Análisis de las propiedades psicométricas del Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire en adolescentes colombianos
2021
Abstract Background/objective: Decision-making is a set of skills useful for daily functioning which allow people to perform their tasks and control objectives and goals, generating responses to the environment’s demands from their resources. Research and intervention with adolescents require reliable instruments to assess decision-making. The Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire (MDMQ) is an instrument that assesses decision-making styles and has been successfully validated in different cultural contexts. This study analysed the psychometric properties, construct validity (factorial, convergent, and discriminant), and predictive validity of the MDMQ in Colombian adolescents. Method: A c…

Compost di qualità per la coltivazione del peperoncino ornamentale in vaso
2010
In two years (2008 and 2009), the research centre Co.Ri.SSIA evalueted the suitability of compost obtained from organic municipal waste used a growth substrate for three varieties of ornamental chili pepper (Capsicum annuum). Research was carried out at the Orleans Experimental Farm at the University of Palermo. In addition to the control standard substrate (a 70:30 mix by volume of peat and perlite), three substrates were tested, formed by varying percentage mixes of compost, peat and perlite. During the initial cultivation stage, chemical and physical analyses were carried out on the different substrates. Subsequently, morphometric data were collected in order to evaluate the plant orname…

Theory-Based Interventions Combining Mental Simulation and Planning Techniques to Improve Physical Activity: Null Results from Two Randomized Control…
2016
Interventions to assist individuals in initiating and maintaining regular participation in physical activity are not always effective. Psychological and behavioral theories advocate the importance of both motivation and volition in interventions to change health behavior. Interventions adopting self-regulation strategies that foster motivational and volitional components may, therefore, have utility in promoting regular physical activity participation. We tested the efficacy of an intervention adopting motivational (mental simulation) and volitional (implementation intentions) components to promote a regular physical activity in two studies. Study 1 adopted a cluster randomized design in wh…
Understanding physiological and physicochemical influences on in-mouth aroma release from yogurts using mechanistic modelling
2008
International audience; On the basis of a first mechanistic model predicting aroma release in the oropharynx during food consumption, the aim of the present work was to improve its accuracy and to use it to identify the main mechanisms responsible for in-mouth aroma release. Comparison between predicted release kinetics and the ones measured by APCI-MS in the nasal cavity of subjects eating flavoured yogurt highlighted the reasonably accurate time predictions of the relative aroma concentration in the nasal cavity and the model ability to simulate successive swallowing events as well as partial velopharyngeal closure. Parameters identified as the most influent for in-vivo aroma release were…
Kestävä kehitys -aiheisen projektityön vaikutus 8.-luokkalaisten ympäristöasenteisiin ja käyttäytymiseen
2017
Ihmisen ja luonnon hyvinvoinnin kannalta on tärkeää, että ihmiset oppivat elämään kestävän kehityksen periaatteiden mukaisesti. Nuorten asenteet ympäristöä kohtaan ovat myönteisiä, mutta asenteet eivät heijastu suoraan käyttäytymiseen. Ympäristökasvatuksen tavoitteena on mahdollistaa jokaiselle ihmiselle kestävään elämään tarvittavien tietojen, taitojen ja asenteiden omaksuminen. Kestävään elämäntapaan kuuluu yksilötason toiminta, kuten kulutustottumukset, sekä yhteiskunnallinen osallistuminen ja vaikuttaminen. Kestävän elämäntavan opetuksen tulisi sisältää oman lähiympäristön asioihin vaikuttamisen harjoittelemista omassa oppilaitoksessa sekä yhteistyössä muiden yhteiskunnan toimijoiden ka…
Understanding moderating effects in increasing share-of-wallet and word-of-mouth : A case study of Lidl grocery retailer
2018
This study examines how five moderating variables (the length of the customer relationship, following a company in print media and on social media, remembering online advertisements, and the customer’s age) affect the relationships between perceived value and loyalty and satisfaction and loyalty in the grocery retailing sector. A series of hypotheses were developed and tested with a sample of 2,072 discount retailer customers in Finland. The results support all the direct effects hypotheses and show that perceived value and satisfaction both have a positive effect on loyalty, measured as a share of wallet and word of mouth and that the effect of perceived value tends to be stronger in the s…
