Brain responses of dysphoric and control participants during a self‐esteem implicit association test
2021
Previous studies have reported lowered implicit self‐esteem at the behavioral level among depressed individuals. However, brain responses related to the lowered implicit self‐esteem have not been investigated in people with depression. Here, event‐related potentials were measured in 28 dysphoric participants (individuals with elevated amounts of depressive symptoms) and 30 control participants during performance of an implicit association task (IAT) suggested to reflect implicit self‐esteem. Despite equivalent behavioral performance, differences in brain responses were observed between the dysphoric and the control groups in late positive component (LPC) within 400–1,000 ms poststimulus lat…
Salt release monitoring with specific sensors in "in vitro" oral and digestive environments from soft cheeses
2012
International audience; The objective of the present work is to demonstrate the interest and the feasibility of the measurement of NaCl concentrations in soft cheeses and in particular an in vitro digestion process by the use of chemical sensors. The analyzed matrices were the commercial Italian mozzarella cheeses and domestic cheese base models. The classification of mozzarellas was performed according to their salinity, while the breakdown of cheese base models has been followed both at initial steps of digestion in artificial mouth dispositive mimicking the oral sphere and in a gut-imitating digester (TIM-1). During the breakdown of soft cheese in the digester, the estimated values for N…
Ancora in tema di incompatibilità endoprocessuale del giudice: l’icona dell’hortus conclusus
2022
Gli snodi dell’incompatibilità endoprocessuale del giudice continuano a occupare ruoli di primo piano nei laboratori delle verifiche di costituzionalità: il contributo rilegge la ratio dell’esclusione concettuale di figure di incompatibilità orizzontali endofasiche anche alla luce delle esigenze di continuità della parabola del “cammino del pensiero” segnalate da pagine di rilievo della filosofia del novecento. Italian Constitutional Court’s case law, since 1990, includes many statements about judge’s incompatibility when he made a decision into an earlier stage of the same judgment. This paper traces the logic of non configurability of incompatibility cases when the judge has made a prelim…
The role of personality characteristics and family process on indecisiveness on Italian adolescents.
2012
Findings from several studies underlined that career indecision and indecisiveness are two separate constructs even if indecisiveness is associated with decision making process (Germeijs & Boeck, 2002). Authors discussed the relationships between indecisiveness and personality characteristics: indecision has been related to external locus of control, trait anxiety, and low self-esteem (Bacanli, 2006), but findings were not completely coherent. Furthermore, recent research have pointed out the relationship between family process and career decision making (Nota et al., 2007), but the role that family process could play in the emergence of generalized indecision has been weakly studied. The p…
Memory-Efficient Sliding Window Progressive Meshes
2007
Progressive mesh is a data structure that encodes a continuous spectrum of mesh approximations. Sliding window progressive meshes (SWPM) minimize data transfers between CPU and GPU by storing mesh data in static on-GPU memory buffers [For01]. The main disadvantages of the original SWPM algorithm are poor vertex cache usage efficiency, and big resulting datasets. Connectivity-based algorithm [KT04] achieves a good vertex cache coherence but it does not address the problem of high memory utilization. In this paper, we describe estimates for the size of memory buffers, and describe methods to reduce the index datasets. We achieve 20% reduction due to the use hierarchical data structures (clust…
Trabajo social en el Espacio Europeo supone la recuperación de espacios perdidos
2012
La nuevas orientaciones y reformas universitarias nos obligan a re-pensar el alcance del trabajo social, a redefinir sus ámbitos y desarrollar aspectos de su práctica hacia formas nuevas, que permitan alcanzar mejor los objetivos propios del Trabajo Social, que no son otros que el bienestar individual y familiar y en su caso comunitarios o colectivos, participando de los recursos individuales y sociales, que la propia sociedad genera en favor de sus propios ciudadanos/as y eso de una manera comunicativa, dialógica (democrática) en la que el cliente se sienta, porque lo es, el protagonista del (su) cambio. The new university orientation and reforms force us to rethink the scope of Social Wor…
Classification of healthy, Alzheimer and Parkinson populations with a multi-branch neural network
2022
Signal processing, for delimitation of the target events and parametrization, is usually required when instrumented assessment is conducted to determine an individual’s functional status. However, these procedures may rule out relevant information obtained by sensors. To prevent this, the use of models based on neural networks that automatically extract relevant features from the raw signal may improve the characterization of the functional status. Thus, the aim of the study was to determine the classification accuracy of a multi-head convolutional layered neural network (CNN) using a simple functional mobility test in people with different conditions. The raw data from an inertial sensor e…
Change detection to tone pairs during the first year of life : Predictive longitudinal relationships for EEG-based source and time-frequency measures
2019
Brain responses related to auditory processing show large changes throughout infancy and childhood with some evidence that the two hemispheres might mature at different rates. Differing rates of hemispheric maturation could be linked to the proposed functional specialization of the hemispheres in which the left auditory cortex engages in analysis of precise timing information whereas the right auditory cortex focuses on analysis of sound frequency. Here the auditory change detection process for rapidly presented tone-pairs was examined in a longitudinal sample of infants at the age of 6 and 12 months using EEG. The ERP response related to change detection of a frequency contrast, its estima…
Définir et comprendre l’ESS sur les territoires frontaliers franco-suisses :l’observatoire ESSpace
2022
The four Franco-Swiss chambers of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) (Franche-Comté, Vaud, Rhône-Alpes and Genève) collaborated from 2012 to 2014 in an Interreg IV project, the purpose of which was to conduct "a collective reflection to support the development, enhance the value of good practices and social and solidarity initiatives from one region to another" (Project Summary Document, 2015). This reflection aims to understand together how the SSE is experienced in these territories, to explore the similarities, nuances and differences.A corpus of the various definitions of the actors themselves, and selected by these actors, was constituted and analysed according to the method of Co…
Measuring the Rate of Information Exchange in Point-Process Data With Application to Cardiovascular Variability
2022
The amount of information exchanged per unit of time between two dynamic processes is an important concept for the analysis of complex systems. Theoretical formulations and data-efficient estimators have been recently introduced for this quantity, known as the mutual information rate (MIR), allowing its continuous-time computation for event-based data sets measured as realizations of coupled point processes. This work presents the implementation of MIR for point process applications in Network Physiology and cardiovascular variability, which typically feature short and noisy experimental time series. We assess the bias of MIR estimated for uncoupled point processes in the frame of surrogate…
