Article Review : Paddy field biodiversity in the winter (Arya)

 A long time before I know about winter, I used to think all animal in the winter were hibernate. But, after my research I am realizing every animal have their own mechanism to survive during winter such as freshwater snail. Interestingly, freshwater snail still active during winter such as S. libertina and P. acutaThose species easily found in irrigation canals and paddy field area. How they can survive overwinter? The answer is water. Water become important factor of their survival in the winter. I think not just freshwater snail but also other aquatic animal in the paddy field this system could decrease the biodiversity time by time. I read some article showed that since 2008 Japan committed to protect the biodiversity (Mitsuko Iwai, 2011) mainly in paddy Field. This article mentioned many researches, farmer even NGO did some researches to list the number of living organisms in the paddy field around 5668 include animal, algae, fungi, virus and so on. Now,my research is related to this research to examine some aquatic animals in the irrigation canal because this canal can be a suitable place for some aquatic animals in the rice fields during winter. Anyway, please if you have a time you should read this article:http://www.thinktheearth.net/thinkdaily/report/2011/04/rpt-56.html#page-6 , as this article can give us many hints for protecting the biodiversity.

冬のことを知るずっと前から、冬の動物はすべて冬眠だと思っていました。しかし、私の研究の結果、淡水カタツムリのように、すべての動物が冬の間生き残るための独自のメカニズムを持っていることに気づきました。興味深いことに、S。libertinaやP. acutaなどの淡水カタツムリは冬の間も活動を続けています。これらの種は、灌漑用水路や水田地域で簡単に見つかります。彼らはどのようにして越冬を生き残ることができますか？答えは水です。水は冬の彼らの生存の重要な要素になります。淡水カタツムリだけでなく、水田の他の水生動物もこのシステムによって生物多様性が時間とともに減少する可能性があると思います。 2008年以降、日本は主に水田で生物多様性の保護に取り組んでいることを示す記事を読んだ（岩井光子、2011）。この記事は多くの研究に言及し、農民でさえNGOが、5668年頃の水田の生物の数をリストするためにいくつかの研究を行いました。これには、動物、藻類、真菌、ウイルスなどが含まれます。さて、私の研究は灌漑用水路の水生動物を調べるためのこの研究に関連しています。この水路は冬の水田の水生動物に適した場所である可能性があるためです。とにかく、時間があればこの記事を読んでください。 ：http：//www.thinktheearth.net/thinkdaily/report/2011/04/rpt-56.html#page-6、この記事は生物多様性を保護するための多くのヒントを与えることができるためです。

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

イメージ
                                               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)

イメージ
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
