Odor Perception in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and its Relationship to Food Neophobia

Luisier, Anne-Claude ; Petitpierre, Geneviève ; Ferdenzi, Camille ; Clerc Bérod, Annick ; Giboreau, Agnes ; Rouby, Catherine ; Bensafi, Moustafa

In: Frontiers in Psychology, 2015, p. 6:1830

Atypical sensory functioning in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been well documented in the last decade for the visual, tactile and auditory systems, but olfaction in ASD is still understudied. The aim of the present study was to examine whether children with ASD and neuro-typically (NT) developed children differed in odor perception, at the cognitive (familiarity and identification...

Eating behavior in autism : senses as a window towards food acceptance

Petitpierre, Geneviève ; Luisier, Anne-Claude ; Bensafi, Moustafa

In: Current Opinion in Food Science, 2021, vol. 41, p. 210-216

Atypical eating behaviors are common in autism. This article sheds light on the role of sensory processing on food acceptance and selectivity in autism. The role of the senses in eating behavior is described, suggesting that changes in liking to food sensory stimuli in autism occur and are linked to food neophobia. Interventions addressing sensory processes to improve eating behavior through...

The competencies that school-leavers should possess in order to meet the challenges of the 21st century

Pellaud, Francine ; Shankland, Rebecca ; Blandenier, Gilles ; Dubois, Laurent ; Gey, Noémie ; Massiot, Philippe ; Gay, Philippe

In: Frontiers in Education, 2021, p. p. 1-12

The current state of the planet poses challenging ethical questions that shake up our emotions and values, thus making our choices and decisions more difficult. In order to grasp the many complex issues with which we are each confronted on a daily basis, education in sustainable development (ESD) advances competencies (Unesco, 2017) that are rooted in both cognitive and socio-emotional...

Frameworks used in invasion science: progress and prospects

Wilson, John R.U. ; Bacher, Sven ; Daehler, Curtis C. ; Groom, Quentin J. ; Kumschick, Sabrina ; Lockwood, Julie L. ; Robinson, Tamara B. ; Zengeya, Tsungai A. ; Richardson, David M.

In: NeoBiota, 2020, vol. 62, p. 1–30

Our understanding and management of biological invasions relies on our ability to classify and conceptualise the phenomenon. This need has stimulated the development of a plethora of frameworks, ranging in nature from conceptual to applied. However, most of these frameworks have not been widely tested and their general applicability is unknown. In order to critically evaluate frameworks in...

Decent Work for All : Rethinking Decent Work in the Context of South Africa

Ludwig, Carmen ; Webster, Edward

In: sozialpolitik.ch, 2020, vol. 2, no. 3, p. Article: 2.3

The authors argue that there is a need to rethink what a commitment to decent work would mean in the context of South Africa, a country with a large number of long term unemployed. Drawing on their experience of researching work in South Africa, they highlight the relevance of the agency of workers for the progressive realisation of a decent work agenda. The lukewarm response of the government to...

Reward-related behavioral and biological responses associated with eating : insights from anorexia nervosa and obesity research = Réponses bio-comportementales liées à la récompense: aperçus de la recherche en anorexie mentale et en obésité

Pereira Picolo Ribeiro, Mayron ; Martin Soelch, Chantal (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2020.

Research on clinical populations with eating disturbances has shown the involvement of reward processing in the maintenance of disease- associated symptoms. Investigation on food as a reward indicates the metabolic or feeding state (i.e. fasted or fed state) as a modulator of food as a reward, but little is known about how these states influence other types of reward. This is important...

COFs meet graphene nanoribbons

Fritz, Patrick Walter ; Coskun, Ali

In: Chem, 2020, vol. 6, no. 5, p. 1046–1048

2D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have received considerable attention because of their crystallinity, permanent porosity, and tunability, yet they exhibit low in-plane conductivity. In this issue of Chem, Fischer and co-workers report an approach for growing 2D COF thin films featuring high in-plane conductivity for potential use in organic electronics.

The prospect and challenges to the flow of liquid biopsy in Africa

Oluwaseyi Temilola, Dada ; Wium, Martha ; Coulidiati, Tangbadioa Herve ; Adeola, Henry Ademola ; Carbone, Giuseppina Maria ; Catapano, Carlo Vittorio Institute of Oncology Research (IOR), Faculty of Biomedical Sciences, Università della Svizzera italiana, Switzerland ; Zerbini, Luiz Fernando

In: Cells, 2019, vol. 8, no. 8, p. 862

Liquid biopsy technologies have the potential to transform cancer patient management as it others non- invasive diagnosis and real-time monitoring of disease progression and treatment responses. The use of liquid biopsy for non-invasive cancer diagnosis can have pivotal importance for the African continent where access to medical infrastructures is limited, as it eliminates the need for...

Quantum simulation meets nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory: exploring the periodically driven, strongly correlated fermi-hubbard model

Sandholzer, Kilian ; Murakami, Yuta ; Görg, Frederik ; Minguzzi, Joaquín ; Messer, Michael ; Desbuquois, Rémi ; Eckstein, Martin ; Werner, Philipp ; Esslinger, Tilman

In: Physical Review Letters, 2019, vol. 123, no. 19, p. 193602

We perform an ab initio comparison between nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory and optical lattice experiments by studying the time evolution of double occupations in the periodically driven Fermi-Hubbard model. For off-resonant driving, the range of validity of a description in terms of an effective static Hamiltonian is determined and its breakdown due to energy absorption close to...
