“…(2020), improper packaging assistance may also comprise the use of antiquated, badly maintained packaging machinery that is unable to effectively manage the amount or variety of items. According to Ding et al (2023), insufficient packaging services can also cause delays, mistakes, or irregularities in the process of packaging, which can result in less-than-ideal packing results and a higher risk of food contamination or spoiling during storage and transit. Errors or omissions committed during the packing process that jeopardize the products' quality, safety, or commercial viability are referred to as packaging mistakes.…”

Sustainable agricultural practices necessitate the effective treatment and usage of waste produced throughout the farming and harvesting process, which is known as agricultural waste management. It starts by outlining the many agricultural waste sources, such as crop leftovers and animal dung, agrochemicals, and packaging materials. The innovative waste management technologies and strategies such as composting, anaerobic digestion, bioenergy production, and precision agriculture techniques. These advancements offer opportunities to mitigate environmental pollution, enhance soil health, and promote resource efficiency within the agricultural sector. Advancements in technology, policy frameworks, and collaborative approaches, stakeholders can foster sustainable agricultural practices that promote environmental stewardship and support the long-term viability of agricultural systems.

“…Risk management is a necessary and important process to ensure the safety and reliability of the transportation process. The safety of the cold chain is often distinguished from general transportation safety in past governmental or organizational standards and norms, as well as in research by scholars, and if there are aspects of the cold chain that are addressed, they are often not comprehensive enough [34]. There has been little research, especially in areas involving the safety of cold-chain vaccine transportation.…”

“…In Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a widely used method [36]. The AHP was developed by Saaty in 1971, when he was working on strain planning issues for the U.S. Department of Defense, and the theory was published in a book in 1980 [34]. The AHP has been effectively adopted in policy planning, forecasting, judgment, resource allocation, and investment portfolios, providing a systematic and clearly structured hierarchy and assigning weights to each element in the hierarchy to provide decision makers with a basis for making choices and judgments on which to base optimal decisions [36].…”

“…This study constructed a decision-making model based on fuzzy hierarchical analysis based on the results of the expert questionnaire. First, using the initial guidelines decided in the first stage, this paper adopted the specific steps proposed by Murry and Hammons [34] to form a panel of experts to discuss and determine the upper and lower hierarchical relationships of the criteria, as well as the relevance of each criterion. Lastly, the FAHP assessment model was designed on the basis of the results of the discussion.…”

COVID-19 vaccines have become pivotal in combating the pandemic since 2019. However, risks stemming from human errors, equipment malfunctions, and emergencies during cold-chain transportation can jeopardize vaccine security without effective safety standards. To ensure COVID-19 vaccine transportation safety, efficiency, and quality while mitigating risks, this study employed the modified Delphi method (MDM) to create a cold-chain vaccine transportation quality evaluation system. With the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), it then ranked indicator importance. The system comprises 5 criteria and 26 sub-criteria, highlighting factors like local weather conditions, topography, road characteristics, cold-chain logistics standardization, and national economic development. These significantly impact vaccine transport quality and risk. Regional authorities are advised to address these high-priority indicators by enhancing equipment, refining operational procedures, strengthening monitoring, offering training, etc. This comprehensive approach could minimize potential transportation setbacks, ensuring vaccine safety and quality. Crucially, this system offers valuable insights for health policies, transportation bodies, and companies. It sets safety benchmarks for cold-chain vaccine transportation and can be extended to other vaccines or medicines. This contribution is pivotal for future vaccine transportation management.

“…However, fish fillets with high moisture content and abundant nutrients are susceptible to deterioration caused by endogenous and microbiological enzymes [ 4 ]. Breaks in the cold chain caused by unregulated practices still occur frequently throughout the cold chain transportation, resulting in spoilage of fish fillets [ 5 , 6 ]. Therefore, rapid and effective techniques for freshness detection of fish fillets are significant in preventing food safety risks.…”

Rapid detection of fish freshness is of vital importance to ensuring the safety of aquatic product consumption. Currently, the widely used optical detecting methods of fish freshness are faced with multiple challenges, including low detecting efficiency, high cost, large size and low integration of detecting equipment. This research aims to address these issues by developing a low-cost portable fluorescence imaging device for rapid fish freshness detection. The developed device employs ultraviolet-light-emitting diode (UV-LED) lamp beads (365 nm, 10 W) as excitation light sources, and a low-cost field programmable gate array (FPGA) board (model: ZYNQ XC7Z020) as the master control unit. The fluorescence images captured by a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera are processed by the YOLOv4-Tiny model embedded in FPGA to obtain the ultimate results of fish freshness. The circuit for the YOLOv4-Tiny model is optimized to make full use of FPGA resources and to increase computing efficiency. The performance of the device is evaluated by using grass carp fillets as the research object. The average accuracy of freshness detection reaches up to 97.10%. Moreover, the detection time of below 1 s per sample and the overall power consumption of 47.1 W (including 42.4 W light source power consumption) indicate that the device has good real-time performance and low power consumption. The research provides a potential tool for fish freshness evaluation in a low-cost and rapid manner.
