Повний текст джерелаA reliable sensory battery, which assesses 5 sensory modalities, was formulated and normative data for school-age children was derived. Sensory function was evaluated in 9 hemiplegic children (4-19 years) and 18 healthy age-matched controls. Significant bilateral sensory deficits were documented in hemiplegic children. Thus a sensory assessment should be an integral part of the evaluation of a child with hemiplegia.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background Temperament and sensory thresholds play an important part in how a person processes sensory information. Because people are differently construed, the way we perceive sensory information and act on the information will differ. Any person who suffers from an ailment or condition that interferes with this process of receiving, interpreting and acting on stimuli from our environments may find this process even harder. Behavioural observations that deviate from the "norm" are often found in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and sensory processing disorder (SPD). More recent research focused on the relationship between ADHD and SPD. Dunn developed the Sensory Profile Caregiver1 and Sensory Profile School Companion2 (SPSC) measures to identify children’s sensory processing difficulties. Although many studies have been conducted using the Sensory Profile, no studies have been conducted outside the United States of America (USA) to establish whether Dunn’s SPSC will differentiate between children who are considered to be "normal" and those diagnosed with ADHD. Aim The aim of this study was to investigate how learners with ADHD in the Western Cape would perform on Dunn’s Sensory Profile School Companion (SPSC) and the ADHD Rating Scale-IV³ in order to assess the sensory processing problems of learners with ADHD in South Africa (see note end of abstract). Methodology A descriptive study was conducted using a convenience sample (n=108) from learners in the Western Cape between the ages of five and ten years and diagnosed with ADHD. Data collection consisted of a demographical form completed by the parents/legal guardians of the learners, as well as the completion of two questionnaires by the educator of the learners. The first questionnaire, the ADHD Rating Scale-IV, was used to classify the learners into subtypes of ADHD. The second questionnaire was Dunn’s SPSC, which is a teacher-report measure of learners’ responses to sensory input in the school environment. The following statistical analyses were performed: • descriptive statistics to provide means, medians and measurements of dispersion of the learners in the Western Cape on the SPSC; • The Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA probability value to consider if significant differences existed between the medians of the 13 group scores of the SPSC; and • The Welsh T-test to compare learners with ADHD in the Western Cape with SPSC norms and Dunn’s sample of learners with ADHD. Results The results showed that there were significant differences (p=0.000) on all 13 group scores of the SPSC in learners with ADHD in the Western Cape showing significantly more behaviours characterising poorer sensory processing, when compared to Dunn’s normal sample. The comparison to Dunn’s sample of learners with ADHD did not yield significant differences in 11 of the 13 group scores, indicating that learners with ADHD in the Western Cape did not differ from Dunn’s ADHD learners. Avoiding and School Factor 4 showed significant differences, with the Western Cape group showing more extreme behaviours related to sensory input than Dunn’s group. The results using the ADHD Rating Scale-IV were less significant and it was found that the rating scale could not differentiate between the two types of ADHD, although some inferences could be made regarding the use (or not) of medication. There was a significant difference (p < 0.01) on the inattentive, hyperactive-impulsivity and total scores of the ADHD Rating Scale-IV with learners not on medication showing a higher frequency of ADHD behaviours. Conclusion Dunn’s SPSC was found to be a good measure to assess learners with ADHD’s sensory processing problems. The ADHD Rating Scale-IV, on the other hand, could not classify the learners into the subtypes and therefore cannot be used when learners are already using medication. Further investigation is recommended to try to establish a link between the different subtypes of ADHD and the placement of learners on the different quadrants of Dunn’s SPSC as well as the School Factors and Sensory Section Scores.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Agtergrond Temperament en sensoriese drempels speel 'n belangrike rol in die wyse waarop 'n persoon sensoriese inligting verwerk. Omdat mense verskillend is, sal die manier waarop ons sensoriese inligting waarneem en dan daarop reageer, verskil. Enige persoon wat aan 'n kwaal of toestand ly wat inmeng met hierdie proses van hoe sensoriese insette uit die omgewing opgeneem, geïnterpreteer en dan op gereageer word, sal dit moeilik vind. Gedrag wat afwyk van die "norm" word dikwels in kinders met aandagafleibaarheid/hiperaktiwiteitsteuring (AAHS) en sensoriese prosesseringsdisfunksie (SPD) waargeneem. Meer onlangse navorsing fokus op die verhouding tussen AAHS en SPD. Dunn het die Sensory Profile Caregiver4 en die Sensory Profile School Companion5 (SPSC)-skale ontwikkel om kinders se sensoriese prosesseringsprobleme te identifiseer. Alhoewel baie studies gedoen is wat die Sensory Profile gebruik het, is daar geen studies buite die VSA gedoen om te bepaal of Dunn se SPSC tussen kinders wat as normaal beskou word en dié wat met AAHS gediagnoseer is, kan differensiëer nie. Doelstelling Die doel van hierdie studie was om ondersoek in te stel na hoe leerders met AAHS in die Wes- Kaap op Dunn se Sensory Profile School Companion (SPSC) en die ADHD Rating Scale-IV6 sou presteer om die sensoriese prosesserings probleme van leerders met AAHS te assesseer. Metodiek 'n Beskrywende studie is gedoen met 'n gerieflikheidsteekproef (n=108) van leerders tussen die ouderdomme vyf en tien jaar oud in die Wes-Kaap wat met AAHS gediagnoseer is. Datainsameling het bestaan uit 'n demografiese vorm wat deur die ouers/wettige voogde van die leerders ingevul is, sowel as die voltooiing van twee vraelyste deur die opvoeder van die leerders. Die eerste vraelys, die ADHD Rating Scale-IV, is gebruik om die subtipes van AAHS te klassifiseer. Die tweede vraelys was die Sensory Profile School Companion (SPSC) wat 'n meting met behulp van die onderwyser se verslag is wat die leerders se reaksie ten opsigte van sensoriese insette in die skoolomgewing meet. Die tweede vraelys (Dunn se SPSC) is deur onderwysers ingevul ten einde leerders se response op sensoriese insette in die skoolomgewing te bepaal. Die data is aan die volgende ontledings onderwerp: beskrywende statistiek wat die gemiddelde, mediane en metings van die verspreiding van leerders in die Wes-Kaap op die SPSC verskaf; • die Kruskal-Wallis-eenrigting-ANOVA waarskynlikheidswaarde om vas te stel of daar beduidende verskille tussen die mediane van die 13 groeptellings van die SPSC is; en • die Welsh T-Toets om leerders met AAHS in die Wes-Kaap te vergelyk met die SPSCnorme en Dunn se steekproef van leerders met AAHS. Resultate Die resultate het beduidende verskille getoon (p=0.000) op al 13 groeptellings van die SPSC by leerders met AAHS in die Wes-Kaap, wat dui daarop dat hierdie groep aansienlik meer probleme kenmerkend aan sensoriese verwerking toon as wat in Dunn se normale steekproef waargeneem is. Die vergelyking met Dunn se steekproef met AAHS het in 11 van die 13 groeptellings nie beduidende verskille getoon nie wat aandui dat leerders met AAHS in die Wes-Kaap nie veel verskil het van Dunn se AAHS-leerders nie. Avoiding en School Factor 4 het beduidende verskille getoon met leerders in die Wes-Kaapse groep wat meer uiterstes in gedrag getoon het ten opsigte van sensoriese insette as dié van Dunn se groep. Die resultate waar die ADHD Rating Scale gebruik is, was minder beduidend en daar is bevind dat die skaal nie kon differensiëer tussen die twee tipes AAHS nie, alhoewel daar afleidings gemaak kon word ten opsigte van die gebruik (of nie) van medikasie. Daar was 'n beduidende verskil (p < 0.01) in die onoplettende, hiperaktief-impulsiwiteit en totale tellings van die ADHD Rating Scale-IV met leerders nie op medikasie nie, wat 'n hoër frekwensie van AAHS-gedrag getoon het. Slot Daar is bevind dat Dunn se SPSC 'n goeie maatstaf is om die sensoriese verwerkingsprobleme van leerders met AAHS te assesseer. Die ADHD Rating Scale-IV aan die ander kant kon nie die leerders in die verskillende subtipes klassifiseer nie en kan dus nie gebruik word wanneer die leerders reeds medikasie gebruik nie. Verdere ondersoek word aanbeveel in ’n poging om 'n skakel te kry tussen die verskillende subtipes AAHS en die plasing van leerders op die verskillende kwadrante van Dunn se SPSC sowel as die School Factors- en Sensory Section-tellings.
Krueger, Alexis. "Engineering synthetic feedback to promote recovery of self-feeding skills in people with sensory deficits due to stroke." Thesis, Marquette University, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10242494.
Повний текст джерелаKinesthesia refers to sensations of limb position and movement, and deficits of upper limb kinesthetic feedback are common after stroke, impairing stroke survivors’ ability to perform the fundamental reaching and stabilization behaviors needed for daily functions like self-feeding. I attempt to mitigate the negative impact of post-stroke kinesthesia deficits by evaluating the utility of vibrotactile sensory substitution to restore closed-loop kinesthetic feedback of the upper limb.
As a first step, this study evaluated performance in healthy individuals during fundamental reaching, stabilization, and tracking behaviors while using supplemental vibrotactile feedback encoding either limb state information or goal-aware error information. First, I determined that performance in reaching and stabilization tasks varies systematically with the amount of limb position and velocity information encoded in limb state feedback and that there is an optimal combination. Next, I compared the utility of optimal limb state to goal-aware error feedback. Both types of feedback reduced error in the reaching and stabilization tasks. Random task-irrelevant sham feedback did not reduce error, demonstrating participants could perceive and understand the information contained within the vibrotactile feedback. Error feedback improved performance more than state feedback; however the relative difficulty of using error feedback outside of a laboratory setting means state feedback should not be discounted. The performance while tracking could not be quantified due to issues with the task design.
As a second step, I performed a series of case studies in five chronic stroke survivors. The stroke survivors all tolerated the vibrotactile feedback well and were able to perceive and understand at least one of the limb state or error feedback encodings. Stroke survivors practiced each information encoding type for one session. During this short period our stroke survivors struggled to integrate visual and vibrotactile inputs and motor control in order to use the vibrotactile information to control the arm. However, two additional practice sessions with error feedback for one participant led to a two thirds reduction in reaching error. These results suggest stroke survivors can learn to use supplemental vibrotactile feedback to enhance control of the contralesional arm.

Повний текст джерелаHoy en día en España y en muchas regiones del mundo se enfrentan al problema de la escasez de agua y la disminución de sus suministros. Por otra parte, las proyecciones de los modelos climáticos preveen que la escasez de agua se convertirá en uno de los problemas más importantes en muchas zonas del mundo. La gravedad de problema hace que sea necesario mejorar la eficiencia del uso del agua. Considerando lo anterior, el objetivo general de esta tesis es mejorar la eficiencia del riego mediante la utilización de nuevos protocolos de gestión de riego en dos especies de árboles: cerezos (Prunus avium) y plátano de sombra (Platanus x hispanica) para producir madera. Mediante la aplicación de diferente estrategias de riego deficitario basadas en las medidas de la máxima contracción diaria del tronco (MCD) combinado con la medida del estado hídrico del suelo. Los ensayos se realizaron los años 2009 y 2010, en un invernadero (primer capítulo) y en campo (segundo y tercer capítulo) en las instalaciones del IRTA en Torre Marimon. Los objetivos del primer capítulo fueron evaluar si la MCD es un buen indicador del estado hídrico del cerezo a partir de las relaciones con otros indicadores fisiológicos y ambientales; asimismo, se obtuvo un valor umbral de esta variable para utilizarlo en la programación del riego Como se esperaba, los árboles bien regados y los estresados presentaron diferencias significativas en todas las variables fisiológicas: conductancia estomática (gs), potencial hídrico de la hoja al mediodía ( md) y flujo de savia diario (Qd); el potencial matricial del substrato ( s) disminuyó hasta -33, y el correspondiente valor de MCD fue aproximadamente 0.30 mm. Estos valores se consideran umbrales potenciales para la programación del riego de árboles jóvenes de cerezos. Estos valores se corresponden a un -2 -1 md de -2.3 MPa y una gs de 50mmol m s , los cuales indican estrés hídrico severo. En la parte B del primer capítulo B, el objetivo fue explorar si la sequía afecta al patrón diario y horario de dos indicadores continuos del estado hídrico como son la variación del diámetro del tronco y el flujo de savia. Los árboles estresados mostraron un incremento significativo de la MCD y un decremento del SF diario respecto a los bien regados. La MCD es más sensible a la sequía que el SF diario, debido principalmente a la mayor variabilidad entre árboles del segundo. En los ciclos diarios, la variación del diámetro del tronco y el flujo de savia horario están relacionados por un bucle que se comporta diferente cuando está regado o estresado. La variación de la pendiente de la relación entre las dos variables entre las 8 y las 16 horas en situaciones de sequía puede ser un indicador de estrés. Los objetivos del segundo capítulo fueron intentar mejorar la gestión del riego en árboles, cerezo y plátano de sombra mediante la implantación de nuevos protocolos de riego deficitario regulado basados en el valor absoluto de MCD (RDImds) y el potencial matricial de suelo ( s), también se combinó con el uso de agua regenerada en cerezos. Los resultados indicaron que no hubo ningún efecto negativo relacionado con los tratamientos de RDI en el crecimiento en diámetro y altura del tronco ni en la cobertura verde, ni en la conductancia estomática en ambas especies. El tratamiento RDImds ha ahorrado agua sin ningún efecto en el crecimiento de los árboles, con el mismo comportamiento cuando se ha regado con agua regenerada o agua de pozo. El protocolo aplicado en 2009 podría ser recomendado para cerezos jóvenes, y el protocolo aplicado en 2010 podría recomendarse para plátanos. En el tercer capítulo, el objetivo fue evaluar un protocolo de riego basado en el s y la señal de la MCD (MCDRDI/MCD100%Etc). Los resultados indicaron que tratamientos de RDIseñal no tuvieron ningún efecto negativo sobre los indicadores de crecimiento de los árboles ni en la MCD ni en la gs. El tratamiento RDIseñal ahorró un 20 - 30% de agua en las dos especies. Així com en el tractament RDImds, el protocolo aplicado en 2009 se podría recomendar para cerezos jóvenes y el protocolo utilizado en 2010 se podría recomendar para plátanos. Este último tratamiento tiene la desventaja que necesita un control, pero a su vez evita los problemas de la influencia de las condiciones ambientales en la MCD del tratamiento RDImds.
Nowadays in Spain and many regions in the world face the problem of water scarcity and decreasing of its supplies. Moreover, climatic model projected that water scarcity will become one of the most important problems in many areas of the world. This serious problem supposes an urgent need to improve water use efficiency. Considering this problems, the general objective of this work was to improve irrigation efficiency by using new irrigation management protocol in two different species cherry trees (Prunus avium) and plane trees (Platanus x hispanica) for timber production. By applying different deficit irrigation strategies, based on the dendrometry measurements and other plant based water status indicators combined by soil water status measurements. The essays were conducted in 2009 and 2010; the first parts were conducted in one greenhouse and the second and third parts in the open field at IRTA Torre Marimon facilities. The objectives of the first chapter were to evaluate if MDS is a reliable indicator of cherry plants water status through its relationship with physiological and environmental variables; moreover, to study from these relationships the possibility of derivation a threshold value of MDS that indicated maximum water stress level in order to use it for irrigation scheduling. As expected well irrigated and stressed trees presented significant differences in all physiological variables: stomatal conductance (gs), midday leaf water potential ( md) and daily sap flow (Qd); substrate water potential ( s) decreased till -33kPa and the corresponding MDS value about 0.30 mm. Those values could be considered potential threshold for irrigation scheduling of young cherry trees. Those values corresponded to md of -2.3 MPa and gs of 50 mmol m-2 s-1, indicative of severe water stress. In part B of this chapter, the objective was to explore if drought affected the daily and hourly pattern of two continuous indicators of water status, trunk diameter variation and sap flow. Stressed trees showed a significant MDS increase and SF decrease respect to irrigated trees. MDS was more sensitive than SF in front of drought stress, mainly due to the higher variability of SF from tree to tree. In the daily cycle values, trunk diameter variation and sap flow were related to each other via a loop that differs according to tree water status. The change in the slope of the relationship between the two varibles between 8 and 16 hours in drought conditions can be an indicator of stress. The aims of the second chapter were to improve managing irrigation in woody trees, cherry and plane tree, by applying a regulate deficit irrigation protocols based on the absolute value of MDS (RDImds) and soil water potential ( s), combined by reclaimed water in cherry trees. Results indicated no negative effect related with RDI treatments was noticed on cherry or plane trees growth as no any significant differences was noticed in trunk diameter growth rate (TGR), height and relative green cover (RGC)neither in stomatal conductance in both species. Water quality neither affected the grothw of cherry trees. The RDImds treatment combined with s saved water without any negative effect on tree growth, with the same behavior when irrigated with reclaimed water or well water. The protocol applied in 2009 would be recommended for young cherry trees, and the protocol applied in 2010 would be recommended for plane trees. In the third chapter, the objective was to evaluate an irrigation scheduling protocol based on the information obtained from soil status s and MDS signal (MDSRDI/MDS100%Etc) as precision tools for automated adjustment of deficit irrigation in cherry and plane tree. Results indicated that RDIsignal and s protocols had no negative effect on tree growth indicators TGR and RGC; also no clear differences were noticed between well irrigated and RDIsignal trees in MDS and gs. Our irrigation scheduling protocol based on MDSsignal and s can be considered a valid protocol for schedule irrigation in woody trees as it helped us to save about 20- 30% of water in both species without any negative effect on the trees growth. As well as in the treatment RDImds, the protocol applied in 2009 could recommend for young cherry and protocol used in 2010 could recommend bananas for shade. The latter treatment has disadvantage it takes control, yet avoid the problems of the influence of environmental conditions on MCD treatment RDImds.

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of this study was to explore the impact that sensory processing had on the learning and development of two Grade R learners that experience Asperger's Syndrome. The present study is grounded in theories originating from the works of Piaget (1973 & 1978), Vygotsky (1978 & 1993), Feuerstein (1980 & 1991) and Erikson (1950). The informal, flexible education experienced in Grade R classes reflects both the OBE curriculum and inclusive education systems found in South Africa. The main medium of learning is through sensory experiences, therefore it was necessary to research how two AS learners would learn and develop and explore their world through their senses. This research approach was purely qualitative. Multi-methods of data collection, particularly interviews and observations were used. The sample size was two independent case studies, using learners aged between five and seven, who had been clinically diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). The two AS learners both attended mainstream Grade R classes and both had facilitators. The findings of the study answer the key research question: “What is the impact of sensory processing difficulties on the learning and development of two learners experiencing Asperger's Syndrome in Grade R?” The results confirmed the impact sensory processing had on the learning and development of learners experiencing AS. The learners had difficulty learning new skills and concepts. Although they were both bright learners, they were perceived as underachievers. Identifying these sensory difficulties and creating awareness among educators, can have a positive impact on these learners' adaptability in a mainstream school environment. This study recommends that early intervention with AS learners is vital for their future learning and development. The interpretation of body language and social skills of normal learners needs to be taught to learners with AS so they can begin to socialise with other learners positively. Ebersöhn & Eloff (2006) suggest that knowledge of asset-based good practices should be shared with educators and caregivers, so that they can focus on the AS learners' strengths and positive character traits. The multi-disciplinary team need to work together to offer support to these learners assisting them to develop to their full potential

Повний текст джерелаNeurorehabilitation is a process by which neurological individuals achieve full recovery or, when not possible, realize their optimal physical, mental and social potential. Essential components of effective motor rehabilitation process include an expert multidisciplinary assessment, a realistic goal-oriented program and the evaluation of patient’s achievements through clinically appropriate, scientifically sound outcome measures. The main aim of this thesis was to develop quantitative methods and tools for the clinical treatment and assessment of neurological patients. Conventional rehabilitation treatments typically require neurological patients to execute repetitive exercises, consequently limiting their engagement and motivation. Virtual reality and augmented feedback are tools which have shown to involve patients, allowing repeatability and standardization of protocols. An augmented feedback tool for trunk control was developed and evaluated. Moreover, virtual reality allows individualizing the treatment on patient’s needs gradually adapting the difficulty level to the progress. A virtual reality-based application for gait rehabilitation was developed and tested in a 6-weeks training program on multiple sclerosis subjects. Its feasibility and acceptance were evaluated and the effectiveness of treatment demonstrated. Traditionally, quantitative motor assessments have been performed using motion capture systems. Unfortunately, their effective use in clinical practice is still limited. To overcome these limitations inertial sensors have been introduced. A methodology based on their use to assess arm swing in Parkinson’s diseased is proposed. Inertial sensors, are small, accurate, flexible and portable but accumulate significant drift during long measurements. This issue has been analyzed and findings suggest that drift and its consequences in determining gait parameters can be contained if the inertial unit is placed on the foot and accelerations are integrated starting from the mid stance phase. Finally, a validation of the Microsoft Kinect in tracking gait in a virtual reality-based training is presented. Preliminary results allow defining its range of use in rehabilitation.

Повний текст джерелаFocused attention represents a high-level cognitive function enabling humans to selectively facilitate specific actions and perceptions. In a world full of choices of action, and of perceptual possibilities, focused attention appears to be a vital component of human cognition. One observation however, is worth making: human-beings are unable to maintain stable states of focused attention indefinitely. This inability manifests during sustained attention tasks with the progressive occurrence of sensory-motor deficiencies with time-on-task. The phenomenon - called attention decrement - is characterized by increases in motor impulsivity and in response times to imperative events, and by a reduction in perceptual sensitivity. So far, the neural underpinnings of attention decrement have not been fully elucidated and this lack of knowledge is clearly palpable within two disciplinary fields : Cognitive Neuroscience and Cognitive Engineering. In Cognitive Neuroscience, the associated question is why are human-beings unable to maintain an optimal sensory-motor performance during sustained attention tasks? In Cognitive Engineering, the lack of a complete scientific understanding of attentional issues impacts the development of efficient passive Brain-Computer interfaces (BCI), capable of detecting the occurrence of potentially dangerous attention decrements during the performance of everyday activities. Both issues have been addressed in this thesis. In terms of Cognitive Neuroscience, I demonstrate that sustaining focused attention on a visual stimulation rapidly leads to an inhibition of the visual cortices. This sensory inhibition can be causally related to the lack of changes in perceptual stimulation typically characterizing sustained attention tasks. While the mechanism may be beneficial during visual search tasks as it helps humans avoid processing the same stimulus, the same object, the same location several times, it can lead to the occurrence of sensory deficiencies when sustained attention is required. As such, the sensory inhibition provides a compelling explanation as to the decrease in perceptual sensitivity and to the increase in reaction time that typify attention decrement. I show in a second study that attention decrement is associated with an increase in the activity of motor- and attention-related neural structures (i.e., cortico-spinal tract, primary motor, prefrontal and right parietal cortices). This excessive engagement reflects a compensatory process occurring in response to the sensory disengagement already highlighted and to the related degradation of the quality of perceptual representations. It is notable that the excessive engagement of the motor neural structures with time-on-task provides a potential explanation for the increase in motor impulsivity typifying attention decrement. In terms of application of these new findings, I investigated the potential of exploiting these neural correlates of attention decrement to discriminate between two different attentional states (i.e., with or without attention decrement) through a passive BCI system. To do so, we applied supervised classification analyses on near-infrared spectroscopy signals reflecting the hemodynamic activity of prefrontal and parietal cortices as recorded during a sustained attention task. We achieved relatively promising classification performance results which bode well for the future development of passive BCI. When considered together, the results described in this thesis contribute towards a better understanding of the neural correlates of attention decrement and demonstrate how this novel knowledge can be exploited for the future development of systems which may enable a reduction in accidents and human error-driven incidents in real world environments

Повний текст джерелаThe sensory concept of typicality of dry Riesling wines was demonstrated using different sensory analysis methodologies. This was achieved by comparison to other styles of dry white wines especially from Bordeaux, which showed strong Sauvignon blanc character. ‘Fruity’ descriptors like ‘citrus fruit’ and ‘yellow fruit’ were shown to be related to dry Riesling wines’ typicality independently by two panels of wine experts. Analysis of volatiles by means of gas chromatography coupled to mass selective detection (GC-MSD) was realised in order to link sensory data to aroma compounds’ concentrations. For the first time, concentrations of the high potent aroma compound 3 sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) were shown to correlate with typicality ratings for Riesling wines. The impact of viticultural conditions during the grape vine growing period on finished wines’ aroma was studied with respect to grape vine water status and leaf removal practices including precursor studies in berries and must. It was clearly shown that changing viticultural conditions influenced volatile aroma compounds’ concentrations in finished wines, especially for 3SH, linalool and 1,1,6 trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN). Additionally the well-known aroma compound trans-ethyl cinnamate was identified to be a possible impacting aroma compound implicated in Riesling wines’ aromatic typicality. The applied methodology using two-dimensional gas chromatography with olfactometric and high resolution mass spectrometric detection (2D-GC-O/HRMS) after a sensory guided fractionation using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) in a comparative approach to dry white wines from Bordeaux, showed to be a powerful tool to decrypt Riesling wines’ aroma. The totality of results allowed improving the knowledge on aromatic typicality of Riesling wines and the imparted aroma compounds and how those concentrations could be influenced by changing viticultural conditions
Das eigene sensorische Konzept der Typizität von trockenen Rieslingweinen wurde mittels unterschiedlicher sensorischer Methoden nachgewiesen. Dies wurde insbesondere durch den Vergleich mit trockenen Weißweinen anderer Stile, vornehmlich mit trockenen Weißweinen aus Bordeaux, welche eine ausgeprägte Sauvignon blanc Stilistik aufwiesen, erzielt. Es konnte mithilfe von zwei unabhängigen sensorischen Panels, bestehend aus Weinexperten, gezeigt werden, dass die aromatische Typizität von trockenen Rieslingweinen mit „fruchtigen“ Deskriptoren, wie „Zitrus“ oder „gelbe Früchte“ zusammenhängt. Die mittels Gaschromatographie, gekoppelt mit massenspektrometrischer Detektion, (GC-MSD) gemessenen Konzentrationen flüchtiger Verbindungen wurden mit den sensorischen Daten korreliert. Hierbei wurde zum ersten Mal gezeigt, dass die Konzentrationen des hoch potenten Aromastoffes 3 Sulfanylhexanol (3SH) mit der wahrgenommenen Typizität von Rieslingweinen im engen Zusammenhang stehen. Der Einfluss weinbaulicher Bedingungen während der vegetativen Phase auf das Aroma von Weinen, einschließlich der Aromastoffvorstufen in Beeren und Most, wurde hinsichtlich der Wasserversorgung der Rebe und verschiedener Entblätterungspraktiken untersucht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich ändernde weinbauliche Bedingungen die Gehalte von Aromastoffen in den Weinen beeinflussen, insbesondere die von 3SH, Linalool und 1,1,6 Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN). Zusätzlich hierzu wurde der Aromastoff trans-Zimtsäureethylester als möglicher beteiligter Aromastoff in der Wahrnehmung der aromatischen Typizität in Rieslingweinen identifiziert. Der hierzu angewandte vergleichende Ansatz mit trockenen Weißweinen aus Bordeaux unter Verwendung einer sensorisch geleiteten Fraktionierung mittels Hochdruck-Flüssigkeits-Chromatographie (HPLC) und anschließender zweidimensionalen Gaschromatographie gekoppelt mit olfaktorischer und hochauflösender massenspektrometrischer Detektion erwies sich als sehr gut geeignetes Werkzeug zur Dechiffrierung des Aromas von Rieslingweinen. Die Gesamtheit der Ergebnisse ermöglichte es das Wissen über die aromatische Typizität von Rieslingweinen und die beteiligten Aromastoffe zu erweitern, und einen Einblick zu bekommen wie diese Konzentrationen durch weinbauliche Faktoren beeinflusst werden
Bou, Nader Khalil. "Grapevine age : Impact on physiology and berry and wine quality." Thesis, Bordeaux, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018BORD0329/document.
Повний текст джерелаVine age and its relation to the quality of the wine are topics of recurring interest, both scientific and economic. Consumers and actors in the wine sector seem to agree on the ability of old vines to produce wines of superior character. Despite ongoing research, the validity of this point of view remains debated and questions about the mechanisms through which old vines would end up with superior quality wines remain numerous. To try to answer them, the impact vine age on physiology, tolerance to water stress, and berry and wine quality were studied in an experimental vineyard planted with Vitis vinifera L. cv. of identical genetic material (Riesling Gm 239 grafted on 5C Teleki) but planted in different years.In 2014 and 2015, the vines planted in 2012 had not yet reached their full potential and had a significantly lower vegetative productivity and yield than the vines planted in 1995 and 1971. Moreover, the vines planted in 2012 were not subjected to the same grass treatment as older vines during this period to prevent excessive competition during establishment. The lower capacity of these vines and the absence of cover crop led to greater exposure of clusters to light and greater nitrogen accumulation, which resulted in a higher concentration of amino acids, monoterpenes, norisoprenoids, and flavonols in 2014 and 2015. In the following years (2016 and 2017), the yield and pruning weight of these vines, as well as their berry composition, were comparable to those of the older vines. The parameters of technological maturity (° Brix, total acidity and must pH) were not significantly affected by vine age.Vines planted in 1995 and 1971 showed similar physiological characteristics throughout the study with the exception of a higher incidence of esca syndrome in the older group. This disease was responsible for the decline in the total yield of vines planted in 1971, but individual yield per vine was equivalent for both groups.Sensory and chemical analyzes were conducted in 2017 on wines from previous vintages. The wines of the youngest vines were associated with aromas of ripe fruit and the kerosene aroma that is typical of Riesling. These wines were also identified by higher concentrations of potential monoterpenes and norisoprenoids and volatile sulfur compounds in 2014 and 2015 only. The sensory and chemical profiles of wines from vineyards planted in 1995 and 1971 were dependent on the vintage but not on the age of the vines. The wine profiles produced in 2016 were overlapping for the three age groups.The works described in this thesis manuscript are unique, particularly because the vineyard in which they were conducted was designed specifically to study the effect of the age of the vine under comparable environmental conditions. Once the youngest vines reached their fruiting potential and were conducted in the same way as the older vines, their productivity, the composition of their berries and the quality of the wines they produce converged with those of the two other groups. More interestingly, vines aged 19 and 43 years behaved similarly throughout the study and resulted in wines comparable in terms of sensory analysis, which goes against the an idea that the older vines produce wines of a different profile.Previous studies have shown that the productivity of the vines, whatever their age, could be explained by the wood reserves and the size of the trunk. To have a better idea of differences linked to reserves, the structure-from-motion with multi-view stereo-photogrammetry (SfM-MVS) method was tested to measure trunk thickness and volume. The technique, which allows the creation of scaled, georeferenced 3D models based on photographs, was able to produce accurate models of field-grown grapevine trunks

Повний текст джерелаAbstract : Inertial measurement of motion is emerging as an alternative to 3D motion capture systems in biomechanics. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are composed of accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers which data are fed into a fusion algorithm to determine the orientation of a rigid body in a global reference frame. Although IMUs offer advantages over traditional methods of motion capture, the value of their orientation measurement for biomechanics is not well documented. Objectives: (i) To characterize the validity of the orientation measurement issued from IMUs; (ii) To optimize the validity and the reliability of these measurements; and (iii) To propose mobility metrics based on the orientation measurement obtained from IMUs. Methods and results: The criterion of validity of multiple types of IMUs was characterized using a controlled bench test and a gold standard. Accuracy of orientation measurement was shown to be acceptable under slow conditions of motion (mean accuracy ≤ 3.1º), but it was also demonstrated that an increase in velocity worsens accuracy. The impact of those findings on clinical mobility evaluation was then assessed in the lab, with 20 participants wearing an inertial suit while performing typical mobility tasks (standing-up, walking, turning). Comparison of the assessed IMUs orientation measurements with those from an optical gold standard allowed to capture a portrait of the variation in accuracy across tasks, segments and joints. The optimization process was then approached from a user perspective, first demonstrating the capability of an artificial neural network to autonomously assess the quality of orientation data sequences (sensitivity and specificity ≥ 83%). The issue of joint orientation accuracy in magnetically perturbed environment was also specifically addressed, demonstrating the ability of a 2D photograph coupled with a 3D pose estimation algorithm to improve mean ankle orientation accuracy from 6.7° to 2.8º when walking (n=60 trials). Finally, characterization of the turn cranio-caudal kinematics signature (variables: maximum head to trunk angle and neuromuscular commands amplitude) has demonstrated a good ability to discriminate between healthy older adults (n=15) and early stages of Parkinson’s disease patients (PD, n=15). Metrics have also shown a good sensitivity to change, enabling to detect changes in PD medication states. Conclusion: IMUs offer a complementary solution for mobility assessment in clinical biomechanics. However, the full potential of this technology will only be reached when IMUs will be integrated and validated within a clinical tool.

Повний текст джерелаAtypical sensory processing in autism spectrum disorder, data from ELENA cohort: impact and specificity.The overall goal of this thesis in developmental psychology is to study atypical sensory processing in autism spectrum disorder. The observation of the early detection of atypical sensory processing in children with autism spectrum disorder raises questions about their impact on their development. This work consisted initially to conduct an analysis of the literature through a systematic review on the links between atypical sensory processing and adaptive functioning and attention. Then, we conducted two studies based on data from a pediatric cohort on autism spectrum disorder, the ELENA Cohort. The first study aimed to investigate the impact of atypical sensory processing on adaptive functioning as well as the presence of maladaptive behaviors. That is the reason why, we examine the specific character of atypical sensory processing in a sample of 197 children with autistic disorder. Therefore, the aim of our second study was to compare sensory processing in four groups of children: 43 children with autism spectrum disorder, 28 children with attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity, 18 children presenting both diagnosis, and 31 typically developing children. The results reveal a high prevalence of atypical sensory processing in children with autism spectrum disorder and in those with attention deficit compared to typical children. We find a significant relationship between atypical sensory processing and adaptive functioning and with attention, as well as an impact on maladaptive behaviors. Consequently, the assessment of sensory processing is essential for the clinical diagnosis but also to propose adapted interventions. Finally, this thesis opens up research perspectives on sensory processing in autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders.Key words: Autism spectrum disorder, Sensory processing, Attention deficit disorder, Adaptive functioning, Developmental psychology, Attention

Background: Impaired somatosensation of the footsole is a common clinical sign of diabetic sensory neuropathy. Somatosensory inputs from the sole of the foot are known to contribute to postural control. Research has shown impaired control in static standing and balance recovery after support surface perturbations in diabetic patients (DP) with sensory deficits at the foot. However, it is unknown if patient’s ability in volitionally moving the body’s center of mass (COM) within a stationary base of support would be associated with the extent of sensory impairment. Reach forward or laterally are functional relevance in daily activities, and usually used as clinical balance tests of volitionally moving COM toward the limit of stability. This study investigated the differences in the ability of moving the COM forward and laterally in DP with and without sensory deficits, and identified its potential contributing factors. Methods:Thirty-one DP participated in the study, and were divided into sensory deficits (DP-SN, N=17) and no sensory deficits (DP-nonSN, N=17) groups based the touch-pressure threshold of the foot. Muscle strength of the lower extremity, trunk and grasp, basic mobility (up-and-go test) and level of physical activity were also examined. Multi-Directional Reach Test (MDRT) that required the subject to reach forward or laterally as far as possible without losing balance or moving the feet was used to measure the ability to control the COM forward and laterally. Body kinematics were recorded by the VICON motion system for offline estimation of the COM location. Independent t test and multivariate analysis of covariance were used to compare the difference of demographic data, physical examinations and reach performances between DP-nonSN and DP-SN. Pearson correlation and Spearman’s test were used for correlation analysis among demographic data, physical examinations and performance in MDRT. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify potential contributors (age, gender, duration of diabetes, sensory threshold, strength, basic mobility and physical activity) to COM displacement. Results:After controlling for the strength of the plantarflexors, the COM range during forward and lateral reach was significantly smaller in DP-SN, compared to DP-nonSN. The range of COM forward displacement was significantly correlated with the sensory threshold of the big toe (r=-0.645), the first metatarsal head (r=-0.59), and the fifth metatarsal head (r=-0.581), plantarflexor strength(r=0.66) and physical activity (r=0.502). Stepwise regression analysis showed that sensory threshold of the big toe and physical activity added significant contributions to COM forward displacement (added R2=0.262). The range of COM left lateral displacement was significantly correlated with the sensory threshold of the left heel (r=-0.562) and the fifth metatarsal head (r=-0.435), plantarflexor strength(r=0.474). Sensory threshold of heels added additional 17.4% contribution to COM lateral displacement. Conclusion:Dynamic balance, measured by voluntarily moving the COM within a stationary base of support, was poorer in DP-SN than in DP-nonSN. The ability to move the COM forward and laterally toward the limits of stability was associated with somatosensation of the footsole, strength of the ankle muscles and level of physical activity. Clinically, special attention in sensorimotor screening, balance training and fall preventions should be given to diabetic patients.

Повний текст джерелаThis study aimed to identify the association between observable sensory behaviours and anxiety symptoms in school-aged children. The children were between the ages of 8-10 years and attended Remedial Schools. The participants were receiving occupational therapy and were identified as having a Sensory Modulation Disorder (SMD). Parents rated their children on the Sensory Profile, and scores were correlated to the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale, completed by the children. Participants showed high quadrant scores indicating “low registration” and sensory “over-responsivity” (avoidance and sensitivity to sensory input). Further, the participants were identified to be an “at risk” population for anxiety disorders, as scores of elevated anxiety exceeded normal populations. Although total anxiety scores correlated with only avoidance quadrant scores (and not sensitive scores as predicted,) other scores indicating emotional behaviours correlated moderately with total anxiety scores. It is concluded that children with SMD are at risk of presenting with anxiety disorder symptoms, and must thus be monitored for these.

Повний текст джерелаPrevious literature has demonstrated high heritability in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and identified some early risk factors in later development of ADHD, including language ability, motor skills and temperament. Emerging evidence has further suggested the possible link between ADHD and poor cognitive functioning and sensory processing. However, little research has done on the relationship between familial ADHD liability and the expression of those early risk factors during infancy. This study explored how familial ADHD liability associated with infants’ behaviours at their first year of life. Infants were categorized into ADHD and control group based on their parental history of ADHD. Standardized assessment and parental reports were used to examine infants’ cognitive functioning, sensory processing, communication, motor ability and temperament. Results indicated that there were no significant differences in behavioural outcomes between infants with and without familial ADHD liability at both 6 and 12 months of age. These results suggested that familial history of ADHD was not a good predictor to detect early differences of cognitive functioning, sensory processing, communication, motor ability and temperament in infancy. Future research is necessary to fully understand the manifestation and pathogenesis of ADHD.

Previous studies showed that the behavior problems of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) were associated with attention deficit and sensory processing problems. This study investigated the relationship between attention, sensory processing and behaviors. Participants recruited were 21 children with ADHD and 20 children with typical development (TD group). All children were administered with attention tests, with sensory process and daily behavior data gathered from parents. Results showed that ADHD group had lower score in attention tests, particularly in efficiency ratio of Delay Task (p= .006) and Selective Attention (p=.002), indicating poor ability in inhibition control and divided attention in ADHD. Besides, ADHD group had more sensory processing problems than TD in terms of Poor Registration (p= .004), Sensitivity to Stimuli (p= .001), Sensation Seeking (p 〈 .001) and Sensation Avoiding (p 〈 .001). The results also showed that ADHD group had more external behavior problems (p 〈 .001). Moreover, Sensation Seeking predicted hyperactivity/ impulsivity and Sensation Avoiding was the predictor of internal behavior problems in ADHD. The results supported the role of sensory processing for the behavior problems of ADHD children, and more studies for the connection are recommended.

The spread of the practice of “trilogues”, with which were implemented the provisions of the Treaties, made the decision-making process unclear and untransparent, decreasing the “democratic potentialities” of the ordinary legislative procedure and making clear that the sic et simpliciter strengthening of the Parliament’s powers, it is not sufficient to ensure a more democratic decision-making procedure.

Повний текст джерелаFog and dew interception and utilization by plant canopies remains one of the least considered aspects of vegetation studies at any scale yet the few studies that have been conducted point to their considerable influence on ecological processes and a critical role in modulating climate in southern African arid ecosystems. Their relevance to succulent plant hydrology was investigated in this study.The first study measured stable 18O and 2H isotope ratios in samples of rain, fog and dew water and compared these with those assayed monthly in stem xylem water of six succulent shrub species over a one year period. Negative 18O and 2H ratios were observed in the stem xylem water of all six species signifying a predominance of water derived from fog and dew precipitation which was most conspicuous during the wet winter. This implied that fog and dew are even more important sources of water than rain and corroborated by significant correspondence found between fog and dew frequencies, succulent foliar water contents and quantum yields of photochemistry.The second study monitored variations in stem diameter at 2-hourly intervals in 8 succulent shrub species of diverse growth form over a 9-month period. Two groups of species were distinguished based on whether their daily amplitudes in stem diameter were consistently positively correlated with daily fluxes in vapour pressure deficit, which were indicative of a persistent CAM photosynthetic mode, or intermittently correlated with daily fluxes in vapour pressure deficit, which were indicative of mixed CAM and C3 photosynthetic modes. Among species displaying a persistent CAM photosynthetic mode, high nocturnal fog and dew precipitation amounts corresponded with low daily amplitudes in stem diameter, and vice versa, which pointed to reduced nocturnal stomatal water loss. These patterns, which were indistinct among species displaying mixed CAM and C3 photosynthetic modes, were corroborated by small daily amplitudes in stem diameter also consistently observed in one species displaying a CAM photosynthetic mode in ambient than artificially fog and dew excluded environments.The third study monitored changes in water mass at hourly intervals of quartz gravel substrates with different dwarf succulent species assemblages over an 8-month period.Consistently greater net amounts of water were intercepted daily by quartz gravel substrates containing Agyroderma pearsonii than Cephalophylum spissum plants as well as those without plants. These attributed to a high water repellence of A. pearsonii leaves and less radiation absorbed by the paler silvery to grey-green leaves of A. pearsonii leaves than the dark green leaves of C. spissum resulting in lower leaf temperatures and less water loss by transpiration. Quartz gravel soils devoid of plants intercepted nearly 5-times greater amounts of precipitation contributed by fog and dew than that contributed by rain. These precipitation amounts exceeding the high percentages of total hydrological input contributed by fog and dew reported in other ecosystems.The study concludes that fog and dew are a vital source of water for succulent shrubs in arid South African ecosystems and imply that diminished fog and dew frequencies associated with elevated night time temperatures accompanying global warming could exacerbate plant drought stress.
