Effects of Food Label Health and Nutrition Claims on Consumer Perceptions
2009
Two experiments are reported that examined consumers' perceptions of food package labels where health and nutrition claims were present and where they had been removed. Unlike previous studies examining the influence of information on perception, realistic materials were used. This was accomplished by presenting information on a computer as photo-realistic images of packages where claims had been removed by editing to give a without-claims condition. Automatic presentation of materials and data collection meant participants proceeded through the computer questionnaire without the presence of an experimenter. The experiment was conducted with both British and French consumers. No significant…
« Nez et langues électroniques » : bilan et perspectives pour les huiles alimentaires
2003
Le « Nez electronique », et plus recemment la « Langue electronique » ont ete fort mediatises durant la derniere decennie. Aussi est-il necessaire, avec le recul, de faire le point sur les benefices que ces technologies peuvent apporter dans le domaine des produits alimentaires, et en particulier pour huiles vegetales. On trouve une litterature relativement abondante dans ce domaine, mais les applications qui ont reussi a franchir le cap de l’utilisation industrielle sont extremement restreintes. S’agit-il d’une frilosite des industriels pour des investissements de controle-qualite ou d’un manque de fiabilite des resultats de laboratoire ? Pourtant, la demande en outils rapides de controle-…
Mapping effective connectivity between the frontal and contralateral primary motor cortex using dual-coil transcranial magnetic stimulation
2019
AbstractCytoarchitectonic, anatomical and electrophysiological studies have divided the frontal cortex into distinct functional subdivisions. Many of these subdivisions are anatomically connected with the contralateral primary motor cortex (M1); however, effective neurophysiological connectivity between these regions is not well defined in humans. Therefore, we aimed to use dual-coil transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to map, with high spatial resolution, the effective connectivity between different frontal regions of the right hemisphere and contralateral M1 (cM1). TMS was applied over the left M1 alone (test pulse) or after a conditioning pulse was applied to different grid points co…
MAGA: A Supervised Method to Detect Motifs From Annotated Groups in Alignments
2020
Multiple sequence alignments are usually phylogenetically driven. They are studied in the framework of evolution. But sometimes, it is interesting to study residue conservation at positions unconstrained by evolutionary rules. We present a supervised method to access a layer of information difficult to appreciate visually when many protein sequences are aligned. This new tool (MAGA; http://cbdm-01.zdv.uni-mainz.de/~munoz/maga/ ) locates positions in multiple sequence alignments differentially conserved in manually defined groups of sequences.
Evaluación participativa del territorio con enfoque de equidad: adaptación y validación de la Place Standard al contexto español
2022
OBJECTIVE Translation and cross-cultural adaptation to the Spanish context of the Place Standard tool to undertake participatory evaluations in place-based communities. METHOD A back-translation method was used to obtain an adapted version of the original Place Standard tool. The translated version was reviewed by a multidisciplinary committee of experts and validated using the Delphi method. RESULTS The final version of the adapted Place Standards tool (Entornos de Vida in Spanish) consists of 14 dimensions and 99 items. 21% of the items presented semantic difficulties during the translation. Total consensus through the Delphi panel was reached on 72% of the items. The analysis resulted in…
Adolescents’ physical, emotional and social balance: a concept of pedagogical assistance and social rehabilitation
2017
The paper summarizes research findings from two scientific fields (pedagogical and medical), which confirm that there are substantial discrepancies in an individuals’ biological, psychological and social development in the period of adolescence leading to a developmental imbalance mainly related to learning. The article offers for discussion a possible conceptual approach and practice-grounded changes of pedagogical provisions to improve teenagers’ physical, psycho-emotional balance and social rehabilitation culminating in overall well-being.
Que disent les locutions : de, devant, et, en tant que, entre... ?
2011
Comme tous les termes d’une langue, les concepts philosophiques n’ont de sens que par leur relation à l’ensemble de la conceptualité à laquelle ils appartiennent. Mais cela signifie que la relation entre les concepts n’est pas moins essentielle que ces derniers. Et c’est cette relation que disent les éléments du langage que l’on appelle communément des particules de liaison comme de, et, après…, en dehors desquelles la parole serait pure nomination. Seulement, poser l’égale importance de ces ...
La cosmicité de l’existence : entre Patocka et Minkowski
2019
La convergence de deux dimensions des pensées de Patočka et de Minkowski en direction d’une phénoménologie non-égologique de la vie permet d’envisager la possibilité non tant d’une « comparaison » qui conduit bien souvent à juxtaposer des pensées de façon assez stérile, mais de lire Patočka à partir de Minkowski et inversement. S’ils se sont tous deux recommandés d’une phénoménologie dont le sens est assez différent, ils ont tous deux invité à reconnaître, plus, à interroger le caractère mouv...
Motivations for Business Start-up: Are There any Differences Between Disabled and Non-disabled Microfinance Clients?
2015
We use an Ecuadorian sample to investigate if there are differences in motivations for business start-up between persons with and without disabilities. Generally, we do not document significant differences. The reason might be that we use a sample selected among customers of the microfinance bank Banco D-MIRO. Without targeted incentives, disabled microfinance customers must resemble non-disabled customers. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Children with Down syndrome in Finland and Italy: comparing adaptive behavior and services
2016
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare a sample of Italian (n = 29) and Finnish children (n = 32) with Down syndrome for possible differences emerging from diverse educational surroundings. Besides the level of adaptive and challenging behaviors, some other issues were compared, including teacher satisfaction. Methods: We used the children’s teachers as informants. They were interviewed using standardized scales. Results: No differences in adaptive behavior or challenging behavior were observed between the samples. All children from the Italian sample were fully included in mainstream classes, while in the Finnish sample, 92% of all the school years were spent in self-contained sp…
