Whаt is the оnly аbsоlute indicаtiоn for surgery in NEC cases?
Questiоns 14-30. Reаd the fоllоwing pаssаge carefully before you choose your answers.(The following passage is excerpted from a recent nonfiction book.) Four fish, then. Or rather four archetypes of fishflesh, which humanity is trying to master in one wayor another, either through the management of a wildsystem, through the domestication and farming ofindividual species, or through the outright substitution 5of one species for another. This is not the first time humanity has glancedacross the disorderly range of untamed nature andselected a handful of species to exploit and propagate.Out of all of the many mammals that roamed the earth 10before the last ice age, our forebears selected four—cows, pigs, sheep, and goats—to be their principalmeats.1 Out of all the many birds that darkened theprimeval skies, humans chose four—chickens,turkeys, ducks, and geese—to be their poultry. But 15today, as we evaluate and parse fish in this next greatselection and try to figure out which ones will be ourprincipals, we find ourselves with a more complexset of decisions before us. Early man put very littlethought into preserving his wild food. He was in the 20minority in nature, and the creatures he chose todomesticate for his table were a subset of a muchgreater, wilder whole. He had no idea of hisdestructive potential or of his abilities to remake theworld. 25 Modern man is a different animal, one who is fullyaware of his capability to skew the rules of naturein his favor. Up until the mid-twentieth century,humans tended to see their transformative abilities asnot only positive but inevitable. Francis Galton, a 30leading Victorian intellectual, infamously knownas the founder of eugenics but also a prolificwriter on a wide range of subjects includinganimal domestication, wrote at the dawn of theindustrialization of the world’s food system, “It would 35appear that every wild animal has had its chance ofbeing domesticated.” 2 Of the undomesticated animalsleft behind, Galton had this depressing prediction:“As civilization extends they are doomed to begradually destroyed off the face of the earth as 40useless consumers of cultivated produce.” And that brings us to the present day, the crucialpoint at which we stand in our current relationshipwith the ocean. Must we eliminate all wildness fromthe sea and replace it with some kind of human 45controlled system, or can wildness be understoodand managed well enough to keep humanity and themarine world in balance? In spite of the impression given by numerousreports in the news media, wild fish still exist in great 50numbers. The wild harvest from the ocean is now around 90 million tons3 a year. The many cycles and subcycles that spin and generate food are still spinning, sometimes with great vigor, and theyrequire absolutely no input from us in order to 55continue, other than restraint. In cases where grounds have been seemingly tapped out, ten years’ rest has sometimes been enough to restore them to at least some of their former glory. World War II, while oneof the most devastating periods in history for humans, 60might be called “The Great Reprieve” if history were written by fish.4 With mines and submarines ready to blow up any unsuspecting fishing vessel, much of the North Atlantic’s depleted fishing grounds were leftfallow and fish increased their numbers significantly. 65 But is modern man capable of consciously creating restraint without some outside force, like war? Is there some wiser incarnation of the hunter-gatherer that will compel us to truly conserve our wild food, or ishumanity actually hardwired to eradicate the wild 70majority and then domesticate a tiny subset? Can we not resist the urge to remake a wild system, to redirect the energy flow of that system in a way that serves us? 1 principal meats: My summaries of animal breedingand the histories of domestication derive fromTrygve Gjedrem, Selection and Breeding Programsin Aquaculture (New York: Springer, 2005).2 “It would appear that every wild animal”: Francis Galton as cited in Juliet Clutton-Brock, A Natural History of Domesticated Mammals (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1999). In addition to his writing on eugenics, animal domestication, and many other topics, Galton was a cousin of Charles Darwin and is considered to be one of the founders of the school of statistical genetics.3 around 90 million tons: Most of my larger macro-levelfisheries data are drawn from the United Nations Foodand Agriculture Organization’s latest biennial report TheState of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2008, ed. J.-F.Pulvenis de Séligny, A. Gumy, and R. Grainger (Rome:FAO, 2009), http://www.fao.org/docrep/011/i0250e/i0250e00.htm. The marine ecologist Daniel Pauly andothers have repeatedly stressed that the Republic ofChina’s overestimation of aquaculture production andwild catch could significantly skew the overall global datain FAO’s statistics. In particular, Pauly takes issue withthe assessment that aquaculture is now 50 percent of theworld’s seafood supply and warns that the actual numbermay be much lower. While I agree that the data maybe skewed, the trend of the rise of aquaculture isunmistakable. If we have not reached a point of 50%aquacultured seafood by now we surely will reach thatnumber within a decade or two.4 if history were written by fish: The observation thatWorld War II represented a reprieve for groundfish in theNorth Atlantic is based on an interview conducted withDaniel Pauly in the summer of 2005. Other researchers,most notably Jeff Hutchinson at Dalhousie University,disagree on this point. Whether or not a difference ingroundfish numbers before and after World War II canbe quantified, it is nevertheless undeniable that fishingpressure declined during the war and that fishing pressure,globally, increased progressively from 1950 through thepresent day.
