FOOD LOSS AND BSF (ARYA)


Food losses become a problem for all countries around the world. One third of the food is lost for a lot of reasons. Food losses are also responsible for climate change if we do not manage the waste properly. Our laboratory now is concerned about this issue but we never think this will become a problem if we do not have any plan to make the change. Recently, we are developing and researching Black soldier fly (BSF). BSF has become one of our topics for study. Can you imagine how amazing this creature is? This creature size is not big but they can consume a big amount of food. BSF basically is beneficial as they do not spread any diseases even though they consume waste. Our lab has processed more than 100 kg of food waste as feed for BSF Larvae in two months. But this project is just a beginning. We hope we can develop more about the potential of BSF for the communities. 

食糧の損失は、世界中のすべての国にとって問題になっています。 食べ物の3分の1は多くの理由で失われます。 廃棄物を適切に管理しないと、食糧の損失も気候変動の原因になります。 私たちの研究室は現在この問題を懸念していますが、変更を加える計画がなければ、これが問題になるとは考えていません。 最近、アメリカミズアブ（BSF）の開発と研究を行っています。 BSFは私たちの研究トピックの1つになっています。 この生き物がどれほど素晴らしいか想像できますか？ この生き物のサイズは大きくはありませんが、大量の食料を消費する可能性があります。 BSFは、廃棄物を消費しても病気を広めないため、基本的に有益です。 私たちの研究室では、2か月で100kgを超える食品廃棄物をBSF幼虫の飼料として処理しました。 しかし、このプロジェクトはほんの始まりに過ぎません。 コミュニティにとってのBSFの可能性についてさらに発展できることを願っています。

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)

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
