Dance ‘Becoming’ Knowledge

International audienceIn this article we discuss the possibility of presenting the unique qualities of ‘the body’ in contemporary dance practice through tailored digital choreographic objects. We reflect on some implications of abstraction in cognitive science, and on ‘the body’ as a site of exploration and knowledge in the realm of social, moral, and relational being

A quantitative assessment of the prion risk associated with wastewater from carcase-handling facilities

Wastewater from facilities processing livestock that may harbor transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) infectivity is permitted under license for application to land where susceptible livestock may have access. Several previous risk assessments have investigated the risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) associated with wastewater effluents; however, the risk of exposure to classical scrapie and atypical scrapie has not been assessed. With the prevalence of certain TSEs (BSE in cattle and classical scrapie in sheep) steadily in decline, and with considerable changes in the structure of carcase-processing industries in Great Britain, a reappraisal of the TSE risk posed by wastewater is required. Our results indicate that the predicted number of new TSE infections arising from the spreading of wastewater on pasture over one year would be low, with a mean of one infection every 1,000 years for BSE in cattle (769, 555,556), and one infection every 30 years (16, 2,500), and 33 years (16, 3,333) for classical and atypical scrapie, respectively. It is assumed that the values and assumptions used in this risk assessment remain constant. For BSE in cattle the main contributors are abattoir and rendering effluent, contributing 35% and 22% of the total number of new BSE infections. For TSEs in sheep, effluent from small incinerators and rendering plants are the major contributors (on average 32% and 31% of the total number of new classical scrapie and atypical scrapie infections). This is a reflection of the volume of carcase material and Category 1 material flow through such facilities

El uso de la biomasa, una discusión urgente

Bajo las nuevas propuestas de 'economía verde' destaca el uso energético que se le quiere dar a la Naturaleza, tanto los ya conocidos cultivos para usos energéticos -los agrocombustibles- como también el uso indiscriminado de árboles y residuos vegetales -la biomasa-. Presentamos a modo de una incipiente discusión, la problemática de estos cultivos y usos como fallida o engañosa receta a la crisis climática
