根据2010年度欧盟食品和饲料快速预警系统（RASFF）向公众通报进口中国食品及饲料的安全问题的情况,本文针对其中的食品接触金属制品,总结通报国家的分布、产品涉及的风险因素,并分析问题产生的原因,探讨应对的措施,充分发挥风险预警作用,从而减少或避免类似情况发生。     

对阿马蒂亚·森的饥荒理论的理解及验证:来自中国的数据

本文对阿马蒂亚·森的食物获取权理论与传统的解释饥荒的食物供给量下降(FoodAvailabilityDecline,FAD)理论的关系进行分析,得出:在解释饥荒的发生时两者都具有解释能力,但在解释饥荒的分布上,FAD不具解释力度,本文实证检验了这一结论。在林毅夫和杨涛提出的城市偏向基础上,指出缺粮区的划分才是决定饥荒分布的真正原因,饥荒的分布是阶层性的,各自食物获取权的优先顺序才是遭受饥荒影响程度的直接因素。     

食品检测实验室质量监督方法探讨

食品检测实验室中最为重要的就是质量监督管理工作,做好质量监督有利于提高实验室工作人员的质检与管理能力,进而推动有关人员的学习进步,以胜任工作岗位,提高该食品检测实验室的质量检测水平,确保检测数据的有效性与无误性。但现阶段我国的实验室由于缺乏统一的行业标准,导致其质量监督工作水平参差不齐,出现了一系列不利于质量检测的因素,比如质量监督目的不明、质量监督内容不完整、质量监督措施不完善等不足,都会影响该实验室对于食品的检测。因此,本文主要就食品检测实验室的质量监督方法进行探究,从各个方面指出质量监督的技术要点。

Cash cropping and food crop productivity: synergies or trade‐offs?

The case for promoting export‐oriented cash crops in Africa has generally been based on their direct potential contribution to agricultural productivity and small farmer incomes. A relatively neglected avenue of research concerns the synergistic effects that cash cropping can have on other household activities, including food production. The conventional view that cash crops compete with food crops for land and labour neglects the potential for cash crop schemes to make available inputs on credit, management training, and other resources that can contribute to food crop productivity, which might otherwise not be accessible to farmers if they did not participate in cash crop programs. This article builds on previous research by hypothesising key pathways by which cash crops may affect food crop activities and empirically measuring these effects using the case of cotton in Gokwe North District in Zimbabwe. Analysis is based on instrumental variable analysis of survey data on 430 rural households in 1996. Results indicate that—after controlling for household assets, education and locational differences—households engaging intensively in cotton production obtain higher grain yields than non‐cotton and marginal cotton producers. We also find evidence of regional spill‐over effects whereby commercialisation schemes induce second round investments in a particular area that provide benefits to all farmers in that region, regardless of whether they engage in that commercialisation scheme. The study suggests that the potential spill‐over benefits for food crops through participation in cash crop programs are important to consider in the development of strategies designed to intensify African food crop production.     

食品安全监管长效机制建构研究

近年来食品安全问题时有发生,食品安全已经成为关系国计民生的一个极为突出的社会问题。因此,加强食品安全监管的研究,建立和完善我国食品安全监督管理体系,实施有效的食品安全应对措施,具有极其重要的意义。本文分析了我国食品安全监管存在的问题,并在借鉴国际经验的基础上,提出几点政策建议：健全食品安全检验检测体系;加强食品安全教育体系建设;充分发挥消费者组织、行业协会的监督作用等。     

中国农村医疗保障制度的构建与可持续发展

医疗保障制度作为社会保障制度的一部分,在保障公民最基本的健康权利中起着重要的作用,但是由于经济、政治、社会历史等原因,我国农村医疗卫生保障制度覆盖范围窄,保障水平低,农民看病难,因病致贫返贫的现象非常普遍。从社会正义与公平、内生经济增长理论和反贫困理论入手,对农村医疗保障制度建设的必要性进行分析,进而从当前社会政策和社会实践的角度分析了其可行性,提出建立一个与经济发展水平相适应的、多层次的农村医疗保障制度。     

The negative spillover effect of food crises on restaurant firms: Did Jack in the Box really recover from an E. coli scare?

Despite the enormous impact of food crises on restaurants, limited understanding of their long-term impacts and associated factors has undermined crisis managers’ ability to handle crisis situations effectively. This article investigated the long-term impact of food crises on the financial performance of restaurant firms and identified the factors that influenced this impact. This explanatory study examined the case of Jack in the Box, whose 1993 Escherichia coli scare was the first and largest restaurant-associated food crisis in modern times. An event study method was used to uncover stock price movements of Jack in the Box, in conjunction with 73 unrelated food crises that occurred from 1994 to 2010. Stock prices of Jack in the Box exhibited significantly negative responses to other firms’ food crises, moreover, the negative spillover effect was stronger if the crisis occurred closer in time, was similar in nature, and was accompanied with no recall execution. These findings shed light on the long-term financial impact of food crises and offer insights for crisis managers to develop more effective crisis management strategies.     

The relationships between food-related personality traits,satisfaction, and loyalty among visitors attending food events and festivals

This study applies the concept of food-related personality traits to hospitality and tourism and identifies relationships between personality, satisfaction, and loyalty. An on-site survey was carried out with 335 visitors attending the Gwangju Kimchi (local food) Festival in South Korea between 15th and 19th of October, 2008. The relationships between 4 latent constructs (food neophobia, food involvement satisfaction, and loyalty) and 16 indicators were measured using structural equation modelling. The findings showed that food neophobia had a negative effect on satisfaction and loyalty, food involvement had a positive relationship with loyalty, and satisfaction and loyalty showed a significant positive relationship.     

Impact of hotel-restaurant image and quality of physical-environment,service, and food on satisfaction and intention

This study developed a theoretical framework in which overall image, image congruence, and quality of physical environment, service, and food affect guests’ satisfaction and intentions to revisit a luxury hotel restaurant and visit other restaurants of the same hotel by considering the influence of conspicuousness as a moderator. The measurement model assessment revealed that all items included an acceptable level of measurement quality. Results of the structural analysis indicated that the research variables were in general significantly associated; quality dimensions and satisfaction had a mediating role; and the impact of satisfaction and overall image on decision formation was greater than that of other variables. Moreover, the structural invariance model assessment indicated that conspicuousness acted as a significant moderator. Overall, our proposed theoretical framework was found to include a sufficient power in predicting patrons’ intentions for luxury hotel restaurant products. Using this quantitative approach, our research objectives were wholly achieved.
