“…Pigeons are normally considered as food-producing animals in China, some countries of the Western Europe and Southeast Asia, in which case the same restrictions on antimicrobial usages are applied as previously discussed for other food-producing animals (Maron et al, 2013). For these reasons the pigeon industry has also been considered a potential reservoir of resistance-gene-producing Gram-negative bacteria that may be acquired by humans through handling or consumption of contaminated products.…”

“…The negative implication of global warming to human has been acknowledged such as a negative effect to human health [2] as well as to global environment in term of unusual weather and storm, and impact to the plant and animals [3]. The environmental impact of global warming has triggered efforts to reduce emission from the green house gas [4], [5], [6].…”

Abstract. Microalgae have been viewed as one of potential solution for CO 2 biofixation or CO 2 sequestration. However, many factors need to be evaluated to support development of CO 2 biofixation. One important environmental factor for the growth of micro algae is related with light requirement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of light intensity and photoperiod on growth of Chlorellapyrenoidosa (C.pyrenoidosa) and CO 2 biofixation. Experiments were carried out in 1000 mL semi batch photo bioreactors, purged continuously with air (0.034% CO 2 ). An Experiment of Factorial Design was employed in which the light intensity was evaluated 4 level at 2000, 4000, 6000 and 8000 lux with 3 level of photo period at L/D (light /dark) 8 hours/16 hours; L/D 12 hours/12 hours and L/D 16 hours/8 hours. The result indicated that both light intensity and photo period had significant effect (p< 0.05) on growth of C. pyrenoidosa. However, the photo period showed stronger effect relative to light intensity on growth of C.pyrenoidosa within the range reviewed. The interaction between the two factors was indicative but statistically not significant. Best growth profile sustained at combination of L/D 16 hours/8 hours of photoperiod and light intensity of 8000 lux with the highest average biomass observed at 0.516 ± 0.069gr/L. An increase in CO 2 biofixation rate of around 2 times was also observed between highest setting (8000 lux; L/D 16/12 hours) relative to that of lowest setting (2000 lux; L/D 8/12 hours).

“…Environmental contaminants may also produce irreversible epigenetic changes that genetically induce new diseases in the offspring, adding disease burden on future generations (Burgio and Migliore 2014; The Lancet 2013). Long-term negative health outcomes can also be foreseen as a consequence of climate change (Anstey 2013).…”

Degrowth and health: local action should be linked to global policies and governance for health

Volume and increase of spending in the health sector contribute to economic growth, but do not consistently relate with better health. Instead, unsatisfactory health trends, health systems' inefficiencies, and high costs are linked to the globalization of a growth society dominated by neoliberal economic ideas and policies of privatization, deregulation, and liberalization. A degrowth approach, understood as frame that connects diverse ideas, concepts, and proposals alternative to growth as a societal objective, can contribute to better health and a more efficient use of health systems. However, action for change of individual and collective behaviors alone is not enough to influence social determinants and counteract powerful and harmful market forces. The quality and characteristics of health policies need to be rethought, and public policies in all sectors should be formulated taking into consideration their impact on health. A paradigmatic shift toward a more caring, equitable, and sustainable degrowth society will require supportive policies at national level and citizens' engagement at community level. Nevertheless, due to global interdependence and the unavoidable interactions between global forces and national systems, a deep rethinking of global health governance and its reformulation into global governance for health are essential. To support degrowth and health, a strong alliance between committed national and global leaderships, above all the World Health Organization, and a well-informed, transnationally interconnected, worldwide active civil society is essential to include and defend health objectives and priorities in all policies and at all levels, including through the regulation of global market forces.
