Characterizing the Dynamic Taste and Retro-Nasal Aroma Properties of Oral Nutritional Supplements Using Temporal Dominance of Sensation and Temporal …
2020
International audience; Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs) are used to restore the nutritional status of people suffering from swallowing pathologies such as dysphagia. ODTs are consumed without water intake and are easily swallowed. The main active compounds of ODTs are vitamins and minerals. These nutrients can have a bad taste or aftertaste, which can be masked by sweetening or flavoring. To ensure the effectiveness of masking strategies and to prescribe a product to patients with acceptable sensory qualities, it is essential to perform a precise and complete sensory characterization of these ODTs. Temporal dominance of sensations (TDS) and temporal check-allthat- apply (TCATA) methods…
The Effects of Cognitive Strategy Instruction on Knowledge of Math Problem-Solving Processes of Middle School Students With Learning Disabilities

¿Técnicos o profesionales? ¿Qué opinan los implicados? El caso de los agentes de empleo y desarrollo local (AEDL)
2014
Desde que aparece una actividad laboral -empleo u ocupación- hasta que llega a ser considerada una profesión, muchas son las dificultades que ésta ha de superar. En el presente texto, centramos nuestro interés en analizar las dificultades existentes en una de las actividades surgidas en las últimas décadas del siglo XX -la de generar empleo y desarrollo a nivel local o, lo que es lo mismo, la actividad de los AEDL (agentes de empleo y desarrollo local)- en su proceso de reconocimiento como profesión. En base a lo que se expondrá a lo largo de este artículo, buscaremos conocer la percepción que tiene el propio colectivo de afectados sobre la realidad de su situación profesional, así como de …

Immigrant prisoners in Italy. Cultural mediation to reduce social isolation and increase migrant prisoner well-being?
2022
Purpose This study aims to highlight how easy it is for immigrants to break Italian law because of the country’s inadequate cultural and linguistic mediation service. Insufficiencies in this service also have a negative impact on both the psychological and physical health of migrant prisoners. Furthermore, Italian is used in legal disputes and prison, and reference is made to Italian culture, preventing migrants from understanding their position regarding the law. Design/methodology/approach This report concerns the psychological discomfort of migrant incarcerated individuals within Italian prisons due to national laws in force. Consideration is also given to the negative impact on the phy…
Professional Agency, Identity, and Emotions While Leaving One’s Work Organization
2015
This study investigated the enactment of professional agency in an emotionally troubled work context emerging from a conflicted relationship between the professional and the work organization. Narrative interviews with Finnish educators were utilized. The findings indicate that the enactment of agency was in part framed by the educators’ rational interpretations of the relationship between themselves and their employer, plus their work history and future prospects. However, it was simultaneously embedded with contradictory emotions, such as a sense of being undervalued, fear, and a sense of empowerment. Within this framework, multifaceted professional agency was enacted particularly via lea…
La déontologie des juges : état des lieux et perspectives d'avenir
2021
International audience; La déontologie des juges a récemment connu, en France, des évolutions importantes. Dans une démarche préventive visant à éviter le recours à la sanction disciplinaire, voire pénale, le législateur a ainsi imposé aux juges la rédaction de chartes ou de recueils des obligations déontologiques et des bonnes pratiques, la création de collèges de déontologie ou encore la transmission de déclarations d'intérêts, voire de patrimoine. En retenant une approche transversale de son objet, cet ouvrage de « droit comparé interne » a pour première ambition de dresser un état des lieux de ces évolutions afin d'en tirer un premier bilan. Il permet, à cette occasion, de porter un reg…
