This article engages with Rosemary-Claire Collard and Jessica Dempsey’s theory of lively commodities in a discussion of cows raised for dairy exchanged in farmed-animal auctions. Taking their theorization of the lively commodity as a starting point to better understand the commodification of nonhuman life, I propose an extension of this work that attends to a continuum of commodity forms understood through the life and death of the cow. Cows raised for dairy move through the auction yard as a site of capitalist exchange as lively, soon-to-be-dead, and once-living commodities, their value determined by the stage of their life-course and their bodily condition. As such, the auction can be understood as a landscape of life-worlds, where the cow’s liveliness determines her value; and death-worlds and rotting-worlds, where the afterlives of the lively commodity are extracted as capital. Ultimately, the article calls for an upending of the commodification of nonhuman life and a new imaginary of the kinds of life-worlds that are possible beyond logics of capital.

At the Annual Meeting of this Association held at Belfast last July, Sir Frederick Mott gave you an address on the thyroid gland and promised a further contribution with regard to the iodine content. This paper is an attempt to correlate the iodine content with histological structure and with the mental and bodily condition of the patient. I must apologize for the work being far from complete, as most of the time since then has been taken up with the examination of the published methods for the estimation of iodine in the gland, and owing to certain objections to these methods it has been necessary to invent a process without these objections, and which, at the same time, is carried out with a minimum expenditure of time and material.

Experiments were conducted in which two flocks of breeding ewes were grazed on natural pastures containing H. europaeum L. A third flock was grazed on an area on which irrigation water was used to favour germination and early growth of the plant. After the sheep had grazed the plant for the first period, a small proportion, from 1 to 7 per cent., died with damaged livers. After they had again grazed the plant during the following year, the death rate from liver disease rose to 50 per cent. in the exploratory experiment, to 38 per cent. in the first controlled flock experiment, and to 70 per cent. in the second controlled flock experiment. Haematogenous jaundice was present in approximately half the sheep that died. Haemoglobinaemia with haemoglobinuria was present, usually in a mild form, in 31 per cent. of the deaths during the second year of the first controlled experiment, and in 5 per cent. during the second year of the second controlled experiment. In the autumn and spring when the pastures were lush, many of the sheep while in good bodily condition died suddenly without being seen to be sick. Later, most of the deaths were in sheep that had lost condition. Clinical pathological examinations showed that the affected sheep commonly exhibited a fall in haemoglobin and a rise in bilirubin in the blood. Tests showed a fall in prothrombin values. There were indications of a fall in plasma albumen, and also a fall in ability to store glucose. Chemical analyses of livers collected from sheep that died showed the copper concentration to be above normal values, approximately 80 per cent. being over 1000 p.p.m. Histopathological examinations of livers showed that the pathognomonic change was an increase in size of the liver cells associated with their increased death rate and loss of regenerative powers. The changes resulted in an atrophic hepatosis with little replacement fibrosis. There was an accumulation of ceroid in the livers, and a terminal occurrence of inclusion globules in the liver cells. Related field investigations confirmed the findings of the experiments, and showed that the liver damage produced by the consumption of H. europaeum predisposed sheep to the haemolytic crisis of chronic copper poisoning.

The considerable volume of literature dealing with the normal range of blood-sugar values in ruminants and with the effect of varying nutritive conditions upon it is reviewed in some detail. Attention is drawn to differences between ruminant and non-ruminant mammals, and an attempt is made to explain them in the light of present knowledge of digestive processes in the ruminant. Data are presented on the normal range of blood-sugar values in sheep, both in Australia and in England, and on the effect of nutritive factors and of pregnancy on these values. The mean blood-sugar values determined by the author in non-pregnant ewes in Australia and in England were 34.8 ± 3.06 and 39.1 ± 3.37 mg. per cent. respectively. The observed range in both pregnant and non-pregnant ewes was 18-57 mg. per cent., but 94 per cent. of values fell between 25 and 46 mg. per cent. This range was obtained in sheep bled usually in the morning, before feeding. A delayed rise, which is slight and always below hyperglycaemic levels, was observed after feeding; the afternoon samples showed higher values than the morning samples. Thus, the normal range of blood-sugar values in fed sheep, at any time of day, is considered to be 25-50 mg. per cent. The level of blood sugar was affected neither by the plane of nutrition nor by the bodily condition of non-pregnant ewes. Gestation in ewes in good condition was observed not to affect the level, although evidence was obtained of lowered blood-sugar levels during the last two months of gestation in ewes in poor condition. Expressed as a percentage of the pre-fasting level, the decrease in blood sugar observed during a four-day fast was similar to that observed in non-ruminants, but the response was delayed. Fasting for a period of 24 hours had little effect on the blood-sugar level in non-pregnant sheep in good condition; in many cases there was little change after the period had been extended to 46 hours. On the other hand, a fast of 24 hours' duration produced a marked hypoglycaemia in ewes in poor bodily condition during the last two months of gestation, blood-sugar levels as low as 8.6 mg. per cent. being recorded.

Bodily Condition

Abstract Objective Overconsumption of processed foods has led to an increase in chronic diet-related diseases such obesity and type 2 diabetes. Although diets high in fresh fruits and vegetables are linked with healthier outcomes, the specific mechanisms for these relationships are poorly understood. Experiments examining plant phytochemical production and breeding programs, or separately on the health effects of nutritional supplements have yielded results that are sparse, siloed, and difficult to integrate between the domains of human health and agriculture. To connect plant products to health outcomes through their molecular mechanism an integrated computational resource is necessary. Results We created the Aliment to Bodily Condition Knowledgebase (ABCkb) to connect plants to human health by creating a stepwise path from plant $$\rightarrow$$ → plant product $$\rightarrow$$ → human gene $$\rightarrow$$ → pathways $$\rightarrow$$ → indication. ABCkb integrates 11 curated sources as well as relationships mined from Medline abstracts by loading into a graph database which is deployed via a Docker container. This new resource, provided in a queryable container with a user-friendly interface connects plant products with human health outcomes for generating nutritive hypotheses. All scripts used are available on github (https://github.com/atrautm1/ABCkb) along with basic directions for building the knowledgebase and a browsable interface is available (https://abckb.charlotte.edu).

A “scherzo” is a musical piece which traditionally retains the ternary form of the minuet but is considerably quicker. This is a materialist scherzo, since it treats three different authors that are all significantly concerned with the body. John Locke, Carla Lonzi, and Adriana Cavarero present three different modes of narrating sex: the first implicitly, the second explicitly, the third creatively. Cavarero’s relationality, whilst giving a provocatively creative account of orgasm, attributes to sex a grounding function in rethinking the subject. Yet that there is also a political dimension in this carnal account of orgasm. By exploring the possibilities of the given of our bodily condition—an anatomical destination to pleasure that is always relational—this etude defends relational ethics as providing a different perspective on how to imagine social and political forms of co-existence and non-violence, beyond and apart from the naturalized claim to “fundamental hostility.”

Muscular Action

According to recent developments in the theory of muscular action, the average external force exerted during a muscular movement, carried out with maximal effort, may be regarded as equal to a constant theoretical force diminished by an amount proportional to the speed of movement. As a deduction from this, the relation between certain quantities involved in a specified type of muscular exercise can be expressed in the form of a mathematical equation. The equation can then be tested by experiment. Certain kinds of human limb movements have already been subjected to this form of analysis (5), (6), (7), (8). In the present paper is described a similar investigation of the movements of pedalling a bicycle. Consider the case of a subject pedalling a bicyle against a constant resistance. The resistance might be due to a hill of constant slope, or, in the case of laboratory experiments with a bicycle ergometer, to the friction of a band applied to the wheel. Let P be the maximum force (averaged over the whole range of foot movement) that can he exerted by the leg at right angles to the pedal crank when the rate of pedalling is such that one foot movement ( i. e. , half a complete revolution of the crank) is completed in t seconds. Then according to the theory, the relation between P and t should be capable of expression in the form, P = P 0 (1 - k/t ), where P 0 kind k are constants, represents the maximum force that could be exerted at right angles to the pedal crank, and would be attained only if the movement could take place infinitely slowly; while k represents the shortest time in which the movement could be completed, and would be attained only if no external work were done. The constants have a theoretical meaning only, and cannot be measured directly. If the theory holds, they should be characteristic for a given subject in a given bodily condition.

The paper addresses the issue of the corporeal dimension of the learning process. The problem of the material side of education has emerged within the emancipatory education project, but, as will be argued, this was limited to a critique inspired by Marxist tradition. The perspective on the materiality of education offered by Freire’s and Illich’s works can be significantly enriched by contemporary political thought. The latter perceives materiality in its complexity, that is, as economic conditions but also as the inherent needs stemming from our bodily condition. As will be demonstrated, the contemporary reflection could serve as a critique, one on the limited character of Freire’s and Illich’s emancipatory education, as well as providing ideas which might expand their project.
