A method to optimize a typology-based classification system
2014
This study sought to provide guidelines for implementing typology-based qualitative analysis of human movement patterns.Fifteen participant-analysts were instructed how to classify treading water behaviours into eight different categories using a training set of videos. They were later provided with two additional sets of videos called validation, and test sets. Results first identified reliable (n=9), and not reliable (n=6) analysts. A decision study outlined that one analyst was sufficient to reliably categorize the behaviours in the ‘reliable’ analyst group, whereas up to four were necessary in the ‘unreliable’ group. These data provided new insights into more objective qualitative analy…
Espacios de inclusión e implicaciones educativas entre escuela, museo y universidad. Análisis desde la investigación-acción.
2015
La presente investigación plantea herramientas para proporcionar, valorar y coordinar un diálogo entre la educación formal y la no formal, rompiendo barreras y generando vínculos, con sus protagonistas, sus responsables y sus usuarios. Fundamentar, narrar, investigar, ordenar e interpretar el amplio espectro de las relaciones entre el museo, la universidad y las escuelas en el ámbito de la educación, son las tareas fundamentales a realizar. No se trata únicamente de una investigación educativa, la propuesta conlleva una estrategia de impulso pedagógico. Identificar las formas de inserción de las visitas escolares es necesario para construir la plataforma que contribuya a la formación de un …
Barnet som aktør og kunnskapsbærer – en utfordring for barnevernets profesjonelle ekspertise
2010
Author's version of an article published in the journal: Norges Barnevern. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/tnb/2010/03/art04 During recent years, it has become more and more common to consider children as competent participants in their own lives, also in the child protective services. This agrees with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and more recent research on children and childhood. That is to say that the child is seen as the expert on his own life, at the same time as the child protective services with their professional expertise have competence to say what is best for children. What does this imply and how can we understand the relation betwee…
Valeurs de référence du valproate de sodium (CAS n°1069-66-5). Valeurs toxicologiques de référence par voie orale et inhalation, valeurs limites d’ex…
2021
Le site de Sanofi situé à Mourenx, dans le bassin industriel de Lacq (64), produit un médicament antiépileptique, la Dépakine®, dont le principe actif est le valproate de sodium (VPS). Ce site est une installation classée pour la protection de l’environnement (ICPE) soumise à autorisation au titre de l’article L.511-1 et suivants du Code de l’environnement. Les rejets dans l’environnement d’une telle installation sont encadrés par des limites établies sur la base d’une évaluation quantitative des risques sanitaires (EQRS). En 2017, Sanofi Chimie a réalisé une évaluation de l’impact sur la santé et l’environnement des rejets atmosphériques de valproate, en utilisant des valeurs toxicologique…
Human Simulation and Sustainability : Ontological, Epistemological, and Ethical Reflections
2020
This article begins with a brief outline of recent advances in the application of computer modeling to sustainability research, identifying important gaps in coverage and associated limits in methodological capability, particularly in regard to taking account of the tangled human factors that are often impediments to a sustainable future. It then describes some of the ways in which a new transdisciplinary approach within &ldquo
Professionals’ views on children’s service user involvement
2021
Purpose Children are gradually attaining recognition as service users and their involvement in service development has been advanced in recent years. This study draws on empirical research in social and health-care services designed for children and families. The purpose of this paper is to analyse how professionals understand children’s involvement as experts by experience. The focus is on professionals’ views and intergenerational relations. Design/methodology/approach The research data comprise 25 individual and 10 group interviews with managers and professionals working in social and health-care services in one Finnish province. The data were analysed using qualitative thematic analysi…
Sensory and chemical drivers of wine minerality aroma: An application to Chablis wines
2017
The goal of this work was to evaluate the effect of vineyard position on the minerality of wines and to establish relationships between minerality scores, sensory descriptors and chemical composition. Sensory analyses included minerality rating and free description performed by wine professionals under two conditions: orthonasal olfaction alone and global tasting. Chemical characterization included analysis of major and minor volatile compounds, volatile sulphur compounds, mercaptans, metals, anions and cations. Results showed a significant effect of the river bank on wine minerality scores only in the orthonasal olfaction condition, samples from the left being more mineral than those from …
The Chardonnay wine olfactory concept revisited: A stable core of volatile compounds, and fuzzy boundaries
2011
Abstract An earlier study by the same team showed that Chardonnay wines have common olfactory properties by which wine experts can recognize them. The specific Chardonnay olfactory space was also tentatively linked to the relative concentrations of 29 volatile compounds, regarded as possible aroma-impact compounds. The question now is whether or not those initial results hold independently of the sample under consideration, that is, whether these sensory and chemical spaces are vintage-specific. A series of investigations was conducted on a new set of 46 wines (23 Chardonnay wines and 23 non Chardonnay wines) using the same sensory (wine typicality level) and physico-chemical (Gas Chromatog…
Semantic and perceptive organisation of Sauvignon blanc wine characteristics: Influence of Expertise.
2011
Abstract The influence of expertise on hierarchical organisation of knowledge about Sauvignon blanc wine sensory properties was investigated. Sixteen wine professionals (‘experts’) and 16 wine consumers in New Zealand organised 67 experimenter-provided descriptors of Sauvignon blanc wine by building an hierarchical tree with the sensory properties (see Urdapilleta, Giboreau, Manetta, Houix, & Richard, 2006 ). Each participant organised the Sauvignon blanc sensory properties under two conditions, a Semantic condition (memory-based) and a Perceptive condition (experiential). The Perceptive condition followed the Semantic condition and involved participants tasting three Sauvignon blanc wines,…
Assessment and Intervention with Wii Fit in the Elderly
2015
Nowadays, the number of elderly people is constantly increasing, and the prospective is that this collective will continue to grow in the future. As aging is a process that implies many changes and consequences for the person, it is important to focus the research on the improvement of the quality of life of this increasing age group. Psychologists dedicate a great amount of time to design programs that improve the health of the elderly, and that includes gathering information and statistically analyze it to interpret and provide recommendations for an improved design. Expert systems are a good solution to reduce the amount of work that these professionals have to dedicate, automatizing tas…
