Orosensory Perception of Dietary Lipids in Mammals
2008
Obesity constitutes a major public health problem for the twenty-first century, with its epidemic spread worldwide, particularly in children. The overconsumption of fatty foods greatly contributes to this phenomenon. Rodents and humans display a spontaneous preference for lipid-rich foods. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this pattern of eating behaviour in mammals remain unclear. The orosensory perception of dietary lipids was long thought to involve only textural and olfactory cues. Recent findings challenge this limited viewpoint, strongly suggesting that the sense of taste also plays a significant role in dietary lipid perception and might therefore be involved in the prefer…
A cross-cultural study using Napping (R): Do Korean and French consumers perceive various green tea products differently?
2013
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/foodres ; WOS:000323239400065; International audience; With the increasing demands of global trading, interests in cross-cultural comparisons have increased to gain understanding in the differences of sensory perception and consumer acceptability. The objective of this study was to compare the differences in perception by Korean and French consumers of green tea produced in Korea, China, and Japan, using Napping (R) followed by ultra flash profile. In addition, overall acceptability was examined in both countries. The results of Napping (R) showed that the Korean consumers were able to discriminate the green teas according to their origins and processing metho…
The influence of backslopping on lactic acid bacteria diversity in tarhana fermentation
2020
Tarhana is produced at batch systems in which the microbiota has changed accordingly to the microbial load from ingredients. In order to stabilize the microbiota, the effects of backslopping carried out under different temperature regimes (25 and 30 °C), pH (3.70 and 4.00) and inoculation rates (5, 10 and 15%) on lactic acid bacteria (LAB) diversity were determined in tarhana dough. LAB and Total Aerobic Mesophilic Bacteria (TAMB) numbers increased in all tarhana dough samples subjected to backslopping. Temperature and pH significantly affected the microbiological diversity of tarhana whereas the different inoculation rates did not. Tarhana dough showed complex tarhana microbiota following …
Acoustic detection of neutrinos in bedrock
2019
We propose to utilize bedrock as a medium for acoustic detection of particle showers following interactions of ultra-high energy neutrinos. With the density of rock three-times larger and the speed of sound four-times larger compared to water, the amplitude of the generated bipolar pressure pulse in rock should be larger by an order of magnitude. Our preliminary simulations confirm that prediction. Higher density of rock also guarantees higher interaction rate for neutrinos. A noticeably longer attenuation length in rock reduces signal dissipation. The Pyh\"asalmi mine has a unique infrastructure and rock conditions to test this idea and, if successful, extend it to a full-size experiment.
Impact of climate, soil properties and grassland cover on soil water repellency
2021
Abstract Numerous soil water repellency (SWR) studies have investigated the possible causes of this temporal phenomenon, yet there remains a lack of knowledge on the order of importance of the main driving forces of SWR in the context of changing environmental conditions under grassland ecosystems. To study the separate and combined effects of soil texture, climate, and grassland cover type on inducing or altering SWR, four sites from different climatic and soil regions were selected: Ciavolo (CI, IT), Csolyospalos (CSP, HU), Pwllpeiran (PW, UK), Sekule (SE, SK). The investigated parameters were the extent (determined by repellency indices RI, RIc and RIm) and persistence (determined by wat…
A boundary condition for arbitrary shaped inlets in lattice-Boltzmann simulations
2009
We introduce a mass-flux-based inlet boundary condition for the lattice-Boltzmann method. The proposed boundary condition requires minimal amount of boundary data, it produces a steady-state velocity field which is accurate close to the inlet even for arbitrary inlet geometries, and yet it is simple to implement. We demonstrate its capability for both simple and complex inlet geometries by numerical experiments. For simple inlet geometries, we show that the boundary condition provides very accurate inlet velocities when Re less than or similar to 1. Even with moderate Reynolds number, the inlet velocities are accurate for practical purposes. Furthermore, the potential of our boundary condit…
Pacientu apmierinātība ar medicīnas personāla informācijas sniegšanu par pirms un pēc operācijas periodu ginekoloģijas nodaļā
2018
Maģistra darba tēma ir “Pacientu apmierinātība ar medicīnas personāla informācijas sniegšanu par pirms un pēc operācijas periodu ginekoloģijas nodaļā”. Pacientu apmierinātību ar medicīnas personālu nosaka sniegtās informācijas apjoms, kvalitāte un saskarsmes veidi ar pacientu, tas viss motivē pacientu iesaistīties ārstēšanas procesā un ātrāk atveseļoties. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot pacientu apmierinātību ar medicīnas personāla informācijas sniegšanu par pirms un pēc operācijas periodu ginekoloģijas nodaļā. Darba uzdevumi: analizēt zinātnisko literatūru par pacientu apmierinātību ar medicīnas personāla sniegto informāciju par pirms un pēc operācijas periodu ginekoloģijas nodaļā; analizēt Bet…
Fostering sustained teacher learning: a longitudinal assessment of the influence of vision building and goal interdependence on information sharing
2020
To support school improvement, understanding the mechanisms that enhance teachers’ engagement in professional learning activities within schools over time is paramount. The purpose of this three-wave longitudinal study is to examine the role of workplace conditions (school leaders’ vision building and teams’ shared goals), in supporting teachers’ engagement in information sharing over time. To test the directionality of the relationships between the concepts, we analyzed survey data from 655 vocational education and training teachers in the Netherlands using a cross-lagged panel model. Results suggest that teachers’ engagement in information sharing remains stable over time, and the results…
Kriminālatbildība par neslavas celšanu
2020
Tiesības uz vārda brīvību ir uzskatāmas par vienām no fundamentālajām cilvēka pamattiesībām. Var rasties situācijas, kad tiesības uz vārda brīvību nonāk kolīzijā ar citām cilvēku pamattiesībām. Tādos gadījumos likumdevējam ir jāparedz tāds tiesiskais regulējums, kas spēj efektīvi un taisnīgi atrisināt pamattiesību kolīziju. Viens no tādiem tiesiskajiem regulējumiem ir paredzēts Latvijas Republikas Krimināllikuma 157. pantā, kas paredz atbildību par neslavas celšanu. Straujas tehnoloģiskās attīstības rezultātā, mūsdienās ir pieejams milzīgs klāsts ar līdzekļiem, kurus var izmantot komunikācijai un informācijas izplatīšanai. Komunikācijai paredzēto līdzekļu daudzveidība noved pie tā, ka nesla…
Kapitālsabiedrību reputācijas tiesiskās aizsardzības problemātika/aspekti.
2020
Kapitālsabiedrība ir tiesisks instruments, ar kura palīdzību fiziskas vai juridiskas personas veic uzņēmējdarbību, kuras mērķis ir nest peļņu vai pildīt sabiedrībai vai dalībniekiem vai akcionāriem citu svarīgu funkciju. Juridiskai personai nepiemīt personība un jūtas kā cilvēkam, kuraam tās varētu aizskart, tomēr kapitālsabiedrības ir cilvēktiesību subjects. Kapitālsabiedrībai ir tiesības uz reputācijas neaizskaramību. Ņemot vērā Kapitālsabiedrības īpatnības, šī darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādā apjomā juridiskai persona piemīt tiesības uz reputācijas neaizskaramību un salīdzināt regulējumu juridiskām personām ar tiesībām uz godu un cieņu fiziskām personām. Ceļā uz šī mērķa sasniegšanu, jās…
