Contre l'autonomie et la clôture du texte : formes et ambiguïtés de la fiction moderniste européenne : (1910-1939)
2014
Although it has been a key concept of literary criticism in the English-speaking world for more than a half-century, modernism remains a relatively misunderstood notion in France, owing to its proximity to somewhat close concepts such as modernity and avant-garde, which it only partially overlaps. The concept is relevant to experimentation in all literary genres, but this study focuses on the novel, with texts by James Joyce, André Gide, Ramón Gómez de la Serna and Virginia Woolf. Those have often been mischaracterized by literary critics as either mimetic novels — though more realistic than realist novels — or more frequently as emblematic of the self-referential text, as defined by the do…

Atypical perceptual narrowing in prematurely born infants is associated with compromised language acquisition at 2 years of age
2010
Abstract Background Early auditory experiences are a prerequisite for speech and language acquisition. In healthy children, phoneme discrimination abilities improve for native and degrade for unfamiliar, socially irrelevant phoneme contrasts between 6 and 12 months of age as the brain tunes itself to, and specializes in the native spoken language. This process is known as perceptual narrowing, and has been found to predict normal native language acquisition. Prematurely born infants are known to be at an elevated risk for later language problems, but it remains unclear whether these problems relate to early perceptual narrowing. To address this question, we investigated early neurophysiolog…
The crowd against the few: Measuring the impact of expert recommendations
2020
Abstract A large amount of research on recommender systems has focused on improving the accuracy of suggestions in offline settings. However, this focus and the commonly used techniques can lead to a “filter bubble”, severely limiting the diversity of content discovered by users. Several offline studies show that this can be mitigated by using experts for recommendation. In contrast to standard recommender systems, experts are able to generate more diverse recommendations and increase the novelty of given suggestions. They can be used in missing-data or cold-start scenarios and reduce noise in the users' ratings. This paper examines the impact of employed experts' recommendations on user be…
Irradiated foods between concern and acceptance in the Italian market
2018
Consumers have always shown a marked concern for the novel technologies. The treatment of foods with ionizing radiation, not entirely new, has always been a major concern among consumers for the impact that the consumption of treated food could have on health. The aim of this paper is to investigate Italian consumer attitudes towards the irradiated food and in particular the perceived risk and the acceptability of these technology. A survey was carried out in Italy by administering an on-line questionnaire to a sample of 392 consumers. The results of the study highlight a low level of knowledge of food irradiation, often associated with nuclear radiation and doubts about the effect that the…

What motivates the adoption of green restaurant products and services? A systematic review and future research agenda
2021
Issues regarding green restaurants have received significant scholarly and practitioner attention in the last decade, particularly concerning why consumers adopt green restaurants. Although several reviews exist on green hospitality, a comprehensive review of the literature on consumers' green restaurant adoption is currently lacking. The following systematic literature review examines 50 research studies published on the consumer adoption of green restaurant services to address this gap accordingly. Through a detailed content analysis, the research profile and thematic analysis are presented. The review further identifies four key thematic foci: (a) consumer behavior variables studied, (b)…
