institute došli do zapanjujućeg otkrića, naime, izgleda da crijevna mikrobiota potiče promjene u imunološkom sustavu uzrokovane kroničnim nedostatkom sna. Ove promjene potiču napredovanje raka, remete cirkadijalni ritam i slabe učinkovitost kemoterapije.

  • Uklanjanje beta amiloida ne pokazuje značajan utjecaj na težinu demencije

    Lijekovi koji ciljaju proteine ​​beta amiloida u mozgu vjerojatno nemaju klinički značajne pozitivne učinke, a povećavaju rizik od krvarenja i oticanja mozga, otkrila je analiza 17 studija. Inače, osobe s Alzheimerovom bolešću imaju visoke razine proteina poznatog kao beta amiloida u mozgu, koji se može otkriti prije početka simptoma, ali njegova uloga u napredovanju bolesti nije sigurna. Razvijeni su lijekovi za uklanjanje tih proteina iz mozga, pod teorijom da bi to spriječilo ili usporilo napredovanje bolesti.

  • Semaglutid poboljšava funkciju jetre neovisno o gubitku težine

    Izgleda da semaglutid – aktivni sastojak popularnih lijekova za mršavljenje koji oponašaju crijevni hormon GLP-1 – djeluje izravno na podskupinu stanica jetre kako bi poboljšao funkciju organa i to čini neovisno o gubitku težine. Ovo otkriće dovodi u pitanje dugogodišnje pretpostavke o tome kako GLP-1 lijekovi djeluju u jetri i moglo bi promijeniti način na koji liječnici liječe metaboličke bolesti jetre.
