Foodborne diseases remain a major threat to global public health. Problems in detecting the threats at early stages in the supply chain due to defects in surveillance systems cannot be ignored. The primary goal of this article is to evaluate the capabilities of foodborne disease surveillance systems known for their effectiveness and functionality in order to highlight solutions for preventing and managing the outbreaks more effectively. For this purpose, early detection, notification and monitoring systems of the European Union (EU) and the United States were compared in terms of capability gaps and critical needs via an in-depth examination of two standout outbreaks.

Development of nucleic acid based lateral flow immunochromatographic test platform for salmonella detection Bulut, Onur; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biology (2014) Foodborne diseases have been a crucial problem for the public health. Various agents transmitted by food cause these diseases. However, Salmonella accounts for most of the cases leading to most of the hospitalization and even death. Therefore, rapid detection of Salmonella is a considerable step in order to improve food safety and minimize outbreaks. Nucleic acid based biosensors are fast, simple, economic, easy-to-use and do not require trained personnel or high-cost equipments when compared to the current...
EMPIRICAL ANALYSES OF THE DUTCH DISEASE IN AZERBAIJAN’S ECONOMY Safarli, Uzeyir; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2022-12) Dutch Disease syndrome has been frequently investigated in the literature and observed as a threat to the resource-rich economies. Basically, it describes a phenomenon which increasing activity in a booming resource sector harms overall economy and decreases growth. This thesis analyzes effects of the petroleum sector employing various indicators ( export of the petroleum sector, transfers from SOFAZ, and price shocks) on various units of the economy namely GDP growth, output in the non-oil tradable sector,...
Challenges in Development and Implementation of Health-Risk-Based Soil Quality Guidelines: Turkey's Experience Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Buyuker, Beril; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Ipek, Meltem H.; Polat, Sener; Yetiş, Ülkü; Ünlü, Kahraman (Wiley, 2011-04-01) Management of contaminated sites is a critical environmental issue around the world due to the human health risk involved for many sites and scarcity of funding. Moreover, clean-up costs of all contaminated sites to their background levels with existing engineering technologies may be financially infeasible and demand extended periods of operation time. Given these constraints, to achieve optimal utilization of available funds and prioritization of contaminated sites that need immediate attention, health-ri...
Recent trends in advanced oxidation process-based degradation of erythromycin: Pollution status, eco-toxicity and degradation mechanism in aquatic ecosystems Ashraf, Aniqa; Liu, Guijian; Yousaf, Balal; Arif, Muhammad; Ahmed, Rafay; Irshad, Samina; Cheema, Ayesha Imtiyaz; Rashid, Audil; Gulzaman, Humaira (2021-06-01) Wide spread documentation of antibiotic pollution is becoming a threat to aquatic environment. Erythromycin (ERY), a macrolide belonging antibiotic is at the top of this list with its concentrations ranging between ng/L to a few mu g/L in various global waterbodies giving rise to ERY-resistance genes (ERY-RGs) and ERY- resistance bacteria (ERY-RBs) posing serious threat to the aquatic organisms. ERY seems resistant to various conventional water treatments, remained intact and even increased in terms of mass...
Comparison of thermal sterilization and high hydrostatic pressure-HHP on furan formation, microbial and nutritional quality in commercial baby foods Kültür, Gülçin; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2013) Furan, which is a lipophilic contaminant and formed during heating process in foods, has been pointed out as a danger in baby foods since it has been classified as “possibly carcinogenic to human” by IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer). Hence, a great concern has been addressed to the analysis of this substance in baby foods. This study aims to prove that sterilization of baby foods is possible by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) without allowing the formation of furan. Firstly, HHP treatments...
