Physico-chemical characterisation of a non-conventional food protein source from earthworms and sensory impact in arepas
2009
International audience; This study aimed to characterise a non-conventional protein source: a powder made from earthworms, and to evaluate its potential use as human food. The way it was prepared led to low solubility and wide particle size distribution. Sensory analysis was used to assess the acceptability and the organoleptic properties of maize-based pan-cakes fortified with this novel protein powder. Satisfying products were obtained with a substitution level of 5.5% (w/w) earthworm powder in pan-cakes. GC-MS allowed the identification of more than seventy volatile compounds that may be responsible for the off-odour of the powder. The most abundant chemical groups found in the volatile …
Examining consumers' intention, behavior, and beliefs in mobile banking adoption and continuous usage
2016
Changing consumer behavior continues to have a profound impact on digital banking adoption and prolonged usage in developed and emerging markets. Several factors influence the consumer decision journey when choosing any specific digital channel or combination of channels. Among a variety of digital banking channels, this dissertation research seeks to contribute to the mobile banking (m-banking) literature by examining consumer behavior in m-banking services as well as technology (application) adoption and continuous usage, especially after considering the fact that financial service institutions have entered a time when offering mobile-based services is no longer a novelty but a necessity.…
La valeur économique des paysages des villes périurbanisées
2007
La recherche présentée ici propose une méthode de description et d’évaluation des caractéristiques d’un paysage qui combine la géographie quantitative et l’économétrie des modèles hédoniques. Un modèle géographique produit des indices caractérisant les paysages à partir d’une reconstitution de la vue depuis le sol, en tenant compte des effets du relief et des masques que les objets hauts opposent à la vue. Il décrit la quantité de paysage vu par un observateur au niveau du sol en la répartissant entre 13 types d’occupations du sol. Les variables produites par le modèle géographique sont utilisées dans des régressions hédoniques qui permettent d’évaluer l’impact des attributs paysagers ain…
PROCESSO CONSERVATIVO E SIGNIFICATIVITà UN APPROCCIO METODOLOGICO PER LA PROGETTAZIONE DEI SISTEMI DI PROTEZIONE NEI SITI ARCHEOLOGICI/CONSERVATION P…
2018
Patrimonio culturale in generale e dei beni archeologici in particolare, in ragione della loro duplice natura (materiale e immateriale) e coerentemente con l’interesse della Cultura tecnologica per la centralità di quegli aspetti di processo che sono determinanti per una loro adeguata valorizzazione e ampia fruizione, il presente contributo propone un modello di valutazione per capire ‘cosa’ conservare e ‘per- ché’ nell’ottica di uno sviluppo sostenibile, ancor prima di ‘come’ farlo, consentendo una più chiara lettura e una più agevole interpretazione delle complesse relazioni esistenti fra le preesistenze archeologiche, il contesto naturale e i sistemi antropici aggiunti. Il modello di val…

Automated Checking of Flexible Mathematical Reasoning in the Case of Systems of (In)Equations and the Absolute Value Operator
2021
We present an approach and a tool for automatically providing feedback on solutions that involve complicated reasoning patterns. Currently the tool supports linear systems of equations and inequations that may also contain the absolute value operator and a restricted form of rational functions. This suffices for designing problems that are laborious to solve with standard mechanical procedures, but much easier using short-cuts that students may find by creative thinking. Earlier research has found that struggling with important mathematics promotes conceptual development. Our goal is to encourage students to such struggling. A crucial feature is to give them great freedom to choose the path…
Poczucie jakości życia osób z kadry kierowniczej w świetle Modelu Osobowościowo-Aksjologicznego MOA
2016
The paper attempte to present issues coming from the raanagement and personality psychology, including their implications for company management practices and for their impact on spocialists well-being and a ąuality of life. The research, based on Ryan and Deci concept, cuncerns the psychological needs, adaptation (Rotter) and hierarchical valucs (Rokeach) of spocialists. It was assumed that the sense of the quality of life would reveal asignificant relationahip with personality-relatcd and axiological dimensions among spocialists. It was hypothesized that a positive correlation between independent porsonolity-related variables distinguished in the personality and axiologica) MOA model for …
La necesaria rehabilitación del sistema representativo en las propuestas de reforma democrática
2010
In the debates on deliberative democracy it’s a common idea that the defenders of this theory argue for the direct participation of the citizens in the political issues and for the transformation of our current representative devices. However, in this work I argue that this conception is misguided, and that it’s the minority who defends the direct participation. The majority of the writers acknowledges the necessity of a representative device, although based on different premises to the liberal system. The deliberative democracy supports a responsible and compromised citizenship, against the model of self interested citizenship.<br><br>En los debates sobre la democracia delibera…
Generalized wave propagation problems and discrete exterior calculus
2018
We introduce a general class of second-order boundary value problems unifying application areas such as acoustics, electromagnetism, elastodynamics, quantum mechanics, and so on, into a single framework. This also enables us to solve wave propagation problems very efficiently with a single software system. The solution method precisely follows the conservation laws in finite-dimensional systems, whereas the constitutive relations are imposed approximately. We employ discrete exterior calculus for the spatial discretization, use natural crystal structures for three-dimensional meshing, and derive a “discrete Hodge” adapted to harmonic wave. The numerical experiments indicate that the cumulat…
Analiza zależności pomiędzy pozycją w rankingu "Diamenty Forbesa" a wzrostem wartości przedsiębiorstwa
2016
Position of companies in various rankings is dependent on many factors, often it is difficult to satisfy all requirements at the same time that the occupied position was one of the best. The analysis of the size of enter- prises in various countries confirms the trend: there is a lot of the small enterprises, and the big ones are the minority. Considering the rankings of firms by size of assets Zipf justified the relationship between the position in the ranking and the size of these assets. The aim of the article was to determine the relationship between the growth of the company and the position in the ranking. Studies have shown that it is possible to describe the dependence of growth ent…
