Hybridität als Recht : Kreolismus und Anthropophagie in der Literaturwissenschaft

Jahrhunderte lang betonte man die unhistorische Auffassung der Sprachreinheit. Den Mythos der „reinen“ Sprachen zu dekonstruieren, bedeutet, die mythische Verbindung zwischen Muttersprache und Literatur in Frage zu stellen. Vorgeschlagen wird, dem Weg vom sprachlichen Kreolismus zur literarischen Anthropophagie zu folgen. Anthropophagie ist vielleicht die bestmögliche Haltung gegenüber der Globalisierung. Anstatt Angst zu haben vor einer kulturellen Uniformierung sollten wir fremde Einflüsse aufnehmen, wissend, dass wir nachher nie wieder so sein werden wie vorher. Wir brauchen ein neues, anthropophagisches Sprachverhältnis, eines, das akzeptiert, dass alle Sprachen Kreolensprachen sind. Wer die Kreolisierung akzeptiert, verwirft jede Form der absoluten Wahrheit und betrachtet jede Ideologie als vergänglich

The effect of a strict breeding strategy on overall growth and the prevalence of inherited disorders in the double-muscled Belgian Blue beef breed

Muscular conformation is the main breeding goal in the double-muscled (I)M) Belgian Blue beef breed (BBB). In recent years the muscularity has improved enormously, though at the same time the growth rate has decreased and the prevalence of a number of inherited disorders has increased. Professionals working in the cattle breeding industry are encouraging the development of breeding strategies that will increase overall growth and decrease the amount of inherited disorders. One such breeding strategy that was tested in the field neither reduced the prevalence of inherited disorders nor improved overall growth. It can be concluded that breeding strategies should be based more on the relevant genetic values than on the phenotypic values of the parental generation

Evaluation of the epidemiological importance of classical swine fever infected, E2 sub-unit marker vaccinated animals with RT-nPCR positive blood samples

&lt;p&gt;It has been demonstrated that pigs that have been double vaccinated with an E2 sub-unit marker vaccine and that are infected with classical swine fever virus (CSFV) through a natural contact infection may react positive in a CSFV detecting RT-nPCR test, whereas no virus could be isolated by using the conventional virus isolation (VI) technique. To evaluate whether these vaccinated and infected pigs may spread the virus, three experiments were set up. In the first, susceptible pigs were inoculated with serum originating from vaccinated RT-nPCR positive pigs. In the second, vaccinated RT-nPCR positive pigs were brought into contact with sentinel animals. In the third, vertical transmission was evaluated in RT-nPCR positive vaccinated pregnant gilts. In the first two experiments, no proof of virus transmission was found, whereas in the third vertical transmission was observed. The conclusion is that in vaccinated pigs that are positive in RT-nPCR but negative in VI, the level of circulating virus is probably not high enough for horizontal transmission, whereas vertical transmission of the virus is possible.&lt;/p&gt;</p

Antimicrobial use in pigs, broilers and veal calves in Belgium

Given the risks associated with antimicrobial resistance and its link with antimicrobial use, available data on antimicrobial use in the Belgian pig, broiler and veal calf production were compared. Allowing for comparison of the data available from three peer-reviewed scientific articles, the unit of measurement for antimicrobial use was the Treatment Incidence (TI), defined as the number of animals per 1000 treated daily with one 'defined' (DDDA) or 'used daily dose animal' (UDDA). Moreover, extrapolation of farm-level data to national-level data was attempted according to the European Surveillance of Veterinary Antimicrobial Consumption (ESVAC) methodology, to estimate the amount of antimicrobials used in Belgium per species. Although, among the three species, the highest TI was observed in veal calves (TIDDDA=414, TIUDDA=379), based on the extrapolation, it was estimated that most antimicrobials were administered to pigs (159.4 tons). Thus, the most rapid decline in the total use could potentially be achieved by targeting the pig sector. During the process of data collection for comparison and calculation, it became obvious that there is a need for harmonized monitoring programs
