“…The literatures reflected that EVA model can be applied to measure the performance of tourism companies (Altaf, 2016;Lee & Kim, 2009;Zinkin, 2006). Martinelli et al (2020) indicated that EVA can improve the environmental and economic performance of products or services in listed tourism companies. The paper focuses on a better method of measuring the performance of tourism listed companies and analyzes the data of tourism listed companies from 2013 to 2015 with EVA and Malmquist index.…”

Operating Performance of Tourism Listed Companies in China: The Perspective of Economic Value Added

This article uses economic value added (EVA) to analyze the sustainability of performance of tourism listed companies from 2013 to 2015. The Malmquist index is used for the analysis of different operating performance across various types of tourism listed companies. It is found that the operating performance of tourism listed companies in China is not satisfactory, as merely less than half of them have a positive EVA. This study also finds that for different types of tourism listed companies, a variety of strategies for improvement should be adopted. For example, commercial companies should pay attention to the new customer needs, and scenic area companies need to increase investment in technology.

“…Furthermore, in Kuwait, average poultry meat consumption per capita from 2004 to 2016 was a whopping 64.4 kg/year (approximately 1.2 kg/week) [10]. Another country showing substantial growth is Brazil; Brazil is the country with the largest export rate of poultry meat and the second highest poultry meat producer globally, making it a top competitor with China and the US [11]. This increased preference and, consequently, production could be due to a couple of factors: firstly, because the price of red meat has increased while the price of chicken has remained constant, and secondly, many health concerns have been associated with red meat which, thus, have created the perception of chicken being a healthier and leaner option [9,12].…”

The control of Salmonella in chicken processing plants is an ongoing challenge for many factories around the globe, especially with the increasing demand for poultry escalating processing throughputs. Foodborne outbreaks due to Salmonella still pose a prominent risk to public health. As chicken meat is a good reservoir for Salmonella, it is important for chicken processing plants to continuously optimize methods to reduce the incidence of Salmonella on their products. Current methods include the use of chemical antimicrobials such as chlorine-containing compounds and organic acids. However, these current methods are decreasing in popularity due to the rising rate of Salmonella resistance, coupled with the challenge of preserving the sensory properties of the meat, along with the increasing stringency of antimicrobial use. Bacteriophages are becoming more appealing to integrate into the large scale hurdle concept. A few factors s need to be considered for successful implementation, such as legislation, and application volumes and concentrations. Overall, bacteriophages show great potential because of their host specificity, guaranteeing an alternative outcome to the selective pressure for resistant traits placed by chemicals on whole microbial communities.

“…Eco-efficiency assessment on a regional scale for BEVs provides pathways in structuring policies and possible changes for regional sustainable development (Ferreira et al, 2020). Despite several studies focusing on the significance of regionalized sustainability assessments for EV technologies for eco-efficiency performance evaluation (Konstantas, Stamford, & Azapagic, 2020;Martinelli et al, 2020), little to nearly no research has yet presented a regionalized eco-efficiency assessment for EVs across Europe. This research work's novelty arises from the importance of BEV's eco-efficiency measures in providing policymakers in the EU with a realistic overview of the potential benefits of the transition to electric-based mobility.…”

Sustainable transportation is at the hearth of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is directly linked to many SDGs including SDG3 (good health and well-being), SDG11 (sustainable cities and societies), SDG 7 (clean energy), SDG13 (climate), and SDG 12 (sustainable production and consumption). European countries have been promoting a widespread adoption of electric vehicles to achieve SDGs through resilient, technology-driven, and human-centric mobility. However, potential environmental benefits of electric vehicles depend on various regional factors such as the fuel efficiency and source of electricity generation. At the same time, the economic benefits of mobility to the economy are an important factor for evaluating the relative performance of electric vehicles. To this end, this research paper presents the first empirical analysis of the regionalized eco-efficiency assessment of electric vehicles across Europe. We developed an integrated regionalized eco-efficiency performance score, by employing life cycle assessment and principal component analysis techniques to assess the eco-efficiency performance of electric vehicles in Europe. Considering the energy mix for electricity generation, three environmental indicators (carbon footprint, water consumption, and energy use) and one economic (contribution to national gross domestic product) indicator were used to compute the eco-efficiency scores for 28 European countries. The eco-efficiency scores for each corresponding country were calculated, compared, and clustered in as high, medium, and low eco-efficiency score countries. The clvalid package of R software's archive network is used to determine the optimal number of clusters for the EES dataset. The results of the comparative study
