Black soldier fly and mushroom (Ishikawa)

 

Black soldier fly contributes on decreasing of food waste and can be used as feed for animals. Food waste is, for example unsold packed lunch, vegetable waste and so on. Mushroom also have part removed at food processing. It is called ‘ root waste ‘ generally. Mushroom farmer said root waste can be converted into compost but efficiency is not good because it has high moisture. It is originally part of mushroom we usually eat and contains similar nuturients. Mushroom is a food containing vitamins and has low calory. It means that many amount of root waste can be consumed by bsf larvae.

アメリカミズアブの幼虫は食品残差の処理に貢献し、それを経て成長した個体は動物の餌として利用されます。食品残渣はコンビニ弁当の売れ残り、食品加工の際に出る野菜くずなどのことです。私が興味を持っているきのこにも、加工の際にはじかれる部位があります。それは一般に石突きと呼ばれます。私がお世話になっているきのこ農家さんは、石突きは堆肥化できるが水分含量が高いので効率が悪いと言っていました。しかしそれは元はきのこの一部であり私達が普段口にしているものとほとんど同じ栄養を含んでいます。きのこはビタミン類を多く含んでいる低カロリーな食べ物です。低カロリーということは、言い換えれば、他の食品と比べて多くの量をアメリカミズアブの幼虫に処理してもらえるということではないでしょうか。

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
