Comparisons of individual bitterness perception and vegetable liking and consumption among Danish consumers:A pilot study for a cross-cultural sensor…
2012
In order to enhance the consumption of bitter and strong tasting vegetables such as cabbages and root vegetables, it is required to identify potential mediators of sociodemographic–diet relationships. In this context a consumer field studywas conducted in Denmark which comprised a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, a bitter threshold value test kit with quinineand a preference test with two samples of carrots differing in the degree of bitterness. All tests were conducted outside the laboratory, and the subjects (n=116, aged 18 to 79) were recruited during two different events at two sites in April and June 2011.Data was subjected to multivariate data analysis in order to eluci…
O zagrożeniu wypaleniem zawodowym nauczycieli wczesnej edukacji
2018
Nauczyciele stanowią jedną z tych grup zawodowych, które poddane są szczególnej kontroli społecznej, co ma związek z charakterem wykonywanej pracy. Odpowiedzialność za kształcenie i wychowanie przyszłych pokoleń, chęć sprostania oczekiwaniom rodziców a także wymaganiom stawianym przez nadzór pedagogiczny stwarza sytuację, w której osoby mniej odporne na stres narażone są ha różne konsekwencje. Od osób wykonujących zawód nauczyciela zawsze wymagano wiele. Poza niezbędnymi kompetencjami merytorycznymi, metodycznymi, psychologicznymi czy społecznymi, oczekiwano mądrości życiowej, odpowiedzialności, autentyczności, zaangażowania, poświęcenia, altruizmu, kreatywności i wielu innych cech sprzyjaj…
Designing browsing for in-car music player
2012
User interface features of a touch based mobile music player and their comparative impact on driver distraction when searching music albums were investigated. In a driving simulator experiment (N=18) three scrolling methods buttons, swipe and kinetic were compared, whereat the number of music tracks presented in a list-style format varied between three, five and seven items per page. Half of the participants used the music player in a portrait mode and half of them in a landscape mode. It was expected that swipe supports less severe distraction effects than kinetic or button due to systematic page-by-page scrolling and low levels of pointing accuracy required for browsing. Three items shoul…
Foreign captains in elite hockey markets: mediatized discourses of professionalization between routes and roots

Making the case for policy : persuasiveness in higher education, science and technology policy discourse
2015
Policy texts present problems, propose solutions to those problems and persuade multiple audiences of the legitimacy of the proposed problems and solutions. The rhetorical analysis of two decades of higher education and science and technology discourse in Finland, Germany, UK, Portugal and USA highlights the discursive elements that contribute to persuasiveness of policy, construe it as rational and logical, and create a sense of urgency in bringing it about. I argue that the analytical and hortatory registers of policy discourse foreground competitive and hierarchical relations of countries and their higher education systems. By construing certain state of affairs and courses of action as …
Does corn market uncertainty impact the US ethanol prices?
2018
The growing interest in biofuel as a green energy source has intensified the linkages between corn and ethanol markets, especially in the United States that represents the largest producing and exporting country for ethanol in the world. In this study, we examine the effect of corn market uncertainty on the price changes of US ethanol applying a set of GARCH-jump models. We find that the US ethanol price changes react positively to the corn market volatility shocks after controlling for the effect of oil price uncertainty. In addition, we document that the impact of corn price volatility on the US ethanol prices appears to be asymmetric. Specifically, only the positive corn market volatilit…
Visibility without voice: Media witnessing irregular migrants in BBC online news journalism
2016
In the analysis of journalistic representation of irregular migration to Europe, rather little attention is given to the variation of modes and genres of journalism. Most studies focus on text in ‘old media’ and the news genre. This article analyses affordances of different modalities and genres of online journalism in framing irregular migrants. Media framing in BBC online news coverage of a mediatised conflict in Spain, defined as a ‘migration crisis’, is analysed with multimodal social semiotics. While mediation makes global audiences witness tragedies at Europe's borders and online journalism affords more voice and deliberation for migrant sources, the frames of threat and victim domina…
Early development of taste and flavor preferences and consequences on eating behavior
2018
The first 1000 days of life constitute an important period for development of health and eating behavior, in particular because the mode of feeding drastically evolves, which involves that the child has to learn “how” to eat, but also “what” to eat, “how” much food to eat. After birth, when foods are orally exposed, infants discover the intrinsic properties of foods, with a variety of tastes, flavors, textures, as well as energy densities. Here we focus on deciphering the involvement of taste and olfaction in the early establishment of eating behavior. In the OPALINE French birth cohort (Observatory of Food Preferences in Infants and Children), taste and flavor preferences were studied in c…
