Recommendations for respiratory syncytial virus surveillance at national level

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections and hospitalisations among young children and is globally responsible for many deaths in young children, especially in infants aged <6 months. Furthermore, RSV is a common cause of severe respiratory disease and hospitalisation among older adults. The development of new candidate vaccines and monoclonal antibodies highlights the need for reliable surveillance of RSV. In the European Union (EU), no up-to-date general recommendations on RSV surveillance are currently available. Based on outcomes of a workshop with 29 European experts in the field of RSV virology, epidemiology and public health, we provide recommendations for developing a feasible and sustainable national surveillance strategy for RSV that will enable harmonisation and data comparison at the European level. We discuss three surveillance components: active sentinel community surveillance, active sentinel hospital surveillance and passive laboratory surveillance, using the EU acute respiratory infection and World Health Organization (WHO) extended severe acute respiratory infection case definitions. Furthermore, we recommend the use of quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR-based assays as the standard detection method for RSV and virus genetic characterisation, if possible, to monitor genetic evolution. These guidelines provide a basis for good quality, feasible and affordable surveillance of RSV. Harmonisation of surveillance standards at the European and global level will contribute to the wider availability of national level RSV surveillance data for regional and global analysis, and for estimation of RSV burden and the impact of future immunisation programmes

Basic analytical components changing during the final stages of beer production

The aim of this thesis is to observe the final phase of beer production in cylinder-conical fermentation and ripening tanks. The task is to observe and measure basic analytical parameters while finishing beer fermentation, that include: % alcohol (weight), % alcohol (vol.), % real extract, % apparent extract, % extract of the original wort, relative density, and osmotic pressure. The theoretical part of this thesis explains the concept of beer, further it clarifies legislative requirements on beer production, requirements on quality and ingredients. It further describes the chemical composition of beer, the fermentation of beer, as well as the principle of the functioning of cylindro-conical fermentation and ripening tanks. The practical part of the diploma thesis compares data gained through measurements of samples of 10° and 12° bottom fermented beer of Pilsner type, a half of samples being taken from cylindro-conical tanks, and the second half being taken from open tubs. Other chapters provide the processed results of inividual measurings, and the conclusion sums up all the facts that were found
