The Impact

In this competitive environment, organizations strive to satisfy their customer by providing best quality service at affordable and fair prices with a view to enhance their revenues. To achieve the objective of revenue maximization, organizations strive to identify the factors that help them in retaining their customers. Drawing from the signalling theory of marketing, the current study proposes a novel conceptual model representing the impact of service quality with food quality and price fairness on customer retention in restaurant sector of Pakistan. The paper underlines an important arena of knowledge for academicians as well as organizational scientists on the subject. On the basis of literature available on the variables understudy, the present study forwards eight research propositions worthy of urgent scholarly attention. The conceptualized model of the present article can also be viewed significant in unleashing further avenues for the restaurant management entities, policy makers and future researchers in the domain of managing in the service sector businesses.

Purpose The increased demand for high-quality, nutritionally rich processed food has led to non-thermal food processing technologies like high pressure processing (HPP), a novel process for microbial inactivation with minimal loss of nutritional and sensory properties. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the impact of HPP on the microbiological, nutritional and sensory properties of food. Design/methodology/approach Recent research on the role of HPP in maintaining food quality and safety and the impact of process conditions with respect to various food properties have been explored in this paper. Also, the hurdle approach and the effectiveness of HPP on food quality have been documented. Findings HPP has been verified for industrial application, fulfilling the consumer demand for processed food with minimum nutrition loss at low temperatures. The positive impact of HPP with other treatments is known as the hurdle approach that enhances its impact against microorganism activity and minimizes the effects on nutrition and sensory attributes. Originality/value This paper highlights the impact of HPP on various food properties and a good alternative as non-thermal technology for maintaining shelf life, sensory properties and retention of nutrients.

Distortion Rate

No Brasil, ao longo das últimas décadas, algumas políticas públicas procuraram sanar os problemas da carência alimentar. Contudo, a insegurança alimentar tem fatores multidimensionais e impacta de maneiras variadas na vida da população, especialmente de crianças e adolescentes. O impacto da quantidade e qualidade insuficiente dos alimentos pode ser um fator de redução do rendimento escolar. O Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) é uma política pública que visa a distribuição de alimentos de qualidade nas escolas, bem como em outros órgãos, e que objetiva gerar renda no campo ao mesmo tempo em que oferece qualidade nutricional. Partindo do problema da carência alimentar para crianças e adolescentes e como isso afeta a produtividade escolar, o objetivo desta pesquisa é avaliar o impacto do PAA no rendimento escolar de crianças e adolescentes que estudam em escolas que são beneficiárias do programa. A metodologia utilizada foi o teste de Mann-Whitney e as variáveis utilizadas foram o IDEB, a taxa de aprovação, a taxa de abandono escolar e a taxa de distorção idade/série para o ensino fundamental séries iniciais e finais. O recorte geográfico é o estado do Paraná, e temporal, os anos de 2013 e 2015. O principal resultado do estudo mostrou que a variável taxa de distorção idade/série dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, para o grupo formado pelos municípios afetados pelo PAA, obteve melhora estatisticamente significativa em relação a municípios que não participaram do programa. Palavras-chave: Educação. Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional. Teste de Mann-Whitney. AbstractIn Brazil, over the last decades, some public policies have tried to remedy the problems of food shortage. However, food insecurity has multidimensional factors and impacts in various ways on the lives of the population, especially children and teenagers. The impact of insufficient food quantity and quality may be a factor in reducing school performance. The Food Acquisition Program (FAP) is a public policy aimed at the distribution of quality food in schools as well as other agencies, and which aims to generate income in the countryside while providing nutritional quality. Starting from the problem of food shortage for children and teenagers, and how it affects school productivity, the objective of this research is to evaluate the impact of FAP on the school performance of children and adolescents who study in schools that benefit from the program. The methodology used was the Mann-Whitney test and the variables used were the IDEB, the pass rate, the dropout rate and the age / grade distortion rate for elementary and early grades. The geographical cut is the state of Paraná, and temporal, the years 2013 and 2015. The main result of the study showed that the variable age / grade distortion rate of the early years of elementary school, for the group formed by the municipalities affected by the FAP, obtained statistically significant improvement compared to counties that did not participate in the program. Keywords: Education. Food Safety and Nutrition. Test of Mann-Whitney.
