Geometrinen hahmottaminen sosiaalisena, vuorovaikutteisena ja kehollisena toimintana
2022
Matematiikan ja luonnontieteiden oppimista käsittelevässä tutkimuksessa on viime aikoina korostettu kehon, kognition ja vuorovaikutuksen läheistä yhteyttä. Tässä artikkelissa pohdimme, millä tavoin geometrinen hahmottaminen on sosiaalista, vuorovaikutteista ja materiaalien välittämää kehollista toimintaa. Tarkastelemme eräässä kouluajan ulkopuolella järjestetyssä STEAM-työpajassa kerättyä videoaineistoa keskustelunanalyysin menetelmin. Työpajassa alakouluikäiset oppilaat saivat tehtäväkseen koota pareittain jalkapallon geometrisen representaation 4DFrame-rakennussarjan muoviputkista ja -kiinnikkeistä. Tapaustutkimuksemme osoittaa, miten tämän kaltaisen ohjatun rakennustehtävän aikana katse,…
Anticipatory postural adjustments during joint action coordination
2019
International audience; There is a current claim that humans are able to effortlessly detect others’ hidden mental state by simply observing their movements and transforming the visual input into motor knowledge to predict behaviour. Using a classical paradigm quantifying motor predictions, we tested the role of vision feedback during a reach and load-lifting task performed either alone or with the help of a partner. Wrist flexor and extensor muscle activities were recorded on the supporting hand. Early muscle changes preventing limb instabilities when participants performed the task by themselves revealed the contribution of the visual input in postural anticipation. When the partner perfo…
Le paraître et la parure. Corporéité et animalité chez Merleau-Ponty et Deleuze
2013
This chapter presents an overview on the corporeality and animality in Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze. Ontological dimension of perception was particularly highlighted in the Phenomenology of Perception and this work will deepen considerably even in the visible and invisible by the introduction of theme of the flesh as "depth" and "being latency". Merleau-Ponty draws indeed fundamental philosophical conclusions about the structures of the Environment. Merleau-Ponty discusses the descriptive material assets and perceptual behavior of animals in their own environment, not in the laboratory. It is therefore a radical mistake to pretend to judge of animality in terms of theoretical knowledge. The in…
Counterbalancing salt reduction with aromas and consequences on sensory acceptability: A study with real cheese
2014
Introduction and objective: Unbalanced diet with an overconsumption of salt contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease. Several strategies are currently investigated to design low-salt food while maintaining taste and consumer liking. The strategy relying on cross-modal sensory compensation is being tested within the framework of the EU-TeRiFiQ research project. In this context, this study had for aim to examine whether selected aromas could help to maintain salt and fat perception in low-salt real cheese. Methods: Two commercial cheeses, low-salt cheese (LSC) and regular-salt cheese (RSC), were reprocessed by grinding and addition of a sardine aroma associated to salty taste …
Universal Patterns in Color-Emotion Associations Are Further Shaped by Linguistic and Geographic Proximity
2020
Many of us “see red,” “feel blue,” or “turn green with envy.” Are such color-emotion associations fundamental to our shared cognitive architecture, or are they cultural creations learned through our languages and traditions? To answer these questions, we tested emotional associations of colors in 4,598 participants from 30 nations speaking 22 native languages. Participants associated 20 emotion concepts with 12 color terms. Pattern-similarity analyses revealed universal color-emotion associations (average similarity coefficient r = .88). However, local differences were also apparent. A machine-learning algorithm revealed that nation predicted color-emotion associations above and beyond tho…
Trabajo y TIC en los mayores de 45 años. Un análisis de la introducción al ciberespacio desde la esfera laboral
2018
The inequality in access to cyberspace due to age at the beginning of the twenty-first century was followed by an economic crisis that intensified many socio-labor dynamics. Through a contextualization with INE data and a qualitative sample, the following work tries to capture the attitudes about ICT related to their previous labor trajectories on those over 45 years of age; and, on the other hand, its introduction to cyberspace from work as a conditioner in the perception of crisis, the maintenance of employment or their way out to retirement.
Students' school‐level symptoms mediate the relationship between a school's observed moisture problems and students’ subjective perceptions of indoor…
2020
Moisture damage can influence the subjective assessment of indoor air quality (subjective IAQ) in various ways. We studied whether the frequency of symptoms reported across students at school level mediates the relationship between observed mold and dampness in a school building and students' subjective IAQ. To answer this research question, we tested a multilevel path model. The analyzed data were created by merging two nationwide data sets: (a) survey data from students, including information on subjective IAQ (N = 24,786 students); (b) data from schools, including information on mold and dampness in a school building (N = 222). After the background variables were adjusted, schools' obser…
Computational Modeling of Human Visual Function using Psychophysics, Deep Neural Networks, and Information Theory
2023
Visual perception is a key to unlocking the secrets of brain functions because most of the information is processed through the early visual system and then transmitted to the high-level cognitive perception brain regions. The brain functions as a self-organizing, bio-dynamic, and chaotic system that receives outside information and then decomposes it into pieces of information that can be processed efficiently and independently. The work connects natural image statistics, psychophysics, deep neural networks, and information theory to perceptual vision systems to explore how vision processes information from the outside world and how the information coupled drives functional connectivity be…
Mucormycosis infection associated with global COVID-19 pandemic - an institutional histopathological study
2023
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the recent times have instilled signs of immunosuppression globally which has further precipitated increasing range of opportunistic infections. Mucormycosis is a distressing opportunistic fungal infection with a high incidence and is the third commonest acute invasive infection following candidiasis and aspergillosis. The aim of the present observational study is to delineate the enigmatic histopathological profile between mucormycosis cases seen prior to pandemic (PPM) and pandemic associated mucormycosis (PAM). Tissue archives of 105 histopathologically diagnosed cases of mucormycosis were included and analysed for demographical details and histopat…
Laika uztveres īpatnības šizofrēnijas pacientiem un depresijas pacientiem
2020
Pētījuma mērķis bija salīdzināt laika uztveri depresijas pacientu, šizofrēnijas pacientu un kontrolgrupā, noskaidrot, vai starp minētajām grupām pastāv laika uztveres atšķirības un kāda veida atšķirības tās ir. Pētījumā piedalījās 90 dalībnieki vecumā no 15 līdz 74 gadiem. Dalībnieki tika iedalīti trīs respondentu grupās – 28 personas ar diagnosticētu šizofrēniju, no kuriem 17 respondenti bija vīrieši un 14 – sievietes, 31 persona ar diagnosticētu depresiju, no kuriem 5 respondenti bija vīrieši un 26 – sievietes, un 31 nosacīti vesela persona, no kuriem 15 respondenti bija vīrieši un 13 - sievietes. Dalībnieki tika atlasīti pēc pieejamības un brīvprātības principa, pēc iespējas, pielīdzinot…
