161	“For here or to go?” Migrant workers and the enforcement of workplace rights in Canada: temporary foreign workers in the British Columbia hospitality sector Allen, Danielle 14 September 2017 (has links) Why do temporary foreign workers employed in the British Columbia hospitality sector have difficulty enforcing their workplace rights? Using the themes of people, place and time, this thesis explores the demand and supply of migrant workers in the British Columbia hospitality sector, and the challenges temporary foreign workers face at the intersection of immigration law, employment law, occupational health and safety law, and workers’ compensation law. The thesis argues that the low-skilled Temporary Foreign Worker Program shifts the negative consequences of unfair working conditions and workplace health and safety risks over people, place and time: from Canadian workers and employers onto temporary foreign workers; from Canada to elsewhere; and from the present into the future. Workplace rights are not enough for hospitality sector workers, what is needed is better tools for the enforcement of those rights. / Graduate British Columbia Hospitality Workplace Rights Employment Law Occupational Health and Safety Workers' Compensation Temporary Foreign Worker Migrant Workers Immigration Law Demand and Supply of Migrant Workers Fast food work Restaurant work Employment Standards Human Rights Code

164	Pizzas Métricas Andrade Zeña, Carmen Rosa, Camasca Arotinco, Deyvi Alexis, Castillo Tipiana, Jahayra del Carmen, Chempen Pardo, Vilma Cecilia 18 July 2019 (has links) Este proyecto empresarial explora la idea de negocio para la introducción de un restaurante de comida rápida saludable llamado “Pizzas Métricas” en el área de Lima metropolitana. Su actividad principal será la producción, elaboración y comercialización de pizzas artesanales con sabores variados vendidas al peso. Este formato surge de un proyecto en conjunto de los alumnos de la carrera de negocios de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC). A partir de las investigaciones se determinó que existe un nicho de mercado de pizzas artesanales no satisfecho por la oferta de restaurantes de comida rápida en Lima metropolitana. La meta es captar al consumidor de pizzas con productos de alta calidad, pero con la diferencia que la presentación será exactamente con el tamaño que el cliente desee. Esto para facilitar la decisión de compra y permitir un acercamiento diferente con el consumidor, al dejarles decidir las dimensiones exactas de su pizza y brindándole la oportunidad de probarla antes de adquirirla. Para su puesta en marcha se necesitará una inversión inicial de S/ 71,678.20; distribuido en maquinaria y equipos S/ 34,080.00, herramientas S/ 2,180.00, muebles y enseres más gastos pre operativos S/ 15,418.200 y finalmente el capital de trabajo S/. 20,000.00. El financiamiento está comprendido; el 50% en un prestamos de terceros y el otro 50% de los aportes de los accionistas. Finalmente, se estima recuperar la inversión en el octavo mes de operaciones. / This enterprise project explores the business idea for the introduction of a healthy fast food restaurant called “Pizzas Métricas” in the area of Lima. Its main activity will be the production, making and selling of artisanal pizzas with various tastes sold by weight. This idea is extrapolated from a mixture of different projects from students of the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences (UPC). From research it has been determined that there is a market niche unfulfilled by the offer of the current fast food restaurants in the Lima area. Our goal is to attract the pizza consumer with high quality products with the twist that the pizza will be exactly the size the customer desires. This will ease the purchase decision and to allow a different approach to the customer by allowing them to decide the exact dimensions of their pizza and allowing them to try it buying it. The initial investment will be for S/ 71,678.20; distributed between machinery and appliances for S/ 34,080.00, tools S/ 2,180.00, furniture and other operational expenses for S/ 15,418.20 and working capital of S/ 20,000.00. The financing will be composed as follows: 50% with a loan from a third party and the other 50% from the contributions of the shareholders. Is estimated that the investment will be recovered by the 8th month of operations. / Trabajo de investigación Restaurantes Comida rápida Comida saludable Pizza artesanal Creación de empresas Restaurants Fast food Healthy food Artisan pizza Business creation

167	Fast Food Consumption and Its Associations With Obesity and Hypertension Among Children: Results From the Baseline Data of the Childhood Obesity Study in China Mega-Cities Zhao, Yaling, Wang, Liang, Xue, Hong, Wang, Huijun, Wang, Youfa 06 December 2017 (has links) BACKGROUND: China has seen rapid increase in obesity and hypertension prevalence and fast food consumption over the past decade. We examined status and risk factors for Western- and Chinese fast food consumption and their associations with health outcomes in Chinese children, and examined how maternal factors were associated with child health outcomes. METHODS: Data of 1626 students aged 7-16 (11.6 ± 2.0) years and their parents in four mega-cities across China (Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Xi'an) were collected in the 2015 baseline survey of the Childhood Obesity Study in China Mega-cities. Weight, height, waist circumference, and blood pressure were measured. Food intake was assessed using questionnaire. Mixed models were used to examine the associations. RESULTS: Among the children, 11.1% were obese, 19.7% were centrally obese, and 9.0% had hypertension. Obesity prevalence was much higher in boys than in girls (15.2% vs. 6.9% and 27.4% vs. 11.7%, respectively, both P < 0.001). About half (51.9% and 43.6%) of children consumed Western and Chinese fast food, respectively, over the past 3 months. Compared to those with college or above maternal education level, those with elementary school or below maternal education level were 49% more likely to consume Western fast food (odds ratio [OR] and 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.49 [1.10-2.03]). Chinese fast food consumption rate increased by 12% with each year of increase in child's age (OR and 95% CI: 1.12 [1.02-1.23]). No significant associations between fast food consumption and health outcomes were detected. Adjusting for Western fast food consumption, children with lower maternal education were 71% and 43% more likely to have obesity and central obesity (ORs and 95% CIs: 1.71 [1.12-2.61] and 1.43 [1.00-2.03], respectively), and maternal body mass index was positively associated with child obesity, central obesity, and hypertension (ORs and 95% CIs: 1.11 [1.06-1.17], 1.12 [1.07-1.17], and 1.09 [1.03-1.15], respectively). Results were similar when Chinese fast food consumption was adjusted for. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of fast food consumption, obesity and hypertension is high among children in major cities in China.

169	Consumer Loyalty in Fast-Food Restaurants in Saudi Arabia Bukhari, Sulafah January 2015 (has links) This study assesses the loyalty behaviour of consumers in fast-food restaurants in Saudi Arabia by studying the antecedents and the consequences of loyalty behaviour. The sample consisted of 231 Saudis and non-Saudis living in Saudi Arabia. They were approached using the “snowball” technique. Participants were all over the age of eighteen, and they were customers of Al-Baik restaurants. Data was collected through a face-to-face questionnaire, and analyzed using SPSS software. Specifically, Cronbach’s Alpha test, Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis were used. Results show that significant relationships exist between the antecedents and the consequences of loyalty behaviour. It is also indicated that participants’ personalities and values were significantly related to the loyalty behaviour of consumers in Saudi Arabia. The major limitation of this study is that it was conducted in only one city, Jeddah. Therefore, additional research should be carried out in other cities with larger samples. The research results offer compelling evidence that Saudi loyalty behaviour differs from Western behaviour. Therefore, it suggests that international fast-food operators in Saudi Arabia should take local factors into account when formulating marketing strategies, such as the role of women and youth in Saudi society. This thesis makes a novel contribution to the literature, as it is the first to model the antecedents and the consequences of loyalty behaviour of consumers in a single study. It is also the first to study contributed to the literature to examine the relation between the Six Dimensional Achievement Motivation Scale (Jackson, Ahmed, and Heapy, 1976), Rokeach Value System (1973), and loyalty behaviour of consumers.
