AbstractThe ability to trace a cellular product from donor to patient and vice versa is essential for the patient’s safety. Uniform product description as well as standardization of product labelling is necessary to ensure adequate tracking and tracing of cellular products.Also, with the increasing use of automated systems, accurate and unambiguous electronic transfer of product information is critical.Standardization comprises several elements which together will form an ‘information environment’. Together with electronic standards such as ISBT128 and Eurocode, this will further enhance safety, accuracy and efficiency in tracking and tracing cellular products.

Modern Technologies

Modern technologies enable traders to design more personal and comprehensive product labelling, as well as to improve product traceability through the supply chain. Personalised and comprehensive product information could raise consumers’ product awareness, shaping new consumers’ product and safety expectations. The improved product traceability through the supply chain could extend the producers’ control over the product, beyond the moment the product left the manufacturing process. This paper examines the impact of modern technologies on European rules of product liability. Specifically, it considers whether the recognition of a defective product in the currently reviewed Product Liability Directive should continue to follow the test of the public’s safety expectations, as well as whether producers could continue to rely on the defence of a product not being defective when they put it into circulation.

Product Description

Cross-border electronic-commerce (CBEC) is growing. However, due to differences in culture, habits, history and language among other factors, consumers in different regions may have different perception towards the same product information on CBEC platforms, which may lead to differences in their cognition of the product with implications for purchase intentions. Presently, little research has attempted to understand whether there are such differences between global consumers through the examination of measurement invariance (MI) in CBEC environments. By using multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA), this study explored the invariance of two product information cognitions on CBEC platforms, namely product description and product awareness, among consumers in North America, Europe, Latin America and Oceania. Data was collected from users of a popular CBEC platform in China. We find no significant differences in understandings and levels of awareness of product information across the four groups of consumers.

Product Description

Abstract Computer-internal product description is limited to models consisting only of the geometry of a technical product and its components. The CAD modellers set up the geometry from elementary elements, which have no direct relation to their meaning for the real product and its production. Logical connections between geometry and important non-geometrical informations are missing. Many informations about the product are not stored and get lost when being modeled with present systems. Therefore CAD systems must provide more comprehensive functionalities than only possibility to describe the geometry of component parts and structural components. One approach of a uniform representation of different product information is the introduction of features as information carriers, which allow a grouping of data belonging together not only by geometric relation. Features must be implemented in CAx systems for a most complete possible support of the design activities. Feature modelling does not replace known techniques, but improves and completes them.

PurposeOver the past several decades, studies regarding consumer satisfaction for organic food (OF) have increased along with the rise in OF consumption. However, empirical research into satisfaction for organic products with respect to conventional goods is still needed. Along this line, the purpose of this paper is to understand the role of information in children’s satisfaction for organic and conventional fruit nectar.Design/methodology/approachA satisfaction questionnaire on 92 primary school pupils was collected during the tasting stages. A questionnaire surveying the participants’ habits with respect to OF and fruit nectar consumption was also administered. Descriptive analysis and ordinal logistic regressions were used to investigate any correlation between the participants’ evaluations of fruit nectar samples and the other variables investigated.FindingsAccording to the results of this paper, children’s satisfaction scores are influenced by the information they learn regarding fruit nectar: satisfaction scores are higher when children know the fruit nectar is organic. Satisfaction is also influenced by age: older children are more likely to assign lower scores to fruit nectars. Also, the effect of information regarding the nature of fruit nectar (organic or conventional) on satisfaction scores is stronger in children whose families consume OF.Research limitations/implicationsDue to financial constraints, this research was conducted on a non-probability convenience sample and on a single food product (i.e. fruit nectar).Practical implicationsRegulatory policies should consider these influences when legislating on product labelling and the disclosure of product information. Consumer evaluations can be indeed influenced toward responsible, safe behaviour.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the investigation of the connection between product labelling and children’s food satisfaction. Particularly, this study has generated some important findings in the field of children’s perceptions of OF.

In online commerce systems that trade in many products, it is important to classify the products accurately according to the product description. As may be expected, the recent advances in deep learning technologies have been applied to automatic product classification. The efficiency of a deep learning model depends on the training data and the appropriateness of the learning model for the data domain. This is also applicable to deep learning models for automatic product classification. In this study, we propose deep learning models that are conscious of input data comprising text-based product information. Our approaches exploit two well-known deep learning models and integrate them with the processes of input data selection, transformation, and filtering. We demonstrate the practicality of these models through experiments using actual product information data. The experimental results show that the models that systematically consider the input data may differ in accuracy by approximately 30% from those that do not. This study indicates that input data should be sufficiently considered in the development of deep learning models for product classification.

Bottled Mineral Water

Bottled drinking water products are exclusive goods because those who consume are usually important guests from abroad. In the early 1970s, bottled drinking water had not yet existed in Indonesia. In the 1970s if there were imported products, tourists at that time only wanted to consume bottled water because they didn't match the boiled drinking water. PT. Toyamilindo Cirebon is a company engaged in the bottled drinking water industry which has a packaging brand with the Mountoya brand. Mountoya bottled mineral water packaging that is produced now, no longer uses plastic labels as a product identifier. Mountoya does not use a plastic label replaced with embossed writing on the bottle. This plain bottle is a concern that attracts consumers. This research wants to know the packaging design that is in the Mountoya bottle. In addition, the visual appeal and practical appeal in Mountoya bottle packaging is also a special attraction. The results of this study are the design of Mountoya bottle packaging in the product description is quite complete, the product description in the use of the type of plastic used is suitable for food and can be recycled. In addition there are halal information, Indonesian national standards and other full product information.

Abstract Aims Adolescents in the UK are among the heaviest drinkers in Europe. The World Health Organization recommends alcohol product labelling to inform consumers about product information and health risks associated with alcohol use. This study investigates support for product information and health messaging on alcohol packaging among UK adolescents. Methods The 2019 UK Youth Alcohol Policy Survey was an online cross-sectional survey among 3388 adolescents aged 11–19. Participants indicated their support for seven forms of messaging on packaging (e.g. number of alcohol units, links to health conditions). Logistic regression models investigated associations between support for each of the seven forms and alcohol use, perceived risks of alcohol use, and previous exposure to messaging. Results Between 60 and 79% of adolescents were supportive of different aspects of product labelling. Compared to lower-risk drinkers, higher-risk drinkers (AUDIT-C 5+) had higher odds of supporting including the number of alcohol units (OR: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.31–2.54), calories (OR: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.04–1.68), and strength of the product (OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.19–2.52) but lower odds of supporting including information on alcohol-related health conditions (OR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.53–0.87). Adolescents who perceived risks of alcohol use more strongly were more likely to support all forms of product information and messaging. Conclusions The majority of adolescents supported improved alcohol labelling. Higher-risk drinkers were supportive of improved product information but less supportive of health-related messaging. Adolescents who believe alcohol carries health risks were more likely to support messaging.
