Cold morning(Sagae)

 Stuck in bed. It is the current situation in the morning I woke up. I switch on the air conditioner with the remote control and the room warms up, finally, I start to move. It seems to be the same as my water beetles in my room. When the room is cold, they stay at the bottom of the tank or chink, and less activity. I see they are moving, and start the engine for my day also.

※Actually, It is not good for them because they are exposed to different temperature cycles from the natural environment of the water body.

朝起きると寒すぎて全く体が動かない、という日が続きます。リモコンで暖房のスイッチを入れ部屋が温まるとやっと動き出します。うちのゲンゴロウたちも同じのようです。部屋が冷え切ってると彼らも水槽の底や隙間でじっとしています。そんな彼らが動き出す姿をみて自分も一日の始まりにエンジンをかけています。

※自然環境と違う温度サイクルに晒しているので本当は良くない

HAZARD VS. RISK-BASED APPROACHES TO PROTECTING HEALTH (ERNEST)

                                               HAZARD VS. RISK-BASED APPROACHES TO PROTECTING                             HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT FROM PESTICIDES                                                                      April 2021     What’s the difference between a hazard and risk-based approach? These two approaches are often presented as opposing. However, this is a misrepresentation of risk management. ‘Hazard’ is the potential for a chemical (in this case a pesticide) to cause harm to human health or the environment; Risk , on the other hand , is the probability that the harmful outcome happens. Hazard cannot be separated from risk; it is an integral part of it. Pesticide risk management focuses on reducing the probability (and hence frequency), that people or the  environment will be exposed to pesticides. The hazard-based approach to pesticide regulation is founded on the principle that if an active substance possesses certain hazardous character

Locust as a source of food and feed (Rahima)

I came across a pack of roasted locusts at the store the other day and decided to check their nutritional value and study a bit more about them. Locusts are a type of insect from the family Acrididae . They are known to swarm in huge numbers and can travel great distances, causing considerable damage to crops. However, in many African, Middle Eastern, and Asian countries, locusts are considered a delicacy and eaten in abundance. Locusts are an excellent source of protein and contain a variety of fatty acids and minerals. Although not considered palatable by most Americans and Europeans, locusts are an important food source in many other countries.   According to the book "Insects" by Steve Parker, species of locusts vary in protein content from about 50 percent of dry weight to almost 60 percent, making them denser in protein than cows . Researchers have also noted that the cholesterol content in locusts is high, about 286 milligrams per 100 grams, which is higher than th

Full vaccination（Sagae）

イメージ
We some of the lab members had second vaccination at university. It was so hard situation for me because of side effects. I had heard some news that the side effects of the second vaccine are more serious. It was TRUE. The night after the vaccine, started to increase my body temperature. At midnight temperature already reached 38.5 ℃. And also my bone has pain and "Moderna arm". I could only lay on the bed the whole day by agony. My fever continues till next midnight. I thought my fever had gone down, but then I started to have terrible headaches. Again I spent the time on the bed the whole day. Finally, I recovered fully after 60 hours of vaccination. It was the worst experience in 2021 at least. I wish our painfulness contributes to making the situation better. 大学で二回目のワクチン接種を受けました。結論から言うと、副反応が本当きつかったです。二回目は一回目より副反応がきついと聞いていましたが、その通りです。接種日の夜から熱が上がり始めて、夜中には38.5℃に達しました。きつすぎてベッドに横になる事しかできません。全身の関節は痛むし、モデルナアームも発症しています。次の夜中は明朝まで高熱は続きました。熱が下がったと思ったら次はひどい頭痛です。またベットから動けず一日を過ごします。最終的
