Finnish dairy farmers’ perceptions of justice in the transition to carbon-neutral farming
2022
Highlights • Finnish dairy farmers' perceptions of issues with carbon neutrality were examined. • Concerns include farming profitability, farmer blaming, and use of peatlands. • Public policy guidance is needed for carbon-neutral, sustainable agriculture. Environmental and political debate concerning the role of agriculture in sustainability has long been on the agenda. However, owing to climate change, an analysis of the transition to a low-carbon society must also be considered from the perspective of justice. Dairy farming, in particular, faces pressure in this context, when contemplating changing consumer behaviors and reduction in the carbon footprint of dairy products. Accordingly, ma…
Aspetti della produzione dei piccoli ruminanti con impatto sulla salute umana
2011
Negli ultimi anni l’attenzione del consumatore si è sempre più orientata verso le caratteristiche nutrizionali degli alimenti. Queste proprietà sono di grande importanza anche per quanto riguarda le produzioni dei piccoli ruminanti. Il presente lavoro ha lo scopo di riassumere i principali risultati emersi dal progetto di ricerca “Aspetti della produzione dei piccoli ruminanti con particolare impatto sulla salute umana”. Sono stati analizzati mediante i metodi descritti in letteratura: 1) i polimorfismi genetici dei biopeptidi del latte dei piccoli ruminanti; 2) le attività di alcuni enzimi della membrana del globulo di grasso e la frazione lipidica del latte ovino; 3) la qualità nutriziona…
The reactivity of neonatal rabbits to the mammary pheromone as a probe for viability
2012
International audience; Newborn rabbits depend on a daily nursing interaction with the mother to gain milk and to survive. During this interaction, they localise and seize the nipples displaying a typical behaviour triggered by maternal odour cues. The mammary pheromone constitutes such a signal in domestic rabbits: it elicits sucking-related movements in more than 90% of the pups. However, some newborns remain unresponsive to the presentation of the pheromone, even pups apparently healthy and highly motivated to suck. The main goal of the present study was therefore to explore the link between the unresponsiveness of rabbit pups to the mammary pheromone and their growth and survival in bre…
Metoda zmian konkurencyjności Estebana - Marquillasa a specjalizacja regionu na przykładzie produkcji zwierzęcej w Polsce
2016
Analiza składników zmiany (ang. shift-share analysis) jest popularną techniką analizy gospodarek regionalnych. Mankamentem klasycznej analizy zmian strukturalnych jest to, że nie uwzględnia ona relacji pomiędzy konkurencyjnością a efektem zmian strukturalnych. Esteban - Marquillas w 1972 roku zaproponował zmianę klasycznego równania shift- share, wprowadzając kategorię homotetyczną badanego zjawiska, co pozwoliło na uwzględnienie efektu konkurencyjności oraz powiązań między poszczególnymi składowymi. Ta zmiana pozwoliła na oczyszczenie efektu zmian pozycji konkurencyjności z wpływu wszelkich lokalnych zmian strukturalnych. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie analizy składników zmiany i możli…
