Abstract:

Pests, Diseases and Beneficials helps gardeners to identify and deal with those common insects and small animals (such as bugs, beetles, caterpillars, thrips and mites) that are found in every Australian garden. It offers clear descriptions and full colour images to aid in identifying insects or other organisms, and provides useful advice on how to recognise and treat problems. The book also covers feeding habits, life cycles and insect biology. Based on the 1980 book Friends and Foes of Australian Gardens, this new work has been revised and expanded to include general garden situations as well as Australian native plants, and provides further information on plant diseases, harmless and beneficial fungi, bacteria and viruses, physiological disorders and problems caused by horticultural mismanagement.

Abstract:

Microbiological research has been dominated by studies on pathogenic organisms since the work of Louis Pasteur in the 19th century. Recent research suggests that populations of microbes that live in our digestive, reproductive, and respiratory tracts are as important to our wellbeing as the avoidance and treatment of infection. The average human comprises 40 trillion eukaryotic cells and an accompanying microbiome of 100 trillion bacteria, mostly in the gut, and one quadrillion viruses. In addition to bacteria and viruses, the microbiome contains archaea, plus fungi and other eukaryotic microorganisms. The majority of these microbes are beneficial and only a minority have the potential to cause disease.

Abstract:

Relationships between organisms within urban environments are many and varied. Plants are found in many households, and in addition to the benefits derived from their decorative properties, they also purify the air by removing pollutants. Over the course of history some animals have become domesticated: cows, horses, goats, providing food and transport. Of these, a select group have become companions (cats, dogs, and more exotic pets). Such domesticated and companion animals are an important part of the overall biology of urban environments and these relationships are explored and discussed. Some former companion or domestic animals have become feral, and other animals have never been domesticated and live freely in the urban environment. Some of these animals have beneficial relationships with humans whereas others are parasitic or are considered pests. These relationships are the focus for the later part of the exploration set out in this chapter.

Abstract:

Beginning in the Far East over 2000 years ago the discussion in this chapter charts the movement of species found in contemporary urban environments around the globe. A city is dependent on trade for the resources required by the inhabitants to live and work. Some items of trade are plants and animals, and over time, many species have been introduced intentionally, and many others unintentionally (perhaps as a result of hitching a lift in or on items being traded between countries and continents) to become part of the urban flora and fauna. All the time that such global dispersal has been occurring, some floral and faunal species originally present in an urban area have become locally extinct. These processes of invasion and extinction are controlled by filters and process, and there are certain traits, the possession of which is seemingly beneficial to organisms in urban environments.

Abstract:

Biological Control: Global Impacts, Challenges and Future Directions of Pest Management provides a historical summary of organisms and main strategies used in biological control, as well as the key challenges confronting biological control in the 21st century. Biological control has been implemented for millennia, initially practised by growers moving beneficial species from one local area to another. Today, biological control has evolved into a formal science that provides ecosystem services to protect the environment and the resources used by humanity. With contributions from dedicated scientists and practitioners from around the world, this comprehensive book highlights important successes, failures and challenges in biological control efforts. It advocates that biological control must be viewed as a global endeavour and provides suggestions to move practices forward in a changing world. Biological Control is an invaluable resource for conservation specialists, pest management practitioners and those who research invasive species, as well as students studying pest management science.

Payne, Andrew. The Teleology of Action in Plato's Republic. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198799023.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

This book explores the functional teleology of action present in Plato’s Republic. In many discussions of ancient philosophy, teleology is acknowledged as an important theme: events, actions, and the bodies of organisms in nature have particular characteristics for the sake of some end or purpose. Two varieties of teleology are commonly recognized, the natural teleology of organisms and the intentional teleology of action pursued with the goal of promoting a particular end. This book is devoted to the discussion of a third variety of teleology present in Plato’s Republic. In some cases, actions are carried out for the sake of an end that is not intended as a goal. Such cases arise when the actions in question perform a function that is required for human flourishing. This functional teleology of action is examined first in Plato’s Symposium in relation to the function of eros, giving birth in the beautiful. In Book 1 of the Republic Socrates uses the function of engaging in partnerships as he argues that the just life is more beneficial to a human being than the life of injustice. The functional teleology of action sheds light on further sections of the argument of the Republic: the construction of the best city, the division of the soul, and the defense of justice in Book 4. The intellectual ascent of the guardians through mathematics to the Form of the Good in Books 6 and 7 is examined as a case of acting for the sake of an end that is not intended as a goal.

Abstract:

The book is devoted to the problems of preserving the biodiversity of insects and pollinators through the use of inoffensive methods of agricultural crops cultivating and bio-rational means of protecting them from pests and diseases in an ecological crisis. The results of many years of research on the development of technological processes for obtaining biological preparations based on secondary metabolites of higher plants and microorganisms are presented. Their effectiveness in increasing the resistance of cultivated plants to the influences of abiotic and biotic environmental factors has been shown. The results of plant extracts testing with biopesticidal activity against insects and mites-phytophages and as growth regulators of vegetable and cereal crops are presented. The characteristic features of the interaction of useful fauna organisms and pests of agricultural crops, as well as the possibility of attracting pollinators through the use of semiochemicals are described. The mechanisms of microbiological preparations action and their effectiveness against phytopathogens are revealed. The prospects of biological preparations introducing for a gentle impact on the environment and beneficial insects, as well as obtaining safe food products, have been demonstrated. The book is intended for farmers and beekeepers, and can be used as a teaching aid in various courses on ecology, biology, plant protection and entomology.

Full text

Abstract:

Probiotics are live, non-pathogenic commensal microorganisms with beneficial effects on the host organism; they improve and/or maintain intestinal flora balance by suppressing and displacing harmful bacteria. Prebiotics are nondigestible food components that stimulate growth or activity of these beneficial intestinal bacteria. Such microorganisms form an integral part of the intestinal mucosal defence system and are important for the development and maturation of the infant#amp;#x2019;s gastrointestinal tract. Maternal ingestion of probiotics and prebiotics from dietary sources during pregnancy, or by the infant at weaning, may enhance the development and maturation of the neonatal gastrointestinal tract. Probiotic foods may also help control insulin resistance and the development of gestational diabetes.

Full text

Abstract:

Es habitual comenzar un libro con la historia de la temática que lo involucra. Ya hay numerosos textos muy completos y autorizados cuentan la historia de la radioprotección. Las circunstancias que rodearon los primeros descubrimientos de esa rara forma de energía que motivó el nombre de “X” para los primeros rayos detectados; las consecuencias nocivas que tuvieron para la salud de muchos de los pioneros que desconocían el aspecto perjudicial que conllevaban las radiaciones; la paulatina toma de consciencia de esos efectos perniciosos y el advenimiento de medidas y propuestas para evitarlos. Una obra muy amena y completa es <i>Historia de la radiación, la radiactividad y la radioprotección</i>, de Bo Lindell. Sería redundante desarrollar nuevamente aquí esa historia, y realmente impropio pretender reducirla a un par de páginas. Las aplicaciones y beneficios que se fueron encontrando a lo largo del siglo XX para las radiaciones ionizantes en el campo de la salud fueron tan formidables que el avance fue imparable. En lo que al diagnóstico se refiere, obtener imágenes del interior del organismo desde afuera, era una cosa impensable antes de Roentgen. Por otra parte, el reconocimiento de que el efecto deletéreo de las radiaciones podía implicar su empleo en la destrucción de tejidos malignos marcó sin duda un hito en la forma de hacer frente a enfermedades hasta ese momento consideradas intratables. La medicina de hoy, es impensable sin la utilización de metodologías de alta complejidad, muchas de las cuales emplean radiaciones ionizantes. Esto implica que la radioprotección es un ítem imprescindible en los conocimientos requeridos para los profesionales involucrados en los procedimientos, los médicos y técnicos actuantes y fundamentalmente el físico médico.

Full text

Abstract:

La práctica de actividad física y el deporte de manera regular, adaptada a las capacidades y características individuales de las personas, tiene efectos en la salud orgánica y funcional. Este tipo de actividad no solo reporta beneficios en la dimensión física, sino que también contribuye a mejorar la dimensión psíquica y social en la salud de las personas. La actividad física se define como cualquier movimiento corporal producido por los músculos esqueléticos que exija gasto de energía (OMS, 2014). La actividad física abarca el ejercicio, pero también otras actividades que entrañan movimiento corporal y se realizan como parte de los momentos de juego, del trabajo, de formas de transporte activas, de las tareas domésticas y de actividades recreativas. En tanto el deporte es un tipo de actividad física que involucra el concepto de desempeño, es decir, que la persona pretende realizar la tarea de forma óptima (gimnasia olímpica), en el menor tiempo (natación o atletismo) en el mayor número de veces (encestar en el basquetbol, un gol en el fútbol). La inactividad propia de las generaciones contemporáneas, y el vertiginoso avance tecnológico ha provocado que el tejido muscular, que constituye más del 40% del cuerpo, esté inactivo en un estado denominado sarcopenia que es una disminución en la capacidad funcional del músculo. Las recomendaciones de los organismos encargados de la prevención sanitaria como la OMS y la OPS advierten la necesidad de promover hábitos de vida saludables, a través de la práctica de actividad fiscal, ya que, el movimiento ayuda a las personas a adquirir, mantener o incrementar la salud física y emocional. La actividad física dependerá de la etapa de la vida en la que está la persona: En sus inicios es el juego, en la juventud es el deporte y en la adultez se combinan estas experiencias en diferentes formas de expresión.
