Animal feed is a recognised source of Salmonella enterica for farm livestock and may also indirectly cause infection in people consuming foods of animal origin. It is therefore important to have rapid, reproducible and specific methods for the detection of Salmonella in feed, and for the characterisation of strains for further epidemiological investigations or to trace the source of contamination

The thesis has one aim: to investigate the modernist project for design in Sweden and extract its dominant ideals, with the purpose of discussing it critically. The ideals of the modernist project for design make the social democratic thought manifest. These ideals are interpreted as a socialistic aesthetic. The results of the investigation can be summoned up in the following conclusions: When a c

The text of the Skara Missal Compared to Other Liturgical Sources. A large number of printed sources have been consulted and compared with Skara Missal on a quntitative as well as qualitative basis; individual characteristics as well as the evident concordance with many identical readings have been noted and compiled. On the basis of comparisons of various paryers and prefaces it may first of all

Accurate measurement of bank risk is a matter of considerable importance for bank regulation and supervision. Current practices in most countries emphasize reliance on financial statement data for assessing banks’ risk. However, the possibility of increased reliance on market-based risk indicators has been a topic for academic and regulatory debate for a long time. Market monitoring of bank risk h

This chapter provides a typological profile of Northern Aslian, a subbranch of the Aslian branch of Austroasiatic comprising a number of closely related language varieties spoken in southern Thailand and northern Peninsular Malaysia. It builds on the authors' ongoing field research, as well as available sources. The profile is based on data from most known varieties of Northern Aslian, but draws i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ärftlig brist på vissa proteiner ökar risken för autoimmun sjukdom eller svår hjärnhinneinflammation I blodbanan finns ett 30-tal olika proteiner som ingår i den del av vårt immunförsvar som kallas komplementsystemet. Detta systems huvudsakliga uppgifter är att förinta oönskade inkräktare, såsom bakterier och virus, samt eliminera skadliga proteinkomplex som cirkulerarComplement deficiency is associated with an increased risk for invasive infection and immune complex disease. Screening for identification of complement-deficient patients is essential and a new ELISA-based procedure for detection of complement deficiency is described. Molecular characterization of a complete C4 deficiency and of three phenotypic forms of properdin deficiency is also reported. The

The work presented involved testing of the compression strength of square specimens made from threelayer CLT. In one of the test set-ups a uniform compression over the complete square face of the specimen was used - similar to what is defined in the current European test standard for glued-laminated timber. In addition, several other test set-ups involving loading of only parts of the specimens’ s

Recent research on creativity and aging is described and discussed from different angles, foremost in the psychodynamic and neuropsychological domains. The overall picture is that of a shift from an earlier static or declination model to a more optimistic view of the future role for creativity in the elderly.

REX is a Fortran program for analysis of spectra obtained in PIXE analysis. The underlying model is still under development; however, one year of experience has demonstrated REX’s capability to be a fast reliable tool. The modeling of the different components and effects of the physical model is briefly discussed. Evidence is shown that secondary effects mostly due to Compton-scattering in and aro
