“…In the identification of isolated bacteria the presence of pathogenic Staphylococcus not confirmed. In a study on the microbiological status of smoked fish obtained from Nigeria, the content of coagulasepositive staphylococci was higher, ranging from 3.95 log 10 cfu/g in herring and 3.78 log 10 cfu/g in catfish (2). The isolated staphylococci (Staphylococcus pasteuri, Staphylococcus warneri, Staphylococcus epidermidis as well as Streptococcus intermedius, Staphylococcus cohnii, Staphylococcus xylosus) are confirmed as commensal bacteria with increasing infectious potential.…”

Fish and fishery products are considered to be one of the most nutrient-rich dietary products. The nutritional value of fish depends on its freshness. The greatest role in fish spoilage is played by microbial decomposition. Smoking is one of the methods of fish preservation based on the action of temperature and the penetration into the tissue of preservative substances produced by burning wood. Almost all microorganisms except some pathogenic bacteria are destroyed in the smoking process; nevertheless, fish can be a source of some pathogenic microorganisms, i.e. Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus spp., which are present as the result of cross-contamination at the stage after smoking, i.e. marketing and storage (4, 5, 8). Improper and unhygienic handling practices with the ready-to-eat RTE product are also the cause of an increase of the total microbiological contamination, which can be expressed by microbiological contamination indicators, i.e. total viable count (TVC), psychrophilic bacteria count (PBC), coliform count (EBC), total yeast and mould count (TYMC) and total staphylococci count (TSC). In the performed study five smoked fish species (redfish, mackerel, codfish, sprat and herring) were tested at the marketing stage. A total number of 50 (N = 50) samples was tested according to ISO standards. The potential foodborne bacteria in the tested samples were identified using a MALDI-TOF spectrometer combined with MALDI-Biotyper 3.0 software. In the performed study, the highest microbiology contamination TVC on the level 3.63 ± 0.15 log10 cfu/g and PBC on the level 3.04 ± 0.24 log10 cfu/g has been found in redfish muscle compared to herring, codfish, sprat and mackerel muscle. A significantly lower amount of 1.26 ± 0.12 log10 cfu/g yeast and moulds of was found in the muscle tissue of herring, compared to the other tested fish. The highest staphylococcal contamination of muscle tissue of redfish on the level 2.56 ± 0.15 log10 cfu/g and mackerel on the level 2.13 ± 0.15 log10 cfu/g was found. MALDI-TOF identification of isolated bacteria not confirmed the presence of Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes and pathogenic Staphylococci and confirmed the presence of E. coli in tested redfish.

“…27 such as in the case of uniforms, 32 or through cultural planning and remembrance. 33 Solidarity is likewise enacted differently in relation to time depending on when and how fabric is employed. The public display of fabric may itself be an evangelical tool, 34 (what might elsewhere be called a church edifice) for the service.…”

This paper develops a perspective on fabric and its use in religious settings working from a comparative survey of critical literature arising, primarily, from anthropological writings on cloth and clothing in conjunction with insights gained from ethnographic research among Eastern Orthodox Christians. While the character of Orthodox Christianity, and the broad nature of comparative religion, shape how the argument is presented, the primary focus of the paper is not on the religious contexts, but rather the particular items of fabric in use, and, more generally, the exact qualities of fabric that allow for its use in such diverse contexts. Rather than taking an argument of historical specificity, the paper is grounded in a material culture approach to fabric, suggesting that a cross-cultural appraisal of fabric that spans different historical periods allows critical insight into the modes of operation within human experience. The central argument of the paper is that, because of the material qualities inherent in fabric, it can be used in such a manner as to make present the sacred.

Reclaiming tradition, fashioning citizenship: Ankara in contemporary Brazilian Afrocentric fashion

This article explores the ways in which fashion consumption shaped the understandings of citizenship and belonging in colonial and postcolonial Nigeria and Brazil. It focuses on ankara, a printed textile that was brought to West Africa by European merchants and Christian missionaries. The article examines how African materials, such as ankara, challenged modern beauty standards and have been used to control people during colonization. In Nigeria, ankara became a symbol of the new Christian citizen, while in contemporary Brazil, it was used to challenge western fashion and celebrate African heritage. The article uses visual art, literature and interviews with fashion designers in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Salvador to show how ankara has become a part of Afrocentric Brazilian fashion. Overall, the study of ankara shows how fashion has been used as a tool of oppression and how its oppressive history is in the process of changing, thanks to modern Afro-Brazilian fashion designers.
