| Increasing pathogen resistance to antimicrobials threatens every human-being globally. Alternative methods and solutions for fighting against infectious diseases are urgently needed. Honey has been used as a traditional medicine for centuries and its antimicrobial properties have been revealed in several in vitro studies against wide variety of human pathogenic bacterial species, including antibiotic resistant strains. Research on antimicrobial activity of organic honeys is a novel approach and may lead to unknown antimicrobial mechanisms and factors. It also represents sustainable development. In the present study we show that Finnish organic honeys have antimicrobial activity against the growth of human pathogenic organisms E. coli, S. typhi, P.... |

| The study applies qualitative methods to reach a more in-depth understanding of Chinese tourists’ relations to food during their visit to Finland. The main interest is to find out how they perceive food and tourism, local food, environmentally friendly food and organic food during their trip. The preliminary results show that the Finnish food and food culture is not familiar among Chinese tourists and they have difficulties to identify the local food in holiday destinations. Concept of organic food was better understood than environmentally friendly food. Attributes like healthy, safer, natural, green, expensive and luxury were associated to the organic food. Additionally, organic food was considered to fulfill high quality standards. |

| Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) resistance, similar to climate change, is a shared global problem. AMR threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections. There are plenty of resistant bacteria that cause common infections such as urinary tract infections and pneumonia. In addition to causing death, disability and suffering AMR has huge economic impacts. The alarming increase in drug-resistant bacteria means that there is a need for novel means of fighting against bacterial infections. One feasible approach is to use agents that interfere with the ability of the bacteria to adhere to the tissues of the host, the initial stages of the infectious process. Our research project deals with milk oligosaccharides, wild berry... |
