Public responses to intimate partner violence against women: the influence of perceived severity and personal responsibility.
2009
This paper explored public willingness to act when exposed to cases of intimate partner violence against women, by analyzing the influence of perceived severity and personal responsibility on two types of responses: mediating and reporting to the police. Results (N = 419) yielded main effects of personal responsibility for both types of responses. No main effects of perceived severity were found. A significant interaction between perceived severity and personal responsibility was found only for reporting responses. Results are discussed in light of the helping behavior research tradition. Implications for public education and advocacy programs are also considered. Marisol.lila@uv.es; Enriqu…
La educación auditiva como eje vertebrador de la educación musical en la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria
2013
El presente trabajo se enmarca dentro de un estudio de mayores dimensiones motivado por el interés de los autores en la didáctica de la audición musical, convencidos de que los principios fundamentales sobre los que se debería apoyar la educación musical actualmente en la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria son, por una parte, la necesidad de una mayor contribución de la misma a una educación integradora de todas las dimensiones del ser humano, y por otra, la conveniencia de otorgarle un mayor protagonismo a la educación auditiva en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la materia de música en dicha etapa educativa. El propósito es dar respuesta a una serie de interrogantes que surgen en torn…
Algunas reflexiones sobre la percepción del cambio climático en una muestra de población adulta de nivel cultural medio
1994
El cambio climático es uno de los aspectos del Medio Ambiente que mayor eco social ha alcanzado en los últimos años. El tema ha trascendido de los centros de investigación a la opinión pública de manera distorsionada, debido, en gran parte, a medios de comunicación poco rigurosos. Este trabajo reflexiona sobre la percepción del fenómeno por parte de una muestra de población adulta de nivel cultural medio, que da por sentado un cambio climático importante, producido en los últimos años por el hombre y que ha originado la mayor parte de catástrofes naturales de tipo hidrometeorológico. Esta imagen catastrofista contrasta con la indeterminación que muestra la comunidad científica, que pone de …
OMNI-DRL: Learning to Fly in Forests with Omnidirectional Images
2022
Perception is crucial for drone obstacle avoidance in complex, static, and unstructured outdoor environments. However, most navigation solutions based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) use limited Field-Of-View (FOV) images as input. In this paper, we demonstrate that omnidirectional images improve these methods. Thus, we provide a comparative benchmark of several visual modalities for navigation: ground truth depth, ground truth semantic segmentation, and RGB images. These exhaustive comparisons reveal that it is superior to use an omnidirectional camera to navigate with classical DRL methods. Finally, we show in two different virtual forest environments that adapting the convolution to…

Behavioral and physiological bases of relaxing and stimulating effects of odors and music
2021
This doctoral thesis examines the psychological and physiological mechanisms as well as the factors involved in the relaxing and stimulating effect (emotional activation) of pleasant odors, building on research work from the music domain. In Studies 1a and 1b, we observed that the modulation of the activation induced by odors influenced temporal information processing by speeding-up or slowing-down the rate of the internal clock pacemaker, similarly to what was previously reported using musicalstimuli. Moreover, prior verbalsuggestion attributing incongruent activation properties to the odors eliminated these effects, highlighting the importance of a priori expectancies on olfactory-induced…
Towards The Adoption of a Perception-Driven Perspective in the Design of Complex Robotic Systems
2009
Awareness and autonomous interaction with the environment in a robotic system is the base of the new discipline of machine consciousness. In this paper we present the results of a first attempt in order to engineer these robotic systems by applying a Situational Method Engineering approach that extends PASSI and to create a model for conscious systems.
The effects of mental fatigue on sport-related performance
2018
International audience; Mental fatigue is known to increase subjective feelings of fatigue and to decrease cognitive performance, but its impact on physical performance remains poorly understood. The aim of this chapter was to review the results of 29 studies published between 2009 and April 2018 and focusing on the impact of mental fatigue on sport-related performance. Taken all studies together, it appears that mental fatigue impairs endurance performance, motor skills performance and decision-making performance. However, maximal force production is not reduced in the presence of mental fatigue. These observations suggest that mental fatigue impairs sport-related performance during exerci…
La fatigue mentale : marqueurs électrophysiologiques et stratégies de compensation
2021
Mental fatigue is a common phenomenon in modern society, causing an alteration in both cognitive and physical performances. It can lead to an increased risk of accidents, a drop in productivity, and certain disorders such as depression. The objective of this thesis work was to study this phenomenon of mental fatigue by investigating more specifically its electrophysiological markers, and to find compensatory strategies to limit and/or avoid its deleterious effects.The first study identified brain activity modulations during a prolonged modified Stroop task. An increase in theta and alpha waves, as well as a decrease in N100 and P300 amplitude reflecting a decrease in attention were observed…
