Abstract:
Osteochondrodysplasia in the Scottish Fold cats is the genetic disease, inherited according to the autosomal-dominant type; it is manifested by the deformation of bones and cartilages of the skeleton in the form of unhealthy bone growths in the region of the wrist, metacarpal, fetlock, mesopodial and phalanx joints of breast and pelvic extremities, and also tailed vertebrae.
 
 Purpose of research. To assess the effectiveness of radiation therapy in the treatment of Scottish fold cats with osteochondrodysplasia.
 
 Materials and methods. 10 Scottish Fold cats (3 males, 7 females; age ― from 5 months to 10 years) with osteochondrodysplasia were treated from 2013 to 2017. All patients had clinical signs of disease in the form of skeletal growths in the wrist, metacarpus, finger bones, lumbar, sacral or tail spine. Most of them (9 of 10) were lame. All patients were examined clinically and radiologically before the treatment. Radiation therapy was carried out on gamma therapy unit «AGAT-R» with inclusion of the affected limbs to the middle of the shoulder or thigh. Immobilization was achieved either by general anesthesia or by means of physical restraint. Fraction doses used were 1.5 Gy up to total doses of 15.0 Gy, 2 to 3 fractions per week.
 
 Results. In 9 of 10 cases (90 %) there is a subjective improvement in mobility and regression of lameness after 6 months and furthermore after treatment. Two patients in the group died within 8 and 12 months from extraneous causes, others are alive and well for the time being with no need for pain relief. In three cases a radiological control of skeletal growths was performed, with no signs of progression 6.15 and 71 months after treatment. The maximum observation period is 2196 days, the observation median is 705 days.
 
 We used a questionnaire to improve the objectiveness of cat’s mobility and pain assessment before and after treatment. Based on animal owners’ answers the score for each symptom was assigned from 0 (severe dysfunction) to 2 (function not impaired). Scores from individual cases were summed, and the averaged total results were compared. Generally, after radiation therapy, animals’ mobility improved significantly (the averaged mobility score in the group imcreased from 3.0 to 6.5).
 
 Conclusion. The radiation therapy is an effective pathogenetic and symptomatic method of treatment of Scottish fold cats with osteochondrodysplasia: in most cases it leads to pain relief and increased mobility of the animal. According to clinical and radiological (in three cases) criteria, it can also be assumed that radiation therapy leads to suppression of the skeletal growths enlargement. The effect of treatment develops within 6 months after its completion and is persistent (lasts for many months and years). The technique involves the use of small total doses, so it does not cause complications and is practically safe for the patient.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Osteochondrodysplasia affects both homozygous and heterozygous Scottish Fold cats, and various treatments have been attempted to control chronic pain and improve mobility in these animals. However, to date, there is no single effective treatment that can be used to treat all cats with Scottish Fold osteochondrodysplasia (SFOCD). A 4 yr old castrated Scottish Fold cat presented with plantar exostoses in the right hindlimb, the largest of which was caudal to the tarsometatarsal joint and had stretched the overlying skin, causing ulceration and bleeding. There was right hindlimb lameness. The cat was diagnosed with SFOCD, and the skin lesions were treated by excision of the exostoses, removal of the damaged skin, and wound closure. All extremities were treated with radiotherapy and subcutaneous pentosan polysulfate for chronic pain. The cat’s gait improved after surgery, and increased activity was noted after radiotherapy. There were no signs of excessive bone proliferation or adverse effects at 80 wk postoperatively. In conclusion, a combination of surgical, radiation, and medical therapies could be an effective treatment strategy for SFOCD with skin ulceration.

Bilateral hind-limb lameness, associated with tarsal exostoses in a Scottish fold diagnosed as having Scottish fold osteodystrophy, resolved following staged bilateral ostectomies and pantarsal arthrodeses. Degenerative changes in the phalangeal joints of the hind limbs have progressed radiographically, but lameness has not recurred 48 weeks following the second arthrodesis. Additional skeletal abnormalities were detected radiographically in both carpi and in several caudal vertebrae. A partial, left-sided conduction deafness was diagnosed by evaluating brain stem auditory-evoked responses.

Abstract:
The following study explores the, as-yet largely unexplored question within film studies of a ‘folk cinema’ through research and two practical film projects: the finished dramatic feature Blackbird (2013), and the 4th draft of a script for a dramatic feature in development, False Faces (2016). Drawing from aspects of Scottish folk culture, both films explore different forms of what a rooted, Scotland-based ‘folk cinema’ could be. In addition, the creation of an annual film festival – the Folk Film Gathering – has created a forum in which some of the issues of an emergent folk cinema could be explored with audiences in Scotland. The question of a folk cinema grows increasingly pertinent both globally and locally, particularly within an European cultural landscape where the traditional arts are increasingly resurgent, and upon a global stage where the indigenous peoples movement has led to reevaluations of concepts of tradition, indigeneity and autochthony. My PhD by practice attempts to explore, both theoretically and practically, some of the possible implications of a folk cinema, interlinking local and global contexts. In doing so I have made particular use of aspects of cultural studies and anthropological theory, such as the writing of James Clifford, Faye Ginsburg and Jay Ruby, which I believe to be a relatively untapped critical resource for wider film studies. Whilst opening discussion attempts to consider the question of folk cinema globally, as an issue that may be pertinent for diverse filmmaking traditions in world cinema, my practical filmmaking work is firmly rooted within a contigent and highly-localised attempt to explore such questions within Scotland. In particular, I explore the practical implications of a cinematic pursuit of ‘ethnographic verisimilitude’, and the translation of oral forms into a filmic narrative, whilst questioning the validity of ‘folk cinema’ that arises from ‘etic’ viewpoints, outside a depicted community. Ultimately, consideration of my practical work explores how the theoretical ideals of an emergent folk cinema are negotiated in the more unruly, worldy domain of filmmaking practice and whether, ultimately, an autochthonous Scottish ‘folk cinema’ is possible.

Abstract:
This thesis examines historical developments in Scottish dance over the past two hundred years and considers how they combined to shape the current traditional dance and music culture in Scotland. This work examines the effects of increasing regulation and standardisation during the twentieth century through an assessment of the experiences, viewpoints and opinions of present-day practitioners. The business practice and increasing professionalisation of nineteenth-century dancing masters active in the North-East of Scotland, and that of A. Cosmo Mitchell in particular, is considered in relation to the formation of the regulatory societies. The introduction of standardisation is examined through a comparison of nineteenth- and twentiethcentury published sources for the 'Highland Fling'. Tensions and contrasts in traditional dance and music are assessed by a consideration of the approach taken by influential traditional music education establishments such as Fèisean nan Gàidheal and by examining the relationship between Highland dancing and Highland piping. Reactions to regulation such as the (re)introduction of percussive step dance to Scotland and the growth in popularity of informal, 'called' ceilidh dancing are evaluated. The relationship between traditional dance and music in Scotland today is considered in the light of recurring themes such as professionalisation, regulation, authority, reactions to the status quo and the revival of an approach to or concept of dance rather than the revival of an historically verifiable style.

Abstract:
In the last forty years, there has been a steady increase in research on Scottish traditions of music and song. Growing from its roots in ‘collection’, the field (in Scotland) has been dominated by rather limiting methodological approaches. The study of Scottish folk music has seriously neglected post-­‐1960s cultural practices and the influences of hybridisation, professionalisation and commercialisation. These and related areas of the field are largely uncharted in departments of Music and Scottish Studies. One result, stemming from this problem, is a continuing confusion in the use of descriptive and ideological terms. ‘Folk music’ is the most widely used concept and its problematic and elusive meaning, its function for and understanding by industry professionals, is the focal point of this thesis. The aims of this thesis are to position current understandings of ‘folk’ as a term and a practice in the wider social and historical contexts of British folk music and to investigate the ways in which the discursive history of folk music informs contemporary cultural practices. My objective was to uncover, in particular, what, according to today’s performers and other industry participants, gives Scottish folk music its contemporary meaning. My thesis is designed to shed new light on the ideological and aesthetic constructions of folk music in Scotland.

Abstract:
My thesis is a comparison of the wizard figure in Scottish and Icelandic folk legend. It begins with a study of the international wizard tradition. The first chapter concerns two wizards, the Rev. Saemundur Sigfusson of Iceland and the Scottish wizard Master Michael Scot. It includes brief biographies of the historical characters and some comments concerning the manner in which they first gained their reputations as wizards. In the chapter I also consider the migratory legends ML 3000: "Escape from the Black School", ML 3020: "Inexperienced Use of the Black Book", and ML 3025: "Carried by the Devil". I compare the magic practised in these legends with similar historical practices and beliefs. I then consider the respective development of the legends in Scotland and Iceland. Social and historical influences are considered and the legends are compared with similar traditions in other countries. Special attention is paid to the changes which the legends underwent. Finally I consider the witch tradition and the course of the witchcraft trials in either country, and their influence on popular beliefs.

Brown, Fiona-Jane. "Faith, fear & folk narrative : belief & identity in Scottish fishing communities." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2010. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=128257.

Full text
Abstract:
This is a study of folklore in fishing communities using oral narrative as its major source, and analysing the evidence using the methodologies of both oral history and ethnology to illustrate the identity of the group studied. I am particularly concerned with the type of folklore which historian Leonard Primiano describes as ‘vernacular religion’, i.e. rituals and beliefs which demonstrate the religious, spiritual life ‘as lived’ rather than that which is prescribed by the church. The study encompasses fishing communities in the North-East of Scotland, the Outer Hebrides and Shetland, which represent both the historic and contemporary centres of the Scottish fishing industry. It is my contention that we can learn a great deal about fisher identity — its substance and mechanism — through the study of personal narratives, the stories fishermen tell about themselves, their heritage, their environment and their skills. The major themes of this study are faith and fear, the former encompassing a range of strategies — some supernatural, some rational — which fishermen employ to cope with the latter. In building a picture of fisher identity, I also contextualise fishermen’s supernatural and spiritual beliefs within the larger community of those who operate at sea. In turn, I consider the factors which isolate fishermen from society at large, and those fishers have used to deliberately isolate themselves from the landward community, and even from other fishermen, often their economic rivals at sea. This study demonstrates that belief/faith, as it is lived, is a major facet of fisher identity in Scotland. Those beliefs and the working environment are what create, shape and define the fishers’ identities, both the larger, communal ‘macro’ identity and the smaller, individual ‘micro’ identity, separating them from those who work and live on the land. The expression of the fisher identity extended back into the past and forward into the future by the continual telling and retelling of personal narratives while their context exists: the sea.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the complex of relationships between the contemporary drive for Scottish self-determination and the performance of Scottish folk and traditional music. The central argument of this work revolves around A.P. Cohen's (1996) notion of personal nationalism, which posits that individuals make the concepts of nation and nationalism relevant to themselves through daily experience and practice. Rather than examining or attempting to define Scottish nationalism as an internally homogeneous movement, this thesis focuses upon the ways in which various types of nationalist sentiment are created, expressed, and shaped through a particular form of cultural performance. Thus it is argued that there are numerous types of nationalism in Scotland, ranging from the Scottish National Party's explicit calls for political independence to artistic and cultural expressions of "Scottishness" which may or may not be directly connected to specific party-political objectives. As an ethnographic study of largely amateur folk music performers in Edinburgh, this work examining the role of music and musical performance in everyday life. It argues that, for these individuals, music and music-making are central in the formation of a sense of both personal and social identity. Through the performance of music which is symbolically linked to aspects of Scottish history, geography, cultural tradition and language, these performers see themselves to be performing aspects of Scottishness: a national identity which cannot be objectively defined but which is continually shaped and re-shaped through cultural practice. The Scottish musical traditions are discussed as ones which the musicians perceive to be still "living" and changing, rather than as historical artefacts to be preserved. This thesis draws upon the interdisciplinary studies of contemporary Scottish politics, society, and culture and, based upon fieldwork conducted from August 1996-October 1997, is historically situated in a time of political change.

Nisbet, Laura. "An exploratory study of the factors affecting food access and food choice of consumers in remote Scottish communities." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/25028.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to explore how food access impacts on consumer perceptions in relation to food choices and enhance our current understanding of how consumers use their food retail environment (Broadbridge and Calderwood, 2003; Ruston, 2002). It aims to understand what contribution food access makes to consumer food choices and their perceived access to healthy foods. Previous research has suggested consumers utilise coping mechanisms in order to manage food access issues (Furey et al, 2001; McKie, 1998; Whelan et al, 2002; Wrigley, 2004) and this thesis will describe the mechanisms used within this area and identify other factors which are relevant to consumer food choice. Fifty six semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather in depth information of the consumers' experience of food shopping in this area. Qualitative interviewing was used to explore individuals' perceptions of and the meanings they attribute to their shopping experiences and of local retail provision, as they are said to be a way of exploring relationships and is a way of uncovering and exploring the meanings that underpin people's lives, routines, behaviours, feelings etc (Rubin and Rubin, 1995). Participants were also asked to complete a 7-day shopping diary (n=40), a cupboard survey (n=56) and Food Frequency Questionnaires (n=45). They provided a behavioural context within which to explore the experiences and motivations for shopping. Remote consumers appear to have lower expectations of retail choices due to the geographical areas in which they live and the difficulties retailers face with a limited customer base. Differences in perceptions of retail food provision reflect the nature of the retail structure of an area with the presence of a large store resulting in a more favourable perception of provision. Local shops and producers play a crucial role in the community providing flexibility in ordering, delivery and supply of produce to islanders increasing options in terms of variety, quality and convenience. Consumers' perceptions of food retail provision in this research support previous suggestions of disparities in provision within rural communities (McKie et al, 1996; Furey et al, 2001). Flowever, a number of islanders have devised ways to overcome these disparities that utilise alternative food networks and draw on household and community networks to increase their choice. Alternative food networks such as local produce sales, farmers markets and home produced food were used in conjunction with the conventional food retail supply chain in order to meet the needs of participants. Many consumers use a variety of mechanisms and strategies to adapt to the unreliable food supply that they associate with the retail food system, for example growing their own vegetables and using food for barter. In this way food becomes embedded in household and community life. There is as yet no agreed definition of what constitutes adequate access. For participants in these remote communities adequate access means being able travel to a store, even if this means travelling a relatively long distance, which has a consistent range of produce providing choice, variety and quality at all times.

Douglas, Tony. "An investigation into the sales process practiced by Scottish-based food and drink SMEs." Thesis, Edinburgh Napier University, 2013. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/6038.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to explore selling and the sales process in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) from the selling organisation's perspective. It investigates the sales process between SME manufacturers/distributors and Food retail and Foodservices customers/buyers in a new and a modified selling task situation in Scottish-based Food and Drinks businesses. The research examines the sales process practiced by SMEs and barriers and enablers that hinder and support effective selling practices. According to the Scottish Government, the role played by SMEs in the Food and Drinks industry is vitally important to the Scottish economy. However, given the paucity of literature in the field, knowledge concerning the role and importance of selling in SMEs, particularly in the Food and Drinks industry, is underdeveloped and lacks empirical research. To investigate the thesis research question, the author adopts an interpretivist perspective. Qualitative data was gathered through face-to-face semi-structured interviews. In all, 20 people involved in selling activities and the sales process were interviewed from 15 SMEs across Scotland. The data was then analysed using thematic analysis to establish key findings regarding the sales process The research's findings suggest that the sales process practiced by Scottish-based SMEs in the Food and Drinks industry is complex. Each selling interaction in a new and a modified selling task situation is unique. A number of dimensions impact the sales process. The type of sale varies, from being relatively simplistic with standard product, to being more complicated with customised or seasonal products. It varies from being a straight forward short-term transaction that either achieves a sale or not (usually with a smaller customer), to being a longer-term event (usually with a larger customer). What is evident is that SMEs do not rely entirely on existing customers. Prospecting is required to start the process and a follow up of some kind occurs at the end of the process; whether a sale is concluded or not. The research establishes that the steps in the process are neither wholly sequential nor simultaneous. This study identifies that there are 5 steps in the SME sales process in new and modified selling task situations: prospecting and/ or revisit customer, prepare for the sales meeting, the sales meeting itself, action points arising from the meeting and maintaining contact. In addition to the key findings, five important themes emerged from the data in the form of barriers and enablers that either directly or indirectly affect the operationalisation of the selling process. In theme one, the owner manager of the SME is usually inextricably linked to, and has considerable involvement in, and see themselves as important to the sales process. Theme two identifies that those SMEs with some degree of sales knowledge and/or expertise take a more consistent and systematic approach to their sales process. Theme three highlights that many SMEs utilise technology such as SMART phones but lack awareness of how CRM software technology can assist in the delivery of a coherent sales process. Theme four identifies that power in the seller-buyer dyad is tipped in favour of the buyer but appears to be tolerated or accepted as the norm by the SME. A fifth theme deals with the location of the SME and suggests that interacting face-to-face with customers from their Scottish geographic base, places constraints on how SMEs conduct business. A conceptual framework of the sales process practiced by Scottish-based Food and Drinks SMEs has been constructed to depict the 5 step sales process as identified in the research. This conceptual framework also incorporates 5 important dimensions (type of customer, time perspective, type of problem, type of relationship and sequence of stages) and 5 enablers and barriers that impact the operationalisation of this sales process. Since this research is exploratory in nature, the thesis identifies areas where future research is required in the field alongside suggestions where policy makers and government business development agencies might focus intervention to assist SMEs improve delivery of the sales process.

Abstract:
The present research utilised five tasks to investigate non-musicians' perception of phrase, rhythm, pitch and beat structure in unaccompanied Gaelic melodies and musical sequences. Perception of phrase structure was examined using: i) a segmentation task in which listeners segmented Gaelic melodies into a series of meaningful units and ii) a novel click localisation task whereby listeners indicated where they perceived a superimposed click in the melody had occurred. Listeners consistently segmented the melodies into units of 2.4 - 5.4 seconds. Clicks which were positioned before and after perceived boundaries (identified by segmentation) were perceptually migrated towards the boundary. These results suggest that listeners perceptually differentiate between phrasal groups in melodies (See Sloboda & Gregory, 1980; Stoffer, 1985, for similar results with musicians). Short term memory for rhythmic structure was examined using rhythm recall of computer generated sequences and Gaelic melodies. Computer generated rhythms with small tonal pitch intervals (1 - 4 semitones) were easier to recall than large atonal intervals (predominantly greater than 4 semitones). Recall of Gaelic melodies, containing repetitive rhythmic units, was better than recall of computer sequences. Pitch reversal of Gaelic melodies did not effect recall. Beat-tapping with three Gaelic melodies revealed that the majority of listeners established the underlying beat 1.5 - 3 seconds (5 - 6 notes) after the start of the melodies. Perception of meaning and content in two note melodic intervals and three Gaelic melodies was examined using an adjective pair two-alternative forced choice task. Responses to musical intervals showed evidence of perceptual similarity based mainly on interval size. Perceived information content in the melodies increased significantly by the fourth note. The results suggest that the amounts of Gaelic melody which are: i) required to establish an underlying beat, ii) remembered after one hearing, and iii) perceptually grouped into a meaningful unit, include the unit of melody which is necessary to establish a basic meaning.

The present study is mainly a descriptive account of the food and feeding of the two Scottish powan populations from Loch Lomond and Loch Eck. Quantitative and qualitative comparisons of powan diet are made. Seasonal variations of diet are determined for the two populations and some aspects of the planktivorous feeding of adult pawan in Loch Lomond are examined. The partitioning of the ingested energy into somatic and non-somatic growth is considered. Factors affecting the feeding of the two populations are discussed.

Abstract:
AbstractHebridean rye (Secale cereale), a high-yield landrace grown by crofters in Scotland’s Highlands and Islands, has traditionally been used as livestock feed. This multi-author study presents and analyses findings into the crop’s potential as the raw material for locally produced flour, bread and beer, offering new opportunities in sustainable seed saving, small-scale agriculture, food production and eco-enterprise. The authors—part of the project’s multidisciplinary team of researchers, artisanal food producers and crofters—explicate aspects of the pioneering project, from conditions on Uist’s coastal machair where the rye originates, to testing seasonal varieties in mainland Lochaber and assessing nutritional qualities and consumer acceptance of novel products. They conclude that Hebridean rye, with its potential for crofters in remote locales and local businesses, could help in preserving agrobiodiversity, traditional knolwedge and practices, crofting culture and economic resilience in the north and north-west of Scotland.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 tracks the emergence of Black writers and a visible Black politics across Scottish literature in the ‘devolutionary moment’ following the referendum of 1979. The chapter proceeds chronologically, beginning with Wilson Harris’s Black Marsden (1972) as a model of Black Scottish writing, before working through the intellectual and literary context of Blackness in Scotland in the period. This history provides a two-fold excavation in order to show the under-recognised importance of Blackness in late twentieth-century Scottish writing. The first is of the significant work, particularly poetry and plays, of early Black Scottish writers Maud Sulter and Jackie Kay; and their relationship to national Scotland. The second is the expanding consciousness of Blackness both domestically and globally in the work of other Scottish writers such as Alasdair Gray, James Kelman, and Irvine Welsh.

Abstract:
Despite a passage in his Institutes Ferguson does not systematically order his historical narrative in terms of what is labelled (as short-hand) the ‘four stages’. Ferguson’s conception and typology of ‘arts’ is explored; more particularly it addresses his argument that all the arts are co-eval in human experience. Hence Ferguson claims of the basic 3-fold classification (made in the Principles) of commercial, political and ornamental arts that they are simultaneous. As he recognises this means it is mistake to prioritise, both chronologically and conceptually, those arts which attend to the exigencies of material life over those which serve the need for mental attainment and ornament.

Abstract:
Актуальное исследование заболеваемости гингивитом у кошек Шотландской породы выявило: у кошек, серебристого и золотистого окрасов, гингивит проявляется в более раннем возрасте, нежели у кошек других окрасов; при исследовании степени вислоухости наиболее частые манифестации гингивита наблюдались у экстремально вислоухих кошек, наименьшее количество проявлений у кошек прямоухого фенотипа. Current study of the incidence of gingivitis in Scottish breed cats has revealed: In cats of silver and golden colors, gingivitis manifests itself at an earlier age than in cats of other colors; when studying the degree of lop-eared, the most frequent manifestations of gingivitis were observed in extremely fold cats; least number of manifestations in cats of the straight-eared phenotype.

Full text
Abstract:
The FAO defines a sustainable diet as one that has low environmental impact, is beneficial for human health, and is culturally and socially acceptable and economically attainable. One step that has been suggested to improve the sustainability of the Scottish diet is to reduce meat consumption. In a 2013 study, Macdiarmid et al.1 found that the public lacked awareness of the association between meat consumption and climate change, and there was a resistance to the idea of eating less meat. In the ten years since this study was conducted, there has been considerable development in this area. The importance of climate change has been widely accepted and the contribution of food to climate change has been estimated. One visible response from food producers has been the recent boom in plant-based alternatives to animal products. But scientific evidence for the impacts of meat on health and the environment may not have filtered through to the public. We repeated Macdiarmid et al.’s study to (i) understand current public awareness of sustainable diets, (ii) determine willingness to reduce meat consumption and (iii) explore if these have changed over the last decade.

Abstract:
The NHS Scotland Climate Emergency and Sustainability Strategy requires that all health boards assess the value of the benefits that arise from NHS natural capital resources such as the green and blue spaces and biodiversity found within their outdoor estate. Scottish Environment, Food and Agriculture Research Institute (SEFARI) Gateway, jointly with Public Health Scotland (PHS) awarded a Fellowship to the named authors of this study to obtain reference health and wellbeing Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) economic values of the NHS Scotland outdoor estate. The research derived from this Fellowship builds on previous research commissioned by NatureScot and PHS (Holt et al., 2023). The study aims to characterise how NHS Scotland’s green, blue, or open spaces (e.g., NHS Scotland open spaces) are used and calculate the economic values derived from leisure and recreation in different outdoor spaces across different users. The results in this Report provide a better understanding of the flow of economic benefits across the NHS and the economy and provide evidence to inform the value of social and economic benefits that arise from investment in NHS open spaces. The methods described in this Report are applicable not only to the NHS estate but can be transferred to value similar public and private open (e.g. outdoor) spaces.

Full text
Abstract:
Listeria monocytogenes are bacteria that cause listeriosis, a disease which is very severe in vulnerable people. Vulnerable people include pregnant women, people over 65 years of age, infants, and those with a weakened immune system. While most semi-soft cheeses do not let L. monocytogenes grow, blue cheeses may be an exception, and pose a risk to vulnerable groups. L. monocytogenes is widespread in the environment and can grow at refrigeration temperatures. This makes it a particular problem in ready-to-eat foods such as cheese. It can also remain in the environment in food factories for several years as it can be difficult to remove. Foodborne listeriosis is a relatively rare illness in comparison to other foodborne diseases. A search found two potential listeriosis outbreaks and one individual case may have been caused by blue cheese worldwide. No listeriosis illnesses due to blue cheese were identified in the UK. Blue cheese is not frequently consumed by vulnerable consumers. When consumed, it is usually in low amounts. Published data from Scottish local authorities and the Food Standards Agency suggest that overall percentage of blue cheeses contaminated with L. monocytogenes in the UK is low. A search of the scientific literature on contamination in blue cheese from European countries found that most of these studies examined Gorgonzola cheese. The rinds of Gorgonzola were much more likely to be contaminated than the centre of the cheese. Research also shows that the acidic levels and levels of moisture in blue cheese can support L. monocytogenes growth. Most of these studies showed only a small amount of bacterial growth in the centre of the cheese.

Full text
Abstract:
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a member of the Hepeviridae family capable of infecting humans producing a range of symptoms from mild disease to kidney failure. Epidemiological evidence suggests that hepatitis E genotype III and IV cases may be associated with the consumption of undercooked pork meat, offal and processed products such as sausages [1]. A study carried out by the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA), found hepatitis E virus contamination in the UK pork production chain and that 10% of a small sample of retail pork sausages were contaminated with the virus [2]. Furthermore, studies have confirmed the presence of HEV in the food chain and the foodborne transmission of Hepatitis E virus to humans [reviewed in 5]. Likewise, Scottish shellfish at retail [6] have also been found positive for HEV viral nucleic acid and some preliminary studies indicate that the virus is also detectable in soft fruits (L Scobie; unpublished data). There are current misunderstandings in what this data represents, and these studies have raised further questions concerning the infectivity of the virus, the processing of these foods by industry and the cooking and/or preparation by caterers and consumers. There are significant gaps in the knowledge around viral infectivity, in particular the nature of the preparation of food matrices to isolate the virus, and also with respect to a consistent and suitable assay for confirming infectivity [1,3]. Currently, there is no suitable test for infectivity, and, in addition, we have no knowledge if specific food items would be detrimental to cells when assessing the presence of infectious virus in vitro. The FSA finalised a comprehensive critical review on the approaches to assess the infectivity of the HEV virus which is published [3] recommending that a cell culture based method should be developed for use with food. In order to proceed with the development of an infectivity culture method, there is a requirement to assess if food matrices are detrimental to cell culture cell survival. Other issues that may have affected the ability to develop a consistent method are the length of time the virally contaminated sample is exposed to the cells and the concentration of the virus present. In most cases, the sample is only exposed to the cells for around 1 hour and it has been shown that if the concentration is less that 1x103 copies then infection is not established [3,5,10,11].
