BACKGROUND: Extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (ESCRE) are an increasing healthcare problem in both human and veterinary medicine. The spread of ESCRE is complex with multiple reservoirs and different transmission routes. The aim of this study was to investigate if ESCRE carriage in dogs is more prevalent in households with a known human carrier, compared to households wh

Mutations in the PARK2 gene, which encodes PARKIN, are the most frequent cause of autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease (PD). We report the generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from a 78-year-old patient carrying a compound heterozygous mutation (c.823C > T and EX6del) in the PARK2 gene. Skin fibroblasts were reprogrammed using the non-integrating Sendai virus technology to

Against the grain of the paradigmatic postcolonial analytics of the colonial state, this chapter presents a non-dichotomous comparison of two regimes within the late 18th century Danish empire, which are commonly presumed to be of essentially different kinds - namely the colonial state in Tranquebar in South East India and the metropolitan government of rural Danish society. By focusing, firstly,

The focus of this paper is on aid and relief work after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami in Thailand. Six provinces in the south of Thailand were hit by the tsunami and the catastrophe is estimated to have altered the lives of more than 50,000 people. A disaster always hits the underprivileged hardest. Many of those who survived the tsunami had lost their homes, families, relatives, and neighbours, a

Conventional views of the police support a norm of emotion management. Aspiring police officers are taught not to show pain or fear and to display an image of control and assertion. If failing to convey such emotions officers might be considered too weak or simply not “man enough” for the job. This is also the case concerning border guarding and border police conduct. This study draws on data gath

The aim of this study was to analyze the added utility of contrast administration for spine MRI in children with scoliosis. A retrospective review of 663 consecutive contrast-enhanced spine MRI performed in 319 patients as part of the work up of scoliosis in children 2-18 years with clinically suspected or known scoliosis over a seven year period. Those patients with known tumors (13 patients) bei

Location management in cellular networks have been in focus for the research community for a number of years. The current static method of determining location or paging areas has been shown to be sub- optimal and costly for operators. Therefore, much research has been focussed on dynamic schemes, which show great promise in cost optimisation. However, the research has still been focussed on aggre

The cognitive- and neuro-sciences have supposed that the perceptual world of the individual is dominated by vision, followed closely by audition, but that olfaction is merely vestigial. Aslian-speaking communities (Austroasiatic, Malay Peninsula) challenge this view. For the Jahai — a small group of rainforest foragers — odor plays a central role in both culture and language. Jahai ideology revolv

Mobility, quality of service (QoS) support, and multicast routing capability are important requirements for today’s networks. This is a result of the changes in wireless users’ expectations, which favour group-oriented, high-quality, multimedia communication. Ad hoc networks enhanced with QoS multicasting strategies can provide users with these features. This paper defines the building blocks of a

Despite the perceived role of retailers to realize corporate supply chain responsibility, retailers face a number of structural and managerial challenges to effectively influence the sustainability parameters in upstream supply chain. At the same time, research that touches upon implementation of sustainable sourcing by food retailers is limited leaving aside the inter-organisational managerial im
