Full textAbstract:
It has been a widely accepted belief in scientific and public discourse at the end of the twentieth century that cannibalism was the principal means of transmission of the disease call 'Kuru'.The study argues that other explanations might have been excluded from consideration, in particular, iatrogenic transmission.Circumstantial evidence in support of this proposition is examined.The work begins with an examination of the relationship between a number of diseases including, X disease, poliomyelitis, louping ill, scrapie and kuru through the first half of the twentieth century. Major themes of the work revolve around the boundary between research on animal and human disease, the complexities of research in this area, and the different messages that exist simultaneously in three domains: scientific research and publications, government and institutional archives, and the public domain. The thesis argues that the circumstantial evidence presented needs to be considered seriously and that further research in the area is required before we can come to a reliable understanding of the factors involved in the transmission of kuru<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Full textAbstract:
Résumé français : Le Kuru est une maladie dégénérative du système nerveux qui tua près de 2500 résidents d'une région située dans le sud des Terres Hautes de l'Est de la Nouvelle -Guinée de 1950 à 1965. Le premier signe de la maladie était un tremblement involontaire qui graduellement s'étendait à tout le corps avec mort en quelques mois. La pathogenèse du Kuru fut expliquée différemment par deux équipes de médecins. Le groupe dirigé par C. D. Gajdusek proposa que le Kuru fut une "nouvelle maladie extrapyramidale" dont la pathologie était du type héréditaire comme la maladie de "Creutzfeldt-(Hans) Jacob". Eventuellement ils proposèrent que le Kuru fût causé par un "virus lent", qui n'était pas un vrai virus. Ce "virus lent" était transmis par "endocannibalisme", c'est-à-dire par des parents qui mangent leurs parents tués par le Kuru. Ces théories méritèrent un prix Nobel pour Gadjusek en 1983 bien que la théorie du "virus lent" fut mise de côté remplacée par la théorie du prion. L'autre équipe constituée de neurologues et neurophatologues professionnels australiens conclut que le Kuru était une maladie dégénérative non-inflammatoire du cervelet dont la cause était probablement toxique. Le mercure (Hg) était haut placé sur les listes comme cause du Kuru mais fut exclu ainsi que d'autres métaux par un examen spectroscopique. Le problème est que cette méthode est inutile pour la détection du Hg parce qu'il est chauffé. Néanmoins l'étude toxicologique fut abandonnée. Aujourd'hui, 52 ans plus tard, la cause du Kuru n'a pas encore été démontrée de façon irréfutable<br>English summary: Kuru is a degenerative disease of the CNS which afflicted the residents in a region of the south of the Eastern Highlands in New Guinea between 1950 and 1965. The patients presented an involuntary type tremor of the extremities which gradually spread to the rest of the body eventually incapaciting the patient until death in a few months. There were no signs on an inflammation. The pathogenesis of Kuru was explained by two groups of physicians. One group led by C. D. Gadjusek proposed that Kuru was a "new type of extrapyramidal disease" with a hereditary type of neuropathology similar to what they called the "Creutzfeld-(Hans) Jacob disease". They proposed that the transmission of Kuru was endocannibalism, that it parents eating dead parents killed by Kuru. They also proposed that Kuru was caused by a "slow virus" which in fact was not a true virus, a theory that was eventually dropped in favor of the prion theory. The other group of physicians consisted of professional Australian neurobiologists and neuropathologists who concluded that Kuru was a non-inflammatory degenerative disease of the cerebellum. To them the most likely cause was toxic, with Hg high on their list. 52 years after the first description of a case of Kuru, ist cause has not been identified irrefutably

Full textAbstract:
Leaders in K-12 education in Hawai'i are increasingly advocating for and utilizing the culture and knowledge of the kānaka Maoli, the native people of these islands, as a context for learning in a variety of curricular disciplines and approaches (Benham & Heck, 1998; Kani'iaupuni, Ledward & Jensen, 2010; Kana'iaupuni & Malone, 2006; Kahakalau, 2004; Meyer, 2004). To expand upon this trend, this thesis uses a combination of autoethnographic and critical indigenous methodologies to present a personal narrative that looks specifically at approaching art education from a Maoli perspective. Through extensive participant/observer reflections, two place-based and culture-based art education experiences are juxtaposed with an experience working on a culturally-based collaborative mural project. Four significant kuamo'o, a concept which holds multiple meanings, including: "backbone, spine; road, trail path; custom, way," (Puku'i & Elbert, 1986), emerge as significant markers of meaningful Maoli-based art education: 1) mo'oku'auhau, genealogy and acknowledgement of those who have come before us, 2) mo'olelo, stories which belong to our place, 3) an idea that I am labeling pili ka mo'o, which literally means, the lizard is intertwined but can be translated through metaphor to mean someone who is intimate and deeply connected, and 4) aloha, a profound and honest love.

Full textAbstract:
Intresset av att ta reda på personers upplevelser inom vård är viktigt. Det kan ge en indikation på vad som skall ändras och om ändringen har inneburit en positiv förändring. Denna ändring kan då mätas i ny uppföljning. En personcentrerad vård är en viktig faktor i vården av svårt sjuka patienter. Denna bygger på kommunikation mellan patient, personal, delaktighet och partnerskap. Bra ledarskap ger förutsättningar för personcentrerad vård samt kan leda till kvalitetsförbättrande åtgärder. Populationen bestod av patienter över 18 år som hade diagnostiserats med ett högmalignt sarkom i mjukdelar eller skelett under perioden 1 januari 2011-31 december 2012. Urvalet bestod av 90 patienter som tillfrågades om att besvara en enkät. Syftet med denna studie var att utvärdera hur patienter med sarkom upplevde vårdkvalitet under hela behandlingsperioden som innefattar operation och eventuell onkologisk behandling samt identifiera eventuella förbättringsområden. För att mäta personers uppfattning om given vårdkvalitet och hur pass viktigt det ansågs vara för patienten har en enkät använts. Enkäten som använts är KUPP (Kvalitet Ur Patientens Perspektiv) och svaren bedöms med hjälp av en skattningsskala. Studien är en deskriptiv retrospektiv studie med kvantitativ ansats. Sextiotre personer har besvarat enkäten där de skattar de faktiska förhållandena i vården och vilken subjektiv betydelse frågan har. Resultatet presenteras i form av ett åtgärdsindex utifrån begreppen: Bristande kvalitet, Balans låg, Balans hög och Övergod kvalitet. Resultatet visade att de områden som patienten upplevde bristfälliga var information, tillfredställelse, väntetider och bemötande. Resultatet visade även att patienterna upplevde brist avseende samarbetet mellan olika vårdinstanser. Slutsatsen visar att det finns ett antal kvalitetsåtgärder att arbeta med framöver och att information och delaktighet från patientens sida är en viktig aspekt. Fler uppföljande studier behövs.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MScAgric)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Although kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) and impala (Aepyceros melampus) are found in the
same geographical area, there is variation in their diets as kudu are predominantly browsers,
feeding on tree and shrub leaves, while impala are known as mixed feeders as they graze
and browse. Therefore this poses the question whether the diet would influence their meat
quality. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the physical measurements and
chemical composition of M. longissimus dorsi, M. biceps femoris, M. semimembranosus, M.
semitendinosus and M. supraspinatus for kudu and impala, two southern African antelope
species. The effects of age (adult and sub-adult) and gender (male and female) were also
determined. The sensory characteristics of the M. longissimus dorsi muscle for sub-adult
kudu and impala were investigated. Correlations between the various physical
measurements and chemical composition of the meat were verified. Physical measurements
and chemical composition of the M. longissimus dorsi muscle were tested for correlations with
the sensory ratings of the meat.
Dressing percentage of impala (59.88%) (n=28) was higher than that of kudu (57.60%) (n=35).
The main effects (species, gender and age) showed no differences for drip loss and cooking
loss. However, muscles differed in terms of cooking loss with impala M. semitendinosus
having the highest (38.28%) value and kudu M. longissimus dorsi having the lowest value
(30.77%). For impala, the highest Warner–Bratzler shear (WBS) values were measured for M.
semimembranosus (5.90 kg/1.27cmø), followed by M. biceps femoris, M. longissimus dorsi,
and M. semitendinosus with the lowest WBS values measured for M. supraspinatus (3.61
kg/1.27cmø). All impala muscles had lower L* values and appeared darker in colour than
kudu muscles, except for M. supraspinatus. Adult animals also had lower L* values than the
sub-adult group. Kudu had significantly higher a* and b* values (more red) than impala.
Chroma values were higher for kudu, thus appearing brighter in colour. The respective
muscles of kudu and impala investigated differed significantly in terms of physical
characteristics. However, gender and age did not have an effect on the physical
measurements.
Moisture content was higher in kudu meat (76.46%) than in impala meat (75.28%). Muscles
differed for both moisture and fat content. The highest fat was found in M. supraspinatus
followed by M. biceps femoris, M. semitendinosus, M. semimembranosus and M. longissimus
dorsi. Protein content did not differ between species (kudu: 21.66%; impala: 22.26%), gender
(male: 21.98%; female: 21.95%) and age groups (adult: 21.74%; sub-adult: 22.18%). Kudu M.
longissimus dorsi (1.62%) had lower fat content than impala M. longissimus dorsi (2.22%) and
female animals had a higher fat content than male animals. Sub-adults (1.20 ± 0.02%) had
higher ash content than adults (1.10 ± 0.03%). The M. supraspinatus had the lowest protein and also the highest fat content, with M. semimembranosus having the lowest fat content but
the highest value for protein.
Myoglobin content did not differ between species, although females had higher (6.58 ± 0.20
mg/g) myoglobin content than males (5.11 ± 0.25 mg/g). Glycolitic muscles had the lowest
myoglobin content with the highest values found in M. supraspinatus, an oxidative muscle.
An interaction was noted between species and muscle for myoglobin content. Myoglobin
content in impala M. longissimus dorsi was higher than that in kudu M. longissimus dorsi;
however for all other muscles the myoglobin content was lower in impala.
Gender did not affect mineral content. Potassium levels were highest for kudu while
phosphorus was more prevalent in impala meat. Adult and sub-adult groups differed in terms
of potassium, calcium and zinc content. Potassium and calcium content were higher for subadult
animals while zinc content was higher in adult animals.
In impala meat, stearic acid (22.67%) was the major fatty acid, followed by palmitic acid
(16.66%). In contrast, oleic acid (24.35%) was the most profuse fatty acid in kudu, followed
by linoleic acid (22.95%). The SFA’s as a percentage of the total fatty acids differed between
impala (51.12%) and kudu meat (34.87%). Kudu meat had a higher concentration of total
PUFA (38.88%) than impala (34.06%) meat. The PUFA: SFA ratio for kudu meat (1.22) was
more favourable than that for impala meat (0.73). The ratio of n-6 PUFA’s to n-3 PUFA’s for
kudu and impala were determined as 2.22 and 3.76 respectively. From the current findings it
is evident that kudu and impala meat have advantageous fatty acid profiles and can be a
healthy substitute for other red meats.
Kudu meat (72.62 ± 1.86 mg/100g) had higher cholesterol than impala meat (55.35 ± 1.84
mg/100g). It is recommended that further studies be done in order to confirm the cholesterol
content of kudu meat.
Within species, no gender differences for any of the sensory characteristics tested were noted.
The impala meat had a more intense game aroma than the kudu meat, while kudu meat was
found to be more juicy than impala meat. It can therefore be concluded that the marketing of
game meat should be species-specific as there are distinct flavour and aroma differences
between kudu and impala meat.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Alhoewel koedoes (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) en rooibokke (Aepyceros melampus) in
dieselfde geografiese area voorkom, is daar variasie in hulle diëte. Koedoes is hoofsaaklik
blaarvreters, terwyl rooibokke bekend staan as gemengde vreters aangesien hulle grassowel
as blaarvreters is. Die vraag ontstaan dus of die verskil in diëet die kwaliteit van hulle
vleis sal beϊnvloed. Die doel van hierdie ondersoek was dus om die fisiese metings en
chemiese samestelling van die M. longissimus dorsi, M. biceps femoris, M.
semimembranosus, M. semitendinosus en M. supraspinatus vir koedoes en rooibokke te
bepaal. Die invloed van ouderdom (volwasse en onvolwasse) en geslag (manlik en vroulik)
op hierdie eienskappe is ook geëvalueer. Die sensoriese eienskappe van die M. longissimus
dorsi van onvolwasse koedoes en rooibokke is ook ondersoek. Korrelasies tussen die fisiese
metings en chemiese samestelling van die vleis is ondersoek. Die fisiese metings en
chemiese samestelling van die M. longissimus dorsi is getoets vir korrelasies met die
resultate van die sintuiglike evaluering van die vleis.
Die gemiddelde uitslagpersentasie van rooibokke (59.88%) (n=28) was hoër as die van
koedoes (57.60%) (n=35). Daar was geen verskille in drupverlies en kookverlies vir die
hoofeffekte (spesie, geslag en ouderdom) nie. Spiere het wel verskil in terme van kookverlies,
met die hoogste waarde gemeet vir rooibok M. semitendinosus (38.28%) en die laagste
waarde vir koedoe M. longissimus dorsi (30.77%). In rooibokke was die hoogste Warner-
Bratzler skeurkrag waardes gemeet vir M. semimembranosus (5.76 kg/1.27cmø), gevolg deur
M. biceps femoris, M. longissimus dorsi, en M. semitendinosus met die laagste Warner-
Bratzler skeurkrag waardes gemeet vir M. supraspinatus (3.78 kg/1.27cmø). Alle
rooibokspiere het laer L* waardes gehad en was donkerder van kleur as koedoespiere,
behalwe vir M. supraspinatus. Laer L* waardes is ook verkry vir volwasse diere in
vergelyking met onvolwasse diere. Die a* en b* waardes was hoër in koedoe- as in
rooibokvleis, m.a.w. koedoevleis het rooier vertoon. Die onderskeie koedoe- en rooibokspiere
het betekenisvol verskil in terme van fisiese eienskappe, terwyl geslag en ouderdom geen
effek op die fisiese eienskappe gehad het nie.
Voginhoud was hoër in koedoe- (75.52%) as in rooibokvleis (74.52%). Verkille tussen spiere
is opgemerk vir beide vog- en vetinhoud. M. supraspinatus het die hoogste vetinhoud gehad,
gevolg deur M. biceps femoris, M. semitendinosus, M. semimembranosus en M. longissimus
dorsi. Geen verskille is opgemerk tussen spesies (koedoe: 21.66%; rooibok: 22.26%),
geslagte (manlik: 21.98%; vroulik: 21.95%) en ouderdomme (volwasse: 21.74%; onvolwasse:
22.18%) in terme van proteϊeninhoud nie. Die vetinhoud van koedoe M. longissimus dorsi
(1.62%) was laer as dié van rooibok M. longissimus dorsi (2.22%) en die vetinhoud van
vroulike diere was hoër as dié van manlike diere. Onvolwasse diere (1.20 ± 0.02%) het ‘n
hoër asinhoud as dié van volwasse diere (1.10 ± 0.03%) getoon. In terme van die onderskeie spiere het M. supraspinatus die laagste proteϊen- en die hoogste vetinhoud gehad, terwyl M.
semimembranosus die laagste vet- en die hoogste proteϊeninhoud gehad het.
Die mioglobieninhoud was nie beϊnvloed deur spesie nie, terwyl vroulike diere ‘n hoër (6.58 ±
0.20 mg/g) mioglobieninhoud as manlike diere (5.11 ± 0.25 mg/g) gehad het. Die M.
supraspinatus, ‘n oksidatiewe spier het die hoogste mioglobieninhoud gehad, terwyl
glikolitiese spiere die laagste mioglobieninhoud gehad het. ’n Interaksie tussen spesie en
spier was opgemerk vir mioglobieninhoud. Rooibok M. longissimus dorsi het ‘n hoër
mioglobieninhoud as koedoe M. longissimus dorsi gehad, terwyl die mioglobieninhoud vir al
die ander spiere laer was in rooibokke.
Mineraalinhoud was nie deur geslag beϊnvloed nie. Kaliumvlakke was hoër in koedoevleis,
terwyl fosforvlakke hoër was in rooibokvleis. Kalium- en kalsiuminhoud was hoër in
onvolwasse diere terwyl die sinkinhoud hoër was in volwasse diere.
Steariensuur (22.67%), gevolg deur palmitiensuur (16.66%) was die mees algemene vetsure
in rooibokvleis. In teenstelling hiermee was oleϊensuur (24.35%), gevolg deur linoleϊensuur
(22.95%) die mees algemene vetsure in koedoevleis. Die totale versadigde vetsure was laer
in koedoevleis (34.87%) in vergelyking met rooibokvleis (51.12%), terwyl die totale polionversadigde
vetsure in koedoevleis (38.88%) hoër was as dié van rooibokvleis (34.06%).
Die verhouding van n-6 tot n-3 poli-onversadigde vetsure vir koedoe en rooibok was 2.22 en
3.76 onderskeidelik. Hierdie resultate bevestig dat koedoe- en rooibokvleis oor ‘n
vetsuurprofiel beskik wat ’n gesonde alternatief bied tot ander rooivleise.
Die cholesterolinhoud van koedoevleis (72.62 ± 1.86 mg/100g) was hoër as dié van
rooibokvleis (55.35 ± 1.84 mg/100g). Dit word egter aanbeveel dat verdere studies gedoen
word om die cholesterolinhoud van koedoevleis te bevestig.
Binne spesies was daar geen geslagsverkille vir enige van die sensoriese eienskappe nie.
Rooibokvleis het ‘n meer intense wildsvleis aroma as koedoevleis gehad, terwyl koedoevleis
meer sappig was as rooibokvleis. Hierdie resultate dui daarop dat die bemarking van
wildsvleis spesie-spesifiiek moet wees aangesien daar defnitiewe geur en aroma verskille
tussen koedoe- en rooibokvleis is.

Vården ska fortlöpande utvecklas, utvärderas och kvalitetssäkras enligt lagar ochförordningar. Nyligen infördes i lag ett ökat patientinflytande. Patientens delaktighet ivården ses som ett medel för att öka patienttillfredställelsen och därmed vårdkvaliteten.Viktiga områden i upplevelsen av god vårdkvalitet är en god vårdrelation med ett gottbemötande, kommunikation, information och delaktighet. Anestesikliniken SÄS, Borås,önskade utvärdera vården på centraloperation utifrån ovanstående områden. Syftet varatt undersöka vårdkvalitet ur patientens perspektiv samt identifiera eventuella områden ibehov av kvalitetsförbättring. En kvantitativ enkätundersökning gjordes där KUPP,Kvalitet ur Patientens Perspektiv, användes som metod. Resultatet visade att vårdenöverlag upplevs som god, bemötandet var det område som fick högst betyg avpatienterna. Endast sju frågor av trettio identifierades ha brister i behov av attuppmärksammas. Dessa frågor handlade alla om delaktighet och information. Enstatistisk jämförelse genomfördes utifrån dessa sju frågor och hur dessa brister förhöllsig gentemot kön, ålder samt oro/rädsla. Skillnader påträffades i två urvalsgrupper;oroliga/rädda patienter upplevde signifikant mindre delaktighet i vården, så ävenkvinnor. Signifikanta skillnader uppvisade även gruppen med oro/rädsla; varannankvinna kände oro/rädsla inför operation mot var tredje man. Resultatet antyder att detfinns en förbättringspotential vad avser patienternas oro och delaktighet i vården därkommunikation och information utgör viktiga inslag. Personalens goda bemötande börvärnas om, det utgör en väsentlig och viktig del för patienterna inför och vid enoperation. Att frigöra mer tid till det preoperativa mötet bör öka det individbaseradeomhändertagandet. Skapas även ökad kontinuitet i vårdandet torde detta ge störreförutsättningar för anestesisjuksköterskan att se, bemöta och tillgodose patienternasbehov.<br>Program: Specialistsjuksköterskeutbildning med inriktning mot anestesisjukvård

Full textAbstract:
<p>This dissertation provides a coherent and an in-depth analysis of Hawai’i tourism’s impact on Nā Kumu, who are considered to be the fabric of Hawai’i society. Nā Kumu was identified to be the teachers of the Kanka Maoli or the Native Hawai’ian culture, which was embedded into community connectivity. The varying perspectives of these teaching practices were examined through transcendental phenomenology and transcription data analyzed according to proximal expressions of invariant elements. Eight Nā Kumu participated in this study, ranging in their degree of practice, community role, how they conceptualized the role of kumu, and what the lived experience of Hawai’i tourism meant to them. These elements led to a greater understanding of how tourism in this state impacts Kānka Maoli societal teachings, which suggests Hawai’i societal policy as the primary control mechanism to how Hawai’i tourism is experienced by Nā Kumu and contributed to Nā Kumu sense of well-being as inhabitants of Hawai’i. The findings may also suggest the cognitive construct of what community connectivity is believed to be according to Nā Kumu values, which impacts their overall sense of well-being. This suggests the cognitive proximal approach of the kumu as either internal or external, which affects their perception of Hawai’i tourism. However, the overall essence of Hawai’i tourism’s impact on Nā Kumu was found to be causal by Hawai’i societal policy because this mechanism ultimately provides regulation and control of a given industry. </p>

Full textAbstract:
Rabies virus (RABV) primarily infects carnivorous terrestrial mammals in Africa. However, in 1977 the first epidemic of rabies in kudu occurred in Namibia. Due to the excessive spread and deaths of kudu, it was suggested that RABV was being maintained within the kudu population in a separate RABV cycle. Previous reports had suggested a massive increase in kudu population numbers – as well as densities - due to the game farming industry in Namibia, leading to a sufficient population threshold to be able to maintain a separate RABV cycle. In 1983 the epizootic ended, with an estimated loss of 30,000 kudu. A second epizootic began in 2002 and is still ongoing. The aims of this study were to lend support to the hypothesis that a separate RABV cycle is being maintained within the Namibian kudu population and that the RABV is adapting to its new herbivorous host. In addition, it was hypothesised that bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) may play a role in the susceptibility of Namibian kudu to RABV infection, due to the immune-suppressive effects of BVDV infection. Thus far, no other studies have determined phylogenetically, over the same spatial and temporal range, whether there is evidence for the separate maintenance of RABV in kudu. Furthermore, detailed molecular analyses were performed in order to determine whether RABVs isolated from kudu were diverging from isolates from canids and whether the mutations were under positive selection, showing selection pressures of the host on the virus. Results showed a clear phylogenetic differentiation of the isolates from canids to those from kudu, with all of the kudu isolates from a variety of geographical ranges clustering in a well-supported cluster, separate from canids from the same geographical ranges. Furthermore, full genome analyses showed several mutations unique (globally) to isolates from kudu, and other mutations separating isolates from kudu to those from jackals in Namibia, as well as several amino acids being under positive selection. Serological analyses of BVDV and RABV suggested no clear correlation between RABV and BVDV exposures, despite a high prevalence of BVDV in Namibia. In conclusion, this study showed strong supporting evidence that a separate RABV cycle is being maintained within the Namibian kudu population independently from any canid cycle. Furthermore, we showed no clear correlation of the immune-suppressive effects of BVDV on the susceptibility of Namibian kudu to RABV infection, despite a high prevalence of BVDV in Namibia.

AbstractThe aim: The aim of the study was to describe what women are most satisfied with in maternity care and if women´s childbirth experiences can be described by means of the QPP-I, who contains 32 statements related to maternity care. Design: The study is part of a national cross-sectional study which lasted for two weeks in Sweden in 2007. This paper analyzes one of the two questions with open answers, which reads: "What was the best with maternity care?”. Results: The results showed that out of a total of 735 responses 717 could be placed in the existing instrument QPP-I. Responses were analyzed by deductive content analysis and the majority 98% of the women's responses was about commitment, empathy and respect from the midwives. The responses (n = 18) who did not fit in QPP-I were then analyzed inductive and focused on team work and sense of coherence. Conclusion: The instrument QPP-I can be developed with additional statement to measure what it intends to measure, women's perceptions of maternity care.

Full textAbstract:
The large-scale epidemic of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the United Kingdom (UK) created significant fears of a possible threat to public health. This threat was realized in 1996 when variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) was first recognized in the UK and was attributed to the oral transmission of BSE to humans. Although the incidence of vCJD is declining the extremely long incubation periods for which genetic effects are clearly important and the unknown prevalence of pre- or sub-clinically infected individuals remain matters of ongoing concern. Such healthy carriers pose a threat of iatrogenic transmission to others during medical and surgical procedures and there have been four cases of transmission of vCJD via blood transfusion. Before vCJD appeared, kuru and iatrogenic CJD provided our experience of acquired prion diseases caused by human-to-human transmission. Kuru reached epidemic proportions amongst the Fore and surrounding linguistic groups in Papua New Guinea, and was transmitted during endocannibalism (transumption) of dead family members at mortuary feasts, a practice that ended in the late 1950s. Study of kuru therefore became of renewed interest with the arrival of vCJD as it comprises not only the largest example of an epidemic human prion disease, but one that is nearly complete, offering a number of insights into key parameters of potential relevance to public health in the UK and elsewhere. The aim of this study is to explain the historical spread and the changing epidemiological patterns of kuru by analyzing factors that affect the transmission of kuru. Although other possible factors are considered, the analysis principally involves the dominant factors of mortuary practices and human genetics. The main thrust of the thesis is on the ethnographic study of mortuary practices, firstly for its primary data, and secondly for its relevance to the transmission of kuru. Though the genetic results of these studies have proven to be of exceptional interest in understanding genetic susceptibility to and selection pressure imposed by the kuru epidemic and have provided new insights into human history and evolution, they do not explain the spatiotemporal epidemiological changes. The mortuary rites and related behaviours constitute the principal outcomes of this thesis and can now satisfactorily explain the spread and changing epidemiological patterns of kuru.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores teachers' beliefs, views and experiences of the design principles of integration, progression and infusion in the Life Orientation (LO) curriculum at the Intermediate Phase level. Integration, progression and infusion are integral to the South Africa Curriculum Statement and the LO curriculum in particular, as they serve the connection, sequence and technique of linking different learning contents. The aims of the study were: (i) to determine to which extent if any can the principles of feminism be used to influence curriculum integration, progression and infusion in the LO curriculum; (ii) to use different theories of feminism to enhance our understanding of curriculum integration, progression and infusion in the LO curriculum; (iii) to determine teachers' beliefs and experiences of curriculum integration, progression and infusion in the LO curriculum. To achieve these aims, on a theoretical level, I synthesised and analysed different theories of feminist discourses into different themes such as location, caring relations, knowing and thinking. These themes were related to the principles of curriculum integration, progression and infusion and these were used as a frame of reference to make suggestions on the various ways to enhance LO teachers' classroom practice of integration, progression and infusion at the Intermediate Phase.
Empirically, I explored the LO teachers' views, beliefs and experiences. Consequently, I situated the study in an interpretative paradigm. I used qualitative research design and methodology with a phenomenological approach, by means of unstructured interviews, classroom observations and focus-group interviews. Three primary schools were purposefully selected for the study. The three principals of the schools were interviewed for the unstructured interviews while nine teachers were interviewed in three focus groups. To strengthen the interviews, I observed nine LO classrooms.
The data that I generated as a result of the study were analysed by means of content analyses. The themes that emerged were categorised into different classes, namely: lack of adequate consultation, learning content repetition, learning content outdatedness, learning content irrelevancy, among others. It was deduced that these themes which formed the participants' experiences of integration, progression and infusion in the LO curriculum were arrived at as a result of their inherent approach which was described as a one-dimensional approach. A one-dimensional approach is that which stipulates a step-by- step approach to the design of curriculum. The Multi-dimensional approach embedded in multiple realities underpinning feminist discourses was suggested as an alternative. A multi-dimensional approach to the design of the curriculum includes the active contribution of various individuals to curriculum design.<br>Thesis (MEd (Curriculum Development))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013

Full textAbstract:
Dagens sjukvård förändras och utvecklas i snabb takt. Vårdtiderna kortas och allt fler ingrepp, mer och mer avancerade, övergår till att utföras under lokalanestesi med vakna patienter. En vaken patient får en upplevelse kring omvårdnaden under ett ingrepp. I vården är tid en bristvara, det kan finnas risk för att mötet mellan patient och sjuksköterska går väldigt fort. För patienten är det av stor betydelse att omhändertagandet blir bra för att upplevelsen under hela ingreppet ska bli så bra som möjligt. Omvårdnad är sjuksköterskans specifika kompetens. En viktig uppgift är att kontinuerligt arbeta med utvärdering och utveckling av olika arbetsmetoder. Att beforska patienters upplevelser inom vården är viktigt, det kan ge en indikation på om det finns behov av förbättring. Alla förändringar bör följas upp och utvärderas. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur vakna patienter under en kardiologisk intervention upplever omvårdnaden. Metoden som användes var en kvantitativ enkätstudie. Instrumentet som användes var Kvalitet ur Patientens Perspektiv (KUPP). Resultatet visar på att respondenterna överlag upplever de faktiska förhållandena som mycket bra. Drygt 70% av respondenterna svarade på frågan om vad de var särskilt nöjda med och det handlade till största del om positivt bemötande. I enkäten påvisades ingen brist som kräver åtgärd men i förbättringsförslag framkom önskemål om varma filtar vilket åtgärdats. Slutsatsen är att vakna patienter som genomgår en kardiologisk intervention är nöjda med omvårdnaden och omhändertagande under hela ingreppet. Studiens resultat är begränsat till den utvalda patientgruppen av polikliniska stabila svensktalande kardiologiska patienter. För att kunna dra mer generella slutsatser krävs ett större underlag med studier av andra patientgrupper.<br>The health care of today is rapidly changing and developing. An increasing number of interventions, more and more advanced, are performed during local, instead of general anaesthesia, whereby inpatient times are reduced. The patients are awake and aware of the surrounding activities, including nursing. With time in short supply, the meeting between patient and nurse may go very quickly, which might be hazardous. In order to maintain a good patient experience during the procedure, it is important that the nursing care is not set aside. Nursing is the specific competence of the registered nurses, who must work continuously with development and evaluation of the quality of different working methods. Investigating patient experiences in health care is important, in order to high-light needs for improvement. Any changes should be followed-up and evaluated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the experience of nursing during a cardiological intervention in awake patients. The method used was a quantitative survey study. The instrument was Quality from the Patient's Perspective, (KUPP). The results show that patients generally experience the investigated conditions as very good. The free-text question asking for particularly positive experiences was answered by 70% of the patients, mainly high-lighting good care-giving conduct. The questionnaire did not reveal any significant shortcomings requiring to be acted upon, although a free-text answer proposing warm blankets has been addressed. The conclusion of the study is that awake patients undergoing a cardiological intervention are satisfied with the nursing and the care throughout the procedure. This result is limited to the current study group comprising of cardiologically relatively stable Swedish-speaking out-patients. An expanded survey group including other patient categories is necessary in order to draw more general conclusions.

Abstrakt Syfte Syftet med studien är att beskriva och jämföra patienters egenskattade uppfattning av vårdkvalitet i samband med gastroskopiundersökning vid öppen mottagning respektive planerad mottagning samt att identifiera eventuella skillnader i den patientupplevda vårdkvaliteten i de två olika besöksformerna. Introduktion Den svenska hälso- och sjukvården strävar efter en jämlik och kvalitativ god vård. Patienter ska i enlighet med svensk sjukvårdslag ges möjlighet att påverka den egna vården och ska så långt det är möjligt utformas i samråd med patienten. Trots detta har patienters upplevelser av vårdkvaliteten vid gastroskopiska undersökningar sparsamt studerats. Metod En deskriptiv tvärsnittsstudie utfördes vid en endoskopimottagning vid ett universitetssjukhus i norra delen av Sverige. Resultat Data samlades från 105 patienter med hjälp av instrumentet KUPP. Socio-demografisk data påvisade en signifikant medelålderskillnad där de patienter som sökte planerad mottagning var äldre jämfört med patienterna i den öppna mottagningsgruppen (p<0,016). Patienternas egenskattade upplevelse av vårdkvalitet jämfördes och visade en signifikant skillnad mellan patienters upplevelser av bristande vårdkvalitet avseende vårdatmosfär i gruppen öppen mottagning jämfört med gruppen planerad mottagning (p<0,046). Konklusion Studien ger en fingervisning om att patienter i högre grad upplever bristande kvalitet vad gäller vårdatmosfären i den öppna mottagningsgruppen jämfört med den planerade mottagningsgruppen. Denna kunskap kan ligga till grund för en förändrad vårdprocess så att de patienter som söker öppen mottagning i framtiden känner en högre personlig vårdkvalitet.

Full textAbstract:
Potassium (K+) is an essential nutrient required by plants in high concentration and its uptake is mediated by a number of different K+ channels and K+ transporters including the KT/KUP/HAK transporter family. Phylogenetic analysis of the KT/KUP/HAK transporters in Arabidopsis and rice reveals that the proteins are arranged in four distinct clusters (I-IV). Members of cluster I and II are suggested to act as high- and low-affinity transporters respectively, while transporters in cluster III and IV have been less studied. Elaeis guineensis (oil palm) is a palm oil producing crop. The palm oil is a rich source of vitamins, carotenoids, iron and antioxidant activity and is now the largest source of edible oil. Despite the scientific and economic importance of the oil palm, Elaeis guineensis jacq has been relatively unstudied compared to other important crops such as rice, tomato, and barley. The aim of this study was to clone and characterise KT/KUP/HAK transporters from the oil palm. By a combination of database searching, PCR and 5’ and 3’ RACE, three genes encoding KT/KUP/HAK transporters from the oil palm were identified and named EgKUP3, EgKUP8 and EgKUP11. Phylogenetic analysis of the obtained sequences together with other KT/KUP/HAK transporters from various plant species suggested that they belong to this transporter superfamily and grouped in either cluster II (EgKUP3 and EgKUP8) or cluster III (EgKUP11). The hydrophobicity and topology analysis by TMHMM predicted a cytoplasmic N-terminus and an extracellular C-terminus, whereas EgKUP8 was predicted to have extracellular N- and C- termini. EgKUP11 was predicted to feature cytoplasmic N- and C- termini. TMHMM predicts 13, 10 and 14 transmembrane domain for EgKUP3, 8, and 11 respectively. Transcriptomic analysis was conducted on EgKUPs seedlings at 7-, 14-, and 21-day after treatment with a range of different K+-concentrations; 0.2 mM, 12.3 mM and 21.3 mM. The results suggested EgKUP8 expression is significantly upregulated in root tissues under depleted K+ conditions (0.2 mM) at 14 and 21 day. The expression of EgKUP3 and EgKUP11 on the other hand was not sensitive to changes in external K+ concentration. Functional complementation using Escherichia coli knockout strain defective in K+ uptake systems revealed that all EgKUPs complemented growth at 50 mM K+ concentration while EgKUP8 was also able to complement growth at 5 mM K+ when tested at pH 7.5. In contrast none of the EgKUPs were able to grow at pH 5.5 under all external K+ concentrations tested. Observations from gene expression and functional complementation studies may indicate the importance of EgKUP8 in K+ sufficient environment. Next, the EgKUPs were expressed as C-terminal GFP fusions in S. cerevisiae to establish the pre-crystallisation information needed for structural characterisation. The whole-cell florescent counts of each fusion proteins were used to calculate the approximate amount of protein expression. Although all the fusion proteins expressed between 1 – 1.3 mg/L (1 mg/L is a set threshold for protein expression), it proved impossible to extract the monodispersed transporters into our test detergents, including DDM and DM, as assessed by fluorescent size exclusion chromatography (FSEC). Cellular localisation studies indicated the EgKUPs do not localise to the plasma membrane plasma as expected but rather to the endoplasmic reticulum or cytoplasm, likely as a result of misfolding and faulty processing of the proteins in the S. cerevisiae system. Attemps to optimise the protein expression were performed by producing N- or/and C-terminally truncated proteins, but to no success. I also conducted experiments searching for novel solubilizing agents to improve general membrane protein stability in solution. However, this experiment has been conducted on a different protein, the xanthine/uric acid transporter (UapA) from Aspergillus nidulans, due to lack of success in obtaining a soluble and stable EgKUPs outside the lipid bilayer environment. The UapA which was, exchanged into Maltose Neopentyl Glycol 34 (MNG-34) amphiphile retained a greater amount of folded protein (53.2%) compared to protein exchanged into the conventional detergent, DDM (40%) after 130 min of heating at 40°C. This observation was confirmed by hFSEC assay in which MNG-34 was found to confer the greatest stability to UapA at 50°C.

U ovom radu su ispitani hemijski sastav i biološka aktivnost vrsta <em> Brassica oleracea </em>i<em> Brassica rapa</em> poreklom iz organskog i konvencionalnog sistema proizvodnje. Ispitivanja hemijskog sastava su obuhvatila određivanje volatilnih komponenata primenom headspace GC-MS tehnike, kvalitativnu analizu sokova ispitivanih vrsta pomoću LC-DAD-MS/MS tehnike, kvantifikaciju odabranih fenolnih jedinjenja pomoću LC-MS/MS tehnike i spektrofotometrijsko određivanje sadržaja ukupnih glukozinolata, fenola i flavonoida i sadržaja ukupnih monomernih antocijana. Biološka aktivnost povrća je ispitana određivanjem antioksidantnog potencijal, antimikrobne i antitumorske aktivnosti sokova. Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da su glavne volatilne komponente ispitivanih vrsta degradacioni proizvodi masnih kiselina i organosumpornih jedinjenja od kojih neke od identifikovanih komponenata predstavljaju ključne mirisne komponente. Na osnovu njihove distribucije nije bilo moguće utvrditi uticaj sistema proizvodnje na miris i ukus ispitivanih vrsta. Pomoću LC-DAD-MS/MS i LC-MS/MS tehnike je utvrđeno prisustvo primarnih metabolita, slobodnih hidroksibenzoevih i hidroksicimetnih kiselina, derivate hinske kiseline sa hidroksicimetnim kiselinama, glikozida flavonola, biflavonoida, i kumarina u sokovima spitivanih vrsta. Pored toga u svim sokovima subili prisutni kondenzacioni proizvodi degradacionih proizvoda indolnih glukozinolata sa askorbinskom kiselinom- askorbigen i metoksiaskorbigen. U sokovima crvenog kupusa su bili prisutni antocijani. Najveći sadržaj ukupnih glukozinolata je određen u brokoliju, dok je crveni kupus sadržao najveći sadržaj ukupnih fenola ukupnih flavonoida kao i hinske kiseline. Crveni kupus je bio varijetet koji je ispoljio najviši antioksidantni kapacitet u svim primenjenim testovima, brokoli i karfiol su ispoljili najjaču antimikrobnu aktivnost, dok je kelj bio varijetet sa najjačim antitumorskim delovanjem. Na osnovu analize hemijskog sastava i biološke aktivnosti vrsta <em>B</em>. <em>oleracea</em> i <em> B. rapa</em> može se zaključiti da u zavisnosti od primenjenog tipa proizvodnje mogu biti poboljšane neke od karakteristika ispitivanih vrsta i da je uticaj sistema proizvodnje značajan za pojedine varijetete, a nikako za celu vrstu. U konačnom obliku može se zaključiti da bi potencijalna kombinacija sokova crvenog kupusa, brokolija, karfiola i kelja mogla ostvariti značajno hemopreventivno i hemoterapeutsko delovanje, ispoljavajući istovremeno antioksidantnu, antimikrobnu i antitumorsku aktivnost.<br>Chemical composition and biological activity of<em> Brassica oleracea</em> and <em>B. rapa </em> species were investigated in the present work. Investigation of chemical composition encompassed determination of volatile compounds by headspace GC-MS technique, qualitative analysis of juices of investigated vegetables by LC-DAD-MS/MS technique, quantification of selected phenolic compounds by LC-MS/MS technique and spectrophotometric determination of total content of glucosinolates, phenolic compounds and flavonoids and total content of monomeric anthocyanes. Biological activity of vegetables was investigated by determination of antioxidant capacity, antimicrobial and antitumorigenic effect of juices. Obtained results showed that main volatile compounds were degradation products of fatty acids and organo-sulphur compounds among which some of the identified components were the key aroma compounds. Based on their distribution it was not possible to evaluate influence of cropping system on aroma and taste of investigated species. By LC-DAD-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS techniques, it was determined the presence of primary metabolites, freehydroxybenzoic and hydroxycinnamic acids, derivatives of quinic acid and hidroxicinnamic acids, flavonol glucosides, biflavnoids and a cumarin in juices of the investigated species. Furthermore, condensation products of degradation products of indole glucosinolates with ascorbic acid- ascorbigen and metoxiascorbigen were present in all juices. Anthocyanes were present in juices of red cabbage. The highest total content of glucosinolates was determined in broccoli, while red cabbage had the highest total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, as well as content of qunic acid. Red cabbage was a variety that showed the highest antioxidant capacity measured by different assays. Broccoli and cauliflower expressed the highest antimicrobial potential, while Savoy cabbage was a variety with the highest antitumor effect. Investigation of chemical composition and biological activity showed that applied cropping conditions may be useful for improving some of the characteristics of investigated species and significance of cropping system only for particular varieties, but not for the whole species in general. As the conclusion, potential combination of juices of red cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and Savoy cabbage could be potent chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agent, expressing simultaneously antioxidant, antimicrobial and antitumor activity.

Mohamed, Radwa. "The role of HAK/KUP/KT family of transporters and potassium channels in abiotic stress responses in Arabidopsis and rice." Thesis, University of York, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/20164/.
Full textAbstract:
Abiotic stress is a worldwide problem that affects the productivity of crops. Salinity stress for example, affects about 950 million hectares of arable lands while about 64% of the global land is affected by water deficit (drought). Drought and salinity are the most deleterious stresses, resulting in nutritional imbalance. Therefore, the main mechanism of improving a plant tolerance to stresses is by improving nutritional acquisition such as K+ uptake. The Two Pore K+ vacuolar Channel (TPK1) was reported to function in K+ release from guard cell vacuoles, therefore stomatal closure. However, attpk1 showed weak phenotype, suggesting a good level of redundancy by other transporters predicted to localize in the guard cell tonoplast. The K+ high affinity uptake permeases HAK/KUP/KT transporters AtKUP12 and AtHAK8 are among these candidates. We test this hypothesis in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Loss of function of AtKUP12 mutants showed severe inhibition of germination, seedling establishment and growth of plants during K+ deficiency resulted from high NH4+/K+ ratio. Therefore, we suggest a potential role for this transporter in K+ flux during osmotic, salinity and K+ starvation stresses. We also suggest a possible epistasis relationship between AtKUP12 and AtTPK1. Possibly, they both function in K+ efflux from vacuoles to cytoplasm during stress. Our results also suggest no functional relationship between AtTPK1 and AtHAK8. AtKUP12 was able to rescue the growth of K+ deficient yeast strain during K+ starvation. In rice, we study the role of the Stelar K+ Outwardly Rectifying channel (SKOR) in K+ transport from roots to shoots under different stresses. We aim at improving K+ transport to shoots therefore the overall plant response to abiotic stress, using different overexpressor lines. Overexpressing the TPKb (an isoform of the TPK channel localized in the storage vacuoles) resulted in higher K+ levels in the transgenic plants during K+ starvation. We test the possibility of the involvement of other transporters in this phenomenon. Expression levels of the HAK1 and KAT1 as well as the GORK transporter and channel genes were measured in TPKb overexpressor lines. OsHAK1 showed slight increase in expression while other transporters did not show significant differences.

Full textAbstract:
This is an ethnographic study of the Orang Rimba ('people of the forest'), a Malay-speaking minority group who traditionally lived throughout the lowland rainforests of Jambi, Sumatra. The Orang Rimba have much in common with surrounding Malay peoples, including a similar local dialect and variants of regional Malay customs and beliefs. They are different from the Malay and other Austronesian peoples in that they have a unique, mobile, flexible economy that traditionally shifts in and out of periods of swidden gardening and a very nomadic life based on digging for wild yams, largely upon death. They have an egalitarian social system based on sharing and reciprocity, which occurs within the context of a system of relationships in which women have great rights over forest resources and extraordinary distribution rights. They are also unique for their traditional non-Islamic religious beliefs, which they believe are crucial towards maintaining their way of life in the forest based on maintaining separation with the outside world. While the Makekal Orang Rimba believe themselves to share common origins with the Malay/Melayu, the downstream world of the villagers is perceived as a source of danger and sickness, which holds the potential to disrupt the delicate relations with their gods and make life in the forest impossible.
¶
Within the history of an unstable and assimilative upstream climate that was often hostile towards animist forest peoples, ethnic boundaries have served as a means to maintain their social identity, safety, and maintain a distinctive way of life in the forest. However, within the context of an egalitarian share society in which groupings of closely related women have a great deal of authority over the management and distribution of resources, including game, and the power of men is diminished through dispersed uxorilocal residence patterns, ethnic boundaries are also closely intertwined with internal power issues. The authority adult men is marked by their duty and obligation to protect and shield the rights of women from a dangerous outside world, and all outside males who are not immediate kin, through the manipulation of a convoluted system of law and fines paid in sheets of cloth. While females have great rights in their society, and the complete freedom to bully men through their passions and voice, their social mobility is limited by some of the most rigid gender divisions in all of Southeast Asia. Male authority is also marked within the domain of religion, through their duty to maintain the order and balance of their material and spiritual world (adat) in the forests by observing and enforcing religious prohibitions, which restrict relations with the outside world. This serves to facilitate close relations with their gods in matters ranging from health and subsistence to maintaining the timely occurrence of the seasonal fruits, honey, and migrations of bearded pigs.
¶
This thesis explores how the Orang Rimba maintain their distinct social identity as 'the people of the forest' through an examination of their customs, beliefs and religion (adat), and their belief and ritual surrounding fruits and the annual season of fruits, a primary season in the lowland dipterocarp forests of Sumatra. Throughout the thesis, I explore some of the key concepts, structural categories (forest-village, upstream-downstream, mobility-sedentism, hot-cold, and reason-passion), and metaphor that run through their system of beliefs and religion, and how some of these beliefs influence their social, moral and cosmological orders, relations amongst themselves, and with the outside world. A broader theme examines how religious beliefs are intertwined with social relations, which are largely based on issues of gender, adulthood, relations of affinity and male experience in the realms of law and religion, and how some of their beliefs are interrelated with maintaining ethnic boundaries with outsiders. Some of these topics are explored in their social relations, the structure of their origin stories, gender related food prohibitions, and the management of forest resources. These issues are examined in light of the great change that has taken place over the last 30 years, a result of large-scale logging, plantations and development projects.

Litteratur visar på att bysthållare (BH) är ett mycket komplext plagg och endast småjusteringar kan förändra passformen. I denna studie har BH konstruerats med syfte attundersöka vad olika avskärningar över kupan gör med passformen. På modeföretaget därstudien utförts fanns det ett önskemål om bra BH-grunder som underlag för att undvika attleverantören gör konstruktionerna, då måttlista och skiss inte anses som tillräckligt braunderlag att skicka. Genom att själva göra konstruktionerna anser sig företaget få merkontroll över BH:ns passform. Konstruktionerna i denna studie har utvecklats i CADprogramvaranModaris. Detta följt av uppsömnad och avprovning, där BH:arna testas påolika provmodeller med mått motsvarande företagets målgrupp. Under avprovningarna haravprovningsprotokoll förts, där frågor relaterade till litteraturen ställs till de medverkande.Det visar sig att passformen förändras när avskärningen gör det. Detta på grund av attfördelningen av vidden ändras, vilket innebär att kupan får en ny form. För att undvikapassformsproblem på företag kan en idé vara att utveckla ett flertal olika grundkonstruktionermed olika avskärningar, så att endast mindre justeringar krävs, och färre justeringar behövsgöras från grunden.<br>Literature shows that bras are a very complex piece of clothing and only small adjustmentscan change the fit. In this study, bras has been constructed with the purpose to examine whatdifferent cuts on the bras cup make with the fit. The fashion brand where this study has beenperformed, wanted a basic pattern for bras, since communication with vendors using onlysketches and measurement lists was not enough to get a good result. The patterns in thisstudy have been developed in CAD software Modaris. This followed by sewing and fittingsessions on fitting models with body measurement corresponding to the brands target group.During the fittings, a protocol related to literature is written. After analysing the fit of thebras, it came to show that shape is changed even though the width of the cup is the same.This is because the width is divided differently which gives the cup a new shape. To avoidfitting problems it could be a good idea that companies have more than one basic pattern forbras with different cuts to base their models on, to decrease the proportion of major fittingchanges.

Full textAbstract:
U ovom radu je obrađen postupak spontane fermentacije tradicionalnog proizvoda, fermentisanog kupusa u glavicama. U prvom delu urađena je karakterizacija domaće tradicionalne populacije Futoški u odnosu na uvozni hibrid Bravo. Na osnovu PCA analize i analize standardnih ocena SS fizičkih, hemijskih i senzorskih paramentara odabrani su uzorci povoljni za proces fermentacije. Proces fermentacje je obavljen na temperaturama 16-18<sup>o</sup>C, 18-20<sup>o</sup>C i 20-20<sup>o</sup>C, i sa razliĉitim koncentracijama soli od 1, 1,5 i 2 %. Analizirani su fizički, hemijski, mikrobiološki parametri i senzorske osobine kupusa tokom fermentacije. Metodom odzivne površine sa analizom varijanse (ANOVA) modela odziva za svaki od analiziranih karakteristika i objašnjeno je koji od parametara procesa temperatura, koncentracija soli i vreme trajanja procesa ima statistiĉki značajan uticaj na formiranje matematiĉkih modela odziva, prikazanih u obliku polinoma drugog reda (SOP). Zaključeno je da Futoški kupus postiţe brţe završnu taĉku fermentacije u odnosu na hibrid Bravo. Drugi korišćeni tehnološki postupak u ovom radu je osmotska dehidratacija. Kupus je dehidriran u tri osmotska rastvora (vodeni rastvor natrijum hlorida i saharoze, kombinacija vodenog rastvora natrijum hlorida i saharoze i melase i melasa šećerne repe) različitih koncentracija, na tri temperature (20°C, 35°C i 50°C) i pri tri vremena trajanja procesa (1, 3 i 5h). Mereni i računati odzivi procesa osmotske dehidratacije bili su: sadržaj suve materije, gubitak vode, prirast suve materije i indeks efiksanosti procesa. Rezultati ispitivanja pokazuju da povećanje tehnoloških parametara temperature i vremena procesa, kao i koncentracije osmotskih rastvora dovode do intenziviranja prenosa mase u procesu i povećanja vrednosti odzivnih parametara procesa. Takođe, zaključeno je da tokom osmotske dehidratacije u melasi šećerne repe dolazi do obogaćivanja kupusa nutritivnim komponentama, naročito kalijumom. Treći segment ovog rada je analiza održivosti osmotski dehidriranog kupusa pakovanog u modiifikovanoj atmosferi dve različite smeše gasova N<sub>2</sub> i CO<sub>2</sub>. Analizom hemijskih, mikrobioloških i senzorskih svojstava zaključeno je da ovaj osmotski dehidriran kupus pakovan na navedeni način ima održivost od 90 dana.<br>This paper describes the process of spontaneous fermentation of traditional product, fermented whole cabbage. In the first part characterization of the local traditional type Futoški cabbage in relation to imported hybrid Bravo was done. Based on the PCA analysis and analysis of the standard score SS physical, chemical and sensory parameters favorable samples for the process of fermentation were selected. The process of fermentation was carried out at three temperatures: 16-18<sup>o</sup>C, 18-20<sup>o</sup>C and 20-20<sup>o</sup>C, and with various concentrations of salt: 1, 1.5 and 2%. The physical, chemical and microbiological parameters, as well as sensory properties of cabbage during fermentation were analyzed. Response surface method with analysis of variance (ANOVA) model response for each of the analyzed characteristics was used and it was explained which of the process parameters (temperature, salt concentration and the duration of the process) had a statistically significant effect on the formation of mathematical models of response, presented in the form of a second order polynomial (SOP). It was concluded that Futoški cabbage faster achieved end point of fermentation as compared to a hybrid Bravo. Another technological method used in this investigation was the osmotic dehydration. Cabbage was dehydrated with three osmotic solutions (an aqueous solution of sodium chloride and sucrose; the combination of an aqueous solution of sodium chloride and sucrose with molasses; sugar beet molasses) of different concentrations, at three temperatures (20°C, 35°C and 50°C) and at three times of the process duration (1, 3, and 5h). The measured and calculated responses of osmotic dehydration process were: dry matter content, water loss, solid gain and the index of efficiency of the process. Test results shown that increase of the technological parameters of temperature and time of process, as well as the concentration of osmotic solutions lead to the intensification of mass transfer in the process and increase values of response parameters of the process. Also, it was concluded that during osmotic dehydration in sugar beet molasses cabbage was enriched with nutritional components, especially potassium. The third segment of this investigation was to analyze the viability of osmotically dehydrated cabbage packaged in modified atmosphere, with two different mixtures of N<sub>2</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub>. Analyzing chemical, microbiological and sensory properties it was concluded that the osmotically dehydrated cabbage packaged in this manner has the sustainability of 90 days.

Full textAbstract:
Den här uppsatsen ämnar studera effekterna av att använda sig av en viss typ av PR i marknadsföring. En aktuell debatt i media idag diskuterar huruvida man får luras i PR eller inte och i och med detta har vissa kampanjer kallats för bland annat PR-bluffar, kuppar och fejk-PR. Fenomenet PR-bluff har gått ut på att lansera en kampanj som ska leda till reaktion inom målgruppen för att sedan, efter en viss tid, avslöja det verkliga syftet med aktionen. Genom fallstudier har vi undersökt två kampanjer av detta slag och vad resultat av dessa blivit enligt kommunikationsbyrå, kund och allmänhet och därefter ställt utfallet emot relevanta marknadsförings- och kommunikationsteorier. Dessa teorier betonar starka relationer och tillit mellan företag och dess kunder för att alstra framgång och således kan PR-kuppar ses som motsägelsefulla i marknadsföringssyfte. Utfallet av kampanjerna i fallstudien har dock varit positiva och vi har kunnat se att relationen till kund och dess tillit till företaget inte behöver ta skada av denna typ av PR. I vår slutdiskussion reflekterar vi dock över om PR-kuppar har en kortsiktig positiv effekt men att i det långa loppet kan skada tillit och relationer, och om den negativa debatten i media kan vara en effekt av relationerna mellan olika parter i kommunikationsbranschen.

Full textAbstract:
Uppsatsens syfte var att utforma ett kvalitetssäkringsinstrument för att kunna genomföra en kvalitetsmätning av avgränsade delar inom äldreomsorgen i Båstad kommun. Vårt uppdrag var att undersöka kvaliteten på ett projekt kallat ”Hemteamet”. Ett mätinstrument togs fram med utgångspunkt från aspekter som är viktiga att beakta vid en kvalitetsmätning inom omsorg och vård i ordinärt boende, utifrån omsorgstagarnas perspektiv. Vi har, för att svara på våra frågeställningar, genomfört litteraturstudier och som kvantitativ metod tagit fram en enkät. Enkäten fokuserar på den enskilde omsorgstagarens upplevelser av kvaliteten på omsorg och vård. Den bygger på sex temaområden; Trygghet, Bemötande, Självbestämmande, Välbefinnande, Hotellfunktion och Vårdsäkerhet. De teoretiska perspektiv vi utgått från är humanismen med fokus på Maslows behovstrappa och det salutogena perspektivet med fokus på KASAM (Känsla Av Sammanhang). Vi utgick från KUPP-metodens (Kvalitet Ur Patientens Perspektiv) åtgärdsindex vid bearbetning och analys av vårt material. Resultatet vi fått fram för ”Hemteamet” har primärt analyserats och diskuterats genom att jämföra olika delaspekter med varandra inom gruppen. För att ytterligare kunna diskutera resultatet genomfördes motsvarande kvalitetsmätning på en utvald hemtjänstgrupp i samma kommun. Resultatet från de båda mätningarna har vi använt i ett jämförande perspektiv. Vår undersökning visade att respondenterna i ”Hemteamet” överlag var nöjda med omsorgen och vården. Dock bör följande aspekter tas i beaktande då de har fått sämre resultat än övriga delaspekter; 1) information: att omsorgstagarna får information om ändringar i dagliga rutiner, 2) rutiner: att omsorgen och vården styrs av omsorgstagarens behov och inte personalens rutiner, 3) närvaro: att omsorgspersonalen inte ska ha bråttom och 4) tillgänglighet: att den enskilde ska vara informerad om och av sin kontaktperson. Vi har funnit ett signifikant samband mellan temaområdena Trygghet, Bemötande samt Självbestämmande och respondenternas upplevda psykiska hälsa. Enkäten har fungerat relativt bra men en del frågor har krävt revidering för att kommunen i framtiden löpande ska kunna använda sig av vårt framtagna kvalitetssäkringsinstrument. En reviderad enkät medföljer därför denna uppsats.

Ce projet de recherche avait pour but d'identifier des gènes capables d'influencer la sensibilité/résistance à la scrapie chez le mouton, autres que PRNP. Nous avons abordé cette problématique par 2 voies complémentaires et consécutives. Nous avons tout d'abord utilisé u protocole classique de détection de QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci). Nous avons identifié par cette approche un QTL sur le chromosome ovi 18 (OAR18). Nous avons ainsi pu identifier de nouveaux microsatellites de façon ciblée, qui, une fois génotypes, ont confirmé l'associatio génétique avec le QTL et ont significativement raffiné sa localisation dans un intervalle d'environ 7 Mb. En parallèle aux progrès de l'étude génétique, nous avons développé un programme de recherche pour mettre en évidence les modifications des profils d'expression des gènes induits par la maladie dans le cerveau, en utilisant la technique de l'hybridation soustractive et suppressive (SSH). De cette façon, nous avons identifié six gènes influencés par la progression de la maladie, dont 5 son induits transcriptionnellement (CHN1, LRFN5, PPP2AC, CaMK2 and COX1) et l'un diminué (Rab9p40). Chez la souris, CHN1 est localisé 74 Mb sur le chromosome 2 (MMU2), précisément au centre de l'intervalle QTL identifié par Manolakou et coll. (2001 ). LRFN5 est localisé 40 Mb sur le chromosome 14, position correspondant à l'intervalle que nous avons identifié sur le chromosome 18. En ce qui concerne CHN1, nous avons pu démontrer l'existence d'un épissage alternatif, responsable de l'existence de deux isoformes, dont l'une est spécifiquement présente dans les cerveaux des animaux atteints<br>The objective of this research project was to identify gènes affecting thé genetic sensibility/resistance to scrapie in sheep, outside thé PRNI gène. We dealt with this scientific problem following two complementary ways. First, we carried out a classical approach of positional clonin for Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL). We could thus identify a QTL on sheep chromosome 18 (OAR18), linked to thé TGLA122 and BM7243 markers. Subsequently, by thé targeted production of new microsatellites, we could confirm thé genetic association with thé QTL and significantly refine ils localisation into a ~7 Mb interval. In parallel with thé progresses of this genetic study, we developed a research program aiming at analysing thé modifications of gènes expression profiles caused by thé disease in thé brain, using thé Subtractive Suppressive Hybridization (SSH) technique. This way we identified six gènes influenced by thé development of thé disease, 5 of them are stimulated (CHN1, LRFN5, PPP2AC, CaMK2 and COX1 ) and another one is down-regulated (Rab9p40). In mice CHN1 is located at 74 M on chromosome 2 (MMU2), exactly in thé center of a QTL interval identified by Manolakou el al in 2001. LRFN5 is located at 40 Mb on HSA14, a position corresponding to thé interval previously identified on OAR18. Concerning CHN1, we could demonstrate thé existence ( an alternative splicing, responsible for two isoforms, one of which is specifically présent in affected brain
