The açaí (Euterpe oleracea) is very perishable, due to its microbial,chemical and enzymatic nature. Furthermore, extensive handlingof the product during the production process also contributes to itsrapid deterioration and contamination. Results showed the açaí asa vehicle for oral transmission of Acute Chagas disease (ACD). Thepasteurization, which is an important thermal processing in the foodindustry, can inactivate the protozoan that transmits the ACD, assuringthe microbiological food safety. However, heat can aff ect importantsensory characteristics such as color and fl avor and decrease açaíacceptance. On the other hand, information about the product caninterfere in consumer choice and intention to purchase. The studywas conducted with two brands of ready-to-eat açaí, pasteurizedand unpasteurized. Aff ective acceptance tests were performed withthe samples, using the hedonic 9-point scale (1 = dislike extremelyto 9 = like extremely). Moreover, evaluations also included frequencyof consumption, and purchase intention. Results demonstrated thatthe pasteurization claim, given to consumers, increased (p<0.05)acceptance of the pasteurized sample (7.5a), initially (without theclaim) (6.2b) not as well accepted as the unpasteurized sample(7.8a) (p<0.05). Despite this, the claim of not pasteurization didnot infl uence the acceptance of the unpasteurized sample (7.8a),which remained well accepted (p>0.05) by consumers (7.8a). Theseresults reinforce the importance of the eff ect of information on theconsumers’ acceptance and purchase intention of açaí.

This study focuses on examining the impact of three components of materialism on green purchase intention for urban consumers in Vietnam, an emerging economy. An extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is applied as the conceptual framework for this study. The hypotheses are empirically tested using survey data obtained from consumers in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. The regression results show support for most of our hypotheses. The findings indicate that two out of three facets of materialism are significant predictors of green purchase intention. Specifically, success is found to be negatively related to purchase intention, while happiness is related positively to the intention. All three antecedents in the TPB model, including attitude towards green purchase, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control are also found to have positive impacts on purchase intention. The research findings are discussed and implications for managers and policy makers are provided.

Among the roughly 150 Italian songbooks published between 1610 and 1665 with the guitar tablature known as alfabeto, about thirteen are anthologies. These anthologies often advertise the role of a compiler who has gathered together music by diverse authors. The extent to which compilers also functioned as authors and editors is not well understood. This essay considers the case of Giovanni Stefani, a compiler who, in the preface to his Scherzi amorosi of 1622, describes the anthology as a collection of his choosing that contains “varie compositioni de Virtuosi della prima classe” (various compositions of first-class virtuosos). Intriguingly, none of the settings Stefani prints (in both this alfabeto anthology and two others) include attributions. Since the 1880s, scholars have been preoccupied with matters of transmission and attribution, unearthing a network of textual and musical concordances. This article expands the nexus of Stefani’s songs and their concordant sources, revealing an array of examples that range from identical copies to “partial” concordances that take over motives, phrases, refrains, or harmonic schemes. These examples indicate that in preparing his anthologies, Stefani mined a corpus of existing prints and manuscripts while also relying heavily on oral transmission. The complex nature of Stefani’s approach, taken together with his complete avoidance of composer attributions, points toward an editorial process shaped by a fluid exchange between oral and written musical practices.
