"A philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals." |

"The far right in France is mainly composed of the Rassemblement National. The RN is the new name of the Front National, a political group created by former SS, collaborationists and nazi sympathizers. With that said it seems obvious why the educated majority of France tries to prevent them access to the government. Although the RN is trying to clean its image and is using TikTok to embrigade young and naive people." |

| The Impact Plant-Based Diets Have on Athletic Performance and Body Composition: A Systematic Review |
[Jun. 29th, 2024|06:42 pm] |
Patīkami, kad personīgā anekdote sakrīt ar objektīvo realitāti.
Following a plant-based diet does not harm athletic performance.
Plant-based diets may improve maximal oxygen consumption, vertical countermovement jumps, and relative strength.
There is no evidence that plant-based diets are detrimental to athletic performance or body composition.
The long-term implications and the affect following a plant-based diet has on athletic performance in professional athletes are still unknown.

Zaļās enerģijas pieaugums: 2023. gadā atjaunojamā enerģija veidoja lielāko daļu no ES elektroenerģijas.
https://www.euronews.com/green/2024/06/27/renewables-surge-green-energy-made-up-the-majority-of-eus-electricity-in-2023
un čatsgpt izdomāja piemtināt. nezinu no kurienes viņš to izrāva.
23. gadā Eiropas Savienība piedzīvoja ievērojamu zaļās enerģijas pieaugumu, kad atjaunojamā enerģija kļuva par galveno elektroenerģijas avotu reģionā. Pateicoties intensīvām investīcijām un tehnoloģiskiem sasniegumiem, vēja, saules un hidroenerģija nodrošināja lielāko daļu no ES elektroenerģijas ražošanas. Šis sasniegums ir nozīmīgs solis ceļā uz klimatneitrālu ekonomiku un parāda Eiropas Savienības apņēmību samazināt oglekļa emisijas un atkarību no fosilā kurināmā.
upd. pēc publikas lūguma izkopēšu absolūtos skaitļus, jo acīmredzot lasīt rakstu ir tldr. "Renewable energy was the leading source of electricity in the EU in 2023, according to preliminary data from Eurostat.
Renewables accounted for 44.7 per cent of all electricity production generating 1.21 million Gigawatt-hours (GWh) - a 12.4 per cent increase from 2022. Rapid installation of new solar and wind projects across the bloc has helped push this figure up.
Electricity from fossil fuels overall fell by 19.7 per cent in comparison, contributing 0.88 GWh or 32.5 per cent of the EU’s power." |

Pārsteidzu mazliet sevi. Kārtējais Izskrien Rīgu posms, kas norisinājās Dzegužkalnā. Trase sastāvēja no vieniem vienīgiem kāpumiem un kritumiem, 33 grādi. Pamanījos 10 apļus noskriet 45 minūtēs. Ļoti forši. Pa dienu vēl pamanījos kārtīgi izvingroties darbiņā. Rīt vingrošana jāatkārto, tūlīt jau siltumu slēgs ārā, jāizpriecājas, kamēr ir tāda iespēja. |

| Probiotikas. |
[Jun. 27th, 2024|05:31 pm] |
Kā lai tās, kas šaibās un uz kurām vārās farmakoloģijas nozare (brīvais tirgus ftw), strādā, ja cilvēks apēd tikai mikroorganismus, bet neapēd neko, ko tie nabaga organismi varētu konsumēt. Tās probiotikas, kas ir pārtikā, strādā jau labāk, jo tiek apēsts vismaz nedaudz attiecīgajiem organismiem piemērotās paikas. Attiecīgi pēc antibiotiku lietošanas, lielākajai daļai "labo" mikrobu ir izveikts genocīds, savukārt daļa patogēno izdzīvo, un tad vēl ir tādi multirezistentie, kas 100% izdzīvo. Attiecīgi samest tādā mikrobiomā "labos" mikrobus bez paikas šķiet absolūti bezjēdzīgi, jo "sliktie" parasti ir visnotaļ agresīvi un nez vai ļaus "labajiem" gaidīt labos laikus, kad uzradīsies paika.
Tas, cik svarīgi ir ēst pārtiku, kura satur pēc iespējas daudz un dažādas šķiedrvielas (30 dažādi augi nedēļā), kaut ko fermentētu, kaut ko pa taisno no dārza, šķiet ļoti pašsaprotami, jo nav labāku pro, pre, pos utt biotiku kā tās, kas pārtikā un uz tās. Jo daudzveidīgāka sistēma, jo tā ir stabilāka, tas attiecas arī uz mikrobiomu.
Lūk tā man šodien rādās. |

Introduction: Tryptophan is catabolized by gut microorganisms resulting in a wide range of metabolites implicated in both beneficial and adverse host effects. How gut microbial tryptophan metabolism is directed towards indole, associated with chronic kidney disease, or towards protective indolelactic acid (ILA) and indolepropionic acid (IPA) is unclear.
Methods: Here we used in vitro culturing and animal experiments to assess gut microbial competition for tryptophan and the resulting metabolites in a controlled three-species defined community and in complex undefined human faecal communities.
Results: The generation of specific tryptophan-derived metabolites was not predominantly determined by the abundance of tryptophan-metabolizing bacteria, but rather by substrate-dependent regulation of specific metabolic pathways. Indole-producing Escherichia coli and ILA- and IPA-producing Clostridium sporogenes competed for tryptophan within the three-species community in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, fibre-degrading Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron affected this competition by cross-feeding monosaccharides to E. coli. This inhibited indole production through catabolite repression, thus making more tryptophan available to C. sporogenes, resulting in increased ILA and IPA production. The fibre-dependent reduction in indole was confirmed using human faecal cultures and faecal-microbiota-transplanted gnotobiotic mice.
Conclusion: Our findings explain why consumption of fermentable fibres suppresses indole production but promotes the generation of other tryptophan metabolites associated with health benefits.

"A new report has shed light on the relationship between antibiotic-resistant bacteria, superbugs, and animal farming, particularly on factory farms. The report, published by World Animal Protection, has revealed that UK rivers and waterways are “awash with superbugs.”
Specifically, waterways adjacent to factory farms and “high welfare” outdoor farms were found to contain antibiotic-resistant strains of E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, both of which can cause serious health complications in humans.
The overprescription of antibiotics in medical settings since the drugs were first introduced has led to a sharp uptick in resistant bacteria. Animal agriculture’s misuse of such medications has further exacerbated the issue.
Superbugs are strains of bacteria, viruses, and parasites that are resistant to most widely used antibiotics. This can lead to more severe cases of potentially preventable illnesses, as well as infections that cannot be treated with medication.
Examples include drug-resistant salmonella, campylobacter, tuberculosis, and gonorrhea. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says antimicrobial resistance is an “urgent global public health threat.”" |

Tā viš ir, tepat dažu gaismas minūšu attālumā ir milzīgs reaktors, kurš nerimstoši raida enerģiju, ko mums lietot. Var izdomāt visvisādus iemeslus kāpēc ne, bet rādās, ka nepielūdzami nāksies vien to darīt. Kas arī šķiet loģiski, ņemot vērā cik strauji attīstās saules paneļu efektivitāte un pazeminās to cena.
Ļoti iespējams, ka drīz vien Āfrika sāks ļoti strauji attīstīties, jo tai uzradīsies milzīgs apjoms superlētas elektroenerģijas. Esmu optimisma pilns. Vēl tikai tāds sīkums kā efektīvāki veidi kā uzglabāt enerģiju, bet zinot, cik ļoti homo sapiens ir spējīgs attīstīt un uzlabot jau esošas tehnoloģijas, ilgi nebūs jāgaida. Aiziet!
