Processing Strategies to Inactivate Hepatitis A Virus in Food Products: A Critical Review
2015
Hepatitis A infection, caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV), is the leading cause of human viral hepatitis throughout the world and is mainly propagated via the fecal–oral route. Transnational outbreaks of food-borne infections are reported with increasing frequency as a consequence of international food trade. Food-borne outbreaks caused by HAV are mainly associated with bivalve molluscs, produce (soft fruits and leafy greens), and ready-to-eat meals. The purpose of this paper was to conduct a structured and systematic review of the published literature on the current state of knowledge regarding the stability of HAV in foods as well as the efficacy of food processing strategies and to identi…
Team Identification and Football Culture
2015
The two previous chapters have shown the importance of identification with the main football clubs in Spanish football culture. While the first chapter presented the fact that 66.8 per cent of Spanish adults identify with a football club, the second — among other aspects — offered a description of the way these feelings of identification have evolved during the 20th century.
Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance
2015
Unlike what is usually assumed, racism is neither a phenomenon of the past nor exclusive to other latitudes. As Wieviorka points out (2009, p. 15), today there has been a surprising return of racism, even in societies that could be expected to be ridding themselves of it. Until the 1960s, the outlook clearly seemed optimistic, as the prevailing idea was that political and economic progress would end up burying phenomena of this type. This hypothesis, however, was soon revealed to be overly optimistic. Racism currently exists in European societies, and it is one of the great challenges of their present and future. Therefore, regardless of future social evolution, it is likely that European s…
The Metamorphosis of Football Clubs
2015
In recent decades, Spanish football clubs have experienced an extraordinary transformation process that has decisively influenced their organizational structure. This chapter uses a sociological approach to study Spanish football clubs’ origin and evolution throughout the 20th century and until the present day. It includes an analysis of their recent processes of structural differentiation and their progressive transformation into transnational corporations, as well as an examination of the fans’ perspective on these transformations.
Hooligans, Ultras and Vandals
2015
Football hooliganism in its modern sense is often said to have started in Great Britain in 1961, after a serious riot broke out during a match between Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland; although crowd disorder was not unknown in other countries, this event is regarded as the birth date of the so-called ‘English disease’, which grew in seriousness and extent over the next few decades. The increasing professionalization and internationalization of English football during the 1950s generated a need for greater profits in football clubs that brought about a reorganization of stadiums (Taylor, 1971). Due to this reorganization, young working-class people were relocated at the ends of the stadiums…
The Decline of the Spanish Fury
2015
Before the Spanish national team won the UEFA Euro 2008 tournament, it had been said that the economic take-off and growing international relevance acquired by Spanish society since the restoration of democracy after the death of General Franco had not been reflected in Spanish football. Its main representative, the Spanish national football team did not manage to obtain significant victories in the most important international championships or develop a playing style that satisfied its followers. This fact strongly contrasted with the protagonist role and huge success achieved by the main Spanish football clubs at the European level. However, the victory of the Spanish national team in Eur…

Den sakrale og den profane fotballen – om forskjeller i medias dekning av kvinne- og herrefotball på Sørlandet
2021
I denne artikkelen diskuterer vi kjønnede framstillinger i medias dekning av fotball på Sørlandet ved å analysere de to største avisene Fædrelandsvennen og Agderposten sin dekning av fotballagene Amazon Grimstad (kvinnelag) og FK Jerv (herrelag). Det viser seg at dekningen er asymmetrisk på flere områder. Jerv blir framstilt som et lag med gode spillere, vakkert spill, gode resultater og som et sterkt kollektiv av individuelle spillere, mens dekningen av Amazon er blottet for slike karakteristika. I dekningen av kvinnefotballaget er oppmerksomheten rettet mot økonomiske problemer, sponsorbråk og dårlige resultater. Ved å bruke kultur- og kjønnsteoretiske tilnærminger ser vi hvordan medias d…
