“…However, it was not possible to obtain all samples from each sampling site at each sampling time, as this was dependent on their availability during a particular sampling visit. The hypermarkets were selected for the study according to internationally accepted criteria: very‐large‐surface self‐service stores selling a wide range of both food and non‐food goods in a floor space of over 2500 m 2 . Five species of seafood products were analyzed in this study: fish ( n = 491), shellfish ( n = 149), cephalopods ( n =167), shrimp ( n = 110) and crab ( n = 75).…”

The low prevalence and burden found indicated that seafood from hypermarkets may not be an important risk source for V. parahaemolyticus infection in Shanghai, and more attention should be paid to other areas for selling seafood, such as farmlands or farmers' markets. The simple and effective lognormal distribution is recommended as a better choice for describing V. parahaemolyticus contamination in future risk assessment studies. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…These literature studies showed that shrimps samples were obtained from farmer's ponds, local markets, retailers, supermarkets, and hypermarkets. Hypermarket refers to a very large‐surface self‐service store selling a wide range of food and nonfood materials in a floor space of over 2,500 m 2 (Geppert, Williams, Wortmann, Czarzasty, & Uçkan, ). A total of 417 of the 1,961 samples were found positive for V. parahaemolyticus , but only 28 were found to have pathogenic strains ( trh and/or tdh ).…”

Exposure Assessment and Sensitivity Analysis for Chilled Shrimp During Distribution: A Case Study of Home Delivery Services in Taiwan

In this study, we evaluated the temperature requirements for home delivery in Taiwan by considering food safety risks of chilled shrimp that may be contaminated with Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus was chosen because it was the main cause of foodborne outbreaks originating from contaminated seafood in Taiwan. The risk of becoming ill due to consumption of raw shrimp was estimated to be 7.3 × 10−3 per serving, estimated based on the real‐time temperature profile. Lowering the maximum temperature to 7 °C during transit and cooking shrimps at 100 °C for 5 min could reduce the risk by more than 94%. These interventions, therefore, were suggested to be used as an integral part of temperature management control in the home delivery cold chain. These findings can help food authorities to institute temperature management policies and regulations to prevent broken cold chains and reduce food safety risks. Practical Application This research may be applicable to home delivery services that deliver low‐temperature food products, such as seafood products.

“…Second, sectoral characteristics are often argued to influence the types and levels of workers' organisations on trade union responses towards precarious work (Carré et al 2010;Geppert et al 2014;Jany-Catrice and Lehndorff 2002). Following Wright (2000) and Silver (2003), we distinguish between structural power that results from workers' location and role within the economic system, particular sector or workplace; and associational power, reflecting the formation of workers' collective organisation and its internal features.…”

Union Campaigns against Precarious Work in the Retail Sector of Estonia, Poland, and Slovenia

This chapter studies trade union responses to the precarization of work in the retail sector in three post-socialist East European countries: Estonia, Poland, and Slovenia. The aim of the chapter is to analyse the influence of sectoral specifics, different institutional factors, and trade unions’ power resources on union approaches towards precarious work, and to explore the potential for new patterns of solidarity. The main thrust of the argument is that unions’ power is crucial for developing and sustaining the industrial relations institutions, which in turn shape constraints and opportunities for trade unions’ actions. However, the strategic choices exerted by trade union leaders also matter. While higher institutional and associational power still enables Slovene unions to regulate the conditions of precarious workers to a certain extent, the institutional weakness of Estonian and Polish unions make them increasingly reliant on their network embeddedness and narrative resources to mobilize against precarization.
