A Review of the State-of-the-Art of Assistive Technology for People with ASD in the Workplace and in Everyday Life
2019
Part 8: Digital Divide and Social Inclusion; International audience; Autism, also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is an incurable brain-based disorder that refers to a wide range of complex neurodevelopment disorders characterised by marked difficulties in communication and social skills, repetitive behaviour, highly focused interests and sensory sensitivity. Autism can present challenges for affected people at the work environment and in everyday life. The barrier for individuals with ASD increases further with changing environmental situations. Individuals with ASD have limited abilities to isolate their Five senses and often experience over- or under-sensitivity to sounds, touch…
Chlorine flavor perception and neutralization in drinking water
2010
For water suppliers, using chlorine is necessary to ensure water bacteriological quality from the treatment plant to the consumers’ tap. However, chlorine flavour is one of the most common reasons advocated for choosing tap water alternatives as drinking water. As a consequence, the putative link between chlorine flavour perception and tap water consumption is an issue in drinking water habits studies. Since the sensory mechanisms involved in chlorine flavour perception remained largely unknown, the main objective of this thesis work was to first highlight those mechanisms and then to identify potential lever chlorine flavour sensory neutralisation.In a first step, we demonstrated that hypo…
Pusaudžu izvairīgas/ierobežojošas pārtikas uzņemšanas traucējuma iezīmju, sensorā jutīguma un internalizētu uzvedības problēmu sakarības
2022
Darba mērķis ir izpētīt ARFID iezīmju, sensorā jutīguma un internalizēto uzvedības problēmu sakarības pusaudžiem. Pētījumā piedalījās 271 pusaudzis 14 – 18 gadu vecumā. Pētījumā tika izmantotas trīs aptaujas – Deviņu jautājumu ARFID aptauja, Īpaši jutīga bērna aptauja, Ahenbaha jaunieša uzvedības pašnovērtēšanas aptaujas internalizēto uzvedības problēmu skalas. Rezultāti parādīja, ka pastāv statistiski nozīmīgas pozitīvas saistības starp pusaudžu ARFID iezīmēm, sensoro jutīgumu un internalizētām uzvedības problēmām. Meitenēm tika novērotas izteiktākas ARFID iezīmes, sensorais jutīgums un internalizētas uzvedības problēmas nekā zēniem. Internalizētas uzvedības problēmu kopējie rādītāji progn…
