Vegan and vegetarianism that becomes an increasing trend day by day is a life style and a life philosophy and a bioethical approach. The reason of choosing for being a vegan/ vegetarian differs according to people’s preferences. These may be; respecting for a living things’ life, taking an ethical position against exploitation of animals, reducing ecological damage, being healthy and religious purposes. Most people believe that the nature and animals just exist for the sake of them. Accordingly, people use and consume them with impunity. Human exploits animals to use them for different kinds of purposes he wishes. While some of them are cared and fed at home (like cats, dogs) some of them are raised at farms for eating or to benefit from their products such as eggs and milk. There are also some other animals to be used for entertaining purposes in circuses or camel wrestling and bull fighting. There are also animals used for their abilities. A police dog can be given as an example. Police dogs are used for their powerful sense of smell that people have not. There have been some traditional practices that include some animals. Other two examples are turkeys being eaten at thanksgiving day and a ram decorated at the Festival of Sacrifice and sent to the fiancée‘s home. On the one hand it is observed that consuming meat of an animal has different meanings in terms of gender considerations. For example, eating meat is viewed as masculine behavior while eating vegetables is feminine. In addition, meat at advertisements is generally symbolized as a woman. These kinds of behaviors, attitudes, beliefs affect development of veganism/ vegetarianism positively or negatively. In this paper, veganism/vegetarianism is described as a life style. Özet Gün geçtikçe sayılarında artış olan vegan ve vejetaryenlik, bir yaşam tarzı, bir hayat felsefesi ve biyoetik bir yaklaşımdır. İnsanların vegan/vejetaryenliği seçme nedenleri farklılık gösterebilir. Bunlar, canlı yaşamına saygı göstermek, hayvan sömürüsüne karşı etik bir duruş sergilemek, ekolojiye verilen zararı azaltmak, sağlıklı olmak ve dini inançlar gibi nedenler olabilir. Birçok insan doğanın ve hayvanların kendileri için var olduğunu düşünmektedir. Dolayısıyla insanlar onları dilediği gibi fütursuzca kullanmakta ve tüketmektedir. Hayvanlar insanların istediği gibi ve istediği şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Kimi hayvanlar sevilip evde beslenirken (kedi, köpek gibi), bazı hayvanlarda çiftliklerde tutulup yenilmek ya da yumurta, süt gibi ürünlerinden yararlanmak için yetiştirilmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra sirklerde; deve ve boğa güreşleri gibi etkinliklerde eğlenmek için kullanılan hayvanlar da bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca yeteneklerinden yararlanılan hayvanlar da vardır. Polis köpekleri bunlara örnek verilebilir. Polis köpekleri insanlarda olmayan keskin koku alma yetenekleri ile insanlar için kullanılmaktadır. Bazı hayvanların dâhil olduğu ve gelenekselleşen pratikler de vardır. Şükran günlerinde tüketilen hindiler, kurban bayramları ve bu bayramda bir koçun süslenerek nişanlı kadının evine gönderilmesi örnek olabilir. Hayvan etinin tüketimine bakıldığında, toplumsal cinsiyet açısından farklı anlamlar içerdiği de görülmektedir. Örneğin et tüketimi erkeksi bir davranış olarak görülmekte iken, sebze tüketimi kadınlara yakıştırılan bir davranış olmaktadır. Bütün bu konular, hayvanların kullanımı, et tüketimi ile ilgili insanların davranış, tutumlar ve inançları vegan/vejetaryenliğin gelişimine etkilemektedir. Bu makalede de sözünü ettiğimiz bu yönleriyle bir yaşam tarzı olarak vegan/vejetaryenlik söz edilmektedir.

Presently water pollution is the one of the major threats faced by living things all over the world. The main cause of water pollution is its effect on the life of aquatic animals. Organic, inorganic, microbial and other pollutants often mix with water bodies mainly due to human activities. Because of the presence of pollutants in water, the amount of dissolved oxygen level can be decreased which in turn affect the survival of aquatic life. The pollutant water may enter the agriculture fields and damage the plants extensively. The methods, such as, coagulation, adsorption, foam floating, electrodialysis, capacitive deionization, etc. are presently employed to treat the waste water. Among these methods, heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation is considered to be a good method because of its low cost and environmental friendliness. In this review, the decontamination of different kinds of organic, inorganic and microbial contaminants in water with different photocatalysts process is presented.

Taking Responsibility

This paper presents a positive philosophy of life developed to support and inspire patients to take more responsibility for their own lives and to draw more efficiently on their known or hidden resources. The idea is that everybody can become wiser, use themselves better, and thus improve quality of life, subjective health, and the ability to function.To be responsible means to see yourself as the cause of your own existence and state of being. To be the one who forms your own life to your liking, so that others do not shape it in the way they prefer to see you. Seen this way, taking responsibility in practice is one of the most difficult things to do. One of the greatest and most difficult things to do in this context is to be able to love. To be the one who loves, instead of being the one who demands love, care, awareness, respect, and acceptance from somebody else.Since almost all of us have had parents who maybe loved us too little and mostly conditionally, we all harbor a deep yearning to be loved as we are, unconditionally. A lot of our energy is spent trying to find recognition and acceptance, more or less as we did as children from our parents, who created the framework and defined the rules of the game. But today, reality is different. We have grown up and now life is about shaping our own existence. So we must be the ones who love. This is what responsibility is all about. Taking responsibility is, quite literally, moving the barriers in our lives inside ourselves. Taking responsibility for life means that you are willing to see that the real barriers are not all these external ones, but something that can be found within yourself. Of course there is an outside world that cannot be easily shaped according to your dreams. But a responsible point of view is that although it is difficult, the problem is not impossible; it is your real challenge and task. If there is something you really want, you can achieve it, but whether it happens depends on your wholehearted, goal-oriented, and continuous attempts. This paper describes the philosophy about seizing the meaning of life and becoming well again, even when there is little time left.

Consumption Habits

The article deals with the problem of analysis of the factors that influence the behaviour and decision-making of consumers when buying beverages. The analysis was based on data about consumer behaviour obtained within the period of 1993–2004. The secondary analysis involved data collected within the framework of a marketing research project SHOPPING MONITOR performed by the marketing agencies INCOMA Research and GfK Prague in years 1999–2002. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that hypermarkets were dominating not only as a place of purchasing foodstuffs in general but also as a leading outlet for sale of beverages. Czech consumers preferred Czech brands of beverages and there was a new trend in increasing purchases of tea, juices and mineral water on the one hand and coffee and wine on the other. This indicates a change in consumption habits and reflects an interest in a healthier life style.

Day By Day

A 67-year-old woman was admitted with aortic valve endocarditis and aortic wall thickening (AWT). Physical examination and laboratory findings yielded infective endocarditis. Echocardiography revealed several small vegetations on the aortic valve, leading to moderate aortic insufficiency together with a small ventricular septal defect. We also became aware of the AWT on and over the aortic root by transesophageal echocardiography (Figure 1). At the one month follow-up period, we also noticed an abscess formation originating from the AWT, which grew into a mature abscess form, day by day (Figure 2). The aortic valve endocarditis, with destruction of the aortic annulus and abscess formation, in this patient, is considered as a grave condition which, essentially, requires an aggressive combined surgical and medical approach. We would like to intimate here with this patient that AWT needs to be considered seriously important in aortic valve endocarditis and, even if the detected vegetations are small, a close follow-up for a possible abscess formation is essential.

While writing the paper which the Council of the Royal Society has recently done me the honour of accepting for the Philosophical Transactions, the abstract of a lecture delivered by Dr. Burdon Sanderson to the association of Medical Officers of Health was placed in my hands. The teem in which the author’s name is justly held will certainly give eight and currency to the views enunciated in this lecture. Speaking: ferments Dr. Sanderson says :—“ In defining the nature of fermentition we are in a dilemma, out of which there is no escape except by compromise. A. ferment is not an organism, because it has no structure. It is not a chemical body, because when it acts upon other bodies it maintains its own molecular integrity. On the whole, it resembles an organism such more than it resembles a chemical body, for its characteristic behaviour is such as, if it had a structure, would prove it to be living. Ten years ago the opponents of spontaneous generation were called Pansperusts, because it was supposed that in the so-called generation equivoca, in very case in which Bacteria appeared to spring out of nothing, the result as referable to the influence of unseen but actually existing germs. The assearches of the last few years have carried us beyond this stage. . . . the outer line of defence, represented by the aphoristic expression omne ivum ex ovo , has been for some time abandoned. The ground which the orthodox biologist holds now, as against the heterodox, is not that every bacterium must have been born of another Bacterium, but that every Bacterium must have been born of something which emanated from another bacterium, that something not being assumed to be endowed with structure in the morphological or anatomical sense, but only in the molecular chemical sense. It is admitted by all, even by Professor Tyndall, that, far as structure is concerned, the germinal or life-producing matter out which Bacteria originate exhibits no characters which, can be appreciated by the microscope; and other researches have proved that the Seminal matter is capable of resisting destructive influences, particularly those of high temperature, which are absolutely fatal to the Bacteria themselves. Germs have given place to things which are ultramicr scopical—to molecular aggregates—of which all we can say is, what we have already said about the ferments, that they occupy the border between living and non-living things.” As directed against “ germs ” the argument that the “ germinal matter is capable of resisting destructive influences which are fatal to the themselves, will, I think, be found on consideration to lack validity Nobody is better acquainted than Dr. Sanderson with the two forms under which the contagium of splenic fever appears. He knows that the one fugitive and readily destroyed, the other persistent and destroyed will difficulty. Now the recent researches of Koch, which have been verified by Cohn, prove conclusively that the difference here referred to is bast upon the fact that the fugitive contagium is the developed organism Bacillus anthracis, while the persistent contagium is the spore of tin organism. Dallinger’s excellent observations also establish a difference between the death-temperatures of monad germs and of adult monads while I need not do more than refer to the forthcoming Part of till Philosophical Transactions for illustrations of the extraordinary differences of the same nature which my recent researches have brought to light.

The biographer, reflecting on the long and manifold life of the Showa Emperor, cannot but be struck by many contrasts. None, perhaps, is greater than that which distinguished the Scholar Emperor and Imperial Biologist, about whom this memoir is written, from His Imperial Majesty the Emperor and Statesman. Many short articles have appeared in illustration of his biological prowess (Egami 1989; Guillain 1989; Hamburger 1962; Kitamura 1988; Komai 1972; Reischauer 1975; Steam 1989; Taku 1972), and there is the early book by Hino (1931). The substantial biographies of the western press, however, treat it as if it had been a pastime (Haas 1975; Mosley 1966; Packard 1987; Sayle 1988; Takeda 1988). It was far more. No amateur could have encompassed and mastered the vast field of nature that he did and have risen to international authority. His enjoyment of biology not only provided comfort and relaxation, as others have remarked, but reflected his confidence in natural science as a means, so dear to his heart, of uniting all mankind. With much greater resources than others, he assembled a biological court of advisers in whom he had implicit trust, and became the first emperor to have devoted his spare time to science. Said to have entered this world alarmingly slight as an infant, he developed the physique and resolution to reign for 62 years, longer than any monarch in history, and he passed away still dwelling on that research. He wore two faces. There was the placid, impassionate, and, even, obedient leader in public regard, and there was the eager intent of the original investigator whether in the field or the laboratory, bent on discovery and understanding. A boy, raised strictly in the aura of the one divinely to ascend the Chrysanthemum Throne, found not respite so much as inspiration in studying the humblest orders of life. Surrounded with beauty and detesting conflict, he was led into the second and most frightful world war, to rescue his country, for the first time in its history, from shattering and abject defeat, by that very humility which his science had nurtured. A dual image has already been ascribed. Takeda compares an arrogant monarchy with the democratization of post-war and modem Japan. Others have contrasted the impassionate emperor with the endearing father who loved his children; and in both regards there is a profound chapter in one of the books of Elizabeth Vining (1970). Neither aspect, however, reveals the true personality which was manifested in that love of nature, respect for all living things, and confidence in the brotherhood of science. So far from being a side-issue, it is a cardinal consideration; it was the force that kept him going through troubled times. In the words of Professor Woodroofe, when we were conversing in Tokyo, Hirohito was a born naturalist who had to be the emperor. In the course of this memoir about one who was both botanist and zoologist, I have kept two questions in mind. What led the young Prince to biology and what was the scientific outcome? Perhaps, the nearest answers have already appeared in the charming reminiscences of Kanroji (1975), written at the age of 96 years after he had served the Imperial Court for 70 years. With Japanese text and splendid illustration, there are the book of the National Science Museum, Tokyo (Anonymous 1988) and those of the Asahi Publishing Company (Anonymous 1989 a ; Senzo 1989).

The One

Lone mothers can be sure of periodic public scrutiny, in part because of their dependence on government welfare payments and their often disastrous financial situation. Dependence on welfare, in particular, is often offered as evidence of their marginalised, disadvantaged status. We argue, in contrast, that being ‘on welfare’ can be seen as a positive opportunity for certain groups of lone mothers at certain periods in their lives. Our research revealed an ambivalence in these women's attitudes towards welfare. On the one hand, they feel various constraints as a result of their dependence on welfare; on the other, however, they feel it also enables them to lead the life-style they prefer. They are unwilling to marry or remain in marriages simply because of the presence of children. They are willing to take responsibility for child care themselves and to abandon or cut back paid employment, at least for a period of time; but they refuse to depend upon a husband's maintenance. In this situation, the state becomes the more acceptable breadwinner.
