As feiras e mercados públicos oferecem diversos produtos e serviços em um único local, revelam hábitos e manifestações culturais, sendo de grande importância sócio-econômico-cultural para o município. Porém, os alimentos muitas vezes são comercializados em condições que propiciam a contaminação por microrganismos quando não são adotadas práticas adequadas de manipulação e exposição. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as condições higiênico-sanitárias dos alimentos perecíveis comercializados na feira livre e no mercado público do município de Arapiraca-AL. Foram realizadas duas visitas semanais em dezembro/2018, uma visita no Mercado Público, e a outra na feira livre, que ocorre no dia de segunda-feira, localizada nas ruas próximas ao Mercado Público. Os alimentos avaliados foram frutas e hortaliças, carnes e pescados, através de um roteiro de inspeção (check-list) baseado na Resolução da Diretoria Colegiada – RDC nº 216/2004 da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária – ANVISA, cujos itens selecionados foram condições de comercialização, condições de armazenamento, condições de higiene dos manipuladores e das instalações. Na maioria dos aspectos avaliados, principalmente na feira livre, os resultados foram insatisfatórios, devido ao não cumprimento das normas vigentes. Conclui-se que a feira livre não possui estrutura mínima para que possam ser aplicadas as normas higiênico-sanitárias na venda de carnes e pescados e o mercado público apesar de ter uma melhor infraestrutura, os feirantes desrespeitam essas normas.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of shared cognitive frames, in particular, that of institutional logics, on the deployment and use of performance measurement systems (PMSs) in the public sector.Design/methodology/approachUsing novel priming techniques derived from behavioral and social psychology, three institutional logics – the public, market-managerial and professional logics – are differentially surfaced in three independent experimental groups. The influence of these primed institutional logics on performance measurement use preferences are then empirically assessed using appropriate analysis of variance techniques.FindingsContrary to theoretical predictions, the paper reveals logic congruence regarding some uses of PMSs in the public sector, and divergence regarding others. Individuals applying a public logic were more likely to propose performance measurement use for strategic planning or strategic alignment; while those applying a professional logic were more likely to propose performance measurement use for learning, compared to otherwise primed individuals.Research limitations/implicationsConsidering the sample size and the novelty of the priming tools, it is feasible that other potentially significant effects may have been missed.Originality/valueThe paper addresses a gap in literature regarding the influence of shared cognitive frames on performance measurement use in public sector organizations. The paper further presents priming techniques embedded within an experimental design as an appropriate method for the micro-level study of attitudes, preferences and judgments in the public sector.

This chapter addresses the problem of time by examining the temporal geography of household provisioning. It scrutinizes the seasonal, weekly, and daily schedules of food shopping, outlining how complementary rhythms provided steady supplies to customers, while also sustaining permanent and stable trade at the public markets. The provisioning journey was structured not only by the distance one traveled to the public market but also by the conjunctures of time. Just as public markets distributed all varieties of foodstuffs to New Yorkers at a dozen privileged locations, their year-round business agglomerated food supplies of widely different seasonal cycles. Not surprisingly, seasonality first and foremost determined the frequency of residents' marketing visits.

AbstractThere currently appears to be considerable confusion amongst regulators and stakeholders over the purpose of the EU’s directives on public procurement and lack of a clear vision of what the directives seek to achieve. Against this background this article has two objectives. First, it seeks to provide a framework for understanding the directives’ functions and their relationship with national policy. In this respect it identifies the ends and means that the directives do, or could, adopt and/or which have been ascribed to them, and considers the implications of each for national regulatory space. Secondly, for each of the ends and means it suggests a specific legal interpretation of its actual and potential role in the EU’s legal framework.It is argued that the directives seek to promote the internal market and that they seek to do so solely by three means—prohibiting discrimination, implementing transparency, and removing barriers to access. It rejects, on the other hand, certain broader conceptions of the directives, including that they promote a single market by standardising procedures; that they replicate in the public market the competitive process of the private market; and that they seek value for taxpayers’ money. It is argued that rejection of these broader functions has important implications for the scope of national regulatory space, both as regards the ‘commercial’ aspects of public procurement—notably ensuring value for money and an efficient procurement process—and as regards ‘horizontal’ policies in the sense of policies that promote social and environmental objectives through public procurement.

This paper examines approach and possibility of comparison of venture capital rate of returns with specific public benchmarks. Rate of return that are used by the public market analytics do not fit within venture capital cash flow characteristics. One of the methods that are presented in this article is Public Market Equivalent which enable simple comparison of venture capital rate of returns with effects of the public index or bond market for Bond Market Equivalent method.
