How amniotic fluid shapes early odor-guided responses to colostrum and milk (and more)

2016

Revue; Among the multiple transitions that characterize mammalian development, birth certainly is the most abrupt and spectacular. It is also the most challenging for newborns when one considers their high mortality rates in any mammalian species. Although evolution has selected newborn organisms that possess the physiological and behavioral keys leading to adapt to this harsh psychobiological challenge, their capabilities cannot be considered separately from the maternal organism and the environment she creates. Mammalian females provide indeed passive (physiological) and/or active (behavioral) assistance to complement and boost their offspring’s capacities. One notable strategy of mammali…

2015 : « Le vouloir-dire et le silence des langues », dans Acta linguistica, Journal for Theoretical Linguistics, Banská Bystrica, Ekonomická fakulta…

2015

This paper deals with so-called “mind-saying” and “silence of languages”. These concepts mainly belong to cognitive linguistics and specifically to “linguistic neoteny” (theory of uncompleted speaker). Every human being develops a different cognitive relation with the languages he speaks. Nevertheless, those languages obligate him to accept cognitive restrictions to deal with quantity, quality and frequency of the formulations. The restrictions force the speaker to choose between the linguistic production (le dire) and the lack of linguistic production (le non-dire). In the first case, the enunciation is built with the units needed for the expression and the expressiveness of the language. …

Alpha frequency discrepancy and trait anxiety, activation, and inhibition in states of anxiety and mindfulness

2018

Meditaatiotekniikat tarjovat laajalti mahdollisuuksia hyvinvoinnin ylläpitämiseen ja kehittämiseen sekä stressin lievittämiseen. Useat neurotieteelliset tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet välittömiä tuloksia meditatitiivisten tekniikoiden soveltamisen ja aivojen oskillatoristen mekanismien välisessä suhteessa. Meditaatiolla on osoitettu olevan myös pitkäaikaisia vaikutuksia, joihin sisältyy ahdistuneisuuden ja murheen väheneminen. Keskittymistä tukevan aivokäyttöliittymän alustavan suunnittelun tueksi tutkittiin alpha-aallonpituuden käyttäytymistä ahdistuneisuuden ja mindfulnessin tiloissa ja niiden välisiä eroja lähestyttiin aktivaatio-/inhibitio -persoonallisuuspiirteiden sekä ahdistuneisuuteen…

Patterns of word reading skill, interest and self-concept of ability

2016

AbstractThe majority of previous research on academic skills, self-concept of ability and interest has deployed the variable-oriented approach and focused on self-concept, or ability, or interest only. This study examined the patterns and dynamics of pattern change in Finnish children’s word reading skill, self-concept of ability and interest from kindergarten to Grade 2. Six groups of children were identified by using the I-states as objects analysis (ISOA) procedure: (a) low skills, negative self-concept but high interest; (b) high skills but low interest; (c) average; (d) high skills, positive self-concept and high interest; (e) low skills, negative self-concept and low interest; and (f)…

How do gender, Internet activity and learning beliefs predict sixth-grade students’ self-efficacy beliefs in and attitudes towards online inquiry?

2021

Today’s students search, evaluate and actively use Web information in their school assignments, that is, they conduct an online inquiry. This current survey study addresses sixth-grade students’ self-efficacy beliefs in and attitudes towards online inquiry, and to what extent free-time and school-related Internet activity, gender and learning beliefs explain these. The questionnaire was administered in 10 schools to 340 sixth-graders in Finland. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed three elements of self-efficacy beliefs: self-efficacy in Web searching, the evaluation of sources and synthesising information. Furthermore, attitudes towards online inquiry loaded into two fact…

Investigating teachers’ dyadic self-efficacy and its correlations to students’ perceptions of teacher efficacy and student well-being

2022

Most studies, to date, have ignored variance in teachers’ self-efficacy (TSE) in relation to teaching individual students (i.e., student-specific self-efficacy). However, TSE and teacher efficacy differ among students. Thus, this study examines dyadic TSE in four domains and their correlations with students’ perceptions of teacher efficacy and student academic self-concept and well-being. Results of a paper–pencil survey involving 29 teachers and 469 students (39.9% girls, aged 10–17 years) from German secondary schools reveal a moderate overlap between dyadic TSE and students’ perceptions of teacher efficacy. Furthermore, they reveal variance in how teachers’ and students’ ratings are rela…

Minéralité du vin : Une réalité sensorielle?

2011

National audience; Il y a environ deux ans le professeur Raymond Silvestre faisait remarquer, dans cette même revue, une augmentation sensible dans l’utilisation du terme « minéral » ou encore « minéralité » pour décrire le vin dans la presse spécialisée, les guides et par les producteurs eux-mêmes. D’autres professionnels du vin, y compris dans le monde anglo-saxon, ont également remarqué cette tendance, à tel point que certains suggèrent la possibilité d’une utilisation abusive de ce terme (Easton, 2009). En effet, la minéralité semble être à la mode et est systématiquement associée à la qualité, l’originalité et l’authenticité, en particulier pour les vins blancs de climat septentrional.…

Social mirrors. Tove Jansson’sInvisibleChildand the importance of being seen

2016

ABSTRACTThis article examines the experience of being seen and analyzes its central role in the formation of a coherent sense of self. Tove Jansson’s short story from 1962, ‘The Invisible Child’, serves as the red thread of the article, and the story is analyzed in the light of Donald Winnicott’s work on social mirroring. The analysis is enriched by the psychoanalytic insights of Veikko Tahka and Heinz Kohut, and complemented by Axel Honneth’s philosophical elaborations as well as by recent developmental findings as presented by Vasudevi Reddy. The article is divided into an introduction and three sections. After summarizing Jansson’s story in the introduction, the first section elaborates …

Approximators and mitigators in Chilean Spanish: the case of 'como' and 'como que'

2019

espanolEn el presente trabajo se realiza un analisis del uso de los aproximadores como y como que en el espanol de Chile y la vinculacion de su valor semantico aproximador con la atenuacion pragmatica.

Asi, el objetivo es analizar la relacion que existe entre la aproximacion semantica y la atenuacion pragmatica por medio d…
