Explorations on interactive interfaces using cuteness
2007
The experience of interactive systems can be a rather complex set of events. The perceptions appeal to the user's senses including visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory. Taken from a human factors approach, the sensitivity of the senses can be measured very closely and units of measurement arise from the "just noticeable difference." These differences can be mapped to the physics behind the stimuli and computer controlled systems very accurately provide sensation to the user through various user interfaces. The human mind also plays an important role in making sense of the experience not only from a physiological standpoint, but from a psychological and cultural reference poin…
Should I use touchscreen tablets rather than computers and mice in TDS trials?
2016
International audience; Internet technologies are increasingly used as tools in sensory analysis. Thus, it would be a natural step forward for sensory science to move beyond the laboratory, into people's homes. Therefore, working with consumer IT devices like touchscreen tablets in sensory science should be taken into consideration. Working with the intuitive concept of dominance, Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS) requires a non-analytical answer from the subject. Using a touchscreen tablet instead of a classic mouse could reduce the cognitive load and favor a more instinctive answer. Indeed, it was proven that touch interaction is natural and efficient, and that finger pointing is fas…

Currently, there are various definitions for extreme sports and researchers in the field have been unable to advance a consensus on what exactly constitutes an 'extreme' sport. Traditional theory-led explanations, such as edgeworks, sensation seeking and psychoanalysis, have led to inadequate conceptions. These frameworks have failed to capture the depth and nuances of experiences of individuals who refute the notions of risk-taking, adrenaline- and thrill-seeking or death-defiance. Instead, participants are reported to describe experiences as positive, deeply meaningful and life-enhancing. The constant evolution of emerging participation styles and philosophies, expressed within and across…

La criminalización de la transmisión de VIH en los medios: periodismo de sucesos entre el sensacionalismo y la homofobia = Criminalization of HIV tra…
2019
Resumen: Introduccion : La informacion periodistica actual aborda mayoritariamente el VIH como una epidemia de caracter global y ha abandonado el discurso de los grupos de riesgo que vinculo al virus con la comunidad gay. En los ultimos anos, el VIH ha sido objeto de atencion mediatica por la judicializacion de la transmision deliberada del virus. Objetivos : Este trabajo analiza la cobertura periodistica en torno a dos hombres europeos juzgados en 2017: el escoces Daryll Rowe, condenado a cadena perpetua por tratar de infectar con VIH a 10 hombres, y el italiano Valentino Talluto, sentenciado por transmitir el virus a 32 mujeres. El estudio busca identificar las caracteristicas dominantes …
Inventando el crimen pasional: del lenguaje de gacetilla a la prensa de sucesos (España, 1892-1920)
2021
El terme «crim passional» va sorgir a la premsa espanyola el 1892. L’objectiu d’aquest treball és desvelar el perquè i entendre’n la relació amb la premsa sensacionalista i, en especial, amb la premsa especialitzada en successos. La nostra metodologia considera que la premsa és un motor cultural en la construcció de conceptes amb incidència social. Així, doncs, explorem la presència del terme «crim passional» en un bon nombre de diaris i setmanaris per observar com es va construir un marc mental de naturalesa emocional. Es revela la incidència del concepte en l’opinió pública i en el llenguatge jurídic, així com la seva rellevància en la justificació de la violència contra les dones.
Human brain mechanisms of pain perception and regulation in health and disease
2005
Context: The perception of pain due to an acute injury or in clinical pain states undergoes substantial processing at supraspinal levels. Supraspinal, brain mechanisms are increasingly recognized as playing a major role in the representation and modulation of pain experience. These neural mechanisms may then contribute to interindividual variations and disabilities associated with chronic pain conditions. Objective: To systematically review the literature regarding how activity in diverse brain regions creates and modulates the experience of acute and chronic pain states, emphasizing the contribution of various imaging techniques to emerging concepts. Data Sources: MEDLINE and PRE-MEDLINE s…
Influence of substrate oxidation on the reward system, no role of dietary fibre.
2011
International audience; It has been suggested that a high intake of dietary fibre helps regulate energy intake and satiety. The present study aimed to examine whether dietary fibre influenced the liking and wanting components of the food reward system, the metabolic state or subsequent intake. Five sessions involving 32 normal-weight subjects (16 men and 16 women, 30.6 ± 7.6 year) were held. The sessions differed in the composition of the bread eaten during breakfasts (dietary fibre content varied from 2.4 to 12.8 g/100 g). Several factors such as the palatability, weight, volume, energy content and macronutrient composition of the breakfasts were adjusted. Energy expenditure, the respirato…
Effect of Supplementation with Wheat Bran Aqueous Extracts Obtained by Ultrasound-Assisted Technologies on the Sensory Properties and the Antioxidant…
2015
Phenolic compounds have antioxidant properties and activate endogenous detoxification defense systems able to scavenge the reactive species of oxygen. The external layers of wheat caryopsis, largely constituting by-products of the milling industry such as bran and various middlings, contain relevant amounts of phenolic compounds. The aim of the research has been to evaluate the effect of supplementation with wheat bran aqueous extracts, obtained by ultrasound-assisted technologies, on the sensory properties and antioxidant activity of dry pasta. The HPLC-DAD characterization of the extract evidenced the presence of ferulic and p-coumaric acids. The supplemented pasta showed significantly h…
