Повний текст джерелаIn 2020, it is estimated that 149.2 million children under 5 years of age were affected by short stature, 45.4 million suffered from wasting and 38.9 million were overweight. Despite although it's not yet possible to fully account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the estimated increase in 2020 is that it has been equal to the previous five years combined. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how the COVID-19 pandemic globally affected children’s food insecurity, after more than a year after the virus outbreak. This study is a literature review on the theme, using the PubMed and Science Direct databases that included 33 scientific articles. All associations between food insecurity in children and food consumption, home environment, socioeconomic conditions and mental aspects, were explored. The association between food insecurity and the COVID-19 pandemic in children is particularly strong. Most articles revealed an increase in children's food insecurity. The prevalence has increased since the beginning of the pandemic, especially in the most vulnerable communities and families with lower socio-economic status (p < 0.0001). Families with more than one child had a significantly higher risk of having FI (p=0.01) and a higher educational level proved to be protective factors against FI (p=0.001). Lessons from this COVID-19 pandemic must be learned to be well prepared for future crises by improving existing weaknesses; thus, the impact of a new public health crisis would be smaller.
Em 2020, estima-se que 149,2 milhões de crianças menores de 5 anos sofreram de baixa estatura, 45,4 milhões sofreram de fome e 38,9 milhões apresentaram excesso de peso. Embora ainda não seja possível contabilizar totalmente o impacto da pandemia COVID-19, o aumento estimado em 2020 é que seja igual ao dos cinco anos anteriores combinados. Portanto, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar como a pandemia COVID-19 afetou globalmente a insegurança alimentar infantil, após mais de um ano após o surto do vírus. Este estudo é uma revisão da literatura sobre o tema, utilizando as bases de dados PubMed e Science Direct que incluíram 33 artigos científicos. Todas as associações entre a insegurança alimentar em crianças e o consumo alimentar, ambiente doméstico, condições socioeconômicas e aspetos mentais foram exploradas. A associação entre a insegurança alimentar e a pandemia de COVID-19 em crianças é particularmente forte. A maioria dos artigos revelou um aumento na insegurança alimentar das crianças. A prevalência aumentou desde o início da pandemia, especialmente nas comunidades mais vulneráveis e famílias com status socioeconômico mais baixo (p <0,0001). Famílias com mais de um filho apresentaram risco significativamente maior de apresentar IA (p = 0,01) e uma maior escolaridade mostrou ser um fator de proteção contra IA (p = 0,001). As lições desta pandemia de Covid-19 devem ser aprendidas, de maneira a estar bem preparado para futuras crises, pois ao melhorar as fraquezas existentes, o impacto de uma nova crise de saúde pública será muito menor.

Повний текст джерелаCoronapandemin och dess följder har lett till ett behov av social distansering och känslor av rädsla har påverkat konsumenter världen över och deras shoppingpraktiker när det kommer till dagligvaror. Tidigare forskning har visat att det i normala tillstånd är svårt att förändra shoppingpraktiker och konsumenters rutiner men att större förändringar i omvärlden kan bidra till nya eller förändrade praktiker. Förändrade matshoppingpraktiker är en följd av Coronapandemin och det finns ett gap i tidigare studier när det kommer till kriser i form av pandemier då de är högst ovanliga. Syftet med denna studie är att förstå hur konsumenter har förändrat sin matshopping till följd av pandemin utifrån ett praktiksteoretiskt perspektiv. Vi vill ge en inblick i var, när och hur konsumenten handlar dagligvaror, men också försöka förstå vad det är som är driver konsumenten till en viss form av matshopping i kriser i form av en pandemi. För att studera detta har vi använt oss av ett praktikteoretiskt perspektiv och konceptualiserat matshopping som en social praktik. Analysen baserades på en kvalitativ metod i form av en kombination av fokusgrupper och enskilda intervjuer. I studien deltog 23 deltagare uppdelade i fyra fokusintervjuer, fem enskilda intervjuer och en intervju med två ICA-leverantörer/konsulter. Genom att applicera ett praktikteoretiskt perspektiv på matshoppingpraktiker kunde studien ge en insikt i hur konsumenter har förändrat sin matshopping till följd av pandemin och vad som driver konsumenten till det. Studien visar att matshoppingpraktiker har förändrats under pandemins gång och att samhällskriser i denna omfattning kan förändra starkt implementerade och rutiniserade mönster. Vi fann att hamstring var en följd av pandemin och kan motiveras med bland annat rädsla och “the herd effect”. Samtidigt är det ett begrepp med negativa kopplingar och som tycks vara skambelagt. Vi fann även en ökning av e-handel. Detta motiverades med att konsumentens viktigaste motiv till att handla just online var att minska kontakt med andra människor på grund av risken för att smitta, eller själva bli smittade. Ytterligare en förändring i matshoppingpraktiker som vi uppmärksammade var att handla med skydd. Slutligen fann vi en ny form av shopping kallad för kollektiv shopping, vilket är en praktik som sker tillfälligt och kan därmed innebära en övergång tillbaka till det normala tillståndet. Studiens resultat ämnar bidra med kunskap för marknadsförare och andra utövare för att förbereda samhället inför störningar till följd av andra pandemier i framtiden.

Повний текст джерелаEnterococcus faecium is commonly found in high numbers in ready to eat foods, being a member of the bacterial communities of a variety of fermented foods, including cheese and sausages, and is widely used as human and animal probiotic. However, this bacterial species is a leading cause of nosocomial infection, mainly endocarditis and urinary tract infections. Recent studies have demonstrated that E. faecium species consists of two very distinct clades: the hospital associated (HA) clade “A”, which includes most of the strains responsible for human infections, and the community associated (CA) clade “B”, that contains primarily human commensal isolates. Deeper analysis revealed a further split within clade A into sub-clade A1 (which groups the vast majority of clinical isolates), and sub-clade A2, associated with animals and sporadic human infections. In 2012, the European Food Safety Authority has issued a guideline for the safety assessment of E. faecium used as animal probiotics, concluding the strains belonging to the hospital-associated clade should not be used in animal nutrition. However, the differentiation of the two clades has been performed using data mainly deriving from human and animal isolates, and only a limited number of strains from the food chain were considered. Aim of this doctoral thesis was to assess the safety of E. faecium in fermented food, considering strains isolated from artisanal cheese and meat products, and using both whole genome-based techniques and physiological studies. None of the food isolates studied in this work belong to the epidemic clade A1, however a strain isolated from a ready to eat salami revealed several A1-specific traits, such as specific IS, transposases and antibiotic resistance genes. These results, as well as other data, underline the emergency of deeper understanding the role of E. faecium isolated from fermented foods as risk factor for human health.

Повний текст джерелаObjectives: To examine changes in planning, selecting, and preparing healthy foods in relation to personal factors (time, money, stress) and social distancing policies during the COVID-19 crisis. Methods: Using cross-sectional online surveys collected in 38 countries worldwide in April-June 2020 (N = 37,207, Mage 36.7 SD 14.8, 77% women), we compared changes in food literacy behaviors to changes in personal factors and social distancing policies, using hierarchical multiple regression analyses controlling for sociodemographic variables. Results: Increases in planning (4.7 SD 1.3, 4.9 SD 1.3), selecting (3.6 SD 1.7, 3.7 SD 1.7), and preparing (4.6 SD 1.2, 4.7 SD 1.3) healthy foods were found for women and men, and positively related to perceived time availability and stay-at-home policies. Psychological distress was a barrier for women, and an enabler for men. Financial stress was a barrier and enabler depending on various sociodemographic variables (all p < 0.01). Conclusion: Stay-at-home policies and feelings of having more time during COVID-19 seem to have improved food literacy. Stress and other social distancing policies relate to food literacy in more complex ways, highlighting the necessity of a health equity lens.

Повний текст джерелаBackground In March 2020, it was determined that the world had been hit by a pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, which was named Covid-19. Many countries had lockdowns and in Sweden, the population was urged to avoid social contacts, work from home, and avoid unnecessary visits to stores and shopping centers. Consequently, a big change was seen in people's shopping behavior leading to a transition from buying food in a physical grocery store to buying food online. Objective To explore families' experiences and perceptions of the transition to online grocery shopping during the Covid-19 pandemic in Sweden. Method The study used a qualitative study design with semi-structured interviews. Ten participants were recruited with convenience and snowball sample techniques. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim and analyzed with qualitative content analysis. Results The respondents experienced that the transition to online grocery shopping had led to a change in their shopping behavior with increased food planning and fewer but larger food purchases as a result. The respondents also experienced that they bought more fruit and vegetables and less food with empty calories. The perceived challenges with online shopping were that it provided less inspiration, variety, and spontaneity compared to physical grocery stores. Time saving, lower food costs, and reduced food waste were some of the positive experiences highlighted by the respondents. Conclusion The respondents experienced that the transition to online grocery shopping had led to a change in their shopping behavior in regard to frequency, volume, and what they decided to buy and not. The study provides new information about how a transition to online grocery shopping can affect people's shopping behavior and food purchases. The results contribute to an immersed understanding of the underlying mechanisms for consumers' online grocery purchases under extraordinary circumstances.

Повний текст джерелаDenna studie studerar hur vårdpersonal upplever sin egen säkerhet på arbetsplatsen med fokus på demensomsorg. Uppsatsen kommer även att undersöka vilka faktorer som har påverkat deras känslor gentemot deras trygghet. Metoden som används i denna studie är av kvalitativ ansats där djupgående intervjuer genomförts med sju deltagare. Syftet med denna datainsamlingsmetod är att uppnå en djupare förståelse för hur studiens deltagare känner och agerar utifrån deras trygghetskänslor. De insamlade materialet har delats in i olika kategorier som sedan har analyserats individuellt utifrån de utvalda teorierna. Teorierna som har applicerats för denna studie var Goffmans dramaturgiska teori som innefattar framträdande där han förklarar hur människor interagerar med varandra och hur de upprätthåller en specifik roll för att imponera på publiken. Vidare har Hochschilds teori om emotionellt arbete, djup- och ytverkan använts för att analysera studien. Resultaten av denna studie visar att för att upprätthålla känslan av trygghet är det viktigt för deltagarna att känna att deras arbete har ett meningsfullt syfte. Det är också viktigt för dem att ha ett starkt stödsystem från sina kollegor och att ha en rätt kompetens och lämplig utbildning gällande deras arbete. Trots att deltagarna utsattes för olika typer av våld kände de sig fortfarande säkra i en större utsträckning.

För att besvara syftet upprättades två forskningsfrågor: Hur kan faktorer som påverkar unga vuxnas attityder till digitala betalningsmedel beskrivas? Hur kan unga vuxnas attityder till digitala betalningsmedel beskrivas? Metod Både en kvalitativ metod och kvalitativ metod har använts, en så kallad triangulering. Vad gäller den kvantitativa delen så har enkäter använts för att samla in data som sedan har analyserats med hjälp av regressionsanalyser. För den kvalitativa delen användes djupintervjuer för att beskriva unga vuxnas attityder och acceptans till digitala betalningsmedel. Resultat Studiens resultat visade att det fanns olika faktorer som hade en påverkan på unga vuxnas attityder och acceptans till att använda digitala betalningsmedel. De faktorer som hade ett samband med ålder var upplevd användarvänlighet, upplevd enkelhet att använda, risk- samt säkerhetsaspekter. Unga vuxnas attityder till digitala betalningsmedel var mycket positiva och respondenterna hade en stor acceptans till nya digitala betalningsmedel. Vad studien även har kommit fram till är att andra människors inflytande hade en liten inverkan på individens attityd till att använda digitala betalningsmedel. Faktorer som hade en stor påverkan på unga vuxnas attityder och användande var säkerhet, snabbhet och användarvänlighet.

Повний текст джерелаThis project is about the production and distribution of an innovative product that is not currently in the Peruvian market, this is a hamburger made 100% of vegetable origin, with the difference that it has all the characteristics of real meat, simulating the flavor, texture and visual appearance. This project has the support of viability based on the results of the research carried out through interviews and surveys, which results in a new trend where people inquire about eating healthier, due to problems caused by eating habits that they maintain (eat “junk food” and ultra-processed food), the need found is a product that is healthy, quick to prepare and, above all, that maintains a delicious flavor. This is complemented by the current situation (Covid-19 pandemic), where health is the main theme and the search for it impacts new habits not only in health, but also in food, since the main risk is to lose life. For this reason, La Granja Vegana offers a healthy product that meets the needs of the market, aimed at people who want to start or already have a healthy lifestyle. To start this project the investment will be S /. 482,881.33, of which 50% will be financed. The profitability indicators are highly attractive and are superior to investing in a bank. Therefore, it is interesting to learn more about this investment opportunity.

Повний текст джерелаIntroduction: Since the beginning of the new coronavirus pandemic, measures have been taken worldwide to reduce its spreading. Among them, obligatory quarantine, which has generated changes in people’s lifestyles, especially that of preschool aged children, who have been forced to substitute their academic activities for online modalities and their recreational activities for more sedentary ones. In addition, Peru has been experiencing an increase in the consumption of ultra-processed products and in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children. Objective: Explore how the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic influences the choice of ultra-processed products that mothers make for feeding their preschool children. Methods: Qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. Twenty-six semi-structured interviews were conducted using a question guide. The sample was selected by snowball until reaching saturation. Results: The interviewed mothers were between 21 and 47 years old, the majority lived in the districts of Miraflores and Surco, had completed higher education and they had work at the time of the interviews. They expressed that the experience of living the evolution of the pandemic has generated changes in the dynamics of their families such as: alterations in schedules, introduction of remote work, adaptation of their children to virtual education and greater sedentary lifestyle. Most were shown to have adequate knowledge of ultra-processed products. However, a greater choice of these was evidenced for preschoolers, being these consumed mostly in the afternoons. Conclusion: The changes generated by the evolution of the pandemic increased the choice of ultra-processed products by the mothers of preschool children.

Повний текст джерелаIn this document an innovative project will be presented as a possible solution to the currently crisis that was experienced by the Covid 20 virus. The project is called “CleanBox”, which is a sterilizing box whose dimensions are perfect for placing both small and medium-sized products. Likewise, with Cleanbox, products can be sterilized, whether from an electronic device to perishable products. In addition, the way to use the device is very simple and anyone in the family can use it. This project aims to try to protect the health of customers, by reducing the spread of the virus with the sterilization of products that you usually use or buy on the street and may be contaminated. In this case, we are targeting men and women between the ages from 30 to 55 of A and B socioeconomic levels, since they are more sensitive in terms of protecting their health and that of their family, looking for alternatives that offer them efficient and quick results. . Due to the international economic crisis that we are currently experiencing, the project, momentarily, will focus only on metropolitan Lima and Callao. Also, following the openings allowed by the government, the shipment of the product will be expanded, that is, it will be possible to make shipments to different provinces of Peru and think about outsourcing the product.

Повний текст джерелаCOVID-19 pandemics raised several questions related to SARS-CoV-2 behaviour, mainly related to its prevention and transmission, with growing concern about the possibility of contagion through food. In addition, there was an increase in the circulation of information related to the virus by the media and the population which has not necessarily been validated and that could have determined habits and behaviours. In this context, the aim of this work was to identify the main doubts and concerns of the Portuguese population regarding food safety during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to verify how these were clarify and how the information related to the transmission and prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection influenced the habits and behaviours of the studied population. For this, a survey was developed consisting of questions to collect sociodemographic data from the population studied and questions to identify doubts, means of clarification, habits, behaviours and myths and truths about COVID-19. The survey was available online during the months of June and October 2020 and the results were analysed using the IBM® SPSS® version 27.0 software with generation of frequency tables and appropriate variable association tests. Based on the analysis of the results, aspects related to food handling and the possibility of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 through food were identified as the main doubts of the survey participants. Mostly, the doubts were clarified through television and consultation of materials released by official sources. In addition, an increase in the frequency of hand washing and disinfection before and after arranging purchases and disinfection of the environment where food is handled was reported, as well as greater concern with product packages and durability compared to the period prior to the pandemic. Regarding myths and concerns disseminated about COVID-19 during the first wave of pandemic, it was observed that most of the participants agreed with the truths and disagreed with the myths, which seems to indicate that the participant population was able to identify incorrect information and adopt the most adequate behaviour considering current knowledge.

Повний текст джерелаAs the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic spread globally, the restaurant industry was significantly shaken due to the restrictions imposed that prevented consumers from maintaining the previous socializing habits. This research examines how the pandemic changed the habits and/or behaviors of millennial consumers in the restaurant industry and online food ordering. It aimed to understand consumers' main fears, desires, and preferences in this area. To achieve this goal, a literature review was be carried out, which addressed key themes such as fear of covid-19, perception of restaurant safety, intention to visit a restaurant, convenience and intention to continue ordering food online. Afterwards, a survey was conducted and analyzed through an online questionnaire, wich collected a total of 195 validated respondents, aged between 21 and 41 years. The results revealed that most of the respondents are afraid of contracting Covid-19 and avoid meeting other people out of caution. The perceived safety and brand of a restaurant has an influence on increasing consumers' intention to visit a restaurant, and this intention after the outbreak of the pandemic was negatively affected. In addition, Covid-19 influenced the frequency and monthly expenses of the respondents' restaurant visits. It was also found that the demand for online food delivery services increased, as did the percentage of frequency with which respondents order food at home. However, it was concluded that the intention to order does not annul the intention to go to the restaurant. Costumers still prefer dining out than ordering food at home.

Повний текст джерелаBackground: Since a quarantine was implemented to prevent the spread of COVID-19, online food delivery companies such as UberEats, MeiTuan, and others have garnered more attention. Given the paucity of studies on the willingness and barriers to using online food delivery in general, the current study evaluated the period prior to and during the pandemic using a quantitative manner. Purpose: To begin, this research identifies the aspects of food delivery services people appreciate most, in addition to convenience and cost savings. Second, sanitary concerns, fear of COVID-19, and social isolation concerns were identified as the primary obstacles to service use. Design & Approach: The methodology of this paper is through a designed questionnaire to investigate the motivation of using online-delivery food platforms, followed by the statistical analysis methods to determine the real effects. Afterward, the dissertation implemented descriptions Statistics, sample test, One-way Anova, and frequency distribution to identify the hypothesizes whether they will be supported regarding the requesting, the last step is to conduct the resulting insight from the data. Findings: Most people who have been researched agree that food orders increase due to fear and social isolation during the COVID-19 period, indicating that the hypothesis is valid. The projected beneficial effect of hygienic issues does not materialize, and there is no statistically significant change in hygiene issues associated with online food delivery before and after the pandemic. The data show the attitude of persons with various incomes to pay more for delivery fees is not statistically significant. The results confirmed that users are younger people who are either employed or self-employed. With the emergence of COVID-19, young people's ordering patterns indicate a greater likelihood of using the suggested service. Limitation: A typical concern is that a convenience sample may not be representative of the population. Future research could look into the impact of new online food delivery developments in different countries and post-COVID-19. The food delivery industry is rapidly expanding. Research is required to develop goods that travel well and keep food quality.

Повний текст джерелаAo longo dos anos, e-commerce tornou-se uma ferramenta poderosa para melhorar certos negócios e indústrias em diferentes países de todo o mundo e para estreitar a sua relação com clientes. O desenvolvimento da tecnologia e a possibilidade de descarregar aplicações de qualquer tipo de serviço para o smartphone, têm potencializado essa relação. As aplicações de entrega de alimentos (FDA) estão a ganhar popularidade entre os utilizadores de smartphones e o número dos restaurantes aderentes tende a aumentar. Com o aparecimento do vírus COVID-19, a indústria alimentar e o sector da restauração tiveram de mudar drasticamente os seus negócios devido às restrições de bloqueio impostas pelo governo para reduzir a transmissão do vírus. O objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender quais os fatores que têm influência no desempenho individual dos serviços de entrega de alimentos (FDA) durante a pandemia COVID-19. Para a falta de literatura sobre este desempenho individual, este estudo propõe um modelo que integra a teoria TTF com a teoria U&G. Foi utilizado o método dos mínimos quadrados parciais (PLS) para analisar as 372 respostas dos estudantes universitários dos países da UE que já encomendam alimentos da FDA, recolhidas através de um inquérito em linha. Os resultados estatísticos e a discussão mostram que o desempenho individual é mais influenciado pela utilização desta aplicação do que a variável TTF. Por outro lado, a utilização é afetada pela pressão social, experiência de entrega, experiência do cliente, preço e facilidade de utilização. Isto significa que os hábitos e costumes dos utilizadores desempenham um papel importante quando se utiliza esta aplicação do que a funcionalidade da mesma. Os resultados deste estudo oferecem várias implicações e recomendações para futuras investigações sobre os FDA.
Over the years, e-commerce has become a powerful tool to improve certain businesses and industries in many countries around the world and to make their relationships with customers closer. The development of technology and the ability to download applications of any type of service has enhanced this relationship. Food delivery apps (FDA) are gaining popularity among smartphone users and the number of restaurants adherents has trended upward. With the appearance of the virus COVID-19, the food industry and restaurant sector had to dramatically modify their business due to the lockdown restrictions imposed by the government to reduce transmission of the virus. The aim of this research is to understand the factors influencing individual performance in FDA during the Covid-19 pandemic. To address the lack of literature about this individual performance this study proposes a model that joins the task-technology fit (TTF) theory with uses and gratification (U&G) theory. The 372 responses from EU countries’ university students who already order food from FDA was analysed using the partial least squares (PLS) method. The results show that individual performance is more influenced by the use of this application than the TTF variable, and that the use is affected by social pressure, delivery experience, customer experience, price, and ease of use. The findings of this study offer implications and recommendations for future research on FDA.

Повний текст джерелаThe Covid-19 pandemic led to several lifestyle changes including on eating behavior. Therefore, we sought to evaluate if depicting pandemic-related sanitary cues in a food video would impact food appraisal, decreasing food attractiveness and the desire to eat. In two different days, participants performed an online protocol in which a food video and food pictures should be evaluated regarding visual aspect, expected smell and taste and desire to eat. The videos presented each day differed regarding the presence/absence of sanitary elements adopted during the pandemics, composing the Covid/Non-Covid conditions. Sweet and high calorie foods received significantly higher evaluations compared to salty and low-calorie foods, being the sweet food evaluation higher in the Non-Covid condition. The Non-Covid video increased the desire to eat, and in both days, it was higher at the end of the task when compared to baseline. Further, our data suggests that depression and anxiety may reduce smell appreciation of foods presented in the pandemic scenario. In sum, food perception seems affected by the presence of the pandemic-related sanitary cues, reducing the desire to eat and food hedonic appreciation with such effects being further potentiated by depression and anxiety symptoms that arise from the pandemics.
A pandemia Covid-19 provocou mudanças de estilo de vida, inclusive no comportamento alimentar. Portanto, avaliamos se a apresentação de pistas sanitárias relacionadas à pandemia, apresentadas em um vídeo de alimentos, impactam na apreciação de alimentos, diminuindo a atratividade e o desejo de comer. Em dois dias, participantes completaram um protocolo online no qual um vídeo e imagens contendo alimentos deveriam ser avaliados quanto ao aspecto visual, cheiro e sabor esperados e desejo de comer. Os vídeos diferiam apenas quanto à presença/ausência de elementos sanitários compondo as condições Covid/Não-Covid. Comidas doces e altamente calóricas receberam avaliações significativamente superior comparadas a comidas salgadas e de baixa caloria, sendo a apreciação das comidas doces maior na condição Não-Covid. O vídeo Não-Covid aumentou o desejo de comer, e em ambos os dias esta avaliação foi maior ao final em comparação ao início da tarefa. Os dados sugerem ainda que sintomatologia depressiva e ansiosa reduziram a apreciação de expectativa do odor dos alimentos no cenário pandêmico. Em suma, a percepção de alimentos parece ser afetada pela presença de pistas sanitárias relacionadas à pandemia, reduzindo o desejo de comer e a apreciação hedónica da comida, sendo esses efeitos potencializados por sintomatologia depressiva e ansiosa.

Повний текст джерелаObjetivos: A insegurança alimentar foi um dos danos diretos da pandemia de Covid-19. A presente investigação nas Instituições que realizam Ajuda Alimentar no município da Figueira da Foz, tem como objetivo principal responder à questão: quais as consequências no padrão alimentar, no estado nutricional e na relação com a alimentação do recurso a ajuda alimentar? Metodologia: Com recurso à “metodologia mista”, foi desenvolvido um trabalho de investigação em 2 instituições do município. De forma a caraterizar as instituições e a ajuda alimentar fornecida, foi realizado um inquérito e as questões foram divididas em 2 categorias: caracterização sociodemográfica e caracterização dos apoios facultados pela instituição. A observação participante foi utilizada como instrumento de recolha de dados qualitativos relativos a uma das instituições, a um total de 11 beneficiários de ajuda alimentar e 3 voluntários. Todas as variáveis analisadas relativas aos beneficiários de ajuda alimentar foram recolhidas a partir de 8 entrevistas semiestruturadas. Foi realizado um inquérito com questões compiladas em três categorias de análise: avaliação sociodemográfica, avaliação do estado de saúde (história clínica e avaliação antropométrica) e avaliação do padrão alimentar através da utilização de Questionário recordatório das 24 horas precedentes e Questionário de Frequência do Consumo Alimentar. De forma a aferir as narrativas de vida para compreender as dimensões da insegurança alimentar, recorreu-se a entrevista semiestruturada, focalizada num assunto sobre o qual foi criado um roteiro com perguntas principais, complementadas por outras questões inerentes às circunstâncias momentâneas à entrevista. Resultados: Verificou-se uma elevada prevalência (62,50%) de excesso de peso entre os entrevistados, um baixo consumo de hortícolas, frutas, pescado e leguminosas e um elevado consumo de alimentos açucarados e alimentos fritos. Na análise das entrevistas, foi possível identificar estratégias de “coping” entre os indivíduos em insegurança alimentar (redução das porções e do número de refeições) e os determinantes de consumo alimentar (preço) e de preferência alimentar (“alimentos típicos”, “alimentos de conforto”) mais comuns, que moldam o padrão alimentar e consequentemente o estado nutricional.Conclusão: A insegurança alimentar e recurso a ajuda alimentar afetam a disponibilidade de alimentos, alterando o padrão alimentar e influenciando o estado nutricional dos indivíduos e, consequentemente, o estado de saúde. O entendimento de como o mundo social influencia o mundo biológico e de como este se torna parte desse mesmo mundo social, é crucial para compreender as desigualdades no acesso a alimentos e em saúde.
Objectives: Food insecurity was one of the direct damages of the Covid-19 pandemic. The main objective of this investigation of the Institutions that provide Food Aid in Figueira da Foz is to answer the question: what are the consequences on eating pattern, nutritional status and food relationship for food aid beneficiaries?Methodology: A “mixed method research” was the methodology used for this investigation study, conducted in 2 institutions that provide food aid. In order to characterize the institutions and the service they provide, a survey was carried out and the questions were divided into 2 categories: sociodemographic characterization and characterization of the support received and offered by the institution. Participant observation was used as an instrument for collecting qualitative data related to one of the institutions (11 food aid beneficiaries and 3 volunteers). All analyzed variables related to food aid beneficiaries were gathered from 8 semi-structured interviews. A survey was conducted with questions compiled into three categories: sociodemographic evaluation, health status evaluation (clinical history and anthropometric assessment) and evaluation of the dietary pattern (24 hours recall method and Food Frequency Questionnaire). A semi-structured interview was used to collect life narratives to understand the dimensions of food insecurity. The script was created with main questions, complemented by other information inherent to the interview context/situation.Results: There was a high prevalence (62,50%) of overweight among respondents, a low consumption of vegetables, fruits, fish and pulses, as well as a high consumption of sugar and fried foods. In the intersubjective and thematic analysis of the interviews, it was possible to identify "coping" strategies between individuals with food insecurity (reduction of portions and meals number) and the determinants of food consumption (price) and food preference ("typical foods", “comfort foods”), which shape the dietary pattern and consequently the nutritional status.Conclusion: Food insecurity and recourse to food aid affect food availability and accessibility, change dietary patterns, influence the nutritional status of individuals and, consequently, their health status. Understanding how the social world affects the biological world is crucial to recognize inequalities in access to food and health.

Повний текст джерелаO presente documento encontra-se dividido em duas partes. A primeira parte é constituída por dois relatórios referentes a dois estágios curriculares, elaborados na forma de uma análise SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). O primeiro estágio curricular realizou-se em Farmácia Comunitária, na Farmácia do Parque, enquanto o segundo se realizou em Farmácia Hospitalar, no Hospital Senhora da Oliveira. A segunda parte do documento apresenta a monografia, intitulada “Suplementos Alimentares no contexto da COVID-19”. A COVID-19 surgiu em dezembro de 2019 num mercado em Wuhan, China e a 11 de março de 2020 foi declarada uma pandemia pela OMS, termo este que se utiliza quando uma doença se espalha por vários continentes, com transmissão sustentada de pessoa para pessoa. Até ao dia 6 de julho de 2021 vitimou mais de 4 milhões de pessoas, sendo um dos maiores desafios para a saúde publica dos últimos anos. A doença, na sua forma grave, caracteriza-se por um quadro de infeção respiratória aguda, com perda de função pulmonar, perturbações da coagulação e eventual morte. Níveis desadequados de nutrientes têm sido associados a um aumento da suscetibilidade a infeções assim como a um maior risco de prognósticos negativos derivados destas. Com o surgimento e rápida evolução da pandemia causada pela COVID-19, investigadores de todo o mundo têm trabalhado exaustivamente com o objetivo de controlar a sua propagação e limitar os estragos causados à saúde publica e à economia. Assim, estudos recentes têm apontado para uma abordagem com vitaminas e minerais para a prevenção e tratamento da infeção. Esta monografia surge no sentido de avaliar o papel de micronutrientes, nomeadamente da vitamina C, vitamina D, zinco e selénio como imunomoduladores e a sua potencial relação com a COVID-19, quer isoladamente quer como terapêutica adjuvante.
The following document is divided into two parts. The first part includes two reports concerning two curricular internships, examined through a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis. The first curricular internship was carried out in Community Pharmacy, at “Farmácia do Parque” while the second in Hospital Pharmacy, at “Hospital Senhora da Oliveira”. The second part of the document presents the monograph, entitled "Food Supplements in the context of COVID-19". COVID-19 appeared in December 2019 in a market in Wuhan, China and on March 11, 2020, it was declared a pandemic by the WHO, a term that is used when a disease spreads across several continents, with sustained person-to-person transmission. Until July 6, 2021, it had killed more than 4 million people, making it one of the biggest challenges for public health in recent years. The disease, in its severe form, is characterized by an acute respiratory infection, with loss of lung function, coagulation disorders and eventual death. Inadequate nutrient levels have been associated with an increased susceptibility to infections as well as a higher risk of negative outcomes derived from them. With the emergence and rapid evolution of COVID-19 pandemic, researchers around the world have been working tirelessly to control its spread and limit the damage that it caused to public health and economy. Thus, recent studies have pointed towards a vitamin and mineral approach for the prevention and treatment of the infection. This monograph arises to assess the role of micronutrients, namely Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc and selenium as immunomodulators and their potential relationship with COVID-19, either alone or as adjuvant therapy.

Повний текст джерелаDesde o início da pandemia pela COVID-19 em Março de 2020, a consciencialização relativa a Equipamentos de Protecção Individual (EPIs) aumentou consideravelmente. O termo EPI tornou-se mais comum, assim como o conhecimento geral sobre o que é e por que é usado. O sector de segurança foi altamente influenciado pela escassez de produtos. As empresas tiveram que ajustar processos e métodos internos para atender às novas necessidades do mercado. Ao mesmo tempo, o mercado dos EPIs é continuamente afectado por produtos e processos cada vez mais inovadores. As empresas tornam-se mais competitivas com pesquisa e desenvolvimento de produtos, e isso adiciona valor ao produto final. O objectivo desta pesquisa é demonstrar como os colaboradores de empresas de EPIs foram afectados pela pandemia, relativamente à inovação. Além disso, objectiva-se analisar e confirmar se a COVID-19 afectou os processos de inovação nas empresas. Após a análise dos dados colectados através de um questionário a duas empresas multinacionais de EPIs, os resultados revelam que os trabalhadores estão preocupados com a COVID-19, fato que influenciou as iniciativas de inovação no trabalho durante o ano passado. As empresas mudaram a abordagem de inovação e permitiram que os trabalhadores se envolvessem mais nos processos. A incerteza gerada pela COVID-19 afectou os departamentos de inovação das empresas, mas de forma positiva, ao permitir que os colaboradores participassem e dessem o seu contributo. A inovação deve ser um processo contínuo, principalmente nas empresas de EPIs, que comercializam produtos que proporcionam saúde e segurança aos trabalhadores.

Повний текст джерелаNowadays, there has been a gradual growth in the supply of food retail stores, which implies an increase in competitiveness in this sector. In view of this increase in competitiveness, groups belonging to the food retail have to adopt strategies in order to achieve competitive advantage, while also needing to adapt to the demands of consumers. It is at this point that lean principles and techniques are fundamental and can be hugely successful when implemented in food retail, but there are a number of barriers that hinder the implementation of this methodology in this sector. In view of this problem, the present investigation aims to analyze the type of obstacles that emerge at the time of the adoption of lean in food retail stores, as well as to understand the changes that occurred in this sector under the effect of the covid-19 pandemic, focusing on the importance of this concept in this same sector in remote times. In order to achieve these two objectives, a qualitative and exploratory investigation was carried out, in the form of survey, to understand the real context in twelve different food retail stores, by conducting semi-structured interviews with the heads of each store, and also the aid of direct observations. In the end, it was noticed that the lean concept is not widely known by all respondents and, consequently, its adoption is not noticeable in all stores present in the study. It was possible to collect a set of problems that lead to this adoption not being so easy, where related issues are mentioned, such as the lack of organized communication within the structures, volatility in the demand for this type of service and also resistance to change on the part of responsible. Some wastes were also identified that with simple lean practices it would be possible to eliminate and, already in the final stage of the investigation, it was verified the importance that lean can have in this type of service, namely in remote times such as the covid-19 pandemic, in order to simplify the processes and benefit the performance in the final sale to the customer.

Повний текст джерелаPurpose: The COVID-19 outbreak has imposed extensive shocks embracing all stages of the food supply chain (FSC). Although the magnitude is still unfolding, the FSC responds with remarkable speed, to mitigate the disruptive consequences and sustain operations. This motivates us to investigate how operationalising supply chain agility (SCA) practices has occurred amid the COVID-19 crisis and expectations for how those practices could transform the supply chain in the post-COVID-19 era. Design: Following an exploratory case-based design, we examine the various agile responses that three supply chains (meat, fresh vegetables and bread) adopted and elaborate using the dynamic capability (DC) theoretical lens. Findings: First, the findings demonstrate how, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, each affected case pursued various agile responses through sensing and seizing capabilities. Sensing includes identifying and assessing the relevant opportunities and threats associated with the specific supply chain context. Seizing involves acquiring, combining and modifying the tangible and intangible resources at the firm and supply chain levels. Second, supply chain transformation is likely if firms and their supply chain develop the sustaining capability to ensure that the desirable changes outlast the crisis. Originality: This study provides a novel and unique perspective on the role of SCA in crisis—in this case, the pandemic. We synthesise the empirical stories of the agile responses in the FSC and elaborate on the DC framework, to identify theoretical and practical implications. We establish the sustaining capability as the missing DC capability for enabling transformation in the post-COVID-19 era. Practical contribution: This study provides an actionable guide for practitioners to develop agile responses to systemic changes in times of crisis and to sustain favourable changes so as to enable their outlasting the crisis.

Повний текст джерелаWith the extensive spread of smart mobile devices, mobile technologies and services have revolutionised and pervaded significantly in most aspects of human life, such as social communication, commerce, entertainment, etc. Various industries have integrated services and products with mobile financial transaction technologies, facilitating the payment services combined with various mobile applications. The wide adoption of mobile transactions has increased the efficiency of transaction processes, met the expectations of customers and the requirements of enterprises, and supported the social-economic development in different scenarios, especially under the pandemic situation. Understanding mobile device users’ perceptions and behaviours on mobile technologies combining payment functions under the COVID-19 pandemic situation has reinforced the need to embark on a deeper investigation of customer behaviours during the pandemic. For these reasons, this study contributes to the advancement of knowledge and implementation methods for a better understanding of the determinants of customers’ behavioural intentions of using mobile technologies combined with payment functions in a total of seven separate studies. The investigation begins with a systematic literature review on mobile payment studies presented in chapter two. This research is augmented by investigating users’ continuance usage intention of mobile payments under the COVID-19 pandemic in chapter three. The fourth chapter analyses the determinants of continuance usage intention of food delivery apps during the pandemic. Chapters five and six present two theoretical development studies about the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and UTAUT2, respectively. The seventh chapter investigates customers’ psychological shopping processes via live-streaming shopping apps during the pandemic lockdown period. In epistemological terms, this study involved conjoint positivist and interpretivist research in behavioural information systems research. A qualitative research method was applied in chapters two, five and six, and a quantitative research method was implemented in the third, fourth and seventh chapters. The main theoretical foundations applied and validated in three empirical studies were UTAUT and UTAUT2. Specifically, chapter three integrates UTAUT with Mental Accounting Theory, the fourth chapter combines UTAUT with the Expectancy Confirmation Model, and chapter seven integrates UTAUT2 with the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework and Flow theory. This study found that performance expectancy, social influence, and trust significantly affect users’ behavioural intentions in all three empirical studies. Customers’ mental cognitions, such as perceived benefits, satisfaction, flow and perceived value, positively formulate users’ behavioural intention in the three studies, respectively. Hedonic motivation and flow significantly influence users' behavioural intention when mobile technologies contain payment and entertainment features. Moreover, this study contributes several theoretical and practical implications. This study facilitates the advancement of knowledge of mobile technologies adoption through three verified theoretical frameworks and two proposed developed theoretical models and appropriate measurement methods. Meanwhile, this study supports relevant stakeholders in mobile technologies, enterprises, policymakers, service providers, and marketing departments with valuable findings and discussions for comprehensively understanding the determinants of customers’ behaviours on mobile technologies combined payment function.

Повний текст джерелаDevido à situação pandémica, identificaram-se os profissionais de saúde como um dos recursos fundamentais, senão o mais importante, destacando a sua segurança como um tópico vital. Atualmente, os profissionais de saúde estão expostos a um maior risco de infeção devido à elevada taxa de transmissão do vírus, tornando todas as medidas de segurança, bem como a sua análise, imprescindíveis. Esta investigação propõe uma análise à perceção dos profissionais de saúde em Portugal, durante a pandemia, sobre a formação recebida e à confiança que depositam na sua organização, bem como o impacto na sua perceção de segurança. Para tal, foi elaborado um questionário aos profissionais de saúde com instrumentos avaliadores da perceção da adequação da formação, da confiança organizacional e da sua segurança. O questionário aplicado online recolheu 235 respostas. Os dados analisados com base em estatística descritiva e inferencial, consistência interna e de mediação com utilização do macro PROCESS de Hayes. Os resultados indicam que os profissionais de saúde percecionam de forma positive a adequação da formação recebida, confiam na sua organização e sentem-se seguros. Os resultados suportam ainda a existência de um efeito direto da perceção relativamente à formação sobre o sentimento de segurança, e igualmente um efeito indireto, sendo este mediado pela confiança na organização. O conteúdo e cronograma da formação, bem como a confiança dos profissionais de saúde nos seus supervisores e organização são os pontos onde se registam as avaliações mais baixas, evidenciando os problemas, e consequentemente, as oportunidades de melhoria.

Повний текст джерелаThe COVID-19 pandemic demands additional measures from organisations. It is necessary to be aware of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) conditions especially at construction sites where it is difficult to apply the preventive measures. The presented study aims to recommend the preventive measures of transmission of the Coronavirus on a construction site. It took place in the Requalification of the Railway Access of the Port of Sines project. The Plan-Do-Check-Act method supported the research. The OSH Plan were analysed, and 33 recommendations have been established. The Job Safety Analysis method was applied to assess the risk factors of transmission of the Coronavirus on 46 job tasks. This allowed to identify 11 risk factors and 10 critical tasks for which 23 actions were recommended. The preventive measures plan was created. Analysing the legal requirements, some preventive measures from the Portuguese Public Health Authority guidelines are hard to apply to the construction environment, as well as update the documents in accordance with the guideline. Finally, the research shows that it is necessary to review how tasks are performed. The OSH Plan requires updating and training sessions must be available for employees in construction environment.

Повний текст джерелаEste estudo tem como objetivo compreender mais profundamente como as escolhas, atitudes, intenção de compra e vontade de pagar dos consumidores mudam, face à pandemia. Esta pesquisa examina este fenómeno dentro da indústria alimentar, por ser uma das mais impactadas durante a pandemia, com um foco singular consumo de alimentos orgânicos versus convencionais, utilizando e autoestima como moderadora. Os resultados indicam que no contexto do COVID-19 houve um aumento da saliência da mortalidade, a consciência de que a morte é inevitável. Todavia a saliência da mortalidade não impactou as avaliações dos consumidores e a escolha dos alimentos, com exceção da intenção de compra de produtos convencionais que parece diminuir no contexto do COVID-19 para consumidores com menos autoestima proveniente de comportamentos sustentáveis. No entanto, o contexto do COVID-19 parece conduzir a atitudes mais positivas em relação aos alimentos orgânicos para pessoas que têm comportamentos de sustentabilidade como fonte de autoestima. Este estudo sugere que os revendedores podem influenciar os consumidores positivamente no contexto COVID-19, disponibilizando facilmente esses produtos para atrair consumidores para a compra de alimentos orgânicos e aproveitar as atitudes positivas que parecem emergir em relação a este tipo de productos durante a pandemia. Este estudo fornece informações valiosas sobre o comportamento do consumidor em relação aos alimentos orgânicos e convencionais, examina os fatores que influenciam a intenção de compra, a vontade te pagar, as atitudes e as escolhas de alimentos durante a pandemia.
