A microbial risk assessment (MRA) can provide the scientific basis for risk management decision making. Much data are needed to complete an MRA, including quantitative data for pathogens in foods. The purpose of this document was to provide information on data needs and data collection approaches for MRAs that will be useful for national governments, particularly in developing countries. A framework was developed, which included the following activities: (i) identify the purpose of data collection—this should include stating the specific question(s) to be addressed; (ii) identify and gather existing data—this should include a determination of whether the data are sufficient to answer questions to be addressed; (iii) develop and implement a data collection strategy; (iv) analyze data and draw conclusions; and (v) use data to answer questions identified at the start of the process. The key data needs identified for an MRA were as follows: (i) burden of foodborne or waterborne disease; (ii) microbial contamination of foods; and (iii) consumption patterns. In addition, dose-response data may be necessary, if existing dose-response data cannot be used to estimate dose response for the population of interest. Data should be collected with a view to its use in risk management decision making. Standard sampling and analysis methods should be used to ensure representative samples are tested, and care should be taken to avoid bias when selecting data sets. A number of barriers to data collection were identified, including a lack of clear understanding of the type of data needed to undertake an MRA, which is addressed in this document.

In software development projects, managers still have to face a variety of organisational and technical limitations despite the development of technology and approaches to improve the project management process. Projects, Human Resources and Costs are planned for a specific period of time. However, in the progression of project execution, there is a need to make various decisions and to dynamically adjust the work plan during the project in order to conform to its evolution. Thus, there is a need for a method that employs the latest technology to support the project management decision-making process. The aim and the expected result of the article are to identify and collect available information in the scientific literature to answer the following questions: (1) Which challenges of project management have been addressed using genetic algorithms? (2) What are the opportunities and limitations of genetic algorithms in the project management decision-making process? (3) What are the potential solutions to the identified genetic algorithm problems?

Objective - The registration and disclosure of the company's accounting information, attributed to the accounting professional, is of utmost importance for the decision making process for the company-manager. This theoretical essay presents and discusses the main contributions of the theory on management decision making between the company and the accounting process.Methodology - In methodological terms, this study is defined as a theoretical essay, in the sense that it seeks, through the existing literature, an understanding of the issue of Corporate Governance in Non-Governmental Organizations. This study can be classified as a theoretical-conceptual bibliographic research. The study will search the existing literature of the theme, with the purpose of elaborating a theoretical reference on Agency Theory, Accounting and Corporate Governance.Results - As a contribution to the discussion, this work was developed from extensive bibliographic research in Brazilian and international journals and events, contemplating foundations related to the reality of Accounting and organizations. Although few researches address the association of these theories with accounting practice, especially regarding the production of accounting information for external users, the research findings expose the close relationship between the two fields of knowledge. Contributions - Among the main contributions of decision theories to accounting science, knowledge about human behavior that can be used in behavioral accounting, the need for subsidies for accountants to make more rational decisions and, especially, the possibility of improving accounting systems, aiming at better treatment of information for the decision-making process, stand out.

The aim of the paper is to introduce method which allows to calculate the estimation of the total consumer spending for 2019 in different regions of the Czech Republic. Presented method is based on combination of publicly available consumer spending data sets and geomarketing information. It can be applied to estimate consumer spending in total or for example only in one specific consumption expenditure group. Thus obtained findings, that can be visualized on a map with the use of GIS software, can be considered as a basis for more effective SMEs‘ marketing and management decision-making process concerning Czech Republic local consumer goods markets‘ size and characteristics as well as for forecasting future growth rate.
