The Role of Surface Acting in the Relationship between Job Stressors, General Health and Need for Recovery Based on the Frequency of Interactions at …

2022

The aim of the study was to verify whether the frequency of face-to-face interactions with the public at work can reveal differences in how people react to emotional regulation demands. In particular, we investigated the mediating role of surface acting (a strategy of dealing with emotional dissonance) in the relationship between two typical job stressors (workload and mental load) and two outcomes closely related to work-related well-being: employees’ general health and the need for recovery. Prior studies investigating the detrimental effects of emotional dissonance mostly focused on service workers. However, in light of a survey conducted by the European Agency for Safety and Health at W…

Proximal versus distal contextual factors: which impact on meal pleasure and food intake in the elderly living in a nursing home?

2014

Poster présenté lors de la conférence; Introduction: Several authors pointed out the importance of meal context on food intake in nursing home. Some authors assessed the impact of context improvement on food intake in nursing home, but they assessed ‘holistic’ strategies by improving physical environment, increasing choice level, changing staff organization… (Abbott et al. 2013). Despite some of these interventions were effective, these strategies are costly and thus difficult to be implemented in nursing home. The aim of the present experiment was to assess the impact of single contextual factors, three proximal factors (food contextual factors) and three distal factors (non-food contextua…

Initial-Stage Suicide Bereavement Experiences: A Case Study.

2022

This study aimed to shed light on the initial-stage bereavement experiences of an individual bereaved by suicide, at three months from the loss of his spouse to suicide. A semi-structured in-depth interview was conducted with the individual, a man in his thirties. The data were analyzed using qualitative assimilation analysis, based on the Assimilation Model and the Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES). The APES ratings of the interview revealed that the individual’s bereavement was associated with the earlier stages of APES (all scoring under 3.5). In addition, the swift and frequent fluctuations in the APES ratings gave indications that the bereavement was unstable and co…

Collectes des données de pratiques agricoles des sites du Réseau de Mesures de la Qualité des Sols

2022

The INRAE InfoSol unit, mandated by the Gis Sol, coordinates the French Soil Monitoring Network (RMQS) set up to assess the quality and evolution of soils in France. A local trained team collects management data through a survey with farmers or operators for each site and campaign. The initial objective of collecting all soil-related management data, answering multidisciplinary uses, has faced collection difficulties and lengthy interviews. Hence, survey forms were revised before the second campaign, started in 2016. The new forms were tested and improved for two years, and the data collection strategy was tuned. In order to analyze the first responses and to suggest improvements, the study…

Mycorrhizae in crop production

2007

International audience; It has been a revelation that, strictly speaking, most plants do not have roots but rather mycorrhizae, a fact that has had tremendous consequences on the life of plants and the evolution of soil-plant systems. The research on arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses has been intensive over the past forty years and we have learned a lot on the physiology, biology, ecology, and genetics of the symbiosis and the fungi involved in it. Most important, it appeared that cropping systems could be more sustainable with the management of AM fungi and reduced reliance on agrochemicals. The extraradical mycelia of AM fungi are an essential link between the plants, which are the co…

Breeding annual legumes for sustainable agricultures must target for new and more complex variety ideotypes

2013

International audience; Although yield and total biomass produced by annual legumes remain major objectives for breeders, environment-friendly, resource use efficient including symbiotic performance, resilient production in the context of climate change, adaptation to sustainable cropping systems (reducing leaching and glasshouse gas emissions), adaptation to diverse uses (seeds for feeds foods, non-food, forage or green manures), and finally new ecological services such as pollinator protection, imply the development of innovative genotypes, definition of new ideotypes and acceptance of their commercialisation. Taken as a whole, this means more complex and integrated objectives for breeder…

From’Innov: a new technology to obtain aroma in solubilized soft-cheese

2023

The dairy platform of the STLO, Rennes, developed an innovative technology and more sustainable cheese making process (INRAE patent, From’Innov, WO2016108024). This technology consists of mixing a texture matrix obtained by ultrafiltration with one or more aromatic matrix. The latter is innovative: it allows obtaining a maximum of aroma in a short time, less than a few days. The principle is to grow each of microorganisms in an optimized middle with essential nutrients, optimal pH and temperature, and O2 if necessary. After adjusting the pH and temperature of the mix, we proceed with the coagulation then the molding, and the next day the demolding. The cheese is ready and contains the expec…

Basic assumptions for introducing circular solutions in the buildings sector

2016

Tradycyjne, linearne modele biznesowe są jedną z głównych przyczyn braku zrównoważonego rozwoju, nadmiernego wykorzystywania zasobów nieodnawialnych i energii, a także nadmiernego wytwarzania odpadów. Odpowiedź na te problemy stanowi koncepcja gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, której celem jest poprawa wydajności w gospodarowaniu zasobami i energią w każdej fazie cyklu życia produktu (usługi). Głównym celem niniejszego artykułu jest określenie, co może być uznawane w sektorze budownictwa za produkt w ramach gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, a także, jakie rodzaje takich produktów i / lub usług mogłyby być potencjalnie wykorzystane przez firmy doradcze funkcjonujące między innymi w sektorze budo…

2020

Il volume raccoglie i contributi scientifici di diversi autori, la maggior parte dei quali avevano presentato le loro relazioni già nell'ambito del Convegno di studi intitolato "Memoria scientiae 2019. Crescere/Svilupparsi" (Palermo, 21-23 febbraio 2019) sulle teorie e rappresentazioni della crescita umana e degli altri organismi viventi nel mondo antico (in particolare greco e romano) e nelle moderne scienze della vita. The volume collects the scientific contributions of various authors, most of whom had presented their reports already in the context of the study conference entitled "Memoria scientiae 2019.
