Genomic and molecular characterization of bovine surfactant protein D (SP-D)
No full textCollectins are a group of C-type lectins involved in the innate host defense against pathogens. They selectively recognize non-self glyco-conjugates on the surface of microorganisms and induce lysis, agglutination, and phagocytosis to eliminate invading microorganisms. With the perspective of being able to identify surfactant protein D (SP-D) polymorphisms associated with immune-compromised phenotypes in cattle, we have characterized the gene encoding bovine SP-D and its proximal promoter. Cloning and sequencing of the bSP-D gene, including the complete 5'-untranslated sequence, reveal that the gene comprises nine exons spanning approximately 10.5 kb with an organization resembling the bovine conglutinin gene. The gene localizes to the same locus as the conglutinin gene on Bos taurus chromosome 28 at position q1.8, which also includes the genes encoding CL-43 and CL-46. Several potential cis-regulatory elements, similar to elements known to regulate the transcription of human SP-D, were identified in the 5'-upstream sequence. RT-PCR analysis revealed that bovine SP-D is heavily expressed in the lung and the trachea, but also in segments of the gastrointestinal tract, the mammary glands and the salivary glands. By genotyping we assigned two potential polymorphisms leading to variations in the amino acid composition of the carbohydrate recognition domain (242 Glu/Val and 268 Ala/Gly).<br/

Draft Genome Sequence of Clostridium tyrobutyricum Strain DIVETGP, Isolated from Cow's Milk for Grana Padano Production
No full textWe announce the draft genome sequence of Clostridium tyrobutyricum strain DIVETGP. This strain was isolated from cow's milk used for Grana Padano cheese production. The genome was obtained using Illumina HiSeq technology and comprises 45 contigs for 3,018,999 bp, with a G+C content of 30.8%

No full textExamining the Effects of the Mealtime PREP Intervention for Toddlers With Sensory Food Aversions
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
The Mealtime PREP intervention shows promise to improve dietary variety and mealtime behaviors and lower risk of nutritional deficiency in toddlers with sensory food aversions. Moderate to large effect sizes were observed in a small sample of 11 families trained to deliver this intervention in the home.

Kvalitetssikring af læreruddannelsens Third Mission
No full textDe videregående uddannelser er blevet kritiseret for kun at fokusere på uddannelse og forskning, og der er rejst krav om en Third Mission (TM): at læreanstalterne også ’bidrager til samfundet’ (Compagnucci & Spigarelli, 2020). Men hvordan vurdere TM-kvalitet? Akkreditering ser udelukkende efter kvantitativ compliance mellem indsats og effekt (Bendixen & Jacobsen, 2017; 2019; 2022). Vi vil undersøge, hvordan den kommende læreruddannelses TM kan kvalitetsbedømmes ud fra mere dynamiske kvalitetskriterier, som vi efter Pinheiro et al. (2017) har valgt at kalde for en uddannelses samfundsresonans. I denne artikel vil vi (a) gennemføre en historisk dokumentanalyse af, hvorvidt den aktuelle institutionsakkreditering 2.0 indfanger ovennævnte TM-kvaliteter, (b) beskrive TM i den ny læreruddannelse ud fra Bekendtgørelsen (BEK 374, 2023) og (c) give eksempler på, hvordan man løbende kan kvalitetsbedømme TM i den kommende læreruddannelse.

Remittance behavior among new U.S. immigrants
No full textI analyze remittance behavior among new legal immigrants in the US using a nationally representative survey of immigrants admitted to legal permanent residency in 2003. I find that the distribution of remittances is skewed to the right, with a small number of immigrants sending very large amounts. I find evidence against the pure altruism model and find that remittances may be used for investments in the home country. Using longitudinal data from the NIS, I construct a measure of permanent income and estimate remittance-income elasticities. I find that large country differentials in remittance behavior are only partially explained by observable characteristics of the donor, recipient and origin country. Future work will incorporate later waves of the 2003 NIS in order to observe return migration (and its relationship to remittance and home country investment decisions) and life cycle income-remittance movements.Immigrants ; Remittances
