Do quality systems really make a difference?

The purposes of this study were to ascertain whether Swedish construction companies measure the impact of their quality systems (such as ISO 9000) and, if so, whether the ‘balanced scorecard’ approach is a useful technique as a measure of performance. The balanced scorecard approach requires each organization to look at itself from four different perspectives to provide a more comprehensive view o

Glutathione peroxidase and selenium in meat - Tissue and species variation, thermal stability and selenium speciation

Lipid oxidation is a major problem in muscle foods, leading to a loss in quality and nutritional value. It occurs in raw meat but is usually more pronounced in cooked meat. Since the demands of consumers for ready-to-eat foods have increased, the control of off-flavour in cooked meat is an important industrial problem. One way of minimising the development of lipid oxidation is to optimise the act

Altered Consciousness in Religion

Broadly defined as such, one can encounter mystical dimensions within all religions of the world. In order to alter consciousness, mystics in different traditions use a variety of techniques – different types of meditation, visualisation, repetitive prayer

Glycoside hydrolases from Rhodothermus marinus Modular organisation and structure-function relationships

The thermophilic bacterium Rhodothermus marinus produces several thermostable glycoside hydrolases. The studies presented in this thesis were performed on two enzymes, belonging to glycoside hydrolase families 10 and 12, produced by this microorganism. The family 10 xylanase, Xyn10A, is modular in architecture consisting of five domains or modules. The two isolated N-terminal modules were produced
