Owing to the mechanization in agriculture and transport, the number of donkeys reared in Europe was reduced of 50% in the last 20 years and more than 80% since the middle of the last century. During this period, no attention was devoted to the breeding selection and biodiversity conservation, with the results that, nowadays, most of the European breeds of donkey are threatened of extinction. The remaining...
The first ‘Women's Health Initiative’ (WHI) randomised controlled trial assessed use of continuous combined menopausal hormone therapy (cc-MHT). It was prematurely stopped because of an increased invasive breast cancer (BC), coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and pulmonary embolism risk. Consequently, scientific societies recommended use of MHT at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration...
The paper presents the results of studies concerning the availability and possibilities of the use of wood for energy purposes in Europe and in Poland. It describes in detail the current use of wood for energy production purposes, as well as predictions on volume, composition, and sources of energy wood. It also presents the results concerning potential impact of energy wood harvesting on wood industries...
In veterinary medicine, herd-specific vaccines are primarily used in farm animals if traditional vaccines are either unavailable or do not perform as expected. As autogenous products, these vaccines are exempt from Directive 2001/82/EC, and therefore the production and use of herd-specific vaccines are regulated differently in each member state of the European Union (EU). This study is an overview...
The European Energy Crops Overview (EECO) project was carried out with 20 partners from fourteen EU countries during 1996. The EECO-project provides the state-of-the-art on energy crops activities in Europe. More than 30 potential energy crop species have been investigated in Europe, but only a few have achieved commercial status so far. The introduction of energy crops in agriculture is relatively...
