Ecology of yeasts associated with kernels of several durum wheat genotypes and their role in co-culture with Saccharomyces cerevisiae during dough le…
2021
International audience; This work was performed to investigate on the yeast ecology of durum wheat to evaluate the interaction between kernel yeasts and the commercial baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during dough leavening. Yeast populations were studied in 39 genotypes of durum wheat cultivated in Sicily. The highest level of kernel yeasts was 2.9 Log CFU/g. A total of 413 isolates was collected and subjected to phenotypic and genotypic characterization. Twenty-three yeast species belonging to 11 genera have been identified. Filobasidium oeirense, Sporobolomyces roseus and Aureobasidium pullulans were the species most commonly found in durum wheat kernels. Doughs were co-inoculated …
New ECCO model documents for Material Deposit and Transfer Agreements in compliance with the Nagoya Protocol
2020
The European Culture Collections Organisation presents two new model documents for Material Deposit Agreement (MDA) and Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) designed to enable microbial culture collection leaders to draft appropriate agreement documents for, respectively, deposit and supply of materials from a public collection. These tools provide guidance to collections seeking to draft an MDA and MTA, and are available in open access to be used, modified, and shared. The MDA model consists of a set of core fields typically included in a deposit form to collect relevant information to facilitate assessment of the status of the material under access and benefit sharing (ABS) legislation. It a…
Un diritto per l'Europa industriale. Cultura giuridica ed economia dalla Rivoluzione francese al Secondo Dopoguerra.
2016
Nel 1807 la Francia di Napoleone raccoglieva nel primo Codice di commercio della storia i motivi salienti della cultura giuridica del tempo, e più specificamente quegli aspetti che, emersi nel decennio rivoluzionario, erano usciti indenni dalla “restaurazione” d’inizio secolo: eguaglianza giuridica formale, unicità del soggetto di diritto, prospettiva individualistica, egemonia del diritto di proprietà. Nel corso del XIX secolo la cultura giuridica avrebbe cercato di rielaborare gli schemi ordinanti della codificazione napoleonica, ricalcandone però nel complesso le linee ideologiche e l’impianto concettuale. Diritto ed economia viaggiavano a doppia velocità: sullo sfondo di un’Europa avvia…
Semantic and action tool knowledge in the brain: Identifying common and distinct networks.
2021
Most cognitive models of apraxia assume that impaired tool use results from a deficit occurring at the conceptual level, which contains dedicated information about tool use, namely, semantic and action tool knowledge. Semantic tool knowledge contains information about the prototypical use of familiar tools, such as function (e.g., a hammer and a mallet share the same purpose) and associative relations (e.g., a hammer goes with a nail). Action tool knowledge contains information about how to manipulate tools, such as hand posture and kinematics. The present review aimed to better understand the neural correlates of action and semantic tool knowledge, by focusing on activation, stimulation an…
Right-handers and left-handers have different representations of their own hand
1998
The visual control of our own hand when dealing with an object and the observation of interactions between other people's hand and objects can be involved in the construction of internal representations of our own hand, as well as in hand recognition processes. Therefore, a different effect on handedness recognition is expected when subjects are presented with hands holding objects with either a congruent or an incongruent type of grip. Such an experiment was carried out on right-handed and left-handed subjects. We expected that the different degree of lateralisation in motor activities observed in the two populations [J. Herron, Neuropsychology of left- handedness, Academic Press, New York…
Analysis of the written handover process during shift changes within the hospital
2008
This study assesses the ergonomic quality of a new writing format used for the written transmission of activity during a nurse’s handover in a hospital. This format called “targeted or focussed transmission” comes from a new prescription of hospital management designed to improve the written handover process. Our research focused on the information filtering process for each patient concerned by a shift handover. A three step methodology was designed, with the participation of 9 nurses in charge of 70 patients : (1) nursing work analysis before the handover, (2) oral handover analysis, (3) written handover analysis. Results show that the new writing format does not match the nurses’ needs t…
Smart Phone, Smart Science: How the Use of Smartphones Can Revolutionize Research in Cognitive Science
2011
WOS:000295936900019; International audience; Investigating human cognitive faculties such as language, attention, and memory most often relies on testing small and homogeneous groups of volunteers coming to research facilities where they are asked to participate in behavioral experiments. We show that this limitation and sampling bias can be overcome by using smartphone technology to collect data in cognitive science experiments from thousands of subjects from all over the world. This mass coordinated use of smartphones creates a novel and powerful scientific "instrument" that yields the data necessary to test universal theories of cognition. This increase in power represents a potential re…
: une évaluation des perceptions des enseignants
2017
International audience; Le discours des experts et des organisations internationales, de même que les initiatives des politiques et mouvements en faveur de l'émancipation des personnes handicapées sont orientés vers la construction d'une école pour tous (Ainscow et al., 2003 ; Déclaration de Salamanque, 1994 ; Conférence de Dakar, 2000 ; Convention relative aux droits des personnes handicapées, 2006). L'inclusion scolaire implique des modifications et des bouleversements tant dans les pratiques enseignantes que sur le plan de l'organisation scolaire dans son ensemble. Il importe de s'intéresser aux perceptions des enseignants envers la politique nationale visant l'inclusion à l'école ordina…
Monitoring the Internal and External Loads of Young Team Handball Players during Competition
2021
This study aimed to examine the internal- and external-training-load (ITL and ETL, respectively) during a match of young handball players. Field testing included heart-rate monitoring (memory belt, Suunto) as a marker of ITL and accelerometry (motion-biosensor, Actical Respironcis, Philips) as a marker of ETL. Time motion analysis data were obtained by recording the player’s game activities and later analysed with the Matlab software package. T-test and Pearson-product-moment correlation coefficient were used to examine the differences and the relationship between variables collected in the study. The t-test analysis did not show significant differences between the total distance covered (2…
Arte Textil y tradición en la Provincia de Catamarca, Noroeste Argentino
2019
espanolLas tradiciones textiles en la Provincia de Catamarca, constituyen parte de una identidad cultural conformada a partir de elementos muy pujantes provenientes de distinto origen. Estos se traslucen tanto en estilos y tecnicas de piezas de exquisita estetica y calidad. Evidencian ademas, la historia de las industrias y manufacturas textiles que aportaron al desarrollo de esta actividad, considerada por sus habitantes como parte de su idiosincracia que -lamentablemente- con los anos tiende a desaparecer. EnglishThe textile traditions in the province of Catamarca, are part of a cultural identity formed from very vigorous elements from different origins. These are permeated both styles an…
