Pleasure or health: Do children have to choose?

2017

International audience; Pleasure from eating is known to be a strong predictor of children’s food choices. Yet, children’s food preferences generally do not align with dietary recommendations, children rate energy-dense foods as the most liked and vegetables the least liked. In order to incite children to adopt a healthy diet, parents, caregivers, and national campaigns put forward nutritional arguments. However, there is limited research regarding the impact of the level of nutritional concern on children’s food choices, especially compared to pleasure-oriented goals. This talk is an overview of the research work I have conducted during my PhD, and explores the relationships between childr…

A web-based and mobile intervention with brochure support providing complementary feeding guidelines to first-time parents in France: Randomized Cont…

2023

Purpose: In light of the latest epidemiological and nutritional knowledge and scientific evidence supporting responsive feeding, the French feeding guidelines for 0-3 years were recently updated and nationally disseminated through a brochure and media campaign by Santé publique France. Moreover, smartphone apps become increasingly popular and is likely relevant to provide timely information across development to inform parents about child feeding practices but their effect is seldom evaluated. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to investigate whether the provision of guidelines through an app and a brochure (vs. brochure alone, usual service) results in healthier parental feeding p…

The influence of ENSO on South Africa winter rainfall

2011

International audience; We analysed the relationship between El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and South Africa austral winter rainfall using a 682 raingauges daily rainfall database documenting the period 1950-1999. The May, June and July (MJJ) seasonal rainfall amount shows a positive correlation with the Niño3.4 index that becomes significant since the mid 70's. Wet spells properties (length, frequency and intensity) at the raingauge scale indicate that high (low) MJJ seasonal rainfall amounts recorded during El Niño (La Niña) events are the result of longer (shorter) wet spells in the Cape Town area and more (less) frequent wet spells north of 33°S. Wet spells with daily rainfall amou…

This paper presents findings of a consumer survey carried out in Vietnam. the survey has been implemeted in two steps : qualitative and quantitative. The main profile of respondants are women, urban consumers, age from 24 - 39, office workers. The results provide an overall view on the criteria of choice in food buying decision. Concretely, sensorial factors like observing, touching, smelling play a very important role in food choice, more than trust on the vendor or certifcation of a third party like the Government. the consumer appreciates fresh food, assimilating to nutritional value, health and quality of the meal. However, there seems to be a generational difference between two generat…

Habitat area and local habitat conditions outweigh fragmentation effects on insect communities in vineyards

2022

Fragmentation of habitat, for example by intensive agricultural practices, can be detrimental to local biodiversity. However, it often remains unclear whether such biodiversity declines are caused by loss of habitat area or increased fragmentation, and how habitat quality factors into it. In our study system, vegetated vineyards are typically small, and isolated from one another, potentially limiting the distribution and dispersal of organisms. In a full-factorial experiment of a priori selected vegetated vineyard patches of differing size and fragmentation, we aimed to disentangle the effects of habitat area (area of vegetated vineyards), habitat fragmentation (number of vegetated vineyard…

IEEE Access Special Section Editorial: Exploiting the Benefits of Interference in Wireless Networks: Energy Harvesting and Security

2018

Interference used to be viewed as a harmful factor in wireless networks, which can reduce the quality of information transmission. To combat against interference, many interference management techniques have emerged. Due to the latest research advances, interference (or noise) can also be exploited to offer some benefits to wireless networks. The first aspect is that interference in multi-user networks can be collected as a green power supply for the transceivers, known as wireless energy harvesting. Another application is that one can generate artificial noise to disrupt the adversarial eavesdropping, and guarantee the security of wireless networks. Therefore, conventional interference man…

2005

Am 16. Dezember 2004 wählte das Bureau international des expositions (B.I.E.) Spanien und seine Kandidatenstadt, die Metropole Saragossa, als Organisationsland für die nächste internationale Ausstellung „International Exhibition of Zaragoza Spain 2008: Water and Sustainable Development“. Wir analysieren zunächst die Entwicklung "der Wege" der Kandidaturen zur Wahl der Gastgeberstadt der Internationalen Ausstellung 2008, dann greifen wir in einem zweiten Mal den gesamten Vorgang der Ausarbeitung, Begründung und Durchführung der Internationalen Ausstellung 2008 in Saragossa auf im Kontext der Globalisierung neue städtische Formen und Formen des Regierens hervorbringen, indem alle finanziellen…
