Report of the IVth Workshop of the Spanish National Network on Mycotoxins and Toxigenic Fungi and Their Decontamination Processes (MICOFOOD), Held in…
2019
Ensiling is a practice commonly employed worldwide to preserve different kinds of crops for long periods of storage with similar nutritional values to the fresh materials. Since silages are one of the major components of the ruminant diet, these materials represent a potential source of mycotoxins as a consequence of the growth of filamentous fungi. The aim of this study was to analyse the presence of aflatoxins and Fusarium mycotoxins in different types of silages (maize, grass, alfalfa, sugar beet pulp, immature corn and ryegrass) collected in dairy farms located in four Spanish regions. Fungal populations, lactic acid bacteria, pH and water activity of the samples were also evaluated. Pe…

2019
Dotā zinātniskā pētījuma temats ir izpētīt dažādus angļu valodas vārdu krājuma attīstīšanas veidus tehnikuma ēdināšanas pakalpojumu specialitātes audzēkņu apmācībā. Viena no problēmām apgūstot profesionālo vārdu krājumu ir, ka nav pietiekošu mācību materiālu, kas palīdzētu audzēkņiem uzlabot to un mūsdienu skolēniem vairs nepatīk tradicionālā mācīšanās no grāmatām, kā tas bija agrāk. Bez tam, neviens mācību līdzeklis nepievērš uzmanību skolēnu mācīšanās stiliem, kas ietekmē viņu mācīšanās rezultātus. Pamatojoties uz teorētiskās literatūras izpēti par angļu valodas mācīšanu īpašiem nolūkiem, vārdu krājuma attīstīšanu vispārīgajā un profesionālajā angļu valodā un dažādiem mācīšanās stiliem, t…
