    This study investigates the role of number features in the agrammatic comprehension of object relative clauses with preverbal subjects. A sentence-picture matching task was used to assess the performance of four Italian aphasic patients. Results show that the mismatch condition of number features (with the subject singular/plural and the object plural/singular) is computationally the most complex one. In this condition, aphasic patients have greatest difficulties in establishing the right set of syntactic relations among the constituents of the sentence

    The objective of the present studywas to evaluate themodulation of acute stress response by dietary nucleotides (NT) in sole, Solea solea. A basal dietwas supplemented with levels of 0 (normal diet), or 0.4 g NT/kg dry diet for 8 weeks. At the end of feeding trial, fish fed the normal and NT-supplemented diet were subjected to a standardized protocol of disturbance and sampled over a 24 h recovery after the stressor exposure. Modulatory effects of NT on acute stress response (cortisol and glucose), proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and cannabinoid receptor 1 splice variants (CB1A and CB1B) mRNA levels were studied. Both plasma cortisol and glucose levels of fish fed NT-supplemented diet were significantly lower than fish fed the control diet at 1 and 4 h post-stress time-points. There are no significant effects of dietary NT on POMC and HSP70 mRNA levels. In our study, both CB1A and CB1B trascript levels were induced in fish fed the normal diet at 1 and 4 h post-stress intervals. Collectively, the results obtained suggest that dietary NT modulates the CB1-like receptor mRNA expressions leading to attenuation in stressor-induced plasma cortisol level in sole

    Spirulina-enriched Substrate to Rear Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Prepupae as Alternative Aquafeed Ingredient for Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Diets: Possible Effects on Zootechnical Performances, Gut and Liver Health Status, and Fillet Quality

    : In the present study, an organic substrate (coffee silverskin) enriched with spirulina (Arthrospira platensis; 15% w/w), as a source of lipids and bioactive molecules, was used to rear the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) prepupae. Three grossly isonitrogenous, isoproteic, isolipidic and isoenergetic experimental diets for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles were then produced: a control diet (HM0) mostly including fish meal and fish oil, and two other test diets named HM3 and HM20, in which 3 or 20% of the marine ingredients were substituted with full fat black soldier fly prepupae meal (HM), respectively. Experimental diets were provided for 6 weeks, and at the end of the trial the physiological responses and marketable traits of the fish were investigated using a multidisciplinary approach. Generally, all test diets were well accepted, and fish growth, gut and liver health status, and marketable characteristics were not impaired by the experimental diets. However, an increased immuno-related gene expression along with a slight reduction of fillet redness and yellowness was evident in fish from the HM20 group

    Évaluation des acquisitions langagières : du formatif au certificatif

    No full text
    The fourteen contributions following the EVAL19 international conference, which was held in October 2019 at the University of Grenoble Alpes, shed light on the relationship between different types of assessment (formative, summative, certificate), their role in the language learning/teaching process and their potential impact on candidates, teachers, examiners and institutions. The emphasis is laid on the notions of equity, co-construction and plurilingualism. Particular interest is also given to pragmatics, verbal and non-verbal modalities, and psychometrics. The plenary lectures highlight the principles of fairness and equity, the importance of context, authenticity, co-construction and collaborative activities in scenario-based language assessments (SBLA). Several articles are then devoted to the Formative Language Evaluation System (SELF), the French Higher Education Language Proficiency Certificate (CLES) and the Diploma of Language Competence (DCL). Most of the articles are based on productions in English, German and Italian as well as Chinese and Japanese
