Abstract:
Abstract The aim of this paper is to evaluate the sustainability of a novel internet-based system for food logistics and to create a framework for more detailed future sustainability assessments. Digitalization enables food shopping via the internet and food delivery from producers to consumers using only a single terminal. The sustainability of different food logistic options was evaluated through a literature review and life cycle assessment. Given the frame of reference, there is a gap in the knowledge on the sustainability of food logistics. In addition, the current literature does not recognize a novel internet-based system for food logistics, as the literature has focused on evaluating the internet-based food logistics of traditional actors. The life cycle assessment results show that new food logistic options could reduce GHG emissions, but various factors affect the magnitude of the reductions. We also present a systematic approach to which factors should be included in future research. This paper creates a base for more detailed future food logistic sustainability assessments.

Abstract:
Quality of game is more and more important for customers. How can we supply customers with good quality meat? Logistics process of meet of wild animals is a special field of foodstuff. We use it for supply chains, buy and sell products, for information and our knowledge. I try to understand the logistic methodology for a special process. In agri-business sector we can speak, talk a lot about necessity of well organized networks, chains but there are not enough experts, workers organizing and doing this. You can find many parts of business activities using logistics at acceptable level and quality, but some area is not written in scientific style. In my paper I would like to speak about a very special segment of agri-business sector, which is game in logistics process. I mention some information about quality and food safety aspects of it.

Abstract:
How to understand logistics in agro-food business? Logistic activities considerably changed in the last few years. The original aim of satisfying quantity needs has been followed by the logistic activity which meets the market's requirements, aims at satisfying the individual needs instead of standardized solutions, maximal the additional values, and finally, which gives a complex service. You can find special process of it in agriculture and food industry. These together mean a significant challenge for this profession. In our paper we try to understand methodology of logistics in agro-food business.

Abstract:
The aim of the Paper is to identify the types of short food supply chains (SFSCs), their spread today, and to demonstrate the advantages or disadvantages they provide, especially the logistical problems and solutions that can be identified in the chain. In order to achieve this goal, we carried out a review of international and Hungarian literature sources and secondary data. It can be stated that SFSCs can be a viable alternative to conventional supply chains pursuing a global distribution strategy. Establishing a restricted geographic range of supply provides several benefits to local producers, consumers and society. However, there are serious concerns about logistical costs and associated emissions. To overcome this, there is a need for compromises. The practical example we present shows that the use of conventional „less short” sales channels in the distribution mix is reasonable even in the case of local foods.

Abstract:
Market segmentation is fundamental in marketing strategy and the first step of market-based strategy preparation, to strengthen its marketing efficiency, and creating opportunities for sales growth and profits. This also applies to market segmentation logistics service providers (TPL - Third Party Logistics), the market is highly developed in the last decade, so that the logistics service providers has to develop marketing strategies properly. The purpose of this research is to gain a better understanding of different industries that exist today and map the needs of the logistics services of TPL customers. Based on exploration research conducted, it can be found in conformities relating to the logistics industry from several companies, ie appropriateness to the complexity of logistics activities of some companies and degree of investment of TPL services company in conducting the activity. Logistics service provider market segmentation can be based on variable complexity of logistics activities, whether it is high, medium or low and variable degrees of investment in the company whether minor, major, or integrated/total. Companies in different industries can have the same logistic service requirements and companies in the same industry can have different logistic service requirements. Client companies for logistics service providers which product handling are classified as semi-complex is the most attractive customer segments for being penetrated. The industries are classified into this segment is automotive, food and beverage, animal food, ceramic, and plantation.

Abstract:
The functional food market is one of the fastest growing segments of the global food industry. The aims of this study were to understand the association of demographic characteristics and food choice motives (FCMs) with (a) attitudes toward functional foods and (b) consumption of functional foods in Australian emerging adults. Data were collected through a paper-based and online questionnaire completed by 370 young adults aged between 17 and 29 years. A binomial logistic regression was used to determine the association between demographic characteristics and FCMs with attitudes towards functional foods. The logistic regression model was statistically significant at χ2(11) = 48.310 (p < 0.001) and explained 18.1% of the variance in attitude towards functional food. Of the several predictors, only the FCMs natural content and weight control were statistically significant. A binomial logistic regression was also used to determine the association between demographic characteristics and FCMs with the consumption of functional foods. The logistic regression model was statistically significant at χ2(9) = 37.499 (p < 0.001) and explained 14.1% of the variance in functional food consumption. Of the eight predictors, three were statistically significant: living situation, natural content and health. Findings highlight that when targeting emerging adults, functional food companies could benefit from promoting the natural and health properties of their products. Furthermore, consumption can be increased by targeting the parents of emerging adults and by designing functional foods that attract emerging adults interested in controlling weight.

Abstract:
Garut has many famous traditional foods. These traditional foods continue to exist despite the changing times and changes in people's consumption patterns. Consumers' preferences for traditional foods such as dodol, skin crackers, wajit, rengginang, and processed bananas thoughted to reflect the various patterns of demand for these traditional foods. This study aims to analyze the effect of price, income, education, taste, and promotion as people's preferences for traditional Garut food and analyze people's demand for traditional Garut food, using primary data with a sample of 100 respondents determined based on accidental sampling. The analysis used was logistic regression and the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS). This research offers novelty in the form of promotional variables, and demand analysis through the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) approach analyzes the demand for traditional Garut food. The study results are (1) Price has a significant positive effect on people's preferences for traditional food. Income and education do not affect people's preferences for traditional food. Food taste and promotion have a significant positive effect on people's preferences for traditional food. (2) The highest demand for traditional food is dodol. The price changes have not influenced the demand for traditional food or inelastic elasticity. The price elasticity itself is positive inelastic, while most of the cross elasticity is positive, which means that traditional foods replace one another (substitutions).

Abstract:
There is significant interest by the food industry in applying milder processing conditions. A major area of research within predictive modelling has been the search for models which accurately predict the effect of combining multiple processes or hurdles. For a mild process, which has temperature as the major microbial injury step, the effect of the other combined hurdles in inhibiting growth of the injured organisms must be understood. The latter means that the inoculum size dependency of the time to growth must also be fully understood. This essentially links injury steps with the potential for growth. Herein, we have been developing the use of optical density (O.D) for obtaining growth rates and lag times using multiple inocula rather than using the traditional methods which use one single inoculum. All analyses were performed in the Bioscreen analyser which measures O.D. The time to detection (TTD) was defined as the time needed for each inoculum to reach an O.D=0.2 and O.D was related to microbial numbers with simple calibration curves. Several primary models were used to predict growth curves from O.D data and it was shown that the classic logistic, the Baranyi and the 3-phase linear model (3-PLM) were the most capable primary models of those examined while the modified Gompertz and modified logistic could not reproduce TTD data. Using the Malthusian approximation of the logistic model the effect of mild temperature shifts was studied. The data obtained showed that for mild temperature shifts, growth rates quickly changed to the new environment without the induction of lags. The growth of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli was studied at 30⁰C and/or 37⁰C, in different NaCl concentrations, pH and their combinations. The classical 3-parameter logistic with lag model was rearranged to provide the theoretical foundation for the observed TTD and accurate growth rates and lag times could be estimated. As the conditions became more unfavourable, the lag time increased while the growth rate decreased. Also, the growth rate was found to be independent from the inoculum size; the inoculum size affected only the TTD. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MICNaCl and MICpH) was calculated using the Lambert and Pearson model (LPM) and also the Growth/No Growth (G/NG) interface was determined using combinations of NaCl and pH. These data were transformed in rate to detection (RTD) and fitted with a response surface model (RSM) which was subsequently compared with the Extended LPM (ELPM). The LPM and the ELPM could analyse results from individual and combined inhibitors, respectively. Following a mild thermal process a lag due to thermal injury was also induced, the magnitude of which was dependent on the organism and environmental conditions; the observed distribution of the lags appeared, in general, to follow the Log-normal distribution. After the lag period due to injury, growth recommenced at the rate dictated by the growth environment present. Traditional growth curves were constructed and compared with the data obtained from the Bioscreen under the same conditions. From the results obtained, it can be suggested that the increased lag times and growth rates obtained from the traditional plate counts compared with the values obtained from the Bioscreen microbiological analyser, might be an artifact of the plating method or may be due to the use of the modified Gompertz to study the growth. In conclusion, O.D can be used to accurately determine growth parameters, to give a better understanding and quantify the G/NG interface and to examine a wealth of phenomena such as fluctuating temperatures and mild thermal treatments. The comparison between the traditional growth curves against the data obtained from the Bioscreen showed that the TTD method is a rapid, more accurate and cheaper method than the traditional plate count method which in combination with the models developed herein can offer new possibilities both to the research and the food industry.

Abstract:
Product similarity matching for food retail is studied in this thesis. The goal is to find products that are similar but not necessarily of the same brand which can be used as a replacement product for a product that is out of stock or does not exist in a specific store. The aim of the thesis is to examine which machine learning model that is best suited to perform the product similarity matching. The product data used for training the models were name, description, nutrients, weight and filters (labels, for example organic). Product similarity matching was performed pairwise and the similarity between the products was measured by jaccard distance for text attributes and relative difference for numeric values. Random Forest, Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machines were tested and compared to a baseline. The baseline computed the jaccard distance for the product names and did the classification based on a threshold value of the jaccard distance. The result was measured by accuracy, F-measure and AUC score. Random Forest performed best in terms of all evaluation metrics and Logistic Regression, Random Forest and Support Vector Machines all performed better than the baseline.
I den här rapporten studeras produktliknande matchning för livsmedel. Målet är att hitta produkter som är liknande men inte nödvändigtvis har samma märke som kan vara en ersättningsprodukt till en produkt som är slutsåld eller inte säljs i en specifik affär. Syftet med den här rapporten är att undersöka vilken maskininlärningsmodel som är bäst lämpad för att göra produktliknande matchning. Produktdatan som användes för att träna modellerna var namn, beskrivning, näringsvärden, vikt och märkning (exempelvis ekologisk). Produktmatchningen gjordes parvis och likhet mellan produkterna beräknades genom jaccard index för textattribut och relativ differens för numeriska värden. Random Forest, logistisk regression och Support Vector Machines testades och jämfördes mot en baslinje. I baslinjen räknades jaccard index ut enbart för produkternas namn och klassificeringen gjordes genom att använda ett tröskelvärde för jaccard indexet. Resultatet mättes genom noggrannhet, F-measure och AUC. Random Forest presterade bäst sett till alla prestationsmått och logistisk regression, Random Forest och Support Vector Machines gav alla bättre resultat än baslinjen.

Abstract:
One of the elements that characterize the process of economic globalization is the development of freight logistics as a strategic sector to determine the competitive advantages of urban regions. This study analyses the link between market changes, state reorganisation and the development of urban logistics infrastructures. The entry point for this analysis is the study of the policies that have produced and governed over time two European wholesale food markets: the Marché d’Intérêt National of Rungis and the General Markets of Milan. The paired comparison of these two cases explains how market and state structural changes have influenced the constitutive elements of both infrastructural policies and why today two wholesale markets, which were initially very similar from an analytical point of view, have nowadays two very different policy outcomes. Using a theoretical and methodological approach based on the contributions of historical neo-institutionalism and urban political economy, the role of interest groups, political actors, policy rules and the market forces are linked to these divergent outcomes of present time. These factors are interrelated to explain the policy conversion observed for MIN Rungis and the policy drift in the case of Milan. Finally, the policy processes that led to policy changes that are explained in terms of causal mechanisms. The analysis highlights the central role of local policy rules and political context in determining the ability of local interest groups to influence decision-making processes, and the effect of their mobilization on the development of these urban infrastructures.

Abstract:
Parenting practices used to restrict children's consumption of palatable foods like lollies and chips have been implicated as contributing to obesity, but there is limited knowledge of the nature and dimensions of this phenomenon. Using a mixed methods approach, key dimensions were identified and a conceptual framework developed to improve future measurement of this phenomenon. Key dimensions included: variability in mothers' restrictive feeding intentions towards different foods and drinks; low restriction associated with higher child liking for sweet foods; mothers' communicating restricted foods as "treats"; and mothers own liking for restricted foods associated with higher child access and liking.

Abstract:
Logistics is typically defined as the design and operation of the physical, managerial and informational systems needed to allow goods to overcome space and time. Traditional models and methods for logistic system design and management focus on the optimization of the techno-economic performances. However, logistic activities are distinguished by a huge environmental impact. For instance, the final energy consumption for freight transportation reached in recent years the alarming value of 13% of the total end-use energy worldwide, equal to 40 EJ per year. Thus, innovative techniques for logistic system design and management have to guarantee these system overall sustainability not only from a technical and economic perspective but also from an environmental viewpoint. To this end, multi-objective optimization is of strong help. This is a mathematical programming technique to systematically and simultaneously optimize a collection of objective functions, often conflicting among them. Considering this scenario, aim of this Ph.D. thesis is to develop, propose and validate innovative multi-objective models and methods for design and management of sustainable logistic systems simultaneously optimizing the system technical performance, economic profitability and environmental impact. The developed models fully manage the material flow from suppliers to assembly or manufacturing areas and from these to final customers through the distribution, storage and retrieving activities among and within the logistic actors. An original decision support system is proposed to jointly minimize the operating cost, carbon footprint and delivery time in the design of multi-modal multi-level distribution networks considering the most relevant features of the delivered products. Concerning warehousing systems, both design and operation problems are tackled. A multi-objective optimization model is developed to determine the warehouse building configuration, namely length, width and height, which simultaneously minimizes travel time, total cost and carbon footprint objective functions. These two latter are estimated through a lifecycle approach. All the activities related to warehouse building installation and operating phases are evaluated both from an economic and an environmental perspective. Warehousing system operation is analyzed by means of storage assignment strategy. A time and energy based strategy is proposed to jointly minimize the travel time and the energy required by the material handling vehicles to store and retrieve the unit loads. Proper vehicle motion configuration and unit load features are considered to accurately model the objective functions. Finally, the presented models and methods are tested and validated against case studies from the food and beverage industry. The results demonstrate that a tremendous environmental impact reduction is possible at negligible technical and economic performance worsening.
La logistica viene tipicamente definita come l’insieme di quelle attività di progettazione e gestione di sistemi fisici ed informativi necessari per consentire alle diverse tipologie di merci di superare lo spazio ed il tempo. I modelli ed i metodi tradizionali per la progettazione e gestione dei sistemi logistici si focalizzano sull’ottimizzazione delle prestazioni tecnico-economiche. Tuttavia, le attività logistiche si contraddistinguono per un elevato impatto ambientale. Solo per citare un esempio, il consumo di energia per il trasporto merci ha raggiunto negli ultimi anni il 13% dell’energia complessivamente utilizzata su scala mondiale, pari cioè a 40 EJ annui. Gli approcci innovativi per la progettazione e gestione di sistemi logistici devono necessariamente garantire la loro sostenibilità non solo da un punto di vista tecnico ed economico, ma anche da quello ambientale. A tal fine, l’ottimizzazione multi-obiettivo è di notevole aiuto. Questo metodo di programmazione matematica permette di ottimizzare sistematicamente e simultaneamente un insieme di funzioni obiettivo spesso contrastanti tra loro. Alla luce di questo scenario, lo scopo di questa tesi di dottorato è quello di sviluppare, proporre e validare modelli e metodi multi-obiettivo innovativi per la progettazione e la gestione di sistemi logistici sostenibili ottimizzando contemporaneamente le loro prestazioni tecniche, economiche ed ambientali. I modelli sviluppati permettono di gestire nella sua interezza il flusso di materiali dai fornitori ai reparti di fabbricazione o assemblaggio e da questi ai clienti finali attraverso le necessarie attività di distribuzione, stoccaggio e prelievo all’interno e tra gli attori della catena logistica. E’ stato sviluppato un sistema per il supporto decisionale atto a minimizzare contemporaneamente il costo operativo, la carbon footprint ed il tempo di trasporto di reti distributive multi-livello e multi-modali prendendo in considerazione le più importanti caratteristiche dei prodotti trasportati. Per quanto riguarda i sistemi di immagazzinamento e stoccaggio, questa tesi affronta sia le tematiche di progettazione sia quelle operative. Un modello di ottimizzazione multi-obiettivo è proposto per definire la configurazione degli edifici atti allo stoccaggio merci, ovvero la loro lunghezza, larghezza ed altezza, al fine di minimizzare il tempo di prelievo, il costo totale e la carbon footprint. Queste ultime due funzioni obiettivo sono state valutate considerando l’intero ciclo di vita del magazzino. Tutte le attività relative alle fasi di installazione ed esercizio dell’edificio vengono contabilizzate sia da un punto di vista economico che ambientale. Per quanto concerne la gestione operativa di un sistema di immagazzinamento, questa tesi affrontata il problema dell’assegnazione dei prodotti ai vani di stoccaggio. Si è definito un modello di ottimizzazione multi-obiettivo per minimizzare contestualmente il tempo e l’energia necessari alle attività di prelievo e stoccaggio. Per modellare opportunamente le funzioni obiettivo temporali ed energetiche sono stati valutati accuratamente sia i profili di moto dei veicoli per lo stoccaggio merce sia le caratteristiche dei prodotti da immagazzinare. Per concludere, i modelli ed i metodi presentati sono stati validati e testati con casi studio provenienti dall’industria alimentare. I risultati ottenuti dimostrano come sia possibile ridurre drasticamente l’impatto ambientale di questi sistemi logistici a scapito di un trascurabile peggioramento delle prestazioni tecnico ed economiche.

Abstract:

The main objective of this study was to identify ways in which transaction costs can be lowered to improve small-scale farmers&rsquo
participation in and returns from agricultural output markets, with specific reference to small-scale mango farmers in Limpopo province. This study hypothesizes that transaction costs are lower in informal spot markets and increase when small-scale farmers sell in more structured markets (formal markets). This study builds on transaction cost economics (TCE) to demonstrate how to overcome transaction cost barriers that small-scale mango farmers face in the agro-food markets. The approach to collect primary information was sequenced in two steps: first, key informant and focus group interviews were conducted and, secondly, a structured survey instrument was administered in two districts of Limpopo. A total of 235 smallscale mango farmers were interviewed. A binary logistic regression model was used to estimate the impact of transaction costs on the likelihood of households&rsquo
participation in formal (=1) and informal (=0) agro-food markets. STATA Version 10 was used to analyse the data. This study found that a larger proportion of male than female farming households reported participation in the formal markets, suggesting deep-seated gender differentiation in market participation. The average age of small farmers participating in formal markets is 52, compared to 44 for those in informal markets, implying that older farmers might have established stronger networks and acquired experience over a longer period. Farmers staying very far from the densely populated towns (more than 50 km) participate less in the formal markets than those staying closer (0 &ndash
25 km and 26 &ndash
49 km), which implies that the further they are from the towns, the less the likelihood of farmers selling in the formal markets. Farmers who own storage facilities and a bakkie (transportation means) participate more in formal markets compared to those who do not own these assets, which suggests that these farmers are able to store mangoes, retaining their freshness and subsequently delivering them to various agro-food markets on time. Households that participate in formal markets have high mean values of income and social grants. However, this study found that the likelihood of a household&rsquo
s participation in the markets is less as income and social grants increase. This suggests that households do not invest their financial assets in order to overcome market access barriers. A large proportion of households that own larger pieces of arable land participate in the formal markets, which implies that they are able to produce marketable surplus. Households that have a high mean value (in Rand) of cattle participate more in formal markets than in informal markets. However, this study found that the likelihood of a household&rsquo
s participation in the markets does not change with an increase in the value of its livestock. These findings suggest that households do not sell their cattle in order to overcome market access barriers. Reduced transaction costs for small-scale mango farmers in Limpopo should improve their participation in and returns from the agro-food markets. Policy interventions to support this need to focus on: access to storage and transportation facilities, enforcement of gender equity requirements in existing policies, and better access to information about markets.

The quality of life, according to WHO is characterized by its multifactorial nature and includes six main domains: physical health, psychological state, independence level, social relations, environmental characteristics and spiritual standard. Food and nutrition security is the realization of the right to regular and permanent access to quality food in sufficient quantity, without compromising access to other essential needs. To evaluate the quality of life and food security of a population can generate useful information for optimization and development of public policies and to generate comparison of indicators between cities and regions of the country. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of social factors on the situation of food security and quality of life in João Pessoa city, PB. This is a cross-sectional population-based study, conducted from April to June 2015. The stratified sample consisted of 438 households, where aged over 18 years women were interviewed. A form with characteristics of the socio-demographic profile, WHOQOL-bref and Brazilian scale food and nutrition security were used for data collection. This study revealed an overall mean score of quality of life of 63.3, with a decrease in western and east areas of the city and especially in field environment. Quality of life was significantly associated with household crowding (p = 0.011) and social and leisure activities: watching movie at home (p = 0.045), cinema (p <0.001), museum and theater (p = 0.019), reading (p = 0.024), concert and shows (p <0.001), sport (p <0.001), walks (p <0.001), meeting with friends (p = 0.008), bar (p <0.001), television (p = 0.024 ), radio (p = 0.036) and internet (p <0.001). About food insecurity found a prevalence of 21.7% with statistically significant associations for the variables type of household (p <0.001), agglomeration (p <0.001), water supply (p = 0.027), reading (p = 0.054), sport (p <0.001), walk (p = 0.008), meeting with friends (p = 0.004), bar (p = 0.009), television (p = 0.003), radio (p = 0.003) and internet (p = 0.001). Quality of life were significantly associated with food security situation (p <0.001). The logistic model showed that women in food insecurity has three times less chance to provide a better quality of life. This study showed important information about impact of social determinants of quality of life and food security situation. It is expected that these results can guide managers for development of public policies aimed at ensuring food security, impacting positively on the quality of life.
A qualidade de vida, segundo a OMS caracteriza-se pela sua natureza multifatorial e inclui seis domínios principais: saúde física, estado psicológico, níveis de independência, relacionamento social, características ambientais e padrão espiritual.A segurança alimentar e nutricional é a realização do direito de todos ao acesso regular e permanente de alimentos de qualidade, em quantidade suficiente, sem comprometer o acesso a outras necessidades essenciais. Avaliar a qualidade de vida e a segurança alimentar de uma população pode gerar informações úteis para otimização e elaboração de políticas públicas e para gerar indicadores de comparação entre os municípios e regiões do país. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a influência dos determinantes sociais sobre a situação de segurança alimentar e qualidade de vida no município de João Pessoa-PB. Trata-se de um estudo transversal de base populacional, realizado no período de abril a junho de 2015. A amostra estratificada consistiu de 438 domicílios, onde foram entrevistadas mulheres com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos. Para coleta dos dados foram utilizados um formulário com características do perfil sociodemográfico, o WHOQOL-brefe a escala brasileira de segurança alimentar e nutricional. O estudo revelou um escore médio geral de qualidade de vida de 63,3, com diminuição nas zonas oeste e leste da cidade e principalmente no domínio meio ambiente. A qualidade de vida esteve associada significativamente a aglomeração domiciliar (p=0,011) e a atividades sociais e de lazer:assistir filme em casa (p=0,045), cinema (p<0,001), museu e teatro (p=0,019), leitura (p=0,024), concerto e shows (p<0,001), esporte (p<0,001), caminhadas (p<0,001), reunião com amigos (p=0,008), bar (p<0,001), televisão (p=0,024), rádio (p=0,036) e internet (p<0,001). Com relação à insegurança alimentar foi encontrada uma prevalência de 21,7% com associações estatisticamente significativas para as variáveis tipo de domicílio (p<0,001), aglomeração (p<0,001), abastecimento de água (p=0,027), leitura (p=0,054), esporte (p<0,001), caminhada (p=0,008), reunião com amigos (p=0,004), bar (p=0,009), televisão (p=0,003), rádio (p=0,003) e internet (p= 0,001). A qualidade de vida apresentou associação estatisticamente significativa com a situação de segurança alimentar (p<0,001). O modelo logístico demonstrou que mulheres em situação de insegurança alimentar tem três vezes menos chance de apresentar uma melhor qualidade de vida. O estudo revelou importantes informações acerca do impacto dos determinantes sociais sobre a qualidade de vida e situação de segurança alimentar. Espera-se que esses resultados possam nortear os gestores para elaboração de políticas públicas visando a garantia da segurança alimentar,impactando positivamente sobre a qualidade de vida.

Abstract:
This article touches on the issue of Food Defense and Food Security in Polish maritime transport. It seems indispensable to refer to the food defense as any action that the company must take to prevent the intentional contamination of food products by biological, chemical, physical or radiological factors which cannot be expected based on hazard analysis and which may arise in connection with human activities as a source of contamination (FDA). Temperature-controlled food transport is one of the most critical elements in today's supply chain, which is reflected in an increase in the demand for fresh and frozen products. In the case of sea transport, this will require temperature control in refrigerated containers. The effect of research on the impact of the stream of descending air and its free passage on the duration of storage of natural food products, which are presented in the article, are guidelines contained in military procedures.

Abstract:
Turkey is an important logistics transport center between Asia, The Middle East and Europe. If this position is evaluated correctly, it will be a big contribution to the economy of the country by increasing the market share. In order to provide and sustain logistic quality in an increasingly competitive environment, it should be ensured that logistic services are performed more effectively and efficiently via analyzing faults/problems in detail and eliminating root causes of these. In logistics sector, especially in the case of cold chain logistics involving the transport of perishable products such as food, medicine, chemicals, etc., the rejects/ fines constitute on a large-scale rate. Companies, in the case of deliveries that are outside the expectations of the companies or contrary to their contracts, they either return the goods or take delivery by punishing. In this study, the causes of these logistics/delivery factors, effecting negatively the country’s economy were researched, and suggested important solutions by analyzed with the Theory of Constraints - Thinking Processes approach. These proposals for the characteristic solutions for cold chain logistics, if applied in the institutions and companies concerned with the logistic sector in the whole country, it is expected that will obtain the savings of the costs coming from penalty/reject applications in the country’s economy, and beyond this it is expected that will get the additional earnings from the increased market share by increasing the customer satisfaction.

There has been a vast development in the field of the internet, it has led people to express their opinions. It is very important to understand the customer for the successful businesses. Customers express their thoughts in the form of reviews, which can be positive or negative. For successful businesses, it is essential for them to understand a customer and their behavior because it will help them to grow their business more successfully. In this paper, we have proposed sentiment analysis of restaurant review datasets using multinomial naive bayes and logistic regression. This program will help owners quickly determine the customer's sentiments.

Abstract:
Background: Unsafe food hygiene poses threats for becoming disease transmission. The most common of foodborne pathogenic bacteria is Escherichia coli. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between food hygiene and the contamination of escherichia coli bacteria on school snack. Subejcts and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Cakung, East Jakarta from December 2016 to January 2017. A sample of 60 food handlers from a total of 147 foods handlers’ population was selected by cluster sampling. The dependent variable was E. coli bateria. The independent variables were proper hand washing, food serving aids, proper equipment washing, types of selling facilities, sanitation facilities, the placement of cooked food, and food preparation. The data were collected by laboratory test result and questionnaire. The data were analyzed by multiple logistic regressions. Results: As many as 45% of the positive snacks were contaminated with E. coli bacteria. E. coli bacterial contamination on food was related to the practice of using food serving aids (OR= 5.00; 95% CI= 1.19 to 20.92; p= 0.044), a place to store cooked food (OR= 6.11; 95% CI = 1.73 to 21.59; p = 0.007) and method of presentation (OR = 7.14; 95% CI = 1.43 to 35.57; p = 0.002). Conclusion: The incidence of Escherichia coli contamination on food is related to the practice of using food serving aids, the placement of cooked food and food serving.

Abstract:
Background: No studies assess the effect of dietary pattern on glycemic control among Qatari adults with T2DM. Objective: To assess the association between dietary patterns, and glycemic control among Qatari adults with T2DM. Method: Data from 1000 adults with known diabetes attending the Qatar Biobank Study were analyzed. Poor glycemic control was defined as HbA1c ≥7.0%. Dietary pattern was constructed using factor analysis based on habitual food intake data assessed by a food frequency questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between dietary patterns and poor glycemic control. The following covariates were considered: education, age, gender, smoking, BMI and medication. All analyses were conducted using STATA15. Results: The odds ratio for poor glycemic control was 0.86 (95%CI 0.68-1.08) in men, 0.76(95%CI 0.61-0.95) in women. For men without diabetes medication, fast food pattern was positively but traditional pattern was inversely associated with poor glycemic control 2.35(95%CI 1.13-4.87) (p=0.021) and 0.49 (95%CI 0.22-1.07) (p=0.075) respectively. And among younger participants, the use of insulin was higher than older participants as it was 77 (SD 30.8%). Conclusion: Fast food pattern was inversely associated with glycemic control, which is most likely linked to medication use. In men who were not under diabetes medication, fast food pattern was associated with poor glycemic control.

"Last-mile distribution in urban areas is challenged by congestion and restriction for motorized traffic. To support operations, this work investigate the impact of operating urban consolidation points and facilitating cargo-bikes for urban last-mile distribution. Motivated by sample setting originating from the food delivery industry, a decision support system combining agentbased simulation with heuristic optimization procedure is developed. It considers a logistics provider who performs the last-mile delivery for multiple competing restaurants in an urban area. Therefore, both demand and the availability of cargo-bikes, which are operated by freelancers, are subject to randomness. Computational experiments investigate the impact of the available amount of cargo-bike drivers as well as the number of operated consolidation points, highlighting the importance of facilitating simulation models to support operations in highly dynamic and uncertain settings."

Abstract:
COVID-19 brought the public’s attention to the critical value of transportation and supply chain workers as lifelines to access food and other supplies. This report examines essential job skills required of the middle-skill workforce (workers with more than a high school degree, but less than a four-year college degree). Many of these middle-skill transportation and supply chain jobs are what the Federal Reserve Bank defines as “opportunity occupations” -- jobs that pay above median wages and can be accessible to those without a four-year college degree. This report lays out the complex landscape of selected technological disruptions of the supply chain to understand the new workforce needs of these middle-skill workers, followed by competencies identified by industry. With workplace social distancing policies, logistics organizations now rely heavily on data management and analysis for their operations. All rungs of employees, including warehouse workers and truck drivers, require digital skills to use mobile devices, sensors, and dashboards, among other applications. Workforce training requires a focus on data, problem solving, connectivity, and collaboration. Industry partners identified key workforce competencies required in digital literacy, data management, front/back office jobs, and in operations and maintenance. Education and training providers identified strategies to effectively develop workforce development programs. This report concludes with an exploration of the role of Institutes of Higher Education in delivering effective workforce education and training programs that reimagine how to frame programs to be customizable, easily accessible, and relevant.

Full text
Abstract:
This report describes the effects of climate change for Finland from the view of comprehensive security. The report examines both direct and indirect climate security risks as well as transition risks related to climate change mitigation. The report is based on previous research and expert interviews. Direct security risks refer to the immediate risks caused by the changing nature of natural hazards. These include the risks to critical infrastructure and energy systems, the logistics system, health and food security. Indirect security risks relate to the potential economic, political and geopolitical impacts of climate change. Climate change can affect global migration, increase conflict risk, and cause social tensions and inequality. Transition risks are related to economic and technological changes in energy transition, as well as political and geopolitical tensions and social problems caused by climate change mitigation policies. Reducing the use of fossil fuels can result in domestic and foreign policy tensions and economic pressure especially in locations dependent on fossil fuels. Political tension can also increase the risks associated with hybrid and information warfare. The security effects of climate change affect all sectors of society and the Finnish comprehensive security model should be utilized in preparing for them. In the short run, the most substantial arising climate change related security risks in Finland are likely to occur through indirect or transition risks. Finland, similar to other wealthy countries, has better technological, economic and institutional conditions to deal with the problems and risks posed by climate change than many other countries. However, this requires political will and focus on risk reduction and management.

Garcia, Lyan, James Rowland, and Jeb Tingle. Evaluation of geocell-reinforced backfill for airfield pavement repair. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), December 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/42550.

Full text
Abstract:
After an airfield has been attacked, temporary airfield pavement repairs should be accomplished quickly to restore flight operations. Often, the repairs are made with inadequate materials and insufficient manpower due to limited available resources. Legacy airfield damage repair (ADR) methods for repairing bomb damage consist of using bomb damage debris to fill the crater, followed by placement of crushed stone or rapid-setting flowable fill backfill with a foreign object debris (FOD) cover. While these backfill methods have provided successful results, they are heavily dependent on specific material and equipment resources that are not always readily available. Under emergency conditions, it is desirable to reduce the logistical burden while providing a suitable repair, especially in areas with weak subgrades. Geocells are cellular confinement systems of interconnected cells that can be used to reinforce geotechnical materials. The primary benefit of geocells is that lower quality backfill materials can be used instead of crushed stone to provide a temporary repair. This report summarizes a series of laboratory and field experiments performed to evaluate different geocell materials and geometries in combinations with a variety of soils to verify their effectiveness at supporting heavy aircraft loads. Results provide specific recommendations for using geocell technology for backfill reinforcement for emergency airfield repairs.

Abstract:
Serious disruptions and exceptional circumstances for society, that the society tries to prepare for and act in them are at the center of security of supply. Current examples are the COVID pandemic and the ongoing energy crisis for which Finland's security of supply has also been strongly highlighted. Disturbances can also be caused by weather phenomena: in Finland, such examples are windstorms, severe thunderstorms, floods, and droughts, which can, at least in principle, paralyze the society. It is possible to prepare for the impacts of weather phenomena, but the ongoing rapid climate change makes it more complicated. Some of the weather phenomena that cause impacts are fast and violent (e.g. intense thunderstorms) and some occur more slowly (e.g. long heat waves), and climate change affects the phenomena in different ways. In this work, the estimated impacts of climate change on Finland's security of supply were investigated. The starting point was to gain an understanding of which weather phenomena and weather situations are central to security of supply and which sectors of security of supply are the most vulnerable. The work constituted of workshops and expert interviews organized with the National Emergency Supply Agency. In addition to the interviews, the work covered past significant weather situations in Finland that are known to have had significant societal impacts. Information was also extracted from recent literature, especially regarding the vulnerabilities and adaptability of different sectors in Finland. Estimates of the climate change impacts on the identified phenomena were combined with the collected information, resulting in a first understanding of how climate change affects Finland's security of supply. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the impacts of climate change on security of supply are quite complex, especially due to the wide spectrum of weather phenomena and their different impact mechanisms. In addition, the matter becomes more complicated by the fact that there is no clear distinction of what weather phenomenon actually is critical to security of supply and what is not. For example, could the increasing adverse impacts on health care due to the increasingly common heat conditions reach a serious societal disturbance situation at some point, if it is not sufficiently prepared in advance? Another key result is that in terms of security of supply, the direct effects of climate change are very small in Finland compared to many other countries. Although the climate in Finland has already changed considerably and will continue to change in the future, the biggest impacts to security of supply seem to be reflected from elsewhere: the experts of the National Emergency Supply Agency consider the worst situation to be a lack of food, water and habitable living environment in the world, which would also be reflected to Finland. Among the sectors, food/water and energy supply and logistics are perceived as the most vulnerable. The work mainly focused on the direct effects of climate change, i.e. the effects of climate change on the occurrence of various weather phenomena. However, the work also considers to some extent indirect effects, i.e. those reflected from other parts of the world, and transitional effects that result from climate change mitigation measures, especially from the rapid energy transition.

Abstract:
The prevalence of substandard medicines in Africa is high but not well documented. Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) are likely to face considerable challenges with substandard medications. Africa faces inadequate drug regulatory practices, and in general, compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in most of the pharmaceutical industries is lacking. The majority of pharmaceutical manufacturers in developing countries are often overwhelmed by the GMP requirements and therefore are unable to operate in line with internationally acceptable standards. Non-conformances observed during regulatory inspections provide the status of the compliance to GMP requirements. The study aimed to identify the GMP non-conformances during regulatory inspections and gaps in the production of pharmaceuticals locally manufactured in Uganda by review of the available 50 GMP reports of 21 local pharmaceutical companies in Uganda from 2016. The binary logistic generalized estimating equations (GEE) model was applied to estimate the association between odds of a company failing to comply with the GMP requirements and non-conformances under each GMP inspection parameter. Analysis using dummy estimation to linear regression included determination of the relationship that existed between the selected variables (GMP inspection parameters) and the production capacity of the local pharmaceutical industry. Oral liquids, external liquid preparations, powders, creams, and ointments were the main categories of products manufactured locally. The results indicated that 86% of the non-conformances were major, 11% were minor, and 3% critical. The majority of the non-conformances were related to production (30.1%), documentation (24.5%), and quality control (17.6%). Regression results indicated that for every non-conformance under premises, equipment, and utilities, there was a 7-fold likelihood of the manufacturer failing to comply with the GMP standards (aOR=6.81, P=0.001). The results showed that major non-conformances were significantly higher in industries of small scale (B=6.77, P=0.02) and medium scale (B=8.40, P=0.04), as compared to those of large scale. This study highlights the failures in quality assurance systems and stagnated GMP improvements in these industries that need to be addressed by the manufacturers with support from the regulator. The addition of risk assessment to critical production and quality control operations and establishment of appropriate corrective and preventive actions as part of quality management systems are required to ensure that quality pharmaceuticals are manufactured locally.
