Modelling the early determinants of food preferences in the OPALINE cohort

2012

Diaporama confidentielDiaporama confidentiel; The OPALINE project aimed at understanding the determining factors of the development of food preferences and eating behaviour up to the age of 2 years by following a cohort of children with a longitudinal recording of perinatal and postnatal feeding experiences, of children’s sensitivity to food tastes and odours and of parental feeding practices. The aim was to conjointly analyse the datasets to draw an overall picture of these potential determinants of food preferences and of their relative weight over the course of the first two years.The recruitment of a cohort of children (N=314) was conducted thanks to the help of local health and childho…

Early development of taste and flavor preferences and consequences on eating behavior

2018

The first 1000 days of life constitute an important period for development of health and eating behavior, in particular because the mode of feeding drastically evolves, which involves that the child has to learn “how” to eat, but also “what” to eat, “how” much food to eat. After birth, when foods are orally exposed, infants discover the intrinsic properties of foods, with a variety of tastes, flavors, textures, as well as energy densities. Here we focus on deciphering the involvement of taste and olfaction in the early establishment of eating behavior. In the OPALINE French birth cohort (Observatory of Food Preferences in Infants and Children), taste and flavor preferences were studied in c…

How does taste influence food preferences and food intake in early childhood?

2012

Humans are born with very few flavor preference. The most consistent observations concern taste: newborns exhibit an early attraction for the sweet taste, in opposition to the avoidance of the bitter taste. Odor preferences are less obvious and are generally related to prenatal learning and/or have biological relevance (Schaal, 2006). The objectives of this presentation will be to describe the early taste preference, how they evolve in early infancy (Schwartz, Issanchou, & Nicklaus, 2009), and how the taste of the foods or the individual attraction toward tastes might influence food preference in infancy (Schwartz, Chabanet, Lange, Issanchou, & Nicklaus, 2011), as well as food intake in ear…

Fiscal policy as an instrument for reducing income inequality: case of Latvia

2020

With the help of fiscal policy, government may influence both overall demand and the disposable income of the population, as well as solve social equality challenges in the society by allocating income among different groups of population. Income inequality in Latvia, which is expressed by the Gini index of disposable income, is the third highest in the European Union, so the question about the most effective instruments for reducing income inequality is pressing. Inequality results in reduced efficiency of social capital and economic distribution, worsening of population health indicators, rising social tension, increased crime and rising poverty, which can have a negative impact on long-t…

Efficiency of Corporate Income Tax Reliefs for the Investment Promotion in Latvia

2014

Corporate income tax rate in Latvia is one of the lowest in the European Union and is favourable for business. However, the government additionally uses numerous CIT reliefs to stimulate investments, to promote specific industries and investors. Total costs of these tax reliefs are high, but many of the goals declared by their introduction are not reached, suggesting that tax relief efficiency could be questioned. The efficiency of the existing and potential CIT reliefs should be regularly evaluated. The suggested criteria for such examination are – clear objective, type of taxable rent, existence of positive externality, appropriate design and potential for tax planning, costs in revenue f…

Preservice teachers’ training through microteaching experience

2020

The efficient teaching and the reflexive one were long recognized as desirable purposes of teachers’ training programs. Several studies demonstrated that simulated experiences inside university paths are suitable means to achieve that aim to have prepared teachers to become efficient and reflexive teachers. One of the methods more common to provide experience for teachers in training is microteaching. The video-registration and the methodologies that use of it are increasingly used in the professional training of future teachers. The teacher's professionalism requests, in addition to theoretical or disciplinary knowledge, the ability to mobilize knowledge to organize effective responses to …

Progettare per lo sviluppo della competenza negli alunni: organizzazione didattica e controllo dei risultati

2016

Per l’insegnante un problema cruciale è come organizzare, a partire da particolari requisiti e vincoli, esperienze di apprendimento che contribuiscano ad accrescere negli allievi la comprensione delle acquisizioni culturali, la capacità di risolvere problemi con senso critico e autonomia, l’attitudine a operare scelte consapevoli. L’obiettivo del contributo è indagare le condizioni in cui gli insegnanti pianificano e realizzano un intervento didattico, quali difficoltà incontrano nelle fasi di sviluppo dell’azione programmata, quali esiti conseguono da attività di insegnamento ben progettate e condotte. In primo luogo, è stato osservato il lavoro di organizzazione didattica di un gruppo di …
