Chemosensory reactivity and food neophobia in preschool children: impact of smell, but not of taste

2014

Context and objective: Recent studies suggested that sensory sensitivity could be linked to food neophobia, described as the reluctance to eat, or the avoidance of, new foods. The objective of the present study was twofold. Firstly, this study aimed at assessing the links between smell reactivity and taste reactivity in children. Secondly, this study assessed the links between children’s smell/taste reactivity and food neophobia. The hypothesis was that the higher the chemosensory reactivity of the child, the more the child is neophobic. Method: One hundred and three dyads of mother-child, from the Opaline cohort, were involved. The child’s food neophobia was assessed using a validated pare…

Smell but not taste reactivity is related to food neophobia in toddlers: results from the Opaline cohort

2014

National audience; Context and objective: Research has previously identified relationships between chemosensory reactivity and food neophobia in toddlers. However, most studies have addressed this question using declarative data, and without analyzing separately smell and taste. The objective of the present study was twofold. The first objective was to assess the relationships between olfactory reactivity and taste reactivity in toddlers, using experimental designs with different tastants and odorants. The second objective was to determine the relationships between olfactory /taste reactivity and food neophobia in toddlers. The hypothesis was that the higher the chemosensory reactivity of t…

ELECTROCHEMICAL H2O2 SENSORS BASED ON Pd and Cu NANOSTRUCUTERS

2018

In the last decades, with the fast improvement of electronics, the field of sensors is highly expanding. The basic idea of sensors is to detect something and then trigger a corresponding action. This simple, but very important, concept can be used in different fields: from chemical industries to farms, from the environmental monitoring [1] to a point of care analysis [2]. Currently, talking about sensing of chemical species, different techniques are used, such as Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (GFAAS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS), IR spectroscopy, redox titration and so on. Despite they are highly efficient in …

Senso e significati: un esempio

2018

Il secolare dibattito sulla semantica della musica ha prodotto innumerevoli studi, e diverse teorie che riflettono la grande varietà dei modi significanti che possono ritrovarsi nella musica d’arte occidentale di ogni tempo. Questo scritto propone come strumento di chiarificazione e di sintesi la distinzione tra rappresentazione e espressione che ha origine storica ed evidenza ermeneutica. La rappresentazione può cogliersi in tutte le componenti strutturali di una composizione musicale determinate, chiuse, codificate che si dispongono percettivamente nella dimensione spaziale; l’espressione in quelle indeterminate, fluide, tragressive che riflettono il tempo psicologico. Un esempio straordi…

Sensory testing in new product development: working with children

2015

Abstract This chapter aims at briefly reviewing applications of sensory descriptive testing methods with children, as well as their limits in relation to the cognitive development of children. Children’s sensory perceptions and preferences may differ from those of adults, which may make working directly with children a must for successful product development, at least at some stages of product development. However, most reported studies with children have characterized their preferences. Some studies have used discrimination tests and ranking tasks to gain knowledge about differences among products, or about sensory abilities development. A much smaller number of studies have involved child…

Navigācijas ierīces neredzīgiem cilvēkiem: vajadzību apzināšana un eksperimentāla prototipēšana

2021

Neredzīgu cilvēku skaits palielinās proporcionāli cilvēku skaitam, līdz ar to, palielinās arī cilvēku skaits, kuriem ikdienas gaitās nepieciešama vai nu asistenta palīdzība vai palīglīdzekļi. Šajā darbā apzinātas, pētītas un analizētas neredzīgu cilvēku vajadzības saistībā ar navigācijas palīglīdzekļiem, to esamību, pieejamību un neredzīgu cilvēku prasības no jauniem palīglīdzekļiem, lai tos reāli lietotu. Darbā eksperimentēts ar divu veidu sensoriem, kas spēj noteikt attālumu līdz objektiem – ultraskaņas sensoru un infrasarkano sensoru. Eksperimenta mērķis – pārbaudīt abu sensoru darbspēju un trūkumus, salīdzināt to darbību trīs dažādās vidēs un pret trīs dažādiem šķēršļiem. Eksperimentējo…
