Real-Time Processes of Career Goal Construction : A Study Case Approach with Implications for the Development of Adolescents’ Identity

2022

The study aimed at investigating how different young people going through the post-high school transition set, monitor, pursue, and renegotiate career goals in real-time and in everyday life circumstances. A theoretically driven proposition supported the conceptualization of career goals as complex dynamic systems and guided the examination and description of the moment-to-moment processes shaping the (re)construction of career goals. The study adopted an exploratory research approach and was based on a longitudinal case study design. Diary reports were collected for 39 weeks. Participants were four young people (three females, one male) who at the onset of the study were 18 years of age an…

Nutrient sensing: What can we learn from different tastes about the nutrient contents in today's foods?

2019

Abstract Tastes are often described as having a nutrient-signaling function eliciting expectations about the food and its nutrient content. The objectives of this work was to investigate correlations between taste intensity and nutrient content, to evaluate the impact of competing tastes on these relationships, and to know if the content in certain nutrients could be inferred from a combination of tastes. The Food Taste Database (Martin et al., 2014) and a French Food Composition table (ANSES-Ciqual) were used to obtain a dataset combining sensory and nutritional information for 365 foods. Our results confirm the existence of several taste-nutrient relationships previously suggested by othe…

Seabird influence on ecological processes in coastal marine ecosystems: an overlooked role?

2013

Coastal marine ecosystems and especially transitional environments host a large variety of birds, functioning as nesting sites for resident species and corridors for migratory ones. Seabirds activity may trigger movement of nutrients and organic matter between coastal boundaries, affecting their availability and processing. Consequently seabirds are often labelled as biotic vectors. While attention has been focused on the study of biodiversity level and migratory patterns of avifauna, there is little information on the effects of seabirds on ecological features (i.e. trophic status, biodiversity level, food web patterns, transfer of contaminants) in coastal marine ecosystems. To address the…

Non-conscious effect of food odors on children's food choices varies by weight status

2017

Open access original research (article number UNSP 16); OBJECTIVE: Food cues are omnipresent in the daily environment and may influence eating behavior even non-consciously. An increased reactivity to food cues, such as food odors, has been shown to be correlated with obesity in children. The objective of this study is to investigate whether the non-conscious influence of food odors on children's food choices varies by their weight status. METHODS: Seventy-four children, of whom 29 were obese, took part in this study. The children performed a food choice intention task presented as a computer game in which 30 pairs of food images (a fatty-sweet food picture vs. a fruit picture) successively…

Describir y dibujar en ciencias. La importancia del dibujo en las representaciones mentales del alumnado

2015

El presente trabajo pretende valorar los resultados obtenidos mediante la utilización del dibujo y de las descripciones a lo largo de una actividad basada en la observación de la morfología de las hormigas. Se plantea un trabajo individual y autónomo donde los participantes, en 3 etapas diferentes, deben tratar de dibujar o describir su observación de muestras vivas de hormigas. Los resultados de la investigación son muy significativos, puesto que encontramos diferencias estadísticas entre la utilización de las dos estrategias, así como entre las producciones de cada etapa, pudiendo ver cómo evolucionan sus representaciones mentales. Evidenciamos, de esta manera, que la estrategia de dibuja…

Evidence of neonatal memory of odor configuration

2013

The perception of some mixtures of odorants engages configural abilities, i.e. the perception of these mixtures as single odor objects. For instance, data in human adults demonstrated that a mixture of two odorants (AB), one smelling like strawberry and the other like caramel, generates the configural perception of the odor of pineapple (Le Berre et al., 2008; Barkat et al., 2012). Configural processing may be adaptive also for young organisms, to which rapid extraction of chemical information from the maternal environment, highly complex, is a prerequisite to survival. Thus, results in newborn rabbits suggest the perception of a unique odor in the AB mixture (smelling like configural pinea…

Towards Process Centered Architecting for Quantum Software Systems

2022

Quantum Software Engineering (QSE) is a recent trend - focused on unifying the principles of quantum mechanics and practices of software engineering - to design, develop, validate, and evolve quantum age software systems and applications. Software architecture for quantum computing (a.k. a. quantum software architectures (QSA)) supports the design, development, and maintenance etc. phases of quantum software systems using architectural components and connectors. QSA can enable quantum software designers and developers to map the operations of Qubits to architectural components and connectors for implementing quantum software. This research aims to explore the role of QSAs by investigating (…

Vecākā pirmsskolas vecuma bērnu satiksmes noteikumu apguves sekmēšana pedagoģiskajā procesā

2018

Darba autors: Alvīne Mārtinsone Darba temats: Vecākā pirmsskolas vecuma bērnu satiksmes noteikumu apguves sekmēšana pedagoģiskajā procesā. Darba mērķis: analizēt un pētīt vecākā pirmsskolas vecuma bērna satiksmes noteikumu apguves sekmēšanas iespējas rotaļās (rotaļnodarbībā). Lai atklātu izvirzīto mērķi, pētījumā tika analizētas dažādas pedagoģiskās, psiholoģiskās literatūras analīzes. Pirmajā daļā tiek apskatīti dažādu psihologu, pedagogu konkrētā vecuma posma bērnu raksturojums. Apskatītas vadlīnijas un Ministru kabineta noteikumi, kā arī dažādu pedagogu, psihologu nosacījumi, kuri satiksmes noteikumi jāmāca pirmsskolas vecuma bērniem. Lai noskaidrotu, kādi pedagoģiskie paņēmieni sekmēs b…
